The location of the large formation was not far from the Earth's core origin.
At this moment, Wen Yu transformed into black light, penetrating the layers of the earth, flying straight toward the Earth's core origin. Soon, familiar auras entered Wen Yu's perception range.
Those were the soul puppet legion stationed here...
Once, these soul puppet legions were blinded by unknown means employed by the immortal emperor, failing to serve their warning purpose. However, after the plans of Bai and the immortal emperor succeeded, the celestial god intervened to take control of these soul puppets. But after Wen Yu's Yahagi avatar devoured the celestial god, these soul puppets returned to Wen Yu's embrace—along with numerous heaven's chosen level soul puppets and mountain puppets...
During this time, Wen Yu had indeed been busy and hadn’t found the time to visit the mountain puppets.
Clearing away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Wen Yu bypassed the soul puppets and successfully reached the vicinity of the Earth's core origin.
At this moment, around the Earth's core origin, there were formations that Wen Yu had once set up, as well as formations later added by Bai, creating a complex ultimate protective Barrier with layers upon layers.
Any normal person seeing this Barrier would probably be overwhelmed; even the current Tang Hao would certainly come to a stop before this Barrier. Yet, this posed no challenge for Wen Yu.
Gray light gathered, and Wen Yu extended his hand, transforming the chaos energy in his hand into a sharp cone, forcefully piercing into the Barrier.
In an instant, the Barrier burst forth with light, and as it became brighter and more blinding, when the light reached its peak, it exploded with a "bang," dissipating like a broken bubble.
Similarly, the large formation in front flickered continuously and then dimmed.
Thus, the last line of defense blocking Wen Yu lost its vitality, and Wen Yu slowly walked into the Earth's core origin.
...
It was still the same cave, still the same light sphere...
However, this time, standing before the Earth's core origin, Wen Yu could not find the familiar sense of intimacy he once had.
He stroked his chin and seriously circled around the Earth's core origin, patting the Great Light Sphere, while extending his soul perception. Unfortunately, the Earth's core origin did not respond to Wen Yu at all.
Wen Yu could sense that within the Earth's core origin, there was indeed a will entity. Without a doubt, this was the current spirit of the demon lord...
Yet, no matter how much Wen Yu jumped around, the spirit remained unresponsive, as if it were dead.
Wen Yu did not know how the immortal emperor achieved this, but it was evident that the former spirit of the demon lord had become the world will of this planet—domesticated and obedient.
After observing for a moment, Wen Yu finally moved his steps and walked beside the Earth's core origin. He extended his hand, gently placing it on the Great Light Sphere, while the little origin power in his body poured out directly into the sphere.
After a moment, Wen Yu slowly furrowed his brows.
...
He could sense that the interior of the Earth's core origin was not calm.
Three distinct sources of origin power intertwined, battling and devouring each other. Wen Yu could easily identify that these three sources were the Earth's core essence, Lirada origin power, and the origin power of the Immortal Heroic World.
In terms of quantity, the Earth's core essence undoubtedly held an absolute advantage. However, the fighting among the three was not determined by quantity—despite the Earth’s core essence being the most abundant, it seemed to have lost its vitality, dormant in a corner without moving, allowing Lirada origin power and the origin power of the Immortal Heroic World to gnaw at it, growing stronger.
While Lirada origin power could still launch attacks on the Earth's will, when it encountered the origin power of the Immortal Heroic World, it acted like a mouse seeing a cat, either hiding quickly or being captured and devoured clean.
