Chapter 18: Summoning the Wind

It took another two weeks to stabilize the situation. Nathan carries Mia on his shoulders and begins his journey to explore this devastating Hellish world.

The trip lasted for a month. Along the way, the two saw countless ruined buildings, bones piled into mountains, and a strong aura of mourning radiated throughout the world. In many places, resentment and tears even formed. Powerful ghosts often fly back and forth in the underworld, occasionally screaming heartbreaking sounds as if they just remembered some painful memory.

Traces of Great Emperor-level magical powers were widespread; there were giant ancient beast bones stretching hundreds of miles, and there were also small pieces of magical weapons that were destroyed to the point of no longer having any value. It appears that in the past, a mysterious force unleashed a terrible attack on the Underworld, leading to this tragic event. An entire world perished; even as powerful as Hansen Demon Lord, he was still lost, using resentment to preserve the forbidden land, waiting for one hundred forty-seven thousand years to find a successor to his religion.

What are you doing?

This month, I don't know how many times Mia witnessed Nathan waving his hand in the air and shouting the words "Summoning the Wind." I thought this was some terrible magical power, but in the end I only saw a weak gray smoke ejected, with absolutely no damage at all.

Nathan was breathing heavily; his face was fierce, and his eyes were full of blood.

I'm trying to replicate an amazing magical power; you don't know how powerful it is!

Mia frowned:

Restore magical powers? Do you believe you are the great emperor? How can anyone restore magical powers based solely on memory?

If Mia knew that Nathan had not seen this magical power with her own eyes but had read a description of it in a fairy tale series, she would have been startled and cursed him as crazy.

Summoning the Wind!

Summoning the Wind!

Summoning the Wind!

Summon the Goddamn Wind!

You, mother! The Great Heavenly Venerable, you are a fraud!

............

Another month passed, his hair was messy, and he finally gave up the ridiculous idea of replicating magical powers from fairy tales.

Is it possible that none of those stories are true?

He sat sadly, holding his head, feeling extremely depressed. Seeing that, Mia said:

How can fictional stories be real? I don't understand why you look so much like my father. He also dreamed of restoring Earth Below, Peerless and Solitary, to Orian, the great deity, through his legend and statue in the Levant Sea.

Does your father also have this thought?

Nathan was startled.

That's right! He said that if you believe in illusory things, you will have them, but if you don't believe, they will not exist. Instead of ignoring it, he chose to believe it was real. If it really wasn't real, he would find a way to create it!

If it's not real, then create it yourself!

Nathan was startled, as if struck by lightning. A moment later, he raised his face to the sky and laughed maniacally, causing Mia to panic.

What are you planning to do?

I want to summon the wind!

Nathan gritted his teeth and rushed straight towards a giant spinning tornado, emitting a destructive aura in the distance. Wherever this tornado went, countless rocks and ancient beast bones on the ground were sucked in, and in just a moment, they were crushed into chalk dust by the tornado.

After placing Mia in a safe position, he began to crouch and slowly crawl towards the tornado. Even though he was thousands of feet away, the aftershocks of the tornado still made his face tear, his whole body tremble, and he had to use all his strength to resist gravity. However, his wound quickly recovered. The constant process of tearing and recovering created an extremely strange scene.

The wind is thunder; where does it come from? What is it caused by? Understanding the wind will help us control it!

He tried to suppress the pain, constantly closing the distance with the tornado. The closer I got, the stronger the suction became, until the skin all over my body peeled off, revealing red flesh. Then I heard Mia scream:

Quickly step back. Your eternal life body is not yet immortal; if you come any closer, you will die!

Don't worry, you can endure it!

Even though he was in extreme pain, he still tried to focus on feeling the magic of this whirlwind.

You are a crazy person!

Mia was breathing heavily, no longer able to scream, helplessly watching Nathan constantly move toward that terrifying tornado. If he died today, it would be difficult for her to live anymore because she would lose her vitality supply.

What a terrible misfortune to meet you! Ah...

Suddenly, Mia saw that Nathan seemed to no longer be affected by gravity.

I saw him sitting cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his aura completely merged into the whirlwind.

The tornado was still screaming madly, but no longer moving. Even more surprising is his tendency to get closer to Nathan.

Mia did not know that, at this moment, he was falling into an extremely magical state, completely forgetting everything that existed in heaven and earth.

He only felt that he was originally a quiet space, and then, because his thoughts fluctuated, he turned into the wind and flew away.

He flew through heaven and earth, forgetting how long it took. Finally, when his spiritual wisdom was strong enough, he suddenly let out a long scream and turned into a black dragon several billion miles long, covering the whole sky and earth.

At the same time, in the real world, Nathan waved his hand; this time under his hand, it was no longer a chaotic cloud of gray gas but had turned into a black dragon several dozen feet long. Although the aura it emitted was weaker than the destructive tornado that covered Nathan, it was clearly of the same type.

How did he succeed? In the realm of Qi condensation, can you create a magical power?

Mia couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

Actually, Nathan is not entirely creative; he still relies on the story's description as the core, then refines it based on his own understanding.

However, this enlightenment did not end; it lasted for seven days. It was not until the black dragon in the sky was nearly a hundred feet long that Nathan slowly regained consciousness. The destructive tornado that was covering him also gradually diminished and dissipated, as if its mission had been completed.

Summoning the Wind! After all, we each have our own magical powers. In this world, there should be no contact with anyone.

Nathan smiled darkly, his expression filled with shamelessness, making Mia feel disgusted, completely disregarding the fact that she was planning to come to ask about his safety.

- Incorrect! Run quickly!

Despite the overwhelming joy, Nathan maintained his alertness. In those split seconds, his spine suddenly felt cold, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he felt like a ferocious wild beast was pouncing on him from behind. Nathan immediately hugged Mia without thinking or looking back, and he cast the Devil Knife to avoid it.

Sure enough, where he and Mia were standing, a giant snake tail suddenly appeared, thrusting straight upward.

What kind of ancient beast is this, and why is its aura as powerful as that of the Great Dao monk?

Nathan had felt the same pressure from the dozens of talismans that hit him when he was in the first secret realm. Now this pressure reappeared, no longer illusory and fleeting but extremely real. It was clear that the ancient beast was many times stronger than a regular Great Dao monk.

Feeling danger again, Nathan cast the Devil Knife and glided away. This time, he did not stop but performed five consecutive steps. The ground under his feet also exploded five times, and five snake tails emerged, including the first tail, for a total of six.

Mia changes color.

This is a six-tailed serpent! This ancient creature bears the bloodline of the Azure Dragon Snake!

All beasts, including ancient and demon beasts, originate from true spirits.

Azure Dragon Snake holds the thirteenth rank among the eighteen true spirits. The blood it transforms into is extremely poisonous to its body. If it encounters a strong opponent, it can shed its outer shell and temporarily increase its cultivation. It can either risk its life or flee.

Why did this six-tailed serpent appear on the ground? Could it be that my dragon-shaped magical powers woke it from its sleep, perceiving it as a natural enemy, prompting it to pursue it?

Nathan cried without tears. The reason is similar nine times out of ten. There exists a symbiotic and natural-enemy relationship between true spirits. The Azure Dragon Snake naturally faces off against the True Dragon. Later generations, whether they are ancient or demon beasts, will inherit this hatred from their ancestors.

The Six-Tailed Serpent was extremely huge. Its head came up from the ground to bite Nathan and Mia, but luckily it missed.

Oh my god, it chased me for three days, and it's still chasing me! Dear ancestors, please forgive me!

Nathan carried Mia and ran like crazy for three days and three nights, using Devil Dao so much that the miserable sea showed signs of withering and could not recover in time. However, that ancient beast appeared determined to eat him without dying!

I saved the magic talisman for Jack; do I have to use it today?

He asked Mia to prepare a talisman; in case he couldn't escape, he had to use it to kill the Six-Tailed Serpent. But once you use it, and if you happen to see Jack again, you really won't have any capital left to struggle.
