Void Realm, Time Continent.
In the Time Continent, there is a universally known mysterious area—the Inner Ring of the Continent!
Any mage who knows about the White Bull walking in circles around the continent's edge, if they draw a simple diagram, will immediately realize one thing: if they can stick to the inner ring of the White Bull's trajectory, they could follow its pace with minimal effort!
There might even be a center point, an "Eternal Region" where the White Bull, no matter where it goes, is always affected by the Flowing Gold River!
However, no mage has ever reached this area, because the closer they get to the inner ring of the continent, the more likely they are to encounter the Heroic Soul Army.
The Heroic Soul Army also knows that the shortest route is along the inner ring. How could they possibly not heavily guard the inner ring? Besides, even if a mage is lucky enough to pass through the patrol routes of the Heroic Soul Army, they still can't reach the core area—because the core area is surrounded by six stronghold fortresses.
That's right, each faction guards one stronghold, even if they are fighting one another to the death, these six touching fortresses can coexist in peace, jointly protecting the secrets within.
And today, with the buzzing roar of an engine, a racing car arrived in front of a fortress.
Compared to the fortress, which towers a hundred meters high, the racing car seemed as small as an ant.
Behind the racing car is the Heroic Soul Army numbering in the tens of thousands, humanoid troops stampeding the earth, beast-shaped troops galloping unrestrained, flying troops blocking the Golden Rain, causing the ground to quake and the sky to lose color!
Not only is there the Spider Tower coalition led by Empress Denzel, but also the Star Hall Army and Blood Moon Army. Though belonging to three different factions, they all chase after the racing car, like a tidal wave engulfing everything!
The boiling killing intent seems to come rushing towards them, causing Void Realm creatures on the road to either be scared to death directly or collapse on the ground, with few daring to flee for their lives. Ordinary armies can seize one's spirit, let alone these armies equipped with Void Realm creature armaments, carrying passive psychological traits like 'Intimidation', 'Fear', 'Nightmare', and 'Confusion', which number over a dozen. Even an ordinary Two-winged Mage would be struck dumb, their mind blank, let alone Void Realm creatures?
But the three female mages in the racing car are not panicked at all—anyone chased continuously over a dozen times would remain calm like them.
"We can't go around; we must break through the fortress head-on, 'Six-Color Anchor' can only protect us, it can't pass through the gate."
"The car's durability is about to explode."
"That final stretch, we'll have to rely on ourselves."
Without much hesitation, having come here, they were already mentally prepared. The racing car accelerated to its limit, like a knight charging at a windmill, transforming into a phantom and crashing towards the fortress!
At the same time, the three of them shimmered with light, each equipping different battle gear!
Hanna donned a white silk dress woven with spider silk, white silk leggings revealing only her toes, a spider silk short skirt accentuating her legs' beauty, with a binding chest that gathered rather than suppressed, forming a trembling arc. Her hands wrapped in flowing sashes, long hair casually bound in a single ponytail, wearing an odd spiderweb eye mask.
Spider Tower Level Six soldier type - Peeping Secret Woman!
She immediately identified the fortress gate's weakest point, pointed out the direction, and activated the [Weaving] skill, adding a buff for her side!
Siflin's entire body exuded blood, weaving a blood-red lace dress for her, her hands clad in long black leather gloves, opening a pair of decaying blood wings on her back, the whole person seemingly bathing in a blood-red moon shadow!
Blood Tomb Level Six soldier type - Scarlet Maid!
She flew up pointing at the fortress gate, suddenly countless blood ants erupted inside the gate, the area corroded by blood ants seeming to turn into a fleshy life form, erupting blood pulp flowers!
In front of the Scarlet Maid, all defenses were null, everything transformed into a mass of flesh and filth!
As the racing car was about to slam into the gate, Freyja flew up, clad in black-green armor, one hand holding a rapier, the other a dagger. Despite the ordinary appearance, she unleashed incredible speed!
Oasis Level Six soldier type - Gray Fox Watcher!
Meiwa danced in the air, the rapier and dagger weaving a deadly spiral, her body almost turning into afterimages, boring a large bloody hole in the flesh door!
Among all the Level Six soldier types, the Gray Fox Watcher ranks first in single-target instant burst!
With the cooperation of different Level Six soldier types, this impregnable fortress was pierced through as if made of paper by them!
The three of them immediately spread their two wings and flew through the large hole, instantly activating the "Six-Color Anchor" to avoid all damage, arriving at the most mysterious eternal region of the Time Continent, the enigmatic place jointly sealed by six great powers—the Sealing Altar!
Though called an altar, it is merely a stacked high tower, appearing simple and primitive. Flying above the altar, without any guidance, Freyja took out an irregular blank stone slab, and suddenly the entire altar lit up, a golden light enveloping it!
Closer inspection reveals this golden light is composed of golden text, penetrating the Void Realm, linking heaven and earth! They are reflected on the stone slab, transforming into a dazzling flow of information!
"Finally reached this step..."
Meiwa exhaled, the Purple Moth and Little Bat also both nervous yet excited.
In their hands, they held the already formed "Blank Concept"!
Over the past month, they fled the Spider Tower Army's pursuit while pondering how to complete the blank concept, eventually deciding to take a risky gamble. By relying on the car's power, they successively broke into the Spider Tower main city and Star Hall main city, seizing the blank concepts they were nurturing, and succeeded in completing it!
But reaching this point was not enough, they still didn't know how to use the blank concept, until they encountered Fate Q&A, learning through inquiry that the blank concept could only be activated at the Sealing Altar in the center of the Time Continent.
However, as they approached the central area, they found Spider Tower, Blood Tomb, and Star Hall lying in ambush, not allowing them to come close to the center. After breaking through multiple times, battling in the Void Realm for three days and nights, they finally found the chance to break through the fortress and reach the Sealing Altar!
Now, it was time for them to reap the fruits of success!
As for what blank concept to create, they had already discussed it, so Freyja raised the stone slab high and said: "I—"
However, in the next second, the golden light of words enveloping the altar suddenly vanished, and the stone slab reverted to its original state.
The female mages were taken aback, what's going on?
"Game over, little kittens."
They turned their heads and saw that the Heroic Soul Army had taken the opportunity to encircle the Sealing Altar. Empress Denzel stood atop a giant spider, a mocking smile at her lips, staring at them and said, "Let me guess, can't use the Void Concept, can you?"
"It's quite impressive that you know to come to the Sealing Altar, which indeed is the place to activate the Void Concept. But the problem is, the complete Void Concept isn't something mortals can inscribe as World Fragments. You don't have that capability."
"The Void Concept is something only the Divine Lord can use. Even if we commanders are to use the Void Concept, we need to chant prayers and invoke the Divine Lord's cooperation to inscribe new laws on the Void Concept."
"Enough playing around, return it now." Denzel said coldly, "You have the 'Six-Colored Anchor,' I indeed can't harm you, but I can control you. Without that car, let's see how you plan to escape."
The sky and earth were filled with countless troops watching menacingly, as if they would engulf them at any second. Without the car, Freyja and her group had no chance of breaking through. Even though the 'Six-Colored Anchor' could protect them, their bodies could still be subjected to collision and friction, keeping them controlled.
Meiwa's eyes darted, looking toward the Blood Tomb Army and Star Hall Army nearby, but Denzel spoke again, "Don't bother looking; Star Hall and Blood Tomb will only hate you more. Until you give up the Void Concept, we've formed a temporary alliance."
Siflin let out a gentle sigh, sitting wearily on the altar. Hanna's body swayed, realizing they were out of options.
If they could use the Void Concept, it would all be worth it. But who knew the threshold for using the Void Concept was that of a Divine Lord?
Perhaps the Empress Commander was deceiving them, but the fact remained that they couldn't use the Void Concept!
There was nothing they could do.
All these days of effort were in vain.
Risking their lives only to gain nothing.
Life is sometimes so cruel it's bitter.
"Is there no way?"
Upon hearing Meiwa's question, both Hanna and Siflin shook their heads.
"I understand then."
Freyja raised the stone slab high, and after confirming there was truly no other reaction, she broke it forcefully.
Crack.
Everyone froze, watching as Meiwa snapped the slab into two pieces of fallen fragments.
After several seconds, Denzel reacted, "What are you doing?"
"I'm destroying it."
"Why?"
"Because I can't use it, and I don't want to let you have it. After all, this is the spoils we've worked hard for many days to obtain." Meiwa stuck her tongue out at Denzel, "I'd rather destroy it than give it to you!"
It's because you bullied Ash.
Meiwa had long held a grudge against the Empress Commander. From the diary replica, she learned that if it weren't for the Empress Commander chasing Ash all the time, she might have reunited with him on the Time Continent!
Hanna was stunned for quite a while, dumbstruck looking at Siflin, then pointed to Meiwa.
Siflin nodded, indicating that Freyja's mind indeed had this level of capability.
Denzel was somewhat at a loss from the impact of these words, she took a deep breath, covering her face.
Then, the voice, nearly breaking with fury, almost toppled the Rain Curtain:
"You have no idea what you've destroyed, Meiwa!"
Boom!
Suddenly, the Sealing Altar erupted again with golden textual light screens, but this time more fiercely, as if materially piercing through the Void Realm, even blowing away the counteractive Golden Rain!
*
In the Sea of Knowledge, Lois who finally defeated the Fish-Slicing Dragon to avenge past humiliation, felt something and lifted her head, seeing the white fog covering the sea suddenly blown away by a storm.
Far away, a dazzling, intense golden pillar pierced the sea from the sky, dyeing the dark, murky seawater in a sacred hue.
"What's happening?"
*
In the Distant Realm, Ash and the other three found their initial bubbles suddenly shattered, and all visible bubbles around them shattered too, allowing them to vaguely see figures floating deep in the air.
Then a gigantic golden bubble suddenly appeared, in everyone's view projecting golden pillars from both ends, seemingly fixed in the Distant Realm.
"What's happening?"
*
On Ruby Mountain, the Mercury Wooden Horse was observing the ultimate place of yearning for countless mages through the perspective of the Legendary Mage. Rarely would she possess someone else's soul to explore the Void Realm, but a Legendary Mage was worth a special exception.
Suddenly, the mountain, constructed entirely of ruby, surged with countless golden script, forming chains of flowing golden links, yet not stealing away the ruby's brilliant luster. The two shined together, sparking inspiration in the heart seas of the Legendary Mages!
"What's happening?"
