CHAPTER 931: Ancient Forbidden Land
"Something unexpected happened, but it's no big deal."
With a slight effort, the two spiritual stones in Liu Yu's hand turned to ash, and he stood up and said lightly.
He habitually concealed part of his strength. Despite making a breakthrough in cultivation, the aura and spiritual pressure he exuded remained unchanged from before.
As for Purple Rainbow, naturally, he wouldn't disclose such matters.
In less than half a day since entering Radiant Night Cave Heaven, they had already obtained the spiritual object Sunflower and the Sun and Moon Spiritual Spring.
Despite a minor mishap, it instead turned into a blessing in disguise, further advancing his body refinement cultivation.
These gains made Liu Yu even more eager for the upcoming journey, having already delayed for some time, he was eager to set off and scour for treasures.
"Enough small talk, several hours have passed; let’s set off."
"We can't let other cultivators and the demonic race take the lead."
Sensing the fully restored magical power within him, Liu Yu quickly exchanged a few words and decisively stated.
"You're absolutely right."
Huang Mei, Mo Mei, Kong Zhao, and Purple Rainbow nodded in succession.
"Whoosh, whoosh~"
Soon, five escape lights soared into the sky, rapidly retreating into the distance.
Among the colorful escape lights, all five wore serious expressions, maintaining a heightened alertness, their spiritual consciousness constantly extended outward, preventing any unexpected occurrences.
Liu Yu was at the front, with Huang Mei behind him, and Mo Mei and Kong Zhao positioned on the left and right flanks.
The weakest, Purple Rainbow True Lord, stayed in the safest center due to having received the least share of the gains.
...
The Radiant Night Cave Heaven, suspected to be crafted by a void refinement master, was closer to a real world, inhabited by numerous "natives."
There were ancient ten thousand races, as well as humans.
However, the Radiant Night Cave Heaven was ultimately not a world with complete rules, and one could only cultivate up to the peak of the fourth stage.
Thus, even the strongest natives were equivalent to peak yuan ying.
For Liu Yu's group, this essentially meant they could sweep through without much risk.
After all, even though it retained ancient characteristics and had relatively abundant resources, the Radiant Night Cave Heaven was still just a small world.
The diversity of resources was quite limited, and the development of cultivation arts was exceedingly slow, even nearing stagnation.
In contrast, in the outside world, after millions of years of development, the cultivation arts were far better than before; the cultivation techniques had become more refined, and the spells more powerful.
Due to the "arms race" between humans and demons, compared to a million years ago, cultivation civilization had made significant advancements in all areas.
Whether it be magical treasures or divine abilities, they clearly surpassed those of the native inhabitants of the cave heaven.
In the case of equally ranked opponents, generally speaking, the incoming true lord demonic kings were stronger.
Moreover, a considerable portion of the true lord demonic kings who entered the cave heaven came in groups, possessing a distinct advantage over the scattered, non-affiliated tribes and city-states within the cave heaven.
With the limit capped at peak of the fourth stage, Liu Yu and his companions could sweep through any native forces they encountered with ease.
"Rumble, rumble."
In a vast black marsh, there were booming sounds that shook the surroundings.
The power of the fourth stage radiated outward, with countless mud flying everywhere; a casual flicker of that power could leave a deep pit in the marsh.
The scale of the battle was tremendous, instantly flipping the marsh upside down, resembling a “holy war” in the eyes of mortals, as if even the great Dao was about to be extinguished.
However, this battle lasted no more than a quarter of an hour before showing signs of coming to an end, the intensity of the duel of magic gradually diminishing.
