At the end of heaven and earth, the rigid spatial structure composed of all things is like a steel mesh in a building, supporting a piece of heaven and earth in the void; Flexible rules flow through the gaps of the frame like pure mineral water. The combination of rigidity and softness is like reinforced concrete, which together forms a solid "upper boundary of space".

According to the distance standard on land, the thickness of the upper limit of space must be hundreds of thousands of miles.

But if you measure the projection of the upper boundary of space in the void, it is only a few hundred meters.

That's the wonderful nature of space.

The upper realm of space is like a huge, deep eggshell enveloping the land of Shenzhou and the boundless ocean.

The space where creatures can live inside has a special name in the circle of top martial artists: mortal realm.

In the upper realm of space hundreds of thousands of miles thick, in addition to the pure and transparent rigid and flexible rules, there are also countless large and small free spaces.

They float in the fluidic layer like bubbles, and some of them "stick" to the mortal space for a variety of reasons.

The secret realm of the Broken Cauldron belongs to one of the latter, and it is a very freakish small space.

Judging from the viscous area of this secret realm and the mortal realm, the spatial overlap is only an area the size of a few zhang square circles.

Whether it is in terms of the overlapping area of space, or the proportion of this area to the projection area of the largest surface of space, the viscosity between this secret realm and the mortal realm is not very large, and theoretically it will be separated in a few years at most.

But in fact, this secret realm has been sticking to the mortal realm for decades!

Perhaps there are some factors that are difficult to understand, resulting in a relatively large "stickiness" in fact.

In this way, it shouldn't be so abruptly detached, at least the Void Teleportation Formation arranged in the cauldron stream can clearly feel the gradual loosening of the sticky place.

Therefore, the sudden detachment of the secret realm is caused by external forces.

There are many possibilities for this external force: the rigid and regular spatial structure breaks and collapses, and the celestial outflow breaks through the upper boundary of space and crashes away......

What exactly is the reason, let's look at it again from a different perspective:

Two days ago, the upper bound of space.

A black figure streaked through the void, piercing into the fluidic layer of space like a stone entering water, and wisps of light rippled on the projection map of the stars at the very edge of the upper realm of space.

This is a big living person!

After entering the fluidic layer, he took off his black coat and changed into a special yellowish robe, which blended in with the background color of the fluidic layer.

The background color of the void is pitch black, and although the spatial power in the fluidic layer is transparent and undetectable, due to the illumination of the starlight, the spatial power in the fluidic layer will show a crystal light blue brilliance.

Walking in the fluid space and wearing certain clothing is the consensus of those people, and there are also clear rules.

After changing his clothes, he hurried away immediately, and the speed was extremely fast!

It didn't take long for him to stop abruptly, closing his eyes as if sensing something.

After two breaths, he raised his eyebrows, as if he sensed something interesting, and after thinking for a while, he turned over his hand and took out a stray fall ten times larger than his own body size, and the dark and mysterious power emerged from his body, gushing out of the slumber.

"Hehe, I really envy you for being so lucky!"

The man chuckled and muttered to himself.

Syllable!

With a flick of his backhand, he pushed Driftfall to the side and back, then ignored it and turned to continue on his way.

And after the meteor left the man, its speed soared evenly! In a few moments, it was a matter of miles!

"Huh? Look there, there's a fall! ”

"It's strange that it's just a lone one!"

Elsewhere in the fluidic layer, two large living people in light blue robes accidentally spotted the galloping Drift while flying, and talked with a little surprise.

"Who knows, this place is full of strange things, so you can't use common sense to know it."

"That's just as well. But it's a pity that this stray fell was wasted, let's go over and pick him up and plug the gap. ”

"Well, it's so hard to find a leak in this damn place......"

The two of them reversed course and chased towards the Driftfall at great speed.

As the flight distance of the Driftfall increased, its power gradually depleted, and its speed gradually slowed down, and the two people who were chasing closely slowly closed the distance.

The force of space has the characteristics of fluidity, and there is a special resistance in the fluid space. For human beings, this resistance stems from the waves of flexible rules, and the fluctuations of the power of space are only the external force manifestations of the action of rules.

Some of the most powerful humans are able to comprehend the rules of all things, and can use them to a certain extent. This resistance is negligible for them.

But a dead thing like a drift meteor flies entirely by inertia. They don't know how to use rules, or more precisely, they don't feel them at all, so this special resistance is a strong obstacle to their progress.

"I'll go! How did this meteorite run so fast! We both almost lost it at full speed. ”

When he was only five miles away, one of them grumbled.

"Not good!"

No sooner had he finished complaining than an accident happened.

A monstrous wave of "spatial turbulence" swept from the side, invisible to the naked eye, but very clear in their powerful senses.

Fortunately, this spatial turbulence was only rampant from a place dozens of miles in front of them, and they were still twenty or thirty miles away from the edge of the turbulence, so they did not worry about their own safety.

And the meteorite that they had been chasing for more than 5,000 miles was approaching the spatial turbulence step by step.

Woo~

The center of the turbulence is dangerous, but the edges are relatively safe, and there are often some turbulent whirlpools at the edges.

Coincidentally, Driftfall burrowed into such a gentle turbulent whirlpool, not only was it not crushed by the power of space, but it also instantly accelerated and teleported to an unknown distance.

"Special! Poison it! Is that okay too? ”

"I've been chasing it for so long, I can't let it run! Pursue! ”

For the rare "plugging stone", the two decisively rushed into the huge turbulent whirlpool, withstood the pressure of space, and came to the extreme distance.

"Drifting? Where did it go? ”

After their bodies stabilized, they hurriedly looked around, looking for Driftfall. Spatial teleportation is a matter of a thousand miles.

"There...... Alas? How did it disappear......"

"Oh my God! It's a free space! ”

"Like...... Yes! ”

"Hurry, hurry! Check it out! ”

The two of them suddenly became agitated and flew in the direction where the drift had disappeared.

A distance of 400 miles is only half a cup of tea for them.

Soon, they saw the white boundary membrane of this independent space.

From the outside, this space looks like it is only a dozen miles in diameter, but it is a very large body compared to the size of a person.

The two people who pursued the Drift looked up at the huge "sphere" like ants standing under a towering tree. Due to the close proximity, their field of vision is occupied by the spatial "sphere", which is very visually oppressive.

"Not bad! Not bad! It's been a long time since I've come across such a large free space! ”

"This should be able to fill the hole in the 'Taiwei Left Wall Heavenly Zone'!"

"All right!"

"Then don't bother, I'll cut it open, and then quickly push it back!"

After saying that, the man flew to the junction of the "big ball" and the mortal space, and with a wave of his hand, a golden light blade was a thousand zhang long!

Squeak squeak!

The tooth-souring cutting sound spread through the power of space, and the "stickiness" between the free space and the mortal realm was violently cut off, and there was a little area that was cut off.

"Hey! Come and help! ”

After a single cut, he shouted at the other brother.

The two of them flew to the "sticky" place, and their hands slowly attached to the boundary membrane of the free space, and a faint spiritual light spread out from their hands, and the golden and red ripples rippled on the boundary membrane, exuding a sacred aura.

"One, two, three!"

With three simultaneous sounds, the two of them exerted force at the same time, and the boundary membrane of the secret realm was gradually compressed and sunken, faintly detached.

Boom!

When the strength accumulates to a limit, the "sticky" part of the broken thread cannot be loaded, and it collapses directly, and the secret realm is easily pushed into the distance like a rootless pinch.

Come fast, but go not fast.

They chased the Meteorite from the upper edge of the Upper Spatial Realm, and later encountered the spatial turbulence and teleported to the lower edge of the Upper Spatial Realm through the turbulent vortex.

There is a difference of seven or eight hundred thousand miles!

In addition, it is now necessary to push such a free space, and the speed is much, much slower, at least close to four days.

Counting the time required to transport to the designated heavenly area, it must be a full four days.

……

Inside the Secret Realm.

The Central Plains team led by Dongfang Ziyang met the Dongyi team led by Xu Cheng and Xu Bozhou, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"Xu Yuan? I didn't expect you to recover so quickly, congratulations! ”

Dongfang Ziyang maintained the last trace of harmony on the surface.

There were only two days left in the original plan to explore the secret realm, and as early as the initial Gongsun Yueyi was forbidden to enter the secret realm, and the teasing expressions of Xu Yuan, Xu Bozhou and others, they knew that there would definitely be trouble in this exploration.

There were also conflicts and frictions in the early exploration activities, but they were not large, and the two sides tried to restrain themselves as much as possible.

But the more time passed, the more restless the Dongyi people became, brewing to make big things.

The current encounter is self-evident, it must be a rip-off, and even forcible seizure is very likely.

However, the Chinese atomic brother is deeply influenced by ancient rites, and is more reserved and reserved, and this kind of thing has to be done by the barbaric and rude Dongyi people first.

"Hehe, it's a fluke......"

Facing Dongfang Ziyang's relatively gentle and friendly greetings, a rough man like Xu Cheng replied bluntly.

"Spicy next door! Hand over all your gains to Lao Tzu! Otherwise, you won't be able to take care of yourself! ”

Zhao Zhuqian was even rougher, he didn't come at all to be tactful, he scolded when he opened his mouth, and threatened viciously!

Xu Yuan, Xu Bozhou and others stood aside with disgusted expressions, with an expression that I didn't recognize these two goods, but they did not deny the core meaning expressed by Zhao Zhucheng.

The situation was on the verge of getting out of control, Dongfang Ziyang simply stopped being verbose and shouted:

"Central Plains belongs! Fuck it! ”

At this time, it is impossible to spread out, the overall strength of the Dongyi people is more than one level higher than them, and escaping will only be broken one by one.

Anyway, they don't dare to kill people, at most they will suffer a little flesh and skin.

Instead of running around in embarrassment, it's better to fight in a dignified manner!

Wait a minute!

Why be upright?

The young people of the Central Plains rushed over with great momentum, and of course the Dongyi people were not to be outdone, and they ran over with a scream.

The distance between the two sides is only more than 50 zhang, and it takes less than three breaths to meet each other.

But just when the distance between the two sides was shortened to ten zhang, the young people of the Central Plains, who were still angry and shouting to kill just now, instantly fell down on the spot, and their movements were uniform.

Woohoo blah blah!

Hundreds of sharp arrows shot out from behind them, pointing directly at the dozen or so Dongyi youths at the front.

This is the treasure that Jiang Xun and others discovered in their previous exploration-the interlocking sixteen-way rapid-fire crossbow machine.

There are three in total, half a man high, four feet wide, each crossbow is arranged in a four-by-four arrangement of sixteen tubes, and there are four firing lanes on the left and right sides of the tube, which can fire four sharp arrows at the same time.

This miraculous ancient crossbow machine uses a complex mechanical lock structure to replace the crossbow string, and the firing structure is activated by the power of true qi, and after the relevant gears rotate at high speed to reach a certain critical value, the buckle crossbow arrow is controlled by the trigger to make it fire.

In one operation, six groups of crossbow arrows were fired in succession, each group of sixteen tubes and sixty-four crossbow arrows.

I don't know how long ago this thing was made, and it's still intact and still performing well.

When the people in the Central Plains found out that the Dongyi team was coming, they immediately discussed countermeasures.

In the case of a huge difference in strength, it is very irrational to fight head-on. It looks like a backbone, but it always feels like a fool.

The Central Plains people have blood in their bones, and they may use their brains to solve problems, but they don't like to solve them with their fists, especially when their fists are not as big as others.

After revealing some hole cards to each other, the three crossbows of the three Jiang Xun brothers were selected as the first divine weapons, and the other young talents of the Central Plains took out all the crossbow arrows they held, and made up five hundred arrows, which was enough for two and a half sets of crossbow machines.

This sudden rain of arrows disrupted the Dongyi people's position. Since it was a direct shot, all the 500 crossbow arrows needed to be carried by a dozen people at the front and the strongest.

Xu Cheng, who broke and stood up, reacted the fastest, did not panic in the face of the rain of arrows, his eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "Bah!" Then the True Qi came out of the body and pressed forward.

Bang Bang Bang!

Dozens of sharp arrows slammed into the "wall" of true qi and snapped.

Others followed Xu Cheng's example, but due to different strengths and reactions, five or six people were still shot by sharp arrows and were slightly injured.

The people in the front were busy resisting the rain of arrows and were sluggish, while the people in the back were not in a hurry to "brake", and they collided and stepped on without paying attention, and seven or eight people were injured immediately.

The young people of the Central Plains cooperated tacitly, and they jumped up immediately after the rain of arrows, shouting "Wow, yes, yes" in a neat and orderly manner......
