Chapter 520

If this could go on—

Theoretically, he could rely on the almost infinite energy support of his internal cave heaven to wear the opponent out until the end of time!

Until the resources stored by this Tier 6 wizard were worn dry!

At that time, reversing the offense and defense was not impossible!

This was his only chance of victory!

However—

This tempting thought had just arisen when it was extinguished by the coldness of reality!

Gao Jie Ming's expression sank imperceptibly.

"Here—is the area belonging to the enemy."

From the beginning of the battle until now, this black-robed wizard, perhaps out of absolute confidence in his own strength, or perhaps thinking he could quickly end the battle, had not called for reinforcements.

But the battle had dragged on until now, and a "long" ten minutes had passed!

As long as the opponent wasn't a fool, he must have realized by now that he couldn't take him down quickly one-on-one!

Then—

A distress signal had likely already been sent!

Even, reinforcements might already be on the way!

If he continued to drag it out, what he would wait for would not be the exhaustion of the opponent's resources, but more likely more and stronger enemies! Once trapped in a heavy siege, even if he evolved to be stronger and regenerated faster, there would be absolutely no way out!

"Cannot drag it out anymore—" Gao Jie Ming's sense of urgency rose sharply, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

"—should I try to 'Turn into Light' and escape?" This thought surfaced again.

But the risk of using 'Turn into Light' was very high!

Gao Jie Ming didn't expect to rely on 'Turn into Light' to escape from the opponent's hands; he just wasn't sure what kind of result would be presented when he used 'Turn into Light' to escape.

It would be fine if he could effectively change his position after being intercepted by the opponent—

If even the process of escaping was "skipped" by the opponent, and he remained in place after being intercepted, then after 'Turn into Light', he would consume a large amount of spiritual power and spiritual sense, which would be disadvantageous to him!

Gao Jie Ming, while engaging in a dazzling and intense counter-attack with the black-robed wizard, with constant explosions and overflowing energy as fists and palms met, was weighing the pros and cons in his mind rapidly, his expression changing constantly.

Above the battlefield, energy storms howled.

Deep in the earth, rock layers continued to collapse.

Two figures intertwined frantically in this purgatory-like battlefield, every collision erupting with terrifying power enough to tear space!

But Gao Jie Ming's heart sank lower and lower—

Hum—Boom boom boom!!!

Just as Gao Jie Ming gritted his teeth, preparing to risk everything to launch 'Turn into Light' to fight for a glimmer of survival—

The sky changed!

A low but extremely penetrating terrifying roar, as if billions of thunders were brewing in the distant earth's core, came from far to near, tearing through the sky at an incredible speed, crushing over!

Gao Jie Ming and the black-robed wizard both felt a chill in their hearts, their movements in the fierce battle slowing down by half a beat involuntarily, their perceptions cast toward the source of the sound and energy fluctuations!

Only to see on the distant horizon, a massive black shadow covering the sky and sun, breaking through the air at a terrifying speed nearly a hundred times the speed of sound!

That was a metal object composed entirely of dark dull metal, with distinct edges and corners, shaped like a rhombus, and as huge as a mountain range!

Its volume was so huge that it could easily cover the entire Gobi below, and the shadow it cast instantly shrouded the two people in the fierce battle!

Because the speed was too fast, the air in front of the giant object was compressed to the extreme, and the friction between air and air formed a bright white plasma shockwave, as if putting a scorching crown of light on this metal mountain range!

The sonic boom, piercing to the point of exceeding the limit of human ear reception, turned into a substantial destructive shockwave, and some earlier shockwaves even swept the earth a step ahead toward the further distance!

Wherever it passed, the already riddled rock pillars and ground were like being fiercely hit by an invisible giant, collapsing and flying away one after another!

It just carried the momentum of crushing everything, and smashed straight toward the core area where the two were fighting!

The dark red gaze under the black-robed wizard's hood flashed.

His figure "blurred" in place, and the next instant, he had "presented" himself in another high altitude tens of thousands of meters away, avoiding the frontal impact of the giant object from afar.

For this kind of purely physical, large-scale space-based strike, resisting head-on was by no means a wise move!

Although the 【Fiction】 law can "define" results, facing such mass and kinetic energy, the "quota" required—

—is probably not small, better to avoid the sharp edge temporarily!

Gao Jie Ming, however, stood in place without moving, just looking up slightly, calmly watching the metal mountain range getting closer and closer.

His spiritual sense completed complex calculations in an instant—

Trajectory, speed, kinetic energy decay, air resistance, and—some obscure manipulative spiritual field attached to the giant object!

"The main shockwave direction is toward—the second quadrant, the remaining kinetic energy is not enough to break through the current threshold of the Return to Ruins Armor." He concluded instantly in his heart.

Thus, in the black-robed wizard's slightly surprised gaze—

In the terrifying hurricane and sonic boom shockwave carried by the metal mountain range that was enough to blow away mountain peaks—

Gao Jie Ming just drifted a little further away.

Boom!!!

In the blink of an eye, the scorching red bottom of the metal mountain range, carrying terrifying kinetic energy enough to destroy everything, smashed fiercely onto the earth!

The whole world seemed to be trembling!

With the impact point as the center, the earth within a radius of hundreds of kilometers collapsed instantly, forming a giant bottomless meteorite crater!

The ground seemed to turn into liquid, and countless ring-shaped soil waves spread frantically in all directions like a tsunami, completely tearing apart the already riddled Gobi!

Boom boom boom boom!!!

The shockwave was like a substantial tsunami, spreading outward at supersonic speed!

Wherever it passed, rock layers shattered, the atmosphere tore, and all tangible things turned into powder!

Countless tons of rock fragments were thrown into the sky, colliding with the sonic boom shockwave at high altitude, erupting into a series of secondary explosions, and the whole sky was dyed fire-red!

The earth was wailing!

Space was twisting!

This was a strike enough to change the landscape!

The entire metal mountain range was deeply embedded in the earth, with only the upper part exposed, like a metal mountain peak that had suddenly risen from the ground.

The mountain surface was scorched red due to intense friction, countless huge cracks covered it, and red molten metal constantly flowed out from the gaps!

And near this metal mountain range that had just smashed down, Gao Jie Ming stopped there, light and breezy.

The invisible Return to Ruins Armor field light flowed, easily absorbing and smoothing out all violent physical impacts and high-temperature plasma ripples, not even ruffling a single hair of his.

He was like a pillar of the sea in the center of the storm, motionless.

"Looks like you're in a tough battle, Gao Jie Ming."

A female voice, with a bit of laziness, a bit of arrogance, sounding somewhat unfamiliar, yet evoking a strange sense of familiarity in the depths of memory, came from the top of the metal mountain range.

Gao Jie Ming looked up at the sound.

A tall and slender figure was slowly drifting down from the "mountain top" of the metal giant object.

She had long black hair as smooth and bright as the night sky, flying wantonly in the chaotic airflow.

Her figure was hot, outlined vividly by a dark purple tight-fitting combat suit dotted with silver star patterns.

Her face was beautiful, her features three-dimensional, carrying a kind of aggressive beauty!

Especially a pair of black eyes, which were currently squinting slightly, looking down at Gao Jie Ming who appeared somewhat "disheveled" below, the corners of her mouth holding an arc of a half-smile.

Gao Jie Ming searched his memory with slight confusion, and soon found the corresponding memory.

A flash of surprise passed through his eyes, and Gao Jie Ming subconsciously called out the name that was almost about to be forgotten: "Augusta?"

Bert Villa Augusta!

The proud daughter of heaven who entered the Plane Nuolun Academy in the same period as him and crushed all heroes in the 1st Academy Trial to win first place!

Someone who showed astonishing thunder elemental affinity talent during the wizard apprentice period, with a proud and competitive personality.

However—

Gao Jie Ming touched his chin; he remembered that he didn't seem to have any intersection with the other party, right?

Hearing Gao Jie Ming call her name accurately, a flash of light that was almost imperceptible passed through Augusta's black eyes!

Then that hint of laziness was quickly replaced by pride.

Her petite chin lifted slightly, like a queen patrolling her territory, her voice crisp: "That's right, it's me! Didn't expect—that guy who kept a low profile back then would actually show such a disheveled posture now, it's really—"

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Gao Jie Ming's broken robe and the fine wounds on his body that had not yet completely healed—

A flash of extremely complex emotion passed through the depths of her eyes, eventually turning into a light sigh that couldn't tell if it was disappointment or something else: "—makes me a bit disappointed."

For Augusta, Gao Jie Ming was an extremely special "coordinate" on her wizarding path!

During her apprentice period, she had relied on her keen intuition to perceive that there was some kind of heart-palpitating power hidden within this guy who spent his days in the laboratory and library!

Although Gao Jie Ming had never taken her childish "challenges" to heart, and might not even have remembered her at all, she had always stubbornly regarded Gao Jie Ming as a target that needed to be chased and surpassed.

And this obsession even pushed her to grow and advance at an astonishing speed to a certain extent.

Now, unexpectedly reuniting on the dangerous enemy-rear battlefield, seeing Gao Jie Ming, who was always calm in her impression as if everything was under control, fall into such a difficult, even tragic bitter battle—

The feelings in her heart were indeed mixed.

Augusta seemed to want to say something more, perhaps wanting to show off her current strength and title, perhaps wanting to question why Gao Jie Ming had fallen to this point.

Unfortunately, Gao Jie Ming didn't give her this opportunity at all.

The moment he confirmed that the visitor was Augusta, a sharp light erupted in Gao Jie Ming's eyes.

He directly ignored Augusta's complex gaze, and a condensed stream of spiritual information instantly passed into Augusta's mind: "Just in time! Help me pin him down head-on! Buy me one second! Be careful! The opponent masters the 【Fiction】 law! Absolutely do not let any of his attacks touch your body directly!"

Gao Jie Ming's tone was unprecedentedly solemn and urgent!

"—ah?"

Augusta was stunned by this sudden spiritual transmission, her black eyes full of bewilderment.

She was, after all, an elite wizard who had experienced countless actual combat baptisms; although she didn't know why, Gao Jie Ming's urgent warning and solemn spiritual fluctuations could not be fake!

And almost at the same instant she received the information, she perceived the approach of danger!

The black-robed wizard seemed a bit impatient with Augusta, this "spoiler" who had suddenly broken in, and seeing her "talking" with Gao Jie Ming, he casually raised a finger toward Augusta's direction.

Pointed lightly.

A dark gray energy bomb, unremarkable, shot out silently.

The speed was not extremely fast, and the trajectory was also plain.

If it were normal times, with Augusta's strength and pride, she might choose to pat away this level of "probing" attack, or resist it head-on with a shield, or even be too lazy to pay attention.

But at this moment, echoing Gao Jie Ming's warning in her mind, alarm bells rang loudly in her heart!

"Magnetic field manipulation!"

Augusta shouted, her hands pressing forward into the void, her black eyes erupting with intense spiritual brilliance!

That massive metal mountain range that had just smashed onto the earth, weighing who knows how many billions of tons, seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, emitting a deafening roar of metal distortion!

Boom boom!!

It rose from the ground instantly with agility and speed completely inconsistent with its size, countless tons of mud and gravel pouring down like a waterfall!

The entire metal mountain range moved horizontally, like a huge super shield, fiercely blocking between Augusta and that dark gray energy bomb.

The whole process was smooth and flowing, showing how exquisite Augusta's manipulation of the magnetic field had reached today.

However—

The scene that appeared in the next moment made Augusta's proud expression freeze instantly!

Pfft—

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor was there any light flame of energy counter-collision.

That unremarkable dark gray energy bomb, like a red-hot iron ball falling into ice and snow, sank into the immensely thick metal mountain body without any resistance!

Immediately after, with the impact point as the center, the entire metal mountain range, which was unimaginably huge, had its internal structure seemingly "denied" of "integrity" and "structural strength" from the most basic atomic level by some incomprehensible power in an instant!

Boom boom boom boom!!!

A sound of disintegration even more muffled than when it fell before came from inside the mountain.

Countless huge cracks spread and expanded at a speed beyond imagination!

In the blink of an eye, the metal mountain range completely disintegrated and shattered in Augusta's disbelieving gaze, turning into metal fragments and powder of different sizes that filled the sky, their edges rapidly oxidizing and dimming!

The out-of-control metal blocks exploded in all directions, and for a time, the entire area was like a rain of steel and dust.

Through the curtain of metal debris falling one after another, Augusta stared fixedly at the black-robed wizard in the distance who was still standing quietly in the void, as if he had just done a trivial thing.

On her beautiful face, there was no longer any laziness or pride from before, only incomparable solemnity.

Being able to so easily annihilate the giant metal creation she controlled with all her might, which had multiple reinforcement runes attached—

This attack definitely had a problem!

Gao Jie Ming's warning was true!

And in the distance, the black-robed wizard's gaze also pierced through the curtain of rain and landed on Augusta's highly recognizable face.

He seemed to identify her, and a barely audible realization came from under the hood: "That spiritual fluctuation and combat style—should be the Tier 5 wizard with the title of 'Martial God' who has been rumored quite fiercely from the Plane Nuolun Workshop side recently."
