Chapter 532: Sea Agate
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Sometime later, Yang Ling suddenly saw a flash of light in his eyes. Opening his eyes to take a look, he saw a majestic castle in front of him, with opulent palaces spanning the area. The castle was enveloped by a silver glow, blocking it off from the seawater outside like a magical barrier. Looking up, all Yang Ling could see was the black mass of seawater.
An underwater world?
After shaking his heavy head, Yang Ling stood up effortfully, taking out a handful of Magical Beast Blood Orbs from his Space Ring. He consumed the Blood Orbs quickly to replenish his Wizard Power and stamina. If he was not wrong, he should have been dragged into this strange underwater castle by the terrifying vortex. There was a pile of sturdy meteors and bones beside him, scattered messily on the ground. Some of them had traces of water, while others were covered in dust. It looks like these were also items that had been sucked in by the whirlpool over the millennia.
“Oh, what is this? Why is it so cold?” Yang Ling bent over to pick up a translucent crystal by his feet. It was cold to the touch and covered with exquisite patterns. It looked a little like jade, but also like agate, without any impurities.
Could this be the legendary Sea Agate?
Yang Ling injected a shred of Mental Energy into the crystal in his confusion, and indeed, his energy was instantly absorbed by the translucent crystal. In both its appearance and characteristics, this item was incredibly similar to the Sea Agate recorded on the stele.
Other than the vast amount of Wizard Techniques, the stele also recorded many precious treasures of this world. Amongst them, the Sea Agate was one of the rarer items one could find. Wearing it on the body could boost the speed of recovery of his Wizard Power and Mental Energy. It could also be used to refine top-notch Wizard Weapons and was a core ingredient in creating top-notch Wizard Weapons for defending the soul. More importantly, it could also be used to form a body.
After cultivating Soul Wizard Techniques to the highest degree, one could completely subjugate the soul of his enemies, allowing him either forcefully separating the soul and body of his enemies or summoning the souls of the dead that had been scattered around the world. If the corpse has not rotted or suffered from great destruction, he could directly use it to contain the soul of the dead. If there was no corpse, he would either have to return the soul or create a new corpse using a precious material.
The Sea Agate was a necessary ingredient to create a new body!
In ancient times, due to the frequent conflict between tribes, coupled with the attacks from the evil demons, many warriors had died on the battlefield. After obtaining the Sea Agate, the Great Soul Wizards of the tribe could summon the souls of the deceased on the battlefield, using their unparalleled Wizard Techniques to revive the dead. As the Sea Agate was extremely rare, they would frequently only be able to revive the most powerful warriors of the tribe.
It was easier to obtain money than Sea Agate!
Yang Ling searched the area closely, finding five egg-sized Sea Agates near the pile of meteors and bones and carefully keeping them. He would not be able to find a rare item like this if he missed this opportunity. After making his way once around the area, Yang Ling decided to store all of the meteors and bones in the area into his Space Ring, prepared to go through them slowly in the future when he had time.
The vortex was extremely powerful, able to tear corals into pieces instantly. Even the Ground Guardian was not able to last against its impact. These meteors and bones being swept to this place in one piece showed that they must have exceptional hardness. Some of them harbored a massive ripple of energy, making them great ingredients when it comes to forging weapons.
After storing all of his loot, Yang Ling observed the magnificent underwater castle closely.
The underwater castle was huge, several dozen times, or even several hundred times larger than Wissen Castle. There was no end to the opulent palaces. The castle walls were over a hundred meters and completely pitch black. It was as if a massive creature was crawling in front of the castle.
The air was filled with an obscure ripple of energy. It was as if a giant Gravity Restriction had enveloped the entire castle, and his Divine Knowledge greatly weakened. The gravity here was much larger than that of the outside world. Yang Ling was unable to fly, no matter how many times he tried. Standing in front of the castle gate, all he could see was a tiny fraction of the entire castle.
Thump, thump, thump…
Waves of familiar ripples frequently came from deep within the majestic castle. Yang Ling sensed as though something was calling out to him. The pagoda-shaped brand between his brows pulsed. The closer he got to the castle, the faster the mark throbbed.
“Oh, Five-clawed Golden Dragon?”
Walking in through the castle gate, Yang Ling was extremely surprised when he saw the carving of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon baring its fangs on the castle gate. The dragons on the Tailun Continent were different than those he had seen on earth. They had two wings on their backs and looked like the lizards back on earth. Yang Ling did not expect to find a carving of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon here in this mysterious underwater castle.
Perhaps it had undergone a terrifying war, or perhaps it was the passage of time, the majestic castle was a little worn out. Even though the details on the Five-clawed Golden Dragon carving had faded off a little, its essence remained intact. It was nearly identical to the image of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon on the Wizard’s Pagoda. It was right before his eyes, so lifelike that it might have been the real thing.
Just who had built this underwater castle, why is there a carving of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon on the castle gate?
With heavy suspicion, Yang Ling pushed open the castle gate with force. A sinister wind blew past, bringing with it withered leaves. Looking up, the outer perimeter of the majestic castles was littered with large unknown trees, and a thick layer of fallen leaves had accumulated on the ground. Chittering could be heard from within the darkness. It felt as though some monster was hiding within, or a fleeting song was coming from deep within the palace, giving Yang Ling a sinister feeling.
The majestic palace spoke of its opulence and prosperity in the past, while the decayed leaves and torn walls exposed its current downfall!
Cautiously, Yang Ling quickly summoned the Corpse Wizard King, Dark Dragon King, and the rest of the group, forming a tightly-knit defensive formation before walking forward a step at a time. The Nine-headed Snake King Hydra transformed into a Medusa-like snake man, his expression sinister as he followed closely beside Yang Ling.
“Sir, be careful, there’s a thick aura of death in the air. If I am not wrong, there must be a large number of creatures buried within the castle. There may be a large number of undead and spirits.” The Corpse Wizard King had a grim expression, clutching tightly on the Death Horn in his hands.
As a Corpse Wizard King who had come from the Death Dimension, no one was more familiar with the aura of the undead than he was!
“That’s right. I can also smell the scent of a large number of dead souls.” The Nine-headed Snake King Hydra, who had taken on a human form, licked his withered lips, a streak of green light appearing in his eyes.
“Be careful, all of you. You are not to barge in recklessly without my orders!” Yang Ling gave a terse order, cautiously taking out his crystal skull.
The further they moved into the castle, the more obvious the sinister sensation became. The Corpse Wizard King, Hydra, and the rest of the group could sense a large number of dead souls, while as a Great Soul Wizard, Yang Ling was naturally no exception. Furthermore, he had also noticed a large number of signs of restrictions.
There were steles half-buried into the ground, a torn-down pavilion, stone doors that have crumbled…
Without exception, all the items he came across were carved with mysterious images, all of them releasing streaks of Wizard Power. Even though it was a little different from the Wizard Power in his body, Yang Ling could be sure that these ripples were unique to Wizard Power. Several of the restrictions no longer existed in this world, but they left behind traces that even time could not erase. The Corpse Wizard King, Hydra, and the rest of the group did not pay too much attention to the carvings, but they could not hide from the Great Soul Wizard.
Whoosh…
There were wide pathways connecting palace to palace, with large unknown trees planted at both sides. A sinister wind blew past, bringing with it a large bunch of withered leaves. Coupled with the dilapidated castle, it gave off the feeling of bleakness.
“Cold, so cold!” The demoness who was dressed in a thin robe shivered, trembling under the cold, sinister wind. This sinister wind was too strange. It made one cold straight to the core. Even their souls seemed to be about to freeze, much less their blood.
“This is a phantom wind that coexists with a large number of dead souls, be careful!” Seeing the exceptionally sexy demoness dressed only in a thin robe, the Corpse Wizard King shook his head. To this day, he did not know whether to call the other party Mister Sala or Miss Sala.
Hng…
The Corpse Wizard King had just finished his sentence when a large number of undead suddenly appeared from both sides, their numbers getting larger and larger. The blocked off the pathway in the blink of an eye. There were highly decomposed zombies, sinister-looking skeletons, as well as dead souls floating weightlessly in the air…
“Get into formation, don’t let them charge over!” Seeing the countless undead and spirits, Yang Ling quickly took out the Great Wizard Altar and sat cross-legged atop it.
“Hehehe, come, have a taste of the might of a Corpse Wizard!” Seeing that the undead and spirits were lacking consciousness, the Corpse Wizard King cackled loudly, unleashing his Mind Magic Field and Corpse Poison Domain before blowing into the Death Horn.
Hng…
A wave of black light spread in all directions, extending out one after the other. Wherever the wave passed, black smoke rose from the bodies of the undead and spirits before splattering onto the ground like rain. Some of them let out a strange cry, while others became motionless after struggling for a moment. Others directly scattered into the wind.
At the same time, the black gas released by their bodies turned into a ball, swarming into the Corpse Wizard King’s body through the Death Horn. The Corpse Poison surrounding the body of the latter increased in intensity, his ripples of energy becoming more and more obvious. It was clear that he had received a great benefit.
In the hands of the Corpse Wizard King Rodriguez, the legendary Core Divine Weapon Death Horn unleashed its terrifying power!
Hng…
Even though they had suffered heavy casualties, the undead and spirits still swarmed over when they caught a whiff of the scent of the living. Some of the undead, who seemed to have been Spellcasters while they were alive, even instinctively unleashed magic spells, manically attacking Yang Ling’s group. Walls of fire with blazing flames, giant icicles, as well as crackling ‘Break Through Time and Space’ techniques. The power of the spells was much stronger than the group could have imagined.
They could not imagine how powerful these people must have been while they were alive!
“Continuous Soul Explosion!” With the help of the Great Wizard Altar, Yang Ling formed a Wizard Seal and cast a large-scale Continuous Soul Explosion.
In that instant, it was as if a meteor had crashed into the calm surface of the sea, bringing with it soaring waves. There was a continuous sound of explosions. Within a radius of a few hundred steps from the Great Wizard Altar, both the zombies and the undead instantly fell onto the ground.
The Continuous Soul Explosion that was especially used to attack the soul was the nemesis of these undead creatures!
