Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 725: The Dark Lord and the Naga Ring (I)

7:00 PM.

Huigang Town-Port Area.

Night had fallen, and darkness engulfed this already dilapidated place.

The sky was gloomy and starless, and dark blue clouds hung low on the horizon, blending with the surface of the foggy sea, making it difficult to distinguish.

The cold wind whistled across the sea, bringing with it a biting chill, echoing in the empty harbor with a whimpering sound.

The abandoned docks and rusty trade warehouses stand in the night like silent giants, witnessing this long-abandoned corner.

The pier extends into the sea, and a few dilapidated ships float lonely on the sea, ready to be swept away by the waves at any time.

The atmosphere at the port was particularly gloomy. The air was filled with the smell of sea water mixed with rotting wood, adding an indescribable sense of oppression.

As the wind passed, the previously silent waves hit the edge of the pier, making a low thumping sound.

In front of this deserted port, a black figure stood.

He was wearing a black windbreaker, with a hint of light blond hair showing under the brim of his hat. In the night, his golden pupils were like a glimmer of light in the darkness, standing out particularly well.

At this moment, Xia Xiu was holding the [Lever of Heaven] in his right hand, which had transformed into a 15-inch magic wand, and was staring at the sea of ​​fog quietly with a stern expression and sharp eyes.

"This is where my fleeting spiritual perception captured me. The students of the Deer Academy are together with the Emerald Guardian, the official organization of the 98th-ranked 'Realm of Oakrum' in the Hundred Layers World..." he muttered to himself.

Behind Xia Xiu, Vashak was floating quietly. His incarnation looked like an ancient and majestic statue. In his right hand was suspended a silver virtual clock that rotated counterclockwise, making a low ticking sound, and was replaying fragments of the past.

The Time Demon sensed traces of ancient magic remaining around him.

At that moment, fragments of past time appeared before his eyes through Vashak's ability like ripples on the water.

However, these fluctuations were disturbed by some powerful force, and the flashback of time seemed unusually vague.

Xia Xiu frowned and quickly summarized these clues in his mind.

"Their leader is very alert and decisive. He knows how to evade and counter the 'wherever there is a word, there must be a trace'. He should be carrying anti-theurgy items."

Xia Xiu's thoughts were racing, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his mind was quickly analyzing the fragments of spiritual perception he had just captured.

"Judging from the fluctuations of the thaumaturgical field, this should be the 'anti-magic field' of the VIII-ring spell..."

He was analyzing the clues around him in his mind.

"Moreover, it was made using technology engraved on an ancient magic scroll. This is a huge undertaking and the cost is very high. It seems that my unintentional glance at that time frightened the leader quite a bit."

[Vashak]'s time insight continued to explore, and despite the interference of a large number of anti-magic means, Xia Xiu was still able to capture some remaining spiritual traces.

Especially those white-haired whales taken in by the students of the Deer Academy. Their traces were faintly visible on the surface of the Misty Sea, carrying some spiritual residue that could not be completely erased.

Vashak's ability traced back to the scene when the white whales were taken in by the students of the Deer Academy. Then the picture became blurred, and the fragmented fragments seemed to reveal some details related to the ceremony of going to the Hundred Layer World.

"As expected, the wizarding world has always implemented a closed hub policy, and the confidentiality agreement for entry and exit control is very strict."

Xia Xiu whispered, a hint of coldness flashing in his golden eyes.

"They have very strict control over the entry and exit of the Hundred Layer World, even using anti-magic scrolls to cover up the traces."

He paced slowly, the ground beneath his feet echoing slightly, and the mist kept moving with the cold wind, like invisible tentacles trying to hide this area in nothingness.

"You are so careful that you don't even dare to leave a mark."

"They have made great achievements in prophecy magic and believe in it. I'm afraid their recent actions are driven by this prophecy. They are on the alert and are afraid of dangers."

"Dark Lord, hehe." Xia Xiu sneered and slowly raised the [Lever of Heaven] in the shape of a magic wand in his hand.

With his every move, three miniaturized [Triple Crown] phantoms appeared behind his head. Each circle of halo was glowing with a cold light, as if endless power was surging within it.

The [Crown of Thorns] symbolizing the realm of true name gradually took shape on his head.

"The more you don't want me to go in, the more curious I am about what you are doing."

Xia Xiu's eyes were sharp, and there was a hint of contempt in his tone.

"Before the power of the Kingdom of Heaven had not completely radiated to the Federation, your petty fighting could be ignored."

"But now, the situation has changed."

As his tone gradually became low and cold, the silver wand in his hand emitted a strange energy fluctuation, and an extremely complex [∞] symbol appeared on the top of the wand, which distorted the space and brought with it an indescribable power.

Vashak appeared silently behind him, holding a silver virtual clock that rotated counterclockwise in each hand. Every time the clock turned, it seemed to shake time itself.

Now, here comes the Authority.

The Hundred Layer World is about to change the way they do things.

We have to decide who is the king and who is the big king.

[Crown Blessing-Crown of Thorns——]

[Heaven's Lever - Electronic Pump - Void Channel——]

[Time Slot - Rewind Program——]

The triple magic was activated, and the terrifying crown blessing drove the huge ether floating-point computing resources. The huge resources poured into the [Lever of Heaven] to activate the electronic pump to pry the nearby traces of the void channel, while [Vashak] used the authority to trace back the similar fluctuations of the channel.

With the help of this force, the three halos emitted a sharp "hissing" sound of overheating, and the huge ether floating-point computing resources were consumed crazily and poured into the lever.

The operation of the electronic pump tore through the void, gradually revealing a virtual channel hidden in the turbulence.

The channel is not stable. Space turbulence is raging wildly around the channel, accompanied by strong energy fluctuations. It may even collapse in the next second.

But for Xia Xiu, this was enough.

He looked at the unstable passage that had been pried open, his golden eyes flickering slightly.

Whether it is stable or accurate is another matter.

All he needs is to enter the Hundred Layer World.

click-

The void channel could no longer be expanded and was in danger of collapse at any time. Xia Xiu immediately stepped into the distorted space. Powerful spatial turbulence scraped his body, but it was distorted by a series of Möbius strips. He raised the silver magic wand, tore open the channel with a powerful gesture, and began to teleport.

"In an endless dream, fog obscured everything, but the light of a silver staff pierced through the fog, revealing the beginning of destruction—"

A world of a hundred layers.

NO.13-Naga Ring.

Poison Surge Season - Aspect of Zelka.

The Poison Surge is a season in the entire Naga Circle that symbolizes the surge of toxins and vitality, especially closely related to snake magic, while the Zelka phase heralds the peak of time and prophecy magic. At this time, the entire plane is surrounded by a powerful magical energy, and wizards use the movement of the three moons to cast spells, prophesy, and summon.

As a higher-level plane in the Hundred Layers of the World, the Naga Ring has an extremely complex celestial system, but it still maintains a close physical connection with the real world.

Its gravity and temperature are relatively stable, and its climate is very similar to that of the real world, making the physical pressure felt by creatures and wizards here similar to that of Terra.

However, unlike the real world, the rules of the Naga Ring are extremely rich and stable, especially snake-related magic and prophecy, which have unique advantages here.

The main celestial system of the Naga Ring consists of one sun, Saltos, and three satellites (moons).

Saltos not only provides light and warmth to the wizards and creatures here, but also enables wizards to reach the peak of their spellcasting during the day through its powerful magical radiation.

The three moons have an influence on different schools of magic: the dark green Aesir is closely related to snake magic, the silver-white Zelka symbolizes prophecy and time, and the blood-red Nartus dominates the peak period of transfiguration and curse magic.

During the Zelka Phase, prophecy and time magic are particularly powerful, and wizards combine astrology with snake magic to spy on the mysteries of the future.

The Naga Ring is composed of four major plates, among which the Akares Plate is the most prosperous and powerful area.

The city of Arcadia, as the political and supernatural center of the entire plane, stands in this plate.

The buildings here are ancient and magnificent, full of the aura of ancient snake gods, and densely covered with coiled snake carvings and runes.

Every building in the city exudes powerful magical fluctuations, and wizards in robes can be seen walking around everywhere. The staves, runes, and scrolls in their hands show the city's profound magical heritage.

In the center of the city of Arcadian, the one who rules this plane is none other than the "Kaylasel family" - a famous Auror family.

In the heart of the Naga Ring, the Serpent Crystal Council Observation Tower of Arcaden City rises high into the clouds.

This observation tower is a huge cylindrical building surrounded by spiraling snake carvings. The top of the tower is inlaid with sophisticated magical instruments that monitor the changes in the crystal walls in the sky and the fluctuations of the celestial system at all times.

The Observation Tower is not only the core facility of the Serpent Crystal Wall Council, but also an important part of the entire Naga Ring Prophecy System.

Inside the tower, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The seventy-six-year-old red-robed wizard Alex Kylasser was standing on the observation platform at the top of the tower, staring closely at the changes in the sky through complex magical instruments.

He is the guardian of the Serpent Crystal Wall Council and the elder of the Kailasel family. He wears a red robe embroidered with golden snake patterns, symbolizing the supreme authority of the Giant Serpent Sect.

As the holder of the First-Class Order of Merlin and a senior wizard who also practices prophecy, he has spent his entire life guarding the crystal wall system of the Naga Ring, but at this moment, his face was pale and fine beads of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

In the sky, the three predicted celestial bodies are moving slowly as usual.

But suddenly, the third twin star, Evir, flashed a dazzling white light in the sky.

This phenomenon was completely beyond the expectations of all wizards.

As the white light spread, the entire sky seemed to be lit up, and the brief conflict between light and shadow instantly illuminated the night sky of the entire Hundred Layers World.

Drop drop drop-

Drop drop drop-

Drop drop drop-

The magical instruments in the tower made rapid humming sounds, the pointers swung wildly, and the faces of the prophetic wizards were pale in the ominous light.

Alex's eyes were fixed on the starry sky displayed by the instrument. As the white light faded, it was predicted that the celestial system would experience violent shocks.

Then, Yves's light quickly dimmed, and finally fell into the void and disappeared.

The entire sky fell into silence at the moment the twinkling stars fell. The originally twinkling stars dimmed one by one, and the night sky became like endless darkness.

Energy fluctuations swept over quickly, covering the entire Naga Ring. Powerful shock waves surged in all directions like a tide, as if to devour everything on this plane.

The wizards in the tower were all terrified. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear of the unknown.

Everyone knows that the fall of the twin stars is no accident. It indicates that some extremely terrifying force is awakening.

Alex muttered to himself, his eyes revealing undisguised horror:
"This is... a sign of the coming of the Dark Lord..."

"Where exactly is the landing point?"

"We must find the landing point, we must find the landing point!!!"

At this time, Alex Kailasel stood on the top of the observation tower of the Serpent Spirit Crystal Wall Council, his eyes fixed on the crystal wall at the distant horizon.

It was a translucent energy barrier that enveloped the entire Naga Ring, isolating the plane in safe magic like a huge dome.

The crystal wall seems impeccable, but Alex knows that this barrier is not just a physical protection. It carries the flow of all the magical energy of the Naga Ring and maintains the balance between the plane and the outside world.

However, now, the crystal wall is undergoing unnatural changes.

At first, there were only slight fluctuations on the crystal wall, like ripples on the water caused by a breeze.

But a moment later, the ripples suddenly intensified, the entire crystal wall began to tremble, energy fluctuations spread wildly on the surface of the barrier, and distorted light and shadows flickered continuously in the night sky.

Alex's heart sank suddenly as he realized that this was not just the aftermath of an unusual celestial movement, but some deeper threat that was impacting the core of the crystal wall.

The vibrations of the crystal wall became more and more violent. The barrier that was originally as clear as crystal began to show crack-like flashes. Huge pressure was impacting it from the outside.

Silver arcs of magic appeared on the surface of the crystal wall and quickly spread along the edge of the barrier. The air was filled with piercing buzzing sounds and strong magical vibrations.

The old Auror's face turned even paler, his fingers tightly gripped the edge of the instrument, his eyes filled with fear.

"No...impossible..."

He muttered to himself, his eyes still fixed on the rapidly spreading cracks on the crystal wall.

"The crystal wall...it's collapsing." There was an undisguised tremor in the old Auror's voice.

He had seen the vibrations of crystal walls caused by unusual movements of celestial bodies, but he had never seen such a violent energy impact.

At this moment, he was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter. This violent fluctuation meant that the crystal wall system was under great threat from the outside world, and a terrifying force that was powerful enough to tear apart the plane's defense line was approaching.

"How could this happen... The fall of the Gemini planets would not be so serious... Unless..." A trace of extreme fear flashed in his eyes, and an incredible guess suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Unless... it is the power of the Dark Lord that is impacting the crystal wall!"

"The Dark Lord's landing point is... the Naga Ring!?"

Looking at the changes in the sky, the old Auror couldn't help but think of the prophecy:

“When the third twin star falls in the night sky of the Hundred Layers World, the arrangement of the stars will no longer be stable, and the shadow of nothingness will devour everything.

At that time, the wizard's scepter will be unable to control the world, the most ancient magic will collapse, and the entire hundred-layer world will be torn apart in the collision of strong light and darkness. 』
