BXBX NOVEL Chapter 464: Leaving the Earth!
Zhao Tian had his strong arms around her waist, hugging her tighter as he pecked her lips "Come out sooner, dear..."
Ning Zhilian nodded her head, a smile gracing her lips "Wait for me..." her gaze never leaving his as she reluctantly pulled away.
As he let go of her, she glanced back at the artifact glowing with strange golden rune patterns.
She inhaled deeply, mentally preparing herself for what was to come, before pushing open the heavy door. As it swung open, a thick mist of sizzling smoke poured out, swirling in the air.
Exhaling deeply, she stepped inside and sat cross-legged looking at Zhao Tian.
As he glanced at her purple eyes, the door slowly closed, sealing Ning Zhilian inside cutting their view of each other.
Zhao Tian closed his eyes, taking a moment to steady his emotions as his heart felt heavy leaving her.
With a shake of his head, he stepped out of the room and glanced at the women who were waiting for him.
Xia Shenyi, Shi Yixian, Fei Lingxi, and Fei Ziyu are the only ones remaining in the artifact right now.
Fei Ziyu and Fei Lingxi could have also gone with them but without asking their Master, they didn't want to make any decisions, so they stayed.
And they know this is the time they need to use and get close to him... how could they let go of this chance?
As Xia Shenyi walked to him, he gently grasped her waist and kissed her forehead "After tonight... I will also be going to the High stars."
The others nodded their heads and at this a pink fox rushed there, hurriedly walking through the corridors.
"Master!"
Looking at Yao Lian, Zhao Tian chuckled and crouched down to pet her head "I will be leaving for Jade Eclipse star first..."
"After that... I can go to your star and drop you there."
Yao Lian's ears perked up, and she nodded eagerly, her bright eyes filled with excitement. "Thank you, Master!"
Zhao Tian glanced at Fei Lingxi "Lingxi, you need to take care of Lian now that Shui'er is not here."
Fei Lingxi hurriedly nodded her head "As you say, Master."
...
Next day morning~
Zhao Tian is standing in the control room of the ark, reading through the holographic display of the manual and the description of how to use it and what the functions are.
"Glad it has an automatic function... I don't have to drive all the time."
"Locking onto a star is enough and it will also sensor obstacles and cross through them."
He looked through the manual, its defense mechanism, its weapon and when he needed to change the Divine Astral stone in the fuel room below.
It took some hours for him to read through it and memorized them all.
"I am ready now...."
...
*swish* Zhao Tian dashed through the air, clearing the clouds as he launched towards the atmosphere.
As soon as he entered space, his eyes glanced at the enormous ark in the distance and smiled "There are still Ebon Luohe troops on Earth."
*swoosh* Shaking his head, he dashed through the empty space and he felt his speed has greatly increased after breaking through the 6th level of Soul Refine Stage.
After some minutes of flying through the dark space, Zhao Tian took the ark from his storage ring and entered.
He stepped into the control room and clicked one of the buttons in the control panel.
*flick* A holographic display of the twinkling stars appeared on the room and he walked to the holographic keyboard.
"Jade Eclipse Star."
As he clicked enter, the holographic quickly zoomed to a certain star floating around a sun and he set its target to the star.
"It will take three weeks from here."
He clicked another button and the ark began to move at a fast pace but Zhao Tian didn't even feel like the ark was moving.
He glanced outside through the large panoramic glass in the control room and the outside space seemed like a blur because of its speed.
A sigh escaped his lips and he lazily launched on the chair "Now we have to wait..."
As he sat, he suddenly remembered a purple-haired woman and he couldn't help but smile "Thank you, Artoria...."
...
*swoooooooah* The lone ark streaked through the vast, cold expanse of space, its sleek form cutting through the black void at unimaginable speed.
Two weeks have already passed and Zhao Tian is sitting on the chair wearing a blue t-shirt and white pants, playing with the rubrics cube in his hand.
He glanced at the holographic time which is displayed on the control room and muttered "One more week..."
H-Huh? However, suddenly he felt a shiver run down his spine and hurriedly stood up from his seat.
His eyes darted around and his gaze squinted "The space... is distorting?"
Due to his good comprehension of his space energy, he can feel the space he is in now trembling and breaking slowly like the surface of a fragile mirror about to shatter.
What is happening?
*FEEN* *FEEN* Suddenly he heard beeping noises and the once-ambient blue lights of the ark were replaced by a glaring red glow, signaling imminent danger.
Zhao Tian glanced at the screen and saw the large [DANGER!] glowing brightly.
He quickly stopped the ark and glanced through the surrounding space to see what is happening.
What th- HUH?
His eyes shrank in shock looking at the massive cleave, an enormous rift that split the very fabric of the space right in front of him a few kilometers away.
In the dim black space, a large cleave can be seen where the space is distorting and shattering like glass as dust particles are swirling around the edges.
And he finally remembered Xia Shenyi talked about this and also in the instructions he studied on the ark.
A rare phenomenon that appears in space...
Rupture.
This is worse than a blackhole as the density of space energy is higher than a blackhole and if you get caught in it, you are fucking dead... turning you into a meat paste, sucking you hole, reducing it to nothing more than a smear of atoms in seconds.
He took a deep breath controlling his panic and he instantly turned on the defense mechanism of the ark.
*flick* *flick* Holographic shields appeared around the ark and Zhao Tian turned the ark to manual and gripped the
He clasped the controller joystick of the ark and pulled back for it to retreat.
"The space is pulling me in..." Zhao Tian growled, his frustration mounting.
His hands flew across the control panel as he activated every evasive measure the ship had, but nothing seemed to work.
The ark was caught in the rupture's gravitational pull, and it was only a matter of time before it was consumed.
He quickly tried to enter his artifact to escape from this rupture.
But no matter how he tried, he couldn't enter his artifact.
The artifact and his storage ring are essentially made up of space energy and in a space distortion like this, it is interfering with it, not allowing him to enter the artifact or access his storage ring.
*thrisssh* *thrissh* Huh? Zhao Tian glanced around and saw the space itself in the control room breaking into glass-shard-like fragments.
*thrisssh* Suddenly he looked at his arm flying away and his mind finally registered the pain.
The space around him is twisting and convulsing, ripping him apart from all directions...
The space around him twisted and folded, and his legs buckled as the floor beneath him disintegrated into shards of glass, his body flailing helplessly as he was ripped in multiple directions at once.
"Urghhh!" His vision darkened, and the sound of the ark's alarms faded into the distance as his mind struggled to stay conscious.
Not being able to escape anywhere, he got caught in this... rupture.
