Chapter 1033
begins preparation
Upon hearing this, Jonathan jumped to his feet and ran off in a random direction.
Even so, he didn't forget to wave his hand and take out a black mechanical skateboard from his spatial bag.
However, the skateboard only lit up for a moment before it sent Jonathan tumbling face-first to the ground.
Jonathan didn't even bother to investigate why the Green Goblin skateboard was malfunctioning before dashing off again.
Their willpower to escape was truly astonishing.
From the time Eric spoke until now.
This series of dazzling movements was extremely smooth, as if it had been rehearsed long ago.
Evelyn and O'Connor only had time to wave to Li Xiao before they rushed out after him.
Both of them have enhanced their internal energy and have been cultivating in this world for nearly ten years.
The other one unlocked the genetic lock directly, and his speed was no slower than O'Connor's.
Therefore, the two are very strong, and the distance between Nathan and Nathan is getting closer and closer.
The boy, perhaps fearing that his uncle might really die, also started running after his parents.
The members of the Central Continent Team, who had just arrived on the floating island, were speechless at the sight of this comical scene.
He could only shake his head with a wry smile.
But this very opening calmed down my initial anxiety about seeing the main god.
Just as chaos erupted on the other side, Ziyuan and Guo Ming walked over unhurriedly.
As Ziyuan, dressed in palace attire, approached, she smiled at Li Xiao and the others:
"I knew you would come."
Guo Ming stopped and politely greeted the Zhongzhou team members with his hands clasped in a fist salute.
After catching up, Li Xiao and the others finally learned the truth.
It turned out that after picking up Evelyn and the others, they came here as Jonathan had instructed.
However, they lost contact with the outside world as soon as they entered.
Even the way out has disappeared.
As for flying, I've tried, but no matter if I use magic items, spells, or the Green Goblin skateboard, I can't fly.
Just like Jonathan just now.
Fortunately, they all possessed storage-type magical artifacts, ensuring they had enough to eat and drink for a short period, which allowed them to survive on this barren white continent until now.
Because they believed that the Central Continent team would definitely come.
As for the center of this suspended continent, which is that group of pavilion buildings, the five of them have been studying it, since there really is nothing else to do here.
The problem is that these buildings are inaccessible; that layer of silvery radiance acts like an absolute barrier.
We can only watch from afar what we can reach.
They also tried to attack the orb of light above their heads, but just like Zero, any attack was defended against and had no effect.
After listening to what Li Xiao and the others said, Zi Yuan and Guo Ming finally understood something.
"What? His Majesty and Guo Lin might be in this pavilion??"
Seeing the two surprised people, Li Xiao nodded.
"I think you all already knew about this before you came in with Evelyn and the others.
Do you remember what we saw in the ruins of the town?
"The Yellow Turban Warriors who trapped the Dragon Emperor and his men were the same ones who had been chasing Jonathan during this period."
Despite some differences in size, they are definitely the same species.
"I think the place we looked at back then should be in the largest attic in the central building complex."
"What's wrong, Ziyuan? Did Li Xiao and the others bring any new information?"
It was at this moment that Evelyn dragged the horribly injured Jonathan back.
Saito and the others could even see a conspicuous bloodstain left by the man lying face down on the strangely textured white ground.
"Dear old friends, it's been a long time!"
Evelyn then let go of Jonathan and hugged Li Xiao, Zhu Wen, and Zhao Yingkong.
O'Connor also patted Saito and Li Xiao on the shoulders with great emotion.
"By the way, where are Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan?"
"Why don't I see them?"
As soon as O'Connor finished speaking, he saw Evelyn and Ziyuan casting two sharp glances at him.
Compared to this person with low emotional intelligence.
Evelyn noticed immediately upon meeting the Central State team that something was wrong with the number of players.
I got the gist of it when I beat up Jonathan.
Then, when I hit him, I used more force to vent some kind of emotion.
If Jonathan knew there was this reason, he might jump up right now.
"Ahem, never mind."
Seeing O'Connor acting as always, Li Xiao and the others chuckled.
"It's okay, I think you'll be able to see Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan next time we meet."
"So, have you made any discoveries during this time?"
Evelyn glanced back at the pavilion-like buildings and took a deep breath.
Then he nodded to Li Xiao and the others.
Since they couldn't fly, the group wasn't in a hurry and just walked slowly.
After the five people returned to a tent near the attic, they all sat down.
Evelyn had been thinking for a while and finally came up with a plan, so she began to speak:
"Honestly, you guys arrived much faster than we expected."
"As you can all see, this floating island is incredibly large."
Moreover, only the central area has a cluster of buildings.
The entire complex was covered in a layer of silvery light; after countless experiments, we discovered that this must be a magical version of an anti-theft mechanism.
"We can't get in, and the things inside can't get out."
"What I didn't expect was that the Dragon Emperor and the others would be inside."
Evelyn took a sip of water and continued:
"I agree with Ziyuan that this silvery radiance is an ancient power belonging to the East, because when our attack reaches a certain level, this radiance will condense into some specific patterns."
"This pattern is very similar to the oracle bone script and pictographs of the East, but it is not, because it cannot be translated into sentences."
"At most, there are only scattered words and characters."
As she spoke, Shion, who was sitting next to Evelyn, handed her a piece of paper.
He then added, "The symbols above are the original ones, and the text below is our deduced translation, which may not be entirely accurate."
Evelyn continued.
"This silvery glow only prevents us from entering, but it doesn't prevent us from getting closer to observe what's inside."
"So we've taken a pretty good look around this place during this time."
“Many written records can still be seen through some gaps.”
"Of course, I'm not referring to those plaques and doorposts."
"And another thing, we feel that the people who built this place seem to be in a very hurry."
"This applies to both building and leaving."
Evelyn, noticing the frowns on the faces of the Central Plains team members, explained:
"It's because some buildings here don't even have the concept of doors and windows, or even tables, chairs, benches, or beds in the conventional sense."
It looks like an unfinished product.
"As for why we left in such a hurry, the reason is quite simple: many of the rooms on the outskirts of the area were not closed."
"But that's precisely why we've had things to do during this period."
"The written records I mentioned are also from these rooms." At this moment, Chu Xuan suddenly spoke up:
"Where is the sphere of light above our heads?"
Haven't you tried it?
Evelyn and the others, remembering Li Xiao and his group's immediate attack on the light sphere upon arrival, quickly replied:
"I've tried it."
"Once the carriers of all attacks reach a certain distance, it's as if they've encountered a wall, and they can't advance any further."
"Not only this sphere of light, but we've also probed the magma below it."
"That's why I'm able to confirm that this isn't some other dimension, but a true underground world."
"An extremely large underground mezzanine."
"Because what's below is magma from the Earth's core."
Then, led by Evelyn and the others, the Zhongzhou team members got a closer look.
Outside the pavilions and towers.
Saito Hajime looked at the patterns that appeared whenever he attacked and the translated text, and finally realized something.
"A restriction, this is the array restriction that Xiao Honglu mentioned before."
"I remember him saying that this is a defensive formation formed by using the power of nature or heaven and earth through a specific layout, such as array patterns, array eyes, and orientation. In the cultivation system, it is also called a restriction."
"This is usually done to protect some kind of treasure."
"As long as this layer of silver light exists, we cannot enter. Unless the intensity of the attack exceeds the defensive limit of this formation."
After a series of actions by Chu Xuan, it was confirmed.
This layer of array formation has extremely powerful restrictions.
It's far beyond their current capabilities to crack.
Li Xiao then took out various flying items from his spatial bag and began to try them out, but as Evelyn had said, none of them worked.
However, Zhao Yingkong used spiritual pressure to condense the spiritual continent, and then Yuebu was in a state of explosion and destruction.
Zhang Jie's telekinesis can also be used, and he can use the power within it to fly.
However, it's more accurate to describe it as moving rather than flying.
The three of them tried to get close to the ball of light above their heads, and it was indeed a defensive barrier formed entirely by telekinesis.
However, none of the three made a move; instead, they landed again.
After some attempts.
Chu Xuan looked down at the records Evelyn and the others had collected and said calmly to Li Xiao and the others:
"It is obvious that the yellow-skinned cultivators who left the ruins had already set up the system so that this restriction would only disappear if they defeated the first god according to the procedure."
Li Xiao tapped his forehead with one hand: "So what do we do next?"
"If I'm not mistaken, that map with the message should be our identification."
"Once it's taken out, there's a high probability that the first god above will be activated and the process can begin."
Chu Xuan turned around, looked around, and said calmly:
"No, I need to prepare some more."
"Since the switch for the final mission is in our hands, there is still room for maneuver."
As Chu Xuan spoke, he walked to an open space and took out energy stones to arrange them.
At first, no one understood what it meant.
However, Chu Xuan had Moss leave some grooves and lines on the ground.
All the energy stones were interconnected, and a faint halo of color appeared on the ground.
Li Xiao exclaimed in surprise after walking inside:
"Is this the healing circle we traded for in Harry Potter?"
Chu Xuan nodded slightly, placing the second item on the table as he said:
"If we can finish this battle quickly, it would be best, but this battle will most likely take some time."
"Therefore, we need several sustainable locations to help restore physical strength, mental strength, and true energy."
After setting up seven recovery formations, Chu Xuan obtained the Demon Refining Pot from Li Xiao.
The second Chu Xuan appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a series of robots modified by the AllSpark.
Then came various large-scale mechanical equipment, which, once on the ground, were reassembled to build something even larger.
Fortunately, this area was flat and spacious enough, otherwise Chu Xuan really wouldn't have been able to fit all his things in.
Ten minutes later.
Aside from the two busy Chu Xuans and Mo Si who was helping out.
Everyone else, including Evelyn and Shion, stood there as if they were dumbfounded.
"Wait, why did Chu Xuan take out the space station?"
"And is this Megatron's crystal core?"
"What is that brain-like fleshy blob that's the leader of this group? Holy crap, is that Deep Blue's true form??"
"No, no, I recognize this, it's the T-virus, but isn't this quantity a bit too much..."
Li Xiao looked up at the unmoved orb of light and the distant pavilion still covered in silver light.
He murmured:
"Perhaps even those ancestors didn't realize that their biggest mistake was not setting it up so that battle would begin as soon as one enters."
"Instead, it gave someone ample time to prepare."
The empty, flat ground seemed to be the place for Chu Xuan to show off his equipment.
One after another, enormous machines unknown to the public rose from the ground and began to construct and cut certain metal parts with a clear division of labor.
And this is just the beginning.
Various devices seemed to be inexhaustible, appearing from the Demon Refining Pot and then landing on the ground.
Perhaps they noticed that there were many (idle) spectators nearby.
Chu Xuan began giving instructions without any hesitation.
And so, all eight members of the Central State team, plus Evelyn and the other three, got moving.
It was only at this point that Li Xiao and the others realized this.
Zhang Jie's telekinesis is truly unparalleled.
He did the work that everyone else did combined, plus more than double.
No matter how massive the mechanical structure is, it will assemble into its final form after flying through the air.
So after Zhang Jie made his move, a visible metal device quickly took shape.
When Chu Xuan combined the terrifyingly large dose of T-virus drug with a white, viscous liquid.
Everyone who saw it instinctively took a step back.
Because one after another, white, muscular substances gushed out from it like fountains, and grew larger and larger.
So much so that the white, textured muscles, stripped of their vertical lines, lay spread out on the ground, creating a visually jarring and nauseating effect.
This period of unchecked growth did not last long before it was taken over by the blood vessels and nerves extending from Deep Blue, which was that brain as tall as a person.
Just an hour later.
On the open ground, a figure that was a thousand meters tall, with its body made of white muscles and metal armor, finally took shape.
Chu Xuan placed the deep blue brain and the crystal spark left behind by Megatron on either side of the figure's chest.
There are additional sparks embedded in the joints of the limbs and on the back.
The two Chu Xuans entered the left and right eye sockets of this enormous being.
The inside of the eye socket is also covered by flesh and machinery, and is even more intricate.
As soon as Chu Xuan entered, he reached out and several writhing fleshy tubes fell from above, connecting to the interface that had evolved simultaneously on Chu Xuan's back.
How to put it? This being in front of us is like a combination of all the ultimate bosses since the Central Continent team entered the God Space.
It includes aliens, zombies, crawlers, and Transformers.
The combination seems almost perfect; no power has been discarded, and all have been applied to this body. (End of Chapter)
