World Version Updates-Chapter 500 - 314: Ascender Squad and the Source of Version Invasion

City No.14, the steel borderline city wall symbolizing the absolute control of the Intelligent God and the complete severance from the old era, lay sprawling like a gigantic beast, stretching across the desolate Gobi desert and the relatively free city.

This is a special area under strict control by the Intelligent God.

Between City No.14 and other cities, a vast array of fortress-like checkpoints are densely arranged.

These checkpoints are sturdily built with formidable firepower, interconnected via energy channels, forming an almost insurmountable blockade.

Tens of thousands of spiritual ability users in standard power armor, like tireless worker bees, patrol and inspect these checkpoints, their eyes as sharp as eagles, not missing any suspicious individuals attempting to approach or leave City No.14.

Each checkpoint is equipped with high-intensity energy scanners and identity recognition systems. Any unauthorized intruder will face destructive impacts.

Above the sky, the expansive Celestial Dome, stretching to the edge of the territory of City No.14, seemed to halt as if blocked by an invisible barrier, abruptly stopping all.

Through this area not covered by the dome, one can even clearly see the long-absent sunlight and the brilliant stars tracing ancient paths across the night sky.

This small window in the sky has become an extremely rare and precious scenery in this world governed by steel and data.

Lu Yan emerged silently like a ghost on the outskirts of the border checkpoint.

He walked slowly and steadily towards the City No.14, guarded by countless firepower points.

The patrolling spiritual ability users around were mostly only equivalent to Upper-Rank Spiritual Ability Users at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The strongest among them were just a few checkpoint commanders equal to Nascent Soul Stage Authority Angel Level.

With Lu Yan deliberately concealing his aura and blocking external perception, these spiritual ability users were completely unaware of his uninvited presence. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Their gazes passed over Lu Yan, treating him like air, with no reaction at all.

In this manner, Lu Yan, as if taking a leisurely stroll, easily passed through seemingly heavily guarded checkpoints without attracting any attention.

Realizing the terrifying locking ability of the Celestial Dome on the power of destiny causation, and that this only area without the dome in City No.14 might be a critical breakthrough point against the Intelligent God, Lu Yan decisively decided to travel across half of the Cyber World to personally visit City No.14.

To avoid detection by the Intelligent God along the way, Lu Yan couldn't use Great Divine Techniques like space teleportation or Vertical Earth Golden Light that would cause intense energy fluctuations.

He could only proceed with conventional flying, and even with his current cultivation, crossing this vast distance took him several days.

As he gradually penetrated into the territory of City No.14, leaving the area under the Celestial Dome, Lu Yan could clearly sense the destiny track that seemed to stagnant air quietly dissipating, and the oppressive gaze overhead disappearing.

Although the conditions were initially prepared for undertaking high-level destiny forecast here, Lu Yan did not rush to act.

He planned to first enter the interior of City No.14, gather some information about the current state of this world, especially details about the recent changes of the Intelligent God, and then use the Creation and Transformation method to perhaps derive more precise and comprehensive answers.

While contemplating his next move and continuing to advance towards the city interior, Lu Yan suddenly saw a violent explosion erupting from a checkpoint about ten miles away in the distance.

"Boom!"

The deafening sound of the explosion echoed in the sky, and the destructive shockwave swept around like a violent hurricane, instantly affecting several surrounding checkpoints.

A large number of spiritual ability users were engulfed by the violent energy torrent before they even had time to react, turning into charred remains and wreckage in an instant.

"Alert! Alert!"

"Someone breached the checkpoint! It's an unidentified intruder!"

"Requesting fire support! Repeat, requesting fire support!"

"Initiate Destroyer-class weaponry permissions! Target, A-7 zone!"

Shrill alarms and panicked shouts rang through the communications network between checkpoints one after another.

Subsequently, the checkpoints that originally stood silently like a steel jungle began to rapidly reshuffle and reconstruct their external armor.

The sounds of heavy metal friction and mechanical transmission boomed continuously. In just a few seconds, those originally fortress-like checkpoints extended grim barrels from within, transforming into gigantic terrifyingly-caliber energy turrets.

"Boom!!!"

The next moment, without giving anyone time to react, dozens of destructive spiritual energy torrents surged from those massive cannons as though angry dragons, carrying terrifying power capable of tearing apart anything, executing indiscriminate comprehensive firepower coverage over the recently exploded checkpoint area, and all potentially enemy-occupied surrounding regions.

With his sharp sight, Lu Yan could clearly see several oddly dressed and agile figures moving swiftly within the raging torrents of spiritual energy, trying to dodge.
