Chapter 2273: Geo Center Storm

The group strode down. It was not only Ye Futian’s group; many practitioners in the sky also came down. The cultivators of every faction wanted to see what was hidden inside the center of the Solar Realm.

The formation of every one of the Nine Supreme Imperial Realms seemed to contain a unique factor. The Shadow Realm had a Shadow Divine Item. So, what about the Solar Realm?

Beneath the destroyed Solar Divine Palace, a large gap had appeared. It was the spot where the mighty figure from the Sun God Mountain stood earlier. Scorching heat flowed out of the gap as if lava was spewing out from it.

“Did we already reach the surface layer?” The cultivators’ hearts fluctuated. The power contained within the center affected the entire Solar Realm. However, it should not have been as farfetched as the current moment. Otherwise, the Solar Realm would have long been turned into a world of fire. How could any lifeform survive?

“This should be caused by the Solar Divine Palace,’ mumbled someone. The others nodded slightly. They also had the same guess in their minds. Otherwise, it would not have become like this.

Rumble… Then, the surface was burned into nothingness. The ground was melted, and the location of the Solar Divine Palace was completely transformed into a world of fire. Figures stood in the air one after another. If they were to look down from above, they would be able to notice that a deep pit of flames had appeared within that vast area.

“There’s a matrix.” Divine light glowed from everyone’s eyes. They looked down at the flames and could only see a powerful matrix deep inside the pit. The matrix looked like it had transformed into an image of the sun. Surrounding it was a solar storm that whirled continuously. The storm swirled and twisted, causing the power underneath to be devoured into the image of the sun incessantly.

An extremely shocking aura burst from the image of the sun. At that moment, everyone finally understood why the divine palace was directly burned to the ground and why the practitioners within the divine palace were burned to death. Such a powerful matrix. If it were to explode completely, even the powerful figures—not to mention the cultivators of the Solar Divine Palace—would have to retreat for a bit, and they would not dare to touch it.

Before, the cultivator from Sun God Mountain borrowed this power to extract the forces from underground to make the power flow into his body and erupt amazing strength.

“Don’t get close. This matrix has been running for a long time. It has been devouring the divine powers surging from below. If you get too close, I’m afraid you might be burned to a crisp,” instructed Renhuang Chen in a low voice. He could clearly sense just the magnitude of the power within.

If anyone were to go underground carelessly and enter the area covered by the matrix, they would likely be burned to ash. The person would not even know what killed him.

Everyone stopped in their tracks. Odd expressions hung on their faces. What the current situation meant was that it was going to be difficult to enter from there.

“We need to destroy the matrix first. Let the Divine Power of the Sun disperse,” said a cultivator from one of the factions present. The others nodded. They had also realized this.

“Then, let’s work together and destroy it first,” suggested someone. Many people nodded in agreement. Ye Futian glanced below and said to Renhuang Chen, “It looks like I have to trouble elder, again.”

Back in the day, he was able to get his hands on the Power of Yin. Now, his plane level was no longer comparable to back then. If he were to descend, he was confident that he was the person most likely to obtain the Solar Realm divine item.

“Okay.” Renhuang Chen understood Ye Futian’s meaning. He nodded. Then, he concentrated his strength and prepared to destroy the matrix himself.

While the matrix was strong, without someone controlling it, the groups’ powerful attacks would naturally destroy it.

As Ye Futian and the others moved aside, they could see the other cultivators converging their Power of the Great Path, which later transformed into multiple frightening attacks that flew directly into the flame below. The attacks directly landed within the matrix. In an instant, the Solar Matrix was destroyed and disintegrated. A destructive force raged and spewed outwards. Flames spread around the area, and in an instant, everything within a radius of tens of thousands of miles had turned into scorched earth.

Only after the frightening power of flame dispersed from the direction of the Solar Divine Palace did the cultivators start walking downwards again. It seemed as if a passage towards the center had been opened there.

After the matrix was destroyed, the scorching air on the surface had dispersed. However, the deeper they went, the more intense the scorching aura became.

Most of those who had entered were the best of the best. They were heavyweight-class existences. Before long, they had gone deep underground. As they went deeper, they quickly noticed that rocks could no longer be found around them; it had become a world of flames. It seemed like nothing else could exist in this environment.

“Further.” They continued to venture deeper. Multiple rivers of flame seemed to flow all around this world of flame. The cultivators moved past and across them. Some of the younger Renhuangs had come along. For these Renhuangs, the further they went, the harder it became. The Power of the Great Path of Defense on their bodies was on the verge of collapsing as they could no longer withstand further assault from the path of fire.

“Agh…” Suddenly, an excruciating wail filled the air. Then, a gust of scorching air came into contact with a person, and the person directly burst into flames. His Power of the Great Path had been burnt out.

“What’s going on?” Everyone looked over to where the sound came from and saw a gust of scorching air that seemed different. The expressions on the faces of some of the more powerful cultivators changed after they sensed the power contained within.

“Stop going down,” said a powerful figure to the younger Renhuangs who had followed them there.

“That gust of scorching air seems different. We might be getting close to the central zone,” said Renhuang Chen to Ye Futian. Starry light surrounded his body as he tried to keep Ye Futian protected inside.

“No need. I can sense it,” said Ye Futian. Renhuang Chen glanced at him and nodded. Since Ye Futian said that, it most likely meant that he was confident.

The group continued to move downward. Ye Futian’s expression also became slightly solemn. It felt similar to the experience he had last time in the Shadow Realm.

As they ventured deeper, the number of gusts of scorching air similar to the earlier one had increased. Even the heavyweight-level existences had begun to act more cautiously.

Ye Futian only knew that he could hardly walk anymore. The strength of the flame in this area had reached a level that he could almost no longer withstand.

Then, at that moment, a whirling storm suddenly appeared in front of them. Inside the storm were countless gusts of those earlier scorching air. In an instant, the cultivators stopped moving and stared at the storm.

It looked like a sun was right in front of them, and the storm was like a storm generated by the sun.

The expressions on many of the top cultivators’ faces changed. How were they going to enter?

If they were to step into the storm, they were afraid that it would be too dangerous. Even heavyweight-level figures could not guarantee that they would be able to enter and get out alive.

Renhuang Chen also stared at the scene before him. It was no wonder the cultivators from Sun God Mountain failed to obtain the divine item from the center of the Solar Realm!
