Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World

Kriz, Jury, and Sebastian walked through a long hallway as they approached an imposing gate.

The bald eunuch noticed the gloomy aura that hunted his comrades. While the duo was not in a state of complete despair, they knew their chances of remaining alive the following week were bleak.

Due to King Bork changing the rules and announcing the possibility of adding a new Champion when the deadline for the inscription was already over, the only one fighting on King Roku's side would be Ezequiel.

"Invictus is a monstrous genius, possibly on the highest tier even for Principal Worlds' standards, but he would be alone against the other twenty-six Champions. None of those people have an offensive might beneath the Hollow Sun Domain Stage. How could he win?" Sebastian could not help but feel angry at the feeling of impotence.

"Enough of that, there is only one path for us now, and that is to trust that man. If Invictus is defeated, King Roku has the power to preserve his life, but we don't stand a chance against King Bork's schemes."

Jury and Sebastian glanced at the eunuch, and when they saw the resolution in their friend's eyes, they could not help but be ashamed of their weak spirits.. The duo gave Kriz a silent nod before erasing the unnecessary thought of their minds.

Seeing the change in the attitude of his friend made Kriz smile. A flash of light crossed his eyes as he remembered something.

"Did you hear the news about the Soul Runes Convention?"

Jury and Sebastian immediately focused on the eunuch, and there was curiosity in their eyes. It was unsafe for them to be outside unprotected, so they could not attend the convention, but they were very interested in it.

Kriz's smile widened when he saw his friends' inquiring gazes.

"Problems started from the beginning. The change in dates forced many people to rush back to the Magi World, so you could imagine that they were not in a good mood. Things escalated when Tritus Fonder, who acted as the auctioneer, informed them that the Empire Commercial Association would auction the runes through a process of barter, and they would accept no money."

Surprise appeared in the duo's faces when they heard that. While bartering was not an uncommon practice, it was not something powerhouses liked to participate in as it would publicly announce the treasures in their possession.

"I can not believe the Rank 6 life forms attending the action would just accept that," Jury spoke with a tone full of certainty. Even if his appearance was that of a child, his age reached thousands of years, and he knew very well the behavior of the Aeternum Empire's higher-ups.

"Of course they did not. I guess you two remember the cousin of the Emperor's First Aide."

Jury and Sebastian nodded. The man's name was Irtu, and he liked to use his uncle's status to do whatever he wanted in the empire. Of course, he was also powerful as someone at the Middle Hollow Sun Domain Stage.

"He yelled at Tritus Fonder and was about to act when all of a sudden, he sat back on his chair in silence. People were surprised by the sudden change in attitude, and after a moment, they understood why. Someone had silently shattered Irtu's True Soul."

Shock filled Jury and Sebastian's faces when they heard that. They were brilliant, and it did not take long to figure out who was responsible for that death.

Only one person connected to the Empire Commercial Association would dare to disregard Irtu's background completely. The man to whom the runes auctioned belonged.

"After that, no one dared to try anything else and just submitted themselves to the rules. I guess only a singularity like Zatiel Daybreak can have someone like Invictus call him Master."

Just as their conversation ended, the trio reached the giant gate. Kriz took a magic crystal, and after entering a code, the gate slowly opened.

On the other side of the gate, there was not a room but a different dimension. The place was a cultivation abode owned by King Roku.

Just like when they opened the gate a few weeks ago, this time, the trio was also received by a powerful force.

In size, the dimension could compare with a city, and powerful white lightning storms shrouded every corner of it.

Kriz, Jury, and Sebastian saw a wonderful sight as the lighting strikes clashed against the ground, unleashing monstrous devastation.

However, there were times when the white lightning reached the extreme, and instead of destruction, it provoked the opposite effect.

Trees mutated, some right away becoming Rank 1 life forms, while others changed species. Rocks transformed into shining minerals, or even more impressively, they developed the primary states of consciousness.

It would be wrong to call the power in the white lightning life since it fitted more the term evolution.

The phenomenon marveled at the trio. Kriz's eyes narrowed when he saw the thousands of giant blue stalactites spread all over the dimension.

'Those are Lightning Hearts!' The bald eunuch was surprised by the presence of the stalactites since he knew how valuable they were.

Lightning Hearts were excellent cultivation resources beneficial for those who trained the Law of Lightning.

Usually, individuals would slowly decipher the mysteries behind the stalactites' creation while enjoying their radiation, but Kriz saw how white plasma pillars were devouring them.

The bald eunuch traced the pillar back to the center of the lightning storm.

Hidden among the storm clouds, Kriz saw a magnificent white electric sun, surrounded by all kinds of mythical creatures formed of lightning.

For a second, the eunuch thought he saw the Law Domain of a Primary Sun Domain Stage existence, but he soon erased that thought.

'Invictus's Soul Origin still hasn't reached the level where he can project his Inner Law Dimension into the real world, so that is not a Law Domain. But then, what kind of law and force can display such imposing power?'

Unfortunately for the bald eunuch, he did not have the chance to find an answer, as his mind froze when he felt that the person inside the white sun woke up and focused on him.
