A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1207: Chapter 1208: The Collapsing Terror Crocodile

Terror Croc Devourer, once in the Swamp World, boasted its demon crystal scale armor and rampaged through, gradually becoming the apex predator of the food chain.

With formidable defensive power and deathly rolls, it was fueled with boundless confidence; trapped at the peak of Level Five, it was urgently in need of more resources to support its evolution. Clearly, Swamp World, as a small realm, could no longer support its evolution to a higher biological order.

Thus, the world invasion war began!

At the peak of the demon crystal, similarly a Level Five creature, Terror Croc Devourer was confident in defeating it, for it was the endless confidence brought by the scale armor it was so proud of.

The showdown at the Sacred Mountain Summit revealed an ability, mysterious and unheard of in the Swamp World, pulling it into a grey rift, landing in this endless land of bones.

The initial arrogance was soon drowned in endless fear.

In this world, Terror Croc Devourer felt as if it had returned to its childhood, as a humble predator at the lowest level of the Swamp World, struggling through the marsh dominated by giant creatures.

Every hunt required extra caution, as it could anytime become the food in the eyes of other terror creatures!

Here, the prideful scale armor could no longer bring any sense of safety to the Terror Croc Devourer. In the ensuing years, it finally learned that this place was called Dimensional Esophagus, and the reason for ending up here was... the Sealing Skill!

Until that day, the hungry Terror Croc Devourer, after paying a hefty price in injuries, finally defeated another exile World Master and indulged in the spoils of its conquest.

However!

With strange lights suddenly rising from the earth in all directions, Terror Croc Devourer thought some kind of Illusory World rule had descended. In its fear, before it could react, seven points of light shot out in succession from a portal in the high sky, surrounding it completely.

Among them were six terrifying beings with identical auras, whose earth-shattering fear made it feel petrified, powerless against their whims.

And if these six identical beings brought fear, then this terrifying lifeform, tearing through lights from all directions like a light-dark swirling black hole devouring everything, induced a sense of overwhelming crushing might.

This feeling, it had played out countless times in Swamp World!

The World Master hunts lower beings, not needing to capture; the superiority of life level makes any resistance and escape meaningless.

Ten full days passed.

Terror Croc Devourer and six Oblivion Avatars, along with the perfectly Oblivion Fit Green, stood like statues, unmoving, an extremely eerie atmosphere.

Terror Croc Devourer felt its heart occupied by endless shadows, surrounded by these figures for ten days, on the verge of collapse!

Until then, Green, at the center of the light-dark twisted confluence, allowing no room for any error, suddenly moved.

"A hundred and twenty hourglasses as a growth node, a year as thirty-six point five nodes, an epoch as three hundred sixty-five million nodes, hiss, really going to be trapped in the Dimensional Esophagus for several epochs, becoming one of the eternal monsters here!"

Even a mere half-hourglass time node error, magnified across several epochs, will result in tens of thousands fold annihilation increase.

If Green stays in the Dimensional Esophagus for four epochs, it’s a million four hundred sixty thousand-fold increase.

If he stays for five epochs, it’s a million eight hundred twenty-five thousand-fold increase.

If he stays for six epochs, it’s a two million nineteen thousand-fold increase!

Such terrifying amplification, coupled with Green’s inherent annihilation force’s twenty thousand-degree base attack performance, and the body’s eighty-five thousand-degree strength attack limit enhancement, even self-seal eruption, this could allow a Sixth Level creature a brief confrontation against Endless Dominators, entirely possible!

Although possessing the Omnipotent Soul, Endless Dominators are almost inherently undefeatable. Once Green’s self-sealing eruption ends, retreat is the only option, but managing to confront Endless Dominators at Level Six life is absolutely a legendary level terrifying existence.

Perhaps even in the deepest Illusory of Endless World, Dimensional Esophagus, such beings wouldn’t exist in abundance.

Such existence could almost entirely suppress the Infernal Purgatory status of King Abaddon, resisting its Infernal Purgatory Furnace status!

Amidst numerous thoughts, Green didn’t decide whether to truly linger for such long durations, treating it as a contingency plan.

After all, Green’s Saint Trace Soul, as he estimated, due to frequent damage, cannot maintain longevity akin to some terrifying old monsters within Dimensional Esophagus.

Even combined with Dimensional Esophagus sacrificial acceptance extending slightly, a long stay would mean even if escaping via Coffin of Hope, uncertainties of landing among Endless World clusters or in the void.

The path home remains long.

For Green, possibly wandering among world clusters, searching for the way home to Wizard World, ample time offers more assurance, but conversely, the shorter the Dimensional Esophagus stay, the lower the chances of leaving successfully with Scepter of Hope.

If defeated, and Scepter of Hope seized by other Casket Ascenders, remaining trapped inside Dimensional Esophagus spells a dead-end!

Looking at it this way, perhaps truly an opportunity to explore other gathering places within Dimensional Esophagus for chances, and challenge other top-tier life forms’ power.

Green let out a long breath, ready to search aimlessly while meditating spiritual power to six hundred and fifty points maximum, suddenly realizing his six Oblivion Source Avatars stood motionless like statues.

And the Level Five Scale Armor Beast, within his and several avatars’ encirclement, seemed petrified as well.

"What are you doing?"

In the light and dark twist, Green conveyed an astonished intent.

"Woo woo woo, great unknown mighty one, just eat me quickly, it’s been ten days, don’t scare me anymore!"

With a "boom," Terror Croc Devourer sprawled on the ground, its massive body trembling, thoroughly collapsing, willing to be killed to end the heart-pounding terror.

No wonder, after ten days, anyone would collapse.

Surrounding battle marks, soon erased by Temporal Storms, were from Terror Croc Devourer and its prey’s struggles.

"Eat you? Uh..."

Green pondered briefly, since reaching his physique limit, halting passive evolution, he stopped using Philosopher’s Stone, relying on Elemental Wizard’s elemental mastery, thus feeling hardly hungry, never considering eating the big guy.

"Hmm? What are you doing?"

Green addressed six Oblivion Source Avatars.

"Wahaha, I give up, I give up, can’t take it anymore, wahahaha."

The Oblivion Source Avatar, composed of fifty percent joy, forty percent amusement, ten percent sorrow, couldn’t help but point at Terror Croc Devourer laughing "hahaha."

"It’s asking us to actively eat it, hahaha..."

"Tch, boring, I’m a vegetarian."

"See, I said it was definitely scared the main body would eat it."

The Oblivion Source Avatars argued, playing a childish still game, Green shook his head, retracting the avatars.

Currently, compared to before upgrading, there was no fundamental change in power.

But still, the passive evolution limit combined with elemental surge dual fulcrum lever’s force suffices to make Green disdain this Level Five creature.

Surrounded by seven beings surpassing Trick Crystal Terminator Elite, no wonder it’s trembling, motionless.

"Know where any strong beings gather nearby?"

Green tried asking the Scale Armor Beast.

"Yes!"

Terror Croc Devourer roared, fearing being deemed useless by Green and eaten, its vehement reaction startled Green.

"In that direction, I heard from an Ice Skeleton, there’s a gathering place called the Collapse End Point!"
