Chapter 1252 - 613: Breaking the Way to Exterminate the Demon
"Cui Cui~!" "Mian Mian~!" "Meimei~!" "Jianjian!" "Daodao!" "Qiangqiang!" "Chuchu!" "Qiqi~~" "Qiqi~~" "Qiqi~~"
Finally, the opportunity to appear came, and the ten tentacles cheered excitedly, leaping forward and instantly tying Yingtao on the lotus platform like a tight bundle, with the tentacles bound into a meatball resembling sachima.
Then, a torrent of Netherworld Spring poured heavily, like mud being furiously injected, and raised a barrier akin to concrete, sealing this anomaly firmly within an eight-sided truncated cube Black Coffin.
After a set of COMBO with Returning Void Hand, Chen Xuantian did not rush to conclude, squatting in the corner to observe for a while. Confirming that the unusual shadow was no longer reflected on the surrounding jade, he rolled up his sleeves and extended a hand to check.
Hmm, the radiation intensity has indeed noticeably decreased. There might still be radioactive dust in the air, or particle beams bouncing between the white walls, but the source of radiation, the anomaly, has indeed been sealed by the Netherworld Spring. Though his skin still felt severely burnt, it wasn’t melting like butter anymore as it did earlier.
This was consistent with Chen Xuantian’s conjecture, especially since the so-called radiation transmits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particle flows. Given that Netherworld Spring acts as a battery fluid and can even remotely charge the battleship turrets, it naturally follows that it could be used to seal off and isolate the radiation from the anomaly.
Feeling the continuous flow of energy from the Black Coffin, Chen Xuantian was momentarily thoughtful. While the specific Tao Domain laws possessed by the anomaly were still unclear, he had gained some insight into the rules of Netherworld Spring after days of experimenting with Returning to Life and Returning to Void.
As the main energy carrier of the company civilization, Netherworld Spring can absorb and store various forms of energy such as electrical energy, thermal energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, and radiation energy, then transmit and convert them back at will. Its physical properties are relatively stable, and it is easy to manipulate.
But this energy system clearly violates multiple physical laws, the most core conflict being its disregard for the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy in an isolated system always increases or remains constant, never spontaneously decreasing. Heat cannot spontaneously transfer from a cold to a hot object.
Therefore, in a sense, the Netherworld Spring is an entirely unreasonable, self-operating Maxwell’s Demon, capable of automatically sorting disordered energy into ordered storage forms and reversing these processes whenever required.
So, if the anomaly were merely an out-of-control Gamma Ray gun, throwing it into the Netherworld Spring Battery fluid would essentially solve the radiation issue, and it could even serve as a radioactive isotope thermoelectric generator.
Yet, if so, why wouldn’t the company handle it this way? Instead, they undertook the laborious task of sealing it and hoped to sever it with the Breaking Dao Divine Weapon?
Chen Xuantian couldn’t fathom it, and he wouldn’t impulsively risk it himself, trying to see if it could be severed without a sword.
After all, physics isn’t something that can be easily shattered by shouting about friendship, justice, or all life. Grosser measures might instantly trigger intense radiation activity, so it’s best to stay cautious and maintain a sense of reverence for matters even the company finds challenging.
Thus, Chen Xuantian decisively cut ties, slicing the Netherworld Spring into two with a black gauze, and used ten tentacles and the Black Coffin to control the anomaly. He then turned around, leaning against the surrounding white jade walls, carefully exploring, attempting to sense the position of the drone.
Good, this level is only so large, and since the drone isn’t here, it should easily be heading to the Sword Array. Moreover, the two behind are merely containment sites for the anomaly, and the Youquan Taoist Body won’t be damaged by radiation. So as long as he roughly senses the drone’s location, he can determine the position of the Sword Array.
And this windowless, doorless white jade room isn’t something new for Chen Xuantian; in fact, this might well be the third, no, the fourth time he has encountered it. Wasn’t there such a white jade wall at the Taihua Yeqing Pond under Heng Mountain? Tie Dan went there twice to fight something called Supreme Bliss. Also, Huangfu Yi went to the demoness’s boudoir in the Carefree Wind Pavilion once. Although Kun brought them in and out, since they battled Xiaoyao Sect’s bosses, using the Xiaoyao Sect’s Cloud Riding Escape Technique should allow them to pass through the white jade walls freely inside and out...
"Crash!"
The Black Coffin broke.
Tsk, just knew it wouldn’t be that simple. Others might breeze through, but when it comes to him, he has to fight his way through every step. Fate can be cruel...
Chen Xuantian sighed and didn’t look back. After all, through the six-sided jade pendant, he could see clearly how the tentacles behind were screaming "Cui Cui~ Qiqi~," shrinking like leeches and tumbling off Yingtao, then scampering under Chen Xuantian’s robe.
Oh my, just one Cui Cui and one Qiqi left? How perilous can it be?
In the next instant, Yingtao exploded. Yes, the pregnant Yingtao, in that moment, like a ripe cherry, her whole body just...
"BONG!"
Black flesh and blood splattered in chaos, organs soared, intestines scattered, bones lay in disarray, limbs sprawled apart, with a scene of absolute horror.
Then, a hand reached out from the cavity, followed by a head, shoulders, spine, back, waist, and hips, the whole figure as if carved and polished entirely from obsidian, crystal clear and beautiful. Still facing away from the six-sided jade pendant, the young demon statue emerged through a breach, coming into the world, lightly touching the ground with her jade foot, standing on one leg atop the blooming lotus platform.
