Shula~

The surrounding bizarre space turbulence converged, transforming into white blades that slashed toward the group, especially Ye Qingzhou at the forefront, who bore the brunt of the attack.

"Such hospitality is truly too discourteous."

With a flicker of thought, the Sword Realm opened again!

Ye Qingzhou formed a sword with his fingers, and with a light slash in front of him, he conjured a vast and brilliant silver river of stars. This move, named Star Shift, was derived from Ye Qingzhou’s comprehension of the ’Starry Sky Map’ and ’Time Worm’ Golden Talisman Secret Texts, combined with Primordial Formless and Infinite Primordial Essence, finally grasped through integration.

The galaxy radiated brilliance, and the celestial river was boundless, transforming into a spacetime barrier in front of Ye Qingzhou. Even the space-cutting fierce winds were useless, disappearing into the endless star river like clay oxen into the sea, never to be seen again.

"Be careful, it’s coming again!"

Xuanwu called out from behind.

Inside the Ink Black Nest, the attacks of the Defense Formation were equally endless. The howling fierce wind attacked once more, with space-tearing slashes like a flock of swift swallows.

Flying faster and faster!

"With maximum speed, charge through at once!"

Ye Qingzhou immediately decided that instead of advancing slowly and being worn down or pushed back by these fierce winds, he would press onward to the next level.

"Stay close to me!!!"

After transmitting a thought through Thought Transmitting Sound, Ye Qingzhou immediately took action. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Five Divine Weapons formed into a Great Sword by a strange device, which Ye Qingzhou held firmly. His strong back muscles layered like rocks, and a pronounced, straight muscle seam appeared along his spine.

As his arms powered like opening and closing spring doors, the door-like Five-in-One Greatsword spun like a towering windmill, smashing the incoming fierce wind to pieces.

At this moment, Ye Qingzhou’s forearm muscles swelled, sinewy steel-cable-like muscles compressed beneath the skin, gathering power between cells to create a unique resonance.

Ye Qingzhou silently exerted force from his feet, and his whole body accelerated, charging forward with force.

Behind him, Xuanwu, Gu Minghui, and the others cooperated seamlessly, closely following his steps without rushing or lagging, maintaining a perfectly timed distance and rhythm.

Thud thud thud~

Ye Qingzhou’s heart started thundering, as the Heaven and Earth Furnace reached full operational state, squeezing every ounce of potential from his Demigod Body.

"Follow me!"

His figure suddenly swept swiftly through the corridor, a massive fierce wind roared in like a tsunami, even accompanied by the bombardment of solar winds.

Various high-energy cosmic rays engulfed Ye Qingzhou and the others until a Great Sword stood towering and imposing, splitting open the enraged sea of light in front of them.

Tsss~

The Great Sword cleaved the towering waves of solar wind, forcibly cutting a path through the desperate situation.

The remaining five Martial Saints followed closely, advancing against the tide. Following the direction indicated by the Profound Secret Celestial Destiny Book, they left the Great Wind Corridor and finally arrived in a ring-shaped area.

This place was filled with terrifying electromagnetic storms, and under the interference of high-energy particles, both the mind and body experienced intense discomfort.

Everywhere they looked was a white expanse; all five senses were disrupted, as if they were receivers of chaotic information, leaving thoughts erratic and unable to settle.

The six struggled through and eventually found a huge pit in the ground from which terrifying fierce winds and various high-energy cosmic rays gushed endlessly.

The inner walls of the pit were made of an obsidian-like special substance, incredibly hard and unidentifiable.

"There’s a staircase leading downward! Let’s go!"

Xuanwu noticed a ladder over a hundred meters long embedded firmly in the pit’s wall.

The six rushed over, and as they entered the eye of the wind, the fierce winds became more terrifying, the space as fragile as glass, clearly extremely unstable.

A single misstep could mean falling into a crack in space, being transported to an unknown corner of the cosmos, never to find the way back to Blue Star.

Ye Qingzhou led the way, Gu Minghui stood at the end, and the others used all their might to keep up with the team, constantly watching for changes around them.

With increasing resistance, once the attacks of the Array reached a critical point, they ceased to intensify, having clearly reached their limit and unable to last long.

After all, having operated for over a billion years, it was remarkable they could still run at all; after a forced boost in power, the Array sustained more damage, unable to maintain its previous state.

Ye Qingzhou suddenly felt the resistance lessen significantly, as the fierce winds’ attacks rapidly dropped by an order of magnitude.

The six moved several meters downward again, the resistance of the wind and waves clearly waning. After advancing over fifty meters, the whiteness ahead abruptly cleared, their vision became sharp and clear.

The chaotic fierce wind turbulence dropped from the Martial Saint Peak level sharply to a level that even a Martial Arts Grandmaster could barely manage, allowing Ye Qingzhou and the others to catch their breath.

One minute and forty-two seconds later, at the bottom of the eye of the wind, the second layer of the ruins appeared before their eyes.

Ye Qingzhou raised his head, gazing at the rumbling cylindrical dome above.

The surface of the dome bore strange patterns with a mythological touch of the Feather Race, exuding a feeling of complexity and grandeur, an immeasurable sea of clouds, with tens of thousands of the Feather Race flying around a Bright Sun as if on a pilgrimage.
