Wizards pursue the truth

The right hand that the Great Wizard Zeyuan withdrew was covered with cracks, as if some kind of keratin layer had been worn away by some powerful force. Not only his palm, but also his body was covered with a layer of blue-black keratin, which could condense into blue-black extraordinary poison at any time, or disperse into a poisonous aura and blend into the air.

The remaining black particle energy was still gnawing at and eroding his right palm.

Grand Wizard Zeyuan flicked his hand, and the Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy, like a leech, along with some blue-black keratin, fell into the spatial river, creating a wave before being swallowed up by clumps of black shadows.

"You're quite capable, but the appetizers are over, and now it's time for the main course."

"Young man, you're still too young. Accumulate experience for a few hundred years before trying again."

Grand Wizard Ze Yuan followed the path of a bloodline wizard, even breaking through certain of his own bloodline's constraints. He could spontaneously condense a portion of ancient blood, and his strength was second only to the three Venerable Ones within the Crimson Society.

If the shackles of bloodline are completely broken, it is not impossible to recreate the heyday of the Death Abyss Poison Dragon; in the past, the Death Abyss Poison Dragon mastered the power of the rules and was a terrifying ancient beast of the rules.

Even though it is currently just a fragment, it only possesses the limit of the Starry Life level of the Zeyuan Wizard.

The power granted by the Deadly Abyss Poison Dragon is enough to make Ze Yuan Wizard the most terrifying existence among the stars.

With his right fist clenched, his body slightly bent, and his head lowered, an indescribable aura gradually emanated from the wizard Zeyuan. He seemed to have locked onto a certain spot, gathering strength, and the next moment he would throw a punch.

A gray aura lingered around the fist, and beneath the skin and flesh, something seemed to be flowing, converging towards the fist; visible to the naked eye was the color of the skin surface, densely covered with light black lines, seemingly outlining a special pattern.

Buzz!

A subtle tremor echoed in this deep space. There were no special effects, no particle energy gathering to vibrate the void. Everything was calm, as calm as if the wizard Zeyuan had simply raised his right hand, about to throw a punch.

However, if any star-like life form were here, it would be able to sense the terrifying death energy emanating from that gray-hued fist, enough to kill any star-like life form. Once struck, it would be impossible to resist the taint of the death energy with its own life force.

Extremely high lethality!

"Wait... this power is!"

Grand Wizard Ze Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, his own preparation was interrupted, and his raised gaze locked onto a spot in the black void directly in front of him.

The black beam of light squeezed in and continued to spread, not just in one place, but throughout this entire depth of space.

Particle energy, indescribable fire element particle energy, pouring out its power, is an extremely advanced and special particle energy evolution. Grand Wizard Zeyuan recognized it as the means to obliterate his Horn of Death.

boom!

The moment the power erupted, a chain reaction occurred throughout the entire spatial layer. Everything twisted and turned, like a carpet, and in reality, the essence of the space was affected.

The crimson pupils of the Great Wizard Zeyuan reflected endless black light, from which a spear gradually materialized.

The spear, entirely black with a metallic texture, had a dreamy, iridescent sheen at its tip, resembling a rotating eye that had locked onto the aura of the great wizard Ze Yuan.

There's no way to avoid it!

This was the idea that came to the mind of the great wizard Zeyuan.

"Alright, alright, this is quite a surprise. Let's see if your lethality is stronger or mine is superior."

Grand Wizard Zeyuan saw through the essence of the black metal spear: high-intensity special particle energy, possessing both illusion and reality, seemingly a combination of dream power and particle energy, with the unique petal-like phenomenon characteristic of dream wizards being extremely obvious.

The extreme destructive intent emanating from the Great Destruction Spear was quite evident, which fueled his competitive spirit. The source of the Deadly Abyss Poison Dragon was the control over lethality, death, and the intent of death. Although the Great Wizard Zeyuan had not touched the power of the rules, the weakened lethality made him a figure feared by many high-level wizards in the Frost and Snow Land.

He truly has the ability to kill high-level wizards directly, and even those with multiple life-saving abilities cannot escape his clutches.

Battles between high-ranking wizards, unless there is an overwhelming disparity in strength, often last for a considerable period of time.

When its own particle energy is depleted, it can be replenished through the natural environment.

It's even possible for them to fight their way from the real world to the dream world, the inner world, the shadow world, and even into the starry sky. High-ranking wizards who died in the starry sky did exist in the history of the Frostland.

The void river of space surged with waves, and within the expanding black energy field, a figure flew backward, crashing through layers of space and plunging into the river. Following closely behind, the Great Destruction Spear, carrying heavy black flames, also plunged into the river with a "plop," seemingly determined to kill its target.

The Dead Eye has locked onto the target. Unless the Spear of Annihilation itself is destroyed, it will relentlessly pursue the target as long as it remains within the locked range.

The power of the Nightmare Wizard can already penetrate deep into space. Only by truly entering the deeper, unknowable, and unpredictable unknown realm can the Dead Eye's locked perception be broken.

Grand Wizard Zeyuan would certainly not break his promise and use the power of the Radiant Moon level to enter the unknown land to hide. Right now, he was facing an unprecedented double test.

A joint assessment led by two veteran Star Lifeforms, Grand Wizard Zunhuang and Grand Wizard Zeyuan.

Grand Wizard Zeyuan wouldn't allow himself to lose face. He figured that old bastard, the Emperor, was still spying on him. Feeling the approaching chill of death, he couldn't help but curse under his breath. That old bastard, the Emperor, really didn't lift a finger, just watched him get beaten.

Despite it being a battle fought side by side, he faced the pressure of the Nightmare Wizard head-on, unleashing a barrage of witchcraft techniques, like stirring up a hornet's nest. On the other hand, the Grand Wizard of the Supreme Emperor only released some Grand Emperor Active Particle Energy Evolution and did not use any other methods.

If it weren't for the contract, he would have even suspected that the Emperor was deliberately trying to trick him for the sake of his Zeyuan inheritance.

Finally, the Great Wizard Zeyuan stopped moving and turned to face the black metal spear that was rushing towards him, which had repeatedly broken through his sorcery with its lethality and sharpness.

Its mouth opened, and a slit appeared behind it. As if in sync with the arc of the mouth opening, blue-black spikes shot out one by one, lined up together, forming a giant mouth like a spatial rift.

Second-Order Ascension Spell - Time Poison

Click!

The giant maw actually bit through the Great Destruction Spear.

The Great Wizard Zeyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his robes billowing as the shockwaves spread. He stood in the void, his gaze calmly fixed on the distance.

Behind it, the gigantic maw formed by the void itself continued to chew until it completely swallowed the Great Destruction Spear, leaving no trace whatsoever.

"You're still a long way off, young man. The older generation of wizards aren't as easily defeated as the opponents you've encountered before."

Grand Wizard Zeyuan seemed to have pierced through multiple layers of void, meeting the gaze of the owner of the black metallic spear.

"If you can defeat me and that old bastard Zunhuang, and participate in the Star Battle Tournament, you can at least get into the top 100 of this initial star field centered on the Wizard Mother Star."

"But can you do it?"

"You can acquire my legacy, the Emperor's legacy, the legacies of other high-ranking wizards in the Crimson Society, and the Pillar's legacy, but the prerequisite for all of this is strength and qualification."

Grand Wizard Ze Yuan turned around and walked into the gaping void maw. As the gap closed, the figure of Grand Wizard Ze Yuan, which had materialized out of thin air on the battlefield of the real world, appeared and clenched his fist as if he had grasped endless power, and punched towards Nightmare Wizard.

boom!

The gray aura spread, forming tangible ripples of energy that swept away thousands of golden clouds and numerous island meteorites, displaying the power of a celestial fire falling and destroying the world.

The deathly aura was present, but it was completely blocked by the equally spreading black protective shield, which was so tight that there were no gaps and it did not give the deathly a chance to infiltrate the black-robed figure inside.

The black-robed figure seemed to have anticipated his attack. His fair and handsome face furrowed slightly as he gripped the Nightmare Annihilation Mirror and injected more Nightmare Annihilation Particle Energy into it. The black light reflected from the Harak Mirror reappeared, and all the power was deflected back.

"Your mirror is really shameless. Who taught you to refine it like this, manifesting special abilities?" Grand Wizard Zeyuan lightly touched the ground and stepped into the gap between the overlapping space of illusion and reality. The rebounding force did not touch him at all.

The gigantic maw of time, devouring poison, reappeared in the vast space behind him, swallowing up all the rebounding power.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to come out. If you remain hidden, don't blame me for being unreasonable. Use your true power to give this brat a good beating." Grand Wizard Zeyuan turned to look at the golden energy tide cloud that had been blocked by black flames. As if hearing his voice, the cloud shifted, and an old figure in a red wizard's robe emerged from it. His white and black hair fell to his shoulders, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Zeyuan, you should have fully grasped the Nightmare Wizard's strength by now. He should be able to inherit your legacy. Shall we begin?"

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor wore a smile, his wrinkles seemed to have diminished, as if time were flowing backwards, and his ancient eyes, weathered by time, were both serene and profound.

"Alright, you old codger, you have a point. I don't care what you're scheming for, I don't care anyway, I'm all alone." Grand Wizard Zeyuan sneered, glanced at Wang Ya, and said, "I just thought this matter was interesting, so I did it."

The path of a bloodline wizard, especially one that carries ancient blood, has a long lifespan. Even without food or water, they can survive by breathing and absorbing energy naturally, as long as no accidents occur.

No matter how much they scheme, it's all for the Scarlet Society; the interests are aligned, so Grand Wizard Ze Yuan doesn't care.

The consciousness of the Supreme Emperor Wizard also connected with Wang Ya.

The latter frowned, his eyes fixed on the Grand Wizard. Conducting a dual test, and simultaneously at that, was neither part of his plan nor his agreement with the Grand Wizard.

"It depends on your choice. Don't you want the Radiant Moon's inheritance? Ze Yuan's inheritance is right before your eyes. This is a rare opportunity. His personality isn't easy to talk to. It will be very difficult for you to find another chance to obtain Ze Yuan's inheritance next time." The Venerable Emperor Grand Wizard looked at Wang Ya. "Furthermore, there is an ancient blood. This thing is very precious even within the Crimson Society. It is not a resource that can be exchanged."

Even if you fail, you will still have another chance to be tested with me.

The meaning behind the words of the Grand Wizard was already very clear.

This may be the only chance to obtain Ze Yuan's inheritance.

For the great wizard Zeyuan, who walks the path of bloodline wizards, a single slumber or a nap can take hundreds of years to pass.

Wang Ya fell silent.

The two Radiant Moon Archmages stood in the void, calmly watching Wang Ya and awaiting his choice.

The unexpected decision made by the Grand Wizard Ze Yuan without his consent left Wang Ya feeling empty. To be precise, he didn't like things being out of his control.

Making a wizard contract with the Grand Wizard does not mean that Wang Ya will take the lead.

Ultimately, it comes down to who has the stronger team.

"I am willing to take the test for the Great Wizard of Zeyuan," Wang Ya replied.

He only has this one answer to choose from.

A forced opportunity is also an opportunity.

Obtaining the inheritance of a Radiant Moon Archmage, along with a piece of ancient blood, is a win-win situation, and it will also be helpful for his research on bloodlines related to rules.

Research on the Night Moon Elf bloodline had to be shelved due to limitations imposed on bloodlines based on rules.

However, opportunities come with challenges.

As the great wizard Zeyuan said, if you want to obtain something, you must first have the corresponding qualifications.

Qualification is the value that one possesses and demonstrates based on strength, potential, and one's own inherent qualities.

Whether he possesses such value depends on the two Grand Wizards of the Moonlit Night.

It depends on whether one can pass the dual assessments conducted simultaneously.

Facing two Radiant Moon Wizards, at the peak of the Star Life level.

The Battle of the Stars is a competition for beings within a thousand years. Those whose strength has reached the level of stellar life are already among the best of the best.

Even though Wang Yadu has been at the Starry Sky level for such a long time and has experienced many opportunities, he has never been able to advance to the Radiant Moon Wizard level. Accumulation is inevitable. No matter what status, position, or connections one has, this is one's own wizarding path.

Of course, one can also choose to rely on external forces, inheriting the wizarding path of others, thereby quickly improving one's strength and reaching the upper limit of life among the stars.

"Your courage is commendable, but courage doesn't give you the right to do so. If you want to take advantage of me, then go all out and smash your face in with all your might."

A cold smile appeared on the face of the great wizard Zeyuan, and then the corners of his mouth continued to curve upwards, his smile becoming increasingly arrogant.
