Chapter 967: Space Rupture Point! Father
"Tell me, how did you achieve that attack just now?"
Xu Jingming looked at Shima Taiyi, his eyes filled with intense interest.
This seventh-rank master looked nothing like someone who could threaten a ninth-rank powerhouse.
"It's a laser gun."
Swish—
A pure white laser gun appeared in Shima Taiyi's hand, respectfully offered forward.
"Laser gun?"
Xu Jingming took the laser gun and frowned, "Eva, can a laser gun have this kind of power?"
"Impossible."
The little girl Eva's holographic projection emerged from her smart bracer, tilting her head in confusion.
"Third Civilization-era laser guns could kill at most fourth-rank ferocious beasts.
Even the highest-grade laser guns from the Second Civilization could only threaten fifth-rank ferocious beasts—I've never seen a laser gun with this kind of power."
Seeing this, Shima Taiyi immediately panicked and hurried to say:
"Master, I'm not lying!
I've used this gun to kill a ninth-rank Law Saint, another eighth-rank ferocious beast, and an eighth-rank peak Master Zongshi!"
Under the effect of the Slave Heart Seal, Xu Jingming had become his greatest master, and he, the most loyal servant.
Now that his master doubted him, he naturally rushed to defend himself.
"Oh?"
Xu Jingming narrowed his eyes, "Eva, activate detection mode. Analyze the emission energy intensity of this gun."
"Got it."
Faint blue virtual light rays shot from Eva, projecting onto the laser gun.
At the same time, Xu Jingming pulled the trigger toward a distant large tree.
Boom!!
A brilliance of the utmost intensity erupted from the barrel!
So fast that even Eva couldn't react in time.
Only after the beam destroyed the distant tree did she cry out in shock:
"Emission energy intensity reached ninth-rank!
Speed reached the speed of light! This light shockwave is sufficient to kill most ninth-rank lower-tier psychics!
Major discovery! This is absolutely a major discovery!
If this laser gun can be mass-produced, it will completely change the balance of power between humans and ferocious beasts."
As soon as she finished speaking, Eva transformed into a streak of light and flowed into the laser gun, beginning to analyze its internal structure.
"This laser gun has this kind of power?" Su Qingli's face showed astonishment.
Xu Jingming also understood the significance of this laser gun and asked immediately: "Where did you get this gun?"
"I found it beside a special space," Shima Taiyi replied respectfully.
"Special space?"
Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, "Take us there."
"Yes, Master."
Saying this, Shima Taiyi immediately led the way ahead.
But his speed was far too slow, so after Xu Jingming recalled the Iron Thread Lotus,
He simply grabbed Shima Taiyi by the neck with one hand and flew at full speed with him.
Su Qingli, flying beside them, couldn't help feeling amused.
Xu Jingming's action was just like picking up a dog.
The kicker was, the man actually behaved like a dog, wearing a pleading smile on his face...
In Thunderform, Xu Jingming's flight speed reached four times the speed of sound!
Thus, only ten minutes later, they arrived at the location Shima Taiyi had described.
Boom—
Crack—
Compared to other regions, the lightning falling in this area was denser and thicker.
Thunderous roars echoed constantly across the entire region—any single bolt of lightning could instantly kill a sixth-rank psychic!
Of course, it had no effect on Xu Jingming and Su Qingli.
Even when lightning struck Xu Jingming, it felt like a massage.
"Master, I found this laser gun right here."
Under Shima Taiyi's guidance, Xu Jingming and Su Qingli arrived at the area where lightning struck most densely.
No plants could survive here; the ground was no longer brown soil but shone with a metallic platinum luster.
At the center of this region was a pit roughly fifty meters in diameter.
Around the pit's edge lay scattered fragments of metal debris.
At the pit's very center was a black vortex.
But the vortex was not made of water—it was composed of dense spatial energy!
As the spatial vortex rotated, fragments of metal debris were occasionally spewed out from within.
"Is this... the spatial rupture point of the Break Tower?"
Xu Jingming watched the vortex with some surprise.
Because Hearing Ling Shuang was a space-type ability user, he had also picked up, more or less, some knowledge related to space.
The so-called spatial breach was a passage from real space into the spatial chaotic flow layer.
For stable space, such a breach could not possibly appear.
But the Void-Breaking Tower, which the Spark Fire World had fished out of the spatial chaotic flow in the first place, clearly did not fall within the scope of stable space.
In other words, through this passage, one could enter the spatial chaotic flow layer.
In theory, one could even find Hearing Ling Shuang within the spatial chaotic flow layer.
However, because the spatial chaotic flow layer was misaligned and discontinuous, the probability of encountering Hearing Ling Shuang was infinitely close to zero.
"The spatial chaotic flow layer is misaligned—things from tens of thousands of miles away can drift over here, so it wouldn't be impossible for a laser gun like this to show up."
Su Qingli gave a slight nod and said with a smile:
"This laser gun might be alien technology from dozens of light-years away; it just happened to be delivered here through the spatial chaotic flow layer by accident."
"Teacher Su, you guessed right—this laser gun really is alien technology!"
At that moment, Eva's holographic projection popped out of the laser gun, her cute little face full of excitement:
"I've already analyzed the material of this laser gun—it doesn't belong to any metal from Blue Star or the Spark Fire World.
The core internal energy-compression firing component is something even I can't decode; if I force a decode, the whole gun risks self-destructing!
A firearm of this level absolutely could not have been manufactured on Blue Star!"
"Alien technology..." Xu Jingming's gaze flickered.
A Supreme Being already possessed the ability to survive in outer space.
If not for the obstruction of that membrane, Blue Star might have already entered the interstellar era.
Still, the appearance of this laser gun does confirm the conjecture that extraterrestrial civilizations exist.
Pfft—
The spatial breach pulsed once more, and a large amount of metal wreckage spewed out, scattering across the ground.
Su Qingli, who had still been wearing a smile, suddenly froze, a look of disbelief crossing her fair, pretty face.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jingming asked, sensing something was off.
"I just seemed to sense... Father's aura!"
Su Qingli said in a daze, murmuring.
"You mean Senior Su Tianrui?"
Xu Jingming's face showed surprise.
Su Tianrui!
The previous head of Lei Ting Martial Hall, he possessed a lightning-type S-class ability, his level reaching as high as the peak of the ninth rank!
Some even commented that he could attempt to break through to Supreme Being.
Yet such a powerful figure had gone missing four years ago, and to this day there had been no news.
He hadn't expected to sense an aura here.
