346: Chapter 346 The Truth Behind the Ascension Array! Descending into the Starry Ruins!
Inside the spatial channel, the white light was blindingly bright.
The violent spatial turbulence was like countless sharp steel knives, crazily slashing at the surroundings.
The piercing sound of friction was incessant.
Su Yang walked at the very front with his hands in his pockets.
Brilliant golden Pure Yang True Qi emanated from his body, forming a massive golden circular shield that enveloped Bai Li, Chu Ling, Mary, and Qin Xueji.
The turbulence slammed against the golden light shield, emitting dull roars, but it could not shake the shield in the slightest.
Qin Xueji clung tightly to Su Yang's back, wrapping her arms around his sturdy waist.
Her eyes were tightly shut, and her long eyelashes trembled continuously.
Chu Ling, in her ice-blue long dress fluttering in the wind, showed not a hint of fear on her stunningly beautiful face.
She pressed close to Su Yang's left side, feeling the astonishing heat radiating from the Pure Yang True Qi, her ice-blue eyes filled with peace of mind.
Mary fluttered her black bat wings, her hot figure fully revealed under the tight leather outfit.
She looked at the white light outside with disdain, her rosy lips slightly pouting: "How come there isn't even any scenery in the Ascension channel? It makes one's eyes ache."
Bai Li walked at the end, her nine snow-white fox tails swaying slowly behind her.
Wisdom flickered in her purple eyes as she carefully examined the fluctuations of the spatial Law around them.
The sensation of weightlessness lasted for a full ten minutes.
At the end of the white light ahead, a black vortex suddenly appeared.
"Hold on tight, we're about to land."
Su Yang's voice was calm.
The group instantly passed through the black vortex.
Bang!
Their feet landed firmly on the hard ground.
The white light vanished completely, and their vision suddenly cleared.
The scene before them left the expectant women stunned on the spot.
Here, there were no magnificent pavilions shrouded in Immortal Qi, nor was there a paradise of birdsong and fragrant flowers.
Surrounding them was the endless dark Void Realm. There was no sun overhead, only faint, scattered starlight.
What they were standing on was a massive black meteorite with an area of several tens of thousands of square meters.
The surface of the meteorite was pitted and scarred, scattered with countless broken walls and ruins.
Floating in mid-air were shards of broken white jade pillars and tiles from dilapidated bronze palaces.
There was no Spiritual Qi in the air, only a suffocating desolation and deathly silence.
"What's going on? Where is the promised Immortal Realm?"
Mary widened her scarlet eyes, her face full of disappointment.
She kicked a piece of rubble on the ground, and it tumbled into the Void Realm without a single echo returning.
Chu Ling clenched her fists, icy energy circulating on her skin: "There is no Immortal Qi, not even any living creatures. This place reeks of a moldy tomb."
Qin Xueji let go of Su Yang's waist, standing somewhat unsteadily.
She looked around at the ruins, her beautiful eyes filled with bewilderment.
This was completely different from the scenes of the Immortal Realm after Ascension described in legends.
Su Yang dispelled the Pure Yang shield and scanned the entire massive meteorite with his deep eyes.
"The destination of the Ascension Array is just a garbage dump." Su Yang's lips curled up, revealing a sneer.
Bai Li walked to the edge of the ruins and reached out to pick up a shard of jade stained with dried black blood.
"Husband, the ancient Ascension path from the primordial era was long ago completely shattered."
Bai Li crushed the jade shard into powder, her voice heavy.
"This should be a transit station for the Ascension channel.
The Great Calamity from one hundred thousand years ago even affected the spatial channels.
The buildings on this meteorite are the remains of the Immortal Reception Palace from back then."
Hearing Bai Li's analysis, the women gasped.
Even the palace that received immortals was smashed into rubble; just how tragic must the battle back then have been?
Su Yang stretched his neck, emitting a crisp sound of cracking bones.
"Since the road is broken, let's search through these ruins to see if there are any good things left from the ancient times. Since we're already here, we can't go back empty-handed."
Su Yang strode forward, stepping over the ruins, and walked straight towards the center of the meteorite.
The women followed closely behind.
The gravity on the surface of the meteorite was very abnormal. Walking felt light and floaty.
Passing through a collapsed white jade archway, a massive deep pit appeared ahead.
The inside of the pit was pitch black, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.
Just as the group approached within a hundred meters of the pit.
"Rumble!"
The massive meteorite under their feet suddenly began to tremble violently.
The floating rubble nearby was shattered by a powerful force.
From inside the pit, a harsh sound of metal grating echoed.
"Fall back." Su Yang stopped and ordered in a cold voice.
Chu Ling and the others immediately drew their weapons, leaped back dozens of meters, and stood ready.
Bang!
A terrifying giant creature over three hundred meters long burst out from the pit, its massive body kicking up a sky full of black dust.
It was a starry beast with the appearance of a centipede.
Its entire body was covered in a jet-black, hard carapace, and on its back grew six pairs of translucent, blood-colored fleshy wings.
Hundreds of razor-sharp limbs waved in the air, carving out countless spatial cracks.
The beast had no eyes; its head possessed only a bloody maw filled with several circles of spiral sharp teeth.
A violent pressure at the Soul Transformation Early Stage, mixed with a Void Realm storm, instantly swept across the entire meteorite.
"A bug hiding in a garbage dump; it really looks disgusting." Mary saw the beast's appearance and spat on the ground in disgust.
Extremely cold energy condensed into an ice-blue longsword in Chu Ling's hand, and she said eagerly: "Boss, leave it to me! I'll freeze it into an icicle and smash it!"
"No need. Let's finish this quickly."
Su Yang kept his hands in his pockets, his posture as straight as a pine facing the three-hundred-meter-long behemoth.
The six-winged starry centipede sensed the life force of living humans and emitted an ear-piercing shriek.
Its six pairs of blood-colored fleshy wings vibrated violently.
Swish, swish, swish!
Hundreds of tangible, silver spatial blades shot out from the beast's wings.
The spatial blades, carrying the power to slice through everything, slashed towards Su Yang like a deluge.
The hard white jade ruins nearby were easily sliced into smooth fragments by the spatial blades.
Facing the lethal attack, Su Yang couldn't even be bothered to dodge.
He pulled his right hand out of his pocket.
Hum!
A square seal, purple-gold in its entirety and wrapped in a lightning Dragon totem, instantly appeared in his palm; it was the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Seal.
"Suppress."
Su Yang tossed the Divine Thunder Seal forward casually.
The purple-gold seal expanded in the wind, transforming into a lightning mountain dozens of zhang high. The bottom of the seal erupted with millions of blinding purple lightning bolts.
Bang, bang, bang!
Hundreds of spatial blades collided with the purple-gold lightning web, emitting a series of dull thuds.
The spatial blades, which were said to be able to slice through the Physical Body of a Soul Transformation Stage cultivator, were like fragile glass before the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Seal, all collapsing and dissipating.
Seeing that its attack was ineffective, the beast became completely enraged. Its massive body turned into a streak of black lightning, opening its maw filled with sharp teeth, wanting to swallow Su Yang along with the Divine Thunder Seal in one bite.
"You're courting death."
Su Yang's figure instantly vanished from where he stood.
The next second, he appeared like a ghost directly above the starry centipede's head.
The muscles in his right arm instantly bulged, and brilliant golden Pure Yang True Fire, mixed with violent purple-blue lightning, completely enveloped his right fist.
The golden-purple fist radiance was like a scorching sun falling into the mortal world.
"Shatter for me!"
Bringing with him the immense power to destroy everything, Su Yang smashed his fist heavily onto the centipede's hard skull.
Boom!!!
A deafening sound exploded in the dark Void Realm.
The indestructible black carapace instantly shattered under the dual pressure of the high temperature of the Mutated Pure Yang True Fire and the terrifying immense strength.
The golden flames crazily drilled into the beast's body through the cracks.
"Hiss—!"
The six-winged starry centipede let out a miserable shriek.
Its three-hundred-meter-long massive body twisted and rolled crazily in mid-air.
But all its struggles were in vain.
The Pure Yang True Fire was unstoppable, burning away the beast's inner flesh and organs in just a few breaths.
The massive body, like a piece of deadwood, lost all signs of life and slammed heavily onto the meteorite surface, breaking into several large pieces of charred black charcoal that emitted a burnt stench.
A fist-sized silver crystal core, radiating rich Void Realm energy, rolled out from the charcoal.
Su Yang landed gracefully and raised his hand to suck the silver crystal core into his palm.
"A Void Demon Core; it barely counts as a good Material for Artifact Refining." Su Yang casually tossed it into the System space.
Chu Ling, Mary, Qin Xueji, and Bai Li walked forward.
Qin Xueji looked at the charred remains, her beautiful eyes filled with adoration. A Soul Transformation Stage starry giant beast couldn't even withstand a single move before the boss.
"Boss is too cool!"
Mary excitedly crowded over, her full breasts pressing tightly against Su Yang's arm, her face filled with infatuation.
Su Yang reached out and pinched Mary's cheek, just about to speak.
Suddenly.
In the deep pit ahead, the originally swirling black mist completely dissipated.
A broken white jade archway stood lonely at the bottom of the pit. On the archway, a few broken ancient characters were faintly visible: Nantian...
What made one's heart run cold the most was this.
Beneath the broken archway, a headless corpse sat quietly cross-legged.
The corpse was wearing tattered silver armor, its hands tightly gripping a bright silver long spear covered in cracks.
There was no life force on the headless corpse; it was unknown how many tens of thousands of years it had been dead.
But the moment the mist dissipated.
The tattered red tassel hanging on the tip of the bright silver long spear suddenly moved without wind.
The headless silver-armored corpse, which had been sitting cross-legged, actually stood up slowly.
A terrifying Killing Intent that surpassed the Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection instantly locked onto everyone!
