My fingers touched a layer of extremely flexible, cool energy film.
This membrane seems to exist, yet it truly blocks everything.
Lu Ming applied a little force, and the thin membrane at his fingertip caved inward, forming a clear fingerprint, but it did not break.
When he withdrew his finger, the dent immediately returned to its original state at an astonishing speed, and the membrane became flat and invisible again, as if it had never been touched.
"It really is a thin film..."
Lu Ming withdrew his hand, a look of surprise in his eyes.
"It's quite resilient, and its defensive capabilities seem pretty strong as well."
He looked up at the invisible membrane that seemed to isolate him from everything in front of him, then looked down at the map in his hand.
The path marked on the map clearly points in the direction behind this membrane.
The "source" symbol, which represents the end point, is right behind this membrane!
"Could it be... that the 'source' is inside this membrane?"
Lu Ming made his own guess.
"Is this thin film some kind of natural barrier? Or a barrier set up by some ancient being?"
He tried to penetrate the membrane with his divine sense, but found that the moment his divine sense touched the membrane, it was bounced back by a gentle yet firm force, making it impossible to detect what was behind the membrane.
"This...does it mean I have to break through this membrane to get in?"
Lu Ming frowned. He couldn't be sure what the consequences would be if he forcibly broke through this membrane.
Will they successfully enter and find that mysterious "source"? Or will they trigger some kind of terrifying restriction?
Standing before that invisible membrane, Lu Ming remained silent for a moment.
The opportunity is right in front of us, and we cannot stop moving forward because of unknown risks, but it is obviously not a wise move to rashly and forcefully break through.
"Let's try to see if we can get through without damaging it."
The natural dangers or ancient ruins in the cosmic sea are not completely sealed off; sometimes they have special "gates of life" or react to specific conditions.
He reached out again, this time not tentatively, but by pressing his palm completely against the cool, supple membrane.
The divine power within his body surged slowly, attempting to communicate and merge with the energy of the membrane, searching for its operating rules or possible gaps.
However, the energy structure of this thin film is extremely stable and exclusive. His divine power is like water droplets falling on oiled paper, unable to penetrate even a little, let alone cause any resonance.
Lu Ming increased his divine power output, even using the laws of space to try to distort local space and create a point that he could travel through.
But the membrane seemed to possess some kind of powerful spatial anchoring property, making the surrounding space incredibly stable, and his spatial laws had little effect here.
Chapter 148 Entering
"no……"
Lu Ming withdrew his hand and shook his head.
"This barrier is all-encompassing; it seems to isolate energy, matter, and space."
All mild measures proved ineffective.
Lu Ming's gaze gradually sharpened.
"It seems there's no shortcut."
He muttered to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"If that doesn't work, then I'm afraid we'll really have to forcefully break through this membrane."
Although he didn't know what the consequences of breaking the membrane would be, he had already come this far, and the destination indicated by the map was just beyond the membrane, so he couldn't give up.
The vast divine power within his body began to surge, and the Sky-Splitting Battle Blade appeared in his hand, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a deep hum.
He was prepared to use force to test the limits of this thin film!
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, you'll only know after you try!
Lu Ming's eyes narrowed, and he no longer hesitated. He did not use his full strength right away, but instead first swung his sword tentatively.
The Sky-Splitting Blade cleaved through the darkness, carrying a sharp aura that seemed to tear through space, and precisely struck the invisible membrane.
laugh--!
Where the blade contacts the membrane, it emits a strange sound, like cutting through tough leather.
The film was pressed deeply inward by the blade, stretched to a near-transparent limit, as if it would be torn apart at any moment!
However, just when Lu Ming thought it was about to break, the membrane showed amazing toughness.
After the indentation reached its extreme, a powerful rebound force suddenly came, and at the same time, the energy in the stretched membrane area flowed rapidly, forcefully dispersing and absorbing the cutting force contained in the battle blade.
hum!
The battle blade was deflected by this flexible yet powerful force, and the membrane, like a giant rubber band being tugged, vibrated violently a few times, creating visible, water-like ripples of energy that spread outwards before quickly returning to calm and intact.
"Ok?"
Lu Ming sheathed his sword, looking at the thin membrane that had instantly recovered, and raised an eyebrow.
"The defensive power is indeed impressive. Although I didn't use my full strength in that strike, it was still enough to injure an ordinary universe overlord, yet it didn't even leave a mark?"
He felt the feedback from the knife strike. The membrane's defense mechanism was very special. It wasn't a rigid defense that met head-on, but rather a way to neutralize attacks with extreme flexibility and elasticity, combined with the flow and dispersion of energy.
"Ordinary attacks are unlikely to be effective."
Lu Ming understood.
"Looks like I'll have to use a little more force."
He took a deep breath, and the divine power surging within him became even more intense, causing his aura to suddenly rise to a new level.
The Sky-Splitting Battle Blade was raised once more. This time, a terrifying and destructive energy fluctuation began to gather on the blade. He was preparing to use the secret technique of "Glory of the World"!
Although it was still not at full power, its power far exceeded that of the casual slash from before.
"Let me... open it!"
With a low shout, the dazzling blade light shone again, like a supernova suddenly erupting in the darkness, carrying the magnificent power to incinerate the rules, and fiercely slashed at that tough, invisible membrane!
The blade light of the Radiant Calamity slammed into the invisible membrane!
This time, it's no longer a simple dip or oscillation.
A blinding light erupted from the surface of the thin film, and the resilient energy structure groaned under the impact of the extreme destructive force.
Intense energy ripples spread outwards like a tsunami, stretching and twisting the membrane to its limit!
"Tsk-!"
A clear sound, like cloth being forcibly torn, rang out!
On that incredibly tough, invisible membrane, a long, narrow crack, several meters long, twisted and flickered, was finally torn open by this even stronger strike!
Through the crack, one could vaguely see that what lay behind it was not pure darkness, but rather a hazy halo of light.
However, this crack is extremely unstable. The powerful restorative force contained in the membrane itself is working frantically. The energy at the edge of the crack is rapidly wriggling, trying to heal the wound. It looks like it will be restored to its original state in an instant!
"what!"
Lu Ming's pupils contracted.
"So hard?! And it recovers so quickly?!"
He had initially thought that using the "Radiant Calamity" technique would allow him to break through relatively easily, but to his surprise, he only managed to tear a fleeting crack. The membrane's defensive and regenerative capabilities far exceeded his expectations!
"It seems I have no choice but to go all out!"
The opportunity was fleeting! Lu Ming held nothing back any longer, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Divine power, ignite!!"
boom!
The vast divine power within him instantly boiled and burned!
The immense power erupted like a volcano, causing his aura to surge instantly!
The Sky-Splitting Battle Blade in his hand emitted a resounding hum, and the light on the blade became incredibly intense, as if he were holding a real star!
"Celestial Calamity! Slay!!!"
This time, the flashes of the blade were more dazzling and more ferocious than ever before!
Wherever the blade passed, the darkness was dispelled. With an indomitable and resolute will to destroy all laws, it once again fiercely slashed at the crack that was about to close!
Click! ! !
A sound like shattering glass rang out! Fueled by burning divine power, the power of this strike reached a whole new level!
The crack that was about to close was forcibly torn open again and expanded into an irregular opening large enough for the Nine Dragons Palace to pass through!
"It's now!"
Lu Ming reacted extremely quickly. The instant the crack widened, he thought for a moment and his figure disappeared from the spot, returning to the Nine Dragons Palace.
"rush!"
The dark golden palace transformed into a streak of light, and without the slightest hesitation, it accelerated and plunged into the thin membrane opening before it could close!
The very next instant the tail of the Nine Dragons Palace disappeared into the cave entrance—
hum!
Under the powerful restorative force, the hole in the membrane shrank and closed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye, once again becoming that flawless, invisible barrier that isolated everything, as if it had never been damaged.
Inside the Nine Dragons Palace, Lu Ming looked at the membrane behind him that had instantly recovered and gently exhaled.
"Phew... I'm finally in."
A hint of emotion appeared on his face.
"It's so difficult to even get in; it requires burning divine power and using all my strength to break through even briefly... This place is truly..."
His gaze finally fell upon the mysterious space behind the membrane, a space that had been isolated from the outside world.
The Nine Dragons Palace floated in the space behind the membrane, and Lu Ming carefully observed this mysterious area through the palace's treasures.
