This is the bottom of the ancient ruins, the fifth floor, hundreds or thousands of meters from the surface. The surroundings are incredibly quiet.
The footsteps passed by, making bursts of noise.
The Secret Martial Arts team led by Kaxiu flew through the ruins and ran towards the dangerous area not far away. Soon, one or two minutes passed.
A dilapidated stone bridge appeared before everyone's eyes, and under the stone bridge there was a dry stream, which was overgrown with weeds and looked dilapidated.
"The danger zone is just across the street?"
Kaxiu stood on the edge of the stone bridge, looking far away at the other side with sharp eyes.
There were weeds, rocks, and ruins there. It looked like a very ordinary scene, without any special anomalies or dangerous atmosphere.
Everyone paused for a moment, and finally Kaxiu took the lead and walked over.
Cross the stone bridge and step on the other side.
The surrounding scene suddenly became blurry, and the weeds and gravel on both sides of his sight stretched backwards like clouds and mist, rapidly moving away. It looked like a conveyor belt appeared where Kaxiu was standing. He was clearly standing still, but the environment kept changing, and in an instant he was far away.
Kaxiu had experienced this kind of hazy feeling before.
That was when he first entered Black Rain Villa. It was as if he had come to another mysterious realm that was isolated from the world. It was as if he had passed through a membrane, and the inside and outside were two different worlds and two different environments.
"Interesting, is this an inherent ability at that level? Just by existing, one can influence and distort the real environment. Or is the environment special in the first place, and Black Rain Villa and the Ultimate Dark Body deliberately chose these places..."
Kaxiu guessed this in his heart.
He recalled the fourth time he went back to the Aoyin Ruins. The old man he met with extreme boxing used his remaining spirit to directly unfold a world that was difficult to distinguish between true and false. Kaxiu practiced boxing in it, died in it, and was reborn in it. Even the flow of time inside and outside was different. Perhaps, the first situation he just guessed was more likely than the second situation.
In a flash, everyone arrived at a strange area.
The feeling of dryness and heat penetrated into the body from the outside world, like a poisonous snake, twisting and wriggling on the surface of the skin, making people feel uncomfortable.
Crash, crash…
Is it raining? No, it’s snowing, the snow of all gray.
Looking up, the ash fragments like light catkins fell from the sky densely, like colorful snowflakes. There was a fast air current in the air, which immediately brought large pieces of ash out of the wave-like arc trajectory visible to the naked eye. The ash fell to the ground, rustling, revealing a sense of dead silence and loneliness. It was like the struggle of life but still could not stop fading.
As Kaxiu looked around, the whiteness spread to every corner, like a thick blanket. The hillside, the plain, the gravel, the trees, all seemed to have arrived in the depths of winter, all covered in silver. But this winter-like scene was not cold at all, but rather hot.
The air seemed to be filled with fire poison, cold, growing and spreading.
Sizzle... Sizzle...
In the Secret Martial Arts camp, a fighter wrapped in spirit touched the falling ash and immediately reacted. The ash disintegrated and two streams of air rushed into his body. But the spirit spontaneously repelled them and annihilated them. Suddenly, there was a sound of grease being burned by flames.
"These ashes will greatly deplete our spirit..."
Many fighters showed a slightly fearful look.
"It exacerbates the darkness in us!"
At the Black Rain Villa, the faces of many Night Evils changed. They improved their strength through the Black Rain Villa, but it also caused some dark matter to remain in their bodies. Sometimes when too much dark matter accumulated, the Night Evils would go crazy. Their minds became abnormal and extremely aggressive.
And this sky full of gray seems to be able to bring about this kind of darkness.
This kind of environment can be said to be very restraining to Nightmare.
Among all the people present, only Xiemu and Kaxiu were basically unaffected. Needless to say, Xiemu was originally a dark creature, and entering this environment was like returning home. As for Kaxiu, when he was still working with the Ghost Knight to enter the Pale Earth, he was already able to transform into a golem and was almost immune to the ash. Not to mention that the golem secret weapon is now evolving again.
"Interesting, the environment here is surprisingly similar to the Pale Land of the Disaster World. Is it a coincidence? Or is it that the barrier between the Disaster World and the real world has been broken in this area, causing the two to overlap?"
Kaxiu narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to guess.
"Or, the so-called pale source is right here!"
"It is the ultimate form of darkness hidden in the darkness of the Eternal Islands!"
He immediately thought of the mission list from Black Rain Villa that the Ghost Iron Knight had, which revealed some information about the Pale Land.
The reason why the Pale Earth was formed was because there was a huge plant that could grow infinitely and was immortal, and it was covered by a ball of eternally burning flames. Thus, a strange balance was formed.
The pale source is eternally burning, standing at the boundary between destruction and rebirth, constantly repeating the process of death and rebirth. After burning, the grass and trees turn into black ashes, while after burning, life turns into white ashes.
Kaxiu is different now. With the help of the Xiadu Sin Demon Well, he can almost see the situation of the world of disaster. Kaxiu's understanding of the Dark Ultimate Body and the Holy Fist has increased a lot. The situation of the Pale Source is abnormal. How can a plant want to be burned by fire
Obviously, the Eternal Flame is an attack, an attack specifically targeting the Pale Source, an equally immortal plant. Only eternal burning can restrain infinite growth and keep it in a state of neither life nor death forever. Only the Holy Fist level can achieve this level.
There was a Holy Fist who, long ago, faced the Pale Source. He found a way to restrain the Pale Source, releasing an eternally burning flame. This flame is probably similar to the infinitely growing spirit of the Holy Fist, and is specifically used to fight against powerful enemies.
The pale source was half-disabled after being hit by this move. The ever-growing vitality and strength were burned out by the flames. It could only stay in a balanced position forever, and its condition was estimated to have declined significantly.
"So, on this journey, I can get pale tree seeds and eternal flames again? What a pleasant surprise..." Kaxiu muttered to himself.
He always remembered the good things related to improving strength. For example, the soul jade in the Howling Canyon can nourish the spirit. The pale tree species can parasitize the spirit, giving it a certain immortality. Then burn it with the immortal flame. After enduring the horrible pain, the whole body's spirit will usher in an extreme tempering. Impurities are evaporated, and the power is condensed and sublimated.
Kaxiu originally planned to enter the world of disaster to look for these rare items after the Golem Secret Weapon was completely upgraded to 100% perfection in the spirit chapter and its strength reached a bottleneck. Unexpectedly, this time the good stuff came to him. Of course, the premise is that he still has the life to enjoy it.
The ashes fell down with a rustling sound, forming a realm similar to the pale earth.
"Those who have shelter stones can choose to continue moving forward. Those who have extra stones can share them with each other. Those who really don't have any can retreat temporarily. Don't hold on, or it will cause internal unrest and turn friendly forces into enemies..."
Ripple Master Monkey said to the group of evil night visitors at Black Rain Villa.
Immediately, the Night Evils took out a number of green stones the size of finger joints. The stones emitted light and resisted the disaster of ash.
This item, called the Shelter Stone, can protect the printer from being harmed in a high-concentration disaster environment for ten hours. However, the number is quite rare, and it is an expensive one-time consumable. Of course, those present are all top-level Knight-level Night Monsters, and they are basically always available.
Even if some people don't have any, everyone can at least get one. Ten hours should be enough to finish the battle.
Everything is ready.
The whole team set off again, heading towards the center of this gray realm. As for how everyone knew that was the center, of course it was the conspicuous giant tree in the distance, the tall tree stump standing like a pillar of heaven.
It’s hard not to see.
On the other side, at the moment when Kaxiu and others appeared in the Gray Realm.
At the exit from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, the face of the wood spirit who was about to lead the people of Paradise to stop the Secret Martial Realm team suddenly changed. The spirits behind who were completely controlled by the Cangyuan Root were even more panicked.
They suddenly turned around and ran towards their nest.
"How did they get from the first floor to the fifth floor in an instant?!"
"Damn it, Paradise is empty now, and all the fighting forces have been brought out by me. These invaders can come in at this time without any obstacles, as if they were walking on flat ground. They will soon be able to reach the Root of Cangyuan!"
Several thoughts flashed through Mu Ling's mind, and he immediately ran back the way he came. His speed kept increasing, and his black cloak fluttered and rustled.
The Cangyuan Root has been in a state of barely balanced state for thousands of years. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it will never take action to break its own balance, which will cost it dearly. For example, 20 years ago, the Cangyuan Root forcibly controlled the wood spirit, which weakened it for a while. Not to mention being besieged by a large number of invaders approaching its main body.
If you don't take action, you will just be beaten and destroyed, which will cause you to be weak for a period of time. There is a certain probability that your balance will be completely lost.
When you strike, you release your power, and a single move will affect the entire body. This will also cause an imbalance, with the eternal flames burning fiercely and the arrogance rising continuously, which may lead to a terrible situation of endless weakness.
This is something that Cangyuan Gen cannot accept.
Fortunately, in addition to Paradise, it also controlled the alien species on the Eternal Life Island for thousands of years. Driving these alien species out might be able to stop the invaders for a while until Mu Ling and others returned.
In the center of the Gray Realm, a towering tree stump stood. Its roots, as thick as a terrifying giant python, shook for a moment, as if it was abnormally angry.
"Damn Yan Yang, damn Bai Niao, if it weren't for you two bastards, how could I have fallen to this point?!"
The will of the Cangyuan Root fluctuated violently, causing the roots that spread like a spider web to every corner of the Eternal Life Island to tremble.
It is the ultimate form of darkness, but only half of it. The other half is in the Pale Earth of the Disaster World. The combination of the two is the Pale Source! In ancient times, the Pale Source was restrained by a powerful Holy Fist named Yan Yang. The two constantly confronted and fought. The terrain of the Pale Earth was destroyed over and over again, and the power was transmitted in infinite fluctuations.
During this process, the Holy Fist of the Flaming Sun gradually fell behind. Although he was powerful, the Pale Source was close to the level of the Totem King and the Blood True Ancestor in his heyday. If it weren't for the Holy Fist of the Flaming Sun's boxing characteristics that restrained the ultimate plant-type dark body, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
Thousands of years ago, the battle between the two sides intensified, and the advantage of the Pale Source became more and more obvious. It even thought about capturing and controlling the Holy Fist of the Flaming Sun alive, treating it as the best nutrient that could be produced continuously. It would make its own strength even better and completely reach the level of the Totem King. After several years of fighting, the Pale Source did it. It successfully suppressed the Holy Fist of the Flaming Sun and brought it back to its nest, ready to enjoy this delicacy.
However, there is a poison in the delicious food.
The Flaming Sun Holy Fist did it on purpose. He wanted the Pale Source to absorb him. During that period of time, the humans in the Disaster World were at a disadvantage and could only barely maintain balance. If he lost the battle and freed up the top combat power like the Pale Source, it would definitely cause serious consequences. Even if the Disaster side used it properly, the three pillars of the Nan Dou lineage, the three strongest Holy Fists, might be at risk of being damaged!
Therefore, the Flame Sun Holy Fist chose to ignite his spirit and push the characteristics of the fist to the extreme. If the spirit is not extinguished, the flame will not be extinguished. The characteristic of the Holy Fist level is that the spirit is endless, and the flame is also endless.
This tactic of destroying both parties is extremely painful.
Because the caster has to endure the pain of self-immolation for endless years, and even his will has to remain clear in the pain to ensure that his spirit and flames are not extinguished. Only in this way can he barely contain the pale source.
That day, the pale source's lair was ablaze, and endless white ash was scattered in every corner of that special area. Wherever the ash fell, the flames burned, endlessly, and entangled until the end.
Later, that special area was called the Pale Land.
The Pale Source was entangled by the Eternal Flame. It tried various methods to get rid of it, and even thought of splitting into two, so that one part of the body could deceive the Eternal Flame. It also thought of escaping from the world of disaster into the real world, and the space would completely isolate the two. Later, the Pale Source chose to use both.
It found a weak point between the disaster world and the real world.
After preparing for a long time, it used special means to split itself into two.
The tree roots carrying consciousness suddenly rushed into the real world!
However, after entering the real world, Cangbaiyuantou suddenly discovered that this seemed to be an underground relic, and next to it was a mummy. It was not an ordinary mummy, but the remains left by the White Bird Holy Fist in the real world!
trap!
I got scammed!
!
The Pale Source immediately realized that something was wrong.
But it was too late.
The backup plan left by the White Bird Holy Fist was activated, and the spirit world unfolded. It directly wrapped the pale source and locked it firmly in place.
And from one of the roots of the pale source, a golden-red flame suddenly emerged. That was the power that the Holy Fist of the Flaming Sun had deliberately concealed!
The Eternal Flame begins to burn once again, and history repeats itself.
The Pale Source was split in two, and fell into a semi-disabled state. It could only barely maintain its balance, remotely train the Ripple Master, and find a way to escape.
But now, before it could get away, something unexpected happened.
Kaxiu barged in, seemingly intending to end it all!
The Pale Source may become the first dark ultimate being to be completely killed by a non-holy fist-level being. Bad luck is coming and it cannot be stopped...
