Despite Wilbur not knowing who the person in his body was, he had saved Wilbur's life just now. That alone was enough to make Wilbur feel rather grateful. Wilbur thanked the person in his head once more, then continued to walk forward. The dark energy around him grew much stronger as he walked, causing the Light Helmet and Light Gloves to emit a white glow. A protective barrier of white light formed around Wilbur's body, and he continued to make his way forward. Just as he was a dozen meters or so away from the pillar of black miasma in the middle of the formation, the Dark Lord let out a cry of fury. "Arghhhhhh!" The pillar of black miasma began to grow, quickly swallowing Wilbur. What looked like a pillar from the outside actually contained a gigantic spiraling vortex in the middle. Before Wilbur could even move, the dark aura lifted him into the vortex, forcing him to spin along with it. Just then, the Dark Lord sensed Wilbur's presence and let out a laugh from the cente
The defensive barrier rumbled as it absorbed the black miasma that surged out of the swords, and the power of light radiated out of the holes the swords left as it mended them Within just a little over ten seconds, the defensive barrier had grown several times more powerful. It was undamaged even after the last sword disappeared, and the holes left by the swords were fully mended too. "A defensive barrier of the power of the light," said the Dark Lord. "Ha! Even the Child of Light wouldn't be any match for me if he were to show up right now, let alone a nobody like you from a lower dimension." The Dark Lord muttered a spell, and a powerful wave of black miasma took shape above Wilbur's head in the form of a huge sword as the Dark Lord shouted, "Your defensive barrier won't be able to take a single attack from my sword no matter how powerful it is!" The defensive barrier exploded the next second, and the Dark Lord's sword came striking out toward Wilbur's chest. "You're asking
The Dark Lord was furious at the sight of the growing cube dimension. He darted over until he was above the dimension and struck the cube with a heavy blow. The cube dimension cracked at once, then exploded into countless little pieces. Wilbur leaped into the air, facing the Dark Lord before landing a punch to his chest. Wilbur moved too quickly for the Dark Lord to react, and a golden dragon appeared in the air before soaring through the Dark Lord's chest. The powerful dragon aura tossed the Dark Lord into the air, and the golden dragon suddenly expanded in size. It flicked its tail against the Dark Lord, sending him flying into the dark clouds in the sky. The golden dragon disappeared after that. Wilbur looked at the clouds, preparing himself for a battle. Yet over a dozen seconds ticked by, and the Dark Lord was nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, the ancient formation below grew rampant as it released black miasma hundreds of times more quickly. The countless wisps of blac
"Well, there's only one way left. Let me take it from here." "Senior, you—" Wilbur stopped talking abruptly as a wave of electricity passed through him and he lost control over his body. The next second, a defensive barrier of dark energy appeared around Wilbur as he also began to absorb the power of darkness. Wilbur stopped short at the sight. "What… What are you doing? My body's going to explode if you keep going!" "There's no time to worry about that! Your name's Wilbur Penn, isn't it?" "Yes, but…" "Let me ask you one thing. Do you want to save Earth or not? Answer me right now!" "I do." "Even if it costs you your life?" "Yes!" Wilbur shouted at once. He had thought about things ending this way already, but it still left him rather indignant. He had passed the tests in the magical tower. Was he really going to fail at saving the world? Just as Wilbur was thinking to himself, the rampant dark energy quickly entered his body. Among the clouds, the four figures ra
Wilbur smirked."The way I see it, eight evil gods are more than enough. Maybe more evil gods will fall in a few centuries, but you becoming one is not part of my plan. I won't let you succeed because of that.""You!"The Dark Lord glowered at Wilbur. "We could join forces once I become an evil god! You're losing a worthy teammate if you stop me, which doesn't do you any good! Once you help me become an evil god, all nine of the evil gods could work together to usurp all the lower dimensions. Once the last shred of light disappears, all the lower dimensions will become part of the chaos realm. All the cultivators and people of these dimensions would become our servants."Wilbur nodded. "That's not a bad plan. I'm willing to help you out— but on one condition.""What is it? Tell me, please! I'll agree to a hundred conditions as long as it's within my capability.""Let me take over your body. I want to fuse with you, so both you and I can become an evil god. How's that?""What? Yo
The puppet exploded just as the Magic Dragon Blade pierced through the Dark Lord's chest, and Wilbur smiled from where he was standing behind the Dark Lord. "I've used all these moves you're pulling. Do you think they'd work on me?" Wilbur yanked the Magic Dragon Blade out of the Dark Lord's chest. The wound quickly healed itself, disappearing out of sight within a matter of seconds. The Dark Lord grabbed Wilbur by the arm, pulling him over. The puppet exploded once more, filling the air with black miasma. "F*ck, that wasn't his main body! This bastard's been playing me the whole time! I'm going to kill him once I get my hands on him!" Just then, an invisible Wilbur looked at the Dark Lord from a dozen or so meters above him. "Why didn't you kill him off just now, Senior?" "He's become half an evil god, and his body will heal itself as long as there is enough dark energy in him. He will have to release all the dark energy in his body to be killed, or he will never die." "But
The Dark Lord looked around wildly with a ruthless gaze. "I dare you to come out! Come on, stop hiding! Are you going to hide for the rest of your life? A great evil god, cowering away like a little mouse! Aren't you worried that others might hear about this, and make a joke out of you?" Wilbur's voice echoed through the air then, "I've fallen for quite some time. Few in this universe know who I am, and now I'm just living in this young man's body. Why would I be mocked for battling you using the body of a young man? Surely you'd be the one to be mocked, right? Remember, you were just looking down on him for being a lower-dimension cultivator not long ago. A half-god whose goals were foiled by a lower-dimension cultivator? I think your reputation would suffer much more if this were to get out." "That's enough!" the Dark Lord roared. "I won't let you get away, you bastard! I'm going to kill you!" The Dark Lord's body radiated black aura as he spoke. It quickly spread out, forming
"I'm going to give you a task, Wilbur." "Of course, Senior." "You're going to activate the meaning of darkness that you've learned later and absorb the dark energy around you as quickly as possible no matter what happens. He's trying to devour you, so we're going to turn the tables and devour him instead. Let's see who ends up winning." Electricity flowed through Wilbur's body, and he regained control over it. Wilbur took one last look at the shrinking ball of dark energy and closed his eyes, muttering a spell as he activated the meaning of darkness and began to absorb the dark energy. "Ha! Do you think you'll be able to devour me just like that?" The ball of dark energy contracted even faster, and a wave of pressure closed in on Wilbur as if trying to crush him. Just then, the Light Gloves radiated a gray energy aura. It quickly covered Wilbur up, forming a defensive barrier. The immense pressure vanished at once, and Wilbur heaved a sigh of relief as he began to mutter sp
