Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 264 The Secrets of the Mana Civilization

At the same time, Bai Yuekui, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

Mark was taken aback and glanced at Bai Yuekui.

Without saying a word, the latter effortlessly grabbed Mark's fingers with one hand and propelled him away at an incredible speed.

In the wasteland.

The familiar scarlet soil, the familiar enormous flower buds that resemble cells.

And there are also the Devouring Beasts that roam the land, lined up to pay their rent.

"Back in this godforsaken place again, I don't know how to put it, but I'm actually kind of nostalgic..."

In the distance, in a convertible luxury car, a rarity in this post-apocalyptic world, Mark sat next to Bai Yuekui and said with a smile.

"Don't reminisce, it's up to you to put an end to all of this."

Bai Yuekui, sitting in the driver's seat, joked.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the usually aloof Boss Bai would actually joke around."

Mark joked, his tone relaxed, showing no sense of crisis about entering a dangerous place, displaying complete confidence.

"There's no such thing as being aloof or cold; aren't we all just human?"

Bai Yuekui rolled his eyes.

As soon as she finished speaking, she slammed on the gas pedal.

Instantly, the luxury car spewed out a large amount of exhaust fumes, its speed increased dramatically, and it shot straight away.

The roar of the engine shattered the tranquility of the area.

"roar!"

One by one, the Devouring Beasts looked up, smelled the human presence, and let out a series of roars.

They couldn't even care less about something as important as paying rent; they were all baring their teeth and claws as they charged towards this side!

"act recklessly!"

Mark showed a hint of disdain, stood up from the convertible, and tore off his clothes, revealing a body even thicker than the Devouring Beast.

"roar!"

A roar exploded from his mouth, shaking the earth!

"Waaah"

Seeing this, the once menacing Devouring Beasts were terrified the moment they saw Mark. They immediately lay prostrate on the ground, tongues lolling out, like obedient little dogs.

"It's true that one thing can subdue another. These Devouring Beasts are notoriously fearless. Even if I punched them one by one, they wouldn't be afraid. Only you could subdue them without even lifting a finger."

Bai Yuekui witnessed this scene firsthand and said with a smirk.

If she hadn't heard about it beforehand, she would never have believed it.

Having dealt with the Devouring Beasts for so many years, when it comes to understanding them, no one would dare to claim to be second or first.

"Perhaps it's because they're afraid of my domineering aura."

Mark replied in a very flamboyant way.

The latter rolled his eyes again, said nothing, and just kept pressing the accelerator.

A convertible car sped along recklessly, and not a single Devouring Beast dared to stop it.

Mark's mere presence was like a guardian deity, deterring anyone from provoking his menacing aura.

Soon, with an aura of absolute kingship, Mark and Bai Yuekui arrived at the center of the vortex of blood.

There were seven or eight Mana flowers here, clustered together, and the air was thick with the bloody stench of life essence, making one wrinkle their nose and feel nauseous.

"I hope I never come back to this godforsaken place again."

Pushing open the car door, Bai Yuekui stepped out with a pair of long, slender, white legs, and said with a frown.

"Don't worry, this is the last time."

Mark stepped out of the convertible and said with a smile.

"Bon Voyage."

"That's all I can do for you."

Bai Yuekui smiled, said nothing more, and waved slightly.

"You're letting me go like that? That's incredibly ruthless! Aren't you afraid I'll die in there?"

Mark shrugged and smiled.

"Your current strength is probably much greater than mine, so what do you need me to care about?"

Bai Yuekui said helplessly.

"Alright, I'm not going to tease you anymore. I'm going down now. Wait for my triumphant return."

Mark waved and turned to walk towards the center of the many mana flowers.

Inside, a huge, crimson vortex, like a black hole, is surrounded by Mana flowers, appearing mysterious and exuding a sinister and terrifying aura.

"No wonder it's called 'Stinky Whirlpool,' is that why?"

"Does this place truly hold the secrets of the entire Mana civilization?"

Mark walked forward step by step, his brow furrowed, his earlier ease turning into caution.

Soon, he arrived in front of the scarlet vortex, which reeked of decay and stench, as if it contained countless ancient corpses.

And those Mana flowers, their roots spread all the way, eventually connecting to the vortex.

"All life essence is transported here, but what exactly is it like inside?"

Mark muttered to himself, filled with questions, without having time to think further.

The next second, he leaped into it.

"Is this the world below?"

Entering the vortex, Mark arrived at a new area.

Mark had initially thought that beneath this swirling vortex would be complete darkness.

But to his utter surprise, it wasn't dark at all; instead, it was completely bright and clear.

Here, in all directions, there is a kind of golden moss, clinging to the ground or rocks, emitting a bright yellow light.

With the help of these lights, Mark was able to see the whole place clearly.

Judging from its shape, it looks like a cave.

A road, like a long snake, stretched out in all directions, and at a glance, it was impossible to tell how deep it was.

Everywhere was rock and gravel, almost no different from the inside of a cave.

"Could this place be underground?"

Seeing this, Mark made a bold guess.

Let's move forward a bit.

Mark muttered to himself, not daring to draw any conclusions, and immediately decided to explore the way ahead.

With his massive body striding across the hard stone slabs, Mark walked resolutely forward.

Every time he landed, he could clearly see a large footprint on the stone ground.

It's easy to imagine just how powerful Mark has become.

"Um?!"

As Mark was walking, he suddenly stopped as if he had sensed something.

He then turned his gaze forward.

The narrow cave entrance in front of them had transformed into a large circular space.

If observed with the naked eye, it would be approximately tens of thousands of square kilometers.

Of course, this was not the reason why Mark suddenly stopped.

The reason he stopped was...

It was because he saw that the circular space in front of him was crawling with countless Devouring Beasts!

These Devouring Beasts are similar to those on the ground, with little difference in appearance.

However, their numbers were simply terrifying!

Besides the Devouring Beasts, Mark also saw dark black eggs on the ground.

A dark black egg has just hatched, its shell scattered on the ground, and a "miniature" version of the Devouring Beast crawls out of it.

"Hiss..."

This small Devouring Beast moved its short limbs, picked up the scattered eggshells on the ground, swallowed them one by one, and absorbed them into its body.
