The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 864 Severing the Black Gold Pillar

As the divination results became clearer, Moran's brows furrowed even more: "How could it be... there?"

The location of the Sky Well indicated by the prophetic magic completely coincided with the point where the dark golden beam of light pierced through the boundary membrane!

The Starry Ark cautiously sailed to that area, and the scene before it not only confirmed the divination but also brought a deeper sense of dread.

The end of the dark golden beam of light, resembling a giant, opaque amber, completely enveloped and sealed the Sky Well and its explorer camp, which should have been integrated with the boundary membrane. This meant that although the area was still within the boundary membrane of the Heavenly Profound Realm, it was completely isolated from it.

"It seems that without destroying this dark golden pillar of light, there's no way to get the Sky Well back into normal operation and guide the local cultivators!"

Moran no longer hesitated and had Zhizhi pilot the Starry Sea Ark away from the boundary membrane of the Heavenly Profound Realm, returning to the void.

"Target locked, dark golden energy pillar ahead." Moran's voice was unusually calm. "Activate attack mode! Release sixth-order spatial blade!"

The next moment, a card popped out from the boundary membrane of the Starry Ark, transforming into a giant silver blade that stretched across half the world in the void, and slashed fiercely at the dark gold energy pillar not far away!
Wherever the spatial blade passed, the void itself was distorted.

However, just as the spatial blade was about to touch the black gold pillar of light...

"Om-"

An indescribable, powerful will descended along the dark gold pillar of light, instantly increasing its defensive power several times over.

"Keng——!"

The sixth-order spatial blade, powerful enough to cleave through a level ten world boundary membrane, struck the black-gold pillar of light and emitted a piercing, sharp sound like divine iron clashing. The violent spatial power and the black-gold energy pillar collided, churning the surrounding void into chaos.

The spatial blade managed to cut halfway in with difficulty, but eventually exhausted its strength and shattered into countless silver light spots, disappearing without a trace.

Fortunately, a crack also appeared on the black gold pillar of light, and the light flickered.

Even though Moran sensed the anger emanating from the pillar of black light, she continued to say to Kaba, "Slash again!"

If she were in a giant plane, or in one of the two level-eight worlds that were initially identified as having major or minor misfortune, she would still worry that the energy controlling the boundary membrane by the world's consciousness would be detrimental to her.

But now, is it in a secondary world separated by endless void, or outside the boundary membrane?

Even the strongest global consciousness cannot directly influence existences outside of this world.

Even in a world exceeding level 13, it's the same!
Another card flashing with dangerous silver light popped out, and the second sixth-order spatial blade had already taken shape. With an indomitable momentum, it tore through the void once again and slashed fiercely at the black gold pillar of light that had just been severely damaged and had not yet fully recovered!

The cracks on the black gold pillar spread further, but it still did not break. Energy continued to flow along the black gold pillar to repair it, and the newly formed cracks were quickly repaired.

This time, Moran took matters into his own hands, repeatedly pressing the attack button.

The third strike!
The fourth strike!
The fifth strike!
……

With the seventh strike, accompanied by a crisp sound, the dark golden energy pillar finally gave way under this blow and shattered into pieces.

Starting from the point of fracture, the light from the energy pillar rapidly dimmed and dissipated in two directions, finally disappearing into the void. "Success!"

Inside the control room, Zizi cheered happily, and the roots of the moss tree swayed gently, recording this historic moment. The soul fire in Kaba's skull also leaped excitedly.

However, there was no joy on Moran's face.

Her hand remained firmly on the attack button, her gaze sharp as an eagle's, fixed on the direction from which the energy beam originated.

Her worries did not disappear with the breaking of the beam of light; instead, they became even heavier.

The world consciousness itself cannot directly affect existences outside the boundary, but... spellcasters within the world, if powerful enough, can!

This dark golden energy pillar is essentially composed of the boundary energy of that giant world; it is a part of that world's boundary membrane.

Now that the energy pillar has been severed, it can no longer draw upon the power of origin from this world. Will the colossal world consciousness seek help from the powerful spellcasters within its world?
Ascension from the lower realms is so rapid; the powerful beings sent here by that giant world must have been just as quick!
I just don't know if the golden energy beam broke on the way here, and whether that will have any impact on the spellcasters who came.

That's a world beyond level 13, where the strongest spellcasters might be at the eighth or even ninth rank!

If the prophecy magic hadn't clearly indicated "great fortune," and if her card book hadn't once again stored trillions of magical power, given her usual caution, she would have immediately fled the moment she severed the pillar of light, and would never have lingered there for even a moment longer.

Just as Moran was on high alert, a sudden change occurred in the void ahead!
A blurry figure, exuding a suffocating aura, sped towards them from afar.

Although he appeared to be breathing erratically and was seriously injured, Moran still felt immense pressure.

Before it could get close, Moran immediately pressed the attack button.

The Starry Ark's attack system was fully activated, disregarding energy consumption. Countless sixth-tier magic cards poured out, overwhelming the dangerous figure and leaving him completely overwhelmed, unable to move forward any further.

At the same time, Moran quickly mobilized his magic and began to curse the figure approaching from afar.

Just then, a raging energy storm swept in, passing right through the area of ​​intense bombing.

The figure among them was unable to dodge in time, and its defenses were instantly shattered by the energy storm.

What was originally a sixth-tier spell that could only cause him minor injuries has now become a death sentence.

Without protection, every blazing fireball, every sharp ice spike, and every twisting spatial blade struck his body squarely. He had never trained his body!
A dense, torrential torrent of magic continued to pour down, and his aura rapidly weakened, eventually dissipating completely amidst the raging energy turbulence and endless magical radiance.

"Dead?" Moran remembered that cultivators could also cultivate their primordial spirit. Sometimes, even if their physical bodies were destroyed, their primordial spirit could escape, seize another body, and be reborn. So she did not stop attacking for the time being and bombarded the area for several more minutes, plowing the void back and forth several times until the energy storm subsided before she stopped.

Seeing that the one-time magic power she had painstakingly accumulated over the years, amounting to more than two trillion mana, had dwindled to less than nine hundred billion mana, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

“But this can’t be considered ‘auspicious’!” Moran felt that there must be deeper benefits yet to come.

"Click! Let's go check it out!" Moran stared intently at the screen.
