Yang Ling took out the remaining Premium Crystal Orbs and Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals to quickly get rid of the Energy Whirlwind in the battlefield’s sky. He didn’t mind consuming a large amount of Wizard Power and Mental Energy to set up a large Spirit Gathering Formation. He still set up the Great Wizard Altar again as a precaution before he set up a Restriction Spell and put a Soul Imprint on every stele on the battlefield. He had made ample preparations!

Buzz!

After Yang Ling loaded up the large Spirit Gathering Formation Spell with his Wizard Power, it let out a soft noise and instantly released multicolored radiance. Soon after, it started crazily absorbing the energy condensed in the battlefield’s sky. Intense Magical Power, chaotic Soul Energy, and even Divine Power released by High-Level Divine Beasts’ bodies flowed into Yang Ling’s body.

Swoosh!

The energy on the battlefield couldn’t disperse thanks to the suppression of the Ancient Restriction Spell, and it was accumulated here for thousands upon thousands of years. A terrifying amount of energy was condensed here, and it flowed toward Yang Ling due to the Spirit Gathering Formation Spell set up by him. The energy was like a torrential flood that found a spillway, and it flowed out strongly and formed substantial white fog.

Pain and pleasure!

The berserk energy tore Yang Ling’s veins and expanded them repeatedly. The veins would be usually expanded again before his Wizard Power healed them, and the energy started settling in his body thanks to the Body Honing Wizard Mantra’s effects. The energy seeped into every inch of flesh and veins in his body, and it carried out a great strengthening process never-seen-before.

Originally, the Wizard Core had already shrunk until it became as big as a fingertip, but after it absorbed this great energy, it started quickly expanding as if it were filled with air. But soon after, it shrunk again until it became as big as a bowl. However, the amount of Wizard Power contained in it wasn’t the same as before, and it would release a large amount of Wizard Power with every breath, while its operation speed became higher than before by tens folds or even a hundredfold.

Everything proceeded as Yang Ling expected. After the energy absorbed by his body and Wizard Power reached his upper bearing limit, the Wizard Pagoda’s symbol between his brows was activated, and it started absorbing the turbulent energy like a bottomless pit.

If it could be said that Yang Ling that was sitting in the center of the Spirit Gathering Formation Spell was like a magnet, then the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension was like a black hole that would absorb the energy in the battlefield’s sky without a stop. After a short while, the terrifying Energy Whirlwind in the battlefield’s sky started dissipating.

A large amount of the energy contained in the body of the husky man in black armor was extracted out thanks to the Spirit Gathering Formation Spell’s function. The man’s rosy face quickly turned pale Even his body started withering, and he turned quickly from a man in the prime of his life into a withered old man with many wrinkles on his face. The man that emitted a peerless wave of pressure that scared the Nine-Headed Python King Hydra, the Dark Dragon King, and others had turned from a peerless powerhouse into a withered old man.

Buzz!

As a black blur flickered, the husky man in black armor that lost the protection of a large amount of energy wasn’t any longer able to withstand the Restriction Spell’s suppression, and fine cracks started appearing on his body and armor. As a cracking sound echoed out, his whole body started splitting open like a sculpture.

Ah!

The husky man in black armor was still motionless, yet it seemed like a miserable cry suddenly echoed out of his body. However, this could have probably been just a misperception.

The man let out a hoarse shout. This seemed like the shout of a Magical Beast at death’s door, yet it also seemed like the resentful cry of a struggling soul of the deceased. More cracks quickly appeared on the body of the husky in black armor before the crowd could listen to his cry carefully, and as a rumbling noise echoed out, he exploded and turned into dust that disappeared thoroughly. The weird sound also disappeared with the man, and as a jingling sound echoed out, an archaic and simple ring fell in front of Yang Ling.

“Well? Could it be that the husky man in black armor still retained a wisp of his Divine Consciousness a while ago?” When Yang Ling detected the dissipating resentment in the air, he was quite surprised. When he had observed the Battle Soul Blade, he inspected the man in black armor repeatedly and didn’t find any Soul Ripples. He didn’t expect that his body would emit such intense resentment at the last moment.

It was a powerhouse, an extraordinary powerhouse!

Even though he sustained deadly injuries, the last wisp of his consciousness could still deceive a Great Soul Wizard like Yang Ling. Yang Ling couldn’t even imagine the great power of the husky man in black armor at his prime.

The shocked Yang Ling picked the ring that fell before him and inspected it carefully. The battle armor of the husky man shattered apart, and just this ring was left intact. Just this matter alone demonstrated that it was priceless, and it surely wasn’t an ordinary treasure since even this great expert kept it with him.

The simple ring was yellow, and nine malevolent-looking dragon heads were carved on it. It emitted wave upon wave of mysterious Energy Ripples, and even after Yang Ling studied it for a while, he didn’t find any useful clues about it. This was why Yang Ling just collected it carefully, and he planned to examine later it meticulously when he got time to do so.

“Your lordship! We have succeeded, the Teleportation Formation Spell was finally repaired.” The Corpse Wizard King was quite excited, and he rushed over excitedly as he spoke. He finally managed to repair the Magical Formation Spell on the plaza with the help of Hydra, beauty Sala, the Dark Dragon King, and others. They could finally teleport to the unknown isle in the vicinity.

“Good, pretty good!” Yang Ling paused for a moment before he said, “Rodriguez, after we break the ancient battlefield’s Restriction Spell and take the Battle Soul Blade smoothly, we will travel to the Demon Island. You should instruct the Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and others to seize the time and clean the battlefield. But, you must bear in mind that we have limited time at hand, and you shouldn’t intrude into those distant palaces.”

The castle at the seabed was quite big, and the towering palaces stretched as far as the eye could see. They were engulfed by many Ancient Restriction Spells, and even though they probably had many treasures, Yang Ling didn’t want any accidents to occur at this moment. He had to destroy the Demon Island as soon as possible to prevent the occurrence of more accidents.

After all, the Dark Association’s headquarters situated on Balark City was heavily surrounded by the Demon Island’s army, and none knew how long would the Dark Association persist. If the Sea Demon King managed to destroy the Dark Association and come back with his army, they would get great trouble.

“Hehe! Your lordship, you can set your mind at ease. Even if you didn’t give a command, none would dare to intrude there. Moreover, there are a large number of treasures on the battlefield. So, who has time to wander around?” The Corpse Wizard King chuckled before he turned around and ran away.

The plaza was filled with corpses, and there was an unknown number of High-Level Magical Beasts’ corpses here. Even though their head Godheads had disappeared, there were still many corpses of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts and humans, and if one was skilled, he would manage to pick many Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals among the innumerable corpses, and if one was lucky, he might even pick some Divine Weapons. None wanted to miss this golden opportunity!

“Well? Mica Gemstone?” The Nine-Headed Python King Hydra was sharp-sighted and deft. It collected all transparent rhombus-shaped crystals on the ground.

Mica Gemstone was a rare type of crystal, and even though it didn’t contain any energy, it could still be used to absorb and store a large amount of the world’s energy. It was one of the essential materials for building an Ancient Magical Formation Spell, and a piece of Mica Gemstone as big as a finger could be exchanged in the Magical Beast Plane for a large number of Level Surpassing Magical Beasts’ Crystal Essences. If one was lucky, he might even exchange it for a Divine Weapon or a Godhead with the old monsters that lived for innumerable years.

What was unexpected was that tens pieces were here, and every piece was as big as a palm.

“Hydra, since I have met you, I was concerned about you. Don’t you think this is…” The beauty Sala came over with a smile across her face. She didn’t know Mica Gemstone’s function, but she managed to discern that it was precious because Hydra, which possessed power at the peak of the Mid-Level Deity Stage, valued it.

“Sala, look over there, aren’t they also there?” Hydra pointed its finger at a corpse in the vicinity, and when the beauty Sala was just distracted by it, it took avail of this chance to run far away. When Hydra joined the Magical Beast Army’s camp, it taught a fierce lesson to the crude Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and others, but it still kept its distance from the beauty Sala whose sex was unknown, and it didn’t want to get involved with her.

“Huh? Why are you running so quickly? Don’t you know that I’m not interested in women?” The beauty Sala straightened her long hair that turned messy due to the wind before she cast a coquettish glance at the Dark Dragon King in the vicinity. The latter shivered as if he was bitten by a snake, and he used treasure-hunt as an excuse to escape far away. He escaped the furthest possible!

In his eyes, the beauty Sala was the most harmful person here, and she was more terrifying than the Nine-Headed Python Hydra.

“Those guys, are they looking for treasures or trying to tear down the castle?” When Yang Ling saw the Giant Ape King ramming into everything like an ox and saw the Nine-Headed Python Hydra that took its original form and started crushing a pile of corpses, he shook his head and tried to calm down before he weaved a mysterious Wizard Seal.

“Collection!”

As Yang Ling shouted, the 102 steles on the battlefield were pulled out at the same time, and they were instantly collected into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. At that moment, the Ancient Restriction Spell engulfing the plaza disappeared, and the crowd’s bodies shivered before they instantly felt lighter.

“Battle Soul, Eternal Victory’s Battle Soul.” Yang Ling collected the Great Wizard Altar and flew toward the Battle Soul Blade that emitted shocking a murderous aura. He took a breath before he stretched his hands toward it slowly and pulled out the battle blade forcefully.

Buzz!

The Battle Soul Blade let out a soft noise and started vibrating in Yang Ling’s hand. It emitted amiable Energy Ripples as if it was a part of Yang Ling’s body and as if it fused with him. Soon after, it emitted an intense murderous aura that spread far away.

In an instant, the weather changed greatly, and a sonorous bell sound emanated from the depths of the towering palaces. The innumerable Dead Souls and Spirits in the castle started shivering, and they prostrated on the ground in fear. The Battle Soul Blade’s sharp murderous aura evoked a piece of memory hidden in the depths of their souls. Those experts that ran amok innumerable years ago had all turned into unconscious Dead Spirits and Souls, but the mark left by the Battle Soul Blade on their souls was still unerasable.

“Let’s go. Let’s quickly go!”

Yang Ling took a piece of a High-Level Divine Beast’s bone and quickly turned it into a scabbard. Soon after, he carried the Battle Soul Blade on his back and observed the plaza that was filled with corpses before he observed the innumerable towering palaces. He turned around and left with big strides before he led the crowd toward the Teleportation Formation Spell that had already been repaired.
