Chapter 430: Level Eleven Wizard

This portal is unlike any we have seen before.

It has a crystal‑framed edge that other portals lack, a half‑circular arch over four meters high, standing on a platform also constructed of crystal; at its center a ring of purple energy vortex radiates dazzling colored light.

The light gradually fades to transparency, revealing the scene on the other side.

The Extreme Warriors stared dumbfounded.

Lei En himself was surprised; this seemed not a simple spell but the summoning of an artificially constructed teleportation channel.

As the summoner of the Void Spirit Gate, he possessed greater knowledge.

This peculiar portal can persist for about ten minutes; once that time elapses, if he continues to feed it soul power, it can last another ten minutes.

Such a long duration and a wide passage are enough for an entire Transcendent Legion to pass through!

"What are you all just standing around doing?"

Lei En lowered his palm and ordered, "Hurry and move everything over."

The Extreme Warriors snapped back to attention, each beginning to transport the gold, material gems, and most importantly the large water tank from the cargo hold.

Lei En stayed beside the tank himself to prevent any mishap.

The tank is sturdy, about two meters in length and width; a five‑ring portal couldn't pass through, nor could living beings be drawn into a dimensional space ring, but the Void Spirit Gate works perfectly, eliminating the need to carry it.

Passing through the Void Spirit Gate, they emerged in the castle courtyard.

Butler Fabian had already arrived with the Gun‑wing Knights, waiting to assist; together they moved the treasure into the underground vault. Extreme Warriors constantly guarded the place, the Gun‑wing Knights patrolled regularly, and a tight protective formation prevented outsiders from teleporting in, making it extremely secure.

The commotion awoke the sleeping Yi Geng and Jia Laduos, and the two dragons perched on the balcony watched curiously.

Their gazes were sharp, instantly guessing the box was full of treasure.

"Lei En, where did you go making money this time?" Jia Laduos couldn't help asking.

Yi Geng added, "Why didn't you bring us?"

Lei En ignored them.

Instead, Bo Erqi looked up at them, his face smug, shaking his head as he said, "You missed out big time by not coming along! The Holy Soul Wizard led the charge, destroying the Deceiver's temple and a Wu Shi Ta, openly plundering a great city—such an event may not happen once in several centuries, tsk tsk…"

His words contained a wealth of information, leaving the two dragons' eyes wide.

"Shut up!"

Lei En barked, "If you don't want your share, then keep talking."

Although the raid on Mazotus would spread across the Empire within days, making everyone aware, he didn't want anyone to notice his role; he would let the Silver Star Duke take the limelight.

Mumbling about making a fortune is the best!

Bo Erqi craned his neck; Lei En promised him a share of the loot, at least over one hundred thousand Gold Shields, quickly forced a smile and said, "Boss, I won't speak out of turn."

Lei En gave him a warning glance, then closed the Void Spirit Gate and entered the castle.

"Stay outside and don't let anyone disturb me," he told two Extreme Warriors outside the meditation chamber before walking in.

The large water tank had already been placed inside the meditation chamber.

Lei En lifted the black cloth, glanced again, didn't rush to start, but sat down for a half‑hour light meditation, restoring his spirit to peak condition.

He opened his eyes, accessed his MutatedPhone library, and retrieved a meditation method.

It is a meditation method found in the Weizelan Great Library, extremely rare, originating from the silver‑gray Elf clan with the strongest magical aptitude, called the "Lake of the Constellations" meditation; the teacher obtained it centuries ago from an Elf Grand Mage, stored in the Great Library, inaccessible to ordinary Wizards without permission.

Ao Xi Li Ya also practiced the "Lake of the Constellations" meditation.

It belongs to a different system than the Wizard's meditation methods.

Ordinary humans, even with high talent, cannot practice it, because it was created specifically for mages, demanding extremely high aptitude, and the soul must be pure, untainted by any negative influence, especially the Blood Soul Curse.

Lei En prepared to create an avatar with Mysterious Touch, and the avatar can be cultivated.

His initial idea was to make the avatar a Wizard as well, but considering neither he nor the avatar bears the Blood Soul Curse, why limit it to a Wizard?

Only mages, like Ai Lun E Si, are the oldest spellcasters; they need not gather magical souls and soul seals like Wizards, merely learning to master spells. Possessing a MutatedPhone, its multi‑core crystal chips provide god‑defying spell assistance: the phone parses spells within the host's soul and then constructs spell models within the avatar's soul, offering the same aid.

Thus, the avatar's power can grow at the fastest possible rate!

When the Soul Eye sensed the Element, it received abundant data on Mysterious Touch; this fusion of magical souls differed from before, so Lei En mentally reviewed the entire process to ensure no issues before proceeding.

He activated the meditation method's Soundproof Force Field, then lifted the black cloth covering the tank.

Crystal light from above streamed into the tank, instantly stimulating the monster, which darted rapidly through the seawater‑like liquid, its tentacles flailing wildly, emitting a silent roar.

The Truth Will shield its mental attack.

However, the intense visual impact of Mysterious Touch cannot be defended against; it is not a spell but a purely terrifying appearance that makes viewers cringe, blindingly shocking.

Lei En took a deep breath, suppressing his mental discomfort.

His mind became calm.

Then his right index finger elongated into a sharp Bimonli claw, slashing his left wrist's vein; as fresh red blood began to spill, the wound healed instantly.

Lei En could only control his muscles, endure the pain, and tear the wound open.

The fresh blood surged, never touching the ground, hovering before him and coalescing into a mass that grew rapidly, soon expanding to half a head's size, about a thousand milliliters.

Having lost so much blood, Lei En's complexion turned pale.

However, given his current physique, he could endure roughly two consecutive blood donations within his tolerance, and would recover in a few days.

"That should be enough,"

Lei En let the wound heal, then infused soul power into the blood to shape it, rapidly forming blood runes one after another; within minutes they numbered over a thousand. All the runes were identical, and no one in the world besides him knew their origin—they stemmed from the Element of Mysterious Touch.

When all the blood had transformed into runes, Lei En raised his hand, sending the runes aloft to weave a dense grid, like a massive net hovering overhead.

Lei En stood before the tank, lightly striking the lid with his hand.

Snap!

The sturdy glass lid shattered instantly into countless shards, falling into the water; the monster inside immediately sensed the breach, surged up, baring claws, its terrifying body crawling out.

Harken's research notes recorded that the liquid in the tank came from the faerie plane; it is a special toxin that restricts the spatial jumps of the mysterious spirit worm, and has the same effect on Mysterious Touch, forcing it to reveal its true form and preventing escape.

It crawled out of the tank, its tentacles whipping the air.

The body that had been curled into a ball now swelled, expanding several times; its longest tendril stretched seven or eight meters, and the whole form rapidly faded into a translucent, illusory state.

A vast, unmatched pure spiritual force swept the surroundings, almost visible to the naked eye.

The void in the meditation chamber quivered, the crystal lights dimmed inexplicably, as if an indescribable presence had arrived.

Lei En stared directly at the terrifying monster before him.

Countless eyes on it were filled with endless madness, devoid of any wisdom, acting purely on instinct, and it pounced at once.

For anyone else, this horrific sight alone would make the legs go weak and the mind plunge into madness.

Lei En remained unmoved in the face of the attack.

He had already gripped the Arcane Flood Staff, instantly activating a stasis field; the entire meditation chamber was encompassed by the field, the monster was bound in midair, like an insect trapped in amber, unable to move even a single tendril.

After all, it was only a first‑stage legend and could not break free immediately.

Lei En commanded the blood‑colored runes in the air to fall, seeping directly into each bulging eye; the constantly writhing worm‑like flesh seemed frozen, stained with a layer of blood, and the frantic aura waned considerably.

When the stasis field ended, the monster dropped to the ground.

Its body shrank again to only two or three meters, entirely covered in blood, its tendrils retracted, lying silently as if it had lost the strength to struggle.

"It really works!"

Lei En rejoiced; this was the method he had gleaned from the legendary Element rune.

In this state the mysterious Touch had no resistance; the formless spiritual force turned into a tangible entity that could truly be killed. Harken lacked a Soul Eye, could not see its legendary Element, would not form the correct blood‑colored rune, and even after centuries of study could not find a way to kill it.

Lei En drew the Azure Sky Song and thrust a sword into the monster's torso.

The resistance from the blade was slight, as if cutting a normal human body, encountering no obstacle; a single light stroke killed it.

Lei En had pre‑disabled the soul‑absorption function and pressed the soul stone onto the corpse.

Immediately, a peculiar octopus‑like demon soul was extracted, swimming within the soul stone, occasionally flashing the sole Element.

"Success."

Lei En stared at the monster's corpse on the ground, waited a few minutes, and, seeing it did not vanish like foam as recorded in Harken's research, thought, "No more time to waste; fuse the demon soul now, then shape its body into an avatar."

He instantly sat cross‑legged, placing the soul stone against his forehead.

In the meditation chamber, only the sound of a pin dropping could be heard, alongside Lei En's breathing, rising and falling, his expression remaining as calm as ever.

After a moment, he opened his eyes again, exclaiming joyfully, "Eleventh‑level Wizard!"
