Chapter 476 Breaking through the sky
It didn't take Xu Yue too much time to deal with Yuan Yang. After discovering that the other party was trying to escape, he lost interest and quickly finished him off.
So when Fei Lian realized that the battle was over and stepped into the ruins of the cave full of pits and rubble, the first thing he saw was the miserable ape corpse with its neck violently broken.
Even though he had expected it, when he saw Yuan Yang's death with his own eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. Not only was this guy so good at long-range combat, he was also so exaggerated in close combat...
However, considering the unknown bloodline in the other party that is suspected to come from the witch clan, it is reasonable for him to have such a physique.
After all, the most powerful thing about the witch in the legend is his unparalleled physique and his innate magical powers that are comparable to plucking stars and the moon.
After a moment of silence, Fei Lian retracted his gaze from the giant ape's corpse and looked at Xu Yue, who had returned to his normal size not far away, and asked:
"Do you want to continue hunting? The core of the formation will change its position every twelve hours. We don't have much time left."
"No, there is no prey in this area."
After saying that, Xu Yue found a relatively clean open space and began to sit cross-legged in meditation. Hunting these fellow prisoners was just an appetizer. Once he entered the core of the formation, that would be the beginning of the real feast.
As the core of the survival of the entire cave, he didn't believe that the tiger tribe would be completely defenseless, so before going to the core, he needed to restore all his status as much as possible.
More than ten minutes later, with the dual blessings of meditation and the Radiance of Life, Xu Yue's health and mana were both replenished, so he began to consume his mana to summon the Cang Wolf.
A few minutes later, there was a sudden sound of muffled footsteps outside the silent cave. Before anyone arrived, a strong smell of blood had already filled the cave. Then a figure in scarlet armor walked in, each holding a pale mummy on the left and right. They were the Red Prison Armor that had returned from hunting.
When it entered the cave, it first piled the goblin corpse, from which it had drained all its blood, casually next to the ape corpse. Then it stood quietly beside Xu Yue, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in the corner. The blood-red eyes on its mask gradually dimmed, and it looked like an ordinary armored statue.
As for the cat demon not far away, Chi Yu never even glanced at it from beginning to end. Although the blood in the demon's body seemed quite sweet, there was no need to pay attention to prey that could not be eaten.
"Humans are also within the hunting range. It really is... treated equally."
On the other side of the cave, Fei Lian's tone was a little puzzling as she looked at the pale corpse that was obviously a human being not far away. She was now extremely grateful that she had taken the initiative to reach a cooperation with this big man. Although there was a bomb in her stomach that could explode at any time, it was better than becoming one of the corpses.
Not long after, another strange change occurred at the entrance of the cave. A dark red flame spread and invaded. Within the flame were five giant wolf skeletons lined up in an orderly manner. The two giant wolves at the front of the team were each carrying a large goblin corpse. Looking closely, they should be a fox and a leopard. The injuries on their bodies were different, but the same thing was that their heads were all gone, leaving only a charred neck section.
As for the last one in the team, it was a strange creature that looked like a tiger, but had goat horns on its head. Its pair of carbon-red eyes were extremely eye-catching, and its invisible murderous aura was rampant with every step it took, as if it could pounce and kill at any time.
When their eyes met, Fei Lian couldn't help but take a step back. The greed in the other person's eyes was almost undisguised, always giving people a strong feeling of threat that they would be swallowed up in the next second.
"Is this... Taotie?! No, the body seems to be some kind of cat-like creature, so it must be a soul..."
There was a yellow and green glow in his eyes, but thinking of the previous lesson, even though he was curious, Fei Lian still forcibly suppressed the urge to continue peeking and quickly looked away.
On the other side, Xu Yue, who was still meditating with his eyes closed in the corner, noticed the return of Taotie and the hellhound, and immediately opened his eyes. The moment he stood up, a large piece of purple fire burned fiercely on the pile of corpses that looked like a small mountain.
The flames were raging, and soon the five corpses turned into black ashes one by one and drifted away. Then, the enchanting fire that almost filled up half of the cave was transformed into dark red hellfire under Xu Yue's control, and quickly pounced on several giant blue wolves that had been prepared not far away.
Suppressed roars continued to spread, and as the flames spread, only withered flesh and bones could be seen. Dancing dark red soul fires also lit up one after another from the empty wolfhounds' eye sockets. By the time the roars subsided, the original five hellhounds had expanded to twelve.
Although the auras were connected and had not yet reached the point of activating the Death Tide, the strange undead aura that was a mixture of cold and burning still spread to the entire cave, making people feel daunted.
Standing in the front row of the wolf pack, with Chiyu and Taotie on both sides, under the reflection of the large dark red flame, Xu Yue glanced at Fei Lian not far away and said lightly:
"Let's go, take me to see the so-called core of the formation."
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people filed out. The sound of their running footsteps gradually faded away at a very fast speed until they could no longer be heard.
More than ten minutes later, after a winding and rugged journey, Xu Yue and his party finally stopped in an extremely spacious cave hall.
Looking around, the whole hall is in the shape of an irregular oval, covering an area of more than a thousand meters. The rock walls are rugged all around, with occasional connecting corridors. Above the head, there are dense stalagmites and hanging stalactites, like a vast inverted stone forest. There are large amounts of mosses, minerals and other materials emitting faint light clinging to it, and the scattered light makes the originally dim and dark cave look exceptionally magnificent and distant.
Xu Yue's group numbered nearly twenty people and animals, but inside this hall, looking down from above, they looked as small as a group of ants.
Even though he had seen the magnificent caves built by countless mutated ant colonies on the mysterious island, when Xu Yue looked up at the inverted stone forest that was a work of nature, he couldn't help but be shocked. The former was man-made, but this place must have been created by heaven and earth and formed naturally.
“Is this the core?”
Upon hearing this, Fei Lian in the front right had a bright light in his eyes. After looking around, he locked onto a certain void in the center of the hall.
"This is just the actual location of the core. The Tiger Tribe would not have placed it in such a conspicuous place. Otherwise, we prisoners would have broken through it long ago."
"The true core of the formation is a relatively independent hidden space. It is attached to the entire cave and flows continuously. Only this special spatial characteristic can seal the cave for hundreds of years."
Xu Yue had not had much contact with the space system, which was an absolutely advanced system. However, when he combined the Blade Magic Mirror, the equipment gave him feedback on a special feature called "space affinity".
Therefore, after careful perception, he could indeed vaguely sense that there was something strange in the void that Fei Lian was staring at, but that was all. He still had no idea how to enter that space.
Of course, it doesn’t matter that he has no idea about this. Since Fei Lian dared to bring him here on his own initiative, he must have a specific method to enter the core of the formation.
"Go on, since it's an independent space, how do we open it?"
"It's not difficult to open it. I happen to have a magical weapon with the ability to break through the air. As long as I can lock the position, I can cut through that layer of space barrier. The real trouble is what happens after the cut..."
exactly……
Xu Yue glanced at the silver dagger that Fei Lian took out with a deep look in his eyes, but did not ask any more questions. Instead, he continued to listen quietly. No matter what was hidden behind this cat demon, at least they had the same goal in destroying the core of the formation.
"On the one hand, the core of the formation is to maintain the existence of the entire blockade formation, and on the other hand, it is also to absorb the large amount of evil spirits produced in this cave, thereby nurturing a special spirit environment that is most conducive to the birth of Qiongqi." "Hundreds of years of accumulation have made the scale of the spirits in the core almost inestimable. So after breaking through the space barrier, the first thing to face is the gushing mass of evil spirits. Under that level of impact, all the goblins below the fairy level can be directly corroded into monsters with only the desire to kill in their minds in an instant. I am no exception. So even though I discovered the core of the formation a long time ago, I didn't dare to take action rashly until now."
"But you are different. The flames with the characteristics of the sun are rare and can directly burn out the existence of that kind of evil spirit. Although I dare not say that you are completely unaffected, as long as you prepare in advance, at least protecting yourself under the impact is not a problem."
After saying that, Fei Lian handed the silver dagger in his hand directly to Xu Yue, his yellow and green pupils full of sincerity.

…………
After checking the detailed information of the dagger, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. The light gold quality of the item was indeed beyond his expectations. You know, the looted items he had were only of the same quality.
However, anything involving the regular force of time and space is of at least dark purple or above in quality, and judging from Pokong's introduction, the value of this dagger is fully worthy of the evaluation of light gold.
He even suspected that as long as he could reach the edge of the formation, even without destroying the core, he would be able to use it to draw a boundary and escape successfully.
After taking a deep look at Fei Lian who looked respectful in front of him, Xu Yue curled the corners of his mouth slightly, then took the dagger from her hand without hesitation and said lightly.
"What happens after you cut through the barrier? You probably know more than this, right? Keep going."
Their eyes met, Fei Lian gave a dry laugh, but there was a hint of guilt between his brows.
"Well, the Tiger Tribe has two immortals in the open. One of them is said to be on his deathbed. Given the importance of the Qiongqi Cave, the other one will most likely stay in the core for a long time. This means that after we open the barrier, we will most likely face an immortal, and he will be the one in charge of the battle."
“In addition, the destruction of the core boundary will inevitably cause changes in the entire cave formation. When the tiger tribe outside the cave notices the abnormality, they will definitely not remain indifferent. So we must move quickly and destroy the formation center in the core as quickly as possible, and then evacuate immediately. As for that immortal-level existence…”
Speaking of fairies, Fei Lian's expression became noticeably solemn. Becoming a fairy and becoming a god is the highest pursuit of all fairies, and it represents a leap in the essence of life. In a sense, after a fairy leaps to become an immortal, he has become a completely different species.
It is for this reason that the Tiger Clan built this Qiongqi Cave at all costs. The divine beast is a creature that not only has combat power and growth potential far superior to its peers, but also has no bottleneck before being deified. It can be said that it becomes an immortal when it reaches adulthood. As long as they can successfully give birth to Qiongqi and train it to become an immortal, it will at least protect the Tiger Clan for thousands of years.
Since there are also immortals in the Moon Cat Clan, Fei Lian is well aware of the terrifying nature of such existence. Even though she has witnessed Xu Yue's powerful fighting ability, she still does not think that the other party can defeat or even kill an immortal head-on.
"Although the immortals are strong, we don't need to fight them head-on. With this group of nearly immortal undead wolves here, we only need to find an opportunity to destroy the center of the formation, and then flee the cave under the cover of the wolves."
After listening quietly to Fei Lian's battle plan, Xu Yue did not comment. He tossed the silver dagger in his hand, and a burning fighting spirit surged in his eyes.
Escape? What a joke, if there really is a fairy-level tiger in the core, it can almost be said to be the best alchemy stone, which can quickly verify what level of strength he is at in this world.
Immortals are only the second-tier combat power in the world of Lanxi Town. If Xu Yue cannot even match this level, then the subsequent awakening mission can basically be declared a failure.
"We will discuss the escape after we are sure we are defeated. Do you have any detailed information about the tiger immortal who may be in the core?"
Fei Lian thought for a moment, then shook his head decisively.
"When it comes to the immortal level, what I know is very limited. There are less than 20 immortals in Wanli Mansen, and most of the information is kept secret. In fact, it is just my guess that there are immortals guarding the core. If I'm lucky, there may only be a few goblins below the immortal level. After all, guarding the core is definitely a tough job."
"However... the tiger tribe is best at the two attributes of gold and earth in the spirit control system, as well as the special abilities of the mind system. This part of the information should be of some reference."
"That's enough, back off."
After he finished speaking, Fei Lian beside him ran quickly behind Xu Yue without any hesitation.
At the front of the team, Xu Yue raised the dagger in his hand, with the blade pointing directly at the void in front of him. At the same time, large pieces of pure sun flames began to burn around him, forming an oval flame shield that was golden red inside and blazing white outside.
As mana continued to flow in, the silver-white blade of the dagger gradually began to glow, and even Xu Yue's pupils began to light up with a faint blue light.
Faintly, the void in front of him seemed to turn into a blurry frosted glass. When he stared at it, he could even see the surging blood-red waves behind the glass.
呲－
He stretched his wrist forward, and then there was a slight sound similar to cloth tearing. The invisible void in front of Xu Yue seemed to turn into a solid entity and was deeply penetrated by the dagger in his hand. There was an obvious black crack under the handle, and wisps of blood mist were constantly overflowing from the edge.
Seeing this, Xu Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, then he suddenly pulled down his arm holding the knife. With a long "whoosh" sound, a huge crack of nearly two meters was cut open. The edge of the crack was as black as ink, but the inside was scarlet. Then the originally still scarlet suddenly turned into a mighty bloody tide, rushing out like a dam releasing flood water.
So in just a short moment, Xu Yue's eyes were completely covered by the almost endless blood. Looking from a distance, he saw the overwhelming sticky fog gushing out from the crack in the center of the hall, and in an instant it formed a fan-shaped sea of blood fog, which swallowed up Xu Yue and others on the spot while continuing to spread outwards.
After accumulating for hundreds of years, the amount of evil spirits in the core space has already become immeasurable. If it were fully released, it would even fill up the entire cave. What is pouring out now is just a drop in the bucket, but even so, its momentum is equally huge.
Inside the blood-red fog sea, mighty waves continued to surge out, but a golden-red dome composed of blazing flames stood firm like a reef under the impact of the waves. Although it swayed slightly, it was always able to evaporate the surging blood-red fog.
Under the circular cover, Xu Yue and Fei Lian were tightly wrapped in flames, and Taotie and Chiyu had already been taken back into Xu Yue's body in order to reduce the protection area. As for the hell wolves further behind the team, as undead, these evil spirits could not be said to have no effect on their erosion, but it could be said that they were adding fuel to the fire. At least the hellfire lingering around the wolves was becoming more and more intense at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“It’s really magnificent…”
Fei Lian's somewhat ethereal sighing voice rang out from behind. Hearing this, Xu Yue, who was at the front of the team, slowly withdrew his gaze upwards and turned to look at the dark crack in front of him that was being continuously expanded by the waves. He said lightly:
"Let's go, hurry up."
(End of this chapter)
It didn't take Xu Yue too much time to deal with Yuan Yang. After discovering that the other party was trying to escape, he lost interest and quickly finished him off.
So when Fei Lian realized that the battle was over and stepped into the ruins of the cave full of pits and rubble, the first thing he saw was the miserable ape corpse with its neck violently broken.

Inside the blood-red fog sea, mighty waves continued to surge out, but a golden-red dome composed of blazing flames stood firm like a reef under the impact of the waves. Although it swayed slightly, it was always able to evaporate the surging blood-red fog.
Under the circular cover, Xu Yue and Fei Lian were tightly wrapped in flames, and Taotie and Chiyu had already been taken back into Xu Yue's body in order to reduce the protection area. As for the hell wolves further behind the team, as undead, these evil spirits could not be said to have no effect on their erosion, but it could be said that they were adding fuel to the fire. At least the hellfire lingering around the wolves was becoming more and more intense at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“It’s really magnificent…”
Fei Lian's somewhat ethereal sighing voice rang out from behind. Hearing this, Xu Yue, who was at the front of the team, slowly withdrew his gaze upwards and turned to look at the dark crack in front of him that was being continuously expanded by the waves. He said lightly:
"Let's go, hurry up."
