Chapter 1728 Altar Guardian, Entering the Trial!

Ten minutes later, the five teams were almost ready.

Everyone was in top condition. The Narwhal spaceship was quietly moored in the center of the platform, where Ye Wen was assigned to guard it.

At the same time, Ye Chuyun also arranged for a clone to protect Ye Wen here in case of any accidents.

"Final confirmation of the communication," Ye Chuyun said in a deep voice.

Su Muyu immediately responded: "The Lingxi Channel is now stably connected across all frequency bands, and the mental imprints of the team captains and members have been bound."

"Within the Ancient God Continent, as long as one does not enter areas with special isolation rules, basic communication and emergency positioning should be maintained."

"If the signal is interrupted, a preset beacon will be used as the return guide."

Ye Chuyun nodded, and finally reminded him, "Remember, safety first, exploration second."

"If you encounter unavoidable danger, immediately retreat or seek assistance. Depart!"

The five teams set off according to the general directions marked on the map and their assigned tasks.

Ye Chuyun left alone.

The route he chose was a main road that led directly to the core area of ​​the ancient god continent.

The road is wide, with metal walls on both sides filled with various pipes and unidentified structures.

Ye Chuyun walked slowly.

The map from his previous life contained very little information about the interior of the Ancient God Continent, only vaguely mentioning the approximate locations of a few trial areas. More detailed paths, traps, and guards required him to explore on his own.

After walking quickly for five minutes, he arrived at a huge circular plaza.

In the center of the square stands a pyramid-shaped altar that is 100 meters high.

The surface of the altar was as smooth as a mirror, yet one could faintly see countless points of light moving inside.

"This should be it, the entrance to the Trial of the Heart of Ten Thousand Machines." Ye Chuyun stared at the altar.

However, getting close to the altar was not easy.

Ye Chuyun's arrival was like triggering the altar's activation conditions.

Suddenly, clumps of constantly wriggling mud-like substance separated from the ground.

The mud expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into dozens of slime monsters of various shapes.

[Name]: Slime Beast

[Level]: 100

"Guards? They certainly won't let anyone get close easily." Ye Chuyun's eyes turned cold.

He had long anticipated that such an important trial altar would be protected.

Moreover, these slime beasts were of a high level, which is why he assigned Zu Long and his group to lead the various squads.

Given their strength, dealing with these altar guards should be a piece of cake.

Roar!

A humanoid slime beast let out a deep roar and swung a huge iron hammer made of mud.

Other slimes also sprang into action.

Ye Chuyun did not move her feet, her five fingers spread open.

"Disperse."

He uttered a single word, and [Elemental Domination] was activated.

Five-colored light burst forth instantly, and in just one glance, all the rushing slime beasts were annihilated.

However, the shattered slime beasts did not disappear, but instead quickly flowed back into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, an even stronger energy fluctuation came.

The remaining slime beasts seemed to be stimulated, and began to emit low hums, moving closer to each other.

The two slime beasts collided, the mud churned, and instantly merged into a ferocious giant five meters tall with four arms and two heads.

At the same time, his aura surged, reaching the initial stage of the Heavenly Realm.

More slime beasts merged, transforming into a mud pit covering half of the square.

Ye Chuyun was in the mud, her body drooping downwards as if she were about to be sucked into it.

"Interesting." Ye Chuyun raised an eyebrow, having figured out the trick.

These slime beasts are uncrushable because their life source seems to be underground.

There must be some kind of formation hidden underground that can provide the energy needed for the sludge beast to revive.

As long as the underground energy doesn't run out, they can keep regenerating.

Ordinary intruders would simply be worn down and killed if they got bogged down in a war of attrition.

However, since these slime beasts continuously revive by absorbing energy from underground, there must be a medium inside their bodies for absorbing energy.

Ye Chuyun had already seen through this at a glance. It was hidden inside the skull, with a huge crystal core. As long as it wasn't broken, it could continuously absorb energy to provide energy for the slime beast to revive.

"Unfortunately, I don't have time to play this game of attrition with you." Ye Chuyun smiled coldly, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

His goal is to pass the test as soon as possible and obtain the [Hand of Illusion], so he doesn't have time to get bogged down here.

As soon as the killing intent arose, another "Ye Chuyun" appeared out of thin air beside Ye Chuyun, with the exact same aura and expression.

This sudden change caused a moment of confusion in the eyes of the slime beasts.

The illusionary Ye Chuyun took the initiative, her figure transforming into a stream of light and instantly appearing behind the giant slime beast. A flaming longsword materialized in her hand, and she slashed down fiercely.

This grand display attracted the attention of most of the slime beasts.

The real Ye Chuyun merged into the surrounding light and shadow in that instant.

[Minor Teleportation Technique] Activated.

Whoosh!

His true form appeared out of thin air directly above the head of the most powerful mud beast.

Its speed far exceeded the reaction limits of the slime beast.

Ye Chuyun pointed a finger at the head, which contained a terrifying sword intent.

puff!

With a soft sound, the sword light easily pierced the mud beast's head and shattered the yellow crystal core inside.

"Roar!!!"

The crystal core was extremely fragile and was instantly shattered by Ye Chuyun. The mud beast let out a painful howl, and its body turned back into a puddle of mud and merged into the ground.

With its core destroyed, the fusion's regenerative capabilities were completely disrupted.

Ye Chuyun continued her actions, her figure flashing once more as she reaped the lives of the other slime beasts.

In just a dozen breaths, Ye Chuyun killed all the slime beasts in the square, turning them into a lifeless pile of mud.

Now that there are no more threats around the altar, I can start the trial in peace.

Ye Chuyun gently exhaled a breath of stale air, her gaze towards the altar becoming even more solemn.

Even just the outer perimeter guards require Heavenly-level strength and the ability to break through them quickly; one can only imagine the difficulty of the trials inside.

Ye Chuyun didn't think too much about it and walked directly towards the pyramid altar in the center of the square, entering the trial space.

......

Upon entering the trial space, Ye Chuyun found herself suspended in a matrix composed of countless identical cubic spaces.

These cubic spaces are about ten meters on each side and are separated from each other by transparent walls.

Looking around, all you see are these regular cubic grids, both above and below, front and back, left and right.

These grids stretched to the edge of the field of vision, forming a super Rubik's Cube that even Ye Chuyun herself was amazed by.

His location was at the center of one of the cubic spaces.

This space is not empty; some metal blocks and gears float inside.

A voice rang out after entering the trial space.
