Earth's Greatest Magus

The sixth-floor plant vault expedition continued with impressive efficiency and coordination. Their coalition had grown to a formidable 80 members, making them a force to be reckoned with. As they ventured deeper into the vaults, no other elves or humans dared to challenge their presence.

Upon entering each vault, Emery, with his adept command of spatial magic, effortlessly opened three portals leading to three different celestial temples within the vault. This strategic maneuver allowed them to swiftly navigate through the chambers, clearing them of celestial constructs with remarkable speed.

In less than 30 minutes, they would conquer an entire vault, gathering celestial shards and medals as they progressed. Their teamwork was impeccable, with magus in the group taking on various roles – some focused on offense, others on defense, and some acting as scouts to mark the vaults as occupied.

These scouts played a crucial role in their expedition's efficiency. Once a vault was marked as occupied by them, word spread among the magus of the other factions, dissuading them from attempting to explore it.

Their progress was not only swift but also lucrative. The shards and medals they collected were accumulating rapidly, and Emery couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. The expedition proceeded even smoother than he had initially expected, thanks to their group's excellent organization and cooperation.

After successfully clearing four vaults, the group had amassed a remarkable total of 32 golden medals. What made this accomplishment even more impressive was the speed at which they achieved it, taking just a little over two hours to secure such a significant haul.

Shatter Cross, who had once been at odds with Emery, now expressed his appreciation for having a magus of Emery's caliber within their group.

"How great it is to have a spatial magus among us,"

The Cross faction noble seemed to have forgotten their past conflicts and was eager to build a more friendly relationship with Emery. In a hushed tone, he even made a tempting offer.

"Join me, and I'll treat you as well as I treat Anzi here," Shatter whispered.

Emery paid no heed to the shameless noble, Shatter Cross, and continued offering his invaluable services to the others. Over four intense hours, their collective efforts bore fruit, and they successfully managed to obtain all 80 golden medals required for the entire group to proceed.

As a heartfelt token of gratitude for Emery's critical role in their success, the group generously rewarded him with six medium-sized shards.

With the medals secured and their mission on track, all 80 magus made their way towards the entrance of the sixth layer crossover. As they stepped into this new phase of their journey, they were keenly aware that there were still 14 hours remaining until the gate to the final layer would open. The entire expedition was scheduled to last for 38 hours in total.

This realization prompted Emery to make a strategic decision. Instead of wandering off to hunt dark elves for more shards, he determined that it was wiser to invest his time in absorbing the ones he already possessed. After all, every ounce of strength and knowledge gained would be crucial in the challenging layers that lay ahead.

Emery followed Jinkan's lead. Unlike their previous experiences, this time Jinkan guided the group of 80 towards a specific spot where many other human magus had gathered. There were roughly a hundred of them. The atmosphere was filled with a blend of excitement and determination as these magus prepared themselves for the last hours of the expeditions.

Jinkan's explanation for gathering with the other human magus was ostensibly to deter any potential raids by dark elves or other unforeseen threats. However, Emery couldn't help but sense that the Nephilim princess had more intricate plans beneath the surface. Nevertheless, with the limited time at his disposal, he chose not to delve into the layers of Jinkan's schemes.

Swiftly securing a concealed spot, Emery initiated his preparations. He conjured his Khaos gate and retrieved the assortment of shards he had diligently collected during their previous vault expeditions. With a sense of focus and determination, he began to absorb the celestial shards, each one adding to his growing strength.

Meanwhile, as Emery immersed himself in the task, he noticed that Twik, his loyal companion, was also making significant progress. The small creature had consumed a few of the light shards, continuously enhancing its abilities and advancing its level.

[Mythical Creature Level 48 (60)]

[Battle Power - 318 (362)]

Emery's attention then turned to the Chizpur brothers, who had been absorbing the celestial shards as well. These shards were having a transformative effect on them, further empowering their already formidable presence.

[Chizpur Fang - Stage 7]

[Legendary Creature - Level 30(65)]

[Battle Power - 205 (245)]

At this juncture, Emery had accumulated a substantial number of celestial shards in his possession: 25 light shards and 8 plant shards.

Emery decided to allocate one plant shard to each of the Chizpur brothers, recognizing the potential enhancements these shards could offer to their already impressive capabilities. For Twik, the small and loyal creature, Emery was willing to share as many of the light shards as it could effectively absorb, capitalizing on its steady growth.

With these arrangements in place, Emery focused on his advancement. His goal was clear: to achieve a crucial breakthrough during this pivotal hour, elevating himself to the esteemed status of a double full moon magus.

Emery began the process by positioning three light shards before him. He channeled his spirit energy into these shards, forging a profound connection between his soul and the celestial fragments. As the shards merged with his essence, he felt a remarkable surge in his Soul Force, a testament to the increasing depth of his inner strength. This boost invigorated him and reinforced his determination to persist in his endeavors.

The results of his diligent work were soon manifest in the system notifications that appeared before him:

[You have successfully comprehended the law of light]

[Soul force has increased by 3 points]

[Soul force has increased by 3 points]

[Soul force has increased …..]

[Soul force 495(503)]

[Successful comprehension of the Law of Light by 1%]

[Law of Light - 14 (15)%]

[Law Comprehension - 49% (50%)]

The breakthrough was a profound experience, one that felt entirely distinct from any of Emery's previous advancements. It was as though a single drop of water had rippled through the vast expanse of an ocean. Emery could sense his natural core undergoing a radiant transformation, its luminous energy intensifying. The dam that had confined this energy seemed to be cracking under the pressure, yet it was not quite enough.

Emery recognized what was required to achieve the breakthrough he sought. With resolve, he retrieved three additional celestial shards and once again channeled his energy into them. This time, the entire pool of energy within him began to resonate, gradually exerting pressure on the dam until it finally shattered.

The notifications that followed marked a significant milestone in Emery's journey:

[You have reached a breakthrough in your comprehension of the Law of Light.]

[Battle power increases exponentially.]

[Soul force increased exponentially.]

[Your Nature Core is expanding.]

[You have successfully comprehended the Law of Nature.]

[Law of Nature: 21 (22%)]

[Soul force: 503 (519)]

[Battle power: 440 (470)]

[You have reached a new Realm: Dual Half Moon Magus.]

The breakthrough he had experienced wasn't merely a boost in his power; it came with a profound understanding—an interconnection between the forces of nature and light. Together, they formed a synergistic blend that generated a surge of extraordinary power. As the pulsations of energy gradually subsided, a curious sensation began to wash over him.

His newfound breakthrough had unexpected consequences, as he felt his broken Primal Core begin to quiver unusually. It was as though the Khaos energy within him had grown restless. This unexpected development prompted Emery to open his eyes in confusion, seeking an explanation.

Standing before him was the Khaos Guardian Chututlu, who seemed to grasp the situation. <Your light power has reached a level that could affect Khaos energy,>

Emery swiftly comprehended the implications of these words. He employed his [Dao Divine Technique], skillfully balancing the two distinct energies within him and ultimately restoring a sense of harmony to his two cores.
