Nascent Soul Rebirth: Starting as a Wizard

That ancient riverbed, long since dried up, now only has a winding riverbed and scattered weathered boulders.

That distinctive ring of debris formed by meteorite impacts or ancient energy bursts.

On one hand, it quickly compares and corrects the data with the markings on the map.

At his current speed and direction, he should be able to reach the area marked as a "suspected active ley line point" in three or four hours at most.

For mortals who depend on flesh and blood, and for most other creatures, sandstorms are catastrophic disasters.

But for these rock creatures, which are essentially combinations of rocks and minerals and live by absorbing the earth's energy, it is nothing more than a rather harsh "weather".

Just like an ordinary person encountering a rainstorm, although it is inconvenient, it is far from fatal.

Solo's spiritual senses, like the most precise radar, swept across the dusty, rocky land below.

Soon, a group of rock creatures stubbornly making their way through the sandstorm caught his attention.

There were about thirty rock creatures, most of them between five and ten meters tall, belonging to medium to large-sized individuals.

Their heavy stone feet trod on the soft sand, leaving deep footprints that were quickly buried by the wind and sand.

The team advanced in a loose formation, but their direction was clear: towards the limestone production base hundreds of miles away.

In the center of this group of rock monsters, one particularly striking individual stands out like a moving hill.

It stands over 15 meters tall, with a grayish-brown rocky body featuring numerous joints, chest, shoulders, and other vital areas.

It was covered with an uneven layer of crystalline material that shimmered with a dull, pale luster, as if it were draped in a layer of naturally formed rough crystalline armor.

This is a rock giant that has already begun the crystallization process, and its strength is far beyond that of an ordinary rock monster.

"Clean up some small fry along the way, saves the base a lot of trouble." Solo's eyes turned slightly cold in the sky, a flash of killing intent passing through them.

With a slight thought, the roc beneath his feet suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, and its wings abruptly retracted backward.

Its massive body drew a sharp arc in the air, like a hunting eagle, as it swooped down towards the group of rock creatures below.

It moved so fast that it left a blurry, pale blue trail in the air.

When it was still fifty or sixty meters above the ground, the giant roc phantom suddenly disintegrated, transforming back into a surging, invisible force of energy.

Most of it flowed back into Solo's body, while a small portion dissipated in the gale.

Solo glanced sideways. It seemed that forcibly lowering his Hunyuan internal energy to the level of a first-class martial artist had significantly reduced his control over his internal energy, leaving him barely surpassing an average first-class martial artist.

Solo fell like a meteor, the wind whistling in his ears like the wailing of ghosts.

During the fall, his arms were already outstretched, his fingers either flexed or extended, and in an instant, the air around him frantically converged and swirled towards his arms!

It wasn't just the invisible energy transformed from his own refined internal strength that was at work.

The endless sand and gravel particles swept up by the sandstorm in the surrounding air seemed to be drawn by an invisible hand.

Like iron filings attracting a magnet, they swarm and are drawn to it.

In an instant, two rapidly spinning, ever-expanding gray-yellow vortices formed around his arms.

At the core of the vortex, the highly compressed and condensed energy emitted a low and chilling "whoosh" sound, as if two hungry sand behemoths were awakening.

This is the secret technique that person created based on sandstorms back then!

"Secret Technique: Wind Flow Method - Divine Storm Sand!"

Solo's descent accelerated suddenly, and he almost became one with the vortex of sand and gravel around his arms.

It transformed into a destructive drill falling from the sky, aimed directly at the head of the crystallized rock giant, which was covered with pale crystal armor!

Although the crystal giant appears clumsy, it has an exceptionally keen sense of danger.

It suddenly raised its head, and two points of yellowish-brown energy light in its eye sockets suddenly shone brightly, letting out a muffled roar like a boulder crashing.

Its unusually thick, stone arms, which were also beginning to show crystalline spots, instinctively crossed and blocked upwards, trying to protect its head.

"Bang! Boom—Sizzle!!!"

The drill flow collided violently with the rock arm!

There was no stalemate, only an extremely piercing sound, like thousands of steel files scraping against a boulder at the same time, erupted!

The rocky arms, harder than ordinary steel, were peeled away and pulverized layer by layer like rotten wood under the impact of the Divine Storm Sand Drill Stream!

Hard pebbles of varying sizes, mixed with pale crystal fragments, burst forth in a radial pattern in all directions, embedding themselves deeply into the surrounding sand.

It even knocked back several medium-sized rock creatures that were nearby.

The drilling flow was unstoppable, striking the giant's crystalline armor with tremendous force.

The pale crystalline armor made a cracking sound as it could no longer bear the weight, and dense cracks appeared. Large chunks broke off, revealing the darker main rock beneath.

Although the blow severely damaged its head, it did not immediately destroy it completely.

The life core of rock organisms—the crystal nucleus—is often hidden deep within a protected location inside the body, not simply in the head.

"roar!!!"

The excruciating pain and humiliation from the head injury completely unleashed the crystalline giant's ferocious rage.

Its yellowish-brown eyes suddenly turned crimson, ignoring its shattered arms and head injuries.

With a sudden twist of its massive body, its left arm, with a speed disproportionate to its size, scooped up a medium-sized rock creature, about seven or eight meters tall, that was looking somewhat bewildered.

The unfortunate rock monster didn't even have time to struggle before the giant used it as a terrifying throwing weapon.

With a sharp gust of wind, it slammed into Solo, who had just landed!

The force of that throw was enough to create a deep crater even in a steel fortress.

"Well done!"

Faced with this sudden counterattack, Solo was not surprised but delighted.

The swirling sand and dust he was creating with his arms outstretched suddenly stopped, but the two violent eddies of sand and gravel did not dissipate.

Instead, it seemed to have a life of its own, flowing rapidly down his arms, shoulders, and torso!

The sand and gravel fragments that were originally carried along, along with crystal fragments of obviously higher quality that had just broken off from the crystallized giant.

They were all carried along by this flowing energy and instantly converged in front of the toes of his right foot!

New, larger, and more solidified drill-shaped vortices formed instantly.

The scale was even larger than the one on the arm before, and the shrill sound of the sand and gravel spinning and rubbing inside was even more ear-piercing.

Solo lightly touched the sand with his toes, and instead of retreating, he leaped into the air to meet the flying rock creature.

While in mid-air, he twisted his waist and swung his right leg like a battle axe.

The terrifying stream of sand and gravel ripped through the air with each toe, drawing a gray-yellow arc of death.

It struck the incoming rock creature squarely in the chest with perfect accuracy!

"Snap—Pfft!"

A clear and short sound of a crystal core cracking came from inside the rock creature.

Its massive body suddenly stiffened, and its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

Immediately afterward, starting from the chest struck by the drill flow, countless cracks spread like lightning throughout his entire body.

Immediately, his entire body disintegrated, shattering into tens of thousands of large and small stones!
