A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Heart of Magic

If Black Phoenix can be said to be an external ally invited by the Cyclopean Giant, then Green is an ally’s ally.

The powerful exiles who truly discovered this relic are all scheming to break the seal near the relic. Over so many years, the seal has become quite loose. Plus, all ten top-tier experts found the sealing site, and even if it’s a Stigmata seal, with so many people joining forces, there won’t be too many problems breaking it.

In the ancient war, the discovery of any new Stigmata Relic signified the excavation of an ancient battlefield!

Sealed away for so many years, the dregs have long decayed, and the ancient demons sealed away have all perished. Undoubtedly, any sorcery instruments, materials, or even corpses that still maintain their function within the relic will be the finest of the fine.

Though the shining peak of ancient times can no longer be reproduced after being washed by the ages, even if only a portion of a top-tier Stigma Sorcerer’s world-class sorcery instrument’s power can be exerted, it will be enough to cause a dramatic change in lower lifeforms’ powers.

To prevent the news of this relic from leaking to the Abyssal Holy Tower, Black Phoenix has confined Green to her hall and forbade him from leaving, just awaiting the agreed time to travel to the sealing site.

In these ten years, Green naturally needed to make some good preparations.

As for Green’s basic physique now, although there is a huge gap compared to the talent and high physique threshold of a powerful Abyssal King like Agrimond, it’s already approaching the previous strength of Emperor Gan when challenging Agrimond, or at least when Youquan was still a Third-Level Wizard.

As Green’s physique rises, the once vague feeling of a body’s limit has become clearer and clearer, as if it was the ultimate essence limit of his body, the endpoint of his evolution as a human being.

Though there’s no end to the road of knowledge advancement, the withstand ability of one’s body does have an end!

Breaking through this limitation represents the rebirth of life endurance, a condition for a body to evolve into a World Master.

The physique cap for Green’s body evolution direction is merely above-average for humans, still with a considerable gap compared to the high threshold physique cap of Agrimond’s body.

If he cannot achieve Stigma Sorcerer, his body evolution direction already gradually reaches an end, and due to the Magic Backlash, he lost his magic, so naturally, regaining magic became Green’s goal.

However...

Due to the Magic Backlash from the Sealing Skill failure, Green is unable to resonate with and control magic power, so he can’t store magic power within himself. Even with Demon-Hunting Armor’s magic replenishment, for Green, it only allows him to barely cast the Fireball Technique again and again, offering no real aid in enhancing combat power.

Green can’t summon a large amount of magic power to leverage rules and perform high-power witchcraft.

In hesitating contemplation, Green gritted his teeth, and a heartbeat-like throbbing green seed, the world tree seed given by the Spring Guardian, appeared in his hand!

Originally, according to Green’s plan, whether this world tree seed was planted in a World Fragment to guard his future lair for becoming a Stigma Sorcerer, or planted in a Wizard Academy as the frame for a Sorcerer’s Tower or an academy symbol, it was a good choice.

Yet now...

Green would use it as a one-time consumable to provide him a temporary effect akin to the Source of Magic Power from a Sorcerer’s Tower.

Undoubtedly, this was a tough choice for Green.

Should he choose to plant it for future assistance on his road to Stigmata, or consume it once for the long-term development of his Body Refining Sorcerer path during this pivotal moment of exploration to gain the ancient demon remains he desires?

Taking out a Black Crystal Ball, Green looked at his body information.

Spiritual Power: 300, Magic Power: 0~1.

Physique: 1577, Physical Strength: 1566~1953, Strength: 1330~3747, Vitality: 2284~2499.

In terms of pure physical strength attack, even if he activates the third-stage Wild Instinct Transformation into a Barbarian Giant, his self-assessment is only at the combat level of the present Black Phoenix, if not slightly inferior.

Unquestionably, among the powerful participants in this relic exploration, strong individuals of Black Phoenix’s level aren’t few!

If he could transform the immense vitality of this world tree seed into a temporary Source of Magic Power, then the abilities he could exert in a short time would be... those of a World Master!

Without Elemental Embodiment and True Time perception, the Annihilation Force is considered a high-class qualitative change energy that, compared to other high-class qualitative change energies, can leverage more superior rule mechanisms. At that time, Green’s Annihilation strike power could reach nearly forty thousand levels!

Even before a truly powerful World Master, such a Green may not be formidable, but it would indeed crush lower lifeforms, allowing control of the situation, decisively turning the tides at key moments.

After a long time, a cold gleam passed through Green’s eyes, indicating some decision was made as he rose to leave the room.

Moments later, Black Phoenix, holding the material list Green provided, frowned slightly and said, ”These are all high-grade materials. Some I don’t even have right now, and it will take time to gather them, as for the price...”

Gritting his teeth, Green took out all the wealth he had collected in decades as the King of the Pan Valley Abyss, scavenged wealth from the Goyou Chamber, and even what he traded for living supplies from the Gale Fox.

After assessing it, Black Phoenix said, ”These are high-quality materials, and you’re in such a hurry. I’ll need to use some portal methods, and it’s still not enough.”

Furrowing his brows, Green decisively took out an Ice Gyro, to which Black Phoenix smiled in satisfaction and nodded.

Three months later.

With all his experimental materials in hand, Green plunged headfirst into his laboratory and used a Magic Array to block all external perception, never showing himself again.

Black Phoenix came by several times, but without success, wondering and speculating about what Green was preparing.

Time flies, and years mean little to beings like Green and Black Phoenix.

Nine years later.

Nearing the very last moment before departure, utterly unable to store any more magic in this heart of magic, Green looked wistfully at the precious world tree seed and decided to consume it entirely as his heart of magic, heartbrokenly.

The World Tree is a renowned Endless Dominator within the Wizarding Alliance, and the value of a world tree seed is not something a wizard of Green’s level can evaluate, nor does he have the means to obtain it.

”Your Excellency the Shadow of Despair, we’re setting out tomorrow. Are you ready?”

Outside the door, Black Phoenix asked probing.

Sighing once on the Magic Altar, Green took up the heart of magic made from the world tree seed. Instantly, all the surrounding Magic Stones shattered, and the precious high-grade materials turned to dust, consumed in one go.

Even the Magic Altar itself cracked and shattered with a ”crack” sound.

Green placed the ”thud”, ”thud”, ”thud” incessantly beating heart of magic in his hand, his Metamorphosis Technique split an incision on his chest, revealing the organs within, and placed the heart of magic in. Immediately, it seemed Green had two hearts beating at once.

”Done!”

With a creaking sound, Green opened the room door. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please come to to vote for recommendations and month tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m..)
