Chapter 691 Invasion!
The main control room in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
A crimson river of lava flows slowly beneath a transparent crystal wall, the scent of sulfur and hot metal permeating the surrounding land.
The entire hall resembled a mechanical heart embedded in the core of a plane, with countless rune tracks rotating along the dome, their deep rumbling never ceasing. Jemin stood in the center of the plane's primordial magic array.
The hem of his jet-black robe fluttered in the turbulent energy flow. He raised his hands, his fingertips tracing patterns in the air, and authority runes lit up one after another.
The runes interlocked and rearranged, eventually transforming into a vast and complex three-dimensional structure that unfolded layer by layer before him.
It resembled a giant flower woven from light and laws.
The petal-like permission module slowly rotated, and the control of the dimensional core was being peeled away layer by layer.
Finally, as the last seal was broken, the entire hall trembled violently.
The dimensional origin emitted a deep hum, like some sleeping behemoth opening its eyes.
Jemin withdrew his hand and turned to the side.
"Alright, the permissions have been transferred."
Viola, standing beside him, raised an eyebrow slightly.
She unusually refrained from displaying her usual nonchalant smile, instead slightly composed herself and took a step forward.
The next moment, the solidified domain of laws belonging to a level six wizard unfolded beneath her feet with a roar.
A grayish-white halo slowly spread out, and countless runes of the laws of pain emerged within the domain.
The runes resonated with each other, emitting a low, mournful sound, and the temperature in the air dropped slightly as a result.
The solidified domain of laws did not stop; it expanded rapidly at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, soon crossing the boundary between the tangible and the intangible. And then… it came into contact with the very origin of the plane.
The moment the domain came into contact with the essence of the plane, the entire control room suddenly went dark.
Immediately afterwards, the slowly rotating golden core suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, synchronizing with Viola's domain.
boom!!!
Invisible ripples spread outwards, and the entire plane seemed to take a gentle breath.
Viola closed her eyes.
Her consciousness rapidly spread along the plane's origin, passing over the infernal volcano, the sulfurous sea, the elemental pools, and the divine altars scattered across the continent. A moment later, a familiar smile returned to the corners of her lips.
"Fusion complete."
She opened her eyes and looked at Jemin.
"Your dimensional origin is well-preserved; it's at least 30% stronger than when I last visited."
Hearing Viola's words, Jemin didn't even look up, continuing to operate the machine with his head down.
"...Okay, coordinates uploaded."
His hands landed back on the main control array, his fingers moving rapidly, his mental energy being mobilized in sync.
"Begin charging the dimensional array."
The words fell.
The massive arrays of magic arrays and the level 7 large-scale elemental pool in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane were activated simultaneously.
Rumble...
A deep tremor emanated from the deepest part of the plane, a response to the high-speed operation of the entire plane's spatial structure.
Countless energy nodes were lit up one after another, and a crimson torrent of energy surged along the plane's veins, eventually converging on the main control room.
At the same time, the incense altars scattered throughout the planes also lit up.
Countless strands of golden willpower rose up and merged into the magic array's cycle, instantly boosting the energy accumulation speed to the design limit.
The atmosphere began to distort.
Fine cracks kept appearing at the edge of the space.
Viola raised her hand, using the laws to solidify the domain and transform the coordinates provided by Jemin into navigation parameters that the plane's origin could recognize. The gray-white domain beneath her feet gradually turned a pale gold, completing its frequency connection with the incense and divine path system.
Then, she opened one eye and lazily glanced at Jemin.
"Navigation locked".
"But I still need to confirm... just how precise are your coordinates?" She smirked.
"If these coordinates aren't precise enough, it'll be a huge hassle to find them later."
"Don't worry, we can ensure that the other dimension remains within visual range," Jemin said calmly.
Viola clicked her tongue: "That's certainly accurate."
The next second, the dimensional array reached its peak energy accumulation.
Jemin clasped his hands together and slammed the final activation rune into the control core.
boom!!!
The sky cracked open.
A pitch-black spatial rift stretched across the sky, exceeding a hundred kilometers in length, as if an invisible giant hand had forcibly torn apart the celestial canopy of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane. Inside the rift, dark purple void lightning surged wildly, and deafening roars swept across the heavens and earth.
On the other side of the crack, a surface slowly emerged.
That was a blue dimension enveloped by a dimensional barrier.
A pale blue dimensional protective layer covered the outside of the plane, its surface flowing with fine and stable light patterns, like a huge energy film. That was the dimensional defense system of the Tentacle Tree civilization.
Through the barrier, one can clearly see the unfamiliar "outer space" below.
Viola withdrew her hand, and the domain of law around her slowly receded.
She stared at the blue plane for a while, then crossed her arms and spoke in a relaxed tone as if discussing the dinner menu.
"Should I dismantle the dimensional barrier for you while I'm at it?"
"I'm quite familiar with infiltration, resonance, and forced demolition. This level of barrier won't take too long to build."
Jemin waved his hand: "I can do it myself."
Viola noticed that he gently moved his wrist before speaking.
That's a warm-up exercise.
A hint of interest immediately appeared in her eyes.
In wizarding civilizations, the mainstream method for breaking through dimensional barriers has always been inseparable from the solidified domain of the laws of sixth-level wizards.
Infiltration, resonance, erosion, forced coverage...
Essentially, it all involves establishing contact between the solidified domain and the dimensional barrier through the laws, and then gradually dismantling it.
Of course, other technologies also exist.
For example, weapons based on laws, or using natural spatial rifts to make detours and break through, or technologies similar to the energy resonance of the Tentacle Tree civilization.
However, these methods are far less efficient and stable than those in fields where rules are fixed.
however.
Jemin had another method at his disposal.
That was his true form.
In the state of Dao Integration, the true form cannot merge with the origin of the plane like a level six wizard.
Because what practitioners call "harmony with the Dao" is harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which is the fundamental rule governing the operation of all things.
To put it bluntly, the Dao that Jemin is aligned with is the Dao of the entire Wizarding World, not just a local law of a certain plane.
Compared to the solidified laws of the wizarding civilization, a special technology that evolved from the structure of the plane, the Dao integration and true body of the cultivation civilization are indeed somewhat incompatible in dealing with matters related to the plane.
But... it's not to say it's completely useless.
When facing dimensional barriers, it is only in rare cases that the true body in the state of Dao Integration can play a role.
If one had to put it into words, when facing dimensional barriers, the wizard's solidified domain of law is "integration".
He, however, opted for "forceful demolition."
of course.
So-called forced demolition is by no means brute force in the true sense.
The barrier structure of a normal plane is not a thin protective layer, but a three-dimensional structure similar to the atmosphere, with a thickness often measured in tens of thousands of kilometers.
In comparison, his kilometer-long true form is so small as to be almost insignificant.
If you try to tear it apart by force, it's like an ant tearing apart a wire mesh.
But what Jemin truly relied on was never just strength.
Looking up through the massive spatial rift in the sky at the blue dimension on the other side, Jemin's eyes remained calm.
After the space was opened up, Jemin immediately began to take action.
The power of incense and deities had already silently seeped into that dimensional barrier.
The destiny system can quickly analyze the barrier structure.
Force-bearing nodes, energy cycles, spatial patterns, areas where laws are weak...
All data is being processed at high speed.
What he really needs to do is to focus on himself and precisely apply his power to the weakest point of the entire barrier.
Like a hacker breaking into a firewall.
It's like using a lever to move a mountain.
Jemin took a step forward, leaving the main control room in the core area of the plane and arriving in the sky.
As his will moved, more golden willpower rose from the altar of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane, transforming into a torrent that crossed the void and spread toward the blue plane.
The moment the golden light touched the dimensional barrier, it immediately began to penetrate.
With a flash, Jemin crossed the spatial rift and appeared in front of the blue dimensional barrier.
A dark golden light slowly emerged from his body.
Then... it suddenly erupted!
boom!!!
In the blink of an eye, the kilometer-long true form appeared.
It was a dark golden giant, as majestic as a mountain.
The muscle contours resembled cast metal, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
Two faces simultaneously opened three golden eyes.
Both vertical pupils lit up simultaneously, and golden light pierced through the void.
Jemin raised his hands.
Spread your ten fingers.
It was pressed onto the surface of the dimensional barrier.
then……
work hard.
boom!!!
The point of contact suddenly burst forth with blinding light.
The blue barrier twisted wildly, as if red-hot steel had been forcibly immersed in ice water.
The dark golden power spread inward along the veins that seeped from the incense and divine path, while the destiny system operated at high speed in the spiritual sea, marking all the structural weaknesses.
Ten fingers simultaneously gripping those nodes.
Clang clang clang...
Accompanied by a sound like shattering glass, the spatial structure of the dimensional barrier began to collapse.
In the clash of immense energy, blue-white arcs of electricity exploded wildly, each hundreds of meters long, leaping erratically in the void.
Jemin's arm muscles bulged high, and golden willpower surged out from his back like a waterfall, pouring into his arms and finger bones.
His power continues to rise.
The barrier surface emitted a piercing shriek.
The sound was like shattered glass, or like millions of tons of metal being twisted and broken, making one's teeth ache.
It looked as if he was tearing the plane apart with brute force.
But in reality, the life-counting system is scanning the entire barrier's stress structure at a frequency of millions of times per second.
Every time he exerted his strength, it simultaneously disintegrated the incense-filled network that had seeped into his being.
It was less of a physical job and more like doing math problems.
Finally, with the continuous erosion, a crack appeared in the dimensional barrier.
Meanwhile, Jemin took the opportunity to insert his fingers into the first layer of the dimensional barrier, accelerating the intrusion into the barrier.
at the same time.
Tentacle Tree Civilization, Border Monitoring Station.
An old tree, on duty, leaned lazily against the control panel, its tentacles curled with nutrient solution as it idly glanced at the monitoring screen. Since the expeditionary fleet set off, the work here had become utterly boring.
Void signals are subject to interference from elemental turbulence, and communication is often only received once every few days.
Most of the time, the monitoring curve is as stable as a stagnant pool.
On duty?
Essentially, it's just spacing out.
"Honestly, it's a bit boring after those gilded little guys left..."
Although the scions of those powerful families are all incredibly arrogant, as young people, they at least bring some vitality to the place.
The old tree had just brought the nutrient solution to its mouth.
Suddenly, the monitoring screen turned red!
The entire system immediately jumped to the highest alert level!
The piercing alarm suddenly blared.
The data on the screen skyrocketed in less than a second.
"..."
The old tree suddenly widened its crystal eyes.
Extremely high-energy reactions were detected on the outer wall of the dimensional barrier!
Spatial coordinates locked!
An unknown energy source is forcibly breaking through the barrier!
The nutrient solution in its hand fell to the ground with a "plop".
"Border monitoring station calling headquarters!!!"
The old tree's tentacles pounded and thrashed wildly, emitting a frenzied roar.
"The dimensional barrier is under attack!"
"Duplicate! The dimensional barrier has been attacked by an unknown force!"
"Extremely high energy reaction detected, suspected invasion by hostile civilization!!!"
