Chapter 164
It might not take long to pass through a space vortex, but for Greem and the others, it felt like an entire century.
The space constantly stretched and compressed and rolled over their bodies……An apprentice adept would have had their bodies disintegrated, their Spirit shattered and died a painful death in the process. Fortunately, the adepts were supported by a tough Physique and a powerful Spirit after their advancements.
Even Greem had to try his very best to resist the odd twists of the mutated space.
The mysterious adept Sarubo had clearly used a unique means to corrode a tiny wormhole on the plane barrier to avoid alerting the plane’s plane consciousness. Countless space turbulence filled the space vortex. These were the result of Sarubo’s battle against the plane laws.
With the power of Greem and the others, they would be minced to pieces instantly if they were caught in any of them.
Fortunately, under the guidance of Sarubo’s consciousness projection, Greem and the others did not get lost in the space vortex. They sped through the vortex, avoiding one after another terrifying turbulence. Soon, they appeared in another world.
It was a silent valley in the middle of a vast mountain range.
The ancient trees within the forests were large and strong. Their branches easily extended to several hundred square meters wide. Tall mountains and vast forests were everywhere around. Ravines were strewn about the valley. The songs of birds and the calls of insects never stopped.
Kiel in particular, as a Body Refining Adept, was an important person in the construction of the base. With one fist, he could down trees that were as thick as a man’s embrace. With a few chops of his steel palms, branches as thick as a child’s arm were removed. And alone, he could carry the half-a-ton trunk back to the base.
The restrictions by the law chains were extremely strong as they had just entered the plane. They couldn’t use any powerful spells. Even the simplest of cantrips were changed due to a change in plane laws.
You might have wanted to summon a little flame for dinner, only to realise the little flame is now a giant fireball. And there goes your pot. You might have wanted to summon a flame tornado to attack your enemies, only to have a little flame flicker in your palms. It’s hardly enough to even warm the enemies….
The difference in plane laws made all spells function weirdly. The adept’s individual strength was probably not much stronger than the plane natives before they get familiar with the plane laws.
Greem snapped his fingers to ignite a flame at his fingertips. After the Elementium flashed in the air, something appeared in his hands. A jade green frog.
It was a normal frog with rough skin on its back. And it clearly was as surprised as Greem about him appearing out of thin air. After blinking its googly eyes and looking about, it leaped out of Greem’s palm and with a few hops, it disappeared in the bush.
Dammit! The difference in plane laws was so large? To have caused a fire spell to become a random nature summon?
Greem calmed himself down and communicated with the chip.
“Chip, how’s the plane law analysis going? ”
“Beep, this plane world is a low-level material plane. Elementium saturation rate is low, at 27% of the World of Adepts. Law similarity 69%. Expected analysis time is 235 hours 27 minutes 18 seconds….. Current analysis progress is 0.013%…..
The long progress bar in Greem’s mind was mostly occupied by a blinding rate. The green that represented progress only took up a thin line on the bar. Even Greem with his self-proclaimed 20/20 vision could hardly see any increase of the green bar.
Greem turned and looked at Acteon:”Which way are you going? ”
Although they hated each other thoroughly, they had to call a truce in this foreign world. Preserving their lives came first.
Dim green eyes flashed beneath Acteon’s hood. He pointed in a direction and left. After Acteon’s scrawny silhouette disappeared in the distance, Mary appeared beside Greem. Her eyes shot a questioning look at Greem as she slid her hand across her throat.
Greem shook his head after a moment’s thought, then left in another direction. Mary sighed due to a lost opportunity. Silently, she transformed into a bat and disappeared in a different direction from the other two.
Her transformation was a Bloodline ability and she received very little repercussions from the change in plane laws. This was her source of confidence in killing Acteon!
