Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 869 The Secret of the Half-Body! The Terrifying Power of the Demonic Dragon Rose!
Orion stared wide-eyed at Locke's saintly incarnation in disbelief; this was the first time he had ever seen Locke's true face.

"Are you a tree-man...teacher?"

At this moment, Locke looked directly at the crater.

"If you won't come looking for me, then I'll come looking for you."

After Locke entered the prime material plane of this world directly using his saintly avatar, he immediately understood many things that he couldn't know the details of before.

First, I previously only observed twelve giants on the crater using the Void Cube, but later I discovered that there was at least a God-King + eleven ordinary giant kings + a god-superior god on the crater.

But now, there are only eleven giants on the crater.

Through the principles of dimensionality, he could only see eleven giant kings on the crater; the supreme god and god-king who should have been on the crater were nowhere to be found.

The so-called 'God Supreme God' is the biggest mastermind in the Three Caves World, so it's normal that I can't confirm his true location.

After all, if I knew his exact location, I could just use my Saintly Avatar to kill him.

But the god-king that these giants had always talked about had mysteriously vanished without a trace on this crater.

Moreover, the strangest thing is that the plane principles corresponding to the gods and kings of the crater are all there and responding, but when I used my saintly incarnation to look up from the earth at the god-king who should be on the crater, the god-king had disappeared.

The god-king, who should have sat in the center of the palace, overlooking the eleven giants, now had his throne empty.

The throne was visible, but the king was nowhere to be seen.

Secondly, he discovered that the underground world, which corresponds to the higher plane of the underworld in this world, was not completely controlled by the 'God Above God'.

The giant pantheon only dispatched one giant king in that upper world.

In other words, there were originally eleven known Titans in the world, but after one was killed by his own scheme, only ten Titan Kings remain.

Locke gazed at the crater but could not find any trace of his half-body, though he could sense its presence in this world.

At the same time, after his saintly incarnation entered this world, a principle of the plane actually responded to him.

That principle of the plane resonated and connected with the power of many planes in this world, actually triggering a reaction from half of the principles of the plane.

The principle of the plane flashed by in an instant, seemingly realizing that Locke was not the true original, and thus immediately disappeared.

Locke's gaze was fixed on the crater.

What exactly did my other half do in this world? Although I never met him, his traces are everywhere.

'That principle of planes is very special. It's intertwined with the principles of half of the planes in this world, clearly utilizing the arrangements of the mastermind behind this world. Within his arrangements, he almost achieved a counterattack against that mastermind.'

'To govern the principles of other planes with the principles of one plane? What exactly is that principle? If it's accomplished, I fear that the gains of the mastermind behind this place over thousands of years will... all fall into my hands.'

Locke pondered for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he gave up trying.

The best course of action now is to find my other half, return it to my original body, and then I can naturally inherit all the arrangements here.

By strengthening the arrangement of one's own half with one's own body, perhaps that special principle of the plane can truly be completed.

Although it's not of much use to me.

After all, the most important things right now are completing the teacher's test ring task, constructing the second great magic, and finding that World Leaf.

The principles of the special world constructed here by the half-body are only of some use to this world, so although I am interested in understanding them, I have no urgent desire to learn about them.

Locke's gaze upon the crater caused the palaces on it to tremble, and an immense magical pressure descended upon the gods on the crater.

Palaces collapsed under this terrifying demonic pressure, and even the peaks of the ring mountain range began to shift due to the excessive pressure, collapsing one after another.

The mountains collapsed, divine power declined, and the principles of the various planes possessed by the gods retreated again and again in the face of Locke's gaze, filled with apprehension.

The gods were terrified and uneasy; his gaze was like swords piercing the eyes of every giant.

On the crater, the giant kings all looked troubled.

"Is this the power of a demon god? His mere gaze can intimidate even the gods!"

"We must ask the God-King for help!"

"The Demon God's true form is still outside this world. We are helpless even with just an avatar. If his true form enters this world, wouldn't it be the end of the world? Oh no, the Demon God is coming. Heavens, who will stop him?"

The immense demonic pressure pressed down on them like a vast, oppressive world.

The once valiant kings of giants have all now avoided battle. Even the fire giant, who was the first to make such a bold statement, has ordered the elves to keep their palace gates closed and not to come out.

Locke rode the Demon Dragon Rose, descending upon the crater. Behind the Demon Dragon Rose, three pairs of rose leaves resembled the broken wings of a demon dragon, and three flower buds resembled the three heads of a demon dragon. The aerial roots transformed into dragon claws, gripping Locke's shoulders.

The three flower buds spewed out the dragon's breath, which contained the power of destruction within its black and red color. Wherever it passed, the ten planes of reason retreated again and again, and even the ten planes of reason actively severed their connection with the ten giants out of fear.

The ten giant kings sensed the rapid disappearance of the principles of the various planes, just as in the end times when all paths vanished.

Locke used the "One Tree Cannot Support" technique to control the Demonic Dragon Rose and arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Realm. The three flower buds and dragon heads spewed out the Demonic Dragon's breath forward. Instantly, the Heavenly Realm gate, which was composed of the dimensional principles of the gods on the mountain, developed cracks one after another under the destruction of the three Demonic Dragon's breaths.

The Dragon's Breath can cure any object!

Or rather, the dragon's breath inherently possesses the characteristic of destroying the laws of planes, but because Locke's dragon bloodline level is not high enough, this characteristic is not manifested in a deep enough way, and it can only destroy objects.

All ten giant kings showed expressions of horror, as if they had seen the Great Demon King stepping into the gates of heaven.

The Giantess of Wind exclaimed, "Impossible! The Heavenly Gate is blessed by the dimensional principles of all the gods except the God-King. To destroy the Heavenly Gate and force entry would require enduring the dimensional principles of all of us. He alone has suppressed the dimensional principles of all of us!"

The fire giant remained inside the hall, terrified, and said, "I see the fire of destruction approaching. Endless flames are coming from afar, and the sacred and peaceful heavens will be burned in those flames, just as the mortal world will be burned by our flames."

"This is an enemy I cannot defeat. I must ask the God-King for help!"

The Grass Giantess was trembling, and she sensed that the Grass Principle was also trembling and feeling afraid.

The gate to heaven finally collapsed.

Locke used [A Lone Tree Cannot Support It] and the Demonic Dragon Rose to break into the room.

Locke entered the celestial realm and sensed the difference in the flow of time between the celestial realm and the mortal world.

"I see. The base of the Celestial Realm possesses a large amount of spiritual energy. I knew this world was rich in spiritual energy mines. Now, I have to make a choice."

Normally, with his status and magical power, once he descends into this world, most of its secrets will be revealed to him.

However, because I haven't yet achieved the state of "doing whatever I want without overstepping the bounds," and given the anomalies of this world itself, many of its secrets remain hidden from me.

"It is a hidden principle."

Locke scanned the principles of many planes and saw a hidden principle turn into mist, obscuring the principles of many planes of this world, preventing him from seeing through the essence of this world.

'It seems they truly are old friends. They even created a hidden principle to conceal the senses of the wizard's saintly avatar. To create such a secret technique before even engaging with the wizarding civilization is a very low-probability event.'

Locke thought to himself, 'I have two main choices: first, to kill that Grass Giantess immediately; second, to retrieve a Sealed Stone, giving me another illusionist-turned-air wizard as an ally.'

'From a cost-benefit perspective, killing the Grass Giantess is the most profitable. It would almost instantly allow me to conquer this world and suppress the vast majority of any resistance.'

Locke had already observed the approximate location of these giants. 'So I'd better go and kill that Grass Titan first. Whether I can kill her or not, I want to try and end this war immediately.'

Locke suddenly looked toward the location of the fire giant that contained the sealing stone.

He used the [One Tree Cannot Support] technique, riding the demonic dragon Rose towards that location.

The divine eye deep within the celestial realm suddenly sharpened, its gaze revealing a rare look of fear.

'He saw through it. This wizard is definitely not an ordinary wizard in the Nightmare Legion. He immediately noticed that I used the Law of Concealment to secretly switch the positions of the Grass Giantess and the Fire Giant's palaces.'

Locke descended from the sky, landing above the palace of the Grass Giantess. The moment he realized that the secrets of this world existed, he immediately thought that the secrets could hide secrets and also conceal them.

The 'God Above Gods' deliberately separated the Sealing Stone and the Grass Giant, placing them in two palaces in the heavens to share the risks.

If it were him, he would use the Secret Principle to switch the locations of the Giantess and the Sealing Stone to mislead the enemy.

Therefore, the location where the sealing stone exists is most likely the location of the Grass Giant.

At this moment, inside the palace, the Grass Giantess sat terrified on the Giant Throne, unable to move due to the immense magical pressure that Locke had descended from the sky.

The oppressive winds made her facial muscles twitch, but she couldn't stand up.

Her knees, her dimensional response, were as powerless as a cruise ship facing a towering wave in the ocean in the face of Locke's terrifying magical pressure.

The roof of her palace collapsed completely when Locke's dragon rose's tail swept away the top of her palace.

"roar~"

The combined dragon might of the Demonic Dragon Rose and Locke's dragon bloodline, along with the plant essence and bloodline essence, resulted in a synergy greater than the sum of its parts. The immense magical pressure transformed into the dragon might of the Mind School, pressing down on the Grass Giantess.

The Grass Giantess screamed in agony, nearly killed by the dragon's might.

Her heart was shattered.

Just as Locke was about to kill her completely, obtain the response of the Forest Law, and combine it with the influence of the current Saint Avatar in this world, he forcibly allowed his main body and his void warship [Explorer Vanguard] to enter this world.

The 'God Supreme God' deep within the Heavenly Realm suddenly cried out.

"Don't even think about it. I've been ruling this world for a thousand years. Nightmare Legion, don't even think about taking over this world so soon after your arrival. You're out of the question. This world is mine."

The 'God Above Gods' directly manipulated the mountain giants, seized her dimensional principles, and then used the principles of mountains to reverse the position of the celestial realm, the upper plane.

He was willing to compromise the stability of the Celestial Realm, this higher plane, to move the Grass Lady Giant's mountain peak to its relative position in the Celestial Realm.

Or perhaps he had long anticipated that someone would attack the Heavenly Realm, and thus had already used the principles of mountains to divide a portion of the Heavenly Realm's space five hundred years ago.

If the enemy attacks the mountains where the gods reside, he can use his control over the principles of mountains to change the location of those mountains.

Of course, if the Mountain Giant dies and the Principle of the Mountain is ignored, the Divine Eye will indeed be unable to perform this operation.

At this moment, Yamanori moved the nearest Iron Giant's palace here.

They then moved the palace and mountain of the Grass Giant away.

At this moment, the steel giant looked up in bewilderment and saw the demonic dragon flames descending from the sky through the broken palace rooftop under Locke's dragon might.

That was the fire that would destroy the world.

Within the pure destructive power of the World-Destroying Dragon, there was also a trace of life magic unique to magical plants.

The Iron Giant said, "No!"

The next moment, he tried to summon the Iron Law to form an iron shield to protect himself, but he couldn't, because the Iron Law, under Locke's dragon might, actually chose to hide itself and refused to respond.

At this moment, a principle of this plane responded to Locke.

That is the principle of destruction.

A look of terror flashed in the eyes of the gods deep within the heavens.

That was a principle of the plane that even he hadn't fully mastered. If Locke obtained the principle of destruction, wouldn't he have the authority to destroy the world?

The Principle of Destruction swept over Locke, and after confirming that Locke had no intention of destroying the world, it immediately withdrew.

After all, Locke came to save the world and try to find his other half and the World Tree leaf; he didn't come to destroy it.

The normal lifespan of this world is far from being destroyed.

The Law of Destruction is not powerful at this stage, and Locke has no intention of destruction, so the Law of Destruction naturally will not respond to Locke.

Shenyan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Locke might actually obtain the Principle of Destruction, launch an apocalypse against the world, and then leave in style on his void warship.

After the apocalypse, he will return in his void warship and reap the rewards of the resources that will have been scattered into the void after the apocalypse.

Then he was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, the wizard in this nightmare legion wasn't that ruthless; he must be a white wizard.

According to his understanding, the dark wizards in the Nightmare Legion are likely to engage in such short-sighted practices. They don't want long-term returns that require waiting and resource investment; they want immediate, high profits.

If he were to encounter such a dark wizard, all his millennia of planning in this world would truly be in vain, and he would never have another chance to be reborn.

At this moment, the Iron Giant was killed by the Demon Dragon's flames, and the Divine Eye immediately did the second thing—he directly cleaved the mountain where the Iron Giant was located out of the Heavenly Realm!
Even if it harms the essence of the celestial realm, he will still sever this mountain.

Otherwise, the entire Celestial Realm would be conquered by Locke!

After the Divine Eye cleaved the Heavenly Realm and threw the mountain out, he immediately suffered a backlash from the Principles of Planes. Although he could do whatever he wanted, he had to be prepared for the retaliatory actions of the Principles of Planes of this world after he damaged the interests of this world.

"what!"

The being behind the divine eye let out a scream.

But he did throw that mountain out of the heavens.

Despite the excruciating pain and the power loss caused by the backlash, the Divine Eye immediately did the third thing—seal the Heavenly Realm itself!
The voice of the divine eye appeared in the ears of the gods and many priests in the mortal realm.

"From this day forward, the gates to the heavens are closed forever, and the mortal world is forever separated from the heavens."

"The living and the dead are forever separated, and there will never be another day to open them!"

This was a desperate measure by the God-Eye, because Locke had already broken the gate to the heavens with magic, so he had to create an everlasting barrier between the heavens and the mortal realm, that is, to create a crystal wall system between the heavens and the mortal realm to keep Locke out.

However, this also has endless consequences.

But at this moment, he could only drink poison to quench his thirst; surviving was the priority.

Locke raised an eyebrow.

"What? You're turning yourself into a coward? Well, that's one way to solve the problem."
