Compared to Earth, which was full of vitality, Venus was desolate and dead. There was nothing in front of him except for the thick orange-yellow fog. There were craters and craters of all sizes, and there was no soil on the surface of the crust. It was all hard rock and mantle.
Before the Catastrophe, human beings had figured out the basic material structure of the eight planets in the solar system, but they could only look at things from the surface. Strictly speaking, human civilization was still stuck on Earth.
The gravity of Venus was similar to that of Earth, but the atmospheric pressure was ninety times higher. It made people feel like they were at the bottom of the sea, but without buoyancy, their movements were greatly restricted.
Luo Kai stood still. This was completely inconsistent with the map that Big Beard had given him. According to Big Beard, the Realm of Shattered Spirit was an incomparably huge maze. Outside the maze, there was no way to know, but inside the maze, the environment was the same as on Earth. There were cities, mountains, rivers, dense forests, and of course, oxygen and life. The environment was not much different from Earth.
Either the space crack had sent him to the wrong place, or the Realm of Shattered Spirits was on Venus, but Venus was not much smaller than Earth. How long would it take him to find it?
Without the enhancement of energy, his spiritual power was greatly compressed. He could barely cover a distance of ten kilometers around him, but there was no sign of life.
He tried to fly. The premise of the Divine Manipulation was that there was something to use. However, in this world, there was no clear air. Instead, there was only sinking turbid air. In other words, there was no oxygen, helium, hydrogen, or other active gases. There was only dead carbon dioxide.
Half an hour later, the environment in front of him changed. A large golden sand sea appeared. The sand dunes rose and fell, and the light was dazzling.
He bent down and grabbed a handful of sand. It was very hot, very heavy, and very hard. Such a small handful was estimated to weigh hundreds of kilograms. It was not sand, but an unknown metal.
He activated the AI in his body again. The AI's cold, mechanical voice sounded in his mind. "Star marrow, originated from the inside of a star. After being given the battle memory of a star spirit, it is the main material to make Huang Rong war puppets. Item grade: eight stars."
He was secretly shocked. This was undoubtedly a battlefield between gods and extraterrestrial creatures, but he did not know how the golden warrior, who could not be destroyed by fission weapons, had been shattered into fine sand.
Regardless of whether it was a sea of sand or a dry crust, there was no difference. He continued to move forward. In this vast sea of sand dunes, he was really like a grain of sand in the ocean, completely unremarkable. Coupled with the constant high pressure and heat, he couldn't help but feel irritated.
After walking for about an hour, there was only sand in front of him and behind him. There was no other scenery. There were endless sand dunes, and the key was that he had lost his sense of direction. There were no footprints on the sand, and he had no idea which direction he had come from.
Moving forward in this endless sea of sand was a great test for one's state of mind because one couldn't see the future and hope. However, Luo Kai's will was already as firm as a rock. His initial anxiety had turned into an ancient well without ripples.
He no longer needed to breathe. He could even stop his internal organs from working and enter a half-solidified state of hibernation. No matter how harsh the external environment was, it would not threaten his life. His skin and muscles were not inferior to the metal that made up the Black Iron Warrior, or even better. Even if he was in magma, he would not be easily dissolved.
He moved forward mechanically. At the same time, he penetrated his mind into the ground and quietly felt the pulse of the earth, which was completely different from that of Earth.
If the heartbeat of Earth was compared to that of a normal strong young man, majestic, steady, and full of rhythm, then the heartbeat of Venus was like that of a heart patient with severe arrhythmia. There was no rhythm to speak of, and most of the time, it was in an extremely violent state. This was overdrawing one's life force. Of course, compared to the lifespan of the planet, which was easily billions of years, this overdraft was nothing.
Luo Kai silently calculated the time as he walked. After walking for hundreds of kilometers, the scenery in front of him had not changed at all. Moreover, for some unknown reason, he gradually felt sleepy. Sleep was not only a need for the body's metabolism, but also the best way to relieve physical and mental stress. Unfortunately, he no longer had a metabolic system, so naturally, he did not need to sleep.
If it were in the past, he would have been ecstatic. Although his body did not need to sleep, his consciousness still longed for sleep. However, he could not do so now. It was not a good thing to sleep in this unknown world. He bit the tip of his tongue hard, but it did not work at all. It seemed that his nervous system had completely malfunctioned.
He became more and more sleepy. His eyelids gradually became heavy, and his thoughts became hazy. He could not wait to fall asleep. It did not matter even if he did not wake up. However, the sense of crisis that rose in the depths of his heart forcibly stopped him from falling asleep. He simply waved his hands and feet and began to practice martial arts. The fierce and fierce punches in the past became weak and sore. His movements became slower and slower, and finally stopped.
…
Time slowly passed, and a golden humanoid object drilled out of the heavy sand dune. It stealthily walked in front of Luo Kai and stared at him from top to bottom. It even carefully looked at the weapons and equipment on his body for a long time, as if it was studying something. Finally, it waved the spear in its hand and stabbed it directly at Luo Kai's head.
It was also at this moment that a snow-white blade appeared out of thin air. It was launched later but arrived first, and directly split it in half.
Luo Kai stood up and looked at the thing that attacked him. It was a humanoid machine. Its entire body was golden and mottled with rust. There were two holes in its head and chest. It was already in a half-damaged state.
After being split in half, there was a sizzling sound. After a while, it was completely cut off.
This thing's attack method was very powerful. First, it used an unknown magnetic field similar to the one in the Misty Mountains to disturb people's nervous system and hypnotize their consciousness. Then, it killed them, making it impossible to guard against.
Fortunately, he was the nemesis of this kind of hypnotism. After sensing that he was being attacked, he pretended to be restrained and waited for the attacker to appear.
Luo Kai bent down and carefully studied it. This thing seemed to be a piece of synthetic metal with intelligence. The specific operation method was unknown. He could only communicate with the artificial intelligence to identify it.
"Star Marrow Split Body, split from a Yellow Rong Warrior. Level: 5 stars."
These highly intelligent machines had survived countless years and were still alive. In terms of adaptability, they were much stronger than carbon-based life forms.
He continued to move forward. After about an hour, a concave valley appeared in front of him. There was a large barren hill in the valley. Logically speaking, this kind of terrain would definitely be buried by quicksand. However, there seemed to be a protective shield around the valley, preventing the quicksand from seeping in.
Luo Kai quickened his pace. As he got closer, he suddenly felt a tingling pain on his skin. He used his heart to sense it. There was a lot of inexplicable energy in the air. It was like a kind of radiation energy with extremely strong burning power. The closer he got, the higher the density of the energy. The hard fine sand under his feet became soft and soft.
This should be the explosion site of a powerful nuclear weapon. He was in an incomparably huge battlefield. Limited by his own small vision, he was unable to spy on the whole picture of this battlefield.
