Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method Chapter 2871: 584: Shaking the Multidimensional Planes, Extolling My Name of Dusk!
Previously on Wizard: Starting With the Knights Breathing Method...
It's clear he's got a strong chance of coming up short.
He's already outmatched by Edmund, which is trouble enough.
These days, even the newer talents from the Wizard World are starting to close the gap on him.
Unless the Four Great Giants move to take down the Dusk Palace Master, and if the situation keeps escalating this way, he'll truly reach Level 11!
The final Amethyst Saint stayed quiet, whispering to himself inwardly.
"Can he already take down Gods? Looks like I need to speed up my plans and can't hold off anymore. The astral world is the only refuge for the Amethyst Race!"
Unwilling to give up his Amethyst Race form, after deep thought, he settled on a short-term fix: turning his own body into a top-tier treasure. That way, once he reignited the divine fire in the astral world and rose to Godhood, he'd have a mighty tool at his command.
His strength wouldn't drop by much.
This holds true for the rest of the Amethyst Race too.
Yet crafting a treasure out of one's self, in the present Pan-Plane, only one figure might hold the secret—that would be Master Bao Long....
Astral World.
Star Wilderness.
A blue Divine Kingdom drifted across the Sea of Ruins.
Sea Beast God Bosais wandered restlessly inside the temple, appearing quite uneasy.
In his thoughts, fresh intel from the Church of the Belief Land replayed: the Dusk Palace Master had single-handedly crushed the 186th layer of the Abyss [Old Sea Dominator Rul], followed by [Dusk Sun God Art].
Who could explain to him just how in the world this happened?
The initial kill didn't need much debate; Bosais knew little of the demon lord and had no grasp on Rul's fighting prowess.
Art, though, he understood intimately; as a heir to Sun God Ramon, if he'd been born earlier with a solid base, he'd have been a mid-tier God for sure.
Thus, he couldn't be dismissed as some feeble God; he controlled at least 5% of his innate divine authority, plus he owned a divine weapon. Among low Gods like Bosais, Art counted as an "indigenous God second generation" he wouldn't dare approach!
Look at Bosais himself; he'd only grasped about 4% of the [River Divine Authority], a offshoot of [Water Divine Authority]. Some came from sea monster legacies and ocean creatures, and he lacked the skill to create a divine weapon.
If even Art proved too tough for him, victory was impossible.
Igniting divine fire in the astral world didn't guarantee real immortality.
Given the Dusk Palace Master's skills, he'd have no trouble invading the Star Wilderness to strike him down, snuff out his divine fire, and bring about his end.
Due to the clash between the Underworld and astral world, any God born in the astral realm needed ties to the Nether Emperor or solid support; otherwise, if their fire went out, their true soul would dissipate like mist, with no hope of joining the Mother River for rebirth and further growth—that was pure fantasy!
Not even basic reincarnation was an option!
The Underworld these days would welcome the demise of astral gods. After all, the Gods' might was swelling far beyond the emperors' there.
"The Star Wilderness isn't safe anymore, nor the Forest of Myriad Phenomena. Only the Thousand Hills Countries can protect me.
Timing's right—the Lord of Storm is expanding an ocean divine authority domain, seeking a follower god. I might give it a shot at the [Storm Sea].
No matter the Dusk Palace Master's power, he won't hit the Thousand Hills Countries quickly. It's under the [Temple of Thousands Gods], bound to catch the Star Ancestor's eye."
Through the ages, countless Level 11 experts have clashed with gods, but rarely have mighty ones fallen. Elite gods like the Lord of Storm stay secure without issue. Even if it means serving as someone's lackey later, it's preferable to death.
To counter Levi, the Sea Beast God pored over various accounts of the Dusk Palace Master's deeds and summed it up:
This guy was the epitome of a grudge-bearer, settling scores over the tiniest slights, utterly heartless and brutal!
Why did he ever cross this disaster-bringer in the first place?
Regret wouldn't help now!
...
Elsewhere in the Star Wilderness.
The white Divine Kingdom encircled by fierce gales.
Within the divine palace, Sky and Bird God Denis sat in meditation, eyes shut. He snapped them open as two frightened angels rushed in, fresh from blocking Maya.
"What's got you in such a panic?"
"My Lord, the Church saint just reached out in prayer. We've got crucial news to share. That Dusk Palace Master who blocked Maya... he, he took out the Old Sea Dominator and the Dusk Sun God. Word's spreading like wildfire across the Pan-Plane."
Denis started and straightened up.
"This is real?"
"Yes, it's not just one Belief Land reporting it. We've checked too, and lately the Gate of Dusk shut down, with cracks appearing in the Dusk Divine Kingdom. Seems like the one dropped from True God to demigod..."
Hearing this, Denis broke into a cold sweat of gratitude. Good thing he hadn't pursued the Dusk Palace Master a few days back; he'd have forfeited his divine rank.
He called together his angels and warned them sternly:
"Over the coming ten thousand years, lock down the divine domain and tend to our Belief Lands carefully. A massive storm's brewing in the astral world, set to unleash chaos like never before. Gods could perish in it. Include this in the 'Sky Holy Scripture': Avoid provoking Nora Civilization folk without cause."
...
Star Realm Battlefield.
Blood Fire Dominator remained entangled in battle against the Stinging Snake Queen.
Shortly before, the Wild Dog God had botched his mission and pulled back. His later schemes to redirect the Stinging Snake Queen toward Nora, aiming to stir up trouble, all flopped.
On the Holy War Army Master's front, nine generals had perished, and hordes of divine race troops were gone... these blows burdened him deeply, despite his status as a mighty god.
All at once, a dispatch from the Wild Dog God jolted his mind, nearly allowing the Stinging Snake Queen to rip him apart.
The Dusk Palace Master had slain Art?
