Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 496 [496] Wang Ya's System Reconstructs a New Path of Witchcraft (5k Chapters Extra Update)

Boom!

Lightning flashed swiftly, thunder roared, and everything in the world seemed to turn pure white; thick black clouds piled up one after another, suppressing the light inside, and the earth was a pale white, yet it was a continuous range of mountain peaks.

Giant trees stand tall on the earth, close together, their presence a deeper darkness that cannot be dispelled or illuminated by the intense thunder and lightning.

A figure hovered in the sky, lightning swirling behind him. His black robe billowed in the howling wind, his aura overwhelming the heavens and earth. His black eyes looked down indifferently at the life forms among the endless trees below. They dared not look up at the sky, and could only lower their heads under the cover of that terrifying aura.

The once mighty beast kings and lords now groveled in disgrace. The difference in their life levels rendered them utterly incapable of resisting. This was a shock that struck both their spirit and their bodies; the moment any thought of rebellion arose, it was met with death.

Finally, there were some beasts that were unwilling to accept this fate. They raised their heads with all their might and roared and howled at the sky. It was an extraordinary creature that was comparable in size to a mountain with a body like a bear. Its fur was gray and black, and its claws were as thick and heavy as if they were made of steel.

An indescribable force spread outwards from the moment it roared, causing mountains thousands of meters high to collapse, trees to turn to dust and fly into the sky, forming a tornado of shockwaves.

The figure in black robes had a young face, his expression calm, devoid of sorrow or joy.

He slowly raised his right hand, his short white hair flying wildly, and his black eyes flashing with lightning-like white arcs, as if taking in everything through his eyes.

Stab it!

Black light began to bloom on the index finger, and tiny electric arcs continuously and densely generated around the fingertip, gradually condensing into liquid-like plasma. Terrifying power accumulated within it, evolving into a black plasma sphere the size of a fist.

The next moment, the advanced sorcery [Nightmare Annihilation Ball Lightning], which evolved from the Fission Death Ray, disappeared. To be precise, it was so fast that it was imperceptible to the naked eye and entered the hidden void layer.

Chi Chi!

The power was too great, and it was inevitable that faint black arcs of electricity would be left in the real world. However, when the traces could be detected, it proved that the sorcery had hit its mark.

Before the giant bear could react, its eyes were bloodshot, pain was evident, and its body was trembling almost in spasms.

Black arcs of electricity coiled around him, and when they dispersed, they became tiny beams of fission death light, indiscriminately destroying everything within their range.

The giant bear, one of the four kings of the canyon, is renowned for its strength and defense, yet it could not withstand such a dense barrage of death rays.

The high temperature caused the blood to evaporate into nothingness before it even came out of the flesh cavity.

In the blink of an eye, the level-two supernatural being, riddled with holes and as tall as a ten-thousand-foot mountain, died.

The wreckage still stands in the same spot.

Wang Ya raised his arm again, turning it into a palm and aiming it at the wreckage.

About one-tenth of the activation energy from the fission pathways within the body gathers in the palm, gradually forming a hole in the palm. This is a visual illusion, but in essence, it is the [Nightmare Annihilation Mahakala] sorcery created based on Mahakala sorcery.

It is more powerful, and the weaknesses of the original casting time and duration are no longer weaknesses.

As the nodes of the fission path were added, the power was further concentrated. The black light in the palm continuously absorbed the light from the outside world, making the surrounding environment pitch black.

Like a cloud, it is still spreading rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped the massive, towering body of the bear's remains.

The darkness vanished in an instant, along with the giant bear's remains and the vast expanse of earth beneath it; as if eroded by some unimaginable high-temperature energy, the soil at the breach had transformed into a thick, layered crystalline state.

The scorching heat, still carrying the scent of Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy, was highly polluted; even a supreme wizard apprentice would perish within it.

It still possesses the properties of absorbing heat and light, and it also provides the ability to conceal vision in darkness, thus isolating the enemy from perception and, to a certain extent, paralyzing the enemy's level of vigilance.

Wang Ya's face showed satisfaction.

The simulated battlefield replicates the scene of conquering the canyon almost perfectly, including the extraordinary creature enemies encountered.

pat!

Wang Ya snapped his fingers, controlling the simulated battlefield to change the environment.

In an instant, the world changed color, matter disappeared, chaos overlapped, and one extraordinary creature after another vanished into nothingness, while a new batch of extraordinary creatures was generated and appeared.

The blinding sunlight pierced through the thick clouds and descended upon the towering mountains. A gigantic, black tiger-like supernatural creature emerged from the void, its body reflecting and scattering the mirror-like light, making it incredibly dazzling.

Its back arched, its sharp claws pierced the mountains, and as it appeared, its beastly eyes looked up at the sky, its fur bristling, its eyes filled with deep fear and apprehension.

Then it turned into anger and ferocity, its fangs grinding together with a cracking sound, and the surrounding space seemed to fold and crease.

It sensed the undisguised oppression and murderous intent emanating from Wang Yana.

Let's go then!

A true king never fears, nor does he retreat.

Roar!

It roared to the sky, and white light began to emerge from its fangs and maw, gathering and absorbing sunlight and heat from all directions, even from most of the surrounding environment.

The dazzling platinum-gold energy light condensed to the limit of control.

It transformed into a torrent soaring straight into the sky, turning everything in its path into nothingness. Even space itself could not withstand the power, trembling and overlapping as if it were too powerful and too terrifying. It was indescribable what kind of power this was. The radiation value of the aftershocks alone was enough to kill several mortal countries and hundreds of millions of people.

Wang Ya's eyes were lowered, and white arcs of light flickered, calculating and controlling the direction and power values ​​of all energy bursts; this was a future vision ability, and the future within the next ten seconds was all in his prediction. If someone's strength surpassed his, this prediction would become unstable.

Beneath the black robe, thin black lines gradually appeared on the skin's surface, with overlapping node spheres belonging to the fission path, and terrifying power hidden within the body.

Wang Ya's nuclear fission transformation can be achieved through the resonance between the 365 small spheres at his entire body, which is also his full power.

At this moment, the twenty nodes overlapped together, and the resulting Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy was compressed to a terrifying degree.

With his right hand clenched, the Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy gradually outlined the shape of a spear. The moment he grasped it, the sorcery [Spear of the Great Underworld God] was complete.

All the energy and qi were contained within the spear, not radiating outwards in the slightest. It looked like an ordinary black metal spear, and even appeared somewhat rough.

Wang Ya has transformed the original Spear of the Underworld, making it even more penetrating. The power it unleashes and the speed at which it is launched have both been enhanced.

The biggest change is in its ability to counter hostile witchcraft.

Silently.

The Great Spear of Hades vanished from his hand.

The torrent of white energy that poured forth was instantly annihilated.

A flash of black light.

The tiger-like superhuman creature, its heart pierced, collapsed backward, its massive body slamming into the surrounding flesh with terrifying Nightmare Flames.

Chi Chi!

Trees and soil turned to nothingness, and black smoke billowed and spread until the target's life force was extinguished, at which point the form of the Great Underworld Spear slowly disappeared.

A slight smile appeared on Wang Ya's lips.

His right hand gently waved across the air in front of him.

The world underwent the same change; the traces of the battlefield disappeared, and in its place, a new Level 2 transcendent being manifested.

Its enormous wings blotted out the sky, its beak seemed capable of plucking stars from the sky, and its feathers were thick and black, like alloy steel. It let out a deep roar, flapped its wings, and created a tornado of boundless gale, sweeping up everything on the ground, hiding itself in the swirling filth, dust, and wood.

Wang Ya once again performed the modified witchcraft.

Fifty fission nodes overlapped, forming a black sphere the size of a millstone behind them. It was so black that it seemed to devour all light and heat.

If one has exceptional perception and observes this sphere closely, one can discover the massive amount of black threads inside, which are active and constantly coil like snakes.

It is the [Nightmare Devouring] spell that was modified from the [Obliteration Fission Black Line] spell.

The black sphere gradually faded and disappeared, and thin, snake-like black lines separated from it and disappeared into the void. The giant bird-like supernatural creature let out a painful roar, but the seemingly destructive gale had no effect on it at all; upon closer inspection, the black lines had wrapped around various parts of its body and were tearing at its flesh.

Their nature is very special, possessing both real and illusory properties. They have both the power of highly concentrated energy and the characteristics of dreamlike creatures with illusory properties.

It is neither inanimate nor alive; it only possesses the instinct to tear and devour.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous bird-like superhuman creature became a pale skeleton.

The black scars continued to corrode, eventually turning to ashes and disappearing into the world.

"The last Level 2 transcendent creature, let's begin."

With a thought, Wang Ya conjured up the body of Kirami, a giant snake with ethereal, rippling wings on its back and cold, serpentine eyes staring intently at the black-robed figure in the sky above.

Pairs of malevolent, snake-like pupils appeared within the dreamlike ripples scattered by the wings, and an invisible, illusory power swept towards Wang Ya's airspace.

The void appeared to float and fold, which was very strange and filled with an unusual eeriness.

"Kirame, you are the most powerful of the four king-level extraordinary beings. The remaining spells will be left for you to test."

Wang Ya smiled calmly, and the Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy within his body surged once more, causing his robes to bulge out. The tangible dark energy covered his entire body and continued to expand, gradually threatening to obscure the sky.

Sorcery [Nightmare Freeze]

All the heat and temperature within a range of 100,000 meters began to be absorbed, and the process was extremely rapid.

Click!

The void was frozen, water molecules were frozen, the cold air spread, and Kira's body was also frozen, from the surface to the inside of his flesh and blood, blood flow slowed down, his pupils were covered with frost, and even his extraordinary nature was suppressed, making it difficult to activate his innate abilities.

Of course, during the freezing process, Chilamy had the ability to change the outcome, and Wang Ya simultaneously cast another spell.

His pupils gleamed with a black and white light.

The power of the dream wizard immediately took effect on the target's consciousness.

Witchcraft [Nightmare Floating Pagoda Realm]

It blends the characteristics of Nightmare Kingdom witchcraft and Black and White Pagoda witchcraft, instantly pulling the target's consciousness and soul into a shaped dream world; the dream world is a personal spiritual world permanently created by the caster in advance.

If one's mental and spiritual power surpasses that of the enemy, one can create a powerful version of oneself in a dream to suppress and kill the enemy; achieving this result weakens the target enemy's state, causing them to suffer a severe blow to their consciousness and soul.

It can also absorb different emotions in daily life through the characteristics of the Black and White Pagoda, thereby influencing the target from different levels in the personal dream world, even changing memories, inserting consciousness, replacing personality, or weakening the enemy's consciousness in battle.

This witchcraft contains a future vision for Wang Yameng's path as a witch.

If you kill the enemy's consciousness in the dream world, the enemy in reality will also die.

Wang Ya could do this against an enemy whose mental strength was far inferior, but it would be very difficult against an enemy of the same or greater strength.

At this moment, Kirami's consciousness was immersed in the Nightmare Dream Pagoda Realm, where the dreamscape it created made it unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and it was fighting within the separate spiritual consciousness of Wang Ya.

Another advantage for Wang Ya is that his mental consciousness can be continuously reshaped, and even if it is killed by an enemy, it will not affect the main body in the slightest; the cost is the consumption of mental power and mental fatigue.

Witchcraft [Nightmare Annihilation Great Demonic Calamity]

An invisible black flame burned Kirami's consciousness and spirit from the dream world, causing it to wail in agony. The stronger the spirit, the more the demonic flames swelled and blazed. In the real world, Kirami's body also spontaneously combusted, almost to the same degree as the burning in the dream world, and its physical body suffered the same injuries.

This is Wang Ya's attempt to kill his real-world target in a dream.

Furthermore, the demonic fire is contagious, spreading through the mind and consciousness, and even through eye contact, which can lead to being ignited.

The burning firewood is also based on the spirit, consciousness, and soul of the target individual.

The flames on the physical level cannot be extinguished.

A few breaths later, Chilamy's body completely disappeared, the lingering warmth proving its existence.

These witchcraft practices were not all that Wang Ya had altered.

The blizzard season was exceptionally long; thirty-two years had passed in total.

Witchcraft [Nightmare Dream Mirror]

[Details: A dreamland can be created within the Mirror Realm, where Nightmare Seeds can be cultivated. Once mature, they can serve as substitutes for the deceased and can be used across realms via the Dream World. The consciousness and souls of living beings can be drawn into it as resources to expand the dreamland and cultivate Nightmare Seeds. Mature Nightmare Seeds can be used as avatars of consciousness, possessing a certain proportion of the original's power.]

Heart of Conquest Headquarters.

Wang Ya opened her eyes, and the flickering white arcs of light gradually subsided, returning to the cold, piercing state of her black pupils.

"Thirty-two years have passed, during which the evolution of witchcraft has been completed and the path of the wizard has been solidified."

He sighed slightly. During his apprenticeship, it wouldn't have taken so long. This was with the original basic witchcraft as a foundation. If he were to recreate the second-tier advanced witchcraft, the time it would take would be even more exaggerated, often around a hundred years, and the number of spells would not be so large.

Different levels require different levels of effort, time, and underlying knowledge.

Compare it to elementary school addition and subtraction, and functions, in advanced mathematics.

White snowflakes drifted down, piling up in a shallow layer on the street, leaving no footprints. Every so often, the underground magic array would release high-heat energy to melt the snowflakes, which would then be drained away through waterways.

Wang Ya took the first footprint and walked as if taking a stroll, with streaks of light radiating particle energy flying across the sky from time to time.

The number of wizards with a heart for conquest is dozens of times greater than when they first arrived in the Frosty Lands.

However, a lack of foundation is not so easy to make up for; it requires time to accumulate.

The Pale Hand has existed for an incredibly long time, and it took considerable effort for those with a desire for conquest to seize control of such an ancient power.

Of course, as the creator and leader of the plan, Wang Ya looked forward to the day when the virtual and real amplification generators would be spread throughout the entire Pale Hand region.

"Things have changed, people have changed; time is the most terrifying weapon. I wonder how many old friends are still around."

Wang Ya had some ideas.

He does whatever comes to mind, making rational judgments based on what is in his own best interest.

In a secluded corner of the headquarters, towering buildings and ancient castles stand side by side, with mortals coming and going, and some wizards flying out from the towers and then returning.

The energy tides of the earth's veins flow back to this point, and wizards who live and meditate here will benefit more than those in other places; generally speaking, only wizards and wizard families with a strong desire for conquest can enjoy such benefits.

The Anton family, as the elders of the Conquest family, may not have produced a true official wizard yet, but this qualification is enough for the newly emerging official wizard families to treat them with caution.

"Good news, great news! The Anton family may be about to experience some positive changes."

Mona Anton was tending to some vegetation in the cultivation area. As an elder of the family, no one usually dared to disturb her.

However, only a handful of people can enter the heart of the family's Anton Castle.

Before she even arrived, her joyful voice rang out, and Mona's still beautiful and youthful face was adorned with a smile.

"Chieftain, what could possibly make you so happy?"

Kazeantun's strength is that of a Limitless Wizard Apprentice. Over the long years, he has used some magical methods and still retains his past appearance, just like Mona; but the life force does not lie, he is weakening and is about to reach old age and exhaustion.

When Kazeantun delivered the news, Mona's expression changed from her usual calm to agitation and anxiety.

"The Nightmare Wizard... he seems to have changed!"
