Chapter 2909: Reverse Plane Barrier

Thinking this, Xia Duo began to continuously increase the projection intensity of the Annihilation Light; soon, the blue Giant Screen, which had remained unmoved, suddenly began to ripple at the point of contact with the Annihilation Light.

It was a bit like a surging sea surface, or perhaps an inflating balloon, as if an earth-shattering change would occur the next moment; if Xia Duo's goal were merely to break through the Domain Protection, he would only need to continue increasing the output intensity of the Annihilation Light.

But his goal was not violent destruction, because behind the Domain Protection was a Time-Involving Ritual that had already passed its first critical point, and rashly destroying it might trigger unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, he still had to seek a safe means to disable the opponent's protection.

In terms of spell offense and defense, Xia Duo wouldn't say he had reached the pinnacle, but at least he had achieved a high level of proficiency; the Annihilation Light provoked the Domain Protection into an unconventional state, and in such a state, it was difficult for any spell to guarantee not revealing the slightest flaw.

Not to mention that Xia Duo already knew the relevant elements of the Domain Protection in advance; at this moment, supported by a Spirit Thought Network composed of several high-spec Mages, he found the protective flaw in almost a breath's time and issued the corresponding Spellcasting instructions within the action group's Spirit Thought Network.

At the same time, the Thought Robe on his left hand was still under his control, continuously projecting Annihilation Light toward the Giant Screen, and it was not limited to one position, but allowed to move across the surface of the Giant Screen.

Although Xia Duo had not yet fully analyzed the 【Domain Protection】, based on the spell details he currently understood and the memories of the Seer Pafen, he could roughly judge that this spell existed in at most two states.

One was a state of near-infinite expansion of space used for protection, which was somewhat similar to the Time Jieti that Xia Duo had once created by drawing on the Time Deceleration spell; both used pure time or space to defend against potential attacks.

And the other state was likely the isolated state seen before one's eyes, which could perhaps be regarded as an advanced mode of the former state, compressing the expanded space so that that part of the space looked like a layer of curtain.

"I have found a Teleportation Link; do you all have the courage to break into the Demon-born Secret Base with me?"

When Xia Duo and Niya were traveling in the Main Plane, they had stayed at the edge of the Plane for a long time and thought of countless ways, but they had no way to break through this layer of boundary to enter the Nothingness Between, and could only project their Perception inside.

The theoretical effect should be close to that state at the edge of the Plane; it was almost impossible to break through from inside the Plane to enter the Nothingness Between. (It can also be called the Plane Barrier part, and further in is pure nothingness—the Ether Interlayer, with the two transitioning smoothly.)

"Everyone, the signal over there has appeared for more than 4 minutes; please make a decision as soon as possible on whether to follow me into the blue Giant Screen to disrupt the Demon-born's ritual."

"Even if it is a trap, there is no need to worry; as long as the Time-Involving Ritual inside is stopped, or if there is no Time-Involving Ritual, the Demon-born will have nothing left to do."

In a sense, this Domain Protection spell created a reverse Plane Barrier, placing the target that needed protection inside the Nothingness Between.

Demon-born Secret Base was just a casual name used in private; the official name should be Midian, and its leader was a Secret Hall Guardian under the command of an Apostle of the Darkness Society.

So, next, he would watch for two or three minutes; Xia Duo did not persuade them further, fearing it would be counterproductive; anyway, he had already said and done what he should have said and done, and how these Elves chose was up to them.

Unless the Darkness Society had gathered all the Demon-born inside the blue sky screen to set up a world-destroying trap, even so, Xia Duo had the confidence to retreat unscathed, and even bring these companions from the action group with him.

In fact, Xia Duo even hoped that the Darkness Society would concentrate more power to set a trap, so that he could deal a major blow to the Darkness Society all at once; otherwise, the opponent always hiding in the dark like a mouse was even more of a headache.

"This protective spell of the Demon-born is indeed difficult to disintegrate directly at the moment, but if we solve the Demon-born conducting the Time-Involving Ritual inside, then there is no need to worry; I have full confidence in bringing you back safely."

Xia Duo speculated that either the Demon-born were short-handed there, or the spell was not directly controlled by a Spellcaster, but was set up through a War Magic Artifact.

The essence was the limitation of Perception; the premise for communication was the ability to perform Positioning, even if it was only Fuzzy Positioning, which to a certain extent made the interior of the Domain Protection almost an independent space.

If one insisted on waiting, one could wait for at most about half an hour, but for the sake of prudence, there was actually only two or three minutes of consideration time; after two or three minutes, the chance of successfully disrupting the Demon-born ritual would become smaller the further it went.

The result was none!

But that was under the condition that the Main Plane was undefended; the current Domain Protection spell was not some natural phenomenon, but a spell deliberately shaped by the Demon-born; not only could various entities and spells not enter, but even communication was blocked—

Correspondingly, after more than two or three minutes, the willingness of these Elves to enter the Giant Screen would also become weaker and weaker.

In fact, it was not just Xia Duo who thought so; if it were the various Elf nations, they would all rather pay a certain price to have a decisive battle with the Demon-born and completely wipe out the other side; it was just that the Demon-born had always been hiding and unwilling to engage in a head-on battle.

Hearing Xia Duo say this, different thoughts immediately came from the Spirit Thought Network, but they were roughly divided into three categories; one category politely expressed resistance, and some even lost confidence in this mission.

Xia Duo was not worried that this was a trap; first of all, he had come as an avatar, and even if it were not an avatar, he still carried the Thought Robe with him; this thing, which looked like a Mage Robe or could change into gloves, was essentially a War Spell Platform with complete functions.

Of course, this was using the situation of the Main Plane to make an analogy; the actual interior of the Domain Protection was not the state outside the Main Plane itself.

The remaining category, of course, was very direct; they were willing to follow Xia Duo into the blue sky screen, but this portion of Mages was also the fewest, only two high-level Mages who had previously participated in the Metier Incident, and coincidentally, both were from Ilfalarn.

This also proved from the side that the hard power mastered by the Demon-born, or the Darkness Society, was far inferior to the Elf nations; if they were even slightly closer, they would not be hiding like this, but would be calling for independent state-building or some other means.

But the reality was that he brought the Thought Robe, and by way of disrupting the spell, forced it to reveal more flaws; in fact, he still hoped that there were Spellcasters on the Demon-born side presiding over this spell!

If Xia Duo had not brought the Thought Robe or other War Spell Platforms this time, he was afraid he would really have no way to deal with this spell, at least he would not be able to solve this spell before the Time-Involving Ritual was completed.

One category was asking whether the blue sky screen could be disintegrated, and advising Xia Duo not to take risks; this portion of Mages accounted for the vast majority.

"Is there a possibility that it is a trap?" an Elf asked.

But regardless, it also illustrated the formidable nature of this kind of spell.
