Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 365 - 263: Earth Abyss Star

Ji Xinghuo didn’t have to wait too long.

On the morning of the third day, the Eternal Day Badge gently vibrated and issued an order. The motel he was staying at was not far from the assembly point; just a few minutes’ walk took him to the foot of Light Peak.

In a small square, six Crystal Elite Clan Guards were waiting.

Other people arrived one by one.

Ji Xinghuo observed the others; they were all masters of at least Fourth Rank and the elite among their peers, including quite a few Legendary figures of Fifth Rank with formidable strength, but there were no Heavenly Kings of Sixth Rank. Each person was wearing an Eternal Day Badge, and most of them looked relaxed, which suggested that it wasn’t their first time here.

In the end, more than a hundred people had gathered.

When the time came, one of the Crystal Elite Clan Guards said, "Please get on the vehicle."

Everyone boarded a large floating car parked nearby, standing on crystal panels, operated by the Crystal Elite Clan Guards, slowly gliding into a majestic crystal fortress.

Ji Xinghuo curiously observed his surroundings; this place was a blind spot in his electromagnetic induction.

After entering, he found the place filled with machine sentinels.

These crystal sculpture-like sentinels, rows after rows, stood in every corner of the fortress, emitting subtle energy fluctuations that secretly alarmed him when they gathered together. Besides the sentinels, there were Crystal Elite Clan Guards patrolling and crystal arrays suspended in the air above their heads.

The floating car traveled through the heavily defended fortress and finally arrived in front of a large crystal gate at the foot of a mountain cliff, guarded by no fewer than twelve Crystal Elite Clan Guards.

The two leading guards were of Heavenly King Level!

Here, everyone had their Eternal Day Badges checked again before the command was given to open the gate.

Behind the door was a seemingly bottomless corridor, which the floating car entered, with walls made of crystal on all sides, brightly lit. Not too far along, they were stopped by another crystal gate, also guarded by Crystal Elite Clan Guards, who were needed to open it.

The short journey of a few kilometers took almost half an hour as the floating car passed through six gates.

Finally, they arrived inside the mountain of Light Peak.

A gigantic enclosed space appeared before them, a hexagonal columnar shape about two hundred meters in diameter and about the same in height. The six huge crystal walls of a hundred meters high were covered with hexagonal crystal patterns that reminded Ji Xinghuo of a honeycomb.

However, his gaze was immediately drawn to the dark sphere in the middle.

"Star Gate!"

The Earth Abyss Star’s Star Gate was similar to Earth’s.

It was a perfect sphere that did not reflect any light, dark as ink, but its diameter was much smaller than Earth’s Star Gate, only about twenty meters.

Beneath the Star Gate, a crystal ground had been constructed, surrounded by many Crystal Elite Clan Guards.

With a mere glance, Ji Xinghuo spotted five or six Heavenly King Level Crystal Elite Clans. Hiding behind the surrounding walls were even more powerful beings and a colossal energy weapon system.

The passage they had entered was just one of many; in other directions, there were several other passages.

Under the watchful eyes of the Heavenly King Crystal Elite Clan, Ji Xinghuo followed the crowd and approached the Star Gate.

"One at a time."

The Guard shouted, forming the Eternal Day Guardians into three lines.

Ji Xinghuo stood in the middle of the queue, watching as the person in front vanished one by one rapidly. Soon it was his turn; this wasn’t his first time passing through a Star Gate. He reached out and touched it, the scenery before his eyes twisted, a whirlwind spun him around, and when he regained his vision, he had arrived somewhere else.

"Move forward."

Ji Xinghuo looked around and realized that this too was a massive enclosed space.

It was a hexagonal columnar space, similar in size to that of Eternal Day City, with powerful Crystal Elite Clan Guards scattered around.

But he immediately noticed a difference.

"Gravity is stronger."

After only a few steps, Ji Xinghuo found that the gravity here was slightly heavier than on Earth or in the Star Realm, around 1.3 times that of Earth’s.

The oxygen content in the air was very high, even higher than on Earth, likely above 30%.

He adapted after a few breaths, but there was a strange smell, faint, indicating the presence of other unknown components in the air.

"Sulfur dioxide, or carbon dioxide?"

"I won’t get poisoned, will I?"

Ji Xinghuo couldn’t help but worry; these two gases were the "oxygen" for silicon-based lifeforms, but for humans, while the effects were tolerable at low concentrations, at high concentrations, they were poisonous and could cause cancer with prolonged exposure. Although with his physical condition, the chance of getting cancer was very low, it could still weaken his strength.

Everyone got on another large floating bus, similar to Earth’s buses, and left the space near the Star Gate through one of the surrounding passages.

Ji Xinghuo’s electromagnetic induction scanned the bus beneath him, discovering superconductors and motors, as well as applications of Ether Technology.

The Crystal Elite Clan had combined the two technologies.

If one didn’t observe carefully, it would be hard to spot any difference from the floating cars in the Star Realm.

Passing through more strict gates, these were powered by electric energy and were made of alloy, and he saw familiar electronic systems.

A moment later.

The bus emerged from the last gate, several meters thick and blast-proof, then entered another corridor, accelerating as it climbed upwards.

Ji Xinghuo watched the metal walls flash by outside and the angle of the bus’s ascent, guessing that this place was deep in the earth’s crust.

Yet, it was deeper than he expected.

The floating bus climbed for a full half-hour before, suddenly, the vista opened up, revealing a city, built in the same style as Eternal Day City: bright and magnificent. The difference was that looking up, there was no sky, only a fully enclosed crystal dome.

This was an underground city!

The city wasn’t large; the entire underground space was about two to three kilometers in diameter, and the streets were filled with various members of Alien Races, all wearing the Eternal Day Badge.

"It must be a small city built specially for the Eternal Day Guardians, almost like a military barracks,"

Ji Xinghuo guessed.

Thinking from another perspective, if aliens were allowed to enter Earth, they would definitely be quarantined.

The bus stopped in a square, and the Eternal Day Guardians got off one after another, dispersing into the surrounding area with practiced ease, while the Crystal Elite Clan guards let them go.

"New Eternal Day Guardians to Earth Abyss Star, come with me," said a Crystal Elite Clan guard.

Ji Xinghuo and about a dozen others followed him.

Inside a grand hall next to the square, the Crystal Elite Clan guard handed out two items to each person. One was a band about two fingers wide, made of a silver-white metal material that could be worn on the arm like a watch, automatically contracting to the right length.

"This is an Internal Circulation Zone,"

the Crystal Elite Clan guard explained, "It comes with ’Internal Circulation Breathing,’ which, in conjunction with the Star Gland, lets Star Power replace your metabolic consumption without the need for breathing the outside air, allowing energy to circulate within the body, preventing poisoning."

Ji Xinghuo was surprised in his heart.

He knew it was a piece of Superpower Equipment as soon as he took it, but it was unlike regular Superpower Equipment, integrating ability with high technology.

It could only be rated as Superpower One Star, yet the effect was so magical.

He wrapped the Internal Circulation Zone around his arm, and it immediately contracted and connected, fitting snugly against his skin as if embedded into his flesh, yet without any pain.

There was a button on the Internal Circulation Zone, which Ji Xinghuo pressed lightly.

Instantly, he felt his breathing change, experiencing a brief sensation of suffocation, but within a few seconds, his Star Gland was stimulated, evenly releasing Star Power with each breath, entering his lungs and merging into his bloodstream, circulating within his body without affecting any functions.

His nostrils still habitually breathed, but no air was coming in; the sensation was quite magical.

"Impressive!"

Ji Xinghuo praised silently.

This gave him a more direct understanding of the Crystal Elite Clan’s technology; having this Internal Circulation Zone solved many issues.

The new Eternal Day Guardians were all getting used to Internal Circulation Breathing.

Ji Xinghuo opened the interface of Wanxiang Star Pupil, and after about three minutes, Star Power had decreased by 1 point, which was negligible for him.

Before the next point of Star Power was depleted, the just consumed Star Power had already recovered.

"No wonder only Fourth Rank Evolvers and above can become Eternal Day Guardians," he realized, as those below Fourth Rank lacked the Star Gland and couldn’t use the Internal Circulation Zone—it wouldn’t sustain such a rate of Star Power consumption even if forcibly used.

Even for Fourth Rank Evolvers, they had to have a substantial amount of Star Power to keep the respiratory Internal Circulation open at all times.

However, if a battle occurred and Star Power was consumed in large quantities beyond quick recovery, the Internal Circulation Zone might be forced to stop.

Then came the second item.

A Crystal Chip the size of a fingernail. Following the Crystal Elite Clan’s instructions, Ji Xinghuo placed it on his right temple, where it melded into his skin like a piece of ice, leaving a white patch on the temple, then there were no other reactions.

"This is a positioning Crystal Chip, very important,"

the Crystal Elite Clan guard said. "It pinpoints your location on Earth Abyss Star and, when used together with the Eternal Day Badge, can enable communication, navigation, map access at any time, and log into the Sky Net of Earth Abyss Star. Most importantly, when you kill an enemy, it will automatically record the corresponding merit."

As an Earthling, Ji Xinghuo naturally knew that what they called a "Crystal Chip" was actually a personal terminal, akin to a mobile phone.

However, many Alien Races from the Star Realm found it quite novel.

Especially for those Highlanders from less advanced civilizations, they were utterly shocked by this technology, even somewhat fearful.

"Guards who have mastered the use of the Crystal Chip, you can go to the side hall first,"

"Remember to check the information."

Ji Xinghuo walked into the side hall, where he met a Heavenly King Level humanoid from the Crystal Elite Clan. Its gaze was kind yet filled with an indescribable presence, and it said to him, "Please, come over."

"Look at me."

As Ji Xinghuo drew near and met its gaze,

an invisible surge of spiritual will, like a torrent, poured into his brain, carrying consciousness information with it, like a psychic brand, commanding him to not reveal anything he saw on Earth Abyss Star after leaving, whether through speech, writing, or other forms of suggestion, at the subjective level.

Even when facing other Eternal Day Guardians, he could not communicate related information.

However, it was not restricted on Earth Abyss Star itself.

Ji Xinghuo felt a momentary daze in his spirit.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself already outside, standing at the entrance to the grand hall. Others stood nearby, their eyes unfocused and faces blank.

"So that’s how it is!"

Only then did he understand why those who had been to Earth Abyss Star could not disclose anything.

The Heavenly King Crystal Elite was a Mind Hacker who had placed a powerful psychic suggestion on each Eternal Day Guardian to protect the secrets of Earth Abyss Star.

However, it seemed to have no effect on him.

"Heh heh..."

Ji Xinghuo chuckled softly; how could a mere Heavenly King Level Mind Hacker penetrate the psychic protection of Wanxiang Star Pupil?

He pretended as if nothing had happened and left the grand hall.

Walking down the street with the Eternal Day Badge in hand, a screen popped up in front of Ji Xinghuo. He skillfully operated it, logging onto Earth Abyss Star’s Sky Net and found that he could only access certain websites and forums. Entering the official website of the Eternal Day Guardians, he quickly found the information he was looking for.

After reading through the materials, Ji Xinghuo could not help exclaiming, "Earth Abyss Star is actually like this..."
