Chapter 19: Ancient Civilization Relic No. 12
"Alright! Big brother, then I'll be waiting for you to bring that main gun back to me! Hurry up, my scientists are constantly chasing after me for blueprints, I'm getting so annoyed!"
"Um."
Hong responded with a faint "yes".
After Thor hurriedly left the office, Hong's figure slowly faded away and finally disappeared without a trace.
……
Above the clouds in a sea area near the Hawaiian Islands, designated as a top-level restricted zone by the military.
A blood-red, sleek triangular fighter jet hovered silently like a ghost, its fuselage coating perfectly absorbing all radar waves, as if it had merged with the sky.
The hatch opened, and Hong stepped out, his feet treading on the void, his gaze calmly overlooking the azure sea below.
In his perception, this seemingly calm sea was a paradise for monsters. Countless powerful life forms lurked in the deep sea, and several of them had even reached the level of king-level monsters.
They were all attracted and catalyzed by the trace amounts of energy unconsciously leaked from that enormous spaceship that slumbered at the bottom of the sea over countless years.
Before his breakthrough, it would have been quite difficult for him to dive into the ocean without alerting these massive creatures. But now…
An invisible force field enveloped his body, and the seawater in front of him automatically parted to form an absolute vacuum.
Before those sharp teeth of the armored sharks could even get within a hundred meters of him, they were instantly squeezed and torn apart by an invisible force, turning directly into dust.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hong's figure transformed into a beam of light, hurtling straight toward the depths of the seabed with an unreasonable momentum.
All the sea monsters that blocked his way, whether they were beast soldiers, beast generals, or even several low-level lords over a hundred meters long, exploded into a cloud of blood mist the moment they came into contact with the invisible force field around his body, without even having time to let out a cry, making the surrounding seawater even more turbid.
Behind him, a long trail of blood and bits of flesh was left behind.
As the depth continued to descend, the light became dimmer and dimmer, and the water pressure reached a terrifying level, enough to crush a submarine into a pancake in an instant.
It was as if there was an invisible membrane around Hong's body, isolating him from all the pressure.
He soon reached the seabed, five thousand meters below the surface. It was deathly silent, with only strange, glowing creatures swimming in the darkness.
Without pausing, he stretched out his finger and gently touched the thick, rocky seabed beneath his feet.
Without a deafening roar, the dark spear automatically appeared in his hand. The spear tip vibrated rapidly, and an extremely concentrated spiral penetrating force erupted. The rocky seabed beneath his feet was like tofu, and a bottomless hole was silently drilled through it.
Hong's figure disappeared into it, continuing downwards.
Another 3,300 meters.
When his toes touched a cold, hard piece of metal, he knew he had arrived.
The Heilongshan X81 model is the spaceship of powerful and influential figures in Heilongshan.
A colossal vessel that has been lying dormant at the bottom of the ocean for 80 years.
Instead of entering through the main entrance, which had long been eroded beyond recognition by time and seawater, he relied on the keen senses of a star-level expert and his memory of the original plot to quickly find a circular hatch covered with rubble and mud on the lower side of the spaceship's massive hull.
That was a damaged access point for maintenance.
Hong crawled inside.
The interior of the spaceship was utterly silent and cold. The air was filled with a strange smell of dust and decaying metal.
Hong's domain silently unfolded, a darkness invisible to the naked eye, enveloping a space dozens of meters around him. Within this domain, he was the sole controller. No potential danger, no minute energy fluctuation, could escape his perception.
He followed the route he remembered leading to the armory, navigating the complex metal tunnels.
Soon, he arrived at a wide passage that stretched for a kilometer and seemed to have no end.
The walls on both sides of the passage are as smooth as a mirror, and every ten meters there is an inconspicuous small black hole.
It is here.
The original story features a laser tunnel that strikes fear into the hearts of even planetary-level powerhouses during the exploration of the ruins.
The moment he stepped one foot into the passage.
"Buzz—"
The entire passageway lit up without warning.
Hundreds of scorching laser beams, thinner than a human hair, burst forth from the black holes in the walls on both sides in an instant. They intertwined and weaved through the air at high speed, forming an impenetrable net of death. The high temperature emanating from it even made the surrounding metal walls glow slightly red.
Each of these lasers is enough to slice an aircraft carrier in half in an instant, or vaporize a planetary-level powerhouse.
However, this death net, which was enough to drive any planetary-level martial artist to despair, caused a bizarre scene when it touched the invisible dark domain surrounding Hong's body.
The speed of all the laser beams seemed to have been plunged into a viscous swamp, suddenly slowing down by more than a hundred times, and their flight trajectories were visibly distorted.
Hong's steps did not falter at all; he maintained his previous pace, calmly walking forward step by step.
The laser beams, three meters in front of him, seemed to encounter their king, obediently sliding to the sides without touching his clothes in the slightest.
This is the third realm. Within this realm he controls, he can even distort the laws of physics to a certain extent.
In just a few dozen seconds, he calmly walked across this kilometer-long death tunnel.
Behind him, the laser beams gradually faded, and the passage returned to darkness, as if nothing had ever happened.
At the end of the passage was an enormous, heavy circular gate, cast from an unknown black metal, covered with intricate patterns, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.
According to Babata in the original work, opening this door from the outside requires at least the strength of a third or fourth-level star.
Hong looked at the sluice gate in front of him and took a deep breath.
When he broke through to the Hengxing level, he absorbed far more wood crystals than normal, which made his physical foundation extremely solid. His strength and physical strength were already far superior to those of others of the same level.
In addition, the domain's assistance...
Perhaps, we can give it a try.
Without further hesitation, he walked to the gate, placed his hands against the cold bottom edge of the gate, lowered his legs slightly, and assumed a posture for exerting force.
"rise!!!"
A low growl came from deep within his throat.
The miniature star inside his body was spinning wildly, and boundless energy poured into his arms like a flood bursting its banks.
The muscles on his arms bulged, and the veins coiled like dragons, and a terrifying power burst forth from his body.
The incredibly heavy gate creaked open with a sickening sound as he forcefully lifted it up a crack.
There is a play!
A glint flashed in Hong's eyes as he channeled the power of his domain into his arm.
"Open it... for me!!!"
With a roar that echoed throughout the entire spaceship, the massive gate, sealed for countless years, was slowly lifted up little by little by him with the most savage force amidst a violent tremor and booming sound.
An ancient aura from 80 years ago wafted out from behind the gate.
"Second brother, I'll definitely find your main gun!"
