pulled the full might of the Narlost formation into a single, all-in blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't a test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gamble with everything

crack nearly split his torso in two, cutting straight toward his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood, laced with raw energy, spilled into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That

light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light contracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collapsed inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few heartbeats—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast that had loomed like a walking apocalypse began to shrink rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until finally—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the form of a middle-aged man, floating midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden light shimmered around him, his gaze cold and distant, like a god looking down on ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell again across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You pathetic… insects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raimondrex's voice was low

hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sphere of violent energy began to form in his palm, collapsing in on itself, denser by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll pay the price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurled the sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it wasn't just a clash of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it made contact, space itself shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless spatial rifts tore open above the battlefield, their twisted pull ripping apart anything too weak to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those caught in the fringes—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were shredded into dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiberon clenched his jaw so hard it nearly cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, cold sweat slid down his temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly what Raimondrex was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A calamity-class entity from a foreign Plane World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time one of them descended, it meant annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entire lesser realms had been wiped out without even daring to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander of Narlost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in his heart, the Empire's strength stood above all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even against a creature out of legend—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would not retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BZZZZT—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like a chain of explosions ripping through the sky, a deafening roar of power erupted from Tiberon's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was—his final extraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a dozen energy spheres were forcibly torn from his core, trailing blood and lightning as they rose into the sky, hovering among the churning clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the Narlost army responded almost instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone still standing released the last of their strength—not to strike, but to keep the formation from collapsing outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the cost hit immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once. Twice. Three times—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their power was drained again and again, their bodies couldn't handle the backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collapse was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some lost consciousness midair and were torn apart by the raging energy currents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others didn't even make it to the ground before the shockwaves snapped their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many didn't even have time to scream before they were killed outright by the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't a battle anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a desperate struggle to exist, trading life for a few more seconds of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it kept going—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Narlost army wouldn't even have the option to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another few brutal, near-uncontrolled collisions followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder and flame exploded across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the final shockwave faded—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raimondrex and Tiberon were both blasted to opposite ends of the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They managed to stay upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just barely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were gasping for breath, their chests heaving, the overwhelming pressure they once radiated now flickering, barely holding form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Tiberon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once-massive army that had blotted out the sun was reduced to a handful of faint life signs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few lord-tier beings were still standing, and even they were barely holding themselves together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1039,"2026-06-05T15:15:49.877Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c1568891be1701ce4e5cecda6fcb9d10a6b6dc28e5ddadae85cc881c9fd7240","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-826","mystic-calling-stone-of-glory-chapter-824",1138,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmystic-calling-stone-of-glory-cover.jpg"]
