Chapter 659

Jie Ming's spiritual sense swept across the energy fluctuations of those three people, all of whom were sixth-tier.

Two men and one woman, wearing wizard robes of different styles, maintaining a guarded distance from each other.

"Luck is not bad, it seems I didn't meet people from the same force, but I can't relax my vigilance—" Jie Ming lowered his eyes.

The four people glided silently in the low altitude, passing through the projected streets.

The surrounding environment became darker and darker, and a kind of viscous dark substance began to appear in the air, like ink spreading in water, swallowing the light bit by bit.

Suddenly, it started to rain.

Raindrops fell from the dark purple sky, each carrying heavy energy fluctuations, hitting the ground and making a dull sound.

The raindrops turned into water mist the moment they touched the ground, the water mist did not sink, but drifted upward against gravity, forming layers of constantly twisting and changing fog curtains in the air.

"Heh, coming with ill intent—"

Jie Ming could feel the energy field of this city targeting them, similar to a kind of instinctual rejection, just like the human immune system attacking invading pathogens.

It seems this City of Emptiness also discovered the problem of the wizards and made a response without hesitation.

Soon, several people landed on a bridgehead.

The bridge was a stone arch bridge, the bridge deck was not wide, and there were low stone railings on both sides.

The river under the bridge began to change the moment several people approached, and after several people landed, the originally clear river water turned into a layer of black viscous flowing substance wriggling in the riverbed.

The other end of the bridge was a straight stone road, with some low shops on both sides of the road, the signs crooked, and the windows pitch black.

Standing in the middle of the bridge was a person.

It was a huge figure holding a black umbrella.

Its height was at least three meters, wearing a black robe of indeterminate material, the hem of the robe was extremely long, dragging on the ground all the time.

Its face—or rather the black plane where its face should be—had no features.

The black umbrella it held had a diameter of over two meters, the umbrella ribs were black metal, and the umbrella handle was some kind of animal bone joint.

Two sixth-tier wizards landed slightly closer to the bridge deck and stepped into the shadow under the umbrella the moment they stepped onto the bridge deck.

The moment their soles landed on the ground, the change in their bodies began.

Within a few seconds, their skin turned from a healthy luster to a gray-yellow waxy color, and wrinkles spread from the corners of their eyes and mouths to the surroundings, crawling over their entire faces like spider webs.

Their hair turned white from the roots, dyeing their entire black hair gray-white in less than a second.

Muscles atrophied, bones became brittle, and blood vessels hardened.

Their bodies were aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jie Ming's eyes couldn't help but widen.

He could clearly feel the fluctuation of the "death" law, and also understood the reason for this change in these wizards.

This was "death" itself starting in their bodies simultaneously, tearing off all labels belonging to "living" one by one.

One of the sixth-tier wizards looked down calmly at his own hands that were already withering, and then raised that hand that was only left with bone and a thin layer of skin, and shook it casually.

Muscles detached from the bones, like a piece of clothing that had been worn for too long and finally fell apart.

But he didn't look at the broken meat that fell to the ground, but used that finger bone that was exposed to draw a rune in the void.

That seemingly simple rune easily blocked the death law that was trying to continue invading.

And after the death law that caused the influence was isolated, those broken pieces of meat on the ground vaporized in an instant and reorganized into new muscle tissue.

Spreading outward from the surface of the bones, it covered his entire hand in less than two seconds.

The new muscles were fuller and stronger than the original ones, and the skin surface even glowed with a layer of healthy ruddiness.

The other sixth-tier wizard's response was more violent; he directly discarded his own aged body, followed the fluctuation of the death law, turned into a body composed of death power, and directly immunized against the bizarre attack.

Jie Ming stood at the bridgehead, the Eye of Omnipotence and the Fate System operating simultaneously, and a large amount of data flew rapidly in his consciousness.

Jie Ming quickly understood the operating rules of this bizarre entity.

Speaking of which, it is actually very simple; the main body of this bizarre entity is actually that umbrella.

The area covered by the shadow under the umbrella is a domain completely dominated by the concept of "natural death."

In this domain, all life forms will automatically enter the death process.

Disaster-level.

Undoubtedly Disaster-level.

And not an ordinary Disaster-level.

Although the influence range is not large, the lethality of this bizarre entity is even strong enough to reach a level that can cause influence on sixth-tier wizards.

Its death law is so pure that it has almost no impurities; if calculated by the wizard's standard, the mastery of this thing's death law is probably over 150%.

The wizard's so-called law mastery is not the percentage of the wizard's mastery of the "entirety" of a single law, but refers to the "progress bar" of the standard for promoting to a sixth-tier wizard.

Reaching 100% law mastery only means that the wizard has the foundation to be promoted to sixth-tier.

Sixth-tier wizards want to be promoted to seventh-tier, and their expansion and deepening of their own law knowledge is essentially research and understanding of deeper law knowledge.

If only looking at the level of law mastery, the degree of this bizarre entity's control over laws even exceeds many wizards who have just risen to sixth-tier.

Even if the bizarre entity is a rule creature born from the plane's origin, it is extremely rare to have this level of law mastery.

So, relying on not low law mastery, this thing can indeed cause damage to sixth-tier wizards.

—Theoretically, this is the case.

Actually—those two sixth-tier wizards proved with facts that this possibility only exists in theory.

For them, the death law was indeed activated, and their bodies were indeed dead.

But they didn't care.

If one body died, just grow another one.

Even if the soul was affected, as long as the proportion of "death" was not high, there would be no problem.

Their self-consciousness was not shaken, and their power was not affected by any substantial influence.

The death law killed their flesh, and they covered the result of the death law killing them the moment they were killed.

This is a high-tier wizard; with the increase of level and age, the means become richer and richer, and it also becomes harder and harder to kill.

After parsing the essence of this bizarre entity, Jie Ming was quite tempted.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to make a move, those two sixth-tier wizards had already moved.

The wizard who turned himself into a death energy creature had countless cracks on his body, and a large number of semi-transparent viscous tentacles surged out from the cracks.

Those tentacles neatly and cleanly broke through the umbrella holder's defense and wrapped directly around the umbrella surface.

The other wizard stretched out his hand at the same instant, five fingers spread, and grasped the shadow under the umbrella holder's feet in the void.

That shadow representing the death law domain was "compressed" by this wizard's grasp.

Originally, this shadow had no boundaries and could expand and contract freely with the angle of light.

Now, under that seemingly unremarkable grasp, its range was fixed, and its nature was changed.

The shadow cast by the umbrella was instead controlled by this wizard, forming snakes made of shadows, binding the umbrella holder in reverse.

The umbrella holder's body stiffened.

It had no features on its face, so no expression could be seen, but the black umbrella trembled violently in its hand, exposing a kind of emotion similar to "confusion" or "panic."

It tried to take the umbrella back, but those semi-transparent tentacles were wrapped too tightly, and the umbrella surface made a harsh metal tearing sound during the pulling.

As for running away—when its body was bound by its own shadow, it was already out of the question.

The two sixth-tier wizards exerted force at the same time, and the efficiency was terrifyingly high.

The tentacles dragged the umbrella surface together with the umbrella holder toward the direction of the wizard who was controlling the shadow.

The wizard controlling the shadow closed his hands in the void, like closing an open book.

The umbrella holder's body collapsed in his closed palms, turning from a three-meter-tall huge figure into a black bead the size of a thumb, hovering above his palm.

The entire sealing process ended in almost the blink of an eye.

Jie Ming stood at the bridgehead, looking at the aftermath of the death law slowly dissipating on that black bead, and withdrew his hand that had already been raised with slight regret.

The two wizards were too fast, he didn't even have a chance to make a move.

However, after the regret, the corners of his mouth even curved slightly because he was too happy.

Being able to encounter this level of bizarre entity just after entering, this matter itself made him excited.

Disaster-level death law bizarre entity, and the law mastery is terrifyingly high.

In the wizard world, if you want to study this level of law entity at close range, you either need to pay a huge price or need to wait in line for hundreds of years in the private plane of some big shot.

And here, in this City of Emptiness that had just been born, this level of bizarre entity is popping out of cracks like weeds.

This is just the beginning.

In this city, there are more such bizarre entities.

His hand was put down and inserted into the pocket of his long robe.

The Eye of Omnipotence and the Fate System were still operating, but the power was adjusted lower, maintaining a standby state of "can be fully activated at any time."

Jie Ming looked up, his gaze passing through the pouring rain, looking into the deeper part of the city.

The dark purple sky was replaced by a thicker darkness in the "sky" of this area, and those water mists drifting against gravity formed countless twisting and changing patterns in the darkness.

In the depths of those patterns, he could feel more energy fluctuations waking up rapidly.

It seems that the actions of the wizards angered this city.

For ordinary intruders, this is simply a disaster, but for wizards—

"Truly—exactly what I wanted."

Jie Ming stepped across the bridge with slight anticipation, his footsteps stepping on the stone road wet by the rain, making a slight sound.

Those three sixth-tier wizards had already entered the street on the other side of the bridge one step ahead of him.

The figures of several people became blurry in the rain curtain and were soon swallowed by those twisting water mists.
