In contrast, the "Tiger Soul Blade," having absorbed such a vast amount of pure dark magic, finally pushed this move to perfection.

The purple light on the blade of the "Tiger Soul Blade" grew increasingly dazzling and radiant, while the dark energy enveloping Chen Xuanfeng continued to expand and coalesce, perfectly merging with the spatial distortion pressed by the blade. Ultimately, it formed a massive black energy sphere with a diameter of a hundred meters, rotating and descending from the core of the thick, low-hanging cloud vortex, like a tear wept by the heavens, crashing down toward the city below.

"Boom——————————"

When the black spherical force field collided with the crimson magical defense shield below, a series of thunderous explosions erupted instantly. Bright ripples spread out from the point of contact, and wherever the light passed, except for the "Red Glory Capital" protected by the magic array, the wind tore through the clouds, trees were uprooted, and rocks were pulverized. Deep trenches scarred the earth for a hundred kilometers, plunging the world into chaos as the sky darkened and debris scattered.

When two powerful forces meet, the stronger reigns supreme.

The black magic sphere high above was a fusion of the power left behind by the "Great Demon King" and the exquisite martial arts of another world. Its power was untainted, its spells intricate, and its attacks razor-sharp. With countless layers of space compressed, the dark energy had nearly crystallized, still spinning and building pressure. The seemingly smooth surface was keener than the edge of any sacred blade, continuously slicing and scraping away all obstacles in its path.

Below, the "Red Glory Capital's" defensive magic shield held the advantage of vast resources. Tens of thousands of Blood Elves, thousands of professional mages, and over two hundred senior mages formed the core, driving the massive magical system of the magical city to defend. They harnessed the earth's magical currents, tapped into vast reserves, and with several tenth-level mages' support, their total magical power exceeded the black energy sphere's by tenfold. If not for the earlier return of the divine weapon, which had drained the magic of two hundred senior mages and a significant portion of the reserve energy, this ratio would have been even higher.

In terms of sheer power, the Blood Elves' lineup was overwhelmingly formidable. Even the Saint Spirit Mountain of old might not have been able to muster such an astonishing magical force. Thus, they could not only hold the black light sphere at bay with their magic shield but also divert some of their strength to activate the city's numerous magical attack systems, unleashing a torrent of lightning, fire, and hail to bombard the enemy, thereby shifting the battle's momentum to annihilate the mysterious foe.

However, if sheer power alone could win magical battles, the "Great Demon King" Bato would have long been overwhelmed by the magical might of the elves. At this moment, the profound and eerie magical power of the "Doomsday Birth" was just beginning to reveal itself.

A faint sense of discord suddenly crept into the awareness of all the Blood Elf and human mages. Soon, they realized that this feeling came from—weightlessness.

A massive force field enveloped the entire capital, centered on the black sphere in the sky. All gravity was interfered with and controlled, causing everything from massive stones and buildings to small flowers and leaves to float uncontrollably. The force field's greatest effect, however, was on the manipulation of energy. The attack spells in the sky instantly transformed into homing birds, nearly unresisting, reverting to magical elements and being consumed, fueling the enemy's power. Even the energy of the colossal crimson magic shield was ripped apart fragment by fragment, becoming sustenance for the black hole-like sphere.

"Disaster! That's the 'Doomsday Birth,' the 'Great Demon King's' 'Doomsday Birth'! All attack spells, stop now! Listen, all magical attacks must cease immediately————" the Blood Elf elder standing at the top of the observatory tower, in charge of the magical operations core, suddenly shouted. He finally recognized the true nature of the attacking spell and immediately recalled the various legends surrounding this powerful incantation, one of the most famous being its ability to absorb all nearby magical energy to fuel its own attacks. "Core Three, attention! Immediately change the defense shield's operation mode to a multi-layered spatial net for flexible resistance. Open all magical reserves. Do not engage in any form of direct energy confrontation with the enemy..."

The Blood Elf elder, having lived for over two millennia, was truly a wise sage and quickly found a countermeasure. But this response came too late; the "Doomsday Birth" had already amassed enough power. Moreover, the elder had not anticipated that within the core of the massive black sphere lay a peerless cursed blade and a technique from another world.

"Clang————"

A purple light suddenly emerged from beneath the black sphere, and the "Tiger Soul Blade's" edge burst forth. The energy shield in contact with the sphere shattered instantly. The meter-long blade, though a mere speck against the hundred-meter sphere, instantly dominated the vast dark energy. The black sphere rippled, conforming to the "Tiger Soul's" fierce form, and morphed into a thousand-meter-long colossal blade. Following Chen Xuanfeng's swing, it descended like the "Tiger Soul Blade's" shadow, thundering down with a deafening roar.

"Haha, that's it! Go, sever the heavens and earth with one strike————" the silver-haired Werewolf laughed maniacally as he swung the blade.

Following the earlier breach, the massive black blade, propelled by Chen Xuanfeng, traced a trajectory that defied all laws, slicing through the eggshell-like crimson magic shield like a thunderbolt. Layer after layer of magical defenses shattered like glass, and the blade descended squarely upon the highest observatory tower at the city's core.

"No————" The elder's desperate cry was cut short by the descending blade. The ferocious power of the "Tiger Soul" crushed the tower and the city's entire defense system.

Yet the attack was not over.

The massive black blade's light abruptly contracted, nearly instantaneously retracting into the "Tiger Soul Blade." At the same time, the purple light originally stored within the blade burst forth, separating from the crystalline blade and expanding into a spherical light curtain. The "Tiger Soul" turned from bright purple to pitch black, while the entire crimson city was bathed in a beautiful, lotus-colored glow. However, this glow was far from benign. Every creature bathed in the purple light instantly felt their life force and soul power ebbing away. Even non-living things, including the city's magic arrays and mana crystals, lost their luster. All this power was absorbed by the purple light, growing brighter with each devoured force.
