Wizard's Journey

Chapter 974 Phoenix Egg

With a "bang," the spatial rift on the altar stabilized.

"Shadow of Despair, it's been a long time. What surprise do you have in store for me this time that you've taken the initiative to contact me?"

Its entire body was covered with grayish-white thorns and barbs, swirling with black poisonous breath. Only its head, as enormous as a super caterpillar thousands of meters long, emerged, looking down at Green.

Now, after a thousand years, the Bone Demon, who once traded the Ram's Horned Skull Magic Staff as a Level 3 creature along with Grimm, has advanced to the level of a World Lord, and his life force seems to be quite strong.

Through the altar projection, the Bone Demon also sensed the unfathomable energy intensity of Grimm. Two incredibly powerful soul flames erupted from within the skull's eye sockets, quelling the still somewhat chaotic spatial fluctuations around it.

"I thought my evolution speed over the years was already astonishing, but I didn't expect you to be just as fast. What a wondrous world!"

The Bone Demon couldn't help but sigh.

Green stood atop the specially constructed thousand-meter-long altar, his figure shrouded in seven-colored runes. His tiny figure, less than two meters tall, contrasted sharply with the Bone Demon. He leaned on the Extreme Abyss Magic Staff, the staff's head held by a skeletal hand gripping a block of azure, deep-cold ice, swirling with demonic energy.

However, when the Bone Demon saw the Extreme Abyss Magic Staff in Grimm's hand, he could no longer look away.

This!

This is……

"Three Souls Collapse Bone Head, my old friend, it's been a thousand years. I've changed my name; you can call me the Tower of Annihilation. I'm summoning you this time to finalize a major deal. I urgently need some energy-equivalent items from higher beings."

After speaking, Grimm looked up at the two-colored eyes of this colossal creature from a distant alien world through the Mask of Truth. He noticed that the creature was staring motionlessly at his Extreme Abyss Magic Staff and the Arm of the Demon Ancestor. Knowing the creature's possessiveness of the skeletons of high-level creatures, he shook his head and calmly enveloped the Extreme Abyss Magic Staff in a layer of elemental light.

The Three Souls Collapsed Bone Head was none other than the other party's name.

At the center of the swirling blue-green threads of time, a small piece of bone was consuming its internal energy. This was the communication medium given to it by the Three Souls Collapse Bone Chief. Now, Green was using this massive altar he had forged to summon and communicate with it. Compared to the altar used by his grandfather Cappuccino in Bisel City, it was many times more stable.

"Level eight, a level eight creature... the arm skeleton of a level eight creature!?"

The roar of the Three Souls Collapsed Bone Head almost made the stable space of the altar unstable again. The sound was so shocking that it was hard to describe. It desperately tried to squeeze over and get closer to Green.

However, the two worlds are too far apart, not even adjacent world clusters, making it difficult to pinpoint their exact location.

The summoning energy and the degree of spacetime compression required to cross such a distance are not something that even the Lord of the World can accomplish casually; it is an extremely massive undertaking.

"Sell me this bone arm! I'll agree to any conditions! I have the souls of 13.5 million Borons, a level 5 World Lord crystal core containing half of its energy, a bottle of Heavenly Feather Flower honey, a Storm Fairy world occupied by my personal Cataclysmic Skeleton Legion, a liter of spring water from the Well of Eternity, oh, right, and..."

As it spoke, the Three Souls Collapsed Bone Head, with its numerous caterpillar-like limbs, pulled something soft from the black mist swirling around it. Amidst the unknown creature's scream, it expended enormous energy to throw it onto Grin's altar.

"There is also a whole team of enchanting fairies who can transform into various forms of life depending on their master's life form, wholeheartedly providing pleasure to their master."

As the Three Souls Collapsed Bone Chief spoke, the jelly-like creature that had landed on the Green Altar slowly transformed into a human girl, looking helpless and pitiful.

pity……

Beneath Green's penetrating truth, which sees through appearances to the truth itself, the other party is still merely a semi-transparent soft-bodied creature; such changes in appearance are meaningless to Green.

Faced with the expectant gaze of the Three Souls Collapse Bone Chief, Green sighed and shook his head, politely declining, "I'm sorry, your conditions are far from sufficient to exchange for my magic wand, and I am not prepared to trade this magic wand at the moment."

The Three Souls Collapsed Bone Head gradually calmed down.

An eighth-level biological skeleton—this was the first time it had ever seen one in its entire life; no wonder it was so distraught.

"Yes, how could you possibly agree to exchange my insignificant conditions?"

Coming to his senses, the skeletal demon said in a disappointed voice, "May I ask how you obtained this level eight Overlord's Arm?"

Grimm chuckled, tossed the pesky enchanting fairy off the altar amidst her shriek, and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, these are spoils of war obtained after conquering those weaker worlds with the Demon Ancestors. Could they be slaves I bred myself? Alright, we'll talk about this bone arm later. This time, let me show you some other high-grade items I've collected over the last few hundred years."

As he spoke, Green tore open a dimensional gap, and with a whoosh...

The skeletons of seven dinosaur world masters in the Balance Seal Space, the skeleton of a Glacier Summoner buried by an Ice Mountain Beast excavated in the Parasitic Spore World, and dozens of skeletons of various sizes and ages that were found while traveling in the abyss of the Wizard World.

"So, are you interested?"

A world of the weak!?

This alien world, which calls itself the Tower of Annihilation, actually calls a world with level eight creatures a weak world!?

call……

The soul fire trembled. What kind of terrifying world was this? How many world lords or even endless rulers were there in this world that called the Tower of Annihilation, which was the place where he made a deal? Could it be one of those legendary super worlds that ruled over the entire world community?

Terrified, the Three Souls Collapsed Bone Leader laughed loudly, "The Bone Demon World never refuses any trade involving the remains of powerful beings from other realms. These few remains of World Lords are of decent quality, and I can offer you a satisfactory price. However, as for those others, due to their antiquity, well..."

Green looked toward the skeletons he had collected during his travels through the deep underground abyss, as indicated by the head of the Three Souls Collapsed Bones.

"Oh, it's alright. Those were just picked up randomly anyway. There are plenty of them in the deep abyss. The strong people in this world aren't interested in these skeletons, and I'm too lazy to move around."

I found it!

There are plenty!

Looking at these ancient level four and five skeletons, the Three Souls Bone Collapse Chief dared not say anything more. The world where the Tower of Annihilation was located was probably more powerful than imagined, far beyond what the Bone Demon World, which had declined to a great extent, could match!

"Alright, I remember your world doesn't use souls as a unit of trade. So, I'll use this level-five crystal core with half its energy, half a kilogram of Eternal Spring water, and 30,000 Enchantresses as an exchange. How about it?"

The value of a level 5 crystal nucleus is self-evident.

As for this half-kilogram of Eternal Spring water, it can be used as a consumable to temporarily buff lower-level characters, creating an effect similar to the true form of an element.

You can also try to summon and communicate with the Lord of the Eternal Spring.

However, with only half a kilogram, it would probably be difficult to directly communicate with the Lord of the Eternal Spring, but it would be very likely to indirectly communicate with its descendants, who are also very powerful level 5 and level 6 life forms.

However, in the mind of the Three Souls Collapse Bone Leader, the value of these two items was only less than that of 20,000 Enchantress Fairies. The real prize was the 30,000 Enchantress Fairies. It was quite painful for him to spend so many at once.

Uh……

However, these alluring fairies were worthless to Grimm.

"I'm sorry, but my world has no interest in these inferior beings. Apart from the pursuit of knowledge, everything else is merely an embellishment in the life process. Perhaps... you can still use items dropped by powerful beings from other realms, like the Extreme Ice Crystal, as trade goods in the Bone Demon World after their fall."

Green reminded him with a hint of anticipation.

After a moment of silence, the Three Souls Collapsed Bone Head seemed to suddenly remember something, and a black and red bird egg the size of a head appeared in one of its caterpillar-like bone hands.

"A very rare bloodline, capable of freely transforming between fire element and flesh and blood creatures, possessing the ability to regenerate after suffering a devastating blow. According to the records of the Bone Demon World, this is a creature from a distant world called the Fire Phoenix. If we can obtain some of the rebirth essence it needs, revive it, and then devour it, we might have a considerable chance of obtaining some of its abilities."

The Three Souls Collapse Bone Master, with its unique understanding, introduced this phoenix egg.

"this……"

Green's eyes lit up, and almost without thinking, he exclaimed happily, "Deal!"

The ancient wizarding world once summoned a Phoenix Overlord to fight against the ancient demon army of the abyss. Although it has long since lost contact with that powerful world, given the wizarding world's foundation, it must still possess a considerable amount of Phoenix essence.

Putting aside everything else, the Millie and Mina families must be hiding the origin of the phoenix.
