Wizard's Journey

Chapter 956 The Pillar to Heaven

Glug, glug, glug...

"It seems that in the world of parasitic spores, when that plant-man ruler was still alive, he once planned to develop the technology of some alien civilization, but it ended in failure. In the end, it was not suitable for the evolutionary process of the laws of the plant-man."

The ancient city-state, located beneath the Tongtian Pillar, was of a considerable size.

However, as time has passed, it has been buried underground, but it still performs some special functions designed for people in a vegetative state.

The numerous plant-like beings were throwing crystals with fire-attribute energy into crude and inferior energy boilers, seemingly collecting steam heat energy—a truly rudimentary way of utilizing energy.

Green, with his wicked and unassuming demeanor, blended into the underground city of Kano Bangkok, remaining completely inconspicuous.

…………

Beneath the pillar reaching the heavens.

"The avatar of the source of annihilation left over there should be able to barely buy us a sandbag time. Little Eight keeps urging us on, it's so annoying."

Looking up at the towering pillar that pierced the clouds, Green vanished in a flash within the real world, shooting towards the top of the pillar.

call out!

Suddenly, Green, who had flown a distance along the pillar to heaven, was blocked by a vine extending from the pillar.

The fact that it could sense Green moving forward in real time shows that the vines have clearly obtained some power from the Heavenly Pillar. This Heavenly Pillar is no ordinary pillar!

"Stop in your tracks, Evil Tamarix, there's a forbidden path ahead."

Crackling sounds!

With an elemental teleport, Grimm chose to bypass the vines sprouting from the towering pillar and did not attack, fearing that he might trigger some warning mechanism on the pillar and attract the world guardian who had just left back.

Beep, beep, beep, beep...

The vine burst forth with a large number of black seeds, emitting strange sounds as it chased after Green, but was gradually left far behind by Green in the real world.

"Intruders! Intruders! Intruders!"

Green rushed into the clouds, reaching the chaotic layer, and startled three seemingly ordinary cloud clusters awake.

Then these clouds, which resembled flowing mist, rushed towards Grimm. They were actually World Guardians, but their level had not yet reached the fourth level, making them the lowest-level World Guardians.

"The alert has been triggered. The Eye of the World is just above. It takes about one-tenth of an hourglass to get here from the underground ancient city. The Time-Space Altar needs to be ignited for the duration of an hourglass to function and cannot be interrupted by any external force. But these three low-level guardians..."

Three cloud clusters—one a lightning cloud, one a fiery cloud, and one an icy cloud—each displaying black, red, and blue hues respectively, chased after Green's figure as he rapidly rushed towards the Eye of the World node atop the same rooftop.

Green discovered that the material of this towering pillar was not formed by natural laws and could not have evolved from the natural laws of this world.

The pillar is made of a material that is as hard as metal, but it is by no means metal. It has the color of white marble, but it is extremely warm and smooth. It seems to have some kind of energy guiding device hidden inside, as if it has the function of some high-level altars in the wizarding world.

Similar to... the source of magic in the Wizard's Tower.

"Don't even think about taking another step forward here! Infiltrator from another world, reveal your true form! I've already sensed this world's rejection of you!"

A bright red strawberry appeared, exuding the aura of a level three creature. Its soul and will spoke righteously, but Green found it difficult to take it seriously. Its delicious color only aroused Green's great appetite!

Green discovered that rather than the three strange clouds and the giant strawberry being guardians of the parasitic spore world, they were more like guardians of the Heavenly Pillar, their power originating entirely from this Heavenly Pillar.

call out!

Suddenly, Grimm broke through the attack range of the giant red strawberry. With a "plop," Grimm's Extreme Abyss Magic Wand, now in human form, pierced into the strawberry, which was a meter in size. Juice splattered everywhere, and the wound was instantly frozen.

"Ah...you, what are you going to do!"

Grimm's body suddenly swelled to over thirty meters, transforming into a savage giant, his mouth, with two long fangs, revealing a sinister grin.

"So tender and juicy, I can't wait any longer! Ah, crunch, crunch, crunch..."

The savage giant actually used the Abyss Magic Staff, which hadn't been enlarged along with it, as a toothpick. He stuffed the giant strawberry, the guardian of the towering pillar, into his mouth and chewed it with a look of pure enjoyment and ecstasy. Especially when he closed his mouth to chew for the first time, the juice gushing from the barbarian's mouth and the giant strawberry's screams were incredibly cruel from the perspective of a vegetable in this world. The most terrifying nightmare was nothing more than this!

"Strawberry King! Ah... this evil and cruel otherworldly invader, kill him!"

The fiery red clouds rushed towards Grimm, accompanied by a constant crackling sound. Grimm, who had revealed a portion of his power, was quickly subjected to even stronger pressure from the parasitic spore world, but he remained unmoved and soared to the very top of the Heavenly Pillar in one breath.

Crackling sounds!

Black arcs of electricity drew in light from all directions, darkening the sky before it brightened again. Following that terrifyingly intense attack, half of the fiery cloud chasing after Green vanished instantly, as if completely erased by some force, while the other half remained intact.

Immediately, the savage giant looked towards the platform at the top of the pillar, his gaze focusing on a lotus leaf in the central pool. A strange gray energy source at the bottom of the pool supported this lone lotus leaf, its energy patterns clearly visible.

"This is... an artificial eye of the world!?"

Green was surprised by his discovery.

As expected of the Endless Ruler, the purpose of the Tower of Heaven is to artificially create an Eye of the World, allowing the Parasitic Spore World to evolve more perfectly.

Without a doubt, this lotus pond is the eye of the world of parasitic spores.

"Ah...get out of the sacred site!"

The fiery cloud rushed over, but the savage giant turned around and smiled coldly. While gathering even stronger counterattack power, he tore open a dimensional gap and took out the spacetime altar, which was severely damaged due to two attempts to ignite it.

I fear this time-space altar can no longer withstand a third failure.

…………

"The ancient city ruins left behind by the King of Ferns provide for us in Kano Bangkok... um!?"

The guardian of the Lone Pine World was conducting self-sacrifice education for the many vegetative people gathered here when he suddenly noticed something. The energy crystals in the inferior furnace were "crackling" and burning, but the Lone Pine in the underground ruins changed his expression and disappeared on the spot.

But the next moment, a roar came!

"Who are you!?"

A wicked taro flower blocked the path of the Lonely Pine World Guardian. Its emerald green branches were covered with ice crystals, and flies buzzed around it. After wriggling for a moment, it transformed into a savage giant over thirty meters tall.

Because the underground space of the ancient city was too small, even if one was only a third-level savage giant transformed by wild instinct, one could only curl up in the passageway, with several evil taro flowers around him being accidentally crushed to death by the savage giant.

"Ah! Monster..."

"Don't panic, the World Tree is here!"

Click, click...

The savage giant's rough arms supported him on the rocky passageway, but due to the powerful force that inadvertently emanated from him, scalding hot steam billowed out.

"Hehehehe, of course I'm an intruder. You can call me the Annihilation Wizard."

The Origin of Annihilation avatar sneered, completely blocking the passage and escape route.
