Chapter 467 Domain Development [4000 words]

Caroline's eyes flashed with a large amount of quantum data as she analyzed the data left behind when she was enveloped by the Heavenly Dao's 'domain'.

After a short while, she roughly figured out the result.

Currently, the Heavenly Dao's domain can only temporarily isolate space and shield perception, but it can also be superimposed with vector manipulation effects later.

This domain may seem to have little offensive power, but once it is formed, it becomes the nemesis of almost all star envoys.

After all, even the strongest attack needs to hit its target.

However, the Heavenly Dao within this domain cannot be 'selected' at all.

With a hint of curiosity, Caroline asked, "Heavenly Dao, what are you still missing to fully master this domain?"

"The ultimate compression and stability of energy, as well as the precision of information conversion."

The Heavenly Dao raised its hand, and an invisible vector force field began to twist and entwine at its fingertips, forming a tiny spatial vortex.

“What I want to do is not simply isolate people physically, but to create an ‘information cage’.”

“When dealing with subspace projections before, I discovered that vector force fields can penetrate the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds. This made me think that perhaps the force field could be decomposed into countless nanometer-scale ‘information probes’.”

The vortex at the tip of the Heavenly Dao finger slowly expanded, and countless finer vector threads spread out from it.

"The core function of these probes is to capture and transform all the vector motion information around them, such as the flow trajectory of airflow, the energy conduction path, and even the fluctuation frequency of spatial folds."

"If this information is forcibly injected into the enemy's perception system within the domain at a ten-thousand-fold intensity, the massive amount of information in that instant will be enough to make them lose all perception and reaction to the outside world."

Tiandao paused for a moment, then continued, "The current difficulties lie in two points: first, how to keep the probe stable while capturing information, and not be disturbed by external energy."

"Secondly, how to precisely control the intensity of information transmission, so as to overload the enemy without wasting too much of our own energy."

"My current domain can only last for about ten breaths, and its coverage is limited. To make it exist stably, some other conditions are needed."

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura emanating from Tiandao suddenly surged, clearly indicating that he had begun to refine his own domain.

He first took a deep breath and evenly spread the vector force field in his body to a range of ten meters around him, forming a semi-transparent force field barrier.

Clearly, this move is intended to establish the basic framework for a field.

Immediately afterwards, Tiandao closed his eyes and activated the Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye at full power, clearly capturing every flow of energy and every fluctuation in space around him.

In his perception, the vector information of the entire valley became tangible, like countless interwoven ribbons of light.

Then, with a thought, Tiandao forcibly dismantled the spreading force field, and countless nano-sized pale golden threads separated from the barrier, which were the 'information probes' he had mentioned.

These probes rapidly shuttle and recombine within the force field framework, like countless industrious worker bees, beginning to capture and transform the surrounding vector information.

Caroline stood aside and clearly saw the space around the Heavenly Dao begin to distort violently. Light refracted, air currents stopped, and even the star energy in the air was forcibly imprisoned. The pale golden threads within the domain became denser and denser, eventually forming a dazzling yet eerie sea of ​​light.

This time, the Heavenly Dao deliberately controlled the information conversion efficiency of the probe, compressing the captured information and then injecting it into a protruding rock not far away.

The next second, the hard rock began to tremble slightly, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

This is not a physical attack, but rather the forced interference with the molecular motion information inside the rock, leading to structural collapse.

Fifteen breaths later, the vector force field slowly dissipated.

Tiandao frowned slightly, a bead of sweat appearing on his forehead, and said in a low voice, "The information conversion efficiency is still not enough, and the stability of the probe is greatly affected by external energy."

"But it's okay, we've already found a direction for optimization in our previous attempt."

"As soon as the enemy steps into the domain, even for only three breaths, the massive amount of vector information will be enough to crash their perception system, forcing them to passively endure the attack, which is sufficient to deal with the situation ahead."

Caroline withdrew the star energy from the data analysis and nodded solemnly: "With you as our trump card, our safety in the meteorite ruins will be greatly improved."

"In addition, news has come from headquarters that three support star energy warships have arrived at Martial Capital, and two veteran Calamity-level powerhouses sent by President Ennet have also arrived at the training base."

"understood."

Tiandao turned and walked towards the training base.

"Tell everyone to get ready, we'll be leaving at the end of the month."

In the days that followed, Tiandao began to take time out to guide others.

He developed targeted tactical coordination plans based on the star characteristics of each team member.

In particular, he had Chen Kong and Isabel repeatedly practice the combination technique of 'Sky Pattern Shield + Absolute Zero Freeze'.

And to familiarize Anqin with how to accurately transmit the perception information of abyssal energy in battle.

Under the personal guidance of the Heavenly Dao, Chen Kong and the others experienced a qualitative leap in their combat power.

The month-long preparation period passed in the blink of an eye.

The following morning, four star-energy warships were ready to set sail in the square of the Tianwu Training Base.

Tiandao led Chenkong, Isabel, Anqin, Caroline, and thirty elite team members to the flagship.

Two veteran Calamity-level powerhouses, clad in silver armor and exuding a calm and collected aura, were already waiting on the deck. Upon seeing Tiandao approach, one of them nodded slightly: "Tiandao Siming, I am Lei Xiao, specializing in lightning-attribute star energy; this is Shi Jian, specializing in earth-attribute star energy. We two will assist you in this operation."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Tiandao responded calmly, without the slightest hint of restraint in his tone.

Lei Xiao and Shi Jian exchanged a glance and sighed inwardly at the composure of the Heavenly Dao.

To remain so calm and composed in the face of two veteran Calamity-level powerhouses demonstrates a composure far beyond that of his peers.

With a roar from the flagship, the four star-powered warships slowly rose into the air and sped toward the meteorite ruins.

In the warp, the warship's energy shields deployed, resisting the erosion of warp storms and turbulence.

Anqin stood at the edge of the deck, her body surrounded by a faint purple aura of dark serpent star energy, and she appeared somewhat nervous.

"It's a three-hour flight to the meteorite ruins."

Caroline walked to Tiandao's side and handed him a real-time subspace star map.

"According to the latest intelligence from headquarters, the stellar energy turbulence around the meteorite ruins is more violent than expected. We need to adjust the energy output of our warships in advance in order to safely enter."

The Heavenly Dao took the star map, and its Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye slightly opened, seeing the energy veins of the outer space of the meteorite ruins through the star map: "No need for that trouble, just leave it to me."

Three hours later, the Star Energy Warship arrived at the periphery of the meteorite ruins.

The scene before them was terrifying. Dark red stellar energy turbulence surged and roared in the void like a raging sea, and countless tiny spatial rifts spread around like a spider web, emanating a heart-palpitating suction force.

Lei Xiao frowned and said, "It's not an easy thing to pass through such a violent stellar energy turbulence silently."

With that, Tiandao turned and left the briefing room. When he reappeared, he was already in the subspace star sea outside.

To the astonishment of Lei Xiao and the others, Tiandao raised his hand and waved it, causing the vector force field around him to suddenly expand, forming a huge invisible barrier that covered the stellar energy turbulence in front of him.

The raging, dark red turbulence crashed into the vector barrier, like a tide hitting a reef, and was instantly diverted and smoothed out.

With a gentle flick of his finger, the Heavenly Dao created a wide and stable channel in front of him, forcibly closing the spatial rifts within the channel.

"Let's go."

The voice of Heaven was transmitted to the warship via star energy communication.

Lei Xiaotian and Shi Jian's pupils constricted as they single-handedly calmed the cataclysmic stellar energy turbulence and closed the spatial rift.

Although they could all see that this was a clever trick, similar to a 'lever principle'.

The process is not important; what matters is the result.

Such methods are something that even many veteran powerhouses at the peak of the Calamity level might not be able to achieve.

The Star Energy Warship successfully entered the area of ​​the meteorite ruins by following the passage opened up by the Heavenly Dao.

The meteorite ruins before me were desolate, with huge craters scattered across the ground, dark red rocks exposed, and dense abyssal energy permeating the air, reducing visibility to less than 100 meters.

Seeing this, An Qin's expression changed slightly: "Something's not right. The concentration of abyssal energy here is far beyond what I expected, and I can sense several strong abyssal energy convergence points ahead, like a man-made formation."

"That's normal; they certainly won't just sit and wait to die."

The Heavenly Dao's gaze sharpened, and its Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye pierced through layers of mist, revealing a scene not far ahead.

Three enormous black, honeycomb-shaped buildings stand in the valley, their surfaces etched with eerie abyssal patterns. Dense black energy emanates from these patterns, converging into a vast black canopy that envelops the entire valley.

Below the sky, dozens of members of the Tianyuan Organization were patrolling, including several third-level star envoys and even two cloaked figures whose auras reached the level of a calamity.

"There is indeed an ambush."

Lei Xiao said in a deep voice.

Surprisingly, Heaven did not pay much attention to this obvious trap.

He turned to the crowd and instructed them: "Chen Kong, use the Void Rune to shield our presence; Isabel, prepare Absolute Zero and freeze the energy core of the Purgatory Mother Nest at any time."

"Caroline, you lead your team to keep watch on the perimeter and prevent reinforcements from the Tianyuan Organization."

"Senior Lei, Senior Shi, please hold back those two Calamity-level cloaked figures."

"clear."

Everyone responded in unison.

Chen Kong immediately activated the Void Rune, and the silver-white runes spread out, completely blocking the presence of everyone.

Isabel's body radiated a chilling aura, and pale blue icy mist condensed in her palm.

Tiandao flew towards the valley first, his figure moving like a ghost among the ruins.

Upon arriving beneath the black sky, Tiandao did not hesitate at all, and the vector force field around him suddenly erupted.

The field unfolds.

Within the domain, countless fine vector rays darted back and forth at high speed, which were the 'information probes' that the Heavenly Dao had mentioned.

The pale golden light collided with the black sky, producing a piercing 'sizzling' sound.

The abyssal energy that originally attempted to invade was instantly repelled and annihilated by the domain.

More importantly, several Tianyuan members who were nearby inadvertently stepped into the edge of the domain. The next second, their bodies stiffened, their eyes became empty, and they let out unconscious roars.

Their sensory systems were overwhelmed by massive amounts of vector information, completely losing their ability to act, as if they had fallen into an endless void, unable to even clearly perceive pain.

"?!"

The Tianyuan members in the valley immediately noticed the abnormality and gathered around the direction of Tiandao.

Two cloaked figures of Cataclysmic level instantly took to the air, emanating a terrifying abyssal pressure: "You've got some skill!"

"Senior Lei, Senior Shi, I'm leaving it to you."

Before Tiandao finished speaking, Lei Xiao and Shi Jian had already rushed out, and a violent lightning current and a thick stone wall of earth attribute instantly formed, attacking the two cloaked figures.

"Hmph, over your own strength!"

A cloaked figure snorted coldly, raised his hand, and conjured a giant black energy claw, which he then grabbed at Lei Xiaotian.

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao flashed and arrived below a Purgatory Mother Nest.

The abyssal patterns on the surface of the mother nest sensed the danger, and their light suddenly surged, shooting a black beam of energy toward the Heavenly Dao.

With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Dao instantly distorted the trajectory of the energy beam, causing it to deviate from its target and crash into the ground, creating a huge crater.

"Is this all you can do?"

With a leap, Tiandao landed atop the Purgatory Nest and pressed his hand against its energy core.

The vector force field operates at full power, forcibly surging into the core to dismantle its energy structure while simultaneously separating a portion of the force field to form a shielding layer, isolating the core's energy fluctuations.

The mother nest emitted a mournful hum, and the abyssal patterns on its surface began to fade and crack rapidly, while the originally rich black energy instantly became weak.

In less than three breaths, the energy core of the first Purgatory Mother Nest was completely destroyed, turning into a pile of black stones with no energy reaction.

After dealing with the first one, the Heavenly Dao did not linger at all, and its figure appeared in front of the second Purgatory Mother Nest as if it had teleported.

Faced with multiple energy beam attacks launched by the mother hive, he did not even dodge. The vector force field around him directly formed an invisible barrier, blocking and reflecting all the attacks back, causing several cracks to appear on the surface of the mother hive.

He then leaped into the air, conjuring a highly refined vector force blade at his fingertips, which pierced directly into the location of the Mother Nest's energy core.

laugh!
A piercing sound of energy annihilation rang out, and the core of the second mother nest was instantly pierced, its energy veins rapidly receding like withered vines.

In just five minutes, two Purgatory Mother Nests were destroyed one after another, and the Tianyuan members in the valley were completely panicked, and their siege formation became scattered.

With an indifferent gaze, the Heavenly Dao flashed and flew towards the last Purgatory Mother Nest.

The process remained completely predictable. No matter how the Mother Nest tried to provoke the abyssal energy to resist, it was as fragile as paper in the face of absolute vector manipulation.

He raised his hand and pressed it against the core. The vector force field advanced layer by layer, first dismantling the energy cycle, then freezing the remaining energy, and finally completely erasing the core's activity.

Just ten minutes later, the third Purgatory Mother Nest also collapsed with a roar, its core turning to ashes.
