My Immortal Cultivation Game Life

Chapter 848: Chapter 400: The Lake of Origin_2

Same as before, Lu Yi, Yu Cheng, Yu Xuanyi, and Yu Yunqing acted simultaneously, temporarily restraining the Jiuyou Monster, then Lu Yi threw two spheres condensed from Taoist Energy, instantly purifying the Jiuyou Monster.

After the Jiuyou Monster turned to ashes and vanished, Yu Xuanyi gasped a few breaths, still feeling some heart palpitations, and said, "I didn’t expect there to be such a terrifying monster here!"

Yu Yunqing nodded, his face also pale: "Luckily, Yi’er was here, otherwise, the three of us would have been in serious trouble."

Yu Cheng and Yu Xuanyi both nodded without disagreement.

"Fortunately, this monster did not appear earlier and did not leave the Abyss Ruins, otherwise, the entire Sky Falling Star Domain would have been doomed."

Yu Cheng couldn’t help but exclaim.

The others also nodded slightly.

Though they were unsure why such a powerful Jiuyou Monster hadn’t left this restricted zone, they felt more relieved than anything.

Afterwards, Yu Cheng looked apprehensively into the depths of the camp, his voice filled with concern: "...Were these three monsters transformed due to the disturbances inside? What’s really in there?"

Lu Yi, Yu Xuanyi, and Yu Yunqing fell silent, staring into the depths of the camp.

They couldn’t be certain.

After a pause, Yu Xuanyi looked at his companions and asked, "What do you think? Should we go have a look?"

Yu Yunqing and Yu Cheng looked towards Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was the strongest among them and had command over the Space Origin, making him able to both attack and retreat. If Lu Yi had confidence, they were willing to attempt; otherwise, they felt uncertain.

Even as Immortal Kings, having faced the three monsters just now, they clearly understood that their strength probably couldn’t be considered invincible within the Abyss Ruins; it was still dangerous for Immortal Kings here.

Under the watchful eyes of the group, Lu Yi pondered for a moment and nodded: "We’re already here, let’s go in and have a look."

Since they had come this far, Lu Yi didn’t want to give up. Initially, he planned to capture those Jiuyou Cultivators and find a way to extract the secrets of the Abyss Ruins from them, but unexpectedly, all those Jiuyou Cultivators had been turned into monsters.

Clearly, those monsters lacked intelligence and couldn’t be controlled, so they could only be killed.

Thus, he couldn’t ascertain the true situation deep within the Abyss Ruins.

Honestly, if he hadn’t seen so many Jiuyou Cultivators here and heard the roars from the depth of the Abyss Ruins, even if he didn’t know the secrets of its depths, he would choose to return and investigate again when stronger.

But now, with Jiuyou Monsters even at the Immortal King Realm emerging, if what was inside had been alerted, it could cause them to escape the Abyss Ruins after they leave, marking a colossal catastrophe for the Sky Falling Star Domain.

No, not just the Sky Falling Star Domain, but a massive disaster for the entire universe.

He had no choice but to investigate the situation now, as this was the only way to grasp the precise direction and know how to proceed with handling the Abyss Ruins.

Hearing Lu Yi’s words, Yu Cheng and the others nodded: "In that case, let’s go in."

"But first, let’s rest a bit and adjust our states to the best, just in case there are more formidable monsters inside," Yu Xuanyi couldn’t help but say.

Lu Yi noticed Yu Cheng and the others’ breaths were somewhat faint, and they had injuries and traces of Jiuyou Qi escaping.

Lu Yi nodded: "Alright!"

He used Taoist Energy to disperse the Jiuyou Qi within the three, and with their Immortal King status, their recovery ability was unsurprisingly powerful; before long, they fully returned to peak condition.

"Let’s move out!"

Once prepared, the group flew towards the depths of the camp.

Lu Yi chose not to use the Space Origin to travel through space, partly due to fear of missing details, and partly because the force that created the monsters also came from the Different Space; traversing within might disturb something.

Cautiously, they flew towards the depths of a planetary wreck, the Jiuyou Qi growing increasingly dense with their advance.

They gradually approached the area emitting a ghostly light.

Soon, they were close enough to see the area clearly.

To Lu Yi’s astonishment, that area was empty, and within the deep, dark space was a region resembling water waves, with ghostly light emanating from it.

Lu Yi could distinctly sense the power emerging from those waves was Taoist Energy, rather than Jiuyou Qi.

Besides, Lu Yi even sensed multiple types of Origin within that area, including the Origin of Destiny, Natural Origin, and Fire Origin.

Some of the Origin powers there exceeded Lu Yi’s current level by far!

This implied that the masters of these Origins had perceived their power beyond Small Success, even exceeding the Great Success Realm!

This was certainly an Immortal Emperor!

Lu Yi looked at the ball of light resembling a lake, in disbelief.

Why was there such strong Origin power and Taoist Energy here?

Not just Lu Yi, but the expressions of Yu Cheng, Yu Xuanyi, and Yu Yunqing beside him also showed shock.

As Immortal Kings, they too could perceive Taoist Energy and Origin Power.

They were completely sure that the power contained within the ghostly light exceeded them by far!

Remember, they were all Immortal Kings!

In the present universe, they were already among the strongest!

"Is the power here... left from the Ancient Times?" Yu Cheng asked in astonishment.

Yu Xuanyi and the others exchanged puzzled glances.

"...But in the Ancient Times, wasn’t this supposed to be the grounds of the Fate Immortal King? Why would that Immortal King allow other powerful beings to leave such mighty power here? Moreover, the essence of power here is extremely complex; there must be a number of cultivators who left this power, each exceedingly powerful, with the weakest stronger than us. Why would such strong individuals idly leave power here?" Yu Xuanyi said, bewildered.

Yu Yunqing shook his head: "Perhaps it wasn’t left when the Fate Immortal King was still here? Maybe this power is related to the appearance of Abyss Ruins?"

Hearing Yu Yunqing’s words, Lu Yi and the others fell into contemplation.

Then Lu Yi wondered aloud: "After the Fate Immortal King left here, he entered the Jiuyou World, and other Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors also entered. If that’s the case, who left this power? And with so many strong beings, could it be those Immortal Kings and Emperors returned from Jiuyou World once?"

This thought caused Lu Yi considerable alarm.

After all, from the information obtained from the residual shadow of Red Immortal King, it seemed the Immortal Kings and Emperors never returned after entering the Jiuyou World.

Yet the present power evidently required many Immortal Kings and Emperors to simultaneously act to leave it.

This was somewhat inconsistent with the original scenario.

But... Lu Yi was still somewhat skeptical.

Logically, as a projection left from the Red Immortal King’s power, if the Red Immortal King did return from Jiuyou World, there’s no reason he wouldn’t have noticed.

If so, wouldn’t the residual shadow of the Red Immortal King have informed Lu Yi if those individuals had truly returned?

At the moment, Lu Yi felt somewhat disoriented.

Just as everyone was deep in thought, the ghostly light of the power lake suddenly rose in violent waves.

Enormous distorted shadows flickered crazily under the ghostly light, fervent howls emanated from it, and the surrounding Jiuyou Qi seemed to gain life, transforming into black tides rushing at Lu Yi and the others, attempting to engulf them.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yi’s pupils slightly contracted; the Taoist Energy within him surged, forming a dense shield blocking the Jiuyou Qi outside.

The tide-like Jiuyou Qi crashed against the Taoist Energy barrier, causing it to ripple like water.

Lu Yi felt some alarm; this Jiuyou Qi was exceedingly powerful, even after he completely merged the Taoist Energy, it was still a bit shaken by the impact.

Thankfully, although the barrier slightly trembled, ultimately, the Taoist Energy barrier steadied and protected firmly.

At this moment, Lu Yi’s eyes flashed, looking towards the ghostly light of the power lake’s direction.

He noticed that the fate of that area seemed to show signs of disharmony.
