“You should ask Black Pearl about this. As long as she agrees, I won’t object.”
“Ginger.”
The Ginger Jelly Algae Worms nodded. It was perceptive enough to know that further entanglement was useless, and began to ponder how to persuade the future Poseidon to accept it as a subordinate.
Did it have any advantages over its kin?
Mingxi’s attention was no longer on the Ginger Jelly Algae °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° Worms.
Because the surrounding seawater suddenly fluctuated wildly, wave after wave, and the starting point of the fluctuation was precisely the large hole connecting the two spaces.
Not long ago, Chiyu finally struggled to climb to the highest point of Dunyi Tower. After careful observation, it set its sights on a piece of red refined iron-like metal at the very top.
It touched that ‘refined iron’, holding onto a sliver of hope, trying to send it into the Time Realm for storage.
It failed.
Although it wasn't unexpected, there was still some disappointment.
Is the King’s cheat not working against this Dunyi Tower?
It's fine.
The path of the strongest Guardian Knight should not involve shortcuts.
Chiyu’s character was firm and decisive. Upon realizing that it couldn't easily take any object from the Dunyi Tower, it had already made a decision!
It wanted to complete its evolution in this dimensional ascension space!
Steel Body.
Its body rapidly completed full metallization.
“Bang.”
The metal body shattered with a crash.
It turned into a pool of flowing liquid.
Metal, of course, could also be liquid metal.
The flowing Chiyu quickly enveloped a corner of that bright red ‘refined iron’.
As a product condensed from the universe's purest steel-attribute energy, every component of the Dunyi Tower was real, existing metal.
And as metals of extreme attributes, they also possessed different properties such as hardness, ductility, electrical and thermal conductivity.
Steel-attribute Transcendent creatures, according to their own characteristics and needs, would usually consume suitable metals in their diet.
The piece of ‘refined iron’ Chiyu had just chosen was what it felt was most suitable for itself at this stage.
It should be able to support its evolution!
“Gulp, gulp...”
The liquid undulated, making sounds of swallowing and digestion.
The ‘refined iron’ was disappearing inch by inch, transforming into power belonging to Chiyu.
Actually, it could eat metal in its original form, but gnawing on the ground was very ungraceful, and the speed was slow.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
As the devoured portion of the ‘refined iron’ grew larger, the Dunyi Tower began to tremble and shake.
The Dunyi Tower was like a lion that had detected a flea on its body and was forced awake, letting out an angry roar.
It wanted to expel Chiyu!
At the same time, the large hole connecting the ocean and the dimensional ascension space began to change.
The outermost lines of reality began to move, and the spatial connection surface contracted inward.
Not only was the connection surface shrinking, but the internal space was also contracting. The unknown floating dark matter within the space seemed to have turned into TNT.
Explosion.
Explosions in patches.
Although the two spaces were in different dimensions, due to the existence of the connection surface, the surrounding seawater was also affected at this time.
The ocean surged, its momentum astonishing.
“Chiyu, come back quickly!”
Mingxi realized that the dimensional ascension space was about to close, and if Chiyu didn’t come back, it could disappear with the Dunyi Tower at any time.
“As!”
Hearing her master’s voice, Black Pearl, who was still steadily lying outside the hole despite the surrounding tumultuous waves, quickly shouted along.
They didn’t know that Chiyu, in the dimensional ascension space, actually couldn't hear sounds from the outside, but it naturally understood that this space was about to close.
It had to leave before the space completely closed!
But—
“Not enough!”
“Still not enough!”
Chiyu used all its might, mobilizing every cell in its body, firmly adhering to its food, disregarding ‘dining etiquette’, fully immersing itself, and accelerating its eating speed.
Seeing that Chiyu still showed no movement, Mingxi broke out in a cold sweat.
The spatial connection surface was only two meters in diameter!
At the rate of the spatial hole’s contraction, it would completely close in less than five minutes!
She quickly released the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform, replaced it with two brand new energy crystals, and then shouted to Black Pearl:
“Black Pearl, Rainbow Bubble.”
Although poseidon's rest was powerful, providing both defense and oxygen in the seawater, its inability to be controlled and moved was always inconvenient.
At times like this, the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform was more effective.
Black Pearl reacted quickly, spitting out a string of bubbles at the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform.
“Pop pop pop pop...”
The Rainbow Bubbles nested one after another, protecting the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform as if it had an extra golden bell shield.
Mingxi did not immediately jump onto the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform.
The more urgent, the calmer.
She hadn't forgotten that both the Rainbow Bubble and the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform’s shield had shattered when they sank earlier.
Although it was impossible to determine if their breakage was due to the Frozen Salt Lake or some other reason, it was certain that this place was very dangerous.
Mingxi manipulated the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform, which was covered by twelve layers of Rainbow Bubble, to leave the protective range of poseidon's rest.
Eight seconds later.
“Pop.”
The outermost Rainbow Bubble shattered.
Fifteen seconds later.
Another bubble shattered.
Clearly, as Black Pearl grew stronger, her Rainbow Bubble also became stronger.
“Does one Rainbow Bubble last about seven or eight seconds?”
No.
The third one lasted less than six seconds.
Mingxi also noticed that the two energy crystals on the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform were being consumed at a faster than usual rate.
The outermost Rainbow Bubble bore the greatest water pressure or toxin erosion, but the other bubbles and the shield also shared a part, with the outermost layers bearing the most.
Mingxi: “Black Pearl, add two more layers of bubbles for me to see.”
Black Pearl obediently spat out two bubbles and controlled them to cover the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform.
“Pop.”
The outermost layer still lasted eight seconds.
The second layer, seven seconds.
But the third layer only lasted four seconds.
Mingxi quickly calculated, “Black Pearl, can you maintain releasing one bubble every five seconds to cover the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform?”
With the Rainbow Bubble’s resistance, one bubble every five seconds should allow them to safely reach the edge of the hole.
Black Pearl tilted her head.
“As?”
Master, how much is five seconds?
Mingxi: “...”
As expected, she was still a baby.
Timing was too difficult for her.
“Jin.” Emerald Green spoke, indicating that it would control the timing.
“Good.”
Seeing the hole getting smaller and smaller, Mingxi dared not delay, and jumped onto the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform with Little Silver Flower and Emerald Green.
Black Pearl obediently retracted poseidon's rest.
“Jin.”
“Puff.”
“Pop.”
Mingxi focused intently, manipulating the Two-Worlds Rotation Platform to quickly approach the spatial connection surface.
At this time, the hole, which was originally about twenty meters, was now less than one meter.
“Pop pop pop...” fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The closer they got to the hole, affected by the spatial contraction, the faster the Rainbow Bubbles burst. Black Pearl no longer had the energy to be distracted, focusing entirely on spitting bubbles.
