Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 556 [556] The Emperor sighs with joy at finally obtaining the inheritance, and the Earth God comes seeking another challenge (Please customize)

Golden rain fell from the sky, seemingly mourning the death of the Grand Wizard, a sense of sorrow pervading the air. Wang Ya stood in the sky, his chest rising and falling slightly, the exhaustion from the repeated battles taking its toll.

His lips twitched slightly as he watched a golden crystal coffin slowly float down from the sky.

A pair of hands lifted the coffin lid, and the Venerable Emperor Wizard stood up from it, looking over with admiration. He couldn't help but exclaim, "You have surprised me so much. I never thought you would actually do it, complete the double test, and kill my past self."

"I am now a newborn, representing the life of the Radiant Moon, Nightmare Wizard. Your strength and foundation are quite powerful and perfect. It seems I have to change some of my plans."

"At least you already have the ability to acquire the legacy of other Grand Wizards of the Moonlit Night, and I feel at ease letting you face all the challenges of the Crimson Society. The only one I need to worry about is Grand Wizard Ashe; his strength surpasses mine, even if I don't want to admit it."

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor flew out of the golden coffin, his hands behind his back, his golden robes fluttering, and a faint smile on his face. "Well, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I have fought with the Grand Wizard of Aishe several times. Although it is rumored that there were both victories and defeats, the best result was only a draw due to the Grand Wizard of Aishe's humility."

"If you want to inherit the legacy of the great wizard Ashe, you must also pass his test. I once made a bet with him about who would win the Crimson Society's spot in the Star Wars Tournament, whether you or his apprentice, the Celestial Wizard Karina."

"If you win, I can help you obtain a supernatural creature with a very high concentration of ancient blood."

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor did not mention the price of losing the bet, but instead changed the subject, "The power of the Grand Wizard of Aisha in his youth is still unknown. He rarely made a move. I am older than him, but I was asleep during that period. He appeared with an invincible aura, and smoothly overcame one enemy and difficulty after another, finally breaking through the Moonlit Realm and taking over the position of decision-maker of the Crimson Society."

"If you have any idea about obtaining the inheritance of the Great Wizard Aishi, you'd better think it over beforehand. If you're absolutely certain, then go ahead. You'll only have one chance, and the pressure and difficulties you'll face won't be much less than if I and the Great Wizard Zeyuan were to fight together."

Wang Ya's expression became somewhat uncertain, and his eyes flickered.

The Venerable Emperor Wizard continued, "A clone is still a clone. The Great Wizard Zeyuan followed the path of a bloodline wizard. If he were truly at the Starry Sky level and fought with all his might, he wouldn't have been so easily killed by you today."

"The ancient blood will grant him an overwhelmingly terrifying ability to kill. The opposite of lethality is immortality. Similarly, behind the ultimate lethality, the Great Wizard Zeyuan possesses a terrifying ability to exist."

The meaning behind the words of the Supreme Emperor Wizard was quite clear.

He was giving Wang Ya a warning, telling him not to be too complacent and lose sight of his true self.

The real battlefield and war are far more difficult than today's assessment, filled with life-or-death crises, and we still need to continue to strive.

Wang Ya was not complacent. He was thinking about the matter of the Great Wizard Aishi and reviewing the assessment war. There is no absolutely perfect battle. The use of various witchcraft and methods, as well as the grasp of timing, are all very important. He planned to use the enemies in each battle as nourishment to improve his path as a wizard and enhance some of his hidden combat strength.

The enemies we fought in the past were, in essence, no match for the great wizards of the Crimson Society; the region, environment, and knowledge we possessed all determined the uneven levels of our combat strength.

Wang Ya gained a lot and had a clear understanding of his own combat strength and power, and vaguely grasped how to move forward in the future; he also needed to work hard to solve some of the loopholes and shortcomings in his combat.

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor looked at Wang Ya's steady breathing and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Wang Ya at this moment is perfect, perfectly suited to the goal he has chosen in his mind; the Crimson Saint who can truly represent the Crimson Society to participate in the Star Battle Tournament.

He lacked combat experience, but in other aspects, such as illusion, reality, and physique, he was the first person in his mind. He had never encountered a wizard more outstanding than Wang Ya in the past, and he thought that it might be possible in the future, but he also felt that it was unlikely.

The world is constantly changing, and the concept of fate is truly wonderful.

Of course, it would be even better if he could be his disciple.

Unfortunately, it was just a thought that flashed through his mind.

"Remaining humble and composed, and true to your original aspirations, you possess immense potential on the path of wizardry. It would be an honor for me to become your disciple."

The Grand Wizard coughed. "You are already perfect enough. I have nothing to teach you. In the future, you can come to the Pillar of the Grand Wizard from time to time to exchange ideas and discuss the difficulties on the path of a wizard."

"As a being at the limit of the Radiant Moon level, I still have the knowledge and experience related to breaking through the Radiant Moon level." The Venerable Emperor Grand Wizard seemed to have found some support, and he straightened his back a little, a smile on his aged face.

Wang Ya looked at him strangely and nodded.

"Also, regarding the Otherworld, the gray forbidden area your clone entered... if there's still any contact..."

"No problem, Your Majesty the Supreme Wizard, we will inform you to conduct the research together."

Wang Ya raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "After all, you are the great wizard who has shown me great kindness."

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor coughed again. "Alright, here is the Grand Wizard of the Emperor's inheritance you need. As for the inheritance from Grand Wizard Ze Yuan, I'll retrieve it for you when I have time. He's probably throwing a tantrum right now, so it's not convenient. It will take at least six months."

"A petty, ill-tempered lizard. It's best to torment it and make the Silver Sea Grand Wizard lose his temper, hahaha."

——The Realm of the Silver Sea

Whoosh!

The sea, which had been as calm as a mirror and surrounded by crystal, was now surging with massive waves. One wave after another easily swept up many sea beasts and extraordinary creatures from beneath the surface, sending them soaring into the sky, only to be reduced to dust under the immense pressure.

The sky seemed to be raining blood, with fragments of sea monsters and other extraordinary creatures, creating a spectacular sight that almost covered everything within the visible field of vision.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, as if it were about to stain the world red.

Roar!

An ancient, angry roar echoed from beneath the sea, causing the water to boil and churn. Black and yellow sewage surged and rose; the seabed cracked open, like an abyss swallowing the world, with massive amounts of seawater pouring in, and the outlines of enormous limbs could be vaguely seen emerging from the dark shadows within.

The crimson pupils opened, so terrifying, so ancient, as if they had endured millions of years. That power was enough to shatter and destroy a life form at the formal wizard level, the illusory three-body.

"Damn it, I actually lost, lost to a junior, and even got beaten to death with my fists. How shameful."

Even the deepest voice cannot travel at such a depth in the ocean, at the seabed; yet a voice does indeed appear, which is actually the influence of some kind of consciousness and pheromones, making the voice indistinguishable from that of the Great Wizard Ze Yuan.

"I refuse to accept this. My Star Life level isn't this weak. I should be much stronger. If we do it again, I definitely won't lose."

boom!

The silt on the seabed blended into the seawater. As the massive, deeply buried body trembled and moved, the seabed almost collapsed. Some extraordinary creatures that originally lived nearby were instantly killed the moment they sensed the presence, becoming cold corpses.

Extraordinary beings in more distant regions are also spontaneously moving away, not only because they sense the life-or-death crisis, but also because of the destruction of their environment; this is a natural disaster, an unprecedented one, and if they do not leave, they will all perish in the disaster.

Essentially, it was just the true form of the Deadly Abyss Poison Dragon, which was the Great Wizard Ze Yuan, turning over and standing up. He hadn't even fully stood up, and his head was still buried.

"Zeyuan, what's wrong with you? Are you really that upset about just wanting a piece of your ancient blood? If you don't want to stay, you can get out of my Silver Sea Realm."

A cold voice echoed across the Silver Sea Realm. Her white hair cascaded down her back, her robes fluttered, and the heavy wizard's robes she wore made her appear incredibly ethereal. Her slender legs were pressed together, and the transparent crystal boots revealed the color of her toenails.

The Silver Sea Archmage emerged from the void and slowly floated down. The turbulent waves that had been stirred up quickly subsided before her, like mice before a cat.

Chi Chi!

The crystal boot landed on the now calm, mirror-like surface of the silver sea, creating tiny ripples that then spread outwards.

The turbulent waves beneath the sea surface were gradually calming down, as if the power of the Great Wizard Zeyuan had been suppressed.

The Silver Sea Archmage's beautiful eyes were icy as she looked down into the depths of the sea, seemingly meeting the gaze of that terrifying, ferocious behemoth beneath the seabed, through the endless depths of the water and the vast amounts of filth and sand.

Despite the vast disparity between the two sides—one as insignificant as an ant, the other capable of devouring mountains, destroying the core of the world, and unleashing hurricanes with its wings—the Deadly Abyss Poison Dragon was suppressed. The Silver Sea Grand Wizard's gaze was icy and terrifying, so much so that the Ze Yuan Grand Wizard did not utter a word in rebuttal and silently withdrew his aura.

"It's a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding, Silver Sea Wizard. Please don't be angry. We are all from the same wizarding faction. Let's keep the peace."

The voice of the great wizard Zeyuan carried a hint of flattery and obsequiousness, quite different from his previous demeanor and even from the image he had projected to many wizards of the Crimson Academy in the past.

If such a performance were to spread to the outside world, countless low-level and mid-level wizards would be stunned and petrified.

"There was a small problem. The ancient blood within me went berserk. Thanks to you, Grand Wizard of the Silver Sea, for returning in time and controlling the Silver Sea Realm. With the suppression of your aura, the berserk blood of my ancient blood was finally calmed down."

Grand Wizard Zeyuan answered almost without thinking, his voice conveying the information quickly.

"This is the last time my bloodline will surge. I'm about to completely strip away the remaining bloodline information of the Poison Dragon and bring all the power under my own control."

"The Silver Sea Realm is still of great help to me, and this situation will not happen again in the future. I hope the Silver Sea Grand Wizard can understand this a little."

Being on the other side's territory, Grand Wizard Zeyuan also needed Grand Wizard Yinhai's help, so he had no choice but to back down and compromise.

Grand Wizard Zeyuan said, "I can guarantee that such a thing will never happen again. Consider this another favor I owe you, Grand Wizard Yinhai."

At present, it seems that he is in the wrong. If the matter is investigated further, it will be troublesome. He may offend not only the Silver Sea Grand Wizard, but also the Venerable Emperor Grand Wizard, who is also one of the Three Pillars.

The thought of those two menacing guys constantly targeting him, whom he couldn't defeat and could only helplessly endure, made his life truly awful.

Grand Wizard Zeyuan did not want to encounter such a situation.

The Silver Sea Wizard stared expressionlessly beneath the surface of the sea. After remaining silent for about half a minute, he turned and walked into the void, disappearing from sight.

That means they agreed.

Seeing this, the great wizard Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"That old bastard Zunhuang must have been plotting against me. I've lost out, I've lost a lot. I didn't get anything, I even had to give away my inheritance, and I was beaten to death."

"I, Zeyuan, have never suffered such a great injustice in all my years of life."

Grand Wizard Zeyuan still acknowledged that Wang Ya was stronger than he had been in the past; however, he still harbored resentment towards Grand Wizard Zunhuang.

"If only I could beat you, you old bastard."

The seawater gradually surged, and the silt submerged everything, covering and concealing the abyss fissures. The crimson dragon's eyes, filled with displeasure and dissatisfaction, finally disappeared into the darkness.

—Pillar of the Emperor

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor sat on a chair in the grand hall of the magnificent palace, leaning back against the chair, his hands on the armrests, and opened his eyes, which had been closed the whole time.

A flash of red and gold light streaked across the sky.

A slight smile curved his lips.

"You're smart enough to know your place, Zeyuan. I'll give you six months to think it over. Let me see who I should choose next, Jiutian or Li Ri. It's not easy to deal with someone who's not in the Crimson Academy."

"Well, the Nightmare Wizard should have gained something from the assessment, and with my Emperor's Legacy, things should change. According to the information from the Crimson Spirit, the Nightmare Wizard often studies extraordinary knowledge in the library."

The Grand Wizard of the Emperor suddenly paused, as if he had sensed something. His gaze fixed in one direction, seemingly penetrating the limitations of walls, space, and distance to see the target he had locked onto.

It was a man who looked incredibly rough and savage, tall with long black hair flowing in the wind. His yellow wizard robe was covered with a lot of dirt and looked very heavy. He walked step by step in the air, without using any flying magic, but he was able to walk in the void.

His eyes, like the sun, were fixed on the location of the Pillar of Emperor's Reign, and he walked step by step as if measuring the distance, carrying an indomitable momentum; it seemed that nothing in front of him could stop his steps or his direction.

It was the Earth Wizard whom the Black-Hearted Wizard had met before.

Intrigued by the Nightmare Wizard mentioned by the Black Heart Wizard, he felt a surge of fighting spirit and emerged from the Pillar of Humanity to find the Nightmare Wizard and fight him. If he could tear the opponent apart, all the better.

In those burning eyes, there was no trace of human emotion, only instinctive bestiality, madness, and soaring fighting spirit.

Moreover, this fighting spirit continued to increase as they marched on.

It was very strange, and it shocked the many wizards watching from a distance.

They all discovered the existence of the Earth Wizard and noticed his unusual behavior.

They were discussing it with utter shock.

"He's out again, Earth Wizard. Who released this monster? Wasn't he supposed to be asleep, sealed and guarded by the Ancestral Wizard himself inside the Pillar of Humanity?"

"A jinx, this jinx has been born again, frantically seeking out wizards to fight, he's a beast without reason or logic. He's fought evil wizards and demonic soul wizards. Who's next, and which target has he chosen this time?"

"Within the Crimson Society, which other powerful wizards could possibly catch the attention of the Earth Wizard? This monster only fights a single target once; there's no reason for him to fight a second time."

Not only were the number of these mid-to-high-level wizards increasing, but some who had fought against the Earth Wizards before also noticed the anomaly and, upon hearing the news, turned their attention to the scene.

The Earth Wizard's every move seemed to influence most of the Crimson Society.

His past actions were simply too shocking, and everyone knew his purpose and what he was really like—a pure battle maniac. Few people would bother to deal with him.

The Earth element wizard even has the potential to become a taboo among young wizards.

The Earth Wizard's speed was not fast; in fact, it could be said that he was simply walking across the airspace step by step.

However, the unhappiness here is merely a comparison with the perspective of ordinary people.

From a mortal's perspective, the speed of the Earth Wizard is almost at the level of teleportation, even if the teleportation distance is not very far.

"Wait a minute. The direction he's heading seems to be the location of the Pillar of the Supreme Emperor. What is the Earth Wizard going to do? Could it be that he wants to challenge the Supreme Emperor Grand Wizard?"
