Boom! Boom!

The deafening sounds of incantation beams, plasma cannons, and pulse rays tearing through the void filled the air!

The multi-colored flashes of magic illuminated the sky as they rained down on the divine abomination from all directions.

The major wizard factions had united in an unprecedented assault.

However, even so, they could not suppress the divine abomination.

The mist surrounding the abomination held firm, blocking all firepower and spells.

After every concentrated attack, the mist would thin slightly, but it quickly thickened again.

Centered on the divine abomination, a dense toxic fog covered an area of over a hundred kilometers.

From high above, the landscape looked as if a greenish crystal had appeared out of nowhere in the barren land.

The once lush forest had been completely corroded and consumed by the toxic mist.

While the Witch Towers and war constructs could navigate through the mist, ordinary soldiers and golem puppets could not.

Even the golem puppets, which had immense resistance to the toxic mist, melted into pools of metallic liquid as soon as they touched the mist. As for the soldiers with flesh and blood, they almost instantly turned to blood.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the various wizard factions had already suffered significant losses and were forced to retreat their armies, leaving only wizards and wizard-class puppets to continue the battle.

Watching the divine abomination surge through the assault, killing wizard after wizard and wizard-class puppet, Gavin couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

Turning to look at the distant retreating army of Ten Thousand Birds, his heart bled.

Just moments ago, during the rapid spread of the toxic fog, Ten Thousand Birds had lost over half their forces!

They hadn't suffered such losses since entering the Earth Crystal Dimension months ago!

At that moment, he couldn't help but admire Su Nan's decisiveness and foresight.

Among the many wizard factions present, only the Star Alliance, which had evacuated early, had suffered no losses.

Had he known this would happen, he would have followed the Star Alliance's lead and retreated as well!

Gavin felt a pang of regret.

"Lord Gavin, what should we do now?" Bryce's voice interrupted Gavin's thoughts.

Snapping back to reality, Gavin quickly replied without hesitation, "Retreat, the farther, the better!"

"What about the Wisdom Codex?"

"Our original agreement was only to assist the Wisdom Codex in collecting divine corpse fragments, and that mission has been completed. We have no obligation to help them fight that monster. Besides, that monster is beyond our capabilities. The True Spirit Wizards outside will intervene soon enough."

Upon hearing this, Bryce let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Truthfully, he didn't want to face such a terrifying monster.

There was no benefit in participating in the fight; it could very well cost him his life. He didn't want to take on such a thankless task.

Looking up, Bryce saw that Gavin was staring at a specific direction, puzzled. "Lord?"

Gavin frowned. "Have you seen Su Nan?"

Bryce paused, then shook his head. "No, he must have already left."

"Really?" Gavin recalled seeing Su Nan earlier, observing from a distance. However, in the blink of an eye, Su Nan had vanished. He hadn't thought much of it, assuming Su Nan had simply moved further away.

But little did he know, Su Nan had already ventured deep into the toxic mist.

Zzzzt!

A faint sound reached his ears, the hiss of the toxic mist corroding the protective barrier.

To avoid drawing too much attention, Su Nan hadn't used his Absolute Forbidden Zone but instead activated the "Forbidden Zone" magic tool on him.

However, even as a top-tier level-three magic tool, the "Forbidden Zone," the protective field was being eroded at a visible rate under the onslaught of the toxic mist.

"This poison is so potent!"

"True to form, this must be a divine abomination. Even a Starfall Rain enhanced by [Talent Specialization] would probably only injure the monster, but a true blow or fatal strike is out of the question."

Su Nan couldn't help but shudder as he quickened his pace.

Though the mist obscured his sight, his mental energy sense soon led him to the cave.

Just standing at the entrance, he could feel the massive energy fluctuations emanating from within.

The intensity was the strongest he had ever encountered.

Time was of the essence. Suppressing his excitement, Su Nan carefully entered the cave.

The walls of the cave bore clear signs of toxic mist corrosion, pocked and uneven, with a disgusting layer of green slime coating the floor, rising in faint green mist visible to the naked eye.

As soon as the green mist touched the protective field, the corrosion accelerated.

But Su Nan paid no attention to this. His focus was entirely on the swirling, multi-colored energy vortex deep within the cave.

As soon as the vortex came into view, Su Nan felt his consciousness stir. The fluid movement of his third talent crystal increased rapidly, and tiny new crystals began forming one after another.

At the same time, the percentage representing the refinement of his mental energy on the interface began to climb.

0.13% 0.15% 0.18%

"It really is the Source of the Laws!"

Su Nan took a deep breath, his eyes bright with excitement.

Close proximity to the Source of the Laws rapidly enhances a wizard's mental clarity, which is one of the key features of the Source.

However, this method consumes the Source of the Laws, drastically slowing the development of the dimension into a dimension cluster, which is why few wizard factions are wasteful enough to do so.

Ordinary wizards would never have such an opportunity in their lifetime!

In just three or four breaths, Su Nan's mental clarity grew by 0.38%.

This was nearly the same amount of progress he'd made in two years of regular training.

Despite his joy, Su Nan kept his true objective in mind. He took a deep breath and calmed himself, preparing to extract the Law Energy.

The requirements for a carrier for Law Energy were extremely high, even higher-grade magic crystals couldn't meet the standards. Fortunately, this wasn't an issue for Su Nan.

His space ring contained several divine energy crystals he had accumulated over the past period.

Pure divine energy crystals were one of the best mediums for carrying Law Energy.

To be on the safe side, Su Nan also enhanced the strength of the divine energy crystals before proceeding.

With a focused thought, his mental energy formed an invisible hand in the void, slowly reaching toward the multi-colored vortex.

The Source of the Laws contained pure primordial Law Energy, which was not tied to any specific attribute but was simply the highest level of foundational Law Energy.

Compared to regular attribute-based Law Energy, its rank was half a step higher, and it far surpassed mental energy in terms of power.

The gap between them was like that between heaven and earth.

Thus, the moment Su Nan's mental energy touched the vortex, he immediately felt his mental energy being rapidly absorbed and assimilated.

In just an instant, nearly a tenth of his mental energy had been consumed!

Su Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly drew out a Mental Pearl from his space ring, holding it in his palm and rapidly absorbing it to replenish his mental energy.

The Mental Pearl was a precious item he had acquired from the City of All Things. Since it was so valuable, he only had three left. They were meant for emergency use during battles.

But given the current situation, he couldn't afford to be stingy.

Focusing his mind, Su Nan controlled the invisible hand of mental energy to extract a thread of the seven-colored light from the vortex, guiding it into the divine energy crystal.

In an instant, the center of the divine energy crystal glowed with a faint seven-colored hue, slowly spreading outwards.

Within just ten breaths, all three Mental Pearls were consumed, and Su Nan's mental energy was nearly depleted.

Reluctantly, he stopped the extraction.

At this point, the divine energy crystal had turned over two-thirds of its volume into the seven-colored color.

Without wasting time, Su Nan sat cross-legged to restore his mental energy.

Under the influence of the Source of the Laws, his mental energy recovery speed was astonishing.

In less than fifteen minutes, Su Nan's mental energy had fully recovered to its peak.

He then resumed extracting the Law Energy.

After three more attempts, the divine energy crystal was completely infused with the seven-colored glow.

At the same time, Su Nan's mental clarity had exceeded 30%.

In the span of a few moments, his mental clarity had increased as much as it would have in over a hundred years of training.

Just as Su Nan was preparing to form the second divine energy crystal and continue drawing mental energy, he suddenly felt a shift in the air. He looked up toward the cave entrance.

In that instant, he clearly sensed that the invisible barrier, which had been shrouding the entire Earth Crystal Dimension, had disappeared.

The True Spirit Wizards had lifted the dimensional blockade!

"...I've reached the limit."

Su Nan sighed in mild regret.

If he had another hour or two, he might have been able to directly break through to level-three crystallization and extract more Law Energy to prepare for his ascension to a True Spirit Wizard.

Unfortunately, the True Spirit Wizards acted too quickly.

"Fine, the harvest has been substantial already. I can't be greedy."

Making a decisive choice, Su Nan quickly stored away the divine energy crystal and left the cave.

If he were trapped in the cave by the True Spirit Wizards, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As he left the cave, Su Nan moved away from the battlefield, but his gaze was fixed on the center of the battle.

The battle was still raging fiercely.

Compared to half an hour ago, the divine abomination had clearly accumulated more injuries, and the surrounding mist had thinned considerably.

However, the enemy was in a much worse state.

The over a hundred Witch Towers that had surrounded the divine abomination were now reduced to only forty or fifty.

The tens of thousands of wizards and wizard-class puppets were now scattered and sparse, with fewer than two thousand remaining, suffering catastrophic losses.

At that moment, a grotesque giant, at least ten meters tall, with grayish skin and protruding tusks, was battling the divine abomination.

A thin mist of smoke surrounded it, vaguely forming faces in terror and agony.

"A Death Soul Giant?"

Su Nan instantly recognized the giant's origin.

The Death Soul Giant was one of the Dark Throne's most famous innate abilities. It was incredibly powerful but could only be used three times in a lifetime by any wizard below the True Spirit level.

Unless a genius believed they could ascend to True Spirit, they typically wouldn't choose this ability.

Back then, Yuxi had also used this ability.

Su Nan focused on the giant, and from its grotesque features, he could vaguely see the face of Boben.

"Looks like Boben is desperate, using even this trump card."

As he was observing, a voice suddenly came from the distance.

"Lord Su Nan."

Su Nan turned toward the voice, only to see Gavin and Bryce flying toward him.

"I thought you had already left. Didn't expect you to stay behind," Gavin said with surprise.

Su Nan responded casually, "After all, it's the first time I've seen a living divine abomination. I'm a bit curious."

Gavin's expression immediately grew serious. "So it really is a divine abomination. I was still somewhat unsure."

He turned his gaze toward the battlefield, his face filled with awe. "No wonder so many wizard factions couldn't suppress that monster."

"But it ends here." Su Nan looked up at the sky.

In the once-clear sky, more than a dozen cracks suddenly appeared, rapidly expanding. Figures began emerging from the rifts.

An immense mental energy field instantly enveloped the entire dimension, causing Su Nan and Gavin to feel a pressure that made it hard to breathe.

At the same time, the divine abomination, in the midst of its battle, suddenly looked up toward the figures in the sky.

The brutal and fearless creature that had been wreaking havoc now showed a human-like fear on its face.

It instinctively took a step back, then let out a sharp roar, slashing the air with its claws, creating a rift to escape.

But in the next moment, an invisible wave of energy descended, freezing the surrounding space in place.

The rift the divine abomination had torn open instantly closed!

Dimensional Anchor!

A space-sealing spell!

This minor level-four spell cast by a True Spirit Wizard was devastatingly powerful. In an instant, it sealed off a thousand-mile radius of space.

The divine abomination was now trapped in this realm!

In the next moment, a massive black hand appeared from the sky, descending like a mountain to crush the divine abomination!

The black hand sent ripples through the air, tearing the surrounding void apart. Everything in its path turned to dust, only to immediately reform, repeating the process endlessly!

The bright sky was suddenly overtaken by dark clouds, roiling and churning, as an overwhelming and relentless pressure surged from them, making it nearly impossible to stay conscious!

Even from afar, Su Nan could feel the immense pressure hit him, as if a massive stone had dropped into his chest, making it hard to breathe.

"It's Wood from the Dark Throne!"

Gavin's expression was filled with a mix of fear and longing as he gazed at the massive black hand.

"He wields the Dark Laws, which are said to be an advanced law force, even above elemental force!"

Advanced law force...

Su Nan's eyes flickered as he focused on the black hand.

"Roar!".

As the hand descended, the pressure from all directions overwhelmed the divine abomination, forcing it to roar in fury, while green mist poured from its body, surging upward in retaliation!

Before everyone's eyes, the black hand collided with the surging green mist in the air!

Boom!

The deafening sound of the impact ex

ploded, sending shockwaves rippling outward. The void twisted and shredded in the wake of the collision!

After a brief stalemate, the black hand broke through the green mist and landed squarely on the divine abomination, sending it crashing down to the ground like a falling star!
