Capítulo 731: Chapter 258: The End of the War (Part 1)

Dream Turbulence is similar to the Dream Realm Mysterious Domain, both belonging to common astral disasters in the Deep Dream World, but unlike the Mysterious Domain which is a fusion of remnants from countless collapsed dream worlds, trapping individuals in an almost endless space of loss, Dream Turbulence is a distortion on the temporal plane.

From the outside, Dream Turbulence looks like a river sparkling with starlight, yet it flows with chaotic fragments of dreams.

Beings caught within have to face the ancient dreams that once existed in the history of the Deep Dream World’s past, washing over them.

One moment you might be swimming in the dreams of an oceanic behemoth from the Ancient Dark Era, surrounded by dark, cold seawater, and the next you’re in the sweltering heat of a desert central, millions of years after humans have vanished, viewing the pale sun from the perspective of a lizard-like creature.

At the same time, the flow of time in these Dream Turbulences is not constant; it speeds up and slows down unpredictably, and might even approach a standstill. Of course, all this is relative to the external timeline.

For a Ninth Rank, since they usually leave avatars, life anchors, reincarnation rituals, and other fallbacks closely tied to their existence in the outside world, none of the situations are fatal – just extremely inconvenient to escape from.

However, the Dream Turbulence that the Floating City fell into was actually conjured actively by Anvis using the Eighth Rank Secret Technique “Dream Turbulence Summoning,” recorded in the information of the Dream Inheritance Land, which has subtle differences from naturally occurring Dream Turbulences.

——The speed of time within this turbulence can, to a certain extent, be influenced by Anvis.

When the “Golden Wings” executed a Meteor Charge into the outer layer of the turbulence, in the perception of many Ninth Ranks in the outside world, the figure of the Dragon Knight, radiating a powerful Magical Power presence akin to the sun, suddenly became blurred.

Although the attack target was constantly locked onto the Floating City deep within the Dream Turbulence due to the guidance of Rule Power, the sudden slow in the flow of time made it impossible to close the distance for a time.

Even Ninth Rank might have touched upon the Rule, but they still cannot break free from the influence of time flow.

In this delay, many subsequent attacks of Rule Power also fell into this Dream Turbulence.

A plethora of different Rule Powers diffused, destabilizing the overall structure of the turbulence as if drops of colored ink had been dripped into clear water.

And the first to be affected by this disturbance was the “Golden Wings,” which was semi-restrained by the delayed time stream.

“Hmph…”

The oscillation of Rule Power in the environment freed him from the slow zone of time, but also caused him to grunt with light injury.

To a Ninth Rank, being impacted by the shock of Rule Power feels like severe motion sickness to a normal person, very uncomfortable.

Those guys are definitely doing it on purpose.

With a frosty glance backward, the “Golden Wings” tightened his grip on the Riding Spear and increased the output of Rule Power, striving to break through each dream fragment with all his might.

His choice to charge alone was likewise a calculated decision.

There is only one Floating City, and although they seem to be in cooperation at present, there is no doubt that in the end, a battle will erupt over the possession of the Floating City’s Core.

With the assistance of his Giant Dragon companion, he is the strongest Ninth Rank individual present. If he hangs back, not only does it easily lead to others targeting him together, but he also can’t take advantage of his strength in breaking through.

But if he charges to the forefront, the Ninth Ranks behind, in their attempt to probe, will inevitably aid his assault. And as long as he can make it into the Floating City, he may have the chance to seize the Eternal Core before anyone else.

“Let’s give it our all as well! Golden Wings!”

“Roar! No problem!”

The knight in dark gold armor patted the Golden Giant Dragon below him and signaled to his mount companion.

The next moment, the rich golden Domain unfolded from both the knight and the dragon simultaneously, and then overlaid in a unique way, forming a dark gold Domain sphere that completely enveloped the figure of the Dragon Knight.

That was precisely the core Secret Technique of the Aslade Family’s Dragon Knight profession, Fusion Domain. It could, in a brief period, unleash a Rule Domain control close to the Ninth Rank Limit, directly ignoring general Rule Power attacks.

In battles between Ninth Ranks, what was compared was each side’s control over Rule Power.

If the complete world Rule is one hundred percent, then a newly advanced Ninth Rank could at most control and utilize ten percent.

An established Ninth Rank could control over thirty percent of the Rules, while the Ninth Rank Limit is higher than sixty-five percent and lower than seventy percent. Beyond that is the Domain of those who have broken limits.

The higher one’s control over Rule Power, the more capable they are of neutralizing the opponent’s Rule Power while suppressing the opponent with the excess.

With the presence of Fusion Domain, combined with the Ninth Rank’s Rule Battle Skills “Meteor Charge,” this attack’s power has reached the standards of the Ninth Rank Limit, even capable of directly shattering a regular Ninth Order Domain!

Clutching his Riding Spear tightly, the will of “Golden Wings” became highly focused, and the Giant Dragon beneath him also burst forth with increased charging speed, as if in perfect synergy.

At this moment, the structure of the attacked Dream Turbulence had become unstable and could no longer impede him. Hence, the Floating City area targeted for attack would be even more affected.

In other words, the Floating City might sustain some damage, but it could also rid itself of the turbulent control and continue to escape more quickly.

He would never allow such a thing to happen!

With “Golden Wings” going all out, the dark gold comet, emanating strong Rule Power fluctuations, quickly penetrated layer upon layer of turbulence, reaching the Floating City.

Then, amidst a series of urgent alarms, it forcefully pierced through the protective Magic Power membrane and intruded into the depths of the Floating City’s structure, with a large amount of broken debris scattering from the punctured hole in all directions.

Struck by this heavy blow, the surface radiance of the Floating City flickered unstably, as if a critical area had been destroyed, and it came to a sudden halt.

At this moment, the turbulence surrounding the Floating City also seemed unable to maintain its structure due to the interference of multiple Ninth Rank attacks and slowly dissipated.

Observing the Floating City quietly floating among several Dream World bubbles, with a large hole opened on its surface and seemingly having lost its ability to resist, the assembly of Ninth Ranks exchanged glances and subtly scattered.

The next moment, two Ninth Ranks with concealed identities, and Marquis Draka’s figure suddenly vanished, directly entering the Floating City through the large hole opened by “Golden Wings” charge.

However, in Pomiya’s analysis, the most threatening Ninth Rank with a concealed identity, and two Empire Family Tributes did not enter the Floating City.

After exchanging glances, they took out Mythic Artifacts of break-limit capability and began the unsealing process. It seemed they were prepared to disregard those Ninth Ranks that had entered and directly destroy the Floating City from the outside.

Watching all this from afar, Anvis in the Floating City control room furrowed his brow and finally gave the order for the Four Nightmares to act.

Following Anvis’s command, the movements of the three Ninth Ranks outside the Floating City suddenly halted, and then, with wary eyes, they looked towards a nearby massive bubble-like Dream World crystal wall.

There, the colossal blue-gold Themis Statue emerged from within the crystal wall and charged towards the two Ninth Ranks of the Royal Family. Its Annihilation Main Cannon in the chest had finished charging and seemed about to launch an attack.
