End of the Magic Era - Chapter 1102
Chapter 1102: Breakthroughs
Whether it was two-dimensional or three-dimensional, a triangle or a pyramid would be the most stable shapes. Stability was the first priority when forming Law Runes. That was how the final fusion had to be, and no one could change it.
The previous fusions could be done by slowly fusing runes one by one.
More than a day passed, and runes dwindled in the sky. Less than 80,000 runes remained out of the original 200,000 runes, but the aura they emitted was completely different.
The basic runes were only the most basic forms, having only elemental power. But these runes formed from twelve basic runes exceeded the ten-rune baseline for Law Runes!
They were stronger than most Law Runes created by Heaven Mages that had just advanced to the Heaven Rank.
Most importantly, he had a huge number of them.
Over 70,000 Law Runes could theoretically combine into several million kinds of spells.
Even if 99% of the spells were worthless, just by relying on these Law Runes, they were still bound to be better than Lin Yun’s ordinary spells!
Once he finished the formation of the final Law Rune, no basic runes were left and the runes flickering within Lin Yun’s eyes disappeared.
But Lin Yun’s aura started changing at that instant. The power of Wind, Fire, and Earth appeared on their own. A translucent cyan blue wind, a crimson flame, and a rolling lump of earth… They were rotating around Lin Yun’s body.
Suddenly, a wisp of the aura of the Ice Law slowly appeared, and an ice sphere formed and floated around Lin Yun just like the other three elements.
Earth, Fire, Water, Wind… The four Foundation Laws thoroughly merged. The aura of Lin Yun’s mana kept rising, before instantly reaching the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm in a burst.
The manifestation of the four elemental Laws curled around him, and something happened as they reached an equilibrium.
The cyan tornado, crimson flames, blue ice, and yellow earth completely changed shape and slowly transformed into four spheres. Then, the four spheres rapidly shrank and formed four crystals, each emitting a halo.
A huge wheel shadow suddenly appeared behind Lin Yun. These four spheres all revolved and entered the wheel shadow, falling into its center and embedding themselves.
At that moment, the wheel shadow behind Lin Yun seemed to become even more real. As it spun, the mysterious wheel that looked like a starry sky slowly became four-colored and looked like a rainbow as it revolved behind Lin Yun’s back.
Lin Yun closed his eyes and floated down. The Law fluctuations spread to the entire Demiplane and refined the Demiplane’s Laws.
Lin Yun used the four elemental Foundation Laws to establish his Laws. They weren’t the strongest ones, but rather the ones closest to the foundation.
This kind of method to establish Laws wasn’t biased towards powerful fighting Laws, but it was only the early stages.
Just like the Fire Laws’ branches… Some leaned towards explosion, some towards burning, and some in other directions…
These kinds of branches were very powerful, while the Foundation Law was the most balanced and had no strengths and no weaknesses.
That was the most unacceptable kind to mages, but Lin Yun chose it because it was the most suitable Law for the Magic Array.
It was also the most suitable one for Lin Yun, especially after obtaining that Natural Demiplane. Choosing the Foundation Laws as a foundation was the best choice, and the strongest choice.
With the Magic Array, he could release all kinds of powerful spells that were comparable to the mages with the branch Laws. More importantly, his future prospects would be broader.
Mages of this era still didn’t know that only those who established a Foundation Law as their foundation Law would ultimately become the strongest. The more extreme or detailed a foundation Law was, the harder it would be to strengthen, and they would ultimately be unable to strengthen it further. Even if the mage’s Rank increased, the power of their Laws wouldn’t.
But for mages that established a Foundation Law as their foundation Law, although they would be weaker early on, their power would grow without limits!
Moreover, for the Demiplane to develop into a true world, the owner had to have a well-rounded equilibrium.
If Lin Yun merged four kinds of Laws and established the strongest Foundation Laws, the four elements would stabilize, and the Natural Demiplane would immediately gain some benefits and show signs of developing to the next stage.
But it would only stabilize to a passable state. To reach perfection, Lin Yun would have to personally use his power to guide the Natural Demiplane’s elements.
As Lin Yun’s Law fluctuations spread out, gales suddenly settled on the edge of the Demiplane, the violent sea waves calmed down, the earth became sturdier, and the berserk flames became docile.
In an instant, the entire Demiplane turned into a genuine world.
Lin Yun opened his eyes and grinned.
‘Sure enough, it was just as I thought. The more control over the Natural Demiplane, the closer the connection. As long as I keep making progress and comprehending the Laws, although it won’t make the Demiplane grow, its foundation will become better.
‘From the bare minimum passing score to full marks. Only with full marks could it become a real world. It might be a bit bigger now.’
Just as Lin Yun finished his breakthrough, the sky of the Burning Tower’s camp was covered in flames, and so was the mountain.
A mage wearing a red flame robe walked out of the flames, those flames spread apart on their own as if they were facing a sovereign. Some of them even licked the mage’s body.
“Sir Phelps, congratulations on succeeding at the last step. You officially entered the Heaven Rank and became a true Heaven Rank powerhouse!”
Dedale was smiling as he looked at the person before him with a cheerful expression.
No one expected that someone on the same level as Dedale, a Pseudo Heaven Rank powerhouse transcending the Archmage realm, would be the first to come to a realization and advance to the Heaven Rank in the Raging Flame Battlefield.
Phelps walked through the flames with an arrogant expression and nodded at Dedale.
“Sir Dedale, the flames just told me that someone captured our Burning Tower’s mages and also killed some of our people. Who was it?”
Dedale ignored Phelps’ attitude and nodded.
“I received the news a day ago. Sir Sizhang led our mages, and they were captured by Mafa Merlin. They are locked in their temporary camp.
“Sir Phelps broke through the Heaven Rank at a perfect time. I shall trouble Sir Phelps to show off that our Buring Tower has a new Heaven Rank powerhouse!”
Phelps sneered, “A bunch of idiots… They actually dared to challenge the honor of our Burning Tower!? Looks like the Burning Flag hasn’t appeared for a long time, so people thought that we are all bark but no bite.
“It’s time to teach a lesson to those Andlusan country bumpkins!”
Phelps led the Burning Tower’s mages to attack Lin Yun’s camp, and it just happened to be when Lin Yun left the Demiplane.
Hearing what had happened from his subordinates, Lin Yun didn’t really care. If they had been caught, they had been caught.
They had rushed to attack his camp, so not killing them was already being benevolent. Attacking an ally’s camp and trying to steal from them was punishable by death.
Lin Yun didn’t have time to finish his words before frowning. He could sense a Heaven Rank powerhouse rushing towards them.
Apart from Lin Yun, the other four Heaven Rank powerhouses also noticed this aura.
Lin Yun left the karst cave and glanced at the person walking on flames in the distance. Several crimson flames were floating beside him as he flew over.
Phelps led mages of the Burning Tower and stopped above the camp, looking over the entire camp while releasing the pressure of a Heaven Mage.
Everyone below the Peak of the Archmage realm paled. It was like a mountain was pressuring them and making it difficult for them to circulate their mana, especially the low 7th Rank Archmages. They couldn’t support the pressure and directly fell face-down.
The only ones that could stand without issue were Morgan, Jouyi, Harren, Raphael, Lin Yun, as well as the gifted Xiuban and Reina.
It would be considered pretty good if the others could barely stand.
Phelps sneered as he glanced at the camp’s miserable condition with a proud expression.
“Mafa Merlin? Who is Mafa Merlin? Get the f*ck out here.”
Lin Yun laughed. The four Heaven Mages had weird expressions, and Morgan grinned. “I said I hadn’t seen the foolish Phelps for a while. I thought he was dead… But I really didn’t expect him to be lucky enough to advance to the Heaven realm, only to throw away his life.
“But advancing to the Heaven Rank is a good thing, very good…”
After mumbling, Morgan strangely smiled, while Raphael couldn’t help grinning.
‘We have four genuine Heaven Rank powerhouses here, as well as someone whose strength could compare to a Heaven Rank powerhouse. Moreover, it looks like Sir Mafa had a breakthrough.
‘He is already a 9th Rank Archmage… His strength, in this Raging Battlefield blocking Extraordinary Power, might very well be greater than ours.
‘That idiotic Phelps, it looks like he doesn’t know what happened recently. Does he truly think that he can do whatever he wants by advancing to the Heaven Rank?
‘He just broke through, and his Demiplane most likely hasn’t been established. Even if he just established it, he would be more or less at our level. Yet he dares to come here and be rampant? Dedale probably didn’t explain properly.
‘Damn, he provoked Mafa Merlin, I don’t know if that guy can be saved… Forget it, let’s see when he is on the verge of death…’
Lin Yun had a strange smile on his face as he just ignored Phelps’ aura and calmly walked out.
“I am Mafa Merlin, you…”
Lin Yun barely started speaking when Phelps’ aura suddenly rose and focused its pressure on Lin Yun.
Lin Yun remained motionless, indifferently looking at Phelps. Not even his magic robe shook… Phelps’ pressure seemed ineffective on Lin Yun.
Unfortunately, Phelps himself didn’t notice and thought that Lin Yun was stiff from the pressure.
“Mafa Merlin, you are really daring! I’ll give you two choices. First, kneel and release all the mages of the Burning Tower before letting yourself be crippled.
“I’ll spare your life and won’t bother to bicker about your offense on our Burning Tower. I’m not feeling like taking care of trash like you.
“2nd option… I get rid of you and all the trash in your camp. I’ll burn everything to ashes and plant the Burning Flag in your camp. Don’t even think of surviving then.
“The only thing awaiting you is total annihilation, and I’ll save our Burning Tower’s mages myself.
“You have three seconds to think. Once that time has passed, you can only wait for the Burning Flag to be planted in your camp!”
Phelps looked arrogant as he floated in the sky, looking at the crowd below him with indifference as if they were no different from a group of ants waiting to die.
Lin Yun couldn’t help laughing.
“Who? I’d like to ask who gave you that confidence? Where did Dedale find such an idiotic Heaven Mage? This is clearly lowering the average intelligence of Heaven Rank powerhouses…”
Heaven Rank aura surged at full power and flames kept revolving around Phelps while the surrounding fire elements started converging towards him.
“Fool! It’s because I’m a Heaven Mage! A true Heaven Mage!
“I already established my Demiplane, my burning power can already burn everything to ashes!
“The entire Raging Flame Battlefield is suppressing Extraordinary Power, yet I advanced to the Heaven Rank in here. Even if I can’t use Extraordinary Power to attack, it’s enough to become the most powerful person in the Raging Flame Battlefield.
“Look at this group of stupid idiots, they can’t even withstand my aura!
“A Heaven Mage isn’t something you can resist. Three seconds already passed! I’ll show you how strong a Heaven Mage is!
“You can rest in peace knowing that you died at the hands of a Heaven Mage!”
