132: Chapter 132 Ancient Secrets, New Enemy Spying

The duplicated texts of Black Stone City had just been distributed when the "Ancient Guardian Records" underwent another anomaly.

The runes on the front page of the text suddenly lit up, reflecting an ancient Star Sea map.

"This is... the battlefield ruins of the ancient Guardian!" Bai Yunzhou stared at the map.

Ling Shuang leaned closer, her fingertips brushing over the runes: "There seems to be energy resonance."

Marked in the center of the map was the "Falling Star Battlefield", emitting weak fluctuations.

"This place might conceal ancient secrets, concerning the safety of the Star Sea," Zhou Zhiting said.

The three discussed and decided to form an exploration team to head to the Falling Star Battlefield.

The members of the team were all elites of the alliance, equipped with primordial Spirit Treasures and a star skiff.

Three days later, the star skiff set sail, speeding toward the Falling Star Battlefield in the depths of the Star Sea.

Along the way, the Star Sea was vast, filled with stardust, occasionally featuring abandoned starship wrecks.

More than ten days later, the outline of the Falling Star Battlefield appeared, riddled with scars.

Across the battlefield, broken swords and shattered armor were everywhere, Spiritual Qi was chaotic, and murderous intent was hidden.

"Be careful, this place retains the energy of the ancient war," Bai Yunzhou reminded.

The team members circulated their Spiritual Qi to protect their bodies, slowly stepping into the core area of the battlefield.

At the core, a broken stone monument stood, engraved with the four characters "World-Devouring War".

Beside the monument, several strange crystals were scattered, containing pure energy.

"This is the "realm core crystal", formed after the shattering of ancient realms," Bai Yunzhou explained.

He picked up a realm core crystal, and as his Divine Thought probed into it, ancient scenes emerged.

In ancient times, the "World-Devouring Clan" invaded the Star Sea, devouring the living beings of the realms.

The ancient Guardian gathered the power of the Star Sea to launch a decisive battle against the World-Devouring Clan.

Although they eventually repelled the World-Devouring Clan, they paid a heavy price, and the Star Sea withered.

"The World-Devouring Clan... is actually of the same origin as the Star Eclipse Clan and the Blood Fiend Realm?" Ling Shuang's face showed shock.

"They all mutated due to energy plundering, but they are even more terrifying than the latter two," Bai Yunzhou said in a deep voice.

The team continued to investigate and discovered a hidden underground palace beneath the monument.

The entrance of the underground palace was sealed by a primordial magic array, with runes flickering and terrifying power.

"We need to break the array before we can enter the underground palace," Song Xinghe stepped forward to observe.

Everyone joined forces to gradually crack the runes using the Power of Chaos and the power of star spirits.

After spending three days, the magic array finally loosened, and the entrance of the underground palace slowly opened.

Inside the underground palace, it was dark and deep, with only the runes on the walls emitting a faint light.

Advancing several hundred zhang, a stone coffin floated in the center of the underground palace, exuding an ancient aura.

Beside the stone coffin stood an inscription tablet recording the Guardian's last words.

"The World-Devouring Clan is not yet extinct; they sleep in the abyss of the Star Sea and will awaken in ten thousand years."

"We must use the realm core crystal as a guide to reinforce the Seal; otherwise, the Star Sea will be in danger."

After reading the inscription, Bai Yunzhou flashed a solemn look in his eyes: "A new crisis is coming."

"We need to find the realm core crystals as soon as possible to reinforce the Seal of the World-Devouring Clan."

The team searched the underground palace and collected dozens of realm core crystals.

The stone coffin suddenly trembled, and the coffin lid slowly opened, revealing a skeleton.

In the hand of the skeleton was a black token engraved with the three characters "Realm Guardian Token".

"This is the token of the ancient Guardian leader, containing the power of the Seal."

Bai Yunzhou took the Realm Guardian Token, and the token instantly merged into his Spiritual Qi, creating a resonance.

"It seems the heavy responsibility of reinforcing the Seal falls on you," Ling Shuang said.

After organizing the supplies of the underground palace, the team immediately returned, not daring to delay.

The star skiff sped through the Star Sea, unaware that it was being secretly followed by a black shadow.

The black shadow was precisely the vanguard scout of the World-Devouring Clan, having sensed the aura of the realm core crystals.

On the return journey, a Disciple of clearContext noticed an abnormality: "There are pursuers behind the star skiff!"

Bai Yunzhou circulated the Chaos Eye and discovered dozens of world-devouring scouts.

"They are the vanguard of the World-Devouring Clan; we cannot let them escape back to the abyss!"

Zhou Zhiting led the team members to turn around and engage the world-devouring scouts in battle.

The world-devouring scouts were covered in black shells, with sharp claws and a fierce aura.

The star spirit guardian sword slashed onto the shell, leaving only a shallow scratch.

"Attack their eyes, that is their weakness!" Bai Yunzhou shouted orders.

The coalition elites adjusted their targets, and their Sword Qi pointed directly at the eyes of the world-devouring scouts.

Black blood splashed, and the world-devouring scouts screamed repeatedly, falling to the ground one after another.

After half a day of fierce battle, the world-devouring scouts were completely slaughtered, and none escaped.

"The World-Devouring Clan has noticed the commotion; reinforcing the Seal brooks no delay."

The star skiff accelerated its return, heading straight for the sealing land in the abyss of the Star Sea.

Several days later, the star skiff arrived at the edge of the abyss of the Star Sea, where black mist billowed.

From beneath the abyss, terrifying roars echoed, making one's heart palpitate.

"The Seal is at the bottom of the abyss; we need to go deep into it," Bai Yunzhou said.

Holding the Realm Guardian Token, he circulated the Power of Chaos to disperse part of the black mist.

The team members followed closely behind, slowly descending along the abyss passage.

On both sides of the passage, runes flickered; these were precisely the sealing magic arrays of the ancient Guardian.

The energy of the magic array was already very weak, with cracks appearing in many places, on the verge of collapsing.

"realm core crystals, rise!" Bai Yunzhou threw out the collected realm core crystals.

The realm core crystals turned into streaks of light, merging into the sealing magic array and filling the cracks.

The Realm Guardian Token floated in the center of the magic array, emitting a golden light to reinforce the Seal.

The light of the magic array gradually recovered, the black mist dissipated significantly, and the roars diminished.

"It is temporarily stabilized, but it needs regular energy replenishment," Bai Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Right at this moment, an even stronger pressure came from the depths of the abyss, suffocatingly heavy.

"It is the leader of the World-Devouring Clan! He has sensed the fluctuations of the Seal!" Ling Shuang's expression changed drastically.

"Let's go quickly, this place is not suitable for a long stay!" Bai Yunzhou pulled everyone to retreat.

At the bottom of the abyss, a pair of crimson giant eyes opened, staring dead at the direction of the star skiff.

"Guardians... coming to disturb my slumber again..." A low voice echoed.

After the star skiff returned to Black Stone City, everyone immediately held an emergency alliance meeting.

"The World-Devouring Clan is about to awaken, and the Star Sea faces a calamity of annihilation," Bai Yunzhou reported.

Representatives of each allied domain showed shock, discussing animatedly with solemn expressions.

"We need to integrate all the power of the alliance, reinforce the Seal, and prepare for war against the World-Devouring Clan."

Ling Shuang proposed: "Each domain shall select elites to form the Star Sea Realm Guardian Army."

"The Star Spirit Guardian Academy shall accelerate the cultivation of Disciples to enhance the alliance's combat strength."

The representatives agreed in unison, accepted their orders one after another, and returned to their respective domains to make preparations.

The entire alliance entered a state of emergency war preparation, and the atmosphere was tense.

However, amid the preparations, the Investigation Department sent another urgent report: "Various domains of the alliance are being spied on."

"The aura of the spy is strange, not belonging to the World-Devouring Clan, seeming to be a new force."

Bai Yunzhou discussed with Ling Shuang: "We need to fight on two fronts, guarding against both the new enemy and the World-Devouring Clan."

"I will lead the Investigation Department to find out the origin of the new enemy," Song Xinghe volunteered.

Song Xinghe led the reconnaissance team to the spied-upon Lingxi Realm.

At the edge of the star veins of the Lingxi Realm, the black shadow indeed appeared again.

The black shadow was shrouded in purple mist all over, stealing the energy of the star veins.

"These black shadows are the "Purple Mist Clan", cultivating with the energy of the star veins," Song Xinghe transmitted his voice.

The team lurked and observed, discovering that the Purple Mist Clan was not only stealing energy but also setting up layouts.

"They seem to be clearing the way for the World-Devouring Clan; the two may be colluding."

Song Xinghe transmitted the message while leading the team to launch a surprise attack.

The Sword Qi of the star spirit guardian sword pierced through the purple mist, stabbing straight at the black shadow.

The Cultivators of the Purple Mist Clan reacted quickly, condensing a purple mist shield to resist the attack.

"Purification Art!" The Disciples of the Investigation Department executed the power of purification, dispersing the purple mist.

The purple mist dissipated, revealing the true forms of the Purple Mist Clan Cultivators—pointed ears, fangs, and strange shapes.

"Trespassing into my clan's cultivation ground, you're courting death!" the leader of the Purple Mist Clan roared angrily.

The purple mist around his body surged, reaching the Void Refining Middle Stage, and he lunged straight at Song Xinghe.

Song Xinghe circulated the Chaos Star Spirit Art to engage in a fierce battle with the leader of the Purple Mist Clan.

Sword Qi collided with the purple mist, energy shockwaves scattered everywhere, forcing the surrounding Cultivators back.

The members of the reconnaissance team joined forces to besiege them, and the Purple Mist Clan Cultivators gradually became unable to match them.

After half a day of fierce battle, the leader of the Purple Mist Clan was slain, and the remaining Cultivators fled in panic.

"Pursue! Do not let them leak the alliance's movements!" Song Xinghe ordered the pursuit.

The fleeing Purple Mist Clan Cultivators were completely annihilated, leaving no survivors.

Song Xinghe returned to Black Stone City to report the situation of the Purple Mist Clan and the suspicion of collusion.

"The Purple Mist Clan is colluding with the World-Devouring Clan, and the alliance is attacked from both front and back," Ling Shuang's expression was solemn.

"We need to accelerate war preparations and simultaneously send people to monitor the movements of the Purple Mist Clan," Bai Yunzhou said.

The alliance adjusted its deployment once again, dividing its forces to guard against both the Purple Mist Clan and the World-Devouring Clan.

The Star Sea Realm Guardian Army accelerated its formation, and elites from various domains gathered one after another.

The Disciples of the Star Spirit Guardian Academy practiced diligently, eager to participate in battle as soon as possible.

As for Bai Yunzhou, he went to the abyss of the Star Sea once again to check the condition of the Seal.

Although the Seal was stable, he could still feel the pressure of the World-Devouring Clan growing stronger day by day.

"The recovery speed of the World-Devouring Clan exceeds expectations," he was secretly shocked in his heart.

After returning to Black Stone City, Bai Yunzhou entered seclusion to Cultivate, striving to break through to the Void Refining Late Stage.

Only when his own strength was powerful enough could he gain a foothold in the future great war.

In the Green Lotus Secret Realm, the Power of Chaos and the power of star spirits intertwined, and his aura continuously climbed.

The alliance's war preparations continued, and above the Star Sea, a storm was brewing.

The peeping of the Purple Mist Clan never stopped, and the pressure of the World-Devouring Clan grew stronger daily.

With new enemies and old troubles coexisting, the Star Sea Alliance faced an unprecedented crisis.

Bai Yunzhou's seclusion was still ongoing, and the aura of Breakthrough was becoming increasingly rich.

He knew that only by breaking through as soon as possible could he lead the alliance through this difficult time.

The destiny of the Star Sea hung by a thread, and the Guardian's steadfast defense was crucial.

The ancient secrets had been unveiled, and a new battle was about to begin...
