Chapter 1131: Level 27 Wizard

Two Thunder Lords!

Besides these, there are dozens of Elements, including many very high‑level melee Elements and a series of lightning spells, but in Lei En's eyes, even all those Elements together are still inferior to a single Thunder Lord.

Moreover, Akun Da is a Loa that has undergone eight Soul Transformations, equivalent to a middle Saint Rank, exactly matching his own rank.

As long as its divinity is drained, it can be fused.

But Lei En hesitated.

According to Usok, this Loa Akun Da has a relatively peaceful and tolerant temperament; his own principle is "do not offend me, I do not offend others," and he holds no grudge against Akun Da, so killing it merely for its Elements feels a bit uncomfortable.

In the palace, the sound of water never ceases; high‑ranking priests continuously wet Akun Da's body with poison water, and the Loa priest transformed from a Thundercast Celestial Soldier pours the poison water into its mouth, keeping it in slumber.

Lei En glanced at the trolls.

If he kills them, no one in the world will know this secret.

"Alas…"

He sighed softly in his heart, comforting himself that even if he does not strike Akun Da, the Loa priest will drain its divinity, and it will ultimately not escape death.

If he awakens it now, it will not be grateful to him; discovering the loss of the Ancient Saint Altar will plunge it into fury.

Even the most magnanimous Loa would never willingly surrender the Ancient Saint Altar, its territory, and its followers.

"Just your bad luck,"

"All I can do is make your death painless."

Lei En's mind set, he raised his hand and released Time Stop; instantly the entire palace was enveloped by an invisible force, Akun Da still showed no reaction, all high‑ranking priests in the great pool were immobilized, even their thoughts halted.

He triggered a startling thunder leap, his figure instantly circled the pool once and then returned to his spot.

Time Stop ended prematurely.

Over a dozen high‑ranking priests collapsed and burst dead, each troll bearing a blood‑filled hole piercing its forehead.

Their souls were absorbed the moment they left their bodies.

Portals opened one after another, and from them emerged over a dozen Thundercast Celestial Soldiers transformed into troll priests, taking over the task, continuing to douse Akun Da with poison water to keep it asleep.

Sheng Jilesi appeared before Akun Da, extending a hand to press against its forehead.

Immediately, a massive divinity was drawn out; Sheng Jilesi's arm glowed with holy light, visible streams of energy surged along the arm into his body, and the divinity numbers on the mobile interface frantically jumped, increasing by thousands per second!

Sheng Jilesi's efficiency at extracting divinity is such that one day equals what that Loa priest can achieve in an entire year, a difference of tens of thousands of times.

"Ugh…"

Akun Da suddenly twitched slightly.

The fierce loss of divinity stimulated its Willpower; its body trembled, thick arcs of electricity erupted on its skin, as if it were about to awaken.

Sheng Jilesi immediately halted the rate of divinity extraction.

Lei En also released a Nine-ring Weak Energy Technique on it, then cast several mind spells—Soothing Light, Mind Freeze, Truth Spell: Illusion—though most effects were resisted, the sheer number of spells eventually calmed it.

Once confirming Akun Da had not awakened, Sheng Jilesi resumed extracting divinity, deliberately slowing the pace.

Every few minutes Sheng Jilesi paused, allowing Lei En to soothe.

After dozens of cycles, Akun Da's divinity was exhausted, all of it transferred into Sheng Jilesi's body and completed transformation.

The mobile interface showed the divinity number had reached 350,000!

At this point, Akun Da's size shrank considerably, down to about twenty‑five meters; though still a massive beast, it no longer exuded the semi‑divine aura that once deterred mortals. Its coarse bluish‑gray skin appeared dull, and its emanation consisted solely of pure thunder power.

Without the Ancient Saint Altar and without divinity, Akun Da is merely a middle‑rank Saint Rank beast.

Its strength is now below thirty percent; killing it now will be much easier.

Lei En did not hesitate, releasing Time Stop again.

He raised his hand, grasped, and the Three-God Crown on his head activated, summoning a plain‑styled golden holy sword.

This is the "Sword of Tiriel," forged from the God of Justice's divine power, unmatched in sharpness, bearing all the abilities and spells of holy swordsmen; wielding it makes one Tiriel's earthly emissary, one of the honorary Sword Saints of the Justice Church!

Lei En's body swelled to over twenty meters tall, his head nearly touching the palace dome.

The Sword of Tiriel simultaneously enlarged, becoming a towering giant sword.

Within Time Stop, he walked to Akun Da's side, raised the Sword of Tiriel, and with all his might struck down in a single slash, the flash of light vanishing instantly.

Poof!

Lei En returned to his normal size; after Time Stop ended, Akun Da's head separated from its body, the incision smooth as a mirror, a torrent of fresh blood gushed out, instantly staining the great pool red.

He took out a Purple Source Soul Crystal, affixed it, and captured a demon soul within.

"Five-ring Freeze Technique."

Lei En used Wish Spell to freeze Akun Da's wound, stopping the bleeding, and sealed its corpse and head into the Pixel World, to be dealt with later.

He looked at the Purple Source Soul Crystal in his hand; a thunder lizard demon soul materialized, dozens of Elements displayed before him, with two Thunder Lords prominently listed.

In addition there was a lightning entity.

As for the other Elements, most were of little use; only two or three he had not mastered, such as "Thunder Pierce" and the Nine-ring "Plasma Breath."

Because Akun Da has only eight Soul Transformations, it lacks a Ten-ring Spell.

Lei En was already highly satisfied; his Soul Eye appraised Akun Da's demon soul, finding its soul‑wave frequency very close to his own, giving an extremely high fusion success rate. He immediately exchanged it with Reslin, returned to the bridge of the Augustus, and entered the meditation chamber to begin the fusion.

Meanwhile.

Ke Er Sa Luo had already led the Radiant Legion, using the teleportation array built over the past half‑month, to teleport directly outside Ge Li Fu's city.

The Radiant Legion had grown to 150,000 troops; this deployment saw Ke Er Sa Luo bring ten thousand himself.

The siege has begun!

Ge Li Fu's Lightning Tribe was caught completely unprepared; all upper‑level informants were already dead, the trolls didn't even know the Loa they worshiped had been slain, the entire city had long been infiltrated by Thundercast Celestial Soldiers, both inside and out, and Ge Li Fu fell within less than a quarter of an hour.

When Akun Da was still alive, it blessed its followers and created Lightning Warriors.

These Lightning Warriors, as the name suggests, wield thunder power, can attach to weapons and cast simple lightning spells, resembling the Empire's Thunder Swordmages, and are quite formidable.

But before the Radiant Legion they are nothing to be reckoned with.

In the city's first frontal clash, the elite Lightning Warriors were all mortally wounded, and thereafter the Lightning tribe could no longer mount resistance.

Ge Li Fu fell within an hour; Ke Er Sa Luo ordered the Radiant Legion to seize the city, then without pause led his troops, using the completed teleportation array to advance to the other four cities of A Wo Dun, and within a day conquered the entire A Wo Dun!

Because Luo A was dead, the troll tribe of A Wo Dun offered no desperate resistance.

Ke Er Sa Luo had also made ample preparations before the war, so in only a few days he smoothly assimilated millions of trolls and incorporated A Wo Dun's army.

The Radiant Legion's size swelled rapidly, reaching 250,000!

Of these, 30,000 were Radiant Warriors, and 20,000 were Thundercast Celestial Soldiers.

A Wo Dun possessed Lightning Warriors, so Thundercast Celestial Soldiers could openly use spells without arousing troll suspicion. The remaining 200,000 troops were split evenly: half Holy Warriors, the other half Berserkers, Troll Hunters, and Lightning Warriors.

After taking A Wo Dun for a few days, the Giant Bear‑led eastern abandoned divine land "Ao Ge Lan De"—its ancient sacred altar, long damaged—was restored by Thundercast Celestial Soldiers over several months and reactivated!

Ke Er Sa Luo immediately seized authority over the ancient sacred altar, channeling energy to power Ao Ge Lan De's teleportation array.

The Radiant Legion, in a single push, conquered Ao Ge Lan De in just three days.

This was a bloody war.

The troll tribe of Ao Ge Lan De, like all abandoned divine lands, did not believe in the Luo A deity and resisted fiercely; Ke Er Sa Luo showed no mercy, leading his legion to cut them down until the enemies were terrified and surrendered.

Hundreds of thousands of trolls perished, their souls absorbed and converted into electricity, which then forged more Radiant Warriors and Thundercast Celestial Soldiers.

After Ao Ge Lan De's conquest, the numbers of Radiant Warriors and Thundercast Celestial Soldiers on the Southern Continent rose by another 50,000.

At this point, Ke Er Sa Luo had seized five ancient sacred altars.

In the southern Gulaman Empire, only one enemy remained: the Flame God Bo Ge Ya En!

Ke Er Sa Luo rested for a few days and decided to strike preemptively.

In the Luo A Temple of Wo Da Xi Er, while meditating, Wu Suoke sensed a void ripple, opened his eyes, and saw a figure he would never forget in his lifetime emerge from a teleportation gate—clad in mithril light armor, a scarlet great cloak draped over his back, a crown woven from golden leaves upon his head, exuding holy majesty that made Wu Suoke's soul shudder.

"Master!" Wu Suoke sprang up, stepping forward to bow respectfully.

Lei En glanced at the Wu Suoke before him.

It had already ascended to Legendary Mage and mastered Transformation Art; now it stood a three‑meter‑tall hulking troll, wearing only half‑length leather trousers, its upper body exposed, muscles bristling with explosive power—a living Berserker.

"Not bad, your learning pace exceeds my expectation," Lei En nodded, giving high praise.

This one, once taught by Luo A, was practically half his student.

Wu Suoke also regarded himself as an apprentice; after ascending to Teleport Mage, he beheld a broader magical world, felt his own ignorance, and grew even more reverent of the magical power Lei En had displayed.

It too desired such power!

The only path was to learn from Lei En, so it completely abandoned thoughts of rebellion and retaking the Creator Altar, devoting itself wholly to obedience, yearning to acquire more magical knowledge and walk farther on the magical path.

Hearing Lei En's commendation, Wu Suoke's heart blossomed.

Lei En produced several items: two crystal bottles of red magic elixir, a precious scroll, a magic talisman, and a necklace, all of epic quality.

He gave everything to Wu Suoke.

"You know how to use these, right?"

Wu Suoke nodded excitedly; it was his first time handling genuine magical items, sensing that they all related to fire, and he was immediately puzzled, not knowing why his master gave them to him.

"Let's go," Lei En said with a smile. "There will be a battle today, and I need you to fight."

"Who are we fighting?" Wu Suoke guessed vaguely.

"Bo Ge Ya En."

Lei En's reply made Wu Suoke's eyelids flicker, yet without hesitation he solemnly nodded and followed.

If earlier he had heard his master would fight Bo Ge Ya En alone, he might have worried; having been neighbors with Bo Ge Ya En for over a thousand years, he knew Luo A's strength well, could only defend himself, with almost no chance of victory.

But with Lei En striking, things were different.

Although Wu Suoke did not know what happened to Ge Li Fu, he saw the outcome: A Kun Da was dead, and Luo A, whose power ranked just below his own, was so easily slain.

Now it was Bo Ge Ya En's turn.

Wu Suoke, upon hearing of A Kun Da's death, knew that this day would soon arrive.

Lei En opened a teleportation gate and stepped through; the instant he passed, he felt weightless, realized he was falling from the sky, and instantly cast a Flight Technique to hover mid‑air. The weather was scorching, the sun hung high in a cloudless sky, beneath lay an endless, humid forest with rising plumes of steam.

Wu Suoke gazed into the distance, faintly seeing the outline of a city.

"Ku Er Sen!"

The Flame God Bo Ge Ya En's Luo A Temple lies at the heart of the Azu Ti Na domain, and the Creator Altar he controls is deep beneath Ku Er Sen.

The void rippled.

Several teleportation gates opened nearby, and four figures stepped out.

Wu Suoke curiously observed them; the four humans differed greatly from his master—some very young, some with white hair and beard, varied builds—but their features matched his master's, clearly also 'human'!

The most startling thing for Wu Suoke was that he sensed surging mana on all four humans.

They were all Grand Mages!

Lei En's gaze swept over his four avatars—Alsha, Zewei'er, Saruman, and Strange—all Grand Mages ranging from th Level to Level thirty‑four.

"We go down," Lei En said.

Saruman raised his hand, casting a mass teleportation, sending everyone into the forest, then opened an Invisibility Field, masking all aura fluctuations.

"Begin."

Strange opened a teleportation gate and stepped through.

Soon, Wu Suoke heard an angry screech from Ku Er Sen; a massive fire‑red figure raced toward them, pursuing Strange at breakneck speed, yet even its swiftness could not match a teleporting master.

Half a minute later, Bo Ge Ya En entered view, clearly visible.

His colossal wings blazed with fierce fire, trailing ethereal tail feathers hundreds of meters long; divine aura spread like a sun, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

Wu Suoke couldn't help feeling nervous.

"Prepare for battle."

Lei En nodded at him; Wu Suoke immediately drank the two elixirs, tore open the scroll to empower himself, and activated two magical items. The three Grand Mages also cast swiftly, granting Wu Suoke a dozen protective spells; his magical aura shimmered in rainbow‑hued radiance.

All preparations are ready, Lei En lifted the Thunder God's Hammer, activating the war hammer's attached strongest spell.

Ten Rings, Anheluoz's Heavenly Punishment Thunder Prison Technique!
