Western region of the Vortex Plane Sea.

"In over five years, I’ve only acquired thirty-four pieces of Law Treasure, and converted to Law Values, it’s only a total of ninety-three."

Lor emerged from the spatial rift, overlooking the whirlpool-covered sea, pondering silently: "This amount of Law Value is a drop in the bucket for me, practically useless."

"From now on, I might as well stop deliberately snatching Tier Seven Treasures; it’s better to spend that time reflecting on the Origin Container."

In the past five years, he had roughly searched the entire Vortex Plane Sea, recording the odd fluctuation and contraction times of twelve Tier Eight Law Treasures, and also snatched thirty-four Tier Seven Law Treasures.

Compared to the fixed twelve Tier Eight Treasures, Tier Seven Treasures, though more abundant, are actually harder to find, requiring a long time to locate a single one, though snatching them is relatively easier.

More importantly, as his actions progressed, the Tier Seven Treasures protected by more than ten Tide Spirits gradually decreased, making future acquisitions even slower.

Upon careful calculation, it’s more worthwhile to search for Tier Eight Treasures roughly every five hundred years, record the time when the strange fluctuations disappear, and then use the remaining time for reflecting on the Origin Container.

When the odd fluctuations of the Tier Eight Treasures end, I’ll try to snatch them then.

As for Tier Seven Treasures, if I sense them while searching for Tier Eight Treasures, I’ll take them as they come; if not, it’s fine.

"Now there’s two hundred and twelve years until the next disappearance of a Tier Eight Treasure’s odd fluctuation, I’ll go and snatch it then." Decided, Lor leapt high into the air.

The closer to the sea level of the Vortex Plane Sea, the easier it was to be discovered by Tide Spirits and other civilization’s Tier Seven Cultivators.

The farther away, the quieter it was, without worry of disturbances.

...

Wizard Calendar year 12,570.

The eastern part of Plane Sea No. 758, at the edge of a central plane of a medium-sized Plane Group.

"Whoosh—"

Seemingly endless storms wrapped in yellow sand swept across every land of this desert-filled continent.

Vaguely, some peculiar creatures could be seen wriggling in the desert. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

These beings resembled earthworms in shape, but the shortest one was over a hundred meters long, emitting at least Tier One creature aura, with the highest reaching Tier Three.

They would occasionally poke their heads out of the sand, opening their mouths that occupied ninety percent of their facial area to absorb the omnipresent wind and sand, enjoying themselves leisurely.

"Tear—"

At this moment, a jet-black spatial rift, about ten thousand miles wide, suddenly tore open at the edge of the Plane Barrier.

As soon as the rift appeared, hundreds of sand worm creatures looked over blankly, not knowing what had happened.

The next instant, one hundred and one peculiar flying devices, varying in size and covered with layered Defense Barriers, suddenly flew out from the spatial rift.

Inside the central control room of the leading flying device, one thousand two hundred and twenty-three Mechanical Wizards, clad in silver Wizard Robes with triple-ringed collars, each extended their senses, controlling their respective parts of the Magic Array.

At the forefront, the sole middle-aged Mechanical Wizard with a four-ringed collar swiftly issued a command through sensing: "Attention all units, activate the Tier Six Life Matrix to protect the spatial rift from interference, initiate joint detection amplification, help me extend my senses to the utmost, report the preheating progress of each Elemental Energy Cannon."

Following the middle-aged Mechanical Wizard’s command, a hundred variously shaped War Fortresses suddenly released a unified green Barrier.

Once converged, this originally 6.1-ring Defense Shield’s strength seemed to surge to 6.9 rings, enveloping them and the spatial rift entirely.

Simultaneously, his perception abruptly soared from a hundred thousand miles to nearly three million miles, leaving nothing above or below undetected.

Additionally, successive, almost overlapping reports reached his ears.

"Number two has preheated three Elemental Cannons: Fire, Ice, and Thunder, ready to fire, awaiting commander’s targeting coordination."

"Number three has preheated two Elemental Cannons: Light and Dark, ready to fire, awaiting commander’s targeting coordination."

"Number four has preheated..."

...

"Number one hundred has preheated..."

...

At the same time.

At the center of the desert continent, seventy-three hundred thousand miles from the spatial rift.

"Roar—"

A sand worm, over a hundred miles long, raised its head, looking towards the direction of the spatial rift’s emergence, letting out an earth-shaking roar, with a terrifying storm brewing in its mouth.

Beside it, seven sand worms emitting Tier Five auras surfaced one after another; although they couldn’t perceive the presence of War Fortresses, they began brewing storms in their mouths, ready to incorporate them into the king’s attack.

Inside War Fortress No. 1, the four-ringed Mechanical Wizard decisively ordered: "Detected out-of-control Tier Six target, coordinates 133.21.335, suspected dual-element creature of earth and wind, Third Squad, fire the Golden Thunder Light Energy Cannon."

"Received."

"Received."

...

"Boom boom boom—"

On War Fortresses numbered 22 to 29, golden, purple, and white energy patterns flashed, instantly releasing twenty-one energy cannons with power reaching 6.1 rings.

Subsequently, every seven energy cannons of the same attribute merged en route to the seventy-three hundred thousand mile distant Tier Six creature, transforming into three energy beams with power reaching 6.4 rings.

On the other side, the Sand Worm King also unleashed its full attack, spewing endless wind and sand from its mouth, directly covering the three approaching beams.

The other seven Tier Five sand worms, seeing this, hastily infused their gathered sandstorms into the king’s sandstorm.
