Chapter 573 - 552: An Unprecedented Path of Legend (Part 2)
"Goodbye, Elf King."
After a quick farewell,
Li Wei and Saint Xi stepped into the spatial rift and vanished.
The Elf King looked up at the sky, a faint glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
’I hope they can succeed.’
Far away, on the other side of the world, the Beast King lifted his head slightly, gazing at the sky outside his palace.
He seemed to have sensed something.
’Have they set off?’
’Even if the hope is faint, I wish you can bring a sliver of it to this world.’
WHOOSH!
Li Wei and Saint Xi emerged from the spatial rift.
Looking back, the vast and boundless Elf Forest was now over a dozen *li* behind them.
He had left the Elf Forest.
A hundred *li* ahead lay the lands of humans.
They didn’t even need to travel a hundred *li*. After just twenty or thirty, Li Wei and Saint Xi spotted a small military fortress town.
The two did not linger. Following Saint Xi’s guidance, they hurried toward the location of the final fragment.
Along the way, whenever he had a spare moment, Li Wei would unleash Elemental Fission.
BOOM!
A small Fireball flew a hundred meters before suddenly detonating, transforming into a Super Fireball over fifty meters in diameter.
When the flames died down, a scorched crater was left on the ground.
Li Wei casually cast a Water Magic spell, summoning a shower of rain to extinguish the lingering flames on the ground.
He didn’t want to start a forest fire.
The amplifying effect of Elemental Fission on Magic was beyond his imagination.
Li Wei had never used Elemental Fission on ordinary Magic spells before.
Most of the time, he reserved it for his ultimate move, the Meteor Fireball Technique.
Based on the characteristics of Elemental Fission, he had also developed a new ultimate move: the Big Sun Nuclear Explosion Technique.
Li Wei watched the drizzling raindrops.
A flash of inspiration struck him.
’Could Elemental Fission be used on other types of Elemental Magic?’
So, Li Wei began experimenting, trying to augment various kinds of Elemental Magic with Elemental Fission.
He eventually discovered that Elemental Fission was not suitable for other spells.
Even among Fire Element Magic, only explosion-related spells were compatible with Elemental Fission.
Elemental Fission converted Magic Elements into their purest form of energy and released them.
In this process, no matter how exquisite the spell’s structure, it would be violently destroyed.
With the spell structure destroyed, the spell’s function naturally couldn’t be released.
In the end, any spell would just turn into an explosion spell.
The only difference would be the Elemental Attribute of the exploding Magic Elements.
"Light Burst Skill!"
BOOM!
Countless Light Elements detonated, turning into a massive flashbang that blinded all creatures within a hundred meters.
Li Wei slowly turned around.
’While Light Magic isn’t very suitable for augmentation with Elemental Fission, it can produce astonishing effects against specific enemies when enhanced.’
The Light Burst Skill just now was, in fact, the Lighting Skill with the Elemental Fission effect added.
The Lighting Skill merely creates a stable orb of light that emits a steady glow.
Augmented by Elemental Fission, the orb of light instantly became a super flashbang.
Not only could it blind a wide range of enemies, but it was also extremely lethal to Dark Creatures, which were vulnerable to Light Magic.
Li Wei invented the Light Burst Skill because he thought of the Zor Elves.
The Zor Elves are a Dark Race from the Underworld.
They had appeared in the Elf Forest.
This meant that the Dark Races of the Underworld had begun to invade the Main World.
Li Wei was preparing in advance for a confrontation with Dark Creatures.
After cleaning up the traces left by the Light Burst Skill, Li Wei flew over to Saint Xi. "Let’s go."
Saint Xi rose and flew into the sky.
She was already used to it.
’She didn’t know what was wrong with Li Wei.’
’Ever since they left the Elf Forest, he had been looking for deserted places to cast all sorts of Magic spells.’
’Every time he cast a spell, it would cause a huge commotion.’
Over time, Saint Xi had simply gotten used to it.
Li Wei followed Saint Xi, Flying alongside her.
Saint Xi did not reveal her Giant Dragon form.
This was the territory of the Human Empire, and transforming into a Giant Dragon would easily attract attention.
Li Wei didn’t want any trouble.
He asked, "How much farther?"
Saint Xi replied helplessly, "The feeling has barely changed."
"Huh? It’s that far?"
Li Wei frowned.
Saint Xi thought for a moment and said, "Although I don’t know the exact location, a sea seems to have appeared in my memories."
Li Wei focused his thoughts. ’The sea?’
He took out a world map from his Spatial Ring.
He had purchased this world map from the Mage Association in a human city he’d recently visited.
After he revealed his identity as a Grand Mage, the Mage Association was very cooperative, selling Li Wei the only complete world map they had in their possession.
It wasn’t that the map was particularly precious.
It was just that no one ever bought one.
The Mage Association was just taking the opportunity to do Li Wei a favor.
Originally, the Mage Association had intended to give it to Li Wei for free.
But Li Wei didn’t want to owe anyone, so he paid for it.
It wasn’t like he was short on money.
He still hadn’t used up all the Magic Stones that the wealthy Alice had given him.
What’s more, when Li Wei left Fred City,
another wealthy woman, Gu Sewei, had given him many fine things from the Ice Queen’s treasury.
She was worried Li Wei would be short on money and suffer hardships while he was away.
Now, Li Wei wouldn’t dare say his wealth could rival a nation,
but rivaling a city was no problem at all.
He had more than enough to buy an entire city.
Li Wei glanced at the map, locating a human city they had passed earlier.
He confirmed his position and, following the direction Saint Xi indicated, found the ocean on the world map.
’The Endless Sea?’
A look of surprise appeared on Li Wei’s face.
On the world map, the only ocean ahead of them was the Endless Sea.
The Endless Sea was a vast region.
The waters near the Celestial Vault Continent were divided into multiple zones.
Some of these waters were within the Human Empire’s control.
Others were occupied by Ocean Alien Races.
He just didn’t know which stretch of sea was the one from Saint Xi’s memory.
Rationally, Li Wei did not want to venture deep into the Endless Sea.
The Endless Sea was fraught with danger.
Even Legendary Powerhouses risked falling there.
To this day, the areas explored by humanity were merely the tip of the iceberg of the vast Endless Sea.
The Sea Abyss, suppressed by the Space Tower, was just one of the forbidden death zones within the Endless Sea.
Rumor had it that an Evil God lurked in the depths of the Endless Sea.
This was a genuine Evil God of the material world.
Not one of those outer-world Evil Gods who existed beyond the world, relying on the sacrifices of believers to manifest a tiny bit of Power to interfere with the Main World.
Li Wei had come face-to-face with an Evil God once before.
The memory still filled him with lingering fear.
’Forget it. I’ll take it one step at a time. No use overthinking it.’
Li Wei shook the distracting thoughts from his mind and put away the map.
Now that they knew their destination was the Endless Sea,
Li Wei and Saint Xi quickened their pace.
They wasted no more time on the road.
Once they reached the Endless Sea, there would be plenty of wide-open space for Li Wei to practice his Magic.
HUMMM!
In a human city, a figure completely shrouded in a black robe stepped out of a Teleportation Gate.
His nose twitched as he caught the nearly imperceptible scent of a Giant Dragon in the air.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly beneath his hood.
’Finally caught up to you.’
’I never thought you could run so far, all the way from the Northern Territory to here.’
The black-robed man sensed the direction the scent was heading.
His figure vanished on the spot.
’Hm? What’s this?’
The black-robed man appeared at the edge of a huge explosion crater.
He crouched down, his hand touching the scorched ground.
’Why is there a Trace of Magic here?’
’Did they run into an enemy?’
’It’s just as the intelligence suggested. The Giant Dragon is accompanied by a Human Mage.’
’A Human Mage is nothing to worry about. Even a Tier Six Great Mage poses no threat.’
’The key is the Giant Dragon... If it’s a Legendary Giant Dragon, this might take some effort.’
The black-robed man slowly rose and vanished on the spot.
Not even a footprint was left behind.
Like a phantom, he came and went without a trace.
The black-robed man followed the scent left by Saint Xi.
Along the way, he discovered numerous traces left behind by Li Wei’s Casting.
Seeing them, the black-robed man grew very puzzled.
He couldn’t help but feel a flicker of curiosity about the Human Mage accompanying the Giant Dragon.
’What in the world is this Mage doing?’
’Hm, the scent gets fainter from here. They’ve sped up.’
The black-robed man glanced back, noticing that their direction of travel was very clear—a straight line dead ahead.
Although he didn’t know where the two were going,
the black-robed man already had an idea.
Stepping into the Teleportation Array of the nearest city, the black-robed man teleported far away.
