A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1218: Silk Underworld Palace

A hundred years later.

This was the first time Green left his territory range, with half-naked Mesocea behind him, followed by a nimble black spider on the ground, moving towards the Nether Spider King’s realm along the vast Temporal Fault.

Along the way, one occasionally perceives a few lurking exiles, waiting for the opening of the Piercing Gate, hoping to pick up a few Shards of the World’s Heart by luck, and that’s all.

However, here as part of the Dimensional Esophagus, a rarely influenced land by the Illusory World, although the exile density is very high and there are predators that hunt irregularly, at least they won’t despair from the sudden, unexplained arrival of Illusory World rules and perish.

”Huh?”

Upon reaching the edge of the Nether Spider King’s realm, Green felt something and looked in the direction with his Three-Colored Light Eyes. It was an elemental monster seemingly entangled with countless slender seaweeds, emanating a withered aura from head to toe. With every step, the lingering withered aura on the Skeleton Land remains. The five-meter-tall figure seems to sense, and an intention covers Green’s direction.

”Master, this is a predator that has been upgraded in recent hundreds of years, coming from the outside, known as the Withered Ruminator.”

Mesocea, whom Green specially instructed, is also already used to addressing Green as master.

Green nodded lightly; this elemental creature is not weak, and those parasitic seaweeds also emit a violent aura. They seem to have a symbiotic relationship with this withered elemental creature, somewhat similar to the symbiotic insects, soul partners, and Abyssal Dragons of the wizards.

”Understood, I’ll pay a visit, you may return.”

Green waved his hand, signaling Mesocea could go back.

”Yes.”

Mesocea turned around, swaying her blue and red patterned snake tail, returned towards the Green Laboratory territory, Green headed towards the Withered Ruminator, who seemed to be deliberately awaiting him, leaning on the extreme abyss magic staff, walking step by step.

”Oblivion Sorcerer?”

This strange and powerful elemental creature took the initiative to greet Green’s intention, Green slightly astonished asked, ”You know me?”

Slender seaweeds danced disorderly in the air, looking somewhat similar to the Infernal Soul Myriad-Heads Bird, fierce and ferocious.

Green noticed that this was a unique form of flesh and blood creature.

”Before being exiled into the Dimensional Esophagus, I had two spatial contacts with the Wind Stigmata Sorcerer of your world in the Mother Realm, so I pay particular attention upon hearing your wizard name. How about it, do you know this Wind Sorcerer?”

Wind Sorcerer?

Green shook his head; there are tens of thousands of Stigmata Wizards in Wizard World which continuously change as they go towards the Path of the True Spirit. Except for a small circle of familiar wizards in the Second Ring Holy Tower, Six-Ring Holy Tower, and Seven-Ring Holy Tower, to Green, most wizards are strangers, not knowing this Wind Stigmata Sorcerer is also normal.

”Sorry, there are countless Stigmata Wizards in Wizard World, even I am just a Junior Wizard in a corner of the Wizard World, not worth mentioning.”

Green’s humble boasting made the Withered Ruminator let out a soft gasp, the Oblivion Sorcerer in front of him is not weak, yet even he claims to be a small wizard in a corner of the Wizard World?

What kind of terrifying world is this Wizard World?

”Shall we go together?”

Green invited the Withered Ruminator, and upon close observation, Green discovered, it turned out it wasn’t merely an elemental creature; it seemed more like a rule-based creature. Its attack might not be very high but extremely troublesome, often possessing some unexpected strange abilities, hard to defend against.

”Alright.”

Immediately, the two followed the guiding spider, walking together towards the Nether Spider King’s lair.

...

White threads spread across the sky and earth; countless small spiders crawled on these silk webs, weaving a vast palace as white as snow, everything inside was made of spider silk.

Compared to Green’s simple Skeleton Palace, this Silk Palace is evidently many times larger and more luxurious. At this moment, a dozen Nether Spider King avatars with a human-spider body were walking elegantly, holding plates of rare melon and wine within the Dimensional Esophagus, in the hall.

”Shoo shoo shoo shoo, Oblivion Sorcerer, Withered Ruminator, welcome to my Nether Palace.”

Green and the Withered Ruminator looked towards the highest Skeleton Throne from thousands of meters away in the great hall.

Thick, black aura continuously emitted from the Nether Spider King’s body, unlike the human-spider leg avatars Green had seen before. The Nether Spider King was a pure red fuzzy spider, yet it reclined like a humanoid creature on the throne, with the entire Silk Palace seemingly under its control, fashioned as a domain.

Green’s Three-Colored Light Eyes slightly shrunk at the Nether Spider King’s power; he feared that in his current state of self-sealing at seventy percent, it would be hard to resist.

In the hall, there were over twenty Level 5 clones with human heads and female upper bodies and eight-legged spider lower bodies; adding to the entire unified silk palace, and in Green’s perception, there’s a hidden unknown energy source device stored beneath the palace. The power of the Nether Spider King within this Silk Palace probably ranks among the Coffin of Hope’s Casket Ascenders, below Demon Doll and Paper Man, above Quad-Blade Arm Warrior and Skeleton Monster!

I don’t know what this hidden energy source device is.

Even using the Face of Truth to try sensing, Green ended up with no success, seemingly deliberately hidden.

But in any case, the immense energy source pressure felt by everyone entering the hall was unmistakable.

Of course, the combination of clone strength and external forces is irrelevant to opening the Coffin of Hope, otherwise, given the basis of interaction between this Nether Spider King and Green, attempting to draw him into the Coffin of Hope’s Casket Ascenders wouldn’t be impossible.

To successfully leave Dimensional Esophagus is best, and to face one versus three through the Scepter of Hope is Green’s last resort.

Under the leadership of two Nether Spider King avatars, Green and the Withered Ruminator sat down one after another, then turned to the other three also invited by the Nether Spider King.

A Wooden Puppet continually emitting ”creak”, ”creak” mechanical gear turning sounds inside?

Due to the presence of Dominator’s Wood on its surface, Green could not discern its true essence, but from Green’s faint Hunting Nose sense, he detected a sweat gland scent of a flesh and blood creature within the wooden puppet.

A mixed yellow gemstone abruptly floating in mid-air, however, different from generally passive evolution creatures only visible on the surface at this time, using Face of Truth to sense, this ultra-high energy compressed gemstone the size of a thumb has a heart sealed inside for unknown time, bursting with vitality belonging to it.

As for the last powerhouse, it was a magic eye enveloped in Thunderforce, about one meter in size.

Strangely, the pupil of the magic eye occasionally crushes the melons and fruits placed in front into powder with exquisite Thunderforce, absorbing them into the pupil, seemingly connecting to some alien space.

Among the six in the hall, none were weak, and all possessed flesh and blood parts.

While observing each other, unknowingly, the hall’s door had already been sealed by countless small spiders, suddenly even this tens of thousands of meters Silk Underworld Palace seemed somewhat oppressive, a wave of unknown energy enveloped everyone.
