Chapter 643 The Yuan Tu's Lair
After putting away the Chaos Spiritual Root, Chu Yang did not linger at all and flew directly towards the place where Yuan Tu had fallen.
Along the way, chaotic energy surged, like a pot of thick porridge, hindering his progress.
Chu Yang frowned; this chaotic energy was even more troublesome than he had imagined.
As he flew, he recalled the chaotic laws he had gleaned from the gourd runes. Those profound runes, like tadpoles, swam in his mind, and gradually, he began to try to integrate these laws into his attacks.
"laugh!"
Chu Yang pointed his fingers to form a sword, and a sword aura shot out. Originally just an ordinary sword aura, its power increased several times after being integrated with the laws of chaos! The sword aura tore through the chaos, emitting a sharp whistling sound, and wherever it passed, the chaotic energy gave way.
"Interesting." Chu Yang's lips curled up slightly. This Chaos Law was indeed incredibly profound.
Several days later, Chu Yang arrived at a place filled with dense chaotic energy and a faint trace of demonic energy. A thought struck him: could this demonic energy… be the remnant aura of Yuan Tu?
Chu Yang cautiously slowed down, carefully exploring the area. The surroundings were deathly silent, with only the slow flow of chaotic energy. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened as he discovered fragments of broken weapons and magical artifacts beside a massive meteorite.
These fragments exude an ancient and powerful aura; even though they are broken and dilapidated, one can still sense the terrifying power they contain.
"Hiss... This... This couldn't be..." Chu Yang gasped. He picked up a fragment and examined it closely. Judging from its aura, the fragment was actually a piece of a supreme innate treasure!
There are only four innate treasures in the entire primordial world.
The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Eastern Emperor Bell—later, the Eastern Emperor Bell died in battle with Taiyi, and its whereabouts became unknown.
Even saints like Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nuwa did not possess any innate supreme treasures!
Every innate treasure possesses boundless power!
And here, several such fragments are scattered! One can imagine how fierce the battle must have been!
What kind of power could shatter even a supreme innate treasure?
Chu Yang carefully collected these fragments. Although they were broken, if they could be reforged, they might be able to create a powerful magic weapon.
After searching the surrounding area and confirming that nothing else had been missed, Chu Yang continued flying towards the place where Yuan Tu had fallen.
Not far after Chu Yang left, about 500 miles away, a strange eyeball suddenly appeared. It stared at the direction Chu Yang had left in, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
……
In the chaos, directions were hard to discern. Fortunately, Chu Yang had absorbed Yuan Tu's memories; otherwise, he would have been lost in this vast chaos long ago.
Throughout the journey, Chu Yang remained highly vigilant.
The chaos is fraught with danger, with all sorts of ferocious beasts and bizarre beings emerging one after another. A slight misstep could lead to utter destruction.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar rang out, followed by a pungent, fishy stench. Chu Yang's expression changed, and he quickly dodged to avoid it.
A gigantic, chaotic beast, resembling a giant python and entirely black, charged past the spot where he had just been standing.
This giant python is incredibly fast and powerful. If you were to get entangled by it, you would probably be severely injured, if not killed.
"That was close! This chaotic creature definitely possesses the strength of a peak Quasi-Saint!"
Chu Yang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, secretly relieved. Thanks to the Chaos Law he had comprehended from the gourd, which made him more sensitive to the chaotic energy, he had managed to dodge this fatal blow.
The giant python, seemingly enraged by its missed attack, writhed in the chaos, further disturbing the turbulent energy.
Its scarlet snake eyes stared intently at Chu Yang, hissing threateningly, and its foul breath sprayed onto Chu Yang's face, causing him to frown.
"You beast, you're courting death!" Chu Yang snorted coldly, and the laws of chaos surged, pouring into the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
He was no saint; since this beast was courting death, he'd send it on its way!
It's just a Chaos Beast at the peak of Quasi-Saint level. Chu Yang's current strength is already quite close to that of a Saint, not to mention that he also has a supreme weapon, the Four Swords of Zhuxian!
"cut!"
With a flash of sword light, a sharp sword aura shot out, heading straight for the giant python's vital spot.
The python reacted quickly, its massive body twisting nimbly to narrowly evade the fatal blow.
The sword energy grazed its scales, sparking a shower of sparks. Several black scales drifted down, turning into chaotic energy, and eventually slowly dissipated within it.
"The skin is quite thick."
Upon seeing this, Chu Yang's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. Although this giant python was not weak, it was still far inferior to him.
He has now mastered the laws of chaos, and his strength is no longer what it used to be.
"Again!"
Chu Yang's figure flashed, transforming into a blur, and he instantly appeared atop the giant python's head. He brandished his longsword, unleashing a torrent of sharp sword energy.
The giant python roared repeatedly, its massive body thrashing left and right, but it could not shake off Chu Yang's attacks.
The sword energy struck it, and although it didn't cause fatal damage, it still caused it considerable pain.
"roar!"
The giant python let out a mournful roar, finally realizing something was wrong, and then tried to escape.
But at this moment, Chu Yang would not let him escape.
The four swords of Zhuxian hummed incessantly, their sword energy crisscrossing and weaving into an impenetrable net of swords that enveloped the giant python.
The giant python charged left and right, but it could not break through the sword net's blockade.
"Trying to escape? Too late!" Chu Yang sneered, his sword technique changed, and the Four Swords of Zhuxian shone brightly, the sword energy becoming even more fierce, pouring down like a storm.
The python's scales finally gave way under the intense attack, shattering one by one and splattering blood.
It let out a series of mournful roars, its massive body churning violently in the chaos, making the chaotic energy even more disordered.
"Die!" A murderous glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes. He merged the four swords of Zhuxian into one, transforming them into a dazzling sword light, which fiercely slashed towards the giant python's head.
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, the giant python's head was cleaved open by the sword light, revealing its internal structure. Immediately afterward, its massive body crashed to the ground, creating a huge wave in the chaos.
"If this chaotic beast were released into the primordial world, it would likely be a calamity!"
He reached out to put the giant python's corpse into his storage ring, but before he could get there, the python's corpse turned into chaotic energy and mixed with the surrounding chaotic energy.
Chu Yang frowned slightly as he watched the giant python dissipate.
This chaotic beast, after its death, didn't even leave behind a corpse; it directly transformed into chaotic energy, which was quite peculiar.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it. He already knew this from Yuan Tu's memories. After all, anything strange could happen in the chaos.
After dealing with the chaotic creature, Chu Yang continued flying forward.
In the chaos, time seemed to lose its meaning.
Chu Yang didn't know how much time had passed, but he felt the chaotic energy around him growing increasingly dense, almost crushing him into dust.
He groaned, and the laws of chaos activated, which made him feel a little better.
About a month passed quietly in this chaos.
Ahead, a huge, naturally formed vortex appeared in Chu Yang's field of vision.
The vortex spun slowly, like the gaping maw of an abyss, devouring everything around it and emanating a chilling aura.
"We're almost there." Chu Yang took a deep breath. He knew that Yuan Tu's lair was deep within this vortex.
The four swords of Zhuxian emitted a resounding clang, encircling Chu Yang and forming a formidable sword formation.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Yang plunged headlong into the vortex.
In Yuan Tu's memory, this vortex did not have much power; anyone with the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal could pass through it safely.
As soon as he entered the vortex, Chu Yang felt as if he had been thrown into a giant washing machine. The world spun around him, and the chaotic energy became even more violent, cutting into his body like knives.
However, Chu Yang simply channeled his magic power to form a spherical shield around his body, which blocked the attack.
He was holding the Immortal Execution Sword in his hand to prevent any accidents!
He didn't know how much time had passed when Chu Yang suddenly felt a bright light before his eyes. The tearing force suddenly disappeared, and Chu Yang landed on the ground.
"Cough cough..."
Chu Yang exhaled a breath of stale air and looked around.
He found himself on a desolate plain, the ground riddled with cracks and ruins, as if a great battle had taken place there.
In the center of the plain, the remains of a massive array came into view.
Although the formation is in ruins, its former grandeur can still be seen.
"Is this the lair of the Yuan Tu?" Chu Yang stepped into the formation and began to observe it carefully.
From Yuan Tu's memories, Chu Yang learned that this formation was called the "Chaos Limitless Formation". Once activated, it could isolate the chaotic energy, forming an independent space, and it also contained all sorts of incredible abilities.
According to Yuan Tu's memories, a large part of the reason he was so powerful was because of this great formation!
Chu Yang stood before the ruins of the "Chaos Limitless Array," his brows furrowed.
The array's patterns were intricate and complex, interwoven like a spider web, but now they were in ruins, with many patterns broken, as if they had been torn apart by a giant beast.
"The core of this formation is severely damaged; repairing it would be virtually impossible. Even Master probably couldn't do it!"
Chu Yang sighed, his fingertips gently brushing across the broken array patterns, feeling the residual chaotic power within.
He was an expert in formations and could see the formation's former glory at a glance. But it was precisely because of this that he could better appreciate the regret that came with its current state of ruin.
Even the Sage Tongtian, renowned for his array formations, would probably be helpless against such an array.
"However..." A glint of light flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, "These remaining runes are quite interesting."
He waved his hand to collect the broken array pillars. Although these pillars were broken, the runes on them were well preserved, and perhaps some secrets about the Chaos Limitless Array could be gleaned from them.
According to Yuan Tu's memory, although most things in this lair were destroyed, there was one thing that was absolutely impossible to destroy.
That item was Chu Yang's true objective for this trip.
Chu Yang began to search carefully in the ruins, his eyes sweeping over every piece of rubble and every broken pillar.
The area is not large, but because it is severely damaged, it is full of rubble and debris, making it quite difficult to find anything.
Time ticked by, and Chu Yang still hadn't found his target, which made him increasingly frustrated.
"Could it be that Yuan Tu's memory is flawed?"
Chu Yang thought to himself, and just as he was about to give up, his gaze suddenly fell on an inconspicuous black stone not far away.
"It's still there!" Chu Yang was overjoyed.
The stone was only the size of a palm, and it was completely black. At first glance, it didn't seem special at all. Chu Yang walked over and picked it up, but even with his divine eye, he couldn't see anything special about it.
Chu Yang weighed the black stone in his hand. It was cold to the touch and smooth, like some kind of jade, but without the warmth of jade.
He probed it with a wisp of his divine sense, but it was like throwing a mud ox into the sea—there was no reaction whatsoever.
"Strange." Chu Yang frowned. This stone looked ordinary, yet it gave him a strange feeling.
He observed it repeatedly, even using the chaotic laws he had gleaned from the gourd runes, but he still couldn't fathom the secrets inside the stone.
Since he couldn't store the stone in his spatial storage, Chu Yang could only put the black stone in his pocket and turn to leave the ruins.
He didn't rush to study the strange rock. His intuition told him that this thing was extraordinary, and that rashly exploring it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
He returned along the same route, but the chaotic vortex continued to churn, like a giant beast ready to devour its prey.
Chu Yang took a deep breath and stepped inside again.
The tearing force arrived as expected, but having already experienced the process once, it no longer had much of an impact on him.
Passing through the vortex, Chu Yang returned to the place where the chaotic energy was so dense that he had slain the chaotic beast.
Just as he was about to speed away from this horrible place, a chill ran down his spine.
He stopped abruptly, a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. That feeling of being watched was back!
Chu Yang released his divine sense, spreading it outwards like a tide, but found nothing. This space was empty, except for the dense chaotic energy.
"An illusion?" Chu Yang wondered, but the feeling of being constantly on edge wouldn't go away.
He decided to leave as soon as possible, activating his spiritual power to transform into a streak of light and fly towards the edge of the chaotic energy.
However, just as he was flying away, he caught a glimpse of crimson out of the corner of his eye.
That eerie eyeball!
It hovered silently in the chaotic energy, its scarlet pupils fixed on Chu Yang, following him like a leech.
Chu Yang's heart sank. This was no illusion! What exactly was this thing?
Why would such a thing exist in the chaos?
Chu Yang sped up again, trying to shake off the eyeball. However, no matter how fast he accelerated, the eyeball always maintained a certain distance from him, neither too close nor too far, like a ghost.
Chu Yang stopped, his face grim.
There's no escaping it, so we have no choice but to face it head-on!
He unleashed the Four Swords of Zhuxian, and four sharp sword energies soared into the sky, drawing four dazzling lines of light in the chaotic energy, stirring up the surrounding chaotic energy.
"You're playing tricks! Get out here!"
With a roar, Chu Yang unleashed the four swords of Zhuxian, which transformed into four streaks of light that shot towards the eyeball.
However, just as the sword energy was about to strike the eyeball, the eyeball suddenly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Chu Yang was shocked. This thing could actually dodge the attacks of the Four Swords of Zhuxian?
He cautiously surveyed his surroundings, his spiritual awareness fully activated, not daring to relax for a moment. (End of Chapter)
