Augustus had a towering spell body. His descend was surrounded by rows of flames. These flames were even more formidable than a Fire-type ultimate Maxim.

This was the power of the natural order!

Merlin was not too well-versed about the differences between the ultimate existences but he knew that there must be some differences. Otherwise, Augustus would not be classified as the number one contender among the three great Arcane Wizards.

Currently, watching Augustus appearing in a column of blazing flames, Merlin also noticed the subtle difference between him and Arcane Wizard Setoh and the Rock Tribe Progenitors. It seemed that Augustus had grasped the power of the natural order adeptly, and was able to integrate his body into the natural order.

These flames belonged to Augustus' ultimate Maxim but they had exceeded the power of an ultimate Maxim and contained traces of the natural order aura.

Upon seeing Augustus' descend, Hanra and Zenmo's expression dropped imperceptibly. They were very well aware of Augustus' formidable strength. In fact, even the God Alliance was wary of Augustus.

"Augustus, you're finally here. Nevertheless, this is an extermination war. It won't be easy for the Spell Caster civilization to exterminate the Rock Tribe!"

Progenitor Zenmo and Progenitor Hanra both stood together in the air in direct confrontation of Arcane Wizard Augustus and Arcane Wizard Setoh. The power of the natural order revolved around the latter two.

"Huh?"

Augustus frowned. Although the ultimate existences controlled the power of the natural order and had different gaps in power, without an absolute advantage, it would be impossible to exterminate any tribe.

While he was more powerful than Progenitors Zenmo and Hanra, their joint forces would be troublesome for him to handle. Thus, Arcane Wizard Setoh was essential.

Previously, they also had a similar discussion. Compared to a civilization war, an extermination war was much more brutal. Since the Rock Tribe had been provoking the Spell Caster civilization again and again, they could no longer be forgiven!

In the Spell Caster civilization, the three great Arcane Wizards each held down different forts. For example, Arcane Wizard Ceci stood guard against the Atlan civilization. He even moved Ceci Arcane City near the Altan Dimension to intimidate the Altan civilization and prevent them from leaving the Atlan Dimension at all cost.

As the most powerful Arcane Wizard and the symbol of motivation among the Spell Caster civilization, Augustus was tasked with guarding against the biggest threat to the Spell Caster civilization – the God Alliance. Hence, his direct opponent was one of the eight largest god organizations that constituted the God Alliance, the Light God Organization.

The last time outside the Glorious Land, the three Arcane Wizards had joined forces and injured the Lord God of Light severe enough to put him out of action for a thousand years. Hence, Augustus was able to spare some time and boldly join forces with Arcane Wizard Setoh to get rid of the Rock Tribe.

However, Augustus still felt that something was not right. Looking at the likes of Progenitors Zenmo and Hanra, who seemed ready to fight to their dying breath, and even dared to join forces with the Atlan civilization, how could they be so unprepared?

This was because, right now, the Rock Tribe was obviously at a disadvantage.

"Augustus, it's time to attack. No matter what, we cannot allow Zenmo and Hanra to escape. Otherwise, if they go to Ceci Arcane City and engage Ceci and open the seal put on the Atlan civilization, we'll be in trouble."

Arcane Wizard Setoh's logic was faultless. Now that the two Arcane Wizards had arrived at the front line, they absolutely could not allow Zenmo and Hanra to escape.

"That's right. Both of us will trap Zenmo and Hanra. I've also brought along some of the Lords and Legends of Augustus Arcane City. They'll join forces with Setoh Arcane City to wipe out the Rock Tribe. Hmph, since this has deteriorated into an extermination war, we have nothing to fear anymore. Destroy the Rock Tribe's foundation!"

A stern look flashed across Augustus' eyes. Last time, they were cautious of the two ultimate existences – Zenmo and Hanra – therefore did not pressure the Rock Tribe too harshly.

However, this time, the Rock Tribe had secretly established contact with the Atlan civilization. Obviously, they were attempting to destroy the Spell Caster civilization entirely. No matter what, the three great Arcane Wizards would not tolerate it any longer.

Thus, no matter how big the price, they must severely punish or even wipe out the Rock Tribe civilization!

"All Spell Casters, kill!"

Arcane Wizard Setoh's voice resounded clearly in every Spell Caster's ear. Immediately, the thirty-six Legend Squads and the Legends led by Augustus, all swarmed relentlessly toward the Rock Tribe dimension.

This time, the Rock Tribe seemed prepared. Most of their strong contenders got into formation, and there were even existences comparable to the Lords. Regardless, by comparison of sheer numbers, they could not outnumber the joint force between Setoh Arcane City and Augustus Arcane City.

Hence, right at the beginning of the confrontation, the Rock Tribe was already suffering a disadvantage.

"Damn it, we must hold on. This time, our losses will be massive but it's too late to regret our decision. We don't have any escape routes. I hope that the Atlan civilization's plan will work. Otherwise, we'll be the first ones to lose!"

Seeing dimensions getting destroyed one after another, Zenmo and Hanra's faces turned sallow and their expressions turned ashen. Under their leadership, the Rock Tribe had overcome various obstacles to grow to such a powerful extent. If not for the fact that the Spell Caster civilization was blocking their way forward, they also did not want to provoke them.

However, right now, they had no other choice!

For some time, the two Progenitors and two Arcane Wizards wielded their respective Maxims and battled one another. The entire Void Zone tremored dangerously and was accompanied by the sounds of multiple dimensions exploding. The two Progenitors were getting more anxious as time passed.

They were tightly suppressed by Arcane Wizards Augustus and Setoh. If it was Ceci who came, then they might still have a trick or two up their sleeves, but in the end, it was Augustus who had shown up. Whether it was in terms of controlling the natural order or utilizing different tactics of the natural order, Augustus was slightly superior to both.

Therefore, the two Progenitors found themselves on the losing end.

Similarly, the outlook of the Rock Tribe was quite unfavorable.

Merlin was leading a squad of fourteen ordinary Legends. Their performance was not excessively eye-catching but wherever his squad went, none of the Rock Creatures could withstand them.

Initially, the fourteen ordinary Legends in Merlin squad had some doubts about him but right now, they had vanquished their doubt. All that was left was complete admiration.

They were the only ones who knew that whenever they encountered an existence comparable to an Honored Legend, Merlin would wield a unique technique called Mind Suppression.

Subsequently, Maxim Chains would fly out and swiftly restraint the opponent, allowing the fourteen ordinary Legends to release their killing blows. The entire battle process was very easy and effective.

One after another, they had destroyed countless dimensions, and powerful Rock Creatures died under their Maxims. It was at this moment that many strong contenders among the Rock Tribe realized how terrifying the civilization they were confronting was.

In just a short span of three thousand over years, the Spell Caster civilization rose up to become an outstanding force. Their biggest advantage was the short cultivation time required by the strong contenders. Every hundred years or so, a large batch of Legendary existence would be born. Occasionally, even an Honored Legend would appear.

Owing to the formidable abilities of the Legends and above, the Spell Caster civilization was considered fearsome. Besides the Atlan civilization that could create an infinite number of above-Legend existences, no other foreign tribe civilizations could measure up to the Spell Caster civilization.

In the previous civilization war, the Rock Tribe did not sustain any heavy damage but merely returned with defeat. In addition, it looked like they had some foothold to win. As a result, many of the Rock Creatures imagined that if Progenitor Zenmo had dispatched more powerful Rock Creatures, the civilization war might have ended differently.

Right now, however, they witnessed the Spell Caster civilization destroying multiple Rock Tribe dimensions with ease. Moreover, dozens of Rock Creatures comparable to Honored Legends had died.

They were rudely awakened. How massive was the gap between them and the Spell Caster civilization?

This large-scale extermination war had just begun but the outcome seemed to be apparent. Almost half of the Rock Tribe's dimensions had been destroyed. Even the two Progenitors seemed short of breath as they were tightly trapped by Arcane Wizards Augustus and Setoh.

"Two days… We've been holding on for two days. There's just one day left. If the Atlan civilization still doesn't appear, we'll withdraw ourselves, seal the dimension and reconcile with the Spell Caster civilization!"

Progenitors Zenmo and Hanra said through gritted teeth. They had made up their minds to pay the utmost price. Their goal was to keep Arcane Wizards Augustus and Setoh occupied.

Currently, their goal had been accomplished but for that, they had to pay a painful price! However, this price was not in vain. They were waiting for a miracle to occur…

…

In the vast Void Zone, Ceci Arcane City of the three great Arcane Cities was situated in a relatively remote area.

If Augustus was said to be the most powerful among the three great Arcane Wizards and was the spiritual symbol of the Spell Caster civilization, then Ceci was the most silent and most mysterious Arcane Wizard.

Even many powerful Lords had never met Arcane Wizard Ceci1.

The reason was simple. Arcane Wizard Ceci continuously stood guard in Ceci Arcane City against the Atlan civilization. Other than some very exceptional circumstances, Arcane Wizard Ceci would not leave Ceci Arcane City.

Although the Spell Caster civilization was embroiled in a brutal extermination war, Arcane Wizard Ceci still stood guard in Ceci Arcane City.

At the same time, Ceci Arcane City seemed to be relatively free from the pressing threat of the extermination war. As usual, he stayed in Ceci Arcane City, and occasionally patrolled near the seal.

Not too far away from Ceci Arcane City, there was an incredibly behemoth dimension. Back then, when the Spell Caster civilization first saw this dimension, they were ecstatic. They thought that this would become the eternal foundation of the Spell Caster civilization.

Until one day, the three great Arcane Wizards joined forces to open this dimension and attracted a ruthless war that no Spell Caster was willing to face.

The Atlan Dimension – in this dimension was the mysterious yet tough Atlan civilization. Currently, this dimension had been resealed by the three great Arcane Wizards with the power of the natural order.

However, this seal was not completely impenetrable. It was extremely difficult to break from the inside but from the outside, all that was needed was a massive force which contained the power of the natural order. With that, the seal would naturally weaken, and the Atlan civilization on the inside would be able to break open the seal and step into the Void Zone once again.

Therefore, Arcane Wizard Ceci's gaze was always trained on the seal of the Atlan Dimension.

"Whiz."

At this moment, a huge figure wrapped in dazzling holy light emerged from the Void Zone.

"The Atlan Dimension?"

This great existence wrapped in holy light looked at the incredibly behemoth dimension with a shocked expression. Although he had heard of the Atlan civilization and knew that they were born in a huge dimension, hearing it and seeing it with his eyes was two different things. Such a behemoth dimension could cause anyone to stumble.

"Such a huge dimension. Fortunately, the Spell Casters didn't obtain it. Hehe, the last time, you were lucky to drive the Atlans back to their dimension. What about this time?"

The mysterious figure revealed a hint of maliciousness in his voice.
