Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 834

Chapter 831 The Comet Gate and the Life-Stealing Sphere’s Ultimate Magic

A series of coordinates appeared in Locke’s hands, and he immediately summoned his mount, the Rainbow Sparrow. A rainbow in the shape of a peacock appeared in the sky.

The Rainbow Sparrow was merely a special celestial body created by a weatherman, capable of interacting with the outside world. It wasn’t a living being, nor a mechanical being, but it closely resembled a car.

Wizards could increase the Rainbow Sparrow’s speed by infusing it with their magic; similarly, the Cloud Whale had the same function.

At this moment, Locke’s magical pressure continued to rise, and a full moon fell from the sky to the earth behind him. Simultaneously, a slender sword-shaped Pinellia ternata with a Buddha’s Flame bud appeared in his hand. Locke

inserted the Pinellia ternata into the Rainbow Sparrow beneath his feet, and instantly, the Rainbow Sparrow burst into flames, like an immortal bird reborn from the ashes.

Jin Yuntao’s magic flowed through the Pinellia ternata, flowing into the Rainbow Sparrow and transforming into golden clouds beneath it.

Locke headed directly towards the target location.

At this moment, Trajan’s avatar, who was overseeing affairs at the True Knowledge Academy on the main mountain of Golden Crown Mountain, looked up, glanced at the sky in astonishment, and revealed a strange expression.

“Who has offended Junior Brother?”

“Junior Brother’s personality is just as irritable as mine when I was young.”

Trajan glanced at the two golden clouds of the Rainbow Sparrow beneath Locke’s feet.

“Golden Cloud Peaches can reduce the energy dissipation of extreme magic and increase the movement speed of various spells. However, Junior Brother has spent too little time on my Golden Crown Mountain and has obtained too few Golden Cloud Peaches.”

“The more Golden Cloud Peaches one eats, the greater the blessing one receives. How can one or two be enough? If it were a few years ago, when I had fewer students, I would have directly given this Junior Brother, who suits my taste, several Golden Cloud Peaches.”

“Not now. I have many more students. I must consider the interests of my students.”

At this moment, a comet gate suddenly appeared in front of the Rainbow Sparrow beneath Locke’s feet, and Locke disappeared through the comet gate.

Trajan was slightly astonished.

“The Comet Gate… although it’s only a second-ring magical artifact, it’s still quite attractive even to a Sun-ring wizard. How could he possess such a valuable and rare magical artifact?”

At the second-ring stage, only a few magical artifacts can be imbued with extremely powerful magic, and each of these artifacts is a heirloom that can be passed down through generations.

The Comet Gate is one of those few magical artifacts capable of being imbued with extremely powerful magic.

This was Locke’s reward for completing the fourth Heavenly Ladder of the Feathered Serpent Pavilion.

At this moment, Locke passed through the magical gate that resembled a comet, and about ten minutes later, he appeared in a location ten thousand kilometers away.

Ten thousand kilometers away, in the Golden Crown Mountain region, in the capital of a mortal empire.

At this moment, all the mortals in the capital of the entire mortal empire, whether nobles, commoners, or the mortal king of this region, all showed expressions of terror, because four six-eyed, six-winged vampire demon gods had appeared in the sky above the capital city.

It was as if the deepest vampire demons from the Blood River Plane had appeared in this mortal city, causing many nobles and commoners to even suspect the end of the world.

With the arrival of the four vampire demons, the surrounding sky turned blood-red, heavy and oppressive. Many mortals were bitten by some unknown animal and transformed into vampire servants, becoming

material for the four vampire demons’ spells.

Inside the Imperial Palace, the second-class wizard apprentice of the Eternal Radiance Hall, who was also the headmaster of a secondary academy there, looked up at the sky in terror. The

portly emperor pleaded with the headmaster, “My lord wizard, if this continues, all the people of my country will die! You must do something for them! You are a wizard, and they are wizards too. You must have a way to save my country.” The headmaster’s face was

filled with fear and a bitter smile.

Do something?

How could he do anything?

Those were four second-ring wizards; the mere aftershocks of their battle would be enough to kill him.

No, just being too close was enough to shatter his soul structure with that magical pressure.

Although the mortal emperor beside him might think he was better equipped to handle the situation and understood what was happening, he was wrong.

He was completely bewildered. All

he could do was use a special magical artifact to inform the higher-ups at the Hall of Eternal Radiance and hope they would send a second-circle wizard as soon as possible.

After all, this human empire—the Crimson Stone Empire—was a crucial talent pool for the Hall of Eternal Radiance, boasting three secondary academies and twenty-one elementary academies.

Furthermore, this mortal nation possessed unique mineral resources—Crimson Stone ore. The Hall of Eternal Radiance had established dedicated mines there, employing mortals to mine the ore for them.

At this moment, this second-class wizard apprentice could recall at least a dozen wizarding laws from the White Wizarding Association to demonstrate that this mortal nation was a member of the Everlasting Radiance Hall’s affiliated mortal nations, telling the four second-ring wizards that this place was the private property of their Everlasting Radiance Hall, and that every mortal within this mortal nation was under their protection.

But he dared not speak,

fearing the god-like, demon-like beings fighting above the capital would punish him.

At this moment, among the four wizards with vampire demonic bodies above the capital, three were second-ring wizards from the Pale Pilgrimage’s Blood Demon Palace, their magic pressure all around 15,000, while one was Hussein, whose magic pressure was only slightly over 10,000.

They all had six eyes and six wings, while Hussein had six eyes, six arms, and six wings.

Their ultimate magic was this vampire demonic body; they exchanged blows, each punch landing squarely, each strike causing the air to groan and the earth to groan.

The three pale-faced black wizards on their pilgrimage were astonished to find that although Hussein’s magical pressure was low, he held his own against their combined attacks.

All three were direct descendants of the progenitor wizards, vampires, and strictly speaking, should have been stronger than this half-baked vampire. However, the reality was the opposite.

They exchanged glances, realizing that Hussein’s conversion ritual was superior to theirs.

This meant that although Hussein’s base magical pressure was 5,000 lower than theirs, and he was alone, his well-constructed vampire conversion ritual resulted in a higher instantaneous magical pressure amplification and lower energy dissipation for his ultimate spells.

This explained the strange situation.

While for most wizards, magical pressure and the level of mastery of ultimate spells were directly proportional, this only applied when two wizards had similar aptitudes.

In this case, there were only two possibilities:

either Hussein’s natural talent was far superior to theirs, or the vampire magic he possessed was better than theirs.

Hussein came from humble origins, a lower-ranking wizard.

This meant his first transformation ritual couldn’t have been particularly advanced, and his progress couldn’t possibly compare to that of the direct descendants of the progenitor wizards.

The problem must lie in his own second transformation ritual.

This second transformation ritual, performed during the era of constructing ultimate magic, occurred in a medium-sized world. It involved obtaining the World Stone and becoming the world’s representative, then transforming oneself into a “Life Thief” in that world.

Ordinary life gradually declines and dies in the flow of life, only to be reborn.

But by performing the second transformation ritual, one can become a life thief, a life stealer in that world, gaining the status of a vampire grand marquis!

The permanent defensive force field of their progenitor wizard lineage is the Vampire Transformation Blood Curse, and their ultimate magic is the “Life Stealing Ritual – Ultimate Magic.”

In other words, the true essence of these vampire wizards’ ultimate magic lies in an identity obtained through the Life Stealing Ritual. This identity is confirmed through a series of rituals, including the Life Stealing Ceremony, that took place in that world.

The vampire Grand Marquis identity obtained through the Life Stealing Ritual in that world superimposes with the permanent defensive field of the wizarding world, transforming into the vampire demon god’s body,

also known as the Blood Ancestor’s Body.

It can be said that the reason the wizards of the Primordial Wizard lineage are so powerful is because the Primordial Wizards created a system that resonates ultimate magic with a permanent defensive field, forming the Blood Ancestor’s Body.

This results in these Primordial Wizards’ students possessing powerful melee combat abilities, regenerative abilities, immortality, and even lifespans exceeding those of ordinary second-ring wizards.

This is because they can extend their lifespan by absorbing the life force of beings in that medium-sized world, as well as the lower-ranking vampires of their own lineage.

Of course, as a price to pay, vampires are naturally restrained by sunlight and certain natural forces.

This is because of a design flaw left over from the primordial wizard’s construction of the [Ultimate Magic – Perpetual Defensive Force Field Shell Linkage System], which caused it to be rejected by natural forces.

To enhance the vampires’ immortality, a series of reactions occurred, resulting in a situation where sunlight and certain magical plants in the world where their rituals were held could more easily kill them.

At this moment, the three pale-faced pilgrims exchanged glances, all feeling the pressure.

Deep incomprehension was evident in their eyes.

Vampire wizards have two serious forms of worship: the worship of antiquity and the worship of bloodlines.

There are reasons for this.

The Life Stealing Ritual requires the use of the bloodline power of a high-ranking being to elevate one’s own status, thus enabling the [Reversal of Life] to steal the life force of that world.

The stronger the ancient bloodline power used in the ritual, the higher the foundation of a vampire wizard’s ultimate magic.

Furthermore, the Life Stealing Ritual must be repeated every ten years in that world to strengthen the ritual itself, while simultaneously increasing the vampire wizard’s own ultimate magic through the sacrifice of high-level bloodlines.

Once the ritual ceases, it may be forgotten or decline. In such a case, the vampire wizards will gradually decline, potentially even leading to the collapse of their ultimate magic.

Of course, only the first Life Stealing Ritual is the most complex and resource-intensive.

Subsequent rituals are simply simplified versions.

This is why vampire wizards have bloodline and ancient worship practices. The longer a vampire wizard lives, the more times they repeat the Life Stealing Ritual in ten-year cycles, resulting in larger-scale ultimate magic and higher total magical pressure.

If they acquire high-level magical creature bloodlines from the wizarding world and incorporate them into the ritual,

their magical pressure will increase during the ten-year cycle.

This means that vampire wizards who acquire more high-level bloodlines, use higher-level bloodlines initially, and live longer are naturally more powerful.

Therefore, the Blood Demon Palace of the Pale Pilgrimage inherently possesses these two forms of worship.

But at this moment, the three men’s eyes showed doubt.

What merit did Hussein possess?

Was he a direct descendant of the noble progenitor wizard, one of the six great clans?

Was he one of the seven great clans descended from the progenitor wizard’s seven students?

He was nothing.

To put it bluntly,

someone of Hussein’s birth wasn’t even worthy of being a blood slave for those noble clans in the Pale Pilgrimage.

They could only serve as blood slaves for weak clans that branched out during historical changes.

And did Hussein live long?

No, he probably never even performed the second Life Stealing Ritual.

The essence of the vampire wizard’s ultimate magic is this ritual, which is continuously performed in that world, tracing the life force of that world, stealing its power, and simultaneously bringing a new undead race to that world—that’s how the Life Stealing Ritual works.

So, why is it that such a young person with low bloodline, whose magical pressure is even lower than theirs, can fight three against one?

Among the three, one vampire wizard sneered, “Hussein, you can’t escape. You are the blood bag of the progenitor wizard. Now come back with us. Otherwise, wait for us to tear off your limbs and take you back.”

Another vampire wizard seemed not to believe that Hussein could resist them, and in horror, threw a punch at Hussein, only to have it caught by Hussein’s two enormous hands, then violently lifted him up and threw him behind him.

That vampire wizard was incredibly frustrated.

“Just a low-level blood pack from a lower-level wizarding land, and this has happened.”

He himself was slammed heavily onto a mountain, his Blood Ancestor body crushing the mountain.

The other two vampire wizards immediately extended their blood claws at him, their claws wrapped in an extremely terrifying blood explosion curse. Any living being struck by this curse would have their blood and qi reversed in the next instant, followed by an explosion.

Hussein could only retreat.

‘Fighting these guys, even if I could win, I would at least be seriously injured. If I am seriously injured, my growth would be severely hampered. Otherwise, I could directly kill these three. The difficulty is to kill them as without taking any damage as possible.’ ‘These

fools don’t know the true use of the Life Stealing Instrument. They still think the Life Stealing Instrument is just a ritual used to create vampires, reverse life, and steal the power of the world.’

Hussein shook his head slightly. It seems that most of the vampire wizards left behind by the progenitor wizard and his students are now just good-for-nothings.

Hussein observed the situation. As a dark wizard from the Blood Curse Court, he was an opportunist. Although currently helpless, he was observing everything unfolding, trying to find an opportunity to turn the tide.

For him, this “adversity” meant killing three second-circle wizards with higher magical pressure than himself without risking injury.

The three second-circle wizards seemed to have lost patience. In the next moment, their bodies were enveloped in blood magic, and they simultaneously activated the Life Stealing Ritual on the beings of their respective worlds, forcibly performing a ritual to absorb the energy of the life forms in those three medium-sized worlds and transfer it to themselves.

Instantly, the bodies of these three second-circle wizards swelled up.

Only their upper bodies swelled; strangely, their lower bodies remained their original size.

Their upper bodies were at least three times their original size, causing their bodies to transform into those of serpent kings, upright, swaying and wielding their power.

Throughout the capital of the mortal empire, many mortals were horrified to discover that their blood was uncontrollably flowing towards the three vampire demons.

The three pale, second-ringed wizards bared their fangs.

“We’re losing patience, Hussein. You can’t escape.”

“Kill him quickly. Otherwise, things will get complicated when the second-ringed wizards from the Hall of Eternal Radiance arrive. Anyway, he’s a blood vessel of the Primordial Wizard, a testament to the Primordial Wizard’s second ring; his vitality is strong. Even if we force him to die, he shouldn’t be completely annihilated.”

Hussein, facing the mountains of blood and the three deformed demons, frowned. Suddenly, amidst the blood-soaked storm and chaotic magic, a beam of bright moonlight fell.

Screams, fear, and unease seemed to freeze in that moonlight.

A sense of tranquility descended upon everyone.

Hussein sensed that familiar demonic pressure.

“He really came.”

Hussein’s expression was strange.

He had never felt the concern of his comrades in the Blood Curse Court; all he had felt was deception and betrayal.

At the Mithril Law Firm, he encountered clients carrying various legal disputes, as well as lawyers equally scheming and manipulative.

It could be said that, apart from his time at Lilith’s Cottage, he had spent the rest of his life constantly witnessing the evil of humanity.

Now, Locke’s two acts of kindness, though driven by self-interest, made Hussein realize for the first time that Locke was a reliable friend.

The three vampire wizards immediately looked up and roared.

“Who are you?”

“Who dares to interfere in the internal affairs of the Pale Pilgrimage?”

“This matter has nothing to do with innocent bystanders. Once we have hunted down this traitor of the Pale Pilgrimage, we will withdraw on our own.”

In the sky, an arched moon gate appeared, with a lattice screen featuring ice-crack patterns and elegant plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum designs.

The screen gradually moved open, like the transition from crescent moon to full moon.

Then, the screen disappeared, revealing a full moon behind the moon gate.

Then, the moon gate itself vanished.

This was the Moon of Evolution, arriving from a thousand miles away.

Locke appeared under the moonlight, looking at his semi-transparent body.

“Hmm? This isn’t spatial teleportation, but rather a rapid traversal on a spiritual level using the comet’s spiritual energy. It seems it can only be used within a wizarding land, unable to cross natural barriers.”

“It takes about a minute, accelerating travel by a thousand kilometers. But it’s actually only suitable for traveling within a wizarding land or a colony world, since the Comet Gate’s method of traversal isn’t teleportation.”

“After I arrived, my body was still in a spiritual dormant state, requiring about three minutes to shake it off.” Therefore,

it’s unsuitable for use in combat.

Even so, the Comet Gate greatly reduced the dissipation of his ultimate magic.

The reason is simple.

Due to the Comet Gate’s characteristics, his Evolution Moon can appear in a wizarding land, or anywhere within the same world, through the Comet Gate.

Furthermore, the Evolution Moon can move using moonlight.

This results in the Comet Gate actually enhancing the Evolution Moon’s omnipresence—

that is, enhancing its ability to move using moonlight.

Locke even noticed that the ability of the Evolution Moon to reflect the past and present had been enhanced by the Comet Gate.

“It took me quite a bit of time to add this comet gate to the ultimate spell. After all, some spell models needed to be adjusted. Jin Yuntao’s golden cloud can directly carry the Moon of Evolution, while magical artifacts are inanimate objects, not so flexible. Only by fine-tuning the spell model can the two be compatible.”

Locke frowned as he looked down at the three vampire wizards who resembled snake kings. However, he hadn’t had three minutes yet, so he couldn’t do anything but speak.

Locke stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing aura, looking down at the three vampire wizards.

“Where is this place?”

Since he had to wait three minutes, he couldn’t give them a chance to react.

The three vampire wizards were immediately stunned.

One of the vampire wizards said, “This is the Golden Crown Mountain region of Cloud Swamp Wetlands. Is this second-ring wizard a senior researcher at Golden Crown Mountain?”

“But you’re not a demon hunter from the Golden Crown Mountain region, so why are you meddling in our affairs?”

Locke stood with his hands behind his back, looking at them.

“The Golden Crown Mountain region is the backyard of my Golden Crown Mountain. Any dark wizard who sets foot here will be instantly killed by me, the Eye Demon Archmage. Dark wizards are forbidden here. You have three minutes to leave, and I will forgive and forget.”

Since only Hussein, a second-circle wizard and his friend, was present,

Locke immediately activated his Beast Panel, increasing his magic pressure by 3,000.

The Comet Gate further increased his Great Magic by 100 magic pressure.

In other words, his current magic pressure was 19,103!

Under this immense pressure, the three dark wizards, whose confidence had already been shattered by Hussein, became disoriented.

One dark wizard said, “Dark wizards are forbidden here?”

“The Golden Crown Mountain region is their backyard?”

“This guy is too domineering!”

Another second-circle dark wizard, seeing Locke’s overbearing attitude, wavered and hesitated.

“The Golden Crown Mountain region is so vast, does it all belong to them? They kill any black wizard who sets foot there? This is too domineering. I don’t believe it…”

Locke counted the time, and just as the three black wizards were shaken by his presence, three minutes were up!

Locke, having broken free of his spiritual concealment, didn’t bother with further words and attacked directly. Six branches of twelve-flowered Great Glazed Winter Green Plum blossoms appeared in his hand, using the “One Tree Cannot Support” technique.

Furthermore, the Evolution Moon used its lunar cultivation method to strengthen the Great Glazed Winter Green Plum blossoms.

He unleashed a killing move.

An ice crystal ring appeared on each of the twelve plum blossoms, enveloping the three second-ring black wizards, gathering their magic power, freezing their bodies, and dormant their magic.

Under the Evolution Moon’s blessing, the Great Glazed Winter Green Plum blossoms seemed to summon the dormant winter of all things.

Snow fell heavily.

The sea of blood froze.

A tiger’s eye appeared on Locke’s forehead, discerning their weaknesses.

These three dark wizards possess worlds of medium scale; therefore, he must force them into a world war!
