Chapter 511 - 345: Intercept and Kill
From Wang Yi’s perspective, the ecological marvel that was the Great Wind and Cloud Vine could be used as a giant spaceship if its flight speed was fast enough.
’The haul has been pretty good. Come on, let’s keep it up!’
Wang Yi continued to "open blind boxes" as the auction went on. Good items kept appearing, with Seven-Colored Divine Artifacts showing up frequently.
Time flowed by, day after day. When the 2,888th auction item appeared, Wang Yi had Li Longyu place another bid.
This item was an exclusive tool for Chaos Lords called the [Ultimate Barrier Scroll]. It was a one-time consumable, with each Player limited to a single use. Using it would greatly Enhance one’s World Line, bringing its stats to their ultimate level. The item was unusable if a territory did not possess a World Line.
This was an item that affected the world barrier. The world barrier was, in other words, the World Line. To ordinary residents, it was simply the boundary of the firmament.
The World Line was extremely important. Setting aside its defensive power, the World Line created the sky and the cycle of day and night. Without a World Line, one would only see the deep, vast Starry Sky, with no distinction between day and night.
The Strongest Royal Court’s World Line was already incredibly powerful due to the Heaven-Sealing Array. Wang Yi was very curious what the "ultimate stats" entailed and how much stronger it could become.
In the Fourth Dimension, not many Royal Courts possessed a World Line, which made the competition all the more fierce. Every bidder seemed to be fabulously wealthy.
A moment later, Wang Yi won the [Ultimate Barrier Scroll] with a final bid of 100 million Star Yuan!
This price set a new auction record, causing a stir. Even Lady Yu was in disbelief, exclaiming that the bidder was outrageously rich.
If not for the Star Yuan provided by the Mingyu Divine Lord, Wang Yi certainly wouldn’t have been able to afford it.
But Wang Yi didn’t feel like he was being a sucker. Star Yuan was meant to be spent. A mere 100 million Star Yuan for an ultimate barrier? It was a guaranteed profit with no downside.
As soon as the staff teleported the item to him, Wang Yi used it on the spot.
"Ding! You have used the Ultimate Barrier Scroll. Your world barrier has been Enhanced. Calculating..."
"Ding! The original world barrier’s Solidity already exceeds the ultimate value and will remain unchanged. The world barrier’s total Durability has been increased to 1 trillion. If the World Line is damaged, it will recover 1/10,000 of its Durability per second!"
"Ding! The world barrier has thickened, granting the territory a much vaster airspace. The world barrier is now approximately five million kilometers from the ground!"
"Ding! The Heaven-Sealing Array has been Enhanced. Based on the territory’s condition and the scroll’s enhancement potential, you have been gifted sixteen Profound Celestial Halls. The Profound Celestial Hall is designated as a large-scale teleportation structure that can connect to the Profound Celestial Sect. The Construction Drawings have been sent to your Chaos Warehouse. Please use them at your discretion."
"Ding! You have been granted the Yang Star skin. When viewed from the outside, your world barrier will resemble a burning star with endlessly surging flames. However, the skin’s effect is purely cosmetic; it does not provide heat or damage and has no offensive capability."
"Ding! After the world barrier’s Enhancement, it has affected the local space within the Fourth Dimension. Please explore the specifics on your own."
Wang Yi was filled with satisfaction.
’A world barrier with one trillion Durability, and it can even automatically recover one ten-thousandth of that per second... Plus, an airspace with a five-million-kilometer radius. This 100 million Star Yuan was so worth it...’
Wang Yi felt his world barrier was now invincible. If he had stats like these before, even if the Waga Royal Court had thrown its full might at him, or even if the Great Destruction Thunder God had attacked personally, the rate at which the World Line’s Durability dropped would likely have been slower than its recovery rate.
’That passive Automatic Repair is just insane!’
Meanwhile, in the Hundred Battle Royal Court’s Empire Mansion, within the Central Assembly Hall, a crucial military meeting was underway to discuss the next phase of their battle plan against the Strongest Royal Court.
Suddenly, the ground trembled and the building shook.
"An Earthquake?"
"What’s happening? Why does it feel like we’re being pushed back?"
"Everyone, don’t panic! The Assembly Hall is built to be extremely sturdy. It can withstand a magnitude 10 Earthquake!"
"Is the surveillance radar picking anything up? Don’t tell me we’re being invaded by an external enemy?"
"My Lord, should we adjourn the meeting?"
Everyone in the Assembly Hall was alarmed, and a brief moment of chaos ensued.
But You Dazhi, the Lord of the Hundred Battle Royal Court, wore a grave expression, remaining silent and motionless.
He had received a system notification: his territory was being forcibly pushed aside by an unknown power and was being compelled to move.
’Damn it, what kind of power is this? My territory is a whole planet, yet it’s being forced to move?’
You Dazhi was baffled. He announced that the meeting was adjourned, and a moment later, he walked out of the central mansion. He looked up, and his eyes went wide as his mind reeled in shock.
In his field of vision, a massive "planet" was approaching head-on. It glowed with a faint golden light, its surface roiling with flames, just like a star.
It was the approach of this very planet that was pushing his Hundred Battle Royal Court aside, forcing it to move.
"This is..."
You Dazhi shot into the air to get a better look. He suddenly spotted a massive, somewhat familiar gate tower on the surface of that star.
’Oh no, that’s the Strongest Royal Court! H-How did it get so big? Is it going to invade my Hundred Battle Royal Court? I’m not ready yet...!’
You Dazhi recognized it. The thing approaching them was none other than the Strongest Royal Court. Its sun-like surface was its World Line.
He didn’t know what had changed about the Strongest Royal Court; he only felt that it had swapped to a new territory, transforming into a colossus, a true behemoth.
In reality, with the creation of the ultimate barrier, the Strongest Royal Court now resembled a massive star with a five-million-kilometer radius when viewed from the outside. It was pushing all planets, asteroids, and Starry Sky continents that were originally within five million kilometers of it outward.
