Stirring Things Up, the Beginning
The ice ball suspended high in the sky transformed into a dark Ice Sun, its fleeting brilliance obscuring the starry sky.
Endless ice-type free energy particles converged, transforming into an extremely pure dark blue pillar of light.
Despair, destruction, death. An indescribable, terrifying aura poured down, like ancient frost truly descending.
In an instant, Ignatius was struck by the dark blue beam of light, his entire figure engulfed in brilliance.
Following closely behind, the dark blue brilliance spread outwards from Ignatius's figure, covering everything—magma, light, the void—with its rich dark blue hue.
It's like solidified tide, spreading outwards layer by layer.
The temperature in this space plummeted, the scorching heat from the flames and magma was quickly swallowed up, and a bone-chilling cold permeated the air. Even the air itself carried a strong sense of urgency, and time seemed to freeze at that moment. When all the commotion subsided, the Ice Sun hanging high in the sky dimmed.
At this moment, the entire Central Fighting Arena Space was completely occupied by countless dark blue solid ice.
These ice blocks are unusual in color and shape, with complex and irregular mysterious patterns condensed within them. They are interconnected and intertwined, like ancient runes, constantly emanating an unsettling and ominous chill.
Amidst this unease and foreboding, the spot where Ignatius had stood was now empty.
Ignatius seemed to vanish into thin air, leaving only some shards of ice behind him. At that moment, all the battles taking place in the surrounding Independent Space chapters stopped without anyone noticing, and even the black-robed figures who had been chanting "[Resurrection Salvation]" stopped what they were doing.
Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them, their faces filled with deep confusion and bewilderment.
The whole scene was so quiet it was almost eerie.
"The fusion of the Three Law Domains?!"
On the Silver Magic Ring, Caloni stood near the invisible spatial wall, looking dazed, and unconsciously spoke in a low voice.
He only remembered that he was worried about Ronan just a second ago, but the next second Caloni suddenly turned his head and looked at Aqi Duo, the handsome man with a gentle appearance who majored in Ice Magic. His lips were tightly pursed, as if he knew what he wanted to ask, but he just slowly shook his head.
Caloni's eyes began to tremble, and his expression gradually changed.
Behind the two, Orian, who was being firmly protected, also saw all of this. His eyes were filled with many indescribable lights. His gaze wandered over the remaining dark Ice Sun and the blurry outline of the multi-headed giant snake on the field, and finally gently landed on the figure of the boy under the Ice Sun.
A glint of light shot from the center of his silvery-white pupils, as if trying to etch that figure deep into his mind—for the first time.
An invisible yet profound emotion reverberated and swelled among the onlookers in the vicinity.
However, at the very center of the Fighting Arena, where everyone's attention converged, remained a stillness as hard as if it could not be melted.
"Gurgle—"
Damien stood stiffly in mid-air, his Adam's apple bobbing laboriously.
His gaze wandered back and forth over the spot where Ignatius had been, and finally, little by little, it moved forward and landed on a tall and slender figure.
That's Ronan.
With his eyelids lowered, his figure was slightly shrouded in the eerie blue light emanating from the thick, solid ice around him, as if he were standing in a terrifying and mysterious ancient forbidden land.
Ronan slowly raised his head, his deep eyes, still retaining a hint of dark blue, met Damien's gaze. Damien felt as if he had been pricked by an invisible needle and took a few steps back.
A moment later, he suddenly realized something and said in a low voice, "Kill him. Don't give him a chance to breathe. With the Three Law Domains merged, he can't possibly have the strength to use it a second time."
The two Third Level Wizard beside Damien seemed to hesitate for a moment, but quickly moved.
But before they could take a single step forward, suddenly, "Boom!"
The phantom of the multi-headed serpent, which seemed poised to vanish at any moment, became clear again in the high sky, and the dim, dark Ice Sun once more burst forth with brilliance.
A death stare from an ancient overlord.
A terrifying beam of light descended, striking Damien's body in an instant!
"Buzz—"
The two Third Level Wizard froze in place.
Turning his head, he was horrified to see Damien's body mostly turning into ice shards and slowly drifting away. Cold sweat instantly poured down his forehead and back.
There was almost no hesitation.
The two turned and left, quickly disappearing into nothingness.
"Bang—"
As soon as the two left, the phantom of the multi-headed serpent vanished with a roar, followed by the dark Ice Sun symbolizing the Hecalto's Eye. The three fused domain powers receded back into Ronan's body like water.
"Cough cough—"
Ronan reached out and clutched his heart, coughing violently for a while.
He raised his head, his handsome face was deathly pale, and his eyes were bloodshot.
This was the first time he had ever been so severely overdrawn in his mental energy since mastering the [[Clarity Realm]].
The fusion of three domains that reached the First Resonance was indeed a considerable burden for him, who was only at the mid-stage of the second level, especially since he had used it twice in a row.
Ronan took out several bottles of potions from his Space Ring, unscrewed the caps and drank them down. With the recovery effect of the [[Clarity Realm]], his brain, which was throbbing with pain, finally had a chance to catch its breath.
Stepping on the forbidden ice inherited from ancient times, Ronan slowly walked to the spot where Ignatius died, carefully searching through the ice shards he left behind, but unfortunately found nothing.
Ignatius suffered the most powerful attack from the Three Law Domains Fusion Technique at his peak, and was completely reduced to ashes, leaving not a trace behind.
Ronan felt a pang of regret and then went to Damien's body.
This guy took his second [Hecalto's Death Gaze], the second one from the Power Cult was much weaker than the first, but similarly, Damien's strength was also much weaker than Ignatius's.
Therefore, the result was the same as that of Ignatius.
However, Damien's body was not completely reduced to dust, and many body parts remained.
Ronan searched through Damien's body for a while and found two rings, one silver and one green, both engraved with simple leaf patterns; they were both Space Ring.
In addition, there was a silver cube-shaped magical artifact that emitted strong spatial energy fluctuations.
But just as Ronan reached out to touch the magical artifact, it shattered without warning, turning into countless tiny silvery-white sparks that vanished without a trace.
"Um?!"
Ronan was caught off guard. Before he could react, the surrounding environment changed as the silver cube shattered.
He watched as groups of wizards, divided into individual small spaces, disappeared before his eyes, as if countless invisible streams of water were flowing down from the surrounding void, quickly washing away everything.
Even the seven "Dawn Day" that were originally hanging high overhead, intertwined and fighting each other, disappeared at the same time.
"Have I been teleported away?"
Ronan stood up. He was still on the Fighting Arena. Looking around, he could only see the empty and silent Goblin Plain. The cold starlight fell from above, creating a serene atmosphere, as if he were the only person left in this world.
Ronan tried to walk forward a little further.
"Whoosh—"
Upon touching an invisible wall, the person is teleported back to their original position.
"It's just that it's completely isolated visually as well."
Ronan immediately understood.
Due to the effect of the Dawn Magical Item, the entire arena was divided into countless relatively independent spaces of varying sizes, but the real-time scene on the opposite side could still be observed with the naked eye between the spaces.
Now that the silver cube is shattered, it's unclear what runic restrictions it triggered, but these Independent Space have been completely separated and can no longer be seen with the naked eye.
Ronan had originally hoped to use the silver cube in Damien's possession to "release" the other trapped wizards, but that idea has now fallen through.
That's to be expected, though; such authority would never fall into the hands of an ordinary Third Level Wizard Damien.
Fortunately, Ronan already had his own way of getting out of trouble.
Thinking about it, he took something out of his Space Ring.
This is a palm-sized, exquisitely crafted dagger shaped like a dinner knife.
The dagger is made of a special material; its surface is smooth and has a mirror-like sheen that constantly flows.
It was the space teleportation Mirror Dagger that he had obtained from the Mysterious Garden Secret Realm a long time ago.
The maximum teleportation distance of this Mirror Dagger is five hundred meters, which is not long.
But the entire competition venue wasn't very big, and if Ronan's idea was correct, this distance should be enough for him to do a lot of things.
"The combined power of the Three Law Domains is even enough to instantly kill a powerful Third Level Wizard like Ignatius."
The silver-white Mirror Dagger slowly rotated between Ronan's slender fingers. A faint look of contemplation appeared in Ronan's eyes, and he suddenly felt a pang of regret.
"It's a pity I couldn't bring myself to glance at Anglie."
However, Anglie also seems to possess some kind of powerful bloodline power. When this bloodline power is activated, he can even severely injure Jupiter is at the mid-stage of level three.
Perhaps it's as he said.
There is still some gap between him and me now.
"The Southern Wizard Genius Gathering - Helamus's Prodigy Leader"
Ronan felt a strange sensation as he recalled what Anglie had said to him when he left.
Thinking this, he gripped the Mirror Dagger in his hand, channeled his spiritual power into it, activated the runes, and gently plunged the dagger into his shoulder.
"Whoosh—"
Ronan's figure vanished instantly from the empty Fighting Arena, leaving only starlight scattered across the scene, a serene stillness lingering. In the secluded little space, the two sides stood silently facing each other.
One of them was dressed in a silver-white standard robe, embroidered with intricate blue electric current patterns, clearly a wizard from the Thunder Council.
On the other side were two mysterious figures shrouded in black robes, their shapes and faces obscured.
The Thunder Council has more wizards, but they are subtly at a disadvantage.
The two men in black robes opposite them both exuded the powerful aura of Third Level Wizard, while the Thunder Council was being held together by a single long-haired middle-aged wizard who was also a third-level wizard.
"Don't worry, you're not in any danger for the time being."
One of the mysterious figures in black robes spoke in a low, husky voice, "If your Dawn Speaker of the Thunder Council can readily hand over the World Stone, everyone here has a chance to survive, of course."
The man in black robes glanced at the group of Thunder Council wizards before him and slowly opened his arms. "The [Resurrection Society] also welcomes you all to join us."
This is also why we are here.
"Only a madman would associate with you vermin who willingly [Enslavement] darkness and can only live in the shadows!"
The middle-aged wizard from the Thunder Council muttered a curse under his breath, staring coldly at the two of them.
The latter simply shook his head, saying, "You don't understand us because you don't understand the real [Resurrection Society]."
Cleansing the old world is not our goal; pursuing true truth and becoming strong is what unites us.
Everything we do is simply a unique way of pursuing the essence of things.
You don't understand, so you slander, using foolish words like light and darkness to define the towering structure. If it were to stand atop the Third Ring, would you become worms living in the shadows?
The black-robed man's words seemed to carry a strong seductive intent, causing some of the wizards in the Thunder Council to waver slightly.
The middle-aged wizard in the lead sensed the subtle changes in the emotions of the people behind him. His expression shifted, and he immediately interrupted them with a sharp, low shout.
"Shut up!"
Just then, in this small, isolated space, between the two groups facing off, strange ripples spread through the air, indicating fluctuations in spatial energy.
Immediately afterwards, a tall and slender figure dressed in a gray-black robe gently emerged from the ripples.
He was a handsome young man with a calm expression. After appearing, he immediately and calmly looked around.
Both the black-robed members of the Thunder Council and the [Resurrection Society] were taken aback when they saw someone suddenly appear.
After a brief silence, "Boom!"
A man in black robes suddenly attacked, unleashing a powerful burst of magical energy that slammed into the boy's location.
However, before he could make a move, the young wizard had already casually plunged a silver-white dagger into his shoulder and disappeared again.
The spell missed its target, creating a violent energy fluctuation. The wizards from the Thunder Council retreated with tense expressions.
Two men in black robes suddenly appeared where the boy had just been, but at this moment they no longer cared about the people of the Thunder Council.
"That's the coordinate! I recognize his face!"
"Didn't Damien and Ignatius go and take care of him?!"
"I don't know why, but he managed to escape!"
"Quickly inform the others. If we get the World Stone but don't get the coordinates, we will all be punished!"
"Um!"
The two men in black robes spoke hurriedly, and then, under the astonished and uncertain gazes of the Thunder Council wizards, one of them hurriedly disappeared into the void, as if following the boy from before.
Seeing that only one [Resurrection Society] black-robed figure remained in the arena, the middle-aged wizard from the Thunder Council's side had a glint in his eye.
A moment later, his lips moved rapidly, and a low chanting of incantations rang out, accompanied by powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from his body.
The remaining figure in black robes sensed the change in their demeanor, turned indifferently, and said in a low voice, "It seems you still have many misunderstandings about us."
"Boom!"
The battle erupts again due to the boy's unexpected intrusion.
