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

Wizardry training encompasses a wide variety of professions, including the most traditional elemental wizards: those specializing in fire, water, wind, and earth.

There are also bloodline wizards who study the path of bloodlines, or unique nature wizards like Lynn, and mechanical wizards like the Warhammer Master.

Each path has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to compare which is better or worse; the only question is whether it is suitable for one or the other.

Mechanicians like the Warhammer Master are now demonstrating the unique "advantages" of the mechanic class.

That is, in the case of severe injury, recovery is exceptionally simple.

For example, one of the Morning Star Wizards, who had undergone complete mechanization, rushed to the seventh floor to find usable and spare parts.

It only takes a little effort to replace or remove the damaged parts.

For example, there is a Morning Star Wizard who studies particle storms. He can restore a certain amount of combat power in the shortest time by simply making a fixed-point replacement.

A more traditional mechanical wizard like the Warhammer Master, who has neither undergone mechanization nor possesses small robots, but only wields a pair of warhammers, is considerably inferior in this respect.

But that's only relative to other mechanical wizards. If he finds a suitable energy source to recharge, it's not a problem for him to recover more than 30% of his combat power in a short time.

For elemental wizards or bloodline wizards, once they are seriously injured, they must use some top-tier treasures to recover quickly.

The modular design of mechanical wizards, which allows them to replace parts as they break, is something other wizards can only envy.

While the mechanical wizards were frantically searching for suitable parts and energy sources on the seventh floor to replace and restore the Tree of Ilo, Lynn was carrying out the final containment of the Tree of Ilo.

On the chaotic mechanical floor, mechanical rules spread rampantly. The Tree of Ilo, maintaining its tree-human form and standing hundreds of meters tall, knelt on the ground, its will silent.

Lynn stood on the uneven mechanical floor, his hands behind his back. A rule field that created rules existed outside his body, preventing him from being invaded by chaotic rules.

Behind him, the World Tree stood tall on the earth, its height no less than that of the Tree of Iro, also several hundred meters high, with golden and silver leaves swaying in unison on its canopy.

The roots of the World Tree extended out, bursting from the heavy mechanical floor and inserting into the kneeling body of the Tree of Ilo.

During this time, the gold and silver colors shone brilliantly, and the power of creation and the secret techniques of the Rogers family resonated with each other, with colorful patterns filling the space between the two behemoths, creating an exceptionally dreamlike scene.

Lynn took a deep breath and sensed the condition of the Tree of Iro by inserting the roots of the World Tree into the Tree of Iro's body.

"Aside from the rules governing life types, the combat rules of the Tree of Iro's own body seem quite fragile... Could it be that its understanding of combat rules is flawed?"

"No, that's not right! There's an even more terrifying force of rules binding those combat rules tightly!"

"Even while these rules suppressed the rules of combat, they also interfered with the effects of the rules of vitality!"

"No wonder! No wonder!"

After carefully considering the situation, Lynn suddenly realized why dealing with Ilo was much easier than he had imagined.

Without the Azure Sky Spirit as a finishing move, even with a group of crippled mechanical wizards assisting him, Lynn was prepared to go all out.

As a result, after the battle, there was no need to go all out. Relying on the Rogers family's secret techniques and the two methods of gold and silver leaves, they slowly wore down Ilo until he died...

"This sixth-level rule power... is a wind element type rule power... but I can't sense its specifics yet..."

Lynn murmured, this was the first time he had ever felt the power of a sixth-level Morning Star Wizard's rules so closely.

But he couldn't see anything, because the power of this rule had been depleted for a long time, and it was the wind element rule power that he was unfamiliar with.

With both factors combined, Lynn felt that the sixth-level Morning Star Wizard's power of rules was indeed extraordinary, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why...

"The three realms of a Morning Star Wizard represent the refinement of three laws of power... A level six Morning Star Wizard has reached the final step, with the three laws of power merging into one. The next step is to strive for the title of Radiant Moon King..."

Lynn was aware of this, but due to the lack of further content in his "Blue Sky Meditation Method," he was still unclear about what the more advanced details would look like.

But after sensing the sixth-level rules, he had a hunch.

After meeting with Lori and Lina, Lynn had already detected information about the so-called Lord Fletcher, also known as the Duke of Wind Shadow, in the aftershocks of the two women's minds.

Duke Windshadow, a top figure within the Wind Elf race, is a sixth-level Morning Star Wizard at his peak, reaching the Morning Star Realm, and is only one step away from becoming His Majesty the Radiant Moon!
Such a powerful figure seems to have chosen the element of wind as the governing force...

This made Lynn a little suspicious. Could it be that breaking through from the Morning Star Extreme Realm to the Radiant Moon Crown also requires a certain level of power of rules, rather than being able to choose it at will?
"If that's really the case... then I can't easily learn and comprehend the combat rules on Iro..."

Lynn frowned; this was indeed a problem for him.

After acquiring Yiluo, he only needs to continuously absorb the life force rules from the former and transform them into creation rules through rule-based secret techniques.

Then, by relying on the Azure Sky Spirit to rapidly increase his spiritual power, he is expected to break through to the late stage of level four or even the perfect level in a short period of time.

He had been thinking of using the combat rules on Ilo as a stepping stone to break through to the fifth level of Morning Star Wizard, but now that path is no longer viable.

"After all, I lack a lineage of inheritance, and working in isolation isn't a long-term solution... It seems I still have to rely on the maple tree... If the power of faith from the Lord of Life could be harvested quickly enough to recharge the Azure Sky Spirit and thus enhance the maple tree's healing effects..."

Thinking of this, Lynn shook his head and put it aside for the time being.

After all, he is only at the mid-stage of level four, and there is still a certain distance to go before reaching the late stage or perfection of level four, let alone breaking through to the level five Morning Star Wizard.

The most urgent task is to see what the situation has become within this nightmare rift valley.

He had basically accomplished his purpose this time: he destroyed his enemy, the mechanical puppet wizard, successfully obtained the Tree of Ilo, and even saved several of his old friends along the way.

Even if they simply leave and don't get involved in the aftermath of the Nightmare Rift, they've already made a profit.

Of course, they shouldn't run now. They are currently in a favorable position, the Meteor Council has not yet reacted, and a group of bigwigs from the Wizard Council are watching from the outside.

"Even if we have to run, we should wait until the situation becomes chaotic before we run..."

While Lynn was lost in thought, the World Tree had already completed its absorption of the Tree of Iro, and then transformed into a tiny tree shadow that entered Lynn's body.

At this moment, the protective array of the entire mechanical city suddenly dispersed. From the seventh floor downwards, the protective arrays of the sixth floor, the fifth floor... and even the energy layer all shut down simultaneously.

It was clearly not the Morning Star Wizards who attacked the Mechanical City from the outside world who did it; it must have been the work of the Warhammer Master and his group. Now that they've dealt with Ilo, it's time to reunite with the Morning Star Wizards from the outside world.

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

Within the Nightmare Rift, in the deep darkness, the arrays of the Mechanical City slowly dissipated, causing the Morning Star Wizards to pause slightly, unsure whether to continue casting the rule-based spells they had gathered. Fortunately, Master Warhammer and the others quickly sent a message to the outside world, proving their identities and recounting the situation within the Mechanical City and the story of the Green Forest Wizard to increase credibility.

Upon hearing the name "Green Forest Wizard," the Morning Star Wizards exchanged glances and chuckled coldly.

"It seems someone got ahead of us, entered this mechanical capital first, and reaped the biggest benefits..."

Eating alone is one thing, but sneaking in without giving them any warning and letting them waste so much time here is even worse.

"Damn it... I'm going in right now to have a good talk with that Green Forest Wizard!"

"Damn it, this guy must be a dark wizard, how shady!"

Several white wizards cursed and even started making sweeping generalizations, which made the black wizards nearby frown.

At that very moment, another message came from the mechanical city below:
"Everyone, radar has detected a high-energy object rapidly approaching! If it's not an ally of the Wizarding Council, then it must be the Meteor Council returning!"

"Please prepare for battle or return to the Mechanical City for now..."

As a heavyweight strategic weapon, the Mechanical City can still detect the situation within a certain distance around it, even though the Nightmare Rift is filled with the darkness of rules and ordinary Morning Star wizards' mental power cannot reach very far.

Upon hearing the news from the Mechanical City, a group of Morning Star Wizards' expressions changed, and they immediately prepared to land.

But at that moment, the eerie darkness around them surged in like waves, like shadowy figures attacking the many Morning Star Wizards.

The black wind howled fiercely, and even the Morning Star Wizard's Light of Rules was suppressed during this time!

"not good!"

The faces of the Morning Star Wizards changed drastically. If it had been a sneak attack by one or more people, they wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

But at this moment, it is the eerie darkness within the entire Nightmare Rift Valley that is wreaking havoc.

Even though they were Morning Star Wizards, they dared not say that they could withstand these strange and violent dark forces.

This is as difficult as an ordinary person navigating a small boat against a thunderstorm in the deep sea...

Fortunately, there was an enormous ship below that even thunderstorms couldn't touch!
Rumble!
After those mechanical wizards returned to the seventh floor and regained control of this behemoth!
One array after another was reactivated, starting from the energy layer, the first layer, the second layer, the third layer...

From bottom to top, up to the seventh floor, the protective array of the entire mechanical city is activated once again!
Unlike before, when the previous protective formation was already depleted of energy and appeared to have ripple-like gaps, the current protective formation is a seamless whole!
Clearly, the Mechanical City possesses hidden energy, but the Meteor Council has no idea about it and has no way to activate it!
Since Warhammer Master and others were high-ranking members of the Mechanical City, it was normal for them to know some of the secrets of the Mechanical City!

The deep core of the mechanical city has finally awakened completely after a new round of recharging.

The once dark and silent turret complex is now illuminated with a cold light, layer by layer, from the bottom up.

Click, click...

The crisp metallic clanging was as frequent as a heartbeat, and each exposed attack module was different:
At the very bottom is a classic laser matrix, with incandescent white beams cutting through the void;

An ion storm erupted from the middle layer, with blue-purple electric arcs dancing wildly like live snakes.
Above that are heavy cannons imbued with the power of rules, their muzzles twisted with spatial rifts, each shot accompanied by a low hum that seemed to tear apart cause and effect.

boom!
All gun barrels locked simultaneously.

In mid-air, the overwhelming dark wave surged in like a tidal wave, swallowing light, swallowing sound, swallowing everything that tried to resist.

But at this moment, countless rays of death surged upwards, piercing straight into the core of darkness.

Rumble!

The aftershocks of the explosion felt like a hammer blow to my eardrums.

More than a dozen Morning Star Wizards stood back to back, doing their utmost to support a shaky crystal ball barrier.

The power of rules wove a net around them, barely blocking the encroachment of darkness.

But that force was endless, like the tireless hand of the abyss, squeezing their defenses inch by inch.

Some people had blood seeping from the corners of their mouths, and some were beginning to show cracks in their mental state. If they held on for just a little longer, they might collapse completely.

At this critical moment, the mechanical city moved.

It truly and completely moved.

Flames shot into the sky, ion storms tore through the night, and the roar of the rule cannons echoed with distorted sounds, like countless planes wailing simultaneously.

The entire floating megacity transformed into an awakened steel behemoth, with tens of thousands of conventional cannons, thousands of high-level turrets, and hundreds of heavy artillery pieces...

All the firepower converged into a world-destroying torrent in that instant, crashing violently into the dark waves.

A huge gash was torn open in the darkness.

The trapped Morning Star wizards' eyes suddenly lit up.

Without hesitation, they rushed towards the mechanical capital with all their might.

Some people dragged along a half-crippled domain of rules, some simply burned their very essence to accelerate, and some even directly tore open space for short-distance jumps.

Behind them, darkness, like an enraged beast, surged back, attempting to engulf them once more.

A crack has appeared in the mechanical capital.

The edge of the crack shimmered with a blue protective force field, like the throat of a giant beast, precisely swallowing more than ten people in one gulp.

boom!
The moment the crack closed, a second wave of suppressive fire erupted.

This time it's even more thorough.

The entire mechanical city seemed to have transformed into a burning star.

Tens of thousands of cannons roared simultaneously, the energy beams of the high-level turrets intertwined into a net, and the bombardment of hundreds of rule-based heavy cannons directly tore open void black holes in the darkness.

The explosion was blindingly bright, sending heatwaves, shockwaves, and fragments of rules flying everywhere, forcefully pushing the dark tide back hundreds of miles. (End of Chapter)
