I Arrived At Wizard World While Cultivating Immortality Chapter 691: Invasion!

Infernal Sulfur Plane, Main Control Room.

Rivers of crimson lava meandered slowly beneath the translucent crystal walls, imbuing the surrounding land with the distinct aroma of sulfur and superheated metal. The entire hall felt like a mechanical heart, embedded deep within the plane’s core. Countless runic tracks whirled along the dome’s expanse, accompanied by a persistent, low rumble. Jie Ming was stationed at the very center of the plane origin array.

The trailing edge of his dark robe billowed dramatically in the turbulent currents of energy. He extended his hands, his fingertips ghosting through the void, causing authority runes to illuminate one after another. These runes began to intertwine and reconfigure, ultimately coalescing into a colossal, intricate three-dimensional construct that unfolded layer by painstaking layer before him. It bore the appearance of a colossal bloom, intricately woven from pure light and fundamental laws.

As the petal-like authority modules rotated with deliberate slowness, control over the plane’s core was systematically relinquished. Following the final seal's release, a violent tremor coursed through the entire hall. The plane origin issued a profound hum, akin to a slumbering titan awakening.

Jie Ming retracted his hands and shifted his stance. “Completed. Authority has been transferred.”

Viola, positioned beside him, registered a slight, almost imperceptible lift of her eyebrow. Her usual easygoing smile was conspicuously absent as she composed herself and advanced. Instantly, the Law Solidification Domain, a hallmark of a sixth-ring wizard, flared into existence beneath her feet. A ring of gray-white light radiated outwards, within which numerous runes representing the Law of Pain materialized. These runes resonated harmoniously, emitting low, keening vibrations that demonstrably dropped the ambient air temperature by several degrees. The Law Solidification Domain did not cease its expansion; it grew at a velocity imperceptible to the naked eye, swiftly transcending the boundaries between the physical and the ethereal, until finally… it made contact with the plane origin.

The instant the domain brushed against the plane origin, the entire main control room plunged into sudden dimness. Immediately thereafter, the gently rotating golden core erupted with blinding brilliance, its luminescence synchronizing perfectly with Viola’s domain. A deafening boom reverberated through the space, sending invisible ripples outward as the entire plane seemed to draw a gentle, collective breath. Viola closed her eyes. Her consciousness surged outward, propelled along the plane origin, traversing infernal volcanoes, sulfurous seas, elemental pools, and the myriad divine dao altars scattered across the continent. A short while later, a familiar, knowing smile graced the corners of her lips. “Fusion complete.”

She opened her eyes and met Jie Ming’s gaze. “You’ve nurtured this plane origin remarkably well. It’s at least thirty percent more potent than when I last surveyed it.”

Upon hearing Viola’s assessment, Jie Ming barely acknowledged it, his focus remaining intently on the controls. “…Good. Coordinates are uploaded.” His hands returned to the main control array, fingers flying with practiced speed as his spiritual power intertwined with the ongoing process. “Initiate plane-level array energy accumulation.”

As his command was issued, the vast arrays encompassing the Infernal Sulfur Plane and its seventh-tier, large-scale element pool sprang to life in unison. A deep, resonant rumble emanated from the plane’s deepest strata—the palpable vibration of its entire spatial structure operating at peak velocity. Countless energy nodes ignited in rapid succession. Torrents of crimson energy surged through the plane’s intricate meridians, converging directly upon the main control room. Concurrently, the incense altars, dispersed across the plane’s surface, all began to glow. Hundreds of millions of golden threads of wish power ascended, merging into the array’s circulation system, instantly propelling the energy accumulation rate to its designed maximum. The atmosphere itself began to warp and distort. Minute fissures continuously spiderwebbed along the edges of the spatial fabric.

Viola raised a hand, employing her Law Solidification Domain to translate the coordinates Jie Ming had provided into navigation parameters comprehensible to the plane origin. The gray-white domain beneath her feet gradually adopted a subtle golden sheen, achieving precise frequency synchronization with the Incense Fire Divine Dao system. Then, she opened one eye, casting a languid glance toward Jie Ming. “Navigation locked. However, I still need confirmation… just how accurate are these coordinates of yours?” A smirk played on her lips. “If they lack sufficient precision, locating the target later will prove quite troublesome.”

“Rest assured. I can guarantee the target plane will remain within visual range,” Jie Ming responded with unshakeable calm. Viola clicked her tongue. “That level of precision is perfectly adequate.” In the subsequent second, the plane-level array reached its ultimate energy accumulation threshold. Jie Ming brought his hands together, slamming the final activation rune firmly into the control core. A tremendous boom split the sky asunder. A fissure of pure blackness tore across the firmament, extending for over a hundred kilometers, as though an unseen, colossal hand had savagely ripped open the Infernal Sulfur Plane’s sky. Within the fissure, dark purple void lightning surged ferociously, accompanied by deafening roars that swept across the entire expanse of heavens and earth.

On the far side of the spatial rift, a plane gradually came into view.

It was a blue celestial body, enveloped by a protective planar barrier.

An ethereal blue shell encased its exterior, with delicate, stable light patterns coursing across its surface like a colossal energy membrane. This was the formidable planar defense system of the Tentacle Tree Civilization.

Through this translucent membrane, the alien "cosmic expanse" below could be observed with clarity.

Viola retracted her hand, her Law Domain slowly receding around her.

She regarded the blue plane for a moment before crossing her arms, her tone as relaxed as if discussing a simple meal.

"Shall I help you dismantle the planar barrier while I'm here?"

"Breaching, resonating, forcing demolition—I'm quite adept at all of them. A barrier of this caliber won't pose much of a challenge."

Jie Ming waved his hand dismissively. "I can handle it myself."

Viola’s gaze caught the subtle flex of his wrist just before he spoke.

It was a preparatory gesture.

A flicker of genuine interest immediately ignited in her eyes.

Within wizarding civilization, the prevailing method for overcoming planar barriers invariably involved the Law Solidification Domain wielded by sixth-ring wizards.

Techniques such as penetration, resonance, erosion, and forced assimilation—all essentially revolved around establishing a connection between the Law Solidification Domain and the planar barrier, followed by its gradual deconstruction.

Alternative approaches certainly existed.

For instance, employing law weapons, navigating through natural spatial discontinuities, or utilizing energy resonance methods akin to those employed by the Tentacle Tree Civilization.

However, none could rival the effectiveness and steadfastness of the Law Solidification Domain.

And yet.

Jie Ming possessed a distinct approach.

His True Body.

The True Body, in the Dao Integration Realm, was incapable of merging with a plane's origin in the manner of a sixth-ring wizard.

This was because a cultivator's "Dao Integration" signified an alignment with the grand Dao of Heaven and Earth—the fundamental principles governing all existence.

To put it plainly, the Dao that Jie Ming had integrated with was the Dao of the entire wizarding world, not the localized laws of any specific plane.

In contrast to the wizard civilization's Law Solidification Domain—a specialized art derived from the plane's inherent structure—the cultivation civilization's Dao Integration and True Body appeared somewhat incongruous when confronting planar matters.

However… they were not entirely without purpose.

Confronting a planar barrier presented one of the rare scenarios where the Dao Integration True Body could exhibit its unique efficacy.

If an analogy were to be drawn, a wizard's Law Solidification Domain represented "integration" when facing a planar barrier.

Jie Ming's method, conversely, was "forced demolition."

Of course.

This so-called forced demolition was by no means a display of sheer brute force.

The structural integrity of a typical plane's barrier was not a mere thin protective shell but a three-dimensional construct akin to an atmosphere, often spanning tens of thousands of kilometers in depth.

Relative to this, his thousand-meter-tall True Body was so diminutive as to be almost negligible.

Were he to truly rely on raw power to rend it apart, it would be no different from an ant attempting to tear through a steel wire mesh.

Yet, what Jie Ming truly depended upon had never been simple might.

He tilted his head back, his gaze sweeping through the immense spatial fissure above, fixing upon the blue plane on the other side, his eyes holding a profound calmness.

The instant the spatial conduit was established, Jie Ming had commenced his operations.

The might of the Incense Fire Divine Dao had already begun its silent infiltration of the planar barrier.

Concurrently, the Fate Subsystem meticulously analyzed the barrier's intricate structure.

Load-bearing points, energy conduits, spatial meridians, critical junctures of legal weakness…

All pertinent data was processed with lightning speed.

His objective was to utilize himself as the central anchor, applying force with pinpoint accuracy at the most vulnerable points of the entire barrier.

Much like a hacker breaching a digital firewall.

Or employing a lever to dislodge a colossal mountain.

Jie Ming advanced a single step, departing the central control chamber of the plane's core and emerging into the open sky.

Subservient to his will, an even greater surge of golden power ascended from the altars scattered across the Infernal Sulfur Plane, coalescing into a potent current that traversed the void, extending towards the blue plane.

The moment this golden radiance made contact with the planar barrier, it commenced its penetration.

Jie Ming's form flickered, directly crossing the spatial fissure and materializing before the blue plane's barrier.

A dark golden luminescence gradually emanated from his person.

And then… it detonated with ferocious intensity!

Boom!!!

In a mere instant, the thousand-meter True Body manifested in its full glory.

It was a colossal, awe-inspiring dark golden colossus, towering like an impassive mountain.

Its corded musculature appeared forged from impenetrable metal, radiating an oppressive aura that suffocated the senses.

Twin faces, each adorned with three luminous golden pupils, simultaneously opened.

Two vertical pupils flared in unison, golden light lancing through the desolate void.

Jie Ming raised both his hands.

His ten fingers splayed wide.

And were pressed firmly onto the surface of the planar barrier.

Then…

He exerted his might.

Boom!!!

The point of impact erupted in a blinding explosion of pure radiance.

The azure barrier writhed violently, akin to searing steel abruptly plunged into frigid water.

Dark golden power flowed inwards along the meridians, established by the Incense Fire Divine Dao’s intrusion. Deep within his spiritual sea, the Fate Subsystem operated at peak velocity, pinpointing every structural vulnerability.

All ten fingers simultaneously grasped these critical junctures.

Crack… crack… crack…

With sounds reminiscent of shattering glass, the planar barrier’s spatial structure commenced its collapse.

Amidst the colossal energy confrontation, blue-white electrical arcs erupted sporadically, each stretching for hundreds of meters, lashing erratically through the void.

Jie Ming’s arm muscles swelled significantly as golden wish power cascaded behind him like a majestic waterfall, infusing his arms and finger bones.

His might continued its ascent.

The barrier’s surface emitted an ear-piercing shriek.

The sound, much like fracturing glass and titanic metal being forcibly contorted, grated on the nerves.

Visually, it appeared as though he were ripping the plane apart through sheer physical force.

However, in truth, the Fate Subsystem was meticulously analyzing the barrier’s entire stress framework countless times per second.

Every application of force was perfectly synchronized with the internal Incense Fire meridians, meticulously dismantling the structure.

It resembled less a brute-force effort and more the resolution of an intricate mathematical puzzle.

Ultimately, after incessant attrition, a minute breach materialized in the planar barrier.

Jie Ming seized this precise moment, plunging his fingers into the barrier’s foundational layer, thereby intensifying the invasion.

Concurrently.

Tentacle Tree Civilization, Border Monitoring Station.

An elder tree, assigned to duty, lounged against the control console. It idly held a nutrient solution with its tentacles while its gaze drifted across the monitoring screens. Since the departure of the expedition fleet, the work here had become exceedingly monotonous.

Void transmissions were frequently obscured by elemental turbulence, with contact only established every few days.

For the most part, the monitoring graphs remained as placid as still water.

Duty?

Essentially, a period for idle contemplation.

“Truly, it’s grown rather dull since those gilded youths departed…”

While the scions of prominent families were each more haughty than the last, their youthful presence, at least, injected a degree of vibrancy into this locale.

The old tree had just lifted the nutrient solution towards its mouth.

Abruptly, the monitoring screen flared crimson!

The entire system jolted into immediate high-alert status!

A piercing alarm resonated loudly.

Data on the screen surged exponentially within a single second.

“…?”

The old tree’s crystalline eyes widened drastically.

Extreme high-energy reaction detected on the planar barrier’s outermost boundary!

Spatial coordinates firmly established!

Unidentified energy source is actively breaching the barrier!

The nutrient solution slipped from its tentacles, splashing onto the floor.

“Border Monitoring Station contacting Headquarters!”

The old tree’s tentacles slammed onto the controls with frantic urgency, its roar filled with alarm.

“Planar barrier under assault!”

“Repeat! Planar barrier under an unidentified attack!”

“Super high-energy reaction detected. Suspected hostile civilization invasion!”
