Wizard's Journey

Chapter 549 Tedious Experiments

Green's experiments in finding materials that could bear the power of annihilation required one step after another.

Basic materials, basic energy, complex synthetic materials, complex synthetic energy, unrecorded unknown materials, strange energy, mysterious power...

The basic materials and basic energy are the simplest parts.

Even so, Grimm's basic material screening experiments before the Flame Soul World set out for war still lasted for decades!

The number of complex synthetic materials is thousands or tens of thousands of times that of basic materials. To complete all the experiments would take tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

What's more, there's also the complex synthesis of energy?

The value of these artificially synthesized materials and synthetic energies is several times, even dozens of times, greater than that of basic materials and energies. Furthermore, unrecorded, unknown materials, strange energies, and mysterious powers require even more luck…

Even with ample resources, this experiment is simply impossible to complete within the ten thousand years that a formal wizard possesses to "perceive time"!

Even for a level three archmage's "half-step time" and a holy-marked wizard's "true time," it's impossible!

Although the power of annihilation is more powerful and more difficult to study than other higher energies, it is not hard to see that the research on higher energies that must be completed to achieve a Saint Mark does indeed require a lot of hard work and... a bit of luck!

Three months later, a wizard from the Purple Gold Fragrance family delivered all the specially made basic energy crystals to Green.

Alright, let's continue the experiment on annihilating energy!

Green did not immediately experiment with these basic energy crystals, but instead experimented with some "special" energy he had collected.

First and foremost, naturally, is the source of darkness!

This originates from the frozen throne beneath the Dark Destroyed Imperial Capital of the Flame Soul World, a mysterious power that the Flame God Wu Shi once communicated with.

By mastering the source of darkness, one can easily roam within it, transforming into darkness itself, perfectly concealing oneself in terms of light perception, befriending dark creatures, and gaining their innate dependence and protection.

Green opened his mouth and spat out a black crystal core.

This is the crystal core of the Wrathful Flame Giant, which has transformed into the Black Devouring Flame Soul Giant after its second mutation. It is surrounded by mysterious dark energy that devours the incoming light.

Green's hand seemed to reach into darkness.

It is precisely for this reason that the Black Flame Soul Giant, as a Grimm-like elemental being, entered the Flame Soul Sword Path with the "Black Flame Devouring Curse," possessed the Flame Soul Sword Blade, and became a higher-level witchcraft that Grimm could directly rival a second-level formal elemental wizard!

Instead of summoning the Black Flame Soul Giant, Grimm took out a special crystal bottle and collected some of the dark source swirling around the Black Flame Soul Giant's crystal core.

After swallowing the crystal core again, Green looked at the crystal bottle.

The source of darkness within the crystal bottle was pitch black, utterly solidified and stable, yet it seemed to have lost its ability to absorb light. This was completely different from the annihilating power, which absorbed light from all directions to annihilate it.

This is true darkness; though it is a mysterious force, it has already approached the natural rules of the endless world.

After a while.

Green placed the small bottle of Dark Source into the high-concentration energy gel of the 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder', waiting for the gel to gradually transform from liquid to solid.

The energy test subjects that Grimm collected in the Flame Soul World were not only the source of darkness.

A deformed fish covered in blood-red, fleshy tumors was taken out of the World Laboratory by Grimm. The fish was about one meter long, with a sucker on its long tongue. It was cold, cruel, and extremely vicious.

This strange fish, Grimm, and Kretia discovered the abyssal fish creatures of the Flame Soul World before they planned to infiltrate the Locust People's city to gather information about the Abyssal Cataclysm.

Crackling sounds!

A black arc of electricity shot from the strange fish toward Green.

Green was prepared. After he met the black arc of electricity with one hand, a special crystal, only the size of a fist, appeared.

A short while later, under Green's exquisite energy control, the black electric arcs were completely absorbed into the crystal.

"Hmph, it's done. This black arc of electricity that disrupts cell connections and causes sluggish reactions is quite unique. No wonder it's an abyssal creature."

Green then placed this small, special crystal, which was sealed with black electric arcs, into the high-concentration energy gel of another 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation and Recording Instrument', waiting for the energy gel to gradually transform from liquid to solid.

During this time, the first high-concentration gel block containing the Dark Source 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder' had completely solidified into a solid.

"Let's see if the Source of Darkness is truly a vessel for the power of annihilation!"

As Green fully activated the "Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder," amidst a deafening hum of energy collision, the ground began to shake with a "boom, boom," and the lights inside the Demon Hunter Castle began to distort in irregular shapes as they were sucked into the crystal vessel.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An indescribable sense of oppression emanated from the crystal vessel.

Once every eighteenth of a second, the instrument underwent fifty-four high-intensity repulsive energy collisions in a short period of time, and a ball of pitch-black flame appeared.

After the 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Tracking Recorder' returned to normal, Green sighed in disappointment as he looked at the empty device.

"It seems that the source of darkness is not the vessel for the power of annihilation."

Although he had made preparations, Green felt extremely regretful that the mysterious power on which he had placed high hopes turned out to be like other basic materials, leaving nothing behind after the power of annihilation.

It seems to have reached some specific time.

Green instinctively took out the broken branch with the Thunder Pattern and observed it for a moment using the dynamic vision of the Face of Truth before placing it on the experimental table.

The secret of the broken branch is about to be revealed thanks to Green's centuries of effort.

What exactly is the rule behind this stable and harmless power of thunder?

As one's body gradually aligns with this rule, it will attract a new thunderous rule, transforming one's body into a material similar to a broken branch. What kind of change will this bring?

After hundreds of years, nearly a thousand years of effort, Green is finally about to reap the rewards.

Taking out his "Experimental Notes on the Power of Annihilation," Green wrote down the mysterious energy of the source of darkness, then drew a red cross next to it and made a brief note.

Without much hesitation, Green began placing new high-concentration energy gel blocks into the empty 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder'. Then, Green even put an ice spinning top into it!

This is a foolish experiment that only ancient wizards would conduct.

Instead of searching for answers in basic calculation formulas, they kept experimenting with different materials, like gambling, and then looked at the results.

The Wizarding World seems to be much stronger than the Ancient Wizarding World, having made great progress in many basic materials. However, in terms of truly advanced knowledge, the Wizarding World has not undergone a qualitative change.

At this moment, the high-concentration energy block of the 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder' containing the black electric arcs of the abyssal monster fish had solidified. With trepidation, Green also activated the 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Observation Recorder'.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst a deafening roar of colliding energy, the ground began to tremble with a rumbling sound, and the lights inside the Demon Hunter Castle started to distort in irregular shapes.

Three seconds later, after the 'Eternal Annihilation Energy Tracking Recorder' returned to calm, Green had already gotten used to the emptiness inside the device.

"It seems that this black arc of electricity is not a vessel for the power of annihilation either..."
