"Interference rate 25%. Model conversion ratio 52%. Fluctuating."
He Yueyin wasn't like Luo Nan. Her senses could cross multiple dimensions to lock onto an unmanifested threat. But her combat intuition, honed over the years, gave her a premonition to deal with fatal threats. Aside from this, the concrete data reflected the problem even more prominently.
The interference rate and conversion ratio fluctuated clearly. The rising momentum slowed, but the domain interference was still there … … The great enemy was still there. It did not end because of the flesh and blood fingers exploding.
This was a fatal moment!
Luo Nan and the others fell from the collapsed floor. Under these circumstances, He Yueyin had exhausted all of her abilities to use a sharp blade to split open the fingers that were exploding at seven times the speed of sound. But the instant the flesh and blood exploded was the moment when a terrifying force of another level was released.
No matter how amazing He Yueyin was, it was impossible for her to gather her strength and resist the impact of a bullet that was on a level far above the speed of sound. The enemy clearly had an overwhelming advantage, but they just had to grasp the rhythm of attacking the weak. They were calm and callous, not giving anyone a chance.
The group was still in the process of falling when the outer layer of the exoskeleton armor of the three Deep Blue Walkers at the front suddenly exploded with fine sparks of electricity. The tough armor structure even underwent minute deformations. All the sensor devices went off in alarm. The corresponding impact had far exceeded the protective limits of the exoskeleton armor.
And this was after the formatted domain had buffered them.
He Yueyin issued a warning, "Splash Evasion!"
Cat Eyes let out a muffled groan. Her naturally spread open upper arm suddenly exploded with a bloody light. A terrifying gap appeared, exposing dense white bone. She didn't panic in the face of danger. Before the pain could truly take shape, she forcefully pulled back and curled into a ball, doing her best to reduce the area of contact with the outside world.
Fortunately, she reacted in time. Light sounds rang out in the surrounding air. Those were the sonic booms of the exploding finger fragments streaking through the void. Every sound represented a terrifying killing power that could pierce through flesh and blood.
And at this moment, the area several dozen meters around them emitted gurgling water vapor once more. It was as if a sauna was covering their heads, hot and humid.
They crashed into the floor under the cover of the water vapor. Then they shot backward, wanting to forcefully charge out of the area covered by the flesh and blood fragments.
Not good. This won't do!
Luo Nan nearly bit off his teeth. From his perspective, the exploding flesh and blood were not just a fired bullet. They themselves were a taut bowstring on another level. A terrifying storm was brewing on the microscopic plane, connecting with the source of power in the distant deep space.
Luo Nan utilized this power to the limit. Even if there were only milligrams of flesh and blood nearby, the power would burst forth, enough to grind them into dust.
Luo Nan spared no effort to increase the structural strength of the interference scene. He strove to destroy the connection, and he did indeed achieve some results.
Deep Space's fatal arrow didn't shoot at the first moment because the bowstring was affected by the effects of the Deep Sea Map. It could only vibrate at the bottom of the sea and was obstructed. The surrounding water vapor was the result of this interference.
The most critical problem was that the enemy had a real and practical fulcrum on the material plane. Even if the former 'biker gang' had exploded, the flesh and blood fragments were still there. The foundation of the manipulation was still there. Even if it was only at the micron scale, it was enough to be used.
As for Luo Nan himself, even though he was a living person placed here, he did not possess the strength and level to support the Deep Sea Map to interfere with the material plane a step further.
With the strength of Luo Nan's current body, he didn't even have the qualifications to forcefully do it!
At this moment, the disturbances within the range of the interference scene accelerated the collision between particles. Soul power interweaved in a miraculous manner, as though an unprecedented and wondrous world had been formed in an instant. However, purely using soul power to interfere with the material world was only a basic framework, dividing out a bit of space within the inherent structure of the world. This space was unstable, and he needed to pour more power into it.
Something had to be added to the balance between nothingness and reality. Something had to be added to make this world of nothingness tilt towards the material plane.
Who should I fill?
At this moment, his closed system arranged all the elements in front of him and began to deduce them layer by layer. His thoughts might have spun thousands of times, or it might have been a flash of inspiration that really allowed him to find a bargaining chip that he could either put in or abandon.
The external neuron trembled. At the core of the Condensation Ring, an even finer and more intricate structure was formed. It guided the soul energy and interfered with the image of the deep sea.
Luo Nan's mind went blank. Most of his accumulated soul strength was instantly sucked out and coiled in the void. It formed a new structure, erected in the middle of two distant voids.
A marvelous door opened, blowing misty clouds into the two unfathomable worlds of the void. One was the cloud world. The other was the image of the deep sea produced by the interference …. Only the two had nothing to do with the real world.
In the next second, an enormous hairy arm stretched out from the spatial door. Each arm was over two meters long, and it made a standard posture of cross defense.
Such an enormous being could not be more striking, even in the depths of the mist. However, the others were completely unaware of this, including He Yueyin, who was carrying Luo Nan as she ran.
This was because Luo Nan pulled apart the distance between him and the surrounding people the instant the spatial passageway was erected. Perhaps it was due to the difference in dimensions. In any case, the independent space, which was abnormally active with water molecules, was truly supported. It was faintly discernible, faintly distant, faintly illusory.
In the previous instant, the Fatal Arrow had been launched, casting the shadow of a certain world down. However, the process from the moment it was launched to the moment it landed had already become a moat!
The Mushed Mouth Ape Yuan Yi's enormous arm instantly combusted in the region where water molecules were abundant. Perhaps it turned into ashes, or perhaps some charcoal remained. It let out a pained roar, but this roar only exploded in the cloud world. Even though a bit of the aftermath seeped in occasionally, it merely reverberated within the water world Luo Nan had created. It was annihilated without a trace.
However, the world constructed from the deep sea map shook intensely at this time. It began to collapse layer by layer. The hurricane of impact blew over, causing Luo Nan to suddenly understand. No matter what kind of space it was, he was the center of the world. It would be fine if the impact force was consumed, but if there was any left over, he would be the first to bear the brunt!
Did he get himself trapped?
However, Sister Yueyin and the others should be much better off ….
Before he could finish his thought, the interference components attached to his skin-tight protective suit heated up. A familiar sense of order expanded from his body, rapidly spreading outwards.
The Logic World!
In an instant, the deep sea map, the enemy's fatal domain, the Logic World, and the cloud world, which projected a bit of a shadow, twisted into a ball. A shattered maelstrom and warped laws burst forth in an instant, sweeping everyone's consciousness away from the Polar Domain.
Luo Nan's mind went blank. The feeling of extreme weakness was like the pitch-black wings of a crow covering him. It made everything before his eyes turn dark. There was no longer any light.
What did it feel like to be a thief, to be empty? Or perhaps he should ask, what did it feel like to be a bottomless pit?
Luo Nan captured his self-awareness from his drowsiness due to lack of oxygen in his brain, and he inexplicably had this thought.
He knew the reason why he felt like a thief, to be empty. It was mainly because he had forcefully linked the illusory space and time of the deep sea map with the cloud world. At the same time, he had constructed a spatial skeleton and a passage between the two worlds. This had instantly extracted all of his soul strength.
Although he was "short of oxygen", he did not faint. During this process, he clearly knew that the closed system that belonged to him, which was the large production line formed by his believers, was still operating non-stop, producing a huge amount of soul power that was constantly being replenished.
But the problem was that with the powerful production capacity of the large production line, after a period of time, a certain amount of reserves should be provided to alleviate the predicament of a dried up lamp. But Luo Nan could clearly feel his soul strength pour out in torrents at an extremely stable and heroic speed.
Could it be that he had become a large sieve after receiving a strike from the Dimensional Crossbow?
Oh, the term Dimensional Crossbow was something he had gathered from the outside world while he was in a drowsy state.
Luo Nan's dried-up mental strength took a slight turn for the better, and he forced himself to rouse his mind. He extended his consciousness in the direction of the pouring soul strength. In a moment of absent-mindedness, his telepathic thoughts cut into the cloud world where chaotic clouds flew about.
The spatial passage was still there?
Luo Nan felt the violent trembling of the air current in the clouds before he could finish his thought. The source was none other than Yuan Yi, who had forcefully blocked the Dimensional Crossbow's long-distance attack. Yuan Yi was swinging his already crippled arms as he roared madly. Admittedly, the destruction of his arms was one of the reasons for Yuan Yi's wretched cries, but the destructive power of an Extraordinary was the source of his greatest pain.
The Mushed Mouth Ape possessed an extremely powerful regenerative ability, but no matter how its wounded body regenerated, it was destroyed by the destructive power once more. This process repeated over and over again, bringing about enormous pain. Yuan Yi howled miserably to the heavens, and the enormous sound wave covered a vast area of several hundred kilometers. It shook the sea of clouds to churn, sending ice crystals flying in all directions, and surging waves.
Yuan Yi's howls of pain attracted quite a few of his kind to spectate. The corresponding mental senses shuttled back and forth in all directions, but Yuan Yi couldn't care less …. Huh?
Why do I know what happened several hundred kilometers away?
Luo Nan's mind trembled, and he took advantage of the situation to spread it out. Soon, he had a general understanding of what had happened …. The soul cloak, the deep sea scene. They had truly given him a great surprise!
He had once believed that the deep sea scene formed from interference in the previous battle had suffered the impact of the Dimensional Crossbow, and that it had broken down and collapsed. But from the looks of it now, there were still some skeletons left behind. The corresponding laws and powers also remained. It was just that the bit that remained was linked to the temporary pillar, Yuan Yi. It was struck by the powerful impact into the spatial passageway and poured into the cloud world.
It would have been fine if this was all. With its incomplete structure, it would naturally collapse without the support of sufficient interference power.
But perhaps Yuan Yi's pillar was remarkable, or perhaps the effects of the soul cloak were special, or perhaps the cloud world was a region rich in water molecules. Of course, there were other reasons as well …. In any case, the deep sea scene, this special soul cloak, gradually recovered and became complete during this time when Luo Nan's mental strength was exhausted. Moreover, it continued to drift in the cloud world, spreading layer by layer.
Right now, Luo Nan's first impression of the deep sea scene was that it was large. It was inconceivably large. For a time, he was actually unable to calculate just how wide of a region this special soul cloak covered after drifting and spreading over this period of time.
He only knew that the range of his mental senses, which he was once so proud of, was like a temporary shack when compared to this vast region. It was similar to the enormous metropolis of Xia City. He just wanted to use the range of his senses as a standard unit of measurement, but this unit was so small that it was meaningless.
In this way, the source of the bottomless pit was revealed.
Even though Luo Nan's accumulated soul strength was like a vast ocean of glaciers under the soul cloak mode, it was still insufficient for him to scatter it over such a vast cloud world and sufficiently interfere. Looking at it from a different angle, Luo Nan had yet to be sucked dry under such a terrifying momentum of expansion. This made Luo Nan look at Luo Nan with a whole new level of respect for his closed-system large production line.
At this very moment, the soul cloak was pulling Luo Nan's consciousness to wander within the boundless and boundless layers of clouds. An interference scene of this scale could truly be described as grand and spectacular. Luo Nan really was excited for a period of time, but his thoughts changed once his initial mood passed.
It seemed to be meaningless...
Luo Nan felt that this was very inconceivable. His interference scene and the corresponding range of his senses had already expanded to this degree, but he was still unable to discover the edge of this cloud world. He was unable to discover the corresponding source of the bloody light reflected and flowing between the clouds.
This world seemed to be practically the same up, down, left, and right. Or perhaps it was an infinite reproduction of a limited picture. There were practically no changes in this world other than the Mushed Mouth Apes that flew and wandered about.
Luo Nan was finally convinced that this was a maze world constructed from the light of blood, energy, and clouds. If he didn't grasp the key to solving this maze, he wouldn't be able to gain anything new even if he multiplied the range of the soul cloak by a hundred times.
Luo Nan's mind stirred when his thoughts reached this point, and the expansion speed of the soul cloak clearly slowed down. Originally, he wanted to completely stop this meaningless expansion, but when the soul cloak's expansion speed decreased to a certain extent, he made a new discovery.
The growth of his soul strength had clearly sped up, but it didn't return to the unbearable degree of before. Consumption and growth had reached an excellent equilibrium.
This was also possible?
Luo Nan was overjoyed. If he could use the soul cloak to effectively control the equilibrium between his body and soul, to reach the point where he could adjust the growth of his soul strength at will, to increase or decrease it at will, then he would be profiting no matter what.
Luo Nan thought about the scene. When facing an enemy, his body and soul were coordinated as one, linked together. When he cultivated, the two were fully coupled, and his soul strength was effectively fed back …. In this way, the imbalance between his body and soul that had plagued him since the beginning of his cultivation would become history!
Luo Nan inevitably spent some time on the soul cloak, adjusting the reserves and increments of his soul strength to a degree that matched the strength of his body. Sure enough, it felt quite different. As for whether or not it was the optimal state, he would have to carefully experience it in the future, polish, and adjust it.
Only now did Luo Nan turn his attention to another direction. He saw that Yuan Yi was about to be unable to hold on any longer.
Luo Nan split his attention to circle around Yuan Yi's body a few times. He wanted to ponder over a method to help Yuan Yi resolve its pain, but he discovered that something was wrong upon closer inspection. The pitiful Mushed Mouth Ape before him clearly had a fatal drain in its body, aside from the enormous amount of essence energy it consumed to regenerate.
That fellow, the Wraith Sign, was still holding him back!
Indeed, the Wraith Sign had been implanted into Yuan Yi's body a long time ago. It had devoured Yuan Yi's abundant essence energy to fatten itself. It seemed to be in a certain stage of evolution.
This sort of devouring would have been fine in the past. With the Mushed Mouth Ape's powerful essence energy reserves and regenerative abilities, the Wraith Sign would be able to maintain a balance no matter how greedy it was. But right now, due to the destructive power of an Extraordinary, Yuan Yi needed to divide a large portion of its reserves to regenerate its limbs. And this gave the Wraith Sign a chance.
The Wraith Sign's insatiable greed instinctively did not care whether the state of the parasite was good or bad. On the contrary, Yuan Yi's poor state caused its ability to control its own essence energy to decline. The Wraith Sign seized the opportunity to expand the scope of its devouring and absorption, finally breaking the balance.
The Mushed Mouth Ape was a natural hunter and a powerful warrior, but its instincts were still unable to understand the weight of its own life and death choices. It wanted to regenerate its two arms, but it was apprehensive of the Wraith Sign's devouring and absorption, causing its own state to run madly toward an irreversible and desperate situation.
It was really enough! Luo Nan wanted to control the Wraith Sign's greedy instincts. After all, Yuan Yi was an extremely rare instant combat power. If it weren't for its existence today, He Yueyin and He Yueyin would have most likely died without a corpse remaining.
Luo Nan was just about to give the Wraith Sign an order when a marvelous vibration suddenly came from the area covered by the soul cloak. It made his hair stand on end.
Luo Nan's mind quickly turned to an area several hundred kilometers away. A thunderclap rang out from the depths of the hazy clouds. Two figures that were incompatible with the cloudy world he was used to appeared out of thin air.
One of them was a bit familiar.
She was wrapped in a layer of muslin clothing. Her figure was graceful, but it was illusory and unreal. Her hair hung down like a waterfall of green light, half-concealing her figure. She was covered in a layer of cloud energy, drifting back and forth. She was simply the best spokesperson for the cold ghost.
This was … Snake Tongue.
Luo Nan's heart fiercely thumped a few times after confirming the identity of the newcomer. He nearly charged over. Luckily, he remembered that there was another fellow by Snake Tongue's side. This person also appeared in the form of a soul body. The strength of the aura that was exposed even exceeded the range of Luo Nan's usual estimations. Luo Nan could only rely on his senses. It seemed that this person wasn't much different from President Ouyang and Her Majesty Empress Wu.
An Extraordinary?
Luo Nan's thoughts were still unclear when the air over there vibrated. "The deviation in direction is too great. It's at least three hundred kilometers."
"There aren't more than three people in the inner world who are able to warp space-time and realize the teleportation of soul bodies. Not to mention that the spatial structure of this world is completely different from that of Earth …. Secretary-General Gong is too modest." Snake Tongue's tone was indifferent as she spoke flattering words. She didn't know that their conversation had already been transmitted several hundred kilometers away through some inconceivable channel.
How could Luo Nan not know that the other person who had appeared in the cloud world in the form of an out-of-body state was the Deputy Secretary-General of the Explorer's Society Headquarters, Gong Qi, who had graced Xia City with grace.
The two of them flew through the air. They were probably shaken by Yuan Yi's roar or attracted by the aftermath of the spatial turbulence earlier. The direction in which they flew later also proved this point.
Luo Nan didn't understand at all. Why was Gong Qi able to come to the cloud world? He was even more stupefied right now. What should he do next?
Based on the speed at which the two flew, they would arrive in this area in half a minute at most. Luo Nan's consciousness could return to the real world, but what about Yuan Yi and the Wraith Sign on Yuan Yi's body? Even if Yuan Yi fled with all his might, he might not be able to escape the pursuit of an Extraordinary like Gong Qi, let alone the fact that Yuan Yi was currently heavily injured.
Luo Nan didn't believe that this sort of strange situation could be hidden from Gong Qi's eyes.
What to do? What to do? What to do?
Luo Nan's mind suddenly stirred when he was at his wit's end. The Wraith Sign's cheerful cry was like a hurricane that swept past. Yuan Yi's body structure finally collapsed after a long period of pointless struggle. His enormous body suddenly collapsed, transforming into a dense mass of bloody light. The Wraith Sign at the center of his body swallowed it cleanly.
With the Wraith Sign's own ability, it shouldn't have been able to devour it cleanly and quickly. However, there was something else within the Wraith Sign that revealed its extraordinary power.
The Bloodsoul Temple. The Bloodflame Order viewed the Bloodsoul Temple as their foundation, but a freak combination of factors formed a symbiotic relationship with the Wraith Sign. The Bloodsoul Temple suddenly stole the show, working hand in glove with the Wraith Sign to display a powerful diversion ability.
From Yuan Yi's perspective, nothing was more tragic than a bottomless pit turning into two. This was the final straw that broke the camel's back.
In the blink of an eye, the enormous essence energy that came from Yuan Yi was divided and consumed by the Wraith Sign and the Bloodsoul Temple. The power was like a whale sucking in water. In the blink of an eye, not a single drop was left.
Luo Nan had just obtained his immediate combat power, but it collapsed and dissolved like this. Not even a drop of blood existed. However, Luo Nan didn't have the time to lament at this critical juncture. Instead, he felt deeply fortunate. He immediately called out to the Wraith Sign, telling this damnable thing to quickly scram!
Compared to the obvious target of the Mushed Mouth Ape, the Human-Faced Arachnid that wandered on the mental plane escaped far too easily. It fled into the depths of the Polar Domain in the blink of an eye, leaving no traces behind.
Gong Qi and Snake Tongue rushed to the scene a dozen seconds later. All they saw was the scattered wisps of cloud energy and the remnants of the Mushed Mouth Ape's essence energy that flooded the cloud world. Aside from this, there were no other traces that could be traced.
In the real world, on the bed of a suite in the Shangding Building. Luo Nan opened his eyes and stared straight at the ceiling. The joy of escaping with his life had already been erased. All that was left was the deep silence and restlessness of the bottom of a trench.
Was he lucky? Lucky my ass!
Gong Qi and Snake Tongue … … His cloud world, the mystical place that his mother had used inconceivable methods to guide him to, had actually been invaded by these two. They had wantonly searched, polluting the purity of that place. They might even have destroyed the clues his mother had left behind.
He could not allow it. He absolutely could not allow it!
Under the effect of Luo Nan's emotions, the sealed system's large production line trembled. Cat Eyes, who had a closer relationship with him, sensed the abnormality and took the initiative to contact him.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Nan didn't respond. He didn't know how to respond. He just continued to struggle with himself. Even if he loathed and hated, reality was right there. Disregarding Snake Tongue, Gong Qi, who had somehow entered the cloud world, was a genuine Extraordinary. His strength was robust beyond compare. With Luo Nan's ability, how should he deal with him? How should he expel or even exterminate him?
Reason and emotions clashed. Restlessness and depression twisted together. It consumed nearly all of Luo Nan's mental strength. He could only search the system over and over again for the power that could be used. He made deductions in hopes of finding a way to deal with it.
Luo Nan had experienced this sort of situation before when he had to deal with the Dimensional Crossbow. But he had to pay attention to this. Even if the formidable strength of an Extraordinary lay before him, defending against it and exterminating it were two completely different concepts.
His deductions reached a dead end time and time again. Then he had to start all over again.
The sealed system was clearly a bit overheated, so much so that every member within felt a heavy pressure. Moreover, it accumulated layer upon layer, showing no signs of abating. When this pressure accumulated to a certain degree, the star river scene embedded between reality and illusion underwent subtle yet general distortions and deformations.
Cat Eyes could not help but transmit once more, "What the hell are you doing!?"
Luo Nan was disturbed. He had just furrowed his brows when a peculiar reaction cut in from the side of the system. Before he could truly realize what was going on, he sensed a hustle and bustle in the passageway outside the door. It was quite noisy.
At this time, reason slightly suppressed his emotions. He understood that the endless loop was not that easy to undo. He put on his clothes and got up after some thought. He opened the door and went out. He just so happened to bump into a staff member passing by the door.
"What's going on?"
"Oh, Boss Luo." The staff member recognized Luo Nan. He greeted him and said, "That young lady over there. She's the one you saved from the hands of Quantum Corporation. She went from a moderate coma to a light coma. In theory, she can wake up at any time."
Luo Nan loosened his hand and responded with a bit of a daze, "Really?"
Luo Nan's domain spanned an enormous amount, causing him to be unable to react for a time. But Luo Nan followed the staff member forward under the drive of some marvelous sensation. They arrived at the corridor outside the twelfth floor's monitoring room. He looked at the girl on the bed through the enormous glass wall.
The girl lay there quietly. Her breathing was steady. All sorts of equipment were disregarded. It was as if she was sleeping soundly every day.
