These terrifying celestial phenomena can only be observed through satellites, but there is no way to understand what the center actually is.
But a terrifying consensus has already formed:
If this force is allowed to continue to run rampant on Earth, not to mention human civilization, the entire planet's life system will likely be completely destroyed and crushed into dust!
Life on Earth is incredibly fragile in the face of such a high level of trials.
The root cause of all these catastrophic chain reactions is the price Lu Mingfei paid for delaying the "Ten Trials" for too long.
He will undergo a trial before he reaches the first level.
Perhaps the so-called Trial of the Wind is nothing more than a high-altitude skydive.
But now, the system has created such a catastrophe in order to match his strength.
……
The wind blades, like billions of invisible divine weapons, continued to tear at Lu Mingfei's stellar body.
The excruciating pain was like a maggot clinging to the bone, penetrating deep into the marrow.
However, what shocked Lu Mingfei even more was the silent lament coming from the planet below.
The trial storm he unleashed is destroying the Earth's ecological balance!
Boiling oceans, rapidly melting glaciers, chaotic climate systems... every sensation pierced his nerves.
"I can't... stay any longer!" A resolute glint flashed in Lu Mingfei's eyes.
Enduring the horrifying pain of his flesh being torn apart, he abruptly turned around.
Heading towards the higher reaches of space, braving the invisible gales powerful enough to tear space apart, they flew with all their might!
call out!
His figure transformed into a dim silver rainbow, struggling to climb upwards against the storm of laws.
The azure outline of the Earth gradually shrank beneath his feet, the thin atmosphere resembling a pale blue veil.
He pierced through the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere... until he reached the edge of the cold, near-vacuum exosphere.
Here, the lights of the planet below were already blurred, and above him was a vast and boundless starry sky. The immense darkness and loneliness instantly swallowed him up.
However, the chaotic gale originating from the "Trial of the Wind" did not disappear in the slightest even though he was far away from Earth!
They are like a persistent, malignant tumor, a test at the level of laws, ignoring spatial distance, still following him like a shadow, howling and cutting around him.
The terrifying wind blades at an altitude of 10,000 meters seem to possess even more concentrated and pure power at the edge of the universe.
However, Lu Mingfei keenly noticed that when he was at the boundary between the atmosphere and the void of space, the impact on the Earth below was indeed weakened!
"Right here!" Lu Mingfei murmured to himself.
Chapter 184 Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Star Core Formation
He dared not risk flying into the deeper reaches of space, fearing he might never return.
He hovered at the edge of the cold, desolate universe, isolating most of the destructive aftershocks of the storm from the planet.
But this does not mean it is safe.
The storm continues!
The sharp cutting sound was like the howling of millions of vengeful ghosts in his ears, as his flesh continued to peel away.
What's even more terrifying is that he could clearly feel that every time the chaotic gale swept past his body, it was like an invisible, greedy hand.
It not only cut into his flesh, but also continuously "blew away" the pure sword energy and the vast star power within him!
Power, like sand in an hourglass, is irreversibly slipping away.
The excruciating pain, mixed with the weakness brought on by the loss of strength, crashed against his will like waves of icy water.
His body trembled slightly in the gale, revealing more and more of his golden bones, making him look like a piece of glass about to shatter.
Boiling a frog in lukewarm water!
If this continues, he will turn into cosmic dust as his power dwindles, even without a storm tearing him apart!
Just at this desperate moment when he was on the verge of collapse, a flash of inspiration, like a lightning bolt piercing the darkness, suddenly exploded in his mind, which was on the verge of chaos!
—The Soaring Dragon Step in the Void!
The second key principle, etched deep within his soul: Rise with the wind, move with the wind! As long as the wind does not stop, the dance will not cease!
Isn't this omnipresent, chaotic gale that has driven him to the brink of despair the perfect place to cultivate this technique?!
"call……"
The breath Lu Mingfei exhaled instantly condensed and dissipated in the vacuum, and an astonishing light burst forth in his crimson eyes—a thirst for life and a resolute determination to reverse his predicament!
He abruptly abandoned the idea of resisting the gale, forcibly suppressing the intense pain in his body and the emptiness of his strength, and his mind instantly sank into the profound trajectory of the Void Soaring Dragon Step.
hum...
A faint yet strange rhythm began to emanate from his broken body.
He no longer fights against the wind, but tries to understand its trajectory, its breath, and its rhythm.
His movements became extremely strange and distorted, sometimes swaying like willow catkins in the wind, and sometimes like a fish swimming upstream, searching for that tiny "path to survival" among the billions of gales strong enough to tear stars apart.
*Swoosh!* A blade of wind grazed the exposed arm bone, taking away a bit of flesh and blood, but failed to cause any deeper damage.
Swoosh! More wind blades brushed past, creating a perilous situation.
At first, it was incredibly difficult; every dodge felt like dancing on a knife's edge.
The Star Body's powerful self-healing ability barely kept him from disintegrating immediately, but the loss of power continued.
However, Lu Mingfei's mind was more focused than ever before.
He forgot the pain, forgot the weakness, forgot where he was; all that remained in his eyes was the invisible yet omnipresent "wind".
The essence of the Void Soaring Dragon Step circulated wildly within his body, adapting to the violent and distorted laws of this chaotic gale.
Gradually, his movements became smoother and more natural, from clumsy to deliberate imitation.
He no longer "dodges" the wind blades, but rather "integrates" into the storm itself, becoming a part of the storm's flow.
The frequency of the wind blade cutting seems to have... slowed down?
No, it was his perception and reaction that, under this extreme pressure, were elevated to an unbelievable level!
Lu Mingfei felt as if he had transformed into a real dragon, freely traversing and soaring through the chaotic storm formed by the laws of wind.
The chaotic gale that had originally been cutting him and plundering his power had now become an "assistance" in propelling his body forward!
His figure moved faster and faster in the eye of the storm, leaving behind afterimages that almost formed a hazy band of light.
A remarkable turning point quietly arrived.
He was no longer merely "dancing" to the rhythm of the storm; his own rhythm, the rhythm of his Void Soaring Dragon Steps, began to subtly influence the direction of the surrounding gale!
The wind... began to move with him!
Those originally violent and chaotic, destructive winds of law, when they approached within a certain range of his body, strangely became "obedient," as if tamed by an invisible force field, flowing around him instead of cutting him.
They could no longer easily penetrate his defenses, nor could they "blow" away even a trace of sword energy and star power from his body!
The sense of deprivation and destructive power brought by the Trial of Wind were completely neutralized by the Void Soaring Dragon Step at this moment.
His second installment of the Taixu Youlong Steps was a complete success.
Just as Lu Mingfei was feeling excited and experiencing the profound realm of controlling the edge of the storm, the surrounding space suddenly underwent a violent and disorderly distortion!
Before he could react, the view of the universe and stars in front of him vanished instantly!
It was as if an invisible giant hand had forcibly dragged us from the eye of the storm and plunged us into a completely different, suffocating predicament!
Boom! ! !
An indescribable, terrifying pressure was pressing in relentlessly from all directions, leaving no blind spots!
There was no light. Utter darkness.
There is no air. It is a perfect vacuum.
Only the hard, cold, and extremely dense rock, wriggling and contracting like a living thing, tightly enveloped and imprisoned him!
He was instantly thrown into the deepest part of the planet—the mantle!
That hell is made of molten and solid rock, with temperatures reaching thousands of degrees and pressures strong enough to crush diamonds into powder!
puff!
A mouthful of golden blood spurted from his mouth and was instantly vaporized by the surrounding high-temperature lava.
The celestial body let out a mournful cry of unbearable pressure, its tough golden bones creaking under the terrifying pressure, as if it would shatter into pieces at any moment!
His proud Shangqing Sword Qi, his newly mastered Taixu Soaring Dragon Step, and even his indestructible Star Body...
Before this "power of the earth," which isolates everything and is pure to the extreme, it seems to have lost all meaning!
His body was sinking and deforming inch by inch.
His consciousness, overwhelmed by suffocating pain and immense pressure, flickered and dimmed rapidly, like a candle in the wind, sinking into eternal darkness...
"Are you going to...die...?"
The cold touch of death gripped his soul.
Just as his consciousness was about to completely sink into chaos, a faint "pulse" pierced through the endless layers of rock and despair, suddenly stabbing into his senses!
It was a rhythm that was profound, expansive, encompassing all things yet containing boundless power!
A feeling he had when he borrowed Xia Mi's authority...
The pulse of the earth! The call of the authority of the earth!
This faint feeling, stemming from the soul contract, is like the last straw a drowning person grasps at!
On the verge of death, Lu Mingfei used his last remaining will to forcefully capture the earth rhythm originating from Xia Mi!
He had no power to control it, so he could only instinctively "resonate" with it!
hum...
