Chapter 76

The Ancient One nodded.

At least the wait hadn't been in vain.

"Space Magic is indeed difficult to comprehend. I'm quite pleased that you managed to gain some insight in these five hours," The Ancient One said slowly. "I hope what you've learned will be of help to you."

"It really has helped. I feel like my thoughts are much clearer, and the magical energy in my body seems to have grown stronger too." Zhang Yang spoke to The Ancient One with some excitement.

Mm.

The Ancient One said, "In Space Magic, spatial teleportation is the most fundamental. You can now try using the Space Gem in conjunction with your own magical energy and see how far you can teleport. While you're at it, you can roughly test whether your magical energy has broken through."

Zhang Yang nodded and used Object Retrieval Magic to bring over the Tesseract.

Following The Ancient One's instructions, Zhang Yang used his magical energy to activate the Tesseract.

The blue Tesseract began to shine with blue light under the push of Zhang Yang's energy. The Ancient One sat cross-legged opposite him, watching the energy within the Tesseract gradually grow stronger. Soon, the blue light expanded, and a Portal opened.

As a flash of blue light swept past, in the blink of an eye—

Zhang Yang and The Ancient One vanished.

When Zhang Yang opened his eyes again, he saw nothing but darkness and chaos all around him.

The darkness was boundless, with no end in sight. Strange creatures filled the surroundings.

The place resembled a vast and mysterious realm, one Zhang Yang had never seen before.

"Master... where is this?" Zhang Yang couldn't help feeling confused.

He seemed to be waiting for The Ancient One to explain.

Yet The Ancient One remained silent.

When Zhang Yang looked at her again, he didn't know if it was just his imagination.

But on The Ancient One's usually composed face, he saw... panic.

Yes! Zhang Yang was certain that expression was panic.

That left Zhang Yang somewhat stunned.

He had merely followed the image that had suddenly flashed through his mind and, according to The Ancient One's instructions, teleported to the farthest place he could reach.

But he truly had no idea where this place was.

More importantly, how could it make panic appear on The Ancient One's face?

It seemed this was no ordinary place.

"Don't ask. Leave, now..." The Ancient One suddenly said as Zhang Yang was lost in thought.

Zhang Yang could clearly sense that as she spoke, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly and... twitched.

"Huh?" Zhang Yang was bewildered by her words.

They were leaving already?

Zhang Yang was about to ask when The Ancient One continued almost without pause, "It'll be too late once Dormammu notices us."

Dormammu?

Zhang Yang froze inwardly.

Dormammu?

Wasn't that the ruler of the Dark Dimension whom his senior brothers feared whenever they mentioned him?

The great villain The Ancient One had spent several centuries unable to deal with despite all the evil he had committed on Earth?!

No way, sir...

At that moment, Zhang Yang felt a little nervous.

He couldn't help looking toward The Ancient One.

And at this moment, the expression on The Ancient One's face was far from pleasant.

Though even now, The Ancient One maintained her usual cool and aloof bearing well.

Zhang Yang could still clearly feel it.

The Ancient One was no longer calm.

Of course!

How could The Ancient One possibly stay calm right now?!

The Ancient One had merely told Zhang Yang to try teleporting as far as he could.

Yet Zhang Yang had directly teleported them right in front of Dormammu?!

The Ancient One had encountered Dormammu when she was still very young.

Her battle with Dormammu had continued from her youth until now.

In order to destroy Dormammu, The Ancient One had racked her brains.

But was a ruler of a dimension really that easy to eliminate?

Left with no choice, all The Ancient One could do was wear Dormammu down.

And by wearing him down, she meant that every time Dormammu came to Earth, The Ancient One drove him back.

An endless cycle, year after year of passivity.

After living so long, Dormammu had always been a knot in The Ancient One's heart.

It wasn't that The Ancient One would run when she saw Dormammu, but she would definitely never take the initiative to provoke him.

After all, during the many centuries The Ancient One had fought Dormammu, she had suffered no small number of losses!

The Ancient One simply never imagined—

That one day, her own disciple would open a Portal and send her straight to Dormammu's doorstep!

Zhang Yang!

· ···· Please send flowers · ···

Were you trying to screw over your master?!

Who knew how close The Ancient One was to breaking down right now?

"...Leave. Now."

They had to get out before Dormammu arrived. Otherwise, this would get troublesome!

The Ancient One's head throbbed. She was speechless.

Although she had heard that Zhang Yang occasionally did things that shocked people.

But wasn't what he had done today a bit too much?

Of all places, where did he have to go?

He sent his master straight to Dormammu?

"Oh, okay." Hearing The Ancient One's words, Zhang Yang snapped back to his senses and prepared to open a Portal and leave.

But just then, a deafening and unrestrained laugh echoed from every direction in the Dark Dimension. "Leave? Do you think my territory is a place where you can come and go whenever you please?"

... ... 0

As that eerie laughter rang out—

Zhang Yang felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake violently.

An enormous face, one that looked large enough to devour the sun, moon, and stars, appeared before Zhang Yang and The Ancient One.

The Ancient One's expression changed, and she said gravely, "Not good."

They were done for. Dormammu had arrived!

The Ancient One had lived for so long.

Yet she had never imagined that her own disciple would leave her so frustrated.

Zhang Yang had truly screwed The Ancient One over!

Not only had he sent The Ancient One to Dormammu, but he had also alerted Dormammu!

Now The Ancient One was completely speechless.

Before Dormammu had been alerted, Zhang Yang might have been able to open a Portal and escape while Dormammu was unaware.

But now Dormammu had come. Things were dangerous now.

Did he really think Dormammu's Dark Dimension was so easy to enter?!

In all the time that had passed—

Unless Dormammu retreated of his own accord or was exceptionally weak—

Even with The Ancient One's abilities, it was difficult for her to leave Dormammu's Dark Dimension unscathed.

What the hell!

This was Dormammu!

Not some random nobody!

Who was Dormammu?!

The ruler of the Dark Dimension!

You had to know that in Dormammu's dimension, even the Infinity Stones were useless!

That alone showed how terrifying the Dark Dimension was.

Chapter 77

If The Ancient One had known from the start that things would turn out like this, she never would have let Zhang Yang teleport to the farthest place possible!

Who would have thought Zhang Yang could directly break through dimensions?

How long had Zhang Yang even had the Tesseract?

Even by a genius's standards, Zhang Yang should only have been capable of traveling freely through Other-Dimensional Space by now.

But Zhang Yang had gone and done this instead!

Including his earlier Portal practice and the Tesseract he used yesterday, he had practiced Teleportation Magic for no more than three days, right? And he had fucking broken through dimensions already!

Hiss~

The Ancient One drew in a sharp breath.

After all, she was The Ancient One. Having lived so long, she had seen many things.

Though shocked, The Ancient One quickly calmed down.

Since things had come to this and they couldn't run, then they would fight.

After all, it wasn't as though The Ancient One had never fought Dormammu before.

But after regaining her composure, The Ancient One's doubts about Zhang Yang's identity and abilities only deepened.

The Ancient One had noticed more than once—

The Eye of Agamotto could not see Zhang Yang's future. Other than being able to see the Holy Light

Even her powerful perception could not detect the thoughts in Zhang Yang's mind.

This reminded The Ancient One of what Odin had warned her when he came to see her before.

Zhang Yang was not someone Kamar-Taj could keep.

"The Ancient One, I didn't come looking for you, yet you came looking for me?" As The Ancient One was thinking, Dormammu spoke. "But since you're here, it won't be so easy for you to leave. This isn't a place where you can come and go whenever you please!"
