Chapter 577: Chapter 554: Legendary Soul (Part 2)

Li Wei unleashed his High Level Flame Rules, attempting to kill the enemy directly with the Power of Rules.

Unfortunately, his enemy also possessed High Level Rule Power.

For a time, neither could gain the upper hand.

The only use for the Holy Flame Domain at the moment was to prevent his opponent from escaping.

The Dragon Hunter’s clothes caught fire.

He slowly stood up and ripped off his burning garments.

This revealed a body completely covered in Dragon Scales.

The moment Saint Xi saw him, she knew he had used a Dragon Blood Potion.

The Dragon Hunter had gained extremely high Magic Resistance from the Giant Dragons he hunted.

It allowed him to withstand Li Wei’s flame attacks.

Ordinary flames had no effect on him.

The High Level Flame Rules, however, did affect him, causing his blood temperature to rise steadily.

But this rising blood temperature actually increased his Power.

Just as the Dragon Hunter was about to attack...

His pupils constricted. Saint Xi had vanished from his sight.

The next second, a tremendous force struck him from behind.

He was slammed viciously into the ground.

In an instant, a large section of the ground shattered, and the Dragon Hunter’s body was driven deep into the earth.

The Dragon Hunter was horrified. ’What is this speed?!’

He couldn’t understand why Saint Xi was so much faster than him.

The reason was simple.

Li Wei had cast the Hour Time Technique on Saint Xi.

The moment Saint Xi had alerted him, Li Wei had cast the Hour Time Technique on her.

That was why the two of them had remained motionless.

With Saint Xi’s time accelerated, her movements were accelerated as well.

If she moved even slightly, the enemy would notice something was wrong.

So, she opted to lie in wait for the perfect moment to strike.

This was the strategy Li Wei and Saint Xi had agreed upon beforehand.

The enemy’s strength was too great.

Even if Li Wei had a chance to win, facing an Assassin-type enemy would likely result in a pyrrhic victory.

They were about to enter the dangerous Endless Sea.

Wasting a chance at resurrection from Nirvana Rebirth here would be a great waste of time.

So, Li Wei came up with the idea of having Saint Xi fight while in a state of accelerated time.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Saint Xi was simply too fast.

Against a Saint Xi whose time was accelerated over three hundred times, the High Tier Legendary Dragon Hunter could do nothing but take a one-sided beating.

He felt utterly suffocated.

This was not the outcome he had wanted.

Saint Xi was also frustrated, desperately wanting to transform into a Giant Dragon and end the fight.

Her power was severely weakened in human form.

The enemy’s physique was comparable to a Giant Dragon’s; she couldn’t kill him quickly.

Only by transforming into her Giant Dragon form and unleashing her full Power could she kill the enemy quickly.

Li Wei told Saint Xi not to rush and to maintain the pressure.

The Fire Elements within the Holy Flame Domain converged on a single point.

Li Wei rolled them into a Fireball the size of his thumb.

A compressed Fireball containing all the Fire Elements from a thousand-meter radius was born.

Inside the compressed Fireball, the Fire Elements were highly active, constantly colliding and exciting each other into a high-energy state.

Combined with Elemental Fission...

A miniature nuclear Fireball took shape.

Li Wei threw the mini-nuke, mentally shouting for Saint Xi to get out of the way.

The time to detonation was less than one ten-thousandth of a second.

The moment Li Wei threw the mini-nuke, Saint Xi had already rapidly retreated.

The Legendary Dragon Hunter was still in a defensive stance.

He was surprised that the attack he’d been anticipating hadn’t come.

He reacted quickly, seizing the momentary lull in the assault to leap from the crater.

’Just give me one-tenth of a second, and I can unleash my Giant Dragon Talent Ability, break this suppression, and counterattack!’

The power of the Giant Dragon Talent Ability within the Dragon Hunter was about to be released.

A ball of fire appeared before his eyes.

’What is this?’

The fiery light instantly engulfed the Dragon Hunter.

A blindingly brilliant miniature Sun erupted on the coast.

A massive shockwave pushed the coastline back a hundred meters.

The displaced seawater formed a twenty-meter-high tide that resisted the blast, creating a semicircular arc of waves.

In the not-so-distant Hanhai City, buildings swayed precariously.

Everyone wore expressions of terror.

An earthquake on the coast meant a super tsunami.

A terrifying natural disaster capable of destroying the city.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The superheated air from the explosion surged skyward.

The vaporized seawater rose high into the air, cooling and forming a thick, dark cloud.

Pushed by the blast wave, the dark cloud fragmented and spread out in all directions.

After a long wait, the tremors on the coast finally subsided.

The twenty-meter-plus waves had swept the small boats from the docks up onto the hillside.

Seawater flooded the houses along the coast’s edge.

When the waves receded, all that remained on the coast was a scene of devastation and a massive, water-filled crater.

Suddenly, a ray of sunlight pierced the dim clouds and fell upon the sea.

Li Wei looked up and saw that the approaching storm clouds in the distance had actually changed direction.

They were moving toward the sea to the east.

Hanhai City had been spared a storm.

The storm skirted the coastline, passing by.

It left behind fishermen on the coast, their faces full of relief as they watched the sun reappear.

While some rejoiced, others mourned.

The great storm hadn’t neared the coast, so many fishermen and boatmen had avoided huge losses.

But the fishermen and boatmen near the battlefield of Li Wei and the Dragon Hunter had suffered catastrophic losses.

An entire dock had been completely obliterated in the battle.

To say nothing of the boats moored there.

Life for the common folk in the Magic World was fraught with disaster.

The Dragon Hunter was dead. Utterly.

Caught in the center of the explosion, not even a corpse could be found.

All that remained in his place was a flickering, dark-gold flame.

’A Legendary Soul?’

When a Legendary Level creature dies, there is an extremely small chance it will produce a Legendary Soul.

Devouring a Legendary Soul grants one a Legendary Level Extraordinary Trait.

Li Wei hurriedly collected the Legendary Soul the Dragon Hunter had left behind.

After sending Saint Xi into the Magic Mini World...

Li Wei departed as quickly as he could.

Powerful individuals from Hanhai City were already coming to investigate.

A battle of such staggering power had erupted so close by.

Hanhai City naturally couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.

Just after Li Wei left, the experts from Hanhai City arrived near the battlefield.

They saw that the dock was gone, replaced by a massive, water-filled crater hundreds of meters in diameter.

The arrivals stared at each other in shock.

Someone asked uncertainly, "Was that a Forbidden Curse just now?"

"What happened? Who would cast a Forbidden Curse here?"

"Impossible. Casting a Forbidden Curse would cause massive Magic Fluctuations over a huge area. I didn’t sense any large-scale fluctuations from the city before the spell was cast."

An Elemental Forbidden Curse consumes the Magic Elements from a considerably large area.

Therefore, casting a Forbidden Curse generates extremely wide-ranging Magic Fluctuations.

It’s nearly impossible to conceal.

You wouldn’t even need a Tier Six Mage; even a Tier Five Mage could immediately detect the Magic Fluctuations caused by a Forbidden Curse.

Li Wei’s mini-nuke Fireball operated on the same principle as a Forbidden Curse.

The reason the Mages in Hanhai City hadn’t detected it in advance was because Li Wei’s Holy Flame Domain had contained the Magic Fluctuations.

Furthermore, he only used the Fire Elements within his Holy Flame Domain.

He didn’t draw upon the Magic Elements from the wider world around him.

The resulting Magic Fluctuations were naturally difficult for distant Mages to detect.

It wasn’t until the moment of the explosion, when all the energy was released, that a chain reaction was triggered.

This instantly generated a shocking Magic Fluctuation.

For the Mages who sensed the Magic Fluctuation, it was already too late.

The Forbidden Curse had already taken form.

Even an ordinary person could see the Forbidden Curse erupting.

There was no need to sense Magic Fluctuations at that point.

The Hanhai City Mage Association reported what had happened here.

The Mage Association headquarters would dispatch a Legendary Level Mage to investigate.

A Mage capable of casting a Forbidden Curse was, by definition, a Legendary Level Mage.

For a Legendary Level Mage capable of using Forbidden Curses to suddenly appear, even the Mage Association was baffled.

The Mage Association was responsible for overseeing all Mages in the world.

A Forbidden Curse had suddenly erupted outside Hanhai City, causing immense chaos.

This led the nobles of Hanhai City to file a complaint with the Empire.

A matter involving a Forbidden Curse and a Legendary Mage was no small affair.

Even the Emperor of the Empire personally questioned the Mage Association’s court official about the incident.

By the time the specialist dispatched by the Mage Association arrived, Li Wei was already far from Hanhai City.

If the Mage Association wanted to find him, they had no leads to follow.

After entering the Endless Sea, Li Wei began to freely grind his proficiency with Elemental Fission.

While Saint Xi was still in a deep sleep, living out the one-year duration of the Hour Time Technique, Li Wei went around casting the Elemental Fission Spell everywhere.

The Endless Sea. Specifically, the vast waters bordering the Celestial Vault Continent—the East Sea.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

One after another, massive columns of water erupted from the sea, shooting toward the sky.

The surface of the sea remained turbulent for a long, long time.

All the marine life in the East Sea knew that a "Fish Bombing Mage" had recently appeared.

They knew not to go near the explosion sites.

Lest they become collateral damage for the Fish Bombing Mage.
