"Junior Sister!" Chu Tianshu transmitted his voice to her, wanting to call Su Luo back, but she had already gone far away.
The incident happened so suddenly; Su Luo hadn't expected the Xuan Gui to flood the great hall.
She could only personally go and kill it!
Although the poisonous water threatened everyone's lives, the chaos in the water was the best moment for her to strike. Su Luo's path was blocked by either members of the Demonic Sect or the Xuan Gui. Even if she attacked indiscriminately, she wouldn't harm her own people.
At this moment, Su Luo finally used her divine artifact for the first time.
The jade green small sword in her hair flew out instantly, obeying her will. The spirit of the artifact, carrying immense divine power, carved a streak of green light in the water and struck towards the Xuan Gui like lightning.
The might of the divine artifact was unstoppable!
The Xuan Gui immediately felt the terrifying killing intent of the jade green small sword, but it was too late to dodge.
As the green light struck, the Xuan Gui's hard shell was directly pierced. The jade green small sword then flew out again, plunging directly into the Xuan Gui's head, and then shot out from its tail with a swish.
Those in the water could not see anything clearly. They only felt a terrifying oppressive force envelop the entire water area, as if a more terrifying divine beast had suddenly appeared, devouring everyone.
Waves surged, and giant waves towered.
The water pressure increased dramatically, and everyone desperately fled, almost in despair…
After an unknown period, someone discovered that the water in the great hall had disappeared, as if it had rapidly seeped into the ground. Everything became calm. The Xuan Gui's massive body lay on the great hall, its belly upturned, showing a greenish-black hue. Its head and tail had several bloody holes, and it had died long ago.
Countless corpses with ashen faces lay on the great hall. Some were deformed, some were missing limbs from being gnawed at, and some had empty abdomens with no internal organs, looking extremely gruesome.
"Dead… it's actually dead!?"
"Am I dreaming? This Xuan Gui is dead. Who killed it? How was it killed?"
The survivors, numbering only a little over twenty, were all astonished and bewildered, not understanding what had happened. They were about to be buried at the bottom of the water, either drowned or poisoned. Unexpectedly, the Xuan Gui suddenly died, and the floodwaters receded.
The great hall was empty, leaving only a damp expanse. Baimei Tianjun cast a fearful glance at the Youming Moshi. Neither of them spoke.
They had all felt that oppressive force just now. It was terrifying!
They hadn't even clearly seen what it was before the oppressive force disappeared. If it weren't for the many people who had died, and even the terrifying Xuan Gui's death, they might have thought it was all their hallucination.
From the moment they entered the ancient ruins to now, only a few hours had passed, yet so many of their people had died, demonstrating the terrifying nature of the ruins.
Baimei Tianjun regretted it immensely.
If he hadn't been so arrogant and had personally eliminated the last Xuan Gui, perhaps the great hall wouldn't have been flooded, and so many of his subordinates wouldn't have died.
"L-Lord, almost all of our people are dead…" Sima Kun, drenched but having fortunately escaped with his life, said tremblingly to Baimei Tianjun, "However, those five puppets are still alive, so we're still lucky. Should we continue exploring these ruins?"
Baimei Tianjun looked at the silent and somber great hall, his heart heavy.
The losses this time were truly catastrophic!
Those five puppets were indeed powerful. Despite losing their consciousness, they had managed to survive through instinct, which was remarkable. He turned to look at Su Luo and her four companions. They were also drenched but virtually unharmed.
"Youmeng old ghost, I think we should end this mission here. Quickly report to the Demon Lord…"
Before he could finish speaking, Baimei Tianjun paused. He noticed that Youmeng Mo Shi was staring intently into the depths of the great hall. Where there had been a wall, a small door had now opened. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Could this be the entrance to the next stage?
Baimei Tianjun's heart ignited with renewed hope.
At this point, having experienced so much danger and suffered so many losses, they couldn't give up. Since an entrance to the next stage had appeared, how could they be reconciled without investigating?
Youmeng Moshi seemed to have snapped back to reality and quickly rushed towards the small door in the depths of the great hall. Seeing this, Baimei Tianjun also transformed into a whirlwind and charged forward. They both reached the door almost simultaneously.
Inside the door was a long corridor, ten feet wide. Looking up, they didn't see a ceiling but a void. The black sky was filled with stars, beautiful and mysterious.
"How could this be…"
Youmeng Moshi was stunned. How could stars appear here?
The vast starry river, bright and brilliant, emitted dazzling and mysterious light. The two stood at the doorway, staring blankly. The more than twenty surviving demonic disciples, also shocked, walked up and were equally stunned.
"How is this possible… like this? The void?"
"So many stars, what is at the other end of this corridor? It's so magical!"
Baimei Tianjun and Youmeng Moshi paused, their hearts pounding. They seemed to have a premonition. Bravely, they took a step forward. The corridor was silent, and nothing unusual happened. They took another step, bathing in the starlight, feeling a sense of comfort that seemed to lighten their bodies by a third.
At this moment, Baimei Tianjun only wanted to pass through the corridor and see what was ahead, forgetting all danger.
Youmeng Moshi was not to be outdone. They both moved rapidly down the corridor, feeling the starlight shining down from above. Not only did nothing unusual or dangerous occur, but they also had a strange feeling of excitement, which made them quicken their pace.
The remaining surviving demonic disciples also followed, cautiously entering the corridor. They soon noticed the abnormality and became excited.
"This feeling is so magical, let's hurry and see."
"We've come this far, how can we fail now? Fortune favors the bold, let's go!"
"Our lords have gone in, what are we afraid of? Danger breeds wealth, let's go and see."
Everyone entered the void corridor one after another, following Youmeng Moshi and Baimei Tianjun, bathed in starlight, and rushing forward.
After a moment, Youmeng Moshi and Baimei Tianjun reached the end of the corridor. It was as if they had instantly entered a void. A majestic and vast power washed over them. Countless stars shone from above, brilliant as a river, like an alien star field.
A giant divine being clad in golden armor, ten feet tall, stood motionless in the void with its eyes closed, as if in a deep sleep. The stunned duo stared with wide, unblinking eyes.
Who was he?
Above the golden armored divine being, a mass of dark blue light floated.
All this vast power emanated from this mass of dark blue light, inexhaustible and immensely grand.
Baimei Tianjun remained stunned for a long time before exclaiming with a face full of admiration and shock, "What is that? Such, such powerful energy… it's simply, simply unimaginable! I seem to have comprehended something. If I could just look at it a bit longer…"
It was the power of heaven and earth that could allow one to break through, the laws of the Great Dao, contained within this cluster of ethereal light!
Youmeng Moshi couldn't believe his eyes either, his pupils bulging with shock. "Is this… is this what the Demon Lord has been searching for…"
