Chapter 1165: Chapter 597: The Power of the Void Anchor
But now it’s the Void Anchor making a move, and no matter how fast he is, he cannot escape.
And his Time Distortion Force Field cannot cover such a large area to resist.
"Time Distortion Field, Azure Dragon, I didn’t expect you to really infiltrate here..."
Spiritual fluctuations came from an unknown place, carrying a kind of astonishment, and suppressed excitement.
"Since you delivered yourself in, I won’t be polite."
As soon as the words fell, Li Ming abruptly felt himself trapped in some gelatinous space structure, every small forward movement dragged out an amber-colored shadow a kilometer long.
The surrounding space began splitting into interlocking Möbius loops, with all sorts of fantastic scenes appearing within them, starting to collapse toward the center.
A sensation of being bogged down in a swamp grew stronger, with the space barrier reinforced by the Void Anchor showing an ice-blue color.
"He intends to banish me..." Li Ming realized he was about to face the most powerful single-target attack of the Void Anchor.
If it takes shape, he might really fall here.
But the Void Anchor in front of him should also be in a damaged state, so it can’t immediately solidify and needs time.
"Two ways, either forcibly break it before it forms, or descend to the Holy Castle to seek help from the Observer..."
While Li Ming was pondering, a purple short-handled hammer had already appeared in his hand.
[Giant God’s Strike]launched fiercely, coursing through Li Ming’s fragile body was power he should not have been able to withstand.
The Infinite Hammer slightly trembled, then blossomed with increasingly dazzling brilliance, gathering terrifying power upon it, each tremor forming drumbeat-like ripples.
With Li Ming’s current energy level and all the empowerment, this strike had touched an eruption of 4000X, targeting precisely the void before him.
"Break for me!"
The hammer’s light tore out a crackled grating, fiercely smashing down.
Boom!
The whole world seemed to have the mute button pressed, and the surrounding space barrier converged toward the center and stagnated.
Then, an erupting shattering roar like a glass tsunami broke out.
An ice-blue heavenly vault resembling countless prisms pieced together, at this moment, spawned cobweb black scars.
The shock wave from the hammer formed a manifest giant purple ring, within which all matter began a reverse-collapse, the final defeat of the spatial lock from the Void Anchor, akin to a glacier falling into a fire sea.
The tumultuous aftermath swept away, shattering the entire area, a Void Storm howled and rampaged in all directions,
In the void.
A burly middle-aged man looked aghast, holding in his hands a black anchor full of cracks, "Forcefully... broke it?"
Even though the Void Anchor’s banishment had not fully formed, no one had ever escaped during this process.
The scene before his eyes was truly shaking his perception, and a few words floated in his mind—not for nothing, Azure Dragon.
However, after a brief astonishment, he quickly adjusted his mind, preparing to continue maneuvering the Void Anchor, intending to seal again.
After all, this was only one seal, he wanted to see how many times Azure Dragon could resist.
Yet, what happened next left him somewhat uncertain.
Seeing the figure in the void, its aura plunged into an extremely debilitated state, even to the extent of being barely alive.
The next moment, cracks suddenly appeared on that body’s surface, then abruptly shattered, flowing light splashed, life force completely collapsed,
"Dead, dead?"
He was stunned, his mind slowed a beat, completely unable to react.
Azure Dragon, just died like that?
An incredible emotion surged up in him.
But just in a moment, the exploded body’s flowing light retracted, recondensed together, that fiery aura surged...
No, why does it still seem so weak?
The series of bizarre events happening now left him incomprehensible, further making it difficult to respond immediately.
It was in that moment of bewilderment, the red-black flowing light did not remain idle, it already swept into the closing Star Gate Channel.
"No good!" His face drastically changed, his figure flickered to the star gate’s front, yet he forcibly stopped, not chasing in.
Azure Dragon escaped into the Star Gate Channel, where every slight movement corresponded to an uncomputable distance in the Main Universe.
The opponent could break the Star Gate Channel at any moment, falling into the Main Universe, making tracking impossible.
Blindly pursuing it wasn’t advantageous for him.
As the Federation’s Titan Holy Artifact holder, his primary goal was to protect the Void Anchor in his hands, without allowing any accidents.
Their clash didn’t even exceed five seconds.
The energy aftermath only now barely influenced the surrounding warship fortresses, setting off a chain explosion with unknown bounds, flames forming a giant curtain around.
His face looked grim, just gently stretched out his hand, the Void Anchor trembled, space fluctuations swept out, repairing the damage just done, and eradicating the residual energy waves.
At this moment, the alarms throughout the area only just sounded the third time.
A large number of evolved bodies flew out from outposts in all directions, warily scanning the surroundings, bewildered and at a loss.
"Someone attacked?"
Costate and others arrived barely late, their faces somber, brows tightly knitted, staring at the surrounding warship wreckage.
Although the energy aftermath raged only briefly, the damage was hard to estimate, at least over 100,000 warships shattered because of it.
"Mr. Holmes..." Heins approached to greet, given his character, even he dared not act arrogant before this man.
Not only was the other person the user of the Void Anchor, but their strength was second only to Alves, holding a special status.
He cautiously asked, "What happened, did someone attack?"
Holmes’s cheeks were like weathered rock, determined and stern, random white stubble distributed on his chin.
His expression was still unpleasant, he spat out two words: "Azure Dragon."
"It’s Azure Dragon?" Schmidt was lost, Costate’s face slightly changed.
Heins’s pupils contracted, angrily said, "He actually assaulted here? Why didn’t you keep him here?"
He instinctively questioned, then inwardly cursed a bad feeling, only feeling a chill over his body as Holmes coldly swept his gaze over.
His expression changed, hurriedly explained, "Don’t misunderstand, I just want to..."
"Being able to repel him is good." Costate couldn’t help but mediate, "He probed here, something we anticipated, thanks to Mr. Holmes."
"The loss now isn’t big, only a few warships."
At the mention of this, Holmes’s expression fell, without joining the conversation, looking towards another direction.
Seeing Holmes’s reaction, uneasiness filled Costate, instinctively following his gaze, his breath caught.
In that area, a heavily guarded Interstellar Fortress had a surface burst open with a hole.
"That is... the central warehouse, with all materials stored within it." Schmidt was nearly out of control, incredulously said: "He... he... didn’t come killing from the outside?"
The short, urgent event just now left everyone unclear about the situation.
"He broke out from the inside." Holmes finally spoke, voice muffled: "I also discovered strange space fluctuations inside through the Void Anchor."
"Quick, quick, contact Nokes, have him seal the Star Gate!" Heins breathed heavily, seemingly guessing what happened.
"Too late." Holmes shook his head but did not stop Heins’s actions.
The few descended to the warehouse with unease, upon entering, their already half-cold hearts turned completely cold.
They stood in the metal materials storage room, Schmidt’s face pale as if in an ice cellar, "It’s empty, this... this was, these were materials transported at a huge cost, and just like that, he evacuated them!"
The value of these materials in itself was one aspect, but the price paid to transport them here was enormous.
Heins’s eyes filled with bloodshot veins, gritting his teeth, pressing out a low growl from his throat: "How on earth did he infiltrate!"
Costate’s expression was indifferent, his reaction not as intense as the other two.
After all, these materials did not come from the Empire.
He unconsciously followed the other’s gaze and looked over, breathing came to a halt.
There was an interstellar fortress heavily guarded in that area, but its surface was blown open with a breach.
"That’s... the central warehouse, with all the materials stored in it." Schmidt was nearly out of control, incredulously said: "He... he... didn’t come killing from the outside?"
They stood in the metal materials storage room, Schmidt’s face pale as if in an ice cellar, "It’s empty, this... this was, these were materials transported at a huge cost, and just like that, he evacuated them!"
Heins’s pupils covered in bloodshot, gritted his teeth, squeezing out a low roar from his throat: "How on earth did he infiltrate!"
Costate’s expression was indifferent, reacting nowhere near as intensely as the other two.
After all, these materials were not supplied by the Empire.
In his view, Costate was now standing and speaking without any pain.
