Chapter 403 Aftermath and New Waves
The space in front of the bronze gate twisted into a vortex, and Ye Shuli staggered and crushed two floating crystals before she could barely stand.
The nano-protective suit cracked into a spiderweb pattern under the collapse effect. As Jiang Ye reached out to support her lower back, the readings on the tactical goggles were being updated rapidly—the concentration of spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius had plummeted by 27%.
"This is much more exciting than a holographic game." Jiang Ye wiped away the beads of blood seeping from the tip of her nose with his sleeve, and as his knuckles brushed against his tactical belt, he silently activated the emergency medical module.
Three miniature repair needles were injected into Ye Shuli's body along her spine, and the void runes that appeared behind her ears immediately dimmed by three points.
The leader of the Void Organization walked in on a floating bronze gear, twelve star trails flowing across his dark gold mask and forming a chain shape.
Ye Shuli noticed that there was dark matter resembling dried blood congealed at the meshing points of the gears, and her stomach twitched reflexively—the muscle memory remaining in this body was more acute than she had imagined.
&34；纯度92%的虚空共鸣。&34；首领的声音像砂纸摩擦钛合金板，&34；但能量收束槽存在0.8秒延迟。&34；他抬手召出全息投影，正是叶书璃吸收黑色立方体时灵力流动的频谱图。
The blue waveband, representing the principles of modern electromagnetism, and the crimson spiritual patterns, representing ancient cultivation methods, are tearing each other apart at the seventh node.
The red-haired man dragged his smoking mechanical spine out of the rubble, the broken hydraulic pipes spewing out bluish-gray mist: "I told you she used forbidden technology!" Behind him, seventeen explorers simultaneously activated their psionic amplifiers, the beeping of the detection rings exploding at Ye Shuli's temples.
Jiang Ye suddenly whistled off-key.
The tactical eyepieces projected a holographic image of the starry sky covering the entire battlefield, and the constellation connections marked as chemical bonds formed a three-dimensional model of the Void Key. "Want to guess?" he said, twirling a fragment of an electromagnetic grenade between his fingers. "When modern quantum mechanics meets ancient astrology..."
Before she finished speaking, the void power in Ye Shuli's palm suddenly collapsed into a dark vortex.
She used the situation to her advantage, letting the two energies clash, and using the reaction force to guide the locking frequency of the detection ring into the earth's veins.
Frost instantly covered the ground within a radius of 100 meters, and the spiritual power amplifiers of the six explorers overloaded and exploded.
&34; The test content. &34; She tossed aside the stray hairs covered in ice crystals, and the Void Key vibrated against her chest, producing the hum of a bronze chime.
Those seemingly chaotic energy ripples are reorganizing into a protective matrix along the nanowires that Jiang Ye had laid in advance.
The star-track chain on the leader's mask suddenly broke in three sections.
Thirty-six bronze prisms appeared behind him, each reflecting a disintegrating phantom of Ye Shuli. Using the power of the void, he opened the bronze door; the light refracted by the prisms formed a countdown on the ground; before the moon's orbit shifted.
The explorers instantly split into three groups and surrounded the area.
The red-haired man's modified mechanical arm ejected a psionic jammer, which was ignited by the residual charge of the electromagnetic lightning that Jiang Ye had previously inserted into his spine.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Shuli condensed the power of the void into an ice-shard whip. Wherever the tip of the whip swept, the star map on the bronze door began to rotate in reverse.
&34; Insulators, get ready! &34; She suddenly threw three ice spikes towards the southeast.
The nanocapsules that Jiang Ye threw simultaneously exploded in mid-air, and the pre-arranged protective membrane formed a funnel-shaped force field.
The instant the power of the void became quantum entangled with the bronze gate, the spiritual energy detectors worn by everyone simultaneously displayed garbled codes.
The leader suddenly raised his hand and froze time and space.
He walked on the still ice spikes to Ye Shuli, his fingertip hovering half an inch between her eyebrows: "You have tampered with the Void Contract." Dark matter seeped from the cracks in the mask, but was neutralized by a fluorescent blue substance when it touched her skin—the rare earth element mixed in with the nano-repair fluid that Jiang Ye had injected beforehand.
The moment the countdown reached zero, the shockwave from the massive bronze gate swung open, sending half of the explorers flying.
Ye Shuli grabbed Jiang Ye's tactical belt and slid back seven zhang, her heels carving out steaming furrows in the ground.
The tactical goggles showed that the two energies within her body had finally resonated, and the beeping of the Void Key turned into a Bluetooth pairing notification sound.
"The test is over." The leader's voice cracked for the first time, and a star map from Jiang Ye's tactical goggles suddenly appeared on a bronze prism behind him.
Before anyone could react, the female cultivator from the Void Organization, dressed in a moon-white ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), suddenly crushed the jade pendant at her waist.
The detection device she had hidden in her wide sleeves was now flashing red light at the location of Jiang Ye's heart.
The gale-force winds whipping up the female cultivator's moon-white skirt from the void rift whipped up her skirt, and the jade shards she held between her fingers reflected spiderweb-like spots of light on Jiang Ye's chest.
Just as Ye Shuli was about to raise her hand, an energy overload warning suddenly popped up on her tactical goggles—the two energies that had just been forcibly fused were now rampaging through her meridians.
"Sister," Jiang Ye suddenly yanked off his tactical belt, swinging it in an arc. The metal buckle precisely knocked away three fragments of the jade pendant that had turned into hidden weapons. "Your tracking device is too old." He grinned, pointing to the flashing blue dot on his tactical vest. "The latest nano trackers are all implanted subcutaneously."
Seven bronze bells slid out from the female cultivator's wide sleeves, their clasps coated with dark purple venom: "You think she can really pass the final test? The sound of the bells, refracted through the bronze gate, forms visible sonic arrows. The backlash from the Void Contract will make her..."
"Will it turn me into a quantum ghost?" Ye Shuli suddenly interrupted, pressing her left hand on the alarm on Jiang Ye's tactical vest.
The nano-repair fluid traveled along the skin where the two were in contact, forcibly correcting the disordered fluctuations of his spiritual meridians. "Excuse me, you're blocking the countdown."
Suddenly, the star map on the bronze door projected an hourglass-shaped light and shadow, and three cracks appeared in the dark gold mask of the Void Organization leader.
Jiang Ye grabbed Ye Shuli's wrist with his backhand, and the iris recognition system on his tactical goggles lit up green: "Dual mode activated." A fragment of electromagnetic mine he flicked from his fingertip formed a ring-shaped barrier around them. "Just so you know, if the double suicide mechanism is triggered later..."
"Shut up." Suddenly, the void runes behind Ye Shuli's ear surged, twisting the incoming sonic arrow into a parabola.
Using Jiang Ye's shoulder, she flipped through the air, the nanowires weaving an insulating net from the sparks from her combat boots, perfectly catching the poisonous mist thrown out by the female cultivator.
The leader raised his hand, freezing the impending melee.
Thirty-six bronze prisms formed a teleportation array, and the energy flow surging from the void rifts swept everyone into the distorted space.
Ye Shuli felt the LCD screen of the tactical goggles displaying snowflake patterns, and the locator Jiang Ye had placed in her palm was getting hot—it was a dimensional anchor modified from the shell of an electromagnetic mine.
The test: The leader hovered in the center of the void storm's eye, dark matter forming a judgment platform beneath his feet. He had to survive the annihilation tide for three hours without using void power. From the spatial rift behind him came the sound of crystals shattering, and five semi-transparent void storm sprites tore through the dimensional barrier.
The red-haired explorer suddenly burst into laughter: "My modified anti-psychic armor has finally come in handy!" He lifted the protective cover of the mechanical spine, and dark purple energy fluid flowed into the exoskeleton through hydraulic pipes.
Other explorers activated their life-saving artifacts, and the bronze bells and jade pendants collided, creating a jarring resonance.
Ye Shuli quickly scanned the battlefield environment.
The tactical eyepiece marks seven energy turbulences, and nanowires automatically weave into climbing ropes inside the cuff.
Jiang Ye suddenly bumped her shoulder, and the core of the electromagnetic lightning hidden in his palm flashed with Morse code light—the southeast crystal cluster was conductive.
The first wave of annihilation came without warning.
The Void Storm Sprite transformed into a streak of light and shattered two floating rocks, the flying chips drawing blood on Ye Shuli's cheek.
She leaped onto the inverted stalactite using Jiang Ye's supporting hand, and the nano climbing rope became entangled in the Storm Sprite's transparent tail fin.
&34; Watch out for the deflection! &34; Jiang Ye's electromagnetic grenade exploded into a magnetic storm around the Pokémon.
Ye Shuli used the recoil to swing to the back of the crystal cluster. The tactical goggles showed that the temperature of the elf cores was breaking through the critical value—they were actually absorbing the malicious emotions of the spectators.
The female cultivator suddenly crushed the bronze bell.
The sonic interference caused Ye Shuli's climbing rope to suddenly malfunction, and in the instant of her fall, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Ye being entangled by three explorers.
The storm sprite's claws grazed the back of her neck, and fluorescent blue blood seeped from the tear in her nano-protective suit—the repair fluid that had been injected earlier was taking effect.
"Have you had enough fun?" Ye Shuli suddenly released all the climbing ropes.
The moment she was in freefall, the compressed air bladder in her tactical belt was activated, and the artificial airflow blew her toward the southeast crystal cluster.
During the chase, the five storm sprites crashed into an electrified crystal pillar, and their translucent bodies twisted into a pretzel shape.
The red-haired explorer's mechanical arm suddenly overloaded and started smoking: "She deliberately lured them into crashing into the energy nodes!" The modified armor's heat dissipation vents emitted blue smoke, which instead became the storm sprites' new target.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Shuli wrapped nanowires around the tip of the crystal cluster to create a simple electromagnetic trap.
As the second wave of annihilation tide swept in, carrying fragments of space, Ye Shuli was using the force of gravity to kick away the protective shield of an explorer.
The storm sprites started fighting amongst themselves due to electromagnetic interference, with two of them even beginning to devour each other.
The void runes behind her ears suddenly heated up—this was the rare earth powder that Jiang Ye had buried in the soles of her combat boots reacting.
"Thirty seconds left!" Jiang Ye's voice pierced through the turbulent energy flow.
He had somehow climbed to the top of the tallest crystal pillar, and the countdown projected through his tactical goggles hovered above the entire battlefield.
Ye Shuli suddenly pulled open her collar to cool down, revealing an old scar on her collarbone—a burn mark left from the last time she used modern technology to combine with ancient methods.
The moment the five storm sprites pounced at the same time, she flung the nanowires toward the crystal pillar where Jiang Ye was.
A strong current was conducted along the crystal cluster to form an electromagnetic network, freezing the elves half an inch from the tip of her nose.
As the countdown reached zero, the entire void rift trembled and burst forth with blue light.
The final annihilation tide swept across the battlefield, shattering the leader's mask completely.
Ye Shuli knelt on one knee, panting, and saw that the fluorescent paint on Jiang Ye's tactical vest had been scratched into a smiley face pattern.
The spectators were either lying down or kneeling, but the female cultivator in the moon-white dress was still standing, her jade pendant shattered into dust.
The remaining half of the Void Storm Elf's tail fin suddenly twitched and stood up, and blood-red patterns appeared on the surface of the crystal.
Ye Shuli felt an abnormal tremor in the space as she braced her hands on the ground. The alarm sound from her tactical goggles was drowned out by a high-frequency hissing sound—the energy flows that should have dissipated were re-aggregating.
