Chapter 612: Chapter 572: The End of the Great War

Li Wei fled from the Jade Prince with all his speed.

The Jade Prince saw the few glittering Magic Crystals before him and sensed immense danger.

He instinctively raised his Divine Sword to shatter them.

Before he could strike, the power within the Magic Crystals erupted.

RUMBLE!

Terror filled the Jade Prince’s eyes.

His vision was instantly engulfed by an endless, blinding light.

In that moment, it was as if he was witnessing the birth of a sun, the eruption of a supernova.

Li Wei fled into the distance, bringing the Legendary Witch Lich with him.

Looking back, the sky behind them was blindingly bright.

The light from the explosion illuminated the entire Ancient Battlefield.

Hundreds of miles away, Wind Chaser stopped and squinted at the brilliant flash of light in the distance.

A few seconds later, a fierce gale swept over, making it difficult for him to stay standing.

Li Wei landed on the ground, erecting a Defense Magic Shield to block the terrifying shockwave.

The very earth cracked open from the blast, and the entire landmass trembled.

An unknown amount of time passed before everything finally fell silent.

Li Wei slowly flew into the sky and saw that the dark clouds that had perpetually shrouded the Ancient Battlefield were gone.

The entire night sky was revealed.

The explosion’s shockwave had torn all the clouds to shreds.

He looked toward the center of the explosion.

All that remained was a massive, deep crater.

The plain had been transformed into a giant basin.

Even Li Wei himself was horrified by this earth-shattering power.

The Legendary Witch Lich regained his mobility and stared at the distant battlefield, his eyes filled with utter shock.

He looked at Li Wei in utter disbelief.

"You did this?" the Legendary Witch Lich couldn’t help but ask.

Li Wei nodded. "Just a little trick."

The Legendary Witch Lich was shaken to his core.

’This is completely absurd.’

He had once been a Legendary Mage before being reborn as a Witch Lich.

No one knew better than him just how terrifying the power of a Legendary Mage could be.

’But this power... it’s far beyond the scope of a Legendary Mage, isn’t it?’

’Even Demigod Level Powerhouses might not possess such terrifying power.’

As if sensing the Legendary Witch Lich’s doubts, Li Wei chuckled. "Of course, I couldn’t unleash such immense might on my own. I just used a bit of my own power to leverage the power of the world."

"I just borrowed a little bit of power from the world’s Rules."

Element Fusion was a power derived from the world’s fundamental Rules.

It belonged to the Laws and Rules of the world.

Li Wei had simply used his authority—the Middle Level Element Fusion Rules—to leverage the power of Element Fusion.

Element Fusion operated on a special rule of chain reactions. All Li Wei did was initiate the reaction, then wait for it to build over time until it grew exponentially.

At that point, it was already far beyond Li Wei’s ability to control.

Everything that followed was simply the world’s Rules driving the chain reaction onward.

This continued until the chain reaction collapsed, releasing all the energy generated by the Element Fusion in a single, world-shaking mega-explosion.

Other than being the one who pushed the button to start the Element Fusion’s chain reaction, the subsequent process had nothing to do with Li Wei at all.

The Legendary Witch Lich was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he murmured, "Magic Truth?"

Li Wei was a little surprised to hear this.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Let’s just say it’s a part of Magic Truth."

The so-called Magic Truth was, in essence, the grand unified theory that explained the workings of the world.

Element Fusion proved that the creation myth—that the world was formed from four basic elements—was true.

Therefore, it naturally counted as touching upon the so-called Magic Truth.

The Magic Truth was the ultimate goal shared by all Mages.

Mages believed that by mastering the Magic Truth, they could do anything and solve any problem.

It was, in other words, the so-called universal formula.

Li Wei glanced at the crater. "All your undead have been wiped out."

The Legendary Witch Lich was completely unconcerned. "It doesn’t matter. As long as we killed him, that’s all that counts. There are countless more undead in the Netherworld."

He sighed. "The Jade Prince was already this powerful... That Demon Dragon King, who they say can fight even a Divine Spirit to the death, must be even more terrifying."

"It seems my own power is still insufficient."

He gazed at the massive crater and, without turning back, said to Li Wei, "Killing the Jade Prince has fulfilled one of my long-held wishes. Next, I will travel to the Dark World to accumulate greater power. In the future, I will wage my war of vengeance against the Demon Dragon King."

Li Wei watched him in silence. ’If the Legendary Witch Lich disappears from the world now,’ he thought, ’perhaps the Ancient Battlefield Ruins can finally be at peace.’

’The Elemental Tower would no longer have to worry about an Undead Calamity, either.’

The Legendary Witch Lich had already used the undead within the Ancient Battlefield Ruins to launch an Undead Calamity once before.

Now, the undead within the Ancient Battlefield had been all but wiped out.

There would be no need to worry about a new undead crisis erupting for at least a thousand years.

If everything could settle down, it would be a good thing for Li Wei as well.

At the very least, since he was now affiliated with the Elemental Tower, a stable tower meant he could focus on his own affairs in peace.

Li Wei said, "In that case, I wish you a safe journey."

The Legendary Witch Lich looked at Li Wei, gave a bitter laugh, and said with feeling, "Meeting you again... I can hardly even imagine the extent of your power."

"Perhaps the next time we meet, you’ll already be a Demigod."

Li Wei just smiled. "Perhaps."

"By the way, was that a Divine Artifact you used earlier?" Li Wei asked curiously.

The Legendary Witch Lich nodded. "It is a Divine Artifact from the Netherworld—the Scythe of Death."
