Within a moment…

That black-coloured streamer began descending, then landed beside the edges of the fissure. That silver-eyed armoured protector coldly looked downwards into the fissure. There did not seem to be the slightest strand of emotion shown in its eyes.

After observing for a while, it propped itself against the greatsword, guarding the location.

After all, the master of the cavern palace had given out orders to patrol only up to this point. Should the invader not be within the boundaries, it would not chase after him.

…

Hu hu.

Accompanied by the sound of the wind flowing by his ears, Xue Ying rapidly fell downwards. His entire body was shrouded by flames, irradiating everything within the underground fissure.

Peng, he touched the ground.

Xue Ying looked ahead. The underground fissure seemed to extend towards the direction of that cavern palace.

“Did the battle take place within the cavern palace?” At once, Xue Ying darted in that direction. His speed was relatively fast. Along the way, he looked behind him, before sighing in relief, “Fortunately, the protector didn’t come chasing after me.”

Following the curb of the underground fissure, he darted forward.

Finally, he stopped.

Xue Ying looked ahead. In front of him, were walls that glowed a silvery-white, as if they were made of of jade. Beside the mountain rocks, these walls were exceptionally eye-catching. However, their beauty was marred by a gigantic crack that cut across them! This crack was seven to eight meters long. On top of that, Xue Ying felt the remnants of sharp, ferocious Qi, which put him on edge.

That ferocious qi had been left behind tens of thousands of years ago, and yet, Xue Ying could still detect such a level of pressure!

‘It seems that an incredible battle happened in this place many, many years ago. A powerful expert slashed out ferociously, cutting across the walls, earth and underground rocks, and leaving behind scars that ran through more than 50 kilometers until they reached aboveground. These are huge continuous fissures of 15 to 20 kilometers.’ Xue Ying nodded inwardly.

This devastation shocked him. The underground was composed of earth and rocks, yet one strike could penetrate through more than 50 kilometers? By the heavens! It was not an exaggeration to use ‘Armageddon’ to describe this!

Outside the silvery-white walls, he hesitated for a moment.

“I’ve no other choices! Going up the Black-Wind Abyss valley is a dead-end.” Xue Ying understood that within the silvery-white walled constructs in front of him, there could still be frightening dangers lurking within, or there could be surprises awaiting him, “I can only take this gamble!”

He wielded the Flying Snow God Spear in his hands…

The flames enveloped his body, while the World Energy spread outwards.

Xue Ying began to move along the walls of the fissure and into the construct.

“Hoot!”

The moment he entered, Xue Ying’s eyes brightened.

In front of him was an enormous, great palace of more than 300 meters in height, towering above all else, with a width measuring close to one kilometer! Such an enormous great palace… it was really shocking! There were broken pillars all around, either broken stumps or pieces on the ground. Most of the great palace was in ruins. Ferocious cracks littered the surface of the otherwise solid, silvery-white ground.

Far away, there was even a silvery-white wall with dozens of cracks criss-crossing it. He realized that he had arrived to this very place by following one of those cracks.

“I’m sure some terrifying, great battle took place here!” Xue Ying was startled as he carefully examined the entire palace.

Since the remnants of this great palace were spread out panoramically, a single sweep allowed one to examine the entire place.

Despite that, Xue Ying was unable to find a single door! No doors to lead him into the palace, and no doors to take him to other areas. The entire palace was sealed. Furthermore, even though the palace was crumbling, no extraordinary debris was left behind on the surface of the palace.

“It seems that there was a survivor in that battle in the past who actually cleaned up this great palace,” Xue Ying whispered to himself. “How exactly did they enter this great palace, and how did they exit it? I doubt they entered through the crack I came through…”

“There must be something I’ve not discovered yet!”

Xue Ying was not satisfied.

He did not want to starve to death in this Black-Wind Abyss. He wanted to survive.

As he walked through the inner palace, Xue Ying carefully observed his surroundings, using the World Energy to scour through every single corner of the location. He surveyed the area slowly and meticulously.

“Omm~~~” During the time taken to boil a cup of tea, as his World Energy was used to sweep across every single corner of the great palce, a ripple suddenly appeared in one of the spaces.
