Chapter 415 Suppressing Level 5, Lord's Authority
A level 5 Morning Star Wizard's all-out attack, the moment the rule-based magic is truly unleashed, is no longer a mere "attack," but the descent of the rules!
Almost the instant the spear was thrown, the space itself emitted an unbearable cracking sound, collapsing and crumbling layer by layer!
That azure spear seemed to have traversed the distance of space directly, without a flight process or an approaching trajectory.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lynn!
With such speed and such offensive power, not to mention that Gnar, Aaron, and Ian dared not make a move rashly, for fear that if they intervened, they would become a burden.
Even if the three of them were truly willing to risk everything to help, it would already be too late.
The three Level 4 Morning Star Wizards could only watch helplessly as the azure spear, like a divine punishment spear tearing through space, crossed all obstacles and descended upon Lynn and the World Tree!
Rumble!!!
Before it even truly landed, just as it approached, the spear, formed from extreme flames, already released unimaginably terrifying high temperatures!
On the massive branches of the World Tree, the golden and silver leaves at the edges began to show signs of scorching!
Some were curled up, some were blackened, and some even had faint sparks rising from them!
That's a sign that it was forcibly ignited!
Looking from afar.
A long, azure spear suddenly crashed down from the sky.
Below it, the World Tree, a symbol of life and antiquity, seemed to be ignited at this moment, its branches and leaves scorched, emitting a terrifying blue flame!
Destruction and life collide head-on at this moment!
However, at the eye of the storm, gale-force winds were howling!
The power contained within the rule of "slaughter" stirred up the air currents of heaven and earth, transforming them into countless sharp, knife-like turbulent currents that frantically tore apart everything around them.
Lynn's robes fluttered wildly in the gale, almost torn to the bone and trembling violently.
But he remained completely still, calm to the point of being indifferent.
At this moment, a faint blue glow emanated from between his brows, about to burst forth from his body. The light was profound and ancient, as if it contained some higher level of primordial energy.
It is the primordial seed, a gift from "Returning to Truth in the Cloud Realm".
Once it fully erupts, it will be enough for him to contend with the Moonlit Wizard for a short period of time. That is the life-saving trump card of the four lords!
But Lynn's eyes only flickered slightly.
The next instant, he forcefully suppressed the cyan light that was about to erupt!
The fluctuations of the primordial seed were forcibly suppressed and returned to their dormant depths between the eyebrows.
Because it's not worth it.
If such a trump card, capable of turning life and death, were used in the internal strife of the Western Maple Domain, just to deal with a level 5 wizard, that would be a true waste of resources!
Having made up his mind, Lynn slowly raised his hand, and a slender, fair hand emerged from his wide sleeves.
With two fingers joined together, he gently pinched in the air, the movement unhurried and slow, as if he were to take out something from the world that should not be revealed.
The next moment, an extremely dazzling turquoise luster suddenly appeared!
The light was not large; in fact, it could be described as extremely small.
However, the small point gently pinched between two fingers is about the size of a ring.
However, the moment it appeared, the entire world seemed to have been put on a "still" switch!
Time seemed to stand still!
An intense, almost tangible life force burst forth from that point of blue light, sweeping out in all directions!
That was not gentle nourishment, but a life-suppressing force that overwhelmed everything!
In mid-air, the azure spear that was about to descend suddenly paused for a moment!
In the distance, the Soul of Slaying Wizard, suspended in the air, also froze for a moment!
Further away, the formal wizards who had long since retreated from the battlefield stood frozen in place, their movements motionless!
Even the three of them, including Gna, froze at the same time, as if enveloped by some invisible force, suspended between heaven and earth!
All of this suddenly occurred not just a simple contest between the strong and the weak, but a "dimensional reduction attack"!
At this moment, Lynn gently pinched the turquoise light, no bigger than a ring, between two fingers of his right hand. It seemed to be a tiny, insignificant thing, yet it seemed to contain the source of an entire set of rules.
The next instant, a vibrant green life force, like a bursting dam, surged forth from his fingertips!
There was no explosion, no roar, yet it was more suffocating than any destruction!
The aura spread out silently, sweeping in all directions, and wherever it passed, everything seemed to be incorporated into some higher level of order.
At first glance, this scene appears as if time has been forcibly cut off.
It was as if a supreme being, who controlled the rules of time, had, in the blink of an eye, "removed" this world from the river of time, bringing it to a complete standstill.
The wind ceased to flow, the fire ceased to leap, and even the azure spear that was about to fall froze in mid-air.
Everything was still, like a painting.
But this is not time.
If a being from a higher dimension were to look down at this moment, they would find that the bluish-green light emanating from between Lynn's fingers had not disappeared.
It simply "spread out".
Formless and without appearance.
It quietly blends into the world, permeating every inch of space and every regular texture.
From beginning to end, the law of time was not the driving force behind all of this.
It is life!
It was a life rule that had been pushed to its limit, so intense that it was almost out of control!
Crazy! Vast! Everywhere!
Almost instantly, it covered and swallowed up everything around it!
At this moment, everything in heaven and earth seemed to be sealed inside a piece of transparent amber.
Whether it was the imposing azure spear, the Fiery Soul Wizard in the distance, or the wizards watching from even further away, they were all "captured"!
Unable to break free, unable to escape, only able to remain trapped within it!
It was in this eerily silent atmosphere that things began.
"Click".
A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out.
Not big.
Yet, in this still world, it sounded particularly jarring.
The next moment, in mid-air, the azure spear that was originally as solid as a divine weapon and capable of piercing through everything suddenly trembled!
Immediately afterwards, a crack appeared on the gun!
Then came the second, the third... and countless more!
It spread rapidly, densely packed, like a spider web!
The gun, which was originally flawless and formed from the rules, was now like a fragile piece of porcelain, beginning to crumble wildly under the erosion of an invisible force!
At that very moment, Lynn spoke softly.
"broken."
This single word, however, is like a law that comes with words, as if the creator of heaven and earth, whose words contain the will of heaven, has casually rewritten the established order.
The next moment!
"boom!!!"
The azure spear shattered with a crash!
Countless fragments of flame exploded, turning into streams of light that filled the sky. Before they could spread, they were completely swallowed up and annihilated by the omnipresent rules of life!
That strike just now was like the wrath of a supreme god, who hurled an eternal spear from the heavens, intending to pierce through all living beings and destiny!
But at this moment, it seemed as if a higher level of being had descended.
That is the true "Creator".
If the supreme god is merely an entity that governs the rules, then what Lynn is touching at this moment is the "source" that transcends the rules.
Seven days after creation, all things came into being.
Even the supreme deity is merely a link in the creation system.
How could such divine wrath possibly contend with the power of creation?!
"impossible!!!"
In mid-air, the Soul-Slaying Wizard finally lost his voice.
His eyes widened suddenly, his pupils contracted violently and even bulged slightly, and he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
In that instant, his worldview seemed to be torn apart!
How could a mere level four Morning Star Wizard possibly achieve this?!
However, just a moment later, the Soul of the Flame Wizard seemed to suddenly realize something.
His gaze, which had been so shocked that he was almost dazed, suddenly sharpened, and his emotions surged up in an instant, a mixture of resentment, anger, and a hint of undisguised horror.
He stared intently at Lynn, his voice urgent:
"Such a rich life force... could not possibly be at a level that you can control!"
"It is the spirit of the blue sky!"
"You have used the rules of life to nourish my flames in reverse, disrupting the stability of the magic!"
At this moment, he finally grasped the "explanation," even though this explanation still shook him to his core.
But at least it makes everything seem less "incomprehensible".
After all, he was a level 5 Morning Star Wizard.
Even though everything around him was completely sealed off by that terrifying and dense life force, as if frozen in amber of rules, he was still struggling.
The power of rules surged wildly within his body, clashing and tearing at the omnipresent life force.
Although unable to break free from the restraints, they were still able to speak with difficulty.
However, his tone at this moment was no longer the arrogant one he had been at the beginning.
That attitude of looking down, scrutinizing, and even contemptuous has long since disappeared.
Instead, there was a deep sense of apprehension, and even a vague sense of fear.
"Ah……"
Below, Lynn smiled gently.
"You got it right."
He paused, then chuckled softly.
"Unfortunately... there's no reward."
As soon as he finished speaking, the World Tree behind him underwent a tremendous transformation.
Just now, under the intense pressure of that azure spear, the branches and leaves were scorched, as if they would be burned to ashes at any moment, just as the world was about to collapse under the wrath of the supreme god.
But at this moment, as that endless life force poured down...
Everything is turning around!
The scorched golden and silver leaves recovered and regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming even more crystal clear and radiating a richer glow of life than before!
With its branches growing thicker and its root system becoming more stable, the entire World Tree seemed to have undergone a transformation at this moment!
Above the rules of fire, the power of slaying flames should have burned everything and destroyed all things, but what Lynn brought was the completely opposite "rebirth".
Destruction and life cease to clash at this moment.
Instead, it was suppressed, covered up, and rewritten!
Lynn stood at the center of this new life.
He took a step forward, and the earth responded silently the moment his foot touched the ground.
The ground, which had been scorched and cracked by the flames, with its broken stone slabs and withered soil, was instantly nourished and restored.
The cracks are healing, the scorched earth is rejuvenated, and even faint signs of new green growth are quietly sprouting from the cracks!
He took another step, and behind him it seemed as if spring had returned to the earth, and all things were reviving.
That scene was as if the destruction had not yet dissipated, and he had already stepped into the destruction, forcibly covering it with "rebirth"!
Life and death were rearranged at his feet.
All of this, even though everything around was completely "captured" by that terrifying life rule and could not move an inch.
Yet it was still possible to clearly perceive that irresistible force, that awe-inspiring feeling as if the world itself had been rewritten!
This scene is deeply etched into everyone's soul, and will never be forgotten for a lifetime!
Lynn, meanwhile, stepped over all of this, facing the lingering aftershocks of destruction that had not yet completely dissipated.
Take it one step at a time and move upwards!
He walked towards the Flame-Slaying Soul Wizard, who was bound and suppressed in mid-air.
Ahead, the Soul-Slaying Wizard is struggling frantically.
The power of rules surged, attempting to break free from the pervasive life force.
The more you struggle, the heavier the oppression becomes!
With each step Lynn took closer, the life force that permeated the world grew stronger!
It was as if the entire space was shrinking and pressing down according to his will!
The face of the Soul-Slaying Wizard had turned completely gloomy. His initial composure, indifference, and all-controlling demeanor had vanished, replaced by an undisguised ugliness.
Especially when he watched Lynn approach him step by step, the oppressive feeling made it hard for him to breathe! Deep in his eyes, a profound shock and endless fear surfaced!
"impossible……"
He growled inwardly.
"The Spirit of the Azure Sky...that's the sacred artifact of the Radiant Moon from the Western Maple Domain!"
"Only true lords, those who have stepped into the Dawn Star Realm, are qualified to take control!"
"he……"
His gaze was fixed on Lynn, as if trying to see right through him.
"Just a mere level four..."
"A so-called false lord..."
"How could they possibly achieve this level of skill?!"
But at this moment.
Lynn suddenly spoke, his tone calm, yet it carried an unfathomable authority, as if he were issuing a judgment from a high position:
"The vassals have rebelled, defied their superiors, and attacked their lord..."
He paused slightly, his gaze suddenly sharpening.
"Lord, you have the right to kill him on the spot."
Upon hearing this, the world seemed to pause once again.
This rule is clearly written in the laws of the Western Maple Domain and even the entire Natural God Dynasty!
Insubordination is punishable by death!
At this moment, the actions of the Soul-Slaying Wizard have crossed this coldest line!
Lynn's words were not empty words; he truly deserved them!
The moment the words left his mouth, Lynn's eyes changed.
His once calm and indifferent gaze suddenly narrowed, transforming into a sharp glint.
The killing intent was palpable within it!
Like a cold blade being drawn from its sheath, silent yet deadly!
The Soul of Slaying Warlock, locked onto by this gaze, felt as if struck by lightning!
His face turned deathly pale instantly!
At that moment, he clearly felt the breath of death!
That was not bluffing, not a test, and certainly not intimidation.
They actually wanted to kill him!
His heart sank suddenly.
This fourth-level lord, though not of high cultivation level and of mysterious origin, is a complete madman!
Previously, he dared to suppress the "War of Conflict" wizard in public, without any regard for the consequences.
Now, he was completely suppressed by the life rules of the Azure Sky Spirit, and had almost no power to resist.
If Lynn really makes a move now, he might actually die here!
Once this thought arises, it is like a venomous snake, instantly coiling around the mind and mind, impossible to shake off!
He has lived for thousands of years, starting from nothing and cultivating step by step to reach the fifth level of Morning Star Realm, and even has the hope of breaking into the sixth level of Morning Star Realm!
The future is not yet over, the road is not yet closed; how could he possibly be willing to die here?!
Unwilling!
fear!
anger!
A torrent of emotions surged wildly within him!
What alarmed him even more was Lynn's gaze.
That murderous intent was so real, so real that it sent chills down your spine!
It was as if he was not a fourth-level wizard who had just entered the Dawn Star realm.
He was a cold-blooded person who had personally killed countless people of the same level, and even... had once killed a level 5 being!
That look in your eyes could never be faked!
For this reason, the Soul-Slaying Wizard experienced fear for the first time in a truly meaningful way.
He didn't want to die, he was unwilling to die, and he was even more afraid of dying here in vain!
But amidst this life-or-death pressure, Lynn's gaze suddenly changed.
The murderous intent that had been so solid suddenly dissipated, replaced by a cold and indifferent mockery, as if looking at a ridiculous clown.
"but……"
Lynn spoke calmly, his tone regaining its previous composure.
"This lord has just arrived in the Western Maple Domain."
"To kill a Morning Star Wizard so soon after arriving... that would be rather inappropriate."
this sentence.
It was like pulling someone back from the edge of an abyss!
The Soul of the Flame Wizard was jolted, and his extremely tense nerves suddenly relaxed!
"so……"
Lynn continued speaking, her tone indifferent.
"The death penalty can be waived."
"But he cannot escape punishment."
His gaze shifted slightly, already passing over the Soul-Slaying Wizard and landing in the distance.
"You cannot escape the prison punishments of the lord's manor."
Then, his voice turned somber.
"Gna".
"According to the rules of the Western Maple Domain, take this person back."
"And... that wizard of 'War of Conflict'."
The order was issued, as if a judgment had taken effect.
Meanwhile, in mid-air, the Soul of the Flame Slayer's state of mind fluctuated violently at this moment.
Just moments ago, he was struggling on the brink of death, but now, he has been pardoned with a single sentence.
The dramatic shift in his fortunes made his face grow increasingly pale, even contorted.
Anger is humiliated by being used as an "object of protest" and as a tool for "displaying authority".
But these emotions seem pale and powerless in the face of the reality of "surviving," at least he is still alive.
However, he didn't even have time to say another word.
The next moment, Lynn gently tapped with two fingers.
The emerald green light that had been hovering between his fingers suddenly shifted, transforming into a stream of light that instantly entered the body of the Soul-Slaying Wizard!
In an instant, the consciousness of the Soul-Slaying Wizard vanished completely, as if he were sealed inside a piece of transparent amber, losing all awareness.
At the same time, the extremely dense life force that permeated the world began to slowly recede.
Like the receding tide, it disappeared silently and without a trace.
Everything around them that was originally "sealed in amber" gradually began to unseal.
The wind flows again, and the fire leaps once more.
Those figures that had been frozen in time, whether they were the formal wizards in the distance or the three Morning Star wizards, Gnar, Aaron, and Ian, all regained their ability to move at this moment.
What can be restored is not only the action, but also the shock that has not yet dissipated!
Just as everyone's mind was not yet fully recovered.
Lynn had already turned around, his gaze drifting lightly into the distance.
It landed on Gna, who was still somewhat dazed, as if he had not yet fully recovered from what had just happened.
"Gernard?"
Gna was jolted!
He snapped back to his senses, his expression turned serious, and almost instinctively took a step forward and bowed in respect.
"Your subordinate is here!"
His voice carried an overwhelming sense of awe and reverence.
Lynn didn't look at him any longer; her gaze slowly swept across the land.
It was a battlefield that had just experienced destruction and rebirth.
The scorched earth has just been restored, but the cracks have not yet disappeared.
On this land, countless formal wizards still stood scattered about.
When Lynn's gaze swept over them, he didn't say a word, but it was as if an invisible pressure was descending from the sky!
One by one, the formal wizards trembled violently!
No one dared to look them in the eye, no one dared to hesitate; almost at the same time, everyone lowered their heads!
Bow! Show respect!
That is the etiquette of a subject!
Whether they are willing or not.
Regardless of the noble families standing behind them.
At this moment, they lowered their heads to an outsider, to a "lord" who was only level four but had just suppressed two Morning Star Wizards!
Standing tall in mid-air, Lynn's robes fluttered in the wind. Below, countless figures bowed their heads. The scene was like a king reigning over the world, as if a new king was crowning himself with authority amidst ruins and rebirth!
However, Lynn could only smile coldly to himself.
These bowings are merely submission out of fear, not true surrender.
But... that's enough.
At least from this moment on, the word "lord" is no longer just a title.
next moment.
Among countless bowed figures, Lynn's figure suddenly faded away and disappeared without a trace!
Following closely behind, Gnar, Aaron, and Ian also acted swiftly.
Although his heart was still churning with shock, he dared not hesitate for a moment in his actions.
They escorted the completely sealed Flame Soul Wizard and another Wizard of "War of Strife," and in a flash, they also disappeared from the spot!
The world returned to silence, but the oppressive feeling lingered.
The official wizards below kept their heads down, none daring to move or stand up, as if worried that their disrespect would once again attract the lord's attention!
Time passed slowly, bit by bit, until a moment later.
Finally, someone cautiously looked up and, after confirming that Lynn had indeed left, slowly stood up as if relieved.
But the shock and fear weighing on my heart did not diminish in the slightest.
The first figure quickly disappeared.
Then came the second and third rounds.
……
Like a receding tide.
These official wizards from various noble families sped off in all directions!
They had only one thought: to spread the word about what had happened today!
The sooner the better!
A level 5 Morning Star Wizard and a level 4 Morning Star Wizard were suppressed on the spot by a newly arrived level 4 lord!
They could even capture him outright!
This news was more than just a shock; it was a thunderclap that could unleash a storm throughout the entire Western Maple Domain!
The news will spread to all the noble families, to the hidden power centers, and even to the high and mighty Rockefeller family in the first instance!
At that moment, everyone had the same thought in their minds.
The "foreign lord" they originally thought they could control at will and would be replaced sooner or later seems to be not so simple, and even more dangerous than they imagined!
The heavens of the Western Maple Realm... perhaps, are truly about to change. (End of Chapter)
