Chapter 97: The End

“Metamagic Specialty – Spell Heightening?”

Li Yi stood there like a clay or wooden statue, completely stunned.

His shock was simply beyond words.

Metamagic Specialization was one of the special abilities, similar to Bloodline Abilities. However, it was not related to bloodline and could be acquired through training.

For example, Magic Gesture was one of the methods to train such a specialization.

But just as among Dragons, there were powerful ones like the Black Dragon and Evil Dragon, and weak ones like wyverns and drakes, Metamagic Specializations were also ranked into different grades.

The lowest tier was Spell Proficiency.

Its effect – “practice makes perfect” – could speed up spellcasting and slightly enhance spell effects.

Typically, over ninety percent of High-Rank Spell Apprentices could awaken this specialization.

As for Li Yi himself, perhaps due to numerous life-and-death battles, signs of awakening had appeared early.

Additionally, Silent Spell, Instant Spell, Spell Potency, Extended Range, and Extended Duration, though their effects were far superior to Spell Proficiency, still belonged to the low-tier categories and could be awakened through training.

Further up were two difficult peaks to climb – Maximized Spell and Spell Penetration.

Those who could obtain these two specializations were already rare lucky ones and outstanding talents.

And at the very pinnacle, the one and only, was – Spell Heightening!

This effect was something even many Heavenly Decree Powerhouses failed to attain in their entire lives.

Its power was undeniable.

One must know that raising a spell by one level sometimes meant a difference in power of several times!

And now, this fatty was exchanging a super magic array for the Metamagic Specialty – Spell Heightening?

Common sense was overturned, his worldview shattered. Li Yi was speechless, not knowing what to say.

“A bunch of nonsense!” You Honghu snorted angrily, a trace of panic clearly flickering deep in his eyes. “Watch me tear apart your lies!”

Wang Sheng’s anger had been suppressed for who knew how long. With the chance for revenge right before him, he did not lose his reason but instead grew calmer, as still as water.

Long-term endurance had given him a resilient will and a strong heart.

“Whether it’s nonsense or not, you’ll know if you try, won’t you?”

His tone was placid, his expression serene. His every move was like a deity descending to the mortal world, haughty and revered!

“Try? Then let’s try! – Rain of Prison Fire!”

With a sinister roar, You Honghu’s hands moved fiercely. This was the first time he performed Magic Gestures with such precision.

As if the heavens were collapsing, at the end of the sky, fiery lights clamored. A meteor shower of raging Prison Fire carved scorching marks across the sky, tearing the firmament and drifting clouds to shreds!

As if it were the end of days, three molten, boiling giant rocks shattered the Void and descended from the sky!

Rain of Prison Fire was actually similar in principle to “Doomsday Meteor,” and their effects were also hard to distinguish between.

Its effect was not just raining fire from the sky; it could simultaneously summon a Void Inferno!

Clearly, You Honghu had held back in his previous spell.

Now, going all out, three world-shaking streams of fire roared furiously, like a heavenly tribulation arriving!

“Oh? Not bad…” The fatty’s expression was vague yet calm, seemingly harmless, but his hand movements were startlingly sharp and swift. “– Archangel’s Admonition.”

A brilliant and resplendent angelic phantom appeared behind him. Wang Sheng formed hand seals, and a cross-shaped radiance lit up in his palm!

A glorious light erupted, like golden morning glow dyeing the heavens and earth.

Simultaneously, the three Prison Fire boulders lit up with the same cross-shaped radiance and exploded mid-air before they could land!

Even the furious, unwilling roars of the Void Inferno within could faintly be heard.

Amid rolling thunder, the meteor fire boulders splattered. Their residual power, like surging waves, turned the entire mountaintop into a charred sea of fire.

“Hiss!”

Li Yi felt that before these two, he was like an ant. Just a little collateral damage would leave him dead without a burial place.

Both of them were at the Superior Spell Seal level, commonly known as level 6, and they were already this powerful!

At the critical moment, two Fusang Tree Guards strode over. Their massive green hands extended, grabbed Li Yi, turned their bodies, and used their towering forms to block the residual spell effects.

“You scum, trying to slip away? No way!”

Seeing this scene, You Honghu flew into a rage. Purgatory energy coiled and swirled in his palms as he prepared to strike, but his face suddenly turned deathly pale!

In the sky above, a rainbow-colored beam of light, carrying a sacred and holy aura, descended like a heavenly tribulation, obliterating the Void as it fell straight down.

Boom!

Using a bone shield to block, You Honghu hastily retreated. But the fatty, not letting up when gaining the upper hand, raised his hand. The constellation pattern on his chest and abdomen flashed, and several more beams of light cascaded down!

This spell was the upgraded version of Pillar of Light – Rainbow Judgment!

As the rainbow colors fell and multicolored lights intertwined, You Honghu fled in disarray. From time to time, he used spells like Bone Shield, Dark Barrier, or even Corpse Wall to protect himself, but to little effect.

His spells, whenever cast, disintegrated under Rainbow Judgment, unable to hold out for even a moment.

Li Yi noticed that the glowing wings behind the fatty were not just for show; they also enhanced light-based spells. Combined, they were incredibly powerful!

“This is what can truly be called a Mage! Moving mountains and filling seas, breaking the sun and swallowing the moon!”

Li Yi’s face was illuminated by the rainbow radiance, displaying endless splendor. His eyes also shone with brilliance, filled with soaring pride.

To be honest, up until now, although he had trained diligently, his real motivation was actually just two words – “going home.”

Everything was just to return to his original world.

But at this moment, the thrilling scene before him not only made his heart tremble, leaving an indelible mark, but also made him truly yearn for the term “Mage” for the first time.

A real man should be like this!

“Become a Spell Apprentice sooner…”

Li Yi secretly made up his mind.

The storm suddenly ceased.

When Wang Sheng stopped, the entire majestic peak had nearly been flattened by him alone. The ground and mountain terrain were riddled with holes, a scene of utter devastation.

You Honghu stumbled, leaning against a rock, his body covered in wounds.

“I remember you used to be most skilled in nature magic!” he said with a venomous gaze and cold, mocking tone. “What’s wrong? Switched to light magic?”

“That was a last resort. To counter your Infernal Magic, only the light element would do,” the fatty replied, frighteningly calm, even continuing to chat casually. “To kill you, I’ve exerted every effort, exhausted my mind… Look, I’ve lost several circles of weight just from thinking of strategies.”

This unfunny joke made You Honghu’s expression grow even more frenzied.

“Chimei Wangliang!”

He raised both hands. Four projections rose behind him. The black projections grew with the wind, reaching over twenty meters tall. Their eye sockets flickered with scarlet light, and between reality and illusion, ferocity overflowed.

However, these four Evil Ghost Lords, though imposing like abysses, seemed to act independently. Not only was there no sign of fusion, they actually restricted and repelled each other, affecting combat power.

“No wonder, even though you’re a Superior Spell Seal, your cultivation is much weaker than others of the same level,” Wang Sheng said with a sharp eye, spotting the problem at a glance. “Borrowed power is ultimately not your own…”

“Trying to shake my confidence? Daydream!” You Honghu laughed arrogantly and proudly. “I am a Heaven’s Pride of the You Clan. How could a few words from you affect my mind?”

“Heaven’s Pride of the You Clan? Is that really what your You Clan elders think?” Wang Sheng’s words were plain but hit the mark. “From the moment you ‘consumed’ Xuan’er, you had already strayed onto the wrong path… The Great Dao is difficult, while the small paths are easy. Over time, you became less and less willing to build step by step, choosing shortcuts every time, forming a vicious cycle. Your strength is just a facade, a castle in the air!”

A few simple words shattered You Honghu’s haughty disguise, revealing his true self!

“Nonsense! Utter nonsense!” You Honghu looked deranged, waving his hands continuously. The four Evil Ghost Lords erupted with necrotic energy. “Tide of the Horde!”

From the ground beneath his feet, countless pale corpses emerged. From few to many, they gushed forth like a spring, rushing forward wave after wave, emerging madly.

The momentum gradually grew majestic. Wang Sheng seemed to walk upon the tide, under his feet, an overwhelming tide of corpses!

But Wang Sheng’s expression grew increasingly scornful. “Reached the end of your rope? Such area-of-effect spells are useless against experts of our level!”

With a carefree laugh, sacred light surged from his entire body, as if he were a blazing sun that dimmed the scorching sun in the sky above.

Bathed in holy light, the sea of corpses all turned to ashes.

But by now, You Honghu was already very close.

“You know what? From beginning to end, Zhang Xuan never loved you!”

After this psychological blow, a pale green spear coalesced in his palm.
