Limit breaking and forbidden spells
Listening to the additional knowledge provided by Chen Le and Li Nian, Lin Yu also supplemented his own knowledge.
Despite having top-tier connections like Hannah, Lin Yu knew more about the Middle Sea of Pure Ruins than the average "Player," and was also familiar with the Deity there.
However... Lin Yu's understanding of the racial structure of the Outer Sea and the hidden and lost history of the Mu Continent was indeed not detailed enough.
These rumors, which shouldn't be considered obscure... were indeed the first time Lin Yu had heard them.
And after learning this information...
Lin Yu naturally made a similar judgment to Li Nian and Chen Le.
"If there really is an ancient facility there capable of housing this treasure, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look," Lin Yu agreed with the two, but then immediately raised his own question, "However... I'm very curious, since it's inside [Azure Sea Sky Dome], how do we get in?"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Chen Le also fell into thought again, "That's right, [Azure Sea Sky Dome] is a very difficult barrier to overcome. It can't be destroyed by brute force, and it can't be bypassed... How we get in is indeed a big problem."
Lin Yu sighed, "Brother Le, have you forgotten... what Li Nian just said was that she saw the facilities that matched this Dagger inside."
"In other words, A Nian actually went inside."
Then, Lin Yu turned his gaze to Li Nian: "So, stop beating around the bush and tell me quickly—how did you get in by bypassing [Azure Sea Sky Dome]?"
When Li Nian heard Lin Yu ask this, she smiled and replied.
She was indeed waiting for Lin Yu to ask her.
"Hehe," Sister Zhu Ming said, "Of course, it's not difficult for a 'Master Thief,' because one of the basic skills of 'stealing' is to bypass the 'blockade' and get somewhere!"
"This [Azure Sea Sky Dome] is nothing more than a slightly more advanced door and lock. Since I'm known as the 'Master Thief,' I can easily pick this Daoist Sect and sneak in!"
As Li Nian spoke triumphantly, Lin Yu stepped forward and flicked her forehead.
Speak like a human being.
"Ouch!"
Li Nian gently clutched her head and cried out in pain, then quickly said, "I was wrong, sister, I'll tell you... it's [Limit Breaking Jade]!"
"Because the original [Azure Sea Sky Dome] worked by leveraging the power of the 'Death game,' it prevented even the highest-ranking Native and 'Player' from entering—it used the 'Death game' to establish a 'no entry' Rule."
"Therefore... [Limit Breaking Jade] can naturally solve it—and it is very likely the only way to solve it."
Li Nian said proudly.
Lin Yu and Chen Le were both slightly shocked as they listened to Li Nian's proud words.
"Amazing! As expected of A Nian!"
Chen Le gave Li Nian a perfunctory compliment, then looked at Lin Yu with disbelief in his eyes.
Because Chen Le holds a higher position and understands the Pure Ruins world better, he knows even more...
The fact that [Azure Sea Sky Dome] works by relying on a "Death game" is just too outrageous!
This not only demonstrates the high status of the [Azure Sea Sky Dome] Item, but also indirectly indicates...
The Mu Continent that was destroyed back then, and the Lost Kingdom that created the [Azure Sea Sky Dome], may have had a level of civilization development far beyond their imagination.
In that vanished kingdom, at least at the highest level of power, they have come across the ability to research and develop [Item] that can utilize the Rule the "Death game"—a realm only the Central Mechanism of the "Gray Domain" can reach.
Lin Yu knew very well that the Central Mechanism of the Gray Domain was the result of the merging of the three World Will.
So... how did the founder of that Lost Kingdom, that Deity who seemed to wield the Two Authorities of "the Ocean and the Storm," manage to do it?
Is it a coincidence, or is it due to an imbalance in academic performance?
Based on the message Shen Bingmiao left him before disappearing, Lin Yu also knew that when this Deity condensed the "Ocean" Authority, he had extracted the "Ocean" concept from the Barren Realm across worlds.
While other Deity might also be able to do this, it certainly wouldn't be a simple matter for Deity; it would likely require some planning and preparation...
But now Lin Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
Was it really a difficult task for that Deity to extract concepts and condense the Authority the "Ocean" across worlds back then?
Or perhaps, Lin Yu now even has a bold guess in his mind.
Is the "God of Ocean and Storm"... truly entitled to such a high status simply because He is the god of the "Ocean" and the "Storm"?
For some reason, Lin Yu had a vague feeling...
Considering the legends of the Lost Kingdom, the information provided by Shen Bingmiao, the attitude of the God of Banquets when mentioning the "Sea God," and the special nature of [Azure Sea Sky Dome], Lin Yu felt that the distinction between "Authority" and the Divine Rank of "Deity" might not be a significant leap for Him...
To possess Two Authorities and become Deity might just be... "icing on the Sea God," or even a means to an end.
But if this speculation Make It Real, Lin Yu would soon realize another, even more terrifying fact.
That is...
Even with such a high-ranking existence, even with a kingdom and civilization built upon it...
Ultimately, it was destroyed!
How did He fall, and how did the civilization He built become extinct?
The Sinking of Mu Continent has always been an unsolved mystery in the Nether Void Realm, but now... Lin Yu, as an Otherworlder, is experiencing for the first time the gloom brought about by this mystery that shrouds the entire world.
For a fleeting moment...
Lin Yu even hesitated for a moment.
"If [Azure Sea Sky Dome] is so strange... perhaps it wouldn't be a wise choice for us to rashly head to that ruin to try and restore the instruments corresponding to the 'Nine Treasures'."
After hesitating, Lin Yu still did not voice his concerns or express his desire to temporarily retreat to his two "Freedom Alliance" companions.
The words Lin Yu uttered ultimately remained...
"You probably don't have many [Limit Breaking Jade] left. After the 'Gray Domain' incident, you can't get any more [Limit Breaking Jade] to replenish, so use them sparingly, A Nian —even though you have a few hundred, stagnant water eventually runs out."
As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian seemed somewhat confused.
"But how do we get into [Azure Sea Sky Dome] then?"
Lin Yu silently pulled a Kitchen Knife from his pocket.
"I didn't leave empty-handed from my last trip to the 'Gray Domain' —this Kitchen Knife I have can be considered a reusable [Limit Breaking Jade]."
As the Sea Moth set sail towards a ruin covered by a vast expanse of Azure Sea Sky Dome in the Outer Sea...
The battles within the Middle Sea and the Museum have reached an even more intense climax!
The "Celestial King's" "Heart Domain" and "Pure Violence Aesthetics" were fully unleashed, empowering the massive spell she had just cast after chanting and guiding the incantation.
Outside the Museum, and even in the sky beyond the sea, a purple ring-shaped Magic Array stretches for hundreds of meters. Intricate incantations slowly rotate along a track-like magic circuit, like a precision instrument assembled from hundreds of gears. Coupled with the constantly flashing light that flickers like breathing, it gives people the most exquisite, violent, and gorgeous visual experience.
This is a "Destruction Forbidden Spell" level magic. In the Night Valley Realm, any scroll that records even a little bit of knowledge about this kind of spell is highly dangerous and needs to be controlled. Scrolls that directly record how to cast this kind of spell are almost never allowed to circulate in the world, and there are basically only one or two unique copies.
Such Forbidden Spell are far more terrifying than ordinary Forbidden Spell. Once formed, they almost always signify the imminent arrival of a small-scale catastrophe—the destructive power and lethality are at least equivalent to a Pillar-level Demon unleashing its full source power into reality.
The magical power required to construct this spell alone could instantly drain two or three Sages- level mages.
But...
At this moment, the "Celestial King" had completed the construction of the magic, and his magical power was still abundant.
Certainly...
This does not mean that the Celestial King created this Forbidden Spell without any pressure.
At this moment, although he stood firmly beneath this terrifying array of spells, holding his staff in one hand, the Celestial King's own body was already... utterly mangled!
Her skirt was covered in tears, and there were constantly bleeding stab wounds on her abdomen and chest—white light flashed within those wounds, clearly possessing some kind of irreparable quality.
Standing opposite the Celestial King, the "Swordsman" who caused the wound had his Bamboo Hat torn, revealing his long, flowing hair, his unadorned heroic face, and an old scar across his face.
Although the Swordsman didn't have any obvious external injuries, judging from his longsword, which was already riddled with cracks, and his slightly trembling hands...
The "Swordsman" was also in a bad situation.
Both "Tier 4" players have now pushed themselves to near their limits—something neither of them had anticipated.
After all...
If they only consider the other party as an opponent, they might be able to hold back.
But...
Another participant in this battle was a card that had just gone mad.
However, the two "Tier 4" players are now nearing their limit, and even the "Chosen of God" Ka is not having an easy time.
The enormous Doppelganger had long since lost its Combat Power; all eight tentacles had been severed and lay on the ground, and because there was no food available, it could not recover.
From the beginning, Ka had been using his own body, wielding a spatula and cleaver, to fight the two men. At this moment, Ka's half-human-sized body was also standing at the other end, forming a triangle with them.
All three sides paused briefly to catch their breath, clearly gathering their last strength in preparation for a final blow.
And the first to complete this accumulation process...
This is naturally the "Celestial King," who has already fully constructed the Magic Array.
"Thank you both for delivering a magnificent battle!"
"But... now, it's time to end this!"
As the Celestial King spoke, he uttered the name of the Forbidden Spell that had already been completed.
"All stars were burned away, and evil flames fell from the sky!"
