The crystallized Max remained expressionless as he floated in the air. He stretched out his hands and crystal-like fragments revolved around his hands before transforming into a layer of crystals that covered his hands. Terrifying mana fluctuations spread out as law runes floated around Max's hands before rapidly merging with them.
A glaring light shone, and at this time, Lin Yun, who had just released a Four Element Law Bomb, immediately used his Draconic Staff to touch the surface of the Book of Mantras. An incantation flickering with the radiance of the four elements was drawn out and mana frantically poured into that incantation. In an instant, another Four Element Law Bomb condensed and flew towards the area with the strongest mana reaction outside the cave.
Just as the spell Max had condensed was about to be released, that Four Element Bomb rushed towards Max's surroundings. After colliding with the terrifying mana fluctuations around Max's body, the Four Element Bomb suddenly exploded and the destructive power instantly attacked Max's Crystal Shield.
Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the Crystal Shield, but the Crystal Shield didn't show any signs of shattering. But the Four Element Bomb exploded at such a close distance, and the most powerful impact was the Four Element Bomb.
The terrifying impact caused Max's Crystal Shield to be blasted into the sky along with Max. In an instant, he was blasted several hundred meters away. After shaking in the air for a few seconds, Max stabilized his body once again. The light condensed on his hands flew out and landed on the cave on the ground.
At this time, Lin Yun led everyone out of the cave. They were less than a hundred meters away when the two glaring lights released by Max fell into the cave.
Suddenly, terrifying Mana fluctuations appeared like a tsunami. Gales whistled, the earth trembled, and the entire cave trembled.
The huge insects in the depths of the cave were no longer suppressed by the elemental storm and frantically rushed out of the cave. Countless insects piled up together and looked like a group of marching ants as they rushed out.
Suddenly, a glaring light shone from the inside of the cave, and the sound of something tearing through the air kept echoing as if countless bombs were exploding at the same time.
Thick crystal spikes burst out of the cave's stone walls. The several-dozen-meter-tall crystal spikes crisscrossed the ground, and there were at least several hundred of them.
In a split second, the giant worms that came out from the depths of the cave were pierced by these crystal spikes. As the number of crystal spikes increased, the gaps between each crystal spike became smaller and smaller. The giant worms that weren't pierced were also squeezed to death by the terrifying impact of the spikes …
On the ground, crystal spikes that were tens of meters long burst out of the ground. In almost a second, the interior of the cave was filled with crystal spikes. Looking from the outside, thick crystal spikes also burst out of the cave. It looked like a flower of crystal spikes that was hundreds of meters in size had suddenly bloomed.
Xiuban turned his head to look at the completely covered cave and the outside with a pale expression. His lips were shivering. Even if his body was powerful, he wasn't powerful enough to ignore these crystal spikes. If he was hit head-on, he would definitely be pierced through.
There were at least several tens of thousands of insects rushing out of the depths of the cave, but they were all instantly killed.
The entire cave and even the ground around the cave were pierced by countless crystal spikes. Everything alive within a few hundred meters was instantly killed. Even the rocks were crushed into fragments by the crystal spikes.
Blood converged into a river and flowed through the gaps between the crystal spikes. The thick blood carried a pungent fishy smell as it spread out like an explosion.
The nearest crystal spike was only seven or eight meters away from them. There were even drops of viscous blood dripping from the surface of that dazzling diamond-like crystal spike.
Lin Yun turned his head to look at those crystal spikes. A bit of inspiration appeared in his mind, but it was instantly cut off.
After Max's attack missed, he immediately launched a new attack. A crystal ball that reflected a beautiful light fell from the sky. When it was halfway down, the crystal ball suddenly exploded. Countless crystal spikes exploded like countless icicles exploding in all directions. A dense rain of crystal spikes fell from the sky, covering an area of at least three to four hundred meters.
These crystal spikes attacked the surface of Lin Yun's Fusion Shield, and clanking sounds kept echoing. These crystal spikes' piercing ability was terrifying. They clearly weren't very powerful spells, but the sharp points of the crystal spikes could easily pierce through Lin Yun's Fusion Shield. After piercing through a bit, the crystal spikes would shatter into countless fragments before transforming into sparkling radiance and dissipating.
As the battle unfolded, the other powerhouses of the Crown of Thorns also joined the fray and rushed over. Apart from the powerhouses who had been blasted away, there was also a swarm of magical beasts that surged over like a tidal wave.
Lin Yun took a deep breath and spat out three law runes. In an instant, a pitch-black vortex appeared behind Lin Yun and rapidly condensed into a ten-meter-tall, twenty-meter-wide Planar Gate.
A ball of flames rushed out of the Planar Gate before falling several dozen meters away. The flames slowly converged and fifty mages were revealed from within the flames. Their hair had already turned red and they were wearing crimson flame robes. They looked like a group of mirages amidst the flames.
When the fifty mages appeared, the surroundings started burning on their own. The elemental flames were burning on their own and the surrounding temperature was frantically rising.
Ever since the Natural Demiplane's Four Elemental Laws started deriving their own branching Laws, the fifty mages had been comprehending the power of the Laws there. Lin Yun's generosity allowed them to directly merge with the Law of Fire. This method of comprehending the Laws made their speed at comprehending the Laws reach an unimaginable level.
From the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm onwards, they needed to comprehend the power of the Laws in order to rise in rank. At this time, they were only in contact with the Laws. Accumulating mana wasn't as important as comprehending the Laws.
As long as their comprehension of the Laws could keep up and their mana accumulation could keep up, their ranks would frantically rise.
There was no need to choose the foundation of the Laws of the fifty Mages. It was the pure Fire Law. However, the fifty of them had comprehended all the branches of the Fire Law. They had comprehended all the branches of the Fire Law. They had comprehended all the branches of the Fire Law.
After a few years of focused comprehension, coupled with the fact that they didn't need to worry about mana accumulation in the Natural Demiplane, the fifty mages could already be considered a single entity. The fifty of them could be considered a complete projection of the Fire Law.
The most powerful, Kurumu, was already a Peak 8th Rank Archmage, while the weakest was a 7th Rank Archmage. The fusion of the fifty mages could already display the terrifying power of the mage army, even if the gap was incalculable when compared to the future Burning Legion.
But with the current situation, no one under the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm could resist the mage army on their own!
As the mage army was pulled out, the Planar Gate once again spurted out a flood of steel. Countless puppets rushed out of the Planar Gate, the weakest of which was Level 30. Moreover, these Level 30 puppets had all been produced at the very beginning and could only be used as cannon fodder.
The weakest of the later ones were Level 33, and most of them were Level 35. There were even a few Level 38 and Level 39 puppets.
In a dozen seconds, four to five thousand steel soldiers rushed out of the Planar Gate, and the steel army didn't show any signs of stopping. It looked like there were still countless steel soldiers waiting on the other side of the Planar Gate.
They hadn't dared to open the Natural Demiplane's Planar Path before, they hadn't even dared to take things out because they were afraid that the spatial fluctuations would wake up that monster. But it didn't matter now, the monster had thoroughly awakened.
After opening the Planar Gate, Lin Yun flew towards the sky to fight Max. Max was the biggest threat here, he didn't need to worry too much about the others.
Max and Lin Yun started fighting in the sky, and on the ground, the Crystal Sheldon was the strongest. After being sent flying, he rushed back the fastest. Xiuban grinned as he raised Carnage and rushed out.
Reina faced five Crystal Bloodline Warlocks. Of the people in the Crown of Thorns, Max was the strongest. He was at the 5th Rank of the Heaven realm and was a Bloodline Transplant Mage. Sheldon was next. He was at the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm, but he had transplanted a Demonic Bloodline and even a Demonic Horn. Adding on other Demonic Components, the more he fought, the stronger he became. His fighting strength could even reach the 4th Rank of the Heaven realm.
There was also Sunny, who was at the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm. Apart from her fatal flaw, she could display more power than an ordinary 3rd Rank Heaven powerhouse. The remaining Bloodline Transplanted Warlocks and Bloodline Transplanted Mages were also at the 1st Rank of the Heaven realm.
Reina had no problem dealing with these 1st Rank Heaven Warlocks. It wasn't that Reina didn't want to deal with a few more, but that the remaining seven had already been taken care of by the mage army.
Over thirty thousand puppets had already rushed out of the Planar Gate, and that number was still rising. Apart from those Level 30 cannon fodder, the weakest remaining was Level 33. Such an army was like a red-hot knife stabbing into cheese as it was a one-sided slaughter.
The tireless and fearless steel army faced off against the innumerable beasts that were also fearless of death. A fierce battle then began...
The puppet army split into a dozen sharp blades that kept shuttling back and forth among the magic beasts. Every second, a few thousand crystallized magic beasts would be torn to shreds. The earth was covered in shattered crystals and rivers of blood. The bitter aura made everything go berserk. The mana became berserk and the dark clouds in the sky were scattered.
The destruction continued. In the sky, those magic beasts that looked like a dozen-kilometer-wide dark cloud rushed down, and on the ground, several tens of thousands of casting puppets simultaneously raised their arms, fully activating their weapon systems.
In a split second, countless scarlet firebolts and blue frost bolts turned into a thick red and blue light beam that shot into the sky. The light beams converged together, and from afar, it looked like a huge red and blue light beam that was thousands of meters thick had struck the dark clouds in the sky.
Shattering, exploding …
A large number of flying magic beasts' corpses fell from the sky, and within a few kilometers, it looked like a rain of blood and crystals mixed together. The sound of the rain falling was like a torrential downpour.
The battle continued, and the steel army formed by a hundred thousand puppets appeared on this battlefield. These puppets weren't all of Lin Yun's stock. The puppet factory in the Natural Demiplane was churning out puppets day and night, and as the research progressed, the puppets produced would be of higher and higher grades.
A hundred thousand puppets against a few dozen million Crystal Beasts. Even if there was an average difference of ten levels between the two sides, the steel army formed by the puppets was a one-sided slaughter. But because of the huge number of Crystal Beasts, the puppets kept suffering losses.
But compared to the losses of the Crystal Beasts, this loss was completely negligible.
Looking from the sky, the ground was covered with a dense horde of beasts. The black mass occupied the land, and in this black mass of beasts, there were more than 30 sharp knives constantly shuttling. The 30 sharp knives seemed to be rotating in a circle, some were rotating clockwise, some were rotating counterclockwise.
A single dagger wasn't able to kill all the surrounding Crystal Phase demonic beasts, but following that, another dagger would kill a few more. These Progress Puppets formed circles after circles, crazily nibbling away at the number of Crystal Phase demonic beasts.
As for the casting puppets, they were sitting in the center of this circle and crazily casting. In addition to killing the flying magic beasts in the sky, they were also killing the magic beasts on the ground. Their efficiency was several times higher than that of the melee puppets.
On another side, the mage army that hadn't fought for a long time was fighting against the seven Bloodline Warlocks. They were controlled by monsters and their bodies had already crystallized, but it didn't affect their fighting strength too much. In fact, because of the crystallization, they were even more powerful and the negative effects of their bloodlines were reduced to a minimum.
The mage army converged together. Kurumu floated in the air, with twenty mages standing on the ground under his feet. Ten more mages were superimposed on top of each other, and the remaining twenty mages spread out.
Flames were raging and wisps of crimson radiance appeared. It was as if a hundred-meter-tall Flame Tree had appeared. The mages at the bottom were the foundation of this Flame Tree, the fire mages at the top were the branches and leaves of the Flame Tree, and Kurumu was standing in the center with the other nine mages. They were the trunk of this Flame Tree.
The raging flames spread and the crimson radiance condensed into the shape of the Flame Tree. Fire runes hung on the branches of the Flame Tree and transformed into the leaves of the Flame Tree. The twenty mages were like the fruits of the Flame Tree.
The raging flames spread from the bottom of the Flame Tree to the top. The hundred-meter-tall flames slowly spread and a law rune appeared in the center of the Flame Tree's trunk.
The three-dimensional law rune slowly rotated and seemed to be fused with countless fire runes. The power of every flame was reflected within it.
The seven controlled Warlocks with blood-meridian transplants cast spells to attack. Ice-cold air appeared out of thin air in the sky, like an ice-blue wave, and pressed down on the Tree of Fire.
Kurumu raised the Dragonscale Staff, and the strange law rune in the center of the trunk shone with light. In an instant, the flames at the top of the treetop suddenly rose and rapidly converged into the head of a hundred-meter-big monster.
The monster's head flew out and swallowed the wave of frost in one gulp. Immediately, the color of the monster's head turned dark red. Not only did the temperature not decrease, but it also increased by more than ten times in an instant. The terrifying heat caused the surrounding space to distort.
A second later, the monster's head opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of Bai Qi. Then it grinned, as if it had eaten a delicious meal. Then it flew into the air and swallowed the Warlock with the Bloodline Transplant who could use the power of ice.
The Warlock with the Bloodline Transplant was swallowed by the Flame Monster's head, and a large amount of frost immediately appeared on the surface of his body, freezing him into a block of ice. The monster's head held the block of ice in its mouth, and it constantly burned the surface of the block of ice, melting a large amount of ice, while inside the block of ice, more frost aura gushed out, constantly maintaining the ice.
The monster's head held the block of ice as if it was holding a candy. It floated in the air and seemed to have intelligence as it grinned, no longer fighting.
As for the other Bloodline Warlocks, they also started releasing their own methods: Earth Vein Shake, Blood Absorption, Mana Burn, Poison Corrosion, Soul Shriek …
The side effects of the six Heaven Rank Bloodline Warlocks had been reduced to a minimum after their crystallization. Moreover, when controlling the monster, it didn't care about the side effects or sequelae, it only used its strongest power.
But these powers had no effect on the mage army that had transformed into the Tree of Flames. The roots of the Tree of Flames were grabbing fire elements, not the true earth. The Earth Vein Shake had no effect. Everything within the Tree of Flames was fire itself, and the power of the earth couldn't destroy it.
Then, that Bloodline Warlock with earth power was bombarded by flames and fell to the ground. Flames kept condensing above his body and kept exploding, creating a huge hole in his surroundings. The impact of those explosions was like Xiuban's sledgehammer, continuously hammering that Bloodline Warlock's body into the earth.
