Chapter 3087 - Sea of Fire Stargate

Chapter 3087 Sea of Fire Stargate

Judging from the appearance, it was hard to tell whether the enormous object floating in the ocean of magma was a 'door' or something else.

It was a square, enormous black cube that was almost a hundred meters long. Complicated stripes and complicated runes were attached to the surface of the cube, which was also covered in rust and mildew. It was obvious that it had been sealed for thousands of years.

Even if such a metal was buried deep inside the magma, it was impossible for it to grow rust and mold.

Therefore, it was very likely that the black cube had been retrieved from another dimension.

As the scorching magma eroded its surface, the rust, mold, and even the shell carved with stripes and rune arrays on the surface of the cube were all peeled off, revealing the pure blackness inside.

When the last shell fragment was gone, what was left in front of everyone was the deepest blackness.

It was like an invisible blade had cut and moved a square piece of space, only to leave an immeasurable hollow inside which there was nothing. No light, waves, or telepathic thoughts could penetrate through it.

Li Yao quickly scanned the shape of the black void and discovered that the ratio of length, width, and height was exactly 9:4:1. It was absolutely precise and did not miss at all.

He had only heard Li Linghai mention similar 'objects' before. They were the first gate leading to the central area from the periphery of the primeval relics.

But the scale of the gate and its appearance were hundreds of times more magnificent.

It was especially so when the black rectangular object echoed with the stars in the night sky. Billions of stars turned into gold threads of brightness and jumped into the object one after another, making the black rectangular object as brilliant and splendid as a black crystal that had been embedded with countless stars. The brilliance and majesty of the object fascinated everybody present. On the top of the snow mountain, in the middle of the ocean of magma, space was cracking, and a black gate was flashing. Billions of years and countless stars were all inside!

Li Yao's soul was deeply attracted by the black rectangular object that was embedded with stars. Distant and vigorous roars echoed in his ears, his brain, and his heart. They were the calls of the primeval era.

As his heart beat faster and faster, the strength in the deepest part of the gene strands was released continuously, encouraging him to jump into the black void filled with stars and look for the ultimate answer. The Cosmos Ring on his index finger was emitting orange brightness, too, which turned into an extremely high temperature in the blink of an eye and almost burnt his finger into ashes.

Before he activated it, a streak of brightness jumped out of the Cosmos Ring automatically. It was the half key that Li Linghai and his foster father had retrieved from the ancient tomb.

The half key was glittering. Every delicate rune array on the surface was changing and turning. Black liquid flowed out of the rune arrays and soon enveloped the key, turning it into a small black ball.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Black brightness beamed out of the black ball and scanned all the intelligent creatures inside the 'Solar Disaster.Super Extension'. Then, it suddenly split into four groups and dashed toward Li Yao, Lu Qingchen, the mental devil, and the Moongazer. "Ah!"

Li Yao felt that the pineal gland on his forehead was slightly stinging, as if a temporary brand had been engraved on it, confirming that he was qualified to take the 'ultimate test'.

Li Yao thought of something and immediately realized what was going on. It turned out that a key could not only be used by one tester. All the intelligent creatures in the scanning range of the key, be they carbon-based or energy-based, were qualified to accept the challenge.

On second thought, it was only reasonable.

After all, the ultimate test left by the creator of the black wall was to find the heir or to wait for the prey to walk into the trap.

Whether it was the heir or the prey, naturally, the more the merrier. The larger the range of selection, the more suitable the candidate would be.

"We have really jumped to the ultimate test!"

The sharp brainwaves of the Observer echoed. "According to the research of the specialists of the Heavenly Palace, one can reach the next world fragment by passing through the swirl in the center of the ocean of magma. But such a weird and splendid space gate has never appeared before. It must be the entrance to the ultimate test!

"I didn't expect that our progress would be so smooth. Is it really because of… human beings? Is it because you have 100% of the primeval genes that you can jump to this step?

"However, the Immortals of Destruction, Long Lianzi, and Gu Wuxin are all gathered above the space gate. There are too many ferocious beasts and experts for them to let us in easily!

Li Yao sniffed and scanned the situation above the magma ocean. The appearance of the space gate shocked and infuriated many experts.

Many experts accelerated and lunged at the space gate.

In the end, he crashed into the enemy's blades and the surging tides in the ocean of magma at an even higher speed. He screamed in regret and fell off.

Only the Zhurong Clan, which was best at surviving and fighting in high-temperature environments, and the intelligent carbon-based creatures that originated from the magma and survived by swallowing magma like giant sandworms, were like fish in water in this place. They and their deformed mutants, slashing the waves and raising thousands of streams of flames, continued marching toward the space gate. However, faced with the overwhelming killing intent and fighting will of the three primeval experts, the warriors of Zhurong, who were born in flames, hit an invisible wall one after another. Their bones were broken, and they were blown away.

The three experts of the primeval era stood above the space gate. Behind their back, flames of different colors and magma were burning furiously, but their life and soul were both stimulated to the maximum.

The abnormal lump on the shoulder of 'Obliteration', an expert of the Pangu Clan, which was even larger than a head, gradually split in the middle, revealing a black, live ball inside. It looked like a giant, weird eyeball.

The eyeball was emitting a cruel and terrifying brilliance. Wherever it looked, a black brightness would follow. All the intelligent creatures that were scanned by it for more than 0.1 seconds would fall into great desperation and fear. Their minds would collapse instantly, and their brains might boil and explode.

Even Li Yao, who was hiding in the darkness, felt that thousands of lightning bolts were striking his brain when he glanced at the malformed tumor of the 'Dao of Mass Destruction' with his telepathic thoughts. He felt that an eyeball was about to jump out of every one of his brain cells, and all the eyeballs were staring at his soul. The weird feeling was beyond description.

The expert 'Dragon Lotus' of the Nuwa Clan, on the other hand, waved her Dimensional Sickle that could split the space even more brutally. In silence, she cut out almost a hundred interconnecting black gaps that almost covered the entire space gate. Some of the experts who were too close to the space gate to stop and passed by the black gaps were cut in half easily.

It was like Dragon Lotus had created a weird space discontinuity around him that was hundreds of times more terrifying than the domain of the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Of the three strongest experts of the primeval era, 'Gu Wuxin', leader of the Heavenly Palace, was relatively weaker.

After all, he was the leader of a group of experts and scholars. Although he had trained himself to the peak of perfection in the exploration of the Heaven's Origin Sector, how could he be compared to the two professional soldiers named 'Oblivion' and 'Long Lianzi', who were born for killing and had even been strengthened by the 'Monster Virus'?

Faced with the pressure of the two experts, Gu Wuxin made the right choice.

He waved his giant golden tail and made a weird turn in midair. A golden mist surged out of his scales and covered the hundred square meters nearby, while he turned into a streak of brightness and dashed toward the space gate.

It was a pity that the 'best choice' could not help him pass through the space gate first.

With a deep roar, the malformed sarcoma on his shoulder that looked like a giant eyeball expanded again in the blink of an eye, releasing a black brightness that seemed to be real. It reached Gu Wuxin first and condensed into a vivid mirror version of itself!

Such a technique was far beyond the range of illusions. Even Li Yao, who was observing from the side, saw the mirror version of the 'Path of Mass Obliteration' and sensed the immense aura of the 'illusion'.

Gu Wuxin gritted his teeth and tried to pass through the illusions.

But as it turned out, the 100%-mirror version of the illusion condensed by the real 'glance' of the Sect of Immortals really triggered an apocalyptic killing intent and stabbed at the center of Gu Wuxin's eyebrow. The killing intent was so real that even Li Yao could not tell whether or not it boasted real damage. Maybe it was an illusion, but maybe it could pierce through Gu Wuxin's glabella, his brain, and his entire skull.

Gu Wuxin did not dare to take the risk.

Even though his consciousness was willing to take the risk, his body, as a researcher, was still unable to keep up with the reaction of his consciousness. Naturally, he revealed the natural instinct of fear and slowed down.

While he was hesitating, the black gap of the Dragon Lotus Seed had already wrapped around his shoulder and cut off his right arm, shoulder, and part of his body.

For a moment, there was astonishment and bewilderment on Gu Wuxin's face, as if he did not understand why he suddenly lost balance.

The wound that almost pierced through his entire body was as smooth as a broken mirror. Not a single drop of blood flowed out. It was as if his body was still connected to his right arm, only obscured by some kind of mysterious camouflage.

However, in the next second, blood, body fluids, spiritual flames, and broken internal organs spurted out of the black fracture, and the severed arm was blown away.

"Gu Wuxin' grunted. His face was pale, and the gold brightness around him dimmed and dispersed. He fell into the ocean of magma helplessly.
