SORCERER: I WANT TO BE AN ACADEMIC PRODIGY

Chapter 578: Chapter 576: Ancient Divine Light

“Where did this strange race come from, daring to meddle in the affairs of our Snake-man Empire?”

“The sorcerer comes from the human race, do you intend to bully the few with the many?”

“And what if I bully you!”

The snake-people are used to being domineering, and Ivan stepped up to confront them, immediately drawing the attention of one snake-man. Without a word, the snake-man engaged in battle, his aura imposing.

As lords of the same level, Ivan would not easily cower.

Coincidentally, both of them possessed the power of flames.

Ivan transformed into the Flame Element King Body, and with a casual squeeze of his hand, a huge sword made of solidified flames appeared.

Seeing this, the snake-man Kenneth, imitating him, suddenly had a long-handled curved blade in his hand.

In the midst of the reckless sparks, the two fought back and forth.

It was not hard to see that their fight was more civilized than Meg’s, as if they were reluctantly forced to step out to fight due to social niceties.

Different from the two,

At this moment, Meg and Bach were truly enraged, their battle thunderous.

Even though Meg had been promoted to lord later than his enemy, his heavy strength was not inferior, and when the snake-man Bach realized this, his rage grew even more intense.

“Bastard, go to hell!”

The snake-man Bach activated the blood of the titan python within him, and his horns on his head turned gold, elongating instantaneously, extending backward, giving his green-faced and fierce-toothed visage an additional aura of divinity.

This was clearly a reckless tactic of ‘exchanging blood with blood.’

Once the snake-man Bach made his move, Meg’s momentum diminished in the blink of an eye.

During the battle, Ivan did not forget to keep an eye on Meg’s situation. Seeing this scene, he knew he could not just stand by and watch.

The next second, he threw his Longsword.

The Longsword suddenly transformed into a scaleless python, the snake’s body gathering multi-colored flames, and with a mysterious force within, it grew ever larger and more robust, attacking snake-man Kenneth.

“Boom!”

The snake-man Kenneth initially did not take it seriously, but when he realized something was wrong, his massive body stiffened from the collision and was then sent flying backward.

“You cheated!”

Kenneth’s eyes widened.

Ivan paid no further attention to the pained snake-man Kenneth. With a flash, he appeared beside Meg, extending a hand to help.

Under the same conditions of being lords, a sorcerer with a fused Soul Energy Core and Elemental Core, who was already renowned for his extraordinary battle prowess, now even had an additional Life Core.

His actions were naturally extraordinary, and the enemy that Meg had long struggled to defeat was instantly blown away by him.

Snake-man Kenneth and Bach were successively injured, and Ivan temporarily became the most prominent figure.

“Ivan, you’re truly formidable.”

“Be careful, it’s not over yet.”

Ivan’s expression did not show much joy, as he sensed something attempting to lock onto him. The only beings capable of this were likely the hidden Level 5 Ancient Kings, and it was unexpected that there were those from the Snake-man Empire.

“Meg, are you sure there’s a way through the middle?”

“I’m very sure.”

“Then let’s go!”

Upon receiving a certain reply, Ivan made a decisive move, lifting Meg and not retreating but advancing, directly flying towards the center of the highland plains. With the enhancement of spatial power, his speed far surpassed that of ordinary lord-level powerhouses.

As he moved, a snake-hand crossed the space and came at them, accurately targeting the two.

At a critical moment, a Golden War Drum appeared beside Ivan, the drum vibrated with sound, bringing him another layer of reinforcement, further increasing his speed.

“Think you can escape? Where can you go?”

His actions infuriated the hidden figure, and an old yet majestic voice rang out, clearly reaching the ears of every creature present.

Following that, a figure shorter than the average Serpent Person appeared.

This Snake-man Ancient King couldn’t accept being slipped away from a lord’s grasp and was ready to give both a profound lesson.

On the other side, Ivan didn’t bother with these, determinedly took Meg to the middle of the highlands plain, just as the Old Treant had said—there really wasn’t anything out of the ordinary here.

Except for a faint residual presence.

His previous speculation was also correct; there had indeed been unusual disturbances here, and the residual presence proved it, attracting the gathering of powerful beings from all around.

Ivan looked toward Meg, who after arriving here, suddenly stood still on the ground, unmoving.

“Troublesome.”

With the Snake-man Ancient King attacking, Ivan had no choice but to face the enemy first.

The Nine Python Fire Whisker Spear is unleashed.

Even Mystic Black Chains are mixed within, Pure White Flame forming the python’s head—this is clearly his most powerful attack.

Facing a Level 5 Snake-man Ancient King, Ivan, no matter how confident in the sorcerer’s combat prowess, can’t afford to hold back in this situation.

On the other side, there is a semblance of five python’s massive claws.

“Boom!”

“Thud!”

At this moment, two different sounds emerged in succession; the former was the clashing noise between Ivan and the Snake-man Ancient King, and the latter was an abrupt flash of Ancient Divine Light.

Once the divine light erupted, everything—time, space, elements—seemed to have frozen.

The light rapidly spread, engulfing everything in the vicinity.

Ivan only felt a tightness around his waist before being dragged into the divine light, journeying across time and space with it, towards that unknown realm.

“Ivan, are you alright?”

With Meg’s voice, the surroundings suddenly cleared, and Ivan realized that he had sustained some injuries in the last clash, with bloodstains on his body.

“It’s nothing.”

Facing Meg’s concerned gaze, Ivan shook his head slightly.

If it weren’t for Meg’s reminder, he wouldn’t have even realized he was injured, which shows the incredible speed of his recovery supported by the Life Core.

“What’s going on here?”

He also noticed that it was a green vine wrapped around his waist, pulling them through some kind of ancient halo, giving a sensation of traveling through time and space.

Had it not been for Meg’s action, using her own vines to catch his waist’s green vine, the two would likely have been separated by now.

Now, the situation was that Meg was dragging him along.

“We’re delving into an ancient secret realm—the one I told you could find the throne in. That place should be in a special location where the eras of time-space intersect.”

Meg pondered, then explained.

By his expression, it was clear he didn’t fully understand.

Ivan didn’t dwell on this point but pointed out the shadows closely following them—those were the people around them.

“What about these guys?”

“I know, this kind of situation was called ‘Struggle for Kingship’ in Ancient Times—it’s about vying for the throne.”

“Struggle for Kingship?”

“The rest I don’t know. The visions I just had were only these.”

Seeing Meg’s dazed look, Ivan didn’t expect him to have all the answers.

However, the situation was obviously far from simple; the era-intersecting secret realm was complicated, as was the hidden Level 5 Ancient King. If it’s as Meg described, a battle for the throne to occur, a fierce fight was inevitably forthcoming.

He thought, could he perhaps take advantage of the opportunity when others were likely not yet aware, to gain some advantage?

Regardless, as long as the throne actually exists, he absolutely couldn’t miss out.
