Chapter 3265: The Remodeled New World
The armies of the Immortal and Demon Worlds prepared for battle, and the border between the two worlds became their temporary command center.
Both sides temporarily signed a cease-fire contract, so the object of their guard also changed from each other to an unknown third party.
According to the information obtained, space rifts suddenly appeared near both the Holy Heart Palace and the Demon God Temple. An unknown force emerged from the rifts and forcefully swept aside all obstructers before ultimately occupying the Holy Heart Palace and the Demon God Temple.
Simultaneous fall of the highest powers of the Immortal and Demon Worlds left the Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor helpless, only able to watch as events unfolded.
Lin Chen and the others didn't have to wait long before the situation at Holy Heart Palace was thoroughly investigated.
True Person Tai Xu, who went to reconnoiter Holy Heart Palace, used his formidable strength and unique space supernatural abilities to stealthily approach Holy Heart Palace, surveyed the current situation, and even recorded video evidence.
After True Person Tai Xu's return, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch immediately convened a meeting with all senior management and played the footage from the Image Recording Stone in front of everyone.
As the Vice Corps Commander, Lin Chen was qualified to attend the meeting, and he was stunned by the images presented by the Image Recording Stone.
Lin Chen had never visited the Holy Heart Palace, but he knew it was suspended above the Sky Dome; however, at this moment, the Holy Heart Palace had already fallen to Eagle Plateau, shattered into many pieces.
At the very center of Holy Heart Palace, a huge purple Crystal Column plunged deep into the ground. This column was so large that it directly shattered most of the Holy Heart Palace, boring into the earth, leaving no trace.
What was even more terrifying was that the purple Crystal Column stood between Heaven and Earth, like a Pillar Holding Up the Sky. Below the purple Crystal Column, the original glittering palaces had completely changed in appearance, now covered by a layer of black clay-like material, dark and uneven, ugly and eerie.
This black clay-like substance not only covered the original architecture of the Holy Heart Palace but also extended indefinitely outward, enveloping all the surrounding ground. Moreover, countless purple crystals grew from this black ground like swords piercing the heavens.
Due to its high altitude, Eagle Plateau was perennially buried in Snow, entirely white in color, but now not a speck of white could be seen, only an expanse of black and purple.
Within this black realm, numerous humanoid monsters lay on the ground, their purple crystals stabbing into the black mire, motionless like statues, creating an extremely eerie scene.
The camera quickly zoomed out, showing endless black extending far into the distance, the entire landscape cloaked in black, studded with uneven purple crystals of varying lengths.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chen couldn't help but inhale sharply; it was far too exaggerated.
Not only was the Holy Heart Palace destroyed, but it was also being transformed by this unknown force!
Although he didn't understand this race, from the images in front of him, it was clear that they were remaking this world, aiming to transform it into a place suitable for their survival.
The towering purple crystal column that dominated the vast expanse of Heaven and Earth must be something crucial to the core of their race, seemingly inextricable from altering the terrain and transforming the world.
The black ground was swarmed by innumerable humanoid lives, a sight so overwhelming that it made one's scalp tingle just by looking.
One million?
Ten million?
Or perhaps, 100 million?
Too many, too many to even begin estimating!
The image continued to zoom out, but suddenly, the scene changed. Massive figures burst forth from the black ground into the sky, causing the image to abruptly end there.
True Person Tai Xu, after everyone had watched the recorded Shadow Image, said, "What discovered me was a colossal Crystal Life composed entirely of countless crystals, lacking flesh and blood, and also devoid of the black clay found on other life forms, made up purely of purple crystals."
"My mission was reconnaissance, so I chose to retreat immediately, leaving through space before it could approach me. Even without it getting close, the terrifying fluctuations from its body already alarmed me greatly; I was worried that if we were to clash, I wouldn't have another chance to escape."
Everyone was deeply shocked. True Person Tai Xu, being one of the top in strength among the Quasi-Saints of the Immortal Realm and possessing strong spatial crossing ability, did not dare to fight that unknown Crystal Life.
Seven-colored Immortal Monarch spoke up, "Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo once mentioned that when the Demon God Temple was overrun, purple crystal columns fell from the sky, directly shattering the triple barriers of the Demon God Temple and most of the Demon God Temple's powerhouses who hadn't escaped yet. Now, considering this scene, it's likely that what happened to the Holy Heart Palace and the Demon God Temple was the same."
Saint of Thieves Sun Yixiao asked, "What kind of monsters are these things, to not be creatures of flesh and blood? Where do their abilities come from? Do they come from those purple crystals? The more purple crystals on their bodies, the stronger and higher their status?"
Shepherd Heavenly Monarch nodded, "We do not know where they come from, but we have found some Heavenly Soldiers who escaped from the Holy Heart Palace. They have fought these Crystal Lives and provided relevant information."
"The lowest level of these purple crystal beings are those made up of black clay bodies with limbs made of crystals, whose combat power is roughly equivalent to our common immortals. Those whose bodies are composed of crystals possess combat power comparable to our Daluo Immortals. As True Person Tai Xu just mentioned, those completely formed from crystals without a trace of clay, pure Crystal Lives, have combat power that can match our Quasi-Saints."
"Their way of fighting is quite simple; the limbs constructed of purple crystals serve as their weapons. Purple crystals are exceedingly hard, the higher the level, the more indestructible they are, and thus their attack power is stronger."
"When our Magical Treasures attack them, the powerful energy is devoured by some strange ability they possess. But if our attack strength exceeds their absorption limit, their bodies cannot withstand and will directly shatter."
"The Heavenly Soldiers didn't fight for long, although they killed a great number of lower-level Crystal Lives, there were simply too many to eliminate."
"Oh, right, during the battle, soldiers hit by their attacks would have light resembling purple electricity swarm into their bodies, and then the soldiers' bodies would rapidly decay, growing a black substance like clay on their bodies, and swiftly losing their lives, entirely enveloped in clay."
"If the Primordial Spirit managed to escape immediately, there was a chance of survival. But if the escape of the Primordial Spirit was slow, it would be sealed by the black clay and could no longer flee. As for whether the Primordial Spirit is trapped or perishes, no one knows for now…"
