Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master-Chapter 1526: The Fight Between William and the Fox Over the World’s Core Begins!

Yet no matter what the Fox tried, no matter how many countless waves of monsters he hurled against the iron-clad perimeter of the Fox Guild and the Blue Purgators, the end result was already concluded in William’s favour.

The momentum of fate had shifted. By the passage of a few more days on this gruelling, bloody pattern, William finally reached the end of his grand plan. He laid down the last set of formations, and the final needles and spears went deep into the core of the world, carrying his dual spirit elements there.

"Now it’s time to shut down your access to this world, bastard!" William growled, his voice raspy but resonant with power.

He hadn’t realised the full extent of the chaos on the surface at first; the depths of the formation work had required a meditative trance that isolated his senses.

But once the scale of the war escalated to the point where the very ground vibrated with the screams of a million dying monsters, it was impossible for him not to grasp the current situation.

With a few sharp questions and persistent prodding, Bernard, who had returned to William’s side after ensuring the messengers reached their destinations, finally told him the truth about the absolute siege happening far beyond the valley.

William was astonished to learn the details. It felt as if the Fox was truly desperate, using everything in his arsenal to stop him. And yet, the Fox had made a fatal error: he had underestimated both William and the masters of the Fox Guild.

During the past years, William had been a hard worker. He had focused on picking the ones who possessed the rarest and most useful spirit elements and spirits, slowly and meticulously expanding his guild to its current titanic state.

At some point, for the sake of the world’s survival, he had accepted literally everyone who wanted to join his side, but he had already established the unshakeable core of his guild.

The factions, the inner circle, the Black and Golden Tails, plus various elites currently holding the line, were the product of his specific curation. They were now proving themselves in the highest-stakes war imaginable, fighting like demons to protect the man who had given them a future.

If the Fox thought he had a chance in stopping William thanks to his long years of preparation, then he was gravely mistaken. William had also spent years preparing his side, and now was the time to reap the benefits of that painstaking work and far-sighted planning.

This wasn’t a clash of two powers met by chance; it was the collision of two grand designs, and William’s was built on the loyalty of living hearts rather than the hollow shells of clones and controlled monsters.

Then it came down to the final act. William had to handle the last hurdle of his plan: wrestling the Fox’s darkness spirit element inside the world’s core using his own Light and Lightning.

William wasn’t worried about the situation in the world around him. His confidence in his people was absolute. He was sure his elite guild masters, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Blue Purgators, would buy him enough time to finish the job. He trusted them to be the shield while he became the sword that pierced the enemy’s treasured world.

So, once the last and final needle settled, William sat on the ground in the centre of the formation. He ignored the distant sound of fighting. He closed his eyes, took a deep, steadying breath, and replenished his exhausted spirit power by consuming a handful of high-grade elixirs. With his spirit power refilled, he cast his consciousness downward, plunging into the core down below.

The core was like a grand world of its own, a vast, conceptual space where the fundamental laws of the Medium World were written. When he had first invaded it weeks ago, it had looked like a terrifying black ocean, a void without any speck of light, dominated entirely by the Fox’s presence. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

But now, the landscape had changed. Thanks to the relentless pressure of his formations and the unintentional help from the Fox, who had thinned his own spirit element density by trying to force too much power into his external clones, the core was no longer a monolith of darkness. William realised with a surge of satisfaction that close to half of the core was now occupied by his own spirit elements.

"That’s way better than I initially imagined," William muttered to himself, his spiritual avatar standing amidst a swirling storm of white and violet power within the core’s dimension.

He had thought the most he’d be able to control through external formations alone would be roughly one-third. Reaching the halfway point was a massive advantage. "That’s the foundation. Now, let the real war begin!"

Even though he controlled half of the core, there was still a significant problem. His spirit elements were distributed in a fractured pattern across the entire sphere, pockets of light and lightning separated by vast stretches of the Fox’s darkness.

Unlike the Fox’s darkness, which was coalesced, united, and deeply entrenched like a singular, massive root, William’s influence was segregated and separated. It was a mosaic of power rather than a solid wall, and that was the first weakness he intended to solve.

He began the mobilisation. William gushed his spirit power through the entire grand formation network covering the world’s surface. Above ground, the countless formations began to operate at maximum capacity, diffusing his light and lightning spirit elements into the core with huge intensity.

Simultaneously, the formations worked like giant vacuum lungs, madly absorbing the ambient spirit power from the world itself and augmenting his own output. It was the perfect cycle.

William knew that even with his vast reserves and elixirs, he wouldn’t have enough spirit power to conquer the remaining fifty percent of the core; he would have run dry before taking even another one percent.

To win, he had to depend entirely on the painstaking network he had laid over the surface. Feeling the immense spirit power gushing through his spirit, William began to focus on the scattered areas of his dominance.
