Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1162 Ash World

"Are you crazy? Get out of here right now!"

Although I have never encountered such a bizarre phenomenon before, after spending a long time in the dimensional esophagus, you may encounter all sorts of strange things. There are many things that are more absurd, terrifying, dangerous, and bizarre than this, and you can never judge them by the rules of the real world.

Simba's millennia-long journey through the dimensional food passages taught him that anything that happened here could cost him his life, causing him to be consumed by the endless world.

However, Simba witnessed the giant bull monster being completely vaporized and disappearing because of the towering black smoke column, yet Green did not leave, leading Simba to believe that Green was about to go mad again.

In fact, Green is really going crazy.

At this moment, Grimm's perception of the face of truth was constantly shifting and merging, completely different from the terrifying appearance that Simba perceived.

"Ashes? A world of ashes!"

This is actually a terrifying illusory world that is opposed to the Seven-Colored Sealing Technique, which is known as the strongest sealing technique in the wizarding world, and the Seven-Colored Deep Illusory World.

The Ash World is a virtual world on a deeper level than the Forgotten World. In the opposition between the colorful beauty and the ashes of destruction, it belongs to the dark side.

Unexpectedly, this powerful virtual world, which is on the same level as the world of Flowing Light Retrospection, has achieved a brief connection with the world of Flowing Light Retrospection!

A wisp of ash-like aura, like dust floating in the sky, mingled with the greyish aura of the high heavens where light seemed to linger.

Therefore, the aura of ash is far more than just the towering black column of smoke on the surface; it is spreading outwards in wisps of illusory ash, pulling everything that comes into contact with the aura of ash into the ash world.

The giant bull monster that was just now did not actually die; it was instead pulled into the illusory world of ashes!

The Ashes Illusionary World is at the same level as the Flowing Light Retrospective World, but it is more dangerous than the Flowing Light Retrospective Illusionary World!

After all, the Flowing Light Retrospection is relatively "peaceful" when there is no dimensional war.

At this moment, in Green's perception, these deep illusory worlds were like the stomach of an endless world, undisturbed yet grinding away, trying to digest Green's indigestible food as quickly as possible and turn it into nutrients to replenish the core reality world.

Even if Green's existence is merely about surviving here, it is still a struggle against the instincts of the entire endless world!

Although, as long as they cannot escape from this dimensional food channel and the flow of light back, they will ultimately be unable to escape the fate of being completely digested by the endless world.

"Hiss... Don't panic. You should leave here first. I need to try to understand the nature of this ash and black smoke. Perhaps this will be another way to leave the dimensional esophagus."

To Simba's astonishment, Green actually walked towards the towering column of smoke.

The various powerful world lords who had been chased by the terrifying ant swarm had lost several of them in the combined attack of the Time Storm and the ant swarm. At this moment, only four sporadically emerged from the land of bones. Upon seeing the strange black smoke phenomenon, they all became wary of it and scattered in all directions.

"You bastard, you'll die from your own madness one day. If all wizards were like you, they would all be wiped out sooner or later!"

Simba roared and strode away into the distance.

Grimm chuckled softly at Simba's words. If one doesn't even have the courage to explore the unknown, how can one talk about the path to true spirituality? Sometimes, it is precisely because of knowledge's understanding and control of endless rules that the more powerful a wizard is, the better he can understand his own position. Humility and madness are only contrasted between each other.

Moreover, Grimm wasn't entirely ignorant of this world of ashes!

As for leaving this illusory world through the world of ashes and returning to the illusory world, although it is theoretically possible, under normal circumstances, no wizard would choose to do so.

After all, although as equally illusory worlds, the difficulty of leaving must be the same, the danger of the Ash World is incomparable to that of the Flowing Light Retrospective World before the Dimensional War.

Step by step, Green approached the area of ​​the faintest ash aura that was spreading and floating in the air, as perceived by the Surface of Truth.

The reason why the giant bull monster was not tainted by the black soot before being dragged into the ash world was because its body exchanged internal and external energies with the spreading ash aura, thus becoming tainted by the ash aura and becoming part of the illusory rules of ash. That's why it was dragged into the illusory world after turning into smoke.

These gases are difficult to distinguish, existing only as a kind of illusory, destructive element.

For a Stigmata Wizard, achieving absolute control over the elements is merely a basic instinct!

Furthermore, as a medium for self-sealing, Green's Robe of Appearance not only seals the leakage of his own energy, but if Green needs it, it can also be used to seal the erosion of the internal body by external auras. With this double defense, as long as Green is not directly contaminated by those destructive ashes, close observation will not present any major problems.

At that moment, Green was simply doing something he was absolutely certain of, which, to outsiders, appeared to be a crazy gamble.

This is the difference in the understanding of rules and regulations.

"The reason why the Wizarding World has mastered the Seven-Colored Spacetime Sealing Technique but not the Ash Sealing Technique is that, like the power of annihilation, illusory ash is an uncontrollable energy. The very act of summoning and creating them is harmful to both the summoner and the creator. The difference is that the Tower of Annihilation has the property of annihilating all things, while illusory ash can corrupt living beings."

At this moment, Green gazed at the wisps of thin aura emanating from the towering black column of smoke, yet a strange joy appeared on his face.

"But if in this deep, illusory world, there is a neutralized aura of ash, a mixture of ash rules and flowing light rules, which can be collected using non-sacred matter..."

Muttering to himself, Green used the Face of Truth as a medium, focusing intently and carefully maintaining his distance from the black column of smoke. In a flash, three brownish-yellow gelatinous objects appeared in his hand.

This is the resin from the World Tree that sealed the level six peak creature, Meshesa!

After studying the Eye of Meshesa as a specimen, Grimm traded the still-active skeleton to the Bone Demon in exchange for a large amount of resources. As for the remaining resin and amber, Grimm used most of it to make amber rings, which became a magical artifact that combined sealing, binding, and defense, and nurtured them within his body as an ancient giant Chi Demon.

A small portion, however, was kept by Green for research.

Now that Green's research on this precious material is basically complete, it is the perfect time to use it as a carrier to seal the mixed gas of the Ash Illusionary Rule and the Flowing Light Illusionary Rule.

Amidst expectant gazes, these gelatinous substances, after being coated and soaked in a special solution by Green, began to slowly deform...

After a few hourglasses.

Green kept moving backward to maintain a safe distance from the black smoke; otherwise, if he were directly contaminated by the ash aura, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In the distance, a level-five creature caught a glimpse of Grimm standing near the black smoke and fled in terror, thinking he was a terrifying life form that had broken into some virtual world.

Thus, after several hourglasses of effort, Green sustained several ash capsules.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the most terrifying poison!
