Chapter 3357: RiotEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chi, chi chi...
Complicated patterns once again appeared on the muddy ground.
A large magic array took shape in an instant.
With mental strength injected, the earth began to churn violently. Strips of spirit crystal raw ore were forcibly extracted from deep underground and floated up into the air.
"Bang! Bang bang bang!!!"
The smaller spirit crystal ores shattered instantly under the stimulation of the magic array, leaving only the larger, high-tier ores intact.
Seeing this, Adam immediately stepped forward and picked up the spirit crystal raw ores that kept being extracted from the ground under the magic array’s effect. He quickly stuffed them into burlap sacks, shuttling continuously between the real world and the spiritual world.
At the same time, in the church camp.
Bishop Dane stood before the window.
Something was wrong.
In just a few breaths, the spatial strength within the entire Thunder Basin showed an extremely abnormal fluctuation.
Even the psychic force that had been dissipating around the periphery of the Thunder Basin suddenly changed direction, all surging madly toward a single point at the basin’s center.
Something had happened.
"Someone! Report to church headquarters immediately! There’s an anomaly in the Thunder Basin!"
Dane waved his hand and ordered, "Everyone in the camp, prepare the troops! Follow me! Enter the Thunder Basin!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
When Dane led his team into the central region of the Thunder Basin, more than ten minutes had passed.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before their eyes.
"What is that?"
An oracle raised his head toward the sky, his voice trembling slightly.
Looking up, they saw that a massive dark vortex had formed in the air in the basin’s central region.
All the gathered clouds, lightning, spatial turbulence, and psychic force of the Land of Thunder were being frantically torn apart and devoured by the vortex.
Bishop Dane stared at the spatial vortex, his expression grave to the extreme.
How could this be?
The power of that vortex was terrifying, completely covering the sky above the Land of Thunder’s center.
He had no idea what was happening in the basin’s center and couldn’t determine the cause of the vortex’s formation.
If he rushed in recklessly, even he might not make it out alive.
But if he didn’t go in, and this power lost control and exploded...
And then there was Zane.
Zane had led a team into the central area of the Thunder Basin to investigate, but they had yet to return.
With Zane’s personality, he would have immediately come back to report if he’d noticed anything unusual.
Had something happened to them?
Dane lifted his gaze toward the roiling clouds high above.
No!
His expression changed drastically.
The black vortex in the sky suddenly began to collapse inward rapidly, releasing a deep, trembling boom that shook one’s heart.
Fine, twisting spatial rifts and pale lightning arcs crackled and flickered wildly along the vortex’s surface.
This was not normal energy flow.
It was a sign of losing control.
It was going to explode!
Dane’s heart jumped as he shouted, "Go! Everyone, evacuate immediately! Raise the defensive barrier! Withdraw from the Thunder Basin at once!"
...
In the spiritual world.
Malachi had completely calmed down, secretly observing Adam’s every move.
The surrounding spatial rifts were undergoing massive mutation, the black cracks twisting and contracting violently, releasing chi-chi sounds of purple lightning arcs.
So what exactly was that man trying to do?
By his estimation, according to the church’s patrol schedule, they should have already sent people to inspect by now.
They should be arriving soon.
Malachi stared at Adam, who was still transporting ores through the passage, a glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
The spirit crystal ores that man was gathering were becoming higher and higher in quality!
Hmm?
What was going on? Was he not leaving?
Adam stood before the pile of ores.
A wave of shadow power gathered the spirit runestones and spirit crystal raw ores scattered on the ground, lifting them into the air.
A dark mesh formed around the ores, locking them in midair and condensing them into a massive round sphere.
Whoosh!
The ore sphere flew rapidly away together with Adam.
Malachi frowned deeply.
He was taking the ores away?
Could there be another teleportation node nearby?
A few minutes later, Malachi saw Adam returning alone.
The pile of ores was gone.
Malachi shouted sharply, "Let me go! The patrol squad is already on its way! This is your last chance!"
Adam glanced at him coldly, as if looking at a dead man, then raised his hand and pressed forward in the air.
A small magic array quickly condensed in midair.
A condensed magic array in the void?
Malachi’s pupils shrank again.
The opponent’s strength had once again exceeded his understanding.
"Who are you? What exactly are you trying to do!?"
Adam did not answer. Only when the alchemy magic array was complete did he turn his back and walk toward the spatial node, disappearing completely into it.
Huh?
A terrible feeling suddenly rose in Malachi’s chest. He stared fixedly at the magic array before him.
As the array continued to flow, the spatial rifts began to contract in a strange pattern. Psychic force surged rapidly, and the rifts were being slowly pulled toward the magic array.
A small spatial vortex?
Could it be...
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Malachi’s forehead.
Could that man be trying to use spatial strength to destroy this entire domain?!
No!
Malachi struggled with all his might to break free.
But it was too late.
The shadow restraints on his body showed no sign of loosening at all.
Wait!
Suddenly, Malachi sensed several holy powers approaching from above!
They’re here!
The church patrol team!
Because Malachi had not returned for a long time, the church had activated its emergency protocol, dispatching a team of over twenty people to investigate.
Unfortunately, Malachi had been sealed by power and was located right at the center of the spatial fluctuation. His aura wasn’t detected by the patrol team immediately.
The church’s team entered the periphery of the domain and instantly sensed the terrifying surge of strength coming from the central rift area, frowning deeply.
What was happening?
Before they could proceed to investigate, their expressions suddenly changed.
Not good!
Buzz...!
"Watch out!"
A terrifying surge of strength erupted from the central vortex, radiating outward in all directions. A visible spatial fluctuation wave spread out, sweeping toward them violently.
"Barrier!"
The church members combined their strength to raise a spiritual barrier. The dozens of accompanying soul warrior spirits even threw themselves in front of the barrier condensed by the oracles to block the first wave of the blast!
"Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!!"
Spatial strength completely exploded!
The first wave of soul warrior spirits blocking the outer layer shattered instantly!
The holy barrier formed by the combined power of the high-tier oracles trembled violently under the impact of the spiritual space waves, as if it could collapse at any moment!
The oracles’ bodies grew faint as their mental strength was rapidly depleted!
The shockwave continued for more than ten seconds.
Boom!!
When the ripples finally subsided, everyone’s tense spirits reached their limit, and the spiritual barrier shattered completely.
They had survived—barely.
The dozen or so oracles let out a sigh of relief in unison. Their spiritual bodies had grown extremely faint, several collapsing backward on the spot, losing consciousness as their spirit phantoms nearly dissipated.
Someone glanced fearfully toward the center of the spatial rift that had caused the explosion.
After the blast, most of the spatial rifts had already disappeared, but the remaining few were still dangerously unstable, capable of causing another explosion at any moment.
In this state, it was absolutely not suitable to continue investigating.
"Quick, rescue team, return to the passage immediately."
"Yes, sir!"
