Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1161 Black Smoke

woo woo woo...

Never before had Green anticipated the arrival of the Time Storm so much—the most widespread and massive catastrophe in this world of time travel.

The other powerful creatures who had been left behind in this illusory world and were being chased by the ant swarm also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Walk a little further forward."

Green stopped Simba from immediately falling to the ground to avoid the storm. Facing the terrifying time storm ahead, he could vaguely see green life worlds, fire worlds, thunder worlds, ocean worlds, special rule worlds, worlds with day and night and four seasons in balance, extreme rule worlds, and even some distorted spacetime interweavings from the aftermath of the dominant battlefield, like a spacetime meat grinder, forming a chaotic time storm.

Simba followed Green, facing the catastrophic rules of this deep illusion, which was more terrifying than an ant colony. Occasionally, a crack would appear. Although Green had long relied on the Face of Truth to engage in extreme behaviors that outsiders might see as risky, for Green himself, the Face of Truth had become a part of his life journey. He believed in and relied on it, and everything was just ordinary behavior, just like a soaring eagle would never fall to its death as ordinary humans fear.

In a certain field, the two are no longer on the same level, so their perspectives are naturally different!

Following behind Green, Simba was terrified several times by the chaotic spacetime rifts that brushed past him, and wanted to give up. But when he thought about how without Green as a regular food source, living in this terrifying illusory world would be torture, he gritted his teeth and forcefully controlled his body's instinctive desire to escape, and continued to follow.

Closer and closer, almost within a few hundred meters of the inescapable storm of time, Simba even wondered if Green had gone mad, trying to learn from that legendary, bizarre life form how to escape the dimensional esophagus through these storms of time. Just then, Green suddenly roared.

"Get down!"

Simba had been waiting for Green to say those words, and almost the instant Green had the thought, he rushed down.

Roar!

With a roar of the lion king, a pale golden light enveloped his right paw, and under Simba's control, the energy continuously condensed. He then pushed off the ground with both hind legs, creating a ripple that spread outwards, and his figure vanished in an instant.

The next moment, with a loud "boom", a crater hundreds of meters wide was formed on the skeletal ground, followed by a shockwave thousands of meters wide that spread outwards.

The blast wave that approached the side of the Time Storm was almost instantly engulfed and spread into the crater.

On the other side, there was the ant swarm, charging forward as if it would never retreat. Simba witnessed firsthand that just a moment ago, a violent thunder lizard monster, even more powerful than Simba in its prime, fell to the ground because it had dodged the Time Storm too early. After being engulfed by the ant swarm, it only trembled a few times before falling silent again.

Such a terrifying ant swarm disaster, its origins unknown, and its origins unknown, perhaps sealed within a dimensional esophagus by some great being, who chose to sever its connection to reality and banish it forever.

In the very center of the giant crater, Simba looked up and roared urgently, "Quick!"

In a split second between life and death, high in the sky amidst the interplay of light and shadow, a scepter of hope floated before him. Grimm swung his right hand with the Abyss Magic Staff, crackling and sputtering as black arcs of electricity tore through the distorted light in all directions, emitting a high-frequency vibration that stirred restlessness, before vanishing in a flash.

Waaaaaah...

As Green and Simba took refuge inside the smooth, mirror-like pit, a violent storm of light swept overhead. Its terrifying, destructive force made Simba's heart pound. He looked at Green and couldn't help but complain, "Do we really have to do something so dangerous?"

Green's tricolor eyes looked at Simba.

"No, this is not danger, but rather avoiding danger as much as possible. So-called danger is nothing more than an uncertain and unknown future, and this level of judgment is not dangerous to me at all."

As he spoke, Green looked up through the smooth, mirror-like pit. A large amount of bone fragments were filling the pit again. With a "squeaking" sound, a small, palm-sized black ant cautiously slid its broken body into the pit.

"They actually managed to withstand the storm of time for a while and are still alive?"

Amidst Green's astonishment, he snatched the strange ant, now only its head and half its torso, from among the numerous bone fragments that had fallen into the pit. His palm automatically activated its ivory armor mode, with bone spikes bursting out from its grayish-white bone armor, attracting Simba's attention.

"You can actually transform into your true form?"

"What determines a wizard's power can only ever be knowledge, including the true form."

As Green answered, suddenly, with a "crack," his left arm, protected by ivory armor, was instantly bitten off by the powerful mandibles on the ant's head. In pain, Green gasped. After the mutation surgery, countless tentacles connected and were reassembled into one.

The strange ant, now missing half its body, continued to fall and was buried beneath the numerous skeletons in the pit.

"What a terrifying life form! I wonder what kind of being the queen ant in this ant colony is! But I suppose it's just a low-level intelligence, following biological instincts. Otherwise, it wouldn't have failed to avoid such a terrifying time storm, causing the ant colony to perish like this."

"Hiss... Compared to him, you are the truly terrifying monster. Don't wizards have any weaknesses?"

The Lion King witnessed Green's transformation spell and was even more amazed by the wizard.

"Weakness? A wizard's weakness is the unknown."

……

As the storm of time gradually subsided, amidst the crashing sounds of bones colliding, Green and Simba emerged from the crater.

Beneath the Face of Truth, the three-colored eyes looked around. Under the power of the Time Storm, even the terrifying ant swarm that had been sealed into the illusion of the Flowing Light Recall from some unknown world was completely shattered. As far as the eye could see, there was still only desolation.

As expected of the digestive system of the endless world, the spacetime sealing technique pursued by wizards!

"What is that?"

As Simba exclaimed in surprise, Green also noticed the strangeness immediately. Hundreds of thousands of meters away on the skeletal ground, a black column of smoke shot into the sky, seemingly a completely new rule never seen before in this illusory world.

Splash splash splash splash...

Near the column of smoke, a giant bull emerged from the rubble, its aura as a level six creature clearly visible. After glancing at Green and Simba, it was immediately drawn to the black column of smoke a kilometer away.

"Moo..."

Suddenly, before Green and Simba could react, the level six Lemurian giant let out a hysterical scream of terror, as if something extremely horrific had happened, and desperately tried to escape from the pit, wanting to get away from the black column of smoke rising from the ground.

However, halfway through, the giant bull's body began to turn into thick black smoke and disappear.

Right before Green and Simba's eyes, the Level 6 creature, which had just escaped death, vanished into thin air.
