Wizard's Journey

Chapter 741 The Exiles (Part Six)

Newly promoted Abyss Kings usually face numerous challenges.

As the power of this Abyss King gradually became known and recognized, fewer and fewer challengers emerged. Eventually, after the Abyss King demonstrated overwhelming power befitting his status, it was normal that no one dared to challenge him for hundreds of years.

Thus, only when another Abyss King faces the same problem, and the two extremely powerful beings fight each other, will it be possible for a new ruler of the Wizarding World to be born through the rules of the Abyss Gladiator Tournament!

Green's so-called "King of the Abyss" is nothing more than the King of the Abyss in this small Pangu Abyss. Compared to the one-star, two-star, three-star, four-star, and five-star Abysses, he is almost negligible. However, the challenge rules for the King of the Abyss reflected in him are the same.

Of course, this Abyss King was not recognized by the rules of the Wizarding World at all; he was merely self-proclaimed.

It is unknown whether Agmond, who displayed unparalleled power due to the mechanical battle with Holmz, will be able to face challenges from other Abyss Kings or powerful beings that have attracted the attention of the world's will for hundreds of years.

Compared to the torment and suffering Agamund faced, Grin was undoubtedly in the same situation Agamund had been in during the first few decades after ascending to the throne of the Abyss King, with a constant stream of challengers!

Over the past thirty years, Green has fought seventy-nine battles, large and small. Of these, sixty-one challengers were killed on the spot, fourteen left after handing over a large amount of wealth, and only four escaped after failing to complete their challenges.

"The eightieth."

Green's body naturally elongated, and unlocking his first layer of wild instincts became as easy as breathing, no longer placing any burden on his body.

In fact, if Green wanted to, he could maintain the state of having his first level of wild instincts activated without any problem.

Wielding the Bloodstained Sword, Grimm transformed into a blur and charged towards the giant abyss centipede, initiating yet another fierce battle.

Over the years, Green has gradually adapted to the life-and-death struggles and evolutionary breakthroughs of abyssal creatures, and has benefited greatly from the frequent battles. With the triple enhancement of life-and-death struggle breakthroughs, magnetic field circulation, and male poison body tempering, Green's basic physique is growing at an astonishing speed.

Half an hourglass time later.

Unlocking the second layer of Wild Instinct Ivory Armor, Grimm, now a three-meter-tall bone-spiked giant, stood atop the corpse of the Abyss Giant Centipede. The giant centipede's poisonous gas attacks posed a limited threat to Grimm, so even in his ivory armor form, this once-powerful abyssal creature was easily killed by him.

"Gah gah gah! Young master, use it as fertilizer for the Rainbow Fruit Tree. The abyss plants over there are already eutrophic."

As the runes on the Bloodstained Sword fluttered, a small crack suddenly appeared at the tip of the sword, and a large amount of flesh and blood of the giant abyss centipede sealed by the Bloodstained Sword flowed out. A large amount of white smoke rose from the stone slab on the ground, emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

"Um."

After nodding, Green suddenly asked, "By the way, how's the Seven-Colored Rooster doing? Has its injury healed? Will the Phantom Lotus mature on schedule?"

Xiao Ba chuckled slyly, "Young Master, I think it deliberately delayed the maturity date of the Welcome Lotus by a few years. Hmph, in my opinion, that Phantom Lotus will mature within two years at most. This guy was just preparing for his escape after hoarding the lotus seeds. With Xiao Wan and Thousand-Eyed Crab watching over there, you can rest assured."

"Two years?"

Green stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "In this Pangu La Abyss, the most capable person to take over the position of King of the Abyss should be that guy. Let's see what price he's willing to pay. There's quite a lot of supplies stockpiled here."

……

In the Pangu La Abyss, the strongest long-term resident in Green's mind should be that old acacia tree in the abyss.

Every time Green's position as King of the Abyss was challenged, his wild sixth sense always vaguely sensed the presence of another spying light, making Green very uncomfortable. It wasn't until one day when Green used the Face of Truth that he finally found the trail of this spy, which turned out to be the roots of that old abyss tree.

This thing has actually extended its roots into this underground space.

Green couldn't help but wonder if this guy was a creature native to this small abyss.

After that, the other party obviously realized that Green had noticed them and stopped spying on them.

call out!

After flying for a day and a half in the abyss, Green arrived at the nest of the old acacia tree in the abyss, or rather, the cave disguised by its trunk. The cave door behind him automatically closed the moment Green entered, but Green was not surprised by this and continued to walk forward along the passage.

At this moment, Green was walking through the hollow of the ancient tree in the abyss.

After a while, twinkling lights of fireflies appeared inside the tree hole, floating in mid-air, incredibly beautiful, illuminating this small space at the end of the passage.

At the end of the tree hollow, where the tangled roots and branches converge, the face of an old human woman faintly appears, looking at the golden-haired wizard who walks step by step, along with the brightly colored red and green myna bird on his shoulder.

"Caw caw caw caw, old locust tree, my young master is here to sell the throne of the Abyss King at a bargain price. Interested?"

Before anyone even arrived, Xiao Ba started shouting.

Green had been here twice before, so he naturally sat down on a tree chair made of vines inside the tree hollow. He took the sap essence wine glass handed to him by the old abyss tree, which exuded a rich and stimulating aroma belonging to the abyss, or rather, the unique natural aura of the abyss.

Staring intently at the face illuminated by the twinkling fireflies at the end of the passage, Grimm picked up the glass of liquid essence, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said, "Just as my partner, Yagura Nivich, said, I am about to leave the Pangu La Abyss, and in my observation, the one most qualified to be the next Abyss King should be you."

After saying that, Green drank the essence of the juice in the glass in one gulp, and an indescribable sense of comfort spread through him, as if it were nourishing the fatigue of every cell in his body.

"Hehehehehe..."

The giant old witch's face, made of tree branches, slowly smiled.

"Shadow of Despair, do you know why Pangula, the one who named this abyss, fell two thousand three hundred years ago?"

Green shook his head, unsure of what the old locust tree in the abyss was trying to convey.

The ancient tree of the abyss wore a mocking expression as it said, "Back then, Pangula was a renowned powerhouse in the Three-Star Abyss Holy Tower. However, the Abyss King of the Three-Star Holy Tower was simply too powerful. With that Abyss King around, Pangula had no chance at all. To satisfy her vanity with the title of Abyss King, Pangula came here, defeated the former ruler of this place, declared herself the Abyss King, and renamed this abyss after herself."

"and then?"

Green asked casually, seemingly not taking it too seriously.

The old locust tree said in a low voice, "Later, when the Abyss King of the Two-Star Holy Tower came to challenge the Three-Star Holy Tower, he passed by here. After hearing about the Pangu La incident, he made a special trip here to kill Pangu La and thus assessed the strength of the Abyss King of the Three-Star Holy Tower at that time."

"Damn it, you old man are quite cautious, huh? Cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck, fine, I won't buy it then. Young master, that old fox who's the rival of the Seven-Colored Rooster is definitely interested in the King of the Abyss."

Little Eight grumbled and whined. Green stood up, smiled, and bid farewell to the old locust tree in the abyss.

Two days later.

Upon arriving at another secluded cave, Green was warmly received by the cave's owner, Gale Fox, a cunning old fox who was said to be a foreign slave who had escaped from the same arena as the Seven-Colored Rooster.

"The throne of the King of the Abyss? No, no, no, it's useless to sell such a thing without the corresponding strength. Besides, it's too obvious. Once bounty hunters discover this abyss, they will definitely go to the place with the densest abyssal energy first."

The old fox's eyes darted around, and he chuckled, "Lord Shadow of Despair, since you're leaving anyway, I'm interested in trading some supplies from the Abyss Cave."

After thinking for a moment, Green nodded, realizing that the Abyss King could not indeed be sold as an item as he had imagined.

In that case, Green gave up the idea of ​​continuing to sell the throne of the Abyss King and gestured for Hachi to slowly discuss the prices of the stockpiled supplies with the old fox.

"Hehehe, what price range are you planning to offer?"

……

After a full day and night, Xiao Ba and the old fox finally finished meticulously trading all the necessities for living in the Green underground cave and finalized the transaction through a contract.

Both sides received acceptable terms.

Just as Green was about to leave, the old fox suddenly had a sudden thought and said, "It seems that Lord Shadow of Despair must have made some kind of pact with that rooster, hehehe. But I must kindly remind you that the most precious part of the Phantom Lotus is not actually the lotus seed, but the lotus flower that has the power to communicate with the mysterious dark shadow."
