Chapter 728: Battlefield 669 I_2

Qing Ming flew while giving an explanation on the side.

After a short while, the two men came to a sudden stop as darkness rapidly dissipated, withdrawing from the shrinking dimension.

Once Li Chengyi’s vision cleared, they were already standing inside a large temple constructed of pitch-black boulders.

In the center of the hall, a black vortex more than ten meters high was suspended in the air.

At that moment, a vast amount of rainbow light continued to enter and exit the vortex, obviously travelers like themselves using teleportation.

"This is the place. Be mindful to constrain your consciousness, do not release it at will. We need to cross the Cyclical Seal area from this distance; if it disperses, it may instantly tear apart your extended consciousness."

"Understood," Li Chengyi nodded.

Qing Ming nodded, pressed his shoulder, and the two of them transformed into a streak of black light, rushing into the vortex.

The sensation of long-distance teleportation is hard to describe.

At least for Li Chengyi, it felt like entering a giant bottle filled with slime.

He could feel the bottle being violently shaken and squeezed, but due to the fluid properties of the slime, he wasn’t much affected by the force.

One second, or maybe even faster.

The surrounding slime receded rapidly. All around was open space, suddenly clear and bright.

A vast silver-white wall came into Li Chengyi’s view.

That wall occupied his entire field of vision.

Upward, it was boundless. Downward, it was the same. To the left and right as well.

In the Black Sea Void several thousand kilometers away from them, this silver-white wall stood like a colossal boundary line that couldn’t be surpassed, blocking Li Chengyi and Qing Ming on this side.

The wall had row upon row of vertical ridges, like the ghastly gray-white patterns of a spine.

On the patterns, dense and numerous worm-like creatures, resembling centipedes in gray, sprouted out.

These creatures let out strange hisses while waving their thousands of long, scythe-like arms, directing the flying vehicles coming and going around them, diverting them to different entrances in the wall.

The bodies of these creatures were thousands of kilometers long, and they were cloaked in fitted black robes, with most of their thousands of arms rolling up the sleeves.

Their heads, shaped like black mangoes, were covered with dense, bubble-like crimson eyes.

Any flying vehicle that dared to sneak in or out of the wall could not escape their scrutiny.

"Those are members of the Thousand Eyes Worm Clan. Their vision can penetrate through most shielding materials; even Saints cannot block their penetrating gaze. Pay attention, those with ’Inspection’ written on their robes are high-ranking Thousand Eyes Worms," Qing Ming, while flying closer to the wall with Li Chengyi, explained through telepathic communication.

"What about high-ranking Thousand Eyes Worms?" Li Chengyi was on the battlefield for the first time and felt somewhat nervous.

This was not an ordinary battlefield, but a real one belonging to the Imprint level, Divine Fire, Saints, dimensions, and even Omniscient beings. The danger level was said to be extremely high.

"High-ranking Thousand Eyes Worms are Saints. Their clan actually belongs to the World Worm clan; born with embryos that parasitize deep within the Blind Spot World, they subsist by absorbing the core heat of the Blind Spot for survival, an apocalyptic race whose temperament is mostly extremely irritable and volatile," Qing Ming said succinctly.

"So you’re saying, don’t provoke them, right?" Li Chengyi understood.

"That’s right, they belong to the same clan as Ancestor Tianhong. Unless necessary, do not provoke them. In any case, as long as you follow the rules, they won’t trouble you for no reason," Qing Ming nodded.

"Understood," Li Chengyi nodded.

He stopped talking and, as he followed Qing Ming flying closer, his gaze continuously swept over the massive wall.

"What is this wall?"

"It’s Silver City. The Eternal Causal Barriers constructed by our master," Qing Ming explained.

"What do you mean?" Li Chengyi did not understand. What did Eternal Causal Barriers mean?

"Just as the name implies, it’s the wall that our esteemed elder exerted great effort to construct, preventing all enemies beyond this wall from crossing over. They must first break down this wall in order to invade the domain of Tian Ju Pavilion. This is the concept of causality."

Qing Ming looked at Li Chengyi, who still seemed somewhat perplexed, paused for a moment, and continued to explain.

"To put it more simply, it’s because of this wall that there is an inside and an outside, a division between safety and danger.

Therefore, any group outside, even if they think of other ways to bypass the wall, won’t be able to harm or attack anything on this side, because they haven’t shattered the Eternal Causal Barriers. Without cause, there can be no effect. Even if you pass the wall, you can’t create a predetermined fact on this side. Do you understand now?"

Hiss.

Li Chengyi suddenly understood completely.

Exaggerated.

This method, this spell.

"Does that mean as long as we’re within this wall, we’re safe?" he asked.

"Yes, this is the concept field established by our master here, but it has a range. The specific range is centered on the Silver City wall, extending to all regions within one light year."

Li Chengyi was speechless.

Was this the method of an Omniscient being?

For the first time, he felt that all his past skirmishes were truly like infantile brawls, too trivial...

He raised his head, gazing at the white silver wall that grew closer and closer.

As the distance decreased, he could increasingly see the wall’s surface covered with countless ancient scars.

With the wall itself already being so astounding, what kind of forces, what level of power, must it take to leave scars upon it?

He could not imagine...

The black lights they had transformed into joined one of the colorful streams entering the city wall, along with other flying devices, and quickly flew into the wall.

Inside the huge silver-white tunnel, various flying devices began to slow down, initiating scanning inspections with beams of light.

The cultivators standing on Flying Swords took the opportunity to take out food and drink to replenish their strength.

The mages riding Magic Pets seized the time to sit cross-legged in meditation, adjusting their body and mind.

The heavy-armored giant mechs remained still, drifting forward, waiting for inspection.

There were also oddly shaped and twisted creatures, noisy and bustling as if they were communicating, resembling a big group of tourists, sending out shockwaves with their loud exclamations as if astounded by everything.

"Can’t you keep quiet on the battlefield? Stop the ruckus, you bumpkins from the countryside!"

A golden-armored woman standing on a streamlined fish-shaped golden sailboat couldn’t help but scold loudly.

"Who are you calling a bumpkin?!"

One of the strange creatures, a mass of black mud with bat-like wings, grew a mouth and retorted loudly.

"I’m talking about you, what’s the matter? A bumpkin is a bumpkin. Entering the city without ever seeing the world, just keep it to yourself!" the golden-armored woman said disdainfully.

"You think you’re the only one who’s been to the city? With so many people around saying nothing, who do you think you are, being so arrogant?" Another creature with nine heads sprouting from a zebra’s body flew out, showing its teeth and snarling.

"What’s the matter, think there’s strength in numbers? Let’s have a one-on-one fight outside in a bit!" the golden-armored woman challenged directly.

"Come on then! If it’s a one-on-one fight, let’s do this!! Everyone, let’s have a one-on-one fight with her!" The group of creatures instantly merged into a mass, forming a distorted ball bristling with countless chaotic eyes.

Countless overlapping sound waves emanated from inside the ball.
