Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 3132: 644: Mere Abyss

Though the White Emperor Palace he commanded could suppress some demons, it proved inconvenient for infiltrating the Abyss.

...

The Astral Battlefield.

A colossal dragon, as ferocious as a rampaging bull, tore through the area. Clad in shimmering starry heavy armor, it would occasionally rear up, its massive dragon claws wielding a greatsword for devastating cross-slashes.

Following a powerful strike, the 'Mount Hua Splitting Force'!

The Level 10 Late Stage [Sand Worm Queen] was cleaved in two, fleeing in sheer panic.

The Lord of Storm, perched atop the dragon's head, erupted in laughter towards the heavens.

"Hahaha, no wonder it's hailed as the Power Dragon! Wielding that sword with such effortless grace, as if it were merely a light reed or bamboo. Who could possibly withstand the might of the Three Thousand Worlds unleashed by a single sword?"

If the Power Dragon alone ranked among the top five combat powers in the astral world, now equipped with the supreme treasure [Star God Armor] and wielding the [Dragon Slayer Sword], it was genuinely a contender for the top four!

Dethroned only by the Star Ancestor and the two Supreme Beings.

In sheer direct offensive power, perhaps even more fearsome than the Priest and the Divine Mother.

"Beneath the Dragon Slayer Sword, how will the Chaos Emperor possibly defend himself?!"

In the distance.

The Great Prophet observed the exultant Lord of Storm with an internal sigh.

"Foolish child."

...

The Land of Darkness.

Beyond the Pan-Plane.

Here lay the Star Tomb.

A place saturated with Death Energy, now crumbling into ruin.

The Dark Sun Sovereign, awakened from an eons-long slumber, beheld the scene with astonishment clouding his eyes.

High above, the form of a black-robed wizard materialized in the air.

"Adam? Why have you returned?"

The Black Sun responded with chilling calm:

"Diya, your end is nigh."

The Dark Sun Sovereign cast his gaze upon the desolation below and nodded gravely.

"Indeed, in the end, oblivion is inevitable."

The Black Sun continued:

"All humans inevitably face death. If you desire your demise to hold significance, why not indulge my wish? I have traversed the realms for millennia, gathering rare phenomena, yet still lack one final piece to attain legendary status."

The Dark Sun Sovereign inquired:

"Me?"

The Black Sun chuckled, a sound devoid of mirth.

"Precisely. Without you, I remain incomplete, my ascension unattainable."

The Dark Sun Sovereign displayed no great surprise.

"When I first granted you freedom, I foresaw this very day."

"Then why did you still grant me freedom?"

"Because I myself am not free, and I could not bear to see you unfree either. By the way, I have slumbered for far too long. What is the current state of the outside world? How fares Nora?"

"Emmon is the Supreme, Levi has attained legend, Purple Crystal holds Divine Enthronement... Nora has repelled the Abyss thrice, and Nightmare twice. The Nightmare Will has fled, and Nora is now sweeping through the remaining Nightmare forces."

Upon hearing the world's current state, the Dark Sun Sovereign could only offer a bitter smile.

Matters had reached such a pass, with no possibility of turning back.

Once, he had also presided as the Grand Council Chairman.

Alas, Emmon achieved renown and success, while he faced an unpeaceful end.

Divergent choices invariably led to disparate destinies.

Throughout the history of the Wizard World, legendary wizards who turned against civilization were as scarce as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

The Dark Wizard Emperor was one such figure, and he was another.

Currently, the Dark Wizard Emperor was ensnared by the insectoid plague in the astral world, his life hanging precariously by a thread.

He was here, fading into gloom and old age.

He had, after all, underestimated Sauron.

He had believed Sauron incapable of facilitating Nora's grand ascent.

Yet now, Nora had ascended to become a true colossus, seizing the dominion rightfully belonging to the Nightmare, forging a union with the Underworld, and offering countless souls a chance at reincarnation.

They could become knights and wizards with brilliant futures through dual cultivation.

How could he not harbor envy?

Finally, the Dark Sun Sovereign spoke with resignation:

"Proceed. I shall offer no resistance."

The Black Sun initiated the world-spanning array he had long prepared. His intention was to refine the Dark Sun Sovereign and the very world itself, thereby synthesizing the legendary artifact he had been meticulously plotting:

The [Eternal Dark Sun].

...

Ten years elapsed with the swiftness of flying time.

Nora Calendar Year 3840.

Within the Northern Battle Zone of the Nightmare World.

The conflict between Nora's forces and the Abyss Army raged on without cessation.

Each engagement saw the Abyss thoroughly vanquished, only to be reborn upon their return to their stronghold.

However, the Abyss's persistent delaying tactics hampered Nora's expected progress.

Furthermore, the Abyss managed to abduct numerous vital resources.

Nora's formidable figures, determined to annihilate their foe, found themselves powerless.

They experienced the profound agony of the nightmare creatures firsthand.

...

On a particular Blood Battle Battlefield.

"Six God Covering Sky Hand!"

A colossal hand, crackling with lightning and capable of sealing the heavens while imprisoning the earth, descended.

Beneath its immense power, a Flame Demon radiating a Level 10 aura trembled in fear.

This was the [Master of Volcano], an Early Stage cultivator, exerting his utmost to break free from the confinement, but was instead ensnared by an ice wall, thus instantly subdued!

Soon.

A profound coldness enveloped everything, its consciousness already fading into numbness.

The Frost Witch let out a breath of icy air, speaking in a measured tone:

"Within the [Eternal Zero Realm], it shall remain dormant forever."

The Heavenly Will then declared:

"Time is of the essence, proceed to find the Grand Council Chairman."

...

The scene shifted to the Black Dragon Territory.

"I offer my gratitude to both of you."

"It was necessary. Although there was a trace of a Level 10 Middle Stage Mind Flayer... Mind Flayers, however, are notoriously cunning and difficult to deal with, so we opted for this path to ensure safety."

"This is more than sufficient."

Levi grasped the thoroughly frozen Master of Volcano with a single hand. The potent Black Emperor Dragon Power surged into the frozen form, and a month elapsed.

This invasion presented a singular chance; success was paramount! Failure meant the Abyss would seal its gates, barring any demons from entering.

Levi had previously employed the puppet form of the Black Emperor Parasite to infiltrate the Abyss on multiple occasions. However, at that time, the Abyss Will was in a dormant state, leaving him uncertain if it could detect his presence.

It was a gamble worth taking.

...

Ten years later, in the year 3850 of the Nora Calendar.

On the continent of Sorren.

A formidable being, carrying the essence of the Thunder World, journeyed westward.

Not long after.

It returned triumphantly, enveloped in a radiant display of lightning. The spectral image of a vast, purple tower manifested behind it, adorned with 81 shimmering Witch Marks, and teeming with unique spiritual creatures within.

The Destruction Realm Thunder withdrew its Divine Light, a look of elation gracing its features.

Emmon, accompanied by a retinue of legendary wizards, emerged to offer a personal welcome.

"The Thunder of the Dust World, Isu?"

"Has Lord Emmon become aware of my previous existence?"

"Indeed. On you, I can still discern faint traces of his pursuit."
