Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 334 The Empress Blocks the Way, Separating the Two Continents by a Void Barrier

Led by Michael and Remiel, the remnants of the Holy City transformed into several dim streaks of light, rushing headlong towards the distant east.

Behind them lay their fallen homeland and the sorrow of their fallen comrades; ahead lay an unknown road.

The atmosphere in the group was very oppressive, and everyone was silent.

The double blow to their mental and physical well-being these past few days has been an immense burden for these former elites of the Holy City.

Exhaustion was etched on everyone's face, and the holy light had lost its brilliance.

Finally, at the horizon where heaven and earth meet, the outline of that massive, winding mountain range gradually became clear.

“Look! It’s the Ural Mountains!” a holy judge mage exclaimed, his voice trembling with barely suppressed excitement. “Once we cross it, we’ll reach Asia!”

Finally, we're about to escape this world dominated by the void.

These words finally brought a faint spark of energy to the previously silent team.

Many people subconsciously looked up at the sky, where the void rift, as menacing as a scar on the world and constantly exuding an ominous aura, seemed to be gradually fading away and becoming blurred.

A faint hope of surviving a catastrophe began to quietly sprout in everyone's hearts.

"Go! Speed ​​up!" Michael's voice also carried a hint of urgency.

With a powerful flap of his golden wings, he charged ahead towards the mountain pass that symbolized the intercontinental boundary.

However, just as Michael, who was at the forefront, was about to cross that invisible dividing line—

"Buzz!"

A muffled buzzing sound suddenly rang out!

Michael felt as if he had crashed head-on into an invisible, intangible, yet incredibly resilient wall!

The immense recoil caused his rapidly flying figure to suddenly halt, and he even involuntarily took a few steps back, his blood and qi surging within him.

"What's going on?" Michael steadied himself, his bright golden eyes filled with surprise and vigilance. He looked around but found no physical obstacles.

"What's wrong?" Remiel, Raphael, and the others behind him immediately stopped and looked over in confusion.

Michael frowned, his ominous premonition growing stronger.

He let out a low shout and threw a punch forward!
"boom!"

Holy light burst forth, scattering rays of light everywhere!
But that blow, powerful enough to shatter mountain rocks, only created violently distorted ripples in the void in front of them!
At the same time, an indescribable "Void" power, far more condensed than the energy of Vel'Koz, the Eye of the Void, and more profound and terrifying than the savage aura of Cho'Gath, the Void Terror, suddenly spread out along the direction of the Ural Mountains, like an ancient behemoth awakening!
At that moment, everyone was horrified to discover that the starting point was the invisible mountain baseline beneath their feet.

An enormous, completely transparent, yet real energy barrier, like an absolute wall connecting heaven and earth, stands majestically along the dividing line of the entire Eurasian continent, completely separating the two continents!

At the very point where Michael attacked, ripples in space rapidly converged.

A beautiful yet ethereal projection, exuding boundless majesty and a chilling aura, slowly coalesced into shape.

She has a humanoid female silhouette, but her body is composed of flowing dark purple void energy.

Her face was blurred, but her eyes, devoid of any emotion and looking down upon all living beings, were clearly visible.

It was none other than the supreme ruler of the void creatures—the Void Queen, Bervis! The appearance of this projection did not bring overwhelming pressure, but it made all the survivors of the Holy City present feel an absolute and despairing sense of oppression from the deepest part of their souls.

After the phantom appeared, it uttered only four words: "No passage!"

“It’s…it’s her!” A member of the Holy Shadow trembled as unpleasant memories flooded back.

"It was her who... forcibly took Kogas away back then!"

“How is this possible… She actually…” Remiel’s face drained of color, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

Only now did they realize that while Vel'Koz, Cho'Gath, and Rek'Sai were besieging the Holy City and attracting the world's attention, the Void Queen had not been idle.

With her immense power, she silently constructed this terrifying barrier that spans the entire continent and isolates Eurasia!
Without her permission, no living being can even dream of stepping directly from Europe into Asia!
"how so!"

The team was instantly thrown into panic and commotion.

"What do we do? The void creatures have set up a barrier here; we can't get through at all!"

"Let's gather all our strength and attack one point together! Maybe we can force our way through!" suggested a fiercely independent Saint Shadow, who had already begun to gather holy light in his hands.

“No!” Michael immediately stopped him. “I just tested it, and the strength of this barrier is beyond my expectations.”

"Moreover, such a massive energy surge will inevitably alert the Void Queen herself! If we attract her here, or if she commands all the Void creatures to besiege us... we will absolutely be doomed!"

"These damned void creatures... Where did they come from? How can they possess such power?!" someone muttered in despair.

"What's the point of saying all this now!" Michael abruptly interrupted his subordinates' despairing discussion.

His face was grim, his gaze fixed on the fading illusory projection of Bervis and the insurmountable barrier before him.

Raphael took a deep breath, but with an air of trying to inspire others, and said loudly:
"Everyone! Do not be discouraged! The opponent's power is indeed unfathomable. The energy required to construct and maintain such a magnificent barrier that separates two continents must be astronomical!"

"Even if she is the Void Queen, can she truly sustain herself eternally without any cost?"

Upon hearing this, the light in everyone's dim eyes began to shine again.

“That’s right! A barrier of this scale could not possibly be perfect and indestructible in every inch! Just as the strongest shield may have tiny cracks, this barrier must have some weak point that we have not yet discovered, or an intermittent node in the flow of energy!”

Remiel, who had been listening in silence, nodded emphatically and echoed in a deep voice: "Raphael is absolutely right! We cannot let fear devour our judgment."

"Everyone, get moving! Spread out and use your mental energy to sense any unusual energy fluctuations!"

"Yes! Everyone, search carefully! Be sure to be thorough!" Michael suppressed his anxiety and immediately adopted the suggestion.

At the command, everyone began to get to work.

They landed on the ridgeline of the Ural Mountains, in small groups, and carefully began to explore the edge of the invisible barrier, patiently using various detection spells and their own senses to examine it inch by inch.

The holy light cautiously touched the cold void barrier, trying to detect any possible flaw in its energy flow.

Although hope may be slim, action itself is the best way to combat despair.
