Age of Adepts

Even Grim couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the figure of Sinai's bilocation disappear from the bit rift.

Even though the other party had been designed by him to attract him, the other party's terrifying power was clearly beyond the limits of his imagination. His thinking was still stuck in the realm of bit creatures, so naturally, he couldn't imagine and estimate what kind of form a higher life should be in.

The brief contact with the Sinai bilocation just now, however, made him come to a sudden realization.

Compared to a sorcerer, a deity's understanding and control of rules was more profound and closer to the origin. Only, the deities divided the rules into different domains and grouped them into a single priesthood.

Priesthoods were to deities what they were to rules!

The deity also placed all of its power in the Priesthood, using the Priesthood to condense the Divine Grid, which was then used to transform the faithful's power of faith into a power that could be used. The divine power was imbued with the power of the priesthood, and also represented the original will of the bit world.

At this point, the path of power between the Rule Wizard and the Deity was actually somewhat similar. It was just that the true power of the deities was borrowed rather than gathered little by little by themselves, so their true power would diminish a lot when they left the Kingdom of God and the origin of the bitworld.

It was no wonder that many great sorcerers looked down on deities, even calling them parasites on the origin bit rule system. Everything about them was tied up with the origin plane, and if something happened to the origin plane, they wouldn't be able to survive.

That was the fundamental reason why the Gods World always blocked any outside forces from entering their origin plane!

Shamans, on the other hand, were more like imitators of the rules of the bitmain world. They observe, study and comprehend the operation system of the rules of the world, and look for a kind of rule power that is most in line with the origin of their soul.

Then, they trace the origin of the rules from the end of the rule chain upwards to investigate the operation of the upper level rule power, so that the power they control is getting closer and closer to the core of the origin of the bit face.

If you think of the place plane world as a big, pale tree, what the shamans mastered at the very beginning was just a leaf or two at the very end. With the leaves, in following the veins of the tree to find the branches; and then from the branches step by step extending to the branches, branches, and the main trunk....

Ultimately, the source of all rule shamans' power is always directed to the vast roots that lie deep within the earth.

Even if a shaman were to spend his entire life, he would only be able to grasp a small portion of this vast system of roots. With these sources of life in their hands, rule shamans can draw a steady stream of power from them, making them stronger step by step.

This might be the powerful path that the rule shamans had chosen for themselves!

In an instant of electric light, with the lingering and dense rules atmosphere around him and the chip's analysis of that Sinai billet's power, Grim instantly understood and projected his future path forward, as well as having a general understanding of the ins and outs of rules power.

At his level, external resources and knowledge needs were only a foundation, but what truly determined his future potential was the height and depth of his thoughts.

Heart-onlyism....

In past Earths this may have been a dross, but in the otherworldly world filled with magical energy, spiritual consciousness instead overrode material supremacy and became a dominant and decisively powerful force.

........

However, just as Grim was about to slowly extrapolate along this line of thought, the bit of rift that was floating in the thousands of beautiful bands of light suddenly gurgled and took on a new dimension.

Hmm? That Sinai billet just got knocked out of the Wizarding World, and what, it's trying to get back in?

Grim fixed his eyes on it and began to rapidly gather his strength.

As expected, that Sinai Split's hideous and ferocious flaming head was revealed again as the bit crack stabbed open a large opening.

However, this time, it wasn't so stupid as to get in on its own, but opened its mouth wide and spewed out a stream of red-hot high-temperature flames.

The high-temperature flame stream surged into the inner part of the surface, but instead of sweeping in all directions and annihilating all life like before, it hovered and lingered around the crack, gathering into a monstrous sea of fire. When the flame energy reached a certain level, a golden crystal the size of a finger spat out of Sinai's parted mouth and entered the Wizard World.

As soon as this golden crystal entered the interior of the bit, the flame energies scattered around the perimeter of the rift quickly coalesced together like they had a backbone.

Without a moment's notice, a flame giant that was seven or eight times similar to the Sinai split just now, with a body size of ten meters, rose from the ground and began to slowly sweep the completely unfamiliar world.

Looking at its power and form, this new Flame Giant seemed to be a powerful flame creature at the peak level of the 4th stage. It was just that the flame energy imbibed in its body was probably only as high as those 5th stage flame creatures, only stronger than weak.

Flame divine Fragment....

That golden crystal was a fragment of the Flame Godhead!

Only a divine object such as the Flame Grid Fragment could become the consciousness carrier of the Sinai Splitter and freely control the flame laws within the bit.

At the same time, Anri, Gloria and Krsuna who saw this scene, their eyes lit up with a cold and sinister coldness, and their hearts couldn't help but beat wildly with thud.

The so-called Divine Grid was naturally the base of power that the deities relied on the most. Only if the gathered divine grid was strong enough could they leap into a higher-ranked deity.

If the rule crystals that Grim had acquired earlier were still just fragments of some sort of rule power, then the divine Grid was the rule essence that encompassed a complete power system.

Don't look at the fact that it had been split into finger-sized fragments, as long as it was still a divine Grid, the power within it would always be complete and hardened. And once such a fragment of the divine Grid fell into the hands of a sorcerer, the effect it exerted was simply like turning a stone into gold.

It might be unlikely that such a small fragment of a divine Grid could turn a mortal into a deity, but sending a peak 4th stage, in a critical state sorcerer into the 5th stage was not the least bit problematic. Just considering the origin attribute inside the Flame Divine Grid, it seemed that the only one among the sorcerers present who could make use of it was Grim.

The moment they saw the fragment of the Flame Grid appear, for some reason, several of the super-powered people present were moved, and they had a vague feeling that this was what Grim had been working so hard for.

He wanted to plot to seize the Fire God Sinai's divine Grid? Did he have the strength to fight such a terrifying Vulcan billet? He's not going to borrow our power again, is he?

Just as the crowd's minds were turning and their mental fluctuations were crisscrossing, that top-height, thousand-meter tall Grim finally moved.

Amidst an earth-shattering laughter, Grim's tall body crumbled and reverted into a stream of pure and hardened flame energy, which turned into a terrifying stream of flames that rushed towards the flame giant that had just condensed its body.

The flame projection that was still in the bit law chain bondage couldn't hide, and simply swallowed all these incoming flames with a large mouth.

Just like Sinai's flames couldn't damage Grim's body, Grim's incarnated flames obviously couldn't damage this flame projection either. As long as it was given enough time, even ten Grim could be digested even if they were swallowed by it.

After all, this flame projection contained a fragment of the Flame Grimoire that could quench and transform any flame energy!

However, it was not that easy for the flame energy imbued with Grim's spiritual will to be instantly devoured clean. It must be known that Grim's current power level was not weaker than this Sinai body, but he was far behind in energy reserves and flame manipulation techniques.

Faced with Grim's almost 'sending heads' like strange actions, this flame projection couldn't help but be puzzled as well. But the power sent to its door was not wanted for nothing, it still instinctively gulped down Grim's abundantly majestic flame energy.

Woodland, the flame energy that was imbued with Grim's spiritual will within its body began to riot restlessly. The flame projection sneered heedlessly and mobilized its power to start suppressing it forcefully.

Its power was already ten times greater than Grim's, and it wasn't at all worried that this little bit of fire would make a big commotion within its own abdomen. However, the restlessness inside its body undoubtedly distracted its power, causing it to temporarily lose control of this flaming body.

Just as it was proudly struggling to surround and annihilate Grim's spiritual will, the Flame Projection sensed something in Ug, and looked back abruptly with all its strength.

Behind it, a pair of huge dark green pupils were staring at it deadly.

Seeing the flame projection turn back, a slightly mocking smile appeared in the dark green pupils of the eyes, and then the large mouth opened, revealing a fanged maw that was even bigger and deeper than Sinai's parting body, and swallowed it into its stomach with a loud cry.

Devouring Demon Fish!

Grim's newly mastered Star Beast Transformation ability.

After transforming into a Devouring Demon Fish, Grim also instantly possessed a racial ability of devouring an original power no more than twice his own.

However, it was clear that this Flame Projection's ontological power that Grim was devouring today was far more than ten times his own. Therefore, after a burst of nausea and vomiting, Grim opened his mouth and vomited out most of the flame body from the huge and shallow stomach sac, before turning around and tearing through space and disappearing without a trace.

The remaining majority of the body lost control of the divine Grid Fragment and Sinai's divine soul, and immediately crumbled into an endless sea of fire that swept away in all directions.

The area around the newly stabilized Mo Yuan Valley was once again hit hard by the flaming energy!

And that Sinai billet that was standing silently outside the rift in the bit plane, controlling the flame projection with the divine frame fragment across the boundary, Woody let out an earth-shaking roar.

Just now... just now... that damned human sorcerer had turned into a strange star beast and devoured half of his own flame projection. What made him extremely furious was that the fragment of the Flame Grid was also taken away by him.

Having lost the original connection with the flame fragment, the 6th Sinai body, which was standing outside the barrier of the Sorcerer's World, immediately lost its breath and dropped several small steps in strength.

And the house was falling apart, just as it was furiously trying to charge into the Wizard World to fight that human wizard to the death, the Sinai billet stiffened and slowly turned its body back.

In the distant depths of the starry sea, the three-headed magical dog Dilmas was stepping into the air. The huge pupils of the six eyes on its three canine heads staring at its body revealed a hot and greedy evil gaze.

Both sides were of the 6th rank, although the energy inside the Sinai billet was even stronger. But as a Calamity Lord, Dilmas seemed to be better at fighting and fighting.

With two such people getting together, it was really unknown who would win or lose, who would live or die!

The Sinai billet could no longer hold back the rage in his chest, curling up a monstrous flame to fight with this ferocious Calamity Lord....
