Chapter 1144: Treasure Cavern

After Li Luo opened his eyes, he did not immediately take any action, but stood there with a calm expression, not even circulating the phase force within his body.

He had now come into contact with quite a number of aberrant creatures, and he understood very well what kind of hidden dangers those who had been polluted would bring, especially since they were still within the projection of the "Ten Thousand Souls Ghost Skin Yu," so the others would certainly be wary and on guard against any changes that happened to him.

And Li Luo's quietness also caused the people beside him to all heave a sigh of relief, and the phase force they had been secretly circulating also gradually converged somewhat.

"Li Luo, how are you?" Feng Lingyuan hurriedly asked.

Li Luo said with a calm expression: "It probably isn't too good."

He lowered his head to look at his left arm, only to see that the originally normal arm now already showed signs of "aberration," the arm having grown several times thicker, with blood vessels crisscrossing over it, looking especially ferocious, and at the back of the hand, a blood-red lump had bulged out, with a crack splitting open at the center of the lump, as if it were a ghost eye about to open but not yet opened.

Compared with that other normal arm, this left arm was truly like a ferocious and bizarre "ghost arm," looking extremely terrifying.

"Li Luo, we are going to conduct some consciousness tests on you next, to see if you remain lucid. Can you understand?" Feng Lingyuan hesitated for a moment before asking.

Li Luo nodded. He knew this was the academy's procedure when dealing with some polluted individuals.

So next, Feng Lingyuan began to ask some questions. These were an interrogation of some of Li Luo's previous memories, to see if he had a clear cognition, because once one's mind was polluted, there would be some gaps in one's memories of the past, and thus one would answer irrelevantly to some questions.

But Li Luo had not reached that stage. The evil aura was locked within his left arm by him and had not spread, so he calmly answered all of Feng Lingyuan's questions.

After the last question was asked, Feng Lingyuan finally let out a complete sigh of relief, and the wariness in her gaze toward Li Luo was withdrawn as she comforted him: "Li Luo, don't worry too much. Your pollution isn't serious. Once we return to the academy, with the vice presidents taking action, they should be able to help you purge the pollution."

Li Luo nodded and asked: "What about the Blood Coffin Man?"

"He ran. After fusing with the other half of the blood egg, he fled directly. We didn't dare to pursue rashly." Li Hongyou answered from the side.

A trace of cold intent flashed through Li Luo's eyes. This Blood Coffin Man had truly played him dirty this time. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely grind this bastard to dust!

"Senior Sister Hongyou, I should thank you for earlier." Li Luo also expressed his gratitude to Li Hongyou, for he had also sensed Li Hongyou's help when he was dealing with the problems within his body.

"And Senior Sister Yin Yue as well." Li Luo also looked toward Yin Yue Zhiyu. Although this woman always spoke with barbs toward him because of Jiang Qing'e, she still stepped in when it mattered.

Li Hongyou merely smiled and shook her head, while Yin Yue Zhiyu crossed her arms over her chest and said with a curl of her lip: "You brat, just take care of yourself. Although your pollution isn't deep, that 'blood egg' is bizarre. We will be conducting some monitoring on you afterward, so don't do anything overly rash."

Li Luo didn't really mind this, after all, the others also needed to be responsible for the safety of the team.

He glanced at his ferocious "ghost arm" and tried to urge it, but his left arm seemed to no longer be his, not moving in the slightest.

Li Luo felt helpless inwardly. He hadn't expected to become a one-armed hero.

He shook his head and once again cast his gaze toward the blood pool ahead, only to discover that the blood water within the pool had already dried up, with only a massive "Ten Thousand Skin Evil Heart Pillar" standing tall, but this pillar also seemed to have lost its energy source and was beginning to grow dim and lusterless.

"Li Luo, we plan to directly destroy the 'Ten Thousand Skin Evil Heart Pillar' next, to completely break the 'Ten Thousand Souls Ghost Skin Yu' here and restore the original environment of the Little Sky Heaven." Feng Lingyuan said.

The students hanging above were all rescued. Originally they had planned to act earlier, but were delayed by the matter of the "blood egg."

Li Luo naturally had no objections. Their main mission in entering the "Little Sky Heaven" this time was to destroy these "Ten Thousand Skin Evil Heart Pillars." After all the hardships and difficulties, they were finally about to complete it.

He just didn't know how the progress of the teams in other areas was going, because judging from this vast environment, they would probably find it hard to rush to aid other places.

So next, everyone gathered outside the blood pool, and then streams of majestic phase force rose up. The people urged their own treasures, carrying tremendous fluctuations, bombarding the towering pillar in an overwhelming barrage.

Boom boom!

The ceaseless sounds of energy upheaval rang out.

As everyone attacked with all their might, the "Ten Thousand Skin Evil Heart Pillar," having lost its energy source, could no longer bear it. Cracks were seen appearing on its surface, and then rapidly spreading.

When the "Ten Thousand Skin Evil Heart Pillar" showed signs of shattering, the surrounding space also began to twist.

This majestic and expansive "Water City," with its countless houses and buildings, all began to show signs of blurring.

The feeling was as if an ink painting had been thrown into water, with everything within being dissolved by the water.

In the end, the "Ten Thousand Skin Evil Heart Pillar" could no longer bear it and exploded with a rumble. Rolling, chilling energy swept out, like a storm forming across the horizon.

But as the storm swept past, the first to disappear was the Water City where everyone was.

All the buildings vanished without a trace.

Even this pitch-black lake ceased to exist. The air within a region of a thousand li in all directions became fresh, and the previous chilling sensation rapidly receded.

The speed of that receding was almost enough to give one the feeling that everything experienced before had been an illusion.

The crowd's expressions were dazed, but they were immediately awakened by an extremely pure fluctuation of heaven and earth energy. They looked toward the place where the "Ten Thousand Skin Evil Heart Pillar" had disappeared, only to see that there seemed to be a bottomless cavern there. Endless treasure light whistled out from within the cavern, and that pure heaven and earth energy was surging out from it.

In the places visible to the naked eye within the cavern, clusters of precious herbs could be seen growing tall in the wind, all of which appeared to be no ordinary items.

In the deeper reaches, there was even more intense radiance flowing, with the heaven and earth energy even fogging there, as if some creature were breathing it in and out.

The eyes of everyone present grew fervent.

The location of the "Ten Thousand Skin Evil Heart Pillar" was also one of the gathering points of heaven and earth energy within the "Little Sky Heaven." If properly developed, it would almost be a rare cultivation treasure ground.

And the "Little Sky Heaven" had been sealed for myriad years, naturally having accumulated extremely rich cultivation resources.

Outside the cavern, many students couldn't help licking their lips, looking as if they could barely restrain themselves.

"Everyone, take the treasures as you wish, each according to his own ability."

After communicating with a few of the top students, Feng Lingyuan then said to the others.

And as her words fell, the figures of Feng Lingyuan and the others had already plunged into the cavern first, which naturally included Li Luo.

After a life-and-death great battle, it was time for some sweet rewards.

And just as Li Luo and the others were impatiently entering the cavern to search for treasures, outside the void of the "Little Sky Heaven," two super beings confronting each other also sensed some changes within this space. "Today is the last day of the Year of the Rabbit. Wishing brothers a Happy New Year's Eve and a happy family reunion!

In the new year, I hope brothers achieve success in their studies, stay healthy, encounter only joy, and gain only goodness."
