Wilbur watched the bus drive away slowly, then fell into deep thought. Those people who had been pestering him exuded powerful energy. Each of them had the strength of a tiger. However, that energy had disappeared. What just happened on the bus? Could it be that they were not real people? Did they attack him after detecting his energy? Wilbur had a hunch that everyone in the city was a facade. They went about their daily lives, but they would not allow another living person to exist in their world. He glanced at his clothes, then turned his head to see a suit shop. A smirk appeared on his face, and he decided to walk into the suit shop to verify his suspicion. He started picking out a suit for himself. There was no trace of energy in the suit shop at first. However, the two attendants and the store owner began to emit a powerful energy within a minute and then lunged at Wilbur without saying a word. Wilbur got rid of them and went back onto the streets. He panted and smirked
The black longsword cut through several buildings with each strike, but Wilbur remained unharmed thanks to his light shield. Wilbur soon began to analyze the giant's combat prowess. The giant grew rapidly in just a few minutes, reaching a height of fifty meters, then seventy meters, and ultimately stopping at a staggering height of one hundred meters. When the giant reached a towering height of one hundred meters, all the people in the city had transformed into dark energy, merging into the giant. The giant, seemingly fearing that Wilbur might escape, violently plunged its black longsword into the ground. The dark energy dispersed from the impact point across the land. The dark energy surged through buildings from the ground several hundred meters away. It soon rose into the sky, and the dark energy gathered above the giant, forming a cube-shaped cage that trapped Wilbur inside. Then, the giant swung its longsword again, and Wilbur dodged it desperately. Wilbur continuously dod
The City Lord laughed loudly while tilting his head back, saying, "The black energy is my defense. All your attacks will be absorbed by it. Give up now, for your efforts are futile." "Never!" yelled Wilbur. Wilbur moved swiftly and appeared in front of the City Lord. His fist aimed for the City Lord's face, and it was accompanied by the roar of the gold dragon. The City Lord moved swiftly in a blur to evade the attack, but Wilbur was able to sense his location. There was a flash of determination in Wilbur's eyes as he yelled, "I've found you! Prepare to die!" He thrust the Azure Dragon Spear forward, and in the blink of an eye, it hovered mid-air as the City Lord reappeared. The azure dragon roared to life and lunged at the City Lord. The black energy intercepted the azure dragon and turned it into dark energy that soon dissipated into nothingness. The City Lord smirked and said, "I told you. Your attacks are useless against me." "I wouldn't be so sure about that," said Wilbur.
However, the large creature was very cunning. Wilbur thought that splitting the ground open would provoke the creature into a frenzied retaliation, and perhaps it would come out of hiding and fight him in the open. Much to Wilbur's surprise, the creature did not emerge from underground even though it was furious. The creature kept attacking Wilbur with its vines while remaining hidden. Initially, only a single vine would emerge from the ground, but as time passed, more and more vines appeared until there were dozens of them attacking him at the same time. Despite the increasing number of vines, none of them managed to harm Wilbur. Wilbur was a dragon clan cultivator, after all. His dragon aura could sense everything within the space it covered. So, whenever the massive creature underground made any movement, he knew its exact position. The cunning creature wanted to use the ground as cover to hunt its prey above. Unfortunately for the creature, Wilbur was not an ordinary target
Upon that thought, Wilbur conjured a small black dagger in his palm through his will. A soft rip could be heard as the dagger made a cut on the sphere. With the power of destruction infused into the dagger, Wilbur slashed with great force, cutting open a foot-long gash on the sphere. The sphere seemed to have sensed his action and started to roll rapidly. It rolled across the vast grassland, speeding along like a tumbleweed in the wind. The strange creature planned to knock Wilbur unconscious with the hard stones on the grassland, then digest him. However, Wilbur gripped the dagger and found an opportunity to escape after some observation. He cut open the sphere and suddenly lunged outward from within, freeing himself. Wilbur watched as the rolling sphere came to a stop hundreds of meters away. Suddenly, the sphere swiftly rolled back toward him at high speed as though it had noticed his presence. "Good," Wilbur muttered. The Magic Dragon Blade was in his grasp with the flic
"What? Could it be that you have a different kind of power on you?" he asked. "Argh!" Wilbur cried out. Power of light surged forth from within him, and it instantly enveloped both him and the strange man in a blinding brilliance. The powerful light then spread out and vanished. The strange man dissipated into black energy, and he disappeared without a trace. Wilbur touched his throat, then looked up at the vortex of white light that appeared in the sky, commenting, "It seems that it's as I expected. All dark forces cannot compete with the power of light. At least that's the case in the lower dimension." Wilbur replayed the battle in his mind and found it incredible that such a strange creature even existed. The creature was capable of absorbing dark energy, transforming into a plant, liquid, and even a human form. It was truly a bizarre creature. Wilbur pondered for a moment, then decided to train on the fourth level for a while because he felt that he should only proceed to
Wilbur was excited about this because unleashing thirty percent of the dragon aura was three times more than what he was previously capable of. As long as he could control the aura successfully, the power of the Dragon Spell would be tripled. Wilbur originally planned to stay on the fourth level for twenty years, using this time to cultivate and enhance his strength. The first ten years would be spent creating a vortex field of energy within his body, and in the next ten years, Wilbur hoped to successfully control dragon aura to triple the power of the Dragon Spell. However, controlling the strengthened dragon aura was not an easy task, and time passed unnoticed. The original plan that was supposed to take ten years ended up taking fifteen years. Wilbur had spent a total of forty-five years including the time spent on the first level. Knowing he had only seventy-five years in the space of the arcane formation, he had used up forty-five years. That left him with only thirty-five y
Therefore, the Dark Messenger believed that instead of seeking protection from powerful cultivators of a higher dimension, or protection from evil gods, none of it mattered as much as growing his own power. The Dark Messenger believed that only by becoming powerful could one change their own destiny. The Dark Messenger considered the middle dimensions to be a mere stepping stone. However, after battling the Child of Light and falling into the lower dimension, everyone assumed that he was defeated. No one knew that it was all a part of his plan. The Dark Messenger knew that to absorb dark energy, he had to find a place with a lot of dark energy. The dark energy in the lower dimension far exceeded the dark energy in the middle dimension. The Dark Messenger's true form, the Dark Lord, had absorbed vast amounts of dark energy throughout centuries of cultivation. His power was far beyond ordinary cultivators. Earth would be consumed by darkness if he succeeded, and it would become the
