Wizard's Journey

Chapter 2037 Abyss Battlefield (Sixty-Two)

Squeak, creak, buzzing...

Several elite demons led by a few abyssal demons advanced at full speed, rushing towards the majestic metal continent that sat in the void. In the endless world rules, so-called fast and slow are never absolute, but relative.

What was that sound?

The most perceptive of the demon ancestors gazed intently into the depths of the void, but found nothing. They then looked again toward the metal continent of the Eternal Sky City, but because this metal continent was so vast and boundless, even these abyssal demons could only see a part of the Eternal Sky City from the void. The metal continent beyond their field of vision was swallowed up by the gray void.

Immediately afterward, the Formless Demon Ancestor, realizing what was happening, cautiously said, "Something's wrong. The spacetime pressure here is increasing. Be careful!"

It would take another 300 seconds to reach the Eternal Sky City. The void was deserted, a stark contrast to the previous attack. This change had already cast a shadow of conspiracy over the void, making the attacking demons uneasy. Now, the mysterious warning from the Formless Demon Ancestor had completely punctured their already tense nerves, causing them to panic and frantically search for the cause of the anomaly.

Still no abnormality was detected, but the spatial and temporal pressure around them was indeed increasing at an alarming rate, which confirmed the previous perception of the eccentric demon ancestor, which was not unfounded.

The pressure of time and space can also be converted into a unit of "degree" for calculation.

Normally, the calm void is a zero-degree spacetime pressure, which is more relaxed than the material and energy world and more conducive to the continuous acceleration of the void-style infusion.

However, the crucial point is that the void is not calm year after year. Instead, it is filled with a large number of void worms and void creatures, as well as incredibly powerful and limitless void storms. This is why it usually requires a dominant-level life form to traverse the vast void between world clusters. The spacetime compression generated by these super-large void storms between world clusters can reach hundreds of thousands of degrees and continues uninterrupted, making it difficult for lower-level creatures to survive.

In this chaotic and turbulent void battlefield, the degree of spacetime compression has been in a relatively low and fluctuating state, ranging from about 1 degree to several thousand degrees. Previously, when this insightful Demon Ancestor noticed the abnormal spacetime compression, the surrounding spacetime was only a few hundred degrees because it was a blank area of ​​the battlefield, and it was increasing in tens of degrees.

Because they were completely focused on the metallic continent, these powerful demon ancestors paid no attention to the spacetime compressions that felt like an itch.

Now, as the energy level exceeds three thousand degrees, it has begun to increase and erupt in increments of several hundred degrees. The Formless Demon Ancestors are still able to cope with it, but the low-level demons following behind them feel the pressure from the outside world and even let out muffled groans.

Beneath the bronze armor of the Tyrant Demon Ancestor, the atmosphere was heavy. After what seemed like careful consideration, the massive fangs protruding from its chest suddenly proclaimed, "Spread out! Get out of here! Full speed ahead!"

After saying that, the Demon Ancestor of Calamity took the lead and rushed towards the Eternal Sky City without regard for anything else. With the speed at which the Demon Ancestor of the Abyss was fully unleashed, he could reach the surface of the Eternal Sky City in a maximum of sixty sand seconds, while those low-level demons would need between two hundred and three hundred sand seconds.

call out!call out!call out!call out!

The eight Demon Ancestors were indeed much faster, while the lower-level demons behind them had to adjust their formation from a dense arrangement to a dispersed one, which slowed them down considerably. However, what was terrifying was that after the surrounding spacetime compression degree rose to 10000 degrees, it began to increase wildly at a rate of 1240, 1433, 1522, 1629, 1822, and 2250 degrees, and they could not escape the range of this increasing spacetime compression degree no matter what they did. Even with the powerful physique of the Abyss Demons, some level 5 Abyss Demons began to let out painful howls.

The immense pressure, from the outside in, caused every cell in their bodies to shrink, their bodies gradually shrinking, blood squeezing out from their abdomens and chests, accompanied by wailing cries from their fangs and gaping maws.

"I...I can't take it anymore, pfft, glug glug..."

The surrounding spacetime was like a pressure juicer, squeezing every drop of blood from the bodies of these poor creatures who could not withstand the external pressure. The fifth-level demons, who were the first to be unable to withstand the pressure, gradually curled up into a ball with their bodies and bones creaking and crunching.

In comparison, although the level six demons can still withstand it, if they cannot find the cause and escape the space-time compression range, they will eventually follow in the footsteps of these lower-level demons. In fact, these demons have already begun to react, and in fear, they are all rushing forward with all their might.

"Th-th-what...what is that?!"

Suddenly, the Formless Demon Ancestors, who had already distanced themselves from the lower-level demons, noticed the anomaly in the distant void first, thanks to their unparalleled life-level vision. It turned out that two steel continents were attacking them at high speed from different directions, trying to crush them to death!

It's no wonder these ancient demons of the abyss are like this. The Eternal Sky City was formed by combining all the sky cities left over from the Second Civilization War in the Wizarding World, and condensed over a long period of time with the wisdom and wealth of countless wizards. Its area is comparable to the main continent of a large world. Even the wizards who created it often felt a sense of awe and fear, let alone these demons.

Even the Eternal Sky City, as seen by the sovereign-level life form of the Formless Demon Ancestor, is merely the tip of the iceberg of this unprecedentedly magnificent metal giant.

It can be said that from the very first day of building the Eternal Sky City, Prometheus's plan was to achieve a vision and understanding beyond that of a ruler!

From Prometheus's perspective...

Snapped!

As if swatting away a flying insect, Prometheus's two metal hands clasped together briefly before slowly separating.

Looking at the small black dots stuck to his palm, Prometheus wiped them away with a slight sense of disgust, then looked at the few threatening poisonous bees and the few lucky, strong flying insects.

These poor little creatures, limited by their level of life vision and cognition, cannot even perceive the full state of the enemy.

After slapping most of the flying insects to death, Prometheus casually slapped his two large metal hands a few more times, killing all the visible flying insects. He didn't care whether one or two managed to escape. Only then did he look at the few nimble poisonous bees that had dodged his attacks, getting closer and closer, looking like they wanted to sting him.

"After all, he is the ruler, so he needs to concentrate."

In the blink of an eye, when Prometheus, the giant of the Eternal Sky City, swung his hand again, this time with focused concentration, the speed was indeed far greater than before. His palm tingled slightly, and with a "smack," a small black poisonous bee was swatted away into the unknown void.

As the other poisonous bees drew ever closer, the metal giant that Prometheus had transformed into nimbly leaped backward. For the metal giant, a single step was an immense distance to these poisonous bees.

"Hehe, hehehehehe, this kind of fighting style is unprecedented, it's really interesting."

The joy of battle was unprecedented. This crushing power at the level of life surpassed all techniques. On one hand, Prometheus felt the overwhelming sense of fulfillment from easily crushing a dominant-level creature, and on the other hand, he felt the countless little wizards flowing excitedly within his body as if they were his own blood.

As for these raiding overlords, they were already doing their best to evade these attacks that were beyond their comprehension, one after another. They couldn't understand how the wizards manipulated these enormous metal continents to launch such rapid attacks, nor did they know how many wizards were operating on these continuous metal continents. The mysterious void was full of unknowns, and in this fear of the infinite unknown, these formless demon ancestors only hoped to reach the Eternal Sky City as soon as possible, so that they could at least do something.

Just as the Formless Demon Ancestors were about to approach, suddenly, the Metal Continent of the Eternal Sky City flew a great distance ahead in an incomprehensible way, as if it were a mirage playing tricks on these tiny creatures, and was waiting for them in the void at the edge of their vision.

"What...what's going on?!"

The surrounding spatial and temporal pressure was increasing at an alarming rate. As another metallic continent hurtled towards them at breakneck speed, an indescribable and endless sense of despair completely overwhelmed these formless demon ancestors.

Compared to this eternal sky city, a colossal giant that has already exceeded the limits of ordinary beings' imagination, even a ruler-level being seems far too insignificant.
