199: Chapter 199 The Final Breakthrough of Time and Space: Resonance of the Five Realms and Clues to the Soul-Devouring Mother Nest
Gathering of the Five Realms: Space-Time Equipment Upgrade and Alliance Expansion
When the Alliance Mothership parked next to the 'Space-Time Anchor' in the outer galaxies, Leon was crouching on the deck, using Gilded Space-Time Energy to repair the cracked anchor—the pale golden light at his fingertips touched the anchor, and the originally distorted metal slowly returned to its original shape, leaving Lu Yu gasping in amazement.
'Your martial art is too bizarre! You can actually repair metal and control space-time?' Lu Yu leaned over, wanting to poke the golden light with a wrench, but Leon slapped his hand away: 'Don't touch it! The Space-Time Energy isn't calibrated. If you touch it, it could twist your hand into a pretzel.' Ling laughed from the side: 'Yo, isn't this the 'Space-Time Big Shot' from the outer galaxies? Why are you afraid of a wrench?' Leon rolled his eyes at him, the golden light in his hand brightening a bit: 'If you want to try having your hand twisted into a pretzel, I won't stop you.'
The equipment upgrade scene was noisy. Leon broke the 'Space-Time Calibration Crystal Core' into small pieces and distributed them to everyone: 'The martial arts in the space-time rift will be distorted. Put the crystal core in the lining of your spacesuits. My energy can help it calibrate your direction—remember, don't lose it. If you lose it, you won't even know where you are in the rift.' Xiao Juan's Nature Qi gloves gained an extra layer of 'Space-Time Sensing Membrane'. Leon smeared some crystal core powder on the membrane: 'You can sense the Source of Martial Tradition, and this membrane will allow you to see the 'Spirit-Devourer Trajectory' in the space-time rift. It's more useful than radar.'
The Little Whale Spirit's Qi Energy cabin was the liveliest. Leon drifted a wisp of Space-Time Energy inside, and the little guy was actually able to weave the Gilded Space-Time Energy with its own Stardust Energy, Star-Orbit Energy, Star Core Energy, and Erosion Energy into a 'Five-Energy Spiral Ball', rolling around in the cabin and bouncing back when it hit the bulkhead—it could now use five types of energy simultaneously! Leo leaned over to watch: 'How can this little guy learn all these energies? It's even more powerful than my Star Core Beast.' Xiao Kaya said with a smile: 'It's the Alliance's 'mascot and trump card', how could it be weak?'
Chen Wu held up the fusion jade, the five energies on the jade intertwined into a spiral, shining blindingly: 'Now we are the 'Five-Realm traditional martial arts Alliance'—Solar System, Andromeda, Triangulum, Small Magellanic, and the outer galaxies. This time, we are going to activate the 'Space-Time Core'. Not only do we need to clear the Spirit-Devourers in the rift, but we also need to connect the Space-Time Core to the Source of Martial Tradition of the entire Universe. In the future, no matter which galaxy has an incident, we can provide rapid support through the Space-Time Core.'
The global live stream barrage was about to crash the screen: 'Five-Realm Alliance! This lineup is even more intense than before!' 'The Little Whale Spirit's five-energy ball is so cute it makes me cry! It can actually bounce around!' 'The part where Leon and Ling roasted each other made me laugh! That's what real brothers are like!' The Technical Department sent word that 37 galaxies had joined the Alliance. The location of the Space-Time Core had been locked at the center of the space-time rift, although there were quite a few Spirit-Devourer Space-Time Lords guarding the perimeter.
Space-Time Rift: Spirit-Devourer Traps and Five-Energy Breakthrough
When the Alliance Mothership sailed into the space-time rift, the scene outside the window changed completely—there were no stars, only distorted bands of light, as if the Universe had been kneaded into a tangled mess. The spaceship's instrument panel jumped wildly, and even Ling's Stardust Energy was twisted into curves, flying out and circling back to hit him.
'Damn! What kind of dump is this! Even martial arts can loop!' Ling rubbed his bruised arm, cursing. Leon's Space-Time Crystal Core lit up, and pale golden light wrapped around the mothership: 'Don't panic! It's just space-time distortion. I'll stabilize it with my martial art.' The light at his fingertips drew a circle outside the cabin, and the distorted light bands instantly became smooth, and the instrument panel slowly returned to normal.
But they hadn't gone far when a 'Space-Time Vortex' suddenly appeared ahead—floating in the vortex were many weapons belonging to traditional martial artists, as well as a shattered spaceship, clearly where previous traditional martial artists who had come to activate the core had crashed. 'It's a trap set by the Spirit-Devourers! The vortex can swallow spaceships and even copy the martial arts inside to attack our own people!' Leon's expression changed, and he wanted to bypass it, but the vortex suddenly emitted a gravitational force, dragging the mothership inward.
'Karen! Use Storm Qi to hold it off! Leo! Use Star Core Energy to burn the edge of the vortex!' Chen Wu immediately gave orders. Karen's Storm Qi spun, and silver-gray wind formed a barrier in front of the mothership, but as soon as the wind touched the vortex, it was twisted into a spiral; Leo's Star Core Energy condensed into a fireball and smashed toward the vortex, but the fireball was actually copied by the vortex, turning into two fireballs—one hitting the vortex, and one hitting the mothership!
'Careful! The fireballs will be copied!' Xiao Juan shouted, the Space-Time Sensing Membrane on her gloves lighting up, 'There is a 'Spirit-Devourer Space-Time Sub-Entity' at the core of the vortex, it's controlling the replication! I can see its location!' She drew the sub-entity's position on the screen; it was right at the center of the vortex, wrapped in a layer of pale black Space-Time Energy.
The Little Whale Spirit suddenly rushed out of the cabin, the Five-Energy Spiral Ball growing larger in front of it and flying toward the vortex—as soon as the ball touched the vortex, the copied fireball disappeared, and the vortex slowly shrank. 'Its five-energy ball can neutralize space-time distortion!' A-Yue shouted in surprise, 'Little Whale Spirit! Throw another ball at the core!' The little guy nodded and spat out another five-energy ball, smashing it toward the sub-entity—the sub-entity was instantly purified, and the vortex disappeared completely.
Global viewers watched with sweaty palms, and the barrage was full of 'Little Whale Spirit is too awesome! The five-energy ball can actually break the replication!' 'Xiao Juan's sensing membrane is so useful! Pinpoint positioning of the sub-entity!' 'Leon's Space-Time Energy stabilizing the ship was the key!' Half an hour later, the mothership finally reached the center of the space-time rift. The 'Space-Time Core' in the distance revealed itself—it was a pale golden crystal floating in the rift, with space-time runes carved on its surface, but it was surrounded by over a dozen Spirit-Devourer Space-Time Lords, and there was also a 'Spirit-Devourer Space-Time Mother Lord' ten times larger than the previous ones, lying on the core and gnawing on the runes.
Space-Time Core Battlefield: Lord Clones and Team Confrontation
As soon as the Alliance Mothership came to a stop, the Space-Time Mother Lord raised its head—its body was pale black Space-Time Energy wrapped around metal bone spurs, and its eyes were two clusters of distorted light. As soon as it opened its mouth, it spat out a ball of 'Space-Time Distortion Qi Energy', heading straight for the mothership's cockpit! 'Quick, use Space-Time Energy to block! This Qi Energy can twist and destroy the equipment!' Leon shouted, the pale golden light around his body forming a barrier outside the cockpit, and the Qi Energy slowly dissipated upon hitting the barrier.
Chen Wu immediately assigned tactics: 'Leon, Ling, and A-Yue, you are one group; go break the Mother Lord's space-time shield. Leo and Xiao Kaya, you are one group; use Star Core Energy + Erosion Energy to clear the surrounding small lords. The new generation will protect the core with me to prevent the Mother Lord from gnawing on the runes!'
Leon's group charged the fastest—Leon's Space-Time Energy condensed into a sword and stabbed at the Mother Lord's shield. As soon as the pale golden light touched the shield, the distorted space-time became smooth; Ling's Stardust Energy drilled through the gaps in the sword, disrupting the Mother Lord's internal Qi Energy; A-Yue's Star-Orbit threads wrapped around the Mother Lord's claws to prevent it from swatting people. But the Mother Lord suddenly swayed and split into three Clones, each identical to itself, rushing toward the three of them!
'It can actually split into space-time Clones!' Ling was hit by a Clone, and his Stardust armor was torn with a large hole, 'This Clone can even twist martial arts! My Stardust Energy can't hit it at all!' Leon immediately used Space-Time Energy to freeze the Clones: 'I can freeze them for 3 seconds! Quickly use martial arts to strike the core!' A-Yue's Star-Orbit threads took the opportunity to wrap around the Clones' cores, and Ling's Stardust Energy followed up; the three Clones were instantly purified.
Leo and Xiao Kaya were having a hard time too—the small lords could control space-time, twisting Leo's Star Core fireballs toward Xiao Kaya. Fortunately, Xiao Kaya used Erosion Energy to block them: 'Can't you be more accurate! You almost burned me!' Leo said aggrievedly: 'It's not that I'm inaccurate, it's that space-time is being twisted!' Xiao Kaya rolled her eyes and drew a circle around Leo with Erosion Energy: 'Stand in the circle, my energy can help you calibrate your direction.'
Suddenly, a rune on the core dimmed—the Mother Lord, taking advantage of everyone's distraction, gnawed off a piece of the rune! 'Don't let it gnaw!' Little Karim shouted, his Pyramid Force bracers lighting up, and a pale golden light shield protected the remaining runes on the core; Mei's Ninja Qi darts shot toward the Mother Lord's mouth, but the darts were twisted by space-time, circled around, and came back, almost stabbing herself; Lyla was so anxious she was about to cry, as the microorganisms summoned by her Shamanic Martial Force couldn't get close to the Mother Lord at all.
The Little Whale Spirit suddenly rushed over, the Five-Energy Spiral Ball smashing toward the Mother Lord's mouth—as soon as the ball touched it, the Mother Lord roared in pain and could no longer gnaw on the runes. 'Its five-energy ball can suppress the Mother Lord's Space-Time Energy!' Xiao Juan shouted in surprise, 'Everyone, follow the Little Whale Spirit's ball and hit the Mother Lord's core together!'
Climax: Five-Realm Space-Time Resonance and Mother Lord Defeat
'Leon! Use Space-Time Energy to freeze the Mother Lord! We need to charge up!' Chen Wu shouted. Leon's Space-Time Energy instantly surged, and the pale golden light wrapped around the Mother Lord. The Mother Lord's movements instantly slowed down, as if a slow-motion button had been pressed. Leo, Xiao Kaya, A-Yue, Ling... everyone's Qi Energy poured into the Little Whale Spirit's five-energy ball, and the ball became larger and larger, glowing with five colors: gold, silver, purple, red, and dark silver.
The Mother Lord saw that the situation was not good and tried to break free from the Space-Time Energy, but the Little Whale Spirit's ball suddenly stuck to its space-time shield, and the five energies slowly drilled into the shield, causing cracks to appear. 'Attention all Alliance members! Channel the energy of the Source of Martial Tradition to the Alliance Mothership! We are going to unleash the Five-Realm Space-Time Resonance Energy!' Chen Wu shouted into the communicator. Traditional martial artists from 37 galaxies exerted their power together, and countless beams of light rushed from all over the Universe, converging into the Alliance Mothership, and then transmitted to the Little Whale Spirit's ball.
'Five-Realm Space-Time Resonance Energy! Fire!' Chen Wu shouted. The Little Whale Spirit's five-energy ball, carrying the energy of the entire Alliance, was like a colorful meteor, smashing toward the Mother Lord's core—as soon as the ball touched the core, the pale golden Space-Time Energy and the other four energies exploded together. The Mother Lord's body slowly purified, turning into harmless stardust, and the surrounding small lords were also purified along with it. The distorted light bands in the space-time rift began to smooth out.
Even more surprisingly, all the runes on the Space-Time Core lit up, projecting an image—it was the founder of the outer galaxy traditional martial arts, who pointed to the other side of the space-time rift and said: 'The Space-Time Core is the 'Space-Time Hub' of the Universe's traditional martial arts, capable of connecting the Source of Martial Tradition of all galaxies. But be aware, the other side of the rift is the 'body of the Universal Spirit-Devourer Mother Nest', which has been waiting to devour the Source of Martial Tradition of the entire Universe...'
The global live stream barrage had already exploded: 'Five-Realm Resonance is so intense! I have goosebumps!' 'The Little Whale Spirit is the hero! Without it, we couldn't have broken the Mother Lord at all!' 'The Space-Time Core has lit up! Support will be faster in the future!' Leon leaned against the core, smiling and saying: 'Thank you all... Outer galaxy traditional martial arts no longer have to fight alone.'
Ending: Space-Time Hub Activation and New Foreshadowing
After the Space-Time Core was activated, the Alliance Mothership's screen displayed the 'Universe-wide Source of Martial Tradition Connection Map'—the Source of Martial Tradition of the 37 galaxies were connected by pale golden lines, like a huge net, and the Space-Time Core was at the center of the net, glowing with a soft light. Chen Wu looked at the map, his voice firm: 'In the future, no matter which galaxy is in trouble, we can provide rapid support through the Space-Time Core, and we will never have to spend days on the road like before. This is the meaning of the Alliance.'
Leon took a 'Space-Time Crystal Core Fragment' from his pocket and handed it to Chen Wu: 'This is a token of the outer galaxy traditional martial arts, capable of sensing the fluctuations of the Mother Nest on the other side of the rift. The body of the Mother Nest is stronger than all the Spirit-Devourers we have encountered before; it can control the space-time of the entire Universe, and we must prepare quickly.' The Little Whale Spirit floated over and stuck the five-energy ball onto the crystal core fragment, and the fragment suddenly lit up, projecting a blurry image of the Mother Nest—it was a huge black planet, surrounded by countless space-time rifts, making everyone frown.
When the Alliance Mothership was about to leave, the Space-Time Core shot out a wisp of pale golden light, wrapping around the fusion jade—the five energies on the jade could now resonate with the Source of Martial Tradition of the entire Universe simultaneously, shining blindingly. Xiao Juan touched the core and said softly: 'Don't worry, we will guard the Source of Martial Tradition of the entire Universe and will not let the Mother Nest succeed.'
The final scene of the global live broadcast was the Alliance Mothership following the light of the Space-Time Core, sailing out of the space-time rift, followed by spaceships from 37 galaxies, like a colorful dragon. Chen Wu said to the camera: 'No matter how strong the Mother Nest on the other side of the space-time rift is, we are not afraid. Because we have the traditional martial artists of the entire Universe as our backing, we have the five-realm martial arts as our weapons, and we have partners like the Little Whale Spirit. As long as we are together, there is no Source of Martial Tradition that cannot be guarded, and no difficulty that cannot be broken.'
