I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 514 Astonishment and Clash

The moment he saw the figure in black robes, Jemin's mind completely focused, like a fully drawn bowstring.

All distracting thoughts, doubts, and the desire to eliminate the fleeing enemy were forcibly suppressed, leaving only the target radiating immense level six pressure in his eyes.

His near-death battle with the Hand of Annihilation had etched his wariness of level six wizards into his very bones.

Faced with this unknown and formidable foe, Jemin had no time or inclination to "test the waters".

In the blink of an eye, the twelve floating fire cannons moved according to his will.

Two of them slightly adjusted their angles, and the dark golden "continuous beams of light" slashed like the scythe of death across the last few enemy wizards who were trying to escape into the distance.

The screams abruptly stopped, and a few wisps of blue smoke quickly dissipated in the air.

The remaining ten floating cannons suddenly shone with an intense light!

After detaching from the cannon muzzle, the ten beams of divine fire converged precisely in the void.

With his immense mental power, Jemin forcefully guided and restrained these ten destructive energy streams, compressing and merging them again within an extremely short distance!
hum! ! !
The space groaned in agony, overwhelmed by the pressure.

A super-condensed beam of light, only the thickness of a thumb, with a deep color like a concentrated dark sun and dazzling incandescent patterns flowing around its edges, suddenly took shape!
Wherever it passes, light is swallowed up, and space exhibits a subtle sense of distortion as it collapses into the beam of light.

The beam of light was silent, yet it carried an all-piercing resolve as it shot toward the vital spot on the chest of the black-robed figure a hundred miles away!

The moment the beam of light was emitted, Jemin's pupils locked onto the target, ready to observe any possible response.

however……

He felt as if his vision was experiencing a brief "frame skipping".

Just moments before, the figure in black robes stood suspended in mid-air, his dark red gaze fixed on him.

The next instant, the other person's right arm seemed to blur for a moment, and then the palm was raised and held flat in front of the chest.

The converging beam, which combined the full power of ten floating cannons and was powerful enough to shatter an ordinary level six defense in an instant, vanished silently right in front of the opponent's raised palm.

It was as if it had been shot into an absolutely void point, leaving no trace of energy leakage; it simply vanished into thin air.

Jemin's heart clenched suddenly, and a chill ran down his spine to the top of his head.

The key point is not how the other side resolves the attack, but the other side.

Why is this enemy raising his hand?
Why is the palm positioned exactly in front of the beam attack?

Could it be... that he... can react to light?!

The shock of this thought was even more startling to Jemin than the fact that the attack had been neutralized.

The speed of light is the ultimate speed for information transmission in the conventional material plane.

Attack at the speed of light, a distance of 100 kilometers, in just 0.0003 seconds!
Being able to "react" to attacks at the speed of light means that the opponent's perception, thinking, and actions have touched or even exceeded the boundaries of certain physical rules!
This is something no ordinary level six wizard could do!
But Jemin forcibly suppressed his momentary shock, his fighting instincts and analytical habits working at high speed simultaneously.

Soon, his brain working at high speed made him notice a crucial detail: the two beams of light he had sent out to clear out the minions had not been intercepted by the enemy.

Given the terrifying ability the opponent displayed, which seemed to be able to react at the speed of light, annihilating those two beams of light would have been a piece of cake.

Unless... he is exceptionally cruel and stands by and watches his colleagues be killed?

But the look of surprise on the ambush men's faces when they saw him arrive was undeniable.

A commander who is so ruthless that he doesn't care about the lives of his subordinates is unlikely to inspire any hope of "a savior has arrived" in his subordinates during a crisis.

Therefore, it is more likely that the other party is not truly able to detect the speed of light across the entire domain!
His abilities may be limited to a certain range around his body, and he has achieved a response to "light-speed attacks that enter this area" through some unknown means.

"Could it be a localized change in the flow of time, a pre-set trap in the curvature of space, or an ultra-high-order predictive perception..."

In a flash, several conjectures flashed through Jeming's mind, but he couldn't be completely certain about any of them.

He needed more data, and he knew he had to immediately conduct more tests.

However, the enemy will not give him time to analyze the situation.

In that "moment" that Jieming's mind raced, the opponent's counterattack was already upon him.

The black-robed wizard simply raised his other hand, pointing his index finger lightly in the direction of Jemin.

In an instant, the surging fire element was mobilized, forming a sea of ​​fire in the sky that resembled an ocean.

With a flick of the wizard's finger, the sea of ​​fire in the sky crashed down on Jemin like a tsunami!

However, although the sea of ​​fire was enormous, in Jemin's perception, the energy intensity it contained was not particularly high.

At least, it is far inferior to the palm print of the [Hand of Annihilation], which contains multiple annihilating powers.

This attack appeared to be incredibly powerful, but apart from its exaggerated range, it was essentially just a simple manipulation of elements.

Guixu Jia should be able to block it easily.

Jemin made the judgment instinctively.

He could sense that the Guixu Jia field was operating stably, preparing to absorb and transform these "low-intensity" energy shocks.

But just as the flames were about to touch the invisible field of the Guixu Armor, the hairs on Jieming's body suddenly stood on end!

His instinct for deadly crises, honed through countless brushes with death, burned like a red-hot iron deep into his soul!

"wrong!"

He didn't even have time to think about what was wrong before his body reacted instinctively.

Within the inner cavern, a specially crafted magical artifact, already prepared and containing the complete activation runes of the Returning Void Armor, was instantly activated!
Another entirely new Guixu Armor field unfolded instantly, almost within zero distance of the old field!

At the same time that the new arena is about to unfold.

Snap!

A soft, yet chilling sound, like the shattering of glass, clearly entered Jemin's soul. He watched helplessly as the first layer of the Void Armor, which should have been as stable as Mount Tai, easily absorbing this "low-intensity" attack, suddenly exploded into countless pale golden light points the moment it came into contact with the sea of ​​fire, completely disintegrating and vanishing!

The destruction of the Guixu Armor was without warning and without any reason!

Immediately afterwards, the torrent of energy blasts slammed into the newly unfolded second layer of the Void Armor, producing a muffled, drum-like explosion.

The invisible field didn't even ripple violently; it easily withstood the remaining energy attack with just a few random ripples.

Jemin's heart pounded in his chest, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

How can it be? !
The intensity of the opponent's attack was clearly far below the limits that the Guixu Armor could withstand during his tests.

Even compared to the attack of the Hand of Annihilation, this attack could be described as "insignificant".

But it was precisely this "weak" attack that inexplicably shattered the Guixu Armor in a way he couldn't understand at all!

That feeling of shattering wasn't overload, nor was it erosion; it was more like a negation at some "rule level"!

It was as if the finger that the other party pointed out was not only energy, but also had a "penetrating" characteristic that was specifically designed for "energy absorption and conversion fields" and ignored the intensity judgment!
If it weren't for his intuition about danger from the Body Tempering Technique, which allowed him to apply the second layer of the Returning Void Armor in advance, he would have already taken all the subsequent elemental bombardment!

With his current physical strength, he's definitely dead!

This enemy... is more dangerous than the [Hand of Annihilation]!

Jemin's internal alarm instantly went up to the highest level.

A hundred miles away in the void, the dark red eyes of the level six wizard in black robes flickered slightly beneath his hood, and he let out a barely audible "Eh."

Although his attack was not at full power, the inherent laws it carried were enough to shatter the defenses of most level six wizards, and even penetrate the defenses of many level seven wizards.

But this level 5 kid... actually blocked it?
Although the defensive method used may seem a bit tricky, it should be noted that many level six wizards would not be able to withstand this seemingly ordinary attack even if they used tricky methods.

Jemin's response finally made the wizard take him seriously, and he quickly retrieved the relevant information from his memory.

"This spiritual energy and elemental fluctuations... are very similar to those left on Caron and Alice."

The black-robed wizard's expression turned serious.

It seems that the one who dealt with the madman [Hand of Annihilation] was this little guy in front of us who looks like he's only level five, but whose methods are extremely strange.

Being able to defeat the [Hand of Annihilation] certainly demonstrates their unique abilities.

Both sides, in their initial encounters of offense and defense, felt that the other was formidable and unfathomable.

A brief moment of shock and assessment are completed almost simultaneously in a high-speed thought process.

The next moment, a cold glint flashed in both of their eyes, and they held nothing back!
hum! ! !
Behind Jemin, twelve floating fire cannons resonated loudly!

The runes on the cannon muzzle lit up, no longer pursuing the ultimate aggregation, but instead frantically pouring out streams of dark golden Fiery Annihilation Divine Light at the highest frequency!

These beams of light no longer maintained "continuous illumination," but instead covered all directions around the black-robed wizard in a rain-like burst pattern—his head, limbs, torso, and even large areas above, below, left, and right!
Jemin wanted to test whether the other party's seemingly "light-speed reaction" ability covered the entire body or was limited to a specific area or posture!
At the same time, the array of magical artifacts engraved on his legs suddenly lit up, and the [Tai Xu Step] was activated!
The physical body becomes ethereal, generating high-frequency resonance with the energy of the surrounding environment.

His entire body transformed into an elusive pale golden afterimage, and he began to retreat wildly in an irregular, sharply zigzagging trajectory, trying his best to widen the distance between himself and the black-robed wizard!

Facing an enemy whose reaction speed is possibly "lightning fast" and whose attacks have a strange "defense-breaking" characteristic, close combat is absolutely foolish.

Maintaining distance, using long-range firepower and maneuverability is the wise course of action.

Meanwhile, within his inner world, the specially prepared "Return to the Void Armor Activation Weapon" began to be mobilized and activated at a steady pace.

As soon as an invisible field ripples due to an attack, the next layer quietly forms inside or outside the old field, like putting layer upon layer of "eggshells" around one's body.

Although he couldn't understand the principle behind the "breaking rule" characteristic in the opponent's attack, Jemin was certain of one thing: the Guixu Armor itself could withstand that strange power!
As long as you keep refreshing, you can form an effective defense!
The only cost is the rapid depletion of the reserves within the body's inner sanctum.

But Jemin made so many preparations before the war began precisely to prevent such a situation from occurring!
Faced with Jemin's sudden burst of firepower and high-speed maneuvering, a cold smile seemed to curl at the corner of the black-robed wizard's mouth beneath his hood.

He did not choose to pursue them at close range.

Faced with the barrage of incredibly fast-moving fire-divine light projectiles coming from all directions, his response appeared much more "casual".

His figure remained standing in the same spot, but his hands moved slowly in front of him, seemingly plucking the strings of a musical instrument, tracing strange paths.

With each swipe, a beam of dark golden light that had been attacking him was silently annihilated on an invisible surface in front of him, as if it had crashed into a bottomless black hole.

His movements were fluid and precise, as if he could predict the trajectory of every beam of light, yet they carried a strange sense of coordination that was not a "reaction" but a "synchronization".

Meanwhile, his counterattacks never stopped.

With his ten fingers, he played an invisible piano, and with each light touch, tens of thousands of energy blasts burst forth!

After discovering the way this little guy was resisting his power of law, he chose the energy bullet, a method that was simple to release but had an extremely high attack frequency.

At the level of a sixth-level wizard, each round of spellcasting can release tens of millions of energy blasts.

Even under his deliberate control, some of the energy projectiles no longer pursued maximum speed. Each round of energy projectiles was divided into dozens of waves of attacks, forming a dense, continuous barrage of bullets like a metal storm.

The afterimage of Jemin fleeing madly, constantly changing direction, swept over everything!

Each wave of attacks could easily shatter the Guixu Armor, and then another wave followed closely, forcing Jemin to continuously deplete his reserves to maintain that fragile "eggshell defense"!
Boom boom boom boom!!!

The dark golden divine light of the fire and the dark gray barrage collided, annihilated, and intersected wildly in the gray-white Gobi Desert.

One side is a precise, lightning-fast kill; the other is a vast torrent of energy.

Jemin's figure flickered like a ghost through the gaps in the barrage of bullets, while the floating cannons behind him unleashed their full firepower.

At this point, the Divine Light of Extinction of Fire was no longer just for attacking.

Under Jemin's control, each blast of the Fiery Annihilation Divine Light became incredibly thick, neutralizing and clearing away all energy projectiles in its path, leaving blank trails in the air.

The black-robed wizard remained as steady as a rock, easily deflecting all the beams of light that pierced through the barrage with a wave of his hands. At the same time, he completely engulfed the space where Jemin was with an almost endless rain of energy bullets, plowing it over and over again!
In an instant, the earth groaned and space trembled.

The moment the two sides met, they launched an unimaginably fierce attack!
