Cultivating in the Wizard World-Chapter 193 - 178: Rest and Action (Part 2)

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three dull thuds, as three Light Blades accurately struck their core vulnerable parts—Jeming, drawing on a year of research experience, had already thoroughly analyzed the weaknesses of the Magma Giants.

The Light Blades exploded swiftly upon impact, with powerful shockwaves precisely destroying the magma cores inside them.

The three Second Level Magma Giants didn’t even have time to wail before they toppled over like statues stripped of their core components, the flow of magma over their bodies coming to a halt, froze completely.

The entire battle lasted less than ten seconds. The scouting party of Magma Giants, who had been so imposing just minutes ago, were now reduced to piles of charred rubble and debris amidst the ruins.

"Looks like my newly developed witchcraft is pretty effective," Jeming nodded in satisfaction at the sight.

The Talisman Witchcraft Artifact he wore on his wrist stored witchcraft that was a byproduct of Jeming’s modifications to "Magma Annihilation" over the past year.

It specialized in release speed and came with an auto-lock feature.

Combined with the destructive power of targeted witchcraft, it could be lethal against Second Level Creatures with a single strike.

This is the terrifying aspect of a Wizard—once they conduct targeted, in-depth research on a certain species, their destructive power becomes incredibly exaggerated.

Jeming walked to the corpse of a Second Level Magma Giant, took out a Fourth Level Soul-Searching Witchcraft, and gently pressed it on its core.

The light of the "All-Purpose Eye" in his eyes lit up once more, and his massive Spiritual Power, under the influence of witchcraft, cautiously infiltrated the remaining soul fragments within the Magma Giant, conducting a Soul Search!

From the broken memory shards of the Magma Giant, he quickly gleaned valuable intelligence—the recent range of activity, gathering points of the Magma Giants, and their hidden methods.

Indeed, after a year of intense battles, the Magma Giants had grown wise.

They no longer moved easily on the surface, spending most of their time hiding in the depths of Earth Veins, or even directly within the searing magma!

These magma zones weren’t just extremely hot, but also highly pressurized, effectively preventing most First Level Wizards from entering.

Even Second Level Wizards, if active in magma for a long time, would consume a large amount of Spiritual Power to maintain protection.

Over time, battle strength would significantly decline, greatly restricting the pursuit by Wizards.

But for Jeming, this was not an issue!

Although Jeming was still a First Level Wizard, his body, tempered through deep Body Refining Technique on the Elorcia Plane, was far stronger than fellow Wizards of the same rank could have imagined.

Relying solely on his physique, he could withstand the high temperature of magma and the immense pressure underground, without needing to constantly maintain high energy-consuming Energy Shields.

"Found it," Jeming murmured, his gaze fixed on a massive underground magma vein in his memory.

He took to the air, following the Magma Giants’ trajectory from memory, to find a gigantic active volcano mouth.

Inside the volcano, the scorching magma was slowly flowing, exuding suffocating heat.

Without hesitation, Jeming stored his clothes into his internal space and leapt directly into the rolling, bubbling magma!

The crimson magma instantly enveloped him, yet no Energy Shield rose around him.

His robust physique allowed him to move effortlessly through the magma.

The only downside was the density of the magma, making it impossible to move with the grace of swimming, more like a mole digging underground tunnels.

Jeming sighed, his hands like two giant shovels, digging a stable channel through the magma!

The surrounding magma was briefly pushed aside under Jeming’s force, creating space for him to move forward.

He dove rapidly, like a true underground creature, into the depths of the Earth Veins.

Soon, based on the information from memory, he arrived at an external entrance to the Magma Giants’ lair.

Jeming quickly faced his first challenge: the entrance was not simply blocked by rock, but by a near-solidified Energy Barrier!

The barrier was semi-transparent orange, with complex and primitive Runes flowing on it, emitting unsettling powerful energy fluctuations.

It was highly fused with the surrounding Earth Vein energy, seemingly a part of the subterranean magma, impregnable.

Jeming slightly released his Spiritual Power to probe, quickly assessing the strength of the Energy Barrier.

It not only had defensive power but seemed to have some energy-devouring effect.

Although simple in effect, assisted by the surrounding copious Earth Vein energy, it turned into an extraordinarily strong fortress.

Jeming tried every trick to thoroughly check around but found no way to break through.

With his current knowledge and power, even if he tried forcefully, he might not break through even if all of his Spiritual Power was exhausted.

Using "Great Light Appearance" might penetrate it, but such a commotion, by the time he broke through, the Magma Giants would have already escaped along the Earth Veins.

Moreover, this barrier was part of an alert system; any breach, no matter the method, would alert the Magma Giants inside.

Yet, Jeming’s mood was far from defeated; a smile even emerged from the depths of his eyes!

He couldn’t help but recall a famous saying from his past life: "When the door is too strong, the wall becomes the door."

Ignoring the indestructible Energy Barrier, Jeming opted to "swim" back to the volcano interior, navigating the channel he had dug earlier, returning to a nearby magma tunnel.

He targeted the thick, sturdy rock wall, which was "protected" by the Energy Barrier.

Because in the magma, Jeming regrettably couldn’t take a deep breath.

However, he adjusted his mindset, activating Alchemy, skillfully threading his Spiritual Power into the volcanic rock wall.

An invisible drill appeared in front of his hands, wherever his attention focused, the rock wall parted like sliding doors.

Jeming began excavating from the side of the tunnel’s rock wall.

This time, he wasn’t carving through magma, but tunneling through the sturdy volcanic rock and solidified magma layers!

The hard crust, under the influence of Alchemy, became shapable like quicksand, only to solidify the next second, providing a narrow space to operate.

Jeming excavated the rock ahead while backfilling behind to prevent magma collapse.

The intense heat and immense pressure constantly encroached from all sides, but under his strong bodily defense, they posed no threat.

Using meticulous Alchemy control and tenacious Spiritual Power, he dug over a kilometer through the solid rock below the magma!

Click...

With a faint crack, the stone wall thinned.

Jeming deployed Alchemy once more, cautiously pushing open the final layer of rock.

An unprecedented wave of scorching air laden with sulfur struck him!

He leaped from the narrow tunnel, landing stably on a scorching surface.

Running a hand to his rear, he "healed" the stone wall.

In front of Jeming lay an extremely hot, vast underground cavern.

The cavern was even more expansive than he had imagined, with towering space and fiery glow, enormous lava crystals embedded in the walls giving off heated brilliance.

Not far off, the faint sounds of magma compressing could be heard, and...

Numerous Magma Giants’ deep roars and conversations!

Jeming’s lips curved into a cold smile, his eyes narrowing.

He had successfully bypassed the strongest "door," and through the "wall," infiltrated the true lair of the Magma Giants.
