Sky-cracking Rider

One of the main alchemical materials of the "Boundary Pearl" comes from the Dreamworld Stone that Chen Fei had long left unused.

This extremely rare alchemical material inherently comes with four-dimensional rules, perfectly unifying time and space, making it very suitable for refining a Life Space that can accommodate living beings.

The precious alchemical artifact "Secluded Space Tower," exchanged from the Blue Star Sovereignty for his family, specifically for emergencies, only used a sesame seed-sized Dreamworld Stone. Although the Life Space refined was not particularly large, it was already a top-spec Refuge.

Such Refuge-type alchemical artifacts, regardless of size, are not something ordinary people can touch, let alone have the opportunity to know about.

If the well-informed Miyoshi Monk hadn't seized the opportunity, Chen Fei would never have obtained such a treasure that only top society figures can acquire. Even those elites and dignitaries can often only secretly hold one piece, with few chances to obtain a second Refuge-type alchemical artifact.

The primary difficulty in creating a Life Space alchemical artifact is not just the scarcity and difficulty in acquiring the materials but also the precise control during refinement and the large investment of spiritual power.

The final size of the Life Space is not only related to the amount of Dreamworld Stone used but also directly proportional to the amount of spiritual power invested. The overall difficulty far exceeds Storage Magic Artifacts that only involve three-dimensional rules, posing a challenge even for top-rank alchemists, such as Heavenly Rank Refining Venerables.

The conventional application of the Dreamworld Stone is to cut it into tiny sesame-like pieces, just within the extreme limits of human alchemists, avoiding excessive waste of this rare alchemical material. The Life Space capacity of the "Secluded Space Tower" is a standard size, with larger ones only being two or three times larger at most. The historical maximum is ten times, beyond human capability.

The Dreamworld Stone in Chen Fei's possession is as large as a fist, with a quality even higher than the one used for the "Secluded Space Tower." Without any division, all of it was used in the alchemical making of the "Boundary Pearl."

On the surface, the diameter of the "Boundary Pearl" is even smaller than the Dreamworld Stone itself, not accounting for other alchemical materials invested. However, the theory of mustard seed space holds no meaning under four-dimensional rules; it can be large or small.

The "Seed Nest" McKenny has survived at least a hundred thousand years. The accumulated ages weren't in vain, and "Sagali" originally had extraordinary talent in spiritual power, with almost unparalleled mastery over it. Even the top alchemists of the Cangqiong Star Civilization can't compare to His skills. His spiritual power intensity far exceeds any intelligent species of Cangqiong, enough to fully refine the Dreamworld Stone Chen Fei entrusted to Him.

After more than a month of meticulous alchemical operation, McKenny finally succeeded in refining the "Boundary Pearl" in Chen Fei's possession.

Originally, humanity's plan in "Atlantis" to intercept the "Sagali" Civilization's Space Fleet failed, leaving at least a hiding place. Yet plans couldn't keep up with changes. Unexpectedly, Chen Fei found another way to break through McKenny's space blockade over the entire Star System, not only escaping Antalu Planet but also returning to Blue Star smoothly.

Although the "Boundary Pearl" lost its anticipated usefulness, it doesn't mean it won't be needed in the future. Ideally, it should not be used.

"This should be able to take you away, right?"

Chen Fei tossed up the "Boundary Pearl" and caught it accurately once again.

An alchemical artifact involving four-dimensional rules isn't that fragile. With so many rare alchemical materials used, even a Grand Forbidden Curse would find it difficult to destroy this "Boundary Pearl."

The size of McKenny's "Seed Nest" body is negligible compared to the "Boundary Pearl"'s capacity. With enough spiritual power, it can be completely packed and taken away in one go.

"I have other ideas, to be precise, I originally had some ideas. What you've brought back gave me more ideas."

The air became hot and humid, as the flesh of the Little Shan was completely digested and absorbed.

After all, McKenny's "Seed Nest" body exceeds three hundred kilometers in diameter. This bit of flesh from the Biological Space Mother Ship is insignificant to Him, not even enough to fill the gaps in His teeth.

"Can you reveal some of your ideas to me?"

Chen Fei didn't quite understand what changes were in McKenny's thoughts.

According to Him, the "Seed Nest" is the "Seed Nest," and "Sagali" is "Sagali." The Biological Space Mothership approaching Antalu Planet will not mercifully spare McKenny. That superstructure will mercilessly destroy everything.

"Wait a moment..."

McKenny seemed distracted, his attention not on Chen Fei.

This was a rare occurrence. His multitasking capability is as good as Artificial Intelligence AI, not likely to lose focus just after speaking a few words.

The ground nearby rose rapidly, with liquid from ubiquitous pools gurgling and bubbling.

After half an hour, the rising hill suddenly cracked open, revealing a bright white egg-like object that rolled all the way down the slope to Chen Fei's feet.

An egg?

Chen Fei took out some water and rinsed the transparent mucus off the eggshell surface, then held it up.

"What is this thing?"

After waiting half an hour, all he got was a large egg resembling an ostrich egg. It was not only heavy in hand but also scorching, with surface temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius.

He tapped the eggshell with his knuckles, creating a clanging sound. The hardness was no less than that of an ostrich egg. Dropping it freely from the current holding height onto a concrete surface wouldn't even crack the eggshell, let alone break it.

Products of the "Seed Nest," especially from a primordial Seed Nest like McKenny's, are not simple.

"A seed of hope, possibly of some use to the 'Boundary Pearl.'

McKenny's voice had barely fallen before the wind carrying his voice died down inexplicably, and there was a faint anomaly in the air, yet it was impossible to pinpoint what was wrong.

Suddenly, it felt like an earthquake had struck, and the entire underground little world shook violently. The ground beneath Chen Fei and Heseman Brown, the S-Class Space Ability User, surged like waves, constantly undulating.

Lin Zixian, whom both parties treated as a tool, immediately fell to the ground, hugging his head with both hands, and screamed in terror as the ground bucked beneath him.

A thin film floated on the surface of the widespread pools, and the liquid inside rapidly dried up, leaving behind large pits everywhere.

"What happened?"

Chen Fei still stood firmly, with the single soldier tactical armor's self-stabilizing design, the center of gravity could be adjusted to oppose the ground's shaking.

"It feels ominous, let's go back!"

Heseman Brown also grew nervous, ready to drag Chen Fei away at any moment.

The mutation of the underground little world was increasingly beyond their understanding.

"You must leave now!"

McKenny's response finally came, not through airflow, but as information directly carried by spiritual power.

The ground under Chen Fei, Heseman Brown, and Lin Zixian suddenly elevated, like an elevator, sending the three towards the entrance at the dome, where the underground little world vertically connected to the surface.

Chen Fei shouted loudly again, "Can you tell me what's going on?"

The other party had its own plans, but at least providing some explanation was necessary. Not knowing what was happening made others very troubled.

"This is my battle!"

McKenny's spiritual power waves came once more.

???

Chen Fei and Heseman Brown exchanged bewildered looks.

From the other party's tone, it seemed they intended to fight fiercely with the supermassive biological space mothership approaching Antalu Planet, but...

As a "seed nest," McKenny couldn't move at all, so how could it fight? Was it meant to take a beating?

Let alone the biological space mothership; if Chen Fei were to drop a "Tsar Plus" here, McKenny would likely be reduced to ashes.

The underground little world had a diameter of 300 kilometers, making it vast, yet the devastation from a nuclear explosion would be inescapable, with destruction far exceeding that on the surface.

Having destroyed countless "seed nests," Chen Fei certainly knew how fragile the "seed nest" body was.

The ground beneath the three continued to rise steadily, traversing a long passage and finally emerging through the "skylight" passage filled with various insects, reaching the surface.

The movement underground was transmitted to the surface, making the vibrations beneath their feet quite evident, suggesting the upheaval below was almost turning the world upside down.

"Let's head back to the 'Atlantis' first!"

Chen Fei lifted the lethargic Lin Zixian with one hand, nodding to the bewildered S-Class Superpower User beside him.

Because he lacked the protection of single soldier tactical armor and did not wear a specialized breathing apparatus, the oxygen-deficient environment on the surface made the Lin Family's offspring gasp like a fish out of water, opening his mouth wide for breaths that failed to meet his oxygen needs.

If he didn't return to a cabin with a constant Blue Star atmospheric composition soon, Lin Zixian would risk suffocating.

-

The 100-kilometer distance was neither far nor near, taking an airship over a kilometer in length a maximum of fifteen minutes, most of which was spent on the takeoff and landing process.

After the airship landed outside the "skylight" of the "Atlantis," Chen Fei immediately stored it in the "spatial branding," bringing Heseman Brown and Lin Zixian into the "skylight."

The "Wall of Sighs" action team was fully assembled, with everyone boarding their respective airships, except for the combat units and personnel initially aboard the cooperative ship, who remained on the ground in neat formations, all eager to return home.

Losing to the Sagali Civilization's space fleet in the star system defense battle was acceptable since it wasn't on home solar system territory. As long as there was a return to Blue Star, nobody cared about winning or losing; it was merely a war game with over 400 biological space motherships, and Blue Star Civilization's contender was just one person, not truly representative of Blue Star's war strength.

"Huh? Lin Zixian is with you? We thought he took the opportunity to escape!"

Huang Xiulun, welcoming Chen Fei and his group back to the "Atlantis," was about to exchange pleasantries but glanced past Chen Fei, focusing on the figure behind him.

"What? Escape? Where could I even run to!"

The comment infuriated Lin Zixian to the extent of feeling smoke pour from his seven orifices.
