Chapter 149 Ideal Blackbody
space.

Luo Qing's figure suddenly appeared, and beside him, Zhi Zi also appeared.

"Tomoko, what are you doing following me?"

Facing Luo Qing, who was so close at hand, Zhi Zi unfolded in six dimensions, forming a fully reflective mirror sphere with a diameter of one meter. This was the first time Zhi Zi had unfolded in a low dimension at close range in front of Luo Qing.

Luo Qing frowned slightly, but did not make a move.

It seems that Tomoko has also discovered something.

Luo Qing continued to move at 1% of the speed of light toward the scratch mark within the range of his divine sense.

That was indeed a "scratch mark." If Luo Qing's divine sense was a constantly expanding circle, then that "scratch mark" was a standard cube-shaped eraser. Wherever the eraser passed, Luo Qing's divine sense was completely erased.

From the moment the divine sense discovered the cube, the cube had already left a 'scratching mark' in the divine sense that stretched for 300 million kilometers.

What shocked Luo Qing the most was that the 'eraser' suddenly increased its speed when it realized that the nearby divine thoughts were flowing towards it.

After the speed increases, the 'eraser' travels at... the speed of light.

The eraser flew in the direction that was exactly where Luo Qing was.

The sophon, now in its sixth dimension, seemed to have forgotten that the Wallfacer beside it was a mortal enemy. Instead, it stood close to the Wallfacer, equally wary, gazing into the distance.

The increasingly close scratches in his divine sense made Luo Qing tense. He stared intently at the direction of the void, and a quasi-immortal artifact appeared in his hand without him even noticing.

This is the only quasi-immortal artifact in his possession. Unlike the [Cloud Sword], which has been upgraded to the pseudo-immortal artifact level, this quasi-immortal artifact is his genuine life-saving equipment, and it was at the quasi-immortal artifact level from the beginning.

Tomoko stared at the ultimate spirit sword that exuded a terrifying aura, lost in thought.

"What are you looking at?" the near-immortal sword cursed. "If you look again, I'll chop you down."

Tomoko immediately withdrew her observing gaze.

Luo Qing ignored the sword and the sophon; he was now recalling the conversation Ding Yi had with him: "According to special relativity, objects with mass cannot reach the speed of light; those that can reach the speed of light are massless objects, such as the sophon."

So, does that cube-shaped 'eraser' have mass?

When an eraser travels at the speed of light, the image of the object appears distorted and deformed because light takes time to travel. Simultaneously, according to the time dilation and length contraction effects of relativity, the object's length in the direction of motion contracts to zero, and time seems to stop. However, because the eraser is black, it absorbs all light and reflects no light at all.

So until the 'eraser' reached Luo Qing, Luo Qing's vision failed to detect it. But the moment it reached Luo Qing, because it was moving at the speed of light, it occupied Luo Qing's entire field of vision in a very short time.

This brought an extremely strong visual impact, but because of the premonition of the divine sense, Luo Qing was mentally prepared when this scene actually happened, but he was still startled by the blackness that rushed in front of him.

black.

So dark.

It's so dark...

This standard black cube instantly reduced its speed to 0 and came to a stop right under the Wallfacer's nose.

"Holy crap, what the hell is that! It's so dark."

These words were spoken by the near-immortal sword, which was clearly startled.

This cube, which is about 10 meters long, wide, and high, floats quietly in the void.

"Zhizi, are these your things?" Luo Qing asked.

【have no idea】

The three words were displayed on Zhizi's fully mirror-reflecting sphere, and this reply made Luo Qing's mood sink.

One person, one sword, one ball, and one box found themselves in a bizarre standoff.

"How about... Sword Master, I strike it with my sword?" the Quasi-Immortal Sword tentatively suggested.

Luo Qing's expression was strange. He neither agreed nor stopped it, because he really couldn't sense any 'intelligence' in the other party. Moreover, in his divine sense, this 10×10×10m cube space was completely untouched by his divine sense, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

It was as if this space had been taken away, completely disappearing. Behind it, the blinding brilliance of the sun could not illuminate any of the darkness; the black cube absorbed it all, completely engulfing all electromagnetic waves.

After more than ten seconds, Luo Qing felt his palms getting sweaty. He held the quasi-immortal artifact in his hand, but he didn't feel safe at all.

Luo Qing didn't even know if this thing had self-awareness or could communicate.

But the quasi-immortal artifact didn't care about any of that. It didn't believe that there was anything in this world without cultivators that could threaten it. It flew out of Luo Qing's palm, its sword tip pointing at the black box as it shouted, "Speak! Do you believe I can cut you down with one sword?"

The black box suddenly approached at the speed of light. The quasi-immortal sword tried to turn around and escape, but no matter how fast it was, how could it possibly be faster than the speed of light?

The black box was almost completely pressed against the tip of the sword.

The quasi-immortal sword couldn't stand this insult, so it immediately unleashed a sword aura. But strangely, the sword aura disappeared completely the moment it entered the black box. The next moment, the same sword aura was reflected from the black box and slashed back towards the direction from which it originated.

The quasi-immortal sword barely dodged its own sword energy. The sword energy, comparable to the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, quickly swept into the void. This sword energy would continue its journey into the boundless universe, and would pierce through the Kobo asteroid belt in 4750 years, and through the Oort cloud in 860000 years, before finally dissipating into the vast Milky Way galaxy.

The quasi-immortal artifact wanted to make another move, but Luo Qing pulled him back in time.

A black cube moving at the speed of light, ignoring attacks from those at the Tribulation Transcending stage—this was clearly an enemy that a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't handle. He could only hope that this creation, which seemed to be a creation of a third civilization, wasn't the 'Dark Forest' that MOSS was hinting at. If it were, then he was utterly doomed.

At the crucial moment, it was Zhizi's mirror sphere that popped up lines of information.

[The wall-facer is an 'ideal black body,' a theoretical object that completely absorbs all incident electromagnetic radiation without reflection, with an emissivity of 1. It follows Planck's radiation law, and its radiation intensity depends only on temperature.]

The 'ideal blackbody' was a theoretical concept in physics, but now, this theoretical concept has actually appeared.

The physical properties of an 'ideal blackbody' make it impossible to detect or attack in any way, unaffected by any microscopic or macroscopic influences. It can absorb any form of attack and reflect it back in a 1:1 ratio.

So, is this how one's divine consciousness is erased?
"What are you babbling about? It's just a spatial artifact." The Quasi-Immortal Sword said with great disdain.

“This doesn’t look like a spatial artifact based on the laws of space.” Luo Qing shook his head and reached out to recall the quasi-immortal sword.

The sophon continued: "Wallfacer, you can think of this as a massless cubic black hole. If this massless black hole, capable of traveling at the speed of light, intends to kill you, even if you collapse into a quantum state, you absolutely cannot escape unless your speed reaches the speed of light. It can devour everything. In the space where an ideal black body exists, even quantum tides will not occur. In other words, its location is an absolute vacuum, an absolute vacuum where even quantum ghosts cannot exist."

While Zhizi was explaining to Luo Qing, this ideal black body seemed to have finished thinking. It didn't 'look' at Zhizi or Luo Qing, but instead bypassed the Wallfacer and flew towards Earth at the speed of light.

The sophon shrank back to its eleven-dimensional microscopic state and caught up with it at the speed of light.

Luo Qing also gave chase without hesitation, but he soon realized that he couldn't catch up at all.

'That's his mother.'

Luo Qing cursed inwardly, realizing that his escape speed was too slow in this vast universe.

If you don't reach the speed of light, you'll remain an ant.

Fortunately, the ideal black body was still within Luo Qing's range of divine sense, and its target was very clear: the direction of Earth. Luo Qing could lock onto its location and would catch up sooner or later.

But soon, Luo Qing realized something was wrong; the target of this ideal black body seemed to be...

Einstein's Equatorial Accelerator?

About a tenth of a second later, the ideal black body moving at the speed of light fell into Kampala. The silky thin protective array was burst like a real bubble. The White Emperor's Holy Sword tried to get up to intercept it but couldn't react in time.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of world leaders and numerous scientists, the ideal blackbody touched the tunnel.

Luo Qing watched all of this unfold, powerless to stop it.

The moment they touched it, the entire Einstein Equatorial Accelerator suddenly disappeared from Luo Qing's perception.

It disappeared instantly without any transition.

Luo Qing's eyes widened.

The sophon was also stunned, because there were two more sophons in the tunnel interfering with the high-energy particles that were about to run, and those two sophons also disappeared instantly.

The equator is spotless, with nothing left behind.
