On the operation light beam, the parameters that represented the temperature inside and outside of the starship and the performance of the spiritual shield were surging at a high speed as if they had been injected with strengthening drugs!
The sea of stars presented a completely different view from a moment ago.
When Gold Horn was about to dash out of the Dim Flame Belt, the 'Wraiths' Wrath 'finally tore apart the last bit of camouflage and extended countless fiery claws.
Before, the universe that was as dark as ink could still be seen through the gaps of the broken stars.
But right now, the light beam was covered in thousands of complicated redness.
The meteoroids, the debris of the starship, and even the vacuum of the universe seemed to be burning furiously!
Behind Gold Horn, the countless meteoroids and torrents of flames in the Dim Flame Belt were all revolving slowly in the same direction at a higher and higher speed. Gradually, a crimson swirl that was even more magnificent than a nebula was formed.
In the deepest part of the funnel-shaped swirl, there was a light ball that was so dazzling that nobody could look at it directly like a supernova outbreak!
The swirl of nebula was growing larger and larger like a snowball that had fallen off a cliff. It absorbed the meteoroids and the spiritual energy of fire around and expanded at a visible speed.
It was like a bloody mouth that had suddenly opened in the sea of stars and bit at Gold Horn. The torrents of flames that were spurting out like solar prominences were the sharpest tusks!
"True Fusion, Space Swirl!"
Li Yao and Bai Ze both changed their expressions.
True Fusion was one of the most dreadful natural disasters in the universe.
Ever since the Cultivators learned about the three thousand Sectors and the endless sea of stars, mysterious spiritual energy was everywhere. Mysterious' spiritual energy 'existed everywhere, and after they had exhausted all the methods to' train 'it, countless intelligent Cultivators began to think about it. What was the essence of spiritual energy?
To this day, whether spiritual energy was a type of particle or a type of wave had yet to be determined.
But many Cultivators had changed the direction of their exploration to a different field.
Some Cultivators thought and divided a part of spiritual energy until it could not be divided at all. What would happen?
Some other Cultivators thought and merged countless parts of spiritual energy. What would happen when the spiritual energy was gathered and compressed to the maximum?
The two studies had been carried out for thousands of years. It had lasted for tens of thousands of years and was one of the most fundamental problems in the modern Cultivation world.
Although the ultimate answer had yet to be found, the mighty predecessors had discovered that whether it was the fusion or fission of spiritual energy, once it reached a certain level, it would instantly release an incomparably violent destructive force that far exceeded the energy contained in the spiritual energy itself!
And this was very likely. It was the source of the Cultivators' power to move mountains and overturn seas, to change the world!
The fission and fusion of spiritual energy could also be applied to the sky. It explained many inconceivable phenomena.
In a place like the Dim Flame Belt, countless violent spiritual energies were trapped in the narrow, cracked spaces. They attracted, crashed, and condensed with each other. After billions of collisions, there would be a tiny possibility that a certain mysterious condition was met. True Spirit Fusion had occurred.
Once the True Spirit Fusion happened, it would be like a chain reaction. It absorbed more and more spiritual energy from the surroundings to join the changes. In a short moment, the spiritual energy that could have been consumed for hundreds of years was completely consumed, and the unparalleled power was unleashed!
If there was enough spiritual energy and materials nearby, the critical point would be reached. Through the True Spirit Fusion, a new star might even be born!
If there was not enough spiritual energy and materials, the critical point would not be reached. Then, the situation that Gold Horn was facing right now would be similar to that of a space swirl with immense attraction force and destructive power!
In the deepest part of the swirl was the core of the True Fusion. It was roaring furiously, dragging all the materials and energy around it over and swallowing them. It was condensing, condensing, and condensing to the limit, trying to break through the threshold and become a star!
It was perhaps one of the most splendid anomalies in the universe.
As the saying went, moths darted into the flame.
But in this place, billions of furious flames were dashing in the swirl like moths and piercing into the light cluster in the deepest part of the swirl crazily.
Every flame was hundreds of kilometers long. But after piercing into the light cluster, they could only turn into thin, red threads and vanish in the blink of an eye.
The light cluster, on the other hand, slightly expanded. Its halo spread out to hundreds of thousands of kilometers away like the overwhelming aura of an unparalleled expert.
Naturally, it was impossible to hear the sound of the True Spirit Fusion inside Gold Horn.
However, the cracking noises on the shell of the starship and the explosions of a certain unit deep inside the starship below their butts were very similar to the devilish laughter of the fiery monarch.
Gold Horn struggled helplessly for a moment, before it was captured by the invisible attraction force and pulled backward.
Gold Horn was being dragged into the swirl.
The flames spurting out of the rear of Gold Horn were lackluster and insignificant compared to the torrents of the True Spirit Fusion. They were like lambs that were moaning feebly under the claws and teeth of a ferocious tiger.
Behind the rear of the starship, the debris of Ghost Jail was shaking and breaking into pieces like a dry leaf in a wild wind.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
All the ropes of mystic light that were dragging Ghost Jail were cut off voluntarily in case they were dragged into destruction.
The debris of Ghost Jail was immediately captured by the swirl.
It seemed to have been tied up by countless invisible tentacles and dragged into the depths of the swirl.
When it was still tens of thousands of kilometers away from the center of the swirl, it was already crushed into powder by the meteoroids and the torrents of flames and transformed into a tiny spark on a torrent of flames.
Everybody was appalled by the scene.
"Activate the power rune arrays to the maximum. We have to break out of the swirl with all our strength!"
"If we fall into the swirl, there will be no time. Even if the power of the starship is enough to resist the attraction force of the True Spirit Fusion, the starship will not be strong enough and will be torn in half!"
"Hurry up! Everybody put on the Crystal Suit and be prepared to enter the vacuum state!"
"The hardness of the spiritual shield is plummeting. Repair it now! Repair it now!"
Exclamations and roars were echoing nonstop in the communication channel.
Among all the noises, there was one that was particularly earsplitting. "Meteoroid shower! An unprecedentedly large meteoroid shower has appeared in front of us! "
On the 3D light beam, a large area of dense crimson light spots was lunging at Gold Horn.
The meteor shower had been traveling on a path that was very far away from Gold Horn. It had nothing to do with Gold Horn at all.
But it was also grabbed by the True Spirit Fusion and dragged into the 'bloody mouth'.
The meteoroid shower was flying much faster than Gold Horn. It crashed into Gold Horn immediately! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
Ten thousand thunderbolts were exploding inside and outside Gold Horn at the same time.
Gold Horn was like a lone boat in the middle of a raging ocean. It was tossed to the peak of thousands of meters high one moment and then plunged to the bottom of the ocean hundreds of meters deep the next.
The crew members were sometimes under ten times the gravity, and sometimes they were dancing in midair.
Thankfully, everybody had put on the Crystal Suit in time. If it were an ordinary person who had not put on the Crystal Suit, they might have been killed by the explosion of the blood vessels in their brains.
Hundreds of brilliant colors were suddenly shining on the spiritual shield.
Every time each color was dazzled, the hardness of the spiritual shield would be slightly reduced.
Explosions were echoing inside the generator nonstop. Quite a few metal plates carved with rune arrays were shaking. The coolant was boiling!
Li Yao and Bai Ze were gnashing their teeth like two lunatics. They appeared in several corners of the cabin simultaneously like two tornadoes and performed emergency repairs with the few remaining spare parts!
However, the density and intensity of the meteorite shower were too high. Under the bombardment, the spiritual shield finally could not hold on any longer. Quite a few shockingly huge holes appeared in the front of the shield like the melting ice.
The distance was too short, and the speed was too high. Even if the twisting force field was activated to the maximum, it was still impossible to change the direction of the meteoroid shower.
Countless meteoroids had been heated to thousands of degrees because of the friction of the swirl. They hit the shell of Gold Horn like fireballs!
The shell of Gold Horn was immediately riddled with holes.
It reminded one of a beetle that had been gnawed clean by a swarm of ants.
Countless cabins were torn apart. A lot of debris was thrown into space, forming a cluster of blinking gold scales around Gold Horn.
Li Yao's cabin was the first to be hit.
Because of the mechanism of the spiritual shield, the cabin could only be installed at the outermost layer of the starship.
In only half a minute, a lot of meteoroids had hit the shell brutally. All seven layers of plate armor had been torn apart. The defense rune arrays between each layer of plate armor had all been reduced to ash!
"Pa! Pa! Pa!
Pa! Pa! Pa! "Countless meteoroids dashed left and right in the cabin, leaving crimson streaks behind them. Not only did they pierce through a lot of magical equipment units, one of the meteoroids hit Bai Ze precisely!
Thankfully, Bai Ze had put on the Crystal Suit and was an expert in spiritual shields. Seeing that the situation was not good, he had condensed three layers of nested spiritual shields around his body.
"BOOM!"
Bai Ze was blown away through a metal wall. He fell in the debris with his limbs spread out. There was no telling whether he was dead or alive.
Li Yao was still wearing the 'Rockman', the Maintenance Crystal Suit. Illuminated by the crimson brilliance of the helmet, although he was still expressionless, sweat was popping up on his forehead.
Biting his lips, he jumped aside and turned on the automatic repair system of the shell of the starship. Then, he jumped to Bai Ze's side despite the impact of the meteoroids.
The chest of Bai Ze's Crystal Suit had been completely shattered. An obvious crimson dent could be seen. His limbs were cramping, and he did not respond to Li Yao's call at all.
However, Li Yao sensed that his heartbeat and breath were still feeble. He must have passed out because his soul was disturbed by the spiritual energy mixed in the meteoroids.
Li Yao frowned and cursed to himself.
Under such circumstances, even if Bai Ze woke up, he would not be able to perform any maintenance work because of the damage to his soul.
One minute later, the shower of meteoroids was finally over.
But Gold Horn had been turned upside down, too. Many cabins had exploded. Many pathways had been blocked by debris. A lot of magical equipment units had stopped functioning.
Most critically of all, even the engine compartment had experienced a minor explosion. The two main power rune arrays had completely failed.
