Outer Cycle · Myriad Spell Domain

"What this Devil says makes sense. If Iron Guard couldn't defeat the Devil even in his prime, why would he think that climbing the Tower losing his power would allow him to take revenge?"

Su Luo pointed and gestured, but seeing that Iron Guard was about to die, she made no attempt to save him.

"Because, Legendary has it that any wish can be granted atop the Tower."

Jingjing suddenly spoke in a low voice, her gaze seemingly piercing through the Burn village and the dark sky, looking towards some Ethereal.

"That was the fundamental motivation that drove us, including Iron Guard and me, to embark on this path of no return. To find a way to end the Desolation Plague, to take revenge on the Devil... We all believed that the 'answer' lay at the top of the tower."

"That eternal golden light at the top of the tower." Su Luo recalled the scene she saw when she first entered the Eternal Night Court.

""Have no idea."

Jingjing shaking its head, the monster's skull swayed slightly. "No one knows in what form the 'wishes' of those who reach the top are fulfilled. Legendary the Tower is an 'Eternal Guidance' left by the 'gods,' and among the earliest 'Ancient Ones,' a very few who reached the summit obtained near-eternal life and immense power."

"That creature lying at the bottom of the tower, which looks like a torn Croc, must be one of the 'Ancient Ones,' right?"

"Clogs? That's quite a fitting name. I always thought it was an ugly six-eyed whale... It was Ancient Ones who oversaw Resurrection."

During their conversation, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

The Devil seemed to have finally grown tired of playing. It looked at the weak Iron Guard in its claws, let out a final mocking laugh, and then casually tossed it like a rag towards Su Luo and Jingjing.

At the same time, its enormous eyes, Burn with sulfurous flames, had already Lock-On Su Luo.

There's something inexplicably unpleasant about this guy.

Su Luo glanced at it.

[Heartfire]!

In an instant, the Devil, whose power lay in mind, fire, and Curses, was horrified to find a silent Black Flame igniting within its own spirit.

The Black Flame was the same color as its Origin flame, but it was more domineering, containing a kind of indifference, and directly devouring everything.

"Interesting, a soul flame that I can't withstand at all."

As it spoke, it took steps, slowly approaching.

With each step, a Burn lava footprint was left on the ground, and the smell of sulfur and acridity in the air became even stronger.

"But the Devil's greatest strength is its body."

In the next instant, the Devil's speed exploded to its limit, leaving only a blur even from the perspective of a Jingjing hunter.

The Devil charged forward, then stopped abruptly ten meters from Su Luo, its feet burning into lava by Devil fire, the color of which was a strange blood red.

"In that glorious era, we Devil usurped the power of the Gods with our physical bodies, gaining the fire and the Contract we possess today."

"Then the Gods of this world are very weak," Su Luo remarked.

Upon hearing this, the Devil sized up the man in the blue robe before him. His physical abilities were not strong; compared to the Devil, he was even excessively weak.

But his flames were too strange.

"How can such a mere ant-like body bear such... peculiar Essence of fire... Tell me, you weak insect, where did you steal this Authority from?"

The Devil's muscular arms, covered in dark red scales, suddenly swelled, the highly concentrated muscle fibers even tearing through the skin due to excessive force, seeping out dark golden demonic blood.

A giant claw, powerful enough to crush refined gold, shot out in an instant, heading straight for Su Luo's head!

However, just as that demonic claw was about to reach within five meters of Su Luo—

A flash of crimson light, and the Devil's hand vanished into thin air.

Then, a deep and loud hum, as if countless intricate gears were starting to turn at the same time, rang out without warning!

Endless Spells, in a Cycle manner, Spread from the feet to the horizon, layer upon layer, First Ring upon First Ring, so complex as to be suffocating.

Layers of light spread out, the earth melted, the air was torn apart, and every line flowed with Berserk power.

A wall of light, tens of meters high, rises from the ground, airtight and like a prison reaching to the heavens. As energy flows, the Mana of the environment is frantically drained, and everything is swallowed up.

Above the barrier of light, Spell models moved, combined, Annihilation, Regeneration like living beings, frantically drawing upon all available Mana, elements, and even light energy from the environment. Within the barrier of light, light distorted, energy Annihilation, and temperatures exploded, as if forming Small World on the verge of collapse!

"Aww--!"

The Devil let out a heart-wrenching scream, and the remaining half of its body erupted in a blinding flash and an even more violent energy explosion, with dark red Devil blood bursting out.

With just one contact, the Devil's proud and powerful physique was reduced by nearly half.

It used its last strength to burst forth with an extremely dense crimson light, forcibly breaking free from the energy barrier and the subsequent Spell bombardment. It staggered backward and fell onto the scorched earth hundreds of meters away, its remaining half of its body charred and mangled.

It stared intently at the center of the magic circle, at the blue-robed figure who remained seated in place, his robes unmoved, as if looking at a monster that had crawled out of the deepest Abyss.

[Source Essence Circulation Technique] -- Outer Circulation, Ten Thousand Laws Domain!

This is why Su Luo looks down on Devil based on a mere one percent of their value—the Outer Circulation method.

This is not a single Spell, but rather a "composite domain" that he pre-constructs and maintains in the surrounding area using Spell Permanence Technique, combining countless Spell models he has mastered in a highly complex, self-consistent, Cycle manner.

It forms a highly ordered yet extremely dangerous "energy turbulence zone." Any matter or energy that enters its range will be instantly dismantled Annihilation by this Berserk "turbulence," becoming one of the nutrients that maintain the operation of the domain.

Its core principle is consistent with his Inner Circulation, except that the target of the effect is shifted from itself to the outside world, and a large number of Spell Permanence Technique are used.

Su Luo remained motionless. Maintaining such a vast and intricate complex domain required him to concentrate a significant portion of his energy on its operation, ensuring stable functioning and that energy absorption exceeded consumption.

Su Luo's body is indeed weaker compared to the Devil's.

But this is only one percent, it's really ridiculous.

The next moment, the countless Spell models slowly expanded, turning into a "field" that surged toward the Devil, while simultaneously unleashing an irresistible suction force.

"No, no, no--!"

The Devil was half-dead, Suppression by layers upon layers of complex Spells, with no chance of turning the tide.

Su Luo casually picked up the Iron Guard who was lying on the ground burning cards to recover health.

"You... you are... God?" Through his blurred vision, the Iron Guard looked at the Spell domain around him, which resembled a miracle.

"Tell me, what are the characteristics of the Gods in your world?"
