The Era of Gods-Chapter 684: Mistaken for the Sealer of the Nightmare World

Further away, Biphosphorus let out a terrified scream:

"How is this possible? I clearly summoned the Ancient Destroyer. How could these old monsters appear? This can’t be happening!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The Black Gold Tree Emperor, Vor, decisively ordered the legion to retreat, while he himself dispersed his massive body, transforming several thick roots into drill-like shapes that burrowed into the ground. He planned to escape underground, leaving his subordinates behind without a second thought.

As a seasoned Rank 7 powerhouse, he had certainly heard of the notoriety of the Nightmare World, that vast world with dozens of Rank 8 powerhouses, including over ten late-stage to peak Rank 8 Disaster Lords. Even more so, thousands of years ago, there was a Disaster Lord from one of the traditional Wizard System worlds who ascended to become the Ancestor of Time Ring, adding to the depth of that world.

Such a powerful world was beyond their ability to resist, and he didn’t even have the courage to look at it directly, fearing he might be targeted by that terrifying existence that had not yet entered this world.

In contrast to their decisive retreat, the many wizards inside the seven-layered fortress fell into despair upon hearing that he might be from that terrifying world called the Nightmare, all of them applying to the Fortress Command to open the Transport Sorcerer Array and leave this dangerous world behind, even ignoring the distant Wizard Alliance Army at this point.

The commanders of the fortress were likewise shocked, but unlike the lower-level wizards whose spirits were filled with fear upon hearing this news, they were horrified for a different reason....

This enormous golden head seemed strikingly familiar to them...

The wizards in the Fortress Command were all top-tier Rank 5 and 6 wizards, each a high-ranking member of their powerful factions. The Mushroom Men had never seen this Guardian of the Wizard World, but of course, they recognized Lin Xiao, the newly appointed Witch King, and knew what he looked like.

But at this moment, they still couldn’t believe what they were seeing was real; after all, the scene in front of them was far too shocking, and much different from what they had imagined.

In their minds, Lin Xiao was only Rank 7, but now, what appeared before them was an existence comparable to the terrible Sealers of the Nightmare World that could instill fear in all realms. The discrepancy was so vast that they couldn’t believe it.

But while power can change, the essence does not. The aura of the Guardian native to their world was unmistakable, so no matter how shocked and incredulous they were, the fact remained that this Tongtian golden titan trying hard to tear through the space and enter the Fungus World was indeed their Guardian.

Many wizards felt that today was the most courageous day of their lives, as they forced themselves to suppress their overwhelming fear and stay behind.

"Rip!"

Lin Xiao grasped the spatial rift with both hands and tore it open again with force, resisting the suppression from the will of the Fungus World and widening the crack in the space once more.

He looked up at the sky and sneered,

"Did you think this could stop me?"

Golden skin adorned with countless mysterious runes, his aura surged, resolutely facing the omnipresent pressure from between Earth and the Vault of Heaven. He slowly pulled his massive golden body through the crack, captivating the multitude of wizards within the seven-layered fortress with the sight.

Slowly, yet resolutely.

The more the divine golden body covered in dizzying mysterious runes emerged, the stronger the aura he emitted. The world’s will of the Mushroom People couldn’t suppress him at all. Moreover, as more of his body crawled out, the more power he could wield. He could even use his own strength to forcibly dispel the Mushroom World’s will’s grasp on this world, stripping the local control of the world’s will over the surrounding area.

Within less than an hour, his upper body had already emerged, forcefully dispersing the will in the void and forming a colorful aura with a diameter of over twenty kilometers.

At this moment, a dark pall cast over a thousand kilometers around, as violent energies converged in this place. The sky turned oppressively dark, with huge blood-red lightning bolts periodically coalescing and striking into the colorful aura, attempting to dissolve its range forcefully.

The multitude of wizards inside the seven-layered fortress looked dumbfounded at this unprecedented scene, their thoughts varied.

Meanwhile, on the vast plains at the center of the remote Mushroom World, the War had ended, and the Mushroom Men had retreated. However, none of the wizards bore a trace of joy. All Dawn Wizards of Rank 4 and above stared in unison towards the direction of the seven-layered fortress. At this very moment, their senses alerted them of a terrifying presence emerging into this world without any attempt at concealment.

The majority of wizards had grim expressions, as the tide of battle was already in deficit, and now an unknown and fearsome presence was descending; they worried for their Destiny ahead.

The three leading Child of the Spirit Realm powerhouses clenched the True Nether Mirror with grim faces like dark water. The Child of the Spirit Realm from the seven-layered fortress relayed terrible news to them; the person descending was none other than the current Witch King, Lin Xiao. Even more shockingly as if struck by thunder, many Child of the Spirit Realm who stayed at the fortress told them through the True Nether Mirror, that Lin Xiao had already condensed a second True Body.

Having descended to the Wizard World for hundreds of thousands of years and present in many worlds, the Child of the Spirit Realm, with their vast experience and knowledge, knew all too well what condensing a second True Body meant. It was a force completely beyond their capacity to resist.

"What do we do?"

Jacob asked the two other leaders through the True Nether Mirror. Even with his fearless nature, he was now filled with trepidation and at a loss for what to do next.

Marsha and Eugene remained silent, with no solution to offer.

"Silence won’t solve the problem,"

Eugene removed his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped them gently before saying,

"I have a proposal. Hear me out first."

"Let’s hear it."

"Negotiate with the Mushroom Men, make a deal to help them expel that... Nightmare Sealer from this world before it fully enters, in exchange for allowing us to leave."

Both fell silent for a moment, then Jacob said:

"Doing this means we’ll have to give up everything in the Wizard World and leave."

Eugene chuckled:

"Do you even dare to go back?"

Jacob and Marsha remained silent.

He continued:

"Even if we leave, he will continue to hunt us down. Therefore, I propose that after leaving the Wizard World, we go to the higher council’s world through the council channels. There, with several Rank 8 powerhouses and more than a dozen Rank 7 powerhouses, he can be stopped, and with our strength, we can also be of great use there. Although it’s not as glorious as monopolizing a world, it’s not bad either."

He paused to let his companions digest the news, then after a short while, Eugene urged:

"Make a decision quickly. If we wait until he fully enters this world, it’ll be too late to do anything."

"Then we’ll do as you say, you go contact the Mushroom Men’s Leader!"

"Wait for my message!"

Five minutes later, the three, in the name of the Guardians, ordered the troops to stay put and prepared the Super Large Transfer Witch Array. They left the main camp under the pretext of investigating the unknown and terrifying entity that was about to descend.

In the Seventh Level Fortress, Lin Xiao’s upper body had already emerged from the spatial rift. The suppression by the World Will of the Fungus World was growing stronger, but as the power he could wield increased, the suppression felt less and less significant to him. Barring unexpected events, it wouldn’t be long before he could fully bring his True Body into this world.

But the Fungus World would certainly not allow him to enter so easily. About two hours into his forcible entry into the world, Lin Xiao suddenly looked up to see the blood-colored Lightning that had been bombarding him from the Vault of Heaven come to a halt. Then, under the constraint of an invisible force, it merged into a super blood-colored Lightning bolt with a diameter of over ten meters and a length of a few thousand meters, crashing down thunderously.

The colorful Aura was pierced and ripped by the spear of blood-colored Lightning, slowly but resolutely targeting the Golden Giant God’s forehead.

"I was beginning to think you wouldn’t dare to come!"

The Golden Giant God’s colossal face showed a hint of mockery as its gigantic golden arm lifted in a forward press.

Centered around its massive Golden Giant Palm, space visibly sank, like a thin membrane being pushed down by an enormous force, and within the Seventh Level Fortress, the vision of the witches was distorted as they saw the space within a radius of over ten kilometers sinking.

The super blood-colored Lightning rapidly pierced through the Aura force field, heading straight for the Golden Giant Palm. When only a few hundred meters away from each other, the velocity of the blood-colored Lightning sharply decreased, becoming slower and slower, until completely halting a hundred meters away from the palm’s center, trembling violently as if suspended in water.

"Bang!"

The super blood-colored Lightning, after shaking intensely for a few seconds, exploded, turning into a blood ring that expanded and was forcibly suppressed by an invisible force in just a second, vanishing as quickly as a bubble in transparent glue popping.

At that moment, four figures emitting powerful auras had appeared in the sky and on Earth, unbeknownst to many. The Black Gold Tree Emperor, Wal, had once again incarnated into the towering Tree Giant, standing upon the Earth.

Lin Xiao looked up at the Vault of Heaven, his gaze landing on a figure at the center, bathed in the most profound patronage of the World Clan, also the most powerful among them, shrouded in endless light.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his powerful gaze piercing through the protective light to see a petite figure not unlike Biphosphorus, albeit with an insect-like head that was rather off-putting.

The sharp voice of the Mushroom Men World Guardian, a relative of Biphosphorus, sounded directly in Lin Xiao’s ears:

"To the formidable stranger from Nightmare World, the world of the Mushroom Men does not welcome your arrival!"

"Nightmare World?"

Lin Xiao, who was struggling to widen the spatial rift, was momentarily stunned by the term, then swiftly realized they were referring to him and found it amusing; they actually thought he was the Sealer from Nightmare World.

But indeed, his second True Body’s strength was comparable to most of the Sealers from the Nightmare World, and even more powerful than many of the accepted Disaster Lords of the Nightmare World.

He had only recently ascended. If he had more time, like the Sealers or the Disaster Lords of the Nightmare World, he could comprehend and master rules unique to himself, his strength would undoubtedly soar, no less than the most powerful Disaster Lord or Sealer.
