Global Freeze: I built a doomsday safe house

Zhang Yi's gaze darkened slightly.

He has shattered the Heavenly Dao Ring more than ten times in a row, each time sweeping the module remnants into the Netherworld, and even tearing open and devouring the core.

However, as long as materials exist and the central hub in the sky continues to operate, the Heavenly Ring can extract resources from the desert and ruins, repair itself, and replicate itself.

This is an immortal structure.

It is also the most stubborn thorn in the side of the sand-scavenging civilization.

Zhang Yi touched a speck of dust that had been splashed in the air with his finger. The entire city of yellow sand had been completely destroyed by their battle.

The Sand Raiders' architecture was extremely robust; even the concrete they used was eras ahead of Earth's.

Despite the frenzied clash between Zhang Yi and the Heavenly Dao Ring, the building was not completely destroyed and still retains some remains.

Zhang Yi felt that this was also a treasure of civilization, and when he decided to leave, he wanted to take everything with him.

Setting aside other thoughts, he needed to focus on the battle at hand. He quickly came to a conclusion.

All eighteen modules must be destroyed at once; no shortcuts or tricks will work.

If even one is missed, it will regenerate like a virus.

Therefore, Zhang Yi abandoned his original idea of ​​having Yang Xinxin infect Tiandao Huan with a memetic virus.

The construction of the Heavenly Ring clearly took this possibility into account.

It can detach from its modules at any time and then manufacture new parts.

This makes it impossible for rule-based abilities to control.

"In the end, is it still necessary to resort to brute force? Fine."

"After all, a backward civilization like the Earthlings is far too inferior to an advanced civilization like the Sand Raiders in terms of intelligence!"

Zhang Yi never thought he was the only smart person in the world. But even fools have their methods.

He slowly raised the sword of eternal judgment.

The etheric membrane bulged slightly around his body, and the formless realm extended outward, with invisible engravings etched into space.

The sword's blade glowed with a deep blue light, and the dark currents of the Netherworld flowed upstream along its spine.

"Boundless Sword Domain".

He spoke in a low voice.

The world was plunged into darkness.

In the next instant, countless blue sword shadows grew out of the void, soaring into the sky before falling from the heights and piercing the boundaries of the surrounding space.

The sword shadows solidified, forming an enormous sword arena.

The circular blue sword wall towered like a mountain, layered like the ancient Roman Colosseum, with countless energy swords suspended in the air, forming arcs, pillars, and arrays, completely sealing off the entire battlefield.

Each sword is like an independent node, forming a closed spatial structure where external energy cannot penetrate and internal energy has nowhere to escape.

The Heavenly Ring was trapped in the very center of this sword domain.

The light from the eighteen spheres became cold and blinding under the reflection of the sword wall, and the ring structure rotated more rapidly, as if it realized that it had been pulled out of the world and thrown into an execution ground alone.

The sandstorm outside the depression hit the sword wall and was silently shredded, not even a speck of dust could get in.

The Boundless Sword Domain has been completed.

This is a variant of Zhang Yi's spatial ability, [Boundless Coffin], which can bind both the opponent and himself within the same space.

Here, he doesn't have any attribute bonuses, but he has one advantage—he can absorb all the energy that overflows during battle.

The Heavenly Ring slowly rotated, sensing the changes in the surrounding scenery, and immediately launched a counterattack.

The storm erupted again, this time the wind blades were compressed to the extreme, turning into countless tiny, needle-like rays of gale that swept across the narrow, enclosed space, each one capable of splitting rocks.

The interior of the sword domain instantly transformed into a terrifying meat grinder.

The blue swords trembled together, emitting a clear and melodious sword cry, using the array of fluctuations to dissipate the wind pressure and break down the gale layer by layer.

The flame module took over, and a dazzling ball of light rose from the center of the ring, like a small sun suddenly expanding. The flames surged and burned throughout the entire sword domain, with a terrifying temperature that could evaporate an ocean.

Dense blue patterns appeared on the surface of the sword wall, forcibly tearing and diverting the flames, guiding them into the Netherworld Interlayer.

Lightning bolts pierced through the air, countless thick lightning pillars plunging from the outside of the ring straight into the interior of the sword domain. Each bolt of lightning possessed earth-shattering power, illuminating the blue sea of ​​swords until it turned pale, as if the world consisted only of electricity and light.

Zhang Yi walked forward in the thunderstorm, his Taixu bathrobe concealing all the lightning flashes in darkness, his steps firm as if walking on flat ground.

Gravity twisted and distorted wildly, turning some areas of the Sword Domain into abysses in an instant, while others were as light as a vacuum. The Heavenly Ring attempted to tear apart the spatial structure with violent changes in gravity, causing the Boundless Sword Domain to collapse on its own.

With a thought from Zhang Yi, the structure of the sword domain was slightly adjusted. Tens of thousands of energy swords seemed to breathe in sync, responding elastically. Gravity lines were constantly cut and recombined, and all tears were stitched back together.

The magnetic shockwaves exploded in concentric circles, and large sparks flew across the surface of the blue sword. The Heavenly Ring attempted to disrupt the energy flow of the sword domain, causing it to become disordered and self-destruct.

But each impact was channeled into the sword's domain, becoming Zhang Yi's fuel.

The spatial distortion finally reached its limit, and the Heavenly Dao Ring suddenly contracted, compressing the entire ring structure into a distorted beam of light that pierced down towards Zhang Yi's location, as if to penetrate him along with the entire sword domain and shatter him into irreversible spatial fragments.

When this strike landed, time within the Boundless Sword Domain seemed to be torn apart, and overlapping images appeared in the vision, as if the heavens and earth were about to be twisted apart.

Zhang Yi parried with a single sword strike.

The Sword of Judgment and the twisted beam of light collided violently.

The blue sea of ​​swords trembled, each sword emitting a deep resonance. Countless sword shadows overlapped like waves, gradually grinding the spatial spear into countless fragmented streams of light, which were then absorbed back into the domain's core.

The fierce battle continues.

The storm roared, flames rolled, thunder howled, gravity reversed, magnetic fields exploded, and space twisted into terrifying ripples. The entire Boundless Sword Domain seemed to be dragged into an endless apocalyptic experiment.

Every single second, the energy pouring out from the Heavenly Dao Ring is being absorbed by the Sword Domain, contained by the Void Bath Robe, and quietly accumulated by the Dark Tide of the Netherworld.

Time passed amidst the standoff between the individual and the Dao Ring.

In this realm, battles are rarely decided in an instant, because both Zhang Yi, the top combatant of the Earthlings, and the Heavenly Dao Ring, the crystallization of the advanced intelligence of the Sand Raider civilization, are machines born for combat.

Their abilities have been honed and refined countless times. They strive to achieve perfection, making it difficult to find any flaws in either their attacks or defenses.

The battle lasted for a full half hour.

The outside world could not see what was happening inside. They could only vaguely see that inside the arena, which was made of blue sword light, thunder, fire and storms roared in turn, and the entire sand sea around it continued to collapse, like a silent world destruction factory.
