Countless white mists dispersed, and under the shroud of the endless white fog, a gigantic sphere over a hundred billion kiloters in diater appeared in Li Yuan and his companions’ view.
This enormous sphere’s surface faintly glimred with countless bizarre golden lights. The golden lights flowed and shimred beneath the mist, appearing even more dazzling.
Even with the perceptive abilities of Li Yuan and the Jue Xing Divine Emperor, they could barely discern the bounds of this sphere.
Only with the help of the Star Sky God Emperor could the size of the sphere be confird.
"So vast, is this a planet? Doesn’t quite seem like one. Could it be a palace?" the Jue Xing Divine Emperor exhaled in astonishnt: "It’s much bigger than any ancient ruins we’ve explored in the past."
"Disciple, it seems the danger of this ancient ruin is much greater than we anticipated!"
Ancient ruins co in various forms: so are planet-like, so resemble lakes, so take the form of palaces, and others are like black holes... Their internal spaces vary drastically; so are vast and boundless, like the expansive space inside Demon Heart Lake.
anwhile, others are quite small, like the famous ’Third Corpse Storage Realm,’ whose interior is only ten thousand miles in size.
However, the external area of most ancient ruins doesn’t cover a significant expanse, usually around ten billion kiloters.
But one as peculiar and expansive as this sphere? Extrely rare!
"Indeed, it’s an enormous area," the Star Sky God Emperor solemnly acknowledged, "Based on experience, the larger the ancient ruin, the greater the danger."
"Most crucial of all."
"In all the intelligence I know of, this ancient ruin has never been ntioned, implying it could be brand new," the Star Sky God Emperor said.
"My intelligence has no relevant records either," the Jue Xing Divine Emperor added.
Li Yuan listened silently, for in his knowledge, no ancient ruins compared to this colossal sphere.
A brand-new ancient ruin represents opportunity, with treasures inside yet to be claid, making it easy to reap great benefits.
But it’s generally fraught with danger, too.
Because without any prior intelligence for reference, everything is unknown, and a Dominator might even perish if not careful.
Even a Supre might find themselves entirely trapped.
Now.
It was ti for Li Yuan and his companions to choose again... Faced with such a colossal, new ancient ruin, should they continue exploring or retreat?
After all, their current destination was Demon Heart Lake.
"Master, Starry Sky, it seems you both still wish to venture," Li Yuan stated calmly, "A brand-new, enormous ancient ruin indeed has the potential for great opportunity."
"And we might be the first powerful beings to arrive."
"Then let’s explore." Li Yuan felt a tinge of determination; although reaching Demon Heart Lake was crucial, making key decisions at certain monts was equally important.
Such a great opportunity lay before them; retreating out of fear of unknown risks might lead to future regrets.
Moreover.
Li Yuan had already conveyed a ssage to the Heart Dream God Emperor, seeking advice... Heart Dream God Emperor simply said: "Decide for yourself."
At this mont,
"Boom~" The surface golden lights of the enormous sphere ahead suddenly beca intensely radiant and boundless, rendering the entire sphere into what seed like a golden orb, with countless white mists now harboring an illusory feeling... shortly followed by the stirring of the mists.
Buzz~ Buzz~ The massive sphere visibly trembled, gradually revealing a multitude of passages leading deeper into the sphere.
Passages were densely packed!
Within the observation range of Li Yuan and his companions, they saw at least dozens of passages... suggesting that the entire sphere likely had several hundred erging passages.
"Based on prior exploration experience of ancient ruins."
"These passages should lead deeper into the ruins," the Star Sky God Emperor transmitted, "Alliance Hierarch, let’s get going and see what’s inside, but rember to be careful."
"I’ll go in first. If danger arises, I have the highest chance of escaping," the Star Sky God Emperor offered, stepping to the forefront.
Entering first generally carried the highest risk.
Certainly.
With a wave of the hand, an Emperor Puppet appeared before the Star Sky God Emperor, bowed, and then led the way for the three.
"An Emperor Puppet?" Li Yuan felt a stir but wasn’t surprised, as many in the Emperor Realm carried such puppets during life-and-death expeditions.
At critical monts, they could also be useful.
Previously, they hadn’t released one since its strength was too weak for direct combat... and intense battles made weak Emperor Puppets easy to capture or destroy.
The Emperor Puppet led, followed by the Star Sky God Emperor, with Li Yuan and the Jue Xing Divine Emperor bringing up the rear.
As they neared the sphere’s surface and its passages, its vastness and imnsity beca more evident... The boundless golden light and intense aura shocked them.
Compared to this enormous sphere, Li Yuan and his allies seed insignificant.
In both size and aura, they were far weaker.
"Even a Supre doesn’t possess such an aura," Li Yuan transmitted to Little Tomb, describing the exterior scene.
"Li Yuan."
"You’re overestimating the Supres... Ultimately, they’re just the peak Quasi-Saints," Little Tomb sighed, "Indeed, in the vast cosmos, a Supre is mighty. No natural cosmic danger can threaten them."
"But in the Eternal Relics, especially the Long River Ruins ranked most dangerous, what do they amount to?"
"Brother Beihe has ventured through many ancient ruins, suspecting many could be Holy Weapons, though their Origin Aura is concealed... The Long River Ruins hold many secrets to eternity," Little Tomb transmitted.
Li Yuan felt a slight stir.
Compared to the Long River Ruins, Immortal Heaven and Earth indeed seed like a paradise... None of its dangerous places carried the overwhelming presence of this scene.
Soon.
Li Yuan and his group reached one of the passages, all of which were over a hundred thousand kiloters wide, quite broad indeed.
But!
"Master, I can no longer advance; I’ve encountered an invisible restraint. If I proceed, I fear my consciousness will be obliterated," the Emperor Puppet suddenly relayed with a flash of fear in its eyes.
"Obliteration? Restraint?" The Star Sky God Emperor and Li Yuan, along with the Jue Xing Divine Emperor, felt a hint of surprise.
None of them had sensed anything unusual.
"It seems this ancient ruin prohibits the use of puppets," the Star Sky God Emperor frowned slightly, gestured to recall the Emperor Puppet, and then completely withdrew its aura, rendering it undetectable outside.
"Alliance Hierarch, let try first."
The Star Sky God Emperor spoke, then transford into a streak of light, flying into the passage bathed in endless golden light.
Li Yuan and the Jue Xing Divine Emperor watched from a distance.
During transit, the Star Sky God Emperor faced no obstruction.
But!
Once he traversed several million kiloters into the passage, suddenly! Boom! The passage entrance suddenly surged with light, followed by a rapid contraction of the passage.
"Not good."
"Quick," Li Yuan and the Jue Xing Divine Emperor’s expressions changed as they rushed forward, trying to prevent the passage’s closure.
"Huh?" Startled and angered, the Star Sky God Emperor also attempted to withdraw from the passage.
But they were a mont too late.
"Boom~" In an instant, the passage closed completely, outwardly appearing no different from other areas.
Without hesitation.
"Destroy!" Li Yuan wielded the Divine Spear, unleashing his most powerful move. The terrifying might instantly rained upon the thick sphere’s surface.
"Sizzley~" The tallic-seeming sphere surface faintly trembled, then stabilized, while an unseen force violently repelled Li Yuan, flinging him millions of kiloters before coming to a halt.
"Disciple, don’t be rash," the Jue Xing Divine Emperor exclaid in alarm.
The Star Sky God Emperor was already entrapped within the ancient ruins, so the Jue Xing Divine Emperor didn’t wish for Li Yuan to also encounter trouble.
"Understood." Li Yuan refrained from further attacks; the brief clash had made clear that his strength wasn’t sufficient to forcibly penetrate.
Suddenly.
"Alliance Hierarch, Jue Xing!"
"Don’t worry, I’m still alive... just temporarily trapped and I have to fulfill requirents to continue," the voice of the Star Sky God Emperor resonated in their minds through Causality Transmission.
Li Yuan and the Jue Xing Divine Emperor were noticeably relieved.
Their greatest concern was the Star Sky God Emperor eting an untily end... Venturing into ancient ruins, as long as they’re alive, there remains a chance.
"If I’m right, each passage allows only one formidable entity to enter," the Star Sky God Emperor transmitted.
"Alliance Hierarch, this ancient ruin has peculiar requirents; it’s not about life-and-death combat... you might send a True Body to explore it first."
"As for Jue Xing, this might also be your opportunity."
