Chapter 596: The Power of the Void Anchor

"Be steady..." Li Ming did not take it lightly.

At present, all these metal materials are under strict guard. The storage devices are not only storage tables, but also defensive locks.

Li Ming first carefully controlled them one by one, controlling them from the root, so that he could regulate them with Suzaku.

At the same time, he did not miss any visible defensive measures around him.

"Maybe there is also a weight measuring device of overall nature..." Li Ming tried his best to think if there was anything he had missed. The defense measures in the room had been mostly broken.

But there may be more outside the room. These metal materials are extremely heavy, and if they suddenly disappear, they might be discovered.

However, these were minor problems. He immediately pulled out a mechanical body from the control system, and then smelted the materials, tracing them into metal blocks of similar size and weight.

Put one away and replace it with another.

"In this case, there should be no problem." Li Ming thought again and again, and came to a piece of "Void Forged Steel".

With a slight touch of his palm, he used the [Subspace Folding Ring] to take it in.

The X-level [Subspace Folding Ring] can be put away without touching it as long as it is within a certain range around him.

The touch method is used only to make the replacement more precise.

But at the moment when the piece of void forged steel in front of him was collected, the replacement metal block just fell.

Li Ming's expression suddenly changed drastically, and the originally calm air suddenly began to ripple like water waves.

Silver light as thin as hair wove into a spider web in the void, instantly crushing the nearby instruments and equipment into powder, with the debris suspended in a spiral of gray mist.

Where does the spatial fluctuation come from?

Li Ming's heart was shocked. This was definitely not the spatial fluctuation left behind when he put away the metal material.

Is this... some kind of detection measure, a space blockade?

No, I didn't sense any spatial blockade.

Li Ming's thoughts raced like lightning. Taking anything out of the control system would not cause any spatial fluctuations.

However, the control ability of the [Subspace Folding Ring] and the folding space that comes with it do not have this kind of power and will still produce space fluctuations.

But he had felt it in detail and found that there were no monitoring measures in the space, and this tiny spatial fluctuation could not even spread outside the room. How could it be discovered so quickly?

The fluctuations before my eyes became more and more violent, as if transparent glass was cracked by invisible fingers.

Cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck. In the gap that gradually opened up in the center of the ripples, in the darkness that was no bigger than a fingernail, an extremely dangerous intuition came over him. This thing could really pose a threat to him.

And it is an extremely deadly threat.

The entire room seemed to have become the throat of some giant beast, and the increasingly widening spatial rift seemed to be ready to devour anyone it chose.

It's the Void Anchor!

Li Ming's pupils contracted, and he instantly realized that the only thing with such terrifying power and extremely silent monitoring could be the Titan relic.

This thing's capabilities are far greater than I imagined.

He had never seen the power of the Titan Relic in its complete state, and this time it taught him a lesson.

However, the moment Li Ming realized something was wrong, he wanted to put all the metal materials in front of him into the folding space.

However, two different spatial fluctuations collided in the void before his eyes, and the sound of thousands of steel needles scraping against glass could be faintly heard. The air at the edge of the crack disappeared as if being gnawed, leaving behind absolute nothingness.

He felt a resistance.

The space blockade has arrived, and its specifications are higher than the X-level [Subspace Folding Ring].

But he reacted quickly, expanding the time distortion force field to cover the entire room and increasing the flow rate difference to the maximum.

As expected, the time distortion field of the Star of Eternal Silence was used to change the flow of time, causing the consistency of space and time to be destroyed.

The fluctuations in the void began to tremble, and the silver spider web collapsed, shaking the current space blockade.

The spatial fluctuations swept through, and he had already collected all the metal materials in front of him into the folded space.

The blazing energy aura was undisguised. The moment the metal wall was torn apart, a stream of black and red light rushed out like a ferocious beast breaking free from its chains.

Li Ming's afterimage still remained in the same place, but his real body had smashed the wall. The flying metal fragments melted into golden-red beads in mid-air, exploding into sparks.

boom!

The ground of the interstellar fortress suddenly exploded, and a red-black beam of light shot towards the star gate passage not far away like a sharp sword.

In this highly guarded area, the sudden incident immediately triggered the highest level of alarm.

Red warning lights were on in all warships, fortresses, and outposts.

But Li Ming has already converted all of his own blessings into speed, and his body is also shrouded in a time distortion force field, making him incredibly fast.

According to his estimation, he would be able to enter the star gate passage in less than a second.

However, an extremely strange phenomenon occurred before my eyes.

The space around seemed to stretch infinitely, every inch of space was expanding, and the scene of the warships in the distance was stretched into long strips, pulling out dark golden light streams.

He felt like he was on a runway with no end. No matter how fast he ran, the star gate in front of him was always far away from him.

"Endless Corridor..." Li Ming's heart sank. This was an advanced application of space, where a short distance was infinitely stretched.

An ordinary endless corridor would definitely not be able to trap him from escaping at such a speed.

But now it was the Void Anchor who took action, and no matter how fast he was, he could not escape.

However, his time distortion force field cannot cover such a large area to provide resistance.

"Time distortion field, not many people have this ability..."

The mental fluctuations came from somewhere, carrying a sense of surprise and suppressed excitement.

"No matter who you are, since you offered to come in, I won't be polite."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ming suddenly felt that he was trapped in some kind of gelatinous space structure. Every time he moved forward a little bit, he would leave behind a kilometer-long amber afterimage.

The surrounding space began to split into nested Möbius strips, with all kinds of bizarre scenes emerging in them and beginning to collapse towards the center.

A feeling of stagnation, like being trapped in a swamp, became increasingly stronger, and the spatial barrier reinforced by the Void Anchor took on an icy blue color.

"He wants to exile me..." Li Ming realized that he was about to face the Void Anchor's most powerful single-target attack.

Once it takes shape, he's probably going to be in trouble.

But the Void Anchor in front of him should also be in a damaged state, so it cannot be condensed directly at the first time, and it takes time.

"There are two options. Either we forcibly break it before it forms, or we descend upon the Holy Castle and seek the Overseer's help..."

While Li Ming was thinking, a purple short-handled hammer appeared in his hand.

[Giant God's Strike] was launched fiercely, and a force that Li Ming should not be able to withstand flowed through his fragile body.

The Infinite Hammer trembled slightly, and then emitted an increasingly dazzling light. Terrifying power gathered on it, and every tremor formed ripples like drumbeats.

With Li Ming's current energy level and all the blessings, this attack has already reached a 4000X explosion, and the target is the void in front of him.

"Are you Qinglong?" The other party was extremely surprised. The moment the iconic hammer appeared, he understood the other party's identity.

They never expected that the guy they were planning to deal with would suddenly appear here.

"Give it to me, broken!"

The hammer light tore out a broken grating and smashed down fiercely.

boom!

The whole world seemed to have been muted, and the spatial barriers that were converging towards the center were frozen.

Then, there was a roar of shattering glass like a tsunami.

The ice-blue sky, which looked like countless prisms, was now bursting with spider-web-like black marks.

The shock wave caused by the hammer strike materialized into a giant ring of purple light, and all the matter within the ring began to disintegrate in a reverse manner. The final collapse of the space blockade from the Void Anchor was like a glacier falling into a sea of ​​fire.

The aftermath, like a raging wave, swept across, shattering the entire area. A void storm roared out, raging in all directions.

In the void, a burly middle-aged man's eyes were filled with horror, holding a black anchor covered in cracks in his hand. "It was...destroyed?"

Even though the exile of the Void Anchor has not yet been fully formed, no one has ever escaped from this process.

The scene before him really shook his cognition, and a few words emerged in his mind - worthy of being Qinglong.

However, after a brief moment of shock, he quickly adjusted his mind and prepared to continue mobilizing the Void Anchor, intending to blockade it again.

After all, this is just a blockade. He wants to see how many times Qinglong can resist.

However, the scene that happened at the moment made him somewhat surprised and uncertain.

I saw the figure in the void, and his aura was in an extremely weak state, even to the point of being barely breathing.

The next moment, cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the body, and then it suddenly collapsed, light overflowed, and the breath of life completely dissipated.

"Dead, dead?"

He was stunned, his brain was slow to react, and he didn't react at all.

Qinglong, just died like that?

An incredible emotion surged in my heart.

But it was only in a split second, the light from the body's explosion rolled back and gathered together, the blazing aura surged...

No, why does it feel so weak?

The series of strange things happening right now were beyond his comprehension, and it was even more difficult for him to react immediately.

In this moment of distraction, the red and black light was not idle, and had already been drawn into the star gate passage that was about to be closed.

"Not good!" His face changed drastically, and his figure flashed in front of the star gate, but he stopped abruptly and did not chase in.

Qinglong escaped into the star gate channel, and in it, every tiny movement corresponded to an incalculable distance in the main universe.

The other party can break through the star gate channel at any time and fall into the main universe, making it impossible to track them.

Chasing after him blindly would do him no good.

As the holder of the Federation's Titan Relic, his primary goal is to protect the Void Anchor in his hand and there cannot be any accidents.

The confrontation between the two did not even last more than five seconds.

The energy aftermath generated had just reached the surrounding battleships and fortresses, setting off a chain explosion with unknown boundaries, and flames formed a huge curtain around them.

His expression was grim, but he just stretched out his hand lightly, and the Void Anchor vibrated, sweeping away the spatial fluctuations, repairing the damage just caused and sweeping away the energy aftermath.

At this moment, the alarm in the entire area had only sounded for the third time.

Large groups of evolved forms flew out from outposts in all directions, looking around vigilantly, confused and at a loss.

"Someone attacked?"

Costat and others arrived just late, their faces solemn and brows furrowed as they looked at the wreckage of the warships around them.

Although the energy aftermath only raged for a moment, the damage it caused was difficult to estimate. At least more than 100,000 warships were shattered.

"Mr. Holmes..." Hines came forward and greeted him. Given his personality, he didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of this person.

The opponent is not only the user of the Void Anchor, but also second only to Alves in strength, and has a special status.

He asked cautiously, "What happened? Was someone attacked?"

Holmes's cheeks were like weathered rocks, firm and hard, with messy white stubble on his chin.

His expression was still very ugly as he spat out two words: "Qinglong."

"Is it Qinglong?" Schmidt was distracted, and Kostat's face changed slightly.

Hines' pupils shrank as he angrily asked, "He actually attacked here? Why didn't you stop him from staying here?"

He questioned subconsciously, and then said to himself that it was not good. He felt cold all over, and Holmes had already glanced at him coldly.

His expression changed, and he hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand me, I just..."

"It's good that we can repel him," Costat said, trying to smooth things over. "He would test this place, which was within our expectations. Thanks to Mr. Holmes."

"The current losses are not that great, just a few warships."

When this matter was mentioned, Holmes' face darkened. He did not respond and looked in another direction.

Seeing Holmes' reaction, Costat felt uneasy. He subconsciously followed the other person's gaze and his breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

In that area, there was an interstellar fortress under heavy defense, but a hole was blown in its surface.

"That's... the central warehouse. All the materials are stored in it." Schmidt almost lost his composure and said in disbelief, "He... he... he didn't come from outside to kill me?"

What just happened was short and quick, and no one understood what was going on.

"He fought his way out from the inside," Holmes finally spoke in a dull voice. "I also discovered strange spatial fluctuations inside through the Void Anchor."

"Hurry, hurry, contact Knox and ask him to block the star gate!" Hines breathed rapidly, and seemed to have guessed what had happened.

"Too late." Holmes shook his head, but did not stop Hines.

Several people came to the warehouse with uneasy mood. When they went in, their hearts, which were already half disappointed, were completely chilled.

They stood in the metal material storage room. Schmidt's face was pale, as if he had fallen into an icy cellar. "It's empty! This... this is the material that cost so much to transport, and he just cleared it out like that!"

The value of these materials themselves is one aspect, and the other is the need to transport these materials in a short period of time.

The manpower and material resources they mobilized are all invisible costs.

Hines' pupils were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a low roar from his throat: "How on earth did he sneak in!"

Costat remained silent, and his reaction was not as intense as the other two.

After all, these materials did not come from the empire.

He quietly walked out of the room, looked around, and then returned to soothe them, "Please remain calm. There's no loss of other materials."

This news did not appease the two.

"Keep calm?" Hines looked at him coldly.

In his opinion, Costat is now talking without any concern.
