A Wizard's Secret

Merlin had already returned to the Spell Caster civilization but his deeds continued to spread. The entire Void Zone was too large. The Spell Caster civilization might not be known at all but the Great Light Region and the Great Light Honorable Lord were famous.

The Great Light Region had been in existence for millions of years, and the Great Light Honorable Lord was at the peak of third-grade and controlled two Vestigial Dimensions. If there was no Emperor-level, he was invincible.

However, the Great Light Honorable Lord was dead now. Moreover, he was killed by the hands of someone who had never been heard of. The impact was far beyond Merlin’s imagination.

In particular, Merlin still had the Vestigial Tribe’s legendary ultimate weapon- the Golden Ray Armor! Therefore, Merlin’s legend was even more eye-catching.

In a deep and dark area known as the dark territory, regular contenders would not be willing to approach this territory, much less stay here.

However, there was a monster like a giant tortoise here. It quietly lay in the Void Zone, seemingly deep in sleep.

“Rumble.”

A terrible shock caused the giant tortoise to slowly awaken. Then, a strange man with three heads stepped forward to the giant tortoise.

“Awaken, Sarsen Tortoise. Something major has happened.”

The Three-headed man cried, and the giant tortoise finally opened its huge eyes and looked at the man doubtfully. “Something major? What happened?”

“Haha, do you know the Great Light Region and the Great Light Honorable Lord?”

The Three-headed man laughed.

“Of course, I do. The Great Light Honorable Lord once wanted to capture me, and we even retaliated but we couldn’t do anything against him. He’s a very troublesome person. What about it?”

“The Great Light Honorable Lord is dead!”

The Three-headed man said a shocking piece of news.

“What? The Great Light Honorable Lord died? He was so difficult to deal with and controlled two Vestigial Dimensions. His strength even reached the peak of the third-grade. Who could have killed him? Did a fourth-grade Emperor-level contender appear?”

The giant tortoise also became alert. Its huge body only moved slightly but the Void Zone surrounding it seemed to shake.

“Would a fourth-grade Emperor-level contender appear so easily? Do you think the Great Light Honorable Lord would offend a fourth-grade Emperor-level contender? This time, it wasn’t even an ultimate existence who had killed the Great Light Honorable Lord.”

The giant tortoise’s body shook even more violently. Its limbs stretched out and its body trembled. “Not even an ultimate existence but able to kill the Great Light Honorable Lord. There’s nothing else that can do that except the Vestigial Tribe’s ultimate weapon. Speak, is it the Vestigial Tribe’s ultimate weapon?”

The Three-headed man nodded in surprise and said, “Yes, you’re right. This person is called Merlin. It’s said that he came from a very remote territory. He was lucky enough to obtain the Vestigial Tribe’s ultimate weapon, a Golden Ray Armor that was comparable to the ancient Thirty-six Emperors!”

The Golden Ray Armor was a terrifying weapon that was comparable to the ancient Thirty-six Emperors. It was not surprising that even the Great Light Honorable Lord was killed. However, the giant tortoise knew about the Vestigial Tribe’s secrets and said doubtfully, “He doesn’t have the Vestigial Tribe’s bloodline but he can use the Vestigial Tribe’s Golden Ray Armor?”

“That’s what we’re confused about. There might be some hidden dangers. Merlin, who obtained the Golden Ray Armor, can’t fully utilize its power. Otherwise, the Great Light Honorable Lord wouldn’t have been so bold as to fight with him.”

A strange glint flashed in the Three-headed man’s eyes.

“The Great Light Honorable Lord was foolish. Just because the other party couldn’t fully utilize the power of the Golden Ray Armor, he attacked him? That’s the height of foolishness. Besides the ancient Thirty-six Emperors, even an ordinary Emperor-level contender would find it difficult to destroy the Golden Ray Armor. In my opinion, the Great Light Honorable Lord grew greedy and thought he could obtain the Golden Ray Armor, and ended up getting himself killed. By the way, is the reason you woke me up to take his Golden Ray Armor? I won’t go…”

The giant tortoise glanced at the Three-headed man. This news was truly shocking. The appearance of the Golden Ray Armor can cause people to go insane but he was not crazy enough to think that he could obtain the Golden Ray Armor. After all, the Great Light Honorable Lord’s fate was left out in the open for all to see. He did not want to become the second Great Light Honorable Lord.

“Haha, although the Golden Ray Armor has appeared, I’m not as ambitious as the Great Light Honorable Lord. He wanted to control everything he could see. Would it be that easy to kill someone possessing the Golden Ray Armor?”

“If you didn’t wake me up for the Golden Ray Armor, then what do you want?”

The giant tortoise was suspicious.

“Sarsen Tortoise, you were born with a special life, and finally reached the peak of third-stage after a long time. Although I’m a weak creature, I’ve reached this point today step by step but I’ve lost the possibility of advancing further. The legendary fourth-stage, huh. Rumor has it that only after reaching the fourth-stage can one understands the secret of the Void Zone. Only Emperor-level contenders, like the ancient Thirty-six Emperors, can grasp the secret of the Void Zone. We’ve lived long enough, and you’ve been sleeping for a long time. Don’t you have any desires?”

“Desire?”

The giant tortoise seemed to fall into its memories. A long time passed before it raised its head and asked, “You mean, to enter that place?”

“Yes. Only then can we go further!”

A trace of madness crept into the Three-headed man’s eyes.

“You’re insane… However, it seems to be worth looking forward to!”

The giant tortoise also revealed a little smile. Just like the Three-headed man had said, he had lived long enough. For a long time, all that he did was sleep, to the point where he lost the meaning of life. That was because he could no longer go any further.

However, only fourth-grade ultimate existences could truly know the mystery of the Void Zone and stand at the apex. He was willing to take risks to get just a glimpse of this mystery.

“That place is too dangerous for both of us. We’ve invited the Great Light Honorable Lord before but he didn’t have the guts to go in. Hmph, now he tried to be brave and obtain the Golden Ray Armor but the results caused a fatal disaster for himself. However, this person who has the Golden Ray Armor is more suitable than the Great Light Honorable Lord. With him around, we’ll have more assurance when entering that place.”

There was a faint hint of expectation in the Three-headed man’s eyes. He had waited too long for this day. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would not give up.

“Alright, then let’s go find the person who had killed the Great Light Honorable Lord…”

The giant tortoise and the Three-headed man swiftly left the dark territory.

…

In a prosperous territory, in a grand hall, an ultimate existence with a single horn on his head was indulging himself in a few concubines. At this moment, a purple light suddenly entered the palace, and a burly foreign person with a domineering life force appeared.

“Violetfire King, why have you come to my shrine?”

This purple figure was the Violetfire King of Violetfire Region and was also a peak third-grade ultimate existence.

“Honorable God Blackfrost, as one of the most powerful gods in the Void Zone, don’t you want to go one step further and command the gods’ territory, and reproduce the glory created by the Darkness God Emperor, one of the original Thirty-six Emperors?”

The Honorable God Blackfrost’s face was cold. He was the strongest existence among the gods in the Void Zone and was at the peak of the third-grade. In the past, he also had fought under the only God Emperor of the Thirty-six Emperors against the Vestigial Tribe.

Unfortunately, there was only one Emperor-level god in the war, and the Darkness God Emperor – one of the Thirty-six Emperors, died in the hands of the Vestigial Tribe. From then on, the gods also declined. Now, many foreign civilizations in the Void Zone were not afraid of gods at all.

“Boom.”

The Honorable God Blackfrost’s body was covered with a layer of black ice. The temperature of the entire shrine plummeted as if able to freeze even consciousnesses.

“Violetfire King, get to the point!”

The Honorable God Blackfrost was very impolite. The mention of the Darkness God Emperor hit a sore nerve, and he did not allow anyone to speak about the Darkness God Emperor. As one of the most powerful gods under the Darkness God Emperor, the Honorable God Blackfrost was very eager to reproduce the Darkness God Emperor’s glory. However, after so many years, he knew that he would never enter the realm of a God Emperor.

After all, there were many gods in the Void Zone but only the Darkness God Emperor became a God Emperor. Since there was no more hope, the Honorable God Blackfrost naturally stopped trying, and indulged himself every day in a stupor.

“Haha, Honorable God Blackfrost, if you can still get mad, then that means you haven’t let it go yet. Do you know about the Great Light Honorable Lord?”

“The Great Light Honorable Lord? Why are you mentioning him?”

The Honorable God Blackfrost asked coldly. Although he had not met the Great Light Honorable Lord before, as someone who was also a peak third-grade ultimate existence, the Honorable God Blackfrost naturally had heard of him before.

“The Great Light Honorable Lord is dead! Furthermore, he was killed by someone who wasn’t even an ultimate existence.”

The Violetfire King delivered a piece of shocking news.

“The Great Light Honorable Lord is dead? He was killed by someone who wasn’t even an ultimate existence? Did the Vestigial Tribe reappear?”

As an ultimate existence who had fought with the Vestigial Tribe in the past, the Honorable God Blackfrost was very familiar with the Vestigial Tribe. Moreover, he did not want to encounter that powerful civilization again in his life.

After all, the Darkness God Emperor died in the hands of the Vestigial Tribe.

“It’s not the Vestigial Tribe but it’s related to them. When the Vestigial Tribe was annihilated, not a single drop of their bloodline was left behind. How can the Vestigial Tribe appear again? That person is called Merlin. He’s from a remote territory but for some reason, he possesses a Golden Ray Armor. Furthermore, he can even use the Golden Ray Armor. Although he can’t utilize its full strength, he still killed the Great Light Honorable Lord with the special and powerful Golden Ray Armor.”

The Violetfire King explained in detail.

The Honorable God Blackfrost suddenly raised his head and sneered, “Violetfire King, you want to seize the Golden Ray Armor? Haha, you don’t know how powerful the Vestigial Tribe is? Even the Great Light Honorable Lord was killed. That Golden Ray Armor is comparable to the ancient Thirty-six Emperors, but you still dare to seize it?”

“Honorable God Blackfrost, Merlin can’t fully utilize the power of his Golden Ray Armor, and he’s not a descendant of the Vestigial Tribe. According to my observation, he can only use it a few times and barely reach the strength of a fourth-grade Emperor-level. You used to be under the Darkness God Emperor and had seen many fourth-grade Emperor-level contenders. I also know you have life-saving methods that can temporarily resist a fourth-grade force. If you and I work together, won’t our chances at success be much higher?”

“Is that so? What if we obtain the Golden Ray Armor? There’s two of us, but only one Golden Ray Armor!”

“I’m different from you. I only want to obtain the Golden Ray Armor and experience the feeling of my strength increasing to the fourth-grade. Thereafter, I’ll give you the Golden Ray Armor. How about that?”

The Violetfire King’s words deeply moved the Honorable God Blackfrost. He also knew that the Violetfire King’s understanding was very high, and that he always wanted to enter the fourth-grade but had never succeeded.

He only took a fancy to the Golden Ray Armor because it would let his strength reach the fourth-grade. Furthermore, the Violetfire King was very powerful as well. If the two of them worked together, they were very likely to succeed.

Furthermore, the Honorable God Blackfrost had some life-saving methods. Even if it was against an Emperor-level ultimate existence, he could calmly escape.

“Fine, it’s a deal. I’ll go!”

After pondering for a long time, the Honorable God Blackfrost finally raised his head. His heart had moved long ago.
