NOVEL WEB Chapter 632: Altar, Golden Figure?_2
On the expansive plaza, a massive stele stood erect, and inscribed upon it were grand words: "Palace of Heaven and Earth."
Both Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao froze in stunned silence; they hadn't expected the golden figure to come here.
The two felt a surge of curiosity, eager to see what kind of treasures or opportunities lay hidden within this Palace of Heaven and Earth.
Thus, they cautiously stepped forward and entered.
...
Inside the Palace of Heaven and Earth.
A vast and enigmatic space unfurled before Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao.
The space was permeated with dense Spiritual Energy, resembling a true Immortal Realm.
Both Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao felt a wave of joyous surprise; they knew this must be the most precious area within the ruins, where treasures and rare opportunities resided.
Thus, they began searching through this space for their fated treasures and opportunities.
...
Day by day, time passed.
Within this mystical space, Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao acquired many invaluable treasures and opportunities, greatly enhancing their strength.
They felt satisfied and gratified, knowing this venture into the ruins was undoubtedly the right decision.
However, just as they were preparing to leave, suddenly, the entire Palace of Heaven and Earth began to tremble violently.
Their expressions changed drastically, uncertain of what was happening.
Soon after, a powerful suction force emanated from the depths of the palace, pulling the two uncontrollably toward an unknown direction.
Panicked and helpless, they found themselves incapable of resisting the suction force, watching in horror as they were dragged toward the unknown.
Amid fright and despair, they were sucked into a black hole, and their vision darkened as consciousness slipped away.
...
When Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao regained consciousness, they realized they were now in a strange and unfamiliar place.
They found themselves in a boundless desolate wilderness, where a blood-red sun hung ominously in the sky, casting an eerie light.
Their faces were filled with bewilderment; they couldn't fathom where they had ended up.
Rising to their feet, they scanned their surroundings, discovering that apart from themselves, there was no one else in sight.
Moreover, not a single living creature roamed this bleak land, making the scene extraordinarily chilling and desolate.
"W-What is this place?"
Luo Yao asked fearfully, staring around.
"I don't know either, but it's certainly not the ruins we were in earlier," Ye Yunfei replied with a furrowed brow.
Unease and confusion gripped them both, as neither had a clue about their next steps.
At that moment, a strange sound suddenly reached their ears, echoing from deep within the desolate land.
The sound was low and eerie, as though something was beckoning them.
Their complexions paled, yet they cautiously started moving in the direction of the sound.
...
As they moved closer, the strange sound grew increasingly distinct.
To their astonishment, the sound seemed to originate from an enormous and unfathomably deep pit.
The pit extended so far down that its depth defied comprehension, radiating a chilling, otherworldly aura.
Both Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao felt their hearts race with unease, yet an inexplicable pull urged them toward the pit.
They approached its edge, carefully leaning forward to peer into its depths.
What they saw shocked them into silence.
At the bottom of the pit lay a colossal altar adorned with an array of treasures and Spiritual Medicine that gleamed brilliantly.
And at the center of the altar rested a massive golden figure—the same golden figure they had encountered earlier in the ruins.
The golden figure lay motionless, seemingly in deep slumber.
Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao stared in stunned confusion, taken aback by its appearance in this place.
They understood this golden figure to be the mightiest treasure of the ruins, but why had it ended up here?
Furthermore, how were so many treasures and Spiritual Medicine amassed in this pit?
The mystery and allure deepened, filling them with curiosity.
Carefully and deliberately, they jumped down into the pit and made their way toward the altar.
...
As they arrived at the altar, they were left awestruck by the sight before them.
The altar glittered with treasures and Spiritual Medicine, each item rare and invaluable, almost too dazzling to behold.
At the center, the golden figure lay silently, emanating radiant golden light, resembling a true deity.
A deep sense of foreboding and reverence washed over them as they cautiously approached the golden figure.
To their dismay, they noticed a massive wound on its chest, from which fresh blood continued to seep.
The sight of the injury filled them with sorrow and fury.
They understood that the golden figure had suffered grave harm, leaving it immobilized in the pit, unable to escape.
Finally, it dawned on them that they had found the golden figure and their ultimate purpose for entering the ruins.
Determinedly, they began collecting all the treasures and Spiritual Medicine scattered across the altar.
Each of these items was precious beyond measure, representing an immeasurable fortune for them.
Having secured the treasures and medicine, they turned their attention to treating the golden figure's wounds.
Realizing that saving this figure—the most powerful being in the ruins—could yield unimaginable benefits, they poured their utmost effort into healing its injuries.
...
Day by day, time passed.
Through their relentless care, the golden figure's wounds gradually began to heal.
The gash slowly closed, and its golden radiance grew brighter with each passing day.
Both Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao were brimming with joy and excitement, sensing the culmination of their arduous efforts.
Just then, a terrifying pressure descended from above, enveloping the entire pit.
Their faces blanched as they looked skyward, only to see a massive black figure hurtling toward them.
The black figure radiated an oppressive aura, seemingly capable of swallowing the heavens and earth.
Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao were overcome by despair, recognizing the figure as their mortal enemy—the greatest threat encountered in these ruins.
Already gravely wounded, they knew they stood no chance against an attack from this monstrous entity.
Yet, at that critical moment, the golden figure suddenly opened its eyes and, with a swift movement, unleashed a wave of golden energy that streaked like lightning toward the black figure.
With a deafening roar, the golden energy clashed violently with the black energy in midair, erupting into a breathtaking explosion of luminance.
The collision sent the black figure hurtling backward, disappearing into the distant horizon.
Witnessing this, Ye Yunfei and Luo Yao felt an overwhelming sense of awe and exhilaration.
They hadn't anticipated the golden figure's immense power, capable of defeating such a terrifying foe with a mere gesture.
Hurriedly, they approached the golden figure and cautiously asked, "You... Are you alright?"
