Under the sky of the Ruins Doomsday, a mountain range stretching for dozens of kilometers was split in half, creating a massive fissure over ten kilometers long and a kilometer wide.
Beneath this abyss-like fissure, scorching lava rolled, emanating intense heat and a dark red glow, swirling up thick black smoke.
These black and red poisonous gases spread over the fissure, containing strong void energy that eroded Chen Chu's true power, producing a sizzling sound.
Whoosh!! The black and white mecha behind Chen Chu expelled hot qi waves, propelling him towards the opposite side of the fissure.
As they entered the range of black mist and poisonous gas, the erosion from the void surged, causing Chen Chu's golden flames to erupt and clash against the void energy, producing a thunderous roar.
Jia Baifina's mecha energy shield consumed even more, with eight fully loaded energy cells visibly depleting at a rapid pace.
In the middle of the cliff engulfed by poisonous gas, there was an entrance to a cave about a hundred meters high and several dozen meters wide, where the howling winds of a ten-level typhoon formed a vortex.
Bang! The heavy mecha shattered the wind vortex, and after pushing against the fierce winds and advancing for hundreds of meters, it finally came to a stop.
"According to the synthesized images from the radar waves, there are two detected main passages, one going up and one going down. Should we split up or go together?"
Chen Chu said solemnly, "Let's split up and explore. It will be dark soon, and we don't have much time. Be careful; we have already gone deep into the ruins."
"I understand." With that, the two separated.
Bearing the winds of a ten-level typhoon, Chen Chu charged upwards towards the passage towering a hundred meters high, with each step of his heavy battle boots crushing the rocks beneath.
This truly was a relic, with traces of former buildings everywhere, but these structures had almost all eroded and collapsed after years of fierce winds.
Thus, as Chen Chu continued upwards, he found nothing and soon followed a spiral cave that led to a massive stone platform at the top.
Amidst the roaring winds, Chen Chu picked up a black iron block from the corner; with a slight effort, this once-hard steel cracked like brittle stone.
"These winds are problematic." Instantly, Chen Chu narrowed his eyes and looked up.
At the center of the cave's ceiling was a hollow about twenty meters in diameter, pitch black, with tangible winds roaring out, creating a tremendous force.
Within these fierce winds, Chen Chu sensed some special power, somewhat similar to the 'wind' that Seistia commanded.
Bang! The stone platform collapsed, and under the powerful rebound force, Chen Chu transformed into a beam of golden light and rushed into the wind tunnel, immediately followed by a terrifying shockwave.
Boom! Chen Chu's dazzling golden flames erupted, colliding hard with the nearly tangible black whirlwind, producing explosive roars and sending out ripples of golden-black halos.
Under the cave's compression, these fierce winds were immensely powerful, almost comparable to an attack from a sixth level of heaven cultivator, and the force was endless.
In such a situation, even Chen Chu unleashed all of his true power, the flames erupting and forming a thick half-meter gold-red scale shield under the enhancement of the Dragon Blood Battle Armor.
Amidst the rumbling explosions, Chen Chu braved the black whirlwind, climbing upwards with astonishing speed like a gecko.
After charging upward for nearly a thousand meters, he finally reached a peculiar mountain interior.
It resembled a beehive, with strands of black rock hanging down, harder than alloy, forming circular steps, with several wind holes scattered around, each one a meter or two wide.
At the center of these wind holes, a human-head-sized spiral crystal slowly rotated, emanating fluctuations of the laws, stirring the fierce winds in the heavens and the earth.
"Indeed, it is a wind system resource, and it contains the law principles andι΅."
