In the training chamber, ti seed to freeze in the mont of fist eting fist, bone clashing against bone.
The final afterimage of ti completely collapsed under Jie Ming’s punch that contained the full explosive power of his entire body, his chest caving in utterly.
The elental energy that ford the body fell into violent disarray, then silently burst apart like a punctured bubble, dissolving into specks of flowing light that dissipated into the training field’s energy filtration system.
“Huff… huff…”
Jie Ming maintained his punching posture, breathing heavily. Sweat mixed with faint traces of blood mist slid down his bronze-colored skin.
He could clearly feel the qi and blood surging within his body like boiling magma.
An indescribable sensation of imnse power filled every limb and bone, accompanied by the primal instinct to destroy and vent that ca with such a sudden violent increase in strength.
“Ha…” He took a deep breath and circulated the calming and stabilizing technique from the Qi Refinent thod, suppressing the boiling qi and blood. His gaze gradually regained clarity.
Leaving the training field, he washed away the exhaustion and bloodstains from his body, then as usual stepped into the dicine bath barrel that had long been prepared.
Warm dicinal liquid enveloped him, nourishing the slightly damaged cells that had been pushed beyond their limits, while consolidating the new boundary he had just broken through.
A Black Giant Priest entered carrying detection instrunts. Jie Ming rely waved his hand, indicating there was no need to report the specific numbers.
Because there was no ti left.
Only the final stretch of ti remained before the Coordination War that would decide the fate of the Noren Workshop.
All preparations that needed to be made had entered their final phase. The strength that could be raised in the short term had almost reached its limit.
During this last period of war preparation, Jie Ming had repeatedly weighed his options and focused his limited energy and resources on the two most core matters.
First: continuously “consuming” those planar origins that carried the concepts of “Abyss,” “Devouring,” “Finality,” “Void,” and similar profound essences.
The power of the Return to Ruins Armor fundantally depended on the depth of his comprehension of the “Return to Ruins Concept”
The deeper the conception, the stronger the “essence” of that invisible force field, and the higher the upper limit of energy it could bear and convert.
The “elental output multiplier” brought by wizard knowledge was multiplied on top of this “base value.”
Even the slightest improvent in the base, when amplified by tens or hundreds of thousands of tis, would result in an astonishing final increase in defensive power.
Other spell modifications were unlikely to see qualitative leaps in the short term. Only the “base” of the Return to Ruins Armor could be forcibly pushed forward through this almost extravagant thod of “knowledge force-feeding.” Even tiny progress was enough to rapidly elevate combat power.
Second: hovering at the critical tipping point where the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit were about to fall out of balance, he relentlessly pushed his physical strength to the extre.
Whenever his ntal power and spiritual qi barely caught up a little through resource accumulation and natural nurturing, Jie Ming would imdiately throw himself into a new, even more insane round of ti-afterimage body forging, shoving his physical strength upward another brutal step.
He understood very clearly that on a wizard battlefield where everything changed in an instant and thods were bizarre and unpredictable, an abnormally powerful physique combined with the “adaptive evolution” provided by the Body Forging thod was the most reliable capital for survival and counterattack.
A powerful flesh body ant higher fault tolerance, natural resistance to physical and energy damage, and the maintenance of basic combat capability even in certain extre environnts.
To this end, he had also invested massive resources into improving his ntal power and spiritual qi.
He purchased all kinds of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and special environntal access rights that could quickly condense ntal power, ensuring he could barely keep pace with the frenzied, teoric rise of his physical body.
The price was that even with three continuous streams of inco—“Self-Stabilizing Field Adjustnt Protocol,” “Liquid Gold” and “Imaginary Elent Sales”—his enormous stockpile of low-grade military rits was being consud at a terrifying speed.
Massive amounts of planar origins, mountains of material purchases, and precious resources for improving ntal power—each and every one was a gold-devouring beast.
At this mont, soaking in the dicine bath, Jie Ming casually opened his terminal and looked at the pitiful few thousand points of low-grade military rit left in his personal account. He shook his head helplessly.
“Truly… spending money like flowing water,” he muttered to himself.
But it was worth it.
Every single point of military rit had genuinely been transford into weight on the scale of his war preparations.
With low-grade military rits almost completely depleted, Jie Ming’s gaze shifted to the still-considerable balance of over one million high-grade military rits.
He opened the redemption interface exclusive to high-grade military rits and began browsing through the strategic resources, forbidden knowledge, and one-ti top-tier items that were usually only accessible to high-tier wizards.
A dazzling list entered his view: strange objects containing rule fragnts, inheritance crystals recording forbidden techniques, life-saving talismans capable of briefly contending against seventh or even eighth-tier existences, super-technological creations from unknown civilizations, and even small portable law-interference devices…
Jie Ming looked carefully, but his brows gradually furrowed.
There were many good items, but given his current combat power, anything qualified to serve as his true trump card carried an exorbitant price.
Either they didn’t perfectly align with his existing system and would require large amounts of ti to use or study,
Or the prices were absurdly high—often requiring millions of high-grade military rits. His entire fortune could only afford one or two items, offering poor cost-performance.
“One million high-grade military rits… sounds like a lot, but at this level, wanting to buy sothing that can produce a decisive improvent or qualitative change is still far from enough.” Jie Ming calmly assessed his needs.
What he needed was not icing on the cake, but sothing that could break a deadlock at a critical mont or greatly enhance his tactical flexibility.
His gaze swept back and forth across the list, finally stopping on one item:
[Anti-Magic Disk · Star Orbit Tribunal Standard Model (Seventh-Tier Standard Type)]
Redemption Price: 200,000 high-grade military rits
Description: A one-ti strategic-grade interference device manufactured by workshops under the Star Orbit Tribunal. Once activated, it can forcibly construct an “Absolute Magic Ban Domain” lasting ten minutes within the designated area.
Within the domain, aside from specific energy fluctuations pre-marked by the user, all non-physical energy flows, law manifestations, spell model constructions, ntal links, and other extraordinary activities will suffer extre suppression and interference, equivalent to seventh-tier law suppression.
Effect drastically diminishes against eighth-tier and above existences that have already solidified their laws.
Remark: Standard strategic material. Usage requires registration. Please exercise caution when selecting timing and environnt.
“Anto-Magic Disk…” Jie Ming’s gaze slightly sharpened.
The effect of this item was simple and brutal—creating a temporary “silence” zone.
Low-grade military rits could also redeem magic-sealing devices with similar functions, but the difference in effectiveness was like heaven and earth.
This “Seventh-Tier Standard Type” ant it could impose powerful restrictions on the vast majority of seventh-tier wizards.
More importantly, judging from the description, if properly prepared in advance, it could even achieve one-sided magic suppression against the enemy.
In a chaotic battle, suddenly stripping away the transcendent power the opponent relied on most—even for just ten minutes—was enough to completely change the tide of battle.
Whether used for breaking out of encirclent, decapitation strikes, or covering the operations of special friendly forces, its effect would be miraculous.
Of course, the enemy was very likely to possess similar items, so the idea of truly one-sided magic suppression was basically unrealistic.
Even so, for Jie Ming—whose physical strength far exceeded his tier and who could still maintain considerable combat power even in energy-suppressed environnts—the compatibility of this item remained extrely high.
The price of two hundred thousand high-grade military rits was steep, but still within an acceptable range.
“This is the one.”
Jie Ming no longer hesitated. With a light tap of his finger, he confird the redemption.
The redemption process for high-grade military rits was extrely efficient. Almost the instant the order was placed, Jie Ming’s terminal received the notification that the item had already been delivered to the designated receiving point via encrypted spatial channel.
He imdiately used a ntal link to order a Black Giant Priest to head to the exclusive teleportation array receiving area in the laboratory and retrieve the item.
Soon, a tallic disk was delivered before Jie Ming.
The entire Anti-Magic Disk was about the size of a palm, half a finger thick, dark silver in color throughout, with a mirror-smooth surface. Fine emblems of star rings and scales were engraved along the edge.
The disk felt slightly heavy in hand, and cool to the touch.
Aside from its extraordinary material and the emblem, it looked completely ordinary, without the slightest energy fluctuation leaking out.
Yet Jie Ming could sense that within it was sealed an extrely stable and powerful suppressive force.
When using it, one only needed to input a specific “password” with ntal power to instantly activate it.
He inspected it carefully twice, confird there were no issues, then cautiously stored it in the safest location within his internal cave-heaven.
By the ti he finished, the dicinal power in the bath had essentially been fully absorbed.
Jie Ming stood up from the pool. The remaining water droplets on his body instantly reorganized under the light of alchemy, transforming into a simple, well-fitted deep gray wizard robe that automatically dressed itself neatly on him.
“Ti… is almost up.”
He let out a low sigh. His expression was calm, yet carried the heavy stillness that cos before the storm.
Leaving the bathing area, he went straight to the nearly completed “ammunition” warehouse.
Millions upon millions of dark golden tal plates were sorted and sealed in specially-made energy storage boxes, neatly stacked into tallic hills that nearly filled half the warehouse.
Each tal plate represented one round of Trigram Fire Annihilation Divine Light that had been reinforced with wizard knowledge.
Jie Ming nodded in satisfaction. With a flicker of thought, the entrance to his internal cave-heaven silently opened, generating a vast suction force.
Box after box of tal plates rose as if lifted by invisible hands, flowing like water into the cave-heaven and being properly placed in the specially designated “ammunition reserve zone.”
In just a short mont, the warehouse was emptied.
Finally, Jie Ming’s gaze turned to the Black Giant Priest Leader who had been waiting silently at the side for so ti.
“Pass down the order.”
Jie Ming’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it echoed clearly through the warehouse, carrying an unquestionable resolve.
“Assemble all combat units of fifth-tier and above. First-level war readiness.”
“Destination: Periter of the Junction Point, Temporary Assembly Point No. 7.”
“We… set out.”
The instant the order was given, an invisible, murderous aura silently spread outward with Jie Ming at its center.
Beneath the dark crimson sky of the Infernal Sulfur plane, countless powerful auras began responding from every corner of the plane, converging toward the designated location.
