Wizard's Journey

Chapter 960 The Devil's Bet?

"Repulsive force!"

The lone pine tree, swooping down from its high perch, was about to crush everything, but it was finally held back by the repulsive magic activated by the Extreme Abyss Magic Staff held high by Grimm.

Through in-depth research and enhancement of the profound truths of the ley lines world, Grimm's repulsive force is strong enough to support a space fortress!

Such powerful witchcraft, when faced with the unparalleled impact of Gu Hansong carrying the power of the world, brought the two closer and closer, yet also repelled each other. When they were only a few dozen meters apart, even the black flames of the Grimm elemental true form began to disperse over a large area, and two crisp "crack" sounds were heard.

"kindness!?"

"this……"

Two crisp "crack" sounds actually came from the Time-Space Altar and the bottom of the Eye of the World's Clear Pool, respectively!

The crisp cracking sound of the Time-Space Altar made Grimm's heart tighten. This altar had suffered extensive damage due to two failed attempts to ignite the World Node, and it could not withstand much external force.

As for the other sound of breaking.

The clear pool at the bottom of the lotus leaf in the Eye of this World seemed to have been attacked before, which is why Green discovered some cracks. Now, after this aftershock, the cracks have spread to a larger area and deepened considerably.

At the same time, a simple will, yearning for the fountain of life, was conveyed.

Something deep underground, connected to the Heavenly Pillar, was attempting to escape the forceful confinement of the parasitic spore world.

The Eye of the World, which the King of Ferns had forcibly placed in the Parasitic Spore World, now seemed to be resisted by the world's alienation magic or bloodline witchcraft, and was trying to break free from its restraints.

What on earth is this thing?!

While Green was tense about the Time-Space Altar, the Lone Cold Pine, who had taken the initiative to attack, was clearly much more tense than Green after seeing the cracks at the bottom of the Lotus Leaf Pool in the Eye of the World. Using the repulsive force between them, it actually retreated several thousand meters with a "whoosh" and stood in the sky.

A giant, engulfed in black flames over two hundred meters high, stood atop the towering pillar. Its radiant eyes gazed upon the Lonely Pine World Guardian, now so powerful that it could no longer rival him, and it gave a strange smile.

"The Time-Space Altar has fully connected with the Spirit World. There are still two-thirds of the hourglass time left. How about we take a gamble?"

The black flame giant suddenly said this.

"Gamble? How do you want to gamble!"

Gu Hansong, who was in a state of extreme distress and was hesitant, asked in a low voice.

"It's simple. I'm afraid the Time-Space Altar will be damaged, and you don't want this Eye of the World, left behind by the former Lord of the Ferns, to be harmed. So let's gamble with this world as the stakes, one as the evil destroyer of the world and the other as the righteous savior. Before the outcome is decided, neither of us is allowed to damage the two key nodes. You have two-thirds of the hourglass time to kill me. How about it?"

The black flame giant's voice gradually rose higher and higher, filled with excitement and devilish allure. Its two large mouths, one crying and one laughing, exuded an evil aura and a strong sense of foreboding.

Only those insane, evil, and powerful invading evil gods would think of betting the entire world on such a gamble.

"OK……"

Surprisingly, Gu Hansong readily agreed!

Having guarded the Eye of the World for nine thousand years, this place is an important part of the Parasitic Spore World. The King of Ferns has sacrificed far too much for this Eye of the World. Inheriting the will of the world, how could Lone Cold Pine just stand by and watch the Eye of the World suffer irreparable damage?

Its wildly expanding power gave it unparalleled confidence.

Everything was for the better protection of his world. Gu Hansong was confident that he could tear the intruder apart within two-thirds of the hourglass time, giving it no chance.

"Hmph, hahaha, Guardian, you actually made a pact with the devil. You've already lost..."

As the black flame giant slowly left the towering pillar, it spoke with the mocking tone of a victor. Its despicable demeanor made Gu Hansong want to tear this evil invader's face apart immediately.

Regardless of the text, any form of cooperation with the devil always ends in the devil's victory.

Because evil devils born from a world of intrigue and deception always leave themselves a hidden escape route that ensures they will never be defeated.

Humph……

With a disdainful smile, Gu Hansong, possessing absolute power and seemingly in complete control of the situation, watched as Green slowly departed from the true form of the Heavenly Pillar. Knowing that it was intentionally stalling for a tiny bit of time, he felt even more disdainful.

The Lone Pine also had its own plans, a plan to remain invincible!

It took almost a full one-twentieth of an hourglass's time for the black flame giant to finally arrive opposite the Lone Cold Pine, escaping the attack range of the Heavenly Pillar. With the Extreme Abyss Magic Staff slung over its shoulder, it looked solemnly at the Lone Cold Pine.

"You've stalled for time enough? Then you can just die!"

Roaring, the power of the world gathered by the Lone Cold Pine was becoming stronger and stronger, and it was becoming more and more familiar with manipulating and controlling the vast power of the world. It was being enhanced astonishingly every minute and every second. At this moment, it erupted, and even though Green had been mentally prepared, he was still greatly surprised.

It has already reached the level of a Level 5 organism, and it is still deepening!

With the power of annihilation within him amplified, Grimm met the attack with the superhuman physique of a body-refining wizard, which had undergone a surge of elemental power. The Extreme Abyss Magic Staff unleashed extreme cold, and the head of the staff suddenly transformed into an iceberg that blasted out—a power powerful enough to wipe out a human town.

Bang!

Ice shards shattered and fell from the sky in beautiful arcs.

The black flame giant was sent flying backward, but the attack from the Extreme Abyss Magic Staff only delayed Gu Hansong's next attack.

"Hmph, utterly pathetic!"

The solitary pine tree perched atop the tree, its branches rippled with vibrant green waves, seemingly showered with the world's favor. At this moment, even its seemingly insignificant movements possessed unbelievable power.

"Pah, little brat, I'm not playing with you anymore, True Demon Body!"

He raised the Abyss Magic Staff high and entered the jar of demonic energy.

While making this move openly, Green secretly adjusted his aura through the Source of Annihilation, suddenly raising his own life aura to its limit. An incredibly terrifying life aura suddenly erupted, enough to reach the peak of level six!

In an instant, the Lone Cold Pine, empowered by the power of the world, felt a chill run down its spine. It felt as if a colossal apocalyptic beast stood before it, its shadow almost engulfing the entire world. The overwhelming fear made it instinctively retreat more than ten thousand meters, filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

How could it be so powerful, even stronger than the King of the Ferns, the Six-Ringed Wyvern King, a peak powerhouse under the ruler.

How is that possible?!

grunt.

Green swallowed hard.

They really managed to intimidate the other party, thus successfully buying them some more time.

"Although transforming inside this cramped world is rather stifling, for a little guy like you, I'll just have to expend some of my true energy."
