The opponent also raised its hand at the first possible moment, and a dark Shield completely enveloped it!

But before the Shield could envelop it, a white flash had already pierced through its body!

WHOOSH—

’So fast!’

’Swallowing Night had already warned me to be careful of his flash. I was already on high alert, but the speed of that flash is truly terrifying!’

「No Chanting: Void Stab (Tier Three) (Level: 50)」

SHH!

Lu Cang suddenly perceived black Void Stabs sprouting from thin air inside his Shield!

CLANG!

「Source·Body-Protecting True Barrier」 instantly covered his body!

CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG—

Upon striking the new Shield, the Void Stabs shattered instantly!

’What strange Magic. It can actually attack from inside a Shield.’

As it attacked, countless black nets had already filled the space between heaven and earth.

Lu Cang had deployed 「Shadow Weaving Net (Tier Four) (Level: 301)」.

SHH!

It also knew that trick, flickering as it moved.

But it clearly wasn’t as fluid as the one called Swallowing Night.

BOOM!

Lu Cang’s hundreds of spells descended upon it like a tidal wave.

’Damn...’

Xu Zhou gazed up at the sky full of Magic and the bright sun that had risen, an inexplicable shock filling its heart.

’Right now, I can only manage to cast three spells at once, and that’s the result of bitter training.’

’How is he casting this sky-blotting torrent of Magic?’

"Good..." Its tone was filled with awe, its shock laid bare.

"But so what!"

It raised its hand toward the countless spells!

PFFT!

SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH—

In that instant, its body was pierced by more than a dozen extremely fast spells, one after another.

Its Speed was not as fast as Swallowing Night’s, so it couldn’t dodge all of Lu Cang’s Magic.

When fighting Swallowing Night, basically only Instant White Flash could hit him.

But against this one called Xu Zhou, many more spells could catch up to it.

However, its body merely trembled slightly.

「Root Source·Void Reabsorption (Tier Three)」

SHH!

A swirling void appeared in mid-air.

The void swept past!

It instantly swallowed a large number of Lu Cang’s spells, which went in but never came out.

Moreover, after devouring the Magic, the void was still growing larger!

’It’s his Root Magic!’

’As expected of Root Magic.’

’It looks very powerful.’

As someone who had conceived his own Root Magic, Lu Cang knew full well how difficult it was to create and was also acutely aware of the power behind such a concept.

It breaks the rules of the current world, reversing the laws of the universe.

’A Root Magic that devours Magic?’

’Is the root of his concept... a void that consumes all?’

Seeing a Root Magic was like witnessing the creator’s very thought process.

’I can’t let it devour them...’

Lu Cang instantly canceled the Magic flying toward it.

Immediately after, a dot of colorful light formed on Lu Cang’s fingertip.

「Source·All Laws」

SHH!

This dot of colorful light formed four swirling, colorful voids!

「Source Transformation·Void Reabsorption」

Xu Zhou’s pupils shrank!

’What is this!’

’This member of the Human Race... he copied my Root Magic!’

Root Magic was Magic that couldn’t be learned by others; this was a consensus among all Mages.

’How could it appear in someone else’s hands?’

Lu Cang quietly watched Xu Zhou floating in the sky.

「Source·All Laws」 could imitate any Same-Tier Magic that he had seen being cast.

The Tier Three 「Source·All Laws」 could naturally also imitate other Tier Three Root Magic.

And compared to the Tier Two 「Source of All Laws」, the Tier Three 「Source·All Laws」 could also permanently memorize two previously imitated spells.

The opponent’s Root Magic had already been memorized by Lu Cang.

Furthermore, under the effect of Four-layered Casting, Lu Cang could cast up to sixteen 「Source Transformation·Void Reabsorption」 at most.

However, Lu Cang didn’t send these four 「Source Transformation·Void Reabsorption」 out to attack.

Instead, he had them circle around himself.

’Fighting Mages always brings me a lot of surprises.’

Lu Cang wanted to learn more from it, so he didn’t want to finish it off so quickly.

’It’s a pity that I can only imitate it but not learn it directly. How wonderful it would be if I could make this Magic something I could use at will.’

Xu Zhou’s expression was one of utter shock.

’What kind of Root Source did this guy even comprehend?’

But Lu Cang ignored its shock and pointed his Magic Staff.

「Thunderous Zone (Tier Four) (Level: 301)」

BOOM!

Sound waves vibrated, carrying Thunder with them!

The moment the sound waves hit, Thunder also exploded directly on its body!

And following right behind the explosive Thunder was a powerful Spiritual Shock!

「Heart Spirit Break (Tier Four) (Level: 301)」

BANG—

Xu Zhou’s pupils constricted abruptly as it felt its Spirit suffer a violent shock.

When it came to its senses, its gradually expanding void had already dissipated!

’Spiritual Magic!’

’I was hit? With my Spiritual Resistance, how could I be hit by Spiritual Magic?’

’No... this is Tier Four Spiritual Magic!’

’And it’s still not an ordinary Tier Four spell.’

’This guy!’

’Were those hundreds of spells from before just a test?’

’What that guy Swallowing Night said wasn’t a lie. He really can use multiple Tier Four Magic spells at Level 3.’

’This human is unfathomable.’

Wave after wave of shock crashed through Xu Zhou’s mind, never ceasing, while Lu Cang’s heart was filled with admiration.

’Sound Wave Attacks are useful.’

’Spiritual Attacks are really useful.’

’Root Magic is so useful!’

’New Magic is truly wonderful!’

Lu Cang also cast four layers of Tier Four spiritual shields on himself to prevent a surprise Spiritual Attack from his opponent.

While erratically dodging Lu Cang’s Magic, Xu Zhou also tried to counterattack.

Black chains materialized from all directions, piercing and locking toward Lu Cang!

「No Chanting: Bone-Piercing Black Locks (Tier Three) (Level: 22)」

However, these chains didn’t even touch Lu Cang’s body; just by getting close, they were repelled by the outermost Water Shield.

In contrast, Xu Zhou in the sky was sent flying erratically by the Magic appearing from all directions, spewing black fluid.

’This race is surprisingly durable...’
