Rise of the Dark Witch

The bronze magic armor turned red under the high temperature.

Roja's body gave off an alluring smell of burning.

Under the high temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius, which exceeds the surface temperature of the sun, it is almost too strong to withstand the bronze throne.

Fortunately, the heat attack only lasted five minutes.

The next moment, the temperature dropped sharply.

One second it was a high temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius, and the next second it became an ultra-low temperature of more than minus 200 degrees Celsius.

At the ultra-low temperature of more than 200 degrees Celsius, even oxygen, nitrogen, helium... and other gases in the air condense into snowflakes and fall.

In the clear air where even the air condensed into ice, Roja felt that the blood in his body was about to freeze.

He relied on the defensive power of the bronze throne to resist the low temperature and hold on.

But the reason why he was able to hold on was not only the powerful defensive power of the Bronze God Throne, but also his strong physique.

If he hadn't upgraded his bloodline to level four in the Starfall Ancient Mine and greatly strengthened his physique, he might have been seriously injured by the dual attacks of extreme heat and extreme cold.

After finally surviving the low temperature, the flashing thunder struck him directly.

Electric current with a voltage of hundreds of millions of volts was rushing around Roja's body, making Roja's whole body numb.

After trying all elemental attacks such as wind, thunder, water, fire, etc.

"The third level of the assessment, mental defense." An invisible mental shock wave surged out of Groot, turning into a sharp blade and stabbing straight towards Roja's brain.

For others, mental attacks are much harder to defend against than physical and elemental attacks.

I don't know how many wizard apprentices have fallen to spiritual attacks.

but--

Facing Groot's mental attack, Roja didn't feel much at all.

Roja's spiritual power was already beyond ordinary people, and he had a bronze throne to help defend him. Groot's spiritual attack, which could be compared to the strongest third-level spiritual apprentice, was simply scratching Roja's itch.

After even passing the mental defense, we came to the final level of this assessment.

"The fourth level of the assessment, recovery speed."

Groot tapped Roja with his finger, and the bronze magic armor on Roja immediately shattered.

Roja quickly concentrated on restoring the bronze magic armor.

The bronze armor was broken and restored at the same time, and a dynamic balance was quickly formed.

After half an hour, Roja successfully passed the last level after consuming about 9,000 units of magic power.

"Wizard Roya, congratulations on passing the witchcraft advanced learning assessment."

Snap, snap, snap...

Groot clapped his hands emotionlessly, seemingly applauding Roya for successfully passing the exam.

But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Roja always felt that the other party was mocking him.

Roja rested for a while, and after his body recovered to some extent, he couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher Groot, what are the advanced courses for the Bronze God's Throne?"

The advanced course of the Origin Transformation is the Origin Transformation, where you learn how to transform into a guardian beast.

The three guardian beasts of the Dawn Deer, the True Knowledge Snake and the Phoenix have benefited Roja a lot.

What about the bronze throne?

Can you give him the same huge improvement as the guardian beast?

"The advanced course for the Bronze God's Throne is Armored Soul." Groot said.

"Kaihun?"

Roja murmured two words softly, but unfortunately he couldn't guess anything from these two words.

Could it be that the bronze magic armor has become self-aware?

The conscious magic armor sounds pretty cool.

"The Bronze God's defense is very comprehensive, including physical, elemental, spiritual... It can have all defenses except against time and space witchcraft."

"The bronze throne looks so perfect, and it has become the first choice of many wizard apprentices for their first witchcraft."

"But……"

Groot's voice was a little sad, "In the apprenticeship stage, it is a perfect defensive witchcraft bronze throne. As the level of cultivation increases, first-level wizards, second-level wizards, third-level wizards, fourth-level wizards..."

"The flaws will become more and more apparent."

"Comprehensive means mediocrity!"

"A bunch of third-rate defenses are not as good as a first-rate defense."

"But it is precisely because the defense of the Bronze God Throne is so comprehensive that it can possess the Armor Soul move!"

"The so-called armored soul is to sacrifice one's own flesh and blood, spirit, magic power, vitality... everything to the Bronze God's Throne, and perfectly integrate it with the Bronze God's Throne, so that the Bronze God's defense power will increase dramatically."

"Originally, the bronze throne's physical, elemental, spiritual... each defense can only be considered third-rate, but after becoming Armored Soul, all defenses can be compared to first-rate witchcraft. One witchcraft is equivalent to a complex of more than a dozen witchcraft! "

"It can be called the most powerful defensive witchcraft!"

As Roya listened, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Sacrifice everything you have to the bronze throne to form an armored soul?

Although it can increase the power of the Bronze God Throne, something is wrong, right?

"Teacher Groot, after you sacrifice yourself and completely merge with the bronze throne to form the armored soul, can you withdraw from it?" Roja raised his hand and asked.

"No." Wizard Groot shook his head.

"So after becoming the Armored Soul, can I continue to practice and become stronger?" Roja asked.

"After becoming the Armored Soul, your strength will be fixed, but the witchcraft and abilities you learned before will not completely disappear. They will become more powerful based on the original ones." Groot replied.

Then Roja asked a few questions.

Roja's face suddenly turned pale after receiving Groot's reply.

Armor Soul is very strong, very strong!

It can be called a composite powerful witchcraft formed by more than a dozen witchcrafts. It is definitely the strongest and most perfect defensive witchcraft!

Moreover, after becoming an armor soul, the witchcraft and bloodline that you have learned will not disappear, but will exist in a more powerful form.

It can be said that as long as you become a Kaihun, your strength can skyrocket dozens or hundreds of times.

The lifespan can also be greatly extended, and it is not a problem to survive in the form of armored soul for thousands of years at the first level.

With Luo Ya's current strength, even the second-level wizard may not be his opponent after becoming Armored Soul!

But the cost is equally huge.

The wizard who transformed into Kaihun will never be able to advance further in his cultivation realm.

Armored Soul is a path that a wizard will choose when he thinks that his strength has reached the end, and that no matter how hard he tries, he will not be able to go any further, and there is really no other way.

In every sense, Kaihun is a god-level witchcraft.

Not to mention the powerful defensive power, the mere fact that it can extend life is enough to make countless wizards flock to it.

How many wizards are struggling crazily when their lifespan is about to end?

How many wizards are unable to break through the lifespan limit despite all their efforts?

And as long as they become Armored Soul, a first-level wizard can live for thousands of years!

But according to Wizard Groot, Armored Soul is not that easy to master.

After completing the advanced course, you still need to continuously use flesh, blood, spirit and magic power to feed the Bronze God Throne to increase the connection between the Bronze God Throne and itself.

Even if many wizards reach the second level and have been fed the bronze throne for hundreds of years, the probability of transforming into armored souls is still less than 5%.

So even though Armored Soul has so many advantages, few formal wizards who want to extend their lifespan are still willing to consider it.

But Luo Ya is very fond of Kaihun——

dislike!

The advanced ability of the Origin Transformation, the Life Origin Transformation, can obtain the Guardian Beast, making Roja exclaim as an eternal god.

Armored Soul, the advanced ability of the Bronze God Throne?

It’s just a thing to imprison yourself!

If given a choice, Roja will always——

"When one day my cultivation realm reaches its end, I have to choose even if I don't want to, right?"

"Judging from the talent I have shown now, it is not difficult to reach the first level. It is no problem to enter the second level without falling halfway. But what about the third level? What about the fourth level?"

"It's a hurdle from a wizard apprentice to a first-level wizard."

"It's a hurdle between a second-level wizard and a third-level wizard."

"It's another hurdle from a fourth-level wizard to a fifth-level wizard."

"It's not that difficult to go from a false god to a true god!"

"How many amazing and talented wizards are stuck in the fourth level, unable to break through until their death? Many of them are students of seventh-level wizards."

"When one day I am stuck in the fourth level and my lifespan is approaching..."

"It's time for me to make a decision, right?"

In Roja's view, the Armored Soul of the Bronze God Throne is more like a trump card.

A trump card that will only be chosen after reaching a desperate situation.

Compared to those wizards who don't even have a trump card in a desperate situation, shouldn't he feel lucky to have the armor soul as a trump card?

Roya has a complicated heart.

"Now that I have chosen the witchcraft of the Bronze God's Throne, there is no turning back." After Roja calmed down, he asked: "Teacher Groot, when can we start the formal training of Armored Soul?"

Next, Teacher Groot began to explain the key points of Armor Soul's training to Roja.

The original Bronze God's Throne was condensed with magic power. The cultivation of the Armor Soul required the fusion of a variety of materials to transform the Bronze God's Throne from an incorporeal magic armor into a real armor connected with flesh and blood.

At that time, the Bronze God's Throne will become something similar to a companion magic weapon, and its defense will be greatly increased on the original basis.

After teaching all the knowledge about Armor Soul, Groot took out a variety of fusion materials and placed them in front of Roja.

"There are seven types of fusion materials. The first three correspond to flesh and blood, magic power, and spirit. Only when you successfully fuse these three materials can the bronze throne become an entity and become a part of your body."

"So you need to fuse at least three materials to learn the armor soul."

"The three fusion materials at the back represent power, self-healing and perception."

"You should know that in addition to defense, the bronze throne also has the effect of enhancing strength, self-healing and perception to a certain extent. However, the effect is too weak and cannot even compare with ordinary magic skills."

"However, if you can successfully fuse the last three materials, the Bronze God's improvement in strength, self-healing and perception will not be much weaker than the improvement in defense."

"It's just that with each additional material that is fused, the difficulty will increase several times."

"I could only integrate the fifth material back then."

"As for the seventh fusion material..."

"It has to do with the speed of cultivation."

"After fusing the seventh material, the bronze throne can assist you in your practice and increase your practice speed."

Looking at Roya, whose eyes were shining brightly, Groot patted his shoulder heavily, "In the thirty million years since I became a witchcraft instructor, I have taught hundreds of millions of wizards, who can surpass me, the Bronze God Throne." Of the creators, there are only twenty-three who have successfully integrated the six materials.”

"There is no one who can combine the seven materials."

"Can you be the only one?"

Roja didn't expect Groot to be the creator of the witchcraft called the Bronze Throne.

What's more, I didn't expect that Groot has been a wizard and has been working in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons for 30 million years.

How many wizards has Groot taught over the past 30 million years?

You must know that what is in front of Roja is just a clone of Groot.

The witchcraft teaching room that Roja is in is just one of the hundreds of millions of bronze throne witchcraft teaching rooms in the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

At this moment, Groot must still be teaching many wizards to learn Armor Soul in other places.

However, among the hundreds of millions of wizards who have studied Armor Soul, only twenty-three people have successfully integrated the six materials in the past three years and thousands of years? Is there even one that integrates the seventh material?

One word——

Disaster!

At first, Roja felt that he would be able to successfully combine the seven materials.

He also thought that after he fused the seven materials, maybe Groot would take out the hidden eighth and ninth materials and fuse them for him.

Now Roja doesn't even have confidence that he can fuse six materials.

"As many types as you can combine."

Roja combined the first material according to the Groot teaching technique "Armor Soul".

Roja's trial fell on the fusion material representing flesh and blood, which was a mass of flesh and blood that was constantly squirming.

As Roya ran the skill "Armor Soul", the mass of flesh and blood flew towards Roya under the tug of an invisible force, and slowly merged with the bronze magic armor Roja was wearing.

Roja did not use the Dual Soul Certificate to assist in his cultivation. He wanted to know how far he could go on his own.

Under the practice that seems long but is actually short.

The first fusion material representing this flesh and blood, the fusion was successful!

Feeling the feeling of flesh and blood coming from the bronze magic armor, Roja smiled slightly.

He began to fuse the second material with the third material.

Because Roja's attainment of the Bronze God's Throne is far above that of ordinary wizards, his understanding of the "Armor Soul" technique was analyzed with the help of the Two Souls Evidence, and he was still above the mentor Groot, the practice was very successful. .

Luo Ya, who successfully integrated the three materials, has successfully learned the armor soul!

Feeling that the bronze magic armor was integrated with his body and spirit, as if it were part of his body, Roja knew that in the future he only needed to keep feeding the bronze magic armor, and when he reached a desperate situation, he could sacrifice himself and the bronze magic armor. Fusion, transformed into an extremely powerful armored soul.

However, Roja would not be satisfied with only integrating three materials.

His eyes fell on the material that represented power.

As soon as the fusion started, Roja immediately felt something bad.

It is obviously only the fourth material, but the difficulty has increased several times compared to the third material!

For those wizards who already have difficulty fusing three materials, fusing a fourth material will undoubtedly fail.

Fortunately, Roja still had some energy left in front of him. Although it was difficult to integrate the fourth material, he still succeeded without any danger.

"Boom!"

Roja clenched his fist.

Feeling the power exceeding two million kilograms in the body, "Has the strength increased five times from five hundred thousand kilograms to two million kilograms?"

Many witchcraft can increase power dozens of times, but the increased power is short-lived and the consumption is huge.

The five times the power brought by the bronze throne is permanent and consumes almost nothing.

A type of temporary boost.

A resident type with no consumption.

There is no difference between the two.

Roja, who successfully fused the four armor soul materials, looked a little sad.

"Is this my limit?"

"Without relying on the evidence of two souls, can I only go this far?"

"Actually, it can't be said that we don't rely on the evidence of two souls. Didn't I use the evidence of two souls to analyze Kaihun's cultivation technique?"

"Without the analysis of the dual soul evidence, I wouldn't even be able to successfully fuse the fourth armor soul material."

"Next..."

"Proof of Two Souls!"

With the assistance of the Dual Soul Certificate, Roja began to fuse the fifth armor soul material.

After success, go to the sixth armor soul material.

Then, Roya felt tremendous pressure.

Even the certificate of dual souls cannot allow him to successfully fuse the sixth armor soul material!

The proof of two souls is not omnipotent, and it also has limits.

The Certificate of Two Souls can increase his success rate in learning witchcraft. To put it bluntly, it can only bring out the theoretical upper limit of his body.

Most people in this world are unable to reach their theoretical upper limit, even fourth-level wizards are no exception.

But even if we can reach the theoretical upper limit, we still can't do it if we should!

Roja's physique, qualifications, and talents do not allow him to fuse the sixth armor soul material!

"Is this my true limit?"

"Is it over yet?"

When Roja gritted his teeth and made his final struggle, a small sun flew out of him.

It’s a twelve-star compass!

The twelve-star compass emitting dazzling sunlight was suspended above Roja's head like a small sun.

With the help of the twelve-star compass, Roja actually surpassed the limit and successfully integrated the sixth armor soul material.

"call--"

After it was over, Roja let out a long breath of exhaustion.

It's so hard.

If it weren't for the help of the last twelve-star compass, he would definitely have failed.

He raised his head and stared at the little sun above his head, "The Twelve Star Compass is indeed a treasure used by Sejie to perfect the bloodline of the stars. Increasing the speed of cultivation is just one of its many inconspicuous abilities."

"Too bad it's not mine."

After thinking for a while, Roja took out all the star satellite gems on his body.

Originally, the task Sejie gave him was to fill the twelve constellation gems on the twelve-star compass with the power of the stars.

With the twelve-star compass filled with the power of the stars, Roja's mission has been completed.

But after the Twelve Star Compass showed its powerful auxiliary ability that could help him practice "Armor Soul", Luo Ya felt that the Twelve Star Compass should be strengthened again.

Use the Star Guard Gem, which contains the power of the Star Soul and is obtained by the Star Palace Guards who have sealed the Lord-level monsters, to allow the fourth-level bloodline to break through to the fifth-level bloodline, on the twelve-star compass.

Anyway, he already has two Star God Souls, which are as good as the forty-eight Star Satellite Gems.

After absorbing the forty-eight satellite gems, a faint pattern appeared deep in the twelve constellation gems inlaid on the twelve-star compass.

At this time, the sunlight emitted by the twelve-star compass became even more dazzling.

The Twelve Star Compass, which originally could only increase the cultivation speed twelve times, can now actually increase the cultivation speed thirty-six times!

Moreover, Luo Ya was surprised to find that practicing with the Twelve Star Compass had a similar effect to that of the Pure Abyss Breaking Demon Crystal.

In other words——

It allows the wizard apprentice to break through the upper limit of magic power!

Moreover, the Pure Abyss Breaking Magic Crystal only works on mixed-blood wizards, while the Twelve-Star Compass can work on pure-blood wizards!

"It's a pity that my magic power has already reached the upper limit of my bloodline, and it is impossible to continue to increase it."

"But I feel that the limit of the Twelve Star Compass is not only this. If it can absorb the souls of twelve star gods, the Twelve Star Compass can be further enhanced."

"Maybe it can help wizards improve their bloodline level?"

"Unfortunately, it is too difficult to raise all twelve Star God Souls."

The recovery of the Star God's Soul takes time, and the recovery time will increase with the number of times it is taken away.

In every Starfall Trial in the past, every Star Temple contained the Soul of the Star God.

Slowly, as the time for the Star God's soul to condense increases, it will take hundreds of years for the Star Soul Palace to condense a Star God's soul.

Maybe this time will increase to hundreds of years in the future? For thousands of years? Forever?

Roja looked at the twelve-star compass floating above his head like a small sun, and felt a little regretful.

"It's a pity that I can't see your complete body..."

"Perhaps life is full of regrets like this."

Luo Ya didn't want to have such regrets in the training of "Armor Soul", so——

Roja gritted his teeth and took out a Star God's Soul.

He obtained the three star souls of Taurus Star Soul, Lion Star Soul and Libra Star Soul from the ancient Xingyun Mine.

The Taurus Star Soul was sold to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave in exchange for a top-quality magic crystal. Now he still has two star souls, the Lion Star Soul and the Libra Star Soul.

In order to increase the fusion probability of the seventh material of "Armor Soul", Roja plans to use the Lion Star Soul to strengthen the twelve-star compass again.

Roja glanced at the Lion Star Soul in his hand heartbrokenly, "Don't let me down."

He let out a long sigh and threw the lion star soul towards the twelve-star compass.

After absorbing the soul of the Lion Star, the constellation gem corresponding to Leo in the twelve-star compass suddenly burst out with dazzling brilliance.

A golden lion jumped out of the constellation gem and roared loudly in mid-air.

Feeling that the power of the twelve-star compass had doubled from the previous one, Roja showed a smile of relief.

"let's start."

Roja completely threw aside the success rate, and now he just put all his thoughts into fusing the seventh armor soul material.

Roja's expression kept changing.

The bronze magic armor on his body was full of cracks, and red blood overflowed from the cracks, and his spiritual power drifted away from the cracks.

Fusion of the seventh armor soul material was not only difficult, but also caused great harm to Roja's body and spirit.

Once the fusion fails, his body may explode and his mental space may be shattered, but he still has no intention of stopping.
