Hogwarts Summoning Guide

The desert of the Dark Empire is a desolate land abandoned by the gods. Here, there is no sunrise or sunset, only eternally looming black clouds and the ceaseless "obsidian sandstorm." This sandstorm is not ordinary dust, but is composed of countless tiny, razor-sharp obsidian crystals. Swirled by the gale, they act like billions of tiny black razors, cutting through everything on this land day and night.

In the heart of this desolate wasteland, Bai Lin had already made his move. His figure was as fast as lightning, and he regarded Satogua as his most powerful opponent. However, he still wondered about the opponent's strength, or rather, his control over this desolate land.

A fierce gust of obsidian sandstorm neutralized Bai Lin's first sword strike.

The ancient god Satogua chuckled. He was so tall he was almost deformed, wrapped in a tattered yet ancient-sounding black robe. In the shadow of the hood, his enormous, toad-like mouth twitched slightly, emitting a sickeningly wet, sticky sound.

He stood there quietly, and the space around him seemed to be subtly distorted around him. Even the obsidian sandstorm, which was powerful enough to cut through iron, would strangely deflect when it came within three feet of his body, as if he himself was an absolute point of order in this chaotic space—a point of order defined by chaos.

The other, Bai Lin, had his tight-fitting clothes torn in countless tiny holes by the wind and sand, revealing his taut muscles underneath. The "Jade-Handled Dragon" in his hand trembled slightly.

Under the combined influence of Bai Lin's ultimate faction power, the ancient jade hilt of the sword shimmered with light, while the blade resembled a lurking azure dragon, with a faint dragon's roar flowing along its edge. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the inhuman being before him. His breathing was steady, but every muscle was taut to the extreme.

"Mortal," Satogua's voice didn't travel through the air, but rang directly in Bai Lin's mind, carrying a languid and hollow quality from the abyss, "your sword is too noisy."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Lin moved again.

Without the slightest probing, his figure instantly transformed into a streak of azure light. Using the Seven Star Step, he forcefully tore a vacuum passage through the howling obsidian sandstorm. The tip of the jade-hilted dragon sword pointed directly at Satoguya's throat; the dragon patterns on the blade seemed to come alive, bursting forth with a blinding, cold light. This sword strike was as fast as thunder and as ruthless as a scorpion, embodying the culmination of his life's swordsmanship.

However, just as the sword tip was about to touch Satoguya's robe, the scene before Bai Lin's eyes suddenly distorted.

"Space folding".

Satoguya's toad-like mouth uttered cold syllables.

Bai Lin felt a sudden weight on his wrist, and an irresistible force emanated from the sword. The blade he thrust out was forcibly bent in space, pointing at his brow at a bizarre angle! It was the result of the forced alteration of the curvature of space; the enemy, so close yet so far, was actually thousands of miles away.

"A mere trick!" Bai Lin scoffed inwardly, but his footwork remained perfectly steady. He forcefully twisted his waist in mid-air, changing his sword stance from thrusting to slashing. A crescent-shaped sword aura skimmed the ground, passing by Satogua's feet and leaving a deep, bottomless crack in the ground.

A flicker of annoyance crossed Satoguya's eyes. He slowly raised a pale, slender hand, his fingertips making a light sweeping motion in the air.

A pitch-black spatial rift appeared out of nowhere, like a greedy maw, instantly devouring the sword energy that was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, leaving not even a trace of energy fluctuation.

"Is that all?" Satogua's voice carried a hint of mockery. "Your anger, your power, are all too insignificant."

"Insignificant?" Bai Lin's eyes suddenly turned icy. "Then I'll show you what it means to be anything but insignificant!"

He bit his tongue sharply, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the jade hilt of the dragon. The sword instantly turned blood red, and a violent, chaotic aura surged from it.

"With my blood, I call your name! Chaotic evil spirits, heed my call and tear everything before you apart!"

Facing the true form of the ancient god, Bai Lin had no time to suppress the chaotic power, nor did he need to worry that the eruption of the chaotic power would harm the planet beneath his feet.

With Bai Lin's furious roar, the earth began to tremble violently. Countless shrill howls echoed from the ground, and dozens of translucent, chaotic evil spirits burst forth. They varied in form, some resembling distorted human faces, others like multi-legged reptiles; they had no physical form, yet exuded a nauseating aura of chaos. Ignoring the barriers of space, they frantically pounced on Satoguya, attempting to use their chaotic spirits to assault the will of the ancient god and drag him into the abyss of disorder.

Despite the overwhelming horde of evil spirits, Satoguya remained motionless. He merely slightly opened his enormous toad mouth.

"Buzz—"

An invisible ripple of spiritual energy spread out from him. All the chaotic evil spirits that approached it, upon contact with this ripple, felt as if they were ice cubes being thrown into boiling oil, making a sizzling sound, before instantly disintegrating and turning into primal spiritual energy, which Satoguya inhaled and devoured entirely.

"Chaos is a refuge for the weak." Satogua licked his lips, as if savoring some delicious treat. "And you, you can't even protect a refuge."

Bai Lin's face instantly turned pale. Summoning the Chaotic Fiend had greatly depleted his mental energy, yet the opponent had so easily neutralized it, and even devoured it?

"It's not over yet!" Bai Lin roared, his blood energy surging, and strange dark red patterns appeared on his skin.

"The Demonic Ape's Dharma Form, manifest!"

In an instant, a ten-zhang-tall demonic ape appeared behind him. The demonic ape was entirely crimson, with bulging muscles, protruding fangs, and its eyes burning with ferocious flames. It roared to the sky, and the entire desert trembled.

This is Bai Lin's second stage of manifesting the "Demon Ape Dharma Form" after merging the power of the faction. He no longer transforms himself into a demon, but releases the Dharma Form outward to transcend the shackles of the physical body and generate greater power.

The Demonic Ape Dharma Form moved in sync with Bai Lin, its enormous fist carrying a monstrous force capable of shattering the void as it slammed into Satoguya. This punch was devoid of any fancy moves, possessing only pure, extreme power. Wherever the fist's force passed, the space itself groaned under its strain, revealing fine, dense black cracks.

Facing this blow, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, Satoguya remained standing still. Just as the giant ape fist was about to shatter his head, his body suddenly disintegrated like a disturbed ink painting, instantly shattering into countless black geometric fragments.
