The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 517 The Reason for the Forerunner's Disappearance
Boom!

A thunderous explosion resounded through the sky.

In the Dingtian Holy Sect branch, two giants fought back and forth. The aftermath of their fight was like a sledgehammer, shattering all the surrounding buildings and stones into dust.

The ground of the entire branch continued to cave in during the fight between the two men.

boom!
The two separated.

Richard's left chest was torn open, and four claw marks were clearly visible on the snow-white ribs. The fake martial saint's blood-red body was covered with claw marks burning with black flames.

In the previous battle, Ulysses had been harassing him constantly, forcing him to use most of his energy to be alert to Ulysses. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fighting so hard with Richard, a creature who had only half a foot into the fourth level gate.

But what he didn't know was that if Ulysses hadn't wanted to capture him alive, he would have killed him long ago.

After possessing a body of the Lord of the World, Ulises' strength has made a qualitative leap. With the cooperation of Richard, ordinary level 4 creatures are no longer a match for them.

Richard looked at the blood-red giant in front of him, a mocking smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Under the effect of the rules, his body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, the blood-red giant transformed by the fake Martial Saint in front of him could not recover because of Ulysses' black flame.

As one grew stronger, the other weakened, and the blood-red giant became extremely weak.

While Richard was observing, the fake Martial Saint was also observing Richard. He knew his own body's condition better than Richard did, and the inextinguishable black flames were eroding his life at a slow but unshakable speed.

And he was sure that the guy in front of him was definitely not a wild orc.

"The Heavenly Demon? It seems that the news of the cooperation between the Holy Church and the Heavenly Demon is already false."

The fake martial saint looked at Richard and sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the news he intercepted would be false despite the risk of exposing his identity.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have jumped out. As long as he did not jump out, those people from the Dingtian Holy Sect who wished their brains could grow muscles would not be able to discover his identity.

But it's too late to say more now.

The fake martial saint looked past Richard and looked at the strange formation behind Richard that seemed ordinary but was actually hiding murderous intent.

He must escape now, even if he can't escape, he has to pass the message on.

Next, the Dingtian Holy Sect will begin a large-scale search of the Holy Church. If the news is not passed on, who knows how many brothers will die in the search.

"drink!"

The fake Martial Saint suddenly shouted loudly, and his body, which had already expanded to five meters, expanded again.

When Richard saw this scene, instead of looking nervous, he showed a hint of joy.

He could see that the fake Martial Saint in front of him had run out of tricks and could only rely on the secret method of overdrawing his body to break through.

But he is not the only one who knows the secret method to improve strength in a short period of time.

"Triple Garon Sealing Technique, broken!"

A long time ago, Richard began to seal his body. However, because Richard grew too fast and the span was too large, after each seal, it would not take long for the seal to break due to his physical growth, so it had been used in previous battles.

But it's different now.

Richard's body has already reached the level of a saint, and his physique will remain at this level for a long time. So after he became the leader of Wuxiang Valley, he sealed his body with three layers of seals.

After ten years of accumulation, the power accumulated by the seal has become considerable.

In an instant, both sides of the battle charged at the same time.

In the space of a breath, the two exchanged blows in the air 124 times. The sounds of their collisions overlapped, like the footsteps of migrating animals on the African grasslands. But after the shock wave was transmitted, these dull sounds were like thunder before a heavy rain.

The people in the city looked at the sky that had become gloomy because of the fight between the two men and muttered, "What a horrible weather."

boom!
A black light flashed across the sky.

The two separated.

Richard's abdomen was cut open by the fake martial saint, and the torn intestines, mixed with red and green, continued to ooze out of the wound. On the bloody scar, a force of rules was preventing Richard from using the rules to heal the wound.

Opposite him, the fake Martial Saint was no longer moving.

A pitch-black crow's claw reached into his back and was now tightly gripping his heart. Under the erosion of Ulysses, the blood-red giant in front of him had no chance of resistance.

Richard forced a smile and cut off the parts of his body that were infected by the alien rules.

Without the constraints of alien rules, his injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Haha, let's call it a day."

Richard clapped his hands and was about to ask Ulysses to throw the demon into the secret realm. But before he opened his mouth, he saw Ulysses' eyes suddenly change.

"Not good, use the rule barrier!" The next moment, a strange energy suddenly burst out from the fake martial saint. Although Richard activated the rule barrier in time because of Ulysses's reminder, he was still affected by the aftermath of this power because he was too close.

For a moment, Richard felt as if he had forgotten something.

The outbreak ended quickly, and Richard removed the rule barrier and looked around in confusion.

"What was I doing just now?"

Ulises escaped from the void and landed on Richard's shoulder.

"Have you forgotten yet? You were just fighting a martial arts master from a demon sect that had infiltrated the Dingtian Holy Sect. You and I were planning to capture this demon alive."

"is it?"

Richard's face changed slightly. He had no memory of this part at all. There was not even the shadow of this so-called demon cult monster.

“Don’t think about it.” Ulises shook his head. “You can’t remember it. That’s because that memory is already blocked. You won’t be able to recall it until you become a great wizard.”

"Block?" Richard asked in confusion.

Ulises paused and explained, "Among the curse spells of your wizards, there is a kind of spell that weakens a person's sense of existence. You should remember it."

Richard nodded. "Yes. You mean, I just encountered a similar spell, which specifically hid my memory of the demon."

"That's about right, but it's actually more complicated than that." Ulises replied, "This demon's ability should be antimemetics. He has internalized all of his own information, along with all of the information he left in this world.

Memories of him will be blocked, records about him will be ignored, and he himself will be unable to be observed or touched.

If I hadn’t seen similar tactics before, I would have really been tricked by him this time.”

As he spoke, a layer of holy light shone on Ulysses' body. Under Ulysses' control, the power of faith quickly turned into a pale lantern.

In the light of the lantern, Richard suddenly discovered that the corpse of a wild orc was standing less than five meters in front of him.

"Wouldn't this ability make them invincible?" Richard said in horror. "If they can't be observed or touched, then wouldn't it be completely impossible for them to be discovered when they assassinate someone?"

"That's not the case." Ulises shook his head and said, "Antimemes also have different levels. Low-level antimemes will make you forget his memory when you are not observing him, but there will still be physical traces, and records about him can also be preserved.

Higher-level antimemetic organisms have no physical traces and are difficult to record, but they also lose the possibility of interacting with the physical world and can only assassinate by devouring a person's information.

But any creature that is sensitive to its own memory will detect this devouring and expel these creatures. However..."

Looking at the corpse, Ulises hesitated and said, "Richard, this cult is a bit tricky."

"What do you mean?"

"This demon's anti-memetic ability is not his own, but given to him by others. If nothing unexpected happens, the source of this ability should be the legendary demon lord who was sealed in the underworld.

Anti-memes, Demon Lord, Richard, we may have found the reason for the demise of the Forerunners."

Ulises' words struck Richard as if he had been struck by lightning. From the time he came into contact with the Forerunners until now, he had never seen any records about the Forerunner race. He did not know the appearance of this race, nor did he know the language and writing of this race, let alone their history.

Even after the dinosaurs died, there were still fossils left. However, after such a glorious civilization as the Forerunners disappeared, the wizards couldn't even find a single corpse.

The only thing he knew was the code name called the Supreme, and this nickname was probably given to them by other races.

And combining this result with the anti-memetic ability that the Demon Lord may possess... In an instant, Richard felt as if a pair of invisible hands had tightly grasped his heart.

Even though he was already above the mundane world, he was still a little breathless at this moment.

"No, this news must be reported."

Richard found the communication pyramid in a panic and was about to pass the message to the wizard headquarters, but before he could do anything, he was held down by Ulysses.

"Are you crazy? This is the territory of Dingtian Holy Sect. You are not reporting to the outside world now!"

Richard was awakened from his panic by Ulises's shout. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

While Richard was calming down, Ulises said, “You don’t have to panic. Although the traces of the forerunners have been erased, you have to know that this process lasted for hundreds of epochs.

It's just because of the disappearance of memory that we think we didn't find these traces at the beginning. Besides, you wizards don't have anything else, but the top power is definitely sufficient.

With five and a half star realm masters, even if the Demon Lord breaks the seal with such fighting power, he won’t be able to make any big changes.”

Richard was also infected by Ulises' calmness and his mood calmed down.

"Indeed, I was too panicked."

Ulises consoled him, "You don't have enough experience, it's normal to be scared by this thing."

Reason regained his composure, looked at the corpse in front of him, and asked with some distress: "Can this ability be broken? After all, this is the body of the Lord of the World. Even cooking with it is very nutritious. It would be a pity to throw it away."
