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

Outside the Hall of Life, waves of power of rules surged forth like a tide, recklessly breaching the outer array of the hall and rushing deeper into its depths.

Although the Temple of Life was the domain of Lynn, the Morning Star wizard, he never truly invested many resources in it from beginning to end.

The protective array, the wizard tower, and even the quiet room for daily practice are all far from meeting the standards required for the Morning Star level.

It can barely defend against low-level wizards, but it's practically useless against a true Morning Star attack.

Generally speaking, no one will voluntarily extend the power of rules into someone else's sphere of influence.

That would be tantamount to a blatant declaration of hostility.

But now, the massive forces of external rules are like a flood bursting its banks, relentlessly invading...

It was obvious that a Morning Star Wizard had descended.

Moreover, the visitor is not friendly.

It points directly to the temple of life.

Or more accurately, it was aimed directly at Lynn.

With the Lord of Life in tow, Lynn continued his journey without stopping, heading straight for the outside of the hall.

At the same time, he used his mental power to transmit a message to Helen, the Great Wizard, and the others, his voice calm yet undeniable:
"No need to panic, everyone stay at your posts."

After all, it would be useless for those formal wizards who were not even at level four to panic; it would only increase the chaos.

At this moment, outside the temple of life, the boundless plains are silent in the night.

The bright moon hangs high, the stars are dazzling, and the silvery light falls on the earth, yet it reflects a chilling and desolate atmosphere.

Two figures stood suspended in mid-air.

The one at the front was surrounded by a raging torrent of power, as he spread his power into the Hall of Life, carrying undisguised hostility and oppression.

The person behind them deliberately kept a distance, as if trying to distance themselves or waiting for the right opportunity.

call out!
A flash of light, and Lynn and the Lord of Life suddenly appeared in the sky above the plain.

His gaze swept over the two men, and his eyes suddenly sharpened.

I recognized him.

Both figures had deep ties to him, both originating from the Stone of the Furnace.

The one in front, with the strongest killing intent, is Aquila.

The one behind him is an old acquaintance, Sirius.

In fact, this is not the first time Sirius has come looking for trouble.

Last time, he accepted a reward from Aquila to try and capture Lynn.

But when Lynn raised the banner of Hercules, Sirius thought it over and decided it wasn't worth risking his life for Aquila, so he retreated in a huff.

Now, Sirius has made a comeback, and even arrived together with Aquila.

The night wind swept across the plain, rustling the hem of Lynn's robe.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calm as still water, yet carrying a hint of coldness.

Could it be that today, he is going to face off against these two renowned constellation wizards of the Forgestone?
Sirius was the first to notice the fleeting fighting spirit in his eyes, and before Aquila could speak, he chuckled and broke the silence.

Sirius was a thin, middle-aged man with a tall stature. A black wizard's robe looked particularly large on him, like an ill-fitting sack.

His nickname is "Greedy Wolf," and he never acts without a profit motive, always prioritizing self-interest in his actions.

He came here today not for personal revenge, but to fulfill a dual mission from the Wizarding Council and the Forgestone.

Therefore, he was absolutely unwilling to provoke Lynn, the Morning Star wizard, through official business, and spoke with a somewhat amicable tone:

"Wizard Qinglin, the reason why Aquila and I are here today is to accept a mission from the Wizard Council in Nightmare Rift."

"According to some intelligence, there seem to be traces of the wind spirit race here... And since the wind spirits are entangled with the Meteor Council, the council specially sent the two of us here to take a look and investigate."

He chuckled, and although he was a level 5 perfected Morning Star Wizard, his tone showed no disdain for Lynn, a newly promoted level 4 wizard.

After all, when he came last time, he knew that Hercules seemed to be willing to protect this Green Forest Wizard.

It's better to resolve conflicts than to create them, especially for someone like him who believes in "harmony brings wealth" and is most unwilling to make enemies for no reason.

Upon hearing this, Lynn nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Sirius adopted a very proper attitude and gave a watertight explanation, deliberately distancing itself from Aquila, clearly wanting to sever ties and simply go through the motions.

The real trouble, from the very beginning, only lay with Aquila.

Lynn's gaze slowly shifted over.

Aquila is also a level 5 perfected Morning Star Wizard, wrapped in a thick wizard's robe, with a sinister face, a high-bridged hooked nose, and eyes as sharp as an eagle's, fixed on Lynn, his killing intent and hostility undisguised, like two poisoned arrows ready to pierce at any moment.

The night was as dark as ink, so thick it was impossible to see through.

The bright moon hangs high, its silvery light spilling across the boundless plain, only to be distorted into a morbid, pale white by some colder, more rudimentary force of law.

The stars seemed to shrink back, twinkling in the distance like countless terrified eyes.

The Aquila constellation hovered in front, its surrounding power of rules no longer a simple "wave," but a living, raging torrent!

Layer upon layer of silvery-gray light surged like giant waves forged from countless sharp blades, crashing against the void with a roar. Each rise and fall tore through space, producing a low, cracking sound.

Even before Lynn appeared, he had already revealed his malice, pouring this power of rules into the Temple of Life like a venomous snake, wantonly probing and disregarding Lynn.

Now that Lynn has appeared, he not only did not restrain himself, but instead sneered, and his power of rules increased instead of decreasing!

Rumble!
In an instant, the power of rules within Aquila went completely berserk!

The silver-gray light instantly solidified into a majestic mountain, its body constructed from countless twisted rule runes. Each rune shimmered with cold malice, as if bearing the concepts of "judgment," "deprivation," and "eternal pursuit."

The spiritual power then amplified, transforming into an invisible hammer that slammed down on Lynn's head!

The oppressive atmosphere was palpable; the vegetation on the plains withered instantly, the air distorted, and even the moonlight trembled.

This was not a simple attack, but a crushing blow from the rules of a level 5 Morning Star Perfection cultivator, carrying the hatred of "I will never be able to rise again!"

Lynn's eyes turned cold; she was prepared.

He let out a low hum, and the power of external rules surged forth like a tide.

Although he was only a newly promoted Morning Star, after a century of arduous cultivation, his fourth-level realm had been completely perfected, so the power of the rules that emerged at this moment was by no means weak. One after another, emerald green but sharp light blades, carrying the rhythm of "life," "rebirth," and "backlash," layered upon layer, forming a transparent yet indestructible barrier in front of him.

boom!
The two forces of law collided suddenly in mid-air!
There was no dazzling explosion, only pure, unadulterated crushing and devouring by the rules.

The giant mountain rules of Aquila were like Mount Tai pressing down, layer upon layer, trying to crush Lynn into dust.
Lynn's verdant light blade, however, was like countless new shoots, growing wildly, entwining, and turning against him.

Each time it is crushed, it is immediately reborn in the cracks of the rules, retaliating with even greater resilience and malice!

Neither side was truly going all out.

The Aquila's trip was ostensibly "on official business," but it turned out to be an assassination of members of the Wizarding Council.
That would be digging your own grave, and the Forgestone and the Council would hunt you down relentlessly afterward.

He was just testing the waters, a test fueled by old grudges.

He still remembers how the greatest achievement of the landscape project was stolen right under his nose by this young man!
If all those opportunities had fallen into his hands, he would probably have already reached level six, and the Morning Star Realm would be within his grasp!

Hatred, like poison, had long since seeped into his very bones.

And Lynn, too, was filled with murderous intent.
Within the landscape, there are also numerous treasures related to the "Qi" civilization!

He made a pact with "Qi" and vowed to pass on its civilization.

He should get back those fragments that were touched by Aquila, both morally and logically!
At this moment, the aftershocks of the collision of rules raged like a storm over the plains.

One is Lynn, the "Greenwood Wizard" who was unknown and entered the Morning Star realm in less than a century;
The other is the renowned Aquila, a fifth-level perfected being in the Southern Region, with profound knowledge and skills!
A clash of titans.

The moment the forces of law intertwined and collided, the entire night sky seemed to come alive, its deep roar like that of an ancient behemoth awakening.

Although it was just a clash of the purest rules, without any fancy elemental storms, it still unleashed a devastating aftershock at the core of the collision.

Silver-gray fragments of judgment and verdant pieces of life scattered and flew everywhere, crashing onto the plains like a meteor shower. Every ripple carried the extreme concepts of "deprivation" and "rebirth," tearing at space and distorting light.

Even more terrifying is that these aftershocks, like a tidal wave, spread towards the temple of life behind it.

If Lynn is distracted and tries to stop him, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the clash of rules and expose his weaknesses;
If left unattended, the "shabby" palace he built with his own hands will likely be eroded into ruins by the rules in an instant, its foundation destroyed.

Fortunately... there is a third Morning Star in the field.

Sirius, the old fox whom the Southern Wizards privately jokingly called "the greedy wolf who won't get up early for nothing," should have stood with his hands behind his back, watching the show with a detached, indifferent attitude.

But when he truly understood the situation, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The newly promoted Qinglin Wizard, who is only a hundred years old, actually fought against the fifth-level perfected Aquila with a 40/60 split... no, it even seemed to be a 50/50 split!
The verdant rules, like wildly growing vines, were far more resilient and ruthless than what a typical newly promoted Morning Star should be.

"Tsk...this kid is somewhat like those legendary monster geniuses," Sirius thought to himself.

"That old thing, Aquila, has provoked such a troublesome fellow; he's probably going to have a lot of headaches coming up..."

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he suddenly remembered the last time he came here, he had accepted a commission from the Aquila constellation and rushed over to capture someone, only to be turned away by Lynn casually tossing out the "Hercules" banner.

Looking back, not only did I not get paid for that job, but I also inexplicably offended a promising new star.

"That damn Aquila constellation, it screwed me over..."

Sirius gritted his teeth, but a meaningful, cold smile appeared on his face.

The next instant, he flicked his sleeve.

Under the moonlight, a long and deep wolf howl suddenly rang out!

"Whoosh!!!"

A sudden chill swept through the world.

The silvery moonlight seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, pouring down wildly.

In mid-air, a colossal shadow slowly solidified. It was a giant wolf, pure white, over a hundred meters tall, with fur like solidified frost and snow, shimmering with a cold silver light under the moonlight. Each hair tip looked like it was forged from an ice blade.

It held its head high, its icy blue eyes as deep as a bottomless abyss, its fangs menacing, and its breath instantly turned into a flurry of snowflakes, dragging the temperature within a radius of several miles to the extreme freezing point!
Silver Moon Snow Wolf King, the true form of a level-five extreme cold bloodline fused with Sirius!
His bloodline power was so strong that it almost defied common sense, making him worthy of the title "King Under the Moon".

The moment the giant wolf appeared, a flash of moonlight appeared, and its massive body traversed the void, directly appearing behind Lynn and blocking the Temple of Life.

"Ow!!!"

With a deafening roar, the Silver Moon Snow Wolf King opened its mouth and spat out a dazzling barrier of frost!

The barrier, like a flowing galaxy of ice, layer upon layer, devoured, froze, and neutralized all the rampant aftershocks of the rules.

The originally grotesque and twisted silver-gray fragments cracked upon touching the ice screen, instantly turning into crystalline ice dust that drifted into the night sky.

On the plains, the wind and snow howled, and the moonlight was even colder.

Lynn glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, a slight smile playing on her lips, but she didn't say anything.

Sirius hovered in the distance with his hands behind his back, his lazy voice carrying a hint of mockery:

"The two of you may be competing, but please don't let it affect others... We are here representing the Wizarding Council after all. If the aftermath of the rules kills a group of formal wizards, that would be completely unreasonable..."

Lynn was well aware of Sirius's overtures, while Aquila, who was confronting him, was furious.

Sirius, that old fox, seeing that he couldn't win over this new Morning Star anytime soon, actually turned against him and tried to curry favor with him.
Moreover, he spoke in such a grand and dignified manner that Aquila could not refute him.

Unfortunately, although Aquila was furious, the situation remained tense.

Aquila initially only used the power of a level four perfection, but found that it could only go toe-to-toe with this newly promoted Morning Star.

His power then continued to increase until he reached level five, barely managing to achieve a 60/40 split. If he continued to increase his power, he would eventually unleash his full strength.

While it would certainly completely overshadow this newly promoted Morning Star Green Forest Wizard, in doing so would actually make him lose face.

After all, they couldn't just kill this rising star directly. To act impulsively and overpower the opponent would not only fail to earn them any good reputation, but would also become fodder for gossip...

Especially since this trip is being accompanied by Sirius, a person with absolutely no moral compass...

Aquila had no doubt that Sirius would package everything that happened today into intelligence and sell it; that was the kind of person he was.

The rules of the two Morning Star wizards clashed. Although Aquila had an edge over Lynn, it couldn't directly suppress this newly promoted Morning Star. Continuing the stalemate was pointless.

Sirius, who was standing nearby, also saw everything clearly and spoke up at the right moment, interrupting the standoff between the two:

"Haha, Wizard Qinglin is truly a young talent. He has only been a Morning Star councilor for a short time, yet he has already competed with veteran Morning Stars like Aquila. His future is probably limitless..."

"Although the two Morning Star Wizards are eager to test their skills and have a friendly spar, our purpose in coming here today is, after all, a commission from the Council. Therefore, we would like to ask Wizard Qinglin to do us a favor..."

Sirius laughed heartily, showering him with both sweet and harsh words, while Lynn and Aquila could only take this opportunity to withdraw their attacks and stand still. (End of Chapter)
