Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 212 Forbidden Spell - Heavenly Flame VS Emperor - Sea Spirit Pillar

"Oh my god! The seawater... the seawater is flowing backwards!"

"No! It's not flowing backwards! It's that pillar! It's absorbing seawater!"

"It's over... the whole island... the whole island will be flooded!"

Desperate cries echoed throughout the room.

Without needing an explanation, everyone understood the terrifying nature of this Sea Spirit Pillar!
It's like a super sponge thrown into the desert, or a black hole rooted in the earth!
It doesn't attack directly, but fundamentally alters the laws of water in this area, forcibly gathering, drawing in, and absorbing all the surrounding seawater! As long as it stands here, the seawater will endlessly surge, accumulate, and rise!
The elevation of Hokkaido is being forcibly raised by this frantically converging seawater!

Before long, the entire island, along with all the living things and buildings on it, will be completely swallowed by the rising sea and sink into the cold, dark seabed.

An emperor-level being has already made its move! The Silver-winged Ant Queen hovered high in the air, her cold silver compound eyes indifferently watching the struggling ants below.

The means of tearing through space, sending sirens and waterfalls, and the terrifying power to effortlessly annihilate the pinnacle of humanity, completely shattered any illusion of direct confrontation.

However, about a kilometer away from the Sea Spirit Pillar that was constantly swallowing the seawater, on a rugged "island" formed by several collapsed high-rise buildings that had not yet been completely submerged, a figure stood.

He was short and even somewhat hunched over, dressed in an old-fashioned Onmyoji hunting robe, with white hair and beard, and a withered face, as if a sea breeze could blow him over.

However, those eyes, which were deeply etched with wrinkles, were surprisingly bright at that moment.

He is Abe Kiyogen, a reclusive forbidden spellcaster from the land of cherry blossoms!

Qingyuan's gaze fell upon the cold, silvery light on the distant horizon—the Silver-winged Queen Ant.

And further still, in the deepest part of the towering tides, a vast and terrifying aura, like the embodiment of the ocean's will, emanates.

That must be the source of this disaster: the commander of the Siren Legion, the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor!
"If we can hurt it... perhaps the source of this disaster can be shaken..." This thought echoed in Qingyuan's mind.

He knew that only by directly attacking the emperor who ruled the sea monsters could he possibly gain a slim chance to breathe for this land.

He analyzed that the Silverwing Ant Queen was likely assisting the Siren Emperor.
Although the Silverwing Queen Ant is very strong, their greatest threat at present is not her, but the sky-covering tsunami.

However, this thought only flashed by for a moment before being overwhelmed by an even deeper sense of powerlessness.

Not to mention that the Sea-Suppressing Emperor is hidden deep behind the vast ocean tides and countless powerful sea monsters, just getting close to it requires breaking through the Abyss Executioner, the Shadow Singer, the Mother of the Corrupted Tide, the Lord of the Raging Waves, and the endless sea monster army pouring out from the spatial waterfall.

At this point, the mages in their military force were barely able to protect themselves, let alone break through to the rear of the tide.

The human being who was on whom great hopes were placed and who had just begun to shine was completely wiped out just moments after the Silverwing Ant Queen appeared!
As for the sneak attack on the Silverwing Ant Queen?

A bitter look crossed Qingyuan's withered face.

The spatial emperor... and he, an old and frail fire-type forbidden spell user, launched a sneak attack right in front of him?

That would be like a moth drawn to a flame, courting its own destruction.

His forbidden spells may be incredibly powerful, but can he lock onto a target that can disappear into the void at any time before activating them?
The answer is almost certainly no.

He could feel the tremors of the "isolated island" beneath his feet and hear the roar of distant cities collapsing completely and being swallowed by the sea.

Every minute and every second that passes means more land will be submerged. He can't wait any longer.

“Never mind…” His cloudy eyes instantly became clear and sharp.

He no longer looked at the unreachable emperor. He raised his withered finger and pointed to the Sea Spirit Pillar, which stood like a magic needle in the center of Hokkaido and was frantically swallowing the entire ocean!

Destroy it! It's the only target you can see and touch!
"Forbidden Fire Spell—" Qingyuan's voice was no longer old and weak, but like a great bell, carrying an ancient and solemn rhythm, instantly overpowering the roar of the tsunami, resounding throughout this world shrouded in water and despair!

Every syllable seemed to resonate with the most violent fire element in the world!

"Heavenly Flame"

As the final incantation fell, everything around Abe Kiyogen boiled and burned fiercely!
In the vast space between Qingyuan and Hailingzhu, instead of a bright flame, countless tiny, pitch-black cracks appeared out of thin air!

It was as if the space itself could not withstand the extreme heat and was burned through! From these dense spatial cracks, an indescribable "flame" flowed out!

A sea of ​​crimson! Filling the entire space!

It seemed to exist, yet it was burning everything in real life! It had no physical form, but wherever it passed, even space itself emitted a sizzling sound, constantly collapsing and annihilating from the heat!
This crimson river, stretching across the sky and flowing from countless spatial rifts, carried a resolute will to burn everything. Ignoring the surging seawater below, it roared and rushed straight towards the azure sea spirit pillar!

I want to destroy it.

At that moment, the almost extinguished flame in the hearts of all the humans who witnessed this forbidden spell flickered once more!
This is a forbidden spell! It is their last glimmer of hope!

However, just as the crimson flames were about to engulf the Sea Spirit Pillar—

"Roar--!!!"

A roar originating from the endless depths of the sea, containing supreme majesty and boundless fury, rolled in from the deepest part of the tide!

The roar was not directed at anyone, but was directly aimed at the Sea Spirit Pillar!

Om-!
The Sea Spirit Pillar trembled violently! The countless complex and profound ocean runes engraved on its surface suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented azure divine radiance!

This radiance was no longer gentle, but carried the awe-inspiring and inviolable will of an emperor!
Inside the column, it seemed as if boundless seawater was swirling and compressing wildly!
The Sea Spirit Pillar is not merely a "black hole" that absorbs seawater; it was personally crafted by the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor, combining his demonic arts of summoning sea tides with the essence of the deep sea.

At the top of the Sea Spirit Pillar, at the core where endless seawater gathers, azure light instantly weaves across the sky above the pillar!

The endless seawater is drawn, compressed, and condensed by a mysterious force, and is no longer in a liquid state.

Instead, it transformed into a crystal-clear, incredibly thick, and deep blue dome-shaped screen!
This giant screen, like an inverted blue crystal bowl formed from the essence of the entire ocean, firmly envelops the entire Sea Spirit Pillar!

"laugh--!!!"

A crimson river of flames crashed violently against the blue sky!

There was no earth-shattering explosion! Only a chilling sound of annihilation!

The extreme high temperature and the crimson flames that incinerated the space encountered the ocean's primordial barrier, which was extremely condensed and contained the will of an emperor!
