Chapter 1178 - 630: The Mechanical Clan’s Information War! Return!
"Boom!"
The world is collapsing.
Everyone is escaping.
In the War Alliance team, Venerable Lie Yang rushed out of the fissure first, leading the charge. Behind him, Venerable Han Yue immediately acted to freeze the twisted spatial folds near the entrance, allowing the disciples of the War Alliance to pass through the fissure more stably.
Beside them, Venerable Duan Yue continuously used the Earth Law to assist Elder Lei in reinforcing the fissure.
On this expedition, they were all familiar with each other, collaborating perfectly with the fastest speed.
Everyone was pushing their speed to the limit, and they all felt the terrifying pressure from the Abyssal Star Vortex outside the fissure.
The huge shadow of the Star Shuttle hovered outside the fissure like a sanctuary.
When the last figure stumbled clumsily into the landing craft, Elder Lei’s face was ashen, and together with Elder Yun and Elder Tie, they simultaneously cut off the output of the Laws.
The unstable portal leading to the Saint Tomb disappeared like a bubble being pierced, with a soft "pop," completely vanishing into the eternal darkness and distortion of the Abyssal Star Vortex, leaving only the violent tidal wave of Laws silently roaring.
They were temporarily safe.
The landing craft returned to the mothership swiftly but with difficulty, under intense tremor and massive gravitational pull.
As the heavy alloy hatch just closed, a suppressed, murderous atmosphere instantly spread.
Inside the hall, the atmosphere was as heavy as congealed blood.
Among the Human Clan exploration team, consisting of nearly forty elite members when they set out, fewer than twenty people were still standing, everyone covered in blood, their breaths weakened, and many needed to support each other to stand.
Yet every person bore a smile, whether deep or shallow, on their face.
Injuries might need a few days to recover, but the opportunities gained were tangible.
Elder Lei, Elder Tie, and Elder Yun all wore somber expressions, their sharp gazes sweeping over everyone, especially Jiang Shu, who Zhan Yun had laid flat on a hastily spread out emergency mat.
Jiang Shu’s condition was not optimistic.
Though his mind was still clear, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if enduring immense pain.
"The Mechanical Clan’s attack is poisonous!"
Venerable Han Yue was the first to react, immediately stepping forward and carefully inspecting Jiang Shu’s gruesome wound, instantly seeing the electric arcs spreading over the wound.
She gathered moonlight-like crystalline power at her fingertips and applied it to the wound, trying to freeze the corrosive forces.
As soon as the frost touched the wound, the eerie blue electric light suddenly burst forth, counter-corroding the moonlight power, emitting a "sizzle" sound of corrosion.
Venerable Han Yue grunted, her fingertip’s frost instantly dimmed, a sharp pain spreading along her meridians, as the poisonous Law could counterattack.
"Such a sinister tactic, with strong deciphering and anti-Law characteristics, it’s a Venerable Level poison!"
Venerable Han Yue’s face turned paler, quickly withdrawing her fingers, as the moonlight power circulated within her, dispelling the cold corrosion. She looked at the other two venerables,
"This is beyond our capability to solve. Elder Lei must first suppress the poison, and we must return to the alliance to ask the Vice Alliance Hierarch or even the Supreme Elder to intervene for detoxification!"
Although Venerable Han Yue wasn’t specifically a healer, she had some knowledge, immediately recognizing that this was beyond her handling ability.
"It must be a new toxin. The Mechanical Clan has made advancements in recent years."
Elder Lei was considered knowledgeable among the venerables, but even he had limited understanding of the Mechanical Clan.
Not to mention the newest toxins.
"Things that can poison venerables are extremely rare worldwide, yet the Mechanical Clan has developed such a substance."
"Quickly, have someone come to check."
"Zhan Feng, tell me what really happened inside."
Elder Lei held a high position in the War Alliance, senior even to Zhan Jiuxiao by a generation, being the leader of the team at this critical moment.
Buzz!
The landing craft suddenly shook, successfully docking with the main body of the Human Clan’s mothership.
The hatch opened, and medical cultivators waiting outside immediately rushed in with advanced life-sustaining pods.
"All wounded enter the medical area immediately!"
"The rest stay where you are, do not move without permission!"
Elder Lei’s voice carried a steely resolve, indisputable.
He personally commanded, his sharp eyes sweeping the room, instantly suppressing all commotion and discussion.
Several medical cultivators carefully lifted the extremely weak Jiang Shu and placed him into a life-sustaining pod glowing with runic brilliance, quickly wheeling him away.
Though Zhan Feng had fought a large battle similarly, he was unharmed under Elder Duan Yue’s protection, and he recounted everything that happened.
"The Saint lecturing?!"
Even Elder Lei, despite his temperament, was taken aback, unsure whether to feel envy or something else.
He was just a step away from the Saint Realm. If he could listen to the Saint’s lecture on-site, perhaps this lifetime he would have the chance to advance further.
"Indeed, but Elder, I couldn’t shake a feeling of unease."
Zhan Feng thought for a moment before speaking,
"It was too fast, almost as if that Saint purposely left so many things to draw us in."
That’s exactly what it felt like.
Opportunities always come with dangers.
Indeed, a predecessor on the brink of death left behind their inheritance, but inside this inheritance, there might be indescribable dangers as well.
Even ordinary venerable inheritances are like this.
Let alone a Saint Level inheritance.
But this time was different from other inheritance explorations.
This group of people seemed to possess the treasure’s key, taking whatever they wanted and quickly leaving behind.
