Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 831 Comet Gate and Life Stealing Sphere: Ultimate Magic

Once he had a set of coordinates, Locke immediately summoned his mount, the Rainbow Sparrow, and a rainbow in the shape of a peacock appeared in the sky.

The rainbow finches are simply a special type of weather creature created by weathermen that can interact with the outside world. They are neither living beings nor mechanical entities, but they are very similar to a car.

Just as wizards can increase the Rainbow Finch's movement speed by infusing it with their magic, the Narwhal has the same function.

At this moment, Locke's magical pressure continued to rise, and a full moon fell from the sky to the earth behind him. At the same time, a slender sword shaped like a Buddha's flame appeared in his hand.

Locke inserted Banxia into the Rainbow Bird at his feet, and instantly the Rainbow Bird burst into flames, like an immortal bird reborn from the ashes.

Jin Yuntao's magic flowed through Banxia and into Hongque, transforming into golden clouds beneath Hongque.

Locke headed straight for the target's location.

At that moment, Trajan's clone, who was presiding over affairs at the Temple of Truth on the main mountain of Mount Corona, looked up, glanced at the sky in astonishment, and revealed a strange expression.

"Who offended Junior Brother?"

"My junior brother's personality is just as irritable as mine when I was young."

Trajan glanced at the two golden clouds of the rainbow bird at Locke's feet.

"Golden Cloud Peach can reduce the energy dissipation of extreme magic and increase the movement speed of various spells. However, Junior Brother spent too little time at my Golden Crown Mountain and obtained too few Golden Cloud Peaches."

"The more Golden Cloud Peaches you eat, the greater the blessing you receive. How can just one or two be enough? If it were a few years ago, when I had fewer students, I would have directly given this junior brother, who is to my liking, a few Golden Cloud Peaches."

“Not now. I have more students now. I need to consider the interests of my students.”

At that moment, a comet gate suddenly appeared in front of the rainbow sparrow beneath Locke's feet, and Locke disappeared through the comet gate.

Trajan the wizard was slightly taken aback.

"The Comet Gate, although it's only a second-ring magical artifact, it's still quite attractive even to a Sun Ring Wizard. How could he possibly possess such a valuable and rare magical artifact?"

In the second stage, only a few magical artifacts can be imbued with great magic, and each of these artifacts is a legacy artifact that can be passed down.

The Comet Gate is one of the few magical artifacts that can be imbued with immense magic.

This is the reward Locke received after completing the fourth Heavenly Ladder of the Feathered Serpent Pavilion.

At this moment, Locke passed through the magical gate that resembled a comet, and about ten minutes later, he appeared in a place ten thousand kilometers away.

Ten thousand kilometers away, in the Jinmianshan region, lies the capital of a mortal empire.

At this moment, all the mortals in the capital of the entire mortal empire, whether nobles, commoners, or the mortal king of this region, all showed expressions of terror, because four six-eyed, six-winged vampire demon gods had appeared in the sky above the capital city.

It was as if a deep-seated vampire demon god from the depths of the Blood River Plane had appeared in the city of this mortal world, causing many nobles and commoners to even suspect that the world was about to end.

With the arrival of the four vampire demons, the surrounding sky turned blood red, deep and oppressive. Many mortals were bitten by some unknown animal and then turned into some kind of vampire servants.

They were transformed into spellcasting materials for the four vampire demon gods.

Inside the Imperial Palace in the capital, the second-class wizard apprentice stationed at the Hall of Eternal Radiance, who was also the headmaster of a secondary academy here, looked up at the sky in utter terror.

The heavily pregnant emperor turned to the academy head for help, "My lord wizard, if this continues, all the people in my country will die. Please do something for them! You are a wizard, and they are wizards too. You must have a way to save my country."

The dean wore a look of fear and a bitter smile.

Tube?
How does he manage it?
Those are four second-circle wizards; the aftershocks of their battle alone would be enough to kill him.

No, just getting too close was enough for the demonic pressure to collapse his soul structure.

Although the mortal emperor beside him might think he was better able to handle the situation and knew more about what was happening above, he was wrong.

Actually, he was completely bewildered.

All he could do was use a special magical artifact to inform the higher-ups at the Hall of Eternal Radiance about the situation and hope that the Hall of Eternal Radiance would send a second-circle wizard over as soon as possible.

After all, this human empire—the Crimson Stone Empire—is an important talent gathering place for the Hall of Eternal Radiance, with three intermediate academies and twenty-one elementary academies.

Moreover, this mortal nation possesses unique mineral resources, namely Crimson Stone ore. The Hall of Eternal Radiance has established a dedicated mine here and employs mortals to mine the ore for them.

At this moment, this second-class wizard apprentice could invoke at least a dozen wizarding laws from the White Wizarding Association to demonstrate that this mortal nation was a member of the Everbright Hall's affiliated mortal nations, and to tell the four second-ring wizards that this place was the private property of their Everbright Hall, and that every mortal in this mortal nation was under the protection of the Everbright Hall.

But he didn't dare to say.

He feared that the god-like and demonic beings fighting in the skies above the capital would punish him.

At this moment, among the four wizards with the bodies of vampire demon gods above the capital, three were second-circle wizards from the Blood Demon Palace of the Pale Pilgrimage, and their magic pressure was 15,000. One of them was Hussein, whose magic pressure was only a little over 10,000.

They all had six eyes and six wings, while Hussein had six eyes, six arms, and six wings.

The four's greatest magic was in the form of this vampire demon god. They threw punches and kicks at each other, each blow landing with a visceral impact, making the air groan and the earth groan with every strike.

The three pale-faced pilgrims were surprised to find that although Hussein's magical pressure was low, he held his own against their combined attack.

All three of them were direct descendants of the progenitor wizard, and strictly speaking, they should have been more powerful than this half-baked vampire, but the reality was the opposite.

The three exchanged glances, indicating that the transformation ritual used by Hussein was superior to theirs.

This resulted in Hussein having a base magic pressure 5,000 lower than them and being the only one of them, but because his vampire conversion ritual was well-constructed, his instantaneous magic pressure amplification for his ultimate magic was higher than theirs, and his energy dissipation was lower.

That's why this strange situation occurred.

While for most wizards, their magic pressure and the level of mastery of ultimate magic are directly proportional, this only applies when two wizards have similar aptitude.

There are only two possibilities in the current situation.

Either Hussein's talent far surpasses theirs, or the vampire magic he possesses is superior to theirs.

Hussein came from humble origins, being born into a lower-ranking wizarding family.

In other words, his first transformation ceremony would definitely not be too advanced, and the transformation progress would be absolutely incomparable to that of the direct descendants of these ancestral wizards.

The problem must lie in the secondary transformation ceremony he himself held.

That is, during the period of constructing the Great Magic, in a medium-sized world, at the moment of obtaining the World Stone and becoming the world's representative, a second transformation ritual is performed to transform oneself into a "Life Stealer" in that world.

Ordinary life gradually declines and dies in the torrent of life, and then welcomes new life.

However, as long as the second transformation ceremony is held, one can become the one who steals the flow of life and time, the one who steals life in that world, and the one who steals life, and obtain the identity of a vampire marquis in that world!
Their progenitor lineage of wizards possesses a permanent defensive force field that transforms into a vampire blood curse, while their ultimate magic is the [Life Stealing Ritual - Ultimate Magic].

In other words, the true nature of these vampire wizards' immense magic is an identity obtained through the Life Stealing Ritual, and the existence of this identity is confirmed through a series of rituals, including the Life Stealing Ritual, that took place in that world.

In that world, the identity of a vampire grand marquis obtained through the Life Stealing Instrument will be superimposed on the permanent defensive force field shell of the wizard world's main body, transforming into the body of a vampire demon god.

It is also known as the Blood Ancestor's Body.

It can be said that the reason why the wizards of the progenitor wizard lineage are so powerful is because the progenitor wizards created a system that resonates with great magic and a permanent defensive force field to form the Blood Ancestor Body.

This resulted in the students of these progenitor wizards possessing powerful melee combat abilities, regenerative abilities, immortality, and even lifespans exceeding those of ordinary second-ring wizards.

Because they can extend their lifespan by absorbing the life of beings in that medium-sized world, as well as the life of lower-ranking vampires of their own lineage.

Of course, as a trade-off, vampires are naturally restrained by sunlight and some natural forces.

This is because of a design flaw left over from when the Primordial Wizard constructed the [Great Magic - Permanent Defensive Force Field Shell Linkage System], which caused it to be rejected by natural forces.

In order to enhance the vampires' immortality, a series of reactions occurred, resulting in a situation where sunlight and certain magical plants in the world where they held their rituals could kill them more easily.

At this moment, the three pale-faced pilgrims exchanged glances, all feeling the pressure.

At the same time, his eyes revealed a deep sense of incomprehension.

Vampire wizards have two serious forms of worship: the first is the worship of antiquity, and the second is the worship of bloodlines.

This is for a reason.

The Stealing Life Ritual requires the use of the bloodline power of a high-ranking being to elevate one's own status, thus enabling the [Reversal of Life] to steal the life force of that world.

The stronger the ancient bloodline power used in the ritual, the higher the foundation of a vampire wizard's ultimate magic.

Secondly, the Stealing Life Ritual must be repeated every ten years in that world to strengthen the existence of the ritual itself. At the same time, in this process, the vampire wizards will increase their magical power by sacrificing high-level bloodlines.

Once the rituals cease, the rituals themselves may be forgotten or decline. If this happens, vampire wizards will gradually decline, and it may even lead to the collapse of great magic.

Of course, only the first attempt at stealing life from the heavens is the most complex and requires the most resources.

Each subsequent ceremony was simply a simplified version.

The reason why vampire wizards have bloodline worship and ancient worship is because the longer a vampire wizard lives, the more times they repeat the Life Stealing Ritual every ten years, the larger the scale of their ultimate magic, and the higher their total magical pressure.

If they were to hunt down the bloodlines of high-level magical creatures from the wizarding world and incorporate them into the ritual.

Their magical pressure will also increase during the ten-year reincarnation ritual.

This means that vampire wizards who can obtain more advanced bloodlines, or those who initially use higher-level bloodlines and live longer, will naturally be more powerful.

Therefore, the Blood Demon Palace of the Pale Pilgrimage itself has these two major cults.

But at this moment, a look of doubt appeared in the eyes of the three of them.

What merit or ability does Hussein possess?

Is he a direct descendant of the noble progenitor wizard, one of the six great clans?

Was he one of the seven clans descended from the seven students of the ancestral wizard?

He is nothing.

To put it bluntly.

Given Hussein's background, he wasn't even worthy of being a blood slave for noble clans like those in the Pale Pilgrimage. He was only fit to be a blood slave for weaker clans that had branched out during historical changes.

Did Hussein live long?

No, he probably never performed the second "Stealing Life Ritual".

The essence of the vampire wizard's ultimate magic is this ritual. This ritual is constantly performed in that world, tracing the life force of that world, stealing its power, and at the same time bringing a new undead race to that world. This is how the Ritual of Life Stealing works.

So why is it that such a young person with low bloodline and lower demonic pressure than them can fight against three of them single-handedly?

Among the three, a vampire wizard sneered, "Hussein, you can't escape. You are the blood bag of the progenitor wizard. Now come back with us. Otherwise, wait for us to tear off your limbs and take you back."

Another vampire wizard seemed incredulous that Hussein could actually resist them, and threw a punch at Hussein in shock, only to have it caught by Hussein's two enormous hands. Hussein then lifted him up and threw him behind him.

The vampire wizard was extremely frustrated.

"It's just a low-level blood pack from a lower-level wizarding land, yet something like this happened."

He himself was slammed heavily onto a mountain, his Blood Ancestor body crushing the mountain.

The other two vampire wizards immediately extended their blood claws at him. The claws were wrapped with an extremely terrifying blood explosion curse. If an ordinary life form was hit by this curse, its blood and qi would flow backward and then explode.

Hussein had no choice but to back down.

'Fighting these guys, even if I could win, I'd be severely injured. If I'm severely injured, my growth would be seriously hampered. Otherwise, I could just kill these three outright. The challenge is to kill them as without taking any damage as possible.'

'These fools have no idea how the Life Stealing Instrument is truly used. They think it's just a ritual to create vampires, reverse life, and steal the world's power.'

Hussein shook his head slightly. It seemed that most of the vampire wizards left behind by the progenitor wizard and his students were now just good-for-nothings.

Hussein observed the situation. As a dark wizard from the Blood Curse Court, he was an opportunist. Although he was helpless at the moment, he was observing all the current events and trying to find an opportunity to turn the tide.

For him, the so-called "adverse wind" meant killing three second-circle wizards with higher magic pressure than him without being able to guarantee that he would not be injured.

The three second-circle wizards seemed to have lost their patience. The next moment, they were enveloped in blood magic and simultaneously used the Life Stealing Ritual on the beings of the worlds where their respective great magic resided. They forcibly performed a ritual to absorb the energy of the life forms in the three medium-sized worlds and transfer it to themselves.

Instantly, the bodies of the three second-ring wizards swelled up.

Only the upper body swelled up, while the strange thing was that the lower body remained the same size.

Their upper bodies were at least three times their original size, which caused their bodies to transform into something like a snake king, standing upright and swaying in place, wielding their power.

Throughout the capital of the mortal empire, many mortals were horrified to discover that the blood within their bodies was uncontrollably flowing towards the three vampire demon gods.

Three pale, second-circle wizards on a pilgrimage bared their fangs.

“We’re losing patience, Hussein. You can’t escape.”

"Kill him quickly. Otherwise, things will get complicated when the second-ring wizards from the Hall of Eternal Radiance arrive. Anyway, he's a blood bag of the progenitor wizard, and he's a second-ring progenitor wizard. He has great vitality, so even if we kill him by force, he shouldn't be completely dead."

As Hussein frowned at the mountains of blood and the three deformed demon gods, a beam of bright moonlight suddenly fell from the sky amidst the bloody storm and chaotic magic.

Screams, fear, and unease seemed to freeze in the moonlight for a moment.

A sense of tranquility settled over everyone.

Hussein sensed the familiar magical pressure.

"He actually came."

Hussein's expression was strange.

He never felt any care from his so-called comrades in the Blood Curse Tribunal; all he felt was deception and betrayal.

At Mithril Law Firm, he encountered clients who came with various legal disputes, as well as lawyers who were equally scheming and manipulative.

It can be said that, apart from the time he spent at Lilith's Hut, he spent the rest of his life constantly encountering the evil in human nature.

At this moment, Locke helped him twice. Although there were many self-interests involved, it made Hussein realize for the first time that Locke was a reliable friend.

The three vampire wizards immediately looked up and roared.

"Who is it?"

"Who dares to interfere in the internal affairs of the Pale Pilgrimage?"

"This matter has nothing to do with irrelevant people. Once we have hunted down this traitor of the Pale Pilgrimage, we will withdraw on our own."

An arched moon gate appeared in the sky, with latticework panels in the middle of the gate, decorated with plum blossom, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum patterns, elegant and refreshing.

The partition door gradually moved away, like the change from a crescent moon to a full moon.

Then, the partition disappeared, revealing a full moon behind the moon gate.

Then, the moon gate also disappeared.

This is the Moon of Evolution, which comes from thousands of miles away.

Locke appeared under the moonlight, looking at his semi-transparent body.

"Hmm? This isn't space travel, but rather a rapid traversal on a spiritual level using the comet's spiritual energy. It seems to only work within a wizard's land and cannot cross natural barriers."

"It takes about a minute and can accelerate travel by a thousand kilometers. But it's only really suitable for traveling within a wizarding land or a colony world, since the way the Comet Gate travels isn't teleportation."

"After I transmigrated here, my body was still in a state of spiritual dormancy, and it took about three minutes to get out of this state."

Then it's not suitable to use it in battle.

Even so, the Comet Gate greatly reduced the dissipation of its ultimate magic.

the reason is simple.

Because of the properties of the Comet Gate, one's own Evolution Moon can appear in a Wizarding Land or anywhere in the same world through the Comet Gate.

In addition, the Moon of Evolution can move using moonlight.

This resulted in the Comet Gate actually enhancing the omnipresent nature of the Evolutionary Moon.

This enhances the ability of the Evolutionary Moon to move using moonlight.

Locke even noticed that the ability of the Evolution Moon to reflect the past and present had been enhanced by the Comet Gate.

"Adding this comet gate to the ultimate spell took me quite a bit of time. After all, some spell models needed adjusting. Jin Yuntao's golden cloud can directly contain the Moon of Evolution, while magical artifacts are inanimate objects, not as flexible; only minor adjustments to the spell model are needed for compatibility."

Locke looked down at the three vampire wizards who looked like snake kings and frowned. However, he hadn't had three minutes and couldn't do anything except talk.

Locke stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing aura, looking down at the three vampire wizards.

"where is this place?"

Since we have to wait three minutes, we can't give them a chance to react.

The three vampire wizards were taken aback.

A vampire wizard said, "This is the Golden Crown Mountain region of the Cloud Marsh Wetlands. Is this second-ring wizard a senior researcher at Golden Crown Mountain?"

"But you're not a Witcher from the Golden Crown Mountain region, so why are you meddling in our business?"

Locke stood with his hands behind his back, looking at them.

"The Golden Crown Mountain region is my Golden Crown Mountain's backyard. Any dark wizard who sets foot here will be immediately killed by me, the Eye Demon Grand Wizard. Dark wizards are forbidden here. You have three minutes to leave now, and I will let bygones be bygones."

Because there was only one Hussein here who was a second-circle wizard, and he was also his friend; there was no one else.

So Locke directly opened the Beast Panel and enhanced his Three Thousand Magic Pressure.

The Comet Gate also increased its own magic pressure by 100.

In other words, his current magic pressure is 19,103!
Under the immense pressure of this powerful magic, the three dark wizards, whose confidence had already been shattered by Hussein, became completely disoriented.

A dark wizard asked, "Is this place off-limits to dark wizards?"

"Is the Jinmianshan District their backyard?"

"This guy is just too domineering!"

Seeing Locke's overbearing attitude, the other second-ring dark wizard wavered and hesitated.

"The Golden Crown Mountain region is so vast, does it all belong to them? They say any black wizard who sets foot there should be killed? This is too domineering. I don't believe it..."

Locke counted down the time, and just as the three dark wizards were shaken by his fear, three minutes were up!

Once Locke's body was out of his spiritual dormancy, he didn't bother with any more words and attacked directly. A large glass winter green plum with six branches and twelve flowers appeared in his hand, and he used the technique "One Tree Cannot Support".

Furthermore, the Evolution Moon uses the Moon Cultivation Method to enhance the Great Glazed Winter Green Plum.

He used a deadly move right away.

Each of the twelve plum blossoms was encircled by a ring of ice crystals, which enveloped the three second-ring dark wizards, gathering their magical power, freezing their bodies, and dormant their magic.

Under the blessing of the Evolution Moon, the Great Glazed Winter Green Plum Blossom seems to summon the winter when all things are dormant.

Heavy snow fell.

The sea of ​​blood froze.

Locke's forehead developed a tiger's eye, allowing him to see their weaknesses.

These three dark wizards possess worlds of medium scale, so I must force them into a world war against me!
