The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 920 The Endless Labyrinth
"I've finally arrived?"

As Richard listened to the Buddha's words, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

Could it be that the Buddha foresaw this day many years ago?

Moreover, according to Deer-Headed Mokhang, after the Buddha attained enlightenment, he had a thousand faces, and people would only see the image they wanted to see.

Now that he has seen a Buddha in human form, isn't that...?

"Moko, calm down."

The Buddha looked at Richard, his voice calm and unhurried, like an old scholar in a classroom.

"You have come here to seek the secrets of supernatural powers. If you cannot calm your mind, all your efforts will be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Richard instinctively took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down.

Whether the Buddha before him was from one of the ten directions of Buddha lands or not was irrelevant to him at this moment. Even a level eight and a half being must adhere to basic principles; without the coordinates of this dimension, even a Buddha could not directly intervene to help him.

Seeing that Richard had calmed down, the Buddha then began to preach.

"Supernatural powers are the ultimate expression of techniques. All techniques, though varied, do not deviate from their fundamental principles. They may utilize appearances or manipulate rules. Even if a powerful being can create techniques that transcend dimensions, they are still ultimately just techniques..."

The Buddha's voice sounds unhurried and occasionally includes direct demonstrations, but it carries a sense of temporal dislocation.

Richard felt as if he had been listening to a sermon for a long time, but when he came to his senses, he found that only a moment had passed.

"Is this the true divine power of a level eight and a half being?"

Richard recalled the Buddha's teachings and felt a surge of awe.

Beings at level eight and a half can already stand still in the river of time, and naturally possess some power to manipulate time. This time is not an illusion caused by the influence of the soul, but a real change in time.

The Buddha's teachings were very simple and unadorned, without a single profound word.

But these simple words together reveal the ultimate mystery of supernatural powers.

In the simplest terms, so-called supernatural powers are the use of dimensional power to break through the original limitations of the rules of the material world, turning them into something akin to illusory rules.

To give a very simple example, a flame summoned by the fire elemental rules, without Richard's control, will burn anything that can be burned. However, if the flame is a supernatural power, then it might only burn trees or only burn soil.

In other words, supernatural powers are the ultimate version of divine speech; a sufficiently powerful ruler can make his words come true.

Through the Buddha's teachings, Richard had fully grasped the basic principles of supernatural powers.

What he needs to do now is to create a supernatural power.

The most important aspect of supernatural powers lies in the manipulation and application of dimensional power, and Richard happens to be quite skilled in this area.

Under Richard's control, the dimensional forces began to shift continuously, and the gravitational rules emanating from his body were constantly activated in the process.

In the distance, the stagnant shockwave of the jellyfish giant was already approaching.

If he fails, Richard will undoubtedly become a plaything of the jellyfish giant.

hum!
A loud buzzing sound rang out again within the repulsive field. But this time, the buzzing sound began to weaken slightly.

Around Richard, the repulsive field of dimensional forces was gradually expanding. With the introduction of the laws of gravity, the repulsive field created by these laws could be directly used against dimensional forces.

The stagnation shockwave from the jellyfish giant was completely blocked by the repulsive field.

"It's done."

Richard breathed a slight sigh of relief, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

Beside him, Deer-Headed Moko stared blankly at Richard, or more precisely, at Richard's forehead. On Richard's forehead, a golden lotus mark had appeared at some unknown time.

"He actually saw the Buddha?" Deer-Headed Moke thought in shock.

There has always been a saying in the Buddha lands of the ten directions that the Buddha is omnipresent, and that as long as the conditions are right, one can see the Buddha in everything.

Richard noticed the look in Mocha the Deer-Head's eyes, and then he noticed the lotus mark on his forehead.

Although the mark appeared on his body, its true location was in his soul. Richard could sense that the mark was merely a simple marker, just like the mark left on him by the person behind the tavern in the nightmare world.

"Master, your affinity with the Dharma is profound!" Deer-Headed Moke exclaimed in amazement.

Richard raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is the use of this mark?"

Deer-Headed Moke respectfully replied, "Those with the lotus seal on their spiritual altar are those whom the Buddha watches over. All beings in the ten directions of the Buddha lands should treat them with the utmost respect as honored guests."

Richard was taken aback, then nodded slightly. His eyes seemed to be looking at Deer-Headed Mok, yet also seemed to be looking away from Deer-Headed Mok.

"I have accepted the invitation. If I am fortunate enough to survive after this matter is resolved, I will definitely travel to the ten directions of the Buddha land."

With the supernatural power, the stagnant field of the jellyfish giant was no longer a threat.

However, a giant will naturally not rely on just one method.

Seeing that it could not freeze Richard, an extremely ethereal voice came from the jellyfish giant's body.

Under the influence of this sound, everything within the stagnant field shattered instantly. In that instant, Richard felt as if he had entered the void of endless dimensions, and everything around him was pitch black.

The shattered space and matter were manipulated and reassembled by the jellyfish giant. In just a moment, a distorted space, resembling a Möbius strip, enveloped Richard.

On the outer edge of this space, the shattered matter and spatial fragments combined to form a giant transparent sphere.

"Heh, that's quite a clever method."

Li looked at the Möbius strip space that enveloped him, without the slightest tension on his face.

If this giant continued to use force to suppress him, he might still be unable to escape. But for this giant to actually use tricks in front of him was a bit presumptuous. As a ruler who bore the weight of countless legacies, Richard only lacked raw power.

hum!
The dimensional power in Richard's hands transformed into a longsword. The force field blade formed by the laws of gravity on the longsword instantly sliced ​​through space and the outer barrier of matter.

The most significant characteristic of the law of gravity is its ability to interfere with everything; both space and matter must change in the face of the law of gravity.

In the dimension of stars, even time would be affected by gravity.

boom!
The outer perimeter of the Möbius strip shattered instantly, and Richard burst out from it like a streak of light.

In the distance, the jellyfish giant watched Richard tearing through space, and the light emanating from its body became somewhat chaotic.

It was clearly just a small creature with the strength of an ordinary ruler, yet it managed to escape from his grasp several times.

This stirred a long-dormant anger within the jellyfish giant.

woo-

A deep, guttural cry emanated from the jellyfish giant's body. In an instant, wherever the sound waves swept, everything was broken down into its most basic units. Even the whale overlord, which had been sealed away, was reduced to its most basic structure under this sonic wave.

"Has this guy gone mad?!"

Richard sensed the destructive sound approaching him and shuddered. Even he couldn't withstand an attack of that magnitude.

Even if he can withstand it, the sound waves will definitely not be just one round.

He must get into that maze as soon as possible.

boom!
Richard unleashed an energy surge, cleverly transforming the gravitational pull generated by the laws of gravity into a repulsive force propelling him into flight.

But that's still not quite enough.

As he watched the approaching sound of destruction, he gritted his teeth, and a tiny black hole appeared behind him.

The black hole's immense gravity acted like a bowstring under Richard's manipulation, and with the help of this gravity, Richard's speed soared once again.

At this moment, Richard's speed had soared to 20,000 times the speed of light.

Even the destructive power of the jellyfish giant couldn't keep up with this speed, and the jellyfish giant could only watch Richard leave.

boom!
The giant jellyfish's tentacles lashed out angrily, but objective facts cannot be changed by will.

Two hours later.

Li surveyed the valley before him, then looked again at the navigation arrows created by the ritual to confirm.

Seeing that the arrow was pointing towards the basin in front of him, Richard couldn't help but feel a sense of caution.

After two hours of high-speed flight, Richard had arrived at the location where the first Cursed Demon King had disappeared. If the ritual had not gone wrong, then this seemingly ordinary basin before him was the site of the labyrinth.

From the outside, this basin looks unremarkable. Apart from the bare interior, there is nothing special about it.

But in a world of ever-changing dimensions, a bare ground is the norm.

Richard opened his Eye of Truth, and under it, the basin remained unremarkable.

It was as if some force had obscured the true face of this basin.

Li examined the basin and shook his head slightly: "Strange, strange, strange. No matter how I look at it, there's nothing wrong with this place. No wonder that Cursed Demon King disappeared here back then."

Even his True Eye couldn't see the problem, so conventional detection methods naturally wouldn't uncover it either. If someone entered the maze without knowing the details or taking any precautions, they could indeed get lost.

After marveling at this, Richard took out his Book of Miracles from his pocket.

Having learned from the example of the first Cursed Demon King, Richard certainly needed to be well-prepared before entering this labyrinth.

Under the spell of the Miracle Codex, mysterious power rapidly gathered, and with the convergence of holy light, it transformed into an extremely simple rune.

This rune has no other use than to provide Richard with direction.

As long as this rune is placed outside, even if Richard gets lost inside, he can be guided out by this rune.

Before this, Yeyun Yefeng had conducted his first exploration using this method.

After concealing the runes, Richard reached the edge of the maze and cautiously took a step forward.

Ding--

A clear, crisp sound rang in Richard's mind.

The moment Richard entered the maze, the scenery before him changed instantly; the once empty basin transformed into a constantly shifting mirrored passage.

Richard stepped back, and the scene before him returned to its unremarkable state as a basin.

"If you don't move after entering the maze, your position won't change, right?" Richard asked thoughtfully.

Upon entering the maze again, Richard took a step forward this time. With that small step, Richard realized that he was suddenly much farther away from the runes, and his orientation had changed.

Richard's four eyes opened simultaneously, and in his eyes, the space around him was constantly flowing, while his own spatial coordinates were constantly changing.

In other words, Richard was like someone adrift in a turbulent river.

"interesting."

Richard surveyed the surrounding space, a fervent thirst for knowledge flashing across his face.

"This maze definitely holds a great secret!"
