"Hmph …" A sliver of disdain and ridicule flashed through the soldier's eyes. "Let's begin!"
Humm humm humm humm ~ ~ ~
Following the press of the white-robed man's palm, the sparkling runes on the transmission array barrier started to rapidly rotate.
The scenery and sounds from the outside world were instantly isolated by the rapidly rotating barrier, transforming into a vast expanse of whiteness. On the surface of the rapidly rotating barrier, various kinds of runes transformed into streaks of flowing light, forming strange scenes that contained various kinds of mysteries and laws.
In that instant, Wang Zhong felt as though he had comprehended something. The appearance and combination of these runes had unexpectedly formed an exceedingly mysterious domain that was faintly discernible. This was a manifestation of laws, one that was exceedingly profound and contained the utmost truth. Only those who had an extremely deep understanding of runes would be able to sense it. Such a profound manifestation of laws might not even be known by the people who had invented the Dimensional Transfer Machine. More accurately speaking, this technology did not originate from the Federation.
This comprehension was too sudden, and too shocking. However, before he could calm his heart and observe, a frightening beam of light descended from the sky. An incomparably massive pulling force radiated from the pillar of light, accompanied by an intense shattering force. In an instant, everyone felt as though their bodies were being torn apart, as though they had already been shredded into pieces by the frightening beam of light. All of them clutched their heads in pain, while the female shrieked out in terror like a pig being slaughtered. However, even her voice was shattered by the distorting beam of light. By the time it reached the ears of the others, it had already turned into fragments! In fact, they could even see each other's bodies being pulled apart, shredded into countless fragments, while their faces had already been shattered. Under the wrapping of a mysterious force, they continued to split apart, before forcefully gathering together. It was as though they had transformed into countless densely packed squares, or even numbers, before dispersing into nothingness.
As the humming sound reached its peak, everyone could see the 'fragments' of each other's bodies being forcefully pulled and absorbed. Their flesh and blood, bodies, and even their consciousness were pulled into the air at the speed of light, rushing into a vast and unknown space!
Wang Zhong could feel his own body shattering apart. In fact, this feeling was something that he could see through his Heart's Eye, and not something that came from his senses.
At this moment, he was still within the transmission channel. He could sense a boundless pillar of energy rushing towards the sky. It seemed to pierce through the endless space, traversing through the void and heading towards a mysterious and distant place.
In the beginning, he could still hear the fragmented cries of pain from the others, but now, he could no longer hear them. He could only see the countless fragments of bodies being transported through the channel, including himself.
It was likely that the others had already fainted, or were simply unable to form their consciousness. However, due to Wang Zhong 'incomparably powerful spiritual consciousness, he was not affected by the terrifying beam of light. He could no longer feel the existence of his body. On the contrary, he felt much more relaxed, as he no longer felt the pain from being shredded apart. After all, he was a ferocious person who could spiritually travel to the Hyperdimension just by relying on his Spiritual Soul. Furthermore, the strength of his Spiritual Soul had even caused experts like Mu Zi and Aioros to sigh in admiration.
It was a solitary runic array, approximately six to seven meters in circumference. It was exactly the same runic array as the one on the transmission platform. From the looks of it, it was connected to the other side, allowing one to receive and send out messages.
Hum hum hum hum …
With just a single thought, Wang Zhong's body had already gushed out from the light channel.
The intense sensation of being shredded apart immediately returned, causing Wang Zhong's entire body to break out in cold sweat.
He clenched his teeth and forcefully endured the pain, while the miserable cries of the few people beside him rang out. One could see their bodies being shredded into countless fragments in an extremely short period of time, before lying on the ground, their bodies trembling incessantly. The valiant woman, the little loli, and even the man who had spoken out earlier were all howling in grief and powerlessness, while their bodies curled up in pain. The other burly man clenched his teeth, while large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Although his body was trembling, he did not make a single sound.
This wasn't the comfortable method of teleporting his soul out of his body. Wang Zhong could only silently endure the various kinds of pain, numbness, and powerlessness in his body, causing him to feel like fainting. This lasted for over ten minutes before he was able to relax.
As the various kinds of discomfort in his body gradually dissipated, Wang Zhong struggled to sit up from the ground.
Having the experience of descending into the Hyperdimension, Wang Zhong believed that he had an extremely good understanding of this place. However, the feeling he had right now was completely different from when he had first arrived in the Hyperdimension.
Previously, when his soul had descended, Wang Zhong had felt that he was much stronger than he was in reality. The toughness of his soul body was even more tenacious than his fleshly body. Strength was the essence of the Hyperdimension. However, at this moment, what he felt was a rapidly increasing gravity.
The gravity here was at least seven to eight times that of Earth. This was already close to the gravity limit of normal training. Other than the extreme gravity, the temperature here was also considerably high, with an average temperature of around 50 degrees Celsius. If an ordinary person was thrown here, they would definitely be dehydrated or even die in a short one or two hours. Although the adaptability of new humans was stronger, they would definitely be unable to endure staying in such an environment for a long period of time.
An astonishingly bright light shone in the sky. Raising his head slightly, Wang Zhong squinted his eyes and saw a celestial body similar to the sun. This sun was considerably large, with its intense light causing people to be unable to look directly at it. However, it seemed to be very close to the ground. Clearly, this was the source of the high temperature here.
Surrounding him was a scalding desert region, with one's vision unable to reach far. Countless waves of hot air rose from the horizon, distorting the scenery in the distance, causing people to be unable to see anything clearly.
What is this place? From the words of the valiant woman, this seemed to be some sort of land of exile.
Wang Zhong felt that there was definitely a problem with this training. Even he had heard of the blessed lands, so this place definitely had nothing to do with them.
If this was a matter of some power wanting to kill him, why would they need to go through so much trouble? Furthermore, the so-called banishment and exile policies of the Federation would generally strip the commoner or aristocrat of their status, before banishing them to the outskirts of the city to fend for themselves. The majority of them would end up as refugees. For them to pay such a huge price to send the 'criminal' to this strange place through dimensional transmission, it was truly incomprehensible if they were to say that they were just exiled.
However, the people around him seemed to know more than him. Perhaps he could obtain some clues from them. Not feeling anxious, Wang Zhong looked to the side. This was a rather strange group of people.
There was a middle-aged burly man with a long knife scar on his face, stretching from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. The terrifying scar caused people to be unable to make out his original appearance, only giving people a rather fierce feeling. His thick muscles and body contained an extremely strong life force, while his Soul Power reaction was extremely high. Upon landing, a layer of faint silvery Soul Power enveloped his body.
This was a Heroic Soul Stage soldier with an extremely grave and stern expression on his face. He was also the first person to completely recover from his injuries, showing that he possessed extraordinary strength.
Next to him was a woman dressed very seductively. Her facial features should have been quite beautiful, but it seemed that she had not taken good care of her 'face' for a long time. On her dusty face, the powder that used to be thick and gaudy had now become the culprit that ruined her face. Her face was smeared all over the place. Her long blonde hair had also lost its original luster, with some of it sticking together. It was greasy and extremely unsightly.
The surface of her body also sparkled with a faint silvery glow. Unexpectedly, she was also a Heroic Soul Stage soldier. However, her Soul Power reaction seemed to be slightly weaker than the scarred man.
Not only her, there was also a young man dressed in a suit beside them. He was also a Heroic Soul Stage soldier, with a faint silvery glow covering his body. What was even more interesting was that even the 14 to 15 year old girl was unexpectedly a Heroic Soul Stage expert. Her body was similarly wrapped in a silvery glow, radiating with a faint radiance. Her Heroic Soul Stage reaction was clearly the weakest amongst the four. However, being able to reach this stage at such a young age was indeed astonishing.
This wasn't considered abnormal.
The so-called geniuses in the CHF were all at the Casted Soul Stage. That was because they were forcefully suppressing their own realms. Under normal circumstances, geniuses like Wu Li would be able to break through to the Heroic Soul Stage at the age of 13 or 14 if they wanted to advance rapidly.
As for the various great aristocratic families and those rich families that had considerable experience in nurturing Heroic Soul Stage soldiers, they were able to allow their children to achieve this within a short one or two years of awakening their Soul Seas. All they needed to do was to temper their bodies slightly and increase their adaptability. After that, a single pill was all that was needed.
Naturally, this was a rather shallow foundation, and did not possess much combat prowess. It was specially designed for those aristocratic families that wanted to extend their lifespans. After all, after stepping into the Heroic Soul Stage, there would be a huge change to one's body structure, and one's lifespan would generally be double that of an ordinary person. Many aristocratic families controlled large amounts of wealth, and did not need to fight. At a young age, their parents would arrange for them to take a pill to break through to the Heroic Soul Stage, allowing them to leisurely enjoy a long life. After all, the earlier one broke through, the longer one's lifespan would be extended. This little loli clearly belonged to this category.
At this moment, the few of them had already awoken. Everyone seemed to have a certain level of understanding of this place, as none of them showed any overly astonished expressions. Instead, they each grabbed a backpack lying on the ground.
Wang Zhong also grabbed one. Opening it, he saw ten transparent square bottles neatly arranged within, each of them containing different things.
Wang Zhong had seen these things before in the Diamond Dimensional Base Station. They were highly compressed liquids that the Federation's military had on hand. Half of them were food, while the other half were compressed liquids. One bottle of food and one bottle of compressed liquids was enough for an ordinary person to eat for a month, as well as replenish their water requirements. Even for new humans with better appetites, five bottles was enough to last them for two to three months.
The girl was the first to pick up the bottle of compressed liquids. However, she did not drink it, instead carefully squeezing some into her hand.
The solid compressed liquids rapidly melted under the 60 degrees Celsius high temperature. Unexpectedly, the pea-sized liquid turned into a handful of clear water, which she then used to wipe her face.
The suited male's voice rang out from the side. "The weather here is hot, and the consumption of water cannot be measured normally. This might be the water that can save your life."
"I rely on this to make a living! This old lady's face is my life!" Said the girl in a fierce tone. "Those bastards! They didn't give me a single drop of water during the past few days. They're simply worse than beasts."
Shaking his head, the suited male carefully squeezed out a bit of water the size of a rice grain. Tossing it into his mouth, his dry lips instantly moistened by quite a bit, allowing him to recover from the intense consumption of energy from the teleportation.
Even a Heroic Soul Stage soldier would not be able to withstand the terrifying sun above their heads.
The little loli beside him started to sob, her face filled with terror. The environment here had clearly scared her, causing her to feel fear.
Standing beside her, the scarred man said coldly, "The more you cry, the faster you'll die."
His cold voice contained an aura that caused people's hearts to palpitate, causing the little girl's sobs to immediately stop.
"Hey, hey." The girl showed no fear towards the scarred man, appearing extremely valiant. Patting the little girl's shoulder, she shouted towards the scarred man, "Is there any meaning in a big man scaring a little girl?"
With a cold snort, the scarred man continued to size up the surrounding environment.
At this moment, everyone had already recovered. Other than the little girl, the others appeared to be relatively calm, and were not in a hurry to leave. Clearly, they had a much better understanding of this place than him, a completely confused fellow. Wang Zhong did not rush to ask any questions, instead quietly waiting for them.
After washing her face, the girl wiped away the dust and powder on her face, revealing her rather delicate and pretty facial features. She drank a small mouthful of water, much more conserving than when she washed her face. However, her actions and words were no longer that of a virtuous lady. Instead, she radiated a thick aura of a female hoodlum as she casually wiped her mouth.
Coughing dryly, the suited male pushed up the spectacles on his face and was the first to speak up. "Everyone should have a general understanding of the situation before coming here. Now that we're in the cursed lands, it won't be that easy to leave. If we want to survive, we'll have to work together with sincerity. How about we introduce ourselves and let everyone understand each other? "
Cursed lands? A frown appeared on Wang Zhong's face.
The cursed lands that corresponded to the blessed lands in the hyperdimension had been described sporadically on the Skylink. Although it was a rather superficial description, it was enough for Wang Zhong to start to understand the situation he was in. It appeared that the situation was much worse than he had imagined. There was an 80 to 90% chance that the Zhao Family and the Gui Family did not see eye to eye with him. Furthermore, they had come to some sort of agreement with the Parliament.
The scarred man did not respond to Gong Yi. With an expressionless face, he did not even turn his head. Instead, he was looking into the distance, appearing to have a very heavy heart.
The girl beside him was extremely straightforward. "This old lady will go first."
She stroked the sticky hair on her forehead. In the end, she was still unwilling to use this life-saving water to wash her hair. "Cao Hong, I run a happiness business. You can call me Sister Hong or Little Hong. There's a fatty who relied on the fact that a distant relative of his was from the Gui Family, and played with me for free without paying. In the end, he was personally killed by me. I never expected that he really had a relationship with the Gui Family. In the end, he brought me here … "
