Chapter 402 Obtaining Void Power
The tremors from the bronze golem crawling out of the fire caused Jiang Ye's tactical goggles to flash blue again. He tore off the wrist guards corroded by the blood mist and threw them to the ground.
Ye Shuli's back was pressed tightly against his burning mechanical spine, and she could clearly hear the hum of the energy core overload.
34; There was a thermal reaction at the three o'clock position. 34; Jiang Ye threw out magnetic chains that entangled the three puppets; 34; These things are even more troublesome than the drunkards of Eternal Night Alley. 34;
Ye Shuli drew her fingers across the void key, and the star map fragments condensed into an ice crossbow in her palm.
She leaned back to avoid the bronze giant axe, and the crossbow bolt pierced the puppet's forehead with pinpoint accuracy: "The last time you said that was when you were being chased and beaten by the tavern owner?"
Nineteen talismans burning with life essence suddenly formed a magic array.
The red-haired man leaped up, stepping on the bronze statue, the blood mist gushing from his severed arm condensing into a ghostly claw.
Ye Shuli spun around and threw out seven ice shards, but they instantly vaporized upon contact with the blood mist.
Jiang Ye's thrusters spewed out a final burst of blue flame, dragging her as she crashed into two puppets before barely managing to dodge.
&34;They fed the earth fire with their life essence. &34;Ye Shuli wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth, suddenly staring at the bronze rust on the puppet's joints, &34;Jiang Ye, do you remember the steam core we dismantled in the black market? &34;
Jiang Ye understood and threw out three electromagnetic grenades. The bronze fragments that were shaken off by the explosions were enveloped by Ye Shuli's icy mist.
Her modern chemical knowledge allowed her to instantly calculate the sodium content. The violent explosion caused by the ice crossbow hitting the ground fire sent seven explorers flying—the hydrogen-oxygen explosion produced by sodium meeting water burst into blue flames in the fantasy world.
The female cultivator from the void appeared at this time.
Her dark skirt swept across the burning bronze wreckage, and her moon-shaped blade sliced through the aftershocks of the explosion, aiming straight for Ye Shuli's throat.
Jiang Ye's magnetic chains collided with the moon wheel, sparks flying, and the tactical goggles reflected the female cultivator's sinister gaze fixed on Ye Shuli.
&34; The Key to the Void is not to be touched by mortals. &34; The female cultivator flicked silver threads from her fingertips, which wrapped around Jiang Ye's wrist, her tone sweet and cloying, &34; Young man, why don't you come over to your sister's side? &34;
Ye Shuli suddenly grabbed the heat dissipation valve on the back of Jiang Ye's neck. The red light from the overloaded mecha core made her pupils look eerie: "Excuse me, please move aside." She pulled Jiang Ye upside down over the female cultivator's head, and the magnetic storm activated as they fell blasted the three attacking puppets into a shower of bronze.
Jiang Ye touched Ye Shuli's icy hand amidst the flying copper shavings, and his tactical goggles suddenly detected an anomaly at the seven o'clock position.
The female cultivator's moon wheel blade split into twelve pieces, hanging behind Ye Shuli, who was focused on dealing with the blood skeletons summoned by the red-haired man.
Jiang Ye's tactical goggles suddenly lit up with a red warning light, but the cold light reflected from the twelve moon-shaped blades reacted even faster than he did.
The mechanical spine emitted a piercing metallic scraping sound. He instinctively twisted his waist and pushed Ye Shuli towards the burning pile of bronze puppets. His own alloy shield, which had just taken shape, was shattered into pieces by the Moon Wheel Blade.
"Fool!" Ye Shuli's ice crossbow transformed into a defensive array in mid-air, but she could only watch helplessly as three moon-shaped blades pierced through Jiang Ye's left shoulder.
The blue light from the tactical goggles flickered, and she could see that the silver threads were not weapons—they were nerve sensor lines connecting the female cultivator's fingertips.
The female cultivator in the void suddenly let out a silvery laugh, the moon wheel blade hovering over Jiang Ye's heart: "Young master's blood is hotter than earth fire." As she spoke, the blood-stained silver threads continuously drew away Jiang Ye's spiritual power, and the dark red patterns climbed up the frame of the tactical goggles along the mechanical spine.
Ye Shuli's pupils exploded with icy blue light, and the Void Key melted into liquid in her palm.
As the female cultivator's fifth Moon Wheel Blade pierced Jiang Ye's ribs, she suddenly grabbed the bleeding silver thread. Modern chemical formulas and spiritual power from her dantian erupted simultaneously—the violent reaction of sodium metal with water transformed into a deep blue fire dragon under the blessing of spiritual power.
&34;You use him as a power bank? &34;Ye Shuli dragged the burning silver wire across the bronze ruins, each step leaving a lotus flower of intertwined ice and fire on the ground.
When the female cultivator realized it, the reversed spiritual energy had already exploded into ice shards within her meridians. "Do you know what overload protection is?"
Jiang Ye coughed up blood and laughed, his tactical goggles reflecting the ice crystals that had formed on Ye Shuli's hair.
He pressed on his bleeding wound, but used magnetic chains to block the female cultivator's retreat: "Don't let her fierce appearance fool you, her hands were shaking when she changed my mecha battery last time..."
Suddenly, a pitch-black crack appeared in the void.
All the burning earth fire instantly froze into ice crystals, and the explorers who were fighting suddenly knelt down on the ground.
Ye Shuli's ice crossbow was still pressed against the female cultivator's throat when she discovered that her spiritual power was being forcibly suppressed back into her dantian by some force.
"The farce should end now." A man wearing a bronze mask stepped out of the void, the star map flowing on his cloak resonating with Ye Shuli's Void Key.
As the leader's gaze swept over Jiang Ye's bleeding mechanical spine, all the damaged parts suddenly and automatically reassembled. "If you don't obtain the power of the void within two hours, you'll remain forever in the crack."
Ye Shuli grabbed Jiang Ye's still-healing mechanical arm and jumped into the crevice, followed by the unwilling screams of the female cultivator behind her.
The moment the feeling of weightlessness washed over her, she suddenly shoved the ice crossbow into Jiang Ye's arms: "Hold on tight, this thing is more reliable than a parachute."
The void storm was more unpredictable than expected.
Within the purple thunderstorm, golden quicksand swirled. Jiang Ye's newly repaired tactical goggles flashed data wildly: "There's a spatial fold at the ten o'clock position!" Before he could finish speaking, Ye Shuli had already dragged him into the suddenly appearing rainbow vortex.
Remember the ocean current map from high school geography class? Ye Shuli conjured an ice crystal compass at her fingertips; modern meteorological knowledge, activated by spiritual energy, transformed into a three-dimensional star map. The storm's eye's trajectory conformed to a Fibonacci spiral... Jiang Ye!
The bodies of three explorers suddenly crashed down from the crack overhead.
Ye Shuli flipped over to shield Jiang Ye with her body, and the protective shield fired from the ice crossbow was cracked by the corpse.
She wiped away the blood splattered on her eyelashes, then suddenly sneered at the void: "Following so closely, are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
As Jiang Ye's magnetic chains shredded the sneak attacking weapons, Ye Shuli had already calculated the coordinates of the seventh spatial fold.
The instant she pulled Jiang Ye into the milky-white vortex, all twenty pursuing spiritual attacks were swallowed up by the distorted space.
"This is it." Ye Shuli suddenly stopped, the Void Key melting into liquid silver in her palm.
The black cube floating before me was slowly rotating in a Klein bottle structure. A strange resonance occurred between modern physics and my inner energy; "Give me three minutes."
The first explorers to break through the storm were covered in blood from the spatial rifts.
The mechanical claw installed on the red-haired man's severed arm had just popped out when Jiang Ye's electromagnetic grenade blasted it into parts.
Despite the constant warnings about his spiritual energy depletion through his tactical goggles, he smiled and wiped the blood off them: "Have you ever heard of a portable power bank becoming a spirit?"
Ye Shuli's hands were rapidly tapping on the surface of the cube.
As the seventh explorer broke through the defenses, she suddenly plunged her ice crossbow upside down into the cube's gap: "Do you know the critical mass principle of uranium-235?" In the intense light of the void's power erupting, her hair fluttered, making her appear like a deity. "Thank you all for helping me reach the energy threshold."
The explorers were horrified to discover that the spiritual energy was flowing in reverse.
The swirling ice shards around Ye Shuli absorbed the energy of the entire void. Jiang Ye seized the opportunity to stuff the last three electromagnetic grenades into the red-haired man's mechanical spine: "Charging service, five-star review!"
As the black cube completely merged into Ye Shuli's brow, all the void rifts suddenly began to collapse.
Jiang Ye embraced the exhausted Ye Shuli and leaped towards the final spatial node. Her pale smile was reflected in his tactical goggles: "The insulators you prepared..."
Wrapped in three layers of nano-protective film, Jiang Ye's unfolded alloy wings brushed past the edge of the collapsing space, and the Void Key in his arms suddenly emitted a strange resonance.
As they fell out of the void rift, the star map on the bronze mask was flashing with a quantum entanglement-like light with the key.
Ye Shuli's fingertips still held the lingering power of the void, but she noticed something unusual about the starry sky reflected in Jiang Ye's tactical goggles—the constellations, when connected, were clearly the chemical molecular structure diagrams she had last seen before her transmigration.
The Void Key suddenly beeped, and the two of them turned to look at the western horizon, where a giant bronze gate, identical to the leader's mask, was slowly emerging.
