Earth's Greatest Magus

SHRIEEEKKK!!!

The scream that erupted from Parasite X this time was completely different from before.

The sound did not merely echo across the battlefield—it pierced directly into the soul.

An overwhelming mental attack exploded outward from the abomination as the skies above suddenly distorted violently. Space itself began cracking apart like shattered glass, spreading countless fractures across the heavens before pieces of reality seemed to collapse entirely.

Beyond the broken sky—

There was only darkness.

Pitch-black emptiness stretched beyond the shattered space, and within that darkness, dozens of massive yellow eyes slowly opened one by one.

Each eye was larger than a warship.

Cold.

Ancient.

Madness. They stared directly downward with terrifying pressure.

“DO NOT LOOK!!!” The Supreme shouted.

The warning came too late.

Even those who instinctively shut their eyes immediately realized it made no difference. The yellow eyes did not need sight to invade the mind. Their presence itself pierced directly into spiritual consciousness like countless needles stabbing into the soul.

Madness surged instantly throughout the battlefield.

Disgust.

Fear.

Violence.

Countless distorted emotions flooded into everyone’s minds at once while endless screams echoed inside their consciousness. Emery could hear voices shouting, laughing, crying, and shrieking simultaneously as if millions of dying souls were trapped within the darkness above.

Even Emery was affected.

His innate mental defense, [Emperor Focus], activated automatically, yet it was still not enough to completely block the invasion. His vision blurred while violent impulses rapidly surfaced inside his mind.

For several dangerous seconds, he could only grit his teeth and circulate his Dao of Heaven and Earth desperately to stabilize his consciousness.

This attack was terrifying beyond reason.

Anyone below the Grand Magus realm would likely perish instantly beneath such mental corruption.

Even among Grand Magus cultivators, only those with powerful souls or specialized mental defenses could continue functioning properly.

Sweat slowly dripped down Emery’s face as he pushed his soul defense to the limit. Layers of spiritual energy gathered around his consciousness while his seventh layer pagoda gradually manifested behind his spiritual sea.

Only then did the pressure lessen enough for him to open his eyes once more.

The battlefield had descended into complete chaos.

Hubert had dropped to one knee while desperately maintaining defensive barriers around himself. Archbishop James remained standing, but the holy light surrounding him fluctuated violently beneath the mental pressure. Even Arctus, whose soul cultivation should have been relatively formidable as a formation master, could only focus entirely on maintaining defensive spells while parasite hounds continuously assaulted the weakened defenses.

In the distance, Anderson had abandoned offense entirely and rushed toward Ayla.

The beastmaster woman had already collapsed beside her silver tiger while blood trickled from her nose and ears. Her beast companions were howling painfully beneath the overwhelming mental corruption.

Above the battlefield, even the Star Tower Lord and the Sword Demoness appeared heavily affected. Their offensive attacks had completely stopped as both focused solely on defense while resisting the madness invading their minds.

Only Supreme Dunadan continued fighting.

The giant Supreme Lord remained standing atop the battlefield like an immovable glacier while summoning endless frozen icicles to intercept the massive tentacles now rampaging wildly through the skies.

Emery’s expression suddenly changed again.

The three recently purified infected Grand Magus cultivators were in critical condition.

Already weakened physically and mentally, they possessed almost no ability to resist this level of soul attack. Their bodies convulsed violently while blood poured from their eyes and mouths beneath the overwhelming pressure.

Without hesitation, Emery unleashed his Elysian vines once more.

Dark green roots shot across the battlefield before wrapping around the three surviving cultivators and dragging them rapidly toward his position.

Immediately afterward, Emery slammed his foot heavily against the shattered ground.

BOOOOM!!

Darkness exploded outward.

Emery unleashed the power of Khaos.

A distorted battlefield domain rapidly expanded around him as layers of dark spatial energy formed a fractured dimensional barrier capable of partially isolating outside soul attacks. The surrounding pressure immediately weakened within the domain.

The three surviving cultivators finally stopped convulsing as the protection stabilized them temporarily.

Moments later, flames suddenly flickered beside Emery.

Hubert appeared.

The strange man stepped calmly into the Khaos domain while dusting off his sleeves as though nothing unusual had happened.

Taking advantage of Emery’s protection, he immediately grinned lightly.

“You really are my lucky charm.”

Before Emery could respond—

BOOOOOM!!!

A massive explosion erupted high above the battlefield.

Emery’s head snapped upward instantly.

One of Parasite X’s gigantic tentacles had pierced directly through the side of the Proxima flagship. Flames and debris erupted from the damaged warship as portions of its outer hull exploded apart beneath the impact.

Emery’s expression tightened immediately.

Lambert.

He could not help worrying about the man’s safety.

Meanwhile, the battlefield continued descending further into chaos as everyone desperately struggled to resist the soul corruption.

Then suddenly—

A figure burst upward from beneath the mountain.

Duke Damien Alabaster.

The old spirit master rose into the skies while raising both hands toward the shattered heavens above. Golden spiritual energy exploded outward from his body before forming a gigantic pillar of light that pierced directly toward the black void behind the broken sky.

The old man’s eyes glowed brilliantly.

BOOOOM!!

The golden pillar slammed directly into the darkness above.

For the first time, the massive yellow eyes reacted.

Several immediately shut themselves while violent ripples spread throughout the broken space itself.

This was Duke Damien’s counterattack.

A spirit champion-level soul auttack powerful enough to directly oppose the mental corruption.

The moment the pressure weakened, Supreme Dunadan finally unleashed his full power.

The temperature across the entire battlefield plummeted instantly.

A spiraling storm of frozen wind erupted around the Supreme Lord as blue, purple, and emerald auroras spread throughout the skies like flowing cosmic rivers. The auroras gradually condensed into enormous pillars of ice stretching across the heavens.

One..

Two…

Six pillars..

Soon, an enormous cosmic palace began forming above the battlefield.

Ancient frozen walls rose from the storm while gigantic stairways and crystalline towers manifested beneath layers of swirling frost. At the center of the palace appeared the projection of a colossal frozen throne radiating overwhelming authority.

The entire sky became the domain of ice.

Supreme Dunadan stepped forward before taking his seat upon the throne itself.

The moment he sat down—

The cosmic palace awakened.

[Frozen Throne]

This was Supreme Dunadan’s Tier 9 spell.

Terrifying waves of frozen law erupted outward from the palace like an unstoppable tide, instantly engulfing the shattered heavens along with the massive yellow eyes hidden within the darkness beyond space itself.

One by one—

The eyes froze shut.

Even the black void above began crystallizing beneath the overwhelming suppression.

At the same time, Parasite X released a violent shriek as its gigantic body rapidly froze solid. Thick layers of ancient ice spread across its corrupted flesh while its enormous tentacles gradually stiffened midair.

The abomination struggled violently.

Too late.

Within seconds, the creature had transformed into a colossal frozen statue suspended above the battlefield.

As though waiting precisely for this moment, both the Star Tower Lord and the Sword Demoness unleashed their prepared attacks simultaneously.

The Sword Demoness dark blade descended from the skies like the judgment of death itself, releasing a massive crescent slash large enough to split mountains apart.

[Nethermoon Cataclysm]

At the same time, the Star Tower Lord raised both hands as more than a dozen blazing stellar orbs gathered around him before descending together like falling suns.

[Celestial Nova Collapse]

The explosions that followed illuminated the entire battlefield.

BOOOOOOM!!!

The attacks detonated from within the frozen prison itself.

Massive cracks instantly spread across the gigantic ice statue before entire sections exploded apart beneath the combined bombardment.

Chunks of corrupted flesh larger than buildings rained down across the mountains below while fragments of frozen blood scattered throughout the skies.

For a brief moment, it truly looked as though the creature had been destroyed.

Then—

The frozen parasite suddenly convulsed violently.

SHRIEEEKKK!!!

The abomination broke partially free from the ice.

Massive cracks spread throughout Dunadan’s frozen domain while several tentacles violently shattered their restraints. Following another enraged shriek, space around the creature immediately began distorting.

Ripples spread through reality itself.

A massive spatial fluctuation rapidly formed behind the parasite.

“It’s trying to escape!” Emery shouted instantly.

The gigantic spatial rift expanded rapidly, revealing chaotic darkness beyond it. Parasite X desperately dragged its damaged body toward the opening while countless tentacles lashed wildly around it.

However, just before the creature could enter—

Dozens of spectral golden chains suddenly erupted across the skies.

The chains wrapped tightly around the parasite’s body, tentacles, and neck before violently restraining it in place.

Duke Damien, the old spirit master stood beneath the shattered heavens with glowing golden eyes while maintaining the soul chains through pure spiritual force alone.

The attack only delayed the creature briefly.

But for Supreme-level combat…

A few seconds were critical.

The moment Parasite X became immobilized, Supreme Dunadan, the Star Tower Lord, and the Sword Demoness attacked simultaneously once more from three different directions.

BAM! BAM! BAM!!

The heavens themselves trembled beneath the repeated bombardment.

Even merely observing the battle caused Emery’s comprehension of law to stir, especially the terrifying frozen domain radiating from Supreme Dunadan.

Amazing.

This was the power of true peak experts.

Parasite X released another horrifying shriek.

This time, however, it was no longer an attack.

It was pain.

The gigantic creature struggled desperately while portions of its body continuously exploded apart beneath the bombardment.

One by one, its tentacles lost strength and fell limp while the spatial rift behind it gradually destabilized.

Then finally—

The massive parasite beast slowly tilted before crashing down from the skies toward the shattered mountain below.

BOOOOOOM!!!

The impact shook the area.

At the same moment, the surrounding parasite hounds released panicked howls before rapidly retreating back into the mountains and caves as though fleeing from something.

Emery stared toward the enormous unmoving corpse lying within the crater.

“Is it dead?” Thank you for reading
