Chapter 914: Chapter 472: The Arsenal of Weapons So Hard It’s Outrageous

All around was silent, and only the sound behind echoed, making everyone realize that the noise came from the huge crystal-like structure behind them.

Cracks like spider webs appeared in the center and quickly spread to both sides, further destabilizing an already precarious structure, now collapsing rapidly.

"It’s collapsing?" Reynolds exclaimed in astonishment, "Just because the trial has ended?"

Crack--

From the cracks, dazzling streams of light emerged, gradually dispersing all around. The freely drifting energy particles could easily trigger spatial changes.

"With this energy intensity, no wonder it could suppress us." Lancaster’s expression shifted slightly, quite surprised.

"There’s still such strong energy remaining, let’s move back a bit..."

Uncertain of the situation, everyone retreated simultaneously, withdrawing a great distance.

At this moment, the shattered giant crystal appeared like a paper wrapped in flames, teetering on the brink.

Boom!

In an instant, the crystal completely shattered, and brilliant energy radiance erupted, shooting skyward with an unstoppable force, forming a giant pillar of light.

Infusing into the space-time isolation state on the periphery, Mikhail’s expression was tense, almost changing colors, but realizing the energy didn’t cause space-time alterations, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The dazzling light pillar illuminated the area as bright as day, so bright it was almost impossible to keep one’s eyes open, but it wasn’t much of a concern for them.

Whistling winds roared sharply, engulfed in black mist, creating a chilling scene, with faint, low growls coming from within the mist.

This energy burst wasn’t mainly destructive, and the remaining shockwaves posed little threat to everyone, quickly being suppressed.

"Did it self-destruct?" Li Ming’s pupils reflected the sky-reaching light pillar, making him sigh.

"King-making Trial..." he pondered.

The Titan Trial with the highest difficulty seemed even more challenging than the trials he had undergone, and he wondered what the situation was.

"Really perverse, no wonder each Titan is a powerhouse."

The name suggests selecting a Titan King, a king among kings, more prestigious than a Dominator Level Titan.

But as far as he knew, there seemed to be no such king among the Titans.

"There’s also the Ruins Period... even Titans were buried, who could escape it?"

He frowned slightly, thinking of the Holy Castle inspector who always suspected him of cheating, never voluntarily speaking out.

The questions he asked were sometimes limited by permissions.

"Stop it."

Reynolds spoke, and everyone flew forward again.

The original location of the half-crystal now only had a bottomless black hole.

Thunk--

Reynolds kicked a chunk of metal into it, disappearing without a sound, with not even an echo, as if it had been devoured.

His pupils brightened, the mechanical rings inside and out spinning continuously: "Damn it, we can’t see the bottom, all kinds of detection waves are being devoured."

"What kind of hellish thing is this?"

On the other side, Diwusi employed a method, launching a Rune Ball into it, holding onto an energy line on the other end, the line being rapidly let out under her control, yet still bottomless.

With a tug, surprisingly, the Rune Ball was pulled up within seconds.

"Strange... the space trait is very peculiar." Diwusi frowned deeply, and others employed various methods but discovered nothing.

"Mikhail?" Costa looked over.

"We couldn’t even complete that trial, do you think we would know what this black hole is?" Mikhail shook his head.

Cedric frowned and said, "Let’s not waste time here, let’s move to another place."

Gonzalez’s gloomy gaze swept over Li Ming, but with such an interruption and no support from others, there was no result in continuing to make trouble.

Everyone quickly reached an agreement, leaving a group behind to guard the place.

Then they followed Mikhail to the next location.

The silent black hole, like it could devour everything, its deepest parts seemingly bottomless, and space-time congealed here.

Suddenly, a pair of gray eyes opened, pausing for a long time, seemingly adjusting, remembering.

Only after a long while did a meaningless sound echo in this pitch-black space--

"The stuff above is gone, we can head out."

Another pair of eyes also opened, glancing at the small white dot above, "I smell the breath of life forms, powerful life forms, the scent of Titans, we need to replenish our energy..."

......

Meanwhile, in the Empire Capital, inside a lavish palace, Heckler frowned, staring at Yon: "What do you mean the Azure Dragon did not go to the Holy Spirit Civilization Ruins?"

Yon was drenched in sweat, "I’m not clear on the specifics, but I discovered information Costa sent, saying that Li Ming went in place of Azure Dragon."

"Li Ming went in place of Azure Dragon?" Heckler was baffled, "He was willing to let Li Ming venture into the Red River Star Stream, and to explore ancient civilization ruins with the people from the Three Civilizations?"

"I’m not sure, but it probably isn’t fake." Yon kept his head down.

"Azure Dragon, actually didn’t go in person." Heckler paced back and forth, still puzzled: "I remember the Star Alliance’s leader is Gonzalez, because Ryan’s interstellar massacre seems to have dragged him into it, causing him quite a bit of trouble."

"And there’s Crow, his Bavarian Kingdom has always coveted talents with high development potential, they probably won’t let Li Ming go easily in the process."

Heckler’s eyes flickered, "Azure Dragon trusts Reynolds and Mikhail that much? No, even if these two are willing to protect Li Ming, they can’t withstand the pressure of the other three factions united..."
