After the crowd left the Wanderer Plaza and went back to the tavern, they entered their rooms to rest. They reached slumberland quickly. In the way, they went through many hardships, and they were all already exhausted both physically and mentally. But, they could finally relax after they entered the safe Astonvela Manor.

“Later, should I travel with Richardson and others to the Wanderer Castle or shout I set off alone and leave Astonvela Manor for the Moon River?” Yang Ling sat down cross-legged on the ground and started pondering over the next plan.

He got many insights by traveling with Richardson and his companions. He still took advantage of this chance to get so much common knowledge about various planes. But, this still wasn’t convenient, and his speed was restricted greatly because he traveled with the crowd. He wasn’t able to travel at full-speed, and he also couldn’t use the Five Elements Evasion Spells and the Teleportation Gate to teleport directly.

If he ran into a large group of Abyssal Demons or God-Level Magical Beasts, he must still give regard to their situation and the crowd’s safety. This was why he couldn’t just attack them as he wanted and tame them.

A month still hadn’t passed yet since he entered the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, yet he had already finished the task assigned to him by the Great Dark Elder, and he had already gotten 2,000 Magical Beasts’ Essence Crystals. Later, he would have to focus on finding a hidden spot in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils, which he would use to travel between the Graveyard of Gods and Devils and the Magical Beast Territory at any time.

He would also further explore the Graveyard of Gods and Devils and seek the Ancient Wizards’ tracks, as well as Ancient Gods and Devils’ Divine Weapons and Godheads. He would try to raise his power and the Magical Beast Army’s power at the highest speed possible.

He must travel alone to achieve everything and he shouldn’t expose his lodging spot in the Graveyard of Gods and Devils to the crowd. He also couldn’t expose that he had the Graveyard of Gods and Devils’ Teleportation Gate. If news about this spread out, several peerless powerhouses like the Rain Demon would come after him and the consequences would be too horrible to imagine.

If he didn’t become a High-Level Soul Wizard or if the powerful Magical Beasts didn’t advance into the God-Level and form the Demon God Battle Formation, he wouldn’t be able to face peerless powerhouses like the Rain Demo. A chill ran down his spine just by thinking about the Rain Demon’s terrifying Rain Slaughter and Heavy Water Prison.

The powerhouses who comprehended the Water or Wind Elements’ Ultimate Laws were very strong, and even if they had just a preliminary comprehension of them, ordinary God-Level experts still wouldn’t be able to deal with them.

“Later, it’s time for me to travel alone.” After Yang Ling pondered over this for a moment, he quickly made up his mind. On one hand, this would be convenient to him, and on the other hand, he didn’t want to implicate Richardson, the Sword God Gerald, and others. After all, the Algernon Divine Branch’s Dio was trying to get Yang Ling’s Godhead, and if he traveled alone, Dio wouldn’t have any reason to ambush Richardson, the Chief Elven Priestess, and others.

Yang Ling had quickly understood the enemy’s objective through reading the dwarf’s memory.

Buzz!

When Yang Ling was about to continue pondering over the next plan, the pagoda’s mark between his brows started throbbing and it let out a soft noise. When he weaved a Wizard Seal and teleported inside to take a look, he discovered that two terrifying Energy Whirlwinds were formed in the sky and a large number of icicles, meteorites, fireballs, and firewalls attacked the Burning Fire Elf King and the Dark Dragon King, who were on the ground.

They had absorbed a large amount of the Great Wizard’s Faith Power through the Magical Divine Rings. The Dark Dragon King and the Burning Fire Elf King had already started facing their Divine Tribulation at the same time, but the Giant Ape King was still in meditation with his eyes closed.

The Burning Fire Elf King specialized in fire, and he didn’t just sustain the attacks of a large number of fireballs and firewalls, he was also attacked by a large number of icicles and Water Element Spells, and he suffered miserably.

As for the Dark Dragon King, he didn’t fare any better. The fireballs and firewalls were still manageable, but it was difficult for him to defend against the meteorites that fell from the sky. Even though he had hard scales, and he already released his Draconic Domain, he still cried loudly every time the meteorites smashed him. But his life wasn’t in danger; he was just miserable.

“Would they become Low-Level Deities or they would advance directly into High-Level Deity Stage like the Corpse Wizard King?” When Yang Ling discerned that both people’s lives weren’t in danger, he started observing this along with the Scorpion King Emmett, the Shadow Wizard Winnink, and others who rushed over upon getting news of this affair.

However, Yang Ling still got ready to attack as a precaution, and after he muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment, he summoned over the Corpse Wizard King and Ophelia, who were outside the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension.

Roar!

When a large meteorite smashed the Dark Dragon King’s scales, he was pained, and his bestial nature was stimulated. He tried to expand the Draconic Domain’s expanse to the greatest extent possible, and he shattered a meteorite with his paw. He also waved his tail strongly and shattered another meteorite. He strived hard to resist the terrifying Divine Tribulation and used the Magical Divine Ring to absorb Wish Power in the air to replenish his consumed energy quickly.

The Burning Fire Elf King didn’t act like the Dark Dragon King who attacked crazily. The Burning Fire Elf King released many tortoiseshell-like Fire Magical Barriers and formed layer upon layer of defenses. He strived to resist the Divine Tribulation. At first, the Magical Barriers were instantly shattered by the Divine Tribulation. But, as a large amount of Wish Power flowed into his body, his Mental Energy rose drastically, and he cast Magical Fire Shields at a higher speed. Even their power became greater.

There were strong and weak Divine Tribulations, and the strongest among them was none other than the Nine Heavens Lightning Divine Tribulation crossed by Yang Ling. Even apex experts didn’t dare to rashly block it, and if the Wizard Pagoda didn’t reveal its power at the crucial juncture, Yang Ling would have died long ago.

It was difficult to forecast the Divine Tribulation’s attacks, but this didn’t mean that they didn’t follow a certain pattern. The Corpse Wizard King practiced mainly the Death Law, and he was adept at Mental Energy Practice, as well as Soul Attacks. This was why the Divine Tribulation crossed by him focused on soul attacks and its attacks were terrifying. The Corpse Wizard King was caught off-guard and even a Soul Wizard, like Yang Ling, sustained heavy injuries.

As for the Burning Fire Elf King, he practiced mainly the Fire Law. He didn’t just suffer the attack of a large amount of purple Natural Fire, he still suffered attacks of an opposite element, the Water Element. As for the Dark Dragon King, his Draconic Domain was a type of Force Law, and this was why he suffered meteorites’ attacks along with the Fire Element’s Magical Attacks.

It was fortunate that even though the Divine Tribulations of the Burning Fire Elf King and the Corpse Wizard King were quite powerful, they still weren’t as strange and terrifying as the Corpse Wizard King’s Divine Tribulation. They managed to depend upon the steady flow of energy provided by the Magical Divine Rings to persist tenaciously and cross this.

After an hour, the Energy Whirlwind in the sky disappeared. The Burning Fire Elf King and the Dark Dragon King depended upon their power to cross the Divine Tribulation without suffering any mishaps. The Dark Dragon King became a High-Level Deity in one go as he wished and his power advanced by leaps and bounds. The Burning Fire Elf King had only become a Mid-Level Deity, but he was still quite excited because he reached the God-Level as he wished. His power rose drastically, and his whole body was engulfed by purples flames.

He had the precious Magical Divine Ring and the desert’s Natural Spirit Fire. This was why he believed that he could shortly become a High-Level Deity.

“Lord, thank you.” After the Dark Dragon King and the Burning Fire Elf King got over their delight, they prostrated in front of Yang Ling respectfully. If Yang Ling didn’t support them strongly, and if they didn’t get the powerful Magical Divine Rings, it would be unknown when they would get to achieve a Level Advancement.

“Stand up and learn from Ophelia the way to use the Demon God Battle Formation. Don’t fail to live up to the Magical Divine Rings in your hands.” Yang Ling helped his two powerful generals up and instructed them. Soon after, he weaved a Wizard Seal to teleport out. He sat cross-legged on the room and continued trying to decipher the remaining Dragon-Head Rings.

The Corpse Wizard King was steady and cool-headed. He could respond nimbly on the battlefield, and he had sharp senses. Ophelia was quite patient, and she had a unique talent when it came to guiding the crowd in their practice and managing the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. Yang Ling had two competent assistants, and this was why he could relax more. He didn’t have to waste time and energy on many affairs.

The Giant Ape King’s advancement to the God-Level was around the corner, but the beauty Sala, the scorpion king Emmett, the purple mouse Little Ice, the Thousand-faced Mink, and others were still waiting anxiously. They hoped to get a Magical Divine Ring one day. Many Magical Beasts needed to achieve a Level Advancement urgently, and even if he deciphered all Dragon Head Rings in his possession, they wouldn’t be enough. This was why he must look for time to study the way to craft a Magical Divine Ring from various materials.

Yang Ling had experience in crafting Magic Hunt Cards, and this was why he was confident that he could craft Magical Divine Rings as long as he had enough time and invested enough energy into this. But, the absorption speed and might of those rings would be quite different.

A night quickly passed!

The next morning, after Yang Ling had just finished deciphering a ring with two dragon’s heads, the Chief Elven Priestess and the Sword God Gerald came to his door.

“Yang Ling, we have discussed this at night, and we have decided that we won’t go with you to the Wanderer Castle and the Moon River.” The Chief Elven Priestess exchanged a glance with the Sword God Gerald before she paused and said, “At first, we came here with our clansmen to train and groom a group of elites. We also hoped to hunt a group of Magical Beasts for their Essence Crystals. But now we have already gotten so many Godheads, and we don’t have to continue traveling and training. We also won’t encumber you further.”

Richardson and the other Wanderers with God-Level Power didn’t comment about this, and even Yang Ling supported them wholly without complaining. But, the Chief Elven Priestess and the Sword God Gerald were aware that their clansmen encumbered the crowd. The previous journey was already so difficult, and the Moon River had many demons, as well as Alien Planes’ experts who came over.

The Chief Elven Priestess and the Sword God Gerald had gotten a batch of Godheads, and they could groom a group of clansmen with God-Level Power. This was why they didn’t want to take risks in the dangerous Moon River, and they also didn’t want their clansmen to continue encumbering Yang Ling. They didn’t want to make things difficult for him. After all, the reason why Richardson and his companions didn’t comment about this was that they gave Yang Ling’s face.

“Priestess, what will you do later? Will you ride Flying Magical Beasts and go to the Wanderer Castle or just go back to the Plane Channel?” Yang Ling discerned that the Chief Elven Priestess and the Sword God Gerald had already made up their minds, and this was why he didn’t say anything further. “The Graveyard of Gods and Devils is filled with perils. Why don’t I send Rodriguez with a group of Magical Beasts to escort you into the Plane Channel?”

“You don’t have to do so, Astonvela Manor’s environment is pretty good, and we plan to practice here for a period to see whether we can draw help from this region’s thick Magical Elements to become High-Level Deities. We still have several months left, and we will slowly sneak back. We won’t suffer any issues as long as we are careful,” the Chief Elven Priestess paused for a moment before she said, “Yang Ling, I have heard that the Moon River is very dangerous. You must be careful on the way. If you run into any difficulties, don’t force yourself to continue. You must retreat in time. You shouldn’t forget that there are still several months left until the Plane Channel’s closure, and we will wait for you here. You must come back safe and sound.”

“You can set your mind at ease, I will just go there to observe the situation. If I want to leave, none will manage to hold me off.” Yang Ling chuckled. He was confident in the next operation. He could escape unscathed just by depending upon the Five Elements Evasion Spells and the Teleportation Gate, let alone other skills.
