A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 1325: Chapter 1326: Gua!?

A large number of Tristar Vultures scattered and flew away.

Facing the impending apocalypse of dark death, they must get as far away from this area as possible, even if it means living just a moment longer. Their bodies instinctively screamed for them to give it their all.

Lilia ended her true body transformation and stood atop the already mostly collapsed Sanxingdui. Next to her was the Tristar Vulture Elder, severely eroded by the death aura, his aura waning and on the verge of death.

Lilia supported this Elder, gazing into the sky at the flock of crows flying towards the heavens following the Death Crow leader.

”Elder, what are they doing, why have they left the seal?”

Originally, Lilia thought that the Death Crow leader was about to seek revenge, and she even had resigned herself to death. Yet, she was surprised that these Death Crows bypassed them and flew upwards.

The Tristar Vulture Elder, breathing more in than out, gazed toward the sky.

”They’re preventing that invader from leaving. You might not know, but the true body of the Three-legged Death Golden Crow King is composed of endless death energy. Every wisp of death aura gets devoured by it. Having been sealed by the Great King of Xifan for so long, it is likely starving and going mad by now. And we, these insignificant beings, aren’t even worthy to fill the gaps between its teeth. This invader is its first meal after breaking the seal.”

Pant, pant, pant...

Amidst the continued gasping, the Tristar Vulture Elder shook his head with a cold laugh.

”Isn’t it ironic? Heh, being the one who indirectly unsealed the Three-legged Death Golden Crow King, yet to be eaten first by it. This is the price of ignorant foolishness. The evil and cruelty of the Three-legged Death Golden Crow King is also why the great King of Xifan sealed it at the cost of his life!”

...

On the other side.

The Death Crow leader clutched the Death Feather Fan, as black death aura surged from the cracks in the ground, rising to the sky, dyeing the once blue sky into black ink.

Amidst this seemingly endless black aura, the Death Crow leader felt its strength rapidly recovering, and some injuries on its body regenerated as the black death aura penetrated into its body.

”It’s not the destructive seal-breaking power displayed by the Great Golden Crow King. Then... what is it?”

A membrane of interwoven energy was pierced by the flock of crows.

In the high sky, an indescribable majestic pressure was released, akin to torrents of waves, cascading from above, growing stronger with each passing moment. Even the black death aura erupting from the ground’s cracks began to thin, forming a cloud layer as if being suppressed by a stronger force from above.

”Leader, I... I can’t fly any further!”

An alarmed, trembling cry came from a Death Crow behind, refusing to fly higher, eyes vacant, its will at the brink of collapse. It was not out of cowardice; those who followed the Death Crow leader would fear no death. It was a soul’s instinctive rebellion!

Even the Death Crow leader itself quivered from the pressure of the unknown phenomenon above.

”Ah...”

”Whoosh,” ”Whoosh” — two Death Crows suddenly fainted and plunged straight down, unconscious, under the eyes of the Death Crow leader.

”Continue forward, for the revival of the great Death Crow Clan!”

The Death Crow leader roared, leading its kin upward, aligning with the will of the Three-legged Death Golden Crow King, to drive out this invader. Even just to stall it temporarily, it would be contributing to the glory of the Death Crow Clan.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

As they continued their ascent, some Death Crows with resilient wills began to explosively burst one after another, raining blood mist. The higher they flew, the greater the pressure, and more Death Crows with collapsed spirits succumbed, leaving fewer followers beside the Death Crow leader. The figure in the alternating light and dark halo above grew increasingly clear.

It was a giant spectral entity with both hands clawing at the halo, its upper body already squeezed into this world. Its three-colored light eyes and six pairs of grotesquely hideous compound eyes peered greedily at this world.

How could it be!

How could it be this strong!

Suddenly, the massive eyes of the giant rotated to gaze upon itself, the Death Crow leader, clutching the Death Feather Fan, breathing greedily while staring at the monster crawling through the halo.

”What, you dare resist my will?”

Green’s three-colored light eyes locked onto the shivering Death Crow beneath him. Green understood that at this moment, he probably appeared to be a terrifying monster, blocking out the sky, in the eyes of the other. He had experienced something similar before.

Drip, drip, drip, drip...

Black-red liquid dripped from the nostrils and eyes of the Death Crow leader, who touched it, checked its wings, and suddenly rolled its eyes white, plummeting from the sky.

With a chuckle, Green transmitted his will toward the entity sealed beneath the ground: ”Heh heh heh heh, Three-legged, do you remember me?”

Below ground, the Three-legged Death Crow, tearing through the last weak layer of the seal, felt its heart erupt in flames!

A destroyed nation, a shattered tribe, all origins traced back to this group of Wizards!

Thousands of years ago, during a communication with a distant world cluster, that malicious Wizard had lured him with an irresistible Crystal Stone, signing a Destiny Contract. Yet, after waiting for fifteen hundred years, he found himself summoned to a battlefield teeming with monsters!

Confusion, horror, fear.

Those evil Wizards used unknown methods to cut off his retreat, deceiving one Alien World Lord after another to fight for them against metallic monstrosities. Barely surviving, he had almost been killed by that pink crystal monster.

And this Oblivion Sorcerer was the most ruthless and wicked of those vile Wizards!

Any breakthroughs were the result of his own efforts, absolutely unrelated to this vile creature!

Of course!

He had already broken through, and during battle, this creature’s strength was at most akin to his. And now, while it was at its weakest invading this world, in his home turf...

Yes! He was no longer that weak creature of the past!

He was strong, terrifyingly strong. It was time to let this formerly cold and indifferent being understand the wrath of the great Three-legged Death Golden Crow King!

”Ca-caw caw caw, Oblivion Sorcerer, here I come!”

The earth cracked, winds howled, the sky roared, and the world wept for the resurrection of dark death will. Amidst the endless eruption of black flames, countless wailing heads surrounded a figure leaping skyward, embodying the purest death essence, the lament of the dead!

Unrelenting, the Three-legged Death Crow took the form of a blazing flame, soaring upwards amid the turmoil affecting the Vulture Elder to the point of near collapse, heading straight for the light and dark halo.

Closer, closer, ever closer!

The earth-shattering confrontation between World Masters was about to begin!?

Gah!?

Just as it entered the light and dark halo of the Source of Darkness, the Three-legged Death Crow abruptly halted, its movements jarringly uncoordinated.

The overwhelming, boundless aura that descended upon it made the Three-legged Death Crow’s petrified body bristle instantly.

How could it be...

How could it be this strong!

”Caw, caw, caw, of course I remember, great Oblivion Sorcerer. I am the Wizard World’s most faithful ally. Even during all these years of being sealed, your majestic figure on the battlefield frequently looms vividly in my mind, unforgettable.”

The Three-legged Death Crow, astonishingly, changed its tone halfway, spewing chilling platitudes that contradicted its true feelings, as if offering its submission, tossing away its dignity, honor, and authority.

Then, the Three-legged Death Crow rubbed its wings together and assumed an obsequious, subservient stance towards Green, who had pushed through the halo, with an ingratiating smile as if greeting an old friend, naturally so.
