Chapter 1526: Deep Pit Silver Star

“That’s a huge piece of Secret-Blood Iron.”

Leng Youyue leaned in, examining the massive Secret-Blood Iron in Ye Yun’s hand, clicking her tongue and sighing, “The quality of this Secret-Blood Iron is very high, it has many dark red stripes…”

“Indeed.”

Ye Yun nodded with a smile, “The more of this Secret-Blood Iron, the more blood of the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon must be in this place.”

“Master, could it be that the Nine-tailed Divine Dragon Clan encountered a powerful enemy here, and during their battle, suffered heavy casualties, with their blood seeping into the stones…”

Mo Liqing speculated.

“That’s possible.”

Ye Yun thought for a moment, “Perhaps the Holy Artifact Mount Xumi was too tempting, so someone came to seize it midway, leading to another great battle.”

“Yes.”

Mo Liqing stepped forward, touching the millstone-sized Secret-Blood Iron, deeply moved, “Perhaps, the Dragon Dao couldn’t completely seal the aura of Mount Xumi, leading to the influence on these rocks, causing them to become so hard…”

Ye Yun nodded.

He found Mo Liqing’s words somewhat reasonable.

The Celestial Boat continued to descend, this time dropping for nearly an hour, and the black mist gradually faded.

However, the Divine Sense here was severely compressed, as if the power of a formation was at work.

Little Flower’s eyes flickered, suddenly speaking up, “Master, there are seven large pits down there…”

“Seven large pits?”

Ye Yun’s pupils slightly contracted, immediately seeing a rocky ground a thousand feet below.

On the ground, there were seven large pits arranged in the pattern of seven stars.

Hiss…

Ye Yun took a deep breath. Although these seven large pits were damaged, they still emitted remnants of formation waves, affecting the investigation of Divine Sense in this place.

“Let’s go down and take a look!”

Ye Yun said.

Little Color responded, and the Celestial Boat immediately began to descend further, landing above the seven large pits.

Each pit had a diameter of at least a hundred feet, filled with black qi. Within the black qi, silver lightning occasionally jumped and pulsated.

Mo Liqing hesitated for a moment, speaking in a low voice, “Could this be the handiwork of the Seven-Star Azure Dragon?”

“It should be.”

Ye Yun nodded, his expression serious, stepping down from the Celestial Boat to hover over one of the pits.

Mo Liqing and Little Flower quickly followed.

“Let’s explore inside the pit.”

Ye Yun chuckled lightly, flying down first.

Little Flower put up a layer of defense.

Entering the pit, the rolling black demonic qi came raging, Mo Liqing’s expression changed greatly, muttering to himself, “Such powerful demonic qi, this, all comes from Mount Xumi…”

Ye Yun reached out, grabbed a small streak of lightning.

The silver lightning struggled in his hand before disappearing.

This pit was extremely deep, and it took them several dozen breaths of time to reach the bottom despite their descent speed not being slow.

At the pit bottom.

There was an already damaged silver star, its surface covered with various strange and unusual runes.

“It seems the battle back then was intense…”

Little Flower looked at the silver star and said with a smile.

“Look at this silver star, what caused the damage?”

After a moment of silent observation, Ye Yun suddenly looked up, asking Mo Liqing.

“Master, I feel like this was caused by an artifact’s attack, and if I’m not mistaken, it might be Mount Xumi!”

Looking at the surrounding black qi, Mo Liqing revealed his inner thoughts.

“Yes, I think so too.”

Ye Yun glanced overhead, speaking calmly, “This place should be sealed with Mount Xumi, but I wonder why Mount Xumi attacked the Seven-star formation!”

Mo Liqing’s eyes flashed, thoughts racing, speculating, “Master, could it be that the Dragon Dao wanted to refine Mount Xumi through the Seven-star formation? But they didn’t expect to suffer a counterattack from Mount Xumi, which destroyed the formation and caused some of the Dragon Dao’s clan members to die tragically here?”

“I wouldn’t rule out that possibility.”

Ye Yun nodded.

He took out a green bead, and a green light fell, absorbing the silver star at the pit bottom.

Although this Seven-star formation was damaged, it held research value, and Ye Yun planned to collect it.

“Mo Liqing, gather the energy contained in the black qi here and the Secret-Blood Iron from this place since it originates from Mount Xumi…”

Ye Yun thought for a moment and said.

There was plenty of Secret-Blood Iron in the Black Abyss, and it could forge more powerful weapons for the Giant Demon Clan in the future.

“Thank you, Master.”

Mo Liqing was deeply grateful.

After these instructions, Ye Yun sequentially visited the remaining six pits, collecting all these silver stars.

These silver stars were condensed from starlight in the sky, and their surfaces were covered with mysterious runes, extremely tough.

They were equivalent to top-quality divine artifacts if used as magical treasures.

It showed how much the Dragon Dao had paid to refine Mount Xumi back then.

Unfortunately.

Mount Xumi not only had a huge background, but it also had formidable power, and the Dragon Dao failed to suppress it using the Seven-star formation.

Instead, it cost many of their clan members their lives.

It’s undeniable that the Dragon Dao’s grand efforts this time amounted to picking up a rock only to hit its own foot.

At this moment, Mo Liqing floated above the seven pits, opened his mouth wide, and inhaled all the surrounding black qi.

His mouth moved and then spat out, forming a compressed black sphere.

Mo Liqing stored the black sphere while continuing to absorb the black qi, repeating the process, constantly compressing.

The black qi in the Seven-star formation contained the energy aura of Mount Xumi, far stronger than the Secret-Blood Iron.

Mo Liqing planned to compress all this black qi into black spheres for his Giant Demon Clan to use.

Rumble…

A violent tremor suddenly came from deep below the ground beneath the seven pits.

“Hmm? What’s hidden underground?”

Ye Yun was slightly puzzled.

He never expected there to be a hidden mystery deep underground.

Rumble——

With a loud bang, the ground suddenly shattered, and a giant black shadow, resembling a giant dragon, soared out.

Ye Yun’s expression slightly changed.

He initially thought this shadow would be a dragon, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a black worm.

This black worm was a thousand feet long, covered in a layer of black armor all over its body, with densely packed insect legs on its abdomen; most strangely, it had nine heads.

The nine heads were the same size, looking fierce and grotesque, darting up and down, giving one a sense of terror.

“What an awful worm!”

Little Flower saw the worm and couldn’t help but wrinkle her brow, as a black tendril extended across the sky.

Snap!

The clawing worm was forcefully slapped back into the earth by Little Flower.

Mo Liqing stopped absorbing black qi, descending beside Ye Yun.

He stared at the black worm deep in the ground, shocked, “How could there be a Nine-headed Insect here?”

“No wonder there are nine heads; so this is the Nine-headed Insect from the Nine-tailed Clan?”

Ye Yun was enlightened.

“Yes, Master, this is the Nine-headed Insect. In the era when the Nine-headed Clan ruled, the Nine-headed Insect was the most powerful of all beings in the Nine-headed Division…”

Mo Liqing explained slowly.
