For Saine and other Black Wizard Apprentice, they had already spent more than half a year in the Yellow Sand World. →

But for the Black Magician still in the Underdark of the Wizard World, they had been waiting in Shadow Valley for a full year.

A year has passed, and as the day to build the passage between the two worlds draws ever closer, not only are the Formal Black Wizard getting restless, but even the long-calm hearts of Vice Dean Martin and Qiongni are stirred anew.

"There shouldn't be any more surprises this time, right?"

"I heard that several passages connecting the Underdark to the Surface World have been occupied and discovered by the Holy Tower Magician. It seems like they're targeting us in a premeditated way?" Qiongni said to Martin beside her.

"Regardless of whether those Holy Tower Magician discovered anything beforehand, it's too late now."

"The mentor has already departed from City of Mozhsuobula."

"As long as we successfully construct a passage connecting the two worlds and allow the mentor to retrieve the Level-4 Biological Heart Core."

"Absorb the earth Elemental Power within and comprehend the related laws."

"When our mentor returns as a level four Black Magician, unless the Holy Tower Master himself arrives, ordinary Holy Tower Magician will be unable to stop us!" Martin said confidently.

Vice Dean Martin's true strength and life level are actually higher than most Black Magician imagine.

This is a great Mage secretly advanced to the third level a hundred years ago.

A higher Life Level, coupled with a mentor on the verge of breaking through to level four, allows Martin to know far more secrets of the Wizard World than the average Black Magician. →

For example, there is a rule in the Wizard World that those who are level four or above are strictly prohibited from taking action on a large scale in the Wizard World.

The significance of this rule lies in the immense power and coverage of attacks made by experts at level four and above.

This will not only cause unimaginable damage to ordinary creatures living in the Wizard World, but may also affect the plane environment and rules of the Wizard World.

After all, Level-4 lifeform could already be called a "god" in the Star Realm and most ignorant planes.

The power wielded by beings at this level is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Many weak and barren Low-Level Plane, even if they exhaust all the essence of the entire plane, can only barely support one or two Level-4 lifeform.

Martin didn't know exactly how many beings of level four or higher existed in the Wizard World.

But he knew that there were hundreds of "Black Tower" built by Black Magician of level four or above in the Black Domain.

Martin's answer relieved Qiongni.

She may not trust others, but she must trust the Dean, the terrifying power of the Lord of City of Mozhsuobula.

This is a ruthless individual who, even at the Level-3 Peak, could withstand the pursuit of a level four Black Magician from the Black Domain.

In fact, if it weren't for that level four Black Magician's sneak attack during the city lord's critical breakthrough, interrupting him and causing him to suffer elemental backlash, →

The city lord has probably already broken through to level four.

How could things be like they are now, where most of their hopes for advancing to level four are placed on that Level-4 lifeform from Alien Plane that has already perished, and they have been planning for this for over a hundred years?

"How exactly did that Level-4 lifeform perish in this Alien World? And how did it happen to leave a spatial rift here in the Underdark?" Qiongni asked a question she had wanted to know for nearly a hundred years.

"Heh, it seems he was an unlucky guy who accidentally descended into the Wizard World through Time-Space Rift. He was casually killed by the Summer Guardian happened to be passing by and thrown out of the Wizard World."

"My mentor has some connections in the Beren Empire and learned that there might still be some unrepaired Time-Space Rift in the Underdark. Plus, that alien Level-4 lifeform just happens to be Earth Element, so we came to try our luck," Martin replied.

Perhaps because success was imminent, Martin no longer hid certain things from Qiongni.

Of course, there was some information he didn't mention, such as who in the Beren Empire was sending the message to the mentor.

These secrets are the core secrets of his lineage.

This also highlights that the group of Black Magician in the Black Domain has always had some unclear and ambiguous relationship with the Beren Empire, the top power in the Wizard World.

Martin's mentor was not an isolated case.

A rhythmic melody of elements echoed throughout the Black Wizard Apprentice Camp in the Yellow Sand World.

Powered by numerous magical devices and hundreds of Element Pearl, a bluish oval passage is slowly forming in mid-air.

Saine and most of the Black Wizard Apprentice watched the gradually forming Space Channel with surprise and delight.

until...

A loud "boom" resounded.

The loud noise seemed to come from the other end of the passage; something must have happened to the Black Magician of the Underdark.

Immediately afterwards, violent tremors came from the depths of the Space Channel.

It not only shattered many magical artifacts and tents in the camp, but also stirred up tens of meters of yellow sand around it.

Fortunately, the spatial Coordinate Generator had already been activated and received by the dark Black Magician of the Underdark on the other side, so the stable Space Channel had not yet been affected.

Many unsuspecting Black Wizard Apprentice crawled out of the yellow sand, covered in dust and dirt.

They stared in astonishment at the scene before them, which seemed significantly different from what they had expected.

The first to react was a Quasi-Magician.

Saine knew his name was Luke, and he was considered one of the strongest in the camp. Even the senior brother Zorro had to listen to him in many situations. It seemed that the other party was a confidant of Vice Dean Martin.

Luke possesses the Levitation Spell, which is rarely learned even by Advanced Apprentice.

Holding a staff, he quickly flew into the air and entered the Space Channel.

However, before the other apprentices could follow suit, Luke, who had just entered the Space Channel, rushed out in a hurry.

However, Luke was ultimately a step too late.

A massive pillar of blazing fire erupted from the Space Channel, engulfing most of Luke's body.

An incredulous face and a single, struggling arm marked the fact that the Quasi-Magician Luke never imagined he would meet such an end.

The pillars of flame that surged from the Space Channel not only engulfed and instantly killed Luke, but also caused obvious cracks to appear in the Space Channel that had just stabilized.

The exaggerated pillar of flame, upon reaching the Yellow Sand World, transformed into a rain of fire, causing heavy Casualties among the Black Wizard Apprentice gathered around the Space Channel.

This is definitely not a power that an ordinary first-level Formal Magician can use!

Having witnessed firsthand the battle between his mentor Moxidu and Kaisersen Master of the Plantation, Saine knew that while battles between Formal Magician were often exaggerated, none could be this powerful in a single strike.

The anomaly not only stunned the group of Black Wizard Apprentice, including Saine, but also made the newly formed Space Channel extremely dangerous.

Even more serious is that the arrival of the blazing pillars of fire was just the beginning; a violent hurricane suddenly surged out of the Space Channel.

It instantly shattered the Space Channel and the surrounding camp!
