Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1220 Maintenance Rules

Three hundred years later.

"Gathering place of the Gates of Penetration, Wizard King atop the Nine Peaks, I am the Forgotten One, Lord of the Second Peak!"

Beneath the summit of the Nine Mountains, a powerful life form looked up and roared. From all directions, hundreds of exiles secretly gathered and spied on them, representing almost all the power of the gathering place of the Gate of Penetration.

Among these exiles were some older exiles who had witnessed the great battle in the Spider Silk Underworld Palace a century ago, as well as the other seven peak masters. But most of them were new faces, constantly being exposed to the myth of the Wizard King who had been obliterated at the summit of the Nine Mountains.

The fourth peak master, Starfire Elf, his eyes flashing, his ghostly fire body swaying, gazed at the Forgotten Ones standing and looking up at the Nine Peaks. Beside him, the Hillstone Bear King was still chewing the soil with a "crunch, crunch" sound, his black crystal eyes looking into the distance.

"The Nine Peaks Master's Rules have been in place for a full epoch since the Gate of Penetration, and no Second Peak Master has ever dared to challenge the Annihilation Wizard King. Can this Forsaken One... succeed?"

The question posed by the Stone Bear King of the Hill expressed the sentiments of all the exiles and peak masters present.

"How is that possible? You saw the spacetime sealing technique from ten thousand years ago. Even the Demon Feather Phoenix, whose power had been amplified to that extent, could only be sealed by it. I think the power of this Annihilation Wizard King of the Nine Peaks is comparable to any of the three Kings of the previous generation of Predators."

The Starfire Sprite immediately rejected the Hillstone Bear King's question.

After a pause, the Starfire Elf King continued, "And as you have seen, for an entire era, including the three thousand years since the first appearance of the Annihilation Wizard King at the gathering place of the Gate of Penetration, he has almost never appeared in front of anyone. He is like an existence without desires or social interaction, but his power is increasing day by day. I even suspect that he is actually a Heaven-Shaking Monster, because the Overlord is chasing a terrifying life form that has autonomously fled to the Dimensional Esophagus."

"Indeed, given the terrifying aura that the Demon Feather Phoenix displayed back then, this abandoned one is far inferior."

The Hillstone Bear King stopped chewing the soil and said leisurely, "Moreover, before the final battle with the Demon Feather Phoenix, Thunder Eye, Ancient Heart, Clockwork Puppet, Nether Spider King, and Withered Whisperer were likely all slaughtered by this Annihilation Wizard King first..."

It is truly hard to imagine that Green's mystery, as passed down orally among these exiles, has been depicted as such a terrifying existence.

Slaughter has no meaning in the dimensional esophagus, because it is the digestion rule of the endless world system.

At the foot of the Nine Sacred Mountains.

A pure white plaster-like humanoid creature with a nose, eyes, ears, mouth, and eyebrows—all the facial features were present. It had an elegant and agile physique, but no clothes. A layer of semi-transparent spiritual will, like a thin film, covered its surface. The only exception was a honeycomb-like breathing mask over its mouth, from which it exhaled wisps of white gas.

The Abandoned One looked up at the summit of the Nine Peaks, feeling the oppressive and terrifying aura emanating from the Nine Peaks Rule-Maker, the Annihilation Wizard King, but he felt no fear, only endless challenges and boundless desire.

Since arriving at the Gate of Penetration and accepting the rules of Nine Peaks, the myth of the Annihilation Wizard King has been constantly echoing in the ears of the Forsaken, as if it were the myth of the entire Gate of Penetration, unattainable and out of reach.

The Nine Peaks, symbolizing status and power, are all higher than the previous ones. All exiles can challenge the master of the Ninth Peak at any time, so the pressure they exert is immense.

Thus, the Nine Peak Masters had no choice but to attempt to challenge the Eighth Peak, and the Eighth Peak, in order to avoid the endless challenges from the frequently changing Ninth Peak, had to challenge the Seventh Peak.

The higher the peak, the greater the peace and power one can attain—this is the rule of the Nine Peaks!

Based on this rule, Green enjoyed his continuous progress in the long years of peace. This was a rule he had made for himself. To break this rule, one must first advance and grow according to the Nine Peaks rule set by Green, defeat Green, and then talk about taking over.

However, since this rule was designed by Green himself, how easy is it to follow the rule, grow step by step, and then defeat the rule-maker?

One of the macroscopic differences between Level 6 and Level 7 beings, between the Lord of the World and the Endless Ruler, lies in this!

This harvest of the power of the transparent rules is comparable to the Light of the Balance Lever, the Great Thousand World Ball, the Page of Destiny, the Gate of Dimensional Gap Sealing Technique, the Bloodline of the Light of Hope, and the Body of the Abyss Demon!

All eyes are on us.

Breaking the rules and myths, becoming the abandoned one who becomes the new king of the Gate of Penetration, the abandoned one roars with endless desire.

"Whoever defeats you and obtains the throne of the First Peak of the Nine Mountains will enjoy all the rights of the Gathering Place of the Gate of Penetration! I will defeat you, I will take all your rights, I will establish new rules of revenge for the Gate of Penetration, and lead all the exiles here to launch a vengeful attack on the Gathering Place of the Mysterious Cycle!"

The Abandoned One roared, its desire being to break the rules of the Nine Peaks of Green and launch a full-scale revenge attack on a gathering place called the Mysterious Reincarnation.

I wonder what its past was like.

"You lowly, ignorant, and weak being, how dare you disturb my peace of ten thousand years and attempt to break the rules of my Nine Peaks? Hehehehe, your corpse will remain here as an eternal warning against daring to challenge my majesty."

Attempting to break the rules will inevitably result in fierce resistance from the rule-makers, and will serve as a warning to future generations.

Before everyone's eyes, on the summit of the Nine Mountains, which had been eternally tranquil for ten thousand years, a terrifying and awe-inspiring power emanated. Within hundreds of thousands of meters, light and darkness intertwined, twisted, and converged. At the center of that origin of light and darkness, a vast and boundless aura strolled through the air, step by step.

I was horrified to see that the intensity of this aura was even stronger than I remembered!

The Annihilation Wizard King truly lives up to his reputation as the creator of the rules of the Nine Peaks of the Gate of Penetration and the master of the Nine Mountains!

Staring in stunned disbelief, the white plaster-clad Forgotten One found it hard to believe that he had defeated the Second Peak Master hundreds of years ago. This time, relying on the burst of a refined energy stone condensed within his body, he had thought he was qualified to compete.

However, at this moment...

This overwhelming and boundless power, this irresistible and destructive force pressing down head-on, is as if being squeezed by endless elements. Every breath is so precious. The Annihilation Wizard King and the Second Peak Master at the summit of the Nine Mountains are now on completely different levels!

It is not just revered as a myth, it is the creator of myths!

Rumble...

In just a dozen breaths, several vast craters were left on the land of bones. After the Forgotten One was crushed by Grimm's irresistible power, the figure of light and darkness intertwined and disappeared, soaring into the sky and returning to the experimental cabin at the top of the Nine Mountains.

"Let future challengers take heed."

A stern and indifferent, calm will pervades the exiles gathered at the portal.

The challengers of the other eight peaks do not face a life-or-death struggle; only the rule-makers, in order to uphold the authority of the rules, must fight to the death!

Otherwise, it would be the beginning of lax rules.
