Cultivating in the Wizard World

Chapter 659: Chapter 561: War Approaches

Jeming instinctively looked down at the blue crystal in his hand.

The crystal was slightly warm, the light spots inside were slowly flowing, like they had life.

He slowly grinned.

"It seems my assumption was correct, it indeed caused effective damage..."

"No, it’s an effective kill."

Thinking this, Jeming just took a quick glance back at the surging white tide behind him, and then continued to fly towards the outside of the ship without hesitation.

In fact, the moment he rushed out of the crack, Jeming knew things were becoming troublesome.

The pure white barrier of the plane behind him was surging wildly, countless lights were converging.

The momentum was completely different from before, there was no doubt, these were the armies of the information creatures.

"Damn! These guys’ reaction is too intense."

Without saying a word, Jeming ran off.

His figure transformed into a stream of light, madly rushing towards the depths of the ship plane.

The next second, the crack exploded.

Countless information creatures poured out like a flood gate being opened, the pure white light instantly dyed half the sky.

They had no physical form, but their overwhelming presence was suffocating.

Detecting the enemy’s attack, the defense array of the ship plane activated instantly.

Dozens of light beams shot into the sky, massive elemental streams bombarded directly into the groups of information creatures.

Fire, wind, water, earth—the four great elements gathered under the effect of the array, then poured madly towards the enemy camp, tearing the frontmost enemies into pieces.

But those pieces didn’t dissipate into light points as usual.

They twisted in place, grabbing the surrounding energy, rapidly regrouping and recovering, recondensing into complete information creatures within seconds, continuing their charge.

"Damn it, what’s going on?!"

"Have they gone mad?!"

"Enemy attack, activate all arrays!"

Surrounding wizards’ cries of alarm could be heard.

While running, Jeming glanced back, his pupils slightly contracting.

The last time the information creatures chased out, it was a tentative attack, they retreated when hit by the array.

But this time the situation was completely different.

The number of information creatures was greater, and their fighting will more resolute.

They didn’t return to their base for resurrection like before, even when torn apart by elemental flows, even when polluted by chaotic information, they kept resurrecting in place, continuously charging.

It was as if something had provoked them to their core, prompting them to chase at all costs.

Of course, Jeming was well aware of this core line.

That "line" was the information creature he had truly killed just now.

He gripped the blue crystal in his hand tightly and ran even faster.

In the sky, the battle grew fiercer.

Until he reached the protection range of the array, only then did Jeming have the leisure to observe the current situation carefully.

Jeming noticed that the defense array of the ship plane was noticeably different from last time.

Apart from the regular elemental shock arrays, there were numerous special arrays he couldn’t understand in operation.

These arrays didn’t release elemental energy, but twisted chaotic information waves.

Every wave of information swept over, and a patch of information creatures had their outer energy disrupted, their cores spasming, then torn apart by subsequent elemental torrents.

In terms of actual effect, the chaotic information worked quite well.

Though these information creatures still resurrected after being harmed, the frequency of resurrection was significantly slower.

"Looks like during this time it wasn’t just me making progress. It’s only natural..."

Jeming understood in his heart.

The task Martin had issued, it seemed no one had been idle.

Moreover, the wizards had even found quite the correct method, perhaps it wouldn’t be long before they could cause real damage without him.

At this moment, the Magic Network Terminal suddenly vibrated.

[Emergency notice from Command: Jeming, come see me immediately. —Martin]

Jeming looked up at the fiercely battling sky, then at the still-warm blue crystal in his hand, decisively changing direction, flying towards the core camp.

Inside the command room, the atmosphere was strange.

As Jeming entered the hall, he saw all the High Tier Wizards gathered around a huge light screen.

The screen was showing the scene of his escape from the Information Plane, and the information creature army chasing out.

Martin sat in the main seat, a playful smile tugged at his lips as he saw Jeming enter.

"You’re here?"

Jeming stepped forward, bowing respectfully.

"Jeming greets Senior Martin and all the esteemed wizards."

Martin waved his hand, indicating he needn’t be so formal.

Then he pointed at the screen’s scenes, looking at Jeming with a smile that wasn’t a smile, "You rascal, you really surprised us."

Jeming’s mouth twitched slightly.

"To cause such a commotion, even all of us old guys together can’t compare," Martin teased slightly, "Tell us, what did you do to make these guys so agitated?"

The surrounding High Tier Wizards also looked at Jeming, eyes filled with anticipated curiosity.

Jeming awkwardly cleared his throat.

"Uh... This is indeed my fault."

"What fault?" Martin dismissed it carelessly, "They can’t get in for now. There’s still some time, we’re all curious... What did you do to touch their core interest?"

Jeming took a deep breath, knowing these wizards probably already had the answer in mind.

He took the blue crystal from his pocket, holding it in his palm.

"I killed an information organism."

The tent fell silent instantly.

Although they had already guessed some possibilities, hearing the words from the person involved, all the wizards couldn’t help but show expressions of surprise.

All eyes focused on the pale blue crystal.

Inside the crystal, countless tiny points of light moved slowly, as if possessing life.

"A true kill," Jeming added, "not just repelling or causing them to teleport back for revival, but complete annihilation."

A Seventh Level Wizard couldn’t help but take a step forward, staring at the crystal for a few seconds, then taking a sharp breath.

"Is this... its core?"

"It should be," Jeming nodded, "the energy and information condensed into a crystal after its death."

The sound of breathing around became heavier.

During this time, the wizards of the expeditionary army, based on Jeming’s proposed theory of "chaos restraining order," indeed developed many methods to quickly kill information organisms.

Elemental torrents combined with chaotic information could basically achieve instant kills.

But everyone knew that kind of "instant kill" was only temporary.

The core information of those information organisms would teleport back to the parent net at the moment of death and re-condense on the other side.

The so-called "kill" would at best make them temporarily exit the battlefield, only to return shortly after.

But the crystal in Jeming’s hand...

"How did you do it?" another Seventh Level Wizard couldn’t help but ask.

Jeming did not hide anything.

He raised his hand and pointed in the air, simultaneously unfolding two spell models.

"These are two Fifth Level spells I recently completed."

He pointed to the model on the left: "I named this ’Information Weave.’"

"A Fifth Level spell?" Someone frowned.

"Yes," Jeming nodded, "its core function is to sever the target’s causal connection with the outside world. I used it to sever all the connections between the information organism and the parent net, preventing it from teleporting back at the moment of death."

He then pointed to the model on the right: "This is called ’Painful Chaos Code.’ It compresses the chaotic information generated in a living being’s state of pain into an information toxin, specifically targeting the entropy reduction state of information organisms."

"First, use the chaotic data of Painful Chaos Code to attack, forcing it to allocate most of its calculation power to maintain its own order. When it experiences a momentary calculation lag, use Causal Severance to cut off all its causal lines, leaving it isolated and helpless. Then..."

Jeming gripped the blue crystal tightly.

"Exert Painful Chaos Code with full force, completely annihilating it when it can’t call for help or teleport."

The tent fell silent again.

After a long time, Martin was the first to speak, with undisguised admiration in his tone.
