Wen Yu and Bai stood at the edge of the passage, their mouths agape, staring in awe at the magnificent scene at the end of the tunnel.
Before them was an incredibly vast pit, so enormous that even Wen Yu's keen eyesight couldn't see the bottom. Surrounding the pit were endless sheer cliffs, which were dotted with numerous holes of various sizes, resembling a beehive. Wen Yu and his companions were just standing in one of the honeycomb cells, while in the center of the pit was a gigantic whirlpool-like formation...
It looked like a nebula whirlpool; although it was smaller than a real nebula whirlpool, it still appeared grand and magnificent!
The immense origin power surged within the pit, swirling and clashing with one another, mixing together and finally merging into dozens of mighty arms!
These dozens of powerful arms continuously stirred, dissipating the tremendous origin power into the hollow spaces in the surrounding cliffs, and this was the source of the origin power leakage!
Inside the arms was a massive sphere of white light, entirely composed of condensed origin power. The concentration of origin power within it far exceeded what Wen Yu had seen in the Heart of the World. They pressed together and turned into a liquid state, forming a vast lake in the center of the sphere that rose and fell with each stirring of the arms, producing waves and sounds of tumultuous tides.
Even from an unknown distance away, Wen Yu could hear the deafening roar of the origin lake!
“It should be here…”
The sound around him was overwhelming, so Wen Yu could only communicate his judgment to Bai using soul transmission—Wen Yu could hardly imagine the astonishing capacity of the real origin pool if this place was not it.
Upon hearing Wen Yu's voice, Bai's eyes sparkled with brilliance. He nodded gently and slowly began to float.
“Wait for me…”
After this simple statement, Bai immediately flew toward the origin pool, indicating that he had almost completed his plan, just one final step away!
However, a sudden change occurred!
Before Bai could fly far, an astonishing howling sound erupted from the other honeycomb cells around them. The sound mixed together, combining with the special terrain of this place, producing an effect similar to a mental attack.
Of course, this effect could not affect Wen Yu and Bai, but the significance behind it was extraordinary. At that moment, Wen Yu's expression darkened, while Bai's demeanor changed drastically!
Soon, the source of the sound rushed out from the honeycomb cells—it was the endless Guardians!
Each hole contained around a thousand Guardians, and the number of holes here was so numerous that Wen Yu didn’t even want to count them. The resulting quantity could likely surpass Wen Yu's soul strength!
Quantitative change leading to qualitative change…
They burst out of the passage, and it seemed as if some entity was controlling them. The Guardians all assembled mid-air—the efficiency and rapid speed of the machines allowed this to be completed in less than a second. Then, in front of Wen Yu and Bai, an endless wall appeared…
The length—impossible to see the end… The height—similarly boundless. They were faithfully executing their duty to guard this place, completely blocking all pathways for Wen Yu and Bai. However, these Guardians Type III were not just for guarding…
In the next moment, the Guardians trembled and emitted a violent “buzzing” sound, the volume of which even overshadowed the waves stirred up by the origin lake. The next instant, they sprang into action…
A deluge of attacks crashed down in an instant, and Wen Yu's body was instantly shredded to pieces. Any defensive capability became insignificant in front of the Guardians, and then the photosynthetic spirit pattern activated—but in the very next moment, a second wave of attacks followed!
If it weren't for the triple protection effects of the super destiny fight, Blood Flesh Chapter, and ancient dragon's fury, Wen Yu would have undoubtedly faced a situation of instant defeat—yet, with the countless photosynthetic spirit patterns he possessed, Wen Yu was able to hold on for a while.
