"According to our analysis later, the Divine Palace below the Divine Palace should be a secret residence of the devils, where they conducted all kinds of brutal and sordid experiments."
Seeing that Wu Suiyun was caught in her memories, Meng Chixin continued. "At that time, the two of us were ignorant and confident in our Cultivation in the Divinity Transformation Stage. We were not scared even if deities and devils did show up. So, we barged into the Divine Palace together.
"The scale of the Divine Palace was hundreds of times larger than the deities' warship that we are on right now. The interior of the palace was full of secret chambers, pathways, and warehouses!
"A corner of the uppermost level of the Divine Palace had been broken through by the deities' warship. A lot of deities' warriors swarmed in and fought the devils fiercely. It was also a gory, chaotic battlefield.
"The fierce battle must've taken place more than two hundred thousand years ago. Ten percent of the areas in the Divine Palace were completely destroyed by the deities' warriors. Then, they collapsed and perished during the vicissitudes of time and melded with the rocks, turning into worthless ruins!
"But the few floors at the bottom seemed to have not been breached by the deities' warriors.
"Wu Suiyun and I discovered a lot of things that were far beyond our imagination and beyond our description.
"There are hundreds of huge glass vats in which corpses of all shapes and sizes are soaked. Some of them look like humans, and some of them look like the amalgamation of humans and spirit beasts. Some of them even have three heads and six arms, and some of them are grotesquely shaped. Even their internal organs are exposed to the air.
"Some of them looked like human beings, but their limbs had turned into sharp blades and swords. Some of them only had a human head, but it had been connected to the blades and magical equipment!
"Think about it. At the center of a broad-backed flying sword that is glittering coldly, there is a crystal vesicle that looks like a luminous pearl. Inside the vesicle is a human brain that is connected to two big eyeballs that have long dried. The eyeballs are staring at you blankly!"
"Such a creepy scene made even the two of us in the Divinity Transformation Stage feel cold in our hearts and weak in our feet!"
Meng Chixin's voice was hoarse, deep, and full of penetration and persuasiveness. As he spoke, the ten Yuanying all saw vivid, gloomy, and terrifying scenes in their heads.
The moment they thought of the weird secret arts that combined the brain and the magical equipment, all the super Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators felt that their hearts had been pinched by an icy claw!
Li Yao, on the other hand, knew exactly what was going on.
The 'underground palace' that the Nuwa warship crashed into must be a secret laboratory of the Pangu clan.
Li Yao had seen the biochemical technology that melded flesh and magical equipment before in the Mausoleum of Chaos and Kunlun. It was indeed a Pangu technique.
It was obvious enough that the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were not lying. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined such a scene with the imagination of the locals of the Ancient Sages Sector.
"The place was even more dreadful than the legendary deepest level of hell," Wu Suiyun said gloomily.
Wu Suiyun said gloomily, "Meng Chixin and I both had the intention to retreat. However, everything around us seemed to have been sealed and destroyed hundreds of thousands of years ago. Other than the appalling scene, it did not seem to be too dangerous. I was not in a good relationship with him, either. Neither of us was willing to be the first to propose retreat, fearing that we would be mocked by the other party. Eventually, we agreed that we would quit the devil's palace after exploring the last floor.
"In the last floor of the palace, we discovered an enormous graveyard!
"Although it was a graveyard, the place looked extremely weird. There were indeed a circle of translucent crystal coffins at the periphery. Some of them were large, and some were large. There were about a hundred of them, and the bodies of devils in bizarre shapes were stored inside them.
"For some reason, the coffins were extremely lackluster. The bodies inside were either completely dry and withered or high enough to have turned into piles of dust."
Li Yao thought of something and realized that it must be the hibernation cabins of the Pangu clan.
The Pangu clan hoped to live hundreds of thousands of years in the hibernation cabins at the bottom level of the secret laboratory deep below the ground.
However, according to Wu Suiyun's description, something had happened in the secret laboratory that caused the hibernation cabins to malfunction and all the Pangu clan members to be killed.
Maybe it was the tectonic changes that caused the energy supply of the hibernation cabins to run out. Maybe the Nuwa Clan destroyed the core of the secret laboratory when they attacked. Maybe it was the savagery of a certain mysterious virus. Anything could have happened, and the odds of success were slim in the first place.
"The crystal coffins were only placed at the periphery of the graveyard. They were inserted into the dense holes on the wall like hanging coffins," Wu Suiyun continued. "Some thick crystal tubes were connected to them, like the tubes that provided spiritual energy for the Cloud Qin Gold Statues.
"But in the spacious space at the center of the graveyard, there is a black soil that is almost like a swamp. Black ceramic jars are everywhere. They look like insect eggs that are emitting metallic colors, but they also look like wine jars that have been buried underground for decades. The surface of the jars is also covered in circles of extremely dense runes. Even the air is rippling with a fishy and sweet smell."
"I will never forget the smell for the rest of my life.
"Almost a hundred dense holes had been opened on the top of the black wine jars like a beehive. Thick, bright green air was spurting out of the holes and condensing into a mist that would never disperse on the dome.
"It's as if there's a monstrous monster lurking in every one of those wine jars!"
Graveyard! Eggs! Wine jars! Mist! Monsters!
With only a few words, Wu Suiyun brought the ten Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators into a mysterious, suffocating world.
Ba Xiaoyu was quite anxious. Scratching his ears and cheeks, he asked in a hurry, "What is this place exactly? Is it really a place where the primeval deities and devils were buried? What is inside the wine jars? Are there really monsters inside? "
"We don't know."
Wu Suiyun was in a trance. She said bitterly, "Because when we were about to break one of the wine jars and see what was inside, we were all attacked!
"It was a monster the size of a basin that looked both like a spider and a crab, but it was dragging a long bone tail!
"Meng Chixin and I have traveled in the Ancient Sages Sector for so many years. We have left our footprints in almost every perilous place in the world. We have seen too many brutal demon beasts, spiritual beasts, and monsters, but we have never seen anything so weird and disgusting before.
"The beast is extremely fast. It can also spray out vague mist to cover its body through the protruding holes on its back to hide its traces and aura. Even the senses of the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators like us can barely lock onto its location."
"Also, there were too many of them. Almost twenty of them jumped out of the graveyard and lunged at us. Caught unprepared, Meng Chixin and I were stabbed multiple times on our limbs and torsos by their bone tails!
"We both sensed that they shot something into our bodies through their bone tails!"
"Was it venom?"
Ba Xiaoyu bulged his eyes and exclaimed, "Was it fatal poison that killed both of you?"
Wu Suiyun sighed softly and shook her head. "If it was truly an incurable poison, I wouldn't still be brooding over it after a hundred years."
"At that time, Meng Chixin and I both thought that we had been poisoned and that our lives were at stake.
"At the critical moment, both of us were triggered. We consumed our spiritual energy without caring about anything and went through a lot of trouble. Finally, we annihilated all the long-tailed monsters that were a mix of spiders and crabs and reduced them to ash!
"However, the wine jars that were densely distributed in the black swamp seemed to have sensed the intense spiritual waves and exploded one after another.
"New monsters were hatched from them!
"Seeing that the situation was not good, Meng Chixin and I retreated while we fought. Then, at the cost of the damage to our magical equipment, we blew up the pathway leading to the upper floor of the graveyard. The few floors above were all collapsed by us and buried the graveyard!
"During the sabotage, both of us felt that our heads were dizzy, and our souls were shaking. We could barely control our limbs. We knew that it was a sign that the venom was taking effect.
"The venom was extremely weird and had never been seen before. No matter how many antidotes we swallowed and how much spiritual energy we suppressed it with, we could not suppress the indescribable weird feeling.
"Meng Chixin and I did not dare to linger in the Devil's Palace any longer. We fled and returned to the deities' warship through the same route. Then, we sealed the barriers leading to the Devil's Palace again and even added almost twenty new barriers with our own methods. Finally, we were able to take a breath in relief.
"At that moment, both of us felt that the world was swirling, and our souls were shaking. A force that had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years seemed to be breaking out of our bodies!
"Expansion, expansion, expansion. We both felt that our internal organs, limbs, veins, and everything else was expanding nonstop!
"It was not an illusion caused by the poisoning but real because we both saw each other's faces. Our bodies were crazily expanding like bags that had been filled with air!
"Our skin was torn apart, and our flesh and blood were expanding rapidly. New bones and veins were even growing out!
"In the blink of an eye, we grew from normal people who were only seven to eight feet tall to giants who were over a hundred feet tall at a speed visible to the naked eye!"
"Not only were our bodies growing larger and larger, we were also growing brand-new organs that we had never seen before!
"I felt that my head was splitting. Weird cracking sounds were echoing in my skull, as if it had been pierced through by a flying sword. A moment later, a brand-new eye crawled out of my forehead!
"I studied the colors and pictures that the eye saw for a hundred years, but I still cannot describe them to you!
"It was the same for Meng Chixin. Two thick, curved horns grew out of his head. His eyeballs were ten times larger than before. More than ten dark golden halos were embedded around his pupils, which were constricting and expanding nonstop. The brilliance that they emitted seemed to be enough to burn holes in the solid rocks!"
