Qiong Lao and the others wanted to ask Luo Kai about the Space Force, but this kind of energy was so mysterious that they didn't know where to start.
Luo Kai didn't bother to explain. As his life level increased, space was no longer just a concept in his world. It was like a sparkling sea, and the ripples created by the waves were the fluctuations of space.
When the sky turned bright, the remaining eight people split into two groups. Old Man Qiong led Luo Kai towards a large mountain. Lin Xiaolei knew that she was weak, and only by following a high-level physical trainer would she have a chance of survival in such a dangerous place, so she followed.
About half an hour later, they were deep into the forest. The trees here were very sparse, and they weren't very tall. However, they were all like coal, shining with a black luster.
Old Man Qiong said as he walked, "Little Wu, there's a tall tower up ahead. There's a chess game inside. It's said that if you can comprehend the chess game, your cultivation will increase. That's why it's also called the Promotion Tower."
Luo Kai nodded lightly. His gaze was fixed on the sky through the treetops. The sun in the Shattered Spirit Realm was very bright, but it wasn't hot. It was very comfortable to bask in the sun.
Lin Xiaolei was at the back of the group. From time to time, she would sneak a glance at his side. This person is really strange. He always has that calm look on his face. It's as if I've never seen any emotion on his face before.
Luo Kai naturally noticed her gaze and knew what she was thinking. However, as his life level increased, his world was no longer the same as that of ordinary people. In his world, the sky was no longer a boundless deep blue. Instead, it was filled with specks of starlight. No matter how bright the sun was, it couldn't block these specks of starlight. The energy emitted by these specks of starlight was constantly being absorbed by his skin, gradually transforming every cell of his body. This kind of feeling was very easy to indulge in and ignore everything outside.
In front of them stood a tall stone tower. It was also incomparably huge, almost the same size as the small mountain next to it.
Almost every floor of the tower was carved with murals. Most of them were scenes of humans and monsters fighting. The murals seemed to come alive, and the scenes of war were very spectacular.
There were also some people in the tower. They were all old men with white hair and beards. They were engrossed in studying the murals on every floor of the tower and didn't care about anything else.
Luo Kai started from the first floor and gradually reached the highest floor, which was the ninth floor.
There were several stone platforms erected on top of the nine-story tower. Countless small stone grids were carved out on the stone platforms. Below the stone platforms was a pile of small stones engraved with numbers, up and down, up and down, vertically and horizontally, showing the mathematical principles of the universe.
Go originated in China and was known as "Yi" in ancient times. It could be said to be the ancestor of chess. The changes in it were almost infinite. Even the most advanced computer could not calculate one-thousandth of it.
There were already two people looking at the chessboard on the stone platform. One of them was wearing a white robe. He was handsome and looked extraordinary. There was a slit in between his eyebrows. There was a vertical pupil that only cold-blooded animals would have. He was from the Three-Eyed Race.
The other person was a thin old man. His eyes were flashing with a frightening light. Both of them had a dignified look on their faces. Each of them was holding an abacus and making a lot of noise on it. They didn't notice the arrival of others at all.
Lin Xiaolei was obviously quite knowledgeable about chess. She sat down beside a stone platform and took out a small abacus and a pen from her bag. Then, she stared at the chessboard in front of her and began to calculate.
Luo Kai was a layman when it came to chess, but he knew the basic rules. There were a total of five stone platforms. The chessboard on each platform was fixed. You could stand on the white side and calculate the way to win the black side. You could also stand on the black side and study the way to win the white side. This kind of logical calculation required a lot of time and brain power. After carefully memorizing it, he threw it to the AI in his body and turned around to look at the stone room nearby.
The space of the tower was very large. There were murals everywhere. The war scenes on the murals were very strange. It was a war between robots and humans. The robots had all kinds of strange shapes. The humans were also very strange. Some had wings, and some had seven or eight arms like spiders.
Unknowingly, he walked into a stone room. There was also a mural there. It looked like a sacrificial scene. The chest and abdomen of the people in the mural were all thrown away and replaced with various mechanical limbs, including artificial organs. In the end, not only were the organs replaced, but the head was also thrown away. It seemed like the consciousness of the people was also given to the machines.
The more Luo Kai looked, the more shocked he was. This should be a relic of the ancient human civilization. Their level of technology was very high. They had developed a way to combine humans with machines. They even injected mysterious soul power into machines, giving the machines the ability to evolve. Unfortunately, the machines that were given consciousness were too powerful and gradually became difficult to control. Instead, it led the entire civilization into the abyss of destruction.
Just as he was about to walk over and take a look, his expression suddenly changed. He looked toward the corridor outside and said, "Who is it?"
A man appeared from the void. He was one of the people who had been controlled by the machines in Zhige Valley last night. However, his current appearance was very strange. Half of his skin was as black as coal, while the other half was normal.
The man looked at him with eyes full of greed. He said in a hoarse voice, "Hand over the spatial treasure on your body."
"I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find you."
The corner of Luo Kai's mouth twitched. He didn't waste any words. He pulled out the white bone long blade on his back and slashed out. It seemed like a casual slash, but the air was immediately accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.
The man let out a soft and sharp laugh. "Good blade technique!"
He actually raised his fist to meet the blade. The blade and fist collided. With a ripping sound, his entire arm was chopped off.
A severed arm fell to the ground. Although he had lost an arm, his expression didn't change. He looked at the severed arm that wasn't bleeding in the slightest. He lightly shrugged his shoulders. The flesh around the severed arm wriggled rapidly, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, another arm grew out.
Luo Kai condensed a blade aura and slashed at him again. The man didn't dodge the incoming blade aura. This time, half of his body was chopped in half. However, in an instant, half of his body grew out again.
Following that, he continuously increased the power of the blade aura. The man didn't dodge at all, completely using his body to meet the attack head-on. He was riddled with holes by the blade aura, but they were repaired in an instant.
Luo Kai's expression didn't change. Everything had to follow the law of conservation of energy. No matter how powerful one was, there was no way they could recover indefinitely. He stopped attacking and looked at the severed arm that was quickly turning into a pile of dust on the ground.
The man laughed coldly. "Alright, you've fought enough, right? It's my turn!"
His body violently twisted and grew. In an instant, it turned into a large net that covered the entire stone room. It rolled towards Luo Kai from all directions.
Luo Kai no longer suppressed his strength. His blood and Qi violently increased. The elemental energy stored in his chest and abdomen was also stimulated. Three streams of light surrounded his body.
Streaks of rainbow-like blade aura constantly appeared. With a ripping sound, it directly shattered this invisible giant net. The entire stone room was filled with flesh and blood, but it soon turned into dust.
In the dust, the man appeared again. After realizing that he couldn't do anything to Luo Kai, he angrily tore off his entire arm. He said hatefully, "This body is too weak. Human, I will come back for you again."
"Since you're here, don't leave."
Luo Kai's indifferent voice sounded. A silver light flickered between his eyebrows. The star-like Blade of Separation shuttled through the void like a dragon. In an instant, it laid down a spatial net. Regardless of whether it was the space inside or outside, it was completely locked.
He took out a small wooden fish from his bosom and gently knocked on it. Spots of flowing light spread out. A layer of black fog appeared out of thin air and slowly floated down.
He walked forward to take a closer look. This layer of black fog looked like a type of metal particle, but it was too small. The measurement unit needed to be calculated in microns. He communicated with the artificial intelligence in his body and scanned it. "Antimatter, has the ability to annihilate matter. It can provide a huge amount of kinetic energy. Item level: 7 stars."
