The Ancient One's memories spanned hundreds of years, vast and immense. Wenwu only filtered and absorbed all memories related to magical cultivation, high-level spells, and forbidden spells, erasing all other useless memories.
In a short time, his understanding of magic rose again, and he mastered all the high-level magic and forbidden secret arts that he had not yet explored.
He then began to refine the Ancient One's soul essence.
"No wonder the Ancient One was so eager to die; it turns out that most of his soul had been corrupted by dark forces."
Wenwu looked surprised. If the Ancient One had lived a few more years, without Dormammu's intervention, the Ancient One, whose soul was being corrupted by darkness, would have completely lost control and become the first to devour Earth.
A dozen minutes later, Wenwu completely burned away and purified the dark power brought by the Ancient One's soul, and then stepped out of the Mirror Dimension.
But as soon as I left the space, I had a faint sense of danger.
Wenwu raised an eyebrow. This crisis wasn't fatal; it was clearly Dormammu about to break through the temple's barrier and descend upon the mortal realm!
With a thought, he instantly created hundreds of clones, simultaneously opening spatial portals to rush to the three Sanctum on Earth, to wipe out the remaining sorcerers and completely sever all of the Ancient One's legacy!
"Aaaaah... Xu Wenwu! You'll die a horrible death!"
Within Kamar-Taj and the three Sanctum, all the sorcerers were slaughtered.
The true form of Wenwu stepped out and appeared in the New York Sanctum.
At this moment, Wang Zheng, along with a few remaining mages, was desperately trying to fend off the clone's attacks.
" Xu Wenwu! Why do you insist on killing us all?"
Wang was swept away by the clone's punch, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground, filled with grief and indignation as he questioned the clone.
" Mordo plotted against me in secret, the Ancient One stole my most precious treasure."
Wenwu's expression was indifferent, his voice flat, "From that moment on, I swore that I would destroy Kamar-Taj!"
The king's face turned deathly pale. He finally understood that it was the Ancient One and Mordo who had offended this person, bringing annihilation upon all the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.
" Xu Wenwu! You have slaughtered us all, leaving the Temple undefended. Dormammu will surely descend upon Earth! At that time, no one can stop him, and you too will not escape death!"
Wang hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Submit to me, and I will spare your life."
Wenwu ignored his words, stepped forward, and looked down at him from his superior position.
"Absolutely impossible...!"
Before the king could finish uttering his refusal, another clone, wielding a magical blade, instantly pierced his neck, then devoured his soul, utterly obliterating him.
Buzz--!
At that moment, the entire Sanctum trembled violently, and the magical protective barrier in the sky flickered and cracked, on the verge of collapsing completely.
"This is all my property; it cannot be damaged!"
A smile curved Wenwu's lips as hundreds of clones instantly teleported to the three Sanctum, doing their utmost to reinforce the damaged magical barriers.
His true form flashed and instantly appeared above the Hong Kong Sanctum.
At this moment, a huge gap has been shattered in the Sanctum's defensive barrier, and a colorful dimensional space is constantly encroaching on the Earth's plane; it is Dormammu's Dark Dimension.
The Dark Dimension was not as gloomy and desolate as one might imagine; instead, it was dominated by a brilliant purple hue, radiating light and creating a dazzling yet eerie atmosphere.
Wenwu raised his hand and activated the Infinity Gauntlet. The Power Stone instantly unleashed a vast and powerful beam of purple energy, slamming fiercely into the Dark Dimension!
"Damn Xu Wenwu! Stop it right now!"
A deafening roar resounded, and a colossal purple head, as large as a mountain, emerged from the Dark Dimension, unleashing a beam of purple energy of the same origin to directly confront the Power Stone's attack!
The two extremely powerful energies clashed violently, causing space to tremble and distort, neither willing to yield!
Wenwu wore solemn expressions.
Even though Dormammu's attack was outside the Dark Dimension's home turf and suppressed by the real universe, it still retained peak Skyfather Level combat power, making it extremely formidable.
" Xu Wenwu, your luck is incredible! You've obtained both the Reality Stone and the Power Stone!"
Dormammu's massive head was filled with shock as he roared, "But your fate was already sealed! The Celestials will never tolerate your existence and will personally settle accounts with you sooner or later!"
"Enough with the nonsense! With me here, you can forget about devouring the Earth!"
Wenwu raised his left hand and gave Dormammu the middle finger, his posture arrogant and unrestrained.
The next second, he activated the Reality Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet with all his might, forcefully turning Dormammu's raging attack energy into a shower of petals.
"Hahaha! Dormammu, are these flowers being thrown to celebrate my taking control of the Earth?"
Wenwu laughed mockingly, then activated the ultimate energy of the Power Stone, pushing it upstream and forcefully repelling all the corrosive power of the Dark Dimension back into the spatial rift.
Meanwhile, his clones swiftly repaired and closed the magical barriers of the three Sanctum, filling in the gaps.
" Xu Wenwu, you killed the Ancient One and destroyed Kamar-Taj. Not only have you been targeted by the Celestials, but you have also completely offended the Vishanti and the Eternity!"
Dormammu's voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth, "Looking across the universe, you have nowhere to go! Only by submitting to the Dark Dimension and pledging allegiance to me will you have a glimmer of hope!"
As the words fell, the Dark Dimension slowly contracted, and Dormammu's massive head disappeared, completely withdrawing from the real universe.
"Hmph, trying to scare me?"
Wenwu looked disdainful.
He knew in his heart that destroying Kamar-Taj and consuming the soul of the Ancient One could indeed attract the attention of the Vishanti.
However, the Vishanti, a sorcerer system that governs countless multiverses, are unlikely to be concerned with the destruction of a single Kamar-Taj.
Besides, this universe isn't the main universe, so it won't receive much attention.
As for being targeted by Eternity, that's even more impossible.
As one of the five primordial deities, the Eternity Universe embodies all the rules and concepts of the universe. It never easily interferes in cosmic conflicts, nor does it care about someone as insignificant as him.
Only the Celestials are a real threat.
Now that he has collected multiple Infinity Stones, he will inevitably attract the attention of the Celestials.
Therefore, the only Celestials.
After everything was over, Wenwu left behind a clone to continue reinforcing the temple's magical barrier.
His true form arrived directly in Kamar-Taj, opened a portal, and teleported a large number of engineering machines to repair the buildings damaged in the battle, while simultaneously transforming the area according to his wishes.
He then entered the library, which housed a vast collection of books and sealed magical artifacts!
Wenwu casually browsed the various magical books in the library, reaching out to take down the library's most prized forbidden book.
The Book of Cagliostro.
This book records a large number of forbidden magic and secret arts, including arrays and rituals related to manipulating the Time Stone and the Dark Dimension.
What Kaecilius stole was the ritual page from this book that described "guiding Dormammu and drawing energy from the Dark Dimension to prolong life."
The Ancient One herself also relied on rituals in the book to draw power from the Dark Dimension to prolong her life.
Doctor Strange also learned how to use the Eye of Agamotto and the time loop thanks to this book.
