Chapter 1666: Chapter 998: Chains
“Mr. Liang!”
Gu Feng hurriedly shouted, but Liang Yuan had already disappeared above the ground.
Shi Haizhu, standing nearby, asked, “What’s Mr. Liang up to?”
Gu Feng quickly turned his thoughts and immediately understood, saying, “Mr. Liang definitely wants to go underground and see if this is a Floating Island!”
“Ah, why didn’t he just ask us? I’ve already used Earth Escape to go down and check. It’s indeed a Floating Island, but there’s no Heart Core or Brain Core inside; it’s become a hollow Floating Island.” Shi Haizhu exclaimed.
Gu Feng said, “That’s different. Maybe Mr. Liang will find something else down there.”
“Well, that’s true. Let’s wait and be careful not to get ambushed by those creatures.”
“Don’t worry, they’ve already been scared off by Mr. Liang.”
Liang Yuan indeed wanted to inspect what kind of island this was.
Outside, the whole area was covered by a blood-red ocean, yet this island isn’t submerged—it can’t be an ordinary island.
It’s most likely something like a Floating Island.
And if it’s a Floating Island, then there are enough Superpower Stones to support the operation of these altar arrays, which would explain everything.
Therefore, Liang Yuan wanted to see what energy is powering these altars.
He sank all the way down, soon encountering obstacles.
It seemed he had already passed through the soil layer.
Below that should be the corpse of the Floating Island itself, so Earth Escape couldn’t work anymore.
Liang Yuan looked at the pillar-like pipe in front of him; this pipe was connected to the altar on the ground and inserted deep into the Floating Island.
Liang Yuan was too lazy to take another route, directly conjuring a mass of Protein Corrosive Liquid to quickly melt away the flesh on the ground along the pipe.
Before long, a scorched passage appeared on the fleshy ground.
Liang Yuan followed the passage into the internal world of the Floating Island.
Upon entering, Liang Yuan was immediately hit by a putrid odor.
He unconsciously held his breath and looked around.
He found that the flesh here was already showing signs of decay.
A plethora of unknown bacteria and other microorganisms were proliferating here, forming many bizarre crystals and fungus-like structures in the tunnel.
Liang Yuan even noticed some skeletal remains on the ground.
His mind couldn’t help but conjure some images.
Perhaps over countless years, many have mistakenly entered here only to perish in this subterranean realm.
Liang Yuan activated his Superpower to form a protective shield, enveloping himself and isolating from the microorganisms here.
He continued sinking along the altar’s pipe, searching for the pipe’s source.
Upon reaching a vast empty area, Liang Yuan finally stopped.
In front of him was a massive underground space, with the ground covered in large cyan chains.
The chains were engraved with numerous runes.
These chains plunged deeply into the surrounding flesh walls and ground, with no discernible direction or source.
Liang Yuan felt a headache watching this scene.
Because he discovered then that all other altar pipes were also leading here, ultimately linking with these chains.
Liang Yuan looked at the chains, suddenly recalling the sword within the Eight-headed Great Serpent’s body.
That sword also had a chain like this, almost identical in style.
“Could it be that the chain’s end is that sword?”
This thought suddenly floated in Liang Yuan’s mind.
He had a mind to continue exploring where these chains leads.
However, the chains criss-crossing made it impossible to discern where was head and where was tail.
Unless he pulled the entire chain from this giant corpse, identifying the chain’s direction would be difficult.
Liang Yuan frowned, then looked once more at the environment aside from the chains.
Discovering there was no energy supply here.
Nothing like Superpower Stones, even the flesh had hardened like rock.
“There’s no energy source—seems it’s the chains supplying energy to each altar.”
“To figure out the chain’s source, only by pulling out these chains.”
Liang Yuan’s gaze slightly flickered, yet he didn’t act immediately.
Until understanding the reason for this altar’s existence.
Liang Yuan wouldn’t arbitrarily destroy this altar.
What if this altar really contained the Blood River Old Ancestor’s legacy?
Though Liang Yuan thought this possibility low.
Blood River Old Ancestor left no legacy for descendants; why leave a legacy?
It’s not Cultivation but Superpower, awakening powers depends on the individual.
Everyone’s awakened Superpower can differ; why leave a legacy?
Anomalously, Superpower Users just need to focus on Evolution, nothing about legacy.
Oh, Superpower Stones and Rune Bones can be legacies, others Liang Yuan couldn’t think of transferable things.
He wandered the entire decaying interior of the Floating Island Giant Corpse once more.
The whole interior had indeed decomposed.
A unique ecosystem had formed inside, and Liang Yuan even felt this island might soon sink into the Blood River.
“I wonder what’s beneath this Blood River.”
Liang Yuan suddenly considered this, swiftly flying out from the Floating Island’s interior.
Once out, Gu Feng and Shi Haizhu promptly surrounded him.
“Mr. Liang, did you find anything?”
Liang Yuan said, “The bottoms of these altars are linked with a chain sail into an unknown direction.”
Gu Feng quickly said, “We also found this chain sail but couldn’t figure out where it ends; we had no choice and followed the cave wall hints to try the altar.”
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, “Without alternative approaches, this is the only way.”
“So, I’ll check inside the Blood River—might be cities there too, perhaps submerged like us outside.”
“If there are cities, maybe some clues can be found among them.”
“Should we bring Tu Long and the others back to the cave?” Shi Haizhu quickly asked.
Liang Yuan thought a bit and said, “No rush; the altar has a defense mechanism keeping mutant creatures at bay.”
“Eh? Why can we approach then?”
“Perhaps because your Spiritual Power is stable, the altar recognizes you as eligible to enter.” Liang Yuan guessed.
Since those mutant creatures have chaotic Spiritual Power generated by miscellaneous genes of Mutant Beasts.
They lack intelligence; chaotic Spiritual Power Hosts would be repelled by the altar’s array quite naturally.
Liang Yuan speculated this altar had a special screening mechanism; its Spiritual Power Rune Array possibly had this function.
“Mr. Liang, since that’s the case, shall we accompany you underwater?” Gu Feng couldn’t help saying.
Shi Haizhu promptly added, “Yes, we rarely encounter you; going together to have a companion.”
Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, let’s go.”
Then the three quickly flew up, hastily heading off the island.
