Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 3011 The Entrance of Mithril

As more and more debris was discovered, the reason for the failure of the two supreme fortresses was also inferred. Although the meteoroid torrents around ‘Ancient Thirteenth’ were ferocious and the cosmic dust was full of fatal radiation, it was nothing for the impregnable Supreme Battle Fortress.

Perhaps, this was also the reason why Lu Qingchen was so confident and dared to rush into the place without having too many astronomical parameters scanning and calculating

Unfortunately, his luck was too bad.

Judging from the mass of the meteoroids that hit the fortress and the terrible wounds that tore it apart, it was very likely that Lu Qingchen’s fleet had been hit by the collision of ‘Ancient Thirteen’ and another satellite. The collision of the two satellites resulted in the collapse of the smaller satellites whose density and mass were relatively lower. They were shattered into billions of meteoroids with extremely high initial velocity and momentum. Even ‘Ancient Thirteen’ had lost one tenth of its mass. The incalculable materials were burning furiously and turning into streams of high-energy particles. Together with the terrifying radiation and radiation, they smashed at Lu Qingchen’s fleet. No matter how solid the spiritual shield and the composite plate armor of the Supreme Battle Fortress were, they could not resist such a furious and ferocious torrent.

It was like two giant swirls colliding, and the five supreme fortresses were merely five dry leaves nearby. How could they not be blown into pieces?

n

The spiritual shield was destroyed. The iron shell was shattered. Ammunition and fuel exploded one after another, resulting in a horrifying scene.

“Is this… Lu Qingchen’s ending?”

Li Yao secretly sighed, but he did not let his guard down. “No. With Lu Qingchen’s cautiousness, he wouldn’t have gathered all the five supreme fortresses even if he had risked entering the unfamiliar stone belts.

“There are only two remnants of the Supreme Battle Fortress here. Where are the other three Supreme Battle Fortresses? Have they already entered the entrance of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor, or are they hiding not far away and preparing to ambush us with the help of the intense spiritual interference and radiation turbulence?

“The interference is so intense, and the radiation is so deadly. Even I don’t dare to be exposed to the vacuum for too long without any protection. If Lu Qingchen were to fight in this place, both sides would suffer heavy losses. Is he… that crazy?”

Li Yao was deep in thought.

For some reason, there was a prick deep inside his brain, as if something was about to happen.

Under the command of Li Linghai, part of the warriors and magical equipment experts boarded the small carriers and prepared to enter the completely paralyzed fortress to collect the files of the crystal processors inside. It would be best if they could find valuable data such as Lu Qingchen’s logbook.

Other than that, all the starships had released a lot of self-driving probe magical equipment. Crystal and crystal chips were carved into them, and their glittering ‘eyes’ pierced deep into the edge of the gravitational field of ‘Ancient Thirteen’ in search of the mysterious “high-mass unknown celestial bodies’.

Li Yao did not participate in the two tasks. He gazed at the furious sea of stars outside and racked his brain.

“What is Lu Qingchen playing at? He should know that his secret won’t be kept for long. After his fleet sets off, our main force will certainly catch up to him. Besides, we have combined most of the forces of the federation, the imperium, and the Holy Alliance. His five supreme fortresses are definitely no match for us!

Li Yao mumbled to himself, “So, so, if I were Lu Qingchen… How would I stop the pursuers… If I were… I am…”

A lot of stars were gathering in his eyes. He was about to draw a fatal trap.

“Found it!”

Right then, cheers echoed inside the communication channel. “We’ve found the entrance to the tomb of the Supreme Emperor!” “What?”

Colorful brilliance burst out of Li Yao’s pupils, interrupting his meditation.

Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!

Dozens of 3D light beams were turned on again and connected to the remote video conference of hundreds of experts. Despite the shrewdness of Empress Dowager Li Linghai, she could not help but be overjoyed and show the experts the picture data that the probe crystal cameras had just sent back.

The first picture was shot with visible light waves. At first glance, there was nothing in the dark, deep vacuum except for catkins and dust belts that were raging like clouds. Only after he poured all his spiritual energy into his eyes could he distinguish an almost transparent dot in the splendid dust under the guidance of Li Linghai.

As the probe crystal camera flew closer and closer, the dot gradually enlarged and became clearer and purer.

All the experts, including Li Yao, had a weird feeling

They had never seen such a weird celestial body. It did not look like a natural planet at all, but a pearl, no, a hundred times purer and more transparent than a pearl, a frozen tear, a clear glass, and an amber that was still immaculate after billions of years of erosion. It was-it was something that should not have appeared in the universe!

Scanning the tear with the special crystal cameras that could detect invisible light and all kinds of radiation, the tear was even more splendid. Millions of colors were mixed together and wriggling slowly as if they were alive without releasing any energy to the outside world.

“Mirror.”

Such a phrase popped up in the minds of many experts.

Yes. The entrance of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor was like a mirror that had been molded into an absolutely precise ball. It reflected all the radiation and brilliance nearby coldly and even reflected the entire universe.

Under Li Linghai’s remote control, a crystal eye slowly flew towards the entrance of the tomb. The closer it flew, the more anxious the experts and experts became.

“It’s impossible!”

The data sent back by the crystal camera shocked all the astronomers and the spiritual energy scientists. They felt that the solid building that they had been building all their life was collapsing.

Right now, the crystal camera was less than five hundred kilometers away from the entrance of the tomb. At such a close distance, it could calculate that the mirror-like ball was no more than ten kilometers in diameter.

However, it boasted a mass equal to that of ‘Ancient Thirteen’, a giant satellite more than five thousand kilometers in diameter. In fact, its mass was even higher than that of ‘Ancient Thirteen’, because it was seizing a lot of materials from the gravitational ring of ‘Ancient Thirteen’ and sending them to its surroundings in the form of a ‘material bridge’, forming dreamy gauze and ripples.

It was less than one ten-thousandth the size of ‘Ancient Thirteen’, but its mass was much higher. Theoretically speaking, its density should be tens of thousands of times higher than that of ‘Ancient Thirteen’.

But it was impossible, because Li Linghai had clearly entered the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor before. The gravity inside was quite normal. It was safe to say that it was maintained in the most comfortable range for human beings. Although some unknown elements had been collected, the density was not very high.

What was even weirder was that any celestial body in the universe, even those that were not real celestial bodies such as ‘wormholes’, would release radiation continuously as long as they existed in the universe for one second. But at such a short distance, the crystal camera failed to detect any radiation waves.

How was that possible? Of course, the black hole would not release any radiation or information to the outside world, either. But if so, the black hole would not be discovered by most detection methods, nor would it be ‘seen’ by human beings. The environment inside the black hole was not suitable for anybody, either. Before human beings entered the center of the black hole, they would be torn into long noodles by the tremendous tearing force.

The Mausoleum of Emperors was definitely not a black hole. It was an existence that was even more mysterious and inexplicable than a black hole. At the very least, none of the laws of the Pangu Universe could analyze it.

The crystal camera was only a hundred kilometers away from the entrance of the tomb.

At this distance, it was no longer a mirror but a gate that faced the entire Pangu Universe to an unknown world.

80 kilometers, 60 kilometers, 40 kilometers, 20 kilometers, 10 kilometers, 5 kilometers, the last 10 meters, zero distance, the probe crystal camera made contact with the entrance of the tomb!

For a moment, the entrance of the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor seemed to be alive. Dozens of threads that seemed to be made of mercury suddenly rose up from the transparent surface and covered the probe crystal camera like a blossoming flower. The ‘mercury’ quickly proliferated and spread out. Very soon, the probe crystal camera was entirely covered. Then, like two drops of water that had touched each other, they completely melted.

Most of the information transmission of the crystal camera had been cut off. It seemed to have sunk into a mysterious ocean. Occasionally, some information would be sent back, but it was all nonsense that nobody could understand.

“Is it-alive?”

Although it was very unprofessional, a relatively young astronomer, on behalf of everyone, exclaimed, “It is swallowing!’

“It is not alive, but the entrance to the tomb of the Supreme Emperor is indeed highly self-organized and purposeful. You may consider it to be a piece of stellar magical equipment refined by an ancient civilization that is always under the control of… the other half of the Fuxi.

Li Linghai said, “There’s one more thing that I want you to pay attention to. It is not a real celestial body but an ‘entrance’. I’ve seen things that are more than ten kilometers long inside the tomb of the Supreme Emperor, such as the most brilliant fortresses and super carriers of the Star Ocean Imperium. If those things are not dismantled and transported inside, it means that the entrance can be expanded and expanded, and they can swallow things that are dozens of times larger than themselves.

“Have you tried to analyze the materials for the ‘entrance’?”

One of the materials scientists asked, “At least in the Pangu Universe, we have never found such marvelous materials. They are like… mercury with life.”

“I tried. Unfortunately, I failed.” Li Linghai said, “I’ve utilized the most cutting-edge equipment of the Star Ocean Imperium and employed dozens of conventional metal analysis methods, but I’ve never been able to collect even a speck of dust from the entrance of the tomb of the Supreme Emperor. I call the mercury-like material ‘mithril’. It seems to be alive. When it is soft, it can be ten thousand times softer than water. When it is hard, it can be ten thousand times harder than steel. In the previous explorations, we had limited time and could not make any further attempts. I hope that our operation will go well and all the secrets will be revealed.”
