I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 177 Ancient One VS Dormammu!

The dimensional rift, this buffer zone between reality and illusion, presents a desolate and broken scene year-round.

The distorted spatial structure, like a broken mirror, reflects bizarre and fantastical afterimages, and no signs of life can be felt on the barren, scorched earth.

Ancient One and Wu Fengji stood side by side on the edge of this barren land, with a group of Kamar-Taj sorcerers led by the king behind them.

They gripped their magical artifacts tightly, maintaining a powerful protective array. The golden Seraphim Shield, like warm sunlight, temporarily dispelled the surrounding chill and unease.

Wu Fengji turned her gaze away from the chaotic scene in the distance and onto her old friend whom she had known for hundreds of years.

The Ancient One's aura was long and deep, but he still keenly sensed an indescribable weariness.

"Are you really going to retire?"

"Given your level of power, the limit of your lifespan is far from being reached."

Wu Fengji's voice broke the silence.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi's face revealed a serene smile, a smile that reflected the wisdom and understanding gained from experiencing countless things.

"It's definitely not a matter of lifespan."

"But if I continue down this path, I need to draw upon more power from the dark dimension, which will gradually lead me astray, causing me to stray from my original intention of protecting something. This is not the end point I'm pursuing. And—"

"I have felt the call of eternity."

He spoke slowly.

Wu Fengji nodded and did not try to persuade her further.

At their level, everyone clearly knows which path they should take.

The Ancient One chose annihilation; it was his destiny.

As long as the soul endures, perhaps in some corner of the universe, there will be a day when they meet again.

Just then, the Ancient One's originally peaceful gaze suddenly turned sharp. He slightly raised his head and looked into the depths of the dimensional rift.

"They're here."

As soon as the words were spoken, the chaotic boundary in the distance suddenly boiled over!

Two massive and corrosive energies violently rammed against the barriers of the real dimension.

Dimensional demons, residing in their home sphere, receive the blessing of the entire dimension, making them powerful enough to trouble even celestial beings at the level of a single universe.

Gu Yi slowly took a step forward, his aged yet still upright figure seemingly becoming the anchor of the real world.

His calm voice pierced through the clamor of energy, echoing clearly in the gaps.

"My two old friends, how have you been?"

The energy tide paused slightly, and then Mephisto's true demonic form, imbued with the aura of sulfur and deceit, manifested. It stood tall and imposing, its horns curved, and its scarlet eyes burning with hellfire.

Dormammu, the ruler of the dark dimension, did not display his usual magical fiery head at this moment. Instead, he revealed the human face of the powerful dark mage he was before his fall, a face filled with endless anger and resentment.

"The Ancient One!"

"It's you again! You're like a piece of rotten flesh that you can't get rid of, you're disgusting!"

Dormammu's roar nearly shattered the surrounding space.

Mephisto's face was equally grim. He chuckled in a low voice, "Sorcerer Supreme, your nose is always so sensitive. But this time, do you think you can turn us away so easily as before?"

Ancient One smiled calmly, her tone tinged with sarcasm: "You actually believe in Hades, a god who has even lost his own realm."

"I wonder who's the idiot!"

These words were like two poisonous thorns, piercing precisely into the hearts of Mephisto and Dormammu.

"That idiot!"

They both cursed in their hearts almost simultaneously.

Dormammu completely lost his patience, and the raging dark energy gathered in his hand into a giant sword that could tear through space.

"Ancient One! Stop with the empty talk! Even if we can't enter the real world today, I'll bury you completely in the dimensional rift!"

"Quite the boast!"

Before Gu Yi could respond, Wu Fengji, who was standing beside him, had already taken a step forward.

In an instant, a blazing light erupted from her body, and the immense energy of the Phoenix Force, intertwined with creation and destruction, resonated perfectly with the microcosm she had cultivated.

A dazzling constellation of Phoenixes unfolded behind her, transforming into a magnificent phoenix totem burning with endless flames!

"Chirp!"

A clear and majestic phoenix cry resounded through the dimensional rift, and its blazing light even temporarily suppressed the evil energy from hell and the dark dimension, illuminating this scorched land as if it were daytime.

"The power of the Phoenix?!"

"It's you! The Kunlun Goddess who scattered the Phoenix's power hundreds of years ago!"

Mephisto's crimson pupils suddenly contracted as he stared intently at Wu Fengji.

"It is my honor to be remembered by the infamous Lord of Hell."

Wu Fengji hovered in mid-air, her body surrounded by phoenix fire and cosmic energy, her aura rising steadily.

"The power known as the Cosmos—Pope, you truly are a tremendous variable!"

Looking at the familiar constellation totem and the power of the universe behind Wu Fengji, he realized that today's battle would be far more difficult than he had anticipated.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

"Ancient One, prepare to die!"

Dormammu roared, his accumulated power reaching its peak!

The energy in the dimensional rift has gone completely out of control!

Dormammu launched the first attack.

The Ancient One is the core of Kamar-Taj. Once the Ancient One is defeated, there will be plenty of time to plan the removal of the barrier in the real dimension.

He wielded the greatsword formed from pure dark energy, and the simple slashes carried the power to tear apart dimensional structures.

Wherever the sword passed, space was easily torn apart like cloth, leaving black cracks that could not be healed for a long time, from which came the wails of countless fallen souls.

Faced with a strike powerful enough to cleave stars in two, the Ancient One remained unmoved.

He drew mysterious trajectories with both hands in front of his chest, his movements fluid and precise.

A dazzling golden magic circle instantly unfolded before him, each circle composed of countless tiny Seraphin runes.

"boom!!!"

The dark greatsword slammed down on the golden magic circle, unleashing a deafening roar.

The energy surge spread outwards, further eroding the already fragile scorched earth by several meters.

The golden magical radiance and the pitch-black destructive energy annihilated each other.

"All you ever do is hide behind your shell, Ancient One!"

Dormammu roared, raising the dark greatsword once more. This time, a ghostly purple magical flame ignited on the blade—a dark fire capable of burning souls.

"idiot!"

Gu Yi responded calmly, while simultaneously pushing her hands forward forcefully.

The magic circle in front of him shone brightly, not only stabilizing the defense but also unleashing a highly concentrated bolt of Bosat lightning from its center.

The crimson lightning bolt, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, precisely bypassed the edge of the dark greatsword and pierced straight at Dormammu's manifested humanoid form.

Dormammu snorted coldly, and threw a punch with his free left hand. His fist was wrapped in endless dark power, and it collided fiercely with the lightning of Bosat.

The clash of two extreme forces triggered a violent explosion, turning the area between the two into a no-go zone of rampant energy.

"The secrets of the Sanctuary are no longer a secret to me!"

Dormammu laughed wildly, slashing down with his greatsword once more, while simultaneously drawing upon the primal power of the Dark Dimension.

In an instant, the sky over the entire dimensional rift darkened, and countless giant hands made of dark energy reached out from the void in all directions, grabbing at the Ancient One.

These dark hands possess a powerful corrosive and restrictive effect. They ignore most physical and energy defenses and act directly on the space itself, attempting to drag the Ancient One and this space into the dark dimension.

Gu Yi stumbled, his body seemingly losing its weight, weaving through the gaps between countless dark hands.

His movements appeared slow, yet he managed to dodge attacks with the slightest margin, as if he could predict the trajectory of every attack in advance.

With a series of flicks of his wrists, rings of Raghadore flew out, severing the approaching dark hand.

At the same time, he chanted incantations, and the sacred power of Vishanti was activated. A dazzling white light condensed in his hand into a huge lightsaber!

The Sword of Vishanti!

"cut!"

With a low shout, the Ancient One, wielding his lightsaber, charged towards Dormammu.

His figure appeared so small in the face of the immense dark energy, but the aura of holiness and order emanating from the lightsaber made Dormammu feel instinctively uncomfortable.

Sword light clashed with darkness once more!

The Ancient One's swordsmanship transcends the ordinary, combining Kamar-Taj's magical martial arts with her profound understanding of the rules of magic.

Each sword strike was exquisite, precisely targeting the weak points in Dormammu's energy flow, gradually weakening the raging dark energy.

Dormammu grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.

He discovered that even when he mobilized the power of the Dark Dimension, he was still suppressed by the Ancient One on a purely technical level.

The opponent's energy level was inferior to that of himself, who possessed the support of an entire dimension, but their efficiency and grasp of the battle opportunity reached an unbelievable level.

How did Gu Yi, a mere mortal, accumulate such combat experience?

Dormammu was furious and decided to hold back no longer.

Rumble!

The entire dimensional rift trembled violently, as if it could not withstand the arrival of the dark power.

Behind Dormammu, a massive black hole vortex slowly took shape.

That is the passage connecting to the origin of the dark dimension.

Endless dark energy, mixed with the remnants of devoured stars, transformed into a destructive torrent that surged toward the Ancient One!

"The Ancient One!"

"boom!"

While Wu Fengji was dealing with Mephisto, she felt this destructive power and forced Mephisto back with a punch carrying the power of the phoenix. She couldn't help but shout out.

The mages on the edge of the barrier of the real dimension turned pale. The Seraphim Shield they had been trying their best to maintain was swaying like a candle in the wind in the face of this torrent.

Faced with a blow powerful enough to annihilate even gods, the Ancient One's eyes remained calm and undisturbed.

He sheathed the sword of Vishandi, slowly clasped his hands together, and then began to move them with an extremely slow, yet mysterious, rhythm.

An extremely complex magic pattern was drawn at his fingertips.

This array pattern incorporates the Ancient One's understanding of magic accumulated over hundreds of years!

"Infinite Mirror Space!"

hum! !

Just as the dark torrent was about to engulf the Ancient One, countless prism-like spatial fragments appeared out of thin air centered on him and began to accumulate at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The surging torrent of darkness crashed headlong into countless nested mirror spaces.

Each mirror space is subjected to the impact of some dark energy and then collapses, but at the moment of collapse, a new mirror space is generated.

Destruction and rebirth formed a brief balance.

From the outside, the area where the Ancient One was located appeared to be an infinitely extending crystal maze.

The dark torrent unleashed by Dormammu was firmly trapped by this seemingly fragile labyrinth, unable to cross the line!

This is an almost instinctive application after reaching the ultimate understanding of spatial rules!

Dormammu stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

His attack, which mobilized the power of almost half a dimension, was actually neutralized by the opponent in this way?!

"Such a profound understanding of space, yet it came from the hand of a mere mortal!"

"Ancient One! You're a born magician!"

Even if Dormammu were the opponent at this moment, he would have to marvel at the Ancient One's talent!

That was a magical talent that even shocked him, the lord of the Dark Dimension; he was simply a born magician.

The Ancient One stood at the center of countless mirrored spaces, his robes fluttering in the turbulent energy currents. His face was slightly pale, but his eyes remained as bright as stars.

Write more praise!

"Here you go."

As he spoke, the countless layers of mirrored space began to rotate in reverse!

The dark energy swallowed by the mirror space formed a dark energy sphere exuding an aura of destruction.

Gu Yi flicked his finger lightly.

call out! !

The dark sphere, which contained most of the energy from Dormammu's all-out attack, reflected back along its original path at a speed exceeding the speed of light, heading straight for Dormammu's face!

With the way of the people, also treat the body of the people!

Dormammu's pupils contracted sharply, and in his haste, he could only erect layers of dark shields in front of him.

"boom!!"

An explosion more violent than any before occurred.

It was as if a hole had been punched through the dimensional rift, connecting it to the unknown void.

A violent energy storm swept everything, and Mephisto and Wu Fengji, who were engaged in battle, were separated.

Mephisto erected countless barriers of hellfire in front of himself.

Wu Fengji flapped her wings and arrived before the barrier of the real dimension, whereupon the power of the phoenix soared into the sky!

The energy impact of this attack was too enormous. If Wu Fengji did not weaken the impact of this power, even if the mages of the Supreme Sanctuary could withstand it, many of them would still fall!

A massive energy storm engulfed everything!

When the energy storm subsided slightly, Dormammu reappeared, though his body had become somewhat ethereal.

The dark energy around him also became quite disordered. Within the extreme dark energy, there was actually the power of light and order. He suffered a huge loss!

He stared intently at the Ancient One, who remained standing calmly, though her breathing had become slightly more rapid, her eyes filled with rage and apprehension.

The power that was previously used only for protection has been able to unleash such tremendous destructive power when used in battle.

Even Mephisto, who was standing to the side, was surprised!

Is this the Ancient One he knows, with such fighting power?

Not only Dormammu, but even he realized the Ancient One's power.

This renowned supreme mage, famous throughout the universe and countless dimensions, unleashed a power that left even dimensional demons in awe after shedding the shackles of protection!

Even Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension and a renowned dimensional lord, suffered a devastating loss due to being caught off guard!
