Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 898 Depth 7, [The Abyss]!
The chaotic currents were stirred by the supreme power manifested here, violently surging within Depth 6, forming an unprecedented storm. If Dwight were still alive and witnessed this scene, he would shamefully admit that even the corporate firewall meticulously built by Zero Networks over decades could not withstand this storm.

Even the colossal spectacle of the Domain Firewall, which separates the abyss from the upper domains, will suffer significant damage in the face of such a terrifying impact.

At that moment, a tremendous brilliance, like a solar flare, shone forth from the endless storm.

Its brightness was so dazzling that even the ever-roaring abyssal storm, this vast entity that submerged depth 6, was forced to dim; the turbid waves slowed, and the gale ceased—

The second after the brightness reaches its peak.

—It erupted with a roar!
After reaching its expansion limit, the flare collapsed inward, and then erupted again in a fraction of a second! Accompanied by an incredibly heavy impact, a blinding white light engulfed the entire field of vision!

At the same instant, all the instruments and equipment attempting to monitor Depth 6, including the modules, emitted a series of shattering sounds. Whether located in the far north or the far south, in the deepest parts of the abyss, everyone watched in horror as the wave peak on the interface monitoring the Depth 6 energy level surged past its limit in an instant, and then the screen shattered with a bang!
The concept of time seemed to vanish. Song Shi coughed, took a deep breath, and the white blur that filled his vision gradually dissipated, revealing the world once more in his pupils.
VE, who was almost literally in a state of panic, stopped his emergency treatment and slowly opened his eyes wide.

The ceaseless storm, the raging currents stretching between heaven and earth, a barrier that even the King of the Abyss cannot fathom, a barrier he cannot even begin to comprehend.
A huge hole ran through it.

It wasn't a regular circle; rather, it looked as if it had been brutally torn apart by some violent and terrifying force, with irregular, jagged edges, like a shocking gaping wound. Through that deep, dark opening, chaotic streams of light were faintly visible, yet it clearly revealed a deathly stillness and emptiness.

The vast expanse centered on the void, including data streams, information, and redundant psionic energy—both explicit and implicit—all fell into indiscriminate annihilation, transforming into a tranquil absolute vacuum.

The combined power of six Abyss Kings and a fifth-ring [Great Source], as their all-out killing moves collided, created a force beyond measure, shattering the barrier separating Depth 6 and Depth 7.

Song Shi blinked.

Deep within his pupils, flames swirled, tinged with a glassy luster. Beneath the [Glassy View], the remaining white mist was pierced, and he could see the faces of the others clearly.

Not one of them looked anything but disheveled.

Elsie Ingersoll's white suit was now ripped, and his once-tied white hair had come undone, hanging loosely down his back. The mask that Miao Liluan had been wearing at her waist was now in disarray, and the one on her face was cracked, as if it might fall apart at any moment.

Stone Springs and Orian Cog were slightly better, but not by much.

The former's 22x2 Rubik's Cube now looks like it's been neglected for years, without any lubrication, making a creaking sound when it turns. The latter's mechanical scepter is covered with a thick layer of rust, and the chanting of numerous "electronic ghosts" has become weak and listless, huddled in the illusory mechanical field behind him.

Let's not talk about Manmante.

He was the only one who chose to retreat when the others were unleashing their deadly moves and venting their fury. He shrank back and hid again and again. However, the problem was that even so, he was still seriously injured. The aftershocks from the collision of the six people in front of him were too fierce, and he could not hide from the first day of the month to the fifteenth.

If I had rushed forward like everyone else, I'd probably be dead by now! Unlike VE, I don't have someone to shield me from the bullets.

How do you feel?

Song Shi's thoughts stirred slightly.

Ouch, that really hurts.

VE's voice echoed in Song Shi's mind. She gritted her teeth, as if squeezing out the blood from between her teeth to keep the sweet, metallic taste in her throat.

"But... you won't die!" VE breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "Song Shi, can you still move?"

The answer is definitely yes! Song Shi poured 40% of his power into [A Glimpse of Heaven] in one breath. In terms of killing power, it was top-notch in the entire arena. If it were a one-on-one situation, even a fifth-level cultivator could be cleanly and decisively killed by this attack.

In the midst of the chaotic battle of ultimate moves, the forces of multiple forces pulled, tugged, and confronted each other, causing this strike to not be fully unleashed on a single target. However, it was still like a hot knife through butter, invincible and smoothly cutting through any obstacle.

With devastating power, he used offense as defense. So, looking around at everyone present, although Song Shi's energy level had also dropped, his injuries were the lightest!

In the blink of an eye, everyone except Song Shi gradually recovered and grasped the current situation. Although theoretically it was "gradually," the intervals were so short as to be almost negligible.

The "consensus" that the psionicists had been painstakingly seeking was achieved in this instant.

Everyone—including Manmante—saw seven streaks of light rushing headlong into the gaping hole that pierced the barrier, without even bothering to adjust their condition or check their injuries!
Leading the charge was Manmante.

This Abyss King of the Silent Ones, contrary to his previous behavior, acted like a starving ghost who had suddenly found a feast, desperately plunging into the void.

"The World" dwells at the bottom of the abyss, selfishly monopolizing the possibilities of Depth 7. Like a deep curtain, it casts its own shadow over Depth 7.

Such cause and effect, such concealment, are difficult to interfere with, even by the supreme wonder of "the infinity of all things" forged by the "Society of the Silent" through eight thousand years of transmission.

Throughout history, countless people have sacrificed themselves in the pursuit of the truth, without any regrets. If it can help the Society of the Silent Ones to pass on the records, Manman is willing to be another sacrifice!
The only problem is.

"Sacrifice" is an option, but it is never an option that will necessarily work.

Manmant's lead lasted only a short time. Immediately afterward, several forces erupted violently, colliding back and forth in the void and instantly creating a small storm.

Manmante's momentum was slowed by the interference, and it was during this slowdown that Shiquanwei and the others caught up. They did not try to spend more time on Manmante - the first priority in a race is, of course, to just focus on their own speed.

However, a dazzling light suddenly shone at the entrance of the cave, and then the sea of ​​fire erupted like a volcano, sweeping through the cave and roaring up! It fiercely engulfed the figures rushing at the forefront.

Using the raging flames, Song Shi and VE quickly caught up and rushed to the front. Those who had been overtaken were unwilling to give up easily, and in an instant, the two exchanged dozens of blows, appearing even more intense than before!
Song Shi accepted all comers, letting VE hold on tight. With a powerful and heavy strike, he cut down one after another. This brutal fighting style created an impenetrable formation, forcibly blocking the others and seizing the first position.

No need to fight over it anymore!
Suddenly, a bright light appeared at the edge of their vision—the exit was near! Song Shi was about to become the first person besides Archibald to reach Depth 7!

"Um?!"

As if suddenly discovering something unbelievable, VE's eyes widened, her scalp tingled, and she roared, "Wait! Song—!"

Song Shi discovered it no later than VE.

Depth 7 caused Ogden Christopher to crash and burn, leaving the "Wizard King" desperately calling for help. No matter how you look at it, it couldn't possibly be a sweet place flowing with milk and gold.

It's likely to be a nightmare, a veritable inferno.

Despite his charge, Song Shi's perception remained at its peak, and he "saw" it a split second before VE yelled a warning—

That's too late.

A terrifying, suffocating pressure descended the moment it burst through the void!
