Chapter 2094 Desolate Beast
In the quest for Grand Magus accession, all cultivators faced three formidable hurdles, each representing a fundamental aspect of the mystical realm.
The first was the factor of man, encompassing the foundation of the body, the soul, and all the accumulated comprehension.
The second was the factor of nature, the profound elements, and the spiritual laws governing all existence.
The first two factors were the fundamental basis of a magus Realm. However, to attain the coveted Grand Magus Realm, they needed to transcend beyond the confines of mere mortal and natural domains.
This required the third factor—the Cosmos, an intangible force of immeasurable might and boundless mystery. It was the cosmic energy that infused the universe, granting untold power to those who could harness it.
In the grand scheme of magus evolution, the balance of these three factors was essential. The Cosmic above, the Spirit below, and Man at the center formed the triad of forces driving the progression of the Grand Magus Realm.
For Magus Heorgar, whose cultivation focused on the elements of darkness, the chosen dark marshes within the desolate planet offered the perfect environment. Here, amidst the desolation, he would harness the surrounding spirit energy to engage with the planet's unique cosmic forces, advancing his quest for Grand Magus ascension.
"We will do it here," Magus Heorgar declared their chosen location, and the atmosphere crackled with anticipation.
With a decisive nod, the old formation master wasted no time in springing into action. With a simple yet commanding gesture, he directed the earth itself to obey his will. Massive rocks ascended from the ground, arranged in a protective circle spanning a mile in diameter. With practiced precision, he began inscribing ancient runes into the stone, each stroke imbuing the formation with power and purpose.
As the ground quivered beneath them, Emery's senses tingled with the presence of numerous threats lurking below the surface. Turning to Magus Beatrice, he voiced his concerns, seeking to understand the extent of the danger. Realizing the limitations of her subterranean sensing abilities, Emery resorted to his own method. Placing his hands upon the earth, he cast [Nature Grasp] extended his senses deep into the earth, probing the darkness below.
Instantly, a flood of sensory impressions surged through Emery's consciousness. He discerned the presence of dozens of mythical beasts lurking beneath the ground, some even possessing the formidable stature of Desolate-level creatures. Concerned by the magnitude of the lurking danger, Emery voiced his apprehensions.
But the old formation master magus quickly dismissed his concern.
"You've never been to this place, haven't you?" the formation master remarked. "Those desolate beasts are everywhere! It's nothing uncommon. That's precisely why you're here."
Emery could quickly discern that the old magus was unwilling to relocate, as he had already begun constructing his formation. Emery turned to his senior, Heorgar, and proposed a more cautious approach, advocating for additional time to thoroughly analyze their surroundings.
"We really can't wait anymore... The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it will be," Magus Heorgar said with a deep sigh before settling into a lotus position to prepare himself for the forthcoming tribulation.
Seeing this, Magus Tobin said to Emery, "You and I, we can start securing the area."
In an effort to bolster their defenses and ensure the safety of his senior,Emery summoned one of his most trusted allies—
Twik, a towering humanoid plant creature standing at an imposing height of two meters. As Twik emerged from the shadows, he greeted the group with a deep rumble.
"I am Twik..."
Not only does Twik exhibit a certain level of intelligence, but his strength also surpasses that of any common magus; he was comparable to a desolate-level beast in terms of power. As everyone marvels at Twik's capabilities, Emery instructs him to guard the area, particularly below the ground. With a confirming nod, Twik's hands begin to root into the earth.
With this arrangement in place, Emery flew away, following Magus Tobin towards the nearest Desolate beast, which roams within a hundred-mile radius.
"I've heard you're an excellent environment and space magus," Tobin remarks to Emery.
"Just decent, but I'll do my best to follow your instructions," Emery responds humbly.
The elder magus smiles warmly, and they quickly exchange some combat strategies before their upcoming battle.
[Chainsaw Blue Lizard]
The monstrous creature, resembling a 100-meter-long crocodile with teeth resembling chainsaws, was a thousand-
year-old mythical beast, granting it Desolate Beast status. Emery can sense its battle power, which was equivalent to that of a half-moon magus.
Despite its immense strength and durable skin, it poses no significant threat to Emery or Magus Tobin. However, VIA alerts them to its highly poisonous bites.
Before Emery could voice his concerns, Magus Tobin sprang into action, his movements swift and decisive. With astonishing speed, the turtle magus launched himself at the beast, his fists blazing with energy. A powerful punch connected with the creature, sending it hurtling through the air with tremendous force, crashing into a nearby rock formation.
Emery reacted swiftly. Drawing upon his mastery of environment magic, he invoked his [Jade Root] technique, weaving intricate patterns of energy that snaked towards the fallen beast. The roots entwined around the creature's limbs, restricting its movements and preventing any smaller creatures from interfering with the battle.
Magus Tobin, a seasoned combatant with a bloodline that further augmented his physical prowess, unleashed a barrage of explosive punches and formidable defensive maneuvers against the Chainsaw Lizard. With each clash, the ground trembled beneath their feet as the two titans clashed in a fierce battle. Despite the creature's resilience, Tobin's relentless assault proved overwhelming, culminating in a final, decisive blow that snapped the beast's neck, bringing it crashing to the ground in defeat.
As the dust settled, Emery wasted no time in carrying out his assigned task. Utilizing his mastery of space magic, the lifeless body vanished into the portal to be shared later, when they returned.
The creature's remains held valuable resources coveted by magus across the realm. The tough, scaled hide of the lizard, prized as a tier 4 material for its durability; its razor-sharp teeth, designated as tier 5 for their formidable cutting power; and the toxic gland, a tier 6 substance valued for its deadly properties. Though the creature's flesh held potential as a food source, its poisonous environment rendered it unfit for consumption—a bitter truth that diminishes the significance of their harvest.
Both of them continued, they headed toward the second Desolate beast, and after they finished with the third one, Magus Beatrice sent a message confirming that the preparations were complete. The cosmic tribulation was about to begin.
