In the void, bizarre and chaotic energy currents swirled like a boiling ocean.
The Wizard Army, a surging tide of countless Alchemy Creations, elemental lifeforms, and Contractual Creatures, relentlessly pushed the Giant Spirit Realm forces toward their planar barrier, the very foundation of their existence.
The kaleidoscopic brilliance of Wizard spells clashed with the Giant Spirit Realm Battleships' crude energy cannon fire and the savage breath of giant beasts, erupting into waves of annihilation.
The Giant Spirit Realm forces displayed astonishing resilience.
Even as their battle lines contracted and their formations were repeatedly shattered, they showed no signs of collapse. Moreover, warships forged from unknown metals and mountain-sized giant beasts continued to pour forth from the massive breach in the plane's barrier below, forming what appeared to be an impenetrable final defense with their bodies and energy.
In a corner of this chaotic battlefield, Jieming hovered in the void, surrounded by the mangled remains of Giant Spirit Realm creatures recently dragged back. Strange elemental fluctuations still lingered around the corpses.
Runes flickered incessantly in his eyes as the Universal Eye continuously gathered elemental data from the creatures before him, analyzing the elemental composition of the plane below.
Having collected sufficient data, Jieming activated his alchemy.
Fine strands of mental power, as precise as the sharpest carving tools, danced around Jieming's fingertips as he swiftly adjusted the fingernail-sized, crystal-like rune-imbued magical artifacts hovering before him.
Soon, the runes etched on the artifacts' surfaces began to glow faintly, their energy resonance frequencies synchronizing with the plane's rules emanating from the Giant Spirit Realm.
"Almost there," Jieming murmured to himself, blinking as the runes in his eyes gradually receded.
Glancing at his fellow wizards struggling to advance, he immediately pulled out his terminal and transmitted the elemental data he had just acquired to everyone in the area.
The other wizards' eyes lit up as they received the data, and they began adjusting their spellcasting rhythms accordingly.
With a thought, Jieming's will stirred, causing the void behind him to ripple violently. Thousands of rune-imbued magical artifacts, now fully adapted to the environment, surged forth from his internal space.
In an instant, they unfolded into a massive and intricate circular arrayâthe Great Light Phase!
At the array's core, three metal discs rotated slowly, radiating waves of energy as potent as a small elemental pool.
The next moment, the silence shattered.
The Great Light Phase transformed into a raging fountain, unleashing hundreds of thousands of searing energy bullets every second!
These energy bullets, optimized with golden core realm talismanic seals, each possessed the destructive power of a third-tier spell.
Trailing long, luminous tails like streaks of light rain, the energy bullets slammed into the Giant Spirit Realm's warship formations and charging giant beasts with terrifying precision and ferocity.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boomâ
Explosions erupted in a continuous chain, instantly clearing vast swathes of the battlefield.
A shuttle-shaped warship attempting to break through the lines was struck by tens of thousands of energy bullets in rapid succession. Its thick energy shield shattered like paper, and the warship itself was blasted into fragments.
A manta ray-like giant beast with a wingspan of a kilometer opened its massive maw to unleash a breath attack, only to be engulfed by a dense barrage of energy bullets. Half its body was reduced to ash.
In this chaotic void, where elemental fury raged and energy flowed endlessly, Jieming's Great Light Phase had found its perfect stage.
He recklessly drew upon the surrounding energy, supplementing it with the reserves of his Core Disc, unleashing his full firepower as if endlessly spewing forth destruction.
This terrifying sustained area-of-effect attack immediately drew the attention of nearby wizards.
Some wizards, who had been fighting independently, instinctively began to converge toward Jieming's position.
The cannon fodder units under their commandâStone Golems, Ghost Legions, Crystal Cluster Creatures, and moreânaturally gravitated toward the Great Light Phase's fire zone, forming a temporary combat system with Jieming at its core.
Among the wizards were many third-tier and even fourth-tier practitioners, yet Jieming, a second-tier wizard, had become the tactical linchpin of the battlefield in this precinct.
Under the powerful impetus of the Great Light Phase, the wizard legion's frontline surged forward once more, relentlessly advancing.
After breaching another layer of defenses, the wizards could now glimpse through the spatial barrier the vast, boundless metal continent below, shimmering with countless energy glows within the Giant Spirit Realm Plane.
However, just as they approached the continent's upper atmosphere, their advance ground to a halt before an Energy Hub protected by layers upon layers of colossal fortresses and energy shields.
This was the final defensive line on the outer perimeter of the Giant Spirit Realm Plane, where the distance reinforcements needed to traverse had been reduced to its absolute minimum.
Consequently, the intensity of resistance at this line had increased exponentially.
Swarming like bees, small, high-speed fighters coordinated with massive energy beams fired from fortresses and several colossal defensive beasts whose carapaces glowed with flowing runes, forming an impenetrable wall of iron and steel.
The wizards' cannon fodder units crashed against this barrier like waves against a reef, rapidly depleting their numbers.
Occasionally, energy beams pierced through the layers of defenses, vaporizing wizards and their protective artifacts alike, leaving behind only a brief scream and dissipating energy particles.
The wizards' offensive had been completely halted. Under the relentless counterattack of the Giant Spirit Realm's reinforcements, their lines began to waver, showing signs of being pushed back.
Jieming frowned.
Through the wide-area perception of his scouting eye, he could clearly "see" the battlefield's rapidly depleting energy and the swift losses of his own units.
"We can't drag this out any longer..." he calculated mentally. "The longer we wait, the more reinforcements they'll mobilize. It'll only become harder to break through later."
"More importantly, if a seventh-tier wizard gets impatient and intervenes personally, we might achieve an instant breakthrough. But according to the principle of 'equivalent exchange,' we can forget about claiming the lion's share of the spoils of war and military merits. This mission's profits would be drastically reduced."
Even without considering the other wizards, Jieming alone had lost tens of thousands of rune-imbued magical artifacts to overheating during the battle.
If not for the Portable Factory's constant replenishment, his Great Light Phase might have collapsed entirely.
Failure would mean a net loss!
In a flash of thought, he made his decision.
With a wave of his hand, Jieming distorted the void beside him once more, and five hundred pitch-black figures silently materialized.
Their bodies were entirely black, covered in a liquid metal layer that seemed to devour all light, radiating an icy chill.
These were Jieming's trump card creations: the Black Giants!
Leading the charge were two colossal figures, each towering over fifty meters tall, resembling silent, black mountain ranges.
These were the only two survivors from Jieming's earliest batch of Black Giants, forged in countless battles and refined through endless consumption.
After the battle in the Void Domain Plane, they had spent the past four hundred years continuously absorbing energy, their energy signatures now reaching an astonishing fifth-tier level!
It was no exaggeration to say that even Jieming himself, their master, would likely be unable to withstand a single strike from these behemoths.
"Go forth and tear it apart!" Jieming commanded through their soul connection.
The five hundred Black Giants instantly coalesced, with the two Level 5 Black Giants spearheading the assault. They transformed into a black tidal wave, surging directly toward the seemingly impenetrable defensive line!
The overwhelming aura of the Level 5 Black Giants immediately caught the attention of the giant spirit realm's defenders, who quickly identified this massive, aggressive strike force.
The defensive commander clearly mistook them for some kind of powerful assault giant beasts or special units, immediately unleashing the full force of their firepower.
In an instant, massive, searing beams of energy capable of vaporizing high-tier metals, high-energy particle streams, and destructive energy beams from the citadel's main cannons converged into a cataclysmic torrent of energy, completely engulfing the charging Black Giant swarm!
The intense burst of light forced many wizards to instinctively squint.
However, what followed left all witnesses, especially the Giant Spirit Realm commander, in a state of incomprehensible shock.
Within the raging energy torrent, the five hundred black figures not only remained unscathed, but their liquid black energy layers surged like ravenous sponges, frantically devouring the incoming light and heat!
The flame beams charged them, the high-energy particle streams were absorbed, and the qi of the two leading Level 5 Black Giants surged relentlessly, growing even more terrifying and profound!
They... had emerged unscathed from the enemy's most devastating assault, and had actually grown stronger!
Just as the enemy commander's mind short-circuited from this utterly illogical spectacle, another anomaly erupted!
Beneath the flowing black metal layer covering the Black Giants' bodies, countless microscopic clock hands seemed to spin wildly, accelerating to a frenzied pace.
An invisible and eerie force field radiated outward from them.
Temporal Chaos activated!
The time flow around the Black Giant swarm suddenly accelerated, while the enemies blocking their pathâthe fighter jets, the citadel's cannons, and even the swirling energy shieldâwere subjected to a powerful deceleration field, freezing them in place.
Whoosh!
The black tide surged forward with explosive speed, defying the laws of physics and surpassing the enemy's visual and reaction limits. As if teleporting, they smashed through the momentarily weakened energy shieldâits commander paralyzed by shockâand instantly breached the Energy Hub's core region.
Then, without warning or giving the enemy any time to react...
BOOM!!!!
An unprecedented explosion, its brilliance briefly eclipsing even the surrounding battlefield's light, erupted from within the Energy Hub!
It was the collective self-destruction of five hundred Black Giants, including two Level 5 Black Giants.
They unleashed the vast energy they had absorbed and stored, transforming it into the purest, most violent destructive shockwave.
The sturdy fortress structure crumbled like a sandcastle, and the vital Energy Hub was instantly blasted into a massive, ever-expanding breach filled with chaotic energy storms.
The shockwave from the explosion cleared a vast swath through the densely packed Giant Spirit Realm defenders.
The defensive line... had been breached!
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the wizards reacted with renewed vigor, their eyes blazing with excitement.
"A breach! Charge through!"
"Follow me! Victory is within reach!"
No further command was needed. The experienced wizards immediately seized this fleeting opportunity.
They skillfully unleashed their massive cannon fodder units, like a flood bursting through a dam, surging through the gap created by the Black Giants' self-destruction and overwhelming the enemy's defenses.
The planar barrier of the Giant Spirit Realm was now within striking distance!
Jieming hovered in place, watching the massive breach and the surging tide of wizards pouring through it. He exhaled softly.
Instead of immediately joining the advance, he used the internal core markers to locate all the self-destructed Black Giants' cores.
After taking some time to fully retrieve them into his internal space, he waited for them to reshape and replenish their energy.
