As Renekton charged halfway there, Xerath's arcane ritual reached its final stage, unleashing a barrage of arcane projectiles that rained down upon them.

Soul Drain! Nasus swung his scepter, shattering all the arcane projectiles aimed at Azir and himself.

Xerath, whose perspective rose to high altitude, was not surprised to see that the attack had not caused any damage to Azir.

Nasus was one of the first Ascended in Shurima, and his overall strength ranks first among the current four. This is why Xerath tried every means to transfer Nasus away from the capital.

If Nasus were in the capital, Xerath would never have had the chance to steal the power of the Ascension Ritual.

Moreover, Nasus never really liked him and always kept a close eye on him. If Azir hadn't trusted and loved Xerath so much, and if Xerath hadn't been cautious enough to avoid giving Nasus any leverage, Nasus would have found an opportunity to at least transfer Xerath away from Azir long ago.

Eye of Destruction!

Xerath's mental energy swept across a portion of the arcane barrage, and this arcane energy began to gather and compress from the center, forming small orbs resembling eyeballs.

At the same time, arcane circles appeared outside Nasus's domain, and then the circles resonated with the Eye of Destruction in the sky.

A thin thread connected the two together.

Boom! This thread acted like the fuse of an explosive, directly detonating the arcane energy between the two energy points.

The surging arcane energy overturned layer after layer of sand and directly bombarded the soul barrier, making it teeter on the verge of collapse.

The brilliant blue light blocked Nasus and Azir's normal vision, but for them, what the eyes could see was only part of the picture; they had to use their senses to discover more.

While the battle raged on, Renekton had already closed in on Xerath, and the distance between them was only a little over a kilometer.

For Renekton, who is a hundred meters tall, this distance is just a matter of taking three steps at a time.

But once Renekton entered the kilometer range, a huge resistance suddenly appeared, acting on Renekton and pushing him outwards.

Renekton dug his legs into the ground, trying to brace himself, but with Ultimate Domination activated, he was simply too massive, and the area of ​​resistance he could apply had increased considerably, so his body was still slowly retreating.

Roar! Renekton roared, brandishing his right-hand blade. The blade sliced ​​through the air with black cracks. Just as he broke through the surging resistance, before he could even advance, Renekton's eyes were filled with a pale blue orb.

Shock orbs were being sprayed outwards in concentric rings around Xerath's main body; this was the most cost-effective way to stop the enemy.

One ball after another slammed into Renekton, forcefully pushing him beyond the kilometer mark.

Ramming around recklessly!

Renekton lowered his body, his entire body radiating red energy, and charged forward twice like a long shuttle, slicing the impact orb in front of him in two as he charged.

The distance between the two was reduced to within a hundred meters, and Renekton raised his blade and slashed down.

A burst of violent arcane energy erupted from Xerath's chest, causing Renekton to stumble, and the following shock orb pushed him away from Xerath.

Xerath was surrounded by a multitude of resistance spells, because he knew that once Renekton stood firm beside him, he would become a lamb to the slaughter.

A mage is being approached by a top-tier warrior; what's the point of fighting?

As Renekton was pushed away, the arcane bombardment from afar never stopped.

Arcane barrage has already flattened this large area of ​​desert by hundreds of meters, turning all the sand and soil within those hundreds of meters into ashes, leaving not a trace of ash.

Despite the devastation of the surrounding environment, Azir was unharmed, and the power of the sun in his hands had accumulated to a certain extent.

"Slave, I will completely rectify the mistake of trusting you!"

Azir raised his hands, and a blazing sun rose slowly. Under this blazing sun, the surging arcane sea in the sky was evaporated completely, just like a real ocean.

Xerath showed no fear as he looked at the scene, and absorbed all the arcane energy back into his body.

Isn't it just wave repulsion?

He's currently on Azir's right, and as the saying goes, the left side always loses in a match! He's not like Dynamo on the other side... *cough*...

In short, Xerath had a certain degree of confidence in his victory.

Just as the two were in the pre-cast animation, the ground beneath Xerath suddenly surged up, and Renekton burst out from between the sand.

He immediately slashed at Xerath, who was preparing to counter the attack, then activated Ultimate Domination, his body grew to gigantic size again, and he pinned Xerath in the air.

Ruthless hunting!

Renekton's blade slashed at Xerath multiple times, tearing several gaps in his body.

Under this slash, Xerath's form began to sway, looking as if it was about to explode.

Tyrant's Frenzy!

Renekton's blade traced an arc in the air, severing Xerath's head from his body.

Ramming around recklessly!

Renekton's body passed right through Xerath, shattering his arcane entity, before Renekton retreated into the distance.

Because the sun in the sky is about to set.

After Renekton vanished, the blazing sun slammed directly onto Xerath.

There was no mushroom cloud, only blinding sunlight that distorted the surrounding space, and time and space were completely melted away.

"Azir, I will be back!"

After leaving behind his last words, Xerath disappeared from everyone's sight.

However, both Azir and Nasus knew that Xerath would return one day. Xerath, who had become a sorcerer through the Twisted Ascension ritual, possessed extremely strong immortality. In a sense, he was one with arcane magic.

Only an arcane mage stronger than him can completely destroy him.

However, none of the three ascendants present were worried; when it came to growth rate, they had never been afraid of anyone.

Undying? Let's see how many times you can be destroyed!

If things go wrong, by the time they're all wiped out, the Ascended Soldiers of Shurima might be able to take down Xerath single-handedly. At that point, Xerath will no longer be considered a threat.

After defeating Xerath, Azir took one last look at the outside world before entering the tomb with Renekton and Nasus.

Nasus, who was at the back, resealed the tomb. Once the magic circle was closed, the entire tomb disappeared from the Earth's surface and was hidden in a hard-to-find spatial rift.

Chapter 111 Mysterious Revival

When the tomb disappeared, Yang Qiu's script for this time came to an end. What followed was no longer related to his script, but rather the normal evolution of this world.

This time, Yang Qiu paid a heavy price for the script's evolution. He used up all the spiritual power that Gu Yi had accumulated over five hundred years, and he also used up most of the spiritual power he had accumulated during this period. He also used up all the savings that the ancient Zoroastrian Church had accumulated over thousands of years.

Script 10: Mysterious Revival

Synopsis: The negligence of the sorcerer Kamar-Taj disrupts the previously stable mystical world, and during this time, the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, is taken advantage of by Mephisto and killed by his accomplice, Kaecilius. The now-powerful Kaecilius then attempts to steal the treasures of the ancient Shurima Empire…

Script evolution result: Perfect

Script evolution products: Shurima related personnel, Heavenly Court-Shushan related personnel, Knights of the Round Table related personnel, Heavenly Court-Grotto-Heavens (under construction), Heavenly Court-Earth Network, Clock Tower-Multiverse Portal, Secondary Upgrade of World Energy Level

Shurima personnel:

Azir: The last emperor of Shurima, one of the Ascended, a legendary class, primarily wielding the laws of sunlight and desert, currently critically injured, possessing the Arcana Sun Disc, and is self-sealing.

Nasus: Guardian of Shurima, former Grand Marshal of Shurima, head of the Shurima National Library and Museum, one of the Ascended, a legendary professional, primarily wielding the laws of the soul, currently in a state of minor injury and self-sealing.

Renekton: Grand General of Shurima, leader of the Shurima Ascended Legion, one of the Ascended, a legendary professional, primarily wielding the laws of killing and rage, currently in a state of minor injury and self-sealing.

Xerath (defected): A Shurima slave, a Twisted Ascended, a legendary class, primarily wielding arcane magic, currently awaiting resurrection.

Heavenly Court-Shushan related personnel:

Li Xiaoyao: The leader of the Shu Mountain Sect, with three flowers blooming on his head and five elements gathered at the top, a legendary professional who has mastered some of the laws of swordsmanship and possesses the supreme treasure - the Five Elemental Pearls.

The remaining 110 people from Shushan included Zhao Ling'er (a sub-legendary figure), five Shushan elders (advanced professionals), and others.

Personnel associated with the Knights of the Round Table:

Artoria: King Arthur, supreme leader of the Knights of the Round Table, a sub-legendary professional, possessing the treasured Excalibur (sword and scabbard).

The remaining six key members of the Knights of the Round Table include Gawain (who has left) and Lanlost (who has left).

Heavenly Court - Blessed Land (to be evolved): A war star that the Heavenly Court has spent five hundred years initially building. Currently, it is still under construction due to the development of new technologies and the modification of design sketches. The completion time is unknown. It is currently located in the Oort Cloud, about one light-year away from Earth. Its main function is to guard the border between the solar system and Earth (Midgard).

Heavenly Court-Earth Network: A network established by the Heavenly Court before its departure, containing magical imprints left by many Heavenly Court personnel. Heavenly Court subordinates can access these imprints according to their own authority.

Clock Tower - Multiverse Portal: A portal initially established by the Clock Tower over five hundred years, capable of connecting with other multiverses. Currently, it is idle due to a lack of directional coordinates, and its random activation function is disabled. It is currently located within the Oort Cloud, approximately two light-years away from the Celestial War Star.

The world's energy level has been upgraded for the second time: the current energy activity of the planet has increased again, the threshold for advancement of various paths has been further reduced, and the threshold for energy perception has been further reduced.

Once the calculation was complete, two enormous objects appeared at opposite ends of a diameter drawn out from the Sun in the Oort Cloud at the far edge of the solar system.

One is an illusory planet, only slightly smaller than Earth, upon which arrays, Taoist techniques, and a Heavenly Dao defense network shimmer with dazzling light.

Unreal figures roamed the planet, building various infrastructures and modifying outdated buildings and defensive structures.

The current illusory situation is the result of incomplete evolution. To make these people real living beings, Yang Qiu still needs to invest more mental energy and related resources. The total shortfall is not much, probably only a few dozen times more than the resources already invested.

The other is a portal about the size of the moon. The portal's color scheme matches the vast universe, but occasionally various lines of laws appear on it, making it look awe-inspiring and mysterious.

This multiverse portal is the culmination of the Clock Tower's core technology.

In addition, there are layers of space surrounding this portal, each of which is part of the clock tower. However, unlike the small planet in the Hextech layer, the ones here are mostly man-made, and the main structure is not spherical, but rather a platform.

They are the main protectors of the portal, and when no enemy appears, they are the engineers responsible for debugging and maintaining the portal.

In addition, the main energy of the portal and the battle star currently comes from the conversion of energy from the surrounding space, and Yang Qiu is only making up for a small deficit.

Yang Qiu estimated that the recovery and growth rate of his mental energy, which increased due to his improved strength after completing the script, could only barely supply the maintenance work of these two energy-intensive devices.

If he were to supply all the energy himself, he would probably be left to do it all by himself in just a few days.

Even just making up for the deficit now puts a lot of pressure on Yang Qiu. He still has to succeed the Ancient One as the supreme guardian of Earth. If he doesn't leave some reserves, it will be too late to prepare when the enemy attacks.

Therefore, if they want to continue developing, they can forget about relying solely on Yang Qiu, and they can't even rely on Earth at present. This is the important reason why he must evolve the multiverse portal this time.

This universe is far too crowded compared to his previous one. The fact that Earth is the only power in the solar system is because the solar system is nominally Asgard's territory. Heading here is tantamount to declaring war on Asgard.

Moreover, with Earth's current strength, it is not enough to expand outwards. Not to mention anything else, the chances of winning against any civilization capable of interstellar travel are terrifyingly low.

Surely no one really believes that a single nuclear bomb could destroy an entire star system fleet.

Therefore, if Yang Qiu wants to lead the Mystic World and Earth to continue developing, he can only find a way from other worlds.

Of course, the target worlds should ideally be weaker than Yang Qiu's side, those on par are acceptable, those stronger are best avoided, and the most undesirable are those worlds that have already been targeted by some kind of strange entity.

If you encounter the last type, you might not become the Earth hunter, but instead become the prey.
