Core
This lump of [Starry Sky Forbidden Land] could wipe out the world if dumped on a planet.
The [Taiyi Fire-Repelling Divine Talisman] remains powerful, isolating the high temperature of the Incandescent Fire Domain, even including the terrifying high-temperature energy spheres hidden within.
However, the energy supply was not fast enough, causing the water film to occasionally "leak" in, making everyone scream in pain from the heat.
The commander stopped and looked back. Three hundred high-level players had completely lost their fighting ability and were being pulled along by Spells like cargo. Most of the Legendary players were also pale and their breathing was unstable.
He ordered the water film radius to be tightened again to seven meters, then looked at the fifty-two Legendary players.
"Force your way through! Activate all defensive skills, shields, and resistance potions! Keep cooling Spells active! Healers, keep a close eye on status!"
The commander practically roared. At this point, they had to go in and try.
The team changed formation again, with the Legendary player, who had the strongest defense and highest fire resistance, at the forefront. He raised the combined shield and, like a heavy metal can, crashed headlong into the incandescent inferno.
Aside from the extremely Berserk Fire Element, other Mana Attributes, elements, and even the energy they themselves release are being rapidly assimilated by the environment here.
Every kilometer they advanced was accompanied by enormous energy expenditure. Legendary players took turns going forward to maintain the shields, and most of them were pale-faced.
As if Crossing the deepest levels of hell, crossing hundreds of kilometers, when the players at the forefront felt the surrounding blazing white light finally begin to weaken and the temperature drop, they looked back and saw that the players behind them were not in good condition.
They finally passed through the "spherical shell" and entered the "inside" of the [Starry Sky Forbidden Land].
However, the scene inside was once again beyond their expectations.
There were no palaces, towers, or any buildings as expected. There were no raging flames, not even Berserk elemental currents.
This is a relatively "tranquil" huge spherical space filled with faint starlight.
From a striking silver-white building, an astonishingly concentrated amount of Ice Element slowly flowed out and drifted into the distance.
In the center of the space, the Astral Remains Core, which slowly rotated like a miniature galaxy and exuded a warm and powerful Mana, was clearly visible.
Beside the Astral Remains, a figure dressed in a dark blue robe, surrounded by floating silver books, stood with his back to them.
He stood there Jingjing, seemingly absorbed in admiring the Astral Remains, oblivious to the charred remains of the Yuncang army that had stormed in behind him.
This final boss-like scenario in the game made the commander panic.
The BOSS slowly turned around, his movements were very gentle, and he had an expression that was out of place with the solemn atmosphere around him. The hem of his dark blue robe fluttered gently as he turned around, like ripples spreading on the sea, and the ends of his hair were tinged with a faint glow in the warm halo of the Astral Remains Core.
Su Luo looked at the disheveled players, lost in thought.
These guys were running faster than Su Luo herself in the Fire Domain, since Su Luo couldn't move freely within the Incandescent Fire Domain.
He needed to take a detour through several hidden, secure passages reserved within the Incandescent Fire Domain for signal transmission and energy regulation.
Judging from their appearance, it was clear that they hadn't found the passage through some special means. Instead, it seemed that they had simply relied on some powerful Abjuration gear and a near-suicidal energy infusion to "plow" a path through the Black Flames and blazing white inferno.
They really know how to do things.
The bald man was slightly out of breath, greedily absorbing the pure Mana continuously emanating from the Astral Remains in the core area. The Mana here was gentle yet abundant, completely different from the Berserk outside.
He gripped the long rapier tightly, his gaze like that of a hawk, scanning Su Luo up and down, assessing the threat posed by this ultimate target.
The commander wasted no time, his mind racing as he rapidly analyzed the situation and environment while subtly conveying instructions to his remaining subordinates through extremely concealed gestures and glances.
Spread out, maintain an arc-shaped formation, and keep mobile. Healers should prioritize restoring Legendary units. For scouting units, target the World Master as the highest priority. Prepare for surprise attacks; the enemy may be waiting for reinforcements, or... Be careful to approach while simultaneously restoring status.
The commander calculated the time; forty minutes had passed since they arrived at the [Starry Sky Forbidden Land]. The Wardens of the three nearby islands were almost there, or had even reached the outer edge of the Fire Domain!
Su Luo lowered her eyes and remained silent, her Mana slowly surging forth and soaring into the sky.
At the same time, a small disc on the commander's body began to beep.
[High-concentration Mana entity detected at close range (suspected Pillar!)]
[Target: Directly ahead (suspected World Master)]
[Estimated Mana Attribute Strength: 521±5 (Standard)]
[Note: The values exceed the upper limit of the standard Legendary rank (Lv.80-Lv.89) model by approximately 60%-95%, indicating abnormal energy solidification. A reassessment of the threat level is recommended.]
Meanwhile, a player specializing in reconnaissance used their skill to discover part of Su Luo's Attribute panel and circulated it to the commander, who focused on the Main Attribute.
[Spirit: 221]
He was roughly on par with the powerful Wardens outside, and even weaker than some of the Legendary players present, but the commander was even more cautious.
This panel looks definitely wrong!
In the study of the Yuncang Civilization, although the player's "Mana /spiritual power/ Qi" and other blue bar Attributes are affected by multiple factors such as race, class, skills, and equipment, and fluctuate within a considerable range, their core upper limit is strongly correlated with the Main Attribute and has a certain conversion ratio.
Taking the spirit Attribute as an example, a typical legendary Legendary- based player with 220 spirit will usually have Mana Attribute that fluctuates between 440 and 460.
The highest recorded level in Yuncang was 475 in Mana Attribute was 220, and it reached 484 with equipment and buffs, which is considered to be a theoretical limit.
The World Master before them was 521. According to the non-linear calculation of the [Ten Thousand Worlds] Attribute, the World Master's mana was more than four times that of the recorder.
Is his body completely empty, filled entirely with Mana?
It's not the commander's fault. For example, imagine you're going to the toilet with a guy next to you, and you're both desperately holding it in, but his poop is more than four times yours, and it's even more yellow. Wouldn't you suspect his lower abdomen is full of bladders?
Su Luo and the players stared at each other for nearly two minutes.
The players managed to pull themselves back from the brink of defeat using expensive consumables and began preparing for an attack and closing in.
Su Luo used her Appraisal to collect the panel information of everyone in front of her, and also used her enhanced perception to record everyone's status, analyzing out many weaknesses.
There were two people who drew his attention, and the information they identified was rather unique.
An ordinary-looking man and a seemingly frail girl—these two should be the so-called strategic core. The identified panel is as follows:
[People]
[Attributes: omitted]
[Skills: Big Eater,..., Treasure Chest,...]
[People]
[Attributes: omitted]
[Skills: Flower Armor,..., Talent Copy,...]
