Chapter 586: Chapter 355: Decoration, Junior General, Plan, Demon Star
In the depths of this Ancient Battlefield, remnants of floating continents and space rifts are everywhere. These rifts lead to unknown places, filled with Spirit Monsters densely packed inside, while the rare law monsters are exceedingly common deep within.
In the center of Fallen Star Island, a fallen star shattered a billion-kilometer-wide area, even distorting the underlying rules.
The fragmented earth floats in the air and does not fall; the sprayed lava rises like columns and lingers for ages.
Billions of tons of water converge into a sphere over ten thousand kilometers in diameter, suspended in the air like a planet, numerous fragments of earth float on the surface like floating islands, containing complete ecosystems.
Unfortunately, this Ancient Battlefield has been scoured countless times by the masters of the four races. The outside has been plundered clean, leaving no good items, with anything valuable only found behind the densely packed space rifts in the fragments of Grotto Heaven.
But there are too many fragments; even an Immortal could not possibly explore them all. If there are treasures left in the Ancient Battlefield, they can only be inside certain space rifts or at the central Fallen Demon Pit, where the demon star fell.
Yes, the local cultivators call the star that shattered the Fallen Star Island into countless pieces the Demon Star.
Su Yu did not spend time searching inside the space rifts but headed straight for the center of the Ancient Battlefield, taking nearly a month to traverse the complex terrain of the battlefield, arriving before a twisted barrier formed by countless fragments of space and distorted laws. Ahead lay an area where the underlying rules are completely distorted, with a star of unknown magnitude buried deep in the earth.
This is an extremely complete star, its size unknown, estimated to be over a million kilometers in diameter.
The star’s surface is incredibly rough, filled with pits and craters of varying sizes. The surface is shrouded in a violent ancient star aura, mixing with the distorted underlying rules to form enormous twisted vortices, from which twisted law monsters continuously emerge, charging headlong in all directions, crashing into the twisted barrier.
These twisted law monsters are of a very high level, at least level 200 and above, occasionally seeing those surpassing level 300.
Regardless of the level, none of the twisted law monsters can break through this layer of twisted barrier; they all explode violently upon impact, with the immense power released continuously shaking the twisted barrier.
"So, is this barrier limiting the leakage of the Demon Star’s power?"
Su Yu placed his hand on the twisted barrier, yet couldn’t feel the presence of this layer of twisted barrier.
"Only effective against the twisted monsters derived from the Demon Star?"
He didn’t rush into the twisted barrier but moved around it, observing the Demon Star from different angles.
He circled from left to right, then passed over the top, completing a large circle down to the bottom.
Though this Demon Star had plunged underground, it was still suspended, with the bottom hollow rather than imagined to be embedded into the earth.
It took him three days just to roughly inspect this large circle from the outside, finding nothing unusual.
On the Demon Star, he also found nothing special. Although the star surface was riddled with countless pits, all could be seen through to the bottom, with no caves or cracks leading to the star’s interior, and the star’s bottom revealed no so-called Star Palace ruins, and nowhere near were there space rifts.
But the thick ancient star aura undeniably escaped from the Demon Star, combining with the twisted underlying rules to form twisted law monsters.
Su Yu pondered for a moment, then placed his hand on the barrier and silently melded into it.
As he crossed the barrier, he felt a violently powerful divine will rush into his mind. Madness, distortion, slaughter, fury, death, fear, destruction—these negative law essences flooded through his sea of consciousness like a torrent.
This law essence was so powerful that, despite his Immortal will and immunity of being Immune to All Skill, he could feel its tremendous strength surpassing the limits of mortals, reaching the level of a Celestial Immortal.
If a cultivator below the level of an Immortal crossed the barrier, they might not last three seconds before being overwhelmed by the madly twisting law essence.
The soul would disperse and perish.
Su Yu could clearly sense that this was not the limit; the closer he got to the Demon Star, the stronger the terrifying law essence mixed with divine will would impact.
At the moment Su Yu entered the barrier, the numerous twisted law monsters spawned in the vortices around the Demon Star all turned to look at him and lunged at him under some unknown will’s command.
Su Yu snapped his fingers, and a ring of fire appeared around him. Many twisted law monsters charged into the ring of fire and burst into flames with a "boom!" explosion.
Once difficult-to-handle law monsters are now minor enemies he can easily eliminate with a flick.
Of course, due to the significant level difference, no experience is gained regardless of how many he slays.
In fact, once players become Immortals, they can no longer level up by monster farming, relying only on consuming Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and elixirs to enhance cultivation, or absorbing Spiritual Qi from Spirit Veins for cultivation.
At this stage, the speed of cultivation increases will be polarized.
Celestial Immortals without enough resources and luck can only earn money while enhancing cultivation, taking years to advance one level is normal, and raising the level to 399 within a thousand years is considered very fast.
Conversely, if one possesses a sufficient amount of resources, the speed of cultivation increase can be swift, with many reaching level 399 in just several dozen to a hundred years.
