Chapter 147 You were almost done for!
Chapter 147 You guys almost died!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
One after another, figures with wings of battle aura shot in from all directions of the outer courtyard! All the elders outside had arrived, their faces extremely solemn as they hovered within the activated defensive array, their eyes fixed on the direction from which the pillar of light erupted, as if facing a formidable enemy!
Just now.
The space in front of everyone rippled slightly, and a familiar figure dressed in a blue and white robe, carrying a hint of awkwardness, quietly appeared. It was Huo Yuhao.
He raised his hand and waved it gently, and the dozens of layers of giant defensive shields that covered the outer courtyard disappeared as quickly as ice and snow melting away.
"Elders, please calm down." Huo Yuhao's voice carried a hint of reassurance, and a rare, extremely unnatural smile appeared on his face. "There are no enemies."
"No enemies?" Hu Qian frowned, looking at the slowly dissipating yet still terrifyingly powerful aura emanating from the distant mountains. "Then what was that just now—"
Huo Yuhao coughed lightly, his gaze drifting towards the ravaged mountain range. His tone carried a hint of helplessness and barely concealed embarrassment: "Ahem—I did some experiments over there."
"An experiment?" All the elders stared wide-eyed in disbelief, turning to look at Huo Yuhao.
Under the knowing looks of everyone, Huo Yuhao scratched his head, looking even more embarrassed, and added, "Um—there was a little—accident."
At this moment, a brutal and inhumane torment is unfolding within Huo Yuhao's mental world.
The consciousness of the Guardian Mirror materialized into a miniature, puffed-up Huo Yuhao, who was using all her "strength" to grab the hair of Huo Yuhao's mental projection with both tiny hands, shaking it violently while letting out a furious scream: "What were you doing just now! Huh?! Do you even know what you've done?!"
Its voice was so shrill it almost pierced through this mental world: "Thank goodness that was just a mental clone of yours! Thank goodness that hellhole is far enough away from your precious academy! Otherwise—"
"Um—" Huo Yuhao said with an embarrassed smile, trying to calm the rampaging Guardian Mirror.
"What the hell!" The Mirror of Guardians was even more furious at his appearance. She let go of his hair and instead viciously pinched Huo Yuhao's projection's cheeks, pulling them apart forcefully!
"That's power close to the level of a low-level Supreme Being, do you understand?! If you were any closer, you and your Canaan Academy would be finished by now!"
"Chirp!" Huo Yuhao's cheek was being pulled, and his pronunciation was unclear.
The Guardian Mirror released its grip, sighed, and said, "Alas! This was an accident. I don't know which frequency your Spirit Seal Sea connected with, but it all exploded. Normally, without an array diagram, it can't unleash its power."
Outside, in the nameless mountain range where Huo Yuhao condensed his spiritual seal.
No, it's no longer appropriate to describe it as a "mountain range" now.
The once rolling mountains have completely vanished. In their place lies a massive, spherical crater! The pit walls are smooth as a mirror, displaying a deep, crystalline appearance and radiating a chilling, eerie light.
Huo Yuhao's true form had arrived at the edge of the pit. He squatted down, stretched out his finger, and gently tapped the smooth crystalline pit wall with the curiosity of a researcher.
"clang----"
The sound was crisp and long, with a metallic quality.
"Unexpectedly sturdy," he muttered to himself.
Immediately afterwards, he applied slight pressure with his fingers, attempting to break off a small piece of the crystal to take back for research.
"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly. His first attempt at exerting force failed, and the crystal remained completely still. A flash of silver light appeared in his eyes as he channeled his powerful battle qi into his fingertips, causing his strength to surge dramatically!
click!
It wasn't until he used almost 80% of his strength that his fingertips managed to pry off a palm-sized, sharp-edged piece of deep crystal with a slight crack.
"So hard!" Huo Yuhao weighed the heavy crystal in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Hu Qian and Wu Tian, who had come with him, had no interest in the strange crystals scattered on the ground. Their gazes were fixed on the very center of the giant pit, as if drawn by a magnet!
That wasn't the bottom of a pit, but a huge, slowly rotating vortex suspended in the void!
Space itself left no fragments here, only space dust like fine sand, intertwined with spatial turbulence, forming a spatial vortex with a diameter of several hundred feet!
The center of the vortex was pitch black and deep, exuding a chilling aura of nothingness.
What's even more chilling is that the edge of the vortex is constantly spewing out fine, visible micro-space storms!
These storms, like invisible blades, frantically sliced through the relatively "stable" spatial barriers at the edge of the giant crater.
Each cut and collision sends apart fragments of space of varying sizes. Before these fragments can even disperse, they are captured by the spatial vortex, ground into finer powder, and absorbed into the vortex itself, causing it to expand at an extremely slow pace!
"This—what incredible power this is!" Hu Qian's voice was dry and hoarse, filled with shock and awe.
Wu Tian held his breath, his pupils reflecting the ever-shattering, reassembling, and grinding spatial scene.
A vague, instinctive perception of space began to quietly sprout and grow in their minds.
Huo Yuhao stored the deep crystal in his storage ring, his gaze turning solemnly to the slowly rotating spatial vortex. Looking at the structure that continuously spewed out miniature storms and devoured spatial fragments, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Within the spiritual world, the Guardian Mirror returned to the top of Huo Yuhao's head, its small face showing a rare look of confusion: "Strange—why is such a stable spatial vortex forming? Logically, it should only cause brief spatial turbulence—"
"This might be because—" Huo Yuhao speculated, "There is a miniature battle qi black hole inside that divine consciousness clone here."
"Did that black hole of fighting spirit become the anchor point of this spatial vortex during the energy eruption?"
Watching the terrifying vortex slowly expanding and eroding the surrounding stable space, Huo Yuhao frowned: "This thing—is a hidden danger. It would be safer to find a way to repair it as soon as possible—"
"Wait!" the Guardian Mirror called out, its little face instantly lighting up with the excited gleam of someone who had discovered a treasure. "Don't rush to repair it! This thing—it's still somewhat useful!"
"At its rate of development, it'll take at least several decades to gnaw at things to become unsolvable," the Guardian Mirror said excitedly. "Once you help me repair another part of my mirror body, I can use this vortex to give you the entire treasure! It'll be absolutely worth every penny!"
