The world reaching the middle tier was the threshold for survival in the mid-void, and the gap between middle-tier worlds had already reached terrifying proportions.
The middle-tier world, whose concealment had just been broken, had a world-womb whose brightness even surpassed that of Chen Luo's mother world at its peak.
But at this moment, this by no means weak middle-tier world, compared to the colossal entity about to devour it, was like the faint glow of a firefly against the bright moon.
The world-womb of the upper-tier world suddenly opened, swallowing the middle-tier world whole.
But the real battle had only just begun.
Within the immensely vast upper-tier world, on a special battlefield far from the continent, a planet encased in a milky-white world-womb was abruptly swallowed in!
Even after such a massive world was incorporated, this special battlefield, shrouded in mist, still appeared somewhat empty.
The middle-tier world rotated quietly on the battlefield, but a sense of unease was subtly brewing.
And within this seemingly empty battlefield, many grand wills were constantly intersecting:
"Heavenly Dao has swallowed another new realm? Judging by the aura, this realm's path differs greatly from ours. This is a feast for our Nine Heavens!"
"Fellow Daoist, you speak the truth. If we accept the path of the new realm, our Nine Heavens might just gain another Dao Ancestor."
"Hahaha! What shameless scoundrels! Heavenly Dao devours worlds, and we help Heavenly Dao devour paths! What's there to accept or not accept! Kill them! Seize their accumulations!"
"Hmph! There's no point in talking to the demon spawn of the Nine Nether! Prepare yourselves! Heavenly Dao is about to make its move!"
*Hum!*
Within the boundless special battlefield, a formless, intangible special power descended.
*Bang!*
As if a human had forcefully tapped an eggshell, the perfectly round and seamless world-womb outside the middle-tier world suddenly caved inward, the indentation filled with countless terrifying cracks.
"You...! No...!"
Before the middle-tier world's indistinct voice could finish,
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
With a series of continuous explosions, the once-unified world-womb was instantly riddled with holes!
The protection of the world-womb had been completely breached, and its cherished citizens had no retreat left!
Amidst the rumbling, a total of seven colossal stone towers suddenly rose from within the shattered world-womb,
Each tower represented a path within the Wizard World,
Elemental, Bloodline, Grafting, Nightmare, Psionic, Arcane, Curse,
These seven major schools had developed over tens of thousands of years in the Wizard World. Through the unremitting efforts of countless generations of wizards, an extremely brilliant wizard civilization had flourished throughout the world.
And wizards of countless paths had, step by step, broken through the limits of life, pushing the extraordinary path known as the wizard to ever more astonishing heights.
Once, the wizards even believed their world was favored by destiny, supreme.
It was only when their world further broke through into the more energy-rich void that
the Grand Wizards realized they were merely fodder in the mouths of higher beings.
And after hiding for ten thousand years, they had finally attracted the malice of stronger entities.
"In the name of the Wizard World! You invaders will be utterly consumed by the void!!!"
From within the towers, Grand Wizards who had reached the pinnacle of their paths sent their fury out to the world beyond!
Each of these towers was the pinnacle creation of a school. If Chen Luo were to see them now, each tower would appear to him as a special wondrous artifact capable of increasing a race's foundation.
And the tower masters at the end of the paths were the supreme extraordinary Grand Wizards of the Wizard World.
They had completely shed their mortal bodies,
They embodied the magnificent wisdom of countless generations over tens of thousands of years for each school.
With a single thought, they could shake the entire Wizard World!
But!
When the beings of the upper-tier world perceived the wizards' will, laughter echoed across the entire battlefield:
"Barbarians! It is your honor to become sacrifices for the growth of the Nine Heavens!"
"Haha! You crack me up! A few trash with the aura of Ascension Nine Heavens, daring to speak so boldly?"
Amidst the laughter, colossal faces exuding immortal and demonic radiance emerged on the mist-shrouded battlefield.
They were either filled with immortal energy or stern with demonic light, but they all looked at the seven towers rising from the planet with playful amusement!
"Old rules! Each to their own abilities!" a Demon Lord with black horns on his head roared, taking the lead in fully manifesting his body on this outer-domain battlefield and reaching out towards the tower-laden Wizard World!
Gazing at the terrifying figure that had fully manifested, capable of grasping the wizard towers with a single hand, the surrounding Void Refining Heavenly Monarchs also manifested without showing weakness:
"Demon spawn! You'd better crawl back to the Nine Nether!!!"
The Heavenly Monarchs' words were unyielding, but they only reached out towards the Wizard World, showing no intention of engaging the Demon Lords here.
After all, in this outer-domain battlefield, under the rules of Heavenly Dao, the punishment for immortal-demonic conflict was not to be trifled with!
The Black Horned Demon Lord paid no heed to the thoughts of other beings. He casually reached out and grabbed a tower radiating elemental light:
"Haha! This realm has developed well! The paths have already condensed into substance! I want this tower!!"
Under the sky-obscuring giant palm, the Elemental Tower abruptly unleashed its extremely condensed barrier, barely fending off the Demon Lord's claw.
Within the tower, millions of extraordinary wizards simultaneously pooled their magic power to jointly resist this shocking external enemy.
At the top of the tower, a peculiar humanoid figure composed of two opposing elements, ice and fire, looked at the approaching monster with a deep hue:
"The Wizard World has developed for tens of thousands of years. For the seven of us to reach the realm of Grand Wizard was already exceedingly difficult."
"Even I, Ol'garr, the controller of ice and fire, the end of the elemental path, once believed that beyond Grand Wizard, there were no more paths!"
"But I never imagined that today, these foreign invaders would allow me to glimpse the scenery beyond Grand Wizard!"
"It seems that today, the history of the Wizard World may come to an end..."
"But! You invaders can destroy us! But don't you dare dream of us submitting!!!"
Gazing at the monster that had torn through the tower's defenses, the Elemental Tower Master's eyes flashed with determination:
"Tower Spirit! Overload the Wizard Tower!! Amplify everyone's power onto me!!!"
The colossal tower shuddered violently,
The next moment, at the Tower Master's command, the immense magic power from millions of extraordinary wizards surged towards the Elemental Tower Master.
"This battle!!! Is Without Return!!!"
*BOOM!!!!*
On this day, the Nine Heavens and Nine Lands devoured the Wizard World.
In this battle, all six Grand Wizard-level tower masters perished.
The leading Elemental Tower Master, stimulated by the brink of life and death, broke through to the unprecedented realm of Truth Wizard on the spot.
But ultimately, under the encirclement of Immortal and Demonic Void Refiners, the newly ascended Truth Wizard could only self-destruct in regret.
After this battle, the nearly three million surviving wizards, over a hundred billion ordinary inhabitants, and all the accumulations of the Wizard World over tens of thousands of years, became the spoils of war for the major powers of the Nine Heavens and Nine Lands.
And as the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens and Nine Lands struggled under the assault of the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Heavens and Nine Lands,
As the Void Refining Great Powers of the entire Nine Heavens and Nine Lands indulged in a feast of devouring worlds,
A streak of white light quietly fell between heaven and earth.
