Wizard: I Can Refine Everything

The Power of Dimension within Richard constantly infused Shan Hai, almost transforming it into a creature of chain monsters.

His spiritual power roamed within these chains, and the rules intertwined like threads under his will. Energy flowed through, with the structure and nature continuously evolving, eventually shaping according to Richard's intent.

Then, the tides came.

Under Richard's control, Shan Hai's attack was nearly relentless.

After this period of hunting, Richard's spiritual power had returned to the limits of an ordinary Dominator, even surpassing it in terms of quality.

With such immense spiritual power, rules and energy were like clay in his hands, molded at will.

Boom!

The Mechanical Dominator's Mechanical Kingdom shattered under Richard's onslaught.

Compared to Richard, the Mechanical Dominator held no advantage. Though he had broken limits, the years since his breaking limit were too short, and his spiritual power cap hadn't significantly risen, with limited structural change.

Moreover, his knowledge was minimal.

The Civilization Devourer was no miser; on the contrary, it was exceedingly generous.

Those Dominators it eroded all received gifts from the Civilization Devourer—vast amounts of knowledge.

This knowledge, sourced from the civilizations devoured by the Civilization Devourer, spanned almost every aspect. There was nothing the Dominators couldn't think of that they couldn't find.

But precisely because of this generosity, the Mechanical Dominator was now in a dire state.

An excess of knowledge isn't always beneficial. If it can't be systematically applied, knowledge becomes little more than useless information.

If the Mechanical Dominator had undergone Physique Evolution, he might have been able to reinforce his combat power with knowledge, just as Richard once did.

Yet, he was a Dominator of Spiritual Evolution.

The combat power of Spiritual Evolution is highly bound to knowledge; without sufficient knowledge, a Breaking Limit Sovereign is indistinguishable from an ordinary Dominator.

If the knowledge is ample, even an ordinary Dominator could withstand a Breaking Limit Sovereign.

"Damn it, learn it already!"

The Mechanical Dominator roared within, his Soul Chip processing the knowledge bestowed by the Civilization Devourer.

But Spiritual Evolution is not Physique Evolution.

Not understanding a math problem means exactly that; the same applies to profound knowledge.

Without a chance encounter like Richard's, who gained the skills from the Ghost Craftsman across countless epochs, hoping to swiftly grasp the Civilization Devourer's knowledge is pure fantasy.

Smack!

Shan Hai flung a whip flower into the air, the surging energy from the farthest reach of Shan Hai, shaped like a crescent moon.

To forge this strike, Richard almost mobilized all the rules within Shan Hai, from the Four Elements to radiation, life and death, and gravity, tangled together—rules do not exist in isolation; different rules entwined can often produce unexpected effects.

Under Richard's weaving, they became a perfect mold.

The Mechanical Dominator tried to block, but he could no longer spare the effort.

Richard split Shan Hai into seven chain whips, each thrashing almost simultaneously, with each strike demanding the utmost defense.

Buzz!

Amidst a hum, the crescent moon passed through the Mechanical Dominator unimpeded.

The Mechanical Dominator looked at Richard, a flicker of struggle in his black crystalline eyes.

In his body, a chip that seemed like crystal slowly cracked open a fissure.

Unlike regular creatures, the soul of the Mechanical Clan is concretized as a Soul Chip from birth. This chip is usually safeguarded at the core of the Mechanical Clan; as long as the chip remains, the body is just clothing to them.

However, if the chip is damaged, then the Mechanical Clan is doomed.

"I refuse to accept this, I refuse!"

The Mechanical Dominator bellowed within, the power of the Civilization Devourer within him also began to riot with this thought.

In a daze, the Mechanical Dominator's consciousness suddenly left his body, encountering a vast will. This will was so grand, like a Great World. Even for Dominators, they felt so insignificant before it.

Within this will, the Mechanical Dominator saw countless individuals, both mortals and Dominators, fused together, inseparably intertwined. They surged like tides, continually appearing within this vast will, then vanishing in moments imperceptible even to Dominators.

The Mechanical Dominator knew, this was the essence of the Civilization Devourer.

"Truly... magnificent."

At the same time, a thought emerged in his mind.

He must merge into this great existence and become a part of it.

He must abandon himself, forsaking everything of his individuality, to embrace this great existence.

The Mechanical Clan is a peculiar Race; though composed of individuals, they possess near-Gestalt-like thinking.

Their self would change under higher will, with all Mechanical Clan obeying the highest Mechanical Dominator.

And now, the Mechanical Dominator found his superior entity.

Self is merely an illusion, just like those ever-emerging wills within the great will.

No self is the true reality.

In reality, the Mechanical Dominator's Soul Chip began to exhibit jet-black patterns. These patterns spread like vines, swiftly covering the entire chip.

The soul of a Dominator isn't like a nobody, if a Dominator is unwilling, even the Civilization Devourer must slowly erode and digest.

But now, the Mechanical Dominator submitted.

He made a choice, a truly self-made choice. This decision was not a misjudgment misled by the Civilization Devourer but a choice made with complete clarity and consciousness.

No matter the initial reason for the Mechanical Dominator's corruption, at this moment, the Mechanical Dominator submitted under the feet of the Civilization Devourer,

the broken Soul Chip was bound by vein-like networks, once again becoming a whole.

Thus, a grand will descended upon the Mechanical Dominator's body.

"What happened?"

In Richard's heart, an ominous premonition suddenly arose.

The transformation in the Mechanical Dominator's thoughts seemed lengthy, but in reality, it happened in just an instant. For Richard, his second attack wasn't yet prepared before the change in the Mechanical Dominator occurred.

Richard stared intently at the Mechanical Dominator, the chains that were originally brewing an attack now all retracted.

Layer upon layer of Shan Hai, wrapped Richard tightly like a cocoon.

In the next moment, a flash of light fell upon Richard.

Buzz!

Richard's figure exploded backward, with cracks appearing on the Shan Hai surrounding him.

You see, the resilience of Shan Hai is comparable to that of a medium-sized world. To shake Shan Hai is equivalent to shaking a medium-sized world.

"It's you!"

A blazing Miracle Fire ignited on Richard's body. The moment these Miracle Fires appeared, they all seemed to point towards the Mechanical Dominator as if encountering a sworn enemy.

This had never happened even when facing those Corrupted Dominators.

And now it appeared, indicating that the Miracle Furnace, designed to slay the Civilization Devourer, had sniffed out its purpose.

The Mechanical Dominator shifted, immediately transforming into a colossal Titan.

Looking almost identical to the King of Titans from the Abyssal Archive.

He gazed at Richard, with six pitch-black eyes that showed no fluctuation, like a quiet pool in the deep mountains, its silence instilling fear.

Without a word, the Mechanical Dominator's body lightly raised a hand.

Buzz!

A beam of light that made Richard's whole body tremble surged forth from his hand—that's the taste of the Dimension Annihilation Cannon.

Richard was shocked: "Impossible, using the Dimension Annihilation Cannon requires a large amount of special materials, these conditions are not something a Dominator can overcome."

Although the strength of the Star Realm Master can bridge many material gaps, some things cannot be crossed merely with strength.

The next moment, the light descended upon him.

Boom!

In an instant, Richard only heard a mournful cry from the Shan Hai around him, and another crack appeared on his already damaged body.

Although Shan Hai has many segments, these segments are essentially a complete entity; unless Richard deliberately separates them, all segments of Shan Hai suffer as one.

However, even though Shan Hai was damaged, Richard did not show any fear but instead revealed a slight smile.

"Indeed, it is not the Dimension Annihilation Cannon. It's merely a method mimicking the Dimension Annihilation Cannon."

In his body, the Power of Dimension surged, and the cracks on Shan Hai vanished instantly.

Looking at the Mechanical Dominator, Richard's heart was filled with boundless fighting spirit. He beckoned towards the Mechanical Dominator, and every one of the trillion cells in his body became active to the extreme.

He is the fated enemy of the Civilization Devourer.

The Mechanical Dominator looked at Richard, with no change in expression toward Richard's reaction.

His back suddenly split open, from which countless Floating Cannons flew out, spreading in the Void like a peacock opening its tail.

The next instant was a saturation attack.

Boom boom boom...

The Small Dimension Destruction Cannons fell like raindrops, nearly instantly engulfing Richard's figure.

"Not good!"

On one side of the battlefield, the Great World Tree noticed the changes on the battlefield, his heart flashing with a moment of panic.

As an ancient being surviving from the Previous Civilization till now, he could naturally see the methods of the Mechanical Dominator.

The Small Dimension Destruction Cannon was a tool of the past Supreme, as a comrade of the Supreme, he knew its power too well.

Under such a level of attack, even a medium-sized world would be annihilated in an instant.

In the past, the Supreme used such methods to annihilate countless polluted worlds of the Civilization Devourer.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Netherworld Dominator entangled with the Tide Spirit Master was also in shock.

Is this a technique a Dominator can use?

Such intensity of attack would cause even him to be annihilated in an instant.

In such a strike, Ghostly Space is simply a joke; once these attacks are transferred into it, they would be shattered instantly.

"Damn, that Wizard is done for! Old Tree, quickly summon your true form!"

Without the presence of the Great World Tree's true form under such an attack, neither he nor the Great World Tree could escape death.

However, the Great World Tree did not respond, only staring blankly at the center of the light.

As the light of the Small Dimension Destruction Cannon faded, at the center, Richard's form, although broken and skeletal, stood like a Heavenly Pillar, unshakable.

Richard was still alive!
