Chapter 377 World Barriers

 The research on the wind-breaking ship still has a way to go, but the exploration of the abyss ship has already begun in full swing.

 Casio is still wandering in the abyss of the sea, looking for more ring structures at the bottom of the abyss.

As the new abyss ship was launched, more and more stars began to dive in the direction guided by Casio to jointly study the underwater abyss.

 Duke also went into the water.

However, what he was driving was a special abyssal ship that did not require a crew to assist in the operation. It was completely controlled by Zhi Nao and him alone.

certainly.

 In fact, the key to control lies in Xiaoyi, who can coordinate the intelligent brain integrated in the hull.

This abyss ship was named by him as the wall-breaking ship, which means breaking the barrier of the world. He wanted to open the bottom of the abyss, a structure suspected of being a ring of gods.

"My dear, you have to be careful." Kilia and her wife came to the island city to give Duke a gift.

"Don't worry, my ladies, there is no one in this world who can threaten my existence." Duke chuckled softly, and the confidence in his laughter was extremely firm. He traveled through the deserted continent of Earth and Star for a period of time, and finally became invincible in the world. .

　　Boom!

 On the dock, the carrier of the wall-breaking ship released a strong light of energy.

The light of energy entangled Duke, and expanded completely with Duke as the center, turning into a submarine similar to the shape of a water drop. The hull is completely outlined by energy, about thirty meters long, flashing with colorful thunder.

 Hurrah!

 The wall-breaking ship fell into the sea water without causing much splash. Most of the water flow was directly evaporated by the energy dissipated from the ship's hull.

 “My dear, leave early and come back early!”

"dad…"

"grandfather…"

 Amidst the farewells of relatives, the breaker made a clear whistle sound, then slowly merged into the sea water and began to dive quickly.

With a click, Duke took out the mecha heart from the lunar core mark and integrated it into the wall-breaking ship.

　　The brains cheered together: "Master Duke, we have become stronger!"

Unlike the Walker mecha which only integrates one intelligence brain, the wall-breaking ship integrates four intelligence brains, which are responsible for maintaining the overall shape of the wall-breaking ship.

However, the Mecha Heart can still connect energy with the wall-breaking ship and increase the power of the wall-breaking ship, but it is not as powerful as the increase of the star mecha.

“It can get stronger!” Duke was distracted. While driving the wall-breaking ship, he took out the artifact from the second mark in the lunar core.

After the Mecha Heart was cast, he began to cast the second artifact. Finally, he successfully cast this artifact before the trip to the abyss.

Hum!

 The artifact is a bit big, like a rocket with a thick head, and there are circles of wheels constantly rotating on the entire cylindrical structure.

"Go ahead and fuse it, the Arrow of Dark Belief!" Duke pushed the artifact Arrow of Dark Belief forward, and was entangled in the energy of the wall-breaking ship. It was not until a special energy channel was established with the entire wall-breaking ship that this artifact could Start running for real.

 In the silence, there were waves, and then in Duke's field of vision, the arcane trajectory that was being disrupted by the energy of the wall breaker appeared.

These arcane trajectories seem to be blessed by the power of the Arrow of Secret Faith, slowly recovering from the broken state and finally stabilizing.

 “Beautiful, it really works!” When Duke saw this, the corners of his mouth turned up.

 The Arrow of Secret Faith was his attempt.

 Because whether it is the Star Mecha, the Windbreaker, or the Abyss Ship, they are all created into energy forms through the power of rules. The strong energy impact caused chaotic disturbances to the surrounding space, causing the arcane trajectory to be disrupted.

 Cannot use arcane trajectory to locate, project, or deliver messages.

 Hence, the Ring of Secret Faith cannot work on Star Mecha, Windbreaker, and Abyss Ship. And the stars must maintain the operation of the mecha and ship body at all times, making it impossible to deliver messages separately.

 The only solution is to spend a lot of money to open up storage space in the limited hull of the windbreaker and abyss ship and carry a replica ring.

 Through this replica ring, some information is conveyed—the previous three abyss ships each carried Duke’s sky, ocean, and earth replica rings.

 But even so, the message cannot be delivered instantly.

Duke then thought about forging an artifact that could eliminate the interference of the ship's energy on arcane trajectories and achieve ultra-long-distance wireless communication.

 The Arrow of Secret Faith came into being.

"In addition, the Secret Arrow can also sort out the energy fluctuations of the ship body, allowing the ship body to maintain stability with minimal energy consumption." Thinking of this, Duke asked Xiaoyi, "Check the energy consumption of the wall-breaking ship. Look at the effect of the Secret Arrow."

 “Good master.” Xiaoyi quickly communicated with the four intelligent brains in the ship.

He quickly obtained complete and detailed data and reported to Duke: "Master, through the sorting of secret arrows, the overall energy consumption of the wall-breaking ship has been reduced by about 32%, and the stability of the ship body has been strengthened by a certain coefficient..."

 Mecha Heart increases the strength, and Dark Belief Arrow remains stable.

With the blessing of the two artifacts, the wall-breaking ship has become almost perfect, and Duke can safely control it to dive into the abyss of the sea.

“Then, let’s send a message to the Saint Crystal Palace.” Duke began to try the true function of the secret arrow.

 “Good master.”

 Xiaoyi silently controlled the secret message arrow and began to establish a projection connection with the secret message tower of the Seven Towers Federation with the help of a stable arcane trajectory.



After a busy tone, a large projection screen appeared in front of Duke. On the screen was his assistant Temple Dragon Lance. Dunn Dragon Lance's heavy... great-granddaughter, now the 2nd ring. Arcane mage, responsible for wiring work.

“Ah, boss!” Through the video screen, Temple Dragoon saw Duke, who was entangled in colorful energy.

"It's Temple, go and tell the ladies that you're safe." Duke just tried to see if the secret message ring was feasible. He hung up without saying a few more words to Temple Dragon Lance, and then Call the Abyss Ship Operations Center again.

 The call was connected, and a member of the stars personally connected: "Sir Speaker, it's successful. Your secret message arrow has eliminated the arcane trajectory interference!"

 “Yes, it worked.”

 “So next, can you keep the light conversation flowing?”

"Well, let's take a look first. I've only dived to a depth of three thousand meters now, and I don't know yet about the interference of arcane trajectories in deeper waters." In this way, Duke maintained optical communication with the abyss ship operation center while controlling the wall-breaking The ship dives.

As time goes by.

 The wall-breaking ship finally arrived at the underwater abyss a few days later and reunited with Casio and other abyss ships.

“Great, the communication quality remains stable. Sir, we can use your wall-breaking ship to study the structure of the abyssal ring together!”

“It’s time for everyone to work together and study together.” Duke controlled the wall-breaking ship and approached the ring structure on the seabed.

It can be clearly seen that at the bottom of the abyss blown open by the energy cannon, there is a layer of metal-like creations composed of twists and turns.

 “It’s so exquisite!”

“Sir Speaker, try bombing with an energy cannon!”

 “It would be nice if I could knock off a piece.”

“The abyss ship has tested it before and found that this ring structure cannot be destroyed at all. At least with our current strength, we cannot break it.”

“It depends on the Speaker’s wall-breaking ship.”

"Yes, the wall-breaking ship uses the most powerful fragmentation rules as its material, and also has the Chancellor's Mecha Heart and Secret Message Arrow amplification. It should be able to give the most powerful attack and break the ring structure." Abyss In the ship operations center, staff are in constant communication.

Duke said: "I will first conduct a complete survey at the bottom of the abyss, and then try to break the ring structure."

The submarine abyss is a huge trench that stretches across the seafloor. It is much deeper and larger than the Mariana Trench. It is about 130,000 kilometers long and extends from the Great East China Sea to the Great South China Sea.

  And it shows an arc.

It's like the sea has been drawn by some force, drawing such a uniform arc.

In the following time, Duke drove the wall-breaking ship quickly along the seabed abyss, all the way to the edge of the Great South China Sea, and then began to continuously use energy cannons to clean up the seabed silt, trying to remove the ring structure hidden under the silt. Replica.

Time passes day by day, other abyss ships have returned, and the wall-breaking ships are still working in the abyss.

Duke has his own starry sky and stores a large amount of food to replenish his physical strength at any time. As for psychic energy, the energy storage arcana he carries is enough for him to maintain the use of the wall-breaking ship for more than ten years.

 So and so.

From the autumn of Storm Calendar 4475, to the winter of Storm Calendar 4476, we finally bombarded the entire 130,000-kilometer-long undersea abyss. The ring structure covered under every inch of silt was reproduced one-to-one and transmitted back to the Seven Towers. Commonwealth conducts research.

certainly.

 He himself also asked Xiaoyi to conduct research.

“This is only a part of the ring structure. Except for the exposed parts of the seafloor abyss, other parts are covered by the earth’s crust. The current power is not able to break through the earth’s crust and explore these parts of the ring structure buried by the earth’s crust.”

Duke tried to bombard the wall of the undersea abyss, but it caused several major earthquakes and magma eruptions, almost burying the undersea abyss.

So in the end we had to leave it alone and study the exposed ring structure of the submarine abyss.

but.

Just this exposed part still caused a huge impact on the current spiritual arcane laws of the Federation.

 “This structure is so exquisite!”

“The use of the abyss ring structure directly increases the energy solidification effect of the ring by 3.6%, and it is the most basic ring!”

“What a wonderful workmanship! The abyss ring structure is the real ring. In comparison, our ring is just a poor imitation of it!”

“I don’t want to say it, but the development of the abyssal ring structure will once again revolutionize the foundation of spiritual arcana.”

The exquisite structure of the abyssal ring structure directly allows human beings to once again optimize the foundation of spiritual arcana. All applications involving the ring, such as spirit cards, puppets, mechas, and formations, all benefit from this. Human beings are very interested in spiritual arcana. As a result, his control has reached a higher level.

  The arcane spells mastered by arcane mages have also been optimized, and their power has increased to a higher level.

It can be said that this discovery is no less than the invention of a new ring-level achievement. The abyss ship exploration operation has achieved brilliant achievements.

but.

The abyss ship crossing the endless storm encountered trouble. The wall of sighs in front of it could not be crossed no matter what.

Even if you dive to the bottom of the sea, the wall of sighs still stands.

"This is not the wall of sighs, this is the wall of despair. The abyss ship that we humans are most proud of cannot pass through it." Sylvester, the 8-ring Huiyue arcane instructor who drives one of the abyss ships, said, In the end, he had no choice but to return.

"Perhaps, the wall of sighs and the ring structure of the abyss are connected as one." Franny Sanduck put forward a bold concept, "The strong wind layer in the sky, the ring structure of the abyss under the sea, and the sighs of the sea on all sides The walls form a cage!"

She took a deep breath and sighed: "Perhaps, as the goddess Nyx said, this world has no future, and we live in a cage of despair!"

"Wake up, Franny!" Duke actually felt this way, but he didn't show it. "We have touched the deeper rules of the world. This is a complete progress in spiritual arcana. Believe me, it will be over soon." Can we find the path to the Chapter of the Crowned Sun!"

Although the stars were full of self-confidence, they did not care about the revelation of the goddess Nyx back then.

However, the impact brought by the abyssal ring structure is far greater than imagined, and some stars are still shaken by it.

 “I understand, Lord Speaker.” Franny Merganser nodded.

"Very good, looking forward, I was able to take you to the bright moon back then, and I may not be able to take you to the sun in the future." Duke smiled in the video, "Moreover, the wild continent we are in is absolutely Not the whole world!" Although he didn't know the relationship between the Earth Star, the Spirit Star, the Blood Star, the Air Star, and the Death Star, he could deduce that these worlds were definitely connected to each other.

 It’s just that we haven’t found a way to connect with each other yet.

Once found, humans can quickly occupy spiritual stars, blood stars, air stars, and even go to the Death Star to fight against the evil gods.

With the help of the scars on the earth formed by the gods after eating the spiritual spring, we can continuously exploit the power of rules to build more powerful star mechas, windbreakers, and abyss ships. When the time comes, the crisis of a mere divine evil being annihilated will definitely not be worth mentioning.

 So and so.

 In the winter of the 4476th year of the Storm Calendar, on the days when the New Year was approaching, after unanimous discussion and approval by the Star Council.

 Duke is ready to take action and bombard the abyss ring structure.

Rather than break it, at least pick out a small piece and bring it back to study it carefully.

The optical video has always been maintained, which is equivalent to live broadcasting the entire bombardment sampling experiment in the Abyss Ship Operations Center.

Hum buzz…

At the front end of the wall-breaking ship, the energy cannon began to brew. When the brewing reached its limit, accompanied by a powerful kinetic energy that was enough to evaporate the sea water to form a vacuum, the energy cannon bombarded the ring structure at the bottom of the abyss, directly bombarding the large ring structure into colorful colors.

 Hite waiting for the colorful energy to dissipate, the ring structure remains intact.

 “This…” Duke frowned.

 At the Abyss Ship Operations Center, communications were temporarily interrupted due to the bombardment of energy cannons, but they were quickly restored.

Seeing the intact abyss ring structure, the stars sighed one after another: "Can't the wall-breaking ship be broken? Is this ring structure really indestructible?"

"It's a pity that I can't get down, otherwise I will take out the Destruction Dragon Spear and poke a hole in it!" Dunn Dragon Lance was also in the operation center. After seeing the result, he sighed greatly. His Destruction Dragon Spear It was recently upgraded to a super second-ring artifact.

Full of sharp power, it can be said to be indestructible.

"Your Destruction Dragon Spear is nothing. My Ultimate Poison Dragon Diamond is the sharpest artifact!" Another veteran star said with a somewhat lame Tawen. He was from the Sea Soul Empire in the past. Stars, the most confident are their own artifacts.

"fart!"

 “Compare?”

“Let’s compete!” Dunn Dragoon immediately walked out of the operations center with his opponent, preparing to compete in person to see whose artifact was sharper.

“You’re really old enough to live like a dog.” Celsus snorted coldly when he saw this.

Then he asked Duke: "If it really can't be broken, just return home first, and wait until a more powerful abyssal ship is developed, and then try to break the abyss ring structure."

 “No need.” Duke’s voice came from the optical video.

 Then, he waved slightly, and in the hand wrapped with energy, there was an unpretentious Desert Eagle pistol.

 Those who are familiar with Duke know that this is another artifact of Duke. A very special artifact, an artifact that had grown up with Duke all the way. Under the threat of gunpoint, even Huiyue Arcane Instructor did not dare to breathe.

 Duke can have the authority he has today.

In addition to his cultivation reaching the ceiling, his reputation is astonishing throughout the ages, and his biggest reliance is this mediocre artifact.

 The next second.

In the undersea abyss in front of the wall-breaking ship, densely packed desert eagles appeared. There were so many that it was impossible to capture them all in the video.

“A gun can kill me, so many of them...” Some of the stars who had been shot by Duke with a Desert Eagle looked at the big screen of the optical video with lingering fear.

 In the original war for unification, some countries resisted stubbornly.

Duke held the Desert Eagle, but he actually shot and killed the stubborn stars. Even one of the Huiyue Arcane Masters was taken away by a wave if he hadn't surrendered earlier.

At the Abyss Ship Operations Center, everyone held their breath and stared at the big screen carefully, fearing that any details would be missed.

Millions of miles away in the abyss of the sea, Duke was actually very relaxed. He had strong confidence in his Desert Eagle.

If even the Desert Eagle cannot penetrate the abyss ring structure, there is a high probability that we will not study it in the future and just treat it as indestructible.

Huh.

 After adjusting his breathing, Duke pulled the trigger directly.

In an instant, all the Desert Eagles simultaneously copied the Desert Eagle in Duke's hand, and the triggers were pulled together. Then, at the same time and at the same speed, the same terminal bullet was fired from countless gun muzzles in a way that transcended time and space. , exploded on the surface of the ring structure.

　　Boom!

 The power of the explosion made a silent impact in the sea water.

Waiting for the trajectory of the spiritual arcana to stabilize, on the big screen in the abyss ship operations center, the abyssal ring structure was safe and sound.

 “Hiss…” There are stars baring their teeth.

“Even the Speaker’s artifact, the Desert Eagle, cannot penetrate the abyss ring structure.”

"such a pity!"

 “Is it really impossible to break it?”

Ignoring the discussion among the stars, Duke piloted the wall-breaking ship to float above the abyssal ring structure. The ship's hull composed of energy extended downwards, and he stretched out his arcane eye to carefully observe the abyssal ring structure. After a moment, a hint of confidence appeared on his lips. smile.

The abyssal ring structure is not intact. In fact, it has been damaged and only restored to its original state in a very short period of time.

so.

 Just increase the firepower.

On the big screen of the optical video, everyone in the Abyss Ship Operations Center noticed that Duke had slowly driven the wall-breaking ship to the surface, leaving sufficient shooting distance.

 Also leave space to stabilize the arcane trajectory.

Then Duke reached out and pulled the trigger, and it stopped loosening. Countless Desert Eagles also pulled the trigger.

In an instant, bullets were flying all over the screen, and countless explosions exploded on the abyssal ring structure. The seawater was continuously impacted by the explosion shock wave to create bubbles. More and more bubbles gathered, and a vacuum environment was created, making the explosion fireworks even more intense. Brilliant.

"ah…"

 “The Speaker has unleashed his strongest attack!”

 “This is the Desert Eagle!”

Shutters of exclamation arose one after another in the Abyss Ship Operations Center, but soon everyone was shocked by the continuous attack scenes and stared at the big screen quietly.

 Until Duke finished shooting a round of bullet chains, he replaced the bullet chain with a new one in a very short time and started a new round of salvo fire.

ten minutes.

 The bombardment lasted ten minutes.

Duke suddenly stopped pulling the trigger, and instead drove the wall-breaking ship directly through the vacuum area and landed on top of the abyss ring structure.

The surrounding arcane tracks were in chaos, and the communication screen in the Abyss Ship Operations Center was disconnected.

Duke could clearly see that the surface of the abyssal ring structure was penetrated. Judging from the cracks, the abyssal ring structure had no thickness at all, just a shell as thin as paper. And inside the shell, there is endless darkness.

 The light emitted from the hull of the broken ship simply cannot illuminate the darkness beneath the crack.

at this time.

Several black shadows suddenly came out of the cracks. Duke made a casual move, and the hull of the wall-breaking ship stretched out an energy arm and grabbed the black shadows.

Holding it in your hand, it instantly dissipated into a black mist.

"The Sinking Demon? No, it's not the Sinking Demon, it's the decayed spirituality!" Duke waved his arms quickly, and the wall-breaker transformed into a star mecha. He also stretched out countless arms to catch all the black shadows pouring out from the cracks. , crushed into black mist and dissipated.

 This action lasted for several seconds.

The paper-thin abyss ring structure has been quickly closed, leaving only a few cracks that are being repaired, and the black shadows that came out were all caught by Duke one by one, but the samples could not be saved. These decayed spirits were destroyed by the wall-breaking ship. The energy evaporates directly.

But all of this was completely recorded by Xiao Yi and the Eye of the Artifact.

 The communication was restored, and Thersus' voice sounded: "Duke, what have you discovered?"

"Look here." Duke pointed to the crack that was being repaired. "The abyssal ring structure is a barrier in our world. And just now, as Andre Evening Primrose said, I opened this door to the coronal sun. The door to the chapter is open.”

"What!"

"It's just a pity." Duke shook his head, "This road to the Crown of the Sun Chapter is a dead end, leading to decay rather than immortality."

 “I can’t understand.”

"I will send back a video for you to perceive carefully." Duke transmitted the situation just now through the arrow of secret message.

 He himself was driving the wall-breaking ship, suspended above the repaired abyss ring structure, silently meditating.

 The scene just now had a huge impact on him.

The endless darkness in the piercing cracks makes people shudder. What kind of past can brew such a thick decay.

"No wonder Goddess Nyx said that this is a corrupt world... All the prosperity of the Wild Continent is based on huge decay... If one day the abyss ring structure can no longer support it, will decay swallow everything up?"

 Duke shook his head vigorously.

He didn’t want to think too deeply about this aspect, but he couldn’t stop thinking: “Under the earth star, there is decayed spirituality. If this is really the ring of the gods, does it mean that the gods have been… the gods have become slaves of the spirit?”

Shaking his head, he thought again: "If this is not the ring of gods, but the evolution of the rules of the world, then where does the corrupt spirituality come from?"

Duke can't explain it.

 But he knew that he could no longer bombard the abyssal ring structure. If the abyssal ring structure was really broken, it would cause irreparable damage.

Then the decayed spirituality will instantly engulf the entire wild continent, swallowing up the now flourishing spiritual arcane system.

 “Hoo!”

Duke put away his reverie and tried to cheer up his mood: "The exploration of the structure of the abyss ring will stop here. Next, we should start from the Wall of Sighs and the Gangfeng Layer to find the mystery of the existence of the world, and... impact the 9th ring sun. !”

He originally thought that the decaying world reminded by the goddess Nyx was because of the evil gods that would destroy the world.

 Now it seems that this is not the case.

 There is an urgent need to improve one's strength. Only when one is strong can one understand deeper secrets, and have the strength to take the goddess Nyx away before the world decays, and to take one's relatives to escape disasters.

 “Xiaoyi, we are going back!”

The wall-breaking ship slowly surfaced and sailed away from the abyss ring structure.

As the light of energy recedes, the abyssal ring structure disappears into the darkness and can no longer be seen. Only this underwater abyss spanning 130,000 kilometers seems to tear a hole in the world, exposing all the dark sides.

 It makes people fearful and confusing.
