Chapter 432: Transmission Opens, Chaos Black Mist!

Previously, because of imprisoning the 199th-level old wizard Bo Er De, Ta Ke dared not enter this No. 1 Chaos Ecology Small World.

At this moment, it was reclaimed by Ta Ke again.

At the center of the No. 1 Chaos Ecology Small World.

With Ta Ke's low chant of the Steam Sun Prayer Mantra,

"Woo woo woo..."

On a medium steam altar about five meters tall,

A steam sun outline with a diameter of about ten meters quickly appeared.

Accompanied by extremely penetrating sun rays and a low, resonant steam rumble.

As if opening a sluice to release water.

Massive steam source energy rumbled into this medium Chaos Ecology Small World.

Previously, Ta Ke had wanted to input massive source energy to see the effect.

Now, after reaching a new height in strength, incidentally reclaiming lost land.

Today, a medium steam altar was also built.

This also counts as opening a new chapter of experimenting with the steam ecology cycle in the Etia·Ancient God Dead Land.

Feeling the warm, comforting light of the steam sun.

Ta Ke's mood was also unprecedentedly pleasant.

After all, Ta Ke's harvest today was quite abundant.

"Demigod weapons, three pieces."

"Demigod armor, two pieces."

"Legendary materials, several; other resource materials in large quantities."

As they tallied the spoils from slaying three legendaries and one quasi-legendary,

Ta Ke's smile grew ever richer.

"This harvest is definitely a huge profit!"

"Plus those miscellaneous small world blind boxes outside, this trip's harvest in the Etia·Ancient God Dead Land can't be said to be fully loaded, but can only be said to be overflowing with profit."

"Unfortunately... the core area, with my current strength I'm not qualified to go there; otherwise... it would also be a sure-profit venture."

In his thoughts, Ta Ke gradually gathered his mind, then looked toward the Great Rift Valley.

"Any news from the transmission array over there? It's already been half a year."

"At the very least, there should be some news!"

"My cultivation here has reached a stopping point; I should go over there to take a good look."

In his thoughts, Ta Ke locked onto the direction of the Great Rift Valley.

The projection descended and departed.

……

Deep in the Great Rift Valley passage.

"Buzz!"

Twenty meters tall, with a silhouette shrouded in a star‑curtain wizard robe, the star‑phase projection descended outside the magical cottage where the legendary powerhouse Ta Luo Fu was located.

"Ta Ke, you've come!"

As soon as the projection descended, Ta Luo Fu's voice sounded.

As a legendary powerhouse, Ta Luo Fu was responsible for the safety of several masters who built the transmission array, as well as protecting the array itself.

Remaining vigilant of the surroundings to prevent enemy sabotage was Ta Luo Fu's primary duty.

"Not bad, not bad—you're already level 150; before long you can nearly assault the upper Chao Shen Da Shi realm; your cultivation speed is truly astonishing."

Ta Luo Fu sized Ta Ke up for a moment, then spoke with a slight sense of relieved rest.

"Previously, using many good things allowed such rapid advancement; after this, raising the level will be difficult—wanting to reach level 169 will still take considerable time." Ta Ke said after bowing.

After looking left and right, Ta Ke again asked in a low voice.

"Lord Ta Luo Fu, how is the progress of that transmission array?"

Having guessed Ta Ke's purpose for this trip, Ta Luo Fu fell silent for a moment before responding.

"Currently, it seems there is a major problem with the transmission docking."

"According to those few Chao Shen Da Shi, deep where the transmission power reaches, there is an extremely strong barrier causing interference."

"Those few Chao Shen Da Shi speculate that it might be the ancient god star core barrier of the Etia·Ancient God Dead Land."

"Ancient god star core barrier?"

Ta Ke frowned slightly, vaguely sensing something amiss.

"Yes!"

Ta Luo Fu slowly explained.

"The Etia·Ancient God Dead Land itself is a deathly silent land; the air is filled with the aura of death, decay, and decline, which you can also feel as a world continually sinking into death."

"But... on this enormous corpse, many corner parts of the body are not completely dead."

"For example, those chaos ecology small worlds that have completed self‑sealing."

"Also, for instance, the areas deep in the ramparts that possess rampart ecological activity and form rampart crystals."

"And as the core of the Etia·Ancient God Dead Land, namely the 【Ancient God Star Core】, it should also not have completely died."

"Every hundred years or so, or every two hundred years, the Etia·Ancient God Dead Land raises a barrier zone that blocks the external chaos black mist from entering, then dispels the internal black witches, forming the opening period of the chaos treasure land."

"That is precisely the time period we are currently in."

"But the barrier raised by the ancient god star core blocks our transmission power for leaving."

Although the current situation has not yet been determined, based on the information already gathered.

Our currently constructed teleportation array probably cannot open the Ancient God Star Core Barrier of the Erutia·Ancient God Dead Lands.

After hearing Talofu's exposition, Ta Ke couldn't help but rub his temples, pondering to himself.

Can we no longer leave here?

Are we supposed to choose the passive option, to be trapped here for a hundred years or even two hundred years?

Although cultivating peacefully here is not bad, after all it is not a long-term plan.

No one knows what the outside will become in a hundred or two hundred years.

We still need to find a way to leave.

After a moment of thought, Ta Ke then spoke.

Lord Talofu, via the teleportation array, can we touch the barrier propped open by the ancient god star core?

After a moment of contemplation, Talofu then spoke.

Going down, it is a barrier formed by the mixture of a vast deathly wall and the residual power of the ancient god star core, combined into death.

Going upward, it is similar to the three-phase barrier of a divine nation.

But the problem is, even if we can touch it via the teleportation array, we cannot actually perform the touch.

Because that three-phase barrier mixes with chaotic black mist.

It is entirely a death barrier.

Precisely for this reason, it can resist the chaotic black mist that possesses extremely strong annihilation properties.

In previous attempts to open the teleportation, when touching the border barrier, chaotic black mist would seep in, consuming much source energy of the Chao Shen Da Shi before being annihilated.

If you want to contact the barrier and establish an ecological cycle, I advise you not to do so.

If we could let your steam and the barrier of the chaotic ancient god star core undergo an ecological cycle, I would have contacted you long ago, but unfortunately we cannot!

Having said this, Talofu slightly shook his head.

Whether it is your chaotic steam source energy or my legendary source energy.

Will be annihilated by that chaotic black mist, and moreover it is a highly efficient annihilation.

After all, even the great Ancient God Divine Nation can seep in; one can imagine how formidable that chaotic black mist is.

Of course, if you insist on trying, it is not impossible.

Ta Ke pondered for a moment and then spoke.

Let's give it a try! Who knows, it might work!

Sure!

Following Talofu's response.

Soon, a door frame was opened.

After passing through the long corridor, Ta Ke entered a layer-space deep within the solid barrier.

A massive teleportation array with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters has already been constructed.

The rich light is even more substantial.

Seeing someone enter, many Chao Shen Da Shi cast their gazes over.

When they saw it was Ta Ke, some people slightly nodded in greeting.

Others were meditating with eyes closed nearby, and did not interrupt their cultivation due to Ta Ke's arrival.

The time-space blade wielder 'Isaac' was also among this group.

His Highness Ta Ke!

Isaac stepped forward and saluted Ta Ke.

Ta Ke looked left and right, then asked.

Can we open the barrier teleportation, allowing my projection to attempt to touch the world barrier propped open by the ancient god star core?

Just need to send me over; even if my projection is annihilated, it's no big deal.

Isaac had not yet responded.

Beside him, a 196th-level, nearly thirty meters tall upper mage wearing a light-blue mage robe, was the first to nod and say: 'Can!'

Ta Ke vaguely recalled that this blue-robed mage came from the Alu Mofu Divine Nation.

That upper blue-robed mage continued to speak.

If possible, Your Highness Ta Ke, you can completely stay there a while longer and gather more information.

Moreover... this is also a rare opportunity to come into contact with the chaotic black mist.

Furthermore, Your Highness, your sequence is the Chaotic Master sequence; I think you should be able to resist longer against the death-annihilation of those chaotic black mists.

Ta Ke nodded.

Hope I can hold out a bit longer!

The blue-robed upper mage is obviously very familiar with this massive spatial teleportation array.

After Ta Ke stood firm within the teleportation array.

The blue-robed upper mage, after manipulating for a moment.

Hummm...

The rich and heavy spatial power quickly enveloped Ta Ke.

After a moment.

A spatial tremor sounded with a 'Hum!'

Ta Ke, amidst the hazy flowing light of space, was instantly launched outward.

Because the distance was not far enough, Ta Ke almost instantly reached the barrier's edge.

Ta Ke had just landed.

A heavy, oppressive feeling, even a sense of sequential suffocation, quickly spread.

Like a viscous black mist soaked and permeated with thick ink, it surged from all directions to surround Ta Ke.

Upon contact.

「Siss—」

Ta Ke's star-phase projection hissed.

It seemed to sense Ta Ke's entry.

These viscous chaotic black mists, as if a shark had sensed wounded prey, surged frenziedly, rolling up huge waves.

「Woo—」

Ta Ke instantly unleashed the Forbidden Spell–Light Feather Blade, and at the same time, a vast amount of Steam Source Energy roared forth.

The released Steam Source Energy quickly formed a steam-state sphere around Ta Ke.

The chaotic black mist converged from all directions onto Ta Ke's steam-state sphere to annihilate it, as if trying to swallow him whole.

「Siss—」

Ta Ke's Chaotic Steam Source Energy and the chaotic black mist showed a state of mutual annihilation.

And Ta Ke's Chaotic Steam Source Energy was clearly the suppressed side.

In the confrontation, Ta Ke quickly activated High-Dimensional Vision, Stratum Vision, etc., and examined the situation at the border of the fortifications of Ertia Ancient God Dead Land.
