Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1194 The World of Shadows

Fifteen years later.

Even without communicating with other creatures, the occasional and increasingly frequent traces of biological activity on the ground, untouched by the storms of time, indicate that this direction does indeed contain a gathering place similar to the Coffin of Hope. The Devil Crocodile Devourer was not deceiving itself.

The journey shouldn't be too far.

Uh...

Above the cave, a storm of light and shadow raged. Beneath the sunken eye sockets of the Devil Crocodile Devourer's thick scales, pale yellow eyes quietly watched Green, who was constantly recording experimental results in his experimental notebook amidst the distorted light and darkness.

Under a microscope, dozens of blood samples are arranged and numbered.

Although Green was unwilling to stay in the Dimensional Escape for several eras, and then, after becoming one of the eternal old monsters, break through the Dimensional Escape by defeating the other three Coffin Ascenders and summoning the Coffin of Hope with the Scepter of Hope as the final method, he planned to see the situation in other gathering places, but he also had to make this worst-case scenario plan.

Thus, even if Green's hope of developing the seventh level of wild instinct through the blood of the human ancestor within him is slim, if we take several eras as the base, even the slimmest hope will have a glimmer of hope!

Undeterred, Greene has already planned a considerable number of ultimate experimental projects for the long time he may spend in the dimensional esophagus.

First, there is research in the field of knowledge about the key to life.

Research in the field of genetics, the Key to Life, is not only a prerequisite for the Ancestor of Wizardry's plan, but also a way to break through the second shackles of the Ancestor Transformation after the Light of Hope bloodline witchcraft has reached its limit, in order to prepare for defeating the other coffin ascenders in a one-against-three battle earlier and with greater confidence, and to escape the dimensional esophagus as soon as possible.

Secondly, there is the filling of the Book of Truth.

The Forgotten Truth Space-Time Sealing Technique is not only a powerful space-time sealing technique in the future, but also, as Xiao Ba said, the foundation of the Secondary Lever Sealing Technique. It is a prerequisite for Grimm to be able to perform the Dimensional Gap Sealing Technique without any aftereffects.

This necessitates a significant expansion of the Book of Truth by Grimm to meet the memory material requirements of the dimensional gap sealing technique, which often requires thousands of years.

Furthermore, there are six magical artifacts with different functions, born from the special abilities of the ancient giant Chi Mo.

Extreme Abyss Magic Wand, Nine-Nine Return to One Sword, Nine Towering Mountains, Shadow Alienation Lamp, Soul-Capturing Net, Amber Ring—if Green were truly trapped in the Dimensional Esophagus for several epochs, it would be unimaginable what earth-shattering power these magical artifacts would reach!

Finally, there is the Face of Truth and the Magic Wand of Truth Lever.

The dimensional esophagus confines powerful life forms from various world communities across endless universes; being sealed here is itself a symbol of strength.

Some of these special life forms possess entirely new perceptual abilities that are worthy of Green's extensive research. The significance of the face of truth lies in discerning the gap between appearance and truth, which requires doing everything possible to continuously fill the gap with new perceptual systems.

However, if the Face of Truth wants to become a supreme relic like the foundation of civilization, in addition to these numerous scattered new sensory systems, it also needs something similar to the Eye of the World that can cause it to undergo a completely new qualitative change.

Therefore, the path to truth still has a long way to go.

As for the Truth Lever Magic Wand, it was extremely fortunate that the Balance Lever Light and the Great Thousand World Ball that Grimm obtained in the Dimensional Digestive System were the perfect basic materials for making the wand head and shaft.

However, there is still a long way to go before it can be assembled into a supreme relic with profound cultural significance, especially the supreme relic that Grimm desires to rival the Staff of Destiny.

At present, Green only possesses two treasures: the Light of the Balance Lever Rules and the Great Thousand World.

Green was quite satisfied with the balance of light as the staff body, but the staff head, which determines the nature and attributes of the magic staff, was not perfect in Green's mind. As for how to connect the two and add the function of the dimensional gap rune imprint, that was also a huge challenge.

Furthermore, in Grimm's mind, there was an even more advanced plan: to combine the vast world with the infinite unknown fate of Grimm's Fairy Tales, and to attempt to complete its dimensional creation function, creating a brand new box within the endless world to fight against the higher-dimensional existence outside the box!

A series of grand plans were in Green's mind, and he was taking steps toward them one by one.

At this moment, the Sky Crocodile Devourer, who was sheltering from the storm of time in the cave, was just a passerby silently watching Grimm's progress on his long wizarding journey.

As the cacophony of the time storm overhead gradually subsided, Green put away his experimental equipment.

"Let's go, we should be there in no time."

As he spoke, Green flew out of the cave first.

However, just as the Devil Crocodile Devourer was about to give chase, suddenly, Green, who had just emerged from the cave, stopped abruptly. The tense atmosphere instantly caused the Devil Crocodile Devourer to let out a terrified scream and fall back into the depths of the cave.

With a whoosh, the Dark Source Flame blazed up, and Grimm's expression turned solemn!

"The illusory world of shadows?"

At this moment, the three-colored eyes beneath the Face of Truth of Grimm looked in all directions. After this storm of time, all directions had already become connected with a certain illusory world, and the rules had changed drastically!

Twisted wisps of black smoke gathered in mid-air and then dissipated, forming various shapes. What caught Green's attention even more were the shadows that clung to the ground and disappeared in a flash.

"Roar! Great Annihilation Wizard, save me!"

Inside the cave, the Devil Crocodile Devourer roared in terror.

In the relatively dark cave, countless blurry and distorted shadows could be vaguely seen attacking the Devil Crocodile Devourer, resembling squads of ferocious soldiers.

Judging from the Devil Crocodile Devourer's constant screams and its fragmented shadow, it is suffering damage from some kind of illusory rule.

This is a bizarre and illusory set of rules, much like those of the Ash World!

"If it really is the Shadow of Darkness..."

Green muttered to himself, then suddenly beckoned, and the purest source of darkness, unmixed with the flames of the Flame Soul, surged forth, rushing towards the howling, roaring Terror Crocodile Devourer within the cave.

Almost the instant the source of the darkness descended, the roar of the Devouring Crocodile ceased, staring in terror at the fleeting, distorted shadows that flashed by in all directions.

"Great Annihilation Wizard, what, what is this?!"

This entirely new and unknown creature sent a chill down the spine of the Devil Crocodile Devourer.

The world is vast and boundless, full of wonders. I used to think that I could be invincible with my sturdy scales and powerful bite force, but that was so naive.

"This should be the Shadow World, a deeper illusory world connected to the Mirror of Darkness. They will devour our shadows, and then we will be completely pulled into the Shadow World by the rules, becoming one of them and becoming a new Shadow."

The Dark Mirror Stigmata Wizard of the Seventh Ring Holy Tower perished alongside the Black Sota Stigmata Wizard beneath the Infernal Furnace of King Ebadan.

Grimm's research on the Shadow of Darkness stemmed from his connection with the Dark Mirror Saint Mark Wizard.

"But don't worry, these sources of darkness can perfectly protect us from being detected by them. Let's go, let's get out of here."
