Chapter 301: Battle Rekindled

Dixon’s calm yet undeniable command, “Wipe them out,” was like ice water tossed into a boiling pot of oil, instantly igniting the entire scene!

The powerhouses of the Giant Spirit Realm were stunned at first, then erupted with towering rage.

They felt an unprecedented insult!

Not only had their “magnanimous” offer of recruitment been rejected, but the enemy even seemed intent on making a move!

Most infuriatingly, the gods of the Giant Spirit Realm had thought themselves sufficiently arrogant, yet these “natives” before them were even more audacious!

The apparent leader (Dixon) remained suspended in place, while the chilling shadow beyond the plane (Oboros) showed no movement.

Facing their fifty-plus seventh-rank “God Kings” were a mere twelve enemies, whose auras were clearly a step weaker?!

“Arrogant!”

“Crush them!”

The leading mechanical giant unleashed an enraged psychic roar, its massive frame moving first. It swung a colossal sword capable of cleaving mountains, summoning a torrential flood of energy that surged toward Barsa and the others!

The dozens of seventh-rank beings behind it attacked simultaneously. In an instant, destructive energy beams, solid projectiles, bizarre force fields, and law disruptions rained down like a collapsing sky on the twelve seemingly insignificant figures!

The powerhouses of the Giant Spirit Realm could already envision these ignorant “insects” reduced to ash under absolute power.

Yet, in the next moment, a scene that shattered the cognition of every Giant Spirit Realm native unfolded.

A terrifying energy tide capable of annihilating stars crashed into the defensive barrier erected by the twelve sixth-rank wizards—a barrier not of unbreakable shields, but a warped, shifting domain that seemed to contain infinite possibilities.

The energy flood plunged into it, only to vanish like mud into the sea, broken down layer by layer, deflected, absorbed, and ultimately dissipated into nothingness.

The twelve sixth-rank wizards, along with the space around them, emerged unscathed!

The Giant Spirit Realm’s assault faltered abruptly. Every seventh-rank being that had attacked fell into a brief stupor, their processors seemingly overloaded, emitting a wail of distress.

How could this be possible?!

“Hahaha! Exhilarating!”

Behind the defensive barrier, Barsa, having just downed a precious potion to restore himself to peak condition, let out a wild laugh.

His wizard robe billowed without wind, the Law of Soundwaves condensing into visible ripples around him.

“Our turn!”

Before his words faded, the twelve figures scattered like phantoms, charging into the enemy ranks!

Each sixth-rank wizard fearlessly faced four to five seventh-rank mechanical giants.

Barsa clapped his hands, sending invisible soundwaves that pierced through thick armor, directly targeting the delicate components and life cores of the operators within, causing two mechanical giants to freeze instantly, their energy circuits sparking chaotically.

Another wizard, adept in frost laws, turned a thousand-mile radius into an absolute-zero frozen prison with a wave of his hand.

The joints of three mechanical giants locked up, their movements halted, as if time itself had been forbidden.

Another unleashed a soul-piercing wail, bypassing physical defenses to assault the spirits of the native powerhouses…

The battle, from its outset, tilted overwhelmingly in one direction!

The seventh-rank powerhouses of the Giant Spirit Realm, despite their absolute advantage in rank and numbers, were forced into a steady retreat.

They could barely defend, with no strength to counterattack!

The wizards’ exquisite mastery of laws, their profound understanding of energy’s essence, and their endless array of eerie witchcraft completely upended the Giant Spirit Realm’s understanding of “power.”

High above, the clash of laws erupted like a supernova, with energy shockwaves raging like storms.

Whether it was the cannon fodder on the wizards’ side or the low-rank warships and mechanical units of the Giant Spirit Realm, all fled in terror from that deadly airspace.

Any unfortunate soul caught in the shockwaves, no matter how massive or heavily armored, was reduced to fundamental particles in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

Below, a grander tapestry of war had already unfurled.

“Form the phalanx!”

With the command issued, the descending wizard legion displayed astonishing discipline.

Under the command center’s direction, new ten-thousand-strong phalanxes swiftly assembled.

Witchcraft auras linked together, cloaking the soldiers in unified elemental armor.

Ribbons of pure elemental energy were drawn from the void, converging and coiling around the phalanxes, bolstering their offensive and defensive capabilities.

Two floating fortresses, like mobile war bastions, hovered at the legion’s center.

Their surfaces bristled with menacing main cannons and hundreds of secondary guns, glowing with a chilling light.

Terrifying energy amassed within, locking onto the distant enemy array, a metallic ocean in motion.

“Roar!!!”

“Shriek!”

Billions of cannon fodder monsters let out deafening roars, their grotesque forms baring claws and fangs.

Their eyes gleamed with destructive red light, like a black tide ready to burst.

“For the Giant Spirit Realm! For Korg!”

The Giant Spirit Realm’s side unleashed a defiant war cry, their sky-shrouding warships firing in unison, countless mechanical soldiers and bio-modified creatures charging like a swarm of metal locusts!

“Fire!”

“Attack!”

Almost simultaneously, both sides’ commanders issued the order for a full assault!

Buzz… BOOM!!!

The floating fortresses’ main cannons roared first.

Massive energy beams crossed vast distances in an instant, slamming into the enemy ranks, erupting into a destructive orb of light that briefly illuminated the entire battlefield, evaporating tens of thousands of units in a flash!

Next came the secondary cannons’ volleys, the wizards’ phalanx unleashing joint witchcraft strikes, and the cannon fodder legion clashing fiercely with the enemy vanguard!

Energy beams crisscrossed, explosions chained into a continuous blaze, dyeing the sky red and black.

Mechanical fragments, monstrous limbs, and shattered energy shields…

Corpses and debris rained down like a storm.

Both sides’ low-rank units were consumed at a staggering rate, with thousands of lives extinguished every second.

As the battle reached a fever pitch, the wizard and Giant Spirit Realm armies began to fracture, splitting into smaller legions entangled in chaotic skirmishes.

With the high skies dominated by the top-tier powerhouses’ battlefield, both sides’ mid- and low-tier forces instinctively descended toward the ground, seeking to open new fronts on the surface.

Jie Ming followed his wizard squad of fewer than a hundred, streaking like meteors through a sky woven with smoke and fire, diving toward the massive metallic city below.

The air was filled with howling winds, relentless explosions, and eerie shrieks.

“Watch that side!” a wizard specializing in reconnaissance suddenly warned.

The squad tensed, following his gaze.

On their flank, a Giant Spirit Realm legion of over ten thousand, composed of various flyers and mechanical soldiers, was intercepting them, led by a streamlined warship radiating sixth-rank energy fluctuations!

“Adjust course, crush them!” the squad’s fifth-rank wizard leader ordered coldly, without hesitation.

The nearly hundred wizards moved as one, instantly shifting their dive trajectory to meet the intercepting legion head-on.

The two forces collided fiercely in midair!

Witchcraft’s glow intertwined with energy cannon fire, law fluctuations resonating with the clang of metal.

The battle was intense but brief.

As the wizard squad pierced through the enemy ranks and continued their descent, they left behind only scattered metal debris and fading energy embers.

On the wizards’ side, a few unlucky or heavily targeted members had their protective witchcraft shattered, their figures vanishing in explosions.

Of the Giant Spirit Realm legion, only a handful of battered survivors escaped, the rest reduced to part of the rain of destruction.

The wizard squad maintained its speed, plunging toward the city’s surface.

The energy trails left by the descending wizards stood out starkly against the dim sky, heralding an apocalyptic arrival.

“Another group incoming!” another warning rang out.

Jie Ming’s gaze swept over, spotting a new, larger enemy force, a dense black mass.

But their energy fluctuations were generally weaker, incomparable to the elite sixth-rank warship-led group from before.

Without needing orders, the squad silently adjusted course, like sharks scenting blood, diving toward this “softer” target.

Due to the angle, Jie Ming found himself at the forefront of the charge!

Facing the rapidly approaching, densely packed enemy, Jie Ming’s eyes turned cold.

The [Great Radiance Formation] he had maintained behind him erupted with blinding, radiant light!

“Die!”

With a cold grunt, he swung his arm down.

Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo!!!

Hundreds of thousands of energy projectiles, like an enraged swarm of bees, poured from the [Great Radiance Formation].

They trailed scorching light, forming a storm of elemental destruction that instantly engulfed a vast swath of the airspace ahead.

No finesse, no flair—just pure, overwhelming saturation firepower!

The massive Giant Spirit Realm legion couldn’t even muster a proper resistance before being torn apart and evaporated in the barrage of destruction!

The explosions chained into a blazing inferno, as if igniting a brief, cruel sun in the sky.

In a single clash, the enemy legion was annihilated!

The attack ceased, and the [Great Light Array]’s glow slowly dimmed.

Jie Ming hovered in midair, his robe fluttering faintly in the energy aftermath.

Silence reigned around him.

His squadmates, including the fifth-rank leader and two fourth-rank wizards, stared at Jie Ming with unconcealed astonishment.

They knew this alchemy-specialized wizard was unique, but they hadn’t expected his instantaneous firepower to be so terrifying!

It far exceeded the scope of a typical fourth-rank wizard, its lethality against low-tier enemies rivaling a full strike from most fifth-rank wizards!

The fifth-rank leader and the two fourth-rank wizards exchanged a quick glance.

In the next moment, without a word, the squad’s formation naturally shifted.

The other wizards closed in toward the center, subtly guarding Jie Ming, while the fifth-rank wizard took the lead at the front.

“Continue descending!” the fifth-rank wizard commanded in a low voice.

The wizard squad reformed into a cohesive “meteor,” with Jie Ming at its core, crashing toward the steel jungle below with even greater momentum.
