Chapter 759: Chapter 521: The Legend of Defiance: "Dawn Blade" and "Windwalker
At the heart of that destructive storm.
Eighteen points of light, like candle flames, had not been extinguished.
Nor had they scattered.
Far from retreating, they converged on one another at an astonishing speed!
Almost instantaneously, the eighteen Legendary Powerhouses had formed a complex and ancient battle formation.
Mage Delin was now at the very center of the formation.
He raised his Magic Staff high.
The Gemstone at the tip of the staff shone with an unprecedented light.
The light wasn’t blinding. Instead, it resembled a blossoming Star.
The next moment.
The other seventeen Legendary Powerhouses simultaneously extended their hands, unreservedly pouring their boundless, ocean-like Magic Power into the formation!
Seventeen torrents of energy, each a different color but all equally immense, shot skyward. They traced graceful arcs through the air before converging with perfect precision into the Magic Staff held aloft by Mage Delin!
HUMMM!
A hum, as if from the primordial dawn of time, reverberated throughout the heavens and the earth.
With Mage Delin at its epicenter, a colossal, translucent barrier abruptly expanded outward!
It was boundless, spanning the heavens and the earth.
Like a giant, inverted bowl, it enveloped all eighteen Legendary Powerhouses, along with the last patch of swamp beneath their feet yet untouched by the destructive storm!
The Wall of Sighs!
The ultimate defensive Magic, said in legends to be the strongest of its kind, jointly created by the first generation of Mages!
It was humanity’s most stalwart defense against world-ending calamities!
The very instant the Wall of Sighs took form.
The nine torrents of energy, each capable of annihilating everything in their path, finally crossed the intervening space and slammed into the barrier!
BOOM!
A terrifying roar erupted!
Light and shadow across the entire world twisted violently.
The Ice Wind Demon Serpent beneath Raylo let out a pained shriek, its massive body tumbling uncontrollably through the air.
Raylo clung desperately to the scales on its back to keep from being thrown off.
He felt as if his organs had been rearranged, as if the terrifying collision was about to tear his very soul to shreds!
’This is horrifying!’
The mere aftershock of the collision had nearly made him faint on the spot.
’What kind of terrifying pressure must the Wall of Sighs be under, enduring the full force of nine different Powers of Calamity?’
Raylo endured the piercing pain in his soul and stared intently at the distant battlefield.
He saw.
The nine world-ending calamities, like nine enraged Evil Dragons, tore at and slammed furiously into the massive, translucent barrier.
Crimson Flame, deep blue ice, violet Thunderbolt, a poison that corroded all matter, a black mist that reaped life, a hurricane that tore space asunder...
Each of these powers was a Calamity capable of destroying an entire Duchy!
And now, all nine powers were combined!
And yet...
The Wall of Sighs held!
Under the frenzied assault of the nine powers, the seemingly fragile, translucent barrier trembled violently and its light flickered, but it did not shatter!
"It... it held?"
Raylo gazed at the distant battlefield. He knew this was far from over.
This was only the beginning!
’A passive defense can never lead to victory.’
Just then, a figure within the formation took a step forward.
It was Master Wendel!
This Legendary Mage, world-renowned for his Fire Magic, now stood with his hair and beard on end, his eyes seemingly flowing with molten lava.
He didn’t chant a Spell. He simply reached out toward the Wall of Sighs before them and clenched his fist!
ROAR!
A clear, resounding dragon’s cry suddenly echoed!
On the section of the great Wall of Sighs enduring the assault from the Hydra’s flaming head, he was forcibly ripping out the crimson Fire Elements!
Under Master Wendel’s control, the endless Flame Energy rapidly converged and coalesced.
In the blink of an eye, a colossal Flame Dragon, its size rivaling a mountain range, appeared before the Wall of Sighs!
Its entire body burned with golden-red Blazing Flames, its scales were distinct, and its Dragon Mighty was immense.
The instant it appeared, it fearlessly met the Heaven-Burning Red Flame spewed by the Nine-headed Demon Serpent!
KABOOM!
The two torrents, both forged from the purest Flame, collided head-on in midair!
At that moment.
The terrifying light and heat forced Raylo to instinctively shut his eyes, even from over a hundred kilometers away.
The temperature across the entire swamp instantly soared to a suffocating level!
And that wasn’t all!
At the same time Master Wendel made his move, Master Morpheus also acted.
His hands danced before his chest, tracing a series of arcane patterns in the air.
A series of pitch-black Space Rifts appeared before him.
The moment the highly corrosive poison and the deathly silent black mist touched the Wall of Sighs, they were drawn by an invisible force and pulled precisely into those fleeting Space Rifts.
They were banished into an unknown Void Dimension!
In an instant, the two Legendary Masters had relieved the Wall of Sighs of the pressure from three of the calamities!
Even so, the six remaining powers were still terrifying enough to inspire despair.
The Gravity Domain was twisting space.
The Invisible Hurricane tore at the barrier.
The Chaotic Radiance eroded the very Magic Power structure that formed the barrier.
Worse still, the all-devouring darkness caused the light to rapidly dim on any part of the barrier it touched.
CRACK...
CRACKLE...
An extremely faint, yet now impossibly clear, cracking sound emerged.
On the supposedly indestructible Wall of Sighs... a spiderweb-like crack had finally appeared.
That crack was like a signal.
CRACK!
CRACK! CRACKLE!
Countless more cracks began to spread madly across the colossal barrier, visible to the naked eye!
