Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1027 Shocking Change!

Three years later.

The day when the seventh-ring True Spirit Wizard of the Ancient Dragon World will use the "Flame Soul True Scripture" to sacrifice his soul to open the gate to the world is drawing ever closer. Therefore, many Saint Mark Wizards in the Netherfire World have not gone out on missions and are waiting quietly.

Under the guidance of the old witch Wei Lide, Green is working hard to complete the Flame Soul Ten Thousand Head Bird growth plan, striving to advance to level five as soon as possible.

Two trusted wizards, Lu Lianman and Sachi, were dispatched by Grimm to the Wizarding World to conduct transactions, while Grimm himself worked to facilitate a deal with the Dead Soul Saint Mark wizards of District 77 in the Southern Continent within the Netherfire World.

"What, have you come up with your terms?"

In the hands of the Dead Soul Stigmata Wizard, there is an extremely important item that Grimm can use to effectively promote the growth of the Enigma Bending Bird: the Heart of Ketami!

This Ketami is a renowned Dark Wizard with Holy Marks in the Wizarding World, possessing remarkable achievements in the field of chimeras and extraordinary expertise in the research of artificial life.

Ketami created two similar life forms in his lifetime, such as the Flame Soul Ten Thousand-Headed Bird, through the process of refining corpses and synthesizing arrays. He was on par with the Old Black Demon who created the Black Demon Blood in the field of synthetic beast research.

This powerful dark wizard gradually declined and died after suffering dozens of severe soul injuries. In his final moments, as his soul was about to dissipate, he chose to merge himself into the corpse-refining array...

This is a mainstream legend in the Wizarding Continent. However, through the old witch Vilid, Green actually heard that the heart of this powerful dark wizard, which had been fused into the corpse-refining array after his death, was in the hands of this level five dead soul holy mark wizard. Unbelievable, he immediately made a request to meet and personally examined the heart of Ketami.

That's right, a treasure that can have an extraordinary effect on the growth of chimeras!

Now, thanks to Grin's decades of dedicated cultivation, the number of Grin's Flame Soul Bird Heads has grown to 238. Eighteen more are needed to help Grin complete the structural transformation of the Stone of Original Sin of Annihilation and leap forward to become a Level 5 Saint Mark Wizard.

Originally, according to Gringu's estimate, even if the transactions between Sachi and Lulianman went smoothly, the two items would still be a bit short of being enough to make the Flame Soul Ten Thousand-Headed Bird grow to 256 heads. But if it were this Ketami's heart...

"Hehehe, let me tell you, my young master is determined to have that heart. Look at this."

As Little Eight spoke on Green's shoulder, Green opened his palm, and the Taro Man, which had been compressed by the spatial cage, appeared. After Green removed the restraints, the Taro Man's body rapidly expanded to a height of two meters. It looked slightly curious about its surroundings and stood motionless beside Green.

"This...this is..."

The Death Soul Saint Mark Wizard's pupils contracted as he stared intently at the taro-shaped figure, taking a long time to ascertain the origin of this world's ruler.

"A soul slave at the level of a world lord!?"

Beneath the veil of truth, Grimm smiled confidently and said in a low, husky voice, "That's right! This is an unexpected find from one of my demon-hunting expeditions. Even among fourth-level world lords, this taro-man is by no means weak. I believe it will be immensely beneficial to you, whether for research or as an assistant clone. In the wizarding world, apart from those true spirit wizards who created and protected the world, how many people possess such a world lord slave?"

The taro man, who had always been used to guard the Abyss Laboratory, was forced by Grimm to do his best to improve his strength and protect himself during the War of Civilizations. Although he was extremely reluctant, he still chose to use him for trade.

As expected, this time the Death Soul Saint Mark Wizard fell silent.

The beard, like black smoke possessing a will to think, was stroked between the pale, weeping, and slender fingers of the Death Soul Saint Mark Wizard. A strange green gem was embedded in the black cloak, like a cat's eye in the night, eerie and ominous.

After a long pause, the old wizard gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, deal!"

At this moment, the two met in an icy sea area between the Northern and Southern Continents. The drifting Netherfire Wraiths were quite powerful, some of which had already advanced to Level 1 existences, like clouds filling the sky, invisible and intangible, passing through the snow-capped mountains and land.

However, at that moment, the instant the Death Soul Saint Mark Wizard took out the Heart of Ketami, it was as if a powerful black hole appeared. Within hundreds of meters, the countless Netherfire Wraiths flying around screamed and were sucked into this black hole. Their hearts pounded, and the dense power of human despair permeated the air, making Grimm feel a chill in his heart.

Green's outstretched hand remained frozen in mid-air.

"What an intoxicating surge of will! Even after so many years of his soul's dissipation, the remaining trace of his will is still so chilling. If that Black Witch King hadn't absorbed the power of despair from all the Black Witch humans and the Holy Marks of the Black Domain, perhaps this Ketami would have already ascended to the level of a True Spirit Wizard of the Black Domain. What a pity..."

The Death Soul Stigmata Wizard reached out and held the heart that was beating incessantly.

"Don't forget to expel the despairing power of humanity inside, or you will become a black wizard from touching the rules of the Elemental Tower. Also, the deeply rooted fragments of will inside can be cleansed with the power of time, or you can find a stronger will to destroy them."

With a spit, a flame of holy soul appeared in Grimm's mouth. Grimm had taken a considerable risk in this transaction. If someone were to use this holy flame, which was enslaving the Taro Man, as life information to curse Grimm, the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, Grimm specially prepared some fate contracts, requiring the Death Soul Saint Mark Wizard to completely destroy Grimm's life information after the Taro Man's original soul was enslaved and transferred to half of it.

Grin, the Tower of Annihilation, and the Death Soul Saint Mark Wizard, each obtained what they desired.

The taro man was desperately clutching his head, convulsing and spasming incessantly, looking as if he were in excruciating pain.

"Waaah, little taro, you go with him for now. Don't worry, when Eighth Master has the ability, he will definitely redeem you. Right now, everything is for the better evolution of Grimmon. I'm sorry to have to sacrifice you. Go in peace."

Hachi flapped its wings, looking reluctant to leave; it was clearly Hachi who had come up with the idea.

"Hahaha, Tower of Oblivion, happy trade!"

Urged on by the Death Soul Saint Mark Wizard, the Taro Man continued to swell and grow larger, transforming into a towering behemoth nearly a thousand meters tall. Then, the old wizard sat on a vine and happily flew towards the southern continent.

At the same time, a black flame flashed on Green's little finger, and the Flame Soul Ten Thousand-Headed Bird blotted out the sky. Its hundreds-of-meters-long body spread its wings and carried Little Eight Green rapidly towards the Northern Continent.

a few days later.

Seven blood-red full moons were already visible, but the fortress base was still some distance away when the Green Crystal Ball sent an urgent communication request from the lightning clouds.

"The Tower of Annihilation, something's happened! Emergency assembly!"

The panicked look on the lightning cloud made Green's expression turn serious. The time for the "Flame Soul True Scripture" to open the gate to the world was getting closer and closer, and Green had long felt the unease in his heart. The more he feared something bad would happen, the more trouble would come.

"What's wrong?"

Green tried to keep his voice calm as he asked in a low voice.

"One and a half hourglasses later, the spacetime power of the Netherfire World was completely cut off."

Beneath the surface of truth, Grimm's tri-colored eyes narrowed!

"Could it be a special rule of this world?"

Rumble...

The immense pressure in his chest made it almost impossible to breathe. The crystal ball in Green's hand shattered with a "bang." After a shrill cry, a portion of the Flame Soul Thousand-Headed Bird's body, which was hundreds of meters long, suddenly disintegrated. Green and Xiao Ba stared blankly at the distant sky.

The oppressive aura emanating from the sixth region of the Eastern Continent...
