Chapter 309: Igniting the Barrier, Initiating!

Wah—la—la…

The raging storm gusts swept in like razor blades, and a faint fluctuation of the Wind Rune Art could be sensed.

When Ta Ke plunged his palm into the storm zone of the Barrier Wind Tunnel.

Chit—chit—chit…

Countless invisible, sharp cutting wind lines hammered his palm.

Accompanied by the chittering sound, Ta Ke's palm emitted a faint golden aura, blocking those blade‑like wind lines one by one.

It contains a trace of Wind Rune Art power; its destructive force is astonishing.

Surveying the massive Barrier Wind Tunnel over a thousand meters in diameter before him, Ta Ke made a rough assessment.

The Barrier Wind Tunnel is a source‑energy gust channel of the World Barrier.

Sounds nice, but the speed of escape isn't slow at all.

The forbidden raven in Ta Ke's left‑eye pupil pecked impatiently at his pupil, letting out a low screech.

Hai Yisha added.

After clashing with Blood Demon Hand in the ocean depths.

Immediately, Ta Ke followed the massive rock framework of the kilometer‑wide Barrier Wind Tunnel, beginning to search for a suitable sheltered "cave" to guard.

And here the stationed personnel are few.

Using Old Days·Steam, it can be ignited.

The World Barrier possesses an "extraordinary solid‑liquid duality."

It also has another identity—Divine Favored.

Fourth, from here Ta Ke can effectively enter the Eastern Continent's Stone Golem Empire.

Their Ban‑Magic Stones heavily suppress spellcasters like you.

Passing down the Star Meditation Secret Scripture is one of the agreements between Ta Ke and Valentin Wood.

Huh…

Using his own Steam·World as the spark, and the old steam of Old Days·Stars as the source material and drive, he will ignite the great Barrier of the extraordinary world of Ancient Twin Stars.

Qianya Mermaid Island is more than ten times larger than the Source Realm Island Ta Ke previously sought.

Looking down, the bottom is endless; looking up, the sky stretches into an extreme, dispersed height.

After speaking, the fourth‑rank oceanic fish‑man warrior leapt straight into a nearby "Source Energy Channel" within the World Barrier and vanished instantly.

After all, the teacher had already instructed before arrival; this time, the defense of the Barrier Wind Tunnel is to be led by the human wizard "Andrei."

But a certain scale is needed to get the Steam·World Barrier's unique ecology running and expanding.

Ta Ke quietly sat in the meditation seat, entering a light meditative cultivation state.

Immediately after.

Will anyone really pass through here to ambush Qianya Mermaid Island?

Information about Blood Demon Hand, Forbidden Spell Wizard, Divine Favored, and Ta Ke Lamor will, over time, inevitably leak out.

It became a battlefield of the Eastern and Western Continents.

Yet one can still see within the glass crystal those Barrier Spirits frolicking inside.

Hmm!

So Ta Ke should now begin the crucial first step of entering the Barrier.

On the way to Qianya Mermaid Island, Captain Abraham privately consulted three Flying Fish Tribe masters.

Secondly, this is the place where the Wind Rune Art is most easily perceived.

"I'll take care of the outside guard for you; you don't need to worry about external matters—just peacefully build the ecosystem inside."

With a Magical Cabin, Ta Ke can enjoy a comfortable cultivation environment anytime, anywhere.

Just under half a month ago.

Ta Ke isn't planning to go now, but soon he will be able to use the entire Stone Golem Continent as his testing ground.

Even now, Hai Yisha still can't quite believe it.

At the same time, Hai Yisha, sharp‑eyed, instantly judged the powerful Forbidden Spell Wizard's hidden tactics from the shimmering golden light and faint scale‑armor pattern.

Wah—la—la…

Ta Ke took a deep breath and looked toward the outside World Barrier.

Thus he bridged the gap between the World Barrier and Steam Direct, forging a brand‑new world‑class steam ecosystem.

With that.

Accompanied by the heavy, low, resonant, deep steam roar emanating from the meditative stars.

"Solid‑Liquid‑Gas Tri‑state Commonality"—that is the Magical World Barrier.

Source Realm Island is the island region carved out by parting the undead gray mist.

Ta Ke replied lightly, then inserted the Steam·Wonder Bracelet into the Barrier, and stepped into the Magical Cabin.

Entering the cabin, Ta Ke let out a soft sigh.

And this time.

When Ta Ke chose to take a defensive post.

Wuu—wuu—wuu…

The Flying Fish Tribe leader‑level assassin Hai Yisha will train alongside Ta Ke for a while.

Ga—ga…

Valentin Wood of the Flying Fish Tribe privately approached Ta Ke.

Since they came to join the war and defend, Blood Demon Hand naturally can't freeload on resources without working.

When Ta Ke lifted the restriction, the Forbidden Crow immediately flew out impatiently, landed in his rubble nest, and kept hopping back and forth; the bird is especially attached to its nest.

The party just arrived here.

Ta Ke intends to station here in the Barrier Windway area for the long term.

The Sairiangs Principality leans more toward ecological warfare and battles among the strong.

【World Barrier】

Hai Yi Sha, however, chose a cave Barrier not far from Ta Ke.

From the war banners that clattered, the Sea Demon Ship armed to the teeth, various steam‑magic fortresses of all sizes, countless steam‑magic towers, steam‑magic batteries, and so on—

Ta Ke felt a strong aura of war.

When Ta Ke touched it, the World Barrier was as solid as stone.

Ta Ke thought to himself silently.

He used the Old Days·Book of Stars to continuously exhale Old Days·Steam, transforming its quantity into a qualitative change to ignite the World Barrier.

"Those from the Eastern Continent are adept at using Anti‑Magic Stones; they can largely resist the destructive force of the Barrier Windway, then ride the wind to launch a surprise attack."

And supporters coming from other hub nodes of the Sairiangs Principality.

Arriving at a deeper part of the World Barrier.

The ordinary 'source‑energy steam' cannot be used with Steam·World to ignite the Barrier's ecology; Ta Ke had already made a small trial.

The spot Ta Ke finally chose for cultivation is this Barrier Wind Tunnel.

Qianya Mermaid Island is a core world hub that has opened up a vast stretch of the World Barrier; its many passages are criss‑crossed.

In the end, Ta Ke obtained what he needed from Lord‑Bishop Wa Lun Ding·Wu De.

First, the defense here is not demanding; a Fifth‑rank Lord's Shadow Demon Spider can fully handle the garrison duty.

"Before you, many have been wounded here, some even lost their lives."

After a few people arrived at Qianya Mermaid Island,

the pages of the book instantly spread open on their own.

On the second day, Ta Ke obtained the long‑awaited Fifth‑rank Lord‑grade material.

He felt the destructive power inside the Barrier Wind Tunnel, comparable to a twenty‑something level wind spell.

Under the leadership of the old Flying‑Fish Lord Wa Lun Ding·Wu De, the Blood Demon Hand Ship sailed for a week and safely reached Qianya Mermaid Island.

It was like a semi‑transparent glass crystal, both a condensed solid and a source‑energy liquid.

After a private secret transaction,

Qianya Mermaid Island became unusually bustling.

Plus other extraordinary sea races taken in by the merfolk.

As Lord Wa Lun Ding·Wu De of the Flying‑Fish clan said.

Of course, Hai Yi Sha, who had been aboard the Blood Demon Hand Sea Demon Ship all the way, already knew the wizard's true name—Ta Ke·La Mo Er!

After a hundred breaths, Ta Ke, having roughly steadied his condition, thought, and the Old Days·Book of Stars on the nearby desk flew over on its own.

"Wooo…"

The captain and Dr. Stan Lee were dispatched to the outer side of the World Barrier waterfall, where frontal support and close combat were needed, to join the front‑line war.

The Fourth‑rank Oceanic Merman Warrior clad in silver‑white fish‑scale armor first glanced at the questioning Fourth‑rank Human Wizard, weighed the situation a moment, and, out of respect for the Fifth‑rank leader of the extraordinary Flying‑Fish clan, finally replied.

All along the way, Hai Yi Sha's gaze spent most of the time scrutinizing this powerful human 'Steam Wizard'.

Ta Ke, slightly curious, looked at the Fourth‑rank Oceanic Merman Warrior who had brought him and Hai Yi Sha here and asked,

hoping they could keep the 'Forbidden Spell Wizard' identity as secret as possible.

"I understand." Hai Yi Sha, not far away, nodded solemnly in response.

"You focus on cultivation first; I will establish the ecology, and when the time is right, I will let you inherit the Star Meditation Codex."

Third, the Barrier Wind Tunnel is also the fastest conduit for spreading the fire‑seed power of 'Steam·World' deep into the World Barrier.

Masses of steam surged like waves, spewing out along the pages.

The merfolk themselves are already of massive scale.

As a leader proficient in wind‑rune arts and possessing flight, Hai Yi Sha garrisons the Barrier Windway with no pressure at all.

The Fourth‑rank Steam Wizard before me turned out to be the renowned Defiler·Divine Favored of the past few years in the Augur Twin‑Star Extraordinary World, Ta Ke·La Mo Er.

As the Old Days·Book of Stars strained to exhale, Ta Ke also unleashed the properties of the magical cottage's Double‑Ring High Tower.

"It has rune‑dragon scale armor fused with a flesh body, and the quality is quite high."

"Find a good cave, set up defenses, and… good luck to you!"

Today, Qianya Mermaid Island has become a frontline fortress of the war bastion.

Here on Qianya Mermaid Island, it is clear that more advanced steam‑magic technology from outside has been adopted.

Ta Ke, needing breakthroughs and an anchoring idle point, as well as subsequent needs,

Ta Ke plans to take a garrison near the World Barrier on the Eastern Continent side.

In response, Flying‑Fish Lord Wa Lun Ding·Wu De naturally accepted without hesitation.

And this name, Hai Yi Sha on Qianya Mermaid Island, has heard countless times already.

"Actually… the caster isn't really suited to defend here against the surprise raids of those extraordinary beings from the Eastern Continent."

Also, exotic extraordinary beings who come to Mermaid Island to earn 'merits', and so on.

After feeding the Forbidden Crow,

Similar Barrier Wind Tunnels exist throughout the World Barrier, many of them.

But the more time that can be bought, the more cultivation growth time Ta Ke can gain.

All the materials for Ta Ke's promotion to Fifth‑rank are now complete.

Having the identity of Dr. Stan Lee, plus the Blood Demon Hand title, they came from afar to assist; there are two bishop-level experts, whose own strength is not weak.

Not long after, Ta Ke had selected the bulwark cave.

From the caliber of those magic cannons that could stuff oneself into, Ta Ke could see that the outside world's development was likely more advanced than what he had come into contact with.

Even at the dome, it would also possess a meteorological quality.

Mixed with the rumbling of steam from the ancient stars.

Using the bulwark as a tower, construct the tower-ring state of a higher ring technique.

Then, using the tower ecosystem as the core, ignite the world's bulwark.

Layer by layer pushing upward, this is Ta Ke's method of using steam to ignite the world's bulwark.
