Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 468 - 027 Breakthrough

The bone dragon, devoid of its controller, collapsed to the ground, and the branch stuck in its skull was pulled out.

Bo Wen secured the Divine Fire and, looking at the kneeling Cloud Divine Envoy, roared, "You despicable cur!"

"Have you forgotten all the teachings of our tutor? Do you understand how many people will die if you take away the Divine Fire?"

The two of them shared the same tutor, and even though they were at odds, they were still fellow disciples.

"Hmph!"

The Cloud Divine Envoy coldly snorted in response, "Of course, I know. I also know that the Divine Fire will eventually die out, and people... will die all the same!"

"We can get a good price for the Divine Fire before it goes out. Anyway, when the Divine Fire is extinguished, people will die too—just not the same ones."

"You..." Trembling with rage, Bo Wen’s old injury flared up, and he suddenly spat out blood.

"Tutor!"

Makin approached with a worried expression, intending to support him.

"Get away!"

Bo Wen sent him flying with a slap, bellowing furiously, "I have no disciple like you, who disregards the kinsmen you’ve lived with for many years just for your own future!"

"You too, kneel!"

THUMP!

Makin fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily, quickly bloodying his forehead on the ground.

He didn’t know what he had been thinking at the time to have absentmindedly agreed to the Cloud Divine Envoy’s proposal.

Reflecting on it now, he was filled with remorse.

"Divine Envoy Bo Wen."

The gales in the sky gradually subsided, and Carl slowly descended. "That Divine Envoy’s strength was formidable. I couldn’t hold back, so I had to... kill her."

Though he had many methods, he rarely possessed techniques for capturing people alive.

"It’s all right," Bo Wen shook his head. "Thank you, Divine Envoy Carl, for intervening. Otherwise, this Void City might have already been reduced to ruins."

He wasn’t surprised that Carl was able to kill her; after all, Carl had even dealt with a three-headed Crystalline Humanoid.

How could Divine Envoy Ola be stronger than a three-headed Crystalline Fiend?

Meanwhile, the Cloud Divine Envoy’s expression changed drastically.

"You killed Divine Envoy Ola?"

"How is that possible?"

After the shock came an outcry, "Do you have any idea who Divine Envoy Ola is? Killing her will bring destruction and disaster to Void City!"

"Hmph!"

Bo Wen snorted coldly, "If she hadn’t been killed, Void City would already be gone. Now you remember to care about the people of Void City?"

"Senior Brother," the Cloud Divine Envoy took a deep breath. "You’re very clear about the consequences of this... Forget it. Things have already come to this; how do you plan to deal with me?"

"Kill me?"

"Then do it!"

"..." Bo Wen opened his mouth but remained silent.

After all, they had been fellow disciples for over a hundred years; he truly couldn’t bring himself to kill the Cloud Divine Envoy.

"Senior Brother, your character still hasn’t changed; you’re always too soft-hearted," the Cloud Divine Envoy said contemptuously. "That temperament will doom Void City!"

This was true, in a way. If Bo Wen hadn’t been so weak-willed, the Cloud Divine Envoy wouldn’t have dared to secretly contact people from Mu Jiu Void City.

"..." Bo Wen hesitated for a moment, then, his voice hoarse, he finally spoke, "Junior Brother, do you really want to go to Mu Jiu Void City that much?"

"Of course!"

The Cloud Divine Envoy’s eyes flashed open. "Mu Jiu Void City lacks neither food nor clothing. There’s no need to worry about tomorrow’s livelihood, and people like us would even have servants to attend to us there. Compared to this place, it’s practically the life of legend."

"Not just me..."

"Ask the others here. If they had to choose between Mu Jiu Void City and this place, which would they choose?"

The others shrank back, none daring to speak.

But their attitude caused Bo Wen’s heart to sink. He opened his mouth to say something but couldn’t utter a word.

He felt a suffocating frustration building in his chest.

PUH!

He spat another mouthful of blood, his vitality instantly drained. His body staggered back several steps, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Tutor!"

"Divine Envoy Bo Wen!"

"..."

The expressions of several people at the scene changed drastically. Even a trace of concern flashed in the Cloud Divine Envoy’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Heh..."

Bo Wen’s face was tinged with bitterness. "Go!"

"All of you, go!"

He waved his hand forcefully, unbinding the Cloud Divine Envoy, and through gritted teeth, yelled, "Whoever wants to leave can leave, but don’t even think about taking the Divine Fire with you! The Divine Fire belongs here! It will always belong here!"

The Cloud Divine Envoy raised an eyebrow, got up, and stretched his limbs, then strode over to the bone dragon lying nearby.

He had the bone dragon circle above, shouting to the people present, "Who is willing to come with me?"

"Those willing, come aboard, and I’ll take you to live the good life in Mu Jiu Void City. Those who aren’t, just stay."

The crowd grew restless, exchanging glances.

Carl’s gaze flickered, his fingers trembled slightly, and then he gently shook his head without saying more.

After all, it was their internal affair, and he was just an outsider; there was no reason nor need for him to intervene. His only goal was to examine the Divine Gift of Void City.

***

The Cloud Divine Envoy wasn’t wrong; if given a choice, the vast majority of people would choose to leave this place.

What Bo Wen considered his homeland... was nothing in the eyes of others!

"Tutor."

Makin didn’t leave. He helped Bo Wen sit down on the stone chair, whispering, "Wubi, who knows animal husbandry, and his apprentices have all left. Now, the food supply for the inner city will become a problem."

"Also, those skilled in prospecting for mines and creating talismans are gone..."

"There aren’t many skilled artisans left in Void City now."

Maintaining Void City’s operations not only requires Divine Envoys to oversee things but also many people with specialized skills.

"It’s fine!" Bo Wen waved his hand. "I’m familiar with all these things. It’s just a matter of spending time to train a few more people. The broodmother, however, is found only through luck."

The broodmother hides in the insect nest. Even fiends have a hard time discovering it, let alone ordinary people.

"Divine Envoy Carl."

He turned his head to look at Carl, his face showing shame. "I’m sorry that our affairs have involved you. There might also be retaliation from Mu Jiu Void City."

"But don’t worry, I’ll explain everything clearly."

Explain it clearly? That seemed impossible.

"Never mind."

Carl shook his head, saying directly, "I would like to examine this city’s Divine Gift."

"Of course."

Bo Wen gestured to Makin. "Bring out all the Divine Gifts."

"Yes."

...

"According to the records, when the heavens fell, thunder tore through the void and struck the earth, leaving behind Divine Fire and Divine Gifts."

"However, my tutor speculated that what we call Divine Gifts are just the marks left on stones by the falling thunder. We can comprehend cultivation Magic Doors from the marks on the stones because they retain the residual power of the thunder."

Several pieces of the Divine Gift were stacked together, forming a stone nearly three meters high, its surface covered with strange patterns.

Bo Wen stood beside it, introducing, "This is the Divine Gift of our Void City. Our predecessors comprehended many Magic Doors from it."

"I’ve been to other Void Cities and seen their Divine Gifts; none seemed as complete as ours here."

He said this with a hint of pride, but then shook his head and sighed softly, "What a pity!"

"The completeness of a Divine Gift is related to whether one can comprehend powerful Magic Doors from it, but it’s not the sole determining factor. Besides, the Divine Fire here is too weak to attract others, so the Magic Doors passed down... aren’t very impressive."

"Hmm."

Carl slowly nodded. After the other party left, he steadied his emotions, stepped forward, and placed his hand on the Divine Gift.

Immediately, a thick bolt of lightning appeared in his Spiritual Inner Sea, branching out and spreading like the limbs of a tree.

Thunder!

Heavenly Thunder!

The Thunderclap that harbored both destruction and life!

If a Knight’s Martial Arts Will could have a physical form, then this Divine Gift was like the Martial Arts Will left behind by a legendary Knight.

Second Order?

Third-tier?

No!

The one who left this Martial Arts Will was at least Fourth-tier, quite possibly a legendary Divine who commanded the power of Thunderclap. Even this mere residual imprint was enough for Carl to take a further step in his Martial Arts Will.

BOOM!

RUMBLE RUMBLE...

Carl’s eyes lit up, lightning flickering within his pupils, and his Battle Aura surged within him as never before.

Thunder God’s Fury!

The originally First Order Thunder God’s Fury, like a ravenous beast, surged towards the Thunderclap, rapidly growing in power.

Just in the blink of an eye...

Second Order!

At the same time, Carl flashed back to the Divine Domain Fragment. He sat cross-legged, held his breath, and focused his mind, beginning his assault on the Holy Knight realm.

He had a feeling. Today was the day for his breakthrough!
