293: Chapter 293 Meteor Core Hall

His entry-level Star Battle Body and its Fusion with spiritual power had reached a near-perfect state of completion!

He possessed absolute confidence that now, even when facing a Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Early Stage Cultivator, he could head-on withstand the opponent's full-strength strike!

As for the vajra sword in his hand, after absorbing a massive amount of energy from the meteorite essence crystals, the originally faint meteorite patterns on the blade became increasingly brilliant and profound, and its power received another massive boost!

The journey westward was smooth sailing.

Those ordinary remnants of the myriad races would often flee at the mere sight of the Human Race army's banners, not daring to offer the slightest resistance.

However, just as Ling Zhan's squad was about to delve deep into a canyon within the western core region...

A surge of tyrannical and malicious flame aura suddenly shot up from the depths of the canyon into the sky!

"It's the Demonic Flame Clan!"

Gao Feng's eyes instantly narrowed!

At the canyon's exit, two Demon Flame Commanders, whose auras had reached the Foundation Establishment Third Layer Late Stage, were leading hundreds of elite Demon Flame Soldiers in a defensive Formation!

They were among the few high-level combatants under Marquis Fen Tian who had survived the tragic Great Battle of Meteor City.

They had intended to use the rich Meteor Star Power here to make a final stand while waiting for Marquis Fen Tian to make a comeback.

They never expected that the first ones they would encounter would be the very human squad they least wanted to see—the one that was like a nightmare to them!

"It's Gao Feng! It's that human demon who killed countless of our compatriots!"

"Kill him! Avenge our fallen brothers!"

The moment those two Demon Flame Commanders saw Gao Feng, their eyes instantly turned blood-red!

When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred!

Without any hesitation, they directly led the elites behind them and pounced frantically toward Gao Feng's squad!

However, they did not know.

The current squad was no longer the same team that had struggled to hold on during the bloody battle of Meteor City half a month ago.

After that baptism of blood and fire, their strength and coordination had already reached a terrifying level that could be called Transcendent!

"Form the array!"

Gao Feng simply uttered three words coolly.

"Ancient Star Array! Rise!"

Chu Lan's figure instantly appeared at the very front of the squad!

Forming hand seals, she integrated her entire understanding of Formations into this ancient grand array she had learned from the Star Body Refining Hall!

With the help of the rich Meteor Star Power in this place, a massive Formation composed of brilliant starlight instantly enveloped all those hundreds of Demonic Flame Clan elites within it!

Under the suppression of this grand array, those Demon Flame Soldiers felt as if the flame power within their bodies was being deathly suppressed by an invisible force; their combat power was weakened by nearly thirty percent out of thin air!

"Star Battle Song!"

Luo Li's zither music also rang out!

The stirring melody was like war drums, striking the hearts of every teammate!

Under the dual blessing of the Myriad Spirit Space's fifty percent Multi-Dimensional Amplification and the Star Battle Song, Gao Feng felt the spiritual power and blood qi within his body completely boil over at this moment!

"Want to run? Too late!"

Su Ning's figure appeared like a ghost behind the two Demon Flame Commanders.

She pressed her hands together, and layers of folded space, like invisible walls, instantly cut off all their paths of retreat, forming a desperate encirclement!

"Star Demon Suppression!"

Tian Xin threw out several of the most powerful Talismans she had prepared long ago!

Brilliant starlight, like a torrential downpour, slammed ruthlessly toward the two Demon Flame Commanders!

The originally overbearing dark purple demon flames instantly became withered and feeble before this Star Power that specifically countered them!

"Kill!"

Gao Feng moved!

He activated his near-perfect entry-level Star Battle Body and, holding the vajra sword, charged into the enemy ranks like a bolt of golden lightning!

His vigorous spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment Third Layer Mid Stage drove his incredibly powerful muscles and bones as he swung his sword!

Puchi!

Before one Demon Flame Commander could even make any effective defense, his proud flame shield was instantly torn to shreds like paper by Gao Feng's world-shaking sword strike!

Immediately following that, the sword light flashed.

A large head soared into the sky!

In just a few rounds!

Under the unsolvable perfect coordination of Gao Feng's squad, two powerful Foundation Establishment Third Layer Late Stage commanders were easily slain!

The remaining Demon Flame elites were even more thoroughly annihilated, like cutting melons and vegetables!

After this battle, there was no longer any organized resistance force in the entire western lost territory.

The Human Race army swept through like a hot knife through butter, soon recovering all lost ground and re-occupying the Western Meteorite Mine, which held extraordinary significance for the Human Race.

While Gao Feng was investigating the area where the Meteor Star Power was most concentrated...

The Star Battle Body patterns on his chest, which had long since fused with him, suddenly became burning hot without any warning!

At the same time, that ancient Jade Slip from the Star Body Refining Hall, which he had always kept close to him, slowly revealed a new line of golden characters!

"The entrance to the Meteorite Core Hall is located at the deepest earth vein core of the Western Meteorite Mine."

"It requires the Star Battle Body to draw upon the world's Meteor Star Power to be opened."

"Inside the hall, there is a Meteorite Guardian Beast standing watch, with strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Late Stage!"

Seeing this line of text, a storm of shock rose in Gao Feng's heart!

And what surprised him even more was that under the continuous washing of this extremely rich Meteor Star Power...

His spiritual power reserves, which had already reached a saturated state at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer Mid Stage, began to loosen once again!

The Fusion of his muscles, bones, and spiritual power reached an unprecedented new height!

Within his body, a even more powerful force was faintly accumulating, frantically wanting to break through the barrier leading to a higher Realm!

The opportunity for a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer had officially appeared!

When Elder Ling Zhan learned of this news, he decisively issued an order!

"The entire army will station at the Western Meteorite Mine! We will protect Gao Feng's squad as they explore the Meteorite Core Hall at all costs!"

Everyone knew very well in their hearts.

That legendary Meteorite Core Hall and that mysterious meteor core crystal were not just the key to Gao Feng's Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer.

They were the entire hope for the Human Race to completely repel the myriad races and win the final victory of this war!

After the army personally led by Elder Ling Zhan surrounded the entire Western Meteorite Mine as tightly as an iron barrel, Gao Feng's squad could finally set out toward the legendary Meteorite Core Hall without any worries.

They delved into the deepest part of this mine, which had been occupied by the myriad races for decades.

The further in they went, the more the surrounding environment became eerie and peculiar.

In the air, the Meteor Star Power, so rich it was almost tangible, turned into wisps of pale purple star mist that swirled around their bodies, making their vision somewhat blurry.

The originally rough stone walls on both sides of the mine were also gradually covered by star patterns filled with mystery and a sense of power.

Those patterns were almost from the same source as the ones Gao Feng had seen in the Star Body Refining Hall and the entry-level Star Battle Body patterns on his own body!

In the air, besides the pure Meteor Star Power, there was also a faint aura of an ancient battlefield filled with iron-blooded tragedy.

It was as if in the endless ages past, a world-shaking, tragic battle had once broken out here.

"Everyone be careful, the space here is very unstable."

Su Ning's expression became somewhat grave.

Her eyes, which could see through the Origin of space, clearly saw that within this seemingly calm pale purple star mist, countless spatial cracks as fine as cow hair yet extremely lethal were hidden.

With the slightest carelessness, even a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator could be instantly sliced into pieces!

Walking at the very front of the squad, her hands constantly gestured in the void, using her exquisite spatial Spells to accurately detect the only safe path for the teammates behind her.

"The star mist here has the effect of confusing the mind."

Chu Lan also had a solemn expression.

She took out several Formation Flags engraved with star patterns and inserted them into the stone walls on both sides of the mine, using those same-source star patterns to set up a small pathfinding Formation.

Soft starlight radiated from the Formation Flags, forming a clear band of light that guided everyone so they wouldn't lose their way in this star mist filled with unknowns and dangers.

The deeper they went, the more the Meteor Star Power became violent and overbearing.

That power, like invisible giant waves, crashed against everyone's bodies wave after wave.

Even with the formidable strength of Luo Li, Tian Xin, and the others, they had to constantly circulate their spiritual power for protection to barely withstand that terrifying pressure, which was enough to instantly tear an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator to shreds.

Only Gao Feng was an exception.

When that violent Meteor Star Power enveloped his body, not only did he not feel the slightest discomfort, but he instead felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and familiarity, like a fish returning to the sea!

His entry-level Star Battle Body seemed to produce some profound and mysterious resonance with this world!

He didn't even need to consciously circulate his Cultivation Technique; those violent Meteor Star Powers would actively surge into his body, constantly vitalizing his already vigorous spiritual power and washing over his already powerful muscles and bones!

He could clearly feel his Physical Body becoming increasingly tough and powerful at a visible speed under the washing of this power!

They didn't know how long they had been walking.

When they rounded the last rugged bend...

Everyone's footsteps stopped simultaneously at this moment.

Their faces all showed an irrepressible look of shock!

At the end of the mine, a magnificent stone wall thousands of feet high, composed of a single complete piece of massive meteorite stone, stood across their path, completely blocking all way forward!
