Chapter 687: Footsteps of War

In the year 3325 of the Bertha calendar, several years had passed since Savami became the Duke of Virginia. He had become a mature nobleman, and his business was thriving, especially the promotion of trains, which soon spread to most parts of the world.

Correspondingly, the power he represents is growing stronger, and it becomes easier to collect various information and explore various secrets.

With his hard work, the doubts about the Burning Iron Plane gradually became clear, and the answer finally appeared in Ivan's eyes.

"What a big deal! There is a force that absorbs the lifespan of living beings through burning iron. It can be said that the entire plane is under the control of the other party."

"Is this here?"

"I want to see what's going on."

As creatures of the same fourth level, the lifespan of an Arcane Wizard is limited to one thousand years, that of a Knight King is five hundred years, and that of a Holy Iron Knight is two hundred years at most, and at least the same as an ordinary person in Danara. This is undoubtedly a very strange thing.

Ivan was very eager to explore this. Before encountering the Burning Iron Realm, he never knew that his lifespan could be taken away so silently.

On this day, he found the source of the incident, a dark blue river located between the mountains. At first glance, it looked like a pool of stagnant water with a highly poisonous smell.

"The river water entered the ground. It turned out that the water veins changed the earth and created iron ore. The melon oil tree was just a mutated byproduct."

Ivan was hanging high in the air, like a man of steel, with his wings flapping slowly behind him. His eyes penetrated through numerous obstacles and took in everything below.

After observing for a long time, he took action, slowly descending to the ground and heading straight for the dark blue river.

Suddenly, his figure stopped in mid-air, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Just now, he had a premonition that there would be a great crisis if he went further down.

"Since we are here, how can we return without success?"

Ivan was not a man who would give up easily, so he chose to continue descending.

Then, he realized something, flipped his hands, and a pair of heavy hammers appeared in his hands, and he smashed the ground below hard, and immediately fireworks and fire started.

There was indeed something fishy about that place. With his hammering, a giant python emerged from the empty place. It looked like an illusory dark blue python with its mouth wide open, covering the sky and the sun.

The magnificent fireworks disappeared upon touching, without causing any ripples.

Ivan saw a hint of teasing in the python's eyes.

Tricky idea!

He knew that he had no chance of winning with just the little power in Savami, so he turned around and in the blink of an eye he turned into a steel eagle and flew away without looking back.

The iron eagle flapped its wings and flew into the sky, with the dark blue python chasing closely after it.

One fled and the other chased, up to the sky and into the earth.

But the distance between the two sides has never been widened.

"Impossible! How can a dragon hide in shallow water?"

Ivan realized that something was wrong. He had already used a power far beyond Savami's own. He accelerated the space, increased the speed of the rules, and used all his means, but he could not get rid of the entanglement behind him for a long time, and the strength in his body was rapidly consumed.

Logically speaking, the Burning Soul Plane is not as good as the Extreme Beast Plane, so it is impossible for such a powerful existence to exist there.

"This guy actually wanted to play a trick on me."

"That's all. Let's stop here."

At this point, he knew that he had no choice but to give it a try. Otherwise, when the other party lost the mood to play cat and mouse, that would be the moment when he would die.

The next second, an iron eagle reversed its direction, flapped its wings and expanded, and pounced backwards with all its might.

At the back was still the python's mouth which was several times wider than the Iron Eagle's. The whole scene seemed as if the Iron Eagle happened to be drilling into it, which was particularly strange.

With a loud bang, the iron eagle exploded when it was close to the python's mouth, and chaos ensued for a moment.

Not far away, an extraordinary pulling force, spanning thousands of miles, fell on Ivan, who had separated from the Iron Eagle, trying to pull him away, away from this place of trouble.

"Roar!"

This action directly angered the dark green python. It didn't care about the violent force in front of it at all, it swallowed forward and finally bit the phantom that had escaped into the depths of space.

The shadow disappeared without a trace.

The dark green python did not give up and continued to chase after it. Soon it retracted its head and stared at the place with a sinister and fearful look. After a while, it slowly disappeared without a trace.

……

Danara, Mondora Continent, City of Truth.

In the Peak of Truth, the Court of the Witch King, on the top floor of the No. 1 Golden Rock Tower, Luotian Gate stood in the center. At this moment, the entire gate was bursting with unprecedented strong light.

"puff!"

A figure squeezed out from the strong light, and his breath was extremely weak. It was none other than Savami.

After this dangerous ordeal, Sawami lost half of his body, and black poisonous blood kept flowing out from the gap. The remaining part of his body was blue and purple, and his flesh and blood were rapidly swelling, and it seemed that his condition could not be stopped.

"Fortunately, I'm still alive."

Luotian Gate quickly dimmed, and three figures stood in front of the gate. The leader was naturally Ivan Zun, and the others were Candy and Scar who guarded this place all year round.

Hearing Ivan's words with a hint of relief, the two people next to him did not refute. They knew that the methods of the True Wizard Throne were profound and unfathomable, far beyond their own understanding.

The two looked at this unusually tragic man with curiosity, secretly trying to figure out what had happened.

Under the gazes of the two, Ivan swung out several blasts of power in succession, surrounding the dying Savami, and sprinkled a few drops of vitality potion on him, not stopping until an obvious heartbeat was heard from inside.

The glow faded, revealing a figure inside.

Although Savami's body was incomplete, the blood stopped flowing, and all the negative factors were cleared up and would not get worse, so the crisis was resolved.

"Take good care of him. I'm going to meet someone first."

"Don't worry, we will definitely not let that kid Sawami die."

As the guardians of Luotianmen, Candy and Scar certainly knew Savami. Because of this, they were even more curious, but since the True Witch Throne didn't tell them, they didn't foolishly ask.

After Ivan finished explaining, he took a step forward and appeared in the Supreme Council.

Without alerting anyone else, a sturdy man as tall as an iron tower appeared at the wall of the Supreme Council, and Ivan hurried forward to greet him.

"Greetings to the Ancient Ancestor of Anshan. I didn't expect to alarm you. This is my fault."

"When you are very still, you want to move. It's just right for you to go out for a walk."

That’s right, the burly man in front of him is the strongest creature in Danara—Anshan Guzu, an eighth-level ancestor.

Seeing him appear, Ivan immediately understood. No wonder the strange python did not continue to chase. It turned out that it was attracted by the aura of the ancient ancestor of Anshan.

Otherwise, Savami and his own soul would probably not be able to be preserved.

Ivan thanked him sincerely again and invited Gu Zu to come in as a guest.

"It's pretty good here. Do you know what was chasing you just now?" The ancient ancestor of Anshan stood there without moving, looking at the entire City of Truth.

"A strange green python. I don't know what kind of creature it is. I was just about to ask you, sir." Ivan shook his head and quickly recounted the previous situation.

To be honest, he still couldn't figure it out.

"You believe too much in the limitations of the planes on living beings. This world is so big that there will always be some existences that break the rules. This is not an isolated case." The ancient ancestor of Anshan continued.

"Are there many such beings?" Ivan asked again.

"On the contrary, such beings are extremely rare, and you just happened to encounter them." Anshan Ancient Ancestor knew what he was worried about and gave a reassuring answer. "As for the creature just now, its strength level is definitely higher than yours, so you'd better not provoke it again."

"I understand that this kind of existence is not something I can handle."

Hearing the ancient ancestor's warning, Ivan nodded hurriedly. Unless his strength reached the Supreme Realm, he would definitely not set foot on the Burning Iron Plane again. He would not even be able to get in touch with everything that remained there and had to abandon everything.

He didn't feel it was a pity. After laying out so many dimensions through Sansheng Wanwu and Luotianmen, he was lucky to have only encountered one tough guy.

Every failure makes you wiser and you should be more careful next time.

"You are a hardworking person and your strength has improved well." The ancient ancestor of Anshan turned his head and glanced at him, nodding with satisfaction.

"Still a long way to go." Ivan said modestly, but he felt a little complacent in his heart.

Ever since the formation of the Web of the Heavens, he has been collecting the unique knowledge and cultivation systems of these planes through the Black Star members from various planes, and comparing the unique powers of these planes.

Over time, he has greatly enriched his own foundation.

The collision and integration of various knowledge has benefited him greatly. His strength, which had been growing slowly, has begun to improve rapidly, leading to his current progress. Even the ancient ancestor could not help but praise him.

"gone."

"Farewell, Ancient Ancestor."

"War is approaching, and you wizards will be indispensable in helping out."

The ancient ancestor of Anshan took a step forward and he didn't know how far he was. Only the sound came back faintly, ringing clearly in his ears.

Ivan waited a moment before standing up straight.

"War! Preparations have been underway for a long time, and it's finally coming." Of course, he knew which war the ancient ancestor was talking about, the Danara and Ash Planes, both of which were large planes.

It can be predicted that the war between the two planes will be an extremely fierce war, unlike the previous small-scale fights.

In fact, this was not the first time Ivan had been reminded of this. Many years ago, when he was in Fangyu Paradise where the Dark Night Mother Goddess lived, the Dark Night Mother Goddess had reminded him that the war with the Ash Plane would break out within ten years.

This is not much different from what the ancient ancestor of Anshan said.

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. We should take one step at a time."

This was something he had expected, so he would not lose his composure now. Moreover, the wizarding world had developed very well recently and had a certain ability to protect itself, so it would not be crushed to ashes in the war.

Nowadays, in addition to himself as the true wizard king, there are two other wizard kings in the entire wizard world, namely the Wizard King of the Sky and the Wizard King of Ten Thousand Trees.

That’s right, the original King of All Trees entered the sixth level not long ago, but he just failed to condense the throne.

As for the Void Kings, the former great sage Bateller Gardner was successfully promoted to level five and obtained a new title, 'King of a Hundred Mountains'. With this decrease and increase, the number of Void King wizards remains unchanged.

At level four, there are 57 arcane wizards and 64 other lords, both increases compared to before.

In general, the entire wizarding world is in high spirits and is not afraid of the coming war.

"True Wizard Throne, why are you standing outside and not going in?"

In the Temple of Truth, Philomena, the Queen of Frost, who was sitting inside, discovered where Ivan was. Seeing that he was a little dazed, she quickly approached him.

"Frost Queen, the war is approaching."

"what?"

"Notify everyone, except for the Ice Queen who is in seclusion, to have all the Witch Kings and Void Kings come to the meeting. We must arrange everything as soon as possible. This war is no joke."

"Okay, I'll go notify you right away."

Seeing the serious expression on the True Wizard Throne, Philomena's heart trembled slightly. She said no more and hurried back to the Hall of Truth.

Not long after, many high-level wizards gathered together and discussed for three days and three nights.

……

The third level of the underground world.

Thrill Paradise, this is a strange place that other creatures avoid.

At this moment, the ancient king Nicole, who was in charge here, was in 200% anxiety, and he kept flying back and forth in the great rift valley where the paradise was located.

"How to do how to do?"

"Julia and the others are in great danger. If we don't rescue them now, they will never come back. No, no, the paradise cannot be without you."

"But Nicole can't save everyone alone."

"Nicole went to ask that neighbor, Qing Cang Throne, for help? That's not right. That place is so dangerous, and we have no friendship with him. Why should we ask Qing Cang Throne to save people?"

"How about going to find the True Wizard Throne?"

"But will he really agree? Nicole deceived the True Wizard Throne last time."

Under the bright sunshine, Nicole's smaller figure rushed to the edge of the rift several times, but retreated again and again, which shows her inner conflict at the moment.

Most of the creatures in the park are plants, and Nicole is the same.

She is a nine-leaf, nine-flower plant, sensitive and shy by nature. Even though the strange environment of the paradise allowed her to successfully become an ancient king, it did not change her original temperament.

For Nicole, who has never left the park, staying in charge of the park is already the best she can do. Asking her to do other big things is beyond her ability.

"Have any of you been to the surface?"

Nicole went back and forth there many times, which dazzled others. Finally, thinking of the situation of Julia and others, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

No one answered her.

"There's none?"

"Never mind, Elena, Helen, come with me to the surface, and we'll go find the reliable-looking wizard Ivan."

"Is it the Lord of the True Wizard Throne?"

"That's right, we must find him as soon as possible. Let's go."

"Eh?"

Then, regardless of whether others were willing or not, Nicole waved her hand, pulled the other two tall figures, and flew out of the Great Rift Valley without hesitation.

Time passed quickly, the three of them traveled through mountains and rivers, and after many twists and turns, they finally appeared in the City of Truth.

When Ivan saw the real people, Nicole and the other two were in a mess. After asking, he found out that they had taken the wrong road several times and were confused all the way.

This made him more or less laugh and cry.

After all, he is an ancient king and has two lords. Not to mention that he can conquer all the way, but such low-level problems would actually occur. I have to say that Thrill Paradise is a very magical place.

"True Wizard Throne, Nicole begs you to save Julia and the others, okay?" Nicole and the other two suddenly knocked to the ground, crawling as low as they could, hoping to show their sincerity.

"The Ash Plane? No problem, I'll take you there."

"You--you agreed. That's great."

Hearing Ivan's simple response, Nicole raised her little face in disbelief, and felt like she was laughing instead of crying. (End of this chapter)
