Chapter 158 Master of the Six Towers 151
"holy magus, wo duoer has returned," said the middle-aged beautiful woman dressed in a lavish red mage robe, bowing deeply.
in the depths of a pitch-black cave, countless stalactites emitted a faint glow. on a platform within the expansive chamber, an old man with disheveled hair sat cross-legged.
the old man's eyes opened, his irises extremely cloudy and his pupils grayish-white, which was somewhat frightening.
"it seems the negotiations have failed," the old man spoke, his voice not sounding aged at all.
the female mage nodded slightly and respectfully said, "the chancellor of iridium star was extremely arrogant and rude, even threatening to destroy the six mage towers."
the old man closed his eyes again, his expression unchanged, and said, "i believe he has the capability to do so."
the woman, admiring the ordinary-looking but ethereally tempered old man, said with a look of reverence, "but holy magus, you too can destroy them."
the old man gently flicked his sleeve and started to float above the stone platform. this move had also been used by nan ma during a live broadcast previously. when the old man rose to the height of a man, he lowered his legs and landed on the ground, approaching as the female mage hurriedly bowed her head in salute.
"the appearance of the iridium star people in this world was unexpected. if they had come a hundred years later, i would have been able to wipe out their spaceship the moment it entered the planetary orbit. unfortunately, their timing was inopportune..." the old man said, his ancient impassive face showing a faint hint of regret.
"yet, we cannot let them destroy all that the six towers have achieved over a millennium," the old man sighed deeply.
the woman, sensing that the old man was about to take action, said excitedly, "yes, the iridium star people are detestable. they've come to our planet, wreaking havoc and blatantly killing our mages. hundreds of mages have already gone missing, likely captured by the iridium star people."
upon hearing this, the beautiful woman was horrified, even stepping back in fear, "are you planning to use the forbidden technique sealed by the six towers? if so, the elites of the six towers might be depleted, and we might not recover for a hundred years."
the elder's face was resolute as he turned around, raising both hands. suddenly, the stalactites throughout the cavern glowed brightly, and the stone platform transformed into something akin to a giant light bulb. a torrent of golden particles dispersed from the stone platform, filling the entire cavern.
the beautiful woman could feel the energy drifting all around the cavern, this fearsome power making her feel suffocated, fearing that even a misstep could lead to annihilation.
"just using the forbidden technique can only defeat a part of the iridium star forces, but the real threat is the chancellor of iridium star. ever since he arrived in infia, i have felt terrible fluctuations coming from there every day. the power that he harbors may indeed be of the same level as the one we have relentlessly pursued for a millennium."
the beautiful woman, already shaken, trembled and asked worriedly, "how can this be? can we defeat him?"
the elder finally showed a slight smile, which bore traces of pride and regret, and said, "the six towers have spent a thousand years trying to harness the entity existing at the core of this planet. although we have not yet fully mastered it, we can now utilize its power.
it is precisely through its power that i can sense, although this iridium star chancellor possesses power of the same level, he cannot fully control it, and the way he uses it differs. in explosive destruction, the entity at our planet's core has the upper hand!"
her surprise turned to joy, "is it 'magic eye'?"
the elder grinned, "throughout the generations, holy maguses and mage tower masters have given it many names, but it was not until my generation that i could glimpse its true form. it lies at the core of our planet, resembling a closed giant eye. it is because it constantly emits strong radiation that so many mages have been born on our planet. fundamentally speaking, it is the 'source of magic'."
the elder held a cluster of golden particles in his hand, letting it leap continually within his grasp, seemingly containing endless destructive power. as he stared at the golden particles, he said, "using the power of the magic eye might provoke an apocalyptic catastrophe on this planet, but if it allows us to eliminate the iridium star chancellor, it is all worth it.
without him, everything about iridium star will cease to exist! and if we can obtain the supernatural rank power he holds, the six towers might master the magic eye faster, and before us, no civilization in the universe would refuse to bow."
