Elf Lord, intelligence updated daily.

Chapter 128 The Second Divine Essence, Another Advancement!
Before participating in the Magic and Martial Arts Tournament, Loren inquired about the Lost Lands from the Magic Guild.

It is said that a battle of gods took place here.

When the old god fell, his land was exiled with him.

The divine body dissipated, transforming into boundless spiritual energy, which nurtured countless powerful demonic creatures and numerous spiritual artifacts.

In addition, as the site of an ancient god, it also contains many magical secrets.

Unfortunately, many of the secret techniques were incomplete and could not be practiced.

Loren's goal is divine essence.

The other treasures can only be obtained after acquiring the divine essence, or incidentally while passing by.

[Today's information has been updated]

[Intelligence 1]: You are exploring the southern part of the Lost Lands. A divine essence is hidden in the abandoned ruins in the central area of ​​the Lost Lands.

[Intelligence 2]: You are exploring the Lost Land. There is a burning gem hidden 6,000 meters to the north. A mantis monster lives near the burning gem.

[Intelligence 3]: You are exploring the Lost Lands...

The intelligence report mentions a lot of information about the treasures in the Lost Lands.

Apart from the first two pieces of intelligence, the rest are not needed for the time being.

The Divine Essence is located in the central region of the Lost Lands, which is north of Loren's current location.

If you're lucky enough, you might also get the Burning Gem.

Loren led Xuefu and Hela forward, while Bai Xi remained hidden in the shadows.

This was Xuefu's first time participating in an adventure with Loren, and she was quite excited.

Although I usually stay in Shashi Town to work and cultivate.

But she also has an adventurous spirit.

Heading north, the wind and sand raged along the way, and occasionally you might encounter one or two strange-looking monsters.

Loren generally ignores these monsters unless they attack him first.

Time was of the essence; he had to get to the central area as soon as possible.

Not long after, Loren saw a ruin.

The ruins were dilapidated, with many broken stone tablets around them.

According to intelligence information.

The Burning Gem is located in a dark chamber beneath the ruins.

"Bai Xi, can you sense what's happening beneath the ruins?"

"Yes, I have found the secret room that the master mentioned."

When Bai Xi arrived at the ruins, she had already completed her exploration.

She did not rush into the dark room, but stayed there to await Loren's instructions.

"There is a gem hidden in the dark room. Go and retrieve it."

"Yes."

Bai Xi's figure disappeared.

Not long after, she returned to Loren's side with the Burning Gem.

"No accidents happened, right?"

"We encountered a female praying mantis along the way, but Bai Xi has already dealt with it."

Loren glanced at Bai Xi's perfectly wrinkle-free dress and felt quite moved.

The monsters in the Lost Lands are very strong, especially the closer you get to the center, the stronger they become.

Judging from the monsters they encountered before, the mantis monster's strength might be at the level of a Sky Knight, yet Bai Xi was able to resolve the battle so easily.

Loren asked again, "Bai Xi, what was your strength at your peak?"

Bai Xi hesitated for a moment, "Perhaps... comparable to the Elf Queen?"

Her tone was uncertain.

Because she didn't know Celsia's true strength, she could only guess wildly.

"You must be quite famous in the demon realm, right?"

Bai Xi shook her head. "Bai Xi is just an ordinary, nameless demon."

"..."

Bai Xi's answer was quite serious, but Loren always felt that she wasn't telling the truth.

Without dwelling on the issue, Loren and his companions continued on their way.

Xuefu is eager to fight monsters. She has recently learned a lot of witchcraft and it's time for her to show off her skills.

However, Loren kept avoiding battle, feeling that she had great strength but nowhere to use it, until she reached the central area.

Besides Loren and others, there were many other explorers here.

The Lost Lands open every year, and the humans of the Dawn Kingdom have long since drawn up a map of them.

Loren's intelligence is completely at a disadvantage here.

However, these people certainly did not know that there was divine power within the ruins.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few people in the Lost Lands.

Countless past experiences have proven that the power of divine essence is extremely strong.

Mysterious plants like the Starry Sea Mystery and the Mirror of Reincarnation are considered magical even by legendary wizards.

However, the divine essence can help Loren subdue the mysterious object.

Moreover, the power of divine essence can bestow blessings upon others, granting them powerful abilities.

For example, granting Lilia the power of a suspected domain, or allowing Frost to successfully break through and evolve into a genuine Dragon King.

Even legendary wizards would find it difficult to do such a thing.

If Celia knew about the existence of the divine essence, no matter how obsessed she was with the world in the mirror, she would definitely try to obtain it.

It's not just her.

More legendary figures are sure to emerge from the Lost Lands.

The situation remains far from optimistic.

Loren had already learned about the ruins and divine essence through intelligence.

The ruins contain many secret techniques and a large number of treasures.

The explorers in the vicinity were all drawn by the arcane arts and treasures, including that legendary warrior.

Besides secret techniques and treasures, the ruins also contain many monsters.

This included a headless knight king.

The divine essence is hidden within that Knight King's body!
Because of the existence of divine essence, the Knight King's strength is exceptionally great.

Even legendary level experts would find it difficult to defeat.

In the past, explorers would usually avoid the Knight King and avoid direct confrontation with him.

However, Loren must defeat it to obtain the divine essence this time.

Not only that, he also had to figure out how to deal with that legendary warrior.

Once the Knight King is defeated, the aura of his divine power will immediately spread.

Even if only Loren knows what it is, it will surely cause a frenzy among the crowd.

In other words, Loren needs to defeat both the Headless Horseman King and the Legendary Warrior in order to obtain the Divine Essence.

It's hard.

Bai Xi was not at her peak strength.

It's difficult enough to deal with just one opponent at the legendary level.

Loren thought about it and decided to take it one step at a time, beginning his exploration of the ruins.

He led Xuefu and the other two to avoid the other groups and headed deeper into the ruins.

Every year, many monsters spawn in the ruins of the Lost Lands.

Loren killed the monsters along the way and entered a small room where three eerie red flowers, the Blood Demon Flowers, grew.

The Blood Demon Flower exudes a rich spiritual energy; it is definitely not an ordinary demonic plant.

The rich magical aura attracted numerous monsters.

Loren didn't rush to pick it.

"Hela, prepare the Mirror of Reincarnation. Let's find a way to lure the others here."

Hela quickly understood what Loren meant.

That legendary warrior might become an obstacle in their search for divine essence, so they must restrict his movements in advance.

The mirror world is undoubtedly the best method of restriction.

Tell Hela to prepare, and Loren launches a full-scale attack on the nearby stone wall.

The deafening roar attracted the other explorers, including the legendary warrior.

The more powerful the monster, the easier it is to find precious treasures.

"Friend, are you alright?"

A man asked.

Loren was panting heavily, and Xuefu and Hela also looked to be in poor condition. Several monster corpses lay beside them.

It's clear that a fierce battle has just taken place here.

In reality, the battle wasn't as difficult as it seemed.

Loren was just putting on an act. He didn't answer, and got up to walk towards the room ahead.

"Wait a moment, friend. There might be even more powerful monsters inside!"

Someone spoke up to stop it.

They had clearly sensed the presence of the Blood Demon Flower.

The legendary warrior stepped forward. "I'll go in and scout ahead."

The real purpose of their mission was to explore the area and seize the treasure.

The Blood Demon Flower's aura was intense, leading him to believe the room contained a remarkable treasure.

The legendary warrior was somewhat disappointed as he led his team into the room.

Such a rich aura, yet it only comes from three Blood Demon Flowers...

It's alright, it'll do.

"Huh? What is that?"

A woman raised a question.

Everyone looked in her direction and saw a mirror emitting an eerie white light.

Before anyone could react, they were sucked into the Mirror of Reincarnation.

Just as Loren had predicted, even legendary warriors could not resist the power of the Mirror of Reincarnation.

In this way, the biggest problem was solved.

Loren could finally search for the divine essence with peace of mind.

Having retrieved the Mirror of Reincarnation, Loren ventured into the deepest part of the ruins.

This is the most dangerous area in the lost ruins.

The headless knight king also had four knight servants under his command.

They are also very strong.

The only saving grace was that each of these knights' servants was guarding a room, which Loren could take down one by one.

The first knight's servant is extremely fast.

His incredible speed nearly caused Loren to overturn his car.

Fortunately, Bai Xi was strong enough to kill him successfully.

Loren suffered some injuries but recovered thanks to Millie's healing.

After killing the knight's servant, a Wind Soul Crystal dropped from its body.

This is an elemental crystal even more precious than the Wind Spirit Stone. It can be used for knight training and also for crafting wind-attribute weapons.

Loren dared not be careless with the next few knights.

He decided to take a short break and wait for updates.

The second knight was named Guardian Myra.

Myra possesses the ability to deflect attacks.

When its eyes glow red, it will deflect all physical attacks.

When the eyes glow green, they will deflect all magical attacks.

Loren was glad he had been vigilant enough not to act rashly.

Now that we know the characteristics of Guardian Myra, the problem is not difficult to solve.

This knight is not particularly strong; as long as you pay attention to his eyes, you can easily defeat him.

The third knight is named Ice Eston.

This is a knight who has mastered ice magic.

During combat, he will continuously unleash frost spells to attack.

Frost spells can freeze opponents.

Once you're frozen by him, it's very difficult to get away.

This ability is nothing to fear.

Loren and Shirley are both wizards, and they have mastered a lot of ice magic.

Furthermore, it also possesses fire-based spells that can counter opponents.

Even without Bai Xi, they could still work together to deal with this knight.

The fourth knight servant is named Flame Gulad.

When fighting him, you must not make eye contact with him, as even a single glance will trigger an explosion with tremendous force.

But you can't get too close either.

The intense flames on his body could easily melt his opponents.

Having learned about his opponent in advance, Loren easily dealt with these knightly minions.

Like the first knight's servant, the remaining three knights dropped Earth Crystal, Ice Soul Crystal, and Flame Soul Crystal respectively.

Finally, there is the Headless Horseman King.

The headless knight king rode a fine horse and held a round hammer.

He is extremely fast and can stun all nearby enemies by slamming his hammer into the ground.

While experiencing dizziness, one may also attract lightning strikes.

The Knight King's strength is too great; Bai Xi alone cannot deal with him.

Loren had no choice but to summon Fran to fight alongside her.

As for the other Pokémon, they are temporarily useless in such high-intensity battles.

It's not just these elves.

Sheffield, Hela, and even Loren himself cannot join the battle.

Their strength is far inferior to that of the Knight King; once they are stunned, they may be instantly killed.

The Knight King swung his hammer repeatedly, causing tremors.

Loren could only watch from afar, not daring to approach.

"Bai Xi and Fu Lan look a bit strained. Do they really not need our help?" Hela asked worriedly.

Loren shook his head. "There's nothing we can do to help."

Although Bai Xi and Fu Lan were always stunned, they were able to quickly regain their senses and avoid being struck by lightning.

If it were Loren, he would probably have been stunned by the attack.

After a fierce battle, Bai Xi and Fu Lan emerged victorious with great difficulty.

Loren immediately stepped forward to treat their injuries.

Surprisingly, even after such a fierce battle, Bai Xi remained calm and elegant.

After the battle, her body was spotless and as white as snow; I really don't know how she did it.

"Loren! What is that?" Hela exclaimed.

The others all looked toward the Knight King's body.

A white light emanating a mysterious aura emerged from the other party's body.

God Yun!

Loren stood up and stepped forward, reaching out to touch the white light.

The moment they touched, the white light rapidly merged into Loren's body.

After absorbing the power of the divine essence last time, Loren has been completely transformed.

This time, his change was even more obvious.

Loren's aura was rising steadily, and countless magical energies in the air were surging into his body.

Dark clouds filled the sky above the ruins, and thunder rumbled intermittently.

Under the influence of the divine essence, Loren's wizarding level has been raised once again!
Not only that, his strength is also increasing, and his battle qi is becoming much purer.

In that instant, he not only advanced to a level three wizard, but also became a high-ranking earth knight.

The changes are still ongoing!

His fiery battle aura was so refined that it became eerie and ghostly, as if it possessed life.

The power of the divine essence not only propelled him to a higher level, but also subtly brought him closer to becoming a Sky Knight!

Obtaining divine essence is equivalent to saving decades of arduous cultivation!
The first time I received divine essence, I was reborn.

Having obtained divine essence for the second time, his strength and realm have soared!

Loren felt he had already reached the threshold of becoming a Sky Knight.

Moreover, possessing divine power, he even felt that he could rival ordinary sky knights!
Countless magical powers and rich auras flowed into his body.

Loren felt exceptionally comfortable.

He opened his hand, and a ball of flame appeared in it.

One of the keys to becoming a Sky Knight is to cultivate the ultimate attribute battle aura.

This originally required a long period of arduous practice.

However, with the help of the divine essence, Loren has already accomplished this.

He's now truly only one step away from becoming a Sky Knight!
Moreover, the improvement in the wizard's level is also very obvious.

With the help of the infinite magic of the Starry Sea Mystery, it won't be long before I can advance to the rank of Grand Wizard!
