The newly ascended Rank 7 Great Emperor of the Fungus World, the Black Gold Tree Emperor Wal, was now employing a tactic of attrition, leading his grand army in a continual drain on the defenses of the seven-tiered fortress, much like the Wizard World United Army had besieged the Central Divine City for decades.
However, he did not believe that the Wizard World would suddenly produce several Great Emperor level strong individuals who would then counterattack because this was the Mushroom n’s Main World. Under the suppression of the Main World’s Original Will, no wizard could possibly ascend to beco a new Rank 7 Witch King in this world.
This was the advantage of ho ground, and Wal was very confident in defeating the invaders from the Wizard World, then cutting off the support of the Allied Forces, trapping the main forces of the allied army in this world, and ultimately surrounding and annihilating them.
For this purpose, the chief Guardian had been adopting a tactic of surrounding but not attacking the main force of the Wizard Alliance Army located within the plains inside the world, constantly harassing and besieging them without ever launching a large-scale assault, let alone a decisive battle.
The Black Gold Tree Emperor himself was a Black Gold Tree, one of the strongest tree species in the Fungus World, with a body made of black gold material, already one of the strongest among peers of top-tier tree species. After ascending to Great Emperor, he had beco even more powerful, possessing a total of eight main branches over six kiloters long and eleven main roots over ten kiloters long, which could burrow deep into the ground to draw energy from the Earth.
When facing formidable opponents, he could retract his branches and roots to twine together, forming a super Black Gold Tree Giant standing hundreds of ters tall, its massive black gold branches intertwining like muscular arms and smashing fiercely onto the seven-tiered fortress. With a ’boom,’ a great rumble echoed, and huge ripples spread across the tenacious defensive barrier, a violent gust of wind bursting from the impact site.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!...."
One deafening hit after another reverberated through heaven and earth, these terrifying blows that could easily crush a group of Dawn Wizards completely failed against the fortress’s defensive barrier.
"You haven’t taken down this fortress yet?"
A sharp voice appeared in the ears of the Black Gold Tree Emperor Wal. He halted his rising black gold arm and slowly turned back to see the Vault of Heaven torn open, a point of light flying out of the crack, rapidly transforming into a tiny figure radiating a brilliant, multicolored aura.
"It’s you, Biphosphorus!"
The Black Gold Tree Emperor was sowhat surprised to see this figure, and buzzingly asked:
"Did His Majesty send you here?"
This tiny figure radiating a brilliant, multicolored aura was smaller than a normal person, resembling the Flower Fairies present in many worlds, with a voice like that of a woman’s. However, the figure did not look like a beautiful girl but rather had a head akin to a cicada’s, with a pair of massive compound eyes emitting blinding firelight that swayed with its flight, and two sets of thin, cicada-wing-like light wings, which as they fluttered left behind traces of colorful radiance in the air that lingered for a long ti.
She flew swiftly to the shoulder of the Black Gold Tree Emperor, who had ceased attacking and was drawing back, and said:
"His Majesty no longer wishes to wait. He has sent with the tribe’s most treasured artifact, ready to activate and summon the projection of the Ancient Destroyer, to destroy the seven-tiered fortress in one fell swoop."
The Black Gold Tree Emperor sighed and said:
"This will be the last summoning. After it is used, the treasured artifact will shatter, and the seven-tiered fortress will also crumble into history, and the spatial gateway to the Wizard World will disappear."
Biphosphorus flitted back and forth on his shoulder, the sharp voice ringing out:
"That is exactly what His Majesty hopes for. Cutting off their retreat, we will keep the main force of the Wizard World trapped in this world completely. As for the rest, His Majesty will worry about it; we need not concern ourselves."
The Black Gold Tree Emperor, akin to a Titan, nodded and declared loudly:
"Then as His Majesty wishes, I will cover you while you prepare to summon the projection of the Ancient Destroyer!"
Biphosphorus, tiny in stature, turned into a dazzling ray of light that shot up into the sky and stopped at a height of tens of thousands of ters. At so point, she had already taken out a Crystal Heart covered with black patterns. She opened her mouth and spat out a stream of colorful light into the heart, her mouth beginning to chant.
As the incantations rose, the black patterns on the Crystal Heart that had absorbed the colorful stream of light began to glow. A mysterious and oppressive aura began to spread slowly.
The powerful wizards inside the seven-tiered fortress sensed the abnormality in the sky imdiately, but they were completely helpless. With the Black Gold Tree Emperor present, they were already pressured to remain inside the fortress and dared not go out. Now with the arrival of a new suspected Rank 7 Other Races individual, their hesitation grew worse; they could only order the activation of the reserve Witchcraft Formation, bracing for the unknown onslaught.
However, as the chanting beca louder and the Crystal Heart’s black patterns grew increasingly bright, it eventually exploded into a huge black sphere, accompanied by strange noises. Black pillars of light began to shoot out from the sphere in all directions, extending and weaving back and forth through the air. In no ti, an enormous Witchcraft Formation over several kiloters in diater ford in the sky, made of pillars of light and suspended there.
"Putong!"
A mysterious heartbeat suddenly sounded through the air, audible to all living beings within tens of kiloters of the area.
"Putong!"
Another heartbeat echoed, deeper and clearer, as if so terrifying entity was drawing near.
From the Void, a high-pitched scream could be faintly heard, as if coming from a great distance, passing through the Void, through the walls, through the sturdy Witchcraft Formation, and piercing the ears of all creatures.
"We’ve succeeded!"
Biphosphorus let out a sigh that sounded like a chant, turning to fly away from the area.
Below, the Black Gold Tree Emperor Wal ordered his subordinates to retreat from the region loudly, leaving behind only the many restless wizards and Allied Forces within the seven-tiered fortress.
"Rumble rumble!"
Low rumbles continued to emanate from the sky, and unknowingly, flecks of gray light began to fall like snow, as an invisible force of oppression and attraction bound these flecks around the colossal black Witchcraft Formation, creating a huge swirling vortex of gray.
The skies grew even darker, and space within the massive black Witchcraft Formation subtly twisted as the vast shadow of an entity slowly erged.
This was the head of an entity resembling a Demon, with an external structure like dark red crystals, akin to a fearso red Crystal statue, with a pair of twisted horns atop its head, entwined with countless gray Ghosts, streaking out and swirling back in.
Imnse pupils glowed with flas of blood, emanating captivating gazes.
As ti passed, a glint of intelligence slowly appeared within the pupils, and the blood flas started to flow, following the gaze downward.
"Boom!"
```
The imnse Rank 7 Fortress’s witchcraft formation, subjected to countless bombardnts by the Black Gold Tree Emperor, suddenly sunk inwards. An enormous claw imprint embedded deeply into the transparent barrier, pressing into it slowly yet firmly.
"Bang!"
Amidst the heavy, frightened breaths of Wizards and soldiers within the Rank 7 Fortress, the defensive barrier that had withstood the Mushroom n’s assaults for years shattered with that claw strike.
"We’ve done it!"
Gazing at the now breached defenses of the Rank 7 Fortress, the Black Gold Tree Emperor let out a hearty laugh:
"The damned shell is finally cracked! My children, it is ti to harvest these delicious souls!"
He raised his head towards Biphosphorus on the other side and spoke loudly:
"Thank you, Lord Biphosphorus, for bringing the Ancient Destroyer. As a reward, after we break the Fortress, you can take two-tenths of the souls!"
Biphosphorus extended three fingers and said:
"I want three-tenths!"
"Two and a half!"
"Deal!"
As they haggled, the space around the Vault of Heaven, where the imnse head of the Ancient Destroyer resided, unknown to them, began to shimr with strands of gold, quickly outlining complex patterns. The black that filled the Void slowly brightened.
The pupils within the head of the Ancient Destroyer, filled with the aura of Destruction, lit up again with a blood-colored fla, slowly moving.
This abnormal change imdiately drew the attention of the Black Gold Tree Emperor. He looked up, feeling a trace of trepidation at the Ancient Destroyer’s head that he had not noticed before, but the faint golden hue of the Vault of Heaven didn’t concern him very much. He spoke aloud:
"Lord Biphosphorus, please control the Destroyer; we still have use for this Rank 7 Fortress, and there’s no need for Destruction!"
At this mont, the Great Emperor nad Biphosphorus also sensed sothing off, and looked up, his face filled with astonishnt, and said:
"No, I haven’t ordered the Destroyer to continue attacking... Wait, what is that gold?"
Biphosphorus’s complexion changed drastically.
"This new golden formation isn’t the power of the Ancient Destroyer?"
The Black Gold Tree Emperor could already sense sothing was amiss.
Biphosphorus shook his head quickly:
"No, the Ancient Destroyer wields the Power of Destruction. Even though I’m not entirely clear about the nature of this golden witchcraft formation’s power, it’s definitely not that of the Ancient Destroyer."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive!"
The voice of the Black Gold Tree Emperor changed completely.
"Then..."
Just as he was about to ask more, suddenly, a sound like ripping fabric, a ’tear’, echoed from the Vault of Heaven. Everyone looked up and saw the Vault of Heaven above the Destroyer ripping open. Accompanied by a thunderous roar, an unimaginably powerful aura descended from it, and the entire world seed to freeze in silence.
Besides the Destroyer, the gigantic red Crystal Demon head let out an angry roar, and the blood fla in its pupils rapidly swelled.
Higher up in the sky, above the Destroyer, appeared a miles-long black fissure, and from its edges extended an enormous Golden Palm, gripping the edges of the spatial tear.
"Boom!"
Another giant palm reached out, grasping the other side of the fissure. With a screeching ripping sound, a torrent of Berserk Void Energy burst forth, and a gigantic head with golden skin erged from the crack, looking down upon everyone below.
This Titan’s head alone was more imnse than the Destroyer and the Black Gold Emperor; it regarded the two beams of blood fla, unleashed with full Strength by the now fully powered Destroyer, with a hint of curiosity, extending out its hand, which was even larger than the Destroyer’s, and pressed down.
"Boom!"
The sky-cloaking Golden Palm shattered layers of space with a single push, crushing down fiercely. The blood flas shot towards the Golden Palm and consequently broke apart, violently shaking the space around them.
The Golden Giant Palm, resisting the blood flas, pressed down and grasped the massive head of the Destroyer. And as everyone watched in shock, its fingers clenched.
"Bang!"
The Destroyer’s head, which had once appeared dreadfully formidable, now crumbled. Disintegrating into a sky full of black fla, it slipped through the spaces between the Golden Fingers and turned into a Berserk energy tide that shot in all directions.
Stunned by this scene, the Black Gold Tree Emperor only snapped out of his daze when the Berserk energy tide swept over him, his voice trembling for the first ti:
"Nightmare!"
