Chapter 1236: Stormwall
The Yphelion hurtled forward at full speed, only narrowly outpacing the explosion triggered by their forceful seal on space. Zac looked at the monitor displaying the position they'd just left.
Two streams of supercondensed energy poured in opposite directions like a miniature quasar. Even if the scales were smaller, the torrential streams already stretched thousands of miles and kept going. Thankfully, neither pointed in their direction. The billowing shockwave of unfettered energy was more than enough to make Zac's hair stand on end.
It was a churning mix of the greenish energy cluster they'd parked inside and a mottled concoction of purple and grey. The other energy came from whatever dimension pushed against the larvae's seal until it gave way. The whole thing incessantly flickered from thousands of Spatial Tears forming and shattering every second.
Massive pieces of rubble were also in the mix, rapidly ground to the fine dust that suffused the Imperial Graveyard. Zac suspected a Mystic Realm or Trove had been dragged into the spatial well and torn apart, which would explain the rife resentment. An anomaly like the rotten eye was sure to condense as soon as the mayhem calmed down. Only it wouldn't get the chance.
Zac turned to the large projection displaying the view ahead, seeing a towering wall peeking through the haze. It was the storm formation they'd hoped to avoid, appearing like a smooth barrier because of the distance. It was large beyond belief, stretching in every direction seemingly without beginning or end.
"It's like a wall guarding the inner parts of the graveyard," Joanna said.
"Are you certain it's thin enough to pass through? Something that size looks like it could take days to traverse," Zac said.
"The dense section we avoided would have taken us just over an hour to pass. The optimal window was a weak spot that only needed half that time. Right now, we're looking at a full crossing in forty minutes, with energy intensity roughly in the middle."
"I don't know much about space, but can this really be a natural formation?" Kruta asked. "Never heard of anything like it. Seems like it should collapse in this wretched place."
