Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 465 - 024 The Crystal Man

Every Void City had its unique Magic Door, and Bo Wen cultivated a Magic Door called the Thunderclap Body Reinforcement. By tempering his physical body with the power of Thunderclap, he eventually reached an invincible state. Based on his interactions with other Divine Envoys from different Void Cities, the Thunderclap Body Reinforcement was exceptionally outstanding in strengthening the physical body. With similar cultivation levels, very few Divine Envoys could face him head-on.

But now...

"BANG!"

"CRACK!"

Bo Wen felt as though he had crashed into a hard object made of diamond. His opponent merely stepped back, whereas his once-prideful bones broke on the spot.

"AH!"

Accompanied by an angry roar, Bo Wen transformed into Thunderclap, his legs kicking out in a flurry, filling the area with shadows of his legs. The massive power of Thunderclap stored within his body also burst forth instantly.

"BOOM!"

Several figures retreated explosively at the same time.

Bo Wen’s legs trembled as he stood precariously mid-air, his face bitter. The crystalline bodies of his opponents were unimaginably hard; even at full power, he hadn’t truly broken through their defenses. Moreover, that force distorting everything was also tearing at his skin and bones at the moment of contact.

After just a brief exchange, Bo Wen felt that both his legs were nearly crippled.

"HUFF..."

Summoning Thunder Technique!

His eyes focused; a Thunderclap connecting heaven and earth appeared out of nowhere, not only repelling the incoming crystal beings but also re-energizing Bo Wen.

Devouring the heavenly Thunderclap to empower oneself.

This, too, was a unique Magic Door of the Thunderclap Body Reinforcement, although using such Secret Techniques inflicted tremendous damage to the body.

"Bo Wen!"

"My good friend."

A familiar voice stunned Bo Wen.

"Div!"

His eyes grew vacant. "How could you be here?"

A crystal being opened its arms, stepping forward slowly. Though it did not open its mouth, a voice emerged, "The Divine Fire extinguished, the Void City no longer exists. Summoned by our kin, I crystallized and also obtained an immortal body."

"You..." Bo Wen’s eyes twitched. "Crystal being?"

Were crystal beings transformed from humans?

"Yes!" Div nodded. "This world is moving toward destruction; all living beings will perish. Only by transforming forms is there a chance to continue existing."

"Bo Wen, my good friend, not everyone is privileged to be favored by the crystal and become one of our kin. But you and I are exceptions. Look at your legs."

Bo Wen looked down, his eyes narrowing involuntarily. To his surprise, his legs were now covered with densely packed, crystalline particles. That force distorting everything not only destroyed his physical body but was also affecting his flesh.

"Submit to the crystal, become one of my kin," Div spoke. "My friend! This is the blessing given by the great crystal. Accept it, acknowledge it, and you too can become immortal."

"..." Bo Wen’s face was blank, his consciousness blurred, and the crystals on his legs were spreading upwards rapidly.

Within just a few Breaths, his lower legs had crystallized.

"SNAP!"

"CRACKLE!"

The Thunderclap surrounding his body gradually weakened, almost extinguishing, his heartbeat slowing significantly.

Just as his heart stopped beating, a certain self-preservation mechanism suddenly activated.

"BOOM!"

A Thunderclap far brighter than before exploded from his heart, instantly dispersing the strange force affecting his mind.

Damn it! This thing can even affect one’s mind?

Bo Wen’s face showed his alarm. His body turned into a streak of lightning as he shot toward the sky, attempting to escape.

"My friend, where are you going?"

Div’s figure appeared before him, his seductive voice echoing in Bo Wen’s ears as the strange force continuously engulfed him.

"Get away!"

"Scram!"

"BOOM..."

Bo Wen roared angrily, lashing out furiously, yet unaware that his forward path was actually taking him in circles. He remained within the range of the crystal beings’ strange influence.

"Submit!"

"Assimilate!"

"Immortality!"

"..."

The voices continuously hammered at his mind. Bo Wen’s consciousness became increasingly blurry, his resistance ever weakening.

"Divine Envoy Bo Wen?"

The unfamiliar voice did not awaken Bo Wen; instead, he instinctively threw a punch toward the sound.

"Die!"

"THWACK!"

A gentle yet substantial force suddenly enveloped his fist. Carl gently shook his head and, with a flick of his arm, said, "It seems Divine Envoy Bo Wen isn’t very lucid. Well then, take some rest."

The immense power behind that casual flick sent Bo Wen flying like a cannonball.

The three crystal beings simultaneously halted their actions. They sensed a dangerous warning from this newcomer, their own crystals flickering rapidly.

"SWOOSH!"

One of the crystal beings suddenly closed in, thrusting an arm forward—a simple movement imbued with terrifying strength.

Carl narrowed his eyes and also threw a punch.

"BANG!"

Both individuals retreated simultaneously.

So hard!

Carl’s eyes twitched, his face showing surprise. This was the first time he had encountered a being within the First Order that could contend with him through mere physical strength.

"SWOOSH!"

"SWOOSH, SWOOSH!"

With no time for astonishment, the other two crystal beings had already closed in, one throwing a punch and the other a side kick.

"BANG!"

"BOOM..."

Carl used his movement technique to fend them off, continuously retreating under the assault of the three crystal beings, his breathing faltering slightly.

It wasn’t just their strength; it was also the accompanying distorting force and, even more so, a bizarre spiritual power continuously assaulting his Spiritual Inner Sea.

How strange!

"HUMPH!"

With a muffled grunt, Carl formed hand seals and struck out left and right.

Thousand Buddha Hands!

"BANG!"

The Thousand Buddha Hands at the Hundred Hands Realm exponentially increased his strength and explosive power, sending one crystal being flying.

"WHOOSH..."

Carl seized the chance to break out of the encirclement. His hands moved swiftly in casting gestures, and the phantom of a Buddha emerged behind him, its tendrils fiercely extending.

Second Circle Magic—Fear Aura!

The Level suppression caused the incoming crystal beings to suddenly stall. In the next instant, Carl unleashed:

Thunder Seal!

Blinding lightning exploded on a crystal being’s chest, the terrifying force directly tearing apart its outer crystal layer.

"CRACK..."

"BANG!"

One crystal being completely shattered.

Source Material +1

Carl was stunned. He hadn’t expected that killing these creatures would yield Source Material, nor had he expected it to be so easy.

It seems that although their defensive power is strong, it’s just a shell. Once the attacking force exceeds their defensive capability, the body can’t withstand it and collapses directly.

As for the Source Material... it’s comparable to ten Great Divine Graces!

Carl’s eyes lit up. He dashed toward the other two crystal beings and repeated the process, successively blasting them apart.

Source Material +1

Source Material +1

「Temporary Camp.」

Pale-faced, Divine Envoy Bo Wen was huddled up, shivering as if in the middle of a harsh winter. Dozens of divine stones were arranged in a pattern on the ground, occasionally emitting a soft glow.

After a long time, Divine Envoy Bo Wen exhaled deeply, his face etched with exhaustion. "PHEW... Divine Envoy Carl, thank you very much."

"You’re welcome," Carl said indifferently. "Why did you come to such a distant place, Divine Envoy Bo Wen?"

"The Void City mines have become very difficult to excavate for divine marrow. Without divine marrow as fuel, the Divine Fire will keep weakening," Bo Wen said, his voice hoarse. "Divine Envoy Yun checked the records and said there’s an abandoned Void City here; perhaps we can mine some divine marrow."

"HMM..."

"Where does Divine Envoy Carl come from?"

"A place far away." Carl looked up at the shattered blood moon in the sky, shrugged, and said, "I’m currently looking for a place to stay for a while. I hope Divine Envoy Bo Wen can accommodate me."

"Oh!" Divine Envoy Bo Wen’s eyes flickered, and he quickly asked, "Divine Envoy Carl, you’ve been surviving out there; do you have any extra divine marrow?"

"No."

"Then you must have divine stones," Bo Wen concluded.

Bo Wen sighed, his tone tinged with regret, but he quickly recovered his spirits. "To travel in such a world, Divine Envoy Carl’s strength must be remarkable. No wonder you could kill the crystal beings."

Carl glanced at the temporary camp, lost in thought.

Surviving in this Crash Divine Domain, divine stones are essential because only they can withstand the bizarre forces permeating the entire world. And divine stones are only produced in a Void City. Once away from a Void City without divine stones, one would be continuously affected. According to Carl’s understanding, the Crash Divine Domain causes people to lose sanity. If one’s sanity depletes sufficiently, they go mad and ultimately turn into an evil being. A Void City, however, can restore sanity. Temporary camps, similar to mini Void Cities, can also restore sanity, but the recovery is slower, and they consume a lot of divine stones. They are only built in specific locations.

"When I go back, I’ll discuss with Divine Envoy Yun about Divine Envoy Carl staying," Bo Wen said. "He will agree."

"HMM?" Carl’s gaze flickered. "Divine Envoy Bo Wen, didn’t anyone tell you I went to the Void City?"

"Did they?" Bo Wen was startled. "No one mentioned that."

"I see..." Carl stroked his chin. "I met Makin. He said he would tell you about me. It seems he forgot."

Forgot? Impossible! So, they intentionally didn’t want him to enter the inner city.

Bo Wen obviously realized something as well. His face became extremely ugly, his body even trembling slightly.

"The Divine Fire..."

"Quick!"

"We have to return to the Void City!"

"This is a trap! Divine Envoy Yun sent me here with no intention of letting me return..."
