Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 682 Journey to the Center of the Earth
From the ancient times to the modern times, people have often linked the sky, the earth and the ocean together and listed them as three equal entities.

This is certainly not a mistake.
If you don't just look at it from a physical perspective.

Thousands of years before the first man-made aircraft achieved stable flight, there were individuals who took the lead by countless steps and were the first to take to the sky.

A third-ring psychic is qualified to attempt to break through the atmosphere alone and be exposed to and survive in the space environment for a short period of time.

The ocean will also unveil its mysterious veil for him. The bottom of the abyss thousands of meters deep, which is always dark, will inevitably be stained with the footprints of psychics. Admittedly, even for a third-level psychic, there is still a certain degree of danger in attempting such an action.

But it’s only to a “certain extent”.

——Except the earth.

To be more precise, it is underground.

If we talk about the "earth's crust", the depth of thirty-three kilometers only requires a little more effort and a little digging. Then the part further down, the "mantle" spanning two thousand nine hundred kilometers, is an insurmountable chasm that is enough to make even third-ring psychics lose the desire to challenge it.

It's not just the astronomical quality.

The greater and more real threat than simple hardness and thickness lies in temperature and pressure.

When the depth of the abyss reaches 10,000 meters, the pressure of 100 megapascals generated is equivalent to a thousand times the atmospheric pressure, which can distort steel and crush even the most literal iron man.

The pressure at the bottom of the earth's crust is ten times this.

One gigapascal is just the bottom of the earth's crust, thirty-three kilometers. Going down further, all the way to the bottom of the mantle, which is 2,900 kilometers from the surface, the pressure will increase by another hundred times.

Based on the bottom of the earth's crust, it is strengthened a hundred times.

Along with this, the ambient temperature soared to thousands of degrees - under normal circumstances, the high temperature of a steelmaking furnace would not exceed two thousand degrees.

Even [Transcendence], who is renowned for his physical strength and has undergone repeated evolution and refinement, cannot withstand such an extreme environment - even most fourth-ring psychics are unwilling and unable to risk going deep underground.

The flame converged into a line and was rapidly swimming through the middle of the mantle.

Song Shi concentrated and held his breath, maintaining his attention at its peak.

The temperature is not so bad, several times that of a steel furnace, up to several thousand degrees? This is dangerous for other psychics, but as a fourth-ring [Dayuan] walking on the path of "fire", although it is not bone-chillingly cold, it is not a threat either.

Especially for a psychic like himself who has reached the fourth ring and is one step away from the peak.

The real trouble lies in pressure and environment.

Song Shi felt the [Black Body Imperial Curtain] for a while. As the depth of the dive continued to increase, the latter gradually felt that it could no longer sustain. The super-intense pressure that was constantly and everywhere exerted on the intruder continuously, and a protracted tug-of-war with the [Black Body Imperial Curtain] began.

After a fierce battle with the Star Destroyer Mecha, and having used [A Crack in the Sky], his condition was already not good. Now he had to dive down in one breath, and he had to be extremely cautious.

As for the environment
Song Shixin thought.

The ritual of engraving the psychic skill [Rendering] by oneself is to control the eruption of a volcano, which requires high control and resonance with the environment. After all, volcanic activity is violent, complex and rapid. Controlling its eruption by one's own power is like a knight trying to control a fierce horse.

At this moment, it seems to me that the temper of the mantle layer is many times greater than that of a so-called violent volcano!
For the first time, the never-ending geological activities that had lasted for millions of years were clearly displayed before Song Shi's eyes. Matter was transformed into an almost soft plastic form under ultra-high temperature and high pressure. The hot rocks flowed and merged into an endless, intricate and vast ocean.

——Even if you just reach out and touch them, they will suddenly jump up and resist passionately.

In this case, the difficulty of trying to resonate with the environment and achieve harmony between man and nature increases exponentially.

"This special training comes at a really bad time."

Song Shi made a sound and quickly divided his mind into three tasks: resisting the pressure, repeatedly trying to achieve unity of man and nature, gaining experience, and staring at the front. The ball of light.

The ball of light that was born in the [Starting Furnace] and was rushing towards the underground.

The terrifying pressure, the turbulent environment, the high temperature that was enough to evaporate steel, these were all difficult problems for Song Shi, but the ball of light turned a blind eye to them all and just went down, down, and down again!

Along the way, the speed of this ball of light did not decrease but increased instead, rushing faster and faster, forcing me to speed up rapidly.

The situation is not good.
The threat from the surroundings slowly but steadily increased. Song Shi evaluated his spiritual energy and found that there was not much left, but it was far from sufficient. If he continued to go deeper, through the mantle layer, into the core, or even the center of the earth - the environment there would be even more extreme than the mantle.

A bad one…

The next moment, Song Shi sneered and accelerated decisively.

"——If I can't even stand this, then I deserve to die!"

As if it was not enough, Song Shi launched [Soaring to the Sky] without hesitation. Under the skyrocketing speed, the original momentum of chasing the light ball suddenly turned into catching up, as if forcing the light ball to speed up!
It was also at this moment that the ball of light appeared for the first time since it separated from the Star Destroyer Mecha. The feeling of being a "living thing"?

It only made a simple response to the young man's action.

The speed also skyrocketed.

The ball of light and the stream of flame intertwined to form a spiral two-color stream of light, dragging out an incomparably brilliant tail flame, falling towards the center of the earth. Neither the flowing rocks nor the vibrating plates could stop them.

I don’t know how long it took, an hour, or maybe even longer, even Song Shi began to feel exhausted, and the surrounding environment suddenly changed——

It is not the refreshing feeling of finally breaking out of the water and breathing deeply after diving in the deep sea for a long time.

Instead, the deep sea, which was originally filled with undercurrents, suddenly began to surge with raging waves!

After repeated attempts and learning during this period of time, the "harmony between man and nature" that had just been completed was suddenly interrupted. No... Song Shi felt that it was not an interruption like a bad signal, but clearly some more powerful will that forcibly shattered the resonance between himself and the environment.

Then, in front of him, he demonstrated his control over this world!

But at this moment, Song Shi had no time to care.

He clicked his tongue subconsciously.

The center of the earth should be at the center of the earth now. The extreme environment and bad condition have greatly weakened my perception, and I can't determine my current exact location.

The sixth ring [Dayuan], the [throne of God] in this world.

The pure white, spherical sea of ​​light floated quietly here, and the light bands floated out from the deepest part, like beautiful and dangerous silk. But even the thinnest and shortest strand of silk was enough to wrap around the mountains.

A diameter of one thousand kilometers, two thousand kilometers, or even larger, or even the entire center of the earth is actually filled? Song Shi didn't know.

The ball of light that had been chasing all the way suddenly disintegrated, turned into countless light dusts, flew into the sea of ​​light, and returned to the embrace.

"Three thousand illuminating lights."

Song Shi touched the cracks that were gradually spreading on his face, stared at Guanghai, and recited softly.

"——Ming Xianyuan."
