The group looked helplessly at each other and could only leave unwillingly in the end.
At this time, Bei Feng’s injuries had recovered by 50 percent. But this 50 percent was like a bottleneck, and the life force provided by the altar was no longer able to help him recover.
It wasn’t that the altar was incapable of helping him recover, but that Bei Feng could no longer absorb the huge amounts of life force from it. All the life force had been retracted in the instant that the formation had been triggered.
No matter how Bei Feng revolved his cultivation, he could not obtain a single shred more of vitality from the Five-Colored Altar.
“This time, I’ve really given the enemy a wife and lost my soldiers as well 1 ! And it’s all the fault of this f*cking evil source energy!” Bei Feng cursed angrily.
This damn thing had become more and more harmful to him as time passed. It’d only felt an aura that made it uncomfortable, yet it directly escaped his control!
What if he came across a super-powerful expert whose aura just happened to disagree with the evil source energy? Wouldn’t he die an extremely regretful death if the evil source energy decided to take over his body again and attack?
The group continued forward. After three days, a boundless huge structure which stretched across the sky as far as the eye could see came into view.
Powerful energy ripples constantly radiated out from the surface of the structure. From the looks of it, there should be a very strong formation surrounding it. And on the outside of the structure, there was a gigantic public square!
Over a hundred carriages were parked on the square, each one huge beyond comparison and over a thousand zhang tall. Numerous dead strange beasts lay at the head of the carriage, and from the looks of it, they were all flood dragons!
Only when the crowd landed beside the carriages did they see just how terrifying these carriages were. The remnant energies within them would create a heaven-shocking phenomenon if they burst out!
But not every carriage had a dead beast at its head. Of the many carriages in the square, there were only four dead beasts. Although they seemed to have died a long time ago, they did not show any signs of rotting. Their flesh and blood remained, and countless wounds could be seen on their bodies.
“Every single one of these strange beasts is extremely powerful. From the looks of it, they should have gone through a huge battle and were slain in the battle. These carriages also show countless marks of battle,” someone said after examining the carriages carefully.
They could only say that the beasts that pulled the carriages were extremely powerful, but nobody could tell to what extent.
“Dang!”
Wang Wuyou did no say a single word, and directly used a half meter long black golden nail that was hidden in his palm to stab towards one of the strange beasts!
A loud metallic clanging sound rang out, and Wang Wuyou’s hands trembled slightly. The black golden nail directly shattered and the strange beast remained completely unharmed!
There wasn’t even a tiny mark on its scales, which scared the crowd into silence.
“Broken Sky Hammer!”
The Water Ape also grew excited as a silver armor appeared on its body. Its strength directly soared to the Transcendent level and its muscles bulged as it smashed a fist towards the carriage!
“Peng!”
A dull thud rang out, and the Water Ape retracted its fist with a puzzled expression. The force of its punch seemed to have been absorbed by the carriage, and apart from a faint sound, there weren’t any effects.
“What are these things?” a person asked with a complicated expression. The more one knew, the more one could see their own insignificance. Everyone here was considered a powerful expert on Earth, but the things they saw here completely caused them to doubt their lives.
An unknown light shone in his eyes as Ling Xu stood out and said, “I feel that these are the things that we came here for! No matter what, I’ve decided to give it a try. The structure before should be impossible to enter, and there are no paths left for us.”
“What do you mean?” The Water Ape’s gruff voice sounded out.
“In the ancient times, the carriages that the emperors and princes rode on for long distances were called roads! And with the might of the Qin Dynasty, given that we can’t even guess what realm the beasts that pulled the carriages were at, the kind of “trips” that the Qin Emperor and the royalty goes on now becomes a question mark. Do you really think that such trips would be on our tiny Earth?
“The few of us are only at the Controlled Dan realm, and we can already fly through the air. And for Transcendent realm experts, even if they couldn’t survive for long in space, there still shouldn’t be a problem for them to stay there for a few days, right? In that case, what about these strange beasts that are far above the Transcendent realm?
“I’ll put it another way. In that era, the Qin Dynasty had already unified the six states. So what are these carriages for? Is it really for leisurely travels around Earth? For Transcendent realm experts, they only need to spend a bit of time and they could fly several rounds around the Earth, not to mention these terrifying beasts. Perhaps it would only take one day? Or even several hours for them to go one round around the Earth!”
The light in Ling Xu’s eyes shone brighter and brighter the more he said.
“You’re saying that these carriages were made for interstellar travels?!”
The Drought Demon that had not said a single word from start to end suddenly spoke up. Its voice was hoarse and sandy, and was extremely unbearable to listen to.
“Yes! Exactly!”
Ling Xu nodded his head resolutely.
The Cerberus looked at the agitated crowd and uttered coldly, “But the beasts that pulled the carriages are already dead, are you going to pull the carriage for us?”
As soon as its words came out of its mouth, everyone froze as they looked at the Cerberus.
“The f*ck are you all looking at? This Lord Dog is speaking the facts!”
Seeing so many people looking at it, the Cerberus hurriedly ran and hid behind Bei Feng.
Ling Xu’s face darkened as his lips trembled lightly. In that moment, he wished he could strangle this coarse creature with his bare hands!
“No matter what, this should be our last chance. I’ll go up and take a look.”
Ling Xu snorted and shot the Cerberus a glance as he directly stepped into the carriage.
The crowd froze for a slight moment before they, too, gritted their teeths and followed him in.
Bai Xiang turned around and asked, “Boss, are we going in too?”
“Let’s go in and take a look.”
Bei Feng sighed lightly and turned towards the carriage. They were all ducks driven up the perch at this point, and there was no longer any way to return.
The path behind him was now covered in darkness, and it was impossible to see anything. Even his mental power could not extend past the darkness. This was not the same situation as when they came here.
Bei Feng didn’t know if the others had discovered this or not, or if they’d discovered it and not said anything. In any case, these carriages were the last and only hope for everyone.
There were still many Demonic Beasts lingering in the square outside. Apart from the 10-plus cultivators in the carriage, only 30-something Demonic Beasts had followed Ling Xu in.
While the outside of the carriage looked huge, the inside was even more spacious. It was simply a small-scale seperate space!
The most eye-catching area in the seperate space was a patch of black soil that extended beyond what the eye could see. An orange ball that resembled the sun hung high above. Countless spirit plants were planted in the black soil, but they’d all withered by now.
“That’s a Blood God Flower! There’s no mistake, this old one has personally seen a stalk of 500 years old Blood God Flower with my own eyes before!”
“What’s a Blood God Flower worth? Look at that stalk of Aconitum! Heavens, just which exalted being did this carriage belong to?”
The group of cultivators was practically bleeding internally as they looked at the vast stretch of treasured spirit herbs before them. With just a few steps, they’d already discovered several types of spirit herbs that could be considered a top grade treasure in the outside world! Every single plant here would be worth fighting over if it was before.
The group moved slowly, hoping to find any spirit herb that could still be plucked. But so far, they didn’t find even a single stalk of living spirit herb.
“What is this? A Tiger Tally 2 ?”
The Water Ape’s brows shot up as it bent down and picked up a fist-sized token. This token was crafted in the shape of the head of a tiger.
The Water Ape observed the tally carefully but didn’t discover anything. It looked extremely ordinary, like a normal item. Not paying it any more mind, it directly chucked the Tiger Tally behind it.
Bei Feng happened to be walking behind it, and caught it with one hand curiously.
Before he could react, the tally morphed into black light which instantly shot into his head!
“Hm?”
Bei Feng cocked his head uncertainly as he inspected his entire body with his mental power. However, there weren’t any traces of the token at all.
If he hadn’t seen the tally jumping into his head, he probably would not have believed that such a thing had happened. He even searched his soul, but there wasn’t any trace of that thing.
Outside the carriage, the strange beast suddenly moved its whiskers and spat out a breath of air!
Black Qi flowed out of the nostrils of the flood dragon-like beast, surging towards the Demonic Beasts that were lingering outside!
“Hou!”
“Ao!”
The several hundred Demonic Beasts outside were not weak, but at this time, all of them began to cry in fear and agony!
About two, three breaths from the time that the black Qi flowed out, all the Demonic Beasts had been turned into corpses!
A moment later, the black Qi coiled back, returning to the strange beast.
All of a sudden, the strange beast began to move! In an instant, the huge beast stood up and its blood and Qi erupted like a volcano, turning even the entire space into a blood-red color!
Numerous blood-red flames appeared on the strange beast’s body as its blood and Qi was ignited!
The carriage suddenly shook violently as the strange beast pulled the carriage into the air. With a furious swipe, it slashed down on the air before it!
“Rip!”
A sound like cloth being ripped apart rang out as the space was directly torn open, revealing a large gap!
The strange beast’s body shook briefly before it dove into the spatial rift!
Inside the carriage, Bei Feng and the rest did not feel anything at all as they continued loking for clues.
At this time, everyone was staring dumbfounded at a scene before their eyes. Several hundred 10 zhang tall creatures with bull horns on their heads and bat-like wings on their backs stood before them.
Opposite these creatures were large numbers of gleaming bones wrapped in armor. Most likely, these bones belonged to humans.
The crowd could not help but think of the numerous battle marks on the carriage when they first came here. These creatures should be the ones who attacked the carriage? And from the looks of it, they had all died in here.
A strange smell permeated the area, causing everyone to feel uneasy.
One of the Demonic Beasts moved forward tentatively and sent out an attack towards the group of creatures in a probing manner. In that moment, the countless black-colored blood seemed to have received some kind of shock as a black light shot out, and an aura flashed as if the creatures were coming back to life!
This aura was enough to make everyone’s sweat roll down their backs.
But the strange phenomenon only lasted for a brief instant before it disappeared, resuming the previous calm.
Everyone loosed a breath of relief and hurriedly left the area. These creatures had died an unknown number of years before, but just the blood that’d been shed on the ground was enough to startle them.
If these creatures were alive, just a shred of their blood and Qi would be sufficient to kill everyone!
“Shua!”
A light sound suddenly rang out, and everybody immediately fell mute with shock.
“A-am I dreaming?”
A monkey Demonic Beast rubbed its eyes and its mouth dropped wide open.
“Snort, snort! How beautiful!”
A pig jumped excitedly on the spot as it supported its huge nose.
“That’s space!”
“Is this some kind of reenaction function of the carriage, showing the past scenes?” someone asked dully, obviously not daring to believe that they were finally leaving the Earth.
At this time, numerous large, colorful planets and stars flashed past the window, causing everyone to fall silent with shock and intoxication. It was hard to imagine how a gathering of planets in the endless darkness could actually form such a beautiful display!
