Chapter 1164: Chapter 597: The Power of the Void Anchor
“Stay calm…” Li Ming did not let down his guard.
The metal materials here are all under strict surveillance measures; those storage devices are not only placement tables but also individual defense locks.
Li Ming carefully exerted control over each one from the root to regulate them using the Vermilion Bird.
At the same time, he didn’t overlook any visible defensive measures around.
“Perhaps there’s an overall weight-measuring device…” Li Ming tried hard to think if there was anything he missed; most defensive measures in the room had been resolved.
But there could still be some outside the room. The mass of these metal materials is extremely heavy, and if they suddenly disappear, it might be noticed.
However, these are minor issues. He immediately extracted a Mechanical Body from the Control System and then refined the materials into metal blocks of similar shape and weight.
Remove one, replace it with another.
“With this, there shouldn’t be a problem.” After much consideration, Li Ming came to a piece of “Void Forged Steel.”
With a slight touch of his palm, he activated the [Subspace Folding Ring] to collect it.
The X Level [Subspace Folding Ring] could directly collect things within a certain range without touch.
The touch was solely for more precision when exchanging items.
But at the moment when the piece of Void Forged Steel was collected, the replacement metal block had just landed.
Li Ming’s face suddenly changed dramatically; the initially calm air suddenly rippled like water.
Threads of silver light spun a web in the void, instantly shredding nearby instruments into powder, suspending them in spiraling gray mist.
Where did the spatial fluctuation come from?
Li Ming’s heart pounded. This was definitely not spatial fluctuation left by collecting metal materials.
Is this… some kind of detection measure, spatial blockade?
No, I didn’t sense any spatial blockade methods.
Li Ming’s thoughts raced like lightning; taking anything from the Control System wouldn’t cause spatial fluctuation.
However, the Subspace of the [Subspace Folding Ring]’s control ability still generated spatial fluctuations without such power.
But he carefully sensed, there were no monitoring measures in the space, and this slight spatial fluctuation didn’t even reach outside the room; how was it discovered so fast?
The fluctuation in front of him grew more intense, like invisible fingers cracking transparent glass.
Cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck; an intensely dangerous instinct assaulted him from a nail-sized darkness in the gradually opening crevice at the center of the ripple, threatening him.
And the threat was immensely lethal.
The entire room seemed like the throat of some giant beast, and that ever-expanding spatial fissure looked ready to devour him.
It’s the Void Anchor!
Li Ming’s pupils constricted, realizing instantly that this terrifying and extremely silent monitoring could only belong to that Titan Holy Artifact.
The capabilities of this thing are far beyond what I imagined.
He had never witnessed the power of a complete Titan Holy Artifact before, and this time it taught him a direct lesson.
Nevertheless, the moment Li Ming realized something was wrong, he intended to collect all the metal materials in front of him into the Folded Space.
However, two different spatial fluctuations clashed in the void before him, faintly emitting the sound of a thousand steel needles scraping glass, the air at the edges of the fissures disappearing, leaving absolute voids.
He felt some resistance.
The spatial blockade had descended, and its specs exceeded the X Level [Subspace Folding Ring].
But he responded quickly. He deployed the Time Distortion Force Field, covering the entire room, cranking the flow speed to full.
Sure enough, using the Time Distortion Force Field of the Eternal Silence Star altered the temporal flow rate, disrupting spacetime consistency.
The fluctuations in the void began to tremble, the silver web cracking, shaking the current spatial blockade.
As the spatial fluctuation swept over, he had already collected all the metal materials into the Folded Space.
The fierce energy aura was unmasked, and in the instant the metallic wall was torn open, black-red light streams burst forth like a beast breaking its chains.
Li Ming’s afterimage had not dissipated, while his real body had already smashed through the wall. The flying metal fragments melted into strands of golden-red beads, sparking bursts of flame.
Boom!
The ground of the Interstellar Fortress suddenly exploded, the black-red light column shooting as a sharp sword toward the nearby Star Gate Channel.
In this highly guarded area, the sudden change triggered immediate highest-level alerts.
All warships, fortresses, and outposts lit up with red alert lights.
Yet Li Ming had already converted all his enhancements into speed, shrouded by a Time Distortion Force Field, moving incredibly fast.
By his estimate, in less than a second, he could dive into the Star Gate Channel.
However, an extremely bizarre phenomenon occurred before him.
The surrounding space seemed infinitely stretched; every inch of space multiplying, the scenes of distant warships elongated into streams of dark-golden light.
And he felt as though he were on an endless track, no matter how fast he went, the Star Gate ahead remained unreachable.
“Infinite Corridor…” Li Ming’s heart sank. This was an advanced spatial application that infinitely stretched a short distance.
Ordinary infinite corridors could never trap his speed of escape.
