Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Beneath the Meteorite Crater, Mysterious Human Face, Star Palace
Through observation, Ye Feng found the clue.
“The skeletons of these demonic beasts are all missing some parts. If pieced together, it seems they could form a human skeleton about ten meters tall, which is exactly the Bone Demon Empress, right?”
Ye Feng suddenly understood.
It turned out that the Bone Demon Empress was an aberrant creature formed from the essence of bones belonging to many Demon Emperors and Demon King level powerhouses.
However, Ye Feng was not interested in the origin of the Bone Demon Empress.
What concerned him more was the location of the main cave dwelling.
Without a cave dwelling, where would the treasures come from?
“Eh, it’s here!”
Soon, Ye Feng discovered a hard crystal in the center of the meteorite crater, seeming to have been formed by the high temperatures from the meteorite’s impact, solid in texture and also a precious refining material.
When Ye Feng picked up the crystal, he found that the silver-white Demon Core in his hand began to tremble, as if attracted to something.
Whoosh!
The silver-white Demon Core rapidly sank into the ground.
Ye Feng was not startled.
He remained calm and composed, using a wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy to envelop himself and dove into the ground right after the core.
Several dozen miles underground.
There was a huge hollow area.
Many meteorites, the size of fists, adorned the high heavens, forming a sea of stars, circling a three-story bone palace floating in suspension.
“Who are you?”
“Where is the Bone Demon Empress?”
From inside the palace, a voice full of astonishment came through.
“The Bone Demon Empress? She got squashed under my foot,” Ye Feng said, “Are you the Artifact Spirit born from this palace? No, I’ve found you!”
Ye Feng leaped up, plucking the floating silver-white Demon Core from mid-air and stowing it in the System Space.
Then, he forcefully shattered a shield and entered the main hall. By the throne, a plant made up of countless bone shards had grown.
It was rooted in the palace, surrounded by piles of various treasures.
It had an aura similar to that of the Bone Demon Empress, but it was even more ancient, although its strength wasn’t high, giving only the sensation of facing a peak Spirit Sea Realm.
“You… you actually killed her?”
The strange bone plant trembled.
That was the strong right-hand being it had created and nurtured, with its cultivation level reaching the peak of Lower Rank Demon Emperor, possessing immense strength.
Yet, such a powerful being was squashed under the foot of the young man before it, which was utterly inconceivable.
“Don’t kill me!”
Out of fear of being slapped dead by Ye Feng, the bizarre bone plant’s desire to live surged, “As long as you spare my life, I’m willing to tell you any information you want.”
“Hmm?” Ye Feng paused.
He hadn’t even made a threat, and yet, the other party had already caved.
Such a strong will to survive!
Ye Feng shook his head and said, “To prevent any sneak attacks, I’ve decided to flatten you first.”
This odd plant was in cahoots with the Bone Demon Empress, certainly not something good. It was best to kill it.
Ye Feng raised his hand, and Heroic Spirit Power burst forth, transforming into a golden palm print that hit out, its momentum heavy as a towering mountain.
With a crackling sound,
The bone plant crumbled apart.
However, in mid-air, a ghastly human face appeared, roaring, “You’ve broken the shell that took me so long to condense, damn it! In that case, I will take possession of your body!”
The ghastly human face burned with flames as it lunged over.
Ye Feng flicked his finger.
A wisp of Wind Element Spirit Energy flew out, turning into a ball of fire, burning the strange human face into ashes.
“Ah…”
A shrill scream echoed through the palace.
Following that, Ye Feng saw many scenes where the ghastly human face had disappeared.
It was the latter half of the life of the ghastly human face.
It originated from beyond the heavens, was originally a Demon Emperor in the Divine Origin Realm, but was seriously injured by a formidable enemy and forced to arrive in the Shenzhou Continent on a meteorite.
On that day, in this region, there happened to be two Demon Emperors, several Quasi-Emperors, and dozens of Demon Kings engaged in a fierce battle, vying over a treasure.
A meteorite, wrapped in a terrible force, crashed down and incinerated their flesh, leaving behind a mass of skeletons lying atop the crater.
The Mysterious Faces discovered these skeletons and, using their race’s unique “Creator’s Divine Ability”, extracted the essence from the skeletons to assemble the Bone Demon Empress, fostering her growth along the way.
Over the years, the Bone Demon Empress had been obeying the Mysterious Faces’ commands, staying hidden, and occasionally slaughtering powerful beings to hone herself.
Until recently, when the Mysterious Faces detected that the Teleportation Point established by the Soul-Devouring Clan in the Ancient Demon Battlefield had collapsed.
The Mysterious Faces knew their opportunity had come.
They ordered the Bone Demon Empress to launch a sneak attack on the Great Liang Empress, planning to take her place, forcefully taking over the Great Liang Imperial Palace and seizing control of the Great Liang Demon Nation.
Once successful, they would be reborn.
“So, it turns out it was because I destroyed the Soul-Devouring Clan’s Teleportation Point and the Eight-Armed Evil God statue that triggered the subsequent series of events.”
“From this, it can also be seen that the Mysterious Faces fear the Soul-Devouring Clan and know that they can’t make a move while the other is still around.”
“It seems that in the world beyond, the Soul-Devouring Clan is also a formidable force not to be trifled with.”
Ye Feng waved his hand and scattered the memory images of the Mysterious Faces.
Afterward, a crystal floated in midair.
He reached out and touched it, receiving a stream of information that assembled into a three-thousand-word scripture in his mind.
“”Creator’s Divine Ability”, using everything as a foundation, creates entirely new alternative creatures. The creator has absolute control and, with profound cultivation, one person can operate a formidable army.”
Ye Feng skimmed the introduction of this divine skill.
Unfortunately, this was a divine skill, surpassing Ninth Grade spells, and for the time being, no one in the Misty Sect could cultivate it.
Ye Feng looked around and began searching in the treasure piles of the palace.
“Spirit Power Crystal Stones, Flying Star Pearls…”
Seeing these treasures, Ye Feng was in high spirits.
After scouring the several caves of the Bone Demon Empress clean, he finally had gathered the materials needed to refine the Teleportation Array.
Ye Feng also discovered a large number of Demon Cores in the palace.
Two Divine Origin Realm Demon Emperor’s Demon Pills.
Twenty-five Spirit Sea Realm Demon King’s Demon Pills.
Five Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
Besides, there were various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The wealth of a Demon Emperor is indeed a pleasant surprise.
“The gains from this trip are indeed great!”
Ye Feng stored all the treasures in System Space, then continued to walk around the palace, but did not find the treasure that the Demon Emperors fought over in the memories of the Mysterious Faces.
“No, this palace is the treasure itself!”
Ye Feng hovered in midair, looking at the floating palace and the tiny stars rotating around it, suddenly realizing.
“This is a Lower Grade Spiritual Treasure named ‘Star Palace’. If I can refine the Star Palace, I can set up a Star Array that can trap Divine Origin Realm powerhouses.”
It was then that the System explained.
Ye Feng’s eyes lit up and said, “System, is there a way?”
He didn’t know how to refine the Star Palace.
“Sect Leader can try using the Wind Spirit Pearl for refinement.” The System suggested briefly before falling silent again.
Ye Feng raised his hand and drew out the Wind Spirit Pearl, continuously releasing the power of the Lower Grade Spiritual Treasure to connect with the Star Palace.
Hum!
The entire palace seemed to be activated and trembled slightly, but it was still not enough to refine it.
Ye Feng used up three strands of Wind Element Spirit Energy, eventually breaking through the defense of the Star Palace, and left his blood imprint on its core.
“Rise!”
Ye Feng stood above the palace, activated the Spatial Compass, and teleported himself and the entire Star Palace to above the meteorite crater.
He stood atop the Star Palace, controlling the great hall as it flew through the air toward the Great Liang Imperial Palace.
The palace was guarded by a star belt with a diameter of over a kilometer. From afar, it appeared as if there was a palace floating above a galaxy, quite mystical.
On the ground.
Many cultivators and powerful members of the Demon Race looked up and saw the Star Palace, with Ye Feng standing on it, instantly feeling as if they were witnessing a Heavenly Venerable descending to the mortal world, and they knelt down to pay respects.
“Immortal!”
The crowd exclaimed excitedly.
