Transcendent Dawn

The meeting spot of the sorcerer schools was at a witchcraft secret realm.

“The extent of witchcraft’s power has become incapable of forming a sealed arena. Is this all it can manage now? How lamentable!”

As a [Dimensional Walker], Su Lu was incredibly sensitive to dimensional waves in the Material Realm, and he detected something unusual as soon as he entered.

This plaza, veiled in fog, was not housed in a different dimension. It was merely a section of the void that had been sealed off.

Compared to the secret realms of the Main World, it was far more inferior.

This wasn’t due to a technological lag but rather, a result of the Twilight of the Gods.

Even the witchcraft gardens of the Main World would reduce their scale or actively shut down during the Low Tide of Spirit, to decrease energy expenditure.

What met the eye was a vast plaza.

The plaza was surrounded by faint mists, and groups of sorcerers, wearing robes of different colors and bearing strange shapes, entered from the periphery.

Soon, the plaza was filled with hundreds of Occupational Persons.

“Master…”

Next to Su Lu, Silver Eye whispered introductions, “Besides the top-tier Black Ring School, which needs no introduction, we must also pay attention to the Mystical Eye School and the Natural School. These are two large schools, each helmed by senior wizards.”

Wizards of the Mystical Eye School wore black robes, their emblem a vertical eye formed from intricate patterns.

They referred to it as the ‘Thousand-years Eye,’ believing that it contained unfathomable powers, the ultimate expression of the world.

Meanwhile, the wizards of the Natural School wore green robes, renowned for their plant-based witchcraft. They also excelled in healing and cultivation, their emblem the leaf of an oak.

Just then, a group of wizards walked over.

The other wizards scattered to let them through, revealing their distinctive status.

The man at the front was also bald and middle-aged. He bore no tattoos and had ring-shaped snake ornaments on his ears.

“It’s Black Snake Lucas, the Black Ring School’s second-in-command!”

Lowering his voice, Silver Eye expressed some confusion, “Where is their school leader?”

“I declare that this exchange meeting has officially commenced!”

Lucas stood at the center of the plaza, announcing loudly.

“Lucas, where is Immon, your school principal?”

A middle-aged female sorceress from the Natural School asked.

“Immon is preoccupied with important matters and couldn’t attend, he has entrusted me with full authority to represent him.”

Lucas produced a black ring. This was not only a marvel but also a symbol of authority within the Black Ring School.

“Immon isn’t here… Perhaps you’re prepared to relinquish the honor of being the strongest school to us, the Mystical Eye School?”

From the Mystical Eye School, a youthful-looking wizard stepped forward and said, “In that case, we won’t hesitate to claim the resources that the paramount secret realms will produce in the next twenty years.”

‘Master, this is the school leader of the Mystical Eye School – Uer! Beware of the vertical eye on his forehead, which is the inherited marvel of their school.’

These words transmitted over in Silver Eye’s lowered voice.

It was well-known to Su Lu that the area between the brows held special significance in occult studies. Most schools believed that humans were a type of transcendent beings but had gradually evolved out of that state. The key was this area, known as the ‘Secret of Horus.’

This Uer’s method appeared to surgically graft a marvel, an eye, onto his forehead forcefully. Cleverly, this was done to pry open this mysterious area.

‘Although it’s risky, once successful, he’ll become immensely formidable in real combat. That’s quite an ingenious perspective…’

Of course, only in this world where the wizards had no hope of advancing would they dare conduct such absurd experiments on their own bodies.

“Then… it seems we can skip the prior segments and proceed directly to practical combat.”

Lucas licked his lips, “Lady Rose, what is your opinion?”

“We, the Natural School, do not intend to vie for anything. Maintaining our current share is sufficient…”

The middle-aged sorceress adjusted her long hair.

“Very well!”

Lucas glanced around, causing the wizards to retreat hastily, “Uer! Come forth!”

“Quick! Clear the way!”

“Black Snake is going crazy again!”

“Uer has the same problem!”

Many wizards frantically dodge out of the way.

Such modification wizards, who often transplant marvels and strong bloodlines into their bodies, are occupational persons prone to problems.

Basically, the higher the rank, the more likely they are to go crazy!

Star Shine School.

Valian takes a deep drag on his pipe, exhales a cloud of smoke to form a defensive shield, covering all the wizards on his side: “Both of these are strong among advanced wizards, the scene of the battle is rare, don’t miss it!”

“Advanced wizards?”

Sally is pale-faced and trembles slightly.

A black mark flickers on her face, within it, a tiny silver snake seems to be dashing about.

She grits her teeth: “Compared to the wizard that day?”

“It should be these two who come out on top, they have been renowned for many years!”

Valian answered without hesitation.

The next moment, he saw Sally’s face reflecting a strong look of desire and hatred.

“Heh heh… Uer, do you know? I’ve always fancied ripping that eye off your forehead, today I’m gonna pry it out alive!”

A dark smoke rises from Lucas.

“If you can manage it!”

Uer’s hands form a strange seal: “The seal… unlock!”

The next instant, the vertical metallic eye on his forehead abruptly comes to life, emitting a misty light.

“Eye of Horus? You’re just relying on the foundation of the school, just as I thought, a useless one!”

The numerous dazzling lights reflecting on Lucas’s face form various expressions, some lost, some hateful, some sad, some angry.

But the next moment, all his expressions changed to indifference, indifference to life!

“Secret Technique – Black Star!”

Lucas lunged forward, transforming into an afterimage.

Hissss!

The ornament on his ear seemed to come to life transforming into a small black snake. Its body shaped like a bow, it flung vigorously.

Whoosh!

A breaking sound rings out.

Uer instinctively tilts his head to evade the attack, looking at Lucas who has reached him. His hands suddenly expanding to several times their size, come together.

Clap!

Even the void seems to turn into crystals, shattered by these two big palms.

Lucas staggered backward, a hint of a smile playing on his face.

Behind Uer, the snake that was fired off landed and changed course, charging at him again, aiming for the back of Uer’s head.

Gah!

At that moment, Uer’s neck rotates 180 degrees to the back, the Eye of Horus in between his eyebrows shooting out a red light striking the little snake.

Sssss!

In a harsh noise, the silhouette of the little black snake disappeared, seemingly vanished into thin air.

“Haha… Lucas, where’s your little darling?”

Uer turned his head back, sneered: “You’ll be with it soon, Secret Technique – Intimidation!”

An even greater brilliance bloomed on his forehead.
