Boom!

Wang Chong decided without hesitation to push the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art to its limits so that the golden seed could absorb the energy as quickly as possible .

As time passed, the energy continued to surge into the golden seed at an astonishing rate, the energy sea underground rapidly dwindling . It took only a few moments for one-fifth of the energy sea to be absorbed by the golden seed .

Despite absorbing this sea of energy, the golden seed showed no obvious change . It was like its capacity was limitless .

Two-fifths!

Three-fifths!

The underground energy was disappearing at an astonishing rate .

Buzz!

Finally, when four-fifths of the energy sea had been absorbed, the golden seed in Wang Chong’s body finally exhibited a subtle transformation .

Thump!

With a soft sound, the golden seed finally grew a tiny bit stronger .

While it was a meager change, this was the largest change Wang Chong had seen in the seed for some time .

Not only that, deep within Wang Chong’s mind, the Stone of Destiny trembled, and it began to speak in its familiar voice .

“Notice! An energy change in the golden seed has been observed . Energy absorbed at 13%, 14%, 16%…”

Wang Chong trembled in surprise .

Wang Chong had known for some time that the Stone of Destiny could detect changes in the golden seed, but he had not expected the energy hidden under the ruins to provoke this sort of change .

“Wonderful!”

For Wang Chong, even the smallest advancement in the golden seed’s growth was good news .

Ever since he had obtained the True World ability, Wang Chong had realized that this golden seed was probably more powerful than he had first imagined .

The only problem was that this seed was seemingly able to absorb limitless amounts of power . The energy sea had been vast, yet absorbing four-fifths of it had only been enough to add seventeen percent . In other words, completely draining the energy sea would still not be enough to unlock a new ability for the golden seed .

Buzz!

While Wang Chong was still pondering the golden seed’s transformation, a strange energy suddenly erupted from the golden seed and linked with Wang Chong’s body .

At this moment, Wang Chong suddenly discovered that there was something else far in the distance .

“What is this?”

Wang Chong was left shaken by this new discovery .

With the power of the golden seed, Wang Chong had discovered that there was another region farther below the ruins .

This region was shrouded in gray energy and was extremely well-hidden . He would have never discovered it without the golden seed’s power .

“How surprising! There’s yet another space down here . ”

Even the Nightmare Beast was shocked by this revelation .

They had both probed this region after getting to the bottom of the well, but they had not found anything except the ruins of the Kegang Empire .

But now, it appeared that there was another secret grotto hidden underneath the Kegang ruins .

“It’s a seal! One even older and more powerful than the Kegang Empire’s!” Wang Chong said, his expression stern .

This was a strange development that he had not expected in the slightest .

The energy sea beneath the ruins was getting smaller and smaller, and the area was already beginning to tremble . Once the golden seed absorbed all of the energy, the formation would be destroyed and this area would cave in .

Wang Chong would simply have to leave before the collapse .

But now, Wang Chong was forced to change his plan .

Wang Chong swiftly put a stop to the absorption, and after a few moments of thought, he took out the Xuanyuan Sword and gathered his energy into the sword to unleash a mighty strike .

“Life Execution!”

Wang Chong converted his Subtle realm Stellar Energy into the Sword Qi of Su Zhengchen’s supreme art and then thrust the sword into the ground .

The earth shuddered . Without the support of the formation’s energy, the ground had become extremely fragile, and a hole was instantly blasted through it .

The Sword Qi continued downward, piercing through the air toward that gloomy area he had sensed .

With his Subtle realm energy and the Xuanyuan Sword, Wang Chong was immensely powerful . Both the formation and the hard layer of rock crumbled away in front of his Sword Qi .

Rumble!

There was a fierce shuddering that knocked loose bits of stone and chunks of lava . However, it wasn’t long before Wang Chong had managed to create a straight pit with a diameter of around two meters .

Wang Chong carefully listened, and a moment later, he heard a soft crack from deep in the earth, as if something had shattered . A moment later, the world according to Wang Chong’s senses was completely transformed .

Originally, Wang Chong could sense nothing except the Kegang ruins, but now, it felt like a curtain had been raised .

As if by magic, another large area had been revealed to his senses .

This time, Wang Chong didn’t even need the golden seed’s power to sense its existence .

Not only that, now that the curtain had been raised, Wang Chong could sense a vast storm of boundless energy howling within the depths of the earth .

The energy sea of the Kegang ruins seemed tiny in comparison .

It was like comparing a firefly to the moon .

“Impossible!”

Man and Beast were both stunned .

They sensed that even this energy was still not the entire truth .

Wang Chong had merely poked a hole in its surface with his Sword Qi, allowing it to show a sliver of its true self .

Wang Chong took in a deep breath, and then while holding his breath, he jumped into the air and then made a sudden turn .

He then dove straight down into the pit .

Seven thousand meters!

Eight thousand meters!

Nine thousand meters!

Ten thousand meters!

Wang Chong once more experienced the sensation he had felt when plumbing the depths of the Origin Immortal Cave .

The air grew thinner and thinner, the stifling sensation stronger and stronger .

“Over there!” the Nightmare Beast called out . Not far down below was a massive, dark golden item buried in the earth . On the surface of this mysterious item was a hole with a diameter of around two meters .

This was none other than the hole Wang Chong had created with the Xuanyuan Sword .

Wang Chong immediately shot through that hole into that mysterious space located more than ten thousand meters beneath the surface .

Buzz!

Upon entering this area, he immediately grimaced .

This area was much larger than the Kegang ruins, and even though the air in the passage was thin, it was abundant here, completely different from the Origin Immortal Cave .

However, what surprised Wang Chong was not this, but the corpse he saw on the ground .

The blood and flesh of this corpse had decayed away long ago, leaving only the white skeleton . It looked very similar to a human skeleton, but there were also significant differences . It had many ribs, at least twenty pairs, and its shoulders, back, pelvis, thighs, and many other joints contained bones that were not seen in normal humans .

Most striking of all were the tiny, knife-like bones growing out from the spine, creating a most savage appearance!

There was only one creature in Wang Chong’s memory with this sort of spiked spine!

The otherworldly invaders!

Wang Chong’s pupils constricted, and he almost stopped breathing .

After one life and one death, Wang Chong had never imagined that he would see an otherworldly invader in a situation like this, far in the west and more than ten thousand meters beneath the earth .

“How could this be?!”

Wang Chong’s mind was rocked by great waves .

He had battled these otherworldly invaders for almost an entire lifetime, killing countless of their number, so he was extremely familiar with their physical structure .

These otherworldly invaders were extremely hard to kill, but after great effort, Wang Chong and his group had managed to find some ways to deal with them .

Through excruciating effort, the humans of the apocalypse had succeeded in capturing an otherworldly invader and dissecting it . Wang Chong had been one of the participants in this dissection .

The otherworldly invaders were similar to humans, but also completely different . Humans had 206 bones, but the otherworldly invaders had more than 300, and they operated on different biological laws .

They were human-like creatures, but they were not humans!

Wang Chong’s eyes went red and his energy turned restless .

“Damn it!”

Wang Chong fiercely kicked the otherworldly invader’s skeleton, crushing it to dust . The sounds of shattering bones echoed throughout the underground chamber .

Even after so long, Wang Chong was still unable to control his intense killing intent .

Anyone who had not been through the apocalyptic era, drenched in blood and bones, would never be able to understand this emotion .

Deep underground, the only sound was that of Wang Chong’s ragged breathing . Finally, Wang Chong calmed down .

Now that his rage had passed, he had many questions .

This place was far too strange and mysterious!

There was still some time until even the earliest signs of the calamity became apparent, so why was there the skeleton of an otherworldly invader in a place like this?

It just didn’t make sense!
