Chapter 870: Void Raid |
Wang Pokong led the group for a considerable distance away from Nine Heavens before taking out a palm-sized shuttle.
The shuttle was thrown forward and transformed into a small spacecraft of less than ten zhang in size.
The spacecraft had an exquisite design and a simple appearance. It was far superior in all aspects compared to ordinary flying vessels used in the void. It possessed special functions and required special means to be crafted.
Notably, its speed alone surpassed that of a regular Primordial Spirit True Monarch's flying tool, which could be used in the extraterritorial void.
Wang Pokong led the group to board the spacecraft, and then he piloted it towards their destination.
The spacecraft turned into a streak of light and sped rapidly through the void.
Before Wang Pokong and his team took action, the Dali Dynasty had already sent scouts to thoroughly investigate the situation of the spatial channel.
The spatial channel built by the Extraterritorial Invaders was reconstructed based on the foundation of the Purple Gold Sect's spatial channel.
The key point of the spatial channel was located on the small world opened by the Purple Gold Sect in the past.
Meng Zhang had previously traveled to the small world of the Purple Gold Sect, but he had done so by directly teleporting through the spatial channel.
He had no specific knowledge of its exact location in the void.
The Dali Dynasty was truly extensive in its Divine Ability, having thoroughly investigated all the circumstances in advance, waiting for this team to launch the attack.
The speed of the spacecraft was extremely fast, and in the void, it appeared as a fleeting flash before disappearing.
Without this specially made spacecraft, even if Meng Zhang and the others traveled at their maximum speed with little rest, it would still take at least three to five months to reach the small world of the Purple Gold Sect.
In reality, considering the vastness of the void, the small world was not too far from the Grand Dust World.
According to the classification of the void's passages, this small world belonged to the sphere of influence of the Grand Dust World and could be considered a branch extending from it.
At first glance, the scenery in the extraterritorial void appeared monotonous, with nothing but darkness.
All around was emptiness, as if there was nothing there.
With slightly better vision, one could faintly see distant stars.
These stars seemed within reach, but with the speed of this spacecraft, it would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to reach them.
As for the other hidden parts within the void, due to the spacecraft's high speed, the people on board had no time to search slowly.
Meng Zhang looked out into the vast void, feeling somewhat absent-minded.
Once he reached the mid-stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, the Nine Heavens Refined Essence would no longer be useful for him. He would have to enter the void to search for pure jade inspiration for cultivation.
Of course, many early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivators had already ventured into the void.
If conditions allowed, early-stage Primordial Spirit cultivators could use pure jade inspiration for cultivation, which had better effects than the Nine Heavens Refined Essence.
This was Meng Zhang's first time venturing so far into the void.
In retrospect, he should thank the Dali Dynasty for giving him this opportunity, allowing him to adapt before venturing into the void alone.
True Monarch Wen Dong had been in and out of the extraterritorial void multiple times and had considerable experience. With the inheritance of the Dali Dynasty, his theoretical knowledge was even more abundant.
The days spent on the spacecraft were quite boring, and Meng Zhang couldn't tell if Wen Dong was deliberately showing off or trying to befriend everyone.
From time to time, he would introduce various situations in the void to everyone.Meng Zhang listened on the side, feeling that his horizons had broadened and gained a lot from the explanations. He had read many records about the extraterritorial void from some of Taiyi Sect's heritage before. Now, with True Monarch Wen Dong explaining it, it was like filling in the gaps, and he learned a lot.
After flying in the void for more than ten days and approaching their target, True Monarch Wen Dong stopped speaking and his expression turned serious. Although they had already assigned their respective tasks before departure, even the usually reticent Wang Pokong spoke a few more words and emphasized once again, making everyone take it more seriously. True Monarch Wen Dong added a few words after Wang Pokong finished.
The Dali Dynasty had strict military law and placed great importance on military achievements. This raid into the extraterritorial void was of utmost significance, affecting the overall situation. Everyone needed to be brave and not allow any signs of fear or evasion in battle. Those who contributed greatly would be rewarded, but those who made mistakes would be severely punished, and it might even affect the influence behind them. Everyone present was intelligent, so True Monarch Wen Dong didn't say much, just a few words, believing that everyone should understand.
As they were about to reach their destination, the speed of the spacecraft began to slow down. When the speed of the spacecraft lowered, it suddenly disappeared and completely merged into the extraterritorial void.
After the spacecraft turned invisible, everyone on board felt as if they were in another world, completely separated from the extraterritorial void.
Meng Zhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the profound foundation of the Dali Dynasty, evident from this small spacecraft. Even Taiyi Sect, let alone its neighboring Clever Machine Sect, probably didn't have the ability to build such a spacecraft.
The invisible spacecraft continued to advance, and occasionally, a few figures flew past in the surrounding void, shuttling back and forth. These were Fourth Rank powerhouses of the Demon and Spirit Clans, also known as Monster Kings or Spirit Kings. The upper echelons of both races were aware of the importance of this spatial channel, so they arranged strict defenses. Normally, the Monster Kings and Spirit Kings, who held high positions in their respective races and commanded a side, were now assigned to patrol the area.
The extraterritorial void was vast and boundless, with no obstructions.
Unless a Fifth Rank powerhouse, an existence equivalent to the Return to Emptiness realm of the Human Clan, took action, even the most stringent defense would inevitably have vulnerabilities.
As the spacecraft approached the small world, Meng Zhang and the others could clearly see its appearance.
It wasn't Meng Zhang's first time seeing this small world.
Outside the small world, numerous thick rays of light formed a giant net, shrouding the entire small world within it.
The spacecraft quickly flew into the net.
The spacecraft maneuvered skillfully within the net, not touching any of the rays of light.
Gracefully passing through the net, the spacecraft finally arrived at the edge of the small world.
At the edge of the small world, a group of Monster Kings and Spirit Kings continued to fly back and forth, diligently patrolling their duties.
"Take action," Wang Pokong commanded. The spacecraft suddenly became visible in the air, and then the twelve Primordial Spirit True Monarchs on board leaped out like tigers descending the mountain, pouncing towards the small world ahead.
