Chapter 434: When there is danger, Master is most...
Yu Sheng did not see clearly how the evil cultivator in black who had launched the final sneak attack died - by the time he reacted, the opponent had been evenly distributed across the battlefield.
The black-robed monks who were struggling to hold up their protective magic arrays just a moment ago and had already reached the end of their strength were affected by the residual power of the explosion. As their magic arrays were broken one by one and their protective magic weapons were destroyed, they were all killed - the best ones had their heads torn apart, and the worst ones had their heads torn into pieces...
Yuan Hao raised his hand and the "Haotian Demon-Suppressing Ruler" that he had just thrown out flew out from the impact crater on the surface and returned to the large formation of civil engineering and building materials circling behind him. Then he turned around and greeted Yu Sheng and his party happily: "I was just worrying about how to contact you. Fortunately, everyone is fine... Ah, Fellow Daoist Zheng is here too, I'm relieved. Have you seen the reminder I left on the window?"
"It was only after seeing that hint that we realized the flaw in our cognitive barrier, and then we found Zheng Zhi," Yu Sheng sat on the back of the nine-tailed fox and came to Yuan Hao Zhenren. As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously swept across the devastated battlefield on the ground, and then he looked up at the old general, "By the way, why are you here? Do you know where Xuan Che went?"
"Xuan Che is fine. I have already met him outside the city. I sent him to the north to investigate the situation," Yuan Hao replied, and then explained his experience. "I originally came out to find Fellow Daoist Zheng, but the 'knowledge barrier' that enveloped Mo City was too difficult to deal with. I couldn't find any clues anywhere. But when I was investigating, I noticed a few sneaky figures - following behind them, I left the city in a daze, and found Xuan Che wandering around outside the city in a daze."
He paused, looked up at a certain direction in the distance, and continued, "As you can see, the outside of the city has completely changed. If this is also the 'knowledge barrier', then this barrier is really amazing... Those sneaky figures disappeared after entering this 'forest'. Xuan Che and I went to investigate separately, but we saw people coming in and out here. I wanted to observe secretly, but I didn't expect that there were several masters among those black-clothed evil cultivators, and their whereabouts were revealed without noticing."
As the old general spoke, he wiped his sweat and said with emotion: "These evil cultivators are indeed quite capable. Their fancy tricks scared me into a cold sweat. Fortunately, I was slightly better than them..."
Yu Sheng was listening nearby, sweating more than Yuan Hao. With a twitching eye, he glanced at the scene on the ground that looked like it had been bombed by a meteorite, and thought to himself that he probably would never have thought that "a few tricks better" could be used in this scene...
While he was sighing at the old commander's fighting power, Yuan Hao Zhenren seemed to suddenly remember something and looked up in the direction of Mocheng with concern: "You came from Mocheng - what's the situation in that city now?"
Yu Sheng coughed twice and explained, "Two things. First, it's not accurate that you said that the 'perception barrier' covered Mocheng. The accurate situation is that this cognitive barrier has covered the entire planet. The entire Shuji has been affected by the 'Star Derivative Body'. The 'perception barrier' based on the collective cognition of billions of people has even produced the effect of reconstructing reality. The 'jungle' outside the city that you see is actually the true appearance of this planet.
"Second, the 'barrier of knowledge' in Mo City has been removed. We have torn a hole in this 'barrier' covering the entire planet."
Yuan Hao Zhenren gradually showed shock from the first sentence. When he heard that Mo Cheng's cognitive barrier had been lifted, the old man could not help but blurt out: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me think about it... This situation is a little beyond my expectations. What is a stellar body? What is the 'reality reconstruction' covering the entire planet?"
"Simply put, the 'Star Derivative' is the culprit that caused Shuji's current appearance..."
Yu Sheng did not keep anyone in suspense. He immediately told the old commander in front of him the information he had currently as concisely as possible. At the same time, his eyes were also observing the distance.
Everywhere you look, almost every inch of land is covered with those strange gray-white crystals. The plant-like structure formed by the crystal material seems to be "mimicking" the original ecological environment of the planet. The mountains in the distance shrouded in misty rain seem to have fewer crystals, but there are also suspicious huge shadows covering the mountains. I don't know if it is the work of "Yun Qingzi".
Zhenren Yuanhao listened in shock to the truth buried on this planet.
"According to the current information, the earliest 'parasitic' activity of the Derivative Star Body in Shuji can be traced back to five or six hundred years ago... At that time, it had already escaped from Weishu-3 and landed here with a copy of Yun Qingzi under its control. At that time, this place was still a planet rich in minerals," Yu Sheng retracted his gaze into the distance and sighed softly, "After another three or four hundred years of latent transformation, after the Derivative Star Body entered the 'epigenesis' stage, the mineral veins on this planet began to dry up rapidly... But both the locals on this planet and the subsequent investigators just regarded this as 'everything is normal'."
"So, the real body of that thing is now hidden underground?" Yuan Hao frowned, and his eyes looked particularly solemn when he looked at the earth. "...There is indeed a layer of structure underneath that can block the prying of spiritual consciousness. With my cultivation level, I can only see large patches of shadows in the shallow layer of soil."
"So we are looking for an entrance," Yu Sheng nodded. "Just now when Zheng Zhi came over, he said he saw a crack here, but for some reason, the crack disappeared as soon as we approached it."
"The rift has disappeared?" Yuan Hao frowned, "But those evil cultivators in black did come in and out of this place just now..."
"That means the 'Star Derivative Body' can freely control the 'channel' leading to its core area. It may be a structure like a portal," Yu Sheng thought thoughtfully. "He obviously realized that this side has been exposed, so he threw out a group of minions to block the way and then closed this door."
Erin listened and immediately looked up: "Portal? Is this your specialty?"
"That requires being able to find the opening location of the channel in advance," Yu Sheng shook his head, "Remember the crack we found in the suburban refining tower? After it was closed, we could never find it again - the channels opened by the astral bodies should all be similar. Unless we can 'block' the channel when it opens, it will disappear in the blink of an eye."
The little doll opened her mouth as if she wanted to curse, but Yu Sheng covered her mouth in advance.
Just when Irene began to kick and struggle like an angry cat to break free from Yu Sheng's arms, Master Yuan Hao suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction, his expression slightly changed.
Yu Sheng didn't care about the kicking puppet in his arms. "What's wrong?"
"The life-saving magic weapon I left for Xuan Che has been activated!" Master Yuan Hao spoke quickly, and at the same time raised his hand and pointed to the distance, "Over here - let's go quickly!"
Before he finished his words, the old handsome man had transformed into a flash of lightning, surrounded by hundreds of magical lights, and rushed out in an instant.
When Yu Sheng and the others saw this situation, they didn't bother to ask any further questions. Suddenly, nine flaming tails lit up behind Hu Li and he immediately chased after him.
The group quickly crossed the vast crystal jungle, and halfway through, they saw dazzling flashes of light that occasionally appeared in the distant sky.
Thunder gathered in the rain clouds, and the lightning was pulled by an invisible force, continuously falling from the sky. The scene seemed somewhat familiar.
The nine-tailed silver fox flew across the sky and crossed the border of the crystal jungle, and a desolate wilderness came into everyone's sight.
This wilderness is not covered with endless crystalline material like other places. Only scattered crystal clusters can be seen in certain areas. Some have been abandoned for a long time, and some ancient ruins, equipment and pipelines that may even be left over from the pioneering era stand among the rugged rocks. Most of them have been weathered beyond recognition.
Yu Sheng and his party descended from the clouds. From a distance, they saw a translucent light curtain standing between the weathered boulders. Dozens of black-robed monks and members of the monastic order wearing foreign clothes were surrounding the light curtain, and standing in the center of the light curtain was Xuan Che.
It looked like he couldn't hold on for much longer - even with a protective light barrier surrounding him, his face looked terrible, and he was clearly very exhausted.
When Yuan Hao Zhenren saw this scene in the air, he became anxious instantly. Before Sheng could say anything, he had already activated the civil engineering and building materials formation behind him. For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, the wind and rain were upside down, and countless mists of spiritual light resonated and surged out from his countless magic weapons in the blink of an eye. Then the old general raised his hand and pointed at the light curtain: "Don't hurt my nephew!"
Xuan Che, who was struggling to hold on in the middle of the light curtain, heard the noise coming from the air. The moment he looked up, his face was filled with surprise, but the next second he saw a flood of bricks coming towards him - each brick had an attack power of over a trillion.
Xuan Che's face turned green on the spot. He only had time to gather all his spiritual power together, and use all his remaining protective spells and treasures to prepare for the "aftermath".
Then the mushroom cloud rose.
Dozens of black-clad evil cultivators and hermits who were besieging the area had no time to react and were evenly scattered across the wilderness in the rising mushroom cloud. The light curtain standing between the boulders flickered violently for a moment in the astonishing aftermath of the explosion, and there was a vague cry of surprise, as if something cool flew out of it.
“Che’er, don’t panic!” Yuan Hao Zhenren in mid-air shouted loudly, and with the power of wind and thunder, he passed through the battlefield where the aftermath was still continuing, and flew straight to the figure that was blown away, “Uncle Master is here to save you!”
