Chapter 468

Surging elemental energy dyed the entire sky into a chaotic and magnificent ocean of colors.

Jie Ming also joined the army releasing wizardry.

He drew a circle in the air in front of his chest with his right hand, his fingertips carrying a faint light, and elemental power condensed into a complex three-dimensional structure in the air under the control of spiritual power, then collapsed inward, turning into a transparent armor as thin as a cicada's wing, fitting his skin.

【Return to Ruins Armor】, hand-cast version.

Immediately after, his left hand flicked continuously, and seven pre-engraved rune crystals flew out from his cuffs, exploded in the air, and turned into seven layers of different types of shields, nested layer by layer outside the Return to Ruins Armor. Reading novels every day is super great, ᴛᴛᴋs. ᴛᴡ is super awesome.

Finally, he chanted a few short syllables in a low voice, applying three blessing spells to himself: "Mind Acceleration," "Dynamic Vision Enhancement," and "Pain Dullness."

He only used two seconds to finish all this.

And the wizards around him also completed their preparations at almost the same time.

Looking around, the entire plain had become a galaxy composed of millions of moving light sources, each light spot representing a fully armed war wizard.

Just at this moment...

High in the sky, space twisted slightly.

Two figures appeared out of thin air.

On the left was a human male who looked about forty years old, with a simple face, gentle eyes, wearing a simple linen robe, and leaning on a wooden staff that looked like it had been broken from a tree at will.

But when he appeared, the elemental tides of the entire ship plane calmed down, as if paying tribute to some higher-level existence.

Wizard Nuolun.

The founder of Plane Nuolun Workshop, a Level 8 Great Wizard.

On the right was a young-looking man with silver hair and red eyes, wearing mechanical-style combat armor embedded with countless gears and pipes, with three slowly rotating metal rings floating behind him.

For a moment, Jie Ming almost didn't recognize Wizard Andong Buchanan.

After all, the other party was not in the image of a child or an old man he had seen before, but in the image of a young man in his prime.

The two stood in the air, not emitting any pressure, but naturally became the absolute center of the audience.

Wizard Nuolun raised his head and looked at a point in the void.

There was nothing there, but all wizards knew that he was sensing the exact moment specified by the Xinghuanlian Alliance.

Three seconds.

Two seconds.

One second.

He withdrew his gaze and waved his right hand casually toward the space crack in the distance.

The voice was not high, but it clearly and steadily reached the ears of every wizard present, as if whispering in their ears:

"Attack."

No pre-war mobilization, no impassioned slogans, only the simplest two words.

But it was enough.

"Hehehehehehe... I will pave the way for you!" Private Secretary Andong Buchanan hammered his fists together, and terrifying power stirred up a scorching gale in the high sky.

Wizard Nuolun and Andong Buchanan moved first.

The figures of the two Level 8 Great Wizards faded in place, and the next moment they appeared at the edge of the space crack, then stepped in and disappeared into the black energy turbulence.

Level 8 wizards, paving the way for the legion.

Following closely behind were the first batch of combat-type wizards.

Hundreds of thousands of light spots rose into the sky at the same time, like a retrograde meteor shower, dragging tails of various colors and shooting toward the crack.

They were the first combat sequence, all combat-type wizards who were good at frontal breakthroughs, group combat, and law hedging.

Their task was to establish a front-line position at the first moment, resist the enemy's first-hand attacks, and strive for space for subsequent troops to deploy.

Jie Ming watched silently as the first batch of legions disappeared into the crack, and began to count down in his heart.

Thirty seconds later, the second batch—long-range strike and support sequence rose into the sky.

Another thirty seconds, the third batch—control and interference sequence.

Then, it was their turn.

"Keep up."

Ke La Ke's voice sounded.

He took a step, and the space under his feet folded automatically, supporting him to fly forward steadily.

Wei Ao followed closely, her dark purple figure drawing an elegant arc in the air.

Jie Ming took a deep breath and activated the levitation runes built into the wizard robe.

His body slowly left the ground, then accelerated.

The wizards around him were also rising in sync, forming a huge formation, flying toward the crack spanning the sky.

The wind whistled in his ears, and the ground below retreated rapidly.

The crack magnified rapidly in his field of vision.

The energy turbulence flowing at the edge was clearly visible; those were law wounds caused by the violent tearing of the space structure, and every flicker of light represented the vibration of hundreds of millions of space strings in an instant.

Jie Ming could feel that all the wizarding tools on his body were slightly hot.

They were adapting to environmental changes, adjusting output power, and preparing to deal with high-intensity impacts that might arrive in an instant.

Finally, they arrived at the edge of the crack.

Without hesitation, Jie Ming plunged in.

An instantaneous sense of weightlessness came.

Vision was filled with twisted black.

A sharp space friction noise sounded in his ears, like hundreds of millions of pieces of glass scraping at the same time.

His body seemed to be elongated, compressed, and rotated—this is a normal phenomenon when passing through an unstable space channel.

The duration was very short.

About 0.3 seconds later, light appeared in front.

Jie Ming rushed out.

His feet felt gravity again, his vision returned to clarity, and the noise in his ears subsided.

He looked around at the first moment.

Desolation.

Extreme desolation.

This was Jie Ming's first impression.

The ground was almost flat grey-white, as if it had been repeatedly crushed by a giant grinder countless times.

There were no undulations, no hills, no river valleys, not even a protruding stone.

The ground material looked like a mixture of some kind of slag, hard, dry, and devoid of vitality.

The sky was a depressing leaden grey, with no clouds, no sun, only evenly scattered dim sky light.

The elemental concentration in the air was pitifully low, and even the most basic flame was difficult to maintain combustion.

This is the "super-large abandoned plane" provided by the Xinghuanlian Alliance.

It is pieced together from dozens of plane fragments whose resources have been completely exhausted; organic matter, mineral elements, and free energy in every inch of soil have been extracted cleanly, an absolute dead land where even microorganisms cannot survive.

This information flashed through Jie Ming's mind instantly, and at the same time, his body instinctively began to adjust his posture, preparing to land.

Just at this moment.

The reconnaissance magic arrays on his chest, abdomen, and back issued a sharp warning buzz at the same time!

Too late to think.

The already cast protective wizardry was faster than consciousness.

The Return to Ruins Armor was automatically activated to maximum power, and the seven-layer shield contracted inward, trying to form the densest defensive layer.

But the intensity and effect of the attack far exceeded expectations.

The seven-layer shield Jie Ming had previously released had no protective effect at all, and only the Return to Ruins Armor provided protection.

The moment it came into contact with that invisible attack, the Return to Ruins Armor flickered violently.

That transparent armor, which could immunize against Level 5 energy attacks and withstand Level 6 continuous bombardment, only lasted for 0.01 seconds.

Then, it shattered like a soap bubble.

Jie Ming only felt a huge crisis squeezing from all directions at the same time, and the touch of death coldly stuck to his skin.

Then, the invisible barrier that had been surrounding Jie Ming's body shone brightly, forcibly blocking the unknown attack.

But because of this sudden attack, the elemental environment around him was completely disordered due to the high-intensity aftermath, he lost control of the levitation runes, and his body rolled and rotated uncontrollably.

Vision spun.

Finally, what he saw was the grey-white dead earth magnifying rapidly.

Then...

Boom!!!
