Wizards pursue the truth

White hair danced in the air, appearing much darker under the fluorescent glow created by the highly concentrated energy of the Nightmare Annihilation particles; the void distorted by the giant hand's grasping motion made the entire Sword Realm seem on the verge of collapse.

The Nightmare Wizard remained calm, though a hint of surprise flickered in his deep pupils.

It wasn't because the Blue Shield Wizard was powerful; even the Star Wizard could achieve this, especially by utilizing the power of another Dream Wizard and adapting to the rules of the Dream World.

What surprised Wang Ya was seeing a rare and unusual species.

The first Star Wizard to attack is a bloodline wizard; his extraordinary bloodline is of an extremely high level, possessing ancient ancestral power, and he is suspected to be a giant from some ancient era.

With eight arms and a single horn, its characteristics match those of the ancient giant race, the Sky Ferocious Giant. In that era of disorder and the slaughter of all beastly instincts, the Sky Ferocious Giant stood at the top of the food chain and possessed the ability to contend with and fight against the giant beast races that traversed the stars.

The Celestial Giant can also survive in the starry sky and the void; at its peak, the Celestial Giant can roam the starry sky within thousands of light-years.

This is something that Wang Ya cannot do yet.

With proper preparation, the distance a Star Wizard can travel in the starry sky is only a few hundred light-years.

This is before encountering any danger, such as fighting against cosmic monsters in the starry sky and incurring additional losses; if this cannot be avoided, the originally scheduled time will continue to be shortened.

The dangers in the cosmos are far more than that. Cosmic phenomena, the reversal of cosmic tides, the envelopment of stellar dust, and the high-quality cosmic magnetic field rings of dark matter all pose a challenge to extraordinary individuals who attempt to measure the cosmos, unless they possess auxiliary equipment to traverse the cosmos, such as cosmic warships, cosmic magic arrays, or stargate transfers.

Only when an individual's strength reaches an incredible level can they conquer the universe, travel to every corner, and explore all its secrets.

The secrets of the Wizarding Continent have not yet been fully explored, yet thoughts have already drifted to the stars. Wang Ya smiled wryly, suppressing these thoughts and focusing his attention on the crisis in the Sword Realm before him.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Even with the existence of the illusion-replacement magic array and the powerful support of the illusion-replacement amplifier, it was still impossible to stop this terrifying and ferocious true spirit giant.

The power of Nightmare Annihilation exists in every aspect of the Sword Realm, radiating from every root tendril of the Fission Path, forming a thick, high-intensity pressure like a river of heavy water, and a terrifying suction force like a vacuum contraction.

boom!

The giant's arms were thick and strong, like the veins of mountains and rivers. It forcefully broke through everything and arrived directly on the Nightmare Tree at the very core. The equally huge black and white trees, which seemed to support the heavens and the earth, instinctively used their black roots to reach out and entwine it.

The scattered black and gray energy light transformed into ribbon-like streams of brilliance, carrying with it the seven-colored dream power within the Sword Realm. Even the surrounding dream void was affected, beginning to distort and appear to freeze to the naked eye, with the lines of pigment color stretching and becoming increasingly fantastical.

A terrifying shockwave spread outward from the center of contact, destroying everything it touched. Numerous dream nodes of the illusion-replacement magic array were destroyed, along with the black and white foam fruits on the Nightmare Tree.

Even the Nightmare Tree itself had a huge fist-shaped imprint on its trunk, extending three-tenths of an inch deep, from which a large amount of white sap flowed out. Within it were a vast amount of wizard runes, which were the convergence of the Nightmare Grand Wizard's own wizarding path and his understanding of all truths and knowledge.

The resulting impact was that the process of the Devouring Sword Realm pulling the Dream Sword into the Nightmare Ancient Tree began to reverse and regress. About half of the sword's length was penetrated, and one-third of it was forced out, leaving only about one-quarter of the sword's length still inside the tree.

"Little bug, you're all sweating, aren't you? Before the power of the Heavenly Fiend, everything is in vain."

Blue Poison Wizard's body was completely integrated into the true spirit body of the Heavenly Ferocious Giant, formed by combining true spirit power with particle energy.

This is a power that only Star Wizards can wield, far exceeding the strength of ordinary elemental forms. It is also one of the fundamental differences in power that allows them to absolutely crush and slaughter formal wizards.

Of course, some exceptionally gifted and talented professional wizards might be able to develop similar methods to briefly contend with the Star Wizards, but that would be too difficult, and it would be rare for such outstanding individuals to emerge.

The difference in foundation and knowledge between a first-level wizard and a second-level wizard is too great.

Its blood vessels bulged, its muscles resembled a dragon's body, and its feet, as large as mountains, stood atop the lowest level of the Sword Realm. Its torso shot straight up the net, forcing the seven-colored dream power to be swept away and separated because of its presence. Even the remaining black fission roots could not get close. Gray aura spread from its capillaries and pores, forming a faint gray cloud that enveloped the surface of the Heavenly Ferocious Giant's body. It was a manifestation of bloodline power and could also unleash some terrifying innate abilities.

Four of the eight arms gripped the main root tendrils of the Nightmare Tree, while the other four arms firmly held the Nightmare Tree itself in place. The face of the Blue Shield Wizard appeared on the face of the Ferocious Giant, overlapping with it. The original ferocious fangs and animalistic pupils were now tinged with human mockery and disdain.

"Is this all you're capable of?"

"To provoke the wrath of the Blue Shield and the majesty of the Pale Hand is absolutely the stupidest thing you've ever done."

The Blue Shield Wizard's voice, like rolling thunder, echoed throughout the entire Sword Realm.

Above the sky, the head and chest of the Heavenly Fiend Giant looked down, its ferocious and terrifying face seemingly covering and destroying the heavens and earth, drawing ever closer to the earth.

At this moment, the Nightmare Tree seemed about to break, its trunk bent and its branches broken, white sap flowing out continuously, forming a vast ocean in the Sword Realm, where various dream creatures were born, only to be suppressed and killed by the terrifying power of the Heavenly Ferocious Giant.

A gray aura enveloped and spread to every corner of the Sword Realm, the bloodline power and innate abilities of the Heavenly Fiend Giant had been unleashed.

It is a primal ferocity that eradicates and kills from the root. Generally speaking, immortality and regeneration are no match for such eradication power.

"Is that all the power you have?" The Blue Shield Wizard looked disappointed, then laughed mockingly. "Not much. If you were strong enough, you wouldn't resort to such underhanded tricks. You're just a clown who can't stand the light of day."

"Let me unveil your clown facade and find out who you really are."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful to preserve your soul; after all, you're the only enemy who has ever made me so angry in all these years. I'll make you suffer for ten thousand years."

The Blue Shield Wizard's eyes turned cold. "That's the price you have to pay for touching that sword, a price you can't afford."

What intrigued the Blue Shield Wizard was how the other party had detected the sword's presence, devised various schemes, and completed them right under the pale hand's nose.

Was it that the Wizard of the Pale Hand had become complacent, or that the Wizard of the Dream had grown old and lost his abilities, or was the enemy's methods simply too powerful and mysterious?

Judging from the fact that the opponent's true spirit form was suppressed so easily, it was not the latter situation... The Blue Shield Wizard simply stopped thinking about it and once again output mixed true spirit power from the particle energy in his body to support the strength of the true spirit form, the Heavenly Ferocious Giant. The hazy mist was like the death aura of the end of the world, taking away all living things.

The world began to grow cold and gray, the Nightmare Tree gradually withered and died, and its roots and tendrils dissolved one by one.

The Blue Shield Wizard's smile grew increasingly mocking as he stared at the human figure in black robes amidst the giant black and white trees. He suddenly swung his right hand; with a tearing sound, a large section of the tree trunk shattered, and the Dream Sword broke free from its restraints, hovering in the void, reflecting countless images.

A complex expression crossed the Blue Shield Wizard's face as he softly called out, "Teacher."

Their gaze then shifted to the black-robed figure resisting the gray mist.

"Insignificant ants."

He sneered, his body the monstrous giant, and clenched his fist to smash down.

In an instant, the three powerful entities—spiritual body, soul body, and consciousness body—transformed into a spray of blood mist and emanated extraordinary fluctuations at the level of a Star Wizard. They entered the dream void at the speed of a stream of light.

The Blue Shield Wizard sneered, and with a thought, he wanted to completely annihilate this clown-like ant enemy.

Suddenly, a nameless panic arose in my heart, a fear of dying at any moment... How could this be!

He turned around abruptly.
