Chapter 924 - 408: Immortal Stele

Using the connection between the Nether Chain and the Blood Demon Incarnation, Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense extended along the Blood Demon Incarnation, cautiously exploring this bottomless void with the Incarnation’s detection skill.

In truth, this void’s radius is merely a hundred meters, which is immense for ordinary people, but to Chu Xiu at this tier, it already seems "narrow."

The void created by the explosion of his Spiritual Power is hundreds of meters in diameter.

However, Chu Xiu soon discovered the reason.

It’s located at the center of the entire Star Jumping Ship; the defensive capabilities here are naturally incomparable to other places. It’s impossible to use ordinary steel materials, even though the ultra-large integrated steel of the Star Jumping Ship, on Blue Star technology, possesses an inconceivable strength, it’s as fragile as a wooden board in front of those above the Demigod tier.

This central area is clearly made of a special material, and even his Chiwen Sword Qi, which can create an opening of about a hundred meters, is almost at its limit.

And at this moment, the Blood Demon Incarnation had already penetrated more than ten miles without reaching an end, and the walls of the void were smooth and level, evidently without any energy leakage, causing Chu Xiu to click his tongue secretly.

After descending several hundred meters, suddenly the scenery changed.

The large void remained the same, but the wall shifted from the alloy material of the Star Jumping Ship’s center to a strange "stone-like material."

It’s called strange because the material looks like stone, but inexplicably gives a peculiar "flesh-like" sensation.

"Is this... a Living Corpse?"

Chu Xiu looked around incredulously.

This strange stone impedes detection skills far less than high-strength solid steel, and even the Blood Demon Incarnation’s detection means, with the backing of the Nether Chain, can penetrate tens of miles.

Yet this range of tens of miles is all made of this special stone!

If this truly is a Living Corpse, then the biological body as a Living Corpse would be excessively large.

Chu Xiu soon realized his naivety.

The Blood Demon Incarnation descended nearly a thousand miles and yet hadn’t reached the end of this pit!

"What exactly is this thing..."

Due to the long distance, Chu Xiu had to descend himself into the void, using Divine Sense to scan the stone-like material up close.

And soon, he confirmed that this indeed was a Living Corpse!

However, this Living Corpse is not only unimaginably large in size but even its energy density is far superior to ordinary Living Corpses! Thus displaying an extraordinary flesh-like texture!

"Venerable Lord, though size signifies nothing substantial, due to the constraints of physical rules, those colossal creatures typically possess extremely powerful strength."

Chu Xiu nodded as if recalling the enormous Ghost encountered in the Hundred Ghosts Melting Furnace. Though merely King Tier, its energy intensity was unmatched by a hundred Heroic Spirits combined! Jiang Miaoyin even stated that three Heroic Spirits joining forces had only a slim chance of defeating it without risking their lives!

"Then this... isn’t it a Divine-Level creature?" Chu Xiu inquired.

"Venerable Lord, there’s another possibility."

"What is it?"

"That this is indeed just the true form of this God!"

"God... true form?" Chu Xiu was startled.

"Yes, Venerable Lord, a God’s true form is usually incomparably huge; they typically act through Incarnations."

"Especially those True Gods, due to refining Rule Origin, naturally shoulder the responsibility of maintaining rules, their Incarnations are scattered throughout the Cosmos, such as the Blood Pool you’ve seen, it’s merely one of their Incarnations."

These words made Chu Xiu suddenly enlightened; he had previously wondered why Blue Star, which appeared within the Celestial Derivation Divine Domain according to the Civilization Envoy matched through the King Tier Trial, had encountered the Blood Pool’s Law of Blood, similar to the Life Domain, and how he stumbled upon it.

Not to mention, how the host of Awakened individuals on Blue Star acquired so many miscellaneous Ascension Sequence abilities.

Suddenly everything made sense.

Rasputin continued: "This God definitely isn’t a ’True God’; those possessing Rule Origin as Gods cannot be killed in such a manner."

"And for those lesser gods, in a life-or-death crisis, they would transform their entire true form into a Living Corpse, supplying all power to the ’core’ as a means to escape pursuit."

"Like some Star Gods at death, even the entire planet would wither along with them... eh?"

"Venerable Lord! I think I’ve reached the bottom!"

Just as Chu Xiu was still absorbing Rasputin’s words, new intel suddenly emerged in the other’s thoughts.

Chu Xiu’s expression tightened, quickly focusing his Divine Sense on Rasputin.

A scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

At the end of this hundred-meter wide passage, there was a sphere with a radius exceeding a thousand meters. The sphere, uncertain by what material it was supported, but possessed unimaginable solidity; Rasputin tested it, but with his Demigod power, couldn’t leave even the slightest mark.

Its surface was smooth as jade, even after countless millennia, it left no sign of time’s erosion.

"Venerable Lord, this thing seems to possess certain ’Anti-Magic’ properties; merely approaching it causes internal energy suppression."

Chu Xiu was initially startled, that after such an extensive span of time, extraordinary traits remained; this was followed by excitement, realizing that although unclear what this specifically was, it undoubtedly was something of great value!

However, Chu Xiu was not hasty, and instead let the Blood Demon Incarnation continue to explore.

At the top of the sphere, there was also an opening, similarly pierced by the previous attack.
