Just how different is a ring with three dragon heads from a ring with only one dragon head?
Yang Ling, in his uncertainty, was extremely cautious. He silently recited a Wizard Mantra as his massive Divine Knowledge transformed into a strand of web, silently seeping into the Dragon Head Ring before him. He worked slowly, exploring the mysteries of the ring and closely examining its interior structure.
The complicated symbols, Magical Spell Formations that were strung together, mysterious and obscure ripples of energy…
Compared to the ring that only had one dragon head, the interior structure of the ring with three dragon heads was much more complicated. There was a mass of complicated symbols that looked like tadpoles that had been shrunk by a million times, forming multiple mysterious images that combined to create several Magical Spell Formations. Even stranger, the symbols were all spinning continuously, and some were ever-changing, creating a three-dimensional symbolic space. The space was devouring the energy outside of the ring. Even the Divine Knowledge he introduced into the ring would be devoured if he was not careful!
“Tsk tsk, just what Magical Spell Formation is this, it’s powerful!”
After cautiously gaining a preliminary understanding of the situation within the ring, Yang Ling shook his head. If a ring that only had three dragon heads was already this complicated, Yang Ling could not imagine how complicated the ring with five dragon heads, or even the Nine-dragon Divine Ring was!
After taking a deep breath, Yang Ling emptied his mind, then continued to explore the secrets of the Dragon Head Ring. His Divine Knowledge plunged deeper into the ring, bit by bit, avoiding the black hole-like Magical Spell Formation that was devouring everything, as well as the symbols that were spinning around like a windmill… Sometime later, he finally found the bolt of Divine Knowledge left behind in the ring by its previous owner.
With blood as a price and my soul as support, Soul Control!
Everything was much easier now that he had successfully found the Divine Knowledge left behind by the previous owner. Yang Ling put a drop of his Blood Essence onto the ring and silently recited a Wizard Mantra, his massive web Mental Energy seeping into the Dragon Head Ring. Unless the original owner personally appeared before him, the bolt of Divine Knowledge left behind by the owner before he died would not be able to fight back against the Great Soul Wizard, even if the previous owner was a Third-level Divine Duty Expert. The Divine Knowledge in the ring quickly got dealt with by Yang Ling’s high-level Soul Tampering Technique.
Ding…
Following a crisp ring, the ring turned dull. The three originally ferocious dragon heads became fainter, then rapidly disappeared. Yang Ling had successfully dispelled the secrets behind the ring without destroying its interior structure, wiping off the Divine Knowledge of the previous owner and claiming the ring as his own. He then reforged the ring using his Soul Fire, then set up an Imprisonment Restriction and layered on a few Soul Restrictions, turning the ring into a Magical Divine Ring that could absorb the faith of the Great Wizard.
“Who should I give the second Magical Divine Ring to?” Yang Ling was silent in deliberation as he looked at the Magical Divine Ring in his hand.
Merely a ring that had one dragon head was enough to make Ophilia advance to become a Great Eight-winged Angel, greatly boosting the speed of her cultivation. It was clear what the benefits of the Magical Divine Ring were, and no one would be willing to give it a pass. Unfortunately, there were too many powerful Magical Beasts that needed to advance. There was the ferocious Dark Dragon King, powerful Giant Ape King, and Burning Fire Elf King that specialized in fire element magic… All of them were just one step away from the divine level!
“Forget it, I’ll hand this over to the Corpse Wizard King first!” After deliberating for a moment, Yang Ling quickly came to a decision. He entered the Wizard Pagoda’s Space and went before the Corpse Wizard King who was meditating.
“Sir, you’re looking for me?” The Corpse Wizard King opened his eyes after sensing Yang Ling’s aura, quickly standing up. He did not have many muscles on his body. If not for the long robe on his body, he would look like a weird skeleton.
“Rodriguez, how long have you followed me for?” Looking at the skinny Corpse Wizard King, seeing how haggard he was due to his intense training, Yang Ling suddenly remembered his heart-rending background and his pitiful daughter.
In the eyes of the others, the Corpse Wizard King seemed to be always smiling, humorous, and even a little perverted. Other than Yang Ling, who was his master, no one else knew the bitterness in his heart. No one else knew the reason as to why he was training this hard.
“Nearly two years!” The Corpse Wizard King smiled when he thought back to the scene when he met Yang Ling in the underground city for the first time. He then felt a tinge of pain in his heart when he remembered his daughter, whose soul was scattered throughout the Dimension of Death.
Even though he had tried his best in his cultivation and had obtained immense support and benefits from Yang Ling over these two years, he was still unable to break through to the divine level. He did not know when he could return to the Dimension of Death, nor when he could revive his pitiful daughter. In fact, he did not even know if there was any hope of his daughter’s revival. This was unless Yang Ling, his master who had abilities that were deep beyond comprehension, headed personally to the Dimension of Death to take action!
After all, his daughter had been dead for too long!
He had advanced from a mere Corpse Wizard to a Corpse Wizard King with much effort. After trying his best to return to the Tailun Continent through the Space Crack, his hometown had already changed drastically. He could not find his home of the past, nor could he find the corpse of his daughter. All that was left was his endless longing!
“Bess, my pitiful Bess!” the Corpse Wizard King muttered to himself, once again remembering his daughter who had died in his arms!
“Rodriguez, this is a Magical Divine Ring, introduce a drop of blood into the ring. Wear this ring. The Magical Beast Army is getting stronger and stronger, and I need a Magical Beast Commander who can hold his own. I hope that you will not disappoint me!” Seeing the Corpse Wizard King’s dejected expression, Yang Ling knew that he had once again thought about his pitiful daughter. He deliberated for a moment before saying, “After we are done with matters in the Graveyard of Deities and Demons, if possible, we can go take a walk around the Dimension of Death!”
A Magical Divine Ring? Take a walk around the Dimension of Death?
The Corpse Wizard King was elated, and he kneeled on the ground and groveled respectfully before Yang Ling, his eyes teary. Even though he had not been willing to give it too much thought, he knew that the hope of reviving his daughter even after he advanced to the divine level was slim. He had pinned his only hope onto Yang Ling, who was trained in the Law of Souls and had abilities deep beyond comprehension!
After personally witnessing Yang Ling revive Ashnamov’s wife, Sylvia, he knew that Yang Ling might be the only one in the countless dimensions that could help him. Even if powerful fighters like the Core Deities or Dimensional Guardians had the means to, it was not possible for him to enlist their help. His hope lay in Yang Ling, the person closest to him!
From that day on, he had been faithful, loyally following behind Yang Ling and trying his best in everything assigned to him. He was willing to pay any price in order to revive his daughter, even if it was his life!
“You are the captain of your own fate. Even if you cannot obtain something today, it does not mean that you will not be able to obtain it tomorrow. As long as you put in the effort, you will eventually be rewarded!” Yang Ling personally helped the teary-eyed Corpse Wizard King up, then said slowly, “Rodriguez, I have said this a long time ago. I cannot help everyone. I can’t save every person who is in trouble in the world. But in order to protect everyone that’s close to me, I am willing to do all I can. In my eyes, you, Sala, and the rest are not my followers, nor are you servants. You are all people that are the closest to me!”
“Being able to meet you, Lord, was the greatest blessing of my life!”
Rodriguez secretly wiped his red eyes, then bit open his index finger and dropped a drop of his blood onto the Magical Divine Ring before putting it onto his right middle finger. At this moment, he knew that his fate was completely intertwined with Yang Ling, even without the hypocritical promises or oaths. The Wizard Pagoda’s Space had become their shared homeland!
A Corpse Wizard King, a long-dead Corpse Wizard that should not exist in this dimension, had finally found his true land of belonging in the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. From this day on, the Corpse Wizard King would never stray from Yang Ling’s footsteps, no matter the terrible dangers and difficulties, or when faced with alluring temptations. He would defend the land beneath his feet.
Ding…
Following the crisp ring, mysterious symbols appeared on the Magical Divine Ring on the Corpse Wizard King’s fingers, hungrily devouring the ever-present faith in the Great Wizard within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. The Wish Power got converted into Soul Energy, swarming into the withered body of the Corpse Wizard King like the tide. A skeleton-like sculpture of the Corpse Wizard slowly appeared where the dragon head had originally been, getting clearer and clearer.
“Faith in the Great Wizard?”
The Corpse Wizard King felt the blessing reach his heart, instinctively sitting down onto the ground and meditating. He absorbed the massive amounts of Soul Energy swarming into his body through the Magical Divine Ring, the white fog released by the Wizard’s Pagoda, as well as the rich spiritual energy within the Wizard Pagoda’s Space at the same time, turning them into pure Magical Energy. Slowly, his body got enveloped by a thick layer of white fog. His withered skin become lush with color. It was as if he had undergone a huge transformation.
Boom…
A startling vortex of energy appeared in the air, drawing in magnificent energy. Thick smoke billowed, and from far away, it looked as though an underwater volcano had erupted, releasing spews of volcanic ash. It also looked like the mushroom cloud caused by a nuclear explosion, jarring to the sight!
Every Domain-level Expert will have to overcome a Divine Tribulation when they were advancing to the divine level. The unfathomable laws of the universe were everywhere!
“Tsk tsk, how powerful, what a terrifying Divine Tribulation. Just which stage is Rodriguez going to advance to?”
“A High-level Deity. As long as he can fuse with the divinity in his body, Rodriguez will definitely become a High-level Deity!”
“A Magical Divine Ring… look at the ring on Rodriguez’s finger. It’s no wonder that he advanced that quickly. So that’s the reason!”
…
The alarming changes to the surrounding quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the space. The Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, Burning Fire Elf King, and the rest of the group swarmed over to the area quickly, all of them immensely shocked and engaging in conversation.
Seeing the shining Magical Divine Ring with the carving of a Corpse Wizard on the Corpse Wizard King’s hand, then looking at Yang Ling who was by the side, the group quickly realized what was going on and became incredibly envious of the Corpse Wizard King. Even Hydra, who was already a Mid-level Deity, dreamt of obtaining the Magical Divine Ring that could absorb the faith of the Great Wizard!
