Richard and Wuding are already hundreds of millions or even tens of billions of kilometers away from Norland at this moment. Generally speaking, when you arrive in this area, you can already vaguely perceive some nascent planes, or some weak planes hidden in the dark. They're places that the average legendary powerhouse wants to explore. Moreover, this place is already quite dangerous for ordinary legendary powerhouses, and if you are not careful, you may fall.

Once in this zone, Richard's advantages became more and more obvious.

Armed with magic and a strong body, Richard has the ability to fight in close combat and defense on par with veteran legendary warriors. In terms of external protection, mages have a lot more powerful means than warriors. Richard now has several layers of protection than the others, and is naturally extremely safe. Moreover, Richard has the three rule powers of order, chaos and neutrality at the same time, and he is comfortable in the void no matter what situation he encounters.

In some dangerous areas, a strong person like Wuding can only take a detour, but Richard can take her to break through. In this way, Richard can advance much faster in the void space than Wude.

The two of them were moving at full speed, occasionally encountering powerhouses from other races and other main planes along the way. Richard didn't pay any attention to anyone other than to kill a Majin legend of Daxoldas.

As long as these guys aren't stupid enough to provoke themselves. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, both Richard and Wuding let out a wisp of breath. This can unmistakably tell someone about their own level of power.

For example, Richard is only level 23, and indefinite is a real level of 28. No one will come and provoke a super strong person without anything.

In the void, Richard's figure flickered and flickered, and every flicker would be thousands of kilometers away, and it would be gone in an instant. When they get tired, they go back to the half-plane to rest.

Richard did not open Helen Sue's half-plane to the uncertain. Anyway, his half-plane resources were already too rich, and the mana pools on the upper and lower floors had already been filled with pool water, and the surplus energy was constantly forming various high-purity magic crystals at the bottom of the pool.

The super strong are powerful, and the consumption is terrifying. Wu will definitely drink up one of the mana pools directly, and he will have to swallow a lot of magic crystals raw to fully replenish the body's consumption.

Richard consumed even more than she did. Dozens of energy-absorbing trees can absorb enough energy in a day. It can also be seen from this that the cost of plane exploration is huge. If nothing is gained, then the empty-handed mage will lose a lot.

Richard's body also recovered faster than Wude's. Whenever he waited for his body to recharge, Richard would go to StarClan's library, sometimes continuing to read the eleven books that had been unsealed, and sometimes trying to crack the eight books on a higher level.

Su Helen stopped at this level. However, Richard estimated that Su Helen might be close to cracking the fourth layer, and there were about twelve books at that level, and the rule power contained in it could definitely make her combat power improve by leaps and bounds again.

Time passed day by day.

In the void, the strongest are most afraid of two things, disorientation and loss of time. And Richard now finally realized the benefits of the title of Space Lord, which not only gave Richard powerful spatial abilities, but also doubled Richard's speed when analyzing and controlling spatial rules. In the end, as long as it was within the divine power of the dragon of eternity and time, Richard would never have to worry about getting lost.

However, during his travels, Richard found that his progress in cracking the third layer was surprisingly slow. He simply changed directions, trying to find out why the cracking was slow, and finally found that his level was not enough.

If the level of magic or fighting spirit is not enough, it will not be able to suppress the changes in those star runes in the protection mechanism. Whenever Richard came close to cracking it, it would forcibly switch to a new rule that would undo Richard's efforts. Richard immediately judged that only when the magic power reached level 25 or above could the change in the protective shield be effectively suppressed.

It can be inferred from this that the fourth layer of protection mechanism may need to be level 30 to open. Although the rules of the protection mechanism are always limited and regular, as long as there is a rule, it can be cracked by Richard, but then it may take more than a dozen or even decades.

If Richard had stopped at level 23 in his life, he could have tried this stupid solution. However, now the rule power controlled by Richard has far exceeded the level that the current level should be, and his body has also been completely transformed by the heart of the demon lord.

It can be said that the two major obstacles that caused the bottleneck of escalation, the body and the comprehension of the power of the rules, did not exist in Richard. As long as the mana is accumulated enough, Richard can go straight to level 29 without stopping.

For the average strong, the real bottleneck is not the body, but the control of the rules. Only when the control is strong enough can you control the soaring power. The body, on the other hand, needs to be strong enough to carry the power, so that it will not be overwhelmed by energy after upgrading.

However, Noland has many ways to artificially strengthen his body, and some other planes, especially those known for their chaotic power, have even more such means. As long as the legendary powerhouse is determined, they can even change into the body of an Angela worm, and then they can go straight to level 29 like Richard without creating a physical bottleneck.

But rules, only rules, cannot rely on external forces, can only be learned and mastered by oneself. That's why StarClan's ancient library has a protective mechanism.

The ancestors were afraid that the latecomers would be too ambitious, so they went to read the classics that far exceeded their own power level, and then they would be directly killed by the rule power that far exceeded their ability to control.

Most of the Stars' libraries are naturally neutral rules, but there are also a few rules of order and chaos. Either way, Richard doesn't see it as an obstacle right now. With the help of the ancient real platform, the speed at which he parses the rules can be increased several times. And high-speed analysis itself is an exercise in his intellectual talent.

On the other hand, Richard also discovered that the gift of intelligence also has a certain dependence on the body. When he became physically stronger, the promotion of intellectual talent became significantly easier. In the case of a certain talent for intelligence and a desire to speed up the ability to parse, the brood actually provided a viable path for Richard. That is to increase the volume of the brain, or simply to add more brains.

The single brain of the brood is only equivalent to Richard with a fourth-level intelligence talent, but due to its huge size, the brood has generated tens of thousands of brains directly in the body, and it is still increasing, and it is likely to exceed 100,000 now. The 100,000 Thinking Centers were connected into a large net, and their analytical and computing capabilities reached the level of the terrifying Tenth-Order Wisdom Talent. That's four times as many as Richard's current one.

So many times Richard was hesitant to make his body huge. The benefits of being huge are clear. Some minor inconveniences can be negligible compared to the benefits.

However, the need for this is not very urgent now, and the real urgency is to increase the level of mana. After figuring this out, Richard let go of the cracks on the third layer of protection, walked out of the library, and went directly to the top of the half-dimensional Mana Mountain, and then jumped into the already overflowing small lake, quietly sinking to the bottom of the lake, and lying on the thick layer of magic crystals.

Now that he was the master of this half-plane, when his perception was released, he immediately felt that the energy-absorbing forest was drawing energy from the huge void storm, and then transformed through the body of the guò tree, and then sent to various places in the half-plane through the roots of the dense network of guò.

The excess energy will be used to condense the earth element in the void, gradually increasing the area of the half-plane. The energy from the Tree of Energy continued to flow into the Lake of Mana, and poured out from the bottom of the lake, washing over Richard's body.

Richard slowly let go of the protection of his body, allowing this purest attributeless magic to enter his body, gradually transforming his body tissue.

Under the influence of magic, Richard could feel the changes in the tiniest cells of his flesh, and extremely fine crystals appeared in them, and some cells even began to crystallize gradually. However, during the crystallization of each cell, Richard's Sall Rivendell real name releases an extremely subtle divine rune that imprints the inside of the cell.

So this crystallization is different from losing life, and Richard can still feel his control over every part, even the fully crystallized cells. The blood in his body is constantly circulating, and each time it flows, it will take away some of the grains in the cells and transport them to other parts for storage, or directly use them to modify the body structure.

In this process, Richard's body is constantly moving closer to elementalization, but it is not the same as complete elementalization. As a result, his physical strength slowly increased again, and his magic power continued to grow, far faster than normal meditation.

This process can be quite risky, and the key lies in the power of Salon Rivendell's real name. If it weren't for the fact that his real name gave life to every tiniest part, then this crystallization would really be crystallization, and it would have washed Richard's flesh and blood directly into pieces of magic crystals.

Richard silently calculated the time, he should be able to use this quick way to increase his magic power to level 24 before he reached the Eternal Vortex, so that he would have a greater certainty of surviving in the Eternal Vortex.

After another moment, Richard felt the call from Wu Ding, and knew that she had finished resting. So he returned to his half-plane, activated the teleportation magic array, returned to the place where the coordinates had been set with Wude, and then continued to travel in the direction of the Eternal Vortex.

In this way, day and night, one day, Richard suddenly asked, "Isn't it far from the eternal vortex?"

"Half a day away. ”

"In addition to the various chaos monsters, what dangers are we likely to encounter?"

Wu Ding said: "Those who killed Su Hailun." (To be continued)
