Chapter 1678: The Red Dust Sovereign’s Trump Card

“You mean, on the flip side of the Lingxu Domain... there is another world built with formulas?”

Han Meng looked at the formula at the bottom of the floor tile and immediately understood Spade J’s meaning.

“Exactly.” Spade J nodded. “Discovering and summarizing patterns is the strength of our Yi Divine Path... If I hadn't discovered any clues after lurking in the Lingxu Domain for so long, I would be too much of a failure.”

“But the Lingxu Domain is only so big, where... exactly is that world?”

“That I don’t know.” Spade J sighed softly. “Perhaps only Lingxu Sovereign knows the way in.”

Han Meng frowned, as if lost in thought.

“What are you thinking?” Spade J asked.

“That world is in the Lingxu Domain, right?”

“Isn’t that what you just said? Since the domain of the Lingxu Domain is still there, it means Lingxu Sovereign is here. It’s very reasonable.”

“That world is composed of formulas, right?”

“Yes, every brick and wall here is embedded with formulas, so the structure of that world should be the same as the Lingxu Domain.”

“Then... do formulas glow?”

When Han Meng suddenly asked this, Spade J froze in place.

Do formulas glow?

What kind of question is that?

No...

Spade J seemed to realize something, staring at Han Meng’s eyes. “You mean...”

Han Meng moved his gaze away from the bottom of the floor tile, stood up, and went to the window of a street shop.

The window reflected Han Meng’s black figure and Spade J, who was confused behind him. After looking at it for a moment, Han Meng took it down directly!

Han Meng grabbed the window with both hands and shone it in all directions. When the angle of the mirror surface locked onto a certain direction, a look of shock appeared in Spade J’s eyes.

In the mirror’s reflection, besides him and Han Meng, there was actually a mysterious residual shadow flashing in the distance, and blurry explosions were bursting between the buildings, with dazzling light rushing into the sky... It was as if the light on the mirror surface was not only reflecting everything in the real world but also reflecting the situation in another world.

It was just that this mirror reflection was too weak; if one didn't observe carefully, one wouldn't notice it at all.

Han Meng bent down, scooped up some dust from a flower bed nearby, and blew it gently onto the window surface... The flying dust obscured the window, making the reflection completely unclear, but at the same time, a line of tiny formulas appeared in the corner.

n₁ sin(θ₁)= n₂ sin(θ₂)；

“Mathematical formulas themselves don’t glow; they can only change the direction of light.” Han Meng saw this line of formulas and spoke slowly. “So the light in the world they are in is created through reflectors... And the light path is reversible. Through reflectors, one can peek at everything happening in that world.”

At this moment, Spade J was completely impressed by Han Meng... In such a short time, the other party had already found that world. As expected of an inquisitor who could see through his own Red King’s disguise, few people could compare to him in investigation and control of details.

“So how is the battle going?”

Spade J immediately stepped forward and stared at the reflection in the window.

……

“Boom—!!!”

The earth-shattering explosion almost submerged the entire domain, with countless scorching suns hanging above the world, illuminating the Imaginary World as bright as day.

The world-destroying aura surged, but the "domain" below remained unscathed. Every brick and tile in the Imaginary World did not exist in reality but was a concrete manifestation of formulas, so naturally, it wouldn't be damaged by the explosion.

However, the next second, the largest sun in the sky began to collapse inward strangely. The heat formula seemed to be completely rewritten, and the flames began to turn cold...

A figure in monk robes stepped out from it!

He held the thermal radiation flux formula in his left hand and the shock wave overpressure equation in his right. Even though the nuclear explosion just now was enough to tear apart almost any carbon-based organism, it still didn't have much impact on him.

Then, the firelight behind him suddenly dissipated. A white-clad figure stepped on ripples, directly synchronizing all the surrounding explosions. The out-of-control energy was converted into controllable "strings" at this moment, gathered in the Red Dust Sovereign’s palm, and pressed lightly toward Lingxu Sovereign’s back.

With messy hair dancing in the air, Lingxu Sovereign’s hands changed formulas simultaneously, and he slapped back at the Red Dust Sovereign with one palm!

Thud—!!!

Two palms collided in the void, but the Red Dust Sovereign’s "strings" didn't cause any damage to Lingxu Sovereign. The terrifying energy was like a vast, rushing river crashing into a reef, and Lingxu Sovereign’s position happened to be right behind that reef...

The rushing energy poured out from both sides of him without a single drop splashing onto him. On his palm, a formula was shining brightly.

—String Vibration Energy Spectrum Formula.

“I understand you.” Lingxu Sovereign said indifferently. “Whether it’s string theory or materials science, I have studied them deeply... I understand all the underlying formulas of the scientific authority you possess. You... cannot win against me.”

The Red Dust Sovereign glared at Lingxu Sovereign but couldn't refute him at all.

In the final analysis, the power of the Nine Sovereigns all came from human scientific civilization, and mathematics was the foundation of all science. All the combat methods and trump cards of the Red Dust Sovereign and Wuji Jun had long been calculated by Lingxu Sovereign.

Science was their most powerful strength, but also their greatest weakness... Facing Lingxu Sovereign, the threat posed by their joint efforts might not even be as great as a Wang Calamity.

After all, Wang Calamity’s abilities didn't follow science at all.

“...Is that so?”

A cold light flashed in the Red Dust Sovereign’s eyes, and her palm suddenly hooked onto Lingxu Sovereign’s wrist!

“Then can you calculate this... with your formulas too?”

The next second,

Threads of embroidery burst from the Red Dust Sovereign’s palm, drilling directly into Lingxu Sovereign’s body along his arteries!

Lingxu Sovereign’s pupils contracted sharply.

This move indeed exceeded Lingxu Sovereign’s expectations. When he realized that the Red Dust Sovereign’s threads were beginning to invade his body, the blood vessels in half of his arm had already been penetrated by the threads, and like a deadly poison, they were drilling toward his heart!

Lingxu Sovereign’s reaction was extremely fast. A flash of ruthlessness crossed his bloodshot eyes, and the next second, blood exploded from his left arm!

A shattered, broken arm flew in the air. The threads flying from the Red Dust Sovereign’s hand were also exposed to the air. They seemed to want to continue drilling into Lingxu Sovereign’s broken arm, but after the speed formula was tampered with, they seemed to freeze in mid-air, unable to touch Lingxu Sovereign at all.

Lingxu Sovereign’s face turned pale. He immediately modified the blood flow formula of his left arm’s stump to stop the bleeding, while his right hand gripped the density formula and swung it toward the Red Dust Sovereign!
