Chapter 2982 - 2983: Dimensional Barrier
Chapter 2982: Chapter 2983: Dimensional Barrier
Shuming gazed at the creeping darkness opposite him with a chilling look in his eyes.
"So you’re saying all this just to make me take action?"
"Of course, it’s not to let you deal with Xue An alone. I will assist you!"
"How will you assist? By standing in the back and cheering?" Shuming sneered.
Back then, when they, along with many Evil Gods, launched an attack under the lead of the Lord, this creeping darkness’s only contribution was standing at the back and cheering, which is why Shuming mocked it now.
Yet, the creeping darkness didn’t care about any of this and giggled, "Of course not, in fact, this time my task is even more arduous than yours."
"Heh!" Shuming sneered and said nothing, not believing any of it.
The creeping darkness was in no rush and said calmly, "Do you know that the current Xue An is not even a complete entity, but merely a spiritual body?"
Of course, Shuming could see that, so he retorted, "So what?"
"So what? Hehe, if I’m right, Xue An’s physical body must be stored within the Multiverse, and as long as his physical body is destroyed, the current Xue An will inevitably weaken! After all, for Human Clan cultivators, the physical body is the foundation of everything, the core of their spirit!"
"Though Xue An’s spirit is strong enough to exist independently from his physical body, it can’t defy this rule!"
"So what? Do you think you can descend into the Multiverse to destroy Xue An’s physical body?" Shuming responded coldly.
"Why can’t I?" The creeping darkness replied enigmatically.
Shuming was taken aback and blurted out, "How is that possible? Beings like you and me can’t break through the dimensional barrier; even if we forcefully descend, we could only send a part of ourselves."
"I suppose Xue An isn’t a fool; his physical body would surely be well-guarded, so sending just a part of ourselves would be useless!"
"Hehe, who said I’d descend as a part of myself?" The creeping darkness chuckled.
"Then you...?"
"You should know, while the dimensional barrier is nearly indestructible, it’s not wholly insurmountable, right!" The creeping darkness grinned.
Shuming was utterly shaken, "How could this be...?"
The reason for calling it a barrier is because of its invincibility.
Countless powerful beings throughout history have tried to break this barrier, to conquer lower dimensions from a higher one, only to fail.
It’s as if a curse set when the world was born, no matter how strong you are, you can’t enter a lower-dimensional world unscathed.
And it’s precisely this rule that protects the living beings of the low-dimensional universe.
Otherwise, beings like Shuming could wipe out countless star systems with a single breath if they were to descend.
Now, listening to the creeping darkness’s words, it seems there is a way to bypass the dimensional barrier.
This realization made Shuming unsettled.
"Under normal circumstances, of course not, but now there’s a rare opportunity to help me bypass the barrier with only a slight loss of power and enter the Multiverse!"
"What opportunity?" Shuming immediately asked.
"Hehe, look at this!"
A large shadow appeared before them, then gradually revealed its contours.
Shuming’s eyes widened, "Isn’t this the corpse of those fallen Evil Gods?"
"Exactly, and it’s also the opportunity I mentioned!"
Through the creeping darkness’s explanation, Shuming finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that the creeping darkness had extensively researched the dimensional barrier because of the unique nature of its grasp of certain rules.
It accidentally discovered that the dimensional barrier isn’t truly impenetrable; it simply has an unimaginably high threshold.
This threshold doesn’t refer to ordinary energy or the natural force but to the literal offer of life’s soul.
So you could also consider this threshold as a form of sacrifice.
If you can sacrifice ninety percent of your soul, you can cross the dimensional barrier at a minimal cost.
In fact, this point was not undiscovered, but no one had ever done it.
The reason is simple, if you sacrificed ninety percent of your soul, even if you don’t die, you’d be crippled, so what’s the point of crossing over?
However, when the creeping darkness realized this, it was delighted and kept it firmly in mind.
Until this great battle, this flaw finally proved useful.
Looking at the triumphant creeping darkness, Shuming felt a surge of icy fear he couldn’t suppress.
Though both were evil entities, the creeping darkness had overstepped boundaries, making Shuming feel nauseated.
The creeping darkness’s method was simple, if the sacrifice isn’t of its own soul, then doesn’t that solve the problem?
As for how to deceive the dimensional barrier...
The rules mastered by the creeping darkness allowed it deep expertise in the realm of souls.
After the Evil Gods perished in battle, the creeping darkness instantly sealed their corpses.
Even preserving their remaining souls within.
Until the need arose today, the creeping darkness first broke the seal, then used its rules to forcibly extract the remaining souls and absorbed them.
Instantly, the creeping darkness’s soul received a terrifying amplification.
But this was destined to be a fleeting spectacle, because these souls had long since died, even forced fusion would cause them to dissipate in an extremely short time.
But that was enough.
The creeping darkness grinned at Shuming, "I will descend into the Multiverse to deal with Xue An’s physical body, while you go to the Feixian Temple to handle Xue An’s spirit, which is currently merging with The Celestial Mirror. We’ll proceed separately, what do you think?"
The situation had reached this point, and despite feeling wary of the creeping darkness, Shuming had no better options, so he nodded.
"Alright!"
"Then I’ll go ahead!"
Boom!
The massive soul vanished instantly, turning the corpses of the Evil Gods on the ground into ashes along with it.
And then the creeping darkness’s form disappeared from its place.
Being the master of the Time Law, Shuming could feel that just moments ago, a shadow shot straight through the dimensional barrier, its destination unknown.
Shuming took a deep breath, and his originally gigantic form rapidly compressed.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a small dragon, barely a mile long and pure white.
"Xue An, I refuse to believe you can survive such a lethal scheme, and once you fall, the Hua Clan’s fortune will dissipate completely. At that time, even if the god protecting you is still alive, it would be powerless!"
Shuming swung its body, merging directly into the wilderness of time and vanished.
At the same time, throughout the entire high-dimensional universe, every hidden, whether asleep or awake, evil being received the same command.
Assemble!
In an instant, the entire high-dimensional universe stirred in darkness, awakening countless ancient evils, with their sights set on the Feixian Temple.
The great battle was imminent.
Many individuals of formidable cultivation couldn’t help but sense an impending dread, or incomprehensively turn their gazes to the boundless darkness.
