This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 448 There is someone inside!
"Gan!"

Li Ming cursed in his heart, but his reaction was not slow. However, when he really took action, he realized something was wrong.

The surrounding space underwent amazing changes in an instant, instantly becoming condensed to an unbelievable level.

The entire area seemed to have turned into a huge, extremely hard entity.

Even the tiniest particles seem to be bound together by a powerful force, leaving no gaps or room, and no longer free or floating.

Li Ming seemed to be in a swamp, any movement he made was stuck and stagnant. With his current strength, breaking the shallow space was like smashing glass, but now it was difficult for him to move.

Not only that, he clearly felt that the speed of light propagation in the vicinity seemed to be greatly hindered, becoming slow and distorted, and everything around him became still and rigid.

The flow of time is also slowing down, and it's not just space that is stagnant.

"Is this a space-time lock?" Li Ming's mind raced. This method of blocking not only locked the parameters of space, but also interfered with time. The two combined complemented each other.

This intensity of space-time lock has reached the top level, and even X-level life forms find it difficult to escape.

"So that thing is a countdown." Li Ming understood now.

This stone is not just some kind of inheritance device, it's also a bomb, and the selected inheritor is like a code.

If you don’t enter the answer correctly the first time, the self-destruct program will be activated directly, and the countdown will continue.

It was a failed attempt the second time, so I just detonated it directly.

"Only female creatures can inherit, damn..." Li Ming gritted his teeth secretly, and the purple energy particles in his hand slowly emerged, becoming many times slower.

"The ability of the hammer has also been affected. The flow rate of time and space has slowed down by at least ten times." Li Ming noticed it and became more solemn. Even the level of the hammer was affected. The specifications of this thing must be extremely high.

His thoughts were not affected, perhaps because possessing the tank guard was no longer a physical concept.

At the same time, the black and red sphere in the center continued to expand.

Li Ming could see clearly now that this was not a stone at all, but an object composed of a large number of black symbols, layered together, with a red core wrapped in it.

It's like a star that has been compressed to the extreme, with a red surface and ripples from time to time.

Li Ming felt an unparalleled threat from it, and its energy intensity far exceeded that of a conventional star.

Full of violence and uncertainty, perhaps in the next second, it will erupt with a torrent of energy that is enough to devour everything and turn everything around into nothingness.

"boom!"

Without a sound or a trace, a hammer with all the strength he had put in was thrown out fiercely.

However, the movement seemed to be slowed down countless times, and every subtle movement of Tanwei was infinitely prolonged.

With one blow of the hammer, visible ripples appeared in space, spreading outward in circles. Each ripple contained terrifying power, but the speed was extremely slow.

Until it expanded to a certain limit, as if the accumulated power suddenly burst out, ripples suddenly exploded, and surged out in all directions like a raging sea, causing the void to tremble.

Boom! The small base was shattered, and metal debris was everywhere.

"Ten-meter range..." Li Ming looked solemn, but under this time and space lock, ten meters was like an insurmountable barrier.

He tried to switch the control object, and the control system was not affected either.

However, any space-jumping control devices are completely ineffective because their levels are too low and they cannot break through the space-time lock.

The black symbols expanded extremely quickly and had already included him.

But Li Ming, who was fully focused at the first moment, did not feel any harm, and the black symbol was still expanding.

"Huh?" Li Ming was puzzled. He looked at the red core in the center. It was rising and falling like breathing, and seemed to be affected by the time and space lock.

Until the boundary of the black symbol expanded to ten meters away, forming a black light shield as a whole.

Without any warning, the red core suddenly collapsed inward, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand.

The core was instantly compressed to a tiny point, and the surrounding space was condensed countless times, causing severe distortion due to this extreme compression.

Then, it suddenly exploded, releasing energy that was enough to destroy the world, gushing out in all directions with a devastating force.

The light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. The entire space was filled with this blinding light, as if it was going to burn everything into nothingness.

The rock-like space was as fragile as thin paper. It quickly collapsed under the erosion of energy and turned into nothingness.

In the interstellar space dimension model theory, the universe is divided into five layers, the shallow space, which is the basis for the existence of the material world.

After being shattered, there was the realm of the surging void storm.

Generally speaking, when it comes to the X energy level, there is the ability to break up the shallow space.

Below the void realm is the dimensional world. It is not so easy to break the void realm, so if you want to connect the dimensional world, you can only do it through special methods.

Below the latitude world is the deep dimensional world, and finally the eternal abyss.

Interstellar space is an abstract concept, and its actual structure is definitely not like a hamburger.

And now, Li Ming watched helplessly as the red core pierced through the shallow space, the void realm, the dimensional world and even the deep dimension, and directly reached nothingness.

The distortion and fragmentation of space formed dark cracks, which seemed to be the entrance to an endless abyss, exuding a creepy atmosphere.

Eternal abyss!

A terrifying energy storm is coming.

At the first moment, the metal shell of the tank began to melt. Li Ming had already added defense, and combined with the hardness of the tank itself, the defense performance was almost doubled.

Combined with the tank's own capabilities, this has already weakened the energy intensity by 40%, but it can only slow down the progress of collapse.

This is the most primitive kind of destruction, annihilation to the particle level.

“How can it be so fierce…” Li Ming’s heart tightened.

What's even more outrageous is that this violent energy was actually confined within a range of ten meters by those black symbols.

The space blockade was immediately penetrated, but the time lock still existed, as if it relied on the black symbol.
Outside the range, the mechanical bodies floating in the universe were not even affected.

……

Almost at the same time, Anduin in front of the core base turned around and looked at Barbaro: "Did you feel it too?"

"I have a vague feeling, what's going on?" Barbaro asked hesitantly. "I don't know either..." Anduin frowned, and a large number of symbols in his pupils sank and floated like the sea.

Barbaro was a little suspicious: "You don't know either? Aren't your eyes said to be able to see another galaxy?"

"I saw a strange area, but I couldn't tell what it was like. It's not far from here. Should I go and take a look?" Anduin said.

"Are you deliberately delaying time?" Barbaro looked back at the core base.

Anduin was speechless: "The Azure Dragon and I have nothing in common, would I really go to such lengths? The outbreak point is nearby, maybe it is related to the Azure Dragon."

"Then let's go and take a look." Barbaro muttered to himself, it wouldn't waste much time anyway.

Anduin raised his hand, and blue symbols intertwined, building a transmission channel.

The two of them walked in one after the other, and then staggered out from another twisted portal.

"Anduin, you did this on purpose. How could you make a mistake while building a teleportation channel?" Barbaro's face was dark and his hair was curly. Although he was not hurt by the space storm, he felt quite disgusted.

"It's not me..." Anduin looked solemn, his eyes fixed on the black and red ball of light not far away.

"Huh?" Barbaroel also noticed it.

"It seems to be Qinglong's base..." Anduin looked around and found broken instruments and equipment, as well as many wandering mechanical bodies.

"This looks like a time and space lock?" Barbaro looked fearful, vaguely feeling the almost stagnant time and space in the black ball of light.

"It's not just a time and space lock..." Barbaro's face became more and more solemn. He stretched his hands in front of him, and a large number of purple lines flew around, and then a hexagram was outlined, which he pressed in front of his eyes.

"This is... the space-time isolation matrix!" Anduin's mental fluctuations were unstable, and he seemed extremely surprised.

"Regional space-time locks do not isolate the transmission medium. This is based on the space-time lock, and a special method is superimposed to temporarily separate this space from the physical universe."

"What do you mean?" Barbaroel didn't understand this long speech.

"It means that although we see it here, in fact, this space is not in the universe." Anduin looked solemn, glanced at Barbaro obscurely, and expressed his amazed mental fluctuations: "Qinglong's attainments in time and space can actually reach this level..."

"What the hell is that?" Barbaro frowned. Anduin's admiration for the Azure Dragon made him feel a little uncomfortable. "I'm looking at it. How could it not be in this universe?"

"It's a mess. I want to see what's going on."

Barbaro flew towards the black and red ball with a sullen face. After a slight hesitation, he stretched out his hand to touch the edge of the light ball. The black symbols rose and fell like water waves and did not seem to have any lethality.

This made Barbaro secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as he knew that the master craftsman could come up with many strange and bizarre methods.

Some of them sound powerful, but actually do not help much in combat, just like those mechanical bodies under Qinglong's command. Even though they cannot be cracked, can't they be smashed to pieces with a slap? Is it necessary to crack them?
Anduin did not remind anyone, but just watched intently.

"This space-time matrix doesn't seem to have anything..." With mental fluctuations, Barbaro tried to put his hand in, but still felt nothing. He reached in again, but couldn't touch or feel anything.

"It can actually penetrate in one direction..." Anduin was surprised.

"What kind of space-time matrix is ​​this? It seems to be just like this..." Barbaro's mental fluctuations came, and he turned to look at Anduin.

"We are evolved beings. This kind of scientific research technology should be handed over to specialized people. No matter how powerful this technology is, it is better to develop more..."

Barbaroer said this, and then pulled his hand out. Anduin, who was too lazy to pay attention to him, had his pupils condensed, "Barbarol, your hand..."

"My hand?" Barbaro subconsciously wanted to raise his hand, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat and his face changed drastically. Only then did he realize that his arm was gone!

"This..." His eyes trembled. It was cut off at the root two-thirds of the way up from the shoulder and elbow. The cross-section was smooth, and the flesh and bones were clearly visible.

It was the part that had just been immersed in the space-time matrix, but he himself did not feel anything, and even no blood flowed out.

He suddenly turned around and flew back. He looked at the black and red ball of light behind him with fear in his eyes. His hair stood on end and his mind was in turmoil. "What the hell is this?"

Anduin looked solemn. "This thing seems to have isolated an area of ​​energy implosion. What on earth is Azure Dragon doing?"

Witnessing what happened to Barbaro, he did not show any fear. Instead, he flew up and the pendant hanging around his neck flew out. It looked like a cross pendant, emitting golden light.

Large symbols were flying, and six golden arms grew out from behind Anduin. The stars were shining brightly around him, and energy particles were rising and falling like waves.

The matrix patterns gradually took shape in the void. At first, they were interwoven and crisscrossed in an orderly manner, and slowly built into a regular cube.

This cube emits a strange light, and every edge and every face is precise and perfect.

Then it was precisely embedded in the cross that was shining with brilliant golden light. The two merged perfectly, and suddenly a beam of light shot out and landed on the surface of the black light ball.

Barbaro's face twitched violently and he subconsciously wanted to move away, but the expected big collision did not happen.

Instead, it slowly merged into the constantly surging black light shield with an extremely gentle force. The black symbols were mixed with golden symbols.

"Huh..." Anduin exhaled slowly. "Fortunately, this space-time matrix model is not too complicated. I used the Holy Cross to feel my way into the border."

What does that mean? Barbaro wanted to ask subconsciously, but he held it back.

"Now we can see what the Azure Dragon is doing." Anduin raised his hand, and runes intertwined, outlining an unstable picture.

A mixture of red and black, like the scene of various substances interweaving at the beginning of the Big Bang.

"I can't see anything clearly..." Barbaro came closer, still frightened, and didn't even dare to get too close.

Even at this moment, he still felt a little scared. If he put his whole body in there, would he be dead?

"It seems to have subsided?" Anduin quickly discovered the abnormality. The energy fluctuations subsided at an extremely fast speed. "The energy reaction should have reached its final stage."

"The final stage?" Barbaro was stunned. "You mean, he wasn't the strongest just now?"

His face changed. If this thing was really made by Qinglong, then there was no point in fighting it. He wouldn't even feel his arm gone.

"Wait... this..." As the energy subsided, Anduin's expression suddenly changed, his face full of horror, "There's someone in there!"

"Is there someone here?" The thoughtful Barbaro was startled and looked up subconsciously.

In the boiling red light, the outline of a golden figure was faintly visible, with clear boundaries.

The terrifying energies that were powerful enough to destroy his arms silently were unable to break through the golden barrier.

"Is there really someone there?" Barbaroel looked incredulous and shocked.

It was able to destroy his arm silently, and the upper limit of the energy intensity was almost impossible to guess.

Yet, in the core area, this guy is not affected at all. What level of physical strength has he reached?
