Chapter 320: World Annihilation
On the remnants of the Giant Spirit Realmâs land, deathly silence enveloped everything.
The surviving Giant Spirit Realm and Mind Realm soldiers stood like soulless puppets, staring blankly at the vast void erased by Dixonâs single palm.
The will to resist, the desire to surviveâutterly shattered in that moment.
The wizardsâ cannon fodder legions surged forward like silent tides, efficiently clearing and capturing these demoralized remnants without any resistance.
Dixon hovered high in the sky, surveying this largely pacified battlefieldâits value greatly diminishedâand nodded slightly.
The Giant Spirit Realmâs resistance core had been uprooted; the Mind Realmâs main force annihilated here.
Next: plunder knowledge from the Mind Realm, then systematically cleanse all colonial planes under the Triangular Plane Clusterâs control, completing total extermination.
Incidentally, they could claim a batch of preliminarily developed âownerlessâ planesâharvests below expectations but still considerable.
As he planned subsequent actions, a highest-priority alert exploded simultaneously in Dixon and Oborosâs minds via special soul link!
From Melist!
Emergency communication from the ship-plane beyond the Triangular Plane Cluster!
âAttention! Proliferation Realm undergoing drastic changes! Repeat, Proliferation Realm undergoing drastic changes!â
Almost upon receiving the message, Dixon and Oborosâs superhuman perception pierced plane barrier obstructions, capturing a heart-palpitating terrifying life fluctuation!
Its source: the Proliferation Realmâlong deemed lacking civilization traces, home only to powerful wild creatures!
Elevating perspective beyond the Triangular Plane Cluster.
Now, the Proliferation Realmâs colorful surfaceâcovered in forests, deserts, oceansâwas undergoing spine-chilling transformations!
The earth writhed!
Mountains undulated!
Oceans boiled!
Not metaphoricallyâbut truly âaliveâ!
Vast green forests wrinkled like a giant beastâs skin; endless gray deserts swirled like quicksand; boundless oceans raised unnatural mega-waves, as if colossal entities awakened beneath.
Noânot âas ifâ!
The wizardsâ speculations were correct but vastly underestimated scale and essenceâthe entire Proliferation Realmâs surface ecosystem was differentiated camouflage by an unimaginable colossal lifeform!
It was the âMycelordâ!
Its true body: the Proliferation Realmâs biosphere itself!
This terrifying entity, slumbering with the plane as its bed, was fully awakened by the plane-chain shock and ecological upheaval from Dixonâs destruction of most Giant Spirit Realm.
Melist, the level-7 wizard guarding the rear in the most mobile ship-plane, observed this heaven-defying spectacle first and issued the warning immediately.
Dixon and Oborosâs faces turned gravely solemn.
They clearly felt the cross-plane pressureâhow heavy, brimming with endless vitality and pure devouring desire; its energy level⊠far exceeding prior Korg and Sylas!
âLevel-wise still level-8, but this⊠completely different tier from those four earlierâŠâ Oborosâs low voice carried unprecedented seriousness.
Under countless wizardsâ horrified gazes, the fully activated Mycelord revealed its true form.
Countless massive tentaclesâcondensed from mountains, forests, even oceansâeach wide enough to encompass stars, abruptly extended from the Proliferation Realmâs surface.
These tentacles, at physics-defying exaggerated speeds, violently tore the plane barrier between Proliferation Realm and shattered Giant Spirit Realm!
The scene: like one world extending limbs, crudely invading another!
Below, Jie Ming watched, pupils contracting, heart pounding uncontrollably.
The Mycelordâs activation rivaled the living plane of yore in majesty!
But⊠such lifeforms were rarer than living planes!
On the Mycelordâs indescribably vast âbody,â an invisible maw seemed to open.
At first contact, a terrifying energy torrentâmixing ultimate devouring desire and life assimilationâerupted like galactic supernova, crushing toward the wizard army in Giant Spirit Realm!
âBlock it!â
Dixon and Oboros roared in unison, unleashing without reserve!
Dixon embraced void with both hands, fate laws twisting reality to divert the destruction torrent into nothingness.
Oboros transformed into a heaven-piercing shadow giant, palms thrustingâpure darkness as shield, hard-clashing the energy impact!
BOOM!!!!!
Three apex existences clashed; shockwaves instantly pulverized all matter within tens of millions of kilometers, reducing space to basic particle streams!
Yet the exchangeâs result constricted Dixon and Oborosâs pupils.
Their combined strikeâcapable of easily destroying ordinary planesâstruck the Mycelordâs seemingly âsoftâ body of soil, rock, water like clay into ocean, merely rippling slightly.
Vast power caused minor damage, instantly absorbed and dispersedâno substantial injury!
Dixonâs face darkened; powerful analysis maxed: âEnergy absorption, law solidification, high-energy resistance, ultra-rapid regeneration, and⊠area energy drain?! So many troublesome traits in one entityâŠâ
Against ordinary foes with these, they had countless counters.
The issue: Mycelordâs size too immense.
Not a living plane, but body scale rivaled any!
Internal energy reserves: billions of times ordinary level-8s.
Combat difficulty: no different from level-8 living planes!
Not unbeatableâbut full exertion would leave no regard for wizards behind.
Battle shockwaves would annihilate the present wizard army!
In the instant apex forces stalemated, countless âslenderâ (mountain-scale) tentacles differentiated from the Mycelordâs vast body, covering toward the wizard army on the other side.
âForm arrays! Combined witchcraft!â
No further orders needed; wizards post-initial chaos displayed astonishing discipline.
Under legion commanders, experienced wizards rapidly converged, mental forces linking to construct super-large composite witchcraft arrays!
Violent elemental power reignitedâDixonâs prior Giant Spirit erasure had broken elemental inertia, even maddening surrounding energies.
Wizards like Jie Ming excelling in solo combat unhesitatingly unleashed strongest attacks.
Great Radiance Formation at full; clustered energy beams like dense rain, bombarding mountain-like tentacles.
Surprisingly, wizard attacks proved exceptionally effective!
Combined witchcraft glow and Jie Mingâs beams struck tentacles, visibly evaporating vast âtissue,â effectively halting advance.
Dixon keenly noted, brows furrowing: âAttacks effective⊠but ours largely absorbedâŠâ
âSeems⊠defense and traits tied to size and energy density?â
Valuable discovery, but seemingly useless under overwhelming assault.
He wanted wizard army immediate evacuation, but against a world-bodied foe, where was true safety?
Then, Melistâs calm voice reached Dixon and Oborosâs minds again:
âAll! Highest-level impact protection! Now!â
Dixon and Oborosâs hearts jolted!
Without hesitation, both abandoned Mycelord body entanglement, flashing like teleportation to the wizard armyâs forefront.
âBarrier!â
They shouted in unison, vast mental force pouring unrestrained!
A composite energy barrier fusing fate trajectories and shadowsâthick as connecting heaven and earthâabruptly rose, firmly shielding the entire wizard legion behind.
In the same instant the barrier formedâŠ
Beyond the Triangular Plane Cluster, the continent-sized ship-planeâs surfaceâtens of thousands of array nodesâlit with blinding light.
Incalculable energy drawn from plane core, linked elemental planes, even forcibly from voidâcompressed, converged.
Finally, at the ship-plane center, before a super-mega main cannon muzzle over a hundred kilometers wide, condensed into a destruction light sphere!
Next moment, the sphere vanished.
Noânot vanished: became a pure-to-extreme energy torrent hundreds of kilometers thick.
The light cannon tore void, ignoring distance, at speed transcending time-space conceptsâviolently striking the Mycelord, half-body probing into Giant Spirit Realm after breaching barrier!
No soundâpropagation meaningless before such energy.
Only light! All-devouring light!
The torrentâlike red-hot iron through butterâeffortlessly pierced the Mycelordâs plane-surface-condensed vast body, pierced the Proliferation Realm, even exiting the far side into endless chaotic void!
The Mycelordâs soul-shattering shriekâmingled countless life wails and earth lamentsâlasted under half a second before abrupt silence.
Its core region, under the absolute destruction torrent, instantly vaporized!
Losing core support, the unimaginably vast body began collapsing.
Like toppled sandcastle, disintegrating into countless fragments and dust radiating final life glowâlike star-domain-covering meteor shower, sprinkling toward shattered Giant Spirit Realm and void.
One strike!
Merely one!
Not only utterly annihilating the level-8 peak world-bodied Mycelord, but physically⊠erasing the entire Proliferation Realm!
Behind the barrier, Jie Ming and other wizards stared dumbstruck at the dissipating terror.
And the distant starry voidâs new ânothingnessâ dark gap.
Jie Ming opened his mouth, voiceless.
This was⊠true high-tier wizard power?
