After a day of rest and recuperation, the Xun Yuan Hao slowly sailed toward the Desolate Main Star. As the distance steadily closed, the outline of the gray planet grew clearer: its surface was shrouded in thick gray mist, like an enormous curtain that completely concealed the world within. From time to time, gray pillars of energy shot up through the mist, linking with the Desolate Energy in the starry sky to form a vast energy network. This was the outer defensive formation of the Desolate Main Star—the Desolate Sky Net.
"Lord Shen, the energy fluctuations of the Desolate Sky Net are extremely intense. Its rune density is more than three times that of the Source Severing Formation." Xing Miao operated the detection instrument. The screen displayed the defensive formation's rune distribution and energy nodes. "According to Senior Ku Xuan's guidance, this formation can not only defend against external attacks, but also automatically identify foreign energy. Once we approach, we will be locked onto instantly."
Shen Hao stood before the observation window, Melting Desolation Dao Rhyme flowing in his eyes as he carefully observed the energy currents of the Desolate Sky Net. He could sense that the formation's runes followed the operational logic of the Desolate Rules, interweaving to form an impregnable barrier. Yet everything had a flaw. The Desolate Rules pursued unification; although the formation's runes were dense, they lacked the ability to adapt flexibly.
"Forcing our way in is absolutely impossible," Shen Hao said in a deep voice. "Elder Xing Miao, try using Space Runes to disrupt the formation's energy fluctuations and create a brief energy blind spot. Elder Qinghe, prepare the Vitality Purification Technique. Purify the Star Sea origin aura on us at any moment, so the formation will not recognize us. Elder Shi Pan, blend Gold
