As Feng Yi's psychic power continued to spread, the dim sky overhead, a black void howled back toward their location, the magnetic field hitting them like a superstorm from Serbia, whipping their clothes into a frenzy…
Wherever the bizarre phenomenon passed, all buildings along the path were utterly consumed and vanished without a trace, those dissolved things appeared to be swallowed whole by darkness with some sort of magical power, neatly extinguished in the silent void.
The sky was dim, and bystanders couldn't see any of this, only vaguely sensing the void getting closer by the oscillations of the magnetic field.
Yet through the rhythm of the "Eyes of Truth," Feng Yi could accurately detect the expansion speed of the void, it approached them silently and bizarrely, almost breaking through dimensions, he believed it would not take many breaths before it enveloped the city.
"Damn it—we need to quickly grab the oxygen devices, and be quick about it."
"Brother Feng, how…?"
"Cut the crap, move!" Before Kevin could finish, Feng Yi cut him off. They had to leave this place as fast as possible. He decided to take the two of them into the cosmos; this planet was doomed!
Just as the void was about to touch them.
Swoosh...
The three figures suddenly vanished, reappearing in the upper reaches of space, looking down below, they scarcely saw a terrifying sight: a terrestrial-like planet almost shattered to pieces, and black voids spread across the planet like parasites, constantly dividing…
While still in the rhythm-spreading phase, Feng Yi could still perform high-speed movements within the covered area, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh... In a brief span, he had traversed nearly half an astronomical unit's distance, and then he released the two, "You can let go now."
Letting go reflexively while suspended in the void, they immediately drifted far away at high speed through the cosmos. Bai Zhexian and Kevin panicked in an instant; in just a moment, the three who floated in the universe had pulled hundreds of meters apart, and if this continued, in merely a few minutes, they would no longer be visible to the naked eye.
"Don't worry, I need to rest a bit," Feng Yi communicated to the others via radio. He hadn't let go of them intentionally; it was just very uncomfortable to be grasped by someone. After a few breaths, he saw the two had already drifted kilometers apart, but they were floating counter-clockwise around the central black hole in the same direction, and this did not strain Feng Yi's psyche too much.
In no time, he used teleportation again to pull the two back together and began to rapidly search for the Space Crystal...
A small shuttle with red and white exterior suddenly appeared in the void.
"Holy shit," even Bai Zhexian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at its sudden appearance.
Feng Yi, however, remained calm and unyielding, as tranquil as a Buddha. This was a shuttle he had purchased during wartime in Maraca at Freedom Port. He rarely used it because the interior gravity buffer system wasn't comparable to civilian shuttles, and so the realm had been continuously declining during this period.
Kevin was shocked again, "Brother Feng, your risk tolerance is just too strong."
"It's safer in the shuttle than floating in space; let's go in."
Kevin looked apprehensively towards the direction of the terrestrial-like planet, then carefully floated inside the shuttle.
The moment Feng Yi entered, the lighting suddenly turned on, the dusty and spacious shuttle's screen flickered and then displayed a pleasant electronic prompt.
"Respected master, Red Sword AI at your service."
"Check the shuttle's structural integrity."
"Report: Red Sword's Shuttle C device is normal, engine performance output 100%, propulsion system normal, flowing light external armor undamaged, main cannon's lightning beam undamaged, complete."
"Look up the detailed panoramic star chart around us, and mark any abnormal regions."
"Understood."
Through the joint simulation of the 360-degree stellar observation device and the detection system, it didn't take long for the central projection to eject no less than twenty annotated screens, each marked with various messages worth noting.
A red supergiant not recorded in the coordinates was found 1 second away, estimated at 2060±210 solar diameters, could undergo a supernova explosion at any time within 30 years, radiation blast intensity calculated as unlimited.
12.5 astronomical units away from unrecorded coordinates detected black hole radiation waves, estimated mass at 3.22*10^54 kilograms, already in the capture range, advise evacuation.
In other words, the shuttle, and even that patch of terrestrial-like planet, were already on the edge of being captured by the black hole. What shocked the three wasn't the above scenarios, but rather the detection reports regarding the void.
6.5 astronomical units from unknown coordinates discovered an unidentified celestial body (void), no further data available...
0.5 astronomical units from unknown coordinates discovered an unidentified celestial body, no further data available...
1.6 astronomical units, 2.3 astronomical units, 0.2 astronomical units... An array related to the void with no less than twenty entries, all located in unknown places in all directions. This space had unexpectedly been wholly invaded by unknown voids, and the small area found so far was already falling into silent collapse—did this mean that even this universe was on its way to destruction...
In other words, even staying put was not a long-term solution. What exactly did the triple barriers of the White Cloud, Red Cloud, and Yellow Path Territories mentioned in the magic crystal civilization refer to? Damn, the information known was too fragmentary, Feng Yi slammed his fist down onto the control panel in frustration.
At his peak, Feng Yi could've expanded the search area constantly using his countless psychic forces in the Legendary Realm. Now, he could do nothing—no, maybe not necessarily!
His thoughts raced, and Feng Yi thought of another possibility. Even if magic crystal civilization was a big step above humanity, they still had warships, and they created barriers inside their ships, but hadn't reached the level of spiritual consciousness civilization.
In other words, even the barrier seals created by the magic crystal civilization would necessarily have a range limit and couldn't be too vast. In this limited time remaining, they could try to find the doorway to another dimension—and through the Third Rhythm, since he hadn't felt any fluctuations on that just obliterated terrestrial planet, this meant that the door they had entered was merely a one-way transmission point. While it wasn't on that terrestrial planet, it could appear in other star domains or at some location of a celestial body unknown to them.
When thinking of the White Cloud Territory, Red Cloud Territory, and even Yellow Path Territory, was there a possibility that the 'clouds' recorded in the brief history of magic crystals weren't actually clouds in the sky but some unknown celestial body, or a white nebula? After all, the three of them had entered through the same one-way transmission entry, and that doomed terrestrial-like planet was also a transmission point. The magic crystal civilization probably wouldn't establish the return dimensional gate in the same location.
That door might appear on some other terrestrial-like planet, it might appear above a nebula... How to search in this vast cosmic space was the question, and there was a fear that they wouldn't complete the search before either the void spread more rapidly or starvation ensued within the shuttle.
Wait, perhaps there was one last method left to him!
