A thousand years later.
Grimm, who was buried in the cave of skeletons, slowly opened his eyes. There were no energy ripples, no aura of a high-level being, no beautiful seven-colored runes of a self-sealing spell, and no natural force that belonged to a Magus.
Grimm was like the most ordinary human in the Magus World, not a single trace of his aura leaked out.
If such a scene were to return to the Magus World, it would probably cause a huge uproar among the high-level Magi!
This was the perfect self-sealing state that many Celestial Sorcerers and Eternal Dominators pursued after the path to the peak of rank 8, but to no avail.
This, coupled with the lowering of one's life force to achieve the lowest consumption, was close to the so-called eternal life in the eyes of low-level beings.
And this was the complete control of one's own power!
"It's really amazing, a completely new and different feeling."
Other than Celestial Sorcerers, there had never been a low-level Magus who pursued this state of power. On the contrary, some creatures of the foreign world that evolved passively would often pursue this kind of complete control of one's body to the extreme.
It was also because of this that some World Lords and Eternal Dominators of the foreign world would often have a longer lifespan than Magi.
Of course, many Magi had relatively short lifespans due to the damage to their souls from failing to advance, forced Recovery Potions, Soul Sorcery Sacrificial Spells, and many other reasons.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Grimm crawled out from under the skeleton and saw the towering mountain of the Infernal Spirit Myriads Head Bird. Its nine hundred and ninety-nine heads drooped and curled into a ball, snoring loudly.
Every time a Time Storm came, the Infernal Spirit Myriad Head Bird would shrink and escape into the underground cave. After the storm passed, it would come back up and activate its Infernal Spirit Origin Flame, continuing to refine and purify the Almighty Dominator's Soul, hatching this broken limb.
Every few dozen days, it would go back and forth like this. Compared to its long lifespan, it was really too tiring.
Without any energy ripples, Grimm was like a creature that had yet to reach rank 1, an existence that was completely detached from reality. It was too sudden for him to appear in the Dimensional Esophagus, but he walked step by step towards the interior of the black flames, below the belly of the Infernal Spirit Myriad Head Bird.
The black flames in the surroundings were an existence that was one with Grimm.
Above his head was the Infernal Spirit Ten Thousand Head Bird's body that was filled with unbelievable life force. Grimm slowly squatted down and gently touched the broken blade limb.
"Beep!" It was very soft and full of elasticity. It no longer had the self-protection of the Dominator Rule from before.
However, as the tri-colored eyes under the Mask of Truth flashed, Grimm frowned.
"The degree of purification is a little lacking?"
Grimm raised his head and sensed the state of the Infernal Spirit Bird. A feeling of hunger, emptiness, and scarcity was transmitted to him. Grimm was stunned. It turned out that the Infernal Spirit Bird had been maintaining its true form for more than a thousand years. Moreover, it was constantly refining its broken limbs. The Infernal Spirit Bird had not absorbed enough energy from the Dimensional Esophagus to replenish itself. It was hungry.
And with the amount of food that the Infernal Spirit Bird needed …
"A few hundred years ago, a few fellows appeared nearby and peeped at the Infernal Spirit Ten Thousand Head Bird. They thought it was some kind of illusory phenomenon and left. There should be a medium-sized or even large-scale gathering place nearby. Keke, this is a good opportunity to test out the concealment combat methods that rank 2 Magi used when they first developed the destructive force. "
Murmuring to himself, Grimm's unwavering figure gradually became transparent and disappeared.
… …
Five years later.
The City of Ashes, one of the Dimensional Esophagus gathering places.
Although the Bone Ash City had never had an incident like the Perforation Gate, where it would attempt to hunt down a Ruler after accumulating its strength for a certain period of time, the Bone Ash Altar in this underground city would be able to communicate with a powerful Void Being every once in a while and obtain some physical world resources through trade, thus becoming one of the Dimensional Food Path's gathering spots.
In the Dimensional Esophagus, some of the more common treasures of time and the bones of powerful beings were the most sought after resources in the Material World.
And that powerful Void Being could use these illusory treasures of time and the bones of powerful beings to exchange for some Void Being that it needed and earn the difference in price.
If that was really the case, the strength of that Void Being would be unimaginable after a long period of time. Once it gathered and nurtured a world, there would probably be some extraordinarily powerful laws that would then nurture some extraordinarily powerful super life forms.
It was also precisely because of this that the refugees of this gathering place had almost no disputes. They actually formed a relatively loose alliance society without any ethnic restrictions. Compared to the other gathering places and the wandering refugees, the refugees of the City of Ashes were full of energy and had already made this place their new home.
However, ever since the news of the first harvester going missing three years ago, everything in the once thriving City of Ashes had changed …
"Damn it, this time, even an Ash Blade has gone missing. He is provoking us and openly declaring war on the City of Ashes. The City of Ashes is currently at war!"
On the Bone Throne, the Divine Skeleton Statue roared angrily. Tens of thousands of azure runes flashed on its body, and a terrifying pressure shrouded the entire hall. In the huge underground City of Ashes, all the Ash Blades and bone ash harvesters trembled. This powerful Bone Ash Network had already ruled the City of Ashes for more than ten eras. It was an extremely terrifying ancient life form in the entire Dimensional Esophagus.
The ten great Ash Blades were the most capable assistants of the Bone Ash King and also potential challengers of the Bone Ash King.
"It's just Nine Blades. Judging from the bloodstains left at the first scene, that existence is only an extremely good at hiding and ambushing in the dark. It doesn't even have the absolute power to suppress powerhouses at the level of the Ash Blades, let alone you. Regardless of whether it's me or Five Blades who is good at sensing, we are its absolute nemesis. Leave this investigation mission to the two of us. "
The Bone Ash Dagger smiled proudly.
Seeing this, the Bone Ash King from the Divine Skeleton Statue snorted coldly and suppressed its anger.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you two. I don't want the City of Ashes to be like this the next time we make a sacrificial transaction. If the mission isn't completed, I'll use the two of you as sacrificial offerings."
After saying this, the Bone Ash King left the hall. The other seven Ash Blades also left one after another.
"You're crazy!"
After everyone left, Five Blades couldn't help but roar at the Head Blade's will in fear.
"Others might not know, but don't you know the true identity of Nine Blades? That's a cultivator of the Dimensional Gate! It can even make an existence like that disappear for no reason in the City of Ashes. How can we be its opponent? If we meet it, only death awaits us! "
The scarlet-eyed green-skinned dwarf, Five Blades, was close to going crazy.
