The pitch-black vortex forcibly torn open in the sky showed no signs of collapsing despite the summoner's power being cut off. Instead, it was being steadily maintained by an even more colossal force.
The mysterious seventh-tier wizard calmly braced his hands against the illusory spatial portal, as if performing a trivial task. He even continued to exert his power, slowly widening the portal further.
The sage's composure completely shattered.
The overwhelming sense of plummeting from heaven to hell, then being repeatedly ground into the eighteenth layer of hell, utterly shattered his once-unyielding heart.
For he realized that beyond the seventh-tier wizard—whose overwhelming qi defied comprehension—the skies surrounding the isolated island were now swarming with countless wizards of varying forms!
These wizards ranged in power, some wreathed in flames, others treading on frost, and still others surrounded by swarms of alchemical constructs.
Without exception, the energy fluctuations emanating from them indicated terrifying third-tier power at the very least!
The Sage couldn't discern how or when these damned fellows had appeared.
In his perception, it was as if they had been silently present from the beginning, like spectators watching a play in a theater.
Yet, due to some unknown force, he had subconsciously and completely ignored them all along!
Now, these "spectators" wore expressions of excitement, greed, and fanaticism.
This was hardly surprising. For a wizard, suddenly obtaining the coordinates of a completely new, unknown world—one that appeared to possess considerable power—was an unparalleled windfall.
It was akin to a mortal stumbling upon a treasure vault overflowing with gold while walking down the road!
Jieming stood beside David, arms crossed over his chest.
Gazing up at the seventh-tier wizard whose mere presence made the sky tremble slightly, radiating overwhelming power, he couldn't help but click his tongue in awe.
This was the true pinnacle of combat power within the wizard civilization!
In fact, when Jieming and David discovered that the sage was using an entirely new power system—one completely outside the Noren Workshop and the Elosian Plane System—they had already begun to suspect that he might have made contact with some unknown "external entity."
His energy signature, which involved draining vitality and performing remote sacrifices, seemed perfectly suited as a preliminary ritual for communicating with Evil Gods and collecting offerings.
Though the idea was audacious, it wasn't impossible within the wizarding world.
After all, theoretically, a powerful sixth-tier being already possessed the ability to leave its native plane and embark on short voyages through the chaotic void.
Even though other systems besides wizardry found it much more difficult to sustain themselves in the chaotic void for extended periods, by the seventh-tier, most beings could undertake long-distance travel beyond their home planes.
Moreover, the vast expanse beyond the multiverse wasn't labeled "Property of the Wizard Civilization."
It was entirely possible that a hapless developing civilization, while exploring the void, had inadvertently extended its power tendrils into a remote plane under the jurisdiction of the wizard civilization.
Therefore, two years ago, after discovering the faintest traces of this possibility, Jieming and David promptly reported all their intelligence and speculations to the academy.
The academy's response far exceeded their expectations!
This intelligence even drew out Dean Avery Knight, the seventh-tier soul grand wizard of Elosia Noren Academy, a figure whose existence was only rumored but who had never appeared since assuming office!
Dean Knight abandoned his critical research project and secretly shadowed Jieming and David for the past two years, using them as bait to lure out the "big fish."
Moreover, leveraging the unfathomable soul manipulation and perception abilities of a Seventh-Tier Soul Wizard, Dean Avery Knight had also gathered all the high-rank wizards in the academy who were interested in "otherworld coordinates."
Using his abilities, he completely masked the presence of everyone present!
This created the spectacular scene before them: a "sparrow behind the mantis, the mantis watching the show"!
At that moment, Dean Avery Knight radiated immense power and aura.
He was simultaneously forcibly expanding and stabilizing the extremely unstable spatial portal while projecting his terrifying soul power through it.
Despite being separated by the distance of an entire world, he was relentlessly pummeling the Destruction Demon God on the other side of the spatial channel!
Jieming watched with surging excitement, unable to help but exclaim, "Impressive! This summoned civilization has actually heard of us wizards... Their strength must be formidable."
David nodded in agreement beside him.
In Jieming's view, the wizard civilization was likely a relatively obscure presence within the infinite multiverse.
After all, wizards were notoriously ruthless in their methods.
Once the wizards set their sights on a target, they left virtually no survivors.
Entire civilizations would be packed up and taken away, becoming experimental subjects and resources.
With no survivors, naturally, no tales of their fearsome reputation would ever spread.
But now, the so-called "Destruction Demon God" across from them clearly knew of the wizards' existence, and was terrified to the core.
This meant that their civilization must have once engaged in a brutal battle with the wizard civilization.
And... they had survived!
Regardless of the methods they used to escape, it proved that their civilization's strength was by no means weak!
As the two marveled at this, Dean Avery Knight's "battle" with the Destruction Demon God was drawing to a close.
Or, more accurately, Dean Avery Knight's one-sided, bloody beatdown of the unfortunate Destruction Demon God was about to end!
Though both his hands were still occupied stabilizing the spatial portal, preventing him from casting any complex spells,
It was clear that even in this soul-level clash, the Destruction Demon God was being utterly dominated.
Especially after the other wizards had finished observing the spectacle and finally flew forward to assist, jointly casting massive stability runes that completely stabilized the spatial portal.
Once Dean Avery Knight had both hands free, the battle's outcome was essentially sealed.
He plunged his hand directly into the pitch-black vortex!
In the next instant, Jieming witnessed a mass of black smoke, its form constantly twisting and indescribable, radiating an aura of boundless destruction, emitting a soul-wrenching scream as Dean Avery Knight forcibly yanked it out of the spatial portal like a stubborn radish.
The black smoke shrieked with unbearable agony, like a young girl surrounded by a hundred burly men.
Yet the overwhelming, terrifying pressure of law-level authority emanating from it revealed the creature's true power: an astonishing... eighth-tier being!
It was now undeniable: this black smoke was the so-called "Destruction Demon God"!
Judging by the creature's astonishing power level and the terrifying passive aura that instantly caused Jieming's body to feel as if it were decaying the moment it appeared, this being truly deserved the title of "Destruction Demon God"!
If left undisturbed and allowed to fully descend, this single entity could likely annihilate an entire plane cluster!
The next step, following standard procedure, would be to completely seal this eighth-tier Destruction Demon God, stabilize the spatial channel, and decipher the coordinates of its home world.
With that, the wizards could launch a new, immensely profitable planar war!
However, the Destruction Demon God was clearly aware of the fate that awaited it.
Since its arrival, it had been frantically attempting to transmit messages, trying to alert its civilization to the existence of a stable spatial channel leading to the wizard world.
But all its attempts were completely intercepted by Dean Avery Knight's invisible soul force field!
If this continued, its entire plane would be overrun by the locust-like wizards!
Realizing he was powerless to resist, his very soul firmly imprisoned by his opponent, a sudden surge of desperate, frenzied will erupted from his chaotic consciousness.
He couldn't help but unleash a despairing yet heroic howl: "Wizards! I won't let you succeed! I will... protect my world!"
Then, before Jieming's stunned eyes, the eighth-tier Destruction Demon God, bellowing slogans about "protection" and "hope," unhesitatingly initiated self-detonation!
Pure, pitch-black destruction power erupted from the heart of the dark mist.
This power was refined to its absolute essence, carrying a terrifying aura of annihilation capable of obliterating the entire plane.
"Tch! Troublesome creature!" Dean Avery Knight reacted with lightning speed.
With a cold snort and a swift backhand motion, he instantly conjured tens of thousands of multi-layered seals shimmering with soul radiance.
These seals, like layers of cages, forcibly contained the eighth-tier being's cataclysmic self-destruction within an infinitesimally small radius, preventing even the slightest outward expansion.
He even had the spare capacity to casually pluck fragments of the Destruction Demon God's origin essence from the core of the terrifying explosion.
