I Arrived At Wizard World While Cultivating Immortality Chapter 687
Previously on I Arrived At Wizard World While Cultivating Immortality...
A massive, dark priest standing nearby vocalized in a deep tone: 'Master, the analysis is complete.'
'The enemy is employing energy resonance to assail the plane's barrier, intending to force a breach.'
Jie Ming inclined his head gently. Upon receiving the formation's analytical data, he swiftly rendered his judgment: 'For a common plane, this tactic would indeed prove effective.'
He directed his gaze towards the distant, shimmering golden wall, his expression serene.
However, the Infernal Sulfur Plane… had never been merely ordinary.
Even prior to the establishment of the Incense Fire Divine Dao, the entire plane had undergone numerous extensive alterations. And ever since the Incense Fire Divine Dao system was interwoven into the plane's fundamental rules, the very fabric of the world had been meticulously rewoven by his hand. An energy resonance of this magnitude wasn't even sufficient to scratch the plane's barrier. Yet… Jie Ming's lips curved into a smile. 'Let them break it open.' The obsidian giant priest appeared taken aback. 'Master, you mean…?' 'To deliberately reduce the barrier's strength.' Jie Ming's voice carried the same nonchalance as if he were instructing a change in ambient temperature. 'Synchronize the oscillations with their resonance frequency.' 'Then… choose the opportune moment.' 'And open a pathway for them.' The black giant priest bowed his head. 'Understood.' In the desolate void, the fleet continued its relentless barrage. As the energy frequencies gradually aligned, the surface of the plane barrier began to churn with increasing violence. The probe data went haywire. The next instant, the adjutant suddenly exclaimed, 'Success!' 'The barrier's strength is continuously diminishing!' 'Their energy system must have collapsed!' The commander's eight crystalline eyes flared simultaneously. Just as anticipated. This world was already nearing its end. Immediately following, the faint golden energy wall trembled violently. A minuscule fissure appeared, which then rapidly expanded! It was as if an unseen colossal hand had savagely ripped open the entire plane barrier from within! BOOM!!! Fierce energies erupted from the edges of the chasm. Moments later, after the tempest of energy subsided, a colossal passage, wide enough for multiple capital ships to traverse side-by-side, stabilized entirely. 'Plane passage confirmed clear!' 'Joint shields can proceed without issue!' The operator's tentacles moved with palpable excitement. The commander decisively swept a tentacle downwards. 'Proceed with the advance according to the established plan.' 'Third capital ship, lead a detachment to establish the void anchor point.' 'The remainder of the fleet… will enter the plane.' He paused momentarily, contemplating, then added, 'Do not hasten to annihilate the surface. The biological samples from this world still hold considerable research value.' 'Yes!' Within the confines of the Infernal Sulfur Plane, the heavens themselves were torn asunder. A gargantuan spatial rift stretched across the firmament, unleashing a cascade of distorted, prismatic light akin to a torrential downpour. One silver-gray warship after another majestically sailed through. Their metallic hulls obscured the heavens, and the sulfurous sunlight glinting off their cold, mechanical lines cast an oppressive aura of chilling metal. The devout on the ground gazed upwards, witnessing a torrent of steel descending from the celestial expanse. It was like an unstoppable avalanche consuming the entire world. Concurrently, Jie Ming slowly opened his eyes. The Great Void Step... fully unleashed. In that very instant, his state shifted from 'intangible' to 'completely vanished'. The entire invaded airspace was immediately enveloped by the spatial awareness of the Incense Fire Divine Dao. Each and every warship materialized within his perception as a precise point of light. The flagship, 'Deep Root', was particularly conspicuous, shining like a beacon in the darkness. Jie Ming's gaze subtly shifted. With a mere thought, spatial distances ceased to hold any meaning. Benefiting from the Incense Fire Divine Dao’s absolute dominion over the entire world, Jie Ming didn't even need to perform any spells. It was as if space itself had become an extension of his very being. For him, it was but a single stride. As his perspective altered, Jie Ming silently materialized within the flagship 'Deep Root'. Following this, the Causal Trace Shadow Technique was activated. Countless ethereal, golden threads of karma surged forth from his vertical eye, instantly ensnaring the 'Deep Root'. All informational data within the colossal vessel was instantaneously laid bare. Data streams. Energy pathways. The structure of the primary computer. Emergency self-destruction mechanisms… Every piece of information was rapidly processed by the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror. Almost the same moment he arrived, Jie Ming made his move. The Light God Transformation was initiated. His entire being morphed into an elusive stream of pure light, moving unimpeded throughout the warship. On the bridge, countless crew members didn't even have the time to register what was happening. They only perceived a blinding streak of white light searing across the vessel's interior. Then… all self-destruction nodes failed simultaneously. Safety fuses melted. Energy interrupters vaporized. Short-circuit reset modules were directly annihilated. Even the warning alarms did not have a chance to sound before the entire flagship was rendered utterly incapable of resistance.Simultaneously.
Jie Ming's spiritual power struck the flagship's central computer like a relentless hammer blow.
Leveraging his own extraordinary processing capabilities, the main brain's defenses crumbled in an instant.
Star charts, navigation logs, communication records, home planet coordinates, vast technological archives… with a swift spiritual link, the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror absorbed all encrypted data in a manner akin to forceful plunder, all within the span of a single eye-blink, from the moment the Deep Root breached the Infernal Sulfur Plane to this very completion.
It was only now that the first warning siren pierced the silence aboard the Deep Root.
At this juncture, the other warships hadn't even concluded their surface scans.
Communication channels were still relaying commands for the "deployment of suppression formations."
Then…
From their screens, all observers witnessed the colossal sixth-level battleship, the Deep Root, erupt in billows of smoke from multiple sections at once. The warship instantly lost all power, beginning a slow, ponderous tilt, like a derelict hulk.
Subsequently, trailing smoke and fire, it descended from the heavens.
It spiraled downwards, rotating with an utterly baffling and absurd trajectory.
The entire fleet communication network descended into an unnerving silence.
Nobody understood what had transpired.
No one had even a moment to process it.
In that precise instant, the alarm systems on every warship simultaneously erupted into a frantic cacophony.
"Ultra-high energy reaction detected!!!"
"Energy levels surpass all detection thresholds!!!"
"Spatial structure is being compromised!!!"
"Anchoring equipment is failing…"
The alarms ceased as abruptly as they began.
An immediate, profound silence enveloped all the warships.
This was because… time itself had halted.
The entirety of the fleet—from the colossal capital ships to their escort vessels, from the plummeting Deep Root to the reserve fleet positioned beyond the plane… every single unit froze precisely at the same moment.
The exhaust flames from propulsion systems flickered out, radio transmissions ceased, smoke became a solid, static form.
The entire battlefield was immobilized, akin to insects encased in ancient amber.
Then, Jie Ming's thousand-meter-tall Dharma Form gradually manifested between the heavens and the earth.
His dark golden physique cast a shadow across half the sky.
Two faces gazed down upon the paralyzed fleet.
The serene countenance in front slowly surveyed the frozen warships with its three eyes.
The stern, unyielding face at the rear directed its gaze toward the reserve fleet waiting outside the plane.
Beneath his oppressive stare, both the fleet within the plane and the one beyond were caught in a temporal stasis.
Jie Ming gave a slight nod. "Fortunate. This civilization's mastery over the temporal domain is not profound."
He surveyed the utterly motionless fleet and offered a gentle smile.
"A single cessation of time…"
"Suffices."
