A huge bone knife descended from the sky and cleaved directly into the thick main shaft.
The bone knife summoned by Noah was not much smaller than the main shaft. It cleaved into the main shaft like a wood-chopping knife, penetrating deep into the wood and reaching the very center.
The main shaft trembled as it rotated, but Noah was horrified to discover that the main shaft still did not stop rotating. As the bone blade was cleaved open bit by bit, the other side was constantly repairing itself. The entire main shaft thus held the bone blade and slowly began to rotate.
After a brief moment of shock, the dark serpent-men recovered and continued their assault on the Heavenly Annihilation Formation, paying no heed to the fact that the main axis had been severely damaged.
Noah was stunned. The bone knife didn't move, so he used a huge amount of mana to summon another bone knife and slashed down at the main axis once again.
The two bone knives were deeply embedded in it, and under the force of the force, they directly severed the main shaft. A thick piece of wood fell out from it, but Noah was horrified to find that the main shaft was still rotating without stopping, and without even the slightest deviation. Even though a piece of it was broken in the middle, it was still rotating at a fixed speed, as if it had not been affected at all. In fact, as time went by, it was being slowly repaired by the immortal properties.
"What is this? Constant?" Noah murmured. It is unaffected by loss, nor does it change direction due to immense power; it operates eternally and unchangingly.
So even if the main shaft is cut off, even if it is covered with sharp blades and cannot rotate freely, it will still be unaffected. It has an eternal property to repair itself when it is broken or damaged. It will only rotate at a fixed frequency unless someone changes that frequency.
“Come back! We still need to find a way to regain control, otherwise even if we cut this main axis into pieces, it won’t affect the operation of the rest of it, and it won’t have the slightest effect on him!” Noah said, now that he understood the strange properties of this main axis.
Aside from having real control, no one can manipulate this main axis at this point; even if you burn it to ashes, it won't do any good.
Noah glanced at Fuxi, who was setting up the formation, and Ye Jun, who was maintaining it. He pursed his lips and didn't ask them for help. Instead, he spread his spiritual power, trying to find a way to control the main axis.
"Such a main axis couldn't possibly be controlled by just one person. There must be other backdoors. Dark creatures don't have enough trust in each other!" Noah thought to himself, scanning the main axis with his mental energy, trying to find the possible "backdoors"!
He wasn't simply scanning the main axis with his mental power; he was exploring the unusual energy within it. To control the main axis, there must be an energy connection. This connection was very faint, but he was certain he could sense it.
To this end, he even shut down his own realm of the dead, possessing this main axis in the form of a soul, in an attempt to find the key point within it.
Currently, only he can use this method. Possession is a skill belonging to the undead category, and coupled with the knowledge he has learned on the Primordial Star over the years, he is confident that he can find clues.
“Energy is conserved. If we want to manipulate this main axis in other ways, there must be a connection point of energy. So where exactly is this connection point?” Noah murmured, his soul power roaming through the memories of the entire main axis. A huge energy ribbon spread out and connected to the strongest Dark Executioner.
This should be a standard energy channel, primarily used by the Dark Serpent Clan to control the main axis and adjust the permitted direction of the ghost ship.
However, there is another energy channel next to this one. Its energy is not visible and is easily overlooked even in this state, but it is real.
"That's it, this should be it!" Noah awoke from the possession of the main axis's soul and had a target in mind for the direction this energy channel connected to.
It doesn't exist here, or even on this floor. Instead, it extends upwards, clearly in the hands of a "big shot" among the creatures of darkness. This "big shot" would naturally not stay in such a control room, but would only rest in the "sea view room" above.
"His strength certainly doesn't exceed the seventh rank, and there aren't many people protecting him. But we don't know where he is, or how many demigods are around. It's impossible for me to go there alone! By then, it will be too late," Noah thought to himself.
Even though Fuxi's second great formation was raised, giving Ye Jun and the others a great deal of breathing room, the energy crystals they carried were limited. Once these energy crystals were exhausted, the two formations would collapse on their own.
In contrast, Noah was more inclined to believe that the direction corresponding to the first energy channel was the dark serpent people they were fighting. Of course, it did not point to any one person, but to an entire serpent people clan.
However, Ye Jun and his group do not need to kill all the dark serpents below. The energy channel is actually aimed at those few high-level dark serpents. As long as they can kill them, they can regain most of the control over the main axis. This authority is enough for them to control the operation of the main axis.
"We have to kill all the demigod-level Dark Serpent People. Only in this way can we ensure that we have enough authority to control it. This main axis has a constant effect, and it cannot be cut off or its rotation changed in any other way!" Noah reappeared in front of everyone after exiting the possessed state and shouted loudly to Ye Jun and the others inside.
His realm of the dead was already closed, and the enormous drain on his magic power was giving him a splitting headache. If he collapsed now, he would truly be doomed to eternal slumber once more.
"Troublesome matter!" Ye Jun frowned, though he had no intention of backing down. As the blazing sun, he was obligated to illuminate the world for everyone.
"Alright! At the current rate, this second formation can barely last for half an hour before it runs out of energy and is broken. You can rest for now!" Finally, Fuxi's voice rang in everyone's ears. Ye Jun and the other two immediately sat down on the ground. In just a short while, their energy had been mostly depleted.
However, none of the three rested for long. After catching their breath, they stood up again and turned their gaze to the dark snake-man in front of them.
