Lord of the Magical Beasts - Chapter 679 - Soul Dissolving
The shrine’s scale turned very large thanks to the great effort of Pope Goode.
There were two spires connected to the two gates at the center of the shrine, and their heights reached several hundred meters. Those spires’ height was second only to the Great Wizard Pagoda in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. There were also many little spires and dual spires in the vicinity. The shrine had 10 chapels, and the roof of the great chapel at the middle had a height of 100 meters, while the lobby spanned across 20 meters. It had a large scale!
The shrine’s bell tower had a large pendulum clock called Saint Peter, and its weight reached two tons. It was called a fruit of the building art of the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. The great chapel’s walls also had windows with a collective expanse of 10,000 square meters, and all kinds of people and Magical Beasts were depicted on the colorful and beautiful glass. Both the floor and wall alike were built with polished boulders, and they portrayed the Wizard God Religion’s old stories. Some places even had mysterious and abstruse symbols that formed hidden Magical Formation Spells.
There was a vast crowd outside the shrine, and innumerable believers gathered from far and wide. Goode, Ophelia, and other people were within the shrine, and they had already made ample preparations long ago. They were just waiting for a certain time, and, upon seeing this, Yuna, Sofia, and their other companion, Ophelia, welcomed them personally.
“Alice, how is the second batch of Vik Poison Gas concocted by you? When will you prepare it?” The Corpse Wizard King wore a smile across his face and walked toward Alice as he spoke.
Yang Ling stayed in secluded training for 500 years, and the Magical Beast Territory, as well as the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, had gone through great changes. Even the Magical Beast Army wasn’t an exception to this. The purple mouse Little Ice, the Thousand-faced Mink, and other Magical Beasts advanced into the God-Level, one after the other.

In addition, the Dark Dragons, Twin-legged Flying Dragons, Horned Dragons, and other strong Magical Beasts were nurtured properly, and they were fed Godheads. They all didn’t disappoint the people, and they advanced into the God-Level one after the other. There were already around 1,000 God-Level Magical Beasts in the whole Magical Beast Army, and there were around 100 with a High-Level Deity’s power.
After the Magical Beast Army’s commander, the Corpse Wizard King, got a large number of strong Magical Beasts, he reorganized the army again, and he divided it into Mammoth Heavy Cavalry Corps, Strategic Explosion Corps, Aerial Assault Corps, Long Range Attack Corps, Surprise Attack Corps, and other corps. The corp with the highest power was the Aerial Assault Corps commanded by the Dark Dragon King. This corp had most God-Level Flying Magical Beasts, and their destructive power surpassed greatly the Strategic Explosion Corps, commanded by the Horned Dragon King.
In several hundred years, Alice’s Magical Experiment Tower managed to develop a large number of terrifying poison gas and poison powder. The Magical Beast Weapon Factory mixed those poisons with the explosive Black Pulp Melon and created terrifying biological warfare weapons. If those weapons were thrown from the air, the explosions would release formidable power, while the poison gas and poison powder would cause more terrifying harm.
The most terrifying poison among the poison gas and powder crafted by Alice was Vic Poison Gas, which was developed by her recently. Vic Poison was a deadly nervous poison gas that was manufactured inadvertently by Alice tens of years ago. It could paralyze the body’s nerves, and it didn’t have any odor or color. It was very harmful, and once it spread out, none within several miles radius would be able to move a finger, and people might have even died on the spot. Even if an expert, with great achievements in training, inhaled several breaths of it by mistake, he would be likely quickly deprived of his whole power.
Alice created Vik Poison Gas inadvertently, and she had only several bottles of it as a sample. She didn’t pay heed to it, but the Corpse Wizard King, who strolled into the Magical Experiment Tower, quickly discovered this poison gas’s strategic significance, and he tested its power. This was why he decided to establish the Strategic Explosion Corps, which was commanded by the Horned Dragon King.
“1,100 pounds of Horned Dragons’ bone marrow, 5,000 Thousand-Year-Old Dragon Bone Grass, 20,000 Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Seed Mother Insect Grass. Don’t dream about getting a bottle of Vik Poison Gas without those ingredients.” Alice chuckled and announced large figures, which gave the Corpse Wizard King a headache. Now, she had a large number of assistants, who would make all kinds of medical objects, and they consumed a large number of ingredients every day. The Corpse Wizard King had thousands upon thousands of Magical Beasts, and it would be a pity to not exploit this free labor force.
She asked for a sky-high price, and she was really ruthless.
The Corpse Wizard King looked at Alice, who got shrewder, and shook his head. He smiled and said, “Alice, I will first keep account of this, and I will provide you with compensation next time.”
“Rodriguez, my account book has several pages filled with your signatures. Could it be that you plan to offer me compensation for everything next time?” Alice chuckled and took out a booklet from her pocket. She opened it and shook it in front of the Corpse Wizard King.
“Huh? This is…” The Corpse Wizard King looked at the innumerable signatures left by him on the booklet and let out a sheepish laugh. He was left at a loss for words.
…
Yuna, Sofia, and other people looked at the Corpse Wizard King and Alice, who bickered. They all couldn’t help but chuckle and talk about the recent situation. They waited calmly for the awaited hour’s arrival. An hour quickly passed, and Pope Goode was about to wear the beautiful crown, as well as announce the start of the ceremony. But, a surprising incident occurred.
Buzz!
A cry emanated from the tall Great Wizard Pagoda, which reached the clouds, and it shone with bright silver light. Many mysterious and abstruse symbols appeared on it, and a peerless wave of pressure suddenly spread from it far and wide. This wave crossed space and instantly spread to every nook of the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. This wave was accompanied by obscure Energy Ripples, and it stunned the people’s souls like the Soul Cry Spell.
The myriad Magical Beasts in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension instantly prostrated on the ground instinctively, and even the believers, who traveled from far and wide into the shrine, held their right hands against their chests before they prostrated respectfully. The tall and large trees let out a rustling noise, and even the delicate Wheat Grass bowed toward the Wizard Pagoda.
Soul Worship!
After several hundred years, Soul Worship occurred again in the vast land of the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension.
“Lord, the Lord has woken up.”
“Hurry up. Let’s welcome the Lord quickly.”
After the Golden Roc, the Corpse Wizard King, and other people got over their surprise, they quickly detected Yang Ling’s intense Soul Ripples. They got excited, and it was especially the case for Yuna, Alice, and other women, who got so excited that they shed tears. They rushed recklessly out of the shrine and they crossed many gates. They rushed toward the Dimensional Channel in the vicinity. But a familiar-looking silhouette appeared in the air before they stepped on the scarlet carpet.
After Yang Ling had practiced arduously for 500 years, he finally advanced into the High-Level Soul Wizard Stage, and he woke up at the last moment of the Wizard God Religion’s celebration.
…
After the miraculous emergence of the Great Soul Wizard, Yang Ling, the believers turned frantic, and the whole Holy City was buzzing. The city didn’t calm down even after three days and nights. But it was fortunate that none managed to intrude into the forbidden land in the few miles around the Great Wizard Pagoda; this was thanks to the protection of the numerous Templar Knights.
“Lord, which stage did you reach through practice?”
When the Blood Angel Ophelia saw the white-clothed Yang Ling, who turned more elegant, she observed with her senses the obscure Energy Ripples within his body before she shook her head. She could detect instinctively that Yang Ling’s power advanced greatly once again, and she could also feel that his demeanor changed. But she still couldn’t describe the difference with words, and she didn’t know which stage he reached. He didn’t seem like Divine Duty Experts, yet he also didn’t seem like the lofty Divine Lords, who overlooked all beings.
“I really can’t say which stage I have reached.” Yang Ling chuckled. If it could be said that practicing to the Soul Wizard Stage’s early-level was like reaching Soul Wizardry’s hall, then advancing into the high-level was the beginning of the road toward controlling the world. One could understand this abstruse stage only through experience, and he couldn’t describe it with words. Yang Ling paused for a moment before he walked into a broad region and said slowly, “Rodriguez, come over. Come at me together and show me your progress from the past years.”
“Fine, Lord. I will come to you.
The Giant Ape King was the most warlike person, and he took several steps before he let out a shout. He jumped high and waved his rod at Yang Ling’s head. He possessed great power, like a mountain, and he left behind him a series of afterimages. His speed was higher than before by ten-fold. It seemed like he had made great progress in the past years, but it was still a pity that there was a large disparity between him and the Soul Wizard, Yang Ling, who achieved a Level Advancement.
“Slow. You are too slow, and your power isn’t great enough.” Yang Ling shook his head and moved his head aside at the critical juncture. He just allowed the Giant Ape King to hit his shoulder with his large rod. As a “thump” noise echoed out, Yang Ling didn’t suffer any harm, but the Giant Ape King was shaken and sent flying away. The Giant Ape King’s fingers turned numb, and his large rod fell on the ground with a rumble.
After Yang Ling’s body absorbed a large amount of energy, it was strengthened to a large extent, and he got closer to become one of the apex Wizard Warriors recorded on the obelisk. Even if he stood motionless, ordinary people wouldn’t manage to break his defense.
“Death Ripples!”
The Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and other people joined hands. They quickly formed the Demon God Battle Formation and fused their powers. Soon after, the Corpse Wizard King let out sizzling Death Ripples, which created ghastly, spatial fissures in the air. He assumed that, even if he couldn’t inflict heavy injuries on Yang Ling, he would still manage to force him to dodge the attack. But Yang Ling, unexpectedly, didn’t dodge it, and he casually released Crystal Mist that neutralized the sharp Death Ripples.
A Soul Wizard was specialized in Soul Attacks and Soul Defense. Several hundred years ago, Yang Ling was quite afraid of the Death Ripples released by the Corpse Wizard King upon fusing his power with the crowd. But, after he advanced into the High-Level Soul Wizard Stage, his soul defense reached a formidable level, and he could ignore all ordinary soul attacks.
“Lord, observe mine.”
Upon seeing Yang Ling’s unfathomable power, the Golden Roc’s fighting spirit was stirred up, and he let out a roar before he took back his main form and soared into the sky. Soon after, he dived down fast and waved his claw at Yang Ling’s head. He was as swift as lightning, and he instantly flew to the top of Yang Ling’s head. But, when the crowd just cried in alarm and assumed that Yang Ling was caught off-guard and couldn’t respond in time, dense serpentine lightning appeared atop Yang Ling’s head, and it let out a sizzling noise. This lightning also had a black luster and contained terrifying Energy Ripples. It was very strange!
Upon taking a single glance at it, the crowd’s scalp turned numb, and they detected great danger instinctively.
“Ah! Soul Lightning?” Upon touching the lightning, the Golden Roc retreated quickly as if he was bitten by a viper. He looked in fright at the black, serpentine lightning atop Yang Ling’s head, and he got a splitting headache as if his head was hammered. His Soul Defense was almost broken by this strange Soul Lightning.
“Is this Soul Dissolving Spell’s power?”
Upon seeing the pale-faced Golden Roc at a high-altitude, Yang Ling got quite excited. In this seclusion session, he didn’t just achieve a Level Advancement smoothly, he also comprehended many Soul Wizard Spells. The strongest among them was this Soul Dissolving Wizard Spell. This spell could add a black luster to lightning, Ice-Sealing Arrows, Battle Soul Blade, and other attacks, and this luster would attack the enemy’s soul. According to the obelisk’s records, if an enemy fell victim to it, he would get a splitting headache in the light cases, and in severe cases, his soul would be extinguished on the spot. Even the careless Wandering Divine Beast, Golden Roc, suffered harm due to it, and it felt like it was bitten by a viper. It really seemed amazing!
