Chapter 16: The Lord of the Mysterious Mist's Initial Experiment!
Accompanied by the high-pitched, strangely rhythmic chanting of spells by the Minister of Magic and the Minister of Intelligence!
The powerful flow of Qi emanating from Feng Baobao, guided by Lu Xiaobai's staff, eventually flowed and poured into the edge of the vast area beneath their feet.
When Lu Xiaobai's arm, gripping the staff tightly, swung forward steadily once more—
hum!
A burst of dazzling colored light, almost blinding, suddenly erupted from all around the arena!
Then,
A colossal black magic circle appeared on the ground in an instant, as if it were alive!
The array was so complex it was chilling, with countless fine runes emitting a dark, eerie glow.
Like the most intricate circuit board, layers upon layers, intertwined and interlocked, form the foundation of this massive magic array.
Lu Xiaobai's staff did not stop; it moved again.
This time, even more dark runes exuding a cold and ominous aura appeared in the sky.
They were like living ink, precisely imprinted on the massive black magic circle.
It's as if a new, more complex structure is being rapidly built on the existing foundation!
"Death Mist Spirit Array!"
This magic circle, defined as a fifth-tier level by the [Demon Envoy Files], was once the trump card of the infamous black magic organization [Black Watson].
Back then, under the cover of dozens of low-cost black magic practitioners,
With the combined efforts of more than a dozen high-ranking dark mages...
Then it is personally controlled by their guild leader, the powerful black magic master Gonner.
This magic array shattered one of Lu Xiaobai's soul clones, and also seriously injured his main body and the other clone!
If it weren't for the countless [Elemental Mimicry] and [Alchemy Golems] risking their lives to protect their master,
The outcome of that great battle that shook the entire world of supernatural beings was truly unpredictable.
Unlike the prevailing preference for close-quarters combat in the domestic community of supernatural beings,
Magicians like Lu Xiaobai, or other truly powerful high-level mages and masters.
Their fighting style is purely a clash of magic and magic arrays!
A top-tier mage can play a far greater role on the battlefield than other types of "Outsiders" of the same level.
However, it is precisely because of their fanatical pursuit of magic and their lack of attention to their own life and fundamental cultivation that they have become so obsessed with magic.
This results in the vast majority of magicians having weak bodies and insufficient primal power, making it difficult for them to reach the true pinnacle of magic in their lifetime, and for them to remain at an ordinary level.
Now, at this very moment.
This terrifying magic array, which required the combined efforts of at least a dozen extraordinary individuals to cast, was actually constructed so easily, even instantly, by a boy who was not yet twenty years old!
If those arrogant, haughty Western aristocratic magicians saw this...
They'd probably pop their eyes out, and all they could say would be exclamations like "God!" and "This is impossible!"
However, the monsters that should have crawled out of the magic circle, such as skeletons, undead, and twisted tree spirits, did not appear.
Instead, a thick, impenetrable black mist filled the air.
Like a floodgate bursting open, it gushed out continuously from the magic circle, quickly filling the entire huge area surrounded by the glass dome!
This scene instantly reminded Zhang Chulan of the overwhelming black energy that covered the sky when Feng Zhenghao used the Spirit Binding Technique.
But the scale of this black mist and the terrifying power it contained were worlds apart from Feng Zhenghao's methods; they were not even on the same level!
After modifications and optimizations to the "Demon Envoy Files".
Lu Xiaobai has replaced all the summoning and transformation spells in the magic circle that require a massive amount of magic power to maintain with mystical spells that consume less magic power, are more flexible, and are more mysterious.
In his opinion,
Simply "summoning" countless amounts of "trash" is both a waste of magic and utterly unoriginal. Only higher-level, more unique "creations" are worthy of his status as a mage!
Under Lu Xiaobai's precise control of the magic staff,
The surging black mist instantly swallowed all the light in the arena, blurring the view.
Xu Si, Feng Baobao, and Zhang Chulan outside the glass enclosure.
At this moment, everyone involuntarily held their breath and widened their eyes, afraid of missing any of the changes that were about to happen.
"Basic framework complete! Ready to proceed with core 'debugging'!"
The intelligence minister reported loudly.
Lu Xiaobai, who was suspended in mid-air, nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
With a thought, he poured all his pure magic power, along with the seemingly inexhaustible Qi that Feng Baobao continuously output, into the strange gem at the top of the staff, which was constantly changing with turbid colored light!
Om-!
The staff suddenly trembled!
A far more terrifying and heavy energy fluctuation than before, like a real tsunami, suddenly spread out from the staff!
The pressure was so strong that even through the thick special glass, Zhang Chulan and Xu Si, who were outside the arena, felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests, making it difficult to breathe!
Zhang Chulan's heart trembled violently:
This feeling... is far more terrifying than the oppressive feeling I had when I was Chairman Feng Zhenghao!
It happened in the blink of an eye!
The thick black mist inside the arena seemed to be infused with a violent life force, and began to surge and rush wildly!
They no longer wander aimlessly.
Rather, it is under the precise control of some invisible will that it is consciously reorganized, arranged, combined, and condensed...
In just a few breaths, the scene that appeared before Xu Si and Zhang Chulan made their blood almost freeze!
Within the churning black mist, numerous mysterious creatures of various shapes and sizes suddenly appeared!
Some of them resembled the outlines of the rock giants that Lu Xiaobai had summoned in the World Society, but were even more ferocious;
Some resembled gigantic, sucker-covered octopus tentacles writhing in the mist;
Some resemble a viscous liquid that constantly wriggles and changes shape (similar to a slime in a novel).
Others present terrifying shapes of insects or wild beasts, yet possess an unnatural sense of distortion...
There are many different kinds of them, too numerous to list, but each one is at least three or four meters tall!
They appeared and disappeared in the black mist, merely by looking at those blurry yet enormous shadows.
An intense sense of fear, stemming from their very survival instincts and the urge to flee the place immediately, surged uncontrollably from the depths of Xu Si and Zhang Chulan's hearts!
fear?
Weird?
indescribable?
The two of them were completely at a loss for words to describe the scene before them.
Even Xu Si, who had witnessed Lu Xiaobai's many outrageous experiments, turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat.
"My goodness..." Xu Si swallowed hard, feeling his throat dry. He forced a smile, revealing an expression that was worse than crying.
"Now I completely understand why Chairman Zhao is so 'concerned' about Xiaobai..."
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling with lingering fear:
"This situation... If I were Chairman Zhao, I'd probably have to sleep with one eye open every night, lest I wake up one morning to find the headline 'City attacked by unknown creature!'"
Although it is unknown who exactly the "Chairman Zhao" Xu Si mentioned is,
But Zhang Chulan fully understood what he meant, nodding in empathy, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Lu Xiaobai, who possessed such power, were a member of the Quanxing Sect...
What kind of chaos would the entire world of supernatural beings descend into?
Although he felt he might be overthinking things, the nightmarish scene before him made it impossible for him not to imagine the worst.
This power, compared to those of these "ordinary" superhumans...
They feel like they're from completely different dimensions!
Zhang Chulan was speechless, only deeply shocked and slightly fearful.
