Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death.

Chapter 677 Sahara, Sacred Wood Well (Seeking monthly votes!!!)

Just as Shaka once commented, Xu Fang is not someone who is easily persuaded.

That makes sense. Let's be reasonable.

If it doesn't make sense, then I'm too lazy to reason with you; you're not worthy to listen.

Xu Fang dismissed the so-called balance and demons that the Southern Emperor claimed would contribute to human peace and stability as utter nonsense.

Stablize?

Is stability always a good thing?

If that's the case, then humanity should still be in a feudal or even slave society!

That's what you call stability. Ordinary people only need to serve the nobles like slaves for their entire lives, find solace in religion, work diligently all their lives, and after death, they are like wild beasts, forgotten by everyone.

Why bother uttering the question, "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

"Perhaps you are right. Killing you would indeed disrupt the existing order."

Xu Fang said calmly, "But after the turmoil, humanity will surely have a more peaceful world—for that day, you must die!"

The chirping of birds echoed throughout Antarctica, and the radiant shadow of the totem dragon-bird, which blotted out the sun, swallowed up the southernmost emperor until it disappeared completely.

Xu Fang transformed the immense demonic power of the Southern Emperor into his essence, which he then infused into his spiritual world.

The Rooftop Emperor, two of them have already been destroyed!

The last one... Xu Fang opened the spatial gate.

Deep in the Sahara Desert, on the distant African continent.

The sun hung high in the azure sky, almost unobstructed by any clouds, its rays pouring down without reservation, turning the desert into a dazzling golden hue.

The sand dunes stretch endlessly, undulating like ocean waves, each grain of sand seemingly shimmering with golden light under the sunlight, creating a feeling that is both illusory and real.

whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~

Time seemed to have lost its meaning; only the wind was the eternal ruler of this place.

Yellow sand filled the sky, obscuring the sun.

Xu Fang stood in the desert, squinting as he surveyed the distance.

On the other side of the distant horizon, the distant horizon begins to blur, and a thin layer of yellow sand gradually rises.

In an instant, the thin mist rapidly expanded, becoming dense and thick.

The sky changed color rapidly, from azure to grayish-yellow, and then to a chaotic dark yellow.

The sun was obscured by thick dust, its light dim and blurry, as if the whole world was shrouded in an apocalyptic atmosphere.

The air was filled with the smell of sand, and every breath felt like swallowing tiny grains of sand.

When they approached Xu Fang, they were split into two parts and pushed away.

Waaaaah!!

As the storm approached, the sand grains arranged themselves in an extremely precise and bizarre way.

At first, it was just a blurry outline, but as the sandstorm intensified, the outline gradually became clearer until finally, a terrifying human face appeared on the horizon!

"Xu Fang." The face uttered two words, even in Chinese.

"The Emperor of the Sahara," Xu Fang also said.

There's not much to say, and there's no need to preach any grand principles.

Both sides knew that at this point, there was no chance of negotiation; it was a fight to the death!

Ho ho ho! ! !

The sandstorm suddenly swelled, pulling Xu Fang directly into its attack range. Every grain of sand transformed into a sharp blade, cutting through the air and Xu Fang's body.

For Xu Fang, the threat posed by the Sahara Emperor was greater than that of Leng Dayan and the Southern Emperor.

It is practically immortal in the Sahara; the endless sea of ​​sand allows it to regenerate, revive, and replenish its energy indefinitely.

Xu Fang possessed elemental origins, but the Sahara Emperor astutely discovered this as well, and all his attacks became physical attacks!

Each grain of sand seemed to contain immense power, enough to kill a novice mage on the spot!

"Light Mist!" Xu Fang swept his fingertip across the sky above, leaving a trail that resembled a rainbow.

Beyond the sandstorm, the scorching sun shone down on it without any blind spots, and the original brightness gradually blurred and swayed, eventually forming fog that enveloped an even larger area around the sandstorm!

The light mist seeped in, like a living thing, penetrating every corner of the sandstorm, dancing and wandering with the sand grains!

"Ice Freeze," Xu Fang said calmly.

Click, click...

In the sea of ​​light, the temperature plummeted, and a chilling cold began to permeate the air. The light mist from before began to condense into ice crystals without warning!

The sand grains in the sandstorm, upon contact with these ice crystals, no longer fly wildly, but are bound by the coldness and suction of the ice crystals, and fall heavily to the ground.

Rows of icy blue sand dunes stand on the ground, like fish bones stuck in the throat of a sandstorm.

"roar!!!"

The Sahara Emperor roared, and more sandstorms were converging in this direction, soon exceeding the total amount controlled by Xu Fang!

The sand and dust reorganized, reformed, and recast in the sky, quickly forming a golden palace-like wasteland floating in the air!

It looks like it's made of pure gold, yet it exudes an eerie, desolate aura.

Surrounding the palace are low, golden sand dunes and dilapidated towers, which complement the main building and create a complete cityscape.

It's very similar to the Sand Kingdom that Mo Fan used, but it's not on the same level in terms of power or destructive force.

With a thought, the Sahara Emperor caused the desert city to undergo a dramatic transformation, turning into a magnificent guillotine, a thousand meters tall.

"die!"

"The Sahara Emperor said coldly."

The guillotine fell suddenly.

Xu Fang's ice wall was instantly cleaved in two, and the sword light was even able to reach hundreds of kilometers away, cutting Xu Fang and this area of ​​land into an abyss!

However, the longsword did not fall.

The ice wall that had just been severed now mysteriously re-condensed, wedging the desert guillotine inside!

"water."

The ice wall began to melt, but not in the ordinary way as it melted into water droplets; instead, it transformed into trickles of water that gently seeped into the desert guillotine.

The originally dry sand began to become moist, and its color became darker.

However, this was only the beginning of the change.

The damp sand began to recrystallize, becoming indistinguishable from the desert guillotine, and even starting to dominate it!

"roar!"

The Sahara Emperor's brute strength far surpassed Xu Fang's. He fiercely struggled, preparing to snatch the icy desert guillotine, when suddenly he felt something on the guillotine's surface...

Rhythm?

"Sonic boom."

Bang! ! !

The ice transformed into sound, and the sound waves, carrying destructive power, instantly spread throughout the entire desert guillotine.

With a deafening roar, the desert guillotine was instantly blasted into pieces, fragments flying everywhere in the air, accompanied by a cloud of sand.

The Sahara Emperor was completely unprepared for this situation and was injured by an attack that was his own power.

With a flick of his wrist, countless purple seeds were found between his fingers, which he accurately flicked to various locations around the Sahara Emperor.

Growth!

Reproduction!

The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree greedily absorbed the omnipresent elemental power in the air at an astonishing speed, imprisoning a part of the Sahara Emperor's body within a plant cage.

"chaos!"

Chaotic surfaces, endless and densely packed, appeared around the Sahara Emperor.

If the void is like a whale, then the chaotic surfaces are like barnacles clinging to its body, only more terrifying and horrifying!

Countless purple vines grew, completely enveloping the Sahara Emperor.

"asshole!"

The Sahara Emperor clearly realized that Xu Fang was actually trying to sever his connection with the desert using the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Divine Tree!

boom!!!

boom!!!

The Sahara Emperor's enormous body crashed repeatedly into the Heavenly Crown Prison, each impact accompanied by an earth-shaking roar and billowing dust.

Cracks began to appear in the plant cage, vines broke off one by one, and thorns fell off one by one.

"Parasitic spores!"

Countless plant tumors grew on the Divine Vine of the Purple Tilia, and clumps of spores were sprayed out and mixed into the wind and sand.

boom!

Finally, after an even more violent impact, the plant cage collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of scattered vines and thorns, no longer able to confine this rooftop emperor.

"Roar!" The Sahara Emperor was about to roar wildly, but he still felt the feeling of being drained!

Light is the best nutrient for parasitic spores.

There seems to be a communication mechanism between the spores; they attract and connect with each other by releasing specific magical signals.

Whether attached to the surface of sand grains or penetrating deep into the sand layer, spores expand their territory at an astonishing rate.

Each spore is like a node in a network, connected to other spores through hair-thin hyphae or mucus-like substances, gradually building a vast and complex network!

"Heavenly Crown Purple Linden!"

It's growing like crazy!

Under the blazing sunlight, the rampant growth of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Tree was unstoppable, and every struggle of the Sahara Emperor seemed to provide the spores with more living space and resources.

hum! ! !

The Sahara Emperor finally couldn't hold back any longer and unleashed a violent divine light at Xu Fang, gathering his demonic power.

Undoubtedly, being forced back to a harmless elemental form by the origin point not only failed to kill the human, but almost put himself in danger again!

"Roar!!!" To Xu Fang's surprise, the Sahara Emperor actually turned around and ran away.

Half the sky was covered in yellow sand, making it impossible to see with the naked eye which road it was taking.

But spores are different.

Xu Fang chased after the direction in which the spores released the signal, and after crossing the endless yellow sand, an oasis suddenly appeared in his sight.

The desert was hot, but the moment Xu Fang saw the oasis, a refreshing coolness washed over him.

No, it's not refreshing.

Xu Fang keenly sensed the difference in his senses.

This is a chilling cold, a chilling cold that seeps into the soul!

A strong sense of danger instantly swept over Xu Fang. He turned around and was about to leave without hesitation, but the oasis grew even faster!

The sand beneath his feet began to soften and become moist, and the originally glaring yellow sand was gradually covered by patches of lush green vegetation.

As if imbued with consciousness, the branches and leaves of the trees swayed gently, weaving a dense, impenetrable net that gently yet resolutely drew Xu Fang into it.

Flowers bloom in profusion on the branches, emitting a strange fragrance that is both intoxicating and unsettling.

The vines twined around, like flexible tentacles, silently climbing up Xu Fang's ankles, both a constraint and an invitation.

He felt as if he had been swept into an unknown world, a strange space dominated by the forces of nature.

Far away, the Sahara Emperor let out a mocking laugh; its body was now half the size of its former self.

"Foolish humans," the Sahara emperor sneered, "finish your miserable lives in this hell!"

This oasis is an absolute forbidden zone that even it dares not touch.

In order to successfully lure Xu Fang there, the Sahara Emperor did not hesitate to sever half of his own body and suffer severe damage to his very essence in order to achieve his goal!

At present, its strength is only that of a ruler or emperor. If the Sandstorm Wraith King from the north were to take the opportunity to attack, it would be in danger.

But it was all worth it!

As long as we can kill this dangerous human!

The Sahara Desert is where Xu Fang met his end. The majesty of the emperor on the rooftop will not be allowed to be defiled by anyone!

It didn't work a thousand years ago, and it won't work now.

It won't work for the next thousand or ten thousand years!

······

In the oasis.

Xu Fang tried to jump out using the spatial portal, but failed. The strangeness of this place far exceeded his expectations.

"Shenmu Well," Xu Fang read out the three words.

Moreover, it wasn't the small sapling Zhao Jing used, but the real Shenmu Well!

Xu Fang never expected that Shenmu Well was actually hidden in the boundless Sahara Desert, and that he had actually stumbled upon it!

"Hello, interesting humans."

The surrounding vines and flowers seemed to be greeting Xu Fang, their voices clear and full of energy, like the little girl NPC with the voice that's essential in horror movies.

The twisted patterns on the tree trunk resembled fake smiling faces.

"Hello," Xu Fang said.

"You're finally here! Everyone's been waiting for you!" The voice was cheerful, but the words themselves were anything but cheerful.

What are you waiting for me to do? Lie on a slab at the bottom of the well together?

Xu Fang looked around and saw that there were more and more masks, almost like heads.

The Divine Wood Well refreshed his understanding of this plane. He originally thought he was invincible, but he never expected that there was such a being.

That endless sense of oppression was even more powerful than the Eye of Time and Space back then!

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to us."

"We just want you to look down and see what your future looks like," a clear, cheerful child's voice said.

The surrounding forest grew even denser, and at first glance it looked like an old well with moss-covered walls, and looking up you could only see a small patch of sky.

And lowered his head...

Xu Fang took a step forward and looked down into the well.

He saw himself, pale-faced and with a strange expression.

Xu Fang smiled, and his reflection also grinned slightly, making the same eerie, fake smile as the mask he had made before!

Extremely terrifying!

It's like the nightmare countless people have when they look in the mirror: when you turn around, the person in the mirror doesn't move; instead, they tilt their head and reveal a sinister grin...

Xu Fang wasn't afraid. He was quite calm now, and even began to appreciate his own death.

His eyes were wide open, his pupils lost their luster, and his expression showed extreme fear, like that of a small animal that had been tortured and killed.

"Is this the way you designed my death?" Xu Fang asked.

"This is your end." The voice spoke again: "How you die is up to you; the Sacred Wood Well merely reflects your fate."

"oh."

Xu Fang said calmly, "I don't believe it."

Why?

"How I die is entirely up to me. I will not believe anyone else's predictions, let alone a well."

A holy golden luster began to appear in Xu Fang's eyes:

"Furthermore, I will absolutely not leave my soul here to decay and become a wax figure in the eyes of the next visitor!"

"Show your true colors."

"I'd like to see just what this legendary Sacred Wood Well is all about!"
