The Wizard: From Zero-Ring Wizard to Almighty Lord.

Rumble!
The sky trembled, and the sea of ​​clouds surged.

The cyan platform hangs high in the sky, like a cyan sun hanging high in the clouds, pouring out a dazzling and abundant cyan light.

The light was pure and gentle, containing a life force so rich it was almost tangible, like a spring breeze sweeping across a wasteland, or morning dew seeping into parched soil.

Each ray of blue light seemed to whisper silently: vitality, revival, continuation.

However, amidst this vibrant scene, the world suddenly turned on its head.

One terrifying attack after another came from all directions, aimed directly at the blue sun!
The crimson spear was the first to tear through the void.

The spearhead, wreathed in blazing flames, resembled a burning meteor, turning the sky crimson in its wake.

Flames surged upwards, heat waves rolled, and the air distorted into visible ripples in the high temperature, as if the entire sky was about to be ignited.

Immediately following, the Frost Spear materialized with a thunderous roar.

Azure ice crystals condensed into the gun barrel. With a single thrust, a chilling aura swept through the air, and a large area of ​​clouds was instantly frozen into a towering ice wall.

The sound of ice cracking was as loud as thunder. Blue and white cold light and crimson firelight intertwined in mid-air, ice and fire clashing, yet also overlapping each other.

The destructive power surged to a terrifying level.

This was a full-force attack from both paladins, without holding back.

The divine power poured down, and even a true god would have to be cautious, let alone a mere "false god".

Almost simultaneously, solemn and dignified chanting resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

A golden light suddenly appeared, pure and holy.

The golden-haired saint stood in the void, her robes fluttering, her body radiating a surging light; behind her, two white-haired old bishops chanted ancient and obscure prayers in hushed tones.

Golden light converged and solidified.

The phantom of a magnificent temple slowly emerged in the void.

The temple's outline became increasingly clear, as if it were about to become a reality in the next moment.

The will to judge and annihilate then crashed down, its overwhelming pressure enough to break the mind and tremble the soul of any living being.

The phantom of the temple pressed down directly onto the cyan platform!
And on the platform.

The Lord of Life sat there, his expression serene throughout.

Faced with this devastating attack, there was no panic, no hesitation, and not even the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.

This body originally belonged to Jess, an experimental offspring created by Lynn using forbidden witchcraft.

In the wizarding world, he may have been a legendary knight; but in the Spirit Eye plane, he would only be equivalent to a level 1 knight.

Level 1 organism.

His ability to unleash such a vast life force is entirely dependent on the Azure Sky Spirit within his body.

However, the true control of the Azure Sky Spirit has always been in Lynn's hands.

The Lord of Life was only granted the authority of "faith," which allowed him to absorb believers and reciprocate divine power, but he could not truly use it for combat.

Logically speaking, he was powerless to resist all of this.

But he remained calm.

Because at this moment, through the eyes of this body, Lynn is watching the battlefield, taking in everything.

Now it was time for Lynn himself to take action, along with Tina, who was now only a soul.

Ice and Fire.

The icy spear and the crimson flame spear intertwined and attacked from both sides, while flames and frost collided head-on in mid-air. Under the clash of forces, the void was twisted and cracked open with unstable ripples.

At the same time, the prayers of the saints and bishops converged into a surging tide.

The terrifying phantom of the temple was slowly approaching from the depths of the sky, its outline becoming clearer and clearer, and a judgmental pressure was pressing down layer by layer!

The next moment, it will come completely.

Right at this moment.

A deep, suppressed thud suddenly came from the sky above.

Click!

Click!

The sound wasn't shrill, yet it sent chills down the spines of all living beings.

It's as if the whole world is a giant egg, and all people are just creatures inside the eggshell.

At this moment, this "egg" is being forcibly split open from the outside in by some external force.

It was not a self-destruction caused by internal forces going out of control.

Instead, it was an invincible will that directly tore through this "shell".

"The sky... the sky has cracked open?!"

"Is this the power of a great figure from the temple? It actually tore the heavens and earth apart?!"

Below, millions of troops simultaneously came to a standstill.

The original offensive, shouts of killing, and screams came to an abrupt halt in that instant.

In the distance, Lynn's army of alchemists and wizards had already ceased fighting.

Everyone looked up, their gazes fixed on the ever-widening crack in the sky.

The natives' expressions changed drastically.

Even those level three powerhouses initially thought it was due to the power of the temple's bigwigs going out of control.

But soon they realized something was wrong.

That aura did not originate from within this world.

That force came from the outside, not from an internal force, but was a complete "external invasion"!
Almost simultaneously, countless figures in the wizard and alchemist camps suddenly looked up.

An irrepressible, burning light ignited in their eyes.

They knew that the great Morning Star Wizard had personally descended.

As a mere rudimentary civilization plane, the arrival of a Morning Star being from the Wizarding World should naturally set it apart from the rest.

The sky was completely torn apart.

The sky, which was originally formless and shapeless, now revealed a "texture", as if a huge blue sky had been torn into two irregular halves from the center by an invisible giant hand;
It was like a giant blade slashing down from the sky, splitting the heavens in two.

Deep within the rift, tiny, black snake-like spatial fluctuations roamed endlessly, hissing and spewing forth the darkness and distortion of the void.

Immediately afterwards, a suffocatingly terrifying aura descended!

In an instant, the world seemed to be paused.

The ice and fire twin spears, which were hurtling down, suddenly froze in mid-air.

Flames solidified into crimson ice sculptures, and ice froze into burning blue flames;
The golden temple phantom that the saintess and bishops had painstakingly created was like a sealed illusion, frozen in the last moment before it solidified, unable to advance even an inch further.

All the offensive, all the pressure, all the killing intent, all froze at this moment.

Millions of eyes were drawn to the crack in the sky, as if even the sound of heartbeats had been erased in that instant.

The blue sun and the original red sun still hung high in the sky, but at this moment, they appeared quieter than ever before, even smaller.

"What a pity... I thought I could catch a big fish and end it all in one fell swoop... I didn't expect that level four native to be so cautious..."

A soft female voice rang out; it was Tina. Her tone carried a hint of regret, but not much disappointment.

"It's alright. From today onwards, no one will be able to stop the faith in the Lord of Life... The progress of this interdimensional expedition will be greatly accelerated."

Lynn's voice was calm and normal, as if he were stating something that had been planned in advance.

"What a pity..."

A faint female voice echoed in the void.

"I thought I could catch a big fish and finish it off in one fell swoop... but I didn't expect that level four native to be so cautious."

The owner of the voice was Tina.

His tone carried a hint of regret, but not much disappointment, as if he had simply missed an unimportant opportunity.

"It's alright."

Lynn's voice followed, calm and composed.

"From this day forward, no one will be able to stop the faith in the Lord of Life."

"The progress of this interdimensional expedition will be greatly accelerated as a result."

"Ah."

Tina responded softly.

"Then let's get started."

The words fell.

Suddenly, a breath took shape between heaven and earth.

The essence of a wizard lies in the soul.

With each breakthrough in a realm, a new, permanent magical mark is imprinted on the spiritual realm, that is, the origin of the soul, becoming an indelible part.

Therefore, even though Tina is currently only in soul form and has no physical body, she still retains the full combat power of a level four Morning Star Wizard.

Deep within the realm of the spirit, those permanent imprints trembled slightly.

The laws of heaven and earth resonated with this, as if silently responding to the will of the Morning Star Witch.

However, Tina didn't even use rule-level witchcraft.

Currently, there are no truly level four opponents, so it's not worth her expending mental energy to activate such a powerful weapon.

She didn't even use her Level 4 permanent mark.

It is merely witchcraft at the formal wizarding stage.

However, in the hands of the Morning Star Wizard, it is enough to unleash terrifying power far exceeding its original level.

"Level One Sorcery, Falling Fragrance Heavenly Splendor".

"Level Two Sorcery, Azure Sky Light."

"Level Three Sorcery, Star Wind Sacrifice".

A cold female voice rang out in succession, and three spells were cast simultaneously.

In an instant, the world shone with brilliant light.

Terrifying energy factors surged like a tide, sweeping across all directions.

In the sky, it was as if youth had suddenly appeared, with petals falling everywhere, yet they were as sharp as blades, shattering the void layer by layer wherever they passed.
The phantoms of the azure sky and the underworld intertwined, with dark blue and golden light mingling, as if the heavens and earth were hanging upside down;

The starlight suddenly ignited, a gale arose, and wind blades swept across, tearing apart everything in their path.

Tina's target was clear and direct: the two paladins who had joined forces to activate the "Dual Heaven of Ice and Fire".

The offensive came to a halt. The terrifying domain formed by the intertwining of ice and fire was torn apart head-on, offering almost no real resistance.

The crimson flames dissipated like smoke, and the icy ice shattered into dust.

Two completely opposite forces were utterly crushed the moment they came into contact, turning into scattered energy remnants that resembled the brief and meaningless afterglow of fireworks after they exploded.

Tina's attack came crashing down, a clash of ice and fire, easily pierced and torn apart, engulfing the two paladins in the process.

At the same time that all this was happening, the mental power of the two Morning Star Wizards had already been fully deployed.

Invisible and silent, like a giant net covering the entire world, it locked onto the two paladins, the golden-haired saintess, and the two old bishops.

They remained in their original posture, spears pointed forward, prayer unfinished, the phantom of the temple hovering in mid-air.

But they were frozen in place, unable to move an inch.

Under the Morning Star Wizard's spiritual power, everything was frozen.

Click!

Click!

A sudden gust of wind arose, and the beauty of spring filled the sky.

The two paladins were swept into the torrent of energy, and only then did they barely regain a sliver of consciousness from the terrifying mental suppression.

However, it was too late.

The three spells Tina cast had already completely merged.

Layer upon layer, interlocking with each other, like three tightly interwoven killing formations, trapping the two of them within.

They fought back with all their might.

He brandished his spear wildly, unleashing his divine power without reservation, and shielded himself with holy light, attempting to tear open a path to survival.

What responded to them was a torrent of youthful beauty pouring down; a deep blue abyss engulfing them like the depths of hell; a sharp blade that swept past like a howling wind, cutting everything to shreds.

Three spells intertwined into a net, their attacks like rain, impenetrable and dense.

Through the scattered petals and shards of light, one could still vaguely see two figures struggling frantically, spears flashing, divine power trembling, holy light shining and shattering again and again.

Then, youthful beauty was covered, the azure sky devoured it, and starlight strangled it.

Everything fell silent.

They didn't even manage to scream before they died.

The two paladins vanished silently into the air, like two candle flames extinguished by the wind.

below.

Countless eyes witnessed this scene clearly.

After a brief period of deathly silence, a sudden and massive upheaval ensued.

Especially those third-level bishops and legendary knights, their faces turned ashen in an instant.

The two paladins, ranked fifth and sixth in the temple hierarchy, together are enough to threaten the top three in the hierarchy.

Now, it has been so easily erased.

Almost instantly.

This time, even the words "how could this be?" seemed superfluous.

....................................

Different levels of perspective offer different views.

Lynn watched Tina's smooth and fluid offensive, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Combined magic..."

So-called combination magic starts with level one magic and progresses upwards step by step—level two, level three, level four, level five... layer by layer, step by step.

There are hidden and close connections between various forms of witchcraft.

When the release sequence, structure, and mental rhythm are precisely linked, the power is no longer a simple addition, but undergoes a qualitative change.

Just like Tina's move just now.

She only used first-level, second-level, and third-level witchcraft, but through perfect coordination, the three elements intertwined and amplified each other, unleashing a power no less than that of true fourth-level witchcraft.

This is precisely the most terrifying aspect of combination magic: the mental energy consumption is relatively controllable, yet it can deliver a devastating output far exceeding that of single-target magic.

However, its entry barrier is also incredibly high.

Combining magic is not a matter of temporarily piecing things together; rather, it requires a powerful wizard with sufficient expertise to go back and start from the most basic magic, disassembling, reconstructing, and deducing it one by one.

From level one to higher levels, each step is refined and perfected.

This requires not only amazing knowledge and patience, but also the support of massive resources and complete inheritance.

Therefore, apart from powerful wizards with deep foundations and influential backgrounds, others, such as rogue cultivators like Lynn, have no access to such systematic wizarding achievements.

“I remember… Maple Tree also possesses a set of combination magic.”

Lynn recalled the scene he had encountered in the [Landscape] countless years ago, and murmured to himself.

Moreover, that move was far more exaggerated than Tina's.

It not only covers the formal wizarding stage, but even the spells of the Morning Star wizarding stage are included in the composite structure.

After the spirit of the Azure Sky has been fully nourished and the maple tree has truly awakened...

We need to find a way to extract some knowledge or skills from him.

The thought flashed through my mind.

Lynn quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts and turned his attention back to the battlefield.

Having lost her physical body, Tina needed to conserve her strength, so she didn't use rule-level witchcraft. Instead, she performed a combination of witchcraft more like a show of skill.

But he was different.

Lynn has neither the need to conserve power nor the ability to combine magic.

Therefore, he directly chose the simplest and most ruthless method.

The power of rules.

"Become nourishment for the world..."

Lynn snapped his fingers lightly.

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled.

Space was torn open by some irresistible force, creating a huge rift.

Deep within the crevice, a massive, chilling tree shadow slowly emerged.

It blots out the sky, as if it holds a whole world within it.

The canopy spreads out, layering and extending like a nebula; countless branches extend in all directions, and between their veins flows a rich, almost tangible, life force.

Each branch is like a pulsating river of life.

It contains endless vitality.

This is Lynn's extraordinary plant, the World Tree.

The moment the World Tree descended, one rule of "creation" after another quietly unfolded.

They made no roaring noises, no flashes of light, and no exaggerated phenomena; they simply flowed naturally from the very existence of the World Tree, like an invisible tide, instantly filling the entire area.

The moment the rules were set in motion, the target was locked onto: the still-unformed phantom of the temple, as well as key figures such as the saintess and the old bishop.

Compared to Tina's previous almost showy attacks: layers of energy piled up, petals, azure, and star winds intertwined to form a magnificent yet deadly killing array...

Lynn's method was simple to the point of being brutal.

The next moment, the enormous phantom of the World Tree vanished without warning.

Along with them disappeared the saintess, the old bishop, and the phantom of the temple that was about to descend.

There was no explosion, no collapse, not even a ripple of energy was left behind.

It's like being gently erased from the canvas by an invisible hand using an eraser.

Clean and thorough, as if they had never existed.

"hiss……"

Amidst the vast expanse of the sky, gasps of astonishment rose and fell.

This scene is more horrifying than any bloody massacre.

That was a figure second only to the gods, a true pillar of the temple!

But there was no struggle, no screams, and not even a "death" process.

That's it.

In an instant, the millions of soldiers fell into dead silence.

The priests, bishops, and other priests were ashen-faced; the Earth-level, Heaven-level, and Legendary-level knights seemed to have had their spines removed, their faces as white as paper.

They instinctively looked up, staring intently at the crack in the sky that was not yet fully closed, with only one thought in their minds.

Will the next blow land on my head?
however.

The anticipated destruction did not come.

Above the sky, the torn crack began to slowly close, like a wound healing, gradually returning to its original state.

No new breath arrived, no second rule was decreed.

Lynn and Tina only attacked through the Star Gate and did not intend to actually set foot in this plane.

The full-scale war has not yet begun.

They had no interest in wasting time on the place; after swatting a few annoying flies, the two returned directly to the wizarding world.

But while millions of soldiers below remained trapped in confusion and fear...

The clarion call for a counterattack suddenly sounded!

Lynn's army of wizards and alchemists launched an attack simultaneously, their roar shaking the heavens.

The magic stone cannon roared round after round, unleashing a torrential downpour of flames, lightning, and ice.

The space carrier patrolled high in the sky, its massive shadow looming overhead, its magical orbit flashing, and precise beams of light descending from the heavens.

The alchemist army's totem beasts roared as they charged forward; griffins, giant bears, fire dragons, ice wolves... thousands upon thousands of phantoms swept across the sky, tearing apart the enemy ranks.

The scene where Lynn and Tina attacked each other from a distance gave their team an almost explosive boost to morale.

The wizards and alchemists were filled with fighting spirit and boiling bloodlust.

On the other hand, the millions of troops besieging the Principality of Bulma were already terrified.

With one side increasing and the other decreasing, the outcome was no longer in doubt; the battle lines collapsed instantly, and the army was routed. (End of Chapter)
