"City of Thorns! Spatial Anchor! Target—Cradle Passage!" Pei Du's icy voice, like a declaration of law, resounded throughout the entire plant mind network of the City of Thorns! He wasn't issuing orders to the city; rather, he was using the authority and coordinates granted by the Source Key to forcibly take over the spatial stability characteristics of the vast life network of the City of Thorns!
Buzz——!!!
The entire City of Thorns erupted in a roar that shook the heavens and earth! All the plant veins that comprised the city—vines, roots, leaves, even every single purifying plant—simultaneously lit up with an unprecedented radiance! No longer emerald green or golden, but a strange radiance that blended the emerald green of life, the pitch black of the end, and the cold, dark blue of the "cradle"!
The vast energy of the city was forcibly extracted and gathered! Following Pei Du's connection to the earth's veins, it madly poured into his body! Then, through his arm pressing on the metal interface, it was injected into the icy column! The lines on the column's surface instantly brightened as bright as daylight! An extremely thick beam of energy, a mixture of three colors, suddenly shot up from the top of the column! It fiercely penetrated the madly twisted spatial structure above the abyss of the Rift City!
Wherever the beam passed, the chaotic spatial turbulence was forcibly smoothed and smoothed! A relatively stable spatial passage, constructed from the energy of the City of Thorns' lifeline, with the order of the end and the cold coordinates of the "Cradle" flowing along its edges, was forcibly opened up within the raging abyss of the Broken City like a miracle! At the other end of the passage, it connected to the escape route leading to the "Cradle" in the fragmented memory of the Source Key!
"Catch her!" Pei Du roared towards the passage! His gravitational field, a fusion of three powers, erupted violently! He flung the rapidly falling Xu Shuangyao like a meteor, fiercely towards the newly opened entrance to the space passage, which was emitting a strange light!
Xu Shuangyao's unconscious body turned into a stream of light and instantly sank into the passage and disappeared!
"Five seconds left!" The countdown to destruction is like the footsteps of death!
Pei Du's molten-gold eyes swept across the dark blue orb below, intensified by the annihilation of the Source Key, and the annihilation bombardment waves descending from the abyss like the Eye of Destruction, locking onto this place! He didn't hesitate at all! His body, covered in dark gold lines, burst into extreme speed, following closely behind Xu Shuangyao, transforming into a dark bolt of lightning, brazenly charging into the escape route forged by the lives of the City of Thorns!
Just as his figure disappeared into the passage!
boom--!!!
The dark blue ball of light formed by the annihilation of the Source Key completely collapsed and exploded! The terrifying annihilation energy mixed with the turbulent flow of space, forming a destructive shock wave that swept across the entire metal platform!
at the same time!
Sizzle——!!!
A terrifying annihilation light column with a diameter of more than a kilometer, which could not be described in color and was purely composed of "nothingness", tore through the atmosphere of Gaia Star. Like an eraser erasing stains with the will of the universe, it slammed into the core coordinates of the abyss of the Rift City with incredible precision!
silent!
No light!
Only absolute erasure!
The Rift City Abyss, along with everything within it—the metal platforms, the spatial distortions, the raging energy currents—the moment it came into contact with the annihilation beam, was like a scorching iron plunged into icy water at absolute zero. It instantly solidified, dimmed, and then completely vanished! Not even a speck of dust remained! In its place, only a terrifying, mirror-smooth crater remained, its edges as smooth as a mirror, its depths unfathomable, and its aura of absolute deathly silence.
The southwest part of the City of Thorns, along with the surface of that area, was completely wiped out!
Inside the cold, silent, light-distorted temporary space channel.
Pei Du's body, covered in dark gold veins, hurtled forward like a cannonball. The tunnel's walls were composed of flowing emerald green vines, covered in pitch-black runes of the Order of the End and cold, dark blue coordinate information flows. These three forces intertwined, maintaining the stability of this fragile passage. Outside the tunnel lay a violent and chaotic spatial turbulence, powerful enough to shatter stars, like a roaring sea of multicolored chaos.
Xu Shuangyao's unconscious body floated not far ahead of Pei Du, like a fallen leaf drifting with the current, pulled forward by the passage's pull. Her face remained pale, the golden flame mark between her brows completely dimmed. Only a faint breath of life proved she was still alive. Her pristine white vine-covered skirt fluttered slightly in the energy flow.
Pei Du's molten-gold pupils were fixed on Xu Shuangyao's figure. His hand, patterned with dark gold, maintained an invisible thread of attraction, ensuring she wouldn't stray from the passage. His own condition was also extremely poor. The forced fusion of the three powers, the opening of the passage, and the onslaught of the Source Key's memories had caused waves of stagnant pain in his End Star Core. The wound on his waist, previously inflicted by the particle blade, split open again, and dark golden blood slowly oozed out.
The Origin Key… G-7… The Origin Key… The name echoed in Pei Du's icy consciousness. Her final look, that resolute entrustment and utter annihilation, etched itself like a brand deep within his soul. She was not an enemy, but the most tragic sacrifice under the cold logic of the "Cradle," the sharpest dagger piercing its heart. The coordinates, the schematics, the passages she provided… were the only path to survival, and the signposts leading to the final battlefield.
"Cradle..." Pei Du silently chanted the name, a cold fire burning in his golden eyes. Deep within that flame, besides the will to destroy, there was also a touch of determination... a shared hatred and resentment, stemming from the endless pain and hatred of the Source Key.
The passageway was trembling violently, the vines at its edges constantly breaking and regenerating, and the dark blue coordinate information stream was flickering. Clearly, this forcibly opened passageway was unstable and could collapse at any moment. We must reach the exit as soon as possible!
I don’t know how long it took, maybe a moment, maybe eternity.
