Chapter 774 - 768: Time Wand - Manipulating Time
Sajier was a powerful sixth-level Great Wizard and also one of the most trusted disciples of the Netherworld Fire Truth Wizard!
As a powerful sixth-level wizard, pride filled Sajier’s heart.
What made him even prouder was that, besides his formidable strength, he had a mentor who was a Titled Wizard.
This earned him the envy and respect of many other wizards as he moved through the Wizard World.
This pride persisted until today, even though he had been following his mentor in Canglan for thousands of years, and despite the fact that they had not launched a major war to seize this world, he never felt a trace of impatience.
For a cultivator like himself, who had such a long lifespan, a mere few thousand years was nothing compared to his lengthy life.
Moreover, as wizards, whether they were conducting research, exploring the unknown, or performing experiments, they needed a calm heart. If one’s mood was frequently influenced by negative emotions, how could they ever become a sixth-level Great Wizard, let alone aspire to advance further to immortal status and earn their exclusive title in the future!
This uniquely wizardly pride continued until today when he was surrounded and besieged by countless plant spirits and an army of cultivators, causing some turbulence in his heart realm.
Being trapped by plant spirits was not much of an issue to him; he didn’t know how many plant spirits he had personally dissected over the years, and their research on plant spirits was very thorough.
Moreover, the wizards were cultivating a kind of strange insect that enjoyed feeding on plants, which had already begun to show results. If this insect’s individual strength could be increased several times, and if they could cultivate them in massive numbers, there would be no need to wait. They could release the strange insects to attack the plant spirits, seizing the opportunity to unleash a great war during the chaos and take over this world.
The wizards had repeatedly brought countless plant spirits to the dissection table as research subjects, so naturally, they did not fear these plant spirits.
But what truly shocked him were those additional cultivators.
Sajier had never seen the capabilities of cultivators before, and since they had invaded Canglan not long ago, although some wizards versed in concealment had already gone to collect information on them, there was not much data returned yet, partly because not much time had passed. Moreover, he had always believed that aside from a few famous worlds, no other star domains could match the Wizard World.
However, he had not anticipated that he was merely a sixth-level Great Wizard, which did not represent the entire Wizard World. Although the strength of a sixth-level Great Wizard was not weak, it was only on par with an Upper Divine Spirit, which truly counted for little in the Void Ten Thousand Realms.
The cultivators who came with the two old ancestors were all carefully selected from the four major sects.
Knowing that the Truth Wizard’s hiding place served as the stronghold for wizards, its strength was undoubtedly the most profound, so these cultivators were all elites from the four major sects, and cultivators from vassal sects were not even allowed to participate in the battles here.
As elites, the war power these cultivators unleashed was truly astonishing.
On the battlefield, besides the numerous spiritual beasts, the sky-covering poison insects, and the eerily terrifying Ghost Items that shocked the wizards, the formidable combat prowess displayed by the cultivators themselves was even more shocking to them.
Sajier was taken aback by the cultivators’ fierce war power.
Especially seeing two Great Wizards stronger than himself being pushed into a disadvantage by a woman controlling six powerful monsters and a strong man with a giant spider phantom appearing behind him, brought him an incredible shock.
However, what truly drove him to despair was his mentor, the great Netherworld Fire Truth Wizard, who was being besieged by three peers of equal strength!
Even though his own power was far from reaching the seventh level of witchcraft, he could tell that his mentor was clearly at a disadvantage and struggling to hold on, a situation that was both shocking and unnerving.
When his mentor could no longer be his support, and after realizing that the Cultivators who were besieging them were much more formidable than he had imagined, Sajier immediately shelved his pride.
He did not rush into battle like the other Wizards, nor did he follow his mentor’s instructions to break out immediately; instead, he chose to conceal himself, carefully observing the situation on the battlefield.
At last, he took one final look at the Truth Wizard who was clearly losing with no chance of victory under the suppression of three Great Powers, clenched his teeth in determination, and, instead of breaking outwards, he headed back to the underground laboratory.
Of course, he did not rush in to hide there.
After the Cultivators and the legion of plant Spirits dealt with the monster army and the Wizards outside, they would surely not spare this vast laboratory, so hiding here would be a death sentence!
Sajier rushed all the way to his mentor’s laboratory with urgency.
The Netherworld Fire Truth Wizard had a hunch something was amiss earlier and had left the lab to investigate outside; thereafter, he engaged in battle with the three Great Powers and had no time to return to the laboratory, nor to seal it off. Plus, as a disciple of Netherworld Fire, Sajier frequently entered and exited the laboratory, so he easily opened the door.
He had never dared to enter without permission before, but today was different. Seeing the state of his mentor surrounded by three Great Powers, he might not be able to hold out. If something were to happen, where would that leave him?
With a hint of madness across his face, Sajier went straight to the deepest part of the laboratory, trembling hands reaching for a Magic Wand on the experimental table before turning to leave.
However, as he passed other experimental stations, a glance caught sight of something, and he stopped in his tracks. Instead of leaving directly, he decided to plunder everything from the laboratory before exiting.
He was certain his mentor would not be returning to this laboratory, and faced against three Great Powers while also having a large part of his power suppressed by the World Will, how could he fight against three equally strong adversaries?
Even if the Netherworld Fire Truth Wizard could eventually break through the world’s Boundary Barrier to escape, this laboratory would fall into the hands of the Cultivators and Plant Spirits.
Since it was so…
Sajier steeled his resolve. Having already taken what he should not have, he decided to go even further and take everything with him.
After all, he currently had no chance to escape Canglan, and without his mentor’s care, he didn’t know how long he would have to conceal himself in this world; naturally, he took more items, hoping to use them to enhance his strength.
Even the ordinary instruments were of great importance; after all, once he left this place, if he wished to continue certain experiments, he couldn’t do without these tools.
After stripping the laboratory bare, he used witchcraft to conceal his aura and disguise himself as a third-level Little Witch before exiting the lab. He jumped onto the back of a monster, intending to blend into the chaotic battlefield low-key and look for an opportunity to flee!
The Plant Gods and Immortals of the four Major Sects were all in midair, either participating in the besieging of the formidable Wizards or observing the surroundings with keen eyes, to prevent any fish that slipped through the net.
Sajier’s disguise was quite proficient, and with the battlefield being so chaotic, he actually managed to elude several searching Divine Spirits and Immortals. He blended into the battlefield and engaged in a chaotic fight with a group of Plant Spirits.
He cleverly avoided the cultivators’ side and chose the plant spirits with which he was very familiar.
With his skill, he was very confident of eluding these creatures and making his escape.
Once he left the battlefield, he believed that with his own speed and strength, coupled with the magic wand he had just acquired, he would definitely be able to shake off the pursuit and continue to survive.
As a level six Great Wizard, he had a long life span. Even if he couldn’t leave Canglan for the time being, it was alright. At worst, he would find a place to hide and eventually find a chance to leave this world.
However, he never imagined that although he had evaded the surveillance of cultivators and divine beings in the sky, and the plant spirits on the battlefield, he had not escaped Qin Feng’s eyes.
As Qin Feng advanced to the Heavenly Immortal level and his Dao Cultivation Realm progressed further, the Divine Skills he practiced also gained immensely in power. His Yin Yang Ghost Eye, a Great Divine Power, had long been enhanced to the level of a Supreme Divine Power.
With the Supreme Divine Power level of the Yin Yang Ghost Eye observing the entire battlefield, he could see more comprehensively.
Initially, he hadn’t noticed the existence of Sajier, the level six wizard; even when he saw the latter breaking out of the battlefield and fleeing, he didn’t pay too much attention. It was just a Little Wizard, after all. Several powerful beings in the Demigod Realm had already split from the plant army to pursue him.
But Qin Feng’s Yin Yang Ghost Eye perceived people’s souls and the vital energy or death Qi within them, so when he inadvertently scanned over Sajier, he suddenly noticed something amiss. After a careful look, he realized that this so-called Little Wizard bore a powerful soul and robust life force far surpassing that of an ordinary Little Wizard, which instantly drew his attention!
“So, it’s a Great Witch who’s concealed his aura!”
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes in surprise.
This wizard had some skills and was very clever, choosing such a method to flee.
He moved swiftly, taking one step and using the Supreme Divine Power of Heavenly Distance to appear directly in front of Sajier. He then raised his hand and pointed at the wizard!
In an instant, a gold light that was barely visible emerged and rapidly appeared before Sajier.
Sajier had intended to fly leisurely, giving the plant spirits in the Demigod Realm chasing him a sliver of hope while ensuring the divine beings in the sky didn’t focus their attention on him.
Just as he was about to bypass a large mountain ahead and was preparing to completely shake off his pursuers, he abruptly saw a blur before him, and a young man with handsome features and an ethereal aura blocked his path.
“Hm?”
Sajier the wizard was momentarily stunned and hadn’t decided whether to continue his pretense when his expression suddenly changed.
The golden light released from the opposing finger was incredibly sharp and powerful; if he continued to hide his true strength and cast spells at the level of a level three wizard, he would definitely be pierced through by this devastating spell!
In the face of imminent danger, Sajier no longer cared about revealing his strength. He quickly lifted the crystal ball in his hand, and instantly, a water-blue protective shield emerged before him, blocking the golden light.
“Hmph, indeed you have some tricks up your sleeve!”
Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, reached out with a dragon claw, and with a ripping sound, shattered the water-blue shield. He then exhaled a Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind straight towards the wizard’s face!
“Not good!”
Sajier’s spirit panicked.
He didn’t expect the cultivator who had stopped him to have such overbearing combat power – not only breaking through his defensive spells in an instant but also able to exhale a golden wind that made him tremble with fear!
At this moment, it was no longer a matter of him hiding his strength but whether he could dodge the opponent’s powerful Divine Skill in such a short distance.
Due to the proximity of the two, and coupled with the fact that Qin Feng’s Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind came forth as soon as he opened his mouth, its power as a Supreme Divine Power was especially fearsome. Even Sajier, a level six Great Wizard, felt an immense danger!
At the crucial juncture, he swung his magic wand, and instantly, a peculiar power spread, causing the ferocious Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind to slow down considerably.
No, it wasn’t that the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind had slowed down, but rather… time had been stretched!
Qin Feng could sense that the speed of the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind was still as fast as lightning; it was just that the opposing magic wand, of unknown rank among witch artifacts, could actually deploy the Power of Time, delaying the time it took for the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind to reach the target, allowing him to dodge!
This realization made Qin Feng’s eyes light up!
A witch artifact capable of casting Time Magic?
What a treasure!
Seeing the opponent’s figure flash and dodge the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind like teleporting, Qin Feng was not concerned.
As his Innate Divine Ability and also the first skill he had cultivated to the level of Supreme Divine Power, the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind’s potency was not limited to this. It would not dissipate just because the opponent dodged, nor would its power diminish for having missed the target.
With a mere thought from Qin Feng, the Ruyi Spiritual Golden Wind spun and pounced towards the target once again.
At the same time, beneath him suddenly emerged a flamboyantly beautiful Red Lotus. The Lotus Platform spun, protecting him within it, while flames gathered into a sea of fire, furiously lunging at Sajier.
Then, with a beckoning gesture, a Pagoda appeared in his palm. He lifted his hand and offered it up; the Pagoda grew a thousand feet tall, accompanied by a fierce Gang Wind that sealed off the void around the wizard, thundering down towards him!
He planned to use the Red Lotus Karma Fire to restrict the wizard’s space for dodging and the Pagoda to imprison his form, forcefully subduing the villain and seizing the precious artifact!
