160: Chapter 160 The Wizard Merlin, Freezing

After watching Wizard Merlin leave, Jingling asked.

"Daoist Tianxin, what do you think of their wizard system? Is it possible for this Wizard Merlin to succeed?"

"From what I've gathered here over the past few days, wizards focus on mental visualization and solidifying spell models to cast various spells. The principles of their system are quite good.

However, without the cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit combined—much like the martial arts system—it lacks the spirit attribute, which leads to varying degrees of flaws.

It is likely far inferior to Master's system."

"Indeed! Master's ability to combine essence, energy, and spirit into mana, and to create Vital Qi, is not something an ordinary person can achieve. Others can only succeed by mastering one or two of these aspects."

The next day, the entire array domain where the Supernatural University is located was stirred into a frenzy.

Massive amounts of Vital Qi gathered toward a central practice room, and the imagery of a fire path manifested.

Lu Tianxin restrained his aura and watched this scene of promotion.

"Unlike Master's [Heavenly Fire], which focuses on illuminating with light and nourishing all things, this wizard's manifestation carries a sense of violence and burning!"

Somewhere on the outskirts of the array domain, the Star Beast Vulture was hiding. Seeing the dense principles of law and fire-type imagery, a flash of greed and longing crossed its eyes.

It then looked toward a direction that made it feel a sense of threat.

Remembering the rain that was so cold it nearly froze its thoughts, and the silver-white blade light that still left its spirit faintly burning with pain to this day, it felt extreme resentment, and even a hint of fear.

However, after recalling another ability it had mastered, it regained its confidence and felt assured, looking forward to the promotion of this Transcendent Life.

Inside the central practice room, Wizard Merlin was using his mental power to engrave a first-ring [Fire—Energy] spell model in his mind.

He also used his magic wand, a magical artifact crafted from fire-date wood spiritual plants that had been continuously nurtured by his mental power, to receive the gathering fire path imagery.

One could see patterns of the imagery of heaven and earth laws attaching themselves to the artifact, engraving into its core.

This is a type of external Dao foundation refined by heaven and earth.

When the sunlight reached its zenith and the ambient temperature hit its peak, Wizard Merlin finally finished engraving the spell model.

At the same moment, this first-ring [Fire—Energy] spell model resonated with the wand.

"Hum~"

Instantly, the fire path imagery laws on the wand were activated. The wand simultaneously promoted to a first-tier low-grade magical artifact, with 12 fire path runes condensed inside it.

It turned into a streak of firelight that entered Wizard Merlin's brain, breathing in unison with the first-ring [Fire—Energy] spell model.

At the same time, massive amounts of Vital Qi began to surge into his body, where the spell model extracted his mental power to refine a drop of fire magic.

At this moment, a ripple of fire path laws spread out, and the Vital Qi near Wizard Merlin was converted into fire-elemental Vital Qi by the laws.

Wizard Merlin felt his changes with joy.

"Hahaha! I am also a Transcendent Life now."

He wanted to share his joy with others, but since this was a critical moment, he was in no rush to go out.

It wouldn't be too late to go out after waiting for the fire magic to transform his body and forge a Transcendent body.

The Star Beast Vulture, sensing that the promotion had succeeded, opened its beak and aimed at the center where the law ripples were coming from.

It spat out an energy breath, instantly piercing through the first-tier level 1 array domain defense, though most of its power was neutralized by the array.

This breath shot in a straight line toward Wizard Merlin in the center of the practice room, but fortunately, the room was large enough that it didn't actually hit him.

However, this energy breath disrupted the energy environment of the practice room, making it unrealistic to continue absorbing energy quietly to accelerate the forging of the Transcendent body.

Immediately, Wizard Merlin proactively activated his spell model's innate ability, [Fire Energy Field]. The originally invisible energy field was dyed a fiery red, becoming more solid and sturdy.

Lu Tianxin, who observed the attack from not far away, used a communication artifact to notify the Transcendent beings and his Master in the nearby countries to come and capture or kill this Star Beast.

He then took out the low-grade [Azure Thunder Mountain Stream Dharma Sword], activated its paralysis control effect, and struck with a thunder sword slash in the direction from which the energy breath had come.

At the same time, he invoked the power of the local array domain to protect himself.

After Wizard Merlin successfully promoted to a Transcendent Life, the main body still in the Blessed Land immediately sensed it. The original Transcendent Dao Tree, which had one main trunk and two branches, had now grown another branch. It appeared fire-red, and the fire path laws were manifested within it.

At the same time, regarding the fire path laws, the concepts of burning and energy were added to those of light and illumination. For a time, the two branches representing fire grew even more vigorously.

Wang An's main body opened his eyes, and his spirit, which suppressed heaven and earth, flashed through the entire Blessed Land and vanished, as he muttered.

"Wizard"

Immediately, the Incarnation busy setting up the array domain in the Qinling Mountains stopped what he was doing and took out a flying boat artifact crafted from a medium-grade [Evil-Warding Thunder Bamboo].

Stepping onto the artifact, he rapidly ascended, quickly raised a force field, and turned into a streak of thunderous light, rushing toward Lu Tianxin's location.

This artifact was the [Pikong Thunder Boat], composed of 66 thunder, spatial, and evil-warding law runes.

It could activate the thunder of evil-warding to condense a thunder-path force field, and was best at splitting the air to move at extreme speeds, with a maximum speed of around 10 times the speed of sound.

When the [Pikong Thunder Boat] traveled at high speed in the air, because it used a force field to part the air in advance, there was no impact resistance, making it very quiet. Unless someone was paying special attention or was a Transcendent being, it was unlikely to be observed.

Therefore, the disciples further constructing the basic array domain deep in the Qinling Mountains could only vaguely catch a glimpse of thunderous light flashing across the sky.

Just as the Incarnation set off, the battle here at Lu Tianxin's location had already begun.

As the thunder sword slash arrived, the Star Beast Vulture immediately took off to dodge it, even firing continuously with energy breaths.

Lu Tianxin, gripping the [Azure Thunder Mountain Stream Dharma Sword] and wearing a cyan dharma robe, stood high in the sky. Around him, a blue-white [Mountain Stream Force Field] swirled, resisting the energy breaths that had been weakened layer by layer by the array domain.

Wizard Merlin had also reacted by this time, stepping out of the practice room and using his mental power to investigate the direction from which the attack came.

However, neither side could do anything to the other as of now. When the Star Beast Vulture saw this situation and was about to retreat, Lu Tianxin immediately activated the Divine Ability Talisman in his hand.

Under the influence of this, endless water vapor in the entire environment gathered, turning into cold rain that covered a radius of 10 miles, falling densely from the sky.

Relying solely on its biological force field, the Star Beast Vulture was completely unable to dodge this divine water. It immediately felt its body stiffen, the energy flow within its body became extremely sluggish, and its thoughts seemed to gradually stop.

Seeing that they had taken down this vulture-shaped Star Beast so easily, Merlin looked astonished.

"Daoist Tianxin is truly a worthy disciple of True Person Tianhe; your divine ability is extraordinary. By capturing this Star Beast today, our human civilization can have peace for a period of time."

Although Lu Tianxin felt it was a bit too easy, upon thinking that this was his Master's divine ability, he felt it was normal. Otherwise, how had they previously managed to freeze the massive body of the Star Beast according to the divine ability?

The two waited for a while, even attacking with spells a few times, but all were defended against by its biological force field.

When they were sure that its thoughts had been frozen and its abilities sealed, and they wanted to leave the array domain to capture this Star Beast...

Just as Wizard Merlin stepped out of the array domain range, the Star Beast Vulture's previously dull bird eyes suddenly turned.

A mass of scorching energy magma rose in its chest, and a high-energy breath attacked Wizard Merlin.
