From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword
Chapter 956 - 550: Preventing the Descent_2
CHAPTER 956: CHAPTER 550: PREVENTING THE DESCENT_2
The Knowledge Ancient Tree chuckled and said, "You can cooperate, can’t you?"
Orelana was taken aback, momentarily swayed by subconscious thinking traps.
She nodded in agreement, "Understood."
Although they hadn’t found the power to counter Salion, they had found a way to prevent Salion from altering the world laws of Blue Star.
Lu Heng wasted no time and invited Orelana to go to Blue Star.
The two flew to the Eye of the Storm above the East Sea.
At this moment, the world laws at the center of the Eye of the Storm had already been altered into a chaotic state.
This chaotic state at the law layer is essentially the law state of outer space.
The Eye of the Storm had transformed Blue Star’s inner space into a law state akin to outer space.
The chaotic space of outer space posed no restrictions on the Divine Power of the Demon God.
Therefore, once the created chaotic space was large enough, Salion could descend.
"Let’s give it a try." Lu Heng glanced at Orelana, uncertain whether this method would work.
"Alright." Orelana nodded in agreement, then raised the Elf Sacred Artifact and released Supreme Arcane Energy together with Lu Heng.
Lu Heng unleashed the Power of Godslayer, merging it with the Supreme Arcane Energy, injecting it into the Eye of the Storm.
The originally expanding chaotic space started to contract inward due to the obstruction from the two energies.
Noticing the chaotic space beginning to shrink, Lu Heng’s eyes lit up, "It’s working."
Lu Heng continued to increase the intensity of the Power of Godslayer, destroying the Eye of the Storm in one burst.
In the following days,
Lu Heng and Orelana destroyed all four Eyes of the Storm that appeared over Blue Star.
Once the Eyes of the Storm were destroyed, the storms ceased.
This made Salion extremely angry. He had been ready to descend upon Blue Star once the Eyes of the Storm formed, planning to annihilate humanity to vent his rage.
However, Lu Heng found a way to destroy the Eyes of the Storm.
But the matter did not end there.
Less than half a day after the Eye of the Storm over the East Sea disappeared, it reappeared.
Salion reignited the four Eyes of the Storm, continuing to create conditions for his descent.
Lu Heng and Orelana took action for a second time, preparing to destroy the Eye of the Storm over the East Sea.
This time, however, Salion released Divine Power from outer space, blocking the attacks from Lu Heng and Orelana.
The two forces collided in the Eye of the Storm, completely canceling each other out.
This time, the Eye of the Storm was not destroyed.
The efforts of Lu Heng and Orelana could only prevent the expansion of Chaos Law.
However, four Eyes of the Storm existed on Blue Star.
The two of them couldn’t simultaneously stop all four Eyes of the Storm, and attacking the Eyes of the Storm was very draining.
It’s absolutely impossible for a demigod to win a war of attrition against a Demon God.
Therefore, this method could only slow down Salion’s descent, still unable to completely resolve the crisis.
Two days later.
Azik returned from the first Ecological Ball, sending a message to meet with Lu Heng.
"I went back and checked all the exploration records. Although I didn’t find a civilization that could help, there is a relatively dangerous world that might offer a breakthrough."
Lu Heng asked, "What kind of world?"
Azik replied, "I once read the notes of Lord Gremavi Prophet and explored a few interesting worlds recorded by the Prophet.
"One of those worlds is extremely dangerous, as noted in the Prophet’s records, which state there is a very powerful presence there.
"In my younger days, I was curious and went there. I almost couldn’t return.
"I’m not sure what’s there. After entering that world, I lost consciousness and woke up adrift in a rift in the Star Realm.
"Through time tracking, I determined that ten days had passed from the time I lost consciousness to when I awoke.
"This means I was unconscious for ten days after entering that world. What happened there, I have no idea.
"So, I suspect there is a powerful civilization there. I might have been captured by them, but instead of killing me, they expelled me from that world."
"A powerful civilization?" Lu Heng felt this information was not particularly helpful for the crisis humanity currently faced.
"I’m not sure either, but that’s my speculation. If you want to have a look, I can take you there," Azik said, his tone uncertain as well.
If the world Azik spoke of did harbor a powerful civilization,
and if this civilization wasn’t aligned with the Abyss Camp, then there was a glimmer of hope for assistance.
According to currently known information, all civilizations encountered so far have suffered from Abyss invasions.
This made civilizations invaded by the Abyss naturally become allies.
So, would the world Azik mentioned also suffer from Abyss invasion?
If there was an Abyss invasion, why hasn’t this civilization been summoned?
At least in the knowledge of the Knowledge Ancient Tree, this civilization was never mentioned.
To unravel these mysteries, the best course of action was to take a look.
Faced with the apocalyptic crisis humanity currently faced, new breakthroughs needed to be found.
Carefully considering, Lu Heng said, "Take me to have a look."
...
Two days later.
Lu Heng and Su Muyu boarded Azik’s Star Realm Merchant Ship, traversing the Star Realm Ocean to arrive at the outer layer of a strange world.
Hovering in outer space, Lu Heng observed with Demigod Vision and indeed saw a world, but this world was shrouded in darkness, revealing nothing.
Indeed, the entire world was not large, only about one-tenth the size of Blue Star.
And in this world, there wasn’t a single speck of light.
To say there is no light is not entirely accurate; rather, there is no observational feedback at all.
Human vision functions through the perception of light.
Hearing is sensing sound created by vibrations traveling through a medium.
Every method of observation gathers information through feedback.
Through his Demigod Vision, Lu Heng observed this world but couldn’t see anything, not even the slightest feedback.
No light, no sound, no feedback from observation at all.
It’s as if the entire world was a black hole, swallowing all observations with nothing transmitted back.
"I can’t see anything," Lu Heng frowned.
"Try it out," Su Muyu extended her Perception into this dark world through space.
After a moment, she too frowned and said, "There really is no observational feedback; how strange."
She pondered for a while and said, "I can try placing a Life Tree Vine Seed in there to observe through the Life Tree Vine. Shall we try it?"
She sought Lu Heng’s opinion in the end, as no one knew what lay in this dark world.
If there was an Abyss Demon God inside, it would be difficult for the three to escape if they stirred it up.
Lu Heng pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Let’s give it a try."
Azik mentioned he had entered this world, was unconscious for ten days, but didn’t die.
Based on this, this world didn’t seem that dangerous.
Su Muyu agreed, took a deep breath, and gently placed a Life Tree Vine Seed into the dark world.
The seed sprouted in the dark world, extending into a Life Tree Vine.
In the next instant, Su Muyu’s expression changed drastically, "Let’s go, the Life Tree Vine has died."
At the same time.
Azik immediately activated the Star Realm Merchant Ship, trying to retreat.
At that moment,
a powerful pressure emerged from the dark world, sealing the surrounding chaotic space.
The Star Realm Merchant Ship, despite its full steam, could not gain any distance, confined to the spot.
At the same time, Lu Heng felt an immense pressure drill into his mind.
Lu Heng’s consciousness fell into a Lost World, seeing nothing, with Su Muyu and Azik nowhere to be found.
At the end of the sky in the Lost World, a pair of cold eyes opened.
Those eyes clearly belonged to the owner of this pressure.
"Who are you?" Lu Heng asked.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered food with a Divine Status, even if it’s incomplete." Words echoed in Spirit from those eyes.
Lu Heng immediately realized that the other party considered him food.
Quickly thinking, Lu Heng hurriedly said, "Eating me is useless. I know where there’s food with complete Divine Status."
