Chapter 357: Chapter 319: Extinction

On the remnants of the Giant Spirit Realm, deathly silence shrouded everything.

The few lucky survivors among the soldiers from the Giant Spirit Realm and the Mind Realm stood frozen like puppets drained of their souls, their eyes vacant as they stared at the immense void wiped away by Dixon’s palm.

Their will to resist and desire to survive shattered completely in that moment.

The wizard’s cannon fodder legion surged like a silent tide, efficiently capturing and cleaning up these demoralized remnants, meeting no resistance.

Dixon hovered in the sky, surveying the battlefield that was now under control but largely devastated, nodding slightly.

The core of the Giant Spirit Realm’s resistance had been removed, and the main force of the Mind Realm had been annihilated here as well.

The next task was to head to the Mind Realm to plunder knowledge, and then follow the maps to eliminate all the colonized planes controlled by the Triangular Plane Community, completing a thorough extermination.

Incidentally, he could also take over a large number of “unowned” planes that had been preliminarily developed—while the rewards fell short of expectations, they were still considerable.

As he was planning the next steps, an alarm of the highest priority resounded simultaneously in his and Obelus’s minds through a special soul link!

It was Melisande!

An emergency communication from the Ship Plane outside the Triangular Plane Community!

“Attention! A major change has occurred in the Reproduction Realm! Repeat, a major change has occurred in the Reproduction Realm!”

Almost as soon as they received the information, Dixon and Obelus, with their extraordinary perception, penetrated the plane barriers to capture a terrifying life signal that even made their hearts skip a beat!

Its source was the Reproduction Realm, which they had always considered devoid of civilization and home only to powerful wild creatures!

Zooming out to beyond the Triangular Plane Community.

At this moment, the once-colorful surface of the Reproduction Realm, covered with forests, deserts, and oceans, was undergoing a chilling transformation!

The earth was writhing!

The mountains were undulating!

The oceans were boiling!

This was not a metaphor, but a literal activity!

The vast green forest swelled like the skin of some giant beast, the endless gray desert spun like quicksand, and the vast oceans raised waves defying logic, as if some grand entity was awakening beneath.

No, it’s not as if!

The wizards’ speculations were correct but vastly underestimated its scale and nature—the entire surface ecosystem of the Reproduction Realm was essentially a colossal life-form, unimaginably vast, disguising itself!

It was the Fungus Lord!

Its true body was, astonishingly, the biosphere of the entire Reproduction Realm itself!

At this moment, this terrifying creature, sleeping with the plane as its bed, had been thoroughly awakened due to the planar chain reaction and ecological upheaval caused by Dixon’s destruction of most of the Giant Spirit Realm.

Melisande, as the Seventh Level Wizard stationed at the highly mobile Ship Plane, was the first to observe this sight beyond common sense and immediately issued a warning.

Dixon and Obelus’s expressions turned extremely grave in an instant.

They could clearly feel the weight of the pressure transmitted across planes, brimming with boundless life energy and pure devourer desire, its energy level far exceeding those of Koger and Shira!

“On a level scale, it’s still Eighth Level, but this… is on an entirely different level from those four guys just now…” Obelus’s deep voice carried unprecedented seriousness.

Under the stunned gazes of countless wizards, the fully active Fungus Lord revealed its true form.

Countless enormous tentacles, formed from mountains, forests, even oceans, with diameters vast enough to hold stars, suddenly extended from the surface of the Reproduction Realm.

These immense tentacles, moving with a speed that defied physical logic, fiercely tore apart the plane barrier between the Reproduction Realm and the devastated Giant Spirit Realm!

The sight was as if a world was extending its limbs, forcefully intruding into another world!

Below, Jeming watched this scene, his pupils involuntarily contracting, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

The sight of the Fungus Lord in motion was no less imposing than the living plane of years past!

But… this kind of life-form is even rarer than living planes!

On the indescribably massive “main body” of the Fungus Lord, there seemed to be some invisible giant mouth opening.

At first glance, a terrifying energy torrent, mixed with extreme devourer desire and life assimilation power, rushed toward the gathered wizard army in the Giant Spirit Realm, like a galaxy-level supernova eruption!

“Stop it!”

Dixon and Obelus shouted in unison, both unleashing their power without reservation!

Dixon clasped his hands in an illusory embrace, the Law of Destiny twisting reality, attempting to divert this destructive torrent into the void.

Obelus transformed into a towering shadow giant, pushing out both palms as pure darkness formed into a shield, confronting the energy impact head-on!

Boom!!!

The clash of three beings standing at the pinnacle of power shattered everything within tens of millions of kilometers, even space itself turned into streams of elementary particles!

However, the result of the clash made Dixon and Obelus’s pupils contract slightly.

Their combined strike, powerful enough to easily destroy ordinary planes, hit the Fungus Lord’s seemingly “soft” body, composed of earth, rock, and water, yet was absorbed and dispersed effortlessly, causing no substantial damage!

Dixon’s face darkened, his powerful analytical skills operating at full force: “Energy absorption, law solidification, high energy resistance, ultra-fast regeneration, and… range-capable energy extraction?! So many troublesome traits concentrated in one being…”

If an ordinary enemy had these characteristics, they would have ways to counter it.

But the trouble lies in the fact that the Fungus Lord’s size is too massive.

Although it is not a Living Plane, its body size is no less than any Plane!

The internal energy reserves it contains are billions of times that of a normal Eighth Level existence.

The difficulty of opposing it is no different from fighting against an Eighth Level Living Plane!

It’s not that they can’t defeat it, but if they exert their full strength, they won’t be able to protect the wizards behind them.

The aftermath of the battle would completely annihilate the Wizard Legion present!

At the moment when the top forces of both sides confronted each other, countless “smaller,” but still mountain-sized tentacles had already split from the Fungus Lord’s massive body, extending toward the Wizard Legion on the other side.

“Form arrays! Combined sorcery!”

No more commands were needed, and the Wizard Legion, having experienced the initial chaos, demonstrated impressive composure.

Under the command of leaders at all levels, wizards with coordinated combat experience quickly gathered, linking their spiritual power to construct massive Composite Sorcery Arrays!

The violent Power of Elements was once again stirred—Dixon’s previous wiping out of the Giant Spirit Realm’s attack had broken the prior elemental inertia, even causing the surrounding energy to become chaotic.

And wizards like Jeming, who specialize in solo combat, launched their strongest attacks without hesitation.

The “Great Light Appearance” array operated at full capacity, sending concentrated beams of energy like a dense rainstorm towards those mountain-like tentacles.

Surprisingly, the wizards’ attacks were remarkably effective!

The combined sorcery’s brilliance and Jeming’s energy beams landed on the tentacles, visibly evaporating and dissolving large portions of “tissue,” effectively halting the tentacles’ advance.

Dixon keenly noticed this and frowned: “The attacks are effective… but my and Obelus’s attacks are instead being heavily absorbed…”

“It seems… its defense and characteristics are closely related to its body size and energy concentration? The larger the size, the more concentrated the energy, the stronger the defense and characteristics? The defense of the dispersed tentacles drops significantly?”

This discovery was valuable, but in the face of the overwhelming attack, it seemed somewhat insignificant.

He wanted to immediately order the Wizard Legion to retreat, but against an enemy that uses the world as its body, where is the truly safe zone?

At that moment, Melisande’s calm voice once again echoed in the minds of Dixon and Obelus:

“Everyone! Maximum-level impact protection! Immediately!”

Dixon and Obelus felt a simultaneous chill in their hearts!

Without any hesitation, the two instantly abandoned their entanglement with the Fungus Lord’s main body, their figures flashing like Instant Teleportation to the front of the Wizard Legion.

“Barrier!”

The two lowly voiced together, pouring out their overwhelming spiritual power without reservation!

An Energy Barrier, merging the trajectory of destiny and shadows, solid and seemingly connecting heaven and earth, suddenly rose, firmly shielding the entire Wizard Legion behind it.

At the very moment the barrier rose…

Outside the Triangular Plane Community, on the surface of the massive Ship Plane as large as a small continent, tens of thousands of array nodes lit up simultaneously with dazzling brilliance.

Uncountable energy was forcibly extracted from the core of the Plane, from the linked Elemental Plane, and even from the void, compressed, and then gathered.

Finally, at the center of the Ship Plane, in front of a super-giant main cannon muzzle with a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, a ball of destructive light was formed!

The next moment, the light ball disappeared.

No, it didn’t disappear, it transformed into an energy stream of purest intensity, hundreds of kilometers wide.

The Light Cannon tore through the void, disregarded distances, and, at a speed beyond the concepts of time and space, fiercely struck the Fungus Lord that had just torn through the Plane’s barrier, with half of its body inserted into the Giant Spirit Realm!

There was no sound because sound propagation held no meaning in front of such energy.

Only light! Light that devours everything!

The energy stream, like a red-hot iron slicing through butter, effortlessly pierced through the colossal body of the Fungus Lord, forged from the entire Plane surface, penetrated its location in the Reproduction Realm, and even… emerged from the other end of the Reproduction Realm, into the endless Chaotic Void!

The soul-shattering screech of the Fungus Lord, a mix of countless lives’ wails and the earth’s lament, lasted less than half a second before abruptly ceasing.

Its core area, under the absolute power of the destructive stream, was utterly vaporized in an instant!

Without its core support, the unimaginably vast body began to collapse and disintegrate.

Like a toppled sandcastle, it turned into countless fragments and dust releasing the last glimmers of life, like a meteor shower covering the entire star domain, falling towards the shattered Giant Spirit Realm and the void.

One strike!

Only one strike!

Not only did it completely annihilate the Fungus Lord, a Peak Eighth Level being with a body like a world, but it also erased the entire Reproduction Realm from physical existence…

Behind the barrier, Jeming and the other wizards, just like the rest, stared in shock at that terrifying presence that was dissipating.

And at the distant starry sky, the new dark void marking what was once there.

Jeming opened his mouth but found himself unable to produce any sound.

Is this… the true power of a High Tier Wizard?
