#678 - Space Gem
In the blink of an eye, Liang Yue arrived at the rooftop.
With a wave of his hand, he threw the guards who were helping with the transportation directly off the building, and Professor Olweig was also knocked unconscious by him…
Knowing the plot well, he naturally didn't need the professor to remind him how to turn off the machine in front of him.
However, knowing is knowing, but before shutting it down, Liang Yue wanted to try first, to see if he could directly turn it off with his current level of power, without the help of the Infinity Stones.
They both involved the use of space, so he wanted to see how much he differed from the Infinity Stones.
Of course, compared to his own experiment, blocking and eliminating the Chitauri invasion was equally important.
So, Liang Yue shook his shoulders, and with a thought, thousands of sword energies instantly appeared around him, faint and elusive, seemingly real and yet not.
Under the shining sun and the surging bright blue spatial power, they faintly presented a gray color, with a somewhat translucent appearance, as if traceless, and almost undetectable without careful observation.
This was precisely the sword art technique that Liang Yue had focused on during his seclusion in the DC world, a technique he created to explore and develop the field of swordsmanship.
In reality, it was somewhat like an upgraded version of sword芒 (máng - a ray of light).
However, compared to sword芒, which was a purely mental imagery technique, the sword energy in front of him was more inclined towards the application of "qi".
Regarding the development of this sword energy method, Liang Yue had created a total of eight attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and space!
Later, he passed them all on to the core disciples of his own Flowing Cloud Sect.
Unfortunately, not long after that, his trial period expired, and he didn't know how much those little guys in the sect would be able to learn.
Now, Liang Yue was using the space attribute sword energy!
At that moment, with a single hand supporting upwards, thousands of sword energies surged up, like sky-piercing rockets darting wildly, with routes that were completely unpredictable.
In fact, this was not due to his lack of control; on the contrary, it was a manifestation of Liang Yue's mastery of his sword energy reaching perfection.
Every sword energy, every spatial power was as freely controlled as an extension of his arm.
It could rotate, be ethereal, twist, and revolve!
Sometimes as soft as silk threads, gentle and winding, sometimes as ethereal as wind and clouds, appearing and disappearing, seemingly scattered and disordered, but in reality, each sword energy was extremely agile, heading straight for the target with an unpredictable trajectory!
The sword energy, already difficult to detect and discern with the naked eye, was now even harder to track under Liang Yue's control.
As a result, in just a few breaths, the Chitauri aerial motorcycle army, which had been pouring out of the space通道 (tōng dào - channel/portal) in droves, bombarding and掃射 (sǎo shè - strafing) indiscriminately in the nearby airspace, was directly wiped out by the spatial sword energy!
Then, Liang Yue suddenly clapped his hands together, and a faint purple 法力 (fǎ lì - mana/magic power) rose silently around him, and the sword energy originally scattered around him gathered from all directions.
Gracefully, the sword energy began to intertwine and overlap, constantly lengthening and thinning, and finally transformed into a gray net covering hundreds of meters!
Turning swords into silk, seemingly as soft as絮 (xù - cotton wadding/floss), easily torn, but in reality, it was a product of highly凝实 (níng shí - condensed) sword energy!
At this moment, after Liang Yue casually wove the massive spatial sword energy into a net, it began to rise rapidly.
Like a light silk帛 (bó - silk fabric), with a roll, it blocked two-thirds of the space通道 (tōng dào - channel/portal) above.
Unknowingly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
In the end, the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage was still just an ant in the myriad worlds.
It was just that compared to the Chitauri on the other side of the space通道 (tōng dào - channel/portal), Liang Yue could be considered a relatively strong one.
Perhaps, things would get better after he broke through to the next major stage, the Transformation God stage.
Because as far as Liang Yue knew, the gap between the Nascent Soul and Transformation God stages could be as much as ten times, or even dozens of times!
This was a segment in the many stages of the cultivator's path where the gap was particularly obvious, expressed in a geometric curve.
Of course, compared to ordinary cultivators, Liang Yue still had obvious advantages.
Whether it was his bloodline, the path of the professional, the power of space, or the early cultivation of the great divine power of 斡旋造化 (wò xuán zào huà - The power to influence creation), all were enough to help him widen the gap with others.
It was just a pity that Liang Yue had not yet found a suitable coordinate system to measure this gap.
Casting aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Liang Yue then turned his gaze to the energy发射 (fā shè - launch/emit) machine next to him.
Within an energy罩 (zhào - cover/shield) composed of spatial power, the Cosmic Cube was slowly沉浮 (chén fú - floating) and rotating in the very center, with vast amounts of energy constantly being发射 (fā shè - launch/emit) into the air.
Like an endless and inexhaustible energy source, pure, vigorous, and incredible~
Liang Yue approached at this moment, widened his eyes, and looked intently at the本体 (běn tǐ - main body/essence) of that energy.
Compared to the vast amount of spatial energy, he was actually more concerned with the essence of this energy!
And compared to the Power Stone he had obtained from Morag, Liang Yue was actually more interested in the Space Stone.
He stretched out a hand, and his palm quickly attached to the surface of the spatial energy護罩 (hù zhào - protective shield).
Feeling the inviolable repulsive force in that layer of energy隔膜 (gé mó - diaphragm/membrane), the next moment, with a thought, his originally fair and powerful palm instantly became translucent.
Needless to say, there were only two ways to turn off the machine in front of him.
The first was to confront it with equally powerful energy, forcibly turning off the source of power.
The other was to use ingenious techniques to integrate into this spatial power, thereby forming a certain degree of operability.
《虚化》 (Xū huà - Intangibility/Phase Shift)~
The ability awakened from the Otsutsuki bloodline allowed Liang Yue to freely travel between various spatial planes, inherently involving the use of profound spatial rules.
Originating from the same source, it was clearly not in conflict with the pure Space Stone energy in front of him.
Even, from the moment Liang Yue's palm penetrated into it, he instantly felt a sense of being like a fish in water!
That feeling was very subtle~
Endless spatial energy began to come from all directions, enveloping his palms, arms, warm and comfortable.
But in the blink of an eye, this vast spatial energy actually began to inject into Liang Yue's body in a gentle but very strong posture!
That situation was like assimilating the original, slightly lower-level spatial power container.
Just like a river rushing into the sea, it would naturally be dissolved by the sea water, and then become one!
Compared to the pure spatial rule energy represented by this Space Stone, the spatial power in Liang Yue's body was undoubtedly the lower-level one.
Therefore, the injection of that massive pure Space Stone power was definitely a great blessing for him!
Without spending any effort or means, without racking his brains to conceive and cultivate, he could passively help improve the level of power in his body~
How could Liang Yue refuse such a good thing?
So, with a thought, his whole person instantly transformed into a translucent, intangible state.
With both hands embracing forward, the Space Stone, which was originally floating and rotating in the machine, was naturally taken into his arms.
The soaring beam of spatial energy instantly lost its source.
The seemingly endless spatial power directly reversed its direction, surrounding Liang Yue entirely, constantly pouring in and merging.
The next moment, accompanied by a rumbling thunderous sound.
Above the sky, the space通道 (tōng dào - channel/portal) that had been propped open like a blue wave suddenly lost its support and began to quickly shrink, become smaller, and close up.
