Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 604 Breakthrough to Middle Emperor

Ever since the Ocean God Clan stirred up trouble and then crashed in the waters off Seoul Base City, Wang Teng's reputation has spread all over the world by stepping on the Ocean God Clan.

Various forces flocked to the scene once again, with the most active being the Academy Alliance, whose group of magic scholars were eagerly seeking time magic every day.

They wanted confirmation, hoped to gain Wang Teng's favor, and prayed for the awakening of time-based magic.

In addition, there is the Aristocratic Alliance, a group that will follow anyone who offers them a benefit. The emergence of time magic has given them a new alternative target.

In addition to the Parthenon's soul, a power that seems capable of resurrecting forbidden spellcasters has emerged in this world.

The power of time magic is actually felt by a small number of Chaos Forbidden Spellcasters, who can indirectly cast time reversal spells.

So now, directly using time magic could very well grant the ability to resurrect!

The key is that there is no restriction from the Parthenon Soul. Currently, the Parthenon Goddess would consume her own life force if she used the Parthenon Soul.

This comes at a tremendous cost, and the person who is resurrected will have to pay the same price, or even a greater price.

So this group of people sent their descendants to Yaoyang City in groups, and some even brought their own food to become godchildren.

However, since the end of the festival activities in Yaoyang City, Wang Teng has gone into seclusion, leaving a large group of people disappointed and anxiously waiting.

In their minds, they originally thought this retreat might only last ten days or half a month, but who would have thought that this wait would turn into June of the following year.

Wang Teng went into seclusion from September until June of the following year, a period so long that many people almost forgot he existed.

Those who were familiar with the situation didn't even find it surprising; only those with passion and scheming couldn't wait and didn't have this idea.

Most of them waited for two or three months and then quietly left Yaoyang City, thinking that they had been excluded by default.

Even those with strong willpower could only persevere for half a year. Even if they didn't leave Yaoyang City, they almost forgot why they came here.

……

Wang Teng was engrossed in his cultivation and carefully studied the beast soul of the Cold Moon Eye Demon God, which gave him a thorough understanding of the demonic power intensity of a peak-level Middle Emperor.

Therefore, he found a reference point. After absorbing a huge amount of Emperor's Soul Energy, his soul strength broke through the Emperor's shackles and entered the Middle Emperor level!

This is the only shortcut to a rapid breakthrough that can be achieved by fully utilizing his talent and with the support of the souls of the various emperors and the middle emperors!

As for the crystallized imperial power remaining in the beast soul, he fed all of that to the Xuan Snake. All he needed was the high-quality soul essence of the imperial beast soul.

The breakthrough in his soul allowed the bottleneck of the Central Emperor to be broken quickly. With the replenishment of abundant summoning magic energy and dimensional energy, his bloodline and demonic power steadily transformed towards the Central Emperor.

With the addition of some special cultivation methods, the conversion efficiency was not too low. It took him nearly a year to break through from the Emperor level to the Middle Emperor level!

This is another leap forward in the level of life!

The most direct feeling is that the lifespan is much longer than that of an emperor-level being, which is due to the stronger immortality brought about by the demonic power of a mid-emperor level being.

The vast time span significantly slows down the rate at which the life force of mid-level beings is eroded, thereby indirectly increasing their lifespan.

At the same time, the middle emperor stage can already perceive the passage of time, which is not as vague as in the emperor stage, but is now quite clear.

However, it cannot be directly controlled yet and remains in a perceptible state.

However, it can be resisted by the power of the Central Emperor's demonic energy, which also means that the binding effect of the forbidden spell on the Central Emperor will be very limited.

Because the Emperor can quickly detect the time fluctuations caused by the forbidden spell during the release phase after the spell's induction ends, he can avoid the spell's attack range in time.

If one's physical strength is strong enough, it doesn't matter if one doesn't dodge. Under the defense constructed by the demonic power of the Central Emperor, the power of the forbidden spell is likely to be unable to break through the defense!

Inside the sealed room, Wang Teng felt the immense life force and powerful dimensional demonic energy within his body, realizing that he could easily break through the crystal barrier protecting this plane.

His basic perception range has expanded to thousands of kilometers. If a clash between emperors were to occur somewhere, causing a disruption in the flow of energy, he could now project his gaze there.

The effect is merely a glance; it cannot generate substantial driving force. It's fine when the distance is close, but it's powerless when the distance is far.

After his soul broke through, he absorbed free spiritual energy for more than half a year and successfully advanced to the eleventh realm!

This dreamlike level allowed him to access the power of the mind; even without relying on mind magic, he could clearly perceive and capture the power of the mind.

This means that his talent possesses the characteristic of devouring and absorbing mental power, and after devouring free mental power and the origin of the soul, he has once again gained a fundamental enhancement.

In addition, he gained the passive ability Insight, which means that virtually no one can lie to him without being detected.

"The range of devouring free spiritual power suddenly increased to a radius of one hundred kilometers. Even sitting here, not only Yaoyang City, but also Seoul Base City are within the coverage area."

"My mental strength is still growing, but it will take some time before I reach the peak of the eleventh realm."

"With this ability, I should be able to meet the basic requirements for creating a soul artifact."

Wang Teng has figured out how to construct Soul Artifacts. When he was still at the Emperor level, he could only modify them but not create them. Now, at the Middle Emperor level, he can try to create them. The difference between the two is still quite large.

He now roughly determined the strength and realm of the Heavenly Father and Athena, which should be at the Middle Emperor level, and both should be at the Soul Realm. As for whether they are at the early or peak Middle Emperor level, he was not quite sure.

Therefore, as long as he studies his abilities in depth, he can resurrect the Parthenon's soul in the same way!

If he could reconstruct the soul and then infuse it with life energy, a little bit of the life energy of the Emperor would be enough.

The life energy of the Central Emperor is capable of rapidly restoring a roughly intact body to its best condition, and finally reconstructing the soul.

Therefore, within a certain time limit after death, the operation of resurrecting the deceased can be achieved!

Of course, someone with time-related abilities like him wouldn't need such a complicated method; he could simply reverse time and return the other person to their perfect state.

This was the innate ability of the Eternal Demon Lotus within the Abyss of Fiends. It was at least comparable to the super-level power of time, and only the super-level could initially reverse time.

In some ways, the time system is even more unsolvable than the resurrection of the Parthenon's soul, because it directly reverses time and ignores the influence of the rules of the material world.

Furthermore, the offensive capabilities of time-based attacks are even more unpredictable than those of space-based attacks, leaving those below the middle tier with virtually no chance of resistance.

The power of time is especially effective against short-lived species. By simply accelerating the process for a short period, it can allow the old man, whose days are numbered, to embrace the Dark Lord sooner.

The power of time has many other uses; it is a functional ability second only to the chaos element and can rival the mind element.
