Chapter 295: Tearing Through the Defensive Line

In the void, bizarre and chaotic energy turbulence surged like a boiling ocean.

The torrent formed by the wizard army, carrying countless alchemical creations, elemental lifeforms, and contracted beasts of various shapes, steadily forced the Giant Spirit Realm's armies back toward the planar barrier they relied on for survival.

Colorful wizardry light intertwined and collided with the crude energy artillery fire of the Giant Spirit Realm's warships and the savage breaths of giant beasts, exploding into ripples of destruction.

The armies of the Giant Spirit Realm indeed possessed astonishing resilience.

Even as the battle line constantly contracted and their formations were repeatedly torn apart, there was still no sign of collapse.

Moreover, warships cast from unknown metals and giant beasts as massive as mountains continued to pour out endlessly from the gaps in the barrier of the vast realm below.

With their bodies and energy, they constructed a final defensive line that appeared impregnable.

In one corner of this chaotic battlefield, Gao Jie Ming hovered in the void, with several corpses of Giant Spirit Realm creatures recently dragged back floating beside him, still shrouded in unfamiliar elemental fluctuations.

Runes constantly flashed in his eyes as the All-Purpose Eye continuously collected elemental information regarding the creatures before him, thereby analyzing the elemental data of the realm below.

After gathering sufficient data, Gao Jie Ming activated his alchemy.

Fine spiritual power swirled around his fingertips like the most precise carving knife, rapidly adjusting a series of fingernail-sized, crystal-like rune wizard tools floating before him.

Soon, the runes on the surfaces of these rune wizard tools glowed faintly, their energy traction frequency beginning to synchronize with the planar rules dissipating from the Giant Spirit Realm.

"Almost there," Gao Jie Ming murmured softly, blinking as the runes in his eyes slowly faded.

Glancing at his wizard colleagues struggling to advance nearby, he immediately pulled out his terminal and transmitted the elemental data he had just obtained to everyone in the area.

Upon receiving this data, the other wizards' eyes lit up, and they began adjusting their spellcasting rhythms.

With a thought, Gao Jie Ming caused the void behind him to ripple suddenly, and thousands of rune wizard tools, modified for adaptation, surged out from his internal space.

They instantly expanded, forming a huge and intricate circular array—the 【Great Da Guang Xiang】!

At the core of the array, three metal discs rotated slowly, emitting surging energy fluctuations akin to a small elemental pool.

The next second, silence was broken.

The 【Great Da Guang Xiang】 seemed to transform into a violent fountain, pouring out tens of thousands of scorching energy projectiles every second!

These energy projectiles, optimized by Jin Dan realm rune seals, each remarkably reached the threshold of a third-tier wizard spell.

Dragging long trails of light, they rained down like a storm of photons, precisely and violently smashing into the warship formations and charging giant beasts of the Giant Spirit Realm—Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosive orbs of light merged into a continuous sheet, instantly clearing a vast area; a spindle-shaped warship attempting to charge was hit consecutively by tens of thousands of energy projectiles, its thick energy shield shattering like paper, tearing the hull apart.

A giant beast resembling a bat with a wingspan of a thousand meters had just opened its massive mouth to brew its breath when it was submerged by the dense barrage, half its body turning to ash.

In this chaotic void where elements ran wild and energy was inexhaustible, Gao Jie Ming's 【Great Da Guang Xiang】 found its perfect stage.

It recklessly drew energy from the environment, and combined with the reserves of its core discs, it unleashed full firepower, seemingly ceaselessly devouring and spewing destruction.

This terrifying effect of sustained area bombardment immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding wizards.

Some wizards, who had previously fought individually, unconsciously began moving toward Gao Jie Ming's position.

The cannon fodder troops they commanded—rock golems, ghost legions, crystal cluster creatures, and others—naturally surrounded the fire coverage area of the 【Great Da Guang Xiang】, constructing a temporary combat system with Gao Jie Ming at its core.

Among these wizards were many of third or even fourth tier, yet at this moment, Gao Jie Ming, a second-tier wizard, had evidently become the tactical pivot of the battlefield in this region.

The front line of the wizard legion in this area, strongly boosted by the 【Great Da Guang Xiang】, pushed forward fiercely once again.

After breaking through another layer of defense, the wizards could vaguely see, through the spatial barrier, the boundless metal continent below within the Giant Spirit Realm, shimmering with countless energy glints.

However, just as they approached the sky above the continent, in front of an energy hub protected by layers of colossal fortresses and energy shields, the offensive came to an abrupt halt.

Here was the final outer defensive line of the Giant Spirit Realm, where the distance supporting armies needed to cross had been shortened to the extreme.

This resulted in the intensity of resistance at this defensive line increasing exponentially.

Small high-speed fighter jets, dense as a swarm of bees, combined with thick energy beams fired from the fortresses and several exceptionally large defensive giant beasts whose shells flowed with rune luster, constructed an iron wall.

The wizards' cannon fodder troops crashed against it like waves hitting a reef, rapidly being consumed.

Occasionally, energy rays even penetrated layers of defense, vaporizing wizards who failed to dodge in time along with their protective wizard tools, leaving behind only a brief scream and dissipating energy particles.

The wizards' offensive was completely contained; moreover, under the counterattack of the endless fresh troops from the Giant Spirit Realm, the wizards' battle line began to waver, showing signs of being pushed back.

Gao Jie Ming frowned.

Through the wide-area perception of his Surveying Eye, he could clearly "see" the drastic consumption of battlefield energy and the rapid loss of his own units.

"We can't drag this out any longer," he calculated inwardly. "The longer time drags on, the more reinforcements the enemy can mobilize, making it harder to break through later."

"More importantly, if a seventh-tier wizard loses patience and personally intervenes, they could break through instantly, but according to the principle of 'Equivalent Exchange,' we can forget about claiming the majority of the spoils and military merit; the profits from this mission would be greatly diminished."

Not to mention the other wizards, but Gao Jie Ming alone had already lost over ten thousand rune wizard tools destroyed by overheating during this battle.

Were it not for his mobile factory continuously helping to replenish them, his 【Great Da Guang Xiang】 behind him would likely have collapsed long ago.

If this failed, it would be a losing proposition!

As thoughts raced through his mind, he made his decision.

Gao Jie Ming waved his hand, and the void beside him twisted again as five hundred dark figures silently materialized.

They were pitch-black, their bodies covered in a flowing layer of liquid metal that seemed to devour all light, emitting a bone-chilling cold.

They were precisely Gao Jie Ming's trump card creations: the Black Giants!

The two leading them exceeded fifty meters in size, resembling two silent black mountains.

They were the only two survivors from the earliest batch of Black Giants Gao Jie Ming had created, having undergone numerous battles and acts of devouring.

After the battle in the Sky Realm plane and four hundred years of ceaselessly devouring energy, the energy fluctuations emanating from them had remarkably reached the astonishing fifth-tier level!

It was no exaggeration to say that even Gao Jie Ming, their master, would likely not withstand a single strike from these two Black Giants.

"Go, tear it open!" Gao Jie Ming issued the command through their soul connection.

The five hundred Black Giants instantly gathered, with the two fifth-tier Black Giants forming the spearhead, transforming into a black torrent that charged straight toward that impregnable defensive line!

The aura of the fifth-tier Black Giants was too prominent; the Giant Spirit Realm's defenders immediately spotted this large and imposing assault force.

The line commander evidently mistook them for some powerful assault-type giant beasts or special units and without hesitation mobilized the strongest firepower.

In an instant, various thick scorching rays, high-energy particle beams capable of vaporizing high-grade metal instantly, and destructive energy pillars fired from the fortress main cannons converged into a devastating energy torrent, completely swallowing the charging Black Giant cluster!

The intense light erupted from the energy explosion caused many wizards to instinctively squint their eyes.

However, the scene that followed plunged all witnesses, especially the commanders of the Giant Spirit Realm, into incomprehensible stupor.

Amid the torrent of energy, those five hundred black figures were not only undestroyed, but the black liquid energy layer on their surfaces instead devoured the incoming light and heat like starving sponges!

The flame beams charged them, the high-energy particle streams were absorbed by them, and the auras of the two leading Level Five Black Giants even soared step by step amidst this energy baptism, becoming more terrifying and profound!

They emerged from the enemy's strongest attack unscathed, yet grew even stronger!

Just as the enemy commanders' minds froze at this scene that completely defied common sense, another sudden change occurred!

Beneath the flowing black metal layer on the surfaces of all the Black Giants, it seemed as if countless tiny clock hands were spinning frantically faster and faster.

An invisible and bizarre field spread out from them as the center: 【Chronological Disorder】, activated!

The flow of time for the Black Giant cluster was suddenly accelerated, while the enemies blocking their path—those fighter jets, the muzzles of fortress cannons, and even the circulation speed of energy shields—were interfered with by a powerful deceleration and brought to a standstill!

Whoosh—!

The speed of the black torrent surged explosively, moving at a pace that surpassed physical common sense and exceeded the limits of the enemy's vision and reaction, smashing through that layer of energy shield, which had momentarily lagged due to the commanders' stupor, as if teleporting, and instantly penetrating into the internal core region of the Energy Hub!

Immediately after, without any warning and giving the enemy no time to react—Boom!!!!

A terrifying explosion of unprecedented scale, whose brightness even briefly overshadowed the light of the surrounding battlefield, erupted violently from within the Energy Hub!

It was the collective self-detonation of the five hundred Black Giants, especially the two Level Five Black Giants!

They unleashed the vast majority of the energy they had absorbed and stored, transforming it into the purest, most violent shockwave of destruction.

The sturdy fortress structures crumbled like sand sculptures, and that crucial Energy Hub was instantly blasted into a massive, expanding gap filled with a chaotic storm of energy.

The aftermath of the explosion even cleared a huge swath of the densely packed Giant Spirit Realm defenders in the surrounding area.

The defensive line had been torn open!

After a brief silence, the Wizards who had recovered their senses became greatly invigorated, their eyes bursting with excited light.

"The gap! Charge in!"

"Follow up! Victory is right before our eyes!"

Needing no further commands, the experienced Wizards immediately seized this fleeting opportunity.

They skillfully drove massive waves of cannon fodder creatures, like a flood breaching a dam, surging through the gap opened by the Black Giants' self-detonation and overwhelmingly crushing the opponent's defensive line.

The planar barrier of the Giant Spirit Realm was now within reach!

Gao Jie Ming hovered in place, watching the massive explosion gap and the surging torrent of Wizards rushing in, and gently exhaled a breath.

He did not follow the team immediately, but instead located the cores of all the self-detonated Black Giants based on the markers within his core.

Spending a little time to fully recover them into his internal space, he awaited their reshaping and energy replenishment.
