Chapter 974: Crystal Moon Core
Qin Lie rode on the Demon Sealing Tombstone as he cautiously passed through one void passage after another. He felt as if his heart was suspended in midair.
The five Spirits of Void and Chaos glowed in five different colors and also remained vigilant.
From the moment he entered this unknown area, Qin Lie had become increasingly nervous. He kept feeling as if there was danger around every corner.
Indeed… there was.
After who knew how long had passed, Qin Lie began to see a large number of ancient corpses floating in midair. There were corpses of all races’ clansmen. There were ancient beasts of the Ancient Beast Race, thousand meter long dragons, as well as the War Gods of the Asura Race and Demon Gods of the Nether Realm. There were even some creatures of races which Qin Lie couldn’t immediately recognize.
After suffering the warping and erosion of the chaotic streams of space and chaotic energy for so many years, these corpses were all completely worthless.
There was not a single fluctuation of energy coming from any of these corpses. They were like pieces of ten billion year old wood. It seemed like they would crumble to ash the moment they were touched.
Nonetheless, the appearance of these corpses caused Qin Lie to feel more uneasy.
The corpses were all massive. While the corpses of the ancient beasts had already been worn to the point where there was no longer a trace of energy on their bodies, the natural symbols on their bodies could still be clearly seen.
This meant that at some point, these ancient beasts had mastered the fundamental basis of some variation of the world’s laws.
Shattered Soul Altar fragments also silently lingered in midair. They looked like gray boulder fragments.
As the five Spirits of Void and Chaos, or the “Soul Altar Devourers” as they were called, passed through the field of Soul Altar fragments, and, surprisingly, did not devour anything.
In fact, from his soul connection, Qin Lie could even feel some feelings of disgust from them.
This meant that these Soul Altar fragments were simply worthless.
The corpses of various ancient elites, fragmented Soul Altars, one void passage after another, terrifying storms of energy, soul-extinguishing gusts, streaks of light which would explode upon being touched… there were just too many mysteries in this place.
Qin Lie split his consciousness into twelve parts, and continued to slowly move forward.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
A turbulent undulation suddenly came out from within a deep void passage. The mouth of the passage wriggled like it was alive, giving off an extremely strange feeling.
Qin Lie, who was passing through the area, abruptly stopped and raised his guard as he looked at the entrance.
“Roar!”
One roar after another echoed out from with entrance, each followed by a burst of energy and light.
“Swish!”
Ten seconds later, a figure covered in blood flew out from within the void passage.
The figure was a full three meters tall. His pupils were in the shape of a cross, and his skin was covered with an innate horned carapace. It was a member of the Asura Race.
His body was covered in a jet black armor. Over his chest, the armor was composed of many plates, making it look like a strange black demonic flower had bloomed all over his chest.
Drops of fresh blood fell from the petal-like black plates. Each drop of blood contained an extremely wild and tyrannical aura.
“Whoosh!”
He once again rushed towards the void passage. When he saw the nearby Qin Lie, a cruel light suddenly flashed through his cross shaped pupils.
“Tender prey!”
A strange smile appeared on his face. Afterwards, this young warrior of the Asura Race rushed towards Qin Lie.
In that instant, the petals of demonic flower esque armor turned into sharp blades.
The entire sky seemed to become filled with black, scimitar esque petals. Each one released a jet black glow as they rained down on Qin Lie.
Qin Lie calmly furrowed his brows as he watched the descending storm of black petals from atop the Demon Sealing Tombstone.
Only when the flower petals were three meters away from him did a trace of blood color abruptly emerge in the depths of Qin Lie eyes.
A giant blood drenched claw suddenly condensed above Qin Lie’s head and collided with the descending storm of black petals like the paw of a fierce ancient beast.
“Zzzt! Buzzzz zzzt zt!”
An ice cold sheen faintly flashed between the black petals as metal collided. After being swept away by the Blood Weeping Ghost Claw, obvious scratches remained.
But the black petals were not crushed as one would expect.
Qin Lie couldn’t help but quietly chuckle.
A strange light emerged in the depths of the young Asura Race warrior’s cross-shaped pupils.
“Only the early stage of the Fragmentation Realm, yet such strength. It is indeed shocking,” the Asura clansman grunted as his expression became increasingly sinister. “Clan elder was indeed not wrong. After twenty thousand years of development, the human race has transformed… into a force which absolutely cannot be overlooked.”
The sky full of descending black petals abruptly recondensed together to form a giant black demonic flower.
The black demonic flower hung in the sky directly above Qin Lie’s head.
Suddenly, an extremely strong sucking force came from the heart of the flower.
At this moment, Qin Lie abruptly lost control of the Demon Sealing Tombstone he was riding on. The scene looked like he was about to be inhaled by the mouth of a giant demon.
The young Asura Race warrior bared a vicious smile as he cruelly licked his lips and avariciously said, “I heard that the blood and flesh of the human race is most delicious. It seems I will finally be able to taste it today.”
But right after he said those words, he couldn’t help but scream as his expression rapidly changed.
In the air above Qin Lie’s head, clusters of tyrannical lightning containing thunder and lightning energy condensed to form a wild sea of thunderbolts, covering him.
Countless thin streaks of blue electricity began to coil and surge upwards towards the heart of the black demonic flower in the sky. It looked like an inverted waterfall.
As the crackling thunder and lightning surged into the heart of the demonic flower, the tumultuous raging soul emitted a roar akin to that of an evil ghost in pain.
The battle soul within the demonic flower had been injured!
