With a thunderous explosion, a massive shockwave swept across the entire Heavenly Vault at supersonic speed, twisting the space around it.
Wherever it passed, the ashen snow shattered, and the free elements crashed into each other in the sky, erupting into bursts of fireworks.
In the sky, the ever-present deathly clouds of the Ashen Day World were torn apart by the confrontation of the two powerful entities.
The Death Energy comprising the clouds transformed into nourishment for the two formidable opponents.
Both possessed the Life and Death Cycle; hence, this Death Energy was no different from Life Energy for them!
Meanwhile, the battle between the two races on the ground had also reached a fever pitch.
At Gao Wen’s roar, Asu, holding an Alchemy Shield, stepped in front of Gao Wen.
The next moment, a Witch Hunter Mayfly appeared before the shield, its scythe-like claws slashing fiercely at the shield, producing a nerve-wrenching metallic cutting sound.
Had Asu’s cover been a millisecond slower, those claws would have been enough to disembowel Gao Wen.
Behind the shield, Gao Wen used his spiritual power to observe this terrifying Biological Weapon.
He noticed that the Witch Hunter Mayfly was not without weapons; rather, those weapons were hidden within its body, forming part of it.
"Damn, you’re so tough! Take one of my Decomposition Cannons!"
Gao Wen cursed, and the Alchemy Gun Tower on his back, like a mechanical arm, immediately aimed at the Witch Hunter Mayfly.
The next moment, a surge of energy flowed into the gun tower, and a multicolored beam shot out from the Alchemy Cannon’s muzzle.
Thanks to Richard’s data, the Tesla Research Institute cracked the small-scale Decomposition Cannon, and its first version had been rolled out on a small scale among the Alchemy Wizards.
Due to his rich battlefield experience, Gao Wen was selected as one of the first experimental wizards.
The Decomposition Beam instantly penetrated the Alchemy Shield, beginning to spread across the body of the Witch Hunter Mayfly. In an instant, a fist-sized hole appeared at the central nervous area of the Witch Hunter Mayfly.
"Crap! Boss, why are you deconstructing my shield?"
Seeing Gao Wen’s action, Asu couldn’t help but wail. However, even while wailing, his actions didn’t stop.
His other hand overloaded the Instant Death Sword, and the jet-black blade plunged seamlessly into the body of the Witch Hunter Mayfly.
On the battlefield, the once orderly formation of wizards had been torn apart.
Just now, under cover of the Legion Shield, the Witch Hunter Mayflies and Galaxy Mayflies broke through the wizards’ formation.
The battlefield that was initially a line engagement turned into a bloody melee.
This tactic indeed proved highly effective.
In wizard training, only Elite Wizards undergo melee training, while ordinary wizards only receive basic body technique training.
Spell dueling had become a mutual understanding between both parties.
But now, by employing the Witch Hunter Mayflies, the Galaxy Mayflies had altered the mode of warfare in advance.
This put ordinary wizards who hadn’t undergone melee training and lacked specialized weaponry at a significant disadvantage.
Fortunately, the Truth Council had anticipated this long ago and equipped every wizard with a clan.
These clans often had robust physiques and underwent melee training, equipped to guard the wizard, abandoning all flashy functions, retaining only the most elemental physical defense Enchantment and light Enchantment.
Thus, ordinary wizards were not instantly overwhelmed.
However, in front of specialized Biological Weapons, ordinary wizards stood no chance of winning the war.
Without a clan, ordinary wizards were utterly slaughtered when faced with Witch Hunter Mayflies.
After dealing with the enemy at hand, Gao Wen took advantage of the gap to glance at the sky.
Gao Wen was fully aware that the outcome of their battle only needed to be non-defeat.
The true victor of this war would be determined by the two peerless powerhouses in the sky.
"Mayfly, you’re on the ropes now."
In the sky, Richard swung the Titan’s Hammer, hammering the body of the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor like a Blacksmith.
Under his relentless pounding, the Furnace Man Armor of the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor dulled, covered in cracks, as if it might collapse at any moment.
"Wizard, as if you are in much better shape."
The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor showed no weakness in his words, his four whip-like tentacles tearing hundreds of meters of flesh from Richard with every lash.
Although Richard could deal with the Alien Energy of the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor, his body remained bloody due to frequent injuries.
At this moment, their battle had turned into a simple test of endurance. Neither had any intention of defending against the other’s attacks.
Of course, even if they wanted to defend, they lacked the ability.
Both were battling on the surface curtain, where the speed of light was an insurmountable barrier.
At this level of combat, evading attacks at the speed of light was impossible without prediction.
No investigation or detection could surpass the speed of light at this layer.
All feedback from detection would only arrive after the attack hit, and even spiritual power detection would merely coincide in time.
Richard suddenly swung the heavy hammer with mountain-splitting and sea-parting force that instantly shattered one of the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor’s arms.
The mysterious energy on the hammer head spread along the wound, leaving a necrotic region over a kilometer in diameter on the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor’s body, even though they only existed for a moment.
"Damn, how does he manage to stabilize this energy’s existence?"
As someone adept at manipulating energy, the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor could clearly identify the energy on Richard’s hammer head as a special energy he had previously discovered.
However, the structure of this energy was extremely unstable. Even with his level of skill, he couldn’t stabilize its existence and had to abandon it.
But now, Richard not only stabilized its existence but also wielded it against his foe.
The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor could vaguely perceive that Richard’s level in the Shaping Power was far inferior to his own. He must have used some special method to keep such energy stable.
But what exactly was this method?
The two colossal beings suddenly separated.
The moment they separated, the injuries on Richard’s body began to rapidly heal. The Furnace Man Armor on the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor also ignited into raging flames under the influx of energy. In the flames, the cracks caused by the Titan’s Hammer were swiftly mending.
They stared at each other, the pressure emanating from them almost freezing the entire sky.
Although the previous battle was fierce, it was merely a warm-up for them.
The trillion cells in their true bodies had already fully activated in the battle; every attack from now on would be earth-shattering, and every exchange could be decisive!
Inside the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor, countless powers flowed like rivers; these energies incessantly restructured within him, and each structure was enough to serve as a legacy spell of a Great Wizard from the Shape-shifting School.
Although Richard had learned all the energies he showcased in their last battle, just as Richard could progress, so could he.
"Using the Life and Death Cycle to stabilize energy that should be impossible to maintain. Wizard, you are truly a genius."
The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor looked at Richard, and even though Richard was his enemy, he couldn’t help but silently praise him in his heart.
He had detected during the battle that Richard must have used some special method.
Now that he stopped, freeing up extra computational power, he instantly discerned Richard’s techniques.
In the past, his thought limitations only led him to use the Life and Death Cycle as a means of recovery and preservation.
But now, Richard had opened a door to a New World for him.
"Wizard, I will remember you."
The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor suddenly emitted a low insect hum.
A creepy aura spread quietly from his every move.
Richard looked at the Quasi-Emperor, a slight smile of surprise appearing on his face.
He could see that the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor, like him, had begun to use the Life and Death Cycle to stabilize energy structures.
"Good, good, you have not disappointed!"
Battle intent surged in Richard’s heart, and the billion cells in his true body all entered a full-load state at this moment.
The ocean-like Magic Power flowed within him, constantly changing form under the effect of the Transformation Rule, and then stabilized by the Life and Death Cycle.
On the Titan’s Hammer, countless runes ignited.
The countless layers of the Titan Rune Array were fully awakened at this moment.
A force capable of destroying heaven and earth emanated from the hammer’s head.
A snow of ashes quietly descended.
Along with a piercing energy hum, the entire world’s snow of ashes shattered at this moment.
The two colossal beings violently collided and instantly vanished into the surface curtain.
The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor was shrouded in a layer of pitch-black energy, each of the four tentacles carrying a kind of special energy that should be impossible to stabilize.
As the four tentacles swung, space shattered, and everything collapsed.
Even Richard’s Titan Body was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper before the tentacles.
The four tentacles were like four daggers, and all of Richard’s defenses crumbled in an instant.
Two hearts also disintegrated into a mass... of golden light?
The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor’s face changed drastically; before his eyes, Richard’s entire body suddenly disintegrated into a mass of golden Power of Faith.
And behind him, a destructive aura quietly emerged.
"It’s over, good opponent."
On the Titan’s Hammer, energy as dazzling as a supernova eruption swung down on the Quasi-Emperor like the blade of a long sword.
At the same time, the Furnace Man Armor that had protected the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor for countless years suddenly shattered, and the "stress" hidden within the armor exploded completely at this moment!
The armor disintegrated, and the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor’s body was instantly split into two.
The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor wanted to resist, but at this moment, all his methods were futile.
His body was split in two, his thinking organs destroyed, even his soul thoroughly torn apart.
No matter how strong his recovery ability, he needed a millisecond to regain control of his body.
But in battles of this level.
A millisecond meant life and death!
The Mayfly Quasi-Emperor tried hard to look at Richard; in the last moment of life, he wanted to see what means had ultimately killed him.
But before he could turn his head.
A voice rang in his mind.
"Glory, you look truly pathetic now."
In the next moment, Richard suddenly found the surrounding environment change drastically, and the Mayfly Quasi-Emperor before him vanished.
A voice suddenly came from all directions.
"Wizard, defeating Glory is something you can be proud of. But now, the game is over.
In my Heart Image Dimension, enjoy the last of your life."
