Chapter 545

However...

None of this matters.

What matters is that this time, Alice is finally able to see just how powerful this grenade truly is.

Looking up at the membrane once more, Alice pursed her lips and retreated hundreds of miles on her sword.

"This distance... should be about right."

"Teyvat, you must hold on! I'm doing this to help you!"

Alice gave a mischievous grin and carefully placed the grenade in the Dark Sea.

Taking a deep breath, golden Buddhist flames bloomed in Alice's hands; in the ethereal void, Buddhist chants that pierced the soul began to murmur around her.

Alice, however, paid them no mind. Although she was using the Buddhist sect's Separation Divine Light, it didn't stop her from calling those monks "old bald donkeys."

The Buddhist flames landed on the grenade, and Alice, her expression unchanged, continued to increase the output of her True Qi.

Her intuition told her she could keep channeling for a long time.

0 Flowers requested.

"If Klee found out I snuck off to the Dark Sea to set off a giant bomb behind her back, she might be so angry she wouldn't talk to me for over an hour, right?"

"Oh my... I really am not a very responsible mother."

Alice stared blankly at the grenade before her with a giggle.

In her mind, she was thinking of Klee's appearance.

Klee...

She is already close to breaking through to the late stage of Refining Essence into Qi.

It was only two or three months ago that Klee was merely at the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi.

Jiang Yan had also said that while Refining Essence into Qi is the most basic realm of cultivation, in reality, breaking through a small realm requires a long time.

Klee...

In two or three months, she has crossed realms repeatedly.

While this is a good thing, Klee's talent truly puts some pressure on Alice.

At this rate, Klee will likely undergo the Tribulation and ascend before she does.

By then...

Alice shook her head and forced a smile.

"What am I thinking? My darling daughter getting stronger is something to celebrate; how can I let my thoughts run wild?"

"Honestly..."

Alice let out a long sigh, lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, an ethereal intuition suddenly pricked at the center of Alice's brow.

Alice snapped back to reality and glanced at the grenade.

Without a word, she immediately cut off the flow of True Qi and retreated backward at the fastest speed of her life.

In the blink of an eye, she had retreated over a thousand miles.

Even so, Alice still felt uneasy and cast several layers of defensive measures on herself.

There was no helping it...

The level of this grenade seemed to exceed Alice's expectations.

Because...

This grenade gave even her a sense of crisis.

"Oh no... Teyvat should be able to withstand this, right?"

Alice stared nervously at the energy fluctuations inside the grenade; a distance of over a thousand miles was no issue for a cultivator in the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit.

"It's coming..."

Alice's pupils constricted, and the next moment, the Spirit Ore grenade vanished from her sight.

In its place was an extreme white; if Alice hadn't still been able to see her own hands, she would have thought she had set off a flashbang.

Immediately after, a few seconds later, a heaven-shaking explosion resounded throughout the entire Dark Sea.

The tremors from the explosion even caused the nearby Inazuma to shake slightly.

The violent energy tore apart everything in the Dark Sea.

Space, gods, and the Dark Sea itself were all leveled by this explosion.

Alice opened her eyes wide, looking in disbelief at the destruction brought by this blast.

If her predictions were correct, that area of the Dark Sea had become just like the Stormterror's Lair.

Perhaps even worse, because the center of the explosion was now a spatial rift, devoid of any matter.

"That really was fierce... It seems these grenades need some modifications."

Alice wiped away a cold sweat, feeling a bit guilty.

Suddenly, a wave of intense spiritual energy rushed toward Alice; she paused for a moment and looked in the direction from which the energy surged.

Her scalp immediately went numb.

That indestructible barrier from before...

Now had a large hole torn through it.

Alice had already sensed countless powerful gazes sweeping toward this location.

This had truly caused a major problem.

Alice's expression turned grim as she sped toward the rift; the prying gazes were instantly suppressed by the aura of Alice's Shushan Elder token.

Once she had a moment, she hurriedly began to repair the rift.

Fortunately, the world itself was also repairing the rift, and soon, the indestructible barrier reappeared.

Alice wiped away a cold sweat.

"That was close. I'm never playing like this again; if the Sect Leader finds out, I'll probably get a scolding..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Alice suddenly looked toward a spot not far below.

A bright red figure seemed to have come through the rift just now.

At this moment, she was sinking beneath the Dark Sea...

326. The Red-Haired Woman from Outside the World

Today, Teyvat still failed to be as peaceful and stable as the Heavenly Principles had imagined.

Some time ago, after Ganyu broke through her tribulation, the World Will shamelessly went up and signed an agreement with her.

Now, the Heavenly Principles had become Ganyu's subordinate.

Strictly speaking, however, it could be considered a good thing; at the very least, they had found a backer with a very solid background.

Along with it, it seemed to have made the Cryo Archon abandon those unrealistic ideas.

The World Will and Ganyu achieved success together; as a subordinate of the World Will, she could also get stronger along the way.

This could be considered "lying flat" to level up.

These past few days, the Heavenly Principles had been living quite happily.

But unfortunately, these days of lying flat and enjoying happiness didn't last long; today, an explosion in the Dark Sea caused the Heavenly Principles to collapse again.

If it were a typical explosion, it naturally wouldn't matter; even if the sky turned over, it wouldn't affect Teyvat.

But this time, it was Alice's "large-sized" grenade.

The Heavenly Principles saw that glaring rift clearly.

Why had she previously exhausted all her efforts to burn human reason? It was because the barrier had isolated Teyvat from the World of the Tree and Sea.

Teyvat, having become a rootless duckweed, would inevitably be destroyed if it had no way to sustain itself.

As for why the barrier had been constructed...

The World of the Tree and Sea is not a world of true kindness; if a barrier was built to isolate Teyvat, there might still be a path to survival.

But if no isolation was done, Teyvat would undoubtedly die.

This was merely a high-stakes gamble.

Now, the barrier maintaining Teyvat had been shattered in one area, and although it quickly recovered,

the barrier had ultimately begun to lose its effect; once the barrier disappeared completely, it would be time for Teyvat to connect to the Sea of Quanta.

Even now, it was possible that many existences had already set their sights on the Teyvat world.

As the only civilization on the mystical side in a Tree and Sea universe based on technology, Teyvat was simply a piece of fat meat. ===== CHAPTER 546 =====
