Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 803: Chapter 709: Endless Abyss

The Abyss Plane is broadly composed of two parts, with purgatory on the left, where demons abound, and the Netherworld on the right, the home of devils, standing side by side.

Purgatory has seven layers.

The Netherworld has less than six layers.

Beneath purgatory and the Netherworld is the Endless Abyss.

It is said that both purgatory and the Netherworld originally had nine layers, which were slowly devoured piece by piece by the beasts from the Endless Abyss, leading to their current state.

These beasts residing in the Endless Abyss have a specific name — devouring beasts.

“It’s no wonder these are praised as ’chaos sub-species’, they can even disregard Rule Power, crushing it instantly.”

Ivan never expected that after his long journey, as soon as he entered the domain of the Endless Abyss, he encountered a swarm of devouring beasts, who gave him a rude awakening.

This group of devouring beasts looked like numerous flying dragons at first glance, but a closer look revealed them to be a nest of ferocious insects.

He condensed the power of myriad phenomena into the ’World-Destroying Palm’, covered them with it with a grand momentum, but to his surprise, the palm was instantly decomposed by the swarm and devoured completely.

And the swarm was hardly damaged at all.

Once upon a time, Ivan himself was also a capable Insect Control Master, but he had never seen such ferocious insects, exceeding his understanding and logic.

Considering that this was the Endless Abyss evolved from the Chaos Well, where chaotic power has become the norm, he was relieved.

Chaos represents disorder, anything can appear.

“Let this sorcerer see if you can truly devour everything.”

As an Insect Control Master, being bullied by a group of insects was intolerable. Ivan took it seriously, transforming into the Supreme King Body, with the Ten Thousand Dragon Banner appearing in his hand, greatly enhancing his power.

Compared to the True King Body of the kingly era, his Supreme King Body was different.

Black hair and a black robe, eyes like stars, standing at the height of ninety-nine meters, giving an impression of returning to simplicity, yet he was surrounded by colorful mist, completely unaffected by the environment of the Endless Abyss.

Behind his head, faint seven-colored radiance emanated, softly enveloping a nearby area, impossible to ignore, which was actually where the Great Wisdom Wheel resided.

“Crack, crack, crack.”

“Here they come.”

The swarm emitted low, savage sounds, swarming in as a whole with an aura like a rushing Sky River. Facing such a frenzy, Ivan was unafraid, wielding the Ten Thousand Dragon Banner boldly as he met them head-on.

In an instant, he was surrounded by numerous flying insects, and no matter where he looked, he saw fierce-looking insects everywhere.

“Boom.”

“Boom.”

“Boom.”

Any flying insect approaching within a certain range around Ivan was greatly suppressed in all aspects when touched by the glow of the Great Wisdom Wheel. They slowed down, reactions dulled, expressions turned confused, then got swept away by the Ten Thousand Dragon Banner, hit accurately, unable to get close.

Thus, despite the swarm appearing to blot out the sky and cover the sun, there was actually an empty space around him.

Before long, the long hair behind Ivan transformed into some unknown insect tendrils, which were infused with rich myriad phenomena power, entangling the wounded black flying insects, with the ends piercing their bodies.

“Such strong Corrosion Power, but fortunately, this sorcerer is not a pushover either.”

Once the insect tendrils pierced into the bodies of the flying insects, they were immediately disturbed by the insects’ own chaotic power, which was quite troublesome. Fortunately, his insect tendrils were resilient and everlasting.

As long as they grew fast enough, the Corrosion Power couldn’t catch up.

Soon, his insect tendrils underwent some transformation, gradually approaching these devouring beasts. Not only that, but he also used the entangled flying insects as Meteor Hammers, gleefully striking other insects, making it increasingly difficult for them to approach.

Yet, the flying insects were exceptionally courageous, fighting to the death without retreating, not showing any signs of exhaustion, continuing to encircle him tightly.

“Crack, crack, crack.”

“Crack, crack, crack.”

After a while, the flying swarm finally submerged that area.

Puzzled, the enemy in front of them suddenly disappeared without a trace. Even though they had encircled him tightly, looking all around, there were only more flying insects, nothing else in sight.

The flying insects buzzed up and down noisily, and after a commotion, eventually gave up on searching and flew quickly in one direction.

None of them noticed that there was an unusual kinsman silently mixed in with them, which was naturally Ivan in disguise.

’Hehe, it works after all.’

’This swarm of flying insects doesn’t seem very smart. First, I’ll figure out their communication methods and behavior habits, then try to compete for the leader’s position, making them work for me.’

’It’s a pity, this group has a special structure, involving chaotic power, and can’t be controlled in the short term.’

Ivan dared to come to the notorious Endless Abyss, he had already devised his strategy, the arrival of this swarm of flying insects was merely coincidental.

He had an upper-class Original Force Treasure specifically aimed at the devil race — the Wizard’s Fate Mask, transforming the aura of the Abyss Plane was no challenge, coupled with Vanessa’s teachings on chaotic power, simulating a shallow layer of chaotic aura was no challenge either.

With all these factors combined, plus his exploration of these flying insects, after utilizing the Great Transformation Technique, he successfully disguised himself as one of the swarm.

He had even greater ambitions; once he further understood the swarm, he would rise up and replace the swarm’s leader.

After achieving this step, he could then unfold his true plan.
