Cultivating in the Wizard World-Chapter 237 - 210: Wrath of Flamefrost (4)
When most of the wizards followed the mission instructions and entered the fortress node made of metal.
And merged their Spiritual Power into its core, taking over control.
Jeming was surprised to find that the seemingly simple "Ship Plane" that had been carrying them all along began to undergo "Transformation".
The grand and deep rumbling sound was not coming from the outside world but erupted from the deepest part of the Plane itself, from inside out!
Rumble rumble rumble rumble!!
The wasteland surface beneath his feet began to shake violently, with cracks spreading like a spider web in all directions. Then!
The central ground of the Ship Plane was torn apart as if by an invisible giant hand.
Blazing Rune lights surged out from the abyss, illuminating the entire sky! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
In Jeming’s shocked gaze, a super cannon entirely made of Unknown Metal, engraved with intricate Runes, slowly rose like a prehistoric Giant Beast.
The diameter of the main cannon’s muzzle alone was over ten kilometers, like a gaping abyssal mouth!
Its barrel extended to an unknown depth in the Ship Plane.
During the cannon’s ascent, the terrifying energy fluctuations distorted the surrounding space, emitting an aura of destruction capable of annihilating everything.
Apart from this super cannon as the main cannon, which had a muzzle diameter of over ten kilometers and an unknown length, other armed features also emerged densely from various parts of the Plane like new life breaking ground!
From the Space Annihilation Cannon that directly obliterates matter from Twisted Space, to the Shield Generator capable of withstanding Plane Level attacks, to the Elemental Field Suppressor that can suppress enemy Elemental Manipulation...
There were countless Energy Rail Cannons, Rune Missile Slots, and even a Floating Fortress hidden within the high-altitude clouds.
In just a few seconds, the whole Ship Plane transformed from an unremarkable barren surface into a war fortress bristling with dense weapons like a hedgehog.
Its form and energy fluctuations all proclaimed its true identity.
Is this really a ship?
Clearly, it is a war fortress remodelled by wizards using the Plane as a base!
Jeming was left speechless at the sight before him.
He finally understood why the Plane’s surface was barren, without even proper cities or ecosystems.
It was purely because the entire Plane had been armed and transformed, with all its internal Energy concentrated in the core region to drive these terrifying weaponry!
The whole Ship Plane itself was never just a simple "transport ship" from the beginning but was instead a thoroughly transformed, heavily armed super battleship!
"Isn’t it quite a surprise?"
A voice with a teasing smile sounded in Jeming’s ear.
Viola appeared silently like a ghost beside Jeming, her silver-gray eyes gleaming with excitement at this moment!
"This is Augustine Wizard’s plan in the face of the miraculous creatures like those in the Ice and Flame Plane... a backup."
Viola’s voice still carried a sickly glee, but now also with a deep pride.
She explained to Jeming, "After Augustine learned the truth of the Ice and Flame Plane from the information provided by Elvin and the two Kings of Monsters, he began designing a comprehensive plan."
"Leaving the Ice and Flame Plane and returning to the Boundary Point with troops was not only to allow the Living Plane to lower its guard, creating an opportunity for a heavy strike." Viola paused, glancing at the Lava Giants and Yeti Legion hovering in the air on the Ship Plane.
"It was also because of the need for a larger number of wizards to perfectly operate this ultimate war fortress of the Ship Plane. The existing number of wizards was far from sufficient. This big guy requires a massive Wizard Legion to work in coordination!"
Viola’s explanation spun Jeming’s thoughts at high speed, making him realize another critical issue: "So... when did Master Augustine know the real situation of this Plane? Did you... also know about these beforehand?"
He looked at Viola intently.
Viola readily admitted it, even wearing an expression as if saying "you finally figured it out".
"As for the truth of the Ice and Flame Plane, during our initial landing battle, after Master Elvin and the King of Yeti Aglon, as well as the King of the Lava Giants Karamos fought for the first time, we got the exact information from the two Kings of Monsters." Viola explained, "From then on, wizards above the Third Level knew the relevant information and started preparing secretly for today’s scenario."
"As for why only wizards of Third Level and above knew..." Viola revealed a sly smile, "It’s because only wizards who achieved Third Level Realm truly grasp the Law Power of their own."
"Only wizards at this level can avoid having their information probed by the Plane Origin; low level wizards can also perform some other tricks but ultimately can’t achieve deeper ’deception’. Therefore, to avoid alarming the enemy, it’s natural for low level wizards to be kept in the dark."
Hearing that, Jeming couldn’t help but sigh. This meant that all Second Level and below wizards were essentially cannon fodder in this conflict.
But he also admitted that what Viola said was right.
The setting of wizard levels indeed involves deeper considerations.
Unlike the numerous complex conditions for advancing to First and Second Level wizards, the promotion from Third to Sixth Level wizards had only two rigid requirements:
One is reaching the required strength of Spiritual Power;
The second is the mastery percentage of any "rule".
If fully understanding all the knowledge and operation methods of a rule is regarded as 100% progress, then after a Second Level Wizard reaches the spiritual power standard, they only need to reach the minimum threshold to be able to master the power of rules in a certain field.
That is, mastering 0.1% of a rule allows one to be promoted to a Third Level Wizard.
A Fourth Level Wizard requires mastering 1% of progress.
A Fifth Level Wizard requires mastering 10% of progress.
And only by fully mastering all the mysteries and knowledge of an entire rule can one ultimately advance to a "Sixth Level Wizard".
At this point, the wizard’s very existence is like the embodiment of the rule!
Dealing with such powerful entities as the Living Plane, one must be extremely cautious; any leak could lead to complete failure.
"Indeed... power is everything," Jeming exhaled deeply.
Soon, he realized another problem, "Since even Third Level Wizards know these secrets and are involved in the plan... So when we were discussing geological issues back then, were you actually acting?!"
"Yes." Viola smiled, her eyes squinting.
Especially feeling the conflicted aura emanating from Jeming after hearing her reply made her unable to suppress a broader smile.
"Really..." Jeming didn’t know what to say.
He still remembered when the two of them discussed, Viola had seriously speculated about whether there might be any special technology within the two monster settlements.
"Is this the acting of the older generation? I have to admit, it was so genuine that it even fooled our own people," Jeming felt a slight sense of defeat at that instant.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to change the topic, "Then you... Sister Viola, why are you here with me? You are a Third Level Wizard and should have more important tasks, right?"
Upon hearing this, Viola shrugged, her face once again showing that slightly nonchalant yet confident smile.
She nodded, indicating that was indeed the case.
"Oh? Then what is your task?" Jeming asked curiously.
"My task..." Viola replied with a meaningful smile, and then suddenly changed the topic, saying something that left Jeming at a loss for words, "It’s very important, so... I actually have a lot of free time right now."
"You..." Jeming was about to retort, but Viola interrupted him.
"Get ready, dear Junior Jeming!" Viola patted Jeming on the shoulder, "Your task is about to arrive!"
Jeming blinked, too focused to continue discussing her cryptic task with Viola.
Because, after the Ship Plane fully completed its "transformation", its gigantic main cannon began to gather a terrifying amount of energy capable of ending a plane!
At the same time, the Living Plane below let out an earth-shattering roar!
The two planes had officially declared war!
BOOM!!!
The battle between the planes surpassed any conventional understanding, simple and brutal, yet supremely majestic!
The Ship Plane’s super main cannon was the first to send out a massive roar that shook the void.
A searing white beam of pure energy, over ten kilometers thick, ripped through the void with the power to melt everything, tearing through the spatial fissure and bombarding the Living Plane below!
Where the beam passed, space distorted and annihilated, and even the fissures connecting the planes seemed to wail.
But the Living Plane was not to be outdone.
Its "Magma Mouth" opened wide, and massive magma torrents, mixed with the destructive Law of the Fire Element and countless scalding rock meteors used as ammunition, counterattacked like a raging storm!
Simultaneously, its "eyes", representing the Flame Sun Realm and Frost Dark Realm, began to spin frantically, firing off extremely terrifying energy beams!
One was a high-temperature beam full of destructive might, while the other was a time-warp beam that could instantly turn one into a withered skeleton.
Buzzing sounds filled the air!!!
The Shield Generator around the Ship Plane was immediately fully activated.
A transparent energy shield, composed of composite runes, quickly unfolded around the ship, blocking most of the incoming attacks!
However, every magma torrent impact and every gaze from the Time Eye forced the Ship Plane itself to emit a deep groan.
The mountains on the plane’s surface collapsed in the aftermath of energy collisions, with glaciers evaporating in an instant!
This no longer resembled a war between wizards and monsters but a battle between two intelligent beings, fighting for life in the void!
