Chapter 701 387: Tip of the Iceberg of the Mysterious Force

In such a situation, the Great Wind Emperor indeed began to waver.

If he had a choice, he certainly wouldn't be willing to give up his freedom and supreme status.

However, if there was no choice, or rather, compared to complete death, this was the only choice.

In that case, the Great Wind Emperor wouldn't choose extinction.

For such a powerful being who has experienced countless years, this life has truly seen too many changes.

Many times, even if it seems like you're already in a desperate situation, as long as you live, there can still be variability.

It can be said that, in the entire All Heavens, the true desperate situation is only complete annihilation.

In conclusion.

After pursuing the Great Wind Emperor for a full fourteen hundred years, the Great Wind Emperor finally accepted reality.

He decided to defect.

And in the Gray Mist Space, Shen Yu also met him.

At this moment, the Great Wind Emperor finally understood the composition of the Association.

He also learned why, in the battle, he felt extremely strange.

All along, he had only been fighting a small part of this force.

But through the method of Association Points, he could receive assistance from this force.

Moreover, the manner of assistance was astonishing.

It was almost possible to accomplish anything.

This was enough to illustrate that the force behind it was very powerful, and had definitely reached the next realm!

"I finally understand why you dare to explore the All Heavens World so recklessly," said the Great Wind Emperor.

This made Shen Yu narrow his eyes slightly.

"The Association indeed has not imposed any restrictions on this aspect nor informed of any risks, but from what you said, it seems there is some potential crisis?" Shen Yu inquired directly.

"Exactly." The Great Wind Emperor looked into Shen Yu's eyes and said word by word, "There is an unknown and powerful force incessantly targeting All Heavens Forces!"

He seemed to want to see shock in Shen Yu's expression.

However, for the Association, they had already detected some traces.

They were not completely unaware or unprepared.

The Great Wind Emperor obviously realized something too, so he continued, "We also discovered some traces of the destruction of All Heavens Forces, but what truly confirmed it was some special powers found within the Resource World. These devices, which possess a destructive effect on all Extraordinary Powers, are essentially the nature of my ability."

He stretched out his hand, and a small black sphere appeared in it.

This surprised Shen Yu a little.

Originally, Shen Yu had always thought that the Great Wind Emperor's trump card of transforming into a black hole was some kind of powerful Extraordinary Power.

But he didn't expect it to be a special apparatus.

Moreover, at first glance, Shen Yu did not sense any Power of Laws from this apparatus.

If it wasn't deeply hidden, then this power was likely based purely in the Material World?

Could the power of the Material World truly affect the Extraordinary Rules of the twelfth tier?

And with a destructive impact!

"Let's take it for research." Shen Yu reached out and took the sphere.

The Great Wind Emperor's expression remained calm.

Since he had become a captive, he had to present something to prove his compliance.

And although he possessed many trump cards, truly speaking, this was indeed the most precious and powerful one.

In the end, the Association directly arranged for the Great Wind Emperor to be settled in the Gray Mist Space, within the section belonging to the Great Wind Empire.

As long as the Great Wind Emperor cooperated sufficiently, it would certainly accelerate the Association's assimilation of the entire Great Wind Empire.

And there was no need to worry about issues of rebellion or safety.

The small world housed within the Gray Mist Space was entirely isolated from the outside, making it impossible to leave easily.

To suppress it, one only needed to let the Gray Mist sweep in, which was enough to annihilate everything.

Meanwhile, Shen Yu convened several core members of the council to discuss the small sphere.

"This is, so far, the only item we have that is directly linked to the mysterious force." Shen Yu's tone was somewhat serious. "This force is highly likely to have reached the Thirteenth Stage. I have a strong premonition that in the All Heavens, the Thirteenth Stage is an extremely critical level. Such a force that continuously destroys All Heavens Forces, as well as the creator of the Gray Mist Space, are very likely all at this level."

Indeed, according to the current situation and reasonable speculation, the Thirteenth Stage is the level one can truly contact with cosmic truths of the All Heavens.

At least it is currently the only highest level accessible.

It deserved their utmost attention.

"This indeed appears to be a technological construct, at least possessing very deep technological prowess." Interstellar World Shen Yu had already scrutinized it for a while, also appearing grave. "Just its surface involves the Quantum Domain—no, perhaps even deeper than the Quantum Domain. I have never encountered such materials, entirely beyond our understanding. I sense... this might be the core material from the creation of the Material World, the primordial material from the 'Big Bang' itself."

Although those present were not very knowledgeable about technology within the Material World, they still possessed basic concepts.

Merely hearing this simple statement from Interstellar World Shen Yu, everyone instantly realized it truly was an advanced technological concept.
