"Huuu!"
BOOM! CRACK!
The furious wind blowing through the entire canyon was carrying countless impurities and invisible spiritual energy turbulences . It used to be known as 'destructive wind' to the ancient Cultivators .
Savaged by the destructive winds for hundreds of years, many rocks on the walls of the canyon had fallen down and floated in midair, before crashing into one another and forming a scattering stone belt that was as thick as several kilometers .
The six crystal suits passed through the scattering stone belt carefully, taking care of both the rampant wind and the flying stones .
Some stones, boosted by the spiritual energy turbulences, were almost at the speed of sound . With the exotic crystals inside the rocks, they could break through the spiritual shields easily . It wouldn't be fun if anyone was smashed by them .
Thankfully, Captain Hong Tong was an expert in gravity manipulation . Controlled by his surging spiritual energy, an invisible defense shell seemed to have formed around the six of them . The stones rushing close to them all took a turn and brushed past them regardless of how short the distance was .
Looking from the ground, the six crystal suits of Team Blue Bronze were glimmering like six light spots, gradually disappearing in the depths of the scattering stone belt .
Ten minutes later, they were finally out of the stone belt .
Other than 'Dummy' Ba Weiqi who was burdened by the clumsy crystal suit and had a few scratches on it, everyone was totally safe .
The wind was still blowing hard . They glided downwards on a slant toward the endless, bottomless abyss .
When they looked up, they noticed that the long and narrow sky was entirely blocked by the scattering stones . The last ray of light had already disappeared . They seemed to be in the stomach of a behemoth .
As Building Foundation Stage Cultivators, they were all able to scan the environment with their spiritual threads . Loss of light did not influence them very much . But they did feel a little nervous about what was to come .
The rocks in some places were as smooth as a mirror, whereas some other places were full of crevices . The crags were covered with bumps and hollows that had clearly been made on purpose .
It was almost like some splendid buildings or even towns that once prospered on Ultimacy had been buried thousands of meters underground before being torn apart by crustal movements . That was why the faults was multi-layered .
Li Yao even discovered the faults that contained several giant bone fossils
However, since the wind was too ferocious in this place, they didn't have the opportunity to stop and survey it thoroughly . They could only take photos of the weird faults with special feedback crystal cameras for future research .
After gliding downward for almost twenty minutes, they still failed to see the bottom of the crevasse . They were now in the middle of a queer black smoke which swallowed the telepathic thoughts silently .
The telepathic thought that the other Star Team sent out was from one side of the wall .
After flying close and checking it out carefully, they discovered that the wall was full of crevices long and short leading deep underground .
Beside the longest crevice, there was a man-made platform several thousand meters both in length and width, emitting a vague metallic aura . The platform was apparently supported by extremely solid metal structures . Judging from the scale, it could allow several small-scale crystal warships or dozens of crystal tanks to land at the same time .
They had descended to more than 6,600 meters underground . To build a platform as enormous as a flying crystal arena was obviously too large a task for any of the other Star Teams to accomplish .
Even the exploration squads from the Blood Demon Sector wouldn't be able to make such a miracle .
The only possible explanation was that it was the masterpiece of the previous adventurers .
They landed on the platform . Li Yao took off the plate armor on his hand and touched the ground with his fingers . It was smooth like silk with barely any friction . The technology employed in the platform was far more advanced than he had imagined .
The crevice in front of them was more than ten meters wide at the narrowest part, with traces of human modification . It had been reconstructed into an irregular cylinder with certain arcs, making it look like a tunnel leading to the center of the planet .
Very soon, Li Yao found a telepathic thought ball that had been disguised as a stone and left on the edge of the platform by another Star Team .
A telepathic thought ball was a piece of round magical equipment the size of an apple . Similar to jade chips, it could read and output a huge amount of telepathic thoughts and information very quickly, ten times faster than the jade chips did . It could be deemed as an upgraded version of jade chips .
Li Yao activated the ball with his spiritual energy . Hundreds of intersecting lines appeared on the surface of the telepathic thought ball and constituted a complicated pattern .
It was a barrier which would destroy the information that it stored and send a warning to its master who set it up if it was not decrypted within five seconds .
Li Yao's hands moved up and down . Like a tangram, the pattern on the telepathic thought ball was adjusted to a different one that all the Star Teams had agreed on before .
After a 'Bo' sound, the telepathic thought split into two halves from the middle . A sector of greenness scanned over the platform and connected to the crystal processors of the six of them .
In a moment, a lot of information flooded into their crystal processors .
The telepathic thought ball had been left by Team Tiger Deity, who was very fortunate to be teleported into the atmosphere of Ultimacy with abundant spiritual energy left . Therefore, they were able to condense a thick spiritual shield to protect their star shuttle, allowing them to land in the rugged land of mountains and valleys .
