Chapter 366: Barrier Over the Oceanic Trench

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the hotel lobby, of the three foreigners who had lost their blue hair and white eyes that indicated their mutant status, only one had still a high level of martial arts cultivation. The other two were only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

The three of them were lying on the ground with ashen faces. After their ice crystal-like hair had been removed, they looked like those who had fallen seriously ill and became extremely weak.

Wang Ronghui had arranged for the military’s martial arts experts to capture the three of them. It was not a problem that one of them died, and the remaining three would be subjected to the top interrogation techniques in the Daxia Kingdom.

After dealing with the aftermath, all the unrelated people in the hotel lobby were cleared out. Wang Ronghui asked, “What about the 10 transport planes flying straight to the Daxia Kingdom from the European Union?”

Chen Yiming pondered for a moment before replying, “Since those mysterious existences want to hide in the dark and not be exposed, even if they attack the transport plane, they will probably use the powerful creatures from the bottom of the sea to do so.

Let’s go to the seaside to check out the situation first. We can also ask the people in charge of the New Era experimental ship to come with us. It’s very likely that the attack will be launched from the deepest oceanic trench on the blue planet.”

“The deepest oceanic trench on the blue planet.” Wang Ronghui’s expression was solemn.

Unlike Chen Yiming, who had only heard a little about it and didn’t know the details, Wang Ronghui knew that there was a hidden danger in that location. It wasn’t just that reforging the extraordinary weapons didn’t work well.

However, the space plan was the top priority for the Daxia Kingdom. The oceanic trench was quite far from the Daxia Kingdom, so if anything happened, the Daxia Kingdom would not be the first to be affected.

Therefore, the incident with the New Era experimental ship was sealed away and did not cause much of a commotion.

…

Cloud Port City, Bay nuclear power plant.

The nuclear power plant that had previously been completely demolished was now operating normally again.

There were soldiers patrolling the area 24 hours a day. From time to time, speedboats could be seen patrolling the surface of the sea. They were using professional equipment to gather information to prevent powerful creatures from swimming near the nuclear power plant.

“This involves the cooperation of two of the largest countries. Time is tight, so I’ll let her off first.”

Chen Yiming arrived at the beach and turned to look at the brightly lit Cloud Port City. Memories of the past surged into his mind.

He was not the type that liked new things and easily got bored of the old ones. It was not that he had gotten a new lover, and had gradually forgotten about the old one. Instead, as he grew stronger, the more his responsibilities increased. How could he find time to spend on a woman?

“Besides, there are countless gazes watching her. She definitely won’t dare to cheat on me. There’s no hurry. Let’s deal with the matter in front of us first.” Chen Yiming suppressed his urge to treat her like his wife.

It would take some time for the other people to reach the nuclear power plant from the Bohai Bay Shipbuilding Base. Chen Yiming and Wang Ronghui chatted casually as they waited.

“What happened to the problem with the space-travel passage in Western Australia?”

Seeing the reactivated nuclear power plant, Chen Yiming recalled the otherworld creatures that mutated due to the nuclear radiation from back then. Because he had been busy setting up the base in the otherworld after that, he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Wang Ronghui sighed and said, “Most of the people who had entered the space-travel passage to provide support were killed or injured and were forced to retreat. In the end, the matter was left unsettled.”

“It seems like we’re rather lucky.” Chen Yiming nodded.

“Yes, other than the stone golem that ran to Japan and fell into a deep sleep, the giant snake that had transformed into a dragon due to the nuclear radiation was also found and killed by the martial master from the European Union.

After that, humans no longer entered and exited the space-travel passage. The stone golems seemed to form the majority of otherworld creatures in the area. The two sides have been coexisting peacefully since then,” Wang Ronghui explained.

Time quickly passed by.

After a long time, a fighter jet streaked across the night sky. A figure jumped out of it and landed on the sandy beach around the nuclear power plant.

The person who had arrived was the captain of the New Era experimental ship, Lieutenant General Lin Hai.

He had a burly figure, a square face, sharp eyes, and a resolute aura. He was nearly two meters tall and walked with a majestic air.

“Hello, I’m Chen Yiming.”

“Hello, I’m Lin Hai.”

After shaking hands and exchanging their names, they went straight to the point.

“The detectors can’t receive a return signal? Do they suspect that the bottom of the trench is being blocked off by some special method?”

After hearing Lin Hai’s words, Chen Yiming understood a small part of the situation. Other than the fact that there were sea creatures that weren’t afraid of the reforged extraordinary weapons, they had also made another discovery on the New Era experimental ship.

Due to the fact that there was too little information available, it was hard to say who had made such an arrangement in the deepest oceanic trench on the blue planet.

The huge eye was his first suspect. The other party was good at spiritual control, so it was very easy for him to control the powerful creatures at the bottom of the sea.

It was also possible that it was the owner of the ice crystal-like hair, which had suddenly sent people out from the Ice Valley to openly declare that they were against the cooperation between the Daxia Kingdom and the European Union.

It was even possible that it was a creature from the black tide, because the spiritual figure had previously discovered that something strange was happening in the sea in the otherworld.

Back then, since the shadow monster could create the shadow of a huge mouth on the moon, it was not impossible for it to have left another trump card in the deepest oceanic trench on the blue planet.

Wang Ronghui called the air force command from time to time to find out about the situation with the transport planes.

“The command center couldn’t contact them ever since the transport planes entered the sky above the Pacific Ocean. Perhaps some hidden signal that had been set up on the planes in advance had been triggered, so it can’t send out or receive our communication.

They’ve already arranged for a fighter jet to explore the area, but there’s no concrete news yet.”

After putting down the phone, Wang Ronghui passed on the news. The situation was worse than expected. The command center could no longer contact the transport planes.

“The situation that the New Era experimental ship encountered was that it could not receive a return signal after sending out a probe. Now, the transport plane seems to have been blocked off while it was flying at high altitude.”

Chen Yiming had a feeling that there was something amiss, but he couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason.

It had to be known that the president of the European Union had just flown straight to the Daxia Kingdom on the same route. Nothing had happened then.

“Or did someone deliberately activate some special barrier at the bottom of the oceanic trench?”

Chen Yiming thought about it and realized that other than the fact that the plane had been tampered with, another possibility was that a large barrier had been set up in the sea. However, the barrier also reached the high altitude that the planes were flying at.

Since the transport planes could not send out any signals, it would be difficult to even determine the direction it was going in. What was the point of sending the four people from the Ice Valley over?

Every second that passed increased the chances of something happening to the transport planes. The fighter jets that were investigating the situation had already set off, so they could only wait patiently.

Wang Ronghui and Lin Hai paced back and forth anxiously, but there was nothing they could do.

At the moment, the sea was not something that could be easily stepped into. The deepest oceanic trench on the blue planet was an even more forbidden area, since they had previously tested the reforged extraordinary weapons there, but with no effect.

However, there was someone more suitable to check the situation than the fighter jets. This person was right beside them, but Wang Ronghui and Lin Hai were thinking from the perspective of the Daxia Kingdom.

It would be best if Chen Yiming didn’t leave the territory of the Daxia Kingdom, especially if he was going to enter an unknown area. It would be troublesome if he fell into the enemy’s trap.

Time passed by while they waited anxiously.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Hearing the phone ring, Wang Ronghui quickly picked up the call.

“We lost contact with the fighter jet investigating the situation about 1,000 kilometers away from the oceanic trench. The pilot of the fighter jet turned around and did not dare to go any closer.”

Chen Yiming heard the news from the command center.

As he had expected, something must have happened in the oceanic trench, causing a large area of the sea to be sealed off.

He just did not know what the range of the barrier was.

However, before Chen Yiming could make a decision, Wang Ronghui persuaded him, “Let’s contact the European Union first. The remaining people from the Ice Valley are being interrogated. Don’t take the risk.”

Chen Yiming communicated with the spiritual figure and found out that he had already exited the space-travel passage. He could take care of the Daxia Kingdom for him.

He decided to go there together with the spiritual figure. The huge eye thought that the spiritual figure was already dead, so no matter who was secretly plotting something, he could just pretend to enter the barrier.

At that time, if the other party appeared, the spiritual figure would be in charge of dealing with him. He could act like he was just like the fighter jet that went there to investigate and decide when to leave the area based on the real-time communication with the spiritual figure.

Furthermore, at a closer distance, he could also investigate the situation in the depths of the oceanic trench and complete two tasks at once, just like killing two birds with one stone.

After coming up with a plan, Chen Yiming said, “I have the special ability of creating an image of a clone of myself. When I reach the barrier, I’ll arrange for one of my clones to enter. With my speed, wouldn’t it be just a short time before I return?”

This was a technique that the female spirit had once mentioned. By using the mysterious symbols as a medium, one could temporarily fuse with the power of nature. Then, one could choose from a spot within the range of their spiritual power and achieve an effect similar to teleportation.

Now that he had relied on his powerful Giant Talent to try and master it, it was not a bluff to say that he could rush there and back in just minutes.

Therefore, he felt that he had to enter the range of the barrier even more. Otherwise, since those hidden existences were unwilling to reveal their location, they would definitely not reveal themselves unless he disappeared.

“This…”

Lin Hai and Wang Ronghui were dumbfounded.

Cloning ability? Haven’t you always been fighting as a giant?

Logically speaking, this kind of technique-based ability should not have appeared on a giant. No matter how one looked at it, it felt strange.

It had to be known that in the special forces, the giant bloodline warriors were all biased towards brute force. They liked to rely on their strong bodies and fight with their fists.

Seeing this, Chen Yiming said, “For some reason, when those four people from the Ice Valley said that they wanted to interfere in the space plan, I had a bad feeling. It might be related to the black tide.”

At this point, he stopped talking and left it to Wang Ronghui to discuss it with the higher ups.

The main reason was that it involved too many things. There was information from the otherworld obtained by the spiritual figure, and bits and pieces he learned from the female spirit.

There were unexpected discoveries from the conflict with the huge eye on Mount Everest, and the people from the Ice Valley, and the expanding barrier over the oceanic trench, and so on…

As soon as he finished speaking, “Is the black tide about to descend?” Lin Hai and Wang Ronghui exclaimed in unison.

It was as if a lightning bolt had struck them from the blue, causing them to be unable to think straight. When they heard this news, they felt dizzy and their ears buzzed.

“How can I know the exact time? It’s just a feeling.”

Chen Yiming shrugged helplessly, even though he wanted to say that there was a high chance that this was the case.

As for the fact that the human spaceships could not be built in time, it was not unexpected. At the moment, everything still fell within the plans of the black tide creatures. It had to be known that the negative emotions of the otherworld were currently being harvested.

As for how to make the humans on the blue planet more afraid of the black tide and create more negative emotions, it was undoubtedly better to give them hope first before crushing it.

Chen Yiming had a feeling that at the beginning of the black tide’s arrival, they would at most interfere with the space plan but not deliberately destroy the human spaceships.
