He knew well that as a neutral faction, the Elemental Academy must remain vigilant to deal with any potential upheaval.

"We must closely monitor the movements of the Chaos Realm and also strengthen our connections with other factions to jointly maintain peace and stability in the Wizard World," the headmaster said to his assistant.

The Elemental Academy sprang into action, strengthening communication and cooperation with other wizard factions, while also dispatching scholars to the Chaos Realm to try and understand the true nature of this emerging force.

As the news of the Chaos Realm conquering the Endless Sea spread throughout the Wizard World, the entire Wizard World plunged into an unprecedented upheaval.

Various factions began to re-evaluate their positions and strategies, attempting to find their place in this era full of variables.

"The rise of the Chaos Realm has shown us the importance of strength and wisdom," remarked an elder wizard, "We must continuously improve our prowess to stand firm in this challenging world."

"At the same time, we should reflect on our past actions," another wizard added, "Have we become too complacent and isolated, thereby enabling the rise of the Chaos Realm? We should be more open and inclusive, cooperating with other factions to jointly uphold peace and stability in the Wizard World."

The factions within the Wizard World began to take action, strengthening communication and cooperation amongst each other to face the challenges brought by the Chaos Realm together.

Concurrently, they began to reflect on their past, trying to move forward more steadily and with a long-term vision.

In this period of shock and upheaval, the Wizard World commenced a profound transformation.

Each faction was endeavoring to find its direction and goals, trying to find its place in this era rich in uncertainties.

And the emergence of the Chaos Realm has undoubtedly become one of the most noteworthy focal points in this transformation.

Its rise not only altered the structure of the Wizard World but also led the entire Wizard World to re-evaluate its perception of strength and wisdom.

As time passed, the Wizard World gradually recovered from the initial shock and turbulence.

After an in-depth reflection and adjustment, each faction began to face the challenges brought by the Chaos Realm with more maturity and stability.

...

At this time, David was exploring the depths of the Endless Sea.

David closed his eyes, focusing his spirit.

He connected with the Dark Heart and the powerful Dark Power hidden deep within the Endless Sea.

He could feel the pulsation of that power, like a sleeping giant dragon waiting to be awakened.

David tightly gripped the Dark Heart, his gaze firm and curious.

He understood well that this power was both a challenge and an opportunity, and the World Passage at the sea’s bottom might hold the key to changing the tide of battle.

"Witches, we must delve into the sea’s bottom to find the World Passage formed by the Power of Darkness."

David’s voice was steady and powerful, penetrating the chaos on the battlefield, reaching Fire Dance, Shuili, Lingnai, and Hill.

The four witches exchanged glances, reading determination and trust in each other’s eyes.

They unanimously nodded, expressing willingness to accompany David on this unknown journey.

The surface of the Endless Sea surged, seemingly foreboding imminent danger.

Yet neither the witches nor David flinched; they harnessed their respective magic, venturing toward the sea’s depths.

As they delved deeper into the sea, the surroundings began to appear peculiar and mysterious.

Colorful coral reefs shimmered with strange luminescence in the faint light.

Diverse, oddly-shaped marine creatures swam around them, some greeting friendly, others cautiously maintaining distance.

"This place is truly marvelous," Shuili softly admired, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

"Indeed, but often, the more beautiful the place, the greater the hidden danger," David reminded, his expression growing solemn.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before they encountered a horde of ferocious sea Magical Beasts.

These beasts were immense, covered in tough scales, their eyes glistening with savage gleams.

They roared viciously, lunging at the witches and David, attempting to halt their progress.

"Everyone be careful!"

David shouted loudly, simultaneously swinging the Dark Heart, releasing a powerful Dark Energy Wave.

The energy wave instantly vanquished several beasts at the forefront, buying the witches a moment to catch their breath.

The witches were not idle; they each displayed their magic.

Fire Dance summoned searing flames, causing the attacking beasts to screech in agony;

Shuili formed a Shield of Water, protecting everyone from the beasts’ assaults;

Lingnai conjured a storm, blowing the beasts into disarray;

Hill utilized the Power of Earth to induce a small-scale earthquake, making the beasts unstable.

With the witches and David working in harmony, the group of sea beasts was quickly repelled.

They continued to advance toward the depths of the sea until they arrived at a huge Abyss entrance.

This Abyss was pitch black, seemingly a black hole devouring everything.

Deep moaning resonated from within, chilling the spine.

"Is this the entrance to the World Passage?" David stared into the Abyss.

"Looks like it," Fire Dance nodded, her eyes shimmering with bravery, "Let’s go in."

The witches and David didn’t hesitate; they supported each other, cautiously stepping into the Abyss.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding darkness grew more intense, almost seeming to engulf them.

However, at that moment, a powerful Dark Power suddenly surged from the bottom of the Abyss, tightly enveloping them.

This power was both warm and cold, both familiar and unfamiliar, causing the witches and David to feel dizzy.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a brand-new world.

This world was composed purely of darkness, with no light, no color, only endless depth and mystery.

"Where are we?"

Shuili asked in surprise, her voice echoing in the darkness.

"This is the source of the Power of Darkness and also the location of the World Passage," David explained.

The witches followed David’s gaze, seeing in the depths of the darkness a faintly glowing light spot.

That light spot seemed to possess a certain magic power, drawing them ever closer.

Cautiously, they passed through the darkness until finally arriving before the light spot.

Once they saw the truth of the light spot, they couldn’t help but gasp.

It was a huge black vortex, with a small light ball at the center, which was emitting the faint glow.

This vortex seemed to connect to another world, full of the unknown and danger.

"Is this the Dark World Passage?" Lingnai asked tremulously, her eyes filled with awe.

"Yes," David nodded, "We must pass through this passage to find a way to confront the Dark God."

This was also the first time he felt the presence of Divine Spirit, completely different from the residue of other divine energies, making him squint slightly.

Now determined, Hell is potentially the only known existence beyond Seven Rings; could this Dark World also have something beyond Seven Rings, perhaps even the Dark God itself?

The bizarre energy fluctuations emitted by the passage made the surrounding air seem heavy and oppressive.

The giant black vortex resembled a deep gaze, quietly watching every life form approaching it.

The light ball at the vortex’s center, though faint, seemed to contain infinite power, drawing the witches and David ever forward.

As they gradually approached, that energy fluctuation became increasingly intense, as if an invisible force was attempting to stop their advance.

However, neither the witches nor David retreated; they supported each other, continuously advancing toward the vortex’s center.

Upon stepping into the vortex, the surrounding scene began to change dramatically.
