Chapter 64: Infiltration (V)

After the meeting ended, Lin Fan returned to the Red Abyss equipment depot.

A giant transport vehicle was parked there, and the Void Source Furnace had already been loaded.

It was a massive black sphere, its surface covered in complex and obscure arcane symbols, emitting a faint purple glow.

According to the Red Abyss research team, this device was the core apparatus for connecting to higher-dimensional planes; once activated, it could open a gateway to unknown Domains.

Lin Fan stood before the device, his eyes cold. He raised his hand, a faint light flickering between his fingers as he silently infused spiritual energy seals into the black sphere.

"Digging your own grave," Lin Fan sneered, completing the movements with flawless precision.

The higher-dimensional space was none other than the Canglan Immortal Domain where Lin Chen resided.

One had to know that the Black Obsidian Organization, for the sake of technology, had directly attacked Star-Moon Manor, wanting to take Lin Fan as a research subject.

If they went to the Canglan Immortal Domain, the consequences would be unimaginable.

During the transport, while driving the vehicle, Lin Fan used his spiritual avatar to monitor the movements inside the Red Abyss.

Shen He's level of importance placed on this test far exceeded Lin Fan's imagination; he even spared no resources to seal off the experimental area.

He knew that if this test failed, the Red Abyss might fall into massive chaos, and this was exactly the opportunity he needed.

The Void Source Furnace was finally delivered to the experimental site located deep within a desolate canyon.

It was filled with high-intensity energy barriers, and the surrounding defenses were heavily guarded.

After Lin Fan handed over the equipment, Shen He coldly ordered: "Deputy Leader Ling Chuan, the test area is not a place where you should stay; withdraw immediately."

Lin Fan saluted calmly and turned to leave.

On a remote hillside, he concealed his presence, looking down at the experimental site from a vantage point.

The Void Source Furnace was gradually activated, the inscriptions on its surface lighting up with a dazzling purple glow, and the entire device released high-dimensional energy fluctuations.

The voices of the researchers were tense and hurried: "Energy fluctuations are stable! Expecting to enter high-dimensional resonance in ten seconds!"

Shen He stood in the center, his eyes filled with ambition and fanaticism. His voice was deep and powerful:

"Activate the device, complete the test at all costs!"

Lin Fan sat cross-legged, a cold sneer forming on his lips.

He waited quietly until the outline of the higher-dimensional plane entrance gradually appeared.

"It's a success!" Shen He said excitedly.

All the researchers were excited, some even weeping with joy.

Lin Fan, on the distant hillside, watched this scene and sneered, "Now is the time." He waved his hand, triggering all the seals.

"Boom—!"

With a deafening roar, the entire Void Source Furnace suddenly collapsed, the inscription array instantly lost control, releasing destructive high-dimensional energy fluctuations.

The violent energy tore through the altar of the experimental site, and the shockwave spread, instantly swallowing the surrounding defensive barriers and the stationed Red Abyss armed forces.

A mushroom cloud rose into the sky, dyeing the horizon red.

The experimental site turned into a sea of fire, devastated, with screams rising one after another.

Shen He desperately activated his force field shield, barely managing to withstand the shockwave, looking at the scene of destruction before him with a face full of horror.

Lin Fan on the hillside stood up, witnessing all this, a cold arc forming on his lips.

"Trying to pry open the door to the higher-dimensional plane? Ridiculous."

He waved his hand to tear open a Void Realm rift and turned to leave.

This first stage test of "Light of Black Obsidian" ended in a disastrous defeat for the Red Abyss.

But Lin Fan knew that this was only delaying time; eventually, one day, the gates of the Canglan Immortal Domain would be opened by the Black Obsidian Organization.

After successfully sabotaging the experiment, Xiao Du's slightly weary voice reached Lin Fan's ears:

"Lin Fan, the encrypted files in the old laptop have all been cracked! I'm exhausted. Next time you get merit points, you must share half with me, otherwise don't expect me to help you again!"

After completing the decryption, Xiao Du directly chose to return to the System space and initiated a System dialogue with Lin Fan.

"Alright, alright, the next batch of merit points will definitely not be short of your share."

Lin Fan's spiritual avatar was currently inside Star-Moon Manor, quickly browsing through the decrypted files.

The files detailed the path to enter Watchtower Island, the methods to open special passages, and some core content of the island defense plan.

Lin Fan gently closed the file, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes. "Watchtower Island… so this is where the true secret is hidden."

Before he could think further, his main body's communication device, disguised as Deputy Leader Ling Chuan, suddenly transmitted a low and cold reprimand:

"Deputy Leader Ling Chuan! Immediately take all your people and go destroy Star-Moon Manor! Listen clearly, if you fail this time, just die there; don't come back!"

This was the order from the Red Abyss's supreme leader, Grand Commander Li Cangming.

Lin Fan curled his lips slightly, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

He whispered to himself: "Grand Commander Li Cangming, it seems you can't wait to make a move. However, you want me to destroy Star-Moon Manor? I'd like to see who ends up hurting more."

Lin Fan's main body took a Red Abyss shuttle back to Earth, his expression calm the entire way, as if he were brewing a grand plan capable of shaking the situation.

After returning to the Red Abyss headquarters, he immediately gathered his men, declaring that this mission was of utmost importance and could not afford any mistakes.

He not only utilized the troops under his command but even directly requested reinforcements from Grand Commander Li Cangming, with the reason that "the threat of Star-Moon Manor far exceeds imagination."

Hearing Lin Fan's forceful attitude, Grand Commander Li Cangming was quite dissatisfied internally, but facing the gaze of numerous Red Abyss high-ranking officials, he couldn't bring himself to refuse directly.

After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded reluctantly, agreeing to allocate a thousand-man elite squad.

This squad was well-equipped, outfitted with multiple Level 5 civilization weapons and defensive equipment.

Lin Fan sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he put on a solemn appearance and bowed in thanks:

"Thank you for your support, Grand Commander! This mission will definitely live up to expectations." Seeing him so "loyal," Grand Commander Li Cangming had no choice but to wave his hand and tell him to act quickly.

Just like that, Lin Fan successfully took command of an army of nearly ten thousand, plus all the forces of Deputy Leader Ling Chuan's original unit, creating quite a spectacle.

He ordered everyone to prepare for departure, and for a time, the interior of the Red Abyss was bustling with activity.

Ground transport vehicles, armed spaceships, and mechanical units lined up to depart, with various cutting-edge technological equipment neatly loaded; the Aura was magnificent, as if preparing to launch an unprecedented large-scale encirclement operation.

However, only Lin Fan knew that the true purpose of this operation was not to attack, but to protect.

He knew the combat power of Star-Moon Manor all too well; the main combatants were just Yin Miaoxue, Princess Hu Qinlan, and Princess Jin Xuan, while the other defensive forces were mostly at the level of a Level 2.5 civilization.

Facing such a massive Red Abyss army, Star-Moon Manor's chance of winning was almost zero.

But would Lin Fan really let the flames of war reach Star-Moon Manor?

Of course not.

He already had a plan in mind. Lin Fan, disguised as the Deputy Leader, while "seriously" commanding this massive force, secretly smiled to himself.

When the critical moment arrived, he would turn this army around to protect Star-Moon Manor instead.

"Heh," Lin Fan sat in the command cabin, looking at the army formation on the virtual light screen, a cold sneer curling his lips,

"Grand Commander Li Cangming, oh Grand Commander Li Cangming, you probably never imagined that what you sent out is the force to protect the manor, not the blade to destroy it."
