Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

"Guardian Witch King!"

A powerful wizard flew over, cautiously taking a glance at the Nightmare Witch King, whose condition was evidently off and dared not approach, fearing the strange curse and Nightmare Principle emanating continuously from the Nightmare Witch King.

Thus, he circled halfway around to come before the Guardian Witch King, and inquired, "What should we do next? Should we send experts to pursue and kill those devil experts who escaped from the world?"

"Alas..."

The Guardian Witch King did not answer his question but turned around to look at the devastated Wizard World, unable to help but be overwhelmed by sorrow: "As a guardian, I failed to protect my own world and the tribes within it, causing the Wizard World to become like this, with even the Heart of the World severely damaged. How am I still qualified to be the Guardian Witch King?"

"Please do not say so, Lord Witch King!"

The Eternal Wizard quickly said, "If it weren't for you and the Nightmare Witch King fighting desperately, holding back the invaders from the Biluo Great World and the Seventh Monarch of Hell, the losses our Wizard World would have suffered might have been even more severe!"

"You need not say more!"

The Guardian Witch King shook his head: "Failing to repel the enemies is already my dereliction as a guardian. Letting the World Origin be hurt even more begs my ineffectiveness in protection. I will bear this fault myself!"

He raised a hand to stop the Eternal Wizard from speaking further, continuing, "Now that the Biluo experts have withdrawn, and although the Seventh Monarch of Hell has fallen, besides the dozen or so experts who escaped, some have not been killed and are still causing trouble within the realm. Additionally, many Hell Demon Gods are lurking in various places.

You need not allocate force to chase those who have already fled; even if you pursued them out, it would be difficult to catch up. Instead, team up with the Guardian Wizards to find and kill all the Hell Demons still hiding within the realm to prevent them from causing chaos!"

"... Yes, my lord!"

The Eternal Wizard opened his mouth, but in the end, did not voice the request to have the two Witch Kings quickly solve the other hell experts, nodding in agreement instead.

The Guardian Witch King glanced at the Nightmare Witch King and sighed, "Though your condition is poor at the moment, you can't directly return to the Nightmare Origin to seclude yourself and expel the evil curse on you. To prevent any incidents, you need to remain here in the realm for a few more days.

The Elemental Wizard King and others have already sensed the disturbances within the realm and are swiftly returning. Hold on a bit longer, lest the experts from the Biluo Great World haven't given up, or there are experts from other Great Worlds secretly spying, who may seize the chance to invade the Wizard World again when you and I are absent. Wait until the Elemental Wizard King and others return, and then find a way to expel the curse on you!"

The frail face of the Nightmare Witch King, as aged and withered as half-decayed tree bark, twitched slightly. The strange light in her pupil-less eyes flickered as she stared intently at the Guardian Witch King for a long while.

After a while, a hoarse, unpleasant sound came from her old, shriveled mouth: "Don't worry, I will release the aura of a Witch King to deter foreign invaders and surely not let the experts from the Biluo Great World invade again at this time."

"That's good!"

The Guardian Witch King nodded, again looked with a heavy heart at the wizard realm that had countless cities and buildings destroyed by successive battles, and then, containing all his emotions, walked away into the distance.

"Guardian Witch King, where are you going?"

The Eternal Wizard quickly asked.

The Nightmare Witch King was injured by the backlash from the Seventh Monarch of Hell before his death, but the Guardian Witch King was not damaged at all. Under the blessing of the World Will, if he wanted to act, his power as the strongest could easily help them finish the battle, killing all the hell experts still fleeing!

However, it was clear that the Guardian Witch King had no intention of joining the battle. Instead, he instructed the Nightmare Witch King to watch over the world with her severely injured body. Where was he going?

Could it be that he still wanted to pursue outside the realm to hunt down the powerful foes invading the Wizard World?

"I am going to atone for the mistakes I have committed!"

Though his voice was filled with endless sorrow, the Guardian Witch King's tone was calm, his face expressionless, leaving the Eternal Wizard unable to grasp what this Witch King was truly thinking.

Just as he was about to continue questioning, the Nightmare Witch King waved her dry hand to stop his words.

With her motion, the eerie, twisted colorful fluctuations around her spread out a few circles, causing the Eternal Wizard to involuntarily retreat a step.

"No need to ask!"

She said, "The Guardian Witch King... is going to guard the Heart of the World!"

"Guard the Heart of the World?!"

The Eternal Wizard was slightly startled, then nodded as if it were only natural.

Indeed, the Heart of the World was so severely damaged that it was still leaking Origin Qi by the time they left the Underground Space. It naturally required a strong figure like the Guardian Witch King to seal the damaged part of the Heart of the World.

Otherwise, if the Heart of the World were allowed to continuously lose Origin Power, although world energy would surge in the short term, over time, it would certainly accelerate the decline of the Wizard Great World, shortening the lifespan of the entire Great World, and causing the world to prematurely enter a stage of aging!

"That's right!"

The Nightmare Witch King, whether speaking to the Eternal Wizard or muttering to herself, said in an almost inaudible voice, "The Heart of the World is severely damaged and needs a strong guardian.

He is the Guardian of the Wizard World, and naturally, it is his responsibility to safeguard the world. He feels that this calamity is related to his failure to guard effectively, so he went to guard the Heart of the World, just like... the Ancestor of Wizards did in ancient times!"

Her words, too, were unusually calm, without the slightest fluctuation, as if she were stating something trivial and unrelated to herself.

Yet beneath that calm tone was endless sorrow!

Because after the ancient calamity, the Ancestor of Wizards ventured deep into the underground core space to guard the Heart of the World and never appeared again.

Until this time, when strong figures from Biluo and Hell invaded, and a Biluo Cultivator unexpectedly intruded, triggering the seal that the Ancestor of Wizards had placed on the Heart of the World, that they finally noticed and saw the true form of the Ancestor of Wizards and learned of his state!

Unfortunately, this eventually led to the battlefield being relocated to the space where the Heart of the World was located, inflicting even greater damage than the ancient calamity!

In fact, if the Heart of the World hadn't been damaged originally, even the Ghost Ancestor, no matter how powerful, wouldn't have been able to harm the intact Heart of the World while contending with the Guardian Witch King.

But unfortunately, the Heart of the World was already wounded by a formidable enemy in ancient times, giving the Ghost Ancestor an opportunity. Even the Eternal Realm experts from Biluo and Hell managed to take advantage of it and claim a share from the Heart of the World!

Beside her, the Eternal Wizard was stunned upon hearing the words of the Nightmare Witch King.

As a wizard renowned for wisdom, although their wisdom is usually applied to their own interests, at his Realm of power, how could he fail to understand the implications in the Nightmare Witch King's words?

However, what puzzled him was that after the ancient calamity, the Ancestor of Wizards, severely injured and nearly depleted of his Origin, forcibly suppressed the Heart of the World, resulting in mishap.

Yet the Guardian Witch King hadn't suffered severe injuries, and his current state was at its Peak, definitely considered a Strongest Expert. Why did the Nightmare Witch King imply that the Guardian Witch King would meet the same fate as the Ancestor of Wizards?

The Nightmare Witch King glanced at him, sighed softly, yet there was no desire to explain further.

She gently turned and headed towards a distant Wizard Tower. Despite being beset by curses, drastically reducing her power, she still emitted a formidable aura.

The powerful presence unique to the Witch King enveloped the entire Wizard World, even penetrated the Boundary Barrier, intimidating life forms outside the Realm. This made a few Hell Great Devils, who had just fled the Wizard World and hadn't gotten far, fear that the Witch King would personally chase them. Terrified, they spared no expense of their Origin Power to flee frantically into the depths of the Starry Sky!

However, among them, one fleeing Immortal Realm Hell Demon suddenly exuded a strange aura while flying, causing his entire body to shiver and come to a halt.

Because he felt an odd presence suddenly appear in his heart, as if a seed had taken root and sprouted there, drawing energy from his heart and growing rapidly. In mere moments, it had spread beyond his heart.

"No..."

He revealed an utterly terrified expression and desperately circulated his own power, attempting to suppress the anomaly within.

Yet he quickly discovered that his power not only failed to exert any suppressive effect but seemed to provide nourishment for the seed, rapidly strengthening it.

At the same time, he also felt an uncannily familiar presence within that power - it was... the aura of his master, the Seventh Monarch of Hell!

"No... Master, spare me, I am willing to escort Master back to Hell and seek a more powerful body for Master!"

He cried out in horror.

"There's no time for me to waste!"

A muffled voice from the Seventh Monarch of Hell emerged from his heart: "This defeat not only cost me most of my powerful subordinates, but even my main body was destroyed, depleting my Eternal Soul energy. If I return to Hell like this, I will surely be coveted by the other Great Monarchs.

They will inevitably covet our Power Principle and territory. If you take me back to Hell to slowly recover my strength, they will plunder everything from me before I can grow once more, leaving me with nothing!

Therefore, I can only seize every opportunity to quickly become strong, at least creating the illusion of being merely severely injured without showing signs of a Realm fall.

Only then can I, under the suppression of the First Monarch, deter other Great Monarchs from making a move against me and gain more time to recover my power.

As long as I restore the strength of the Great Monarch, even if they find out that I initially deceived them, it would already be too late!

Do you understand what I'm telling you?"

"I understand, I understand!"

This demon powerhouse hurriedly said: "I understand the master's concerns, but I'm utterly loyal to you, and now that most of the powerful subordinates have perished, why must I also go to my death?

Master wants to resurrect, but there is no need to kill a subordinate. Please spare me, so I can continue to serve you!"

"You still don't understand!"

The Seventh Monarch of Hell sighed deeply: "Since you are so loyal to me, then contribute once more to my safe return to Hell!

By devouring your Immortal Soul and all your power, I can temporarily disguise as if I still retain my Realm.

Only in this way can I hope to remain unharmed, so don't resist, let me absorb all the energy within your body!"

"No, no, no..."

This Great Devil felt more and more of his power drained, the alien heartbeat from his heart grew louder, and he could no longer bear the fear of death. He suddenly shouted and reached out with his demonic claws to grab at his heart fiercely.

He tried to tear out his own heart to expel the Seventh Monarch from his body.

Even if it meant offending the Seventh Monarch, he would rather not return to Hell; with his strength, he could go to the Demon Realm or struggle in the Abyss, which is far better than losing his life.

But before his sharp demon claws could touch his heart, his body froze!

Because when a peculiar energy exuded from his heart, countless bizarre Runes appeared on his body, transforming into prohibitions that imprisoned him, rendering him motionless. He could only feel with horror all his blood and energy frantically rushing towards the heart, and even his Immortal Soul being gradually devoured, until finally, his consciousness fell into darkness from endless fear and pain, losing all awareness!

With a soft squelch, two demon claws with sharp nails protruded from this demon powerhouse's chest, then forcefully tore aside, ripping through the demon powerhouse's body, a wet and ferocious head emerging from within!

Judging by its appearance, it was exactly the Seventh Monarch of Hell.

He crawled out from the demon powerhouse's body, looked at his own body, then at the energy-depleted devil remains, and frowned.

Currently, his newly born flesh was too frail, not merely because of his recent resurrection but also due to the disparity between the power of this demon and his own Realm, making this newly born physical body feel extremely uncomfortable to him, accustomed to his former powerful demon body.

Frowning slightly in contemplation, he waved his hand and shattered the remains nearby, erasing all traces here from the opponent, then emitted a soul fluctuation to summon a powerful subordinate to rendezvous with him!

Soon, a Hell Great Devil of Eternal Realm followed his call and flew over.

However, before he could joyfully celebrate his Great Lord's safe escape, after just a couple of complimentary remarks, the Seventh Monarch lightly patted him on the shoulder.

This Hell Great Devil of Eternal Realm thought his master was encouraging his loyalty, just about to continue with more flattery, when he suddenly found prohibitions arising within him, imprisoning him. Then, amid horror, astonishment, and unwillingness, his inner power was entirely drained by the Seventh Monarch!

Only at this point did the Seventh Monarch of Hell finally breathe a sigh of relief.

With the power of this Eternal Realm subordinate as a foundation, he finally had some confidence in his disguise, so he could truly summon all the subordinates who had fled to regroup and escorted him towards the Hell World!

.......

In the Wizard Great World, within the underground space where the Heart of the World resides, the boundary barrier of space trembled once more, opening a passage.

The figure of the Guardian Witch King appeared in the passage. With a complex gaze, he stepped through, entering this unique space once again.

Originally, even as the Guardian of the Wizard Great World, since he had become Guardian Witch King, he had never sensed the location of the space where the Heart of the World existed.

But now it's different. Not only did he easily detect the position of the Heart of the World, but it was also incredibly easy to break the barrier and step inside!

He found nothing amiss, only casting a complex gaze at the scene of utter devastation around him.

The gray ground littered with numerous broken limbs, fragmented bodies of powerful beings, and shattered divine artifacts!

The bodies belonged to both Wizards and Devils, and even some powerful Biluo Cultivators, though the remains of Biluo Cultivators were fewer, almost unnoticeable without careful searching.

After all, only two Golden Immortal Biluo Cultivators fell, both having their bodies exploded. Even if other sects' experts suffered severe injuries with severed limbs during the battle, they would rapidly retrieve or completely destroy them to avoid the curse-wielding Wizards from getting them.

The Guardian Witch King merely glanced at these tragic battlefield remnants and ceased to pay attention, instead turning his gaze towards the cracked Heart of the World.

Whether the corpses or other ruined divine artifacts, they would gradually turn into the most primal energy in this space, leaving nothing behind.

Since they died here, let them integrate with the Wizard Great World, perhaps even the fallen Wizard powerhouses would prefer this kind of funeral after their death.

As for the invading experts, let their remains provide some energy for the Wizard World, considered atonement!

The Guardian Witch King walked step by step over the dismembered bodies, full of sorrow, heading towards the Heart of the World.

As he approached, the fluctuation of his power grew stronger, his form becoming larger, and the Truth Wand in his hand transformed into a Sky-Reaching Giant Pillar, emanating endless Principle Fluctuation, suppressing it towards the cracked Heart of the World.

However, at this time, the damages of the Heart of the World were too many, far more serious than during the ancient cataclysm, making it extremely difficult for the Guardian Witch King to suppress even with the Truth Wand, the rank one Witch Artifact of the Wizard World.

Fortunately, the constant infusion from the vast World Will provided support, continuously poured into his body, elevating his power to the extreme. His mind held only one thought: even at the cost of his life, he must suppress the damage to the Heart of the World.

Under the mighty infusion of World Will, his strength reached almost the peak of the Strongest Expert, barely sealing all the cracks in the Heart of the World with the Truth Wand, preventing further Origin Qi leakage.

Even so, he dared not relax even a bit, for fear that any slack might shake the seal, causing the Heart of the World to leak Origin Qi again.

Thus, free of distraction, the Guardian Witch King fully devoted himself to guarding here, quietly leaning on the Truth Wand, resembling the former Ancestor of Wizards immensely.

The only difference was, the Ancestor of Wizards still retained a complete physical body. If not for encountering the Biluo Cultivators, first having his crucial heart taken by Qin Feng, then the Ghost Ancestor intervening midway, using his corpse for Corpse Refining and suppressing all his resurgent residual thoughts, the Ancestor of Wizards might truly have had a chance to resurrect!

Unfortunately now even the corpse had been seized by the Ghost Ancestor, all turning into nothingness!

But for the present Guardian Witch King, even though his body remained, he differed from the Ancestor of Wizards.

The Ancestor of Wizards suppressed the damages of the Heart of the World by his strength, whereas the Guardian Witch King barely accomplished this through the massive infusion of the World Will.

Moreover, during his cultivation, he overly relied on the World Will, even his advancement to Witch King was a forced promotion by the World Will, making him at this moment less a Guardian Witch King, more a vessel for the World Will.

Even now, his body, under the immense infusion of the World Will, began to harden, transforming towards a Stone Statue!

Once his body is entirely turned to stone, there will no longer be any possibility of revival, only serving eternally as a suppression in front of the Heart of the World!
