Chapter 237 The Hypercube of the Sword!

"The pseudo-god worm has entered the four-dimensional fragment through the warp point!"

"Nuclear bombs and laser beams can't stop him at all; he's completely gone mad."

"Quickly, have the Great Ring control the four-dimensional fragment and fling it away from the nearest warp point!"

"It seems he has figured out the internal structure of the four-dimensional fragment, and he won't fly in the direction of the warp point at all!"

"My God, he charged into one of our four-dimensional defense positions and then self-destructed! What kind of tactic is that?"

"This is bad! He discovered that the structure of the four-dimensional fragment is a long and narrow 'L' shape, and it is currently rushing towards the corner. Once he enters the corner, he will definitely be able to find the large ring at the end of the warp."

"We absolutely cannot allow the False God Worm to return to the Great Ring!"

"Prepare the 'Sun' antimatter bomb. Let it explode within the four-dimensional fragment. Even if we die after the explosion, we must bury it completely here and now!"

Faced with the dinosaur army trapped within the four-dimensional fragment, and the large, pitch-black sphere trapped in the 'magnetic bottle,' Shanqing immediately realized that this was the antimatter bomb—enough to extinguish his last breath—and he became extremely cautious.

The 'magnetic bottle' device must not be damaged. Once the antimatter bomb comes into contact with macroscopic matter and annihilates, its terrifying explosive force could severely injure him, or even cause uncontrollable effects on this four-dimensional fragment.

Once the four-dimensional fragment contracts violently, throwing all the dragons and him out of the four-dimensional fragment, then returning quickly to the space region where the giant ring is located will not be so easy.

Shan Qing was blinded by rage. He had to return to the area where the Great Ring was located and wipe out the entire Devouring Empire. No one could stop him. If the main body dared to persuade him, he would share his memories of being blown up thousands of times by nuclear bombs with the main body.

The hatred between the two sides has reached an irreversible stage.

Having cultivated the Four-Dimensional Fragments for many years, the Devouring Empire naturally possesses more than just ordinary Four-Dimensional Fragment troops. In fact, through the technological heritage of those Four-Dimensional Fragment civilization relics, the Devouring Empire has even developed warships belonging to the Four-Dimensional Space!

—Super Dragon Spaceship!

The Super Dragon Spaceship is a product of dinosaurs directly modifying a four-dimensional fragment of a civilization's ruins; it can be said to have directly borrowed the shell of that civilization's ruins.

Since the evaporation of the four-dimensional fragments is an irreversible increase in entropy, once the four-dimensional fragments have completely evaporated, the super dragon spaceship will disintegrate and be destroyed the instant it falls into the three-dimensional fragments.

For this reason, the Devouring Empire did not invest too much in this Super Dragon Spaceship, which was modified from the ruins of a four-dimensional fragmented civilization. The Super Dragon Spaceship was not large in size; its size in the four-dimensional world was about the same as that of a human star-class warship in the three-dimensional universe. Compared to the enormous size of the Giant Ring, it was simply adorably miniature.

However, this four-dimensional spaceship, which had not received a large investment from the Devouring Empire, has now become the Devouring Empire's last trump card in the four-dimensional fragment battlefield.

The Empire had never imagined fighting its enemies in the four-dimensional fragments, yet such a battle actually took place.

The high-yield antimatter bomb encased in the 'magnetic bottle' showed no signs of detonation. Clearly, the dinosaur forces of the four-dimensional fragments were still pinning their hopes on the Super Dragon spaceship rather than using the antimatter bomb to perish together with the enemy.

This also gave Shanqing some breathing room.

Facing the slowly approaching Super Dragon Spaceship, Shan Qing immediately pointed his fingers into a sword shape, and countless sword lights surged forward. These sharp sword lights shattered the 'shadow' of the Super Dragon Spaceship, but they did not shake the Super Dragon Spaceship's main body.

"This……"

Shanqing then realized something: although he had entered a higher dimension, his attack methods were still those of a three-dimensional space. The reason he was able to kill the dinosaur army in the four-dimensional fragment was because the dinosaur army stationed in the four-dimensional fragment was also a three-dimensional life form.

The strangely shaped, faintly glowing four-dimensional warship he was facing was a genuine four-dimensional creation.

His own attacks were like shadows; no matter how fierce they were, they were only on a surface. The endless sword arrays he released were essentially just swift projections to that four-dimensional space warship.

The projection posed no threat to the warship. On the contrary, all the attacks unleashed by the Super Dragon Spaceship were based on four-dimensional spatial strikes. This attack, which was higher than one spatial dimension, immediately put Shan Qing in the same predicament as when he was bombarded in the three-dimensional universe.

Even if a super ant enters a three-dimensional world, it is still an ant. All the planar attacks it launches in the three-dimensional world still cannot threaten the real three-dimensional creations in the three-dimensional world. On the contrary, the attacks in the three-dimensional world can easily destroy the ant.

Shan Qing even rushed over and self-destructed with spiritual energy once again, but it still failed to shake the four-dimensional spaceship in the slightest.

The Super Dragon Spaceship continuously fired a high-dimensional particle cannon towards Shan Qing. This particle cannon appears as a planar projection in three-dimensional view, but forms an all-encompassing hypersurface in four-dimensional space.

Three-dimensional beings, as projections of four-dimensional space, cannot escape this kind of hyper-curved surface attack. The same applies to Shan Qing. This has nothing to do with speed or strength; it is purely a suppression of spatial dimensions.

Shanqing withstood the blow, his body disintegrating into a jumble of high-dimensional particles. He tried to reassemble himself in this state of death, but it became extremely difficult.

He was unable to control his body, which had been assimilated into four-dimensional particles, and his own consciousness was constantly disintegrating under the impact of this hyperspace.

Just as his consciousness was fading away, a familiar voice suddenly came in.

[Original Body: I've finally found you.]
[The subject: What's going on?]

[Main Body: Wow, this warship is pretty powerful!]

These three sentences instantly pulled Shanqing's consciousness back to three dimensions. Shanqing saw the 'curvature' of the hyper-curved surface attack, and then various insights arose in his mind.

He tentatively unleashed a sword strike. The sword light wasn't particularly sharp, but it still possessed four-dimensional spatial characteristics. This strike successfully inflicted some damage on the Super Dragon Spaceship, albeit very weak. Immediately afterward, Ding Yi's voice urgently echoed through his body.

[Ding Yi: Shanqing, in mathematics, dimension is a concept describing the degrees of freedom in space. Three-dimensional space is defined by three mutually perpendicular axes: length, width, and height (x, y, z axes). Four-dimensional space adds a fourth perpendicular axis (usually represented by the w-axis). Now listen carefully, let me use a cube as an example. Zero dimension is a point; one dimension is a line segment connecting two points (1×2 vertices); two dimensions are a square formed by translating a line segment (2×2 vertices, 4 sides); three dimensions are a cube formed by translating a square (2×2×2 vertices, 12 sides, 6 faces); next is the four-dimensional cube, which is the main structure constituting four-dimensional objects—the four-dimensional hypercube: formed by translating a three-dimensional cube in four-dimensional space, possessing 16 vertices, 32 sides, 24 faces, and 8 cubic "cells"!!!]

Ding Yi's voice roared repeatedly in Shan Qing's heart.

[Ding Yi: Remember this: a four-dimensional hypercube is formed by translating a three-dimensional cube in four-dimensional space. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 faces, and 8 cube "cells"!!! A hypercube isn't anything special; it's just eight cubes stacked together!]
Shan Qing understood. The intense battle he had experienced in the four-dimensional fragment over the past few minutes had greatly improved his understanding of the space within it. The learning ability of high-level cultivators was astonishing, especially with Ding Yi's guidance. Shan Qing cleared away the last bit of mental fog and successfully attained enlightenment.

Faced with this invincible 'Super Dragon Spaceship', Shanqing activated the Azure Cloud Sword Formation, a technique he was skilled in. The Azure Cloud Sword, formed by condensing spiritual energy, quickly took shape in the four-dimensional space, and then split into millions of sword shadows. These sword shadows were not projections, but rather each one was a real sword of spiritual energy occupying a different space. Then the sword formation gathered together, forming a terrifying sword hypercube!

The sword hypercube rotates continuously in the four-dimensional fragmented space, and its three-dimensional projection exhibits complex deformations—the sword face and edges of the sword hypercube twist and overlap strangely. There is even a visual effect of "inside and outside flipping," which is similar to the Klein bottle (the projection of a four-dimensional topological structure into three-dimensional space).

Then, facing this four-dimensional spaceship, the sword hypercube unleashed endless destructive sword light, and with an unparalleled force that transcended space, it slammed into the super dragon spaceship!
boom!
The Super Dragon Spaceship was cut into countless three-dimensional 'planes'. This four-dimensional spaceship was forced to present various distorted projections, and finally disintegrated like shattered glass, turning into pure three-dimensional fragments, which were then completely pulverized by the Sword Hypercube!
In the instant the Super Dragon spaceship collapsed, the desperate four-dimensional fragmented dinosaur army released the magnetic bottle encasing the "Sun," allowing the antimatter bomb to collide with the three-dimensional macroscopic matter in space.

An unprecedented super annihilation has occurred.

However, the dinosaurs overlooked one point: the main reason why the antimatter weapon was able to annihilate Shan Qing's body was that the antimatter weapon was directly placed inside Shan Qing's body.

The more powerful 'Sun' antimatter bomb explodes externally, making the difference vastly different.

But this annihilation of matter and antimatter eventually affected Shanqing, who had no time to dodge.

In this terrifying annihilation explosion of matter and antimatter existing in the four-dimensional fragments, Shanqing's remaining 10% of mass was once again annihilated by 90%, leaving only the last 1%.

The violent explosion and energy changes also caused the 'L'-shaped four-dimensional fragment to contract rapidly.

With the determination to drag the Devouring Empire down with him even if it meant death, Shan Qing charged wildly to the corner of this four-dimensional fragment and leaped out before the warp point disappeared.

In an instant, the world spun around, and Shan Qing, covered in blood, reappeared on the 'Anvil' Plain.
