Mage Manual
Chapter 1607 - 1180: Forging Swords
In the Heavenly Kingdom of Souls, all the Water Magic Wonders are placed in the ocean where the bottom-dwelling fish reside, miscellaneous wonders are on the continent on the fish’s back in the second layer, and only one Wonder is placed on the Ruby Mountain on the bull’s back.
The small Substitute Technique Spirit, familiar with the path, climbed up Ruby Mountain, leading the way like a lackey, and beckoned the confused Heart Sword Divine Being to follow. At the pinnacle of Ruby Mountain was an iron throne encrusted with countless blades. The Substitute Technique Spirit flew over and sat on the throne, patting the side as if inviting the Heart Sword Divine Being to sit beside it.
At this moment, the Heart Sword Divine Being suddenly understood, and with a slap, sent the Substitute Technique Spirit flying, then sat down heavily, planting a sword taller than itself into the ground. The authority of the Law radiated from the iron throne to every inch of the six-layer continent, and all the swordsmanship Technique Spirits prostrated themselves, offering their loyalty to the Heavenly Kingdom’s first Divine Being King!
The Heart Sword Divine Being, mastering the Wonder!
The Mirror Demon casually waved its hands, with sword blades tracing one ink moon after another. Previously completely unable to resist the soul pressure of the Eternal Wonder’s Sword Trace, now it could barely counteract and weaken the Divine Lords’ magical attacks. Under the precise control of the Mirror Demon, the ink moon Sword Trace slowly launched a counterattack, expanding the safe zone from within a sword’s distance to ten steps.
In a Magic Storm capable of flattening the Senluo Kingdom several times over, the Mirror Demon carved out a pure land ten steps wide, where neither wind nor rain could enter, countering the supreme divine power with its own strength!
But even the Mirror Demon could only stop at a ten-step limit.
Even though the "Heart Hunting Throne" ascended to a Heavenly Position Wonder as the Heart Sword Divine Being progressed, ordinary Heavenly Position Wonders still struggled against the Eternal Wonder... Speaking of which, the name given by the Youmo is really unpleasant. Now that it’s ascended to a Heavenly Position Wonder, let’s rename it to "Heart Hunting Sovereignty".
If the Youmo had put in a bit of effort, even just summoning a soul Divine Being, I wouldn’t be so stretched thin. It’s been years since I fought in such impoverished conditions... But the Youmo has always been so perfunctory. Ever since the road ahead became invisible, she lost her spirit and resigned herself to degeneration, no different from indulging in pleasure and surviving like the La La Fei.
But now, am I qualified to criticize her?
The Mirror Demon indulged in boundless thoughts, but the speed of its sword-wielding grew faster and faster, an endless stream of ink moons slashed through the storm, carving out a brief clear path. It stomped heavily on the ground without leaving any footprints in the soil, converting all energy into kinetic energy under divine control, and like a ghost, it crossed a hundred meters in moments, suddenly appearing before the Extreme Master of Blood Moon!
Divine power circulating!
While moving, it perfectly utilized the reaction force of the environment, air resistance, and ground friction, transforming all vectors into its kinetic energy, achieving a speed as miraculous as a divine wonder, as if instant teleportation over short distances!
The Imaginary Music Master watched with twitching eyebrows; the divine power circulation was a pinnacle technique of the Fist Claw Faction, one that not even most angelic demigods specializing in Fist Claw may master. Surprisingly, he wasn’t very shocked by this.
Facing a creature capable of summoning Divine Beings amid battle, the Imaginary Music Master sensed that today’s war would reshape everyone’s worldview.
Compared to the calm of the Imaginary Music Master, the Extreme Master of Blood Moon was outraged and terrified. He never expected to become the first target—someone actually considered him the soft target to be prioritized!
Among the six Divine Lords, apart from Dazzling Star, he was the most seasoned. Even Dazzling Star became prominent only decades before him; in reality, they were contemporaries of two Divine Lords! The dual sovereignty of Blood Moon and Dazzling Star had reigned over the world for thousands of years, mercilessly crushing Mages who dared enter Heaven. The Ghost Prophet lived under the dominance of Blood Moon and Dazzling Star for a millennium until she perished, only to be succeeded by the Divine Lord of Infinite Abyss, breaking the dual dominance.
So, before Dazzling Star and Blood Moon, was there no Divine Lord in Heaven?
Due to the lengthy dual reign of Blood Moon and Dazzling Star, and their habit of eradicating roots, past history had long been buried in the Golden River; however, many believed that before Dazzling Star stepped into Heaven, there was a Divine Lord. But after Blood Moon entered Heaven, there were only two Divine Lords!
Now Dazzling Star ascended to the seventh layer of the Void Realm achieving the Supreme of Magic, and the Extreme Master of Blood Moon naturally considered himself the first Divine Lord. Besides, the Imaginary Music Master was indecisive, the All-knowing Weaver cautious, and the Lord of Infinite Abyss a hollow being; the Extreme Master of Blood Moon surveyed his surroundings and couldn’t help but sigh that no one was as worthy to compete with Supreme Dazzling Star as himself.
But now, he found himself considered among the three Divine Lords as the low-risk target to be dealt with first?
As blood and ink moons clashed, four World Secret Domains trembled simultaneously, and even Female Mages far from the battlefield felt their scalps tingle, unable to fathom what kind of horrific scene lay inside the Magic Storm!
The All-knowing Weaver and the Imaginary Music Master naturally paid no heed to any knightly spirit, immediately adjusting their combat strategies to coordinate with the Extreme Master of Blood Moon, launching a continuous offensive. It would be even better if both Ash and the Extreme Master of Blood Moon suffered mutual injuries. This time, the Extreme Master of Blood Moon was truly provoked into a rage, caring not for the watchful eyes of the All-knowing and the Imaginary, burning his split consciousness recklessly, draping an entire mountain of corpses and sea of blood upon himself to unleash the six-winged power of the Eternal Wonder, vowing to crush Ash’s arrogance!
Yet the Extreme Master of Blood Moon did not face a do-or-die blood battle, as the Mirror Demon turned towards the Imaginary Music Master after exchanging a few moves, ignoring relentless pursuit. The Extreme Master of Blood Moon swiftly regained composure, lowered his mind’s effectiveness, allowing the Mirror Demon to entangle the Imaginary Music Master—he hadn’t forgotten that a second phase of battles awaited, and conserving strength now meant an early withdrawal later.
Anyone entangled by Ash would expend more mental energy, and the Extreme Master of Blood Moon relished in others’ misfortune. As for whether Ash could turn the tables miraculously, it was not a concern—in his view, they weren’t even on the same level.
Without a World Secret Domain, without an Eternal Wonder, without a singular Wonder, Ash couldn’t even breach their defenses. No matter how miraculous Ash seemed, at best, he could prolong the war into a battle of attrition, but in terms of attrition, how could he compare to the Divine Lords holding the World Secret Domain?
The reason the Eternal Wonder is called eternal is that once it enters a cycle, it can run indefinitely without any resources!
The Imaginary Music Master shared a similar thought, and when Ash charged towards the All-knowing Weaver, he likewise reduced his cognitive efficiency. The only one feeling uneasy was the All-knowing Weaver. As a lookout atop the Prophetic Faction, her intuition frantically alerted her—Ash was not in a desperate struggle; he truly had a way to turn the tide!
But the All-knowing Weaver couldn’t convince the Imaginary and Blood Moon to give it their all, as she couldn’t even convince herself!
In such a hopeless predicament, what opportunity was Ash seeking?
Delaying until their split consciousness exhausted? Waiting for the Supreme Council of Stars to send in an Angel to save the day? Or had someone inherited Lord Senluo’s legacy, piercing through Senluo’s night sky like an exploding supernova?
But nothing happened as expected; the Mirror Demon paused after a few rounds with the All-knowing Weaver, returning to its previous defensive stance, no longer attacking. The attack on three Divine Lords seemed both impulsive and like...
Preparations before the hunt.
"It’s time to end this." The Mirror Demon suddenly spoke, "Since there are three Divine Lords, let me forge...
"three swords for you."
