Chapter 967: Chapter 961: Soul Curse – Infiltrating the Tower
In the depths of the void, silence reigned!
Qin Feng lded his figure into the darkness, leaving no trace!
He stealthily navigated the dark void, disappearing silently towards the front.
At the end of his sight was a Wizard Tower, encompassing a hundred miles and towering hundreds of thousands of feet high.
The Wizard Tower was not built casually. To construct one, not only is unique knowledge and witchcraft heritage required but also a certain level of strength.
Ordinary wizards do not qualify to build a Wizard Tower, and even many powerful wizards may not choose to cultivate their own Wizard Tower.
Because it requires not only enormous financial and material resources but maintaining a Wizard Tower cannot rely solely on its master; it requires subordinates, otherwise, even simple experints beco troubleso.
Many powerful wizards feel they lack the qualification to beco a dominance, preferring to follow other powerful wizards or their ntors rather than expend effort on building their own Wizard Tower!
Thus, the more massive the Wizard Tower, the more colossal its power!
A Level Four wizard might construct a Wizard Tower, at most a hundred layers or so, but the tower in front, reaching hundreds of thousands of feet, is likely beyond what common Immortal Realm Truth Wizards can build!
Indeed, this is a tower of an Eternal Wizard!
Qin Feng kept his focus on the Wizard Tower ahead but did not approach too closely. Instead, he slowly concealed himself behind a teorite suspended in the void.
Many narrow windows in the Wizard Tower emitted faint lights, from a distance resembling stars converged into strange shapes.
This is a Wizard Tower belonging to an Eternal Wizard!
Qin Feng had been eyeing this Wizard Tower for a long ti!
Since the sect was nad by several Creation Realm Ancestors to join forces with various factions against the Wizard Army, naturally, Qin Feng was involved!
The war against the wizards over the past few years had surpassed what could be described as fierce, only tragic could describe it!
No matter whether it was the wizards or the cultivator camp, the losses were severe; take his sect for instance, within just a few short years, the Beast Taming Sect had lost over a billion Spiritual Beasts and hundreds of thousands of disciples, a staggering number.
And this is without counting the losses of other sects!
But thanks to a few ancestors who foresaw this and gathered sects like the Beast Taming Sect, Five Poisons Sect, Puppet Sect, and even the Ghost Controlling Sect from Ten Direction Ghost City, they all utilized millions of Ghost Items to serve as vanguards and exemplars for other factions.
The actions of the Ten Direction Ghost City undoubtedly gave face to the five dominant forces, not relying on their status to force others to charge ahead!
Despite this, the losses suffered by each faction caused much heartache among the elders.
Luckily, sects skilled at controlling external entities were the primary forces against the wizards; otherwise, other sects’ war power, although stronger than ordinary Fierce Ghosts, Spiritual Beasts, or Puppet Armies, would have suffered massive casualties.
Had the main cultivator armies directly engaged, multiple armies would have faced complete destruction, depleting years of accumulation, and if the sect’s Golden Immortal Ancestors fell in battle, even with cultivators left to guard the sects, they would fall to second or third-tier status!
Even though sects like Ten Direction Ghost City and the Beast Taming Sect suffered mainly the loss of their commanded Ghost Items and Spiritual Beasts, the reduced disciples’ loss was relatively minimal, yet those Ghost Items and Spiritual Beasts were integral to the sect’s foundation, affecting their strength!
Ten Direction Ghost City is vast, handling it better, but other sects over ti began to feel strained.
Even though the Beast Taming Sect had Qin Feng foster a massive Spiritual Beast Army from the Abandoned Land, uplifting their army by thirty percent, the quick loss of so many Spiritual Beasts still caused pain, not to ntion other sects.
Especially for sects like the Puppet Sect, relying mainly on chanical Puppets as combat machines.
They differ in that the Ten Direction Ghost City and Ghost Controlling Sect can collect souls and bodies by defeating opponents to refine new Ghost Items and Corpse Reforms, and the Beast Taming Sect, relatively easily, subdues Spiritual Beasts by seeking suitable ones and employing Binding Spells from their Divine Sense!
Yet the Puppet Sect’s puppet manufacturing is notably difficult, each puppet consuming ti and effort, although previously harnessing resources during the expedition to forge a vast Puppet Army, the consumption now is unsustainable.
Fortunately, all factions’ rits were seen by a few ancestors, with such losses, benefits must follow; after the war, resources will naturally tilt to compensate their losses.
Due to the intensely brutal battles in recent years, Qin Feng’s mood grew colder, not having smiled for days!
As he hid behind the teorite, grieving the losses of the past years, he suddenly heard a faint yet profound eerie sound echoing from the distant depths of the void!
It was mournful music, resembling a funeral tune from the mundane world!
Sobbing, ghostly cries, even the funeral tunes’ clarinet sounds conveyed an eerie power affecting one’s spirit!
Qin Feng turned, glanced afar, seeing a gloomy ghostly fog shrouded homing a span of hundreds of thousands of miles in the dark void’s end.
Amidst the ghostly fog, countless Fierce Ghosts lurked, occasionally surfacing in ferocious forms, their savage eyes glaring in all directions.
Amidst the billion Fierce Ghost army, there stood a Ten Thousand Feet Long Banner in the eerie mist, swaying gently!
Qin Feng clearly saw the banner carried the mark of Nine Nether City from the Ten Direction Ghost City, unmistakably the City Lord’s personal treasure, also the Immortal Immortal Device controlling the billion Fierce Ghost army.
anwhile, a beast’s roar shook the void.
It was a monster with a tiger head, dragon body, and Qilin tail, massive body, strong physique, and its roar rattling the spirit.
Behind this massive monster lay an imasurable Spiritual Beast army!
Further behind was nearly a million cultivator army of the Beast Taming Sect.
This battle, the Beast Taming Sect went all out, assembling all available forces, aligning with Nine Nether Ghost City, ready to seize the Wizard Tower ahead.
After nurous battles, the cultivation world paid a hefty price but it wasn’t without reward.
The wizards’ losses at least matched theirs, plus these Black Wizards were but part of the Wizard Great World, so without all-out participation, how could they counter the full efforts of Biluo Cultivators!
Moreover, Biluo sects could support anyti, whether treasures, elixir pills, resources, or cultivator armies, all were available, while the Black Wizards lacked reinforcents from other wizarding systems, showing dwindling support.
Take for example the Wizard Tower ahead, from initially commanding the endless Monster Army to resist the Cultivators, after nurous battles, most of the Monster Army was lost, and the wizards also suffered significant casualties. As a result, they ran out of strength and could only remain on the defensive.
Because of this, the Beast Taming Sect joined forces with Nine Nether Ghost City to wage a decisive battle to overthrow the Wizard Tower.
Qin Feng did not act with the sect’s army; he hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
With his strength, if he suddenly appeared on a battlefield and tead up with other Great Powers, even eternal realm experts might suffer a setback!
The mournful funeral song directly reached into the Wizard Tower, weighing heavily on the wizards inside, depressing their spirits imnsely!
Although they are Black Wizards who never consider other lives valuable, they have rarely gained any advantage since the war with Biluo Cultivators began.
Indeed, they have a massive Monster Army, but the Cultivators also have Spiritual Beasts, Fierce Ghosts, Poison Insects, Puppets, and other ans to counter them.
After nurous battles, they gained little advantage, but suffered severe losses. Now, with the funeral song from Nine Nether City affecting their spirits and seeing the vast army of Fierce Ghosts and Spiritual Beasts outside, they have lost their belief in certain victory!
Such a ntality rarely appears among wizards, given their status in the Great World, acting wantonly, never encountering such a situation even once in countless millennia.
But today, they have indeed confronted it!
Buzz…
A defensive shield composed of layers of strange mist rose from the Wizard Tower.
Clearly, the eighth-level Eternal Wizard also felt unsure and did not, as usual, rashly dispatch his Monster Army for the initial charge, followed by the Wizard Army.
The primary concern now is their severe losses, making them unwilling to engage directly any longer.
“Be careful to defend, do not let those Cultivators attack inside!”
The words of the Eternal Wizard reached every wizard’s ear: “I have already asked the great Black Witch King for reinforcents. We just need to hold the Wizard Tower until the reinforcents arrive!
Once the reinforcents are here, it will be ti for our full-scale counterattack.
By then, I will send all these Cultivators into the laboratory; I will use them to replenish our Monster Army!”
These words imdiately reassured many wizards.
Unfortunately, the battle did not proceed as they hoped.
Over these years of fierce fighting, the Cultivators gained so understanding of the defensive thods of this Wizard Tower, even the techniques used by the eighth-level Eternal Wizard inside!
After all, Jue Tian Ancestor and Nine Nether City Lord, these two Great Powers, have confronted the opponent several tis, and have identified strategies to target them!
The title of this eighth-level Eternal Wizard is Soul Curse!
Wizards’ titles usually match their cultivation paths; having Soul Curse as the title ans this Eternal Wizard specializes in the path of curses!
Indeed, when first facing this Eternal Wizard, both Jue Tian Ancestor and Nine Nether City Lord suffered losses, as the opponent’s Curse Technique was far too unique and specifically targeted at the soul. Even the Ghost Dao Great Power, Nine Nether City Lord, could not defend against it and was cursed!
Luckily, they were backed by the entire Biluo Cultivation Realm. Soon, the specially dispatched Mituom Buddha dissolved the curse upon them with Supre Dharma.
Subsequently, Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan sent several unique protective treasures, including a Death Replacent Puppet, a Spirit Talisman that could transfer injuries, and an Immortal Artifact that purified all impure auras.
With these treasures, even if the two ancestors were cursed again, the impact would be minimal, without significantly reducing their war power!
Although the Curse Technique is one of the most mysterious spells in the Void Ten Thousand Realms, once opposed by soone who finds counterasures, its power decreases dramatically!
Thus, they fearlessly continued to provoke this Eternal Wizard.
When the two Eternal Realm Ancestors led multiply Immortal Realm Great Powers to forcibly attack the Wizard Tower, the Soul Curse Eternal Wizard inside could no longer sit still!
Though the defense of the Wizard Tower is strong, it cannot withstand the relentless assault from so many Great Powers. So, despite the reluctance, he has to lead his Truth Wizards out to confront them!
Actually, this Eternal Wizard has considered escaping, but his Wizard Tower has been locked down by Jue Tian Ancestor and Nine Nether City Lord, making escape impossible.
As soon as these Great Powers began clashing, the Ghost Dao Cultivators of Nine Nether Ghost City imdiately commanded hundreds of millions of Ghost Item armies to attack the Wizard Tower, while the Beast Taming Sect simultaneously commanded Spiritual Beasts to set up war formations.
The combined forces launched powerful spells that bombarded the defenses of the Wizard Tower outside, causing them to quiver repeatedly, leaving the wizards inside frowning deeply.
At this rate, having the defenses breached is only a matter of ti.
Ultimately, the Immortal Wizard sitting in the Wizard Tower could only reluctantly open the tower’s gate, ordering wizards to command the half-destroyed Monster Army to assault the battalions of Nine Nether Ghost City and Beast Taming Sect, breaking the two war formations.
Otherwise, if the defenses were breached, allowing the Cultivators to invade, the consequences would not be just heavy losses; it would also affect the Eternal Wizard’s battle!
The Wizard Tower also serves as a power-enhancing device for each tower master, significantly augnting their strength.
This is why the Soul Curse Eternal Wizard, not adept at frontal combat, could still withstand the attacks from the two Eternal Great Powers, Nine Nether City Lord and Jue Tian Ancestor!
Once Cultivators penetrate the Wizard Tower, affecting the Eternal Wizard’s battle, they will inevitably face defeat!
Unfortunately, although the Immortal Wizard’s plan was sound, it could not withstand unforeseen circumstances.
Despite the Monster Army suffering heavy losses in past battles, their numbers remain vast, able to endure for quite so ti with wizard collaboration.
But they failed to notice a shadow stealthily blending into the Wizard’s ranks.
Amid fierce combat, casualties inevitably arise.
As so wizards, heavily injured by spells, retreated for treatnt via the Wizard Tower’s exit, the shadow quietly attached to one of the wizards and followed them into the Wizard Tower.
