Chapter 511: Chapter 274: Divine Level·Lighthouse of All Laws

’This world really is very different from Earth.’

If two thousand years had passed on Earth, it’s hard to imagine what it would have developed into.

From the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties to the modern era, the changes would have been world-shaking.

But these people before me are clearly ancients from two thousand years ago.

Yet they don’t look all that different from people in the year 5026.

Judging from this, I get the feeling that this world’s rate of progress isn’t very fast.

Just then, Lu Cang looked toward a Mage in the distance.

’Magic he has mastered: Tier One magic Fireball at Level 3 Skill Proficiency, Thunder Strike Skill at Level 4 Skill Proficiency... Tier Two magic Thunder Bombing Skill at Level 5 Skill Proficiency, Tier Three magic Thunderstorm Circle at Level 7 Skill Proficiency, Tier Four Flesh and Blood Magic Blood Cocoon at Level 3 Skill Proficiency...’

This Mage only knew a total of ten spells.

Four were Tier One magic, two were Tier Two, three were Tier Three, and one was Tier Four.

He looked like a Thunder Mage.

But why did the last spell he learned suddenly turn out to be Flesh Magic?

’How strange.’

With a thought, Lu Cang activated Divine Level·Lighthouse of All Laws.

He felt a faint bit of light being stripped from the other person, flowing toward him.

SHWIIING—

After about ten seconds.

Lu Cang had obtained "Tier Four Flesh and Blood Magic—Blood Cocoon."

At that very moment, a look of terror appeared on the face of the Mage, who had been eating a grilled skewer.

He felt a sudden emptiness in his body.

He mentally checked the Magic he had mastered, only to suddenly realize... he had lost a spell.

He had lost "Tier Four Flesh and Blood Magic—Blood Cocoon."

Without any warning, he had forgotten how to cast this spell...

Magic is a manifestation of knowledge.

Just like Saint One, who possessed memories from a past life and the Mage Class, allowing him to cast Magic directly without needing to learn it.

As long as you remembered it, you could use it.

But now, he found that while he clearly remembered once possessing a certain spell...

...he couldn’t recall at all how to cast it.

Terrified, he became restless and uneasy.

He immediately paid his bill and left.

He needed to verify whether he had truly lost that spell.

Lu Cang’s gaze followed him. Lu Cang could see that the man was now missing one spell.

’Stealing a spell someone has already mastered...’

’So it’s really stealing, not copying.’

The difference between stealing and copying was night and day.

’In that case, I should be able to steal Root Magic too.’

Stealing someone’s Root Magic directly... just imagine how desperate a Mage would be after losing their Root Magic.

And what was even more terrifying...

...was that an ordinary person would never see the theft coming.

Just now, when Lu Cang was stealing his spell, the man showed no reaction at all for the entire ten-odd seconds.

It was only after Lu Cang had finished stealing it that he realized he’d lost a spell.

And even then, he didn’t detect Lu Cang’s presence.

During this process, Lu Cang’s Unsolvable Mystery was open to him; he hadn’t concealed his own existence.

If the man had been able to sense his presence...

...then Lu Cang would have been discovered.

’It seems the stealth of this Talent is top-notch. If I combine it with Unsolvable Mystery...’

’...then I can really steal anyone’s Magic without any restraint.’

With this Talent, he wouldn’t have to feel regret anymore when encountering enemies like Saint One, who had to be killed.

It was a pity he hadn’t had the chance to discuss things with him; a pity about his Root Magic.

Lu Cang’s figure vanished.

Now a Level 5 Mage, he felt the world was vast and he could go anywhere.

[Stolen Magic—Nine Lights Illusory Day (Tier Five)]

[Stolen Magic—Summon Master of Blood Red Lava (Tier Five)]

[Stolen Magic—Snow-Covered Cold Wave (Tier Five)]

...

One spell after another was stolen by him.

It felt a bit immoral. After all, a Mage’s years of arduous training to master a single spell were undone in just a dozen seconds.

’What a cruel method.’

’Still, I probably won’t need to steal people’s Magic in reality in the future. Stealing it in a Future Preview should work just the same.’

’But now that I have this Talent, there’s no way Iz can defeat me, right?’

Right now, he was the ultimate nemesis of Mages.

While stealing Magic, Lu Cang continuously changed his location.

During this time, Lu Cang kept wondering what exactly was supposed to happen here.

What kind of event could be described as a cause for the entire world’s regret?

He hadn’t found anything unusual along the way. By touching various places, he had gathered many subtle clues.

If he could find the source of this so-called "event that would make the world regret," he might not have to destroy the entire city.

Lu Cang also considered another possibility: an event that made the world regret didn’t necessarily have to be a major disaster caused by some evil entity.

It could also be that some world-shaking research was cut short.

Or that a genius who was meant to be born had fallen prematurely.

’If I really can’t find any clues... I’ll just destroy the whole city then.’

By now, Lu Cang had an idea.

He performed a Divination with his Destiny Revelation Card.

Lu Cang shuffled and drew from the Destiny Cards he had made himself, pulling out a few.

"A dark location, lonely, without light..."

He then looked toward Destiny itself, only to see a massive vortex of Fate converging.

In this chaotic month, the effectiveness of Divination would be greatly reduced, and there was a high probability of divining a chaotic result.

So, Lu Cang didn’t actually have high hopes for the outcome of the Divination.

Following the Divination, Lu Cang arrived before a gloomy castle.

The five kilometers surrounding the castle were all wasteland.

Inside the castle was a young member of the Blood Race.

The Blood Race cannot stand the daylight.

Under the sun, weaker members of the Blood Race would be quickly burned, even dying within a few short seconds.

Even powerful members of the Blood Race found it difficult to survive long in the sunlight.

In the case of the perpetual daylight phenomenon in June...

...an entire month of daylight would be the most agonizing time for the Blood Race.

’If the Divination result is correct, this should be the place.’

Within this castle, there was only a single member of the Blood Race.

He was at a Magic Potion Platform, tinkering with a Potion.

He appeared to be a Pharmacist.

Lu Cang didn’t approach directly. Instead, from outside the castle, he observed the man’s work with pharmaceuticals through walls that blocked Perception.

The Tier of this Potion must be very high.

As a Level 1 Alchemist, he couldn’t understand the other’s procedures at all.

Like a chemistry experiment, glass tubes of different lengths were connected to form various pharmaceutical apparatuses with different effects.

And on the different beakers and glass flasks, some special Magic Arrays were inscribed.

Lu Cang could discern the effects of the Magic Arrays.

Water Control, controlling the Flame’s temperature, creating Ice...

They were all very basic Arrays.

They allowed someone without the Mage Class to conveniently activate these magical effects.

After all, more advanced Magic couldn’t be activated by someone without the Mage Class.

Although he couldn’t tell what Potion the man was making, he could roughly see...

...that the work at hand was nearing its end.

But just then,

BOOM!

he suddenly felt a tyrannical aura descend!

Lu Cang abruptly looked up to find a man with golden eyes descending from the sky.

He made no effort to hide his power.

The moment he appeared, rolling thunder echoed across the heavens, and dark clouds began to blanket the entire sky!

His gaze swept down over the castle below.

Without a single word, he simply raised a hand, intending to obliterate the member of the Blood Race below!

’Tsk...’

’I think I know what’s about to happen now.’

Just as the majestic man in the sky raised his hand, Lu Cang raised his own right hand in turn.

VMMMM—

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Thousands of layers of Sealing Magic unfurled in an instant!

In a flash, they had trapped the man within!

BOOM!

But half a second later, an immense force suddenly blasted outward!

The thousands of layers of seals were shattered in an instant!

’The Seals are useless...’

’Are Seals really just made to be broken?’

’It seems this is a powerful enemy.’

Lu Cang’s aura surged, and in the brief second that passed, his physical strength had already increased tenfold.

Two hours had passed since he became a Reincarnator.

In those short two hours...

Lu Cang’s Constitution had long since reached the limit of a Level 5 Warrior, and he had already begun to push past that limit again and again.

Back when he was Level 4, his Constitution was already on par with a Level 7 Reincarnator.

’I wonder if my current Constitution can compare to a Level 8 Reincarnator?’

’If not...’

’...then what about increasing it a hundredfold, or a thousandfold?’

Lu Cang ascended, floating in the sky to face the man before him.

A Magic Shield, looking incredibly sturdy, wrapped around his body.

The Lu Cang of today could already use Tier Six Magic.

And every Tier Six Magic possessed the power to shake the heavens and earth.

"This... senior."

"Why are you attacking here? What heinous crime did he commit to deserve death?"

Though he said this, Lu Cang had no idea who the Pharmacist below was.

He was just stalling for time.

He was still in combat, and every second that passed meant an increase in his own strength.

"Are you an accomplice of this Blood Race member?"

Lu Cang replied, "I just have a kind heart and can’t bear to see senseless slaughter."

The man’s voice was low. "If you’re not with him, then get lost!"

"This is a personal grudge. It has nothing to do with you!"

Lu Cang chuckled. "Since the grudge is so clear, is there any reason it can’t be spoken of?"
