This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 434 The Real Treasure!

"Waaaaah..."

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The roar of steam mingled with the roar of the chaotic black mist annihilating the steam, like a death symphony being played.

Moreover, as more and more chaotic black mist surged through the barrier, the spherical shape that Tucker had expanded using steam was continuously compressed.

I examined it for a moment.

Tucker chose the most powerful insight, [High-Dimensional Vision], to meticulously observe the surrounding chaotic black mist.

Tucker continuously gathered a large amount of information about the chaotic black mist.

"These chaotic black mists possess considerable active power and clearly exhibit extraordinary consciousness."

"It's as if...they are part of some powerful life form."

"To be more precise, it is fully alive."

"At the same time, this chaotic black mist will annihilate my steam source energy."

"Not only my steam energy source, but there is no energy source or anything like that inside the wall near the border. Obviously, all energy sources will be annihilated by this chaotic black mist."

"Most importantly, the chaotic black mist has an extremely strong ability to block my passage."

"Not just to me, but to source energy life forms like me."

"The chaotic black mist is contained within the walls of the Old God's Dead Land of Atia, and outside there is an endless stream of chaotic black mist."

Tucker used his high-dimensional vision to look at the barrier from afar.

Deep within the barrier, a thick, mountain-like chaotic black mist shrouded the area. Some of it had even crystallized into chaotic black mist.

What Tucker saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the barriers of the Old Gods' Dead Lands of Atia.

The entire Urtia Ancient God Deadland, compared to the vast and boundless Chaos Ancient Continent, is but a drop in the ocean.

The barrier that Tucker wanted to pass through was completely occupied by the chaotic black mist.

Escape routes were completely blocked.

"It is said that in a very ancient era, this chaotic ancient continent had civilization."

"From the four-tusked elephant world ship I activated, as well as the large world-class world ship at the Blood Sea Ancient Ruins shipwreck site, and the many divine treasure sites within this Chaos Ancient Continent, it is clear that a powerful sequence civilization does indeed exist here."

"Over countless years, those powerful sequential civilizations have all perished."

"So here's the question: how were these chaotic black mists that annihilated the ancient civilizations born?"

"It couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere."

"Moreover... in the alien lands shrouded outside the Chaos Ancient Continent, there also exists Chaos Black Mist."

"It's as if... the ecology of the ancient chaotic continent died and deteriorated, and in the process of decay, it evolved into this kind of chaotic black mist that annihilates all life and all chaotic energy."

"This is going to..."

Tucker narrowed his eyes as he pondered.

"Drag the whole world down into depravity, decay, and death."

"Being trapped here is definitely not a good thing; we must find a way to escape."

"Break through the barriers of this Old God's Dead Land of Ethia?"

"That seems a bit unrealistic at the moment."

Tucker shook his head as he examined the increasingly approaching chaotic black mist, which possessed strong annihilation properties.

"The source energy of the sparse chaotic black mist near the edge of this chaotic barrier is being rapidly annihilated, and it is also enveloping and suppressing me."

"If I were to enter a place where the chaotic black mist is dense, the living chaotic black mist would definitely suppress me completely, making it impossible for me to escape."

"If there's really no other way, either try to escape this place through the opened corridor of the Necromancer's Bone Ground, or spend one or two hundred years in the Chaotic Ecological Small World."

As the chaotic black mist surrounding Tucker grew thicker and thicker, Tucker was suppressed more and more severely.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The hissing sound of annihilation lingered around Tucker.

"Um?"

Tucker, who already possessed a strong understanding of the mysteries of Chaos Runes.

It was rather strange to discover that the chaotic black mist was annihilating its own chaotic steam at this moment.

"During the annihilation process, a relatively rich manifestation of the profound mysteries of chaotic runes was revealed."

Why is that?

"Natural energy is part of chaotic energy, and chaotic energy is part of the origin of chaos."

"The origin of chaos is the energy state manifestation of the profound meaning of the chaotic runes."

"The annihilation of source energy is normal; it can be seen as the cancellation of source energy with different characteristics."

"However, it's abnormal that a relatively dense concentration of chaotic runic mysteries emerged during the annihilation!"

While pondering this, Tucker immediately increased the release of steam.

We began to observe the chaotic black mist from a close, high-dimensional perspective, in minute detail.

Previously, Tucker had only observed the large-scale existence of the chaotic black mist from a distance.

Meanwhile, as Tucker was taking a close look at the chaotic black mist, he...

Tucker immediately noticed the peculiar properties of those "chaotic black mists".

Tucker observed for more than half an hour.

Tucker, sensing that he had consumed a significant amount of his source energy, stopped releasing steam source energy.

Then I personally experienced the feeling of my own projection being annihilated by the chaotic black mist.

…………

Chaotic Ecosystem No. 1, within the Small World.

As the steam-powered solar energy continues to radiate.

As Tucker recovered, he carefully reviewed and summarized what he had observed.

"At a very, very subtle level, it is entirely the origin of the mysteries of the Chaos Runes."

"As my chaotic steam energy collided with the chaotic black mist, both quickly entered an excited state, then disappeared, and the effects they presented annihilated each other."

"But from my perspective at the higher-dimensional level, what I see is that they are coupled at the level of runic source."

"A vivid analogy is that when two excited energy bodies come into contact, they cease to be excited."

"Immediately afterwards, my chaotic steam source energy, after releasing a certain amount of chaotic rune mysteries, seemed to 'lose its power'."

"At this point, my chaotic steam energy source was basically captured by the chaotic black mist and became part of them."

"It's fair to say it was captured."

"It is also correct to put it in another form, such as absorption, transformation, and assimilation."

"The continuous pollution and transformation of the chaotic black mist on the primordial power of chaos is more terrifying than pure annihilation."

"In other words, this chaotic black mist is the primordial enemy of the ancient chaotic continent."

"They cannot resist even at the fundamental level of the Chaos Runes' profound mysteries."

"At the very source of the Chaos Runes, all hope for the ancient continent of Chaos is extinguished."

"The profound mysteries of chaotic runes and the source of chaotic steam energy, even when unleashed, are nothing more than... nourishment for the chaotic black mist."

"Now I understand how those chaotic ancient civilizations perished."

"The means to resist have been cut off at the root, leaving no hope of victory in the confrontation."

"Moreover... the reason why the chaotic black mist is called black mist is because they are even devouring the source energy light sent by the stars."

"Black mist is just a name."

"Its essence is more like an ecosystem that devours, digests, and infects the source of chaos."

"Even now, at this very moment... the chaotic black mist shrouding the ancient continent of chaos is still devouring the nutrients of this main world to strengthen itself."

"How did this damnably bizarre characteristic evolve?"

"Due to the death of the Chaotic Ancient Continent, this irreversible [death ecosystem characteristic] evolved within the death ecosystem?"

"Could you also mention any other reasons?"

Tucker pondered deeply, but still couldn't find a definite answer.

Throughout history, countless wizards have studied the various aspects of the Chaos Ancient Continent.

Tucker is not particularly knowledgeable in the field of extraordinary learning.

They only have some expertise in the field of extraordinary ecology.

It's impossible to figure out the cause of this destruction in just a few days.

If Tucker had only just begun to encounter this terrifying "chaotic black mist".

Perhaps Tucker will also be shocked, stunned, and desperate.

There is actually an "energy ecosystem" that completely counters the "Chaos Master" sequence.

No matter how powerful one becomes through cultivation, that "energy" can always overwhelm them.

Then what is the meaning of my own cultivation?

but!

The ancient, chaotic continent of death lies before us.

Endless chaotic black mist gathered in the alien land on the outside.

Death is the inevitable end from the start; what else can you do but accept it?

Born into such a desperate environment, Tucker emphasizes maintaining a calm mindset.

"However... it wasn't without any gains."

Tucker, gradually calming his mind, took out a "Chaotic Treasure" that he had brought out from the Chaotic Ecological Small World.

In Tucker's hand was a piece of material with a reddish-brown rust color, mottled all over and mostly corroded, which was naturally the work of the chaotic black mist.

It is known that legendary Chaos Treasures can be corrupted by the Chaos Mist. However, Chaos Treasures can grow and mature within the Chaos Ecological Small World.

However, the signs of death, decay, and decline within the chaotic ecological microcosm are negligible.

Therefore, Tucker can easily draw a conclusion.

That is.

This peculiar chaotic barrier in the chaotic ecological micro-world can block the erosion and penetration of the "chaotic black mist".

Otherwise, the treasures inside would be corroded and permeated, just like the mottled material in Tucker's hand.

In fact, all the materials within the chaotic ecological micro-world are perfectly complete.

【Chaotic Crystal Wall】

Tucker carefully examined the crystal barriers of the chaotic ecological micro-world.

"In the end, what needs the most research, perception, penetration and understanding is the barrier of this chaotic ecological microcosm that I first touched."

"After all, these small ecosystems grew out of the encroachment of the chaotic black mist."

"To be honest, this level of defense is indeed a bit outrageous."

"Even a demigod couldn't budge it in the slightest."

"That's how extraordinary ecosystems work; the stronger the ecosystem, the more terrifying the things it breeds."

"The chaotic black mist possesses unbelievable activity and terrifying annihilation properties."

"Such a terrifying ecosystem would naturally give rise to terrifying creations like the Chaos Crystal Wall."

"Perhaps... this... is the real treasure!"

Tucker stared thoughtfully at the crystal wall of the chaotic ecological microcosm.

"Hmm... let's just let the steam ecosystem and the chaotic crystal wall ecosystem continue their cycle for now."

"After the steam circulation has penetrated sufficiently."

"I can then engage in an ecological cycle with the chaotic crystal wall ecosystem, absorbing enough of its characteristics, and then try it out one by one with the chaotic black mist."

"In order to find the best way to combat the chaotic black mist."

"Once a way is found to combat the chaotic black mist, it will prevent us from being eroded and annihilated by it."

Tucker gently touched his palm, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"I can come and go as I please in the chaotic black mist."

"This ancient land of the Ethias is, to me, open 24/7, 365/49—it's my own backyard!"

"Things were completely different back then."

After a moment's thought, Tucker set up several more Steam Sun Altars.

Let more steam energy bloom, and let the barriers of the chaotic ecological microcosm absorb it.

Say something.

The barrier of this chaotic ecological micro-world has an astonishing capacity for absorbing chaotic steam energy.

And that's exactly what Tucker wanted to see.

The stronger and more robust the ecosystem, the more astonishing the accumulation of its energy resources will inevitably be.

After doing all this, Tucker headed toward the distant projection of Tarlov.

…………

"Tucker, how's it going?"

Sensing Tucker's arrival, Tarlov this time directly conjured a small projection over twenty meters long.

Tarlov's projection is relatively weak; a typical mid-level Transcendent Master could easily deal with it.

This was clearly not for combat, but for daily information exchange.

Within the realm of the gods, where distances are vast, it is quite convenient to simply project the corresponding coordinates.

Tucker thought for a moment and then began to speak.

"Lord Tarlov was previously thrown to the edge of the fortress, where a vast amount of chaotic black mist permeates the area."

"I gave it a try, but it ended in failure."

"The annihilation properties of that chaotic black mist are indeed quite astonishing."

"At the same time, the chaotic black mist seems to have extremely strong ecological characteristics, as well as extremely strong binding characteristics."

"At present, it seems that it is basically impossible to get through the chaotic black mist."

"So, I currently have two ideas."

Tucker explained, while Tarlov listened quietly.

"Firstly, according to everyone's previous plan, once the corridor of the Necromancer's Bone Grounds opens, we will all rush out together."

Whether we survive or not depends on luck.

"Secondly... hiding in the chaotic ecological microcosm and spending time with them."

"Although they may be trapped for a long time, they will most likely survive."

After Tucker finished explaining, the legendary powerhouse Tarlov pondered for a moment.

A short while later, Tarlov suddenly looked at Tucker.

"Tucker, those chaotic treasures within the ecological mini-world are all presented in perfect form, which means they won't be eroded or permeated by the chaotic black mist inside, right?"

Tucker raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, and then nodded.

"That's how it is in theory."

Tarlov paused to think for a moment before speaking.

"This predicament lasted for hundreds, even two hundred years."

"Time isn't a big problem, but the problem is that if the Green Star Clan's powerful members occupy this place again in a hundred or two hundred years, we'll probably be stuck here again."

"Moreover, if something unexpected happens while we're hiding here..."

"The chaotic black mist is enveloping us; we are all just sitting here waiting to die, with no room for struggle."

"How about this!"

As he spoke, Tarlov's projection looked at the mirage projection of Sentak.

"Wait a while, I will gather everyone to discuss this. Those who wish to remain in the Chaotic Ecological Small World may do so."

"Those who want to leave can leave; they are free to leave."

What do you think?

Tucker nodded.

"Naturally, we should follow the opinions of everyone."

"However, we need to decide as soon as possible, since no one knows when the Corridor of the Dead Bone Ground will open."

"A demigod from the Green Star Clan could descend at any moment."

…………

Chaotic Ecological Mini-World No. 1.

Tucker quietly sensed the ecological cycle of the surrounding chaotic steam and the chaotic crystal walls of the small world.

Tucker conducted his own ecological research without telling anyone.

after all!

Hidden within this is a truly astonishing secret.

It's more astonishing than any of Tucker's previous secrets.

Tucker's chaotic vapor ecosystem can cycle with the chaotic crystal wall ecosystem of the small world, which is something that is very worthy of study.

therefore!

We will inevitably have to stay in this dead land of the ancient gods of Etia for quite some time.

One aspect is its ability to resist the erosion of the "chaotic black mist".

Drawing upon such powerful "crystal wall defenses" or even constructing one's own "crystal wall master mode" is the very direction that Tucker is researching.

Whether it's research on the steam ecological cycle or research on the crystal wall states of Tucker itself.

These are all tough challenges that will take a lot of time to overcome.

Regardless of what others plan.

Tucker's decision was to thoroughly understand the crystal wall ecosystem of this chaotic microcosm.

Until they are no longer afraid of the chaotic black mist!
