Chapter 722 War Begins
The battle erupted the very instant the Broadleaf Wizard let out his sigh.
Shuoyuan's enormous dragon head suddenly rose, and in its huge dark golden dragon eyes, anger and fear intertwined and surged.
A deep, resonant sound came from deep within its chest, and then it opened its enormous maw, large enough to swallow a small planet.
The explosive dragon breath spewed out, a torrent formed by the entanglement of dozens of energies.
The dark golden light trail tore through the void, and wherever it passed, the spatial structure was shattered by the conflict of laws, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading rapidly along both sides of the trail.
The elemental turbulence in the void was forcibly pushed aside, and even the distant Broadleaf Plane Barrier was violently shaken by the aftershocks.
The Broadleaf Wizard raised his right hand, and the vast field of law-based light that filled the void before him instantly contracted and condensed, transforming into a massive amber-colored barrier. Countless runes appeared densely on the barrier's surface, each independently analyzing the frequency and phase of the oncoming dragon breath. The moment the dragon breath slammed into the barrier, all its energy was dismantled and diverted layer by layer by the amber-colored barrier.
After withstanding an impact powerful enough to easily evaporate an entire star system, the barrier only dented slightly backward by an inch.
Shuoyuan's dragon breath was still spewing, and its body had already launched a charge under the cover of the dragon breath.
The massive body, as large as a star, crashed forward with a terrifying acceleration completely disproportionate to its size, causing the void to groan under its strain as the scales scraped past.
If such a collision were to hit, the sheer mass impact alone would be enough to knock a star off its orbit.
"I'll do it."
A burly, level seven wizard emerged from behind Broadleaf.
His solidified domain of laws expanded rapidly during flight, and the patterns within the domain instantly transformed from static to violently pulsating.
When the light faded, he was no longer in human form, but a giant beast of similar size to Shuoyuan.
The giant beast's outline resembled that of a bear, but it was much more robust.
Its limbs are like pillars, and its shoulders and back are covered with thick bone armor, the surface of which is inlaid with runes that rotate at high speed.
It met Shuoyuan's charge head-on, and in the next instant, the two behemoths collided violently.
boom!!!
The shockwave exploded outward from the point of impact, directly blasting away the elemental bands remaining after the collapse of the dragon-human plane in the distance.
"Now's the time!"
Broadleaf Wizard gave the order.
The other wizards, who were already in position, attacked simultaneously.
The light from more than a dozen solidified laws intertwined in the void, forming a net, and halos of light enveloped the dragon's body from different directions.
The moment the runes inside the halo touched the dragon scales, they began to replicate at high speed, and the binding density increased exponentially.
Countless elemental chains emerged from the void, binding the dragon's wings, claws, and tail. The ends of the chains were driven into the depths of the void, firmly fixing Shuoyuan in place.
The second dragon breath that it was about to unleash was extinguished at the throat by a level seven wizard specializing in energy suppression.
The wizard directly smoothed out the energy structure inside the dragon's breath, causing it to revert to an unactivated, inert state.
From the sigh of the broad leaves to the complete binding of the source, the whole process took only a breath.
But when faced with the dragon that was now completely bound, Jemin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It was as if something had gently brushed past the edge of his destiny's trajectory, leaving a cool, tingling sensation.
Jemin immediately realized that it was the law of fate giving him a warning.
Without any hesitation, a dark golden light exploded from his body, and his true form, a thousand meters tall, suddenly appeared in the void.
"Don't resist."
The Broadleaf Wizard's telepathic message entered his mental sea almost simultaneously, speaking at an extremely fast pace, clearly indicating that he had planned ahead.
Just as Jemin was about to speak, his body moved first.
The instant he voluntarily gave up resistance, an external force manipulated his true form, swiftly teleporting him from the back of the line to in front of a wizard. The moment he regained his footing, a familiar shock exploded in his chest.
That was when the reflection dimension channel opened, the pressure difference between the two dimensions created an extremely terrifying erasing effect, striking him squarely in the chest. A blinding burst of light instantly erupted from the surface of the Void Armor.
The energy steady-state field automatically reached its maximum, the protective power soared to its limit, and then... it was penetrated.
The attack that easily pierced through the Void Armor only left a shallow wound on his body; the injury was merely superficial. Jemin's face darkened for a moment.
He looked down at the rapidly healing crack on his chest, then looked up at the Broadleaf Wizard.
He finally understood.
It turns out that when Kuoye asked him earlier, "Can the main body withstand the dimensional difference?" he was asking whether the shield was sturdy.
When Dean Avery recommended him to Broadleaf, he probably didn't just recommend a wizard who could withstand dimensional portals, but also casually recommended a living shield that could walk on its own, cast spells on its own, and collect technical data.
The thought had barely crossed my mind when Shuoyuan's second attack arrived.
A massive dimensional portal suddenly opened up in the void behind it.
This dimensional portal was far larger than anything Jemin had ever seen before; it was a dimensional rift with a diameter large enough to engulf an entire star. Dark halos of reflected light poured forth from the rift, violently surging in all directions under the pressure difference between the two dimensions. The elemental chains binding the dragon's body were directly erased by the dimensional difference, and the ends of the chains, driven deep into the void, were severed at their source. The runic array binding the aura collapsed in pieces under the impact of the pressure.
As for the source itself, it remained unscathed in the dimensional erosion that was enough to obliterate everything.
Its scales become even brighter under the high pressure of the dimensional channel, and the law patterns solidified on the surface of the scales even actively absorb the dimensional pressure and transform it into its own energy replenishment.
The next instant, it broke free from its restraints, and the dimensional portal behind it spread out in the void like a giant cloak.
The dragon's head rose again.
It breathed out dragon breath once more, but this time there was no energy in the breath. Instead, it directed the penetrating force of the dimensional channel directly at all the wizards present.
The erasure effect of dimensional difference spread in a fan shape, instantly covering a small part of the battlefield.
The wizards suddenly felt somewhat constrained.
Everyone present was an expert in countering the power of the reflection dimension.
However, the so-called "countermeasures" are mostly based on high-speed self-healing, predictive evasion, or localized blockade.
There are very few wizards below level eight in the entire Star Ring Federation who can stand still and withstand the dimensional difference without getting hurt, like Jemin. What's more troublesome is that the passage opened by Shuoyuan is too large.
It's so big that it's impossible to avoid.
Their evasive routes were completely blocked, and the solidified domain of laws trembled violently under the impact of the dimensional difference. Cracks began to appear in the defenses of several level-six wizards. Then, they saw Jemin.
Jemin stood directly in front of the fan-shaped area, his hands crossed in front of his face, letting the waves of dimensional difference bombard his true body. The Void Armor flickered in and out of focus as it struck, but his dark golden body remained firmly in the void, without taking a single step back.
The level seven wizards exchanged a glance, and without needing to say a word, they moved behind Jemin in perfect unison.
Thus, an extremely bizarre scene unfolded on the battlefield.
Jemin's true form faced the continuous dimensional obliteration torrent from Shuoyuan head-on, while behind him, a line of wizards used him as cover stood in a row. Even the wizard who had previously transformed into a giant beast decisively shrunk his body and hid behind Jemin.
Jemin looked helpless, but still obediently crossed his hands in front of his face, adjusting his posture to block out more of his face. "You guys certainly know how to pick a spot," he thought to himself.
Some wizards, hiding behind cover, began trying to sever the dimensional portal behind Shuoyuan.
Several level-seven wizards skilled in dimensional interference attacked simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of all imaginable interference methods, including sealing spells, spatial severing, and dimensional disturbances.
Ke Shuoyuan's dragon eyes only moved slightly.
The dimensional portal trembled slightly before returning to normal.
