Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Then a thought flashed through Pang Lai's mind like lightning, making him shudder and suddenly remember Qin Xiaonan who had visited him not long ago!
Wasn't that young man asking him in detail about the method to reach the summoning plane?

The precision of his questions and the depth of his insight were not mere whims! And shortly after he left, such a momentous event broke out in the Summoning Plane, the first of which was the Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons, which he had focused on asking about!

"Could it be... that all of this is related to him?" Pang Lai was startled by his own bold guess.

"Did he orchestrate this campaign?"

But then he shook his head, trying to dismiss the idea as too outrageous.

"Probably...no!"

"Although Qin Xiaonan is mysterious and unpredictable, his progress in strength is inconceivable, and he has talented people under his command... but that is the Summoning Plane! It is the Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons! The sacred land of the dragon race that has stood for countless years!"

"Besides, how could he possibly control a behemoth like the Shurima Empire?"

Pang Lai fell into deep confusion and self-doubt.

Unbeknownst to him, Speaker Shao Zheng, who was also in the capital, had already discovered part of the truth.

The more people who know about the delicate and crucial relationship between Qin Xiaonan and the Shurima Empire, the greater the uncontrollable risk.

Therefore, he never revealed it to anyone, including the highly respected chief court mage, Pang Lai.

Summoning plane, Dragon Valley.

The sacred land of the dragon race was no longer as holy and majestic as it once was; as far as the eye could see, it was a scene of devastation.

The valley, once brimming with dragon energy and radiant with light, is now filled with massive rifts and deep pits—scars left by the clash between Azir's golden greatsword and the powerful dragon curse.

Countless dragon nests collapsed, broken dragon horns, shattered scales, and congealed dragon blood were everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong stench of blood, burnt flesh, and the desolate aura of the dragon souls that had dissipated after the fall of the dragon race.

Azir still stands atop the sun disk, bathed in golden light, holding an absolute advantage.

The four dragon valley rulers were now in a miserable state.

The once colossal Cloud-Hidden Heavenly Dragon, which seemed to occupy half the sky, has now shrunk considerably and dimmed, its originally solid cloud-mist body becoming thin and transparent.

The Golden Holy Dragon King was covered in wounds, with large patches of its dazzling golden scales peeling off, revealing the charred flesh beneath.

A huge wound that almost severed its dragon wing was shocking, and the flowing golden dragon blood had a hint of decay.

The gnarled, forest-like body of the Ancient Wood Dragon was torn in half, and the pale skeleton of the Nether Bone Dragon was also covered with cracks, with Netherfire flickering.

The defeat is inevitable!

The four dragon ancestors let out a roar filled with resentment and sorrow. They gazed deeply at the figure that resembled a golden god or demon, and then looked down at their dragon sons and grandsons who had suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, they could only take the remaining, mostly wounded, elite dragons and transform into several mournful streaks of light as they fled, abandoning the home they had cultivated for countless years.

Azir did not pursue; his objective had been achieved.

Then below, in the core area of ​​Wanlong Valley, lies the location that originally belonged to the Dragon Clan's altar.

The earth was reshaped by the power of ascension, and a brand new, more magnificent solar disk rose from the ground! As soon as the disk took shape, it shone brightly, resonating strongly with the disk beneath Azir's feet and the distant blue planet, forming a stable, transdimensional passage!

The next moment, it was as if the door to another world had been opened!
Large numbers of Shurima demons from the African continent of Earth—fierce Sand Fury Lizards, organized Sand Soldier legions, and all sorts of strange, desert-scented monsters—swarmed out of the golden light tunnel and quickly occupied and took over this newly conquered dragon territory!

Wanlong Valley has changed hands!

However, the conquests did not stop.

Just as Azir had established himself in the Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons, the sky in the southeast direction of the summoning plane was suddenly stained with a strange, distorted purple!

A gigantic, constantly rotating purple void vortex appeared out of thin air!

Immediately afterwards, the ever-changing figure of Void Queen Bervis led countless howling and roaring, indescribable void creatures out of the vortex like a destructive tide.

They charged headlong into an ancient tribe in the distance!

Leading the charge was the colossal Void Terror, Cho'Gath!
Its carapace, covered in bone spurs, gleamed with an eerie light. Its gaping maw seemed capable of swallowing mountains. Wherever it passed, whether it was solid ground or the defensive barriers surrounding a tribe, it was rapidly eroded, disintegrated, and reduced to nothingness by its pure void energy!
This army from the void employs bizarre yet highly efficient attack methods.

Although the attacked tribe also possessed great power, summoning various elemental giants and ancient tree spirits to resist, its defenses quickly collapsed under the unreasonable encroachment of the Void army, and it soon fell into a precarious situation, being occupied by the Void forces.

-

Blue Star, comprising the two continents of Africa and Europe.

With Azir and his main army embarking on an expedition to summon planes, and Belvis leading the vast majority of void creatures away, the suffocating demonic pressure on these two continents suddenly decreased dramatically!
On the African continent, although Shurima still has troops stationed there, without the Emperor and the core legions in command, its control over the vast territory has significantly weakened, and some vacuum areas have emerged in remote regions.

In Europe, the situation is even more pronounced.

The void creatures almost all withdrew, finally giving this ravaged land a chance to breathe!

Those human base cities that had struggled to survive under the threat of the void were surprised to find that the twisted and terrifying purple rifts outside the cities were beginning to shrink, and the number of wandering void creatures had decreased sharply!
This sudden turn of events brought the survivors to tears of joy.

News of Azir's campaign against the Summoning Dimension's Valley of Ten Thousand Dragons spread rapidly across Earth.

After initially digesting this news, many human mages actually saw a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

"If... if the Shurima Empire, and those terrifying Void creatures, could keep their attention and their main force tied down in the Summoning Plane for an extended period of time..."

"Then, the pressure on our Blue Star will be greatly reduced!"

"Our base cities can gain valuable time for reconstruction and development!"

“Even… the vast ‘no man’s lands’ that were previously occupied by powerful demon empires and that people dared not set foot in, may now be explored and reclaimed on a trial basis!”

"Our area of ​​operation will be expanded!"

Shurima and the Void remain a sword hanging over our heads.

But for now, that sharp sword is pointing elsewhere. (End of Chapter)
