Chapter 754: Chapter 519: The Secret of the Nine-headed Demon Serpent and the Divine Artifact "Heart of Serenity
"That battle shattered the heavens and the earth, plunging the sun and moon into darkness."
"Of the thirty-six Catastrophe Level experts, twenty-eight died in battle..."
"They paid... an incredibly tragic price."
"But, in the end..."
Mage Delin’s finger pressed heavily on the last line of the page.
"They succeeded in slaying that once-invincible Ancient Deity!"
"And it was from the remnants of this Ancient Deity that we found the path to the World Destruction Level, giving rise to the many World Destruction Level guardians of our world today."
Mage Delin finished speaking.
But the account of that magnificent and ancient history, so full of sacrifice and sorrow, stirred a tempest in everyone’s mind.
Their ancestors, too, had once faced an enemy so hopeless.
They, too, had felt as helpless and lost as they did now.
But they did not give up.
With their own flesh and blood, with their own lives, they carved out a... bloody path to survival for future generations!
"What our ancestors... were able to do."
Master Wendel slowly rose from the sofa.
"We... have no reason we can’t do it too!"
His voice was filled with resolve.
"It’s just one Half-Step World Destruction Level beast, isn’t it?"
"It hasn’t truly taken that final step yet, so we still have a chance!"
"We have twelve Legends here!"
"Compared to our ancestors, we are so much stronger!"
Master Wendel’s words ignited the fighting spirit in everyone’s hearts.
"That’s right! Wendel is right!"
"What’s there to be afraid of! The worst that can happen is death!"
"Fighting a Half-Step World Destruction Level monster would make this life worthwhile!"
"Kill it! We must strangle it in its cradle before it fully matures!"
In an instant, the previous atmosphere of despair and oppression was swept away.
In its place was a... burn-the-boats, fight-to-the-death resolve!
Watching this scene unfold, Raylo couldn’t help but feel a surge of passion in his heart.
’This is what it means to be a Legend.’
’This is the true backbone that protects this world!’
"We should join forces to eliminate this future crisis."
Master Delin’s voice echoed throughout the hall.
His gaze swept over every colleague present, a blazing fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
"Now is our only chance. While it has yet to take that final step, and while all twelve of us happen to be here!"
"If we join forces, we might just stand a fighting chance!"
Wendel’s proposal was like a spark dropped into a pan of oil, instantly igniting the entire room.
"I agree!"
A Legendary Mage stood up and slammed his hand on the table.
"Count me in!"
Another Legendary Mage, a hulking Earth Element user built like an iron tower, said in a booming voice.
"Since everyone has said as much, I naturally have no reason to back down."
A graceful Legendary Mage, who looked more like a Minstrel, said with a smile.
For a moment, voices of agreement rose one after another.
In the face of a righteous cause concerning the world’s survival, these old monsters who had lived for centuries erupted with unprecedented unity and fighting spirit.
However, not everyone had let the passion go to their heads.
"Everyone, please calm down for a moment."
Mage Nancy’s clear and cold voice slightly cooled the somewhat fanatical atmosphere in the hall.
She slowly stood up from the sofa.
"I’m not opposed to Master Wendel’s proposal."
"It’s just that we must clearly recognize what a terrifying enemy we are about to face."
She paused for a moment before continuing.
"That is a Half-Step World Destruction Level existence, and it could even take that final step at any moment."
"Furthermore, the Jade Swamp is its home turf. There, its Power will be greatly amplified, while our own strength will be suppressed by the environment."
"Besides, you all felt that will awaken in the Jade Swamp just now. Who among you is confident they can remain unaffected by such a terrifying will?"
Mage Nancy’s words were like several basins of cold water being dumped over their heads.
It made the Legendary Mages, who had been fired up just moments before, cool down considerably in an instant.
’She’s right.’
The hall fell silent once more.
This time, however, the silence was not one of surrender.
"Nancy is right."
Mage Delin nodded slowly, acknowledging Nancy’s concerns.
"Aside from the Jade Swamp being the Demon Serpent’s home turf, that Nine-headed Demon Serpent’s spiritual will is also unlike anything I’ve ever encountered in my life."
"Its Spiritual Power can no longer be described as merely ’strong.’ It has formed something... akin to a ’Domain,’ but it has already surpassed a Domain to become a ’Realm of Will.’"
"Under the shroud of its will, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for us to gain an advantage."
Mage Delin’s words made everyone’s hearts sink.
Even Mage Delin, the foremost expert in Spiritual Magic, had given it such a high evaluation.
One could only imagine their fate when facing that Spiritual Shock.
"Is there... really no way?"
Master Wendel asked, unwilling to give up.
"A way? Of course, there is one."
Mage Delin smiled faintly.
He raised his hand, and a Crystal radiating a soft white light slowly materialized in his palm.
"This is the ’Heart of Serenity.’"
Mage Delin said.
"A Divine Artifact passed down from ancient times, specifically for protecting the soul and will. During the battle, I will activate the ’Heart of Serenity’ to ensure that none of you are suppressed or disturbed by the Nine-headed Demon Serpent’s will."
"The Heart of Serenity!"
