104: Dimensional erosion, a counter-attack

The news of the Divine Realm Inspector's defeat and retreat did not spread among the common populace, but it caused considerable turmoil within the circles of certain ancient and powerful existences. The weight of the Cloud Court and its mysterious Dominator was re-evaluated, earning them the label: "Unpredictable, Extremely Dangerous, Temporarily Avoid the Edge."

However, there are always those who refuse to believe in fate or who rely on their specialized methods.

The "Void Ephemera" is an extremely rare and unique race. While their individual strength may not be top-tier, their racial talent, "Dimensional Contamination," is infamous. They can quietly penetrate the underlying Law structure of a target plane, much like a drop of water seeping into a sponge, carrying out slow and hidden erosion and transformation. Ultimately, without triggering violent conflict, they convert the entire plane into a "Midge Nest" suitable for their survival. The process is silent and impossible to guard against. Many planes protected by Heavenly Mandate Rank experts have suffered hidden losses because of them.

On this day, several Void Ephemera, resembling transparent jellyfish and extremely difficult for both the naked eye and Divine Sense to detect, silently penetrated the world barrier of the Demon Spirit Continent. They did not attack forcefully from the outside but used a certain talent to directly "blink" into the internal gaps of the world's Law system. Like microorganisms, they began releasing unique dimensional fluctuations, attempting to assimilate the surrounding Law structure and establish the initial "Nest Base Point."

This process was extremely covert; even Nie Li and Yun Hao did not immediately detect it. Only Yun Feng, sitting in the Star Gazing Hall with his mind deeply connected to the World Origin, opened his eyes the instant the Ephemera infiltrated.

"Oh? A little trick on the dimensional level?" A half-smile curved his lips. "It

s somewhat novel."

He did not immediately move to expel or destroy them. Instead, as if he had discovered an interesting toy, he watched with great interest as the Void Ephemera cautiously carried out their "construction" within the Law gaps of his world.

"Court Master, there seems to be unknown energy at the underlying Law level..." Nie Li's message arrived quickly; he, too, had noticed a subtle disharmony.

"No worries, they are just a few small bugs that can't stir up trouble," Yun Feng replied. "Send out a notice to activate the 'Law Mirror' protocol. Map all their activities within the underlying Law in real-time onto the public screen in the training ground for all instructors and outstanding students of the Academy to observe and study. Consider it... a vivid practical lesson on 'Anti-Infiltration and Dimensional Defense.'"

Nie Li was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood Yun Feng's intention. He couldn't help but offer a moment of silence

specifically, 0.1 seconds

for the unlucky Void Ephemera in his heart, and promptly carried out the order.

Soon, an astonishing scene unfolded on the massive screen in the core training ground of the Void Academy. The Demon Spirit Continent's originally monolithic Law network was displayed in a visualized form. Several "anomalies," resembling transparent worms, slowly wriggled within it, releasing ripples and attempting to change the color and structure of the surrounding Laws. The entire Law network, as if possessing self-awareness, quietly recorded, analyzed, and even simulated the various consequences that might arise after erosion whenever these anomalies were active, marking out weak points in defense and suggesting counter-measures.

"Wow! So this is what the underlying Law layer looks like!"

"Look! They are trying to twist the Law of energy flow!"

"It's marked! If this spot is successfully eroded, it will lead to a localized drop in spatial stability!"

"Quick, look at the counter-measure plan! Using high-frequency Soul vibration combined with spatial anchoring can effectively interfere with their assimilation process!"

The students were captivated, and the instructors seized the opportunity for on-the-spot teaching. This was more intuitive and profound than any textbook case! The entire Academy seemed to have transformed into a massive dissection laboratory, and the experimental subjects were the Void Ephemera who thought they were perfectly hidden.

The Void Ephemera were also bewildered. They felt their infiltration process was abnormally "smooth," as if the surrounding Laws were completely undefended. But gradually, they realized something was wrong. No matter how hard they tried or how many dimensional fluctuations they released, the Law areas they "contaminated" always reverted to their original state within an extremely short time, as if an invisible giant hand was constantly "repairing" and "resetting" them. What chilled them even more was the increasingly clear sensation of being "watched" by countless eyes, coming from all directions!

Just as they realized the danger and tried to make an emergency retreat, they despairingly discovered that the Law gaps, which had been unobstructed on their way in, had become rock-solid, trapping them firmly in place!

"The dissection study is over," Yun Feng's calm voice resounded on the Law level. "Now, it's our turn to ask questions."

A grand, irresistible, and incomprehensible will descended, easily prying open the simple consciousness cores of the Void Ephemera and reading all their information regarding racial habits, nest distribution, and who commissioned this operation (a cross-plane gray organization called the "Shadow Guild").

"Shadow Guild? It seems the marketplace is too popular and has attracted flies," Yun Feng thought faintly.

The next moment, the Void Ephemera, along with all the dimensional fluctuations they had released, were completely "erased" directly from the underlying Law of the Demon Spirit Continent, leaving no trace behind.

Meanwhile, several Star Domain away, inside a hidden space station concealed within an asteroid belt a liaison point for the "Shadow Guild." The manager responsible for this infiltration operation was complacently waiting for good news. Suddenly, all the monitoring screens in front of him instantly turned to static. Immediately afterward, a line of text condensed from pure Law power clearly appeared on every screen:

"Gift received, much appreciated. The return gift has been sent. Please check for delivery.

Cloud Court"

Before the manager could react, the entire space station he was in, along with all personnel and equipment inside, was "wrung" from the inside out by an invisible giant hand. The spatial structure instantly became chaotic and collapsed, turning into a silently blooming fireworks display that completely vanished into the Void Realm.

Cloud Court, training ground. Yun Feng's voice, carrying a hint of ease, sounded through the amplification array:

"The lesson ends here. Remember, true power is not about what you can destroy, but about turning even the smallest threat into fuel for growth and... entertainment, all within the Laws you control."

The students burst into laughter, followed by enthusiastic applause and cheers. At this moment, their sense of belonging and pride in the Cloud Court reached its peak.

Following this "Ephemera Dissection" incident, the Cloud Court's terrifying capability in dimensional defense and Law control once again intimidated all those who knew about it. Want to use underhanded tactics against the Cloud Court? Better measure whether you'll become the "teaching material" for the next public lesson!
