Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 1181: Chapter 546: Earth Veins in Turmoil

When everything was ready, they began a comprehensive dissection of the core part of the spore parent cluster.

In the silent realm where the sensation of frozen time spread instantly, the obsidian blade was slowly inserted into the massive fungal body, causing the area where the tendrils twisted to emit a ghostly blue cold glow, like ripples surging in a nocturnal ocean.

A burst of piercing cold accompanied by a slight vibration reached the skin surface of all members, compelling them to hold their breath and gaze at the focal point—the small rocky structure concealing life’s mystery or the root of destruction, known as the "Dimension Ice Crystal."

David restrained his inner agitation, cautiously adjusting the resonance frequency of his Frost Wolf Bloodline, suppressing his mental consciousness to an optimal balance point to resist the impact from temporal distortion.

He gazed ahead, continuously perceiving the subtle gap where the void and reality intertwined, as the crystal with watery sheen and fragmented blue vein patterns emitted bizarre resonance waves, forming a unique synergy with his bloodline rhythm while concealing danger...

In an instant, countless subtle yet absurdly sharp spatial turbulence surged forth like roaring waves.

In a moment, all creation fell silent, the earth seemed to have devoured all sounds, leaving only a faint ghostly blue glow swirling in the air, intertwining with the snowflakes falling from the sky into a dreamlike illusion realm.

Yet everyone was aware of the perilous edge lurking behind this dream before the impending disaster...

"Steady! Do not panic!"

Liya’s voice was firm and loud, she extended her arms, unleashing a brilliant white halo that illuminated the surroundings, while swiftly deploying a powerful mental barrier to cover all members, protecting them from the ravaging influence of chaotic currents and reweaving the remaining order within the barrier into a sturdier, unbreakable spatial stronghold.

Meanwhile, Amy adjusted the angle of her magic staff, reinforcing the power of the zero-domain field encircling the entire experimental area, and outputting reverse frequency oscillation to counteract part of the energy load, providing the team with precious time for balance.

And Reina wielded her blades vigorously, swiftly clearing the peripheral area of the small parasitic tendril fog awakened by the residual chaos, ensuring a safe environment for the main array to carry forward the battle rhythm smoothly...

After several hours of relentless, high-intensity synchronized spellcasting and collaborative efforts, they finally managed to suppress the rampant energy leakage from the "Dimension Ice Crystal."

The ancient and forbidden power granting parasites infinite life activity was gradually uncovered, offering them a glimmer of hope: If they could master and appropriately utilize this unique energy, even in the face of dark encroachment, they might find a way to reverse the situation!

In the fatigued yet immensely excited group, every face bore cautious yet fervent conviction.

Some were bewildered, some were terrified, some were excited, but most had rekindled a long-lost battle spirit, like the first warm sunlight piercing through the Far North’s gloom, pointing the way forward and steadfastly urging them to continue fighting!

Mornlight gradually flooded the icy Far North plain, but the cold remained as biting as a blade.

In the camp, the remnants of the fire emitted a faint glow, illuminating the faces etched by the harsh environment.

They had just undergone the dissection and control of the spore parent cluster’s core "Dimension Ice Crystal," yet their weary bodies had not recovered before facing a new crisis.

Zelros gazed at the deep ice plain shrouded in dense cloud layers in the distance, his brows furrowed.

He felt the subtle unrest transmitted from the depths of the earth, akin to an awakened beast’s movement, as the energy anomaly in the earth veins was rising.

That force was silently eroding the very foundational life cycle of this continent.

"Alarms have sounded," Reina stood in front of the tent, her breath forming white mist, her twin blades clenched tightly, her gaze sharp, "We’ve detected that the spore parasites have begun burrowing into underground fissures following mutations, polluting the earth veins."

The cold wind sprang up, blowing her scattered silver hair into disarray.

A resolute expression appeared on her face, "This means not only surface battles, we will face a deeper, more lethal threat."

David remained silent and focused.

He walked to the edge of the crevice, where scarlet veins stretched along the broken ice surface like blood, continuously spreading and devouring the pure ice.

Ghostly blue flames leaped in his hand, he sensed the latent power deep within the Frost Wolf Bloodline growing restless as if anticipating an impending cataclysm.

A faint tremor echoed within the crevice, occasionally accompanied by corrosive buzzing, emanating from spore parasites releasing active mycelium deep underground, writhing, spreading, bringing pollution and decay into the earth’s core—the earth veins system, this artery connecting the cycle of Heaven and Earth Energy.

Zelros approached slowly, holding an ancient rune stone slab, where mysterious blue light flickering.

"According to Star Pupil Race’s ancient records, once parasites pollute the earth veins, they will disrupt the entire world’s energy cycle, triggering chain mutations and ecological collapse."

His gaze swept over the crowd, "We must take immediate action, use rune arrays to stabilize the damaged areas, and locate the infection source to eradicate it thoroughly, otherwise, the entire Far North will lose its balance."

Liya nodded gently, stepping forward, her silver-white cloak fluttering in the wind, her eyes clear and bright like water, sparkling with sacred light.

"I will perform the sacred purification ritual, striving to block the dark corrupting force from disrupting energy flow, providing auxiliary support for the rune array."
