She could clearly sense that the essence of this sea area was an abnormal zone formed by the accumulation and adhesion of countless broken small spatial dimensions.

Each fragment represented a vanished miniature world, where their law fragments collided, annihilated, and reorganized here, forming this bizarre sight.

“Where are the coordinates of the relic?” Leng Ningxue asked.

“‘the final chapter’ only gave the central area of the corridor.” Bai Cheng tapped the star map with her fingertip, a silver line pointing to the deepest part of the fragment vortex, “We need to find the specific location ourselves.”

Just then, the train suddenly jolted violently!

On the broadside, a fragment reflecting a sea of molten lava shattered without warning. The violent fire laws surged out like a flood, instantly igniting the protection runes on the train's outer layer!

“Port side under law erosion!” Zi Yuan’s figure blurred as she reached the hatch. Her long saber unsheathed, and a purple lightning saber arc slashed out, forcibly dispersing the surging fire laws.

But more spatial fragments began to tremble and crack.

Frozen fragments spewed out extreme cold frost, time-reversal fragments drained the flow of time around the train, and soul-shaking roars echoed from fragments containing phantoms of giant beasts...

“They are rejecting us!” Lu Duo expanded a Life Barrier. Emerald vines grew frantically from the gaps in the deck, wrapping around the train's hull in an attempt to stabilize the vessel.

“Miss, the law fragments in this sea area have a faint collective consciousness; they see us as intruders!”

Spatial pathways flowed rapidly within Bai Cheng's silver eyes.

She saw that although these fragments were broken, they formed a fragile symbiotic balance with each other through residual laws.

An external complete spatial structure, like their train, would break this balance and trigger an instinctive counterattack.

“Retract the protection runes and lower energy fluctuations,” Bai Cheng decided immediately. “Switch to navigating with a pure physical structure to pass through with minimal presence.”

Qingniao was stunned: “Remove the protection? What if...”

“Listen to Bai Cheng.” Leng Ningxue had already withdrawn her ice energy, and the rune light on the train's hull quickly dimmed.

Sure enough, when the train withdrew all active energy protection and merely glided through the gaps between fragments by inertia, those rioting law fragments gradually calmed down.

Although individual fragments would still burst with aftershocks due to proximity, they no longer formed clustered attacks.

“Now we can only drift slowly.” Yu Nian muttered softly while looking at the eerie scenes passing by the window, “How long will we have to drift for...”

“No rush.” Bai Cheng's gaze swept over the fragments. “We can take this opportunity to observe the residual information within these broken dimensions.

The Abyssal Pupil has devoured countless civilizations; perhaps some of these fragments will leave behind related clues.”

Hearing this, everyone observed intently.

Qingniao stared at a fragment reflecting a clockwork city, finding all the mechanical creations stationary, with unknown spiral-shaped characters carved onto the gears;

Zi Yuan felt a resonance with a war fragment filled with standing sabers and swords and fields of corpses; the residual saber intent actually had a subtle resonance with the Purple Lightning Saber Dao she practiced;

Leng Ningxue’s gaze fell on a fragment of a frozen star, where the level of the extreme cold law far exceeded her current realm;

Lu Duo sensed the remains of a withered World Tree; although the aura of life was severed, a stubborn obsession with life still struggled deep within the roots;

Yu Nian was particularly interested in a jungle fragment entwined with vines and blooming with strange flowers; the structure of some plants was similar to the mutated vines she cultivated...

Bai Cheng's silver eyes swept across all the fragments. The Filament of Faith flowed slowly within her body, allowing her to perceive the 'last wishes' and 'obsessions' within these broken dimensions exceptionally clearly.

She saw a civilization, before its destruction, carve its final knowledge into the core of a star;

She saw a race, to resist being devoured, collectively forge their souls into an eternal shield;

She saw a powerhouse, before falling, seal their lifelong understanding of laws into a relic, hoping a successor would inherit their will...

These broken obsessions, like the faith of desert survivors, though gone, still left a faint echo.

And one of those echoes resonated vaguely with the aura of the relic described in ‘the final chapter’.

“Found it.” Bai Cheng suddenly spoke, her silver eyes locking onto an inconspicuous fragment on the right.

That fragment was very small, only about ten feet in size, and the scene reflected on its surface was also extremely simple.

A simple stone chamber, with a bronze oil lamp placed on a low table in the center.

The lamp was ancient in style, its wick extinguished, and its body was carved with dense ancient runes that seemed to move on their own.

“That is...” Leng Ningxue's icy eyes narrowed slightly.

“Relic of the Portal · guiding lamp.” Bai Cheng softly recited the record from ‘the final chapter’.

“Using the obsession of a lost civilization's guidance as fuel, it can briefly illuminate the path into the void behind the door, amplifying the Power of the Portal by three times for ten breaths.”

Qingniao's eyes lit up: “Amplified by three times? Then when Miss uses the Annihilation Technique, the success rate will increase significantly!”

“But obtaining it probably won't be easy.” Zi Yuan raised her long saber slightly and pointed at the fragment. “Look around the stone chamber.”

Everyone looked closely and discovered nine slowly rotating dark gold runes suspended in the void around the stone chamber.

The style of those runes was seventy percent similar to the sealing runes on the chains binding the Abyssal Pupil in the Abyssal Trench!

“The Abyssal Pupil... once touched this relic?” Lu Duo's face turned ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) slightly pale.

“Not touched.” Bai Cheng's silver eyes grew cold. “It tried to devour it but failed.”

“These sealing runes are counter-measures left by the relic's original owner, trapping a wisp of the Abyssal Pupil's consciousness fragment around the stone chamber.”

As if to confirm her words, those nine dark gold runes suddenly lit up simultaneously!

The void around the stone chamber fragment began to warp, and a blurred phantom, a mix of countless civilizations' grudges, slowly emerged.

The phantom had no fixed form, sometimes resembling a roaring beast, sometimes a weeping humanoid, and sometimes a spreading shadow...

But at its core, a silver-gray light like a nebula flickered slightly—it was precisely the aura of the Abyssal Pupil!

“Intruder... it's you again...” The phantom emitted overlapping, malicious whispers, “Coveting what I have not obtained... you shall be executed!”

The nine sealing runes exploded, turning into nine dark gold chains carrying pure 'imprisonment' and annihilation laws, strangling toward the train!

This attack was far more terrifying than the previous riots of law fragments.

Wherever the chains passed, spatial fragments disintegrated one after another, and even the void itself was wailing!

“Get back!” Bai Cheng’s silver eyes brightened suddenly, her space-time power erupting fully as she expanded a refraction barrier in front of the train.

But the dark gold chains actually ignored the spatial refraction, piercing directly through the barrier and heading straight for the space between Bai Cheng's brows!
