You Don't Mind If I Steal a Little Electricity, Do You?
After seeing the Elder Seven off, Chen Fan walked alone up the City Wall of the Northbank Defense Line. Standing on the City Wall, he looked out to the Seaside. The fishy smell brought by the sea breeze made him more awake.
The temperature is gradually decreasing.
The Rainy Season is over, and the new year has arrived.
After a brief pause, he suddenly conjured a Copper Pipe composed of white lines, which fell to the ground in the instant it solidified. With lightning speed, he caught it and held it high in the air.
Transform it into an "illusory" state.
The "Copper Pipe," in a phantom state, floats steadily in mid-air.
Chen Fan pondered, running his hand back and forth between the Copper Pipes in their illusory state. It was as if they were in a different dimension, completely untouchable. In this state, the Copper Pipes had no load-bearing capacity whatsoever.
It can be said that...
No attack can damage this Copper Pipe.
Illusion can be considered the highest level of defense.
But.
There is a building that can interact with this Copper Pipe, and that is the fully upgraded "Gondola". The Gondola can float on the surface of any building, even if the Copper Pipe is in a virtual state, as long as it is a building, it can interact with it.
Therefore, a plan began to vaguely emerge in his mind.
One hour later.
Port of Mortal Domain.
Dozens of members of the Mortal Domain War Pavilion rushed to the Harbor after hearing the summons. When they arrived, what came into view was a huge, Sky-Piercing Pillar, standing alone in the Wasteland.
It is hundreds of meters high.
Even with a dozen people stretching their arms, they couldn't hug him.
It wasn't placed alongside the more than two hundred Sky-Piercing Pillars next to it.
Besides.
There are also eight parallel, floating, Phantom Copper Pipes, on which eight High-Speed Rail Phantom Copper Pipe mounted, making it look like an aerial platform at first glance.
"Domain Lord!"
Zhou Mo, who led the team, jogged up to Chen Fan.
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded slightly, pointed to the newly forged "Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar," and indicated, "Bring the War Pavilion Members and knock down this Sky-Piercing Pillar, preferably landing it precisely on that platform."
He wanted to try and see if he could send the Sky-Piercing Pillar to the Thunderstorm Sea.
Such a large resource cannot be extracted.
It's truly heartbreaking.
If this plan succeeds, he will be qualified to provide initial support to the Eternal Night Front.
And if the Defense Line Seven suddenly faces a crisis, he can provide immediate support to prevent Defense Line Seven from falling.
He wasn't sure exactly how powerful a max-level or Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar would be, but he felt it wouldn't be as powerful as so many Godslayer Cannons firing simultaneously on the Northbank Defense Line. Its main advantage lay in its strategic nature, the ability to quickly support distant areas.
This thing flies much faster than High-Speed Rail.
"No problem!"
Zhou Mo was extremely confident. He immediately looked at the dozens of War Pavilion Members he had brought and strode towards the Sky-Piercing Pillar. There were more than 30 or 40 people, all of whom were Martial Kings, and all of them were Martial King had reached the Perfect Body Tempering!
This doesn't even include all the Martial Kings in the Mortal Domain.
There are many more Martial Kings not near the Mortal Domain.
After all, War Pavilion Members do not engage in production on a daily basis and spend most of their time cultivating. Cultivation progresses much faster than that of other Mortal Domain Member. In addition, with the existence of the "Spirit-Nurturing Pavilion" in the Mortal Domain, becoming Martial King is not a very rare thing.
Soon.
Dozens of Martial Kings stood around the Sky-Piercing Pillar, roaring as they exerted their strength in unison. Spiritual energy surged forth, and the veins on their arms and necks bulged. The power of dozens of Martial Kings using their full strength at the same time was unimaginable.
The Sky-Piercing Pillar reaching to the sky began to tremble slightly.
It has been shaken.
After several dozen breaths, the Sky-Piercing Pillar sat firmly in place, while the dozens of Martial Kings sat panting on the ground, covered in sweat. "Useless trash."
Chen Fan sighed softly. This Martial King was too useless. It seemed he needed to control the amount of Eerie Stones allocated to the War Pavilion; it felt like a complete waste. "Domain Lord."
Zhou Mo jogged up to Chen Fan, slightly out of breath and embarrassed, and said, "This Sky-Piercing Pillar is too heavy. If... if I were to ride Flying Boat parallel to the Sky-Piercing Pillar and push it from the top, I should be able to move it."
"Never mind."
Chen Fan waved his hand.
The next moment
Several Godslayer Cannons on the Northbank Defense Line slowly turned their direction, aiming their muzzles at the massive Sky-Piercing Pillar reaching to the sky. The white Vein Patterns on the cannons were instantly illuminated, and the Godslayer Cannons fired simultaneously at the Sky-Piercing Pillar.
"Boom!!"
The Scarlet Grade energy sphere slammed heavily into the Sky-Piercing Pillar.
Countless fragments immediately flew off the surface of the Sky-Piercing Pillar, but under the powerful shockwave, the Sky-Piercing Pillar began to tilt slowly, and when it exceeded a certain angle, it crashed heavily to the ground.
A lot of dust was kicked up.
After the dust settles.
Chen Fan walked to the base of the Sky-Piercing Pillar and looked at the Sky-Piercing Pillar lying horizontally on the Wasteland. The panel showed that the Sky-Piercing Pillar had been destroyed and could no longer store energy. The "Gondola" on the aerial platform was crushed instantly, leaving no trace.
The Sky-Piercing Pillar pierced through the illusory Copper Pipe and crashed heavily to the ground.
Chen Fan frowned slightly as he pondered. It seemed that transporting the Sky-Piercing Pillar to the "Thunderstorm Sea" was somewhat unrealistic.
The Gondola has a very weak load-bearing capacity, but it is the only structure that can interact with the Copper Pipes in the virtual state.
This thing is a bit too heavy.
This path is not feasible.
After a while.
He strode towards the entrance of the Harbor's Undersea Tunnel. He planned to go to the New Continent to see the "Thunderstorm Sea" for himself. Since he couldn't transport the Sky-Piercing Pillar to the Thunderstorm Sea, he might as well try to draw the lightning from the Thunderstorm Sea to the "Mortal Domain."
Several hours later.
Chen Fan arrived at the New Continent and had just stepped off the platform when he saw King Mazi anxiously waiting at the exit. He immediately strode over to greet him. "Domain Lord, I heard from Crippled Monkey that you're going to take a closer look at the Thunderstorm Sea."
"Just let us do whatever it is."
"The Thunderstorm Sea is too dangerous. If you get caught in it, you're almost guaranteed to die. I've survived two Thunderstorm Seas, and I'm sure I can come back alive a third time."
"Need not."
Chen Fan walked past King Mazi and strode forward, speaking softly.
"You're coming with me. We don't need to get too close to the Thunderstorm Sea; we'll check it out from a relatively safe spot."
Travel by Sea Ship.
Going to sea.
Three Sea Ships departed from the Harbor of the New Continent and set sail in a grand procession toward the "Thunderstorm Sea"!
After a while.
Chen Fan stood on the deck of the Sea Ship, looking closely at the "Thunderstorm Sea" in front of him. It was about several hundred meters away. The waves were already huge, and the ship was rocking violently. He looked at the scene in front of him and remained silent.
Only by witnessing the Thunderstorm Sea.
Only then could we realize how impossible it was for King Mazi to lead the members of the Commerce Pavilion to make a round trip through the Thunderstorm Sea; it was a miracle. A thick layer of dark clouds covered the Thunderstorm Sea.
Countless bolts of lightning flashed continuously through the dark clouds and struck the sea surface, where endless, Strange Entities could be vaguely seen trapped in the churning water, howling in agony.
A scene that resembled Hell.
"Have you tried flying over the Thunderstorm Sea? From the air?"
Chen Fan looked up at the sky above the Thunderstorm Sea.
"I've tried it."
King Mazi shook his head. "It's impossible. The dark clouds above the Thunderstorm Sea are extremely thick. We tried to cross those clouds, but as we got closer, the speed at which the Flying Boat consumed the Eerie Stones suddenly began to increase rapidly. In just a few breaths, we consumed tens of thousands of Eerie Stones."
"Luckily, we carried a lot of Eerie Stones, otherwise we might have run out of Eerie Stone and fallen into the Thunderstorm Sea."
"But even if we carry a lot of Eerie Stones, it may be difficult to pass through. The closer we get to the Thunderstorm Sea, the faster the Eerie Stones are consumed, and there is also an extremely strong gravitational force coming from the Seabed."
Chen Fan wasn't too surprised by this answer. After all, some of the Strange Entities have the ability to fly. If flying could allow them to cross the Thunderstorm Sea, then the Thunderstorm Sea wouldn't be so terrifying.
At a glance.
The Thunderstorm Sea stretched as far as the eye could see.
Like a cage, it enveloped the Eternal Night Continent, yet like a protective umbrella, it shielded it from the invasion of Strange Entities. He looked towards the Island Eternal Night Continent him.
He could clearly see a Sky-Piercing Pillar, hundreds of meters high, standing steadily on the edge of the Island. It was built on the Island he had just passed by.
He's going to do an experiment today.
Try to conduct the electricity from the "Thunderstorm Sea" and direct it into that "Sky-Piercing Pillar".
First step.
First, test which materials can withstand the "lightning" in the Thunderstorm Sea.
The lightning here may look similar to the Peace Rainy Season, but it is clearly not the same thing. The lightning here is much more violent and extremely frequent.
And after the Sea Ship tentatively approached little by little.
He vaguely saw a bolt of lightning strike the Strange Entities directly on the head, but the Strange Entities only let out a painful roar and was not injured at all.
After getting close enough, and making sure you won't get caught in it.
Chen Fan took out a pile of materials from his pocket and handed them to the War Pavilion Members who had come with him, who was Martial King Cultivation.
First of all.
"The Eerie Stone".
The War Pavilion Members took out the Eerie Stone from his pocket and threw it straight into the Thunderstorm Sea with all his might. Just as it entered the Thunderstorm Sea and before it even landed, a bolt of lightning struck the Eerie Stone heavily, and the Eerie Stone immediately shattered into pieces.
"All right."
Chen Fan pursed his lips. He was still thinking that maybe the Eerie Stones would work, since the Eerie Stones inside so many Strange Entities' heads all looked intact. Copper Pipe.
The thrown Copper Pipe was once again shattered by a bolt of lightning.
Iron Pipes, Mortal Domain Tokens, Gondola —one by one, objects that could potentially conduct electricity were forcefully thrown into the Thunderstorm Sea by the War Pavilion Members with the Cultivation a Martial King. Without exception, they were all struck by lightning and shattered.
Moreover, there seems to be some kind of mechanism within this Thunderstorm Sea.
Once something new comes in.
It will attract lightning.
"Mazi."
Chen Fan tilted his head and looked at King Mazi with a strange expression: "How exactly did you cross the Thunderstorm Sea? Didn't the lightning strike you?" "No."
King Mazi shook his head, also somewhat puzzled, and hesitated, saying, "Perhaps it's because I've never made any vows in my life?"
"You made a lot of vows during your first Rainy Season."
"Um... so maybe it's because I've never broken my vow?"
"Never mind."
Chen Fan stood on the deck of the Sea Ship, his body swaying on the sea with the Sea Ship. After thinking for a while, he shook his head. It seemed that neither attracting the lightning to the Mortal Domain nor transporting the Sky-Piercing Pillar to the Thunderstorm Sea was realistic.
Putting everything else aside, he currently has no materials that can withstand the lightning storms in the Thunderstorm Sea.
Let's go to the New Continent first and see how the "Spark Starting a Prairie Fire" plan is going.
Just then
"Domain Lord."
The War Pavilion Members beside him pulled out a Great Knife from his robes and tentatively asked, "How about trying mine?"
"Oh?"
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, glancing at the Great Knife in the hand of the War Pavilion Members. It was entirely made of Earth Gold. Originally, only members of the Shadow Pavilion possessed Daggers made entirely of Earth Gold, but since they discovered a large area of Earth Gold in the New Continent, it had gradually become overused in the Mortal Domain. Not only were the 100,000 unofficial members of the Mortal Domain in the New Continent using hoes made of Earth Gold, but even War Pavilion Members had upgraded their weapons. "I forgot about this. Let's try it."
"Yes!"
The War Pavilion Members took a deep breath and threw the Great Knife made of Earth Gold heavily into the Thunderstorm Sea. The moment it entered the Thunderstorm Sea, a bolt of lightning shot out from the dark clouds and struck the Great Knife heavily.
But.
This time, something different happened.
After being struck by lightning, the Great Knife instantly emitted an extremely bright light, but it did not shatter. However, what happened next was truly astonishing.
The Thunderstorm Sea.
The lightning stopped only after the Great Knife fell from the sky into the sea.
Chen Fan looked at the scene before him, slightly taken aback. He seemed to have found a material that could withstand the lightning attacks in the Thunderstorm Sea: Earth Gold. Now it was just a matter of whether Earth Gold could transfer energy.
He took out Message Talisman from his pocket and murmured.
"Zhao Shengping, get up and get to work."
"Go find Wang Kui and get a batch of Earth Gold nuggets. Weave them into a rope about 7 kilometers long, the sooner the better, and transport it to the New Continent by High-Speed Rail."
Soon, the night passed.
When dawn broke the next day, Chen Fan received the 7-kilometer-long rope sent from the Mortal Domain. It was entirely woven from "Earth Gold," which is highly malleable.
Logically speaking
Earth Gold's defensive capabilities aren't very strong.
After all, Earth Gold isn't known for its defensive properties. He figured it might be because Earth Gold happens to be immune to... or rather, absorbs, the lightning in the Thunderstorm Sea?
Chen Fan once again led King Mazi and the others on Sea Ship to the Island where they had built a Sky-Piercing Pillar the day before.
This time, the focus was mainly on experiments.
Let's not consider how to arrange it for now.
He attached one end of the rope to the Sky-Piercing Pillar, and then pulled the other end of the rope as he approached the Thunderstorm Sea. As the Sea Ship sailed away, the rope, made of Earth Gold, slowly sank to the Seabed.
When approaching Thunderstorm Sea.
The War Pavilion Members responsible for the hard labor tied a stone to the end of the rope, took a deep breath, and threw it forcefully into the Thunderstorm Sea. The moment the other end of the rope entered the Thunderstorm Sea...
The lightning struck as expected.
That happened almost instantly.
Chen Fan and the others had already maneuvered the Sea Ship and quickly left the area of the "Earth Gold Cable." This rope, woven from Earth Gold, instantly emitted a dazzling light.
Meanwhile...
Chen Fan saw it.
Chen Fan saw that the top of the Sky-Piercing Pillar placed on the Island had also begun to emit White Light.
That is.
Signs that energy is being stored.
However, the lightning quickly dissipated, and once the section of the rope thrown into the Thunderstorm Sea fell into the water, the lightning stopped striking.
But
Chen Fan smiled.
He was laughing very happily.
He seemed to already see the scene of Mortal Domain Cruise Missiles flying haphazardly over the Eternal Night Continent.
The experiment is complete.
It can be charged.
Chen Fan returned to the Island, looked at the slightly increasing charging progress on the Sky-Piercing Pillar panel, and glanced at the War Pavilion Members who was busy pulling the "Earth Gold Cable" that had fallen into the sea back to the ground.
He took out Message Talisman from his pocket.
"Crippled Monkey, listen to my orders. Find Weiwei and tell him this is the first mission assigned to the Mortal Domain Beast Pavilion. The Mortal Domain needs a large amount of Earth Gold. Have him lead that group of monkeys to that Deep Pit as quickly as possible and begin large-scale mining of Earth Gold."
"All the Earth Gold brought in was sent to the Mortal Domain."
"Zhao Shengping, listen to my command. Take your group of Artifact Refiners and prepare to begin work. I need an extremely long Earth Gold Cable, thousands of kilometers long." "The New Continent will provide you with supply support."
After relaying the orders, Chen Fan collected the Message Talisman, looked at the dark, Thunderstorm Sea not far away, and smiled. Stealing a little electricity, you don't mind, do you?
Since you seem to have a lot of electricity, and you can't use it all, why not share some with him? He really needs it.
He wants to establish a Lifeline between the "Thunderstorm Sea" and the "Mortal Domain," a Lifeline that can transmit Rainy Season lightning, and a Lifeline that can rapidly store energy for the Sky-Piercing Pillar the Mortal Domain.
This Lifeline does not take the route through Undersea Tunnel.
Walking in the air.
He would create an extremely long "Phantom Copper Pipe" in the air, then build a Max-Level Gondola on the Copper Pipe to serve as the base, and finally place the rope woven from Earth Gold on the base.
The Lifeline can then be formed.
The ropes that fall from the sky into the Thunderstorm Sea will remain suspended in the air and will not fall into the sea.
The experiment is complete and execution will begin.
The Mortal Domain's execution capabilities have always been terrifying compared to other forces.
There are no Elders in the Mortal Domain.
Although there are Pavilion Masters, Pavilion Master generally do not interfere with core decisions. All decisions regarding the Mortal Domain are made by Chen Fan personally. Each time Chen Fan gives an order...
Mortal Domain would then begin working tirelessly on this plan, without needing to consult anyone's opinion or being interfered with by anyone. Once the orders were issued, the Mortal Domain would begin to operate.
Although Zhao Shengping didn't know what the Domain Lord wanted to do, that wasn't his concern. His task was to forge this incredibly long rope. Meanwhile...
Chen Fan has returned to the Mortal Domain and is flying in the air in Flying Boat, hundreds of meters above the ground, where he has begun laying "Phantom Copper Pipes ". The Gondola is the only structure that can interact with the Phantom Copper Pipes.
Besides that, even non -Phantom Copper Pipes are not acceptable.
Even if the Phantom Copper Pipe is connected to the Phantom Copper Pipe, it will still fall into the sea because it has no support.
So
The creation process takes a bit longer. He needs to first create the Copper Pipe, hold it in his hand, align it with the previously created Phantom Copper Pipe, and then make it illusory.
This would create a "Lifeline" entirely made of Phantom Copper Pipes in the air.
It would definitely be much slower than laying Copper Pipes in the Wasteland.
But it's still faster than digging Undersea Tunnel.
"One, two, three..."
Chen Fan felt no fatigue whatsoever; on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy himself immensely as he rode the Flying Boat, constructing one Phantom Copper Pipe after another in the air. These were the Lifelines of the Mortal Domain.
It remains an indestructible Lifeline.
Two months have passed just like that.
The time has come.
The Eternal Night Calendar, 381st year, March 7th.
In the past two months, all members and resources of the Mortal Domain have been doing three things.
Explore New Continents, ignite sparks that spread Spark Starting a Prairie Fire, and build Lifelines.
The three-pronged approach is underway.
Fortunately, the challenges that Mortal Domain has faced in recent years have been considerable, and they have accumulated a lot of experience in personnel management; otherwise, it would have taken a long time to integrate them.
And on this day...
The day has finally come when the "Lifeline" has been laid.
Chen Fan stood on the edge of the Flying Boat's deck, looking at the Thunderstorm Sea not far in front of him and the semi-transparent Phantom Copper Pipe floating in the air behind him with no end in sight.
A sense of pride welled up within me.
This is the result of his hard work over the past two months.
Just then
An extremely long High-Speed Rail sped from the end of the Phantom Copper Pipe, as if it were High-Speed Rail coming from the Nine Heavens, traveling hundreds of meters in the air above the sea.
The High-Speed Rail soon came to a stop at the end of the Phantom Copper Pipe.
At the very front of the High-Speed Rail was a coil of Earth Gold Cable entangled together. This High-Speed Rail was extremely long, covering the entire Phantom Copper Pipe, and had consumed a considerable amount of his Eerie Stones.
It serves as a cornerstone.
The War Pavilion Members beside him climbed from the Flying Boat onto the High-Speed Rail, picked up the roll of rope, and threw it forcefully from the air toward the "Thunderstorm Sea."
The rope entered the Thunderstorm Sea and completely submerged into the Seabed.
At the same time, the War Pavilion Members jumped onto the Flying Boat.
They've tested it these days.
Earth Gold's conductivity is indeed excellent, but once it's in a conductive state, the rope woven from Earth Gold cannot be touched by hand; it will kill you. Chen Fan took out Message Talisman from his pocket, looked at the section of Earth Gold Cable that had completely sunk into the sea, and contacted the Mortal Domain: "It's too long, pull it back a little." Not long after he finished speaking...
The ropes laid on the foundation stone began to slowly move backward.
"Pull some more."
"Pull, pull, keep going!"
"Okay, stop!"
Everything is perfect.
Chen Fan stood on the deck of the Flying Boat, looking at the section of the Earth Gold Cable was constantly being bombarded by lightning in mid-air in the Thunderstorm Sea, and then at the Earth Gold Cable on the Phantom Copper Pipe that was thousands of kilometers long, which was now emitting a dazzling White Light.
He murmured in a daze.
He was thinking about something.
He didn't know how long the Thunderstorm Sea had existed, but he was curious to know if he was the first person to steal electricity from the Thunderstorm Sea.
"Return!"
Chen Fan laughed, Flying Boat quickly turned around and flew towards the Eternal Night Continent.
The Eternal Night Continent.
The temperature hadn't risen yet, and it had even snowed. The entire Jiangbei was covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, making it seem as if you were in a snow-white world.
Chen Fan has returned to the Eternal Night Continent.
Although I haven't had a proper rest for two months.
But at this moment, he had absolutely no desire to rest.
Instead, it quickly landed at the Harbor.
After landing in the Harbor, one can clearly see a "Earth Gold Cable" that shines with a dazzling White Light falling from the sky to the ground, like the Milky Way falling from the Nine Heavens.
The Earth Gold Cable fell from the sky to the ground, which was a "Phantom Copper Pipe track", was not drifting with the wind. Chen Fan specially made a vertical Phantom Copper Pipe track to fix the rope.
The rope extends all the way to the ground.
On the ground, hundreds of Earth Gold Cable scattered in all directions, leading to the Sky-Piercing Pillars.
At this time
The hundreds of Earth Gold Cable laid on the ground were all dim, and Wang Kui, Zhao Shengping, and others had been surrounding the area with their men. The circuit had not yet been officially connected.
The hundreds of "Earth Gold Cable" connected to the Sky-Piercing Pillar eventually converge on a High-Speed Rail carriage, and the Earth Gold Cable brought from the Thunderstorm Sea also end on a High-Speed Rail carriage on the ground.
Chen Fan had a thought.
Two High-Speed Rail carriages, not far apart, were instantly brought together.
The next moment!
The hundreds of Earth Gold Cable were simultaneously lit up, shedding their original dimness, and a large amount of lightning energy surged along the Earth Gold Cable towards the Sky-Piercing Pillars reaching the sky. In the absence of Thunderstorm Weather, the hundreds of Sky-Piercing Pillar flashed White Light and began to charge.
Looking at the scene before him, Chen Fan smiled happily.
Wang Kui, Zhao Shengping, and other Mortal Domain Member around them also shouted excitedly. If they didn't know what the Domain Lord was going to do at first, they gradually guessed the Domain Lord's plan after doing half of it.
The fact that those hundreds of "Sky-Piercing Pillar" are now charging means that the Domain Lord's plan has succeeded!
The foundation of the Mortal Domain has been strengthened once again!
It was nearly Dusk, and amidst the excited shouts of the Mortal Domain Members, Chen Fan smiled happily, looking at the two carriages docked together beside him.
This is a switch he made.
When the two carriages are disconnected, the hundreds of Earth Gold Cable at the end will lose their conductivity, making it easier to connect more Earth Gold Cable. In the end, he still did not transport the Sky-Piercing Pillar to the Thunderstorm Sea.
But he transported the Thunderstorm Sea to the Mortal Domain.
He walked towards the Sky-Piercing Pillars and began to examine the panel. He studied it for a full half hour before coming to a conclusion: the lightning in the Thunderstorm Sea was indeed extraordinary.
The charging speed is much faster than before.
The Max-Level Sky-Piercing Pillar, which originally required three years of continuous exposure to lightning, can now be fully charged in just one year, and he has a feeling that its power might be even greater.
After all, the lightning in the Thunderstorm Sea was clearly much more powerful than ordinary lightning.
The Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar originally required ninety days to charge.
Now it only takes Thirty Days.
In Thirty Days, a Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar will be completed.
A strategic weapon, supplied by this "Lifeline," is almost becoming an everyday weapon, and he can finally see the power of the Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar.
"Pity."
Chen Fan felt a little regretful. The "Spark Starting a Prairie Fire" project on the New Continent had consumed a large amount of the Eerie-Stone Reserves in the Mortal Domain, which was temporarily insufficient to build more Sky-Piercing Pillars for energy storage.
We need to wait until the Spark Ignites the Prairie Plan is completed first.
But
It won't be long.
It is expected that the Spark Ignites the Prairie Plan in the New Continent will be fully implemented before the Rainy Season this year. He inspected the New Continent and the progress was very good, especially for the Crippled Monkey.
The progress was so rapid that it surprised him; he had already improved to the point where he could start to handle things independently.
Tonight.
The Mortal Domain held Victory Banquet.
But Chen Fan, the star of the Victory Banquet, was absent. After two months of continuous hard work, he was lying on his bed, sprawled out, fast asleep, with a faint smile on his lips.
He had another dream tonight.
He dreamt that the Mortal Domain led the Eternal Night Continent in a counterattack, with thousands of Sky-Piercing Pillars rising from the Mortal Domain and shooting toward the Eternal Night Front amidst a roar. Each Sky-Piercing Pillar that exploded instantly cleared away a large area of Strange Tide.
I slept really well that night.
After waking up, Chen Fan quickly washed up and rushed to the Harbor. Looking at the more than two hundred "Sky-Piercing Pillar" emitting white light, his eyes were full of smiles.
I've been exhausted for months.
He should have a proper tour.
Perhaps it was his own quirk, but he particularly liked to do nothing for the next few days after completing a major project, simply touring the site.
Just like the Northbank Defense Line.
After completing this, he wandered around the Northbank Defense Line for several days.
The hundreds of Earth Gold Cable extending to the "Sky-Piercing Pillar" were buried underground, otherwise it would have been too dangerous. He checked each of the first batch of Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar that had been set up.
These Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillars already contained more than half of their energy.
It will take approximately nine more days for the energy storage to be completed.
He's already started the countdown.
Nine Heavens later.
This will be the first test explosion of Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar in the Mortal Domain.
Time flies.
Nine Heavens have passed.
The Eternal Night Calendar, March 17th, 381st year.
This day.
The Defense Line Seven welcomed its guests.
Chen Fan, along with Wang Kui, Zhao Shengping, Crippled Monkey, King Mazi, and other Mortal Domain Core, temporarily put aside all their work and arrived at the Defense Line Seven.
The Elder Seven, who had already received the news, were already waiting on the platform.
But after seeing this scene...
I'm still a bit lost.
"Domain Lord Chen."
The Elder Seven walked up to Chen Fan, looked at the group of Mortal Domain Core with some hesitation, and tentatively asked, "This is..."
This is an all-out effort!
"It's nothing."
Chen Fan Fanle chuckled and looked at the Elder Seven: "Come and reinforce the Defense Line Seven."
"Support?"
The Elder Seven were momentarily baffled. It wasn't the Rainy Season; given the daily Strange Tides, how could the Defense Line Seven possibly have fallen? "Hmm..."
Chen Fan sighed somewhat helplessly, "Mortal Domain has just launched something new, I've named it the 'Mortal Domain Cruise Missile,' let's find a place to test its power."
"There are too few Strange Entities in the Mortal Domain."
"Come and try your Defense Line Seven."
"Understood!"
This time, the Elder Seven understood.
On the City Wall of the Defense Line Seven.
Eternal Nightfall.
Instant darkness enveloped the entire Guandong Plains, and at the same time, endless howls of Strange Entities rang out amidst the cacophony of artillery fire. The Strange Tide launched its daily attack on the Defense Line Seven.
The Defense Line Seven was already used to this.
Chen Fan led Wang Kui and the others to the City Wall the Defense Line Seven. They peered out at the overwhelming Strange Tide beyond the defense line. After a moment's thought, they created a Level-Ten Strange Fire on the City Wall, instantly expanding their field of vision.
The visible area expanded considerably in an instant.
The range of a Level-Ten Strange Fire is quite large.
"Good."
Chen Fan nodded in satisfaction. This time he could see it much more clearly. Then he looked at the "Missile Launch" panel in front of him, which was a top-down Map.
The two fingers kept spreading open.
After zooming in on the Map, he saw Defense Line Seven and the Green Mark representing himself.
Now.
Wherever he points his finger, that's where the bomb can be fired.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a strong urge to click on that Green Mark, unsure of what would happen, but he quickly dismissed this somewhat absurd idea.
Point your finger to a spot not far in front of the Green Mark.
Immediately afterwards.
Far away at the Harbor in the Mortal Domain, a "Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar" that had been fully charged and stood on the ground rose slowly into the air amidst a tremendous rumble.
And it keeps breaking apart.
The outer shell detached quickly.
When it ascended to a high altitude, the original thick outer shell, hundreds of meters high, was gone, leaving only a relatively slender Sky-Piercing Pillar, a dozen meters high, with pale lightning still spewing from its tail.
After rising to a certain height.
Change direction.
It shot towards the Guandong Plains at an extremely high speed above the clouds!
"One breath, two breaths, three breaths"
The moment he tapped it, Chen Fan began to silently count in his mind, needing to assess the exact speed of this Sky-Piercing Pillar.
"Eleven breaths, twelve breaths"
"Twenty-one breaths"
After he silently counted to twenty-one, he heard it. He heard a piercing sonic boom suddenly coming from behind him, and the sound was rapidly approaching.
Immediately afterwards, a Sky-Piercing Pillar, almost entirely enveloped in pale white lightning, descended from the sky.
Piercing through the darkness, it crashed heavily into the endless, Strange Tide below.
The next moment
Daylight broke.
In front of the Defense Line Seven, a blue-white sun with a diameter of nearly Thousand Meters suddenly burst forth on the sea, its blinding light illuminating the area within the Eerie Fire zone as if Broad Daylight almost instantly.
No, it's brighter than Broad Daylight.
Against the backdrop of a blazing white color scheme, countless scarlet lightning bolts exploded.
Immediately following that, a deafening roar reached my ears.
The most unlucky one, the Greater Wraith, was almost instantly swallowed up, while the surrounding Strange Tides were rapidly swept away by the scarlet electric python. Almost at the same moment, countless Strange Entities that had charged towards the Defense Line Seven suddenly exploded, turning into clusters of eerie green sparks. The sight was extremely spectacular.
As the explosions gradually subsided.
A layer of charred and thick, Strange Entities floated on the sea surface, and a faint mist rose from it. A pungent odor composed of various smells wafted toward Chen Fan and the others.
Explosion range
It's over ten thousand meters long.
No one knows exactly how many Strange Entities died in this attack, but it was clearly visible to the naked eye that the Strange Tide, which had been like locusts, was suddenly... emptied out.
Extremely conspicuous.
It's like the top of a programmer's head.
A strikingly conspicuous Mediterranean Sea.
The Elder Seven accompanying him stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the unfilled area outside the Defense Line Seven, their eyes glazed over. After a long while, they murmured in a daze.
"Domain Lord Chen, this is...?"
Chen Fan laughed, also looking at the area that had been instantly cleared, and said softly with a smile, "The Mortal Domain Patrol Missile, but I gave it a better name, 'Heavenly Punishment'."
"Only a certain amount of Eerie Stones are required."
"Then you can request Heavenly Punishment assistance from the Mortal Domain."
This was the first test explosion of Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar.
He was very satisfied with the power.
It is many times more powerful than Level-1 Sky-Piercing Pillar, and this is only Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar. What if it were Level-10 Sky-Piercing Pillar? What if... it were Level-10 Sky-Piercing Pillar with the effect of Heavenly Dao Bestowed Formula?
Level-10 Sky-Piercing Pillar will have a Max-Level Effect, greatly increasing its power.
Therefore, Level-10 Sky-Piercing Pillar is not only one level more powerful than a level 9 Sky-Piercing Pillar, but it also has a Max-Level Effect.
The Level-6 Sky-Piercing Pillar is more powerful than the Godslayer Cannon.
Most importantly.
It can provide long-range support.
It can also clear an area instantly. When a section of the defense line is about to fall, a single "Sky-Piercing Pillar" can buy enough time to repair the line. Zhou Mo and the others who came with Chen Fan exchanged glances, all seeing the excitement and pride in each other's eyes.
This was the first proper test detonation of the Mortal Domain cruise missile.
A perfect ending.
Most importantly...
The Mortal Domain doesn't just have this one Sky-Piercing Pillar; there are many more, and even higher-level Sky-Piercing Pillars haven't fully charged yet. "Let's go."
Chen Fan smiled at the Elder Seven: "I have other matters to attend to back home, so I won't stay any longer. The transmission range of the Mortal Domain covers the Four Regions of Jiangbei and the two regions of Kansai. If you need support, you can contact me directly through the Message Talisman."
"This level of Heavenly Punishment is called Level-Six Heavenly Punishment within our Mortal Domain."
"Given our relationship, I'll treat you to the first three Level Level-Six Heavenly Punishments for free."
"After three shots, you need to give me some Eerie Stones. After all, these things aren't cheap to craft, and they're quite troublesome."
He sighed with some emotion.
It took him two whole months to set up the Lifeline. Before that, he didn't even have enough for himself, let alone to support others. Only after Xi had the Lifeline did production capacity increase significantly.
Once the "Spark Spreads Like Spark Starting a Prairie Fire" operation ends, we can stockpile more Sky-Piercing Pillars.
"Chen. Domain Lord Chen."
