I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 268 Open

Wen Yi quickly set up an isolation area around them, and then retreated to the edge of the square with Li Jia and Jun Yan.

At this moment, he was looking at the altar with great nervousness, his muscles were tense, and he was ready to rush over at any time.

Although he didn't know exactly how to build a portal, he knew the process would be extremely dangerous.

Since he couldn't help, he hoped to at least be able to improvise in times of crisis.

In front of the altar, Hei Yao was suspended in the air, holding a pitch-black heavy sword in his hand, and the next moment he slashed directly at the altar.

The sword blade made a dull sound when it touched the stone slab.

The two forces collided, forming a strong airflow around, and the sculptures around the altar became shaky.

At this moment, Hei Yao suddenly retracted his heavy sword, and the power of the sealing formation instantly rebounded.

However, immediately afterwards, the heavy sword fell again, and the sharp sword energy, wrapped in powerful mental power, slashed fiercely on the magic circle.

The huge sound of breaking through the air was deafening, and the collision of the two forces formed a cyclone with extremely destructive power.

The cyclone rushed everywhere, directly sweeping in all the sculptures around the altar, and then instantly crushed them into powder.

Fortunately, Wen Yi had set up an isolation area around it in advance, so the entire underground palace was not affected.

Next, Huo Linyuan used this method to create many cyclones.

Multiple cyclones collided with each other in the air, some merged to form larger cyclones, while others collided violently.

The energy released by the collision made the air around him even more violent. At this moment, Obsidian swung the heavy sword again and chopped it down fiercely.

This time he aimed at the stone slab in the center of the magic circle. Under the violent impact, the stone slab engraved with intricate patterns split directly in half.

Instantly, a beam of light carrying powerful energy shot up from the crack into the sky, directly piercing through the isolation field, and even creating a crack in the thousand-meter-thick ice layer.

At the same time, the turbulent cyclone was affected by the light column and instantly swept through the space around the altar, with signs of spreading to the surrounding areas.

Seeing this, Wen Yi immediately opened the shielding wall, but it had little effect.

The air is filled with high-energy particles, causing the shielding wall to become weak or strong at times.

In desperation, they had to retreat to an ice cave nearby.

At this moment, not only are energy particles rampant in the underground palace, but even the electromagnetic storm above the entire Hengtan Star is dozens of times stronger than before.

A terrible gale blew up in the sky, and the raging debris covered the sky and the sun.

The reinforcement team that was originally preparing to land had to change their plans and return to space after seeing this situation.

Obsidian, who was at the center of the cyclone, had been completely sucked into the storm and was in a very dangerous situation.

The hearts of the people watching from the side were in their throats.

Wen Yi moved slightly, and subconsciously wanted to rush into the storm to pull Huo Linyuan out.

Li Jia noticed his movements and coldly rebuked him: "If you want him to die faster, then go ahead."

Hearing this, Wen Yi immediately woke up as if from a dream and stopped.

He turned to look at Li Jia and said earnestly: "Please help me, Mr. Li Jia!"

In Wen Yi's opinion, since Li Jia can understand the mermaid language and knows how to open the portal, he must have a way to help Huo Linyuan.

However, Li Jia said angrily: "What can I do? It is your Marshal who wants to die. Who can stop him?"

His tone was very bad, as if he was venting all the pent-up anger in his heart on Wen Yi who bumped into him.

At this time, Jun Yan pulled his arm and shook his head at him disapprovingly.

Li Jia pursed his lips upon seeing this. After a while, he softened his attitude and said, "Once the construction of the portal begins, it will be impossible to stop it. All we can do is hope that it can withstand the energy shock that follows."

It's not that he's angry and doesn't want to help, but that he can't help. If he had a way, how could he just sit back and do nothing?

This is also the reason why Li Jia initially tried his best to stop Huo Linyuan.

As the saying goes, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. They can only watch helplessly whether they live or die.

From Li Jia's subsequent narration, Wen Yi understood what a portal was.

To put it simply, the portal is actually very similar to a wormhole. In the documents left behind by the mermaids, multiple layers of space were recorded, which is very close to the human theory of the multi-dimensional world.

The difference is that the mermaids believe that the universe is like a huge ball of wool, with different spatial levels representing lines of different colors.

They believe that there is no parallel world in the universe, but they support the simultaneous existence of the past, present and future.

And I firmly believe that time is an arc rather than a straight line.

This has further triggered the hypothetical theory of space-time channels, that is, when the folding and compression of space exceeds a certain limit, the space barrier can be torn apart, achieving the effect of traveling through time and space.

In fact, this has certain similarities with hypercurvature navigation, as both use the theory of space folding.

Hypercurvature navigation is to set up a curved track and use the curved surface to form space overlap to achieve a jumping speed, thereby obtaining a speed that exceeds the speed of light.

The mermaid tribe's theory of space-time channels can be applied to both traveling in distance and traveling in time.

If all conditions are met, it is even possible to travel into the past.

When the mermaids were facing the crisis of extinction, someone proposed the theory of time-space channel.

Unfortunately, the conditions for opening the time-space channel were too harsh. After many attempts, several generations of mermaid kings ultimately failed.

The most successful thing they did was to send Qi Yan to another time and space tens of thousands of years later, which was a hundred years ago.

This also directly exhausted the mermaids' last vitality.

Although the hypothetical theory of traveling through time and space to the past was ultimately not realized, it did indirectly confirm the feasibility of the space-time channel.

Li Jia looked at the central altar with a frown. He could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that the mermaid elders could help Huo Linyuan successfully complete the construction of the portal.

At this time, an extremely strong and domineering mental force broke through the storm and spread in all directions.

The shielding wall standing in front of Li Jia and his companions could not withstand the fierce impact and became shaky, and was about to be completely shattered.

The next moment, the raging storm suddenly dissipated.

However, before they could be happy, they saw Obsidian disintegrate uncontrollably and return to the space button.

Huo Linyuan fell from mid-air and knelt on one knee on the ground, instantly creating a big hole in the ground.

He vomited a large mouthful of blood uncontrollably.

"Marshal!" Wen Yi was horrified when he saw this scene, and he was extremely anxious.

At the same time, the violent and powerful mental force just now, with the terrifying power to tear apart the space, directly suppressed Wen Yi and made him unable to move.

This feeling was too familiar to Wen Yi. In the past three years, he had been haunted by this nightmare-like feeling almost all the time.

Huo Linyuan was injured, and it was the most serious mental damage. Generally speaking, the higher the mental power level of a person, the less likely they are to be injured.

For someone of Huo Linyuan's level, almost nothing can directly cause damage to his spiritual realm, except for the life-and-death battle three years ago.

Judging from the violent level of mental power around him at this moment, he was obviously more seriously injured this time than three years ago.

Huo Linyuan raised his head, his face turned pale due to the pain, but his eyes were so determined as he looked at the crack.

Then he picked up the fallen heavy sword, walked slowly towards the altar, and slashed at the light column with all his might, once, twice...

At the same time, the powerful mental force turned into sharp blades, constantly tearing the surrounding space.

"This madman actually..." Li Jia was completely shocked by the other party's desperate behavior.

At this moment, he completely refreshed his impression of Huo Linyuan. From now on, he felt that he no longer had any reason to hinder the other party.

However, Wen Yi suddenly came to his senses at this moment: "No, if this continues the entire planet will be destroyed!"

If this continues, once Huo Linyuan's mental strength collapses, not only them but the entire planet will collapse.

"Open it!!!"

Following Huo Linyuan's loud shout, a dazzling white light lit up and the underground palace began to shake.

The powerful energy instantly shattered the layers of defense in front of Wen Yi and the others. Under such overbearing mental pressure, Wen Yi couldn't even summon a mecha.

Jun Yan was quick to act and immediately protected Li Jia under him. At this time, the ice cave they were in began to collapse.

At the critical moment, a soft halo of light fell around them, forming a protective shield, which prevented them from being smashed into pieces.

After everything calmed down, Wen Yi kicked away the ice blocking the way ahead. At this time, Jun Yan also helped Li Jia stand up from the pile of broken ice.

However, after standing still, the three were shocked by the scene before them.

At this moment, with the altar as the center, a hole as big as a sinkhole was blown out in the ice layer several thousand meters thick above.

In the center of the altar, where the cracks first appeared, a barrier with flowing light now appeared.

Huo Linyuan, who was supposed to be on the altar, had already disappeared.

Several people looked at the flowing light and glanced at each other.

At the same time, a stream of colorful light also appeared deep in the forest of Sirius.

Then, a person walked out from the stream of light.
