Chapter 625: Rebirth

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yang Ling had passed the Lightning God Tribulation that was hailed as the most terrifying tribulation within the countless dimensions. Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth had passed the Burning Fire God Tribulation as if she were a phoenix rising from the ashes. Just what kind of tribulation would the Corpse Wizard King, who had specialized in the Law of Death and undead magic, attract?

The group watched on with bated breaths, anxiously waiting for the appearance of the Divine Tribulation!

Boom...

The vortex of energy in the air became massive, as if it were a mushroom cloud. It released an ocean of energy ripples that was accompanied by boundless pressure. Soon, the terrifying weather phenomenon had caused a flurry of activity amongst the creatures in the primordial forest. Thumb-sized ants formed groups and crawled out of their nests, palm-sized Black Water Fish jumped out of the surface of the water, and massive rhinos charged forward without stopping...

Trouble was brewing. A violent ripple of energy hung in the air. Animals of various sizes instinctively sensed an unprecedented threat!

Seeing that the weather phenomenon was getting more and more terrifying, the Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and the rest of the group who were watching the event unfold became more nervous. However, the Corpse Wizard King, who was in the center of all the action, seemed to be oblivious to his surroundings, hungrily absorbing the energy coursing into his body through the Magical Divine Ring. The withered wrinkles on his face disappeared, his skin getting rosier. His skin had gotten more supple, worlds apart from the withered, skeleton-like appearance he had in the past!

“Be careful, everyone. Retreat, all of you, as far as you can!” Yang Ling had a grave expression when he saw the terrifying amounts of energy gathered in the air, ordering the group to quickly retreat. His right hand stroked the Battle Soul Blade on his back instinctively.

The Divine Tribulation was something everyone had to go through when they were advancing to the divine level. The power of the laws of the universe was unparalleled. No one could avoid nor easily run from it. If they succeeded in passing the tribulation, they would have broken through the barrier toward the divine level. If they failed, they might have their souls shattered and their bodies reduced to ash! Someone stepping forward to help might attract an even more terrifying Divine Tribulation, making the situation worse than it already was!

“Could it be that there’s an invisible hand controlling the Divine Tribulations?”

Looking at the unfathomable laws of the universe, Yang Ling had a thought. He tossed this unrealistic idea to the side after shaking his head, leading the group in retreating to the side. As a precaution, Yang Ling set up an Imprisonment Restriction near the area in case the Divine Tribulation got too powerful to contain.

Hng...

After a piercing sound rumbled through the air, the Divine Tribulation finally descended under the nervous gaze of the group. There were no earth-shaking strikes of lightning, no jarring electricity, no flames that could melt even the surface of the ground...

All they saw was a ball of dark fog descended from the sky. It was so dark that one could not see their fingers in front of them, and it enveloped the entire body of the Corpse Wizard King. A fleeting sound followed. It felt as though someone was muttering softly, but upon listening closely, it also sounded as though someone was frantically shouting from far away. Their consciousness then became hazy. Following that, Yang Ling suddenly felt as though he had returned to his childhood in his memories.

The winding mountain road, evergreen shrubs, blocks of farmland, as well as the songs and whispers of the villagers...

In that instant, Yang Ling felt as though he had returned to the happy days he had spent in the village, back to his ignorant teenage years. He dreamt of himself running on the mountain road barefoot while waving a bamboo pole, passing through the winding road and sunken valleys. He was like a happy little bird running toward his mother, who was calling for him from the foot of the mountain!

The brown mud stuck on the bottom of his foot, the earthy scent of soil being flipped under his feet, the clear stream with water not even reaching his knees, as well as the strands of white hair interspersed within his mother’s head of black hair... All of these scenes were clearly presented before him!

“Bess, my Bess...”

“Ah... This is not fair, this is not fair!”

...

A few pathetic cries suddenly came from within the thick black fog, jolting Yang Ling, who had been dreaming about his hometown, up. Looking over after shaking his head, he realized that there was something wrong with the Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and the rest of the group by his side. It was as if they had been possessed. Some of them had tears flowing down their faces, some were furious, and some were even dancing on the spot like a lunatic!

“Illusions, what terrifying illusions!”

Yang Ling acted decisively, taking out the Great Wizard Altar without hesitation. He flew onto the altar, then sat down after biting open his index finger. He formed a Wizard Seal, trying his best to cast the Soul Wizard Technique specially created to counter illusions — Soul Shudder!

The ancient times were fraught with many evil demons and wicked techniques. Some of them were incredibly powerful, while others focused on terrifying temptations and were able to cause one to lose their sense of self and consciousness even without them noticing. Some tribes were massacred in the span of a night because of these techniques!

In order to deal with the temptations of these wicked creatures and in order to defend their tribes, the Wizards had searched for solutions over the generations and created the Soul Shudder Wizard Technique. They made use of a Wizard’s Blood Essence and powerful Soul Energy, coupled with the incantations of their ancestors to shake and awaken the lost souls of their tribesmen.

A thick Crystal Mist enveloped the group, blocking off the eerie black fog. The fervent incantations rang out directly within the brains of the people, passing through tall mountains and vast forests as it spread out. A bleak feeling instantly filled every corner of the Wizard’s Pagoda’s Space, shaking the souls of everyone within. Sincere devotees groveled on the ground, placing their right hands on their chests as they prayed toward the direction of the Wizard’s Pagoda.

At this moment, they were truly experiencing the strength of the Great Wizard. They were sensing the Great Soul Wizard’s summons! The feeling of familiarity made them feel as though they had encountered their closest relatives, and the bleak incantations shook their souls time and time again!

When they raised their heads again after groveling on the ground, they were already in tears!

Buzz...

The mass of Wish Power coming from all directions swarmed into Yang Ling’s body like the tide, causing the Crystal Mist to expand, colliding fiercely with the black fog that had descended due to the laws of the universe. After a piercing sound rumbled past, the Dark Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and the rest of the group woke up from their illusion, while Yang Ling, who was on the Great Wizard Altar, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. Following that, the Nine-dragon Divine Ring on his finger once again released nine giant dragons, roaring as they took to the skies and directly collided with the mushroom, cloud-like energy vortex in the air.

Boom...

Following a loud boom, a string of explosions sounded out from the sky, and an intense wave of air assaulted the entire Wizard Pagoda’s Space. The nine giant dragons had disappeared, as had the mushroom cloud-like vortex of energy. All that was left in the air was an inhuman roar that felt as though it had come from an indignant ferocious beast!

The mysterious black fog scattered and revealed a corroded piece of earth. It was as if an acidic stream had just flowed through the area. The Corpse Wizard King was lying motionless on the ground, his black robe long disappeared. His body was charred, his muscles almost fully-corroded. He laid on the ground like a skeleton.

“Rodriguez...”

Seeing the Corpse Wizard King, his life and death unknown, the Dark Dragon King cried out in shock. However, just as he was about to charge forward, he got held back by the experienced Hydra, “Don’t rush it, the law of the universe has not completely passed yet, don’t spoil things for Rodriguez!”

Whoosh...

Hydra had not finished her sentence when a column of incandescent white light descended from the sky, enveloping the skeleton-like Corpse Wizard King. It released a majestic ripple of energy. Bathed by the silver light, the injuries of the Corpse Wizard King healed rapidly, once again having a rosy skin. His faint heartbeats became more and more forceful, and his Soul Ripples stabilized. Slowly, the Corpse Wizard King had turned from a withered Corpse Wizard to a handsome teen.

He was suave and handsome as if he was a modern-day Pan An! His azure blue eyes were deep and soulful, giving people the impression that he was wise beyond his years and unfathomable. His sharp facial features and high nose bridge made him look slightly sinister.

He had been renewed and revived!

With Yang Ling’s help, the Corpse Wizard King had finally passed the terrifying Divine Tribulation and became a Divine-level Corpse Wizard King!

“Thank you, Lord!” After helping himself up, the Corpse Wizard King walked quickly toward the group and respectfully groveled in front of the Great Wizard Altar where Yang Ling was at. Even though he had been unable to move after going through the Divine Tribulation, he knew in his heart exactly what had happened. He knew that his soul would have been shattered had Yang Ling not saved him at the risk of his own life at the crucial moment.

“Tsk tsk, not bad. Rodriguez, with this face, you’ll have an easier time if you are going to seduce a noble lady in the future!” Seeing the gigolo-like face of the Corpse Wizard King after he was reborn, Yang Ling laughed, speaking as he flew onto the ground, waving his hand to keep the Great Wizard Altar.

“Hng, Lord, this...” Stroking his fair, tender chin without an inch of hair, the Corpse Wizard King smiled awkwardly. Even though he had long prepared for this, he would never have expected to transform into a young handsome man after successfully passing the tribulation!

“Hehe, you’ll have no problems having them pay for all your expenses, much less seduce them!”

“That’s right, what a pity for our Corpse Wizard, he’ll have to practice the Law of the Bed on the beds of the noblewomen in the future!”

“Practicing two laws, that would be great, hehehe!”

...

The group surrounded the Corpse Wizard King with evil intent, full of comments about the newly-reborn Corpse Wizard King. In fact, they even extended their hands to pinch his fair, white skin, wanting to see if he was a fake. Cold sweat sprang out of the newly-evolved Corpse Wizard King in his disgust.

“Heavens, earth... Molest...” After feeling pain on his butt and realizing that the nine-headed beauty Hydra had silently pinched it, the Corpse Wizard King could no longer hold it in. He wanted to cry, but had no way of escaping the group’s embattlement!

Subordinates would follow the examples set by the superiors. If even the boss Yang Ling was idly watching by the side, there was no way that the Corpse Wizard King could air his grievances! If he did not sneak out soon, he might lose his virginity after his advancement!
