"The world is burning …
And we, shall bring forth the ocean … "
Youssef slowly passed through the metal walls like a ghost.
The closer he got to the core of Moondu, the more inhuman he became.
Transparent veins began to appear under his skin, as if countless transparent tape had been cut into his flesh.
Through these veins, he could see the blood-red muscles, blood, and bones inside.
"Is this the power of the Heart Core? This … this is awesome! Hahahaha! When I get the Heart Core, my power will definitely increase by a hundred or even a thousand times! When that time comes … Hahahaha! "Youssef laughed maniacally.
From time to time, he activated the traps in the tunnel, but they were easily destroyed with a wave of his hand.
As the tunnel became darker and darker, the light in front of him also became dimmer and dimmer.
His entire body began to change with the light, becoming more and more transparent, less and less visible.
…
…
A grayish-white pillar of air crashed into a silver-white metal wall that was a few meters tall and more than a meter thick. With a loud bang, the metal wall caved in, but it did not completely go through.
Lu Sheng exhaled, raised his hand again, and aimed at the metal wall.
"Bam!"
A second pillar of air shot out violently, crashed into the wall, and instantly broke through.
"Troublesome metal …"
This metal's hardness far exceeded that of steel, and its toughness far exceeded that of any material that Lu Sheng knew. As a result, it took him two attacks to penetrate a meter-thick metal wall.
Although part of the reason was that he was heavily injured, this also meant that the metal wall's strength was beyond imagination.
Walking out of the hole, Lu Sheng looked around. This was a room shaped like a fish, and there were many strange-shaped bone ornaments in it. These ornaments varied in size, and many were assembled into short puppets.
As soon as Lu Sheng stepped into the room, all the bone puppets slowly moved.
"Hiss!"
The first puppet's eye sockets lit up with purple flames, followed by the second, the third …
Until all the puppets in the room lit up with purple light, they all moved, and slowly walked toward him.
"Again!" Lu Sheng coughed twice, and opened his mouth to spit.
Whoosh!
A gust of pure white air gushed out from his mouth and turned into a tornado, producing a strong traction force that swept up all the puppets in the room. Clanging sounds could be heard as the puppets were tangled together and twisted into a lump.
His figure flashed, and he easily passed by the side, arriving in front of the other wall of the room.
He reached out and pressed it.
Bang!
The wall exploded, creating a hole as tall as a person.
Cough, cough!
Lu Sheng couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. This time, there were even more worms in his blood.
"This is troublesome … I didn't expect this thing to be so vicious!" He frowned.
He could feel the purple palm in his stomach absorbing large amounts of Gula Power and Void Creatures' power.
Furthermore, the suppression of his power on him was becoming weaker and weaker.
Lu Sheng took a few more steps forward. Suddenly, his vision went black, and he almost fell to the ground.
"F * ck!" How long had it been since he encountered such a situation?
He couldn't remember. Ever since he became a Divine Lord, he rarely encountered such an embarrassing situation. Now, this long-awaited feeling of being heavily injured made Lu Sheng feel more real than ever.
From this pain, he truly felt that he was still alive.
'I need to speed up. This body can't hold on much longer. I need to reach the heart core as soon as possible and absorb Mental Energy.'
This time, he had made many preparations to obtain the heart core. Among the information he found in the library at night, there were seven to eight contingency plans for the current situation. These plans would allow him to avoid entering the Chaos Heart Core's space.
He didn't have to worry about being sucked into the heart core's space by the Chaos Codex like last time, only to be blasted out by the hidden new god inside.
Once again, he passed through the hole in the wall. Lu Sheng sped up. He leaped up and flew into another huge circular cavity.
There were streaks of crimson flowing light in the cavity. Upon closer inspection, these flowing lights were in the shape of thin fish. At the center of each flowing light, there was a bizarre eye shape that resembled a neuron.
'This is …' Lu Sheng focused his gaze. He slowly and carefully flew among the flowing lights.
"Bam!"
Suddenly, a flowing light on his right exploded. Countless thin red threads shot out.
These threads were like long whips that lashed at Lu Sheng.
There was a loud sound. He didn't have time to think. He quickly controlled the air flow to protect himself.
His entire body was hit by a huge force. He spat out a mouthful of blood in midair. The purple palm in his body began to move about wildly again.
'Damn it!' Lu Sheng punched his stomach. He forcefully pushed back the purple palm that was about to rip his stomach open.
He landed on the ground. He panted heavily and straightened his body. He passed through the place where the flowing lights couldn't reach. If this was before, he wouldn't care about such a small impact. But now …
'I'm almost there. The defenses here aren't as strong as before. I reckon that we'll be able to find that thing not too far away. "
He quickly passed through the red flowing light cavity. Lu Sheng's body was heavily injured. Even his stamina was starting to run out.
However, he forced himself to continue moving forward. There were no more obstacles in his way.
Beyond the cavity was a thick metal barrier wall. After passing through it, Lu Sheng soon arrived at a huge, empty residential area.
He occasionally encountered patrolling personnel from the base in the residential area. However, he managed to fool them with his psychological guidance art.
As he went deeper in, the force in his body grew stronger. Its corrosive properties grew stronger.
There were a few times when Lu Sheng wanted to activate the Descent Formation. However, when he thought of the trouble he would face after his arrival, he resisted the urge.
Firstly, once he arrived, he would have to face the many evil gods in this world alone.
Secondly, the Descent Formation relied on the special ability of the Material Manifestation stage to completely connect his Heart World to this world. From there, he could create an isolated space within a short period of time.
Within this isolated space, the rules would be compatible with Lu Sheng's main body to the greatest extent.
This way, he would be able to arrive in this world with more than 90% of his main body's strength. However, the troublesome part was that once his Heart World was activated, his biggest logistics base would be exposed. If he was targeted, his immortal body would be easily broken.
If he had a choice, Lu Sheng would not want to make this choice.
"Pfft."
Another mouthful of blood gushed out. He forced himself to swallow it back.
He stumbled along the way. Finally, he approached an exquisite, hemispherical silver-white building.
Many floating metal cubes floated around the building. It seemed to be a defense system unique to this place.
He could also sense a dense pack of ferocious auras patrolling the area.
Under normal circumstances, these ferocious auras would only take a few minutes to deal with in Lu Sheng's eyes. However, he was currently depleting his stamina. He was even starting to feel dizzy.
His limbs were growing weaker and weaker. His chest and stomach ached from time to time.
He lowered his head and looked at his chest. The evil god's countdown number was wriggling slowly. It was clear that this fellow was planning to take advantage of his misfortune and act up. It was no wonder his body was deteriorating. Even the Earth Qi could not suppress it.
'Soon … Soon … Bear with it. I'll get the Chaos Core soon. Once I get the core, I'll have as much Mental Energy as I want … It'll be a piece of cake to deal with these problems then.'
Lu Sheng forced a smile. He took out a small black triangle and tossed it forward.
The black triangle spun rapidly in the air. Soon, its surface crackled with black electric arcs.
Lu Sheng grinned and took a step forward.
He leaped lightly and arrived before the hemispherical building's door. The two white-armored men guarding the door did not seem to notice him at all.
'As expected, it's useful. I've prepared these gadgets in advance. '
Along the way, Lu Sheng occasionally tossed out some gadgets he created using the research center's resources.
These gadgets could form an invisible tunnel in a short period of time. They could turn his aura, light, physical collision volume, and so on into nothingness. It was as if they were pulling him into another space for a short period of time.
This was a special Void Devil's ability. It was a tool Lu Sheng had researched from a strange devil given to him by Erni. The small triangles were actually the gadgets made from the dried brain of the devil.
Without them, there was no way to activate this special nothingness ability.
Lu Sheng used this method to move forward smoothly. Soon, he entered the innermost hemispherical space.
The interior of the building was very quiet. He could feel the faint aura of Gula Power lingering in the air.
'This should be the most central location. The source of the energy network is here. If the Moonset Base really has a Chaos Core, then it must be here.' Lu Sheng kept tossing out the black triangles. These triangles could only last for a minute. After that, they would silently shatter and disappear.
If he was even a little slower, he would not be able to pass through safely.
He quietly passed through more than ten protective barriers. Although they were all simple ones, Lu Sheng's condition was getting worse. He did not want to cause any trouble or commotion.
"Bear with it a little longer … soon … soon …" Another wave of cramping pain came from his stomach. Lu Sheng's face grew paler and paler. He gritted his teeth with all his might. At least half of his skin was already covered by strange purple patterns.
He continued to move forward.
Finally, after passing through another black wall, he entered a spherical room that was only about ten meters in diameter.
In the middle of the room, there was a huge gray meatball floating in the air. It was surrounded by countless translucent roots.
There were thick metal pipes on the edge of the meatball. They were connected to the bottom of the meatball.
Lu Sheng looked up. The familiar aura reminded him of the smell he smelled when he was pulled into the Core Space by the Chaos Codex.
'Finally …' He took a deep breath. His eyes were filled with ecstasy. He took a few steps forward and reached the huge meatball in the blink of an eye.
The thing was right in front of him. If he did not rush to get it first, he would be asking for it if anything happened.
