Chapter 486: Calm and Crushing

Hum...

A low humming sound, as if the whole world was trembling, sounded without warning.

The Chaos Secret Sect wizard's movements paused violently.

He looked up in astonishment, looking around.

I saw that with the lava basin as the center, the light within a radius of ten kilometers began to twist weirdly.

The sky became blurred, the ground became illusory, and even the energy condensed in his palm began to fluctuate and dissipate uncontrollably.

It was as if an invisible giant hand had gently picked up this area from "reality" and then... kneaded it at will.

"What?!"

The Chaos Secret Sect wizard's pupils contracted, and the smile on his face disappeared for the first time.

Replacing it was a kind of indescribable horror.

Because he felt an aura.

A cold, calm, yet carrying a certain absolute "sense of domination" aura was slowly descending from a certain direction far away.

That aura was not powerful—at least judging from the energy intensity, it was at most Tier 5, definitely not Tier 6.

But for some reason, the moment he was locked by that aura, all the hair on his body stood up, and crazy alarms came from deep in his soul:

Danger! Danger! Danger!!!

"Who?!!!"

He turned his head violently, looking in the direction the aura came from, roaring hoarsely.

At the same time, his body instinctively began to twist, that was the space jump wizardry he was preparing to launch for life-saving, immediately fleeing this area!

But, it was too late.

At the very same instant he turned, roared, and started casting the spell...

A light appeared.

Dark golden light.

Scorching, yet cold.

It appeared quietly on the horizon far away, at first just a little faint light, like the first morning star in the darkest moment before dawn.

Then, it was just like ordinary light.

It crossed a distance of at least a hundred kilometers in an instant and appeared in front of the Chaos Secret Sect wizard.

It gently "tapped" on the Chaos Secret Sect wizard's body that was twisting.

Sss.

An understated sound.

Like a hot knife cutting through butter.

All the protective wizardry, all the curse rituals, all the spatial ripples that were being stimulated on the Chaos Secret Sect wizard's body...

The moment they came into contact with the dark golden light, they all "stopped."

It was as if those wizardries, rituals, and ripples were false hallucinations from the beginning, and now they were touched by the real "reality," and they vanished into thin air.

Then, the light continued to move forward.

Penetrated the defense, penetrated the flesh, penetrated the soul.

The Chaos Secret Sect wizard's expression froze on his face.

That was a mixture of astonishment, confusion, and the despair finally reacted to at the last moment.

He wanted to say something, but his vocal cords had disappeared.

He wanted to do something, but his body no longer existed.

The dark golden light "brushed" past his body, and wherever it passed, flesh, bone, internal organs, energy, soul... all elements constituting his "existence" "disappeared" silently.

It was like someone using an eraser to gently erase a line on a pencil drawing.

Simple, clean, thorough.

When the dark golden light disappeared, the position where the Chaos Secret Sect wizard stood was empty.

No bloodstains, no remains, no energy residue.

Dead silence.

Above the lava basin, only the gurgling sound of magma rolling and heavy breathing remained.

The Tower of Extinction wizard turned his head stiffly at this moment, his neck making a "click" sound, as if rusty gears were turning.

He looked in the direction the dark golden light was emitted.

Far away, a figure was flying slowly.

Then, it stopped at a position about one kilometer away from the Tower of Extinction wizard.

That was a male wizard who looked very young.

Grey combat wizard robe, without any decoration, black hair and black eyes, his face was ordinary among wizards, belonging to the kind that couldn't be found if thrown into a crowd.

But at this moment, no one would think he was "ordinary."

The Tower of Extinction wizard subconsciously looked into the other party's eyes.

Because, those eyes... were too calm.

Calm like an ancient well with no bottom, reflecting no emotion, reflecting no ripples.

He looked at the Tower of Extinction wizard, there was no hostility in his eyes, no killing intent, not even the meaning of "gaze."

It was as if what he was looking at was not a Tier 5 peak enemy, but an insignificant item placed there.

That absolute indifference made the Tower of Extinction wizard feel a bone-chilling chill from deep in his soul.

Monster...

He roared in his heart.

This is absolutely not an ordinary Tier 5 wizard!

Absolutely not!

But before he could make any reaction...

That grey-robed wizard raised his hand again.

Index finger extended, pointing at the Plane Nuolun workshop wizard who had turned into tentacles in the lava basin below.

"Wait... don't!"

Amidst the female wizard's exclamation, a dark golden light mass condensed on the young wizard's fingertip again.

However, the light emitted was slightly off, the target was not the tentacle body, but the area next to it.

There, there was a small, inconspicuous mass of dark red flesh and blood that was quietly seeping into the ground.

That was the "backhand" left by the Chaos Secret Sect wizard at the end, a high-level flesh regeneration wizardry, as long as a small piece of flesh and blood escaped, he could reshape his body elsewhere.

But at this moment, the dark golden light appeared again.

It gently "tapped" on that mass of flesh and blood.

Poof.

The flesh and blood turned into a wisp of blue smoke and was completely annihilated.

"No..."

The desperate scream flashed and disappeared, and then, completely subsided.

The Chaos Secret Sect wizard was... completely wiped out.

From body to soul, not a trace left.

After doing all this, the grey-robed wizard turned his head slowly.

Those terrifyingly calm eyes looked at the Tower of Extinction wizard faintly.

It was this one look.

That made the Tower of Extinction wizard completely... crazy.

"Uh ah ah!!!"

He let out a beast-like roar, his face under the mask twisted to the extreme.

Fear? Anger? Despair?

No, it was a mixture of all these emotions, plus the final... madness.

"No matter who you are!!! No matter what monster you are!!!"

He roared, pressing his hands violently on his chest:

"You are just a Tier 5 wizard!!!"

"Die... for me!!!"

Boom!!!

Violent energy exploded from his body.

Left hand, scorching light.

Right hand, deep darkness.

Two completely opposite, conflicting energies were forcibly compressed and mixed by him, and then... all injected into his own body.

His body began to glow, the two energies clashed, annihilated, and released terrifying energy turbulence in his body.

Skin cracked, muscles expanded, bones deformed.

His body size expanded several times in just two seconds, turning into an eight-meter-high "energy giant" that was half light and half dark.

Violent energy turbulence raged on his body surface, forming destructive energy storms, blowing the surrounding lava away.

The terrifying aura soared into the sky, even triggering small-scale spatial tremors, emitting harsh sonic booms.

"See it!!!"

On the "head" of the energy giant, on that face that could no longer see the human form, a crack split open, emitting a deafening roar:

"This is my power!!!"

"Have you seen it?!!!"

"Be afraid!!!"

"Be terrified!!!"

Every time he roared, the energy fluctuation on his body became more violent, and the surrounding space twisted.

"That's right!!! Even I have to feel fear for such power!"

He raised his giant hand that had turned into an energy body, pointing at the grey-robed wizard:

"This is the real..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Because the grey-robed wizard interrupted him.

Not with an attack, but with a sentence.

A very light, very calm mutter:

"Just simply increasing one's own energy intensity..."

Jie Ming tilted his head slightly, looking at the energy giant in front of him who was full of momentum and seemed to be able to destroy the world, a flash of disappointment in his eyes.

"Boring."

He spat out two words lightly.

Then, raised his right hand.

Index finger extended.

Pointed at the energy giant.

On the fingertip, a little dark golden light quietly lit up.

The energy giant was stunned.

He looked at Jie Ming blankly, looking at the grey-robed figure who was motionless in the violent energy storm, looking at those terrifyingly calm eyes, looking at that... index finger that seemed to be able to "erase" everything at any time.

An absurd sense of unreality welled up in his heart.

This guy... said what?

Boring?

He said... boring?!

"You!!!"

The energy giant wanted to roar, wanted to howl, wanted to blast all the energy in his body out at once, blowing this arrogant scum into ashes.

But, the dark golden light had descended.

Jie Ming chose to change the Li Huo Mie Jue Divine Light to range attack mode this time.

So, a piece of dark golden light poured down from the sky like an inverted ocean, completely submerging the energy giant.

The energy giant roared and tried to struggle, but it had no effect.

Wherever the light reached, the energy was extinguished.

The huge energy body, like snow under the sun, silently melted.

Starting from the fingertips, to the arms, to the torso, to the head.

Bit by bit, it turned into the most basic light points and dissipated in the air.

The whole process was terrifyingly quiet.

The last scene the energy giant saw was that boundless dark golden light, and deep in the light... those calm eyes.

Then, consciousness was extinguished.

The light dissipated.

Above the lava basin, calm was restored.

The position where the Tower of Extinction wizard stood was empty.

Jie Ming slowly withdrew his hand.

The dark golden light on his fingertip quietly faded.

He turned around and looked to the other side.

That female wizard was looking at him blankly, her face full of disbelief, shock, and... fear.

And the male wizard who was still maintaining the tentacle state, but with a huge hole remaining in his chest, was also staring at him with unfocused eyes.

Jie Ming looked at them and nodded.

Then, nodded gently.

"Mission accomplished."

He said calmly.

"The enemy has been cleared, you can retreat."
