Versatile Mage: Shadow of Dimension

Zhang Chenran sat cross-legged in the void, gazing at the four Dark Kings opposite him from afar. Neither side made a move for a long time.

"Gentlemen, are you afraid to make a move?" Zhang Chenran broke the silence first, his eyes filled with mockery.

The four kings remained silent, but behind them, earth-shattering changes were taking place.

The space between the distant dark heavens and the earth was strangely distorted. The celestial space shattered, and countless figures poured out from the broken space, like a dark locust army.

These are various dark races from the dark plane, subordinate to the Dark Kings.

The dark armies of the Dark Land were clearly not there in advance.

Eerie, sinister winds could be seen surrounding these dark armies, resembling boats and ships, swirling around them and propelling each unit forward.

Those dark, windswept ships seemed to possess the supernatural ability to travel thousands of miles in an instant, traversing a dark realm in just a few breaths.
The space around Zhang Chenran distorted slightly, and the graceful figure of the Queen of Jingjue appeared beside him.

"These dark armies are the faith of the Dark Kings. They are like the Dark Kings' own territory. Even if this land has not been refined by them, with these dark armies present, they can still receive the amplification of the dark laws."

The Queen of Jingjue explained to Zhang Chenran in a low voice, and a miniature dark city appeared in her outstretched jade hand: "This is my domain, and it has a similar effect."

"No need." Zhang Chenran pushed her hand away, gazing at the dark army that almost filled the entire space in his field of vision:
"What is illusory is ultimately illusory; the path they took was destined to fail just like the three rooftops of the magical plane."

Whether it's the Bermuda Tribe from the magical plane, the Southern Emperor, or the Lord of the Sahara.

These Dark Kings from the Dark Dimension all follow the same path: refining the laws of heaven and earth or the laws of darkness, thereby assimilating heaven and earth and making themselves invincible.

But this also puts them in a perpetually passive position; they can only confine themselves to their own territory.

Once they leave the territory, they only have their own cultivation power.

Even if one goes to great lengths to devise these unorthodox methods and inherit the faith of the land through the medium of the dark army, one is ultimately not truly in the land!

Zhang Chenran serves the nation and establishes boundaries with his own body; wherever he is, he is a territory of his own, and this is his greatest source of confidence.
“That may be true, but the four of them are, after all, Dark Kings, and their cultivation has reached the highest level. How are you going to deal with them?” Queen Jingjue said.

Zhang Chenran's lips curled slightly, and he raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. A figure darted out from behind him and appeared behind the Queen of Jingjue.

When the Queen of Jingjue looked over, she discovered that Zhang Chenran was still directly absorbing and refining Wen Tai's dark essence into his dark body.

Zhang Chenran, who was sitting cross-legged in the void, no longer concealed his aura and revealed it completely.

Late period of the Roof Ridge Emperor!

The Queen of Jingjue's beautiful eyes widened in shock as she said incredulously:

"You actually refined the entire Southern Region in such a short time?!"

Zhang Chenran's dimensional body was only at the mid-stage of the Roof Emperor realm when he dealt with the Spirit Curse King.

To break through from the mid-stage to the late-stage of the Roof Emperor realm in just a few months, one must have refined a large amount of dark laws!
Zhang Chenran's dark body was formed by refining her and the Spirit Curse King, including Wen Tai's dark origin just now, before he broke through to the late stage of the Roof Emperor.

She couldn't think of any other reason besides the unclaimed dark laws of the Southern Region that could rival the three kings' dark origins.

But how could it be possible to refine the entire Southern Region in such a short time?!
Just how powerful is Zhang Chenran's mastery of dimensional power?!
"I've refined about 80-90%, but that's about it," Zhang Chenran said. The Dark Body transformed into black shadow mist and merged into the Dimensional Body.

With his two bodies merged into one, Zhang Chenran's cultivation level surged once again, directly rising from the late stage of the Roof Emperor realm to the peak of the late stage of the Roof Emperor realm!

Sensing Zhang Chenran's presence, the four Dark Kings who had been poised to act in the distance completely changed their gaze towards him.

Shock, confusion, fear, unease—they had only ever sensed this level of aura from the Asura King!

With his cultivation level increasing once again, Zhang Chenran expanded his dimensional energy realm once more, this time directly enveloping the entire Southern Region and even including other areas.

Those dark armies that did not enter the Southern Region were also enveloped in it!

The shadow behind Zhang Chenran suddenly expanded, and countless creatures exuding the aura of the Shadow Tribe crawled out from it.

Led by Jiang Yinyun, Kunlun Demon Emperor, Lengyuemou Demon God, Huangsha Kugu Queen, Youlai and other sovereign emperors, they command an army of hundreds of millions of shadow descendants!
For this great battle, Zhang Chenran had previously gathered the Holy City's Forbidden Spell Army and the Forbidden Spell Alliance from the five continents to wipe out the major demon empires in the magic plane.

The number of emperors killed alone is in the hundreds of thousands, and the number of demons killed is in the hundreds of millions!

These dead demons naturally became soldiers in the Shadow Legion.

Although the demon soldiers of these great empires slaughtered were still no match for the colossal dark army that the Dark Kings had cultivated for countless centuries.

But the real key to victory lies in the competition among the top few.
"Kill them all."

At Zhang Chenran's command, the Shadow Legion charged towards the army of the Four Dark Kings like wild horses.

The Dark Army, having received no orders from the Four Kings, dared not move and remained silently in place, watching the menacing Shadow Army charge towards them.

Little did they know, the four Dark Lords are now struggling to protect themselves.
"What do we do now?" The witch god panicked, unable to make up his mind.

The other three kings looked equally grim, completely unprepared for Zhang Chenran's hidden methods.

Not only did he steal the sky and change the sun to refine the ownerless dark origin of the Southern Region, but he will also have the special means of splitting himself in two, with both bodies reaching the late stage of the Roof Emperor realm.

The two combined, and he even reached the realm of the Asura King!

No one knows the realm above the Emperor, but the Asura King has been at the peak of the late stage of the Roof Emperor for countless centuries, and he is likely to go even further and touch upon the realm above the Emperor.

Now, it seems only the Asura King can suppress Zhang Chenran.
"Let's retreat first. We may not be his match now," Chi Gu King said in a deep voice.

The Four Dark Lords acted decisively, abandoning their dark armies and fleeing when the situation turned against them.

The faith of dark beings can be rekindled. As long as the dark lands they have refined still exist, there is still hope. As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Zhang Chenran watched the four figures fleeing in a disheveled state, but did not rush to chase after them. He simply raised his hand and flicked it lightly.

The crisp sound of a finger snap echoed throughout the Southern Region, causing a subtle distortion in this dimensional world, but the four Dark Kings within the dimensional energy realm remained completely unaware.

According to the Dark Lords, they were rapidly fleeing the Southern Region.

From Zhang Chenran's and the Queen of Jingjue's perspective, however, they were stuck in place at a spatial node. (End of Chapter)
