Unexpected

Watching the spirit Ziyang disappear, Gu Jinlai glanced once more at the right hall of the Aries Star Palace, where the internal and external spatial scales were completely different.

"As far as I know, the energy released by one kilogram of refined special elements is only equivalent to 800,000 tons. Aries Star Palace even has space technology, so its defensive strength is beyond doubt. Withstanding a mere nuclear explosion should... perhaps... possibly... not be a problem."

He muttered to himself.

He resorted to this killer move in order to get a higher performance rating and better rewards.

I hope for a good outcome.

Another room in the Aries constellation.

The artifact spirit Ziyang went directly to the warehouse and began searching inside.

"Pay-to-win... pay-to-win... I remember that the master has a lot of it stored in his warehouse. Even if we don't extract several thousand kilograms of special pay-to-win elements, several hundred kilograms is still not a problem."

Talking to himself, he quickly found out all the in-game currency.

"Next, we will heat these hundreds of kilograms of the special elements extracted to 100 million degrees Celsius to carry out a polymerization reaction."

Ziyang's actions were very efficient.

He could tell that, Gu Jinlai had been using his simulation abilities to carry out their own ideas.

However, he did not reject this situation.

The Celestial Masters themselves were bold, unconventional, and innovative individuals.

The more powerful the Celestial Master, the more this is true.

As a spirit nurtured by the Aries Star Lord, Ziyang's personality is more or less influenced by the creator's style of doing things.

What harm is there in helping him simulate something if he can satisfy the ideas from Gu Jinlai?

"The in-game purchases are all here. Next, refinement and spirit sharing."

As Ziyang spoke, his spiritual state seemed to merge with the entire Aries constellation.

Aries has never been a weapon of war.

Compared to its astonishing defensive power, which even a true immortal on land cannot break through in a short time, its greatest function is to act as a spiritual amplifier and collector.

Aries can collect energy that exists in the real spiritual world by touching it, transform it into spiritual reserves, and then amplify it through Aries itself, enabling one person to perform the work of ten or even dozens of people.

Rather, it's under the condition that there's no need to worry about spiritual depletion.

In just one day, Ziyang has completed the extraction of one kilogram of trace elements.

"It's very complicated."

Ziyang said, "My efficiency in refining spiritual materials is even better than that of the Heavenly Lords who have come into contact with the real spirit world. With the help of the power of the Aries Star Palace, I increased my work efficiency by thirty times. Even so, it still took me a whole day to refine one kilogram of trace elements. Other Heavenly Lords who have come into contact with the real spirit world would need fifty to sixty days to achieve this goal, and that is without worrying about the consumption of spiritual consciousness."

If it weren't a Heavenly Lord who had contact with the true spirit world, but rather an ordinary Heavenly Lord...

It will take at least a year.

He glanced at the numerous in-game items in the warehouse...

It would probably take several months to extract all the special trace elements from these in-game items.

Furthermore, the energy of the Aries constellation cannot support his intense refining process for several months.

"My goal is simply to complete the simulation and collect data, one kilogram is fine."

Zi Yang turned his gaze away from the gold he was spending and towards the trace element he had extracted, which weighed a full kilogram.

"Next, will we heat these elements through a shared spiritual approach?"

He mobilized the power of the Aries constellation, rapidly infusing a large amount of spirituality into these trace elements in a manner similar to True Spirit possession.

Instantly, the temperature of the trace elements rose sharply.

Thirty thousand degrees, one hundred thousand degrees, three hundred thousand degrees, one million degrees...

When the temperature climbed to one million degrees, Ziyang already sensed something.

"The spirituality within these trace elements..."

The trace elements are undergoing a special change, seemingly coalescing to release energy.

It just releases very low power.

Just like burning charcoal.

The energy release from carbon is not bad, but because it is released slowly, it doesn't seem very powerful.

"Does it have to be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of degrees? And... after this trace element is refined... it's very light! It's one of the lightest trace elements I've ever encountered. Because it's light, it's easier for them to interact..."

Ziyang looked at it for a moment.

To further increase the temperature of this kilogram of trace element to tens of millions or hundreds of millions of degrees, he needs to draw on more energy from the Aries constellation.

However, the energy stored in the Aries constellation is limited.

If he doesn't want this Heavenly Dragon Descends operation to end immediately, he'll have to reduce the scale.

With this thought in mind, the amount of trace elements in one kilogram was reduced by another 90%.

It is precisely because he is integrated with the Aries constellation and maintains a shared spiritual state with the trace elements extracted from these gold coins that he is able to perform such refined operations.

"One-tenth of it can really only be used for experimental data collection."

Ziyang said something.

The next moment, the intensity of the spiritual energy he injected suddenly surged, and the trace elements vibrated violently under the stimulation of the spiritual power, releasing enormous heat energy in the process.

These thermal energies further altered their form of existence; something seemed to separate inside, causing their core to begin moving freely.

Under free motion, a certain component of trace elements begins to combine with other forms of energy...

However, due to the existence of some powerful repulsive force in the universe, this aggregation seems extremely difficult.

This scene made Ziyang frown.

The next moment, he continued to intensify his spiritual output.

The environment around the trace elements changed again, and the element cores that were disturbed by the repulsive force became more compatible. When the distance between these element cores shrank to a fraction of a billion, this force was broken.

Another, even more powerful and indescribably domineering force suddenly struck, forcefully grabbing the trace element core that was originally in a state of repulsion, and then...

They collided!

Strong nuclear force!

This feeling...

It's like a spaceship engine pushing itself to its limit, trying to fly out of this planet with its immense gravity.

Suddenly, the world spun around, and the rules of power were rewritten.

Detachment turned into a fall.

The explosion of the spaceship itself, the gravity between the stars, the collision and superposition of the two forces caused the already extremely fast spaceship to crash into the star at a speed even faster than when it flew out.

In an instant, unparalleled terrifying energy erupted in this collision, its speed far exceeding Zi Yang's reaction.

As he observed this change, he felt an unprecedented, dazzling radiance mixed with a terrifying energy that could annihilate all spirituality and thought, instantly filling his entire field of vision.

Even though he used a large amount of spiritual energy to create this body, it was completely useless in the face of such dazzling and brilliant light and energy that could annihilate everything.

His body disintegrated on the spot.

Like a sand sculpture in front of a tsunami, it was instantly crushed into dust.

On the other side, in the left hall, right hall, and front hall, Ziyang, who had separated his spiritual avatars, was instructing the celestial masters who were asking him questions or requesting his evaluation.

Suddenly, all of Ziyang's clones paused at the same time.

His expression immediately changed drastically.

"Not good!"

They simultaneously inspire spirituality, infusing every corner of the Aries sign.

The next moment, a terrifying and violent shockwave erupted from the depths of the Aries constellation.

The entire Aries constellation vibrated at an astonishing frequency.

Even though there were spatial barriers inside the Aries constellation, one could still vaguely see an extremely dazzling radiance shining out from the direction of the rear hall, carrying violent energy and frantically striking the entire Aries constellation.

"This is!?"

The celestial masters couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Buzz!"

Countless streams of light were activated.

All formations and restrictions within the Aries Palace have been activated.

Even under these conditions, it is still impossible to completely block out the vibration and bright light.

Amidst the roar, some walls cracked, and dust and debris fell continuously.

Some of the valuable porcelain pieces and sculptures on display also fell off, collapsed, or were even shattered on the spot.

The sudden change caused the celestial masters in the room to widen their eyes in surprise.

"What happened?"

"This tremor... could it be that someone is attacking Aries from the outside!?"

"To cause such a huge commotion... a True Immortal of the Land has made a move!? A True Immortal of the Land within Yuezhou... the legendary Wushi True Person of the Sanqing Temple!?"

Exclamations of surprise rang out from the crowd.

The eyes of each of the Celestial Masters were filled with apprehension.

Not only were the Celestial Masters inside the Aries Palace shocked and uneasy by this violent tremor, but Tianlongmu, who was outside the Aries Palace and had been lying on the ground quietly waiting for the Aries Palace process to end, was also suddenly awakened.

He suddenly stood up straight, opened his eyes wide, and looked around as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Roar!"

A deafening dragon roar erupted from his mouth.

The terrifying sound waves compressed the air, creating visible shockwaves that twisted and exploded in all directions.

Even those experts who had cultivated True Qi felt their brains ringing, as if they had been pierced by a tremendous force, and blood involuntarily spilled from their ears.

"Ah! What happened!?"

"Heavenly Dragon Wood... how..."

"Aries constellation! Look at the Aries constellation!"

Exclamations and screams rang out from outside the Aries constellation.

The already solemn and mysterious Aries constellation, which was in everyone's sight, was now even more radiant, and all the formations were activated.

After the formation had been circulating for a while, a dazzling radiance mixed with blazing flames seemed to be spewed out by the Aries Star Palace, forming a huge pillar of light with a diameter of tens of meters, shooting straight into the sky.

That intense, violent, and terrifying power...

Not to mention the cultivators in the Spirit Refining and Spirit Transformation Realm, even Tianlong Mu looked solemn.

The dazzling pillar of flame lasted for more than ten seconds.

It didn't dissipate until it seemed to pierce through the atmosphere, turning the sky a Dark Red.

Tianlongmu immediately turned his gaze toward the Aries constellation.

"Ziyang".

He growled, "What happened?"

"Fine."

A weak, feeble spiritual energy emanated from within. "The experiment... encountered a slight mishap."

"Accident?"

Tianlongmu glanced at Aries.

Even though Aries Palace activated all its formations immediately, most of these formations were for external use...

That power comes from within the Aries constellation.

Under the impact of this force, most of the rear hall, which served as the testing area and living area, has collapsed.

This...

Call it an accident?
