Wizard's Journey

Chapter 998 Heart of the Mountain

Five years later.

After bidding farewell to Sivirnis, who was still researching the mysteries of the Balancing Seal Technique, and briefly traveling through several large cities in the Spirit World, Grimm returned to the Tower of Annihilation's secret realm via a spacetime rift.

If it weren't for the resources of the spirit world, Green's frequent time travel between world communities would likely have driven him to the brink of despair due to energy problems.

"Thousand-Eyed Crab, select a legion of three million Howling Cockroach elite slaves and conscript them within ten years."

To assist the Kiss of Souls in invading the Mountain World, Grimm naturally did not need to bring his slave army. However, in addition to the Kiss of Souls, the 22nd District of the Second Ring Holy Tower, to which Grimm belonged, also invited Grimm to join the expedition to conduct necessary mutual understanding before the war of civilizations.

Over the years, besides the Stigmata Wizards who directly contacted Green through the Crystal Ball, quite a few low-level wizards who had some connection with you went to the Wizard Tower to seek an audience, and after failing, they all left behind some tokens.

Green casually flipped through the pages for a while; some of them were even wizards he had occasionally encountered during his time as a Level 2 wizard in the Seventh Ring Saint Tower.

"It seems that the frequent wars have made these low-level wizards realize the impending crisis and begin to seek the protection of the Holy Mark. Unfortunately... in a war of civilizations, even Holy Mark wizards cannot control the course of the battle, and those below the Holy Mark are all ants."

With a sigh, Green produced a list containing a large number of valuable resources from the Black Domain and contacted the Zijingxiang family, the Yisha family, and several other families with cooperative relationships with the academy.

The number of heads of the Flame Soul Thousand-Headed Bird determines its power. After reaching 256, Green will be able to rely on the numerous heads of the Flame Soul Thousand-Headed Bird to complete the structural adjustment of the Annihilation Power Original Sin Stone, advance to the fifth level of Saint Mark Wizard. With the amplification of power from the elemental true form of the Flame Soul Thousand-Headed Bird, he can probably easily unleash an attack power of more than 200,000, and its power is incomparable to what it is now.

Thus, some precious resources in the Dark Domain that promote the growth of chimeras became things that Grimm collected with all his might.

In addition, given the characteristics of the Flame Soul Thousand-Headed Bird, some introverted high-purity flame energy crystal cores can also significantly promote growth. Souls mixed with a large amount of negative emotional energy will be the most basic resource for the Flame Soul Thousand-Headed Bird's growth. The stronger the negative energy, the more it can assist in growth; conversely, pure souls will have no effect.

This requires Green to find and collect certain resources from the Flame World.

……

One month later, at the Second Ring Road St.

The resounding horns echoed throughout the ruined ancient city, and swarms of demon hunters, like a dense locust swarm, returned to the demon hunter castle, providing the spatial fortress with a vast amount of energy to leverage the rules of fate.

On the medium-sized space fortress with a diameter of 20,000 meters, the upper level is filled with a densely packed army of soul slave monsters and demon hunter dark wizards, while the base contains an army of hundreds of thousands of bright wizards, spaceship cabins, strategic resources, combat command centers, and the Hall of Holy Marks.

The Soul-Devouring Kiss transformed into a tiny figure the size of a palm, lying on the heart of a vibrant red flower, lazily sipping a glass of red wine.

"Mountain World, a small world on the edge of this world cluster, was originally an outer world that neither the Wizard Alliance nor the Metal Destroyers would have paid attention to. But once the world cluster is unified, these peripheral worlds will naturally submit. Hmph..."

As she spoke, Soul-Devouring Kiss waved her hand, and out of thin air, red lips made a "pop" sound, and a dazzling, mysterious crystal gem appeared.

"However, with the impending war against the Metal Destroyer civilization and the discovery of the Heart of the Mountain resource in this world, its strategic position immediately underwent a dramatic change."

Grimm took the dazzling gem, and after sensing it with his three-colored eyes beneath the Mask of Truth, he handed it over to Hachi, who was secretly urging him from his shoulder.

The guy's eyes lit up as he pretended to observe for a while, then casually tossed it into the dimensional gap, doing everything as if it were perfectly normal.

"It has good magical properties, making it perfect as the head of a magic wand. It can provide a considerable attribute bonus to low-level mages. If there is a higher quality Mountain Heart, even a Saint Mark Wizard can make do with it."

Green gave this assessment.

Shaking his head and smiling, the Soul-Devouring Kiss said in a low voice, "The magical enhancement power of the magic staff in your hand has reached an incredible level. By this magical standard, these Hearts of Mountains are certainly not worth mentioning. But do you think just anyone can possess such an extremely large and cold crystal as the staff head?"

"Hehehe, my young master's Extreme Abyss Magic Staff, let alone a Holy Mark, could probably be used by an advanced True Spirit Wizard. It will be quite some time before it can fully unleash its attribute enhancements."

Xiao Ba looked very smug.

Even from Xiao Ba's perspective, which has seen the entire history of the wizarding world, Grimm's Extreme Abyss Magic Wand is considered a very rare and powerful magical artifact.

"Hmph... Never mind, you should know about the birth of the great Eighth Ring True Spirit Wizard two hundred years ago, right?"

"Kiss of the Soul," suddenly asked.

Green nodded, his eyes gleaming beneath the mask of truth.

"I've heard some news. It's said that the great spirit was offered up by Guanglingbao as a true spirit. If the Black Witch King is also considered a true spirit, then the nineteenth ruler of the wizarding world will be born. It's truly a fortunate event. It's a pity I couldn't be there to congratulate him in person."

Soul-Devouring Kiss sighed, "At my level, the focus on the path to becoming a True Spirit has almost become instinctive. After all, there's always been the same group of Level 6 beings in the Wizarding World."

As she spoke, the Soul-Devouring Kiss paused, then took out a Mountain Heart.

"In fact, based on my previous assessment, the two people most likely to complete the True Spirit Offering and advance to True Spirit in the elemental wizard system of the Wizarding Continent are not this eighth-ring True Spirit. One is the True Spirit Offering at the Demon Hunter Bone Altar, and the other is the True Spirit Offering that is very likely to create the Curse Wizard lineage in this Civilization War. Whether he can create a faction like the first-ring True Spirit Wizard is another matter. After all, according to the rules, curse magic is still considered to be in the elemental system."

"Could this invasion of the mountain world, using the desert scorpion world as a transit point, be related to these two?"

The Demon Hunter's Bone Altar is a device for Demon Hunter Wizards to communicate with the fragments of the world. It involves a vast system, including the application of the rules of the Lever of Fate, the energy support of the fragments of the world, and the authentication of Demon Hunter Wizards' identities. It is far more complex than it appears on the surface, but it has little to do with the Heart of the Mountain, the resource of this expedition.

As for that other great wizard who focused on curse magic...

Green seemed to have grasped some key information. After staring at the mountain heart for a while with his three-colored eyes beneath the mask of truth, he pursed his lips.

"As expected, it has some strange amplification effect on communication with mysterious powers."

As far as Green knew, while the Metal Destroyer civilization possessed extraordinary strength in the application of energy and the microscopic research and application of metallic materials, it knew nothing about the mystical realm of the ninth-level beings who transcended the endless world system.

This is also the biggest weakness that the Wizard Civilization has found in the Metal Destroyer Civilization at this stage!
