Age of Adepts

Under the drowsy and gloomy sky, an arcane guard tower quickly swept across a huge plain full of golden wheat waves.

At the end of the plain, billowing black smoke rose into the sky, and the earth-shattering roar of fighting continued to come.

Looking from a distance, one after another huge strange monsters like hills are crazily colliding and rushing to kill them, and fighting them to the death are huge arcane puppets with a height of hundreds of meters and their bodies made of azure crystal.

The fighting on the ground was earth-shattering, and the sky was not idle either. Strange monsters with eagle wings were fighting bloody battles with arcane guard towers that circled around one after another.

And above their heads, a star beast with a strange shape has already rushed to the particularly large-scale floating city, roaring angrily amidst the dense arcane artillery fire and torrents, destroying everything in front of him with crazy killing.

The star beasts are extremely large, almost every one of them is the size of a human city.

On top of its huge body, there are densely covered huge pitch-black scales, and under its body are densely packed hundreds of thick jointed legs. Don't look at its bloated and ferocious body, but it has agility that is extremely disproportionate to its body.

It twisted its body, roared, and crawled forward quickly.

The intensive artillery fire from the floating fortress and the arcane guard tower exploded into a continuous sea of ​​flames on the surface of its body, leaving one after another a large pit of flesh and blood several meters deep and more than ten meters in diameter. Such injuries would have been dead for a long time on an ordinary creature, but on this gigantic creature with a size of several thousand meters, it was nothing more than scabies, which could not damage its source of life at all.

However, such intensive arcane attacks still caused the star beasts to suffer a lot.

It raised its neck and let out all kinds of strange screams that shook the world, raised its giant claws and swiped around its body, and rows and rows of tall arcane buildings collapsed in a huge pillar of dust. No matter whether it is a person or a building, it is impossible to remain intact under its tens of meters long sharp claws.

Even if those arcane towers protected by powerful arcane power are swept by the giant arthropod legs of this star beast with a thickness of more than ten meters, the transparent arcane barriers outside the tower will be killed in a burst of crackling energy. Squeaky distortion.

If the Arcane Tower doesn't evade in time, and is attacked one after another by the terrifying limbs of the star beast, even the Arcane Tower, known as the Flying Fortress, will explode into a huge ball of fireworks with a burst of earth-shattering explosions.

Even if the official arcane tower is like this, the simple version of the guard tower is even more fragile.

Therefore, in the face of this terrifying star beast rushing to the floating city, a large group of arcanists rushed out from various arcane towers and floating fortresses, and drove a set of tall and mighty arcane puppets to surround the opponent. The side attacked frantically.

And some parasitic beasts inhabiting the surface of the star beasts, driven by the star beasts, fought frantically with the incoming arcane masters and arcane puppets.

The powerful star beast spewed out thick energy beams of different colors, sweeping out a large area of ​​death on the surface of the floating city, while twisting its body and trying to climb towards the magnificent palace at the core.

Wherever its huge body and densely packed thick joints passed, houses collapsed and the earth cracked.

And the purple-black blood flowing from the many wounds on its body fell on the ground, and would soon condense into violent and ferocious bloodthirsty beasts. Their ferocity and power are not inferior to those 2-ring arcanists in the slightest.

And the 2-ring Arcane Tower, even within the Arcane Empire, can be regarded as a relatively noble professional! But for this huge star beast, any drop of blood in its body combined with the matter in the plane can condense into a terrifying second-level monster.

This... also fully demonstrates how powerful and terrifying this star beast is!

This is just a Tier 6 star beast!

If it is placed outside the barriers of the planes, the huge arcane empire can rely on a large number of great arcanists and an extremely powerful demiplane fortress to blast it into flesh and blood with intensive firepower. But when this Tier 6 star beast broke into the plane, although its attack power was limited to the peak of Tier 4, its huge size and super physique made it a terrifying monster that was almost indestructible. .

Facing such a gigantic star beast, even the two arcane emperors whose ranks were as high as 8th rank were a little intimidated.

With their strength, it is no problem to kill this star beast.

However, just because the power they control is too strong, any amount of power spills out, and the damage to this floating city and this plane world will be greater than the damage to this star beast, and it will be more difficult to deal with!

It is also the existence of this reason that makes those great arcanists fearful and helpless.

These star beasts can ignore the huge damage caused by the wild battle to this plane world, but they can't ignore it!

After all, the Morian plane belonged to the Arcane Empire, and belonged to arcanists and great arcanists like them. Once the unscrupulous attack destroys one's home, how can one use it to defend against those powerful enemies who are staring outside the barriers of the plane and want to invade on a large scale?

…………

The light of truth, the floating city.

As the largest and most powerful floating city in the Arcane Empire, the Light of Truth plays a pivotal role in the entire Morian plane.

In the center of the Floating Void City of Light of Truth stands a majestic and exquisitely shaped arcane palace. The hall is divided into ten floors, and each floor is about 100 meters long. On the wide and flat platform above, there are large and small arcane academies, public libraries, arcane research institutes, learning promotion associations, Observatory, arcane laboratory... and a large number of puppet manufacturing rooms.

Among the only two arcane emperors in the Arcane Empire, Garcia, who is in charge, has been stationed here all year round, and has also built this floating city of the Light of Truth into a unique political and economic center in the entire Arcane Empire.

It's a pity that when this catastrophe is approaching, the Floating Void City of the Light of Truth has become the main target of many powerful enemies from outside the region. The two arcane emperors are still defending against the attacks of terrifying and powerful enemies outside the barriers of the plane, while inside the plane, a 6th-level star devouring beast has penetrated into the Morian plane, and is attacking the light of truth with impunity. floating city.

Judging from its meaning, it seems that it wants to break into the control center of the floating city and let the floating city of the light of truth fall into the sky. Given the huge scale of the Light of Truth Floating Void City, once it falls to the ground, it may be difficult to rise up to the sky again within a hundred years.

And once the light of truth falls, the Arcane Empire's demiplane fortress that is currently outside the barriers of the plane will lose the necessary energy supply. At that time, relying on the half-plane fortress and the floating arcane tower to barely block the enemy's war front, there was a danger of an instant collapse.

Therefore, no matter how huge the loss is, the arcanists must annihilate this star-eating beast and break the invasion conspiracy of the enemies outside the territory!

Inside the Arcane Palace, three 6th-level grand arcanists gathered together, arguing fiercely.

"Activate the light of annihilation... We must activate the light of annihilation... Otherwise, if the star-eating beast really invades the center, how can we stop its progress?"

"No! The power of the Annihilation Light is too great, it will burn the energy core...Once the energy core is damaged, do we still have the resources to repair it?"

"Then what should we do? Just watch our people die and our homeland be trampled by Zurou? This is not okay, and that is not okay. Just let me, a bad old man, rush out and fight with that big guy! I don't believe it." , the self-destruction of a 6-ring grand arcanist will not kill it..."

The three of them were arguing fiercely with each other, and no one could convince the other, which also made the atmosphere in this hall extremely boring and anxious.

While the three were arguing, the star-eating beast moved its body and advanced another hundred meters.

Where its huge body passed, all buildings were knocked down and crushed, and all living beings were slaughtered. And the beam of energy spewed out of its huge mouth knocked down an arcane tower from the sky, causing it to crash in front of it with thick black smoke.

"No, I can't take it anymore...I'm going to entangle that star-eating beast, you guys continue to discuss here!" The oldest of the three old men poked the marble floor with a cane, and his eyes rolled All red.

But at this moment, an unusually soft voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Nehl, your temper is still so impatient. You don't need to go, leave this nasty guy to me!"

With the appearance of a soft voice, the huge arcane array in the center of the hall suddenly lighted up silently, and countless mysterious runes and arcane radiance escaped from it, outlining an unusually tall and majestic figure in the air. Arcanist image.

From the outside, he is just an old-faced arcanist, wearing a simple and plain arcane robe, a white and bright arcane scepter, with a serious face, a dignified appearance, and two pupils under the snow-white eyebrows Two small, blinding suns lit up in the depths.

This is an extremely ordinary Arcanist!

If he had to say that he was different from other arcanists, it would be the arcane crown on his pale hair. There are layers of arcane ripples visible to the naked eye, faintly maintaining a deep and close connection with this floating city and the entire plane.

But at this moment, this strange arcanist wearing the arcane crown exudes arcane brilliance all over his body, and it seems that he is not a human body, but a humanoid projection condensed by arcane energy.

Seeing the energy figure, the three great arcanists hurriedly bowed to salute.

"You are the seeker of arcane truth, guiding us forward, we..."

"Okay, okay, what time is it, and I have to repeat these meaningless and nutritious speeches again. You guard the Arcane Palace, and I will deal with that guy..."

After saying that, a phantom figure in human form appeared above the Arcane Palace in a flash.
