Chapter 405: Void Corridor! The Truth

Hearing Gu You's reminder, Li Yuan instinctively wanted to return to the Ancient God Palace to increase his chances of survival.

Spatial rift? Space, as the foundation of all spirits, is extremely stable. Even if peak Void God powerhouses fight to the death, they usually at most cause some ripples in space.

True Gods, only by giving their all, can cause some cracks in space, and under the self-repairing effect of heaven and earth, these cracks will also recover quickly.

Therefore, encountering a spatial rift represents extreme danger.

"Can't move, it's too late." Li Yuan understood immediately that it was too late. The invisible spatial imprisonment force had completely sealed the void he was in.

Even the space inside the Nebula Extreme Void Shuttle was completely suppressed.

"Is this a method of the Abyss Demon Blood Cave?"

"Or did the mastermind strike? Could the mastermind be a True God-level powerhouse?" Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

If it were only Void God-level, even if they could kill Li Yuan directly, they wouldn't need to make Li Yuan unable to hide in the Ancient God Palace while inside the warship.

"Such great power."

"If they wanted to kill me, it would be easy. There's no need to create a spatial rift. There must be a reason," Li Yuan had endless longing in his heart: "Must survive, must!!"

Entering the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals and descending to this mysterious Juexing Continent, he still had many things left unfinished.

It seemed like an instant, Li Yuan only felt the Nebula Extreme Void Shuttle tremble slightly, and the surroundings had already stabilized.

Li Yuan, who had some comprehension of spatial mysteries, could sense that he should have changed space.

At this time.

The space inside the Nebula Extreme Void Shuttle was no longer suppressed, but Li Yuan was not in a hurry to enter the Ancient God Palace.

"Is it a cave?" Li Yuan's spiritual sense diffused. Through the warship, he could perceive that the outside seemed empty; it should be a vast place. His spiritual sense quickly diffused to the end.

"This is the intersection of several passages; it should be a teleportation array," Gu You transmitted.

Teleportation array? Li Yuan was secretly surprised.

In the Divine Domain, different star regions are extremely far apart. Even if Heavenly Gods wanted to fly across the vast void, it was extremely unrealistic, so teleportation arrays were needed.

Like wormholes and star gates in the starry sky, they are essentially similar to teleportation arrays; these two are naturally born from the operation of heaven and earth.

Teleportation arrays, however, are man-made.

Teleportation arrays involve high-level application of spatial laws, usually something only Heavenly Gods can do... Like the Starry Sky Divine Court spread throughout the Divine Domain, the various Starry Sky Ancient Cities are essentially stable and vast "Starry Sky Teleportation Arrays," allowing Starry Sky Divine Court powerhouses to quickly arrive in every starry territory of the Divine Domain.

There was actually a teleportation array here?

Could the mastermind of the Abyss Demon Blood Cave be a Heavenly God?

"Sister, is it safe?" Li Yuan transmitted.

"Should be safe," Gu You transmitted: "I scanned all directions and didn't find any danger. You can try operating the warship."

Whoosh!

A map quickly passed into Li Yuan's mind; it was the terrain map scanned by Gu You... At this moment, the area where the Nebula Extreme Void Shuttle was located was similar to the center of a giant spherical hall with a diameter of about ten kilometers.

This was also the reason why Li Yuan couldn't scan the boundary at the first moment.

Because the entire hall was too large.

On the eight walls of the hall, countless secret patterns seemed to be engraved, combining with each other to have mysterious fluctuations.

"No wonder Sister Gu You said it was a suspected teleportation array," Li Yuan thought to himself: "It is indeed quite similar to the data given by Senior Qiu."

In every direction of the spherical hall, there were passages, a full sixty-four passages, each with a height and width exceeding a hundred meters, extending in different directions... Even if Gu You operated the Ancient God Palace, she couldn't scan the end of the passages.

"This hall has no abnormalities."

"Whoosh!"

Li Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately operated the Nebula Extreme Void Shuttle, then flew toward one of the passages.

Just arrived at the edge of the passage.

"Sss~" The entire warship encountered an invisible obstacle and could no longer rush through. A slight exertion of force even caused the warship to tremble slightly.

"Brother Xu, what about us?" Jiang Xuan behind him couldn't help but say.

"Lord Xu Yuan." Xu Guo and the several armored soldiers were also quite nervous.

They didn't have Li Yuan's keen perception, but the sudden drastic change also let them know they had encountered trouble.

"This is the map, take a good look," Li Yuan's gaze swept, and six invisible soul fluctuations flew out, drilling into the minds of Jiang Xuan, Xu Guo, and the others.

These soul fluctuations contained map information.

"Such a large hall."

"Where is this?" Xu Guo and the several armored soldiers were surprised.

"The intelligence within the Royal Family didn't say the Abyss Demon Blood Cave had such a place," Jiang Xuan was equally shocked.

"The warship cannot fly into the passage," Li Yuan said indifferently: "If we don't want to be trapped here, we must get off the warship and try."

Whoosh!

The cabin door opened, and Li Yuan's figure moved and flew out of the warship. The outside was pitch black, without a single ray of light.

But Flying-realm and Demigod-realm powerhouses, compared to eyes, actually trust spiritual sense more.

"Boom!" The surface of the Nebula Extreme Void Shuttle suddenly bloomed with light, radiating dazzling light. These rays of light were enough for them to see the scene in the distance.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo and the others also flew out, simultaneously looking at the passage dozens of meters away.

"The warship can't enter this passage?" Xu Guo was puzzled: "There doesn't seem to be any corpses here either. Could it be that we are the first batch of trial-takers to come here?"

Everyone looked at Li Yuan.

"I need you to try," Li Yuan said in a low voice: "Someone must fly into the passage first."

Xu Guo, Jiang Xuan, and the others looked at each other.

"I'll go," Xu Guo said, and without hesitation, turned into a stream of light and rushed into the dim passage.

He was not obstructed at all.

But the moment he stepped into the range of this passage.

"Pop~ Pop~ Pop~ Pop~" It was as if a hidden mechanism had been triggered. The entire passage suddenly lit up, the surface of the passage looked like it was cast from metal, followed by the emergence of layers of light.

Like broad daylight.

"Your Highness, Lord Xu Yuan, I have received guidance," Xu Guo said in shock: "A voice told me to continue walking forward along the passage, only then will there be hope of survival... otherwise, I will die."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Li Yuan was very calm and said directly: "Xu Guo, try to see if you can fly back."

"Yes." Xu Guo's figure moved, wanting to exit the passage, but when he was about to fly out, he encountered an invisible obstacle and was forced to stop.

"Can't fly out," Xu Guo couldn't help but say.

"You, try again to see if you can continue to enter this passage," Li Yuan suddenly pointed to an armored soldier.

"Yes." This armored soldier immediately flew out, but before he could approach the passage, he was obstructed by an invisible force and couldn't continue forward.

At this time.

Everyone understood that each passage should only allow one person to enter.

And the reason the Nebula Extreme Void Shuttle couldn't enter was probably because it was scanned to have more than one person inside.

"Jiang Xuan, what do you think?" Li Yuan looked at the young girl on the side.

"We have no choice but to break through, Brother Xu," Jiang Xuan gritted her teeth: "I once heard that in the early days of the Abyss Demon Blood Cave, there weren't so many fierce beasts, but another trial method, only later there was a huge upheaval... Perhaps what we are facing now is the true face of the Abyss Demon Blood Cave."

"Hmm," Li Yuan was thoughtful.

"Then let's break through." Li Yuan's heart moved, and the Nebula Extreme Void Shuttle beside him shrank rapidly and was quickly stored away by Li Yuan into his storage treasure.

"Xu Guo, these passages should all be the same. You follow the guidance and continue to break through," Li Yuan said.

"Okay," Xu Guo nodded and couldn't help but look at Jiang Xuan: "Your Highness, please be careful and pay attention to safety."

"I will," Jiang Xuan nodded heavily and couldn't help but say: "Uncle Guo, you also be careful, you must survive."

"Haha."

"Even the Blood Demons didn't kill me, how could I, Xu Guo, not survive, so I can go back and brag to others," Xu Guo laughed.

Immediately, Xu Guo turned into a stream of light and disappeared at the end of the passage.

In reality, everyone was a bit worried.

If this was really the true face of the Abyss Demon Blood Cave, and no intelligence had leaked out for such a long time, it already explained the problem.

No danger now didn't mean no danger later.

"Brother Xu."

"Once we separate here, I don't know if we can meet again," Jiang Xuan looked at Li Yuan and bowed slightly: "If we can all survive and get out... I hope Brother Xu can come to the Abyss Nation capital, and I will definitely express my gratitude to you in person."

"Okay," Li Yuan nodded.

Time passed, and Jiang Xuan and the several armored soldiers under her command each chose a passage to enter.

The process was exactly the same as Xu Guo's. Once they stepped in, they would receive guidance and couldn't retreat, and others couldn't enter the same passage.

Finally, in this giant spherical hall, only Li Yuan was left.

"Sister, which passage should I take?" Li Yuan transmitted. Although he knew a lot of information, he had experienced very little.

"Don't take any, wait!" Gu You transmitted.

Li Yuan was slightly stunned. Wait? But he still obeyed and waited patiently in the void.

Time passed.

This wait lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, the passages entered by the several armored soldiers, which were originally bright, dimmed one after another, becoming the same as the other passages.

Only the passages of Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo remained bright.

"This?" Li Yuan's vigilance rose sharply.

"If my guess is correct, these armored soldiers should all be dead," Gu You transmitted.

"Sister, why didn't you tell me at the beginning?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

"I was only guessing," Gu You transmitted: "To verify whether these passages are safe or have life-threatening dangers, people have to try. These people were all pathfinding for you."

"I know your personality."

"Therefore, I took the liberty not to tell you," Gu You said: "Now continue to wait and see if Jiang Xuan and Xu Guo will die."

Clearly, invisibly, Gu You had already treated Jiang Xuan and the others as pawns.

Time passed, and Li Yuan stood quietly in the void.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, an hour... Very abruptly, the passage Xu Guo entered also dimmed.

Is Xu Guo dead? Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

This was life-and-death roaming, danger was unpredictable, and a slight carelessness would lead to death.

"They chose the passages randomly, with no pattern to be seen," Gu You transmitted: "Flying-realm cultivators will die, and Demigod-realm cultivators will also die... In terms of strength, Xu Guo is much stronger than Jiang Xuan, but Jiang Xuan has lived to the end."

"Then we can make a deduction: there will be dangers in these passages, but the difficulty faced by trial-takers should be different. Perhaps it's judged by realm, perhaps by age... In short, your hope of survival should be very high," Gu You said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, having to admire Gu You's judgment ability.

Another two hours passed.

The passage where Jiang Xuan was located was still bright!

"Start breaking through," Gu You transmitted: "Before breaking through, you can enter the Ancient God Palace and try whether you can enter while hiding in the Ancient God Palace."

"Okay."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan's heart moved, and he entered the Ancient God Palace. Then, the Ancient God Palace, like dust, began to fly slowly toward one of the passages... The speed was very slow.

Sss~ As soon as the Ancient God Palace approached, it was obstructed by an invisible force and couldn't enter.

"Can't?" Li Yuan shook his head, and his heart moved, and he left the Ancient God Palace.

Immediately.

Li Yuan tried again to ride the Nebula Extreme Void Shuttle and found that he still couldn't enter this passage.

"Can't hide in a warship or cave treasure?" Li Yuan was thoughtful and flew in directly.

As soon as he stepped in.

Clang~ The entire passage lit up abruptly, followed by an invisible fluctuation that passed into Li Yuan's mind: "Trial-taker, go straight, break through the obstacles at the fastest speed. During the process, you are not allowed to hide in warship-type treasures, not allowed to use Law Secret Treasures, not allowed to use puppets, you can only rely on your own strength... Failure means death! Overtime means death! Defiance means death!"

Simple information.

Very rough.

"Not even allowed to use Law Secret Treasures? Overtime means death, but they don't tell me the specific time," Li Yuan was secretly surprised.

With the lessons of Xu Guo and the several armored soldiers, Li Yuan didn't dare to be careless again.

Boom! Li Yuan turned into a stream of light and flew toward the depths of the passage at full speed.

The entire passage was winding and tortuous, stretching for who knows how many kilometers.

Li Yuan also tried to destroy the walls along the way, and then discovered that with his own strength, exploding the Dark Star Divine Spear, he couldn't leave the slightest trace on the passage walls... This was definitely a place left behind by a super powerhouse.

Deep in the passage, a large amount of silver liquid was emerging from both sides of the passage, followed by these silver liquids condensing into humanoid figures.

Each held a battle blade, their faces wearing battle armor, like soldiers.

In the blink of an eye.

In the passage, there were densely packed over a hundred silver-clothed warriors, each with an extraordinary aura.

Boom!

Li Yuan's surface was shimmering with earth-yellow light, approaching rapidly, and he saw those silver-clothed warriors on the passage floor from afar.

At this instant.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! The more than one hundred silent silver figures suddenly flew up, covering the sky and earth, rushing to kill toward Li Yuan.

All radiated a shocking aura.

"All level 35? Not living beings, but more like liquid robots," Li Yuan thought to himself: "No wonder those several Flying-realm armored soldiers all died... Jiang Xuan, I'm afraid she also fought for her life to survive."

Along the way, Li Yuan had long discovered that Jiang Xuan's strength was actually quite good. Her Law comprehension had reached the six-stage perfection, plus her weapons and armor were all Demigod-grade, and her comprehensive strength was much stronger than Duanmu Hong's.

However, facing a hundred warriors at the peak Flying-realm level, even if she could survive, she would definitely have to spend a considerable amount of time.

"Die!"

Li Yuan's heart moved, his body instantly became ten meters tall, followed by the mighty Heaven and Earth River domain descending, and nine yellow dragons also roared and rushed over.

One encounter!

Rumble! Rumble! Boom! In this narrow passage, it was like a violent flood. Over a hundred silver-clothed warriors were instantly shattered and shredded by the nine yellow dragons, turning into countless silver fragments, falling one after another to the ground.

Li Yuan had already disappeared at the end of the passage.

A large amount of silver fragments then turned into silver liquid, merging into the passage floor.

"It seems."

"As Sister Gu You judged, the difficulty of these passages should be related to the trial-taker's life layer," Li Yuan thought to himself. His confidence in surviving suddenly increased a lot.

... This passage seemed endless.

Li Yuan flew for thousands of kilometers in one breath, encountering several obstacles of silver-clothed warriors and gold-clothed warriors along the way.

The difficulty was getting higher and higher, but for Li Yuan, there was no difference, and he swept through all the way.

Suddenly.

"Hum~" Several gusts of gloomy wind appeared in the passage. The wind was formless, and even with Li Yuan's degree of spatial sensing, he couldn't detect it, and it instantly cut onto his body.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan only felt his body tremble.

This gloomy wind, in the state where Li Yuan maintained the Myriad Things Divine Body, couldn't break the defense of the Nine Dragon Profound Armor at all.

However.

The material attack of this gloomy wind was only on the surface. Accompanied by the trembling of his body, another soul fluctuation had silently invaded Li Yuan's heart world, trying to shake his soul.

"Clatter~"

In Li Yuan's heart world, there was a giant cyan lotus platform.

The moment this soul fluctuation descended, the lotus leaves suddenly bloomed layer by layer, the lotus leaves intertwined with each other like giant sickles cutting, instantly shredding this soul attack.

Void God-level soul secret treasure—Thousand Heart Lotus Platform!

Li Yuan rarely used this soul secret treasure; it was for passive defense. After all, with the strength of Li Yuan's soul will, few enemies could shake it.

But once used, it was enough to prove the danger of the situation!

"What kind of soul attack is this?" Li Yuan was secretly surprised, becoming increasingly vigilant: "Where exactly does this passage lead?"

Up to now, it was a mystery, and Li Yuan knew nothing.

Suddenly.

"Brother, it seems we are almost at the end," Gu You's voice suddenly sounded: "But there seems to be an invisible force obstructing it. I can't scan it, you must be careful."

"Understood," Li Yuan nodded.

Only ten seconds later, Li Yuan saw a light curtain in the distance of the passage, and he could vaguely see that the outside was another hall. Without too much hesitation, Li Yuan plunged in directly.

Everything appeared before his eyes.

This was an extremely vast hall. Except for the passage Li Yuan entered from, there was another passage at the other end of the hall.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw six white bone skeletons on the ground hundreds of meters away.

Six skeletons, some white bones were only left with residual ash, some had relatively complete skeletons.

Clearly, they had died at different times.

Five of the skeletons only had a layer of armor, and there were no weapons or magic treasures... Only the relatively complete skeleton sitting cross-legged in the center had battle armor, weapons, and so on.

"It seems!"

"The treasures left behind by the previous five skeletons have already been taken away by someone," Li Yuan thought to himself: "Being able to break through the previous passages, in the Flying realm, their strength must be extremely powerful."

"It's just a pity that they still all died here."

This scene made Li Yuan increasingly vigilant in his heart.

Whoosh! Li Yuan walked straight up.

His heart moved, and the many treasures left behind by the last skeleton were all collected by Li Yuan.

But like his predecessors, Li Yuan didn't touch his inner armor, which counted as leaving him his final dignity.

"Are there any treasures?" Li Yuan checked quickly: "There are quite a few treasures."

Just Demigod-grade weapons and armor, Li Yuan discovered a large pile, over a hundred pieces.

There were other treasures, such as formations, elixirs, and the like.

"Under normal circumstances, a person wouldn't leave so many treasures; they would definitely take them to exchange for other treasures."

"It seems he collected some of the treasures left by his predecessors," Li Yuan thought to himself: "It's just a pity that he still died here in the end."

"Some treasures have already rotted; it should have been a long time ago."

Weapons are not indestructible.

Even artifacts will gradually rot over long years... In storage treasures, time is not static, and everything will slowly rot.

Of course, the degree of rot of the many treasures left by the dead was not too high, clearly not too long ago.

"They should have died five thousand to ten thousand years ago," Gu You transmitted, making a judgment.

Li Yuan nodded slightly. These weapons and treasures, if one could live and get out, could also be sold, but the price would be much lower than normal treasures.

He collected them all.

"Why would they die here?"

"Before they died, they didn't seem to encounter any danger, as if they were calmly accepting death," Li Yuan's gaze swept in all directions. The entire hall was empty.

Only in the far distance was there a giant painting wall, and under the painting wall was a metal circular platform that merged with the entire hall.

Then there was the passage at the other end of the hall, but Li Yuan didn't dare to break through rashly.

Without figuring out the cause of death of the previous six people, he couldn't break through rashly.

Suddenly.

"Clatter~" A large amount of light shot down from above the hall and quickly gathered to form a humanoid figure, finally condensing into the appearance of a black-robed old man.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan looked on vigilantly and directly activated the Divine Palace scan.

【Target life layer is 0】

It was a phantom.

"Trial-taker, it's a pity you came late." The black-robed old man's aura was ethereal, his figure slightly illusory. He walked step by step to Li Yuan, his voice filled with a hint of regret: "If you had come more than ten thousand years earlier, the many treasures left by the Master would likely have belonged to you."

Li Yuan's heart was shocked.

Came late?

Master?

"May I ask Senior, where exactly is this?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say: "How can I get out?"

"This is a 'place of inheritance' left by my Master, intended to accept a disciple with astonishing talent to inherit his mantle," the black-robed old man said: "That was more than thirty thousand years ago."

"The Master was an existence surpassing a Heavenly God, but he also had great enemies and was hostile to the Starry Sky Ancient City, so he didn't spread this matter widely and only left ten places of inheritance, wanting to accept ten disciples. This is one of them," the black-robed old man said.

Li Yuan had basically understood the origin and was also quite shocked.

This was actually a place of inheritance of a Heavenly God?

"Ten places of inheritance are independent of each other. I don't know the situation of the other nine places of inheritance, but this place of inheritance, more than ten thousand years ago, had already been successfully claimed," the black-robed old man looked at Li Yuan, sighing: "Your strength is the strongest among the Flying-realm cultivators I have seen, and you are so young. If the Master were alive, he would definitely choose you as his disciple... It's just a pity! You came late."

"The treasures are already gone."
