Age of Adepts

The battle in the sky was already in chaos.

In terms of the overall situation, most of the battles were between the Olympians and the Otherworldly Invaders.

However, how many of the invaders who were able to set foot on this otherworldly battlefield were good at it.

Thus, when any one of the invaders was weakened for some reason, they would also become the best prey in the eyes of the rest of the surrounding invaders.

Therefore, each of the foreign invaders fought swiftly and secretly coveted the rest of the surrounding battlefields.

Should any of the invaders make a mistake or carelessly fall into the arcane fire, they would attract countless bloody hunters. The resulting battle that erupted was even crazier and more violent than the earlier attacks!

Above this colorful battlefield, Grim saw calamitous creatures of strange size and fierce combat, powerful star beasts of strange shapes, distinctly different from the creatures of the bit, believers of gods from the world of gods, sinister witches and demons from the 'Pan-Universe Witch and Demon Grand Alliance', and elemental lords from the elemental realm. Seeing the sea people, the subspace creatures, the underground people, the alchemists....

These invaders from all directions, in turn, summoned beasts and ferocious birds, living demons, alchemical creations, magical creations, or elemental creatures when they fought....

Throughout the floating city that was slowly falling, strange forms and races of otherworldly creatures could be seen everywhere; they belonged to different camps and fiercely sparred together, and it had become difficult to tell which of the otherworldly powers they specifically belonged to summon.

The Witch Demon Kangenas opened a necromantic channel and summoned a whole army of necromantic spirits from his skeletal plane, rampaging through the floating city; those toe-curling elemental lords were not to be outdone either, opening an elemental gate and rushing out a massive amount of elemental creatures from it....

With these two otherworldly bigwigs gagging here, other other otherworldly powerhouses could only take a regretful detour even if they were greedy for them. Otherwise, once they fell into the siege of the opponent's army, they would have to shed their skin if they didn't die!

Many more otherworldly powerhouses were mixed in this chaotic battlefield, looking around for tasty prey.

Grim and the other three were among them.

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

Floating City.

Above the ruins of the Olympic Hall.

This place had now become the main battlefield, and it was that Evil Hoof and a green-robed woman with a golden ring on her head that were facing off here.

This place was once the majestic and magnificent Hall of Arcane Arts, and the absolute core of this Floating Sky City.

Unfortunately, the aftermath of the battle between the two top powerhouses had completely destroyed this place. All of the arcane buildings had been reduced to ruins, and all of the middle and low level arcane masters had become battle rituals, the only thing left were four strange stone pillars that were thirty meters tall and two meters thick.

They were arranged squarely in the four corners of an arcane altar, supporting a translucent elemental light shield that blocked off the entire altar tightly. Even if the aftermath of the battle was fierce, it would not be able to spread to the altar by half.

Above the altar, a strange rune with a slight bright yellow luster was slowly rotating, the elemental rhythms on it clearly distinguishable, seemingly echoing each other somewhere in the distance.

On both sides of the battle, the Evil Hoof was standing on the earth, its four lower limbs locked firmly with the earth like four stone pillars, continuously extracting the power of the earth element beneath it.

Outside, a huge earth ball with a diameter of ten meters enveloped it, blocking all attacks from the opposite side of the radical*.

The earth ball mended as it broke, and with the support of Evil Hoof's powerful earth element, there was no risk of it being breached by the enemy.

In addition to defending, Evil Hoof also summoned a thick Earth Elemental Spear, which blasted at the green-robed woman standing proudly on the altar. As soon as the earth elemental spear touched the elemental barrier around the altar, it turned into a rain of countless debris and smashed into the opposite side, erupting into a loud, earth-shaking explosion.

Each round of the Evil Hoof's attack was so earth-shattering that it would set off a huge yellow dust pillar in place and knock the elemental barrier into ripples.

The green-robed woman was naturally not weak either, with two half-human-sized arcane crystals suspended around her body. With the flick of her fingers, the crystals burst out with blindingly violent lightning, splitting the earth ball outside the evil hoof's periphery and sending debris flying, dirt and grass splashing.

Behind the evil hoof's neck, a large chunk of charred skin could be vaguely seen, as if it had been wounded in the other hand.

Grim, with Holly and the Mangus siblings, paused in the distance, staring at the battlefield from afar.

Although they were also at the 4th tier, and what these two terrifying guys on the main battlefield were driving was also a 4th tier power, but people deserved to die and goods to be thrown. The tiers of both sides were clearly not on the same level!

Within Grim's elemental vision, the energy intensity within the main battlefield space environment was already as high as two thousand degrees. And this was only the energy reaction triggered by the overflowing power aftermath of the opponent, if one directly probed the power of the two combat powerhouses' attacks, the energy level of each of their strikes was above five thousand degrees.

Five thousand degrees....

An attack of this intensity that hit any one of the three Grim would probably just spike it!

And after observing the battle between the two, Grim had to marvel at how simple the battles between the over-ranked powerhouses really were. The attacks of both sides were so simple and direct, almost never seeing fancy oversized spells.

That evil hoof flipping around was an earth ball defense and an earth spear attack, the lethality was amazing, but the attack patterns were rather monotonous and boring. On the other hand, the green-robed woman with two arcane crystals floating around her body repeatedly tested out various elemental attacks before finally choosing the electrical arcane spell that had the most destructive effect on the evil hoof and began bombarding it wildly.

It wasn't that the two of them didn't have more fancy, more flashy, wide-ranging attack spells, but they knew full well that overly scattered power wasn't even half a threat to the opponent, and that only super-concentrated power could actually cause some damage to the enemy.

Therefore, the attack and defense methods they chose were quite simple and straightforward.

It was just that the intensity of the energy infused within it was clearly terrifyingly high!

Combat techniques, fighting techniques, spell-casting techniques... these combat elements that were quite popular and revered among middle and low level professionals were completely crushed by the terrifyingly strong spell intensity of their super-tier powerhouses.

It didn't matter what style of fighting you were, a small fire with an energy intensity of five thousand degrees thrown at you would be too much for you to bear.

What dodging an opponent's attack with your body style, what using ultra-high agility to find a gap and advance....

You know, when it came down to it, with so many otherworldly powerhouses in the field, it was rare to see one that could approach their kind of tier in terms of individual body base data. Not to mention surpassing them, thus creating a slightly more stable battlefield advantage!

If Grim rashly intervened in such a transcendental battlefield, I'm afraid that even survival would be a great problem, and how could he force his opponent to reveal his weaknesses, thus gaining himself a slight chance to win?

That green-robed woman was clearly the 5-Ring Grand Orb in control of this Floating City, and it wasn't surprising that she possessed such a powerful power. The other calamity small lord, Evil Hoof, hadn't seen such powerful power the last time he fought Grim and the others. Now, it had shifted and become so fierce and terrifying that it could even fight a 5-Ring Grand Arcane Master inch by inch head on.

On its body, Grim clearly perceived a hint of power that was different from before.

It seemed that the 6th rank Auror Lord behind the Evil Hoof must have projected some of its power, otherwise, the Evil Hoof wouldn't have become so powerful!

After all, it was the 6th rank, and even though it was still using this body and manipulating the earth element after covering the consciousness of the Evil Hoof, it was able to increase its battle power by several times, displaying a whole new concept of battle.

This... might be what made the Transcendent Tier powerful!

Sneaking a peek at the battle of the overclass powerhouses, Grim and the other three quietly concealed their scents.

On the outskirts of this transcendent battlefield, there were a few equally odd and powerful soul scents hiding, seemingly peeking at the main battlefield just like them.

On the other side of the battlefield, there seemed to be a group of Gods' devotees fighting that Witch Demon Kanganus, and the fight was also heated with energy shockwaves.

Through the energy coming from the battlefield remotely, Grim faintly detected a hint of strange fluctuations that only a 'Divine Artifact' could possess.

So-called artifacts were actually 5th-rank items or magical weapons!

The Shadow Jewel in Grim's hands could also be considered an auxiliary type of 'artifact'.

And Alice, as the new Fate Witch's leader, had even more artifacts in her hands. The Scepter of Prophecy was broken and sealed, so it was considered a semi-artifact. Other than that, Alice also had four Fate Witch artifacts, the Fate Card, the Hourglass of Time, the Witch's Mask, and the Mercury Belt, all of which were powerful artifacts worthy of the artifact level.

And they were the exclusive equipment of the Fate Witch!

This was the most fundamental reason why she was able to level with a group of 4th rank witch bigwigs with a District 3 body!

It was because he had dealt with so many 'artifacts' that Grim was so sensitive to that unique scent of their rules.

After weighing the situation briefly, Grim wasn't confident that he would find a half-hearted advantage in this main battlefield with the wolves surrounding him. Therefore, he whispered a greeting to his two companions and quietly dived to another battlefield.

Three miles away, in front of an arcane ruin, the Witch Demon Kangenas was commanding a large number of legions of dead spirits that were madly besieging a group of Gods' followers.

The group of followers of the gods consisted of three diviners and five church knights, with a pure and odd aura that belonged to a very different power system than that of a sorcerer.

Grim lurked closer and surreptitiously scanned their bodies and power fluctuations, and the feedback the chip got made him chant a bit.
