Yang Ling wished to pull out the Battle Soul Blade immediately. Still, after he took a glance at the boundless ancient battlefield and observed with his senses the supreme wave of pressure and intense Energy Ripples emanating from the husky man in black armor, he didn’t dare to make rash actions.

He was a Great Soul Wizard, and he detected that the battlefield was engulfed by an Ancient Restriction Spell that strongly suppressed the wave of pressure and Energy Ripples of the husky man in black armor. As for the Battle Soul Blade that contained a large amount of Wizard Power, it was the core of the whole Ancient Restriction Spell.

The Godhead of the husky man in black armor was already shattered or taken out, but just his body alone contained a shocking amount of energy, and it formed a terrifying Energy Whirlwind in the sky atop the battlefield. If he pulled the Battle Soul Blade rashly, the whole castle might crumble, and none could ascertain that an accident wouldn’t occur.

“Let’s go and observe the surroundings.” The prudent Yang Ling walked around as he observed the situation of the surrounding, and he tried to understand the Ancient Restriction Spell’s mysteries. He could only come up with a way to take the Battle Soul Blade after understanding all sides’ situation.

When the crowd just started the exploration, they were quite careful and advanced slowly because they were afraid that a High-Level Magical Beast’s Dead Spirit would appear. But on the road, they had seen just a large number of Low-Level Zombies and Corpses, and they didn’t even see a single High-Level Divine Beast’s Dead Spirit. This was why they relaxed and started walking quicker.

“Oh, my God! There are several hundred Divine Beasts, yet not even a single Godhead was left.” Hydra shook its head helplessly.

At first, when it saw the terrifying Divine Beasts on the battlefield, it became full of expectation, and it hoped to pick and swallow several Godheads. But, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and after it ran around for more than an hour, it picked just some fragments of Godheads.

“That is right! They all lost their lives due to a single deadly stride, and the blade shattered their Godheads. It’s really too terrifying!” When the beauty Sala saw the innumerable corpses of High-Level Magical Beasts and the terrible wounds on their bodies, her scalp became numb. She was a great Mountain Queen that ran amok in Ural Mountain Range for thousands of years, and it was only on this day that she understood the great disparity between her and other people.

Even a divine beast with power at the peak of the High-Level Deity Stage could be killed by a single blade strike, let alone an insignificant Domain-Level Expert.

“Well? Your lordship, what is that?” The swift Giant Ape King pushed a pile of corpses and revealed a stele as tall as a human.

When Yang Ling walked over to take a look, he discovered that the stele was bone-chilling, and many mysterious symbols were carved on it. It emitted mysterious Energy Ripples that conformed with the Wizard Power’s ripples emitted by the Battle Soul Blade. It seemed like this was the Spell Base of the Ancient Restriction Spell.

“Well? Ancient Soul Tampering Technique?”

Yang Ling discovered many relief sculptures on the back of the stele, and they recorded a type of Soul Tampering Techniques. There weren’t just bold ancient characters carved there, there were still many pictures matching them, and this Soul Tampering Technique was basically the same as the one recorded in the Wizard Pagoda’s stele. Just some fine details were different, and they still didn’t provide a detailed explanation for some parts, even though they offered a detailed explanation about other matters due to Tailun Continent’s special situation.

“Your lordship! It’s here. There is another one here.” The Giant Ape King became more daring, and he quickly pushed a pile of corpses. He found another stele!

When Yang Ling walked over there to take a look, he discovered that the stele’s outward appearance was the same as the first stele, but the Wizard Spell recorded on its back was different.

One, two, three…

After two hours or more, the crowd toured the Ancient Battlefield and found in total 102 Steles with Soul Wizard Spells recorded on their backs. The lowest number of spells recorded was one, and the higher was three, but just half a piece of some steles was left here, and the words written on some became fuzzy. Moreover, they had even found six empty holes, and it seemed like the stele corresponding to them had already been destroyed or taken away by someone.

“Could it be that the old witch came to this ancient battlefield, found a stele accidentally, and managed to fathom the Wizard Spell recorded on it?” As Yang Ling recalled the old witch’s spell that resembled Wizard Spells and looked at the empty hole, he muttered to himself irresolutely.

Those steles that recorded Wizard Spells were also the Restriction Spell’s base that was linked with the Battle Soul Blade, and they formed a large Restriction Spell that suppressed the Dead Souls strongly on the ancient battlefield.

According to his comprehensive analysis, a Gravity Restriction Spell and Soul Restriction Spell was added atop the large Confining Restriction Spell to prevent the battlefield’s corpses from suffering any mutation, and after some steles were destroyed, the Restriction Spell was affected, and some corpses in the battlefield’s periphery turned into Dead Spirits. It was fortunate that High-Level Divine Beasts were in the inner region of the battlefield, and if this wasn’t the case, the whole castle would have been destroyed long ago by powerful Dead Spirits.

“Your lordship! A teleportation formation spell, there is a teleportation formation spell,” the Corpse Wizard King cried out in alarm and pushed away a layer upon layer of corpses with the help of the Giant Ape, Dark Dragon King, and others to reveal a large teleportation formation spell.

The teleportation formation spell was quite great, and it was bigger than the simple teleportation formation spells used by them usually. It was filled with Premium Crystal Ores of varied sizes, and many Level Surpassing Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals were inlaid on it. It emitted wave upon wave of intense Energy Ripples, and the Corpse Wizard King managed to discover the teleportation formation spell covered by the corpses by following the peculiar Energy Ripples.

“Well? Black eyes and black hair.” the beauty Sala discovered some broken stone pillars in the teleportation formation spell’s vicinity, and she saw some fuzzy pictures depicted on them. She cried out involuntarily, “Lord, are those your clansmen?”

Black-eyed and black-haired people weren’t seen just in Tailun Continent, and it was the same for other Planes. This was why when the beauty Sala saw the pictures on the stone pillars, she recalled Yang Ling’s mysterious family. Everyone had always believed that Yang Ling came from a powerful and mysterious family, but none knew the number of his relatives and where his family resided.

A marble pillar?

Yang Ling quickly took over the fragment of a stone pillar in the beauty Sala’s hands and observed it carefully. He was shocked by it greatly because this wasn’t a part of a stone pillar, but a marble pillar of China’s history, and it was a marble pillar made with white marble.

But, the pictures on the marble pillar were quite fuzzy, and the reason behind this was that they suffered heavy damages or that they were too old. One could only see faintly several black-eyed and black-haired people, and the dragon and phoenix design depicted on the marble pillar could also be faintly seen. But despite this, it could still be ascertained that this was a fragment of a marble pillar.

What kind of place was this? Who are Tailun Continent’s Ancient Wizards?

Yang Ling that stroked the familiar marble pillar, got more doubts and suspicions. Familiar-looking Wizard Spells, mysterious Restriction Spells, powerful battle blade, a golden dragon with five paws atop the city gate, as well as the marble pillar’s fragment in his hand.

Everything demonstrated that the castle on the seabed was a vestige left behind by Ancient Wizards, and the castle ended up in this state after a great battle. Just a single fragment was left from the totem-like marble pillar, and it could be discerned from this how tragic was the past’s battle.

Did they all die in battle, or did they leave the castle hurriedly?

Yang Ling observed the innumerable corpses in the vicinity and shook his head. Finding the remains of an Ancient Wizard among this pile of disorderly corpses wasn’t any different than a pipe dream. In addition, it seemed from this region’s situation that an Ancient Wizard’s power was quite great, and he could kill even a Divine Beast at the peak of the High-Level Deity Stage with a single strike. It was obvious that they wouldn’t die so easily, and they might have likely hidden their tracks to leave to avoid a terrifying enemy. This was why they had to leave hurriedly!

“My family is quite big, and it has many branches. In the past, many people wandered into different planes, and I can’t discern in a short while whether the people portrayed on the pictures are my clansmen.” Yang Ling revealed a wry smile and collected the damaged marble pillar’s fragment.

After the old witch fled back to the Demon Island, she would surely reinforce the Demon Island’s defense, and the terrifying Sea Demon King might go back at any moment. Even though the Sea Demon King couldn’t use the teleportation formation spell, a powerful High-Level Deity wouldn’t take a long time to fly back from Balark City, where the Dark Association was situated. Yang Ling was pressed for time, and he must quickly come up with a way to take the Battle Soul Blade before destroying the Demon Island at the highest speed possible.

There were many innumerable towering palaces, and they hid an unknown number of secrets related to Ancient Wizards, but they were protected by layer upon layer of Restriction Spells, and even a Great Soul Wizard-like Yang Ling didn’t dare to intrude into them rashly, let alone ordinary people. He must first destroy the Demon Island, kill the crazy old Pope before looking for time to explore the seabed castle slowly.

“Sala! Come over and help me repair this teleportation formation spell. As for the others, you should continue cleaning the battlefield and see whether there are any valuables treasures.” The Corpse Wizard King that hung the Death Horn on his waist instructed the crowd and started bustling.

Rodriguez was a Corpse Wizard King that comprehended Mind Magic Law and once commanded an army of a million troops. He didn’t just have powerful Mental Energy, but he also knew the ways of the world and the way to discern people’s thoughts through their body language. He had discerned that Yang Ling didn’t want to say anything related to his family, and this was why he prevented the beauty Sala, the Giant Ape King, and others from questioning Yang Ling further. After he had done so, he started repairing the damaged teleportation formation spell.

“Rodriguez, I must later concentrate on deciphering the battlefield’s Restriction Spell, and I will hand over all other affairs to you. Essence Crystals, Divine Weapons, and other treasures are secondary, and the most crucial matter is repairing the teleportation formation spell. We must snatch time to leave quickly. We already have a teleportation formation spell, and we can come inside later to explore this place at any time,” Yang Ling instructed the crowd before he strode toward the spacious region where the Battle Soul Blade was located.

Yang Ling had an experienced old man such as the Corpse Wizard King and didn’t have to get involved in many affairs. Even though the Corpse Wizard King had an eccentric temper and he could be even called perverted, he still had pretty good ability, and even though his battle prowess wasn’t the strongest. He was able to adapt to changes and organize the crowd well. There wasn’t any person with Yang Ling that could replace the Corpse Wizard King.

Whoever started the trouble should end it. It was only a Great Wizard that could break a Restriction Spell set up by a Great Wizard.

After Yang Ling made a tour around the battlefield, he quickly found a way to take the Battle Soul Blade safely. As long as he used Objects Assimilating Restriction Spell to collect the remaining 102 steles at the same time instantly, the Restriction Spell engulfing the whole battlefield would disappear. But, he must first deal with the Energy Whirlwind in the sky atop the battlefield and clear all energy on the ancient battlefield before doing so to prevent the occurrence of any accidents.

The Corpse Wizard King and Horned Soul Snakes desired the energy on the battlefield, but if he used them to absorb the energy on the battlefield, he would have to wait for a long time for them to absorb it cleanly. The energy condensed in the air was too tremendous, and there wasn’t just intense Magical Power, there was also messy Soul Energy. Even if he had 100 Horned Soul Snakes or 100 Corpse Wizard Kings, they still wouldn’t manage to absorb the energy cleanly in a short time. But, this still didn’t mean that he had no way to deal with this.

A single person couldn’t absorb such a large amount of energy in a short while, but the mysterious Wizard Pagoda could absorb anything, and the more, the better for it.
