Chapter 286 Unspeakable Pollution

Chapter 286

Searle, the radical leader of the Meteor Council, rose into the sky like a stream of light, and then took the lead and swooped down towards the deep and dark Nightmare Rift that seemed to swallow up all light!

The wizard robe on his body fluttered in the wind like a war flag.

As he flew, he left behind a black trail as deep as ink and causing people to panic.

That trajectory seemed not to belong to this world. It was not a simple flight trajectory, but a regular trace composed of devouring and corrosion.

There were faint sounds of "swish" and "swish", as if reality was being torn and eroded!

Even the surrounding space was subtly distorted by the influence of this dark trail, trembling and collapsing like a mirror, as if the trail itself was an unspeakable crack extending into an unknown dimension.

Seeing this scene, even the many Morning Star Wizards, including the Spirit Eye Wizard, changed their expressions slightly and showed surprise.

They had long anticipated Sel's strength and even had high hopes for this trip.

But no one expected that the afterimage left by the other party just by flying past could cause such severe interference to the rules of heaven and earth and the essence of space!

What is even more frightening is...

In that black tail, there was a hint of strange laws that were difficult for them to understand, as if it did not come from the wizarding world itself, but from some completely different extraordinary civilization.

That feeling was like the traces left behind by practitioners of another system in the distant starry sea, which was incompatible with the witchcraft, elements, and bloodlines they were familiar with, and made people instinctively feel awe.

However, as Morning Star-level powerhouses, they also understand that gathering the strengths of all civilizations and integrating them with their own cultivation methods is the fundamental purpose of the wizard system.

It is not unacceptable for Sel to comprehend the rules of other civilizations.

What's more, with the war imminent, no one has the time to delve into the source of all these strange phenomena.

After a brief shock, many Morning Star wizards reacted quickly and consciously avoided the area affected by Sel's dark trajectory.

Immediately afterwards, it transformed into a galaxy-like torrent of light and swooped down with a loud bang!

"There are ten major cities in the Nightmare Rift Valley. Today is the day to completely destroy them!"

As everyone was falling, Sel's mental power exploded in the sky like thunder, and the cold and solemn voice entered the consciousness of every Morning Star wizard, making their blood boil.

Immediately, when everyone flew to a key area, Sel's body paused slightly, and suddenly broke apart and transformed in the void, turning into ten shadows, which cut through the sky in different directions in a flash.

"Spread out and follow me!"

"This is the Elemental City!"

"This is the Blood City!"

"This is the Mechanical City!"

Thoughts that were filled with mental shockwaves echoed in the void like the roar of heavenly drums.

The Morning Star Wizards who followed closely behind did not hesitate at all. They each chose their own direction and transformed into flowing shuttles, flying through the clouds, following Sel's projection and flying towards different cities!

When Lin En saw this scene, his heart moved slightly, and he immediately gave an order, asking the Spirit Eye Wizard to follow the black shadow heading towards the Mechanical City.

In the dark realm of the Nightmare Rift, the only place he had truly set foot in and was familiar with was the Mechanical City.

It was for this reason that he wanted to see with his own eyes how Sel, the radical leader, would break through this strange, complex and trap-filled city.

Or in other words, what exactly does he plan to turn the Mechanical City into?

………………

Although Sel brought nearly thirty Morning Star wizards with him on this expedition, his force was mighty and awe-inspiring.

If this high-end wizard army appeared in a certain plane expedition, even if the target was a powerful primary civilization guarded by level six creatures, it would be easily defeated and defeated in one blow.

However, it is regrettable that this time, the enemy that Sel faced was not an ordinary civilization, but the Nightmare Rift ruled by the seventh-level existence "His Majesty the Brilliant Moon"!

Although the army of less than thirty Morning Star wizards is enough to sweep away everything in other planes, it seems stretched and powerless in such a high-risk area.

First, when Sel decided to launch a full-scale attack on the ten major cities, they took the initiative to divide their forces into ten fronts.

After such dispersion, there are only two or three Morning Star Wizards who can actually be mobilized for each front.

Such an organization could, in some cases, accomplish a precise strike against a Morning Star Wizard; but it would be too risky to attack a large city head-on.

Through the perspective of the Spirit Eye Wizard, Lin En looked at Sel's decisive and fearless back, and the memory of him personally stepping into the Mechanical City emerged in his mind.

Although he could not accurately determine the specific number of Morning Star Wizards in the city, one thing was very clear: the opponent's Morning Star-level combat power was definitely not a single digit!

Now, Sel only brought the Spirit Eye Wizard and another Morning Star Wizard to rush straight to the Mechanical City. The gap in strength and number of people between the two sides was quite huge!

Rumble!

As the Morning Star Wizards accelerated to full speed, three figures, like meteorites, dragging energy trails, soon approached the edge of the Mechanical City.

Looking around, the endless nightmare rift valley is like a bottomless abyss, as dark as ink, swallowing up the light and making people's heart palpitate.

However, in front of the dead and dark rift valley, one after another hazy glimmers of light gradually emerged in the sky, like the first appearance of a fading star, like the unveiling of a miracle.

These tiny lights intertwined and converged, outlining the outline of a huge monster in the distance.

As the distance got closer, the three Morning Star wizards' extraordinary eyesight allowed them to see the scene clearly.

It is a metal city made of icy black steel, a mechanical city that exudes cold and oppressive power!

The entire city silently and solemnly floated above the valley, like a sleeping giant god, with countless bright lights dotted across its iron body, which were the source of the faint light seen earlier.

Its outline is as sharp as a knife edge, its structure is complex and dense, and it shines with a cold industrial aesthetic.

And around the city, there are countless aircraft fleets that are rotating and circling like satellites, surrounding it layer by layer and defending tightly, like a mechanical swarm of bees, guarding this airspace to the death.

boom!

When Sel and the other two arrived, the Morning Star Wizard's aura surged out like a tide, and the violent mental pressure wrapped in the energy of heaven and earth, sweeping forward!

At that moment, the space shook, echoes were heard from the depths of the rift valley, and even the air was filled with a sharp whistling sound like metallic resonance!

The few aircraft guarding the front, on the edge of the alert, simply sensed this oppressive feeling and felt their systems collapse. Their psychic energy lost control, their engines screamed, and they immediately shook and flashed violently in the air. Then...

Crashed with a loud bang!

One after another, steel aircraft fell from the sky like a flock of broken-winged birds, crashing into the abyss. Flames and wreckage exploded above the rift, creating metal sparks!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

A high-pitched and rapid alarm suddenly exploded in the sky, like a sudden thunder, instantly tearing apart the originally cold and quiet air of the Mechanical City.

Although the first batch of aircraft that crashed under pressure had not yet fully transmitted the alarm, the monitoring wizards who had been deployed at the edge of the airspace had already captured the dangerous aura at the first time and sent the information back to the center at the fastest speed.

Boom! Boom!

Deafening roars came from deep underground, and the entire mechanical city was running like an awakened steel behemoth!

The sky above the city was suddenly illuminated by red warning beams, and the warning system was fully activated.

Scarlet beams of light rose from the top of the tower, like sharp swords against the murderous sky, flashing like angry golden pupils warning invaders.

At this moment, Lin En was still observing the battlefield through the vision of the Spirit Eye Wizard.

His eyes pierced through the void and fell on the distant mechanical city. His heart sank slightly and he muttered to himself:

"Is it about to begin... But this radical leader, Sel, is essentially just a sixth-level Morning Star Wizard.

Not to mention, this time he divided his forces into ten, evenly distributing them across ten fronts... The one before him must be just one of his clones."

Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts swirling:

"Logically speaking, the combat power of such an avatar is at most around that of a Level 5 Morning Star Wizard... and as I recall, the Lord Mayor of the Mechanical City is a true Level 6 expert.

What’s more, there is more than one Morning Star Wizard in charge of that city…”

"In fact, they don't even need to take action. They only need to activate the magic array to keep the invaders out. That is a masterpiece of the advanced mechanical wizard industrial system. How can a few Morning Star wizards forcibly break it open?"

He was slightly puzzled, but not worried:

"But it doesn't matter... If the Spirit Eye Wizard is really in danger, I can forcibly recall him through the 'Scales'."

Because of this, Lin En can still leisurely control the Spirit Eye Wizard at this moment and watch the high-altitude game as a prelude to war with cold eyes.

However, just as he was wondering how Searle would launch his next attack, the black-robed Morning Star Wizard in front of him slowly raised his head and spoke calmly and lowly:

"The next scene is destined to leave an eternal mark on the entire wizarding world."

His words were like a stone hammer hitting the lake of my heart, every sentence was heavy and every word was sonorous.

"Countless years ago, that sixth-level Morning Star wizard who was stripped of his original power...

Now, the power I control..."

"Enough... to shake Huiyue!"

boom!!!

The moment the words fell, Sel's body suddenly shook violently, and one terrifying spiritual energy wave after another surged out of his body like a volcanic eruption!

The first thing that seeped out from behind him was a strange, almost viscous black substance, as thick as ink and flowing like a snake.

They seemed to break through the boundaries of reality, erupting from the cracks in space, tearing through the void, and wriggling like tentacles of hell.

“Sizzle!”

Accompanied by skin-numbing corrosion sounds, these dark tides quickly gathered and accumulated behind Sel, and in almost the blink of an eye, they formed a towering wall!

It towers into the clouds, blocking out the sun and moon. Its surface is covered with endless dark lines, glowing with a sickly green phosphorescence, and the air is filled with bursts of disgusting odor.

It was an indescribable evil breath of the origin of life, like a cursed black sea, awakened from the depths of a dusty era!

Lin En looked from afar through the perspective of the Spirit Eye Wizard, and suddenly held his breath. His chest suddenly tightened, and his mind seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand.

"What is that...?"

"The power he unleashed... actually caused my mental energy to go into a riot..."

You know, Lin En is not on the battlefield in person at this moment, but is watching the battle with the indirect perspective of the Spirit Eye Wizard.

In other words, from the actual fluctuations on the battlefield to his own spiritual perception, there is at least a wizard's body in between, so there shouldn't be such a strong feedback.

But even with this buffer, the dark wall that stretched between heaven and earth still emitted a maddeningly polluted aura through the Spirit Eye Wizard's perception system, and heavily crashed into Lin En's consciousness.

"This strange power... why does it feel so familiar... It's like the tainted aura from those legendary evil gods from the endless planes..."

Lin En's eyes sank slightly, and the several permanent witchcraft marks engraved on his body quietly emerged at this moment, emitting rays of light, as if defending himself and alleviating the trembling and frenzy of his spirit.

Fortunately, he is now a true Morning Star Wizard with a strong spirit and a consciousness as concentrated as the stars. There is still a projection distance between him and the Spirit Eye Wizard.

Otherwise, if he was still just the third-level wizard, even with just this quick glance, his soul would have been polluted and distorted, and he would have become confused and insane at best, or died on the spot at worst!

"...I am so far away, separated by a perspective, and yet I have been so shocked..."

"Then... within the nearby Mechanical City, those facing the Black Wall must be in a terrifying... predicament."

At this moment, the summoned black wall has completely condensed into shape!

It stands between heaven and earth, a thousand meters high, blocking out the light from the sky, and its surface is crawling with densely packed black snakes.

Like living things flowing on its skin, they entangled and intertwined with each other, flowing down sticky and smelly liquid, and making a disgusting "sizzling" sound.

The tongue of each little snake was moving slightly in and out, and the scarlet snake tongue as sharp as a needle seemed to be probing the cracks in reality.

If it were just one, perhaps I could still bear it.

But on top of that black wall, there were tens of thousands of their kind, stacked up layer upon layer, surging like waves!

This scene seemed to have created some kind of malicious spiritual ripples.

Every wriggling of a snake and every dripping of liquid disturbs the spiritual stability of the world.

It is a multi-dimensional infection mechanism that does not rely on any physical contact!

Visual pollution, auditory erosion, olfactory interference, and even the pollution hidden in the air and the touch and perception between breaths...

If you see it, you will be infected;

If you hear it, you will be eroded;

If you smell it, you will go crazy;

Touch, body and soul are torn apart;

Even if you don't "sense" anything, as long as you exist in that area, it is difficult to escape the spread of its spiritual ripples!

And the direction of this spread is directly towards the Mechanical City!

As expected, in the Mechanical City within the radiation range of the black wall, many wizard apprentices and low-level wizards who were still unaware of the situation, showed collective abnormal reactions without any warning!

Someone's pupils suddenly dilated, and then their heads tilted, their souls exploded, and they died instantly.

Someone raised the corner of his mouth, revealing an extremely strange smile, and then he began to dance and chant meaningless spells like a madman;

Others fell to the ground with their limbs stiff, twisting their bodies like insects crawling backwards, their heads down and their feet up, their hands and feet intertwined, like a monstrous "strange creature" wandering on the ground...

This is no longer a simple witchcraft attack, nor is it some kind of illusion projection of mental magic.

This is pollution, it is the "distortion of reality logic" after the arrival of the evil god's breath!

When Sel's clone released this black wall, he seemed to have pulled the battlefield from the wizard's dimension into some crazy abyss law!

And the most frightening thing is...those contaminated by the Black Wall are not just low-level wizards.

Among those who were infected, there were many powerful wizards such as the first, second, and even third level wizards!

They are supposed to be the ones with strong will and strong spirit in the wizarding system.

But even so, he still fell into loss of control, confusion, and collapse in the first round of mental ripples of the black wall!

As for those extraordinary people who have not yet officially entered the ranks of wizards and are only at the apprentice level...

At the first moment when the spiritual pollution came, they all fell to the ground and died like puppets with their souls plucked out!

They didn't even have a chance to struggle!

At this moment, the black wall summoned by Selna was nothing less than an inhumane spiritual massacre, turning the entire mechanical city into a wailing purgatory!

This massacre does not come from the level of flesh and blood or life, but is a pollution that penetrates deep into the core of consciousness: a spiritual infection that cannot be defended, avoided, or detected!

It penetrates silently, yet explodes violently!

In just a short moment, the mechanical city has become a nightmare place of flesh, blood and metal.

Ninety-nine percent of all living beings, whether wizards, apprentices, or artificial life forms, were completely annihilated in the spiritual world the moment the black wall descended.

What is even more despairing is that even those mechanical creations and alchemical constructs that have no concept of "consciousness" are also affected by the fluctuations of the black wall and have become out of control and disorder.

Some mechanical bodies trembled violently, as if they were mad;

Some self-destruct programs are activated, frantically releasing the energy stored in the body;

Some began to attack their own kind, as if under orders from evil gods;

Many more were paralyzed on the spot, their eyes emitting a crimson glow, as if controlled by some indescribable will...

At this moment, the entire mechanical city seemed to have fallen into doomsday!

This sudden change immediately and completely alarmed the high-level wizard forces hidden in various places in the city.

Powerful witchcraft auras suddenly erupted from the depths of the city, and the Morning Star-level beings could no longer remain silent and watch.

They all took off into the air and headed straight for the dark wall!

Soul fluctuations intertwined layer by layer, and the mark of the Morning Star emerged in the void.

Even though these Morning Star warriors had never witnessed it with their own eyes, they had already sensed the deep malice from the "Black Wall" in their mental network.
