Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 370 - 267 Ionization Storm

Twelve beams of sword light shot out side by side.

Each followed a unique trajectory, like butterflies flitting through flowers, instantly flying into the group of monsters.

The Sawtooth Mantises were merely common monsters, Ji Xinghuo didn’t need to unleash a lot of Spiritual Energy and attacked them solely with the sharpness of the sword light. Instantly, the foremost Sawtooth Mantises fell like wheat being harvested, some beheaded, some bodies perforated, and others bisected at the waist with clean cuts.

The multicolored sword lights swept past, leaving a ground littered with corpses.

Due to their large numbers, there were always some that slipped through the net. The Sawtooth Mantises that survived the sword light’s assault ignored their surroundings and charged straight towards Ji Xinghuo.

But all this was within Ji Xinghuo’s calculations.

Whizz, whizz, whizz...

The high-temperature light beams from the Crystal Light Gun struck the oncoming Sawtooth Mantises head-on, blasting them into piles of sawdust.

In less than ten seconds, the sword light had swept over these two hundred plus Sawtooth Mantises, killing over seventy percent of them before turning around to accelerate and pursue from behind, slaughtering them.

Using himself as bait, Ji Xinghuo opened fire from the front.

In the blink of an eye, this group of Sawtooth Mantises was wiped clean, but before Ji Xinghuo could catch his breath, more monsters surrounded him from both sides.

Behind him, monsters that had been chasing him for over an hour were also closing in, with the fast-moving Thorny Vine Ball now less than a hundred meters away.

Ji Xinghuo saw all this clearly.

Electromagnetic Induction projected the surrounding situation in his mind, and he calmly turned around. With his Spiritual Energy in motion, twelve beams of sword light circled around him with a radius of about fifty meters, flying at high speed like lightning, setting up a circular killing array.

Any monster that passed through the ring of sword light was bisected in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xinghuo’s Crystal Light Gun never stopped firing, emitting high-temperature light beams continuously, killing multiple monsters.

However, the number of monsters was too great.

They advanced like a tidal wave.

They used their bodies to pave the way, resisting the slaughter of the sword light, while other monsters took the opportunity to rush forward fearlessly towards Ji Xinghuo.

As his Spiritual Energy was rapidly depleted, Ji Xinghuo’s brain was overclocking.

Crack, crack...

A few cracking sounds later, the Ice Sword formed of ice shattered after killing many monsters, and suddenly the number of sword lights drastically decreased.

The monster tide surged forward immediately.

Ji Xinghuo could only shrink the radius of his circular sword array, sacrificing defensive area to increase the frequency of killing.

But as more Ice Swords collapsed, the radius of the sword array was forcibly reduced step by step, from fifty meters to forty meters, to thirty meters, to twenty-five meters... Various monsters stepped over corpses and advanced like a tide pounding, and Ji Xinghuo stood amidst them like an isolated island at sea, now in grave danger.

Nevertheless, Ji Xinghuo’s expression remained calm.

Even then, he still had time to open the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil, his Spiritual Origin Ability’s value continuously rising.

Although each monster only provided 1 point of Spiritual Origin Ability, due to their sheer numbers, he had killed five to six hundred monsters in just a short time.

His Spiritual Origin Ability had breached 6000 points.

Eternal Day Merit was also rising.

Only the monsters he killed himself counted as Eternal Day Merit, if they were bombed to death by a laser cannon, then he would only receive Spiritual Origin Ability, which was a significant loss.

"I need to kill more, earn more merit," he said.

At that moment, the frenzied monsters had pressed the sword array to a radius of less than ten meters, the bodies of dead monsters on the ground piled up layer by layer, the densely packed monsters extended outward, overwhelming him. In the sky, the spore bats also dove down.

Ji Xinghuo finally felt the pressure, his Star Power was depleting too quickly.

He looked up at the sky because he was surrounded by monsters, the Crystal Elite Clan, wary of collateral damage, hence the orbital laser cannon would not fire.

This is the rule officially announced on the Eternal Day Guardian’s website.

If there is a chance the Eternal Day Guardian could be injured, as long as there’s the slightest sign of life, the Crystal Elite Clan’s space weapon system would not fire.

Only by creating a sufficient safe distance would the laser cannons automatically attack, just like yesterday.

Alternatively, the Eternal Day Guardian themselves could request for fire.

Beep beep!

A light shadow projected from the Eternal Day Badge on his chest, displaying a hologram of a humanoid Crystal Elite, who urgently asked, "Guardian, if you need fire support, please inform us right away, the laser cannon is already charging."

"Not now," Ji Xinghuo decisively rejected the Crystal Elite’s offer.

What a joke.

He had finally gathered so many monsters. If he didn’t kill more to earn more merit, the laser cannons would wipe everything out, leaving nothing behind.

Spiritual Energy poured into the Ice Sword, once again condensing eight Cold Ice Swords.

But the space for the Flying Swords to slaughter had already been compressed to a radius of about ten meters, and even if he replenished the sword light, it was merely enough to barely maintain the sword array, unable to push back out.

Suddenly, the Crystal Light Gun ran dry, having used up another high-energy battery.

Ji Xinghuo quickly replaced it with a new battery; with his left hand holding the gun and firing, his right hand reached into his waist pouch and pulled out several High Explosive Hand Grenades, hurling them into the sky, where they fell into the diving spore bat flock. A burst of flames exploded, killing dozens of spore bats at the forefront, stalling their diving momentum.

But this only delayed them for two to three seconds. More spore bats dove down, and Ji Xinghuo continuously hurled grenade after grenade.

His movements were both swift and precise, always managing to target the direction of the spore bat flock’s assault.

Explosions constantly rang out above.

For a moment, the spore bats couldn’t manage to dive down to explode; even if they changed direction to attack from behind, Ji Xinghuo’s High Explosive Hand Grenades followed like a shadow, blowing them up.

Batches of spore bats exploded into green venom, raining down like water.

Ji Xinghuo’s Dimension Stomach stored hundreds of High Explosive Hand Grenades, enough to blow up all the spore bats in the sky, but with the Crystal Elite’s satellites watching, he didn’t want to expose his secret of being able to use Space Equipment outside the Star Realm. So, after throwing a dozen or so grenades, he stopped.

Moreover, some spore bats managed to escape the explosions and continued to dive crazily towards him.

Ji Xinghuo could only perform spot kills with the Crystal Light Gun.

"I can’t hold on much longer." freёnovelkiss.com

On the ground, the tide of monsters once again compressed the space, closing in to within ten meters, with piles of bodies affecting the efficiency of the Flying Sword’s slashing.

In just a few seconds, the sword light was squeezed within five meters.

At such a close distance, almost some of the Thorny Vine Balls’ vines could have stabbed Ji Xinghuo.

Star Power was also heavily consumed, with barely half remaining.

Yet, Ji Xinghuo remained calm and composed.

In fact, even without the Spirit Sword Bracelet, as well as the Crystal Light Gun and High Explosive Hand Grenade, he dared to fight the monster tide head-on. With the defense power of his Holy Scale Armor and the recovery power of the Rotating Magnetic Field, melee was the most economical way of combat.

Being surrounded wasn’t that terrifying.

While the enemy numbers seemed vast, the actual number who could engage in close combat was, in fact, no more than ten.

Because space was limited.

Within the not-so-large space around him, with Microscopic Perception and Overclocking Thought controlling everything, Ji Xinghuo was confident he could easily handle one against ten, along with powerful defense power, not fearing the enemy’s onslaught.

As long as Star Power and physical fitness were sufficient, he could kill all the monsters, one by one.

This was the true strength of a man against thousands!

However, Ji Xinghuo didn’t want to reveal too much for the time being, so he chose the most efficient yet most energy-consuming way of combat.

Ji Xinghuo stopped firing, and in the center of the sword array, his body gently floated upward.

He spread his arms, currents of electricity appearing on his skin, his eyes flickering with lightning, growing brighter and brighter, lasting a few seconds before his Spiritual Energy and Star Power burst forth simultaneously.

Boom!

A thunderclap like a clear sky, resonating across the skies.

Centered on Ji Xinghuo, countless lightning bolts burst forth, each containing violently high temperatures, instantly spreading to the effective radius of his Spiritual Energy reaching 120 meters, then under the inertia of the Electromagnetic Field, continued to push outward to an even larger area.

The air within the electric field was pierced, turning into flames-like plasma, all the monsters were struck down and began burning, instantly turning into charred fragments and flying ash.

In the sky, half of the spore bat flock was directly eliminated.

Bodies fell like rain.

Spiritual Energy Lightning surged about 200 meters, then contracted back, visible electric arcs once again sweeping through the area, shrinking to Ji Xinghuo’s body, and disappearing from sight.

"Phew..."

Ji Xinghuo let out a long breath.

This technique was called "Ionization Storm," a Spiritual Energy application technique he had figured out, which instantaneously formed high-temperature plasma, striking and igniting targets within range. A full release of the Ionization Storm consumed nearly 1000 points of Star Power.

The might of the Ionization Storm was immediately evident, directly clearing out the surrounding monsters.

Suddenly, the pressure was all gone.

However, an Ionization Storm couldn’t eliminate all the monsters.

Outside the lethal range, more monsters immediately surged up like a tide, filling the space just cleared.

"There are so many..."

Ji Xinghuo resumed manipulating the sword light, forming a fifty-meter radius sword array, the Crystal Light Gun also not stopping its fire.

Still, the number of monsters remained vast.

In the distance, due to the huge commotion here, even more monsters continuously arrived, and his Star Power was now only over 600 points.

The tide of monsters once again surrounded Ji Xinghuo, relentlessly attacking, causing the defensive range of the sword array to continuously shrink, in less than a minute, the radius shrunk to less than ten meters.

"About time."

Ji Xinghuo did not hesitate and released another Ionization Storm.

But this time, the range of the Ionization Storm was very small, only eliminating the monsters within twenty meters, clearing space, then he ascended rapidly to escape the monsters on the ground, the sword light also following him, slashing the chasing spore bats, keeping them at a sufficient distance.

Flying up to over three hundred meters in the sky, Ji Xinghuo controlled the sword light to fend off the spore bats.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and looked up.

In the distant high sky, several bursts of crimson starlight blossomed, extremely dazzling even during the day, rapidly enlarging before his eyes, instantly turning into several huge crimson laser beams, more than five meters in diameter, as if tearing apart the sky, and in an instant striking the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

In the deafening explosion, the ground shook violently, countless flames and shock waves flashing like lightning across thousands of meters, all things turning to ash in the high temperature.

Forests, monsters, grasslands, etc., all met the same end.

One of the laser cannons precisely hit the remaining spore bat flock, less than a hundred meters from Ji Xinghuo, nearly grazing him as they struck down.

He timely withdrew the sword light, which was just saved from destruction, but was also terrified by the lethality of the laser cannon.

If he had been struck by one, he would have been vaporized on the spot.

When the dust settled, the ground was left with several huge craters tens of meters in diameter, soil and rocks had melted from the high temperature, turning to magma and then gradually cooling to a glassy state. Of the tens of thousands of monster corpses, not even a single leaf could be found.

The monsters that had been gathering, too, all fled in terror.

Ji Xinghuo landed back on the ground.

Standing at the edge of a huge crater, he couldn’t help but shake his head, marveling at the terrifying might of the Turbo Laser Cannon, and feeling somewhat anxious. This meant that the lives of the Eternal Day Guards who set foot on the surface of Earth Abyss Star were in the hands of the Crystal Elite Clan.

Fortunately, the Crystal Elite Clan showed no malice towards the Eternal Day Guards.

He opened the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface.

Ji Xinghuo took one look and was greatly surprised; the few cannon strikes had caused his Spiritual Origin Ability to surge by nearly ten thousand points, now exceeding 18,000!

At the same time, his Eternal Day Merit had also greatly increased.
