Devouring the Starry Sky: Eclipse Palace Master

Chapter 60: The Beast God's Traces
As everyone came to Shadow Valley to explore the traces of the Wood Beast God, more than a hundred epochs had passed.
It's not just Li Yang. During the repeated explorations over the years, the masters of the universe have all discovered some traces of the Wood Beast God's activities, as well as the Wood Beast God's elusive breath, in the secret realm of the Shadow Valley.

Those who are exploring the secret realm at this time are all the top masters of the universe among the human race. Each of them can make the original universe tremble with a stomp of his feet.

At this time, everyone gathered together again to exchange the information they had collected.

"This Wood Beast God is really hiding deep. We have been looking for it for such a long time, but there is still no trace of it." The Lord of Chaos City complained with a frown.

"It's normal. If the Wood Beast God didn't have such a hiding method and was easily discovered by us, that would be abnormal!" The founder of the giant axe replied, "The natural beast god who was able to escape the pursuit of many universe masters in the original universe and survive to this day must have his own unique hiding method and would not be caught so easily!"

"Don't worry, it can't escape from our grasp. Although this secret realm is huge, we will definitely find it if we search carefully." The founder of the giant axe said calmly.

"That being said, we have explored this secret realm of Shadow Valley for more than 100 epochs, and we have also searched all the space layers!" Li Yang wondered, "Where could this Wood Beast God be hiding?"

They shuttled through this secret realm, and the space and time around them seemed like a mass of fog, constantly twisting and changing. They carefully searched every fold of space, but the Wood Beast God seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with them, and disappeared without a trace.

Just when everyone was feeling a little discouraged, Li Yang's powerful soul perception suddenly detected something strange.

His figure flashed and he arrived in front of a secret space-time mezzanine.

The energy fluctuations here are chaotic yet full of mysterious charm. In the center of the mezzanine, an original treasure material is quietly suspended.

The material was like a crystal that was born at the beginning of the universe. A colorful halo flowed on its surface, and the halo seemed to contain the mysteries of all things in the universe.

Sometimes it flashes the green light of the law of wood, and sometimes it flows with the silver light of the power of time and space, as if it is a treasure formed by the fusion of these two powerful forces.

"This is..." Master Peng Gong spoke in surprise.

Li Yang's heart moved. He knew that this kind of treasure would definitely bring great help to the human race. He carefully put it away and said, "Put it away first and study it when we get back. Let's continue to look for the Wood Beast God."

Everyone nodded.

After collecting the treasure, Li Yang did not stop at all and continued to move deeper into the space mezzanine of the Shadow Valley Secret Realm.

Other masters of the universe followed closely behind. They all knew that this unexpected discovery might bring extraordinary gains.

Suddenly, Li Yang stopped and the surrounding environment suddenly became weird.

The originally quiet depths of time and space seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, and a hint of chill appeared.

In the darkness, through layers of space, one could vaguely see that the ancient trees in Shadow Valley began to tremble violently. Their branches and leaves rubbed against each other, making rustling sounds, as if they were whispering in fear.

On the thick tree trunks, mysterious runes flickered with faint green light, as if awakened by some powerful force. These lights intertwined together, reflecting the surrounding mist, giving the mist a gloomy color.

Everyone immediately withdrew from the space.

On the ground, tiny cracks began to appear in the tough black rocks, from which wisps of black smoke seeped out. The smoke slowly rose, carrying a pungent smell of decay, as if it was the breath from the depths of hell.

The surrounding vines twisted wildly. They were originally attached to trees and rocks, but now they seemed to be injected with violent power, stretching out in all directions with their fangs and claws. Some vines even grew sharp thorns, flashing cold light, as if ready to attack any creature that approached. Li Yang's eyes became sharp, like a cheetah that found its prey. "I feel the trace of the Wood Beast God!" He whispered, "Its breath is in the northeast, very weak, but it is unmistakable."

Everyone was instantly energized and rushed towards the northeast.

As they approached, a strong aura of the law of wood began to permeate the surrounding space. That aura was mixed with a sense of tyranny, which was obviously the power characteristic of the Wood Beast God.

The surrounding trees seemed to have gone mad, branches waving wildly and leaves flying everywhere like flying knives.

Some trees were even uprooted and rushed towards them. The thick roots were like huge tentacles, raising clouds of dust on the ground.

The vines on the ground formed green barriers, trying to block their way. The thorns on the vines flashed dangerously, and each one contained powerful power.

"Hmph, you want to run? Not that easy!" Li Yang snorted coldly, a light flashed in his hand, and Xingyuan's power burst out, instantly turning the blocking vines into ashes.

However, just when they were about to catch up with the source of the breath, the breath suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"Damn it, it must have sensed us and used some hidden means." The Lord of Penggong said angrily.

Li Yang frowned. He used Xingyuan's detection function to carefully sense every energy fluctuation around him. "It can't run far. Let's keep looking."

……

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yang felt that breath again, but this time it was more vague and the direction was difficult to determine.

"Everyone, spread out and search. Once you find anything, notify others immediately." Li Yang gave the order.

The Great Axe Founders and the Lords of the Universe flew in different directions, not letting go of any suspicious corners. But the Wood Beast God was like a cunning ghost, and every time they were about to find it, it disappeared without a trace.

After losing the trace of the Wood Beast God again, Li Yang's powerful soul perception sensed something strange again. This strangeness did not come from the direction of the Wood Beast God, but a powerful and ancient attraction coming from a mysterious place ahead.

"Tianshi, what did you find?" asked the Lord of Chaos City.

"I sense a mysterious attraction, as if there is something related to me in front of me that is attracting me." Li Yang turned his head and said to the other Lords of the Universe: "Try to concentrate your minds and see if you can sense it?"

"Indeed, I also sensed a faint attraction!"

"Indeed there is!" said the founder of the giant axe in a deep voice.

"There's something unusual ahead, let's go take a look. Maybe it's related to the Wood Beast God."

As Li Yang spoke, he flew towards the source of the attraction. The other Lords of the Universe also felt this force and followed him.
