Chapter 2591 Unreachable 1
The space distorted the moment he clenched his fist, and he vanished from that space.
He flickered in mid-air like a point of light, each time shifting to a distance of five kilometers.
The Lost World was vast, and it kept flashing as it moved at high speed according to the coordinates given by Lu Keran.
Even he spent a long time finding that coordinate point.
He had reached the vicinity of that "skyline".
For an ordinary person, it would just look like a needle in the distance, hidden deep in the fog, separated by the sea, the desert, and the ruins of a city—it just seems very far away.
But in Zhang Yi's view, it was not as simple as just being far away.
That distance was clearly artificially stretched!
He took another step forward.
A ring of extremely fine refraction appeared in the spatial ripples.
He raised his hand and touched the refracted surface, as if touching heated glass, his fingertips were gently flicked away.
It was as if an invisible spatial barrier was blocking his way.
"interesting."
A burning light flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes. Was it the core of a lost civilization?
What secrets does that place hold?
He flew forward a little bit more.
But he continued forward, and no matter how he traversed space, he did not get any closer to that distant and enormous horizon.
It felt like hundreds of kilometers apart, but the horizon line connected to the sky.
It was a tall tower, a distant Tower of Babel.
"Is that the core of the entire Martian world?"
Zhang Yi squinted as he searched for traces of spatial folding, following the method Ling had taught him.
He sensed something unusual about that area, but with his power, he was unable to get close.
Imagine you're walking forward on a conveyor belt, but the conveyor belt is moving backward. The two forces collide, and in the end, you only move forward a tiny bit, like a fingernail.
Zhang Yi frowned.
He doesn't believe in superstitions.
This time, he simply activated a high-level spatial teleportation, his entire figure completely becoming ethereal, turning into an extremely thin spatial tangent, as if he had jumped from point A to point B out of thin air.
But this time, when he "jumped" out, the scenery in front of him was still the same.
It's still that same weathered, cracked metal land, still that abandoned mechanical city nestled among sand dunes in the distance, still that towering skyscraper that's always ahead, always out of reach.
A hint of surprise finally flashed in his eyes.
"There is a huge spatial barrier here!"
Lu Keran's voice emerged from his shadow again, but this time her tone was not just excited, but also somewhat incredulous.
Zhang Yi hovered in mid-air, subconsciously reaching out to support his chin.
“If the space is folded up to form an inaccessible barrier, then it will be very difficult to deal with.”
He didn't believe it and tried again.
This time, he didn't simply fly forward. Instead, he spread out all the myriad things in the world on the spot, peeling away the layers of this space's structure, using dimensional gates to collide with spatial barriers, and attempting to open a passage through spatial annihilation.
"Splash—"
The collision of spatial forces is the most primitive and brutal method, but it does produce results.
As the dimensional gate shattered, a path was forcibly carved out, creating a road several kilometers in front of him.
But the space here is as if the logic was pre-written by an extremely meticulous engineer.
He peeled back the first layer, and below was still this wasteland.
Peel back the second layer, and it's still there.
The third floor is still there.
Upon reaching the fourth level, the space even recoiled slightly, pushing his myriad phenomena outward a little, and he could no longer proceed.
This brute-force method of breaking down the gates has already destroyed hundreds of the three thousand dimensional gates of the myriad phenomena.
Zhang Yi dared not continue his reckless actions. Based on the distance he could see, even if he destroyed all the dimensional gates, he would not be able to get close to that towering structure.
Moreover, he couldn't possibly abandon his strongest defensive capabilities; who knows what dangers might lie ahead?
His gaze finally darkened.
"Ling."
He called out softly.
Ling's figure appeared silently beside him.
In the presence of this high-level space, her aura became even fainter, and even the luster of her silver armor was suppressed, as if she did not want to disturb the true master of this world.
After all, she is only at the level of a White Knight now, not at her peak.
“This is their core area,” she said calmly.
"It's not a level you can enter directly."
Zhang Yi glanced at her sideways and raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't you just say that I should find the passage myself?"
"You've found it, but finding it doesn't mean you can get inside."
Ling's eyes were very serious, as if she was giving him a lesson.
"Judging from their mastery of space, this civilization is extremely advanced. At its peak, it was perhaps second only to the Ihen race in terms of civilization level."
She suddenly frowned: "But why didn't we see them during the previous war to wipe out the Druckers?"
"If they hadn't encountered the Druckers, how could they have perished?"
Zhang Yi crossed his arms and slowly exhaled.
"These guys are much more cautious than the civilizations on Earth."
"I admire them quite a bit. If they didn't perish due to external interference, then it must have been due to internal reasons."
Ling looked at the towering structure in the distance, a tower that could never be reached, and a faint trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
"They knew what would really be broken, so they hid the truly precious things."
Zhang Yi didn't respond to that, but continued to test the space.
This time he was more direct and forceful, drawing out the Demon Blade Divine Refinement and slashing the blade forward.
The black blade flashed, tearing through the air as if it were trying to shave off a section of the elongated space in front of it.
But when the blade struck, the space was pressed down like water, leaving a deep crease. Then, countless tiny geometric patterns of light lit up all around, bouncing back the section that had been pressed down.
It's like you stabbed a piece of highly resilient rubber; the rubber will automatically patch the hole.
"...This is getting a bit annoying."
Zhang Yi said in a low voice, his voice carrying a hint of impatience for the first time.
Not to others, but to this space.
"Using a spatial system to dismantle space, only to find out that you're fighting against an advanced civilization that's patching up the universe, is indeed quite annoying."
Lu Keran shrank her shoulders in his shadow, wanting to laugh but not daring to, and could only hold it in.
She couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhang Yi, how about... instead of forcibly demolishing it? Let's take another route?"
"for example?"
"For example, by using its legal entrance."
She pointed to the abandoned cities in the distance, "Such a big world must have transportation hubs, access towers, and mainframe rooms."
"You're standing outside trying to smash the server's shell with a hammer, of course you can't break it! If you could find its local login node, maybe you could get into that layer."
