Age of Adepts

Under the dusky and gloomy sky, an arcane warning tower flew over a huge plain filled with golden wheat waves.

At the end of the plain, rolling black smoke rose up into the sky, and earth-shaking roars of fighting continued to be heard.

As far as I could see, a strange beast as huge as a small mountain was madly banging and killing, and fighting them to the death was a huge arcane puppet with a size of hundreds of meters and a body made of azure crystal.

The fighting on the ground was terrifying, while the sky was not idle either, full of strange monsters with eagle wings on their backs, battling with a hovering and circling arcane warning tower.

And above them, a strangely shaped star beast has rushed up to the particularly grand scale of the floating city, and is roaring angrily in the dense Austrian artillery fire and torrent, crazy killing and destroying everything in front of them.

This Star Beast was extremely large, almost the size of a human city each.

Its massive body was densely covered with huge, dark scales, while underneath it were hundreds of thick, knobby giant legs. Don't look at its bloated and hideous size, but it had an agility that was extremely disproportionate to its size.

It twisted its body, roaring loudly as it crawled rapidly forward.

The dense cannon fire ricocheting out from the Floating Fortress and the Arcane Vigilance Tower exploded into a continuous sea of fire on the surface of its torso, leaving behind crater after crater of flesh and blood several meters deep and more than ten meters in diameter. This kind of injury on the body of an ordinary creature, has long been dead, but on the body of this easily thousands of meters in size, but it is only some scabies, can not damage its life origin.

However, such an intense arcane attack still caused this star beasts to suffer a lot of pain.

It raised its neck and emitted a variety of strange shrieks that shook heaven and earth, raising its giant claws and pulling on its body Monday, and rows and rows of tall arcane buildings collapsed in a huge column of dust. Neither people nor buildings could remain intact under its tens of meters long, sharp claws.

Even those arcane towers that were protected by powerful arcane powers would be swept by the ten-meter-thick knobby legs of this star beast, and the transparent arcane barriers outside the towers would creak and distort in a crackling burst of energy martyrdom.

If the Tower didn't dodge and escape in time and was attacked by the Star Beast's terrifying jointed limbs, the Tower would explode into a huge firework with a loud, earth-shattering boom.

If the official Arcane Tower was still like this, the simple version of the Vigilance Tower would be even more vulnerable.

Therefore, facing this terrifying star beast that rushed up to the Floating City, large groups of arcane masters rushed out from the various arcane towers and floating fortresses, driving and driving a tall and powerful arcane puppet, gathering around the opponent's side to frantically attack.

Some of the parasitic beasts inhabiting the Star Beast's body surface, however, were driven by the Star Beast to frantically fight the incoming arcane masters and arcane puppets.

The powerful Star Beast spewed out thick energy beams of different colors as it swept a large area of death across the surface of the Floating City, twisting its body as it tried to crawl towards the magnificent hall at the very core.

Wherever its massive body and densely packed thick knobby feet passed, houses collapsed and the earth cracked.

And the purple-black blood flowing from the many wounds on its body landed on the earth and would soon congeal into a violent and fierce bloodthirsty beast. Their fierceness and strength was no less than those 2 ring arcane masters.

And a 2-ringed Arcane Tower, even within the Arcane Empire, could be considered a more noble professional! But for this huge star beast, any drop of blood in its body combined with the substances within the bit could condense into a terrifying strange monster of the 2nd stage.

This... also fully illustrated how powerful and terrifying this star beast was!

It's just a rank 6 star beast!

If it was placed outside of the bitumen barrier, the vast arcane empire could have blasted it to pieces with intense firepower with a large number of great arcane masters and an incomparably powerful half bitumen fortress. However, when this 6th stage star beast broke into the interior of the bit plane, its attack power was limited to the peak of 4th stage, but its huge size and superhuman physique made it a terrifying monster that was almost impossible to destroy.

Faced with such a massive star beast, even the two Olympian Emperors who were ranked as high as rank 8 were somewhat intimidated.

With their power, they naturally had no problem trying to kill this star beast.

However, just because the power they controlled was too powerful, any little power aftershock that spilled out would cause more damage to this Floating Sky City, to this Bit World, than to this Star Beast, and would be much harder to clean up!

It was precisely the existence of this reason that made the great arcane masters fearful and become at a loss for words.

These Star Beasts could care less about the immense damage that the wild battles had caused to this Bit World, but they couldn't care less!

After all, the Morian Bitterness belonged to the Arcane Empire, to them, the Arcane Masters and Great Arcane Masters. Once an unbridled attack had smashed their own home, what was the point of defending it against those powerful enemies that were currently eyeing outside the bit barrier and wanted to invade in a big way?

...................

Light of Truth, Floating Sky City.

As the largest and most powerful arcane floating city within the Arcane Empire, the Light of Truth had a pivotal role in the entire Morian Plane.

In the center of the Light of Truth Floating City, there towered a majestic, grand and beautifully styled Arcane Hall. The palace was divided into ten levels, each of which was a hundred meters above and below, and on top of the wide, flat platform of substance, there were large and small arcane academies, public libraries, arcane research institutes, study***, stargazing platforms, arcane laboratories... and a large number of puppet-making rooms scattered about.

Of the only two Arcane Emperors of the Arcane Empire, the one in charge, Garcia, was stationed here all year round, and had also made this Light of Truth Floating City into the unique political and economic center of the entire Arcane Empire.

Unfortunately, the Light of Truth Floating City became the main target of many powerful extra-territorial enemies at the time of this great disaster. The two Arcane Emperors were still defending themselves against the rounds of attacks from terrifying enemies outside the bitter barrier, while inside the bitter barrier, a 6th stage Star Swallowing Beast had burrowed into the Morian Bit and was attacking the Light of Truth Floating City with impunity.

Looking at its intentions, it seemed to be trying to attack the control center of the Floating Sky City and make this Light of Truth Floating Sky City fall into the sky. With the size of the current Light of Truth Floating Sky City, once it fell to the ground, it would be difficult for it to ascend back into the sky within a hundred years.

Once the Light of Truth fell, the Olympic Empire's Half-Surface Fortress, which was currently located outside the barrier, would lose its necessary energy supply. At that time, the war front that was relying on the Half-Surface Fortress and the Floating Arcane Tower to barely hold off the enemy was at risk of collapsing in an instant.

Therefore, even if the losses were huge, the Olympians would have to annihilate this star swallowing beast and break the invasion conspiracy of the extra-territorial enemy!

Within the Hall of Ordeals, the three 6th rank Grand Ordeal Masters gathered together and argued fiercely.

"Activate the Light of Annihilation... We must activate the Light of Annihilation... Otherwise, if the Star Swallowing Beast really attacks the central hub, what are we relying on to stop its advance?"

"No! The light of annihilation is too powerful, it will burn the energy dense core... Once the energy dense core is damaged, do we have the resources to repair it?"

"What about it? And watch our people die and our homes be torn apart? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I don't believe that the self-destruct of a 6-ringed Great Olympian would be unable to kill it..."

The three of them were arguing fiercely with each other, unable to convince anyone, which also made the atmosphere in this palace unusually boring and scorching.

While the three of you were arguing, the Star Swallowing Beast moved its body and advanced another hundred meters.

Wherever its huge body passed, all buildings were knocked down and crushed, and all living creatures were slaughtered. The energy pillars spewing out from its giant mouth even struck an arcane tower from the sky, causing it to crash in front of it with heavy black smoke.

"No, I can't bear it anymore... I'm going to stalk that Star Swallowing Beast, so you guys can continue your discussion here!" The oldest of the three old men poked the marble floor with a crutch in his hand, and his eyes turned red.

And at that moment, an unusually soft voice suddenly sounded within the main hall.

"Nihl, your temperament is still so impatient. There's no need for you to go, just leave this wretched fellow to me!"

With the appearance of a soft voice, the huge arcane symbol array in the center of the palace suddenly lit up silently, and countless mysterious runes and arcane light spread out from it, outlining the image of an unusually tall and majestic arcane master in the air.

From the outside, he is just an old-faced Occultist, a simple and plain Occult robe, a fluorescent white and snowy Occult scepter, a solemn and dignified appearance, snow-white eyebrows below the pupils of the two eyes lit up with two small suns that burned blindly.

This is an ordinary, extremely ordinary Occultist!

If one had to say what was different between him and other arcane masters, it was the arcane crown worn on his pale white hair. It was overflowing with layers of visible arcane ripples, maintaining a deep and intimate connection with the Floating Sky City and the entire plane.

At the moment, however, the strange arcane master wearing the arcane crown was emitting a fluorescent arcane light around his body, seemingly not a human body, but a humanoid projection of arcane energy condensed.

When the three great arcane masters saw the energy humanoid, they all hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"You are the Seeker of Arcane Truth, guiding us on our way..."

"Alright, alright, what time is it, and you have to repeat these meaningless and nutritious salutations. You guys guard the Hall of Olympians, I'll take care of that guy..."

With that said, the humanoid void had appeared in the sky above the Hall of Ordeals with a shake of the body.
