At the edge of the Oort Cloud, inside the rogue asteroid converted into a hidden base, spectral blue energy patterns raced across the surface of the Shadow Fang device, giving off a low, dangerous hum. Spatial fluctuations rippled violently outward from it like water disturbed by a stone, only to be tightly confined within a limited radius by the base's powerful suppression field.
"Shadow Fang fully charged. Spatial coordinates locked: three hundred meters beneath the target area, at the core of the energy signature. Launch sequence initiated." The shadow captain's cold electronic voice echoed through the empty control room.
There was no countdown, no warning.
The pitch-black device, shaped like a creature's fang, vanished from its mounting frame in an instant! Rather than flying conventionally, it performed an ultrashort-range, ultraprecise spatial jump! The spatial ripples it generated were compressed to the absolute limit, making them almost impossible to detect!
At the Thunder Temple, Lin Ye maintained his [Thunder Emperor Descends] form. The "thunder net," created by deeply integrating his [Chaos Thunder Body]'s sensory field with the temple's defense system, operated at maximum power. Every energy flow, every material change, even the faintest spatial fluctuation within hundreds of kilometers of the temple appeared in his perception as clearly as the lines on his palm.
Suddenly!
At the outermost edge of the thunder net, in a patch of space toward the Oort Cloud, an infinitesimal yet razor-sharp spatial crease appeared without warning! Like the sharpest needle, it silently pierced the membrane of space!
Here it comes!
Lin Ye's pupils contracted, and lightning erupted around his entire body! [Thunderflash: Time Lag] activated instinctively, slowing everything around him in his eyes as he tried to catch the attack's trajectory!
But it was too fast! The attack was neither an energy beam nor a
