Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 157: The Broken World Stone, the Coordinates of the Disaster
Ancient power?!
Is it referring to the rune growing out of his palm, called [Ancient Power]?

Behind this [Ancient Power], there are two small words marked as (Primary).

Yes, perhaps it was because the black rune twisted like a tadpole on the palm of his hand was incomplete, as if it was a stroke he had just started to write when engraving the rune.

Ronan was dazed and stunned for a moment.

Runes growing out of the body... He had never heard of such a thing, not even in the most bizarre and fantastic wizard books.

What's even more incredible is that this method is achieved by having people practice a body-building technique.

Ronan felt that he had to re-examine the origin and value of the [Austerity Body Tempering] technique.

All along, he only practiced [Austerity Body Tempering] as a pure body-building technique. [Austerity Body Tempering] did not contain any means of combat attack, and "Giant Demon Transformation" was just a technique he figured out by himself.

However, when the rune of [Ancient Power] on the palm of his hand broke out of the ground, Ronan suddenly realized that perhaps [Austerity Body Tempering] was originally a method of warfare.

All the efforts he made in strengthening his body were to make his body able to withstand the coming of this [Ancient Power] one day! !
"hiss--"

Ronan took a deep breath and raised his arms. Mysterious and ancient energy flowed around his body, and the void around him became thick and twisted.

He was like a bow with the string pulled to its full length. The power of the bowstring had accumulated to an incredible and extremely terrifying level.

Finally, a punch was thrown.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang from the muffled thunder, and a thick black light flashed on Ronan's fist. A collapsed "black hole" appeared directly where the fist landed.

Immediately afterwards, the power that was compressed to the extreme exploded completely, creating a bright vacuum track visible to the naked eye in the air, which extended forward at a high speed like a meteor and instantly hit the ice crystal snake not far away.

The ice crystal demon snake was more than fifty meters long and four meters thick, with a body that could almost wrap around a small mountain. A ball of ice crystal fragments mixed with bright red blood exploded at the head of the snake, and then the entire huge snake body was thrown backwards uncontrollably, flying hundreds of meters away.

"Boom!"

The Ice Crystal Demon Snake landed on the ground, clearing a large flat area in the dense primeval forest, and rolled over in a very miserable state, followed by wailing and roaring sounds.

Ronan breathed heavily, feeling a sense of exhaustion that he had not felt for who knows how long.

The power of this punch was far beyond his imagination, but the consumption was also unprecedented.

He immediately came out of the "half-demon" state, and half of the vitality light ball in his body was directly consumed.

He raised his hands which seemed to be still trembling slightly and checked his palms. The two runes representing [Ancient Power] on the palms had disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

"And this is only the primary level of [Ancient Power]."

The runes of [Ancient Power] are incomplete.

Ronan couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying power the intermediate, advanced, or even complete [Ancient Power] would be able to exert.

At this moment, Ronan couldn't help but feel a lot of joy and anticipation in his heart.

The mainstream idea in the wizarding world is to pursue the immortality of the soul, and the physical body has always been looked down upon and even despised.

Because of the [Austere Body Training], Ronan has never given up on his physical training.

Now that the [Ancient Power] has appeared, it seems that all his previous persistence and hard work have paid off. He truly sees the hope that his hard work in cultivating the physical body can compete with the orthodox ways of wizards.

No, it is not accurate to describe it as competing with each other, it should be said that they are running neck and neck.

Because Ronan didn't want to give up any of his paths of practice, he pursued both paths simultaneously.

“Perhaps this is a new path opened up by a group of wizards in ancient times who delved into exploring the potential of the physical body.

Being able to pass down the runes hidden in the skills is like a seed buried in the soil that takes root and sprouts little by little. This method is truly amazing."

This level of attainment in runes was completely beyond Ronan's understanding.

A technique that would be rejected even in the secular world and is considered to be a crude method of "ascetic monks", but the real founder behind it is very likely to be one or more earth-shaking ancient powerful wizards.

Such a contrast is really amazing.

Ronan sighed, slowly calming down the exhaustion in his body.

His face regained its composure, his eyes locked onto the Ice Crystal Demon Snake, and he controlled the flying ring to move closer.

The moment he threw a punch containing [Ancient Power], his battle with the Ice Crystal Snake was declared over.

The Ice Crystal Demon Snake, which had suffered a direct punch from [Ancient Power], was seriously injured. A large piece of snake scales on the forehead of its huge snake head was almost completely shattered, and its skull was sunken. Even the ice crystal horn, which was more than one meter long, looked dull.

Seeing Ronan approaching, the Ice Crystal Demon Snake barely supported its body and crawled up from the ground, still facing him with a defiant attitude, but in the look in Ronan's eyes, there was inevitably a hint of fear and horror.

I guess with its naive little snake head, it just couldn't understand why such a thin and tiny human body in front of it could erupt with such terrifying power that surpasses its cognition again and again?
“This is a great start.”

Ronan caught the flash of fear in the eyes of the Ice Crystal Snake.

It's good to have fear.

The fear accumulates little by little, and when it exceeds the rebelliousness and arrogance in its bones, that will be the day when Ronan truly tames it.

In a sense, signing the "Posilina's Betting Agreement" is a good thing for both Ronan and the Ice Crystal Snake.

There is always something chasing Ronan from behind, and he will not slacken his pace forward. The Ice Crystal Snake, on the other hand, always has a goal to chase and surpass, and its growth rate will far exceed that of its fellow species.

“It’s a shame you didn’t take this opportunity.”

Ronan walked to the ice crystal snake and stretched out his five fingers towards the broken wound. Thin and sharp silver metal wires shot out from Ronan's fingertips and pierced deeply into the flesh of the ice crystal snake.

"Next time I give you a chance to challenge myself, it won't be so easy.
Every time you challenge me, you must be prepared to pay the price if you fail."

Having its blood essence drained away once again, the Ice Crystal Demon Snake roared in pain but did not resist.

It looked deeply at Ronan, and the resentment and obsession in its eyes seemed to be even deeper.

Ronan looked at it without hesitation and said calmly: "If you are willing to formally recognize me as your master, I promise to purify your bloodline so that you can further return to your ancestral roots."

As Ronan said this, the Ice Crystal Snake's eyes froze for a moment, and then some hesitation, entanglement and struggle began to flash in them.

Ronan was too lazy to care about it anymore, so he took the blood and turned away. The Ice Crystal Demon Snake knew about the existence of the Holy Blood Tree, and Ronan deliberately used this as a bargaining chip to lure it, psychologically disintegrating it, and combining it with repeated physical suppression. I think the day when the Ice Crystal Demon Snake completely surrenders will not be too far away.

After dealing with the matter with the Ice Crystal Serpent, Ronan was planning to go back to Beniggo to take a look.

Suddenly, the vibration of the communication stone came from the space ring.

Ronan took it out and checked, and found that the message came from Kirsty.

His eyes suddenly flashed, and after reading the information in the communication stone, he immediately turned around and hurried to the magic ring.

Kosti summoned him, and the exploration of the first battlefield of the Mirror Garden was over.

"I learned about your achievements from the Third Ring Master Caroni, Damien. You are much better than I expected."

With her long curly hair falling smoothly onto the carpet and her temperament like the bright moon in the starry sky, Kirsty sat in the middle of a huge bookshelf surrounded on three sides, looking at Ronan with a rather complicated and gratified look.

Ronan read in Kirsty's eyes not only admiration, but also some surprise and expectation that he could not understand.

"It seems that your bloodline has been further stimulated and can suppress the bloodline of the Sakirs family of Molten Crystal Lake."

Kosti paused here, and then warned Ronan sternly, "From now on, never easily provide your bloodline to others for research, no matter how high the price they pay."

Ronan nodded. After listening to Kirsty's instructions, the other party finally changed the subject to something that interested him.

"This exploration of the first core area went more smoothly than expected. We obtained two Dawn-level magic tools."

Two Dawn-class magical instruments? !

Ronan was surprised.

A silver staff of the Dawn rank appeared in the second battlefield. I didn’t expect that two of them appeared in the first battlefield at once. It really deserves to be the most core area.

Seeing Ronan's surprise, Costi said with a wry smile, "In fact, we excavated far more than two pieces, but we only got two of them, and the rest were all escaped.

Magical tools that have developed their own spiritual consciousness are difficult to tame, let alone the space and mirror-type magical tools that are best at escaping.

To be honest, it was a pleasant surprise to finally get two."

Ronan couldn't help but ask, "Did you finally catch the Dawn-class magical tool that was excavated from the second battlefield?"

"not at all."

Kirsty shook her head, and Ronan felt a little relieved.

At this time, he heard Costi say: "In addition to this, we also found a complete space mirror spell inheritance, and a broken world stone!"

When Ronan heard the words "complete space mirror spell inheritance", his heart skipped a beat.

The Ancient Mirror Court took away most of the inherited knowledge when they left. Before this, no complete spell inheritance had ever flowed out of the Mirror Court. If his understanding was correct, this should be the first case so far.

It is also the only window for wizards in the entire south to peek into the mysteries of ancient space and mirror magic.

Before Ronan felt his heart beat, his expression showed an indescribable weirdness and strangeness.

When Costi said the word "World Stone", Ronan clearly felt a certain mark on the back of his right hand jump slightly.

Ronan hesitated for a moment, then told Costi everything about how he accidentally found a mark in the waste liquid tank of a wizard laboratory in the second battlefield.

Kirsty asked him to stretch out his hand, and after carefully examining the mark on the back of Ronan's hand, she came to the conclusion that - "Damien, this in your hand is the coordinates of a Worldstone."

Ronan was stunned when he heard the answer.

Kosti began to teach him about the knowledge about "World Stone".

“..This world is not as simple as it seems.

In addition to the world we live in now, there are many independent worlds.

The World Stone is the bridge connecting the two worlds and the key to open another world space."

Costi raised her hand and rubbed out two light balls of different colors, like bubbles. She lightly touched the two light balls with her fingers, and light was generated, connecting the two light balls.

“But the way the World Stone opens the channel to another world is random, because any world other than this world is completely strange and unknown to wizards.

No one knows what kind of world will be waiting behind the door when the key turns and the passage opens.

This process is full of risks. You may get a treasure with unlimited resources, or you may face endless disasters."

“As the successor of space magic, it is not surprising that the Mirror Court began researching world stones and conducting experiments in exploring otherworldly spaces early on.

Judging from the words "taboo" and "failure" you got in the laboratory, as well as the broken and ultimately abandoned World Stone, I guess that after the Ancient Mirror Court opened the door to the other world, it should not be a good experience.
This may be the reason why the Mirror Garden moved away in a hurry."

Costi's expression became serious, his eyes flashing quickly as he said, "For a world as powerful as the Ancient Mirror Court to be forced to abandon its home and destroy its gate, the disaster behind that gate may be beyond everyone's imagination.

The information you provided is so important, Damien. Those people are still thinking about how to repair the World Stone as soon as possible.
I need to inform you of this as soon as possible.”

Costi talked to herself hurriedly for a while, and finally her eyes fell on the back of Ronan's hand, and she said, "What you got should be the spatial coordinates of the unknown disaster world, but you don't have to be nervous. Without the world stone, the coordinates are just coordinates and will not have any effect on you.
Don't worry about it, maybe it will go away on its own over time."

“By the way, don’t tell anyone about this coordinate.

There are some people in this world whose madness and ambition are beyond your imagination.

Seeing that Kirsty looked serious, Ronan nodded solemnly.

He looked down at the back of his right hand, and saw a strange mark like an arrow faintly visible under the skin.

It’s hard to imagine that this is half the key to unlocking an unknown world.

This kind of thing seems a little far away for him now.

He lowered his hand and hid the back of his hand under his wide robe.

At this time, Kirsty began to tell him something else.
