Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

"This is it! There's no mistake!"

Xu Hao's voice was hoarse from exhaustion, but it carried an overwhelming sense of elation at grasping at a straw.

He stared intently at the soft white light, as if afraid it would vanish at any moment. The faint yet incredibly real aura emanating from the detection necklace was the only beacon in the darkness.

He no longer hesitated, nor could he afford to hesitate any longer; every second of delay could completely sever this fragile connection.

He turned around abruptly, his bloodshot eyes sweeping over his equally exhausted companions behind him, their eyes filled with a mixture of despair and hope.

"Come with me! This is the way home!"

There were no elaborate explanations, but the thrill of escaping from a desperate situation touched everyone.

The group mustered their strength, supported each other, and followed closely behind Xu Hao, heading without hesitation toward the wormhole that emitted a steady white light.

Xu Hao took a deep breath and reached out his hand towards the white light first.

The touch was not the ethereal sensation I had imagined, but rather a peculiar, warm feeling, like being immersed in warm water with a slight suction.

Without pausing for a moment, he stepped in.

Immediately afterward, the people behind them filed in. The moment they stepped into the wormhole, the cold, stagnant, and chaotic energy-filled environment of the unknown dark palace around them vanished as if a mute button had been pressed.

Instead, there is an indescribable feeling of being enveloped, as if sinking into a warm and viscous fluid, and the concepts of time and space begin to blur.

As far as the eye could see, there was only flowing, pure white light, with occasional streaks of color flashing by like swimming fish.

My body felt as if it were being stretched and compressed by an invisible force, and my internal organs felt a slight sense of dislocation. But overall, the process was relatively smooth, and even carried a strange sense of peace.

Xu Hao could feel it: ahead! Home was just ahead!!

However, just as they felt their bodies gradually stabilizing and seemed about to complete this interdimensional teleportation and arrive at that familiar world, a sudden and extremely violent energy wave swept in from the front, which was their destination—the real world—like a tsunami!

This energy fluctuation was extremely peculiar, carrying an aura that was both pure and destructive, unlike any energy sensed before.

Almost at the same instant the fluctuation occurred, the white light channel where Xu Hao and the others were located began to tremble violently! The originally gentle white light suddenly became dazzling, interspersed with countless wildly flickering speckles of colored light, like a screen with a poor signal.

The smooth sense of transport was completely gone, replaced by a violent, dizzying jolt and tearing sensation! It was as if they were not riding a stable spatial passage, but a small boat that could capsize at any moment in a raging storm!

"Ugh!" Someone let out a painful groan as their body was tossed and slammed by an invisible force.

Xu Hao's expression changed drastically. He could clearly feel that the energy impact from the outside world was violently interfering with the originally stable spatial path in a way that he could not understand!

The energy structure that makes up the channel is becoming extremely unstable, groaning under the strain, as if it might break or collapse at any moment!

The faint sensory line connecting them to the Director-General was instantly submerged by the raging energy torrent, becoming chaotic and volatile, like a spider's web in a storm, on the verge of snapping. They were trapped in a collapsing spatial passage, battered by the energy storm of the real world!

……

Meanwhile, in the real world, the atmosphere in the control tower of the aircraft carrier Henan was extremely tense.

"Target locked and stable!"

"Missile system self-test complete, ready!"

"Launch procedure authorization confirmed!"

With the commander's order, a cold, electronic voice rang out: "Fire!"

The engines of several J-35S "Sea Eagle" fighter jets roared deafeningly, scorching air jets billowing backward. Almost simultaneously, the Qiling Stone missiles, gleaming with an eerie silver-gray luster, fixed under the fuselage, detached from their pylons, their tails spewing blazing flames and leaving long contrails, piercing the night sky at astonishing speed, heading straight for the ominous giant eye hovering over Miami!

The missiles travel at extremely high speeds and, guided by advanced guidance systems, precisely strike their targets. They do not directly impact the giant eye itself, but rather detonate almost simultaneously in a predetermined airspace at a certain distance from the outer energy field of the giant eye!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any dazzling flames.

Instead, several extremely bright and pure energy orbs suddenly appeared, like miniature suns blooming in the sky.

Inside these spheres of light, countless fine, dust-like powders of Enlightenment Stones and small raw stones instantly released unknown energy that was completely opposite to the nature of the Giant Eye's energy field.

This high-density energy was like cold water thrown into boiling oil, instantly clashing violently with the massive and eerie energy field surrounding the giant eye!

Two completely opposite energies frantically annihilated, repelled, and surged against each other, forming a silent yet incredibly violent energy storm.

Visibly, the relatively stable space around the giant eye began to distort violently, rippling outwards in circles of destructive energy waves, spreading in all directions like a tsunami!

The power of this energy storm far surpasses that of any conventional weapon, directly impacting space itself!

Almost at the same instant that the Enlightenment Stone missile detonated and the energy storm erupted in the real world—

Xu Hao and the others, who were being transported through the white light channel, suddenly felt a violent energy shockwave coming from the direction of the channel's "exit," which is the real world Earth. It was like the most ferocious tsunami, crashing heavily into the spatial channel they were in!

"boom--!!!"

This is not sound, but a violent vibration that directly affects the soul and senses!

The once gentle and stable white light channel, like a warm current, instantly became like a wrecked ship in a raging storm!

The pure white light that formed the passage flickered and twisted wildly, and countless dazzling, chaotic colored spots and pitch-black cracks appeared out of thin air, intertwining wildly, as if it would shatter completely at any moment!

The passage violently jolted, shook, and even began to twist and deform irregularly! Xu Hao and the others felt as if they had been thrown into a washing machine, their world spinning around them, their bodies being roughly pulled, squeezed, and tossed about by invisible forces, their internal organs displaced, and excruciating pain spreading throughout their bodies.

"what!"

"what happened?!"

"Stay calm! Grab onto the person next to you!"

Exclamations and groans of pain rang out amidst the chaos!

Lin Ya instinctively gripped Xu Hao's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh, her face as pale as paper. Shi Shaowei and the others also staggered, trying desperately to steady themselves, but they were as powerless as leaves in the wind.

What made Xu Hao's heart sink even more was that the light on the detection necklace around his neck, which had just established a weak connection, dimmed instantly, like a candle flame blown out by a strong wind!

The faint guiding aura emanating from the Director General was completely dispersed, submerged, and severed by the violent energy storm emanating from the direction of Earth!

Contact... is lost!

The passage... is collapsing!

Xu Hao's face turned extremely grim. He instantly realized that the source of this sudden change was Earth!

It is because some extremely violent energy event has occurred in the real world, with an intensity sufficient to interfere with or even destroy this interdimensional space passage!
