Chapter 718 - Twelve Grand Wizards (1/2)
Boom…
The shaking of the mountain, the terrifying roars, and the hair-raising ripples of energy soon attracted the attention of the guards. They instinctively sensed a threat. The hidden scouts hurried out of the bushes and rocks in their fl.u.s.ter and gathered together, whispering fearfully. Eleven black-robed men also quickly gathered together to discuss a countermeasure.
”What's going on, just what's going on?”
”Lord Argos, what do we do?”
”Let's use the Beacon Token and call for help. It'll be too late if we don't do it now!”
…
Even though they were incredibly powerful, the black-robed men were very nervous, as they did not know what was behind the drastic change at the peak of the mountain. Nothing like this had ever happened in the millions of years they had been there. No one knew just what was going to happen to the Skyreach Tower. No one dared to let their guard down, as they remembered the terrifying talents of the long-lost Ancient Wizards.
”Lord Argos, nothing much happened when that female worm came around before. This time, there was a young man on her back... Could that mysterious young man be…” A black-robed man was overcome with worry when he remembered Yang Ling's lethal Battle Soul Blade and terrifying teleportation skill.
The major factions had come together to send elites to guard the Skyreach Tower because they were worried about the revival of the talented Ancient Wizards and their descendants. Back then, not only had Divine-level Experts fallen in battle against the Ancient Wizards, it was rumored that even the almighty Creator was severely injured, which caused him to hide away for the following millions of years. If the talented Ancient Wizards returned to seek revenge, the outcome would be disastrous!
”Black eyes, black hair… Folks, we might have real trouble this time around!” The black-robed man by the name of Argos, who was leading the group, put on a grave expression when he remembered Yang Ling's appearance. He did not expect Yang Ling to be able to cause such an uproar after being hit by the Chilly Ice Spear. After a moment's deliberation, he said, ”Kanu, activate the Beacon Token, and request reinforcements immediately. We must be careful until reinforcements arrive. I hope that the young man is not connected with the Ancient Wizards; otherwise…”
Argos sat down on the ground after he gave these instructions. He remained silent, and he took a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down. His expression had not changed on the surface, but waves of shock gripped his heart. As the only remaining powerful fighter who had experienced the Great Battle of the Gods and Demons, no one knew more than he how terrifying the Ancient Wizards were.
Back then, they had achieved only a pitiful victory, even after powerful fighters from the various dimensions banded together, and the almighty Creator personally took action. They had only narrowly managed to force the Arc that the Ancient Wizards rode to the deepest regions of the boundless Unending Sea. Millennia had passed, and no one found any trace of them or knew where they truly went.
The outcome would certainly be disastrous if the Ancient Wizards who had vanished for millennia were to return. At the very least, it would spell an unimaginable tragedy for the Divine Branches and families who had attacked them in the past!
”Avalon, I will be reunited with you next year, after I finish my mission. You have to wait for me!” Argos took out a small fragrant handkerchief from within his robes and stroked it gently. For some reason, he missed his lover in the faraway Life Dimension at this moment. He did not know why he had such a sense of foreboding!
The instincts he had developed on the battlefield over millions of years were giving him a deep sense of unease!
The black-robed men who guarded the Skyreach Tower nervously mobilized their manpower. At the same time, Yang Ling welcomed a true transformation!
Starlight descended from the skies and morphed into the most primitive Chaotic Energy before fusing with his veins and seeping into his bones. His majestic Wizard Power and Mental Energy melded together perfectly. His body got stronger and stronger as it was enveloped in starlight. His flesh became harder than premium Divine Weapons and more flexible than Heavenly Cocoon Silk. His soul left his body and flew freely throughout the universe until it arrived at a vast galaxy.
He looked down at the creation and disappearance of Space Ion Storms from high above. He gazed down on all life and dispassionately witnessed the creation and destruction of dimensions! The Law of Ice, the Law of Earth, the Law of Power… All of these legacies of the Ancient Wizards surfaced in his heart. He gained new recognition and understanding of all the laws of the elements.
His body had been strengthened, and his soul had been enhanced!
With his mind clear, Yang Ling welcomed an unimaginable transformation. Unbeknownst to him, his abilities also underwent a massive change!
Within the boundless space was an unending, tangible white fog. It felt as though it was a wall with no edges. A black hole, deep beyond comprehension, was attached to that boundless wall. It released an aura that was unimaginably violent. Planets, storms, dust… In fact, even the light that passed through the area was devoured by the deep black hole…
