Chapter 445 - 224: 80% Elementalization, The God-Slaying Operation Begins

Chapter 445: Chapter 224: 80% Elementalization, The God-Slaying Operation Begins

In the Thunder Elemental Plane, at the foot of a steep cliff.

A turbulent torrent of elemental energy had formed a veritable ocean of blue and white, completely enveloping the base of the cliff.

Thirty Thunder God Golems stood guard around the ocean’s perimeter, dutifully protecting the figure within.

Suddenly, the ocean seemed to pause for an instant before rapidly contracting, surging into the body of the figure seated on the ground as if a hundred rivers were flowing into the sea.

Pei Ze’s eyes snapped open, a thunderous light seeming to flash within them.

Letting out a long breath, Pei Ze summoned the Eye of Omniscience.

[Elementalization (Thunder): 81.68%]

[Elemental Origin: 81.68]

’I’ve finally pushed my elementalization progress past 80%.’

Pei Ze estimated that he had spent about six or seven months in the Thunder Elemental Plane this time.

Fortunately, his gains were substantial; his elementalization progress had more than doubled.

For any other Level 4 Wizard, 80% elementalization would be enough to start attempting a breakthrough.

Pei Ze, however, was not satisfied. His goal had always been one hundred percent elementalization.

’It’s a shame the difficulty skyrockets after 80%.’

Pei Ze felt a slight sense of regret.

As his elementalization had progressed, his training efficiency in the core region had already been gradually decreasing. After surpassing 80%, however, it plummeted dramatically.

Now, even completely consuming a wisp of the Power of Rules only increased his elementalization by less than 0.5%.

At this rate, by the time he reached about 90%, the efficiency of this method would be no better than his normal, daily training.

’I guess hoping to reach 100% in one go was too much to ask.’

Pei Ze sighed, but he quickly composed himself.

Regardless, raising his elementalization past 80% was already an excellent result.

Under normal circumstances, achieving this would have taken at least eleven or twelve years.

Now, he had done it in about half a year. The gains could only be described as bountiful.

As for the increased difficulty after 80%, Pei Ze had long been mentally prepared for it.

’If all else fails, I can just join the blood war.’

Pei Ze stood up and flew toward the outer regions.

The Power of Rules in his Sea of Consciousness was completely depleted; he needed to condense more.

With his elementalization over 80%, Pei Ze could now bear a load of twelve wisps of the Power of Rules simultaneously.

Moreover, the speed at which he could convert and condense the Power of Rules was also much faster than before.

After more than forty days, twelve fine bolts of lightning had once again formed around Pei Ze’s Elemental Fire.

He was just about to re-enter the core region to continue his training when his expression shifted. A message from Tower Spirit 1 echoed in his mind.

In the next second, with a flash of light, Pei Ze vanished from the spot.

The thirty Thunder God Golems disappeared along with him.

「Chenxi City, Stargazing Platform of the Wizard Tower.」

Pei Ze’s figure materialized out of thin air. He gestured with his hand, and a silver butterfly landed in his palm, transforming into a letter.

As his gaze swept over the letter, a sharp glint flashed in Pei Ze’s eyes.

’It’s finally starting.’

Pei Ze’s expression was filled with emotion.

It had been two or three years since he first learned of the divine abomination appearing in the Dark Territory. Now, the god-slaying operation, which had been in planning all this time, was finally about to begin.

The thought of coming face-to-face with a Divine Spirit made his heart pound with excitement.

Composing himself, he clenched his fist, crushing the letter. It disintegrated into a silver mist that rapidly expanded, enveloping his entire body.

For a moment, his vision was filled with silver.

When his sight cleared, Pei Ze found himself in an incredibly spacious hall.

It was called a hall, but it was more like a plaza.

Overhead was a vast, boundless starry sky, with crisscrossing starlight and the Milky Way stretching across it.

One look was all it took to know this was not a real place, but an illusory space.

Pei Ze looked down at his body, which had a translucent quality.

In truth, his real body was still in the Wizard Tower; this was merely a projection.

Gazing around, he saw over a hundred people in the hall, all of them projections without exception.

Suddenly, Pei Ze caught sight of a familiar figure in his peripheral vision. He turned to look, and a smile couldn’t help but spread across his face.

At the same time, the other person also noticed Pei Ze, and a smile bloomed on her face as well.

"Senior Sister, did you come with our teacher?" Pei Ze asked with a smile.

Yin Xue nodded and smiled. "I’m in our teacher’s Wizard Tower right now."

After a pause, she glanced around and said in a low voice, "I’m just here to observe and learn this time."

Pei Ze followed her gaze, looking around the hall, and nodded slightly.

Although there were over a hundred people here, at most thirty or forty of them were actually participating in the god-slaying operation. Without exception, they were all Elemental Mages who owned a Wizard Tower.

As for the others, most were just here to gain experience, or perhaps to help operate the combat command systems of the Wizard Towers.

"Oh, right," Yin Xue said, suddenly remembering something. "Let me introduce you to someone."

With that, she waved to someone not far away.

"Senior Brother."

From about ten meters away, a lean man in his thirties walked over with a smile.

Yin Xue introduced him to Pei Ze. "This is Senior Brother Lu Yan. Like us, he is also one of our teacher’s disciples."

Then she turned to Lu Yan with a smile and said, "Senior Brother, I don’t think I need to introduce Junior Brother Pei Ze, do I?"

"Of course not." Lu Yan laughed heartily. "Junior Brother Pei Ze’s name has spread throughout all of Chenxi City. I’ve heard so much about you my ears are practically ringing. I’ve wanted to meet you for a long time."

Lu Yan had a rather cheerful and frank personality, and his words and actions gave off a sense of straightforwardness.

This was extremely rare among Wizards.

Pei Ze became thoughtful.

’They say a disciple reflects their teacher. There’s some truth to that.’

’Whether it’s Yin Xue or Lu Yan, both have personalities that are quite easy to get along with for Wizards.’
