A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1210: Shadow World of Darkness

Fifteen years later.

Even without communicating with other creatures, from the occasional appearances on the ground, the increasing traces of biological activity not smoothed by the Temporal Storm indicate that there is indeed a gathering place similar to the Coffin of Hope in this direction, and the Terror Croc Devourer did not deceive me.

The journey should not be too far.

Wu...

Above the cave, the Temporal Storm rages, under the sunken eyepits of the Terror Croc Devourer’s thick scales, pale yellow eyes quietly watch Green recording the experimental results amid the twisting light and shadows.

Under a microscope, dozens of blood samples are arranged with numbers.

Although Green is unwilling to linger in the Dimensional Esophagus for several eras, waiting to become one of the long-lasting old monsters, and then to fight one against three by defeating the other three Casket Ascenders and summon the Coffin of Hope with the Scepter of Hope as the final method to break through the constraints of the Dimensional Esophagus, he nevertheless plans to check the situation of other gathering places but has to make this worst-case plan.

So, even if Green’s hope to develop the Level 7 Wild Instinct transformation through the Ancestral Blood within his body is dim, but if using several eras of time as a base, there will still be a glimmer of hope!

Not giving up hope, Green has already planned quite a few ultimate experimental topics for the potentially long time he might spend in the Dimensional Esophagus.

Firstly, is the research in the Life Key knowledge domain.

The Life Key Genetic Domain research is not only the premise of the Ancestor of Sorcerers’ plan but also after his life evolution has reached its limit, following the Bloodline Sorcery of the Light of Hope, it opens the second breakthrough hurdle of the ancestor transformation, to be better prepared to confidently fight one against three, defeat the other Casket Ascenders, and leave the Dimensional Esophagus as soon as possible.

Next is the filling of the "Book of Truth".

The Forgotten Truth Spatiotemporal Sealing Technique in the future will not only be a powerful space-time sealing technique, as Xiao Ba said, but it is the foundation of the Secondary Lever Sealing Technique, and Green’s ability to perform the dimensional rift sealing technique without any sequela lies in this.

This requires Green to greatly expand the "Book of Truth" to meet the memory material needs of the dimensional gap sealing technique that span thousands of years.

Additionally, there are the six multifunctional Sorcery Instruments nurtured by the special abilities of the Ancient Giant Chi Demon.

The extreme abyss magic staff, Ninety-Nine Unity Sword, Nine Revered Mountains, Shadow Alteration Lantern, Soul Catcher’s Net, Amber Ring, after several eras in the dimensional esophagus, it is unimaginable what level of earth-shaking power these Sorcery Instruments will reach!

Finally, there is the Face of Truth and Truth Lever Magic Wand.

The Dimensional Esophagus constrains powerful beings from various world communities within the Endless World, being sealed here in itself symbolizes strength.

Among them, some special life forms possess novel perception systems worth intensive study by Green. The existence of the Face of Truth signifies insight into the barrier between appearance and truth, requiring tireless efforts to constantly fill in new insight perception systems.

But for the Face of Truth to become a supreme artifact similar to a civilization’s foundation, besides these scattered new perception systems, it also needs something similar to the Eye of the World to trigger its complete transformation.

Therefore, the Face of Truth still has a long way to go.

As for the Truth Lever Magic Wand, it is quite fortunate. The Balance Lever of Light and Grand World Sphere obtained by Green in the Dimensional Esophagus are perfect materials for crafting the wand head and wand body.

However, assembling it into a civilization’s supreme artifact, especially the supreme artifact Green wishes to rival the Destiny Lever Wand, requires a long journey.

Currently, Green only possesses these two treasures, the Balance Lever of Light and the Grand World Sphere.

He is very satisfied with the Balance Lever of Light as the wand body, but regarding the wand head that determines the wand’s attributes, the Grand World Sphere is not considered perfect in Green’s mind, and how to connect the two together, adding the functionality of the dimensional gap rune brand is also a great challenge.

Furthermore, in Green’s mind, there is a higher plan to combine the Grand World Sphere with the infinite unknown fate of "Grimm’s Fairy Tales", attempting to enhance its dimensional creation function, to create an entirely new box within the Endless World to counter the existence of higher dimensions outside the box!

Such a series of ambitious plans are advancing step by step within Green’s mind.

At this moment, the Terror Croc Devourer, who is sheltering from the Temporal Storm in the cave, is merely a passerby silently observing Green’s progress along the long path of the wizard.

As the noisy sound of the Temporal Storm overhead gradually calms down, Green puts away his experimental instruments.

"Let’s go, it shouldn’t take much longer to arrive."

With these words, Green flew out of the cave first.

But just as the Terror Croc Devourer was about to follow, suddenly, Green, just out of the cave, abruptly stopped. The heavy atmosphere immediately made the Terror Croc Devourer scream in terror and fall back into the depths of the cave.

"Whoosh," the flames of the Source of Darkness burn fiercely, Green’s face filled with solemnity!

"Dark Shadow Illusory World?"

At this moment, under the Green Truth Mask, the three-colored light eyes gaze in all directions. Through this Temporal Storm, the surroundings have already connected with some Illusory World, and the rules have drastically changed!

Twisted black smoke gathers in the air, constantly dispersing, forming various shapes, and more noteworthy to Green are the shadows attached to the ground, appearing fleetingly.

"Roar! Great Oblivion Sorcerer, save me!"

In the cave, the Terror Croc Devourer roars in terror.

In the relatively dark cave, countless vague twisted shadows can be faintly seen attacking the Terror Croc Devourer’s shadow, as if they were teams of ferocious soldiers.

From the continuous screams and the shadow’s mutilation of the Terror Croc Devourer, it is suffering some kind of phantom rule damage.

This is an eerie phantom rule akin to the Ashen World!

"If it really is the Dark Shadow World..."

Green murmured, suddenly beckoning, unleashing the purest Source of Darkness without any Flame Soul Fire mixed in, it rushed towards the cave, to the howling Terror Croc Devourer.

Almost at the moment Green’s Source of Darkness descended, the Terror Croc Devourer’s screams stopped, and it looked around in horror at the fleeting twisted shadows.

"Great Oblivion Sorcerer, wh-what is this!?"

This brand-new unknown creature caused the Terror Croc Devourer to tremble in the deepest part of its soul.

In the Grand World, infinite and endless, nothing is impossible. Once relying on its sturdy scales and powerful bite force, it thought it was invincible—it was indeed too naive.

"This is likely the Dark Shadow World, a deeper Illusory World connected within the Dark Realm Illusory World. They will devour our shadows, and then we will be completely pulled into the Dark Shadow World by the rules, becoming one of them, turning into new Dark Shadows."

Once, the Dark Realm Stigmata Sorcerer of the Seven-Ring Holy Tower and the Black Tower Stigma Sorcerer both perished under King Abaddon’s Infernal Furnace.

Green’s research into the Dark Shadow is precisely because of his connection to the Dark Realm Stigmata Sorcerer.

"But rest easy, these Sources of Darkness can perfectly protect us from being sensed by them. Let’s hurry and leave here."
