"The Primordial Lord of Heaven! This is … "
The astounding scene in front of their eyes dumbfounded the six knowledgeable Orb Patrollers. Their hearts were caught in a storm and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
After passing through a cluster of mountains, a broad black plain finally appeared in front of them. But countless black lines were standing on the plain, which were perpendicular to the ground and extended into the sky beyond the atmosphere.
The six of them flew closer and closer, only to discover that the 'black lines' were actually giant pillars more than a hundred meters in diameter!
They were cylindrical in shape with a diameter of a hundred meters and a length of at least dozens of kilometers. There was no telling what materials the black pillars were made of, but they were not crushed by their own weight at all. After thousands of years of wind, frost, snow, rain, and crustal movements, they were not corroded or tilted at all. They simply stood on the rugged surface of Ultimacy without making any noise.
In such an indifferent way, they were demonstrating the formidability of the person who had made them!
Faced with such an unbelievable miracle, the six of them all held their breath and flew around the black pillars again and again. More and more questions popped up in their heads.
Li Yao drew out his vibration dagger and tried to scrape off some powder from the surface of the pillars for analysis.
He didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to find the slightest trace after all his efforts. The materials and techniques that were used to make the pillars were indeed immeasurable.
Li Yao clicked his tongue. The materials used to make the black pillars were much harder than many of the super metals recorded in the classics of the Hundred Smelting Clan. If they were used to craft flying swords, armor, and starships, there would be nothing that they couldn't break!
If he could analyze the components of the materials and master the refining methods, the war potential of the Xing Yao Federation would be improved by multiple levels.
Ultimacy was indeed a place full of treasures!
Right then … Yan Yangtian's exclamation came over in the communication channel, "Ahhh!"
Li Yao's heart suddenly tightened. He hurried to approach Yan Yangtian, only to find that she was not in danger at all. She was simply floating in front of a black pillar in a daze, as if she had lost her mind.
Li Yao raised his eyebrow. When he looked at the black pillar, his eyes widened, and his pupils dilated several times.
Three giant claw marks that were several meters deep were left on the indestructible black pillar. It was as if a claw more than ten meters in diameter had slashed down and torn the black pillar apart with ease!
"What kind of powerful existence could leave behind such a mark?!"
Li Yao exclaimed in amazement. He continued to fly deeper into the black pillar.
He found that the black pillars were arranged in a very orderly manner, as if forming a large array. The closer he flew to the center, the more claw marks appeared on the pillars.
After the surface was scratched into pieces, no matter how hard the black pillar was, it could not withstand the erosion of time. Tiny particles appeared on the damaged areas, and Li Yao finally collected some fragments.
According to the preliminary analysis, these items were neither metal nor stone. They also contained extremely strong spiritual waves. It was an excellent Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.
As for the specific composition, it would have to be carefully analyzed when they returned to the Tian Yuan Realm.
Li Yao even found a broken claw deep in the claw marks of a black pillar.
It was a claw. It should be a small tip, but it was as long as an adult. It was bright gold, slightly curved, and extremely sharp.
It took everyone a full hour to pull the claw out of the black pillar.
Li Yao tried to wave it lightly. The claw was like a scimitar of the highest quality, producing a whistling sound in the air. It raised a large area of spiritual waves and triggered a saber aura almost fifteen meters long.
"Good job. This is definitely a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure of the highest quality that hasn't been refined yet. It has already enhanced my spiritual energy by 200%. If it is refined carefully, it will definitely be an unparalleled saber! "
Li Yao's eyes were shining. He was almost drooling.
His Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber was made of 'marrow blood', a rare material in the Blood Demon Sector, dozens of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and marrow crystals, and refined with the ancient refining arts of the Hundred Smelting Clan. Yet, it could only trigger a bloody aura around ten meters long.
The claw had not been refined at all, and yet it could trigger a saber aura fifteen meters long?
Besides, its shape and weight were exactly like a heavy saber. It was very handy.
If it could be refined together with the Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber, wouldn't the power of the saber be doubled?
Li Yao put the claw into his Cosmos Ring without hesitation.
He was a refiner and the best saber expert in his team. Naturally, such a saber-shaped Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure should be kept by him. In case of danger, it would be most effective in his hands.
Li Yao made up his mind that he would redeem the claw no matter how many contribution points he had to pay after he returned to the Tian Yuan Realm.
As an explorer, he had the priority to redeem the claw. Even the Yuanying experts couldn't compete with him for it.
Just as he was mulling over dozens of refining plans in his mind, the others made an even more shocking discovery.
On the dozens of black pillars near the center of the array, they found countless thick chains, each of which was more than one meter in diameter. Runes smaller than grains of rice were densely packed on the chains, which were emitting weird, dark purple light.
Li Yao scanned all the runes and murmured to himself after recalling the experience of the Hundred Smelting Clan in refining several powerful arrays.
"Although I can't understand the specific mechanism of the runes, it should be some kind of ancient barrier!
"If my guess is correct, the black pillars are not only protruding from the sky, but also extending to the ground!
"The top part of the pillar pierces through the atmosphere and absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon from the sky. The middle part of the pillar absorbs the power of thunder inside the atmosphere. The underground part absorbs the powerful energy generated by the movement of the earth's fire and the earth's crust!
"All the energy has been transmitted to the black pillars at the center through a mysterious and marvelous method, activating the barriers on the chains!"
"What's the purpose of this restriction formation? What is it trying to trap?"
They found the answer very soon.
At the center of the black barrier, they found dozens of bones.
Some of the bones looked like ribs, but they were more than three hundred meters long and looked like the pillars of a magnificent palace.
There were also some bones that barely formed the shape of a thick and short arm. Although it was' thick and short ', it was still more than two hundred meters long.
The bright gold bones were almost identical to the claws that Li Yao had collected, except that they had been ravaged by the barriers for thousands of years and were riddled with holes.
"What kind of creature is this? Its ribs alone are more than three hundred meters long, and it needs such an enormous barrier to suppress it?
"Why are there so few bones? Where are the rest of the bones? Were they taken away by the spiritual beasts on Ultimacy? Or were they excavated by the adventurers of the Star Ocean Imperium?
"It's also possible that … the monster tore off its arm and ran away!"
Everybody looked at each other in bewilderment. The same picture popped up in their heads at the same time.
Locked by countless black pillars and chains, suppressed by thunder, fire, and stellar storms, a bright gold behemoth that was thousands of meters long roared and struggled nonstop. Its claws easily left countless claw marks on the black pillars.
In the end, it tore off the chains at the cost of one of its limbs. It roared and soared into the sky, disappearing into the boundless universe!
The picture made all six of them sweat and tremble in fear.
Li Yao flew around the broken bones, trying to collect all the bright gold bones into his Cosmos Ring.
However, the storage technology of the Heaven's Origin Sector was still underdeveloped. They were unable to refine Cosmos Rings and storage bags on their own.
All the Cosmos Rings and storage bags that they were using had been picked up from the Occult Orbs.
The Cosmos Rings and storage bags were of a very low level. Their internal space was not very large. The largest one was no larger than a carriage of a train.
For the trip to Ultimacy, Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector had spared no expense. Every Orb Patroller had brought more than ten Cosmos Rings and storage bags with them.
However, there was nothing they could do when faced with such super large Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that were almost a hundred meters long. Unless they were cut into pieces, the Cosmos Rings would not be able to contain them.
Li Yao could only look at the 'bones' and sigh.
Thankfully, he found some broken rune chains next to the bright gold bones. The dark purple chains looked like hibernating boas. Immense spiritual energy was vaguely stored in them. They were rarely-seen secret treasures, too.
Li Yao looted the treasures and did not stop until he had filled up a Cosmos Ring.
Because 'Dummy' Ba Weiqi had finally reached out to other Star Teams.
He did not receive the communication directly. Instead, he detected the telepathic thoughts sent out by other Star Teams.
The telepathic thoughts were sent from 1,500 kilometers to the northwest.
Fearing that the demons might intercept or discover them, the telepathic thoughts were very secretive and brief.
It was a directional telepathic thought, indicating that other Star Teams had made important discoveries and were hoping that the team that received the telepathic thoughts would join them immediately.
Everybody was refreshed. They scanned the environment and confirmed the coordinates. Then, they rushed to the northwest.
In the northwest, however, was a mountainous area where enormous folds had appeared. Sometimes, mountains that reached the clouds blocked their way, and sometimes, weird gales would surge out of the rifts that were a thousand meters deep, generating a powerful attraction force that grabbed their ankles like invisible hands and pulled them down desperately.
In such a harsh terrain, even Cultivators had to tread carefully. It took them almost twenty hours to arrive at the location where the telepathic thoughts were sent out.
What appeared before the six of them was a huge rift valley that was more than 5,700 meters deep.
The dark canyon was bottomless. Gusts of wind were rushing through the canyon, as if a flood was raging in a river.
Countless broken stones were blown away by the gusts of wind and air currents. They were floating in the canyon, forming a very special stone belt.
The signal was sent from the bottom of the canyon.
If there were any anomalies, there was no reason for the demons to set up traps in such a weird environment. After discussing for a while, everybody decided to take the risk.
Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!
