Lords go left, Emperors go right

Dugu Yue couldn't find the way at this time. This area was very different from when she left ten years ago. There were so many changes that it was like a completely different place. Aosta was not a big problem. If Dugu Yue couldn't remember the way, she could entrust the "mechanical angel" Salia to use high-tech means to detect the energy source. The existence with the greatest energy sensing ability was undoubtedly the mysterious monster. With the help of high-tech means, the target could also be found.

Chapter 69: The Winner of the Life-and-Death Battle in the Underground Ruins

In the remains of a super ancient civilization beneath the mysterious black market in the Chimera Plain, Lord Prince Aosta, after some disguise, finally succeeded in leading his team members into the underground space of the remains of a super ancient civilization. That underground space gave people a very uncomfortable feeling, just like entering the internal organs of the human body.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and a strong stench, and the strange heartbeat that kept echoing in the underground space made the entire underground space always shrouded in an inexplicably oppressive atmosphere. The group of Eastern monsters encountered before did not fight with Osta. It might be that the mysterious monster had made some big moves, and they needed to prepare to escape in advance. Osta took the opportunity to temporarily ignore these extra personnel and give priority to dealing with the mysterious monster.

After dealing with the main enemies such as this gentleman prince, Osta felt that the rest of the Eastern monsters would not be difficult to deal with. Since the Demon Suppression Tower was out of order, they could be directly liberated without sealing, which would save a lot of trouble. Among the Eastern monsters, except for the three female monsters who were worth keeping, the other monsters were not worth Osta's interest.

Osta compared the frequency of the strange heartbeat and confirmed that it was a human heartbeat, but the frequency of the heartbeat varied too much and there was almost no pattern to be found. This was definitely not a normal heartbeat. If a normal person had this heartbeat sound and frequency, he would have died long ago.

There were no other adventurers entering the underground space. Since the ancient civilization ruins traveled to the other world of this plane, 99% of the explorers who came here in the past ten years stopped at the ground buildings of the ancient ruins. They were captured by the formations set up by the cultivators from the ancient Eastern countries and had no chance to enter here. In addition, the failure of the Demon Suppression Tower and the escaped Eastern monsters also posed a great threat to the adventurers who entered this place.

Osta and his team were the first exploration team to enter the underground space of the ancient ruins. After exploring for a while, Osta roughly saw that the environment of this underground space was a magnified version of the human internal organs. The things wrapped in those cocoon-like flesh sacs were confirmed to be living people after the "mechanical angel" Salia used a high-tech thermal imaging device to see through them. Judging from the outlines, they should be the victims attacked by the mysterious monster.

The victims did not die, but remained in the cocoons, being nurtured in some strange way, which felt a bit like a heavy-flavored seedbed. The survivors who survived until now were obviously not ordinary humans. Nine out of ten were from the three sects of cultivators that were wiped out by the mysterious monster. There were cultivators from the Wuji Sect, the Wanmo Palace, and the Cangjian Sect, both righteous and evil sects. The mysterious monster seemed to be secretly planning an evil plan.

"My Lord, there are three places with huge energy. I can't explain this..."

"Saliya, there's no need to re-detect. The three locations are correct. These three locations are the key points here. We must attack them simultaneously to cause damage to that guy."

"Yulia, what did you see?"

"I see. But, Lord Osta, before that, we want to confirm one thing with you. Do you want to destroy or seize?"

"of course..."

Yulia asked Osta to make a choice in an inquiring tone. Chris and Sofia on the side also looked at Osta with inquiring eyes. It was obvious that the three of them knew something, but it was not convenient for them to reveal too much for the time being.

According to the brief introduction of these three beauties, the mysterious monster hidden in the back intends to transform the remains of the ultra-ancient civilization into a larger giant monster, using the underground space as the monster's internal organs.

The key to this magic change is here in the underground space. The three places with huge energy, one is the brain of the giant monster, one is the heart of the giant monster, and the last one is the hiding place of the mysterious monster.

Putting aside the mysterious monster's body, the other two things are very useful. The former is a brain that has been fused together by swallowing countless lives. It can be said to be the crystallization of countless wisdoms. Possessing it can gain nearly infinite wisdom. The latter is a demonized heart that has been fused together by swallowing countless lives. Possessing it can gain extraordinary strength and enhance physical abilities to the greatest extent.

These two items are forbidden items that cannot be exchanged in the time traveler cheat code exchange system. The time traveler who obtains them can even counterattack and directly have the capital to fight against the general dimension's creator god. The price is that the owner will probably lose his ability to live as a human being. If it lasts for a long time, there is a possibility that the mind will be taken away by evil, and even people with high self-control cannot control it.

If you want to improve your strength, you have to pay a price. This is an opportunity to be on par with the Creation Gods of other planes, and be called a peer. Yulia and the others asked for Osta's opinion indirectly. Judging from the relaxed expressions of Chris and the other two, even if they were blessed with the two heaven-defying items, they still could not pose a threat to them.

Osta gave the answer without hesitation, of course he refused. He had no interest in being able to advance to the level of the Creator God of the Plane, and he did not envy this gentleman prince at all. He felt that it was better for him to live a free and comfortable life now. Besides, if he needed combat power, he had Chris, Yulia and Sophia by his side, and there was no need for him to lose his humanity and fight in person.

The best way is to destroy the two evil objects, so as to prevent them from falling into the hands of bad people in the future, causing greater harm and immeasurable losses. Osta is more realistic, adhering to the phalanx of destroying what he can't get. He won't keep what he can't use, so as to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy in the future and causing great threats and troubles to his side.

"Destroy it, Chris, that's my answer, and I won't change my answer."

"Lord Osta, we understand your determination. For the next battle, we need to act separately. Only when we simultaneously defeat the three parts of that guy can we have a chance of winning."

"Yulia, how do you plan to divide them into groups?"

"Lord Osta, look at this, Yufei and I..."

The group operation was quickly deployed. Yulia and the puppet witch Yufei were in one group to destroy the heart, Sophia and the mechanical angel Salia were in one group to destroy the brain. Osta, Chris and Dugu Yue, who led the way, were in one group to defeat the body of the mysterious monster.

Team members do not need to exchange magic communication crystals. Chris and the other three have many authority skills. They do not need the help of magic communication crystals and can use other special methods to communicate remotely in advance.

Yuliya originally wanted to act alone, but the puppet witch Yufei kept pulling her sleeve, clearly refusing to leave. Yuliya had no choice but to take the little girl with her. The two walked to the heart of the place and were the first of the three action teams to arrive at the destination and start the battle.

The huge heart was dark red in color. There were many thick dark red blood vessels connected to the heart from the outside. From the surface of the blood vessels, you could see traces of blood flowing inside them.

This huge heart has been beating for who knows how many years. It is simply a perpetual motion machine. The heart is a fusion of the flesh of life devoured by the mysterious monster. It has a terrifying healing ability. Most forbidden spells and big moves cannot cause damage to it. If it is damaged, it will recover quickly.

When Yulia and the puppet witch Yufei arrived, the heart sensed the outsiders and summoned guards immediately. Dozens of humanoid monsters soon emerged from the blood pool around the giant heart. They were all bloody people, and they were estimated to be the victims who had been devoured by the heart.

Behind these bloody guards, there is an obvious blood vessel connected, and the other end of the blood vessel is connected to the giant heart, which is directly controlled by the giant heart. This giant heart, which is more than ten meters long, is a floating fortress when first seen.

"You stay here, Yuffie. I'll take care of it."

"Sister Yulia, I...I can help you, just let me..."

"Be obedient, Yufei, or I won't play with you anymore. You'd better not do too much fighting and killing."

"The creatures devoured by that heart have resentment. Youfei, you have carried too much resentment before, and you can't add more resentment. I am different. It has no effect on me."

"Sister, I...I will be obedient and wait for you obediently."

Under Yulia's teaching, the puppet witch Yufei immediately became obedient, fearing that the elder sister would not take her to play in the future. On the other side, Sophia and the mechanical angel Salia also arrived at their destination and found the giant brain.

The giant brain gave people an even more bizarre feeling. The brain was nearly 20 meters long, and thick and long brain nerves could be seen on it. There were also many nerve fibers connected around the brain, forming a complex neural network in the floating state.

The IQ of this giant brain is definitely higher than that of many supercomputers. Sophia brought Salia here for a strategic purpose. Salia looked at the giant brain in the sky and felt that it was similar to many supercomputers she had made before. The most obvious difference was that this super brain was constructed with biological components, which was much more advanced than mechanical supercomputers, and its functions were definitely stronger than most mechanical supercomputers.

If it didn't have to be destroyed, Salia wanted to take the giant brain away and research it to transform it into a supercomputer. Like the giant heart before, the giant brain also had the ability to sense the arrival of the enemy and summoned guards at the first moment. Some alien monsters made of neurons were even more terrifying than the bloody guards on the other side of the heart. They seemed to be remotely controlled by the giant brain, and the control nerve endings could not be seen from the outside.

After the enemy appeared, Sophia stood in front, ready to fight, to protect the mechanical angel Salia in the back. Salia was strong in both long-range and close combat, so Sophia was not needed in the front as a shield.

"Lady Sophia, let's fight together! You don't need to cover me too much."

"Saliya, you have other tasks. I will hold off the guards. You find a way to hack into that giant brain. It should have a self-destruct program."

"Saliya, there is no need to seize control, just activate its self-destruct sequence."

"This brain...Okay, Lady Sophia, I'll try my best!"

"Thank you for your help, Salia. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one can disturb your actions."

"Lady Sophia, please wait for my good news. I will start the invasion now."

Under Sophia's cover, the mechanical angel Salia began to concentrate on invading the giant brain. She took out a few wires and directly inserted them into a thick nerve ending connected to the outside of the giant brain. Then, like a professional hacker invading a computer, she used this nerve ending as a medium to try to invade the giant brain, this special super biochemical computer.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards summoned by the giant brain rushed forward to stop the other party's invasion. However, the sacred magic defense barrier summoned by Sophia was too strong. Under the protection of the magic defense barrier, the guards had no way to hit the nerve endings, and could only watch the other party recklessly launch an invasion and infiltration activity.

The giant brain itself is extremely intelligent, and a normal hacker cannot hack into it alone. However, the mechanical angel Salia is not a man of honor. She has a special connection method that can connect to dozens of supercomputers in the back. After the two sides fought, they were evenly matched at the beginning, but then it became difficult. Salia had dozens of supercomputers in parallel to join the battle, and the situation quickly reversed. The giant brain was almost pressed to the ground. The opponent was an alliance of dozens of supercomputers, and there was no way to win. Failure was only a matter of time.

After the battle between the giant heart and the giant brain lasted for a while, Osta and Chris came to their group's battle area, where the mysterious monster was hiding. They saw a black meteorite with a strange shape and bumpy surface suspended in the air, floating in a very strange posture.

On the ground in front of the meteorite, there was a huge Bagua formation, on which were drawn detailed ancient oriental characters, and the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches were marked in great detail. Although Osta knew nothing about these Yin-Yang Bagua matters and had no knowledge of this aspect, he could see the ominous side of this Bagua formation. The gentleman prince could not feel a trace of righteousness from the Bagua formation, but instead an indescribable evil aura.

A large amount of energy gathered on the Bagua formation. A huge pale light column rose from the Bagua formation and penetrated the ceiling of the underground space, connecting with the mysterious black market on the ground. The source of the teleportation magic formation in the mysterious black market on the Chimera Plain was in this Bagua formation. Only by destroying the Bagua formation could the operation of the magic portal be stopped.

There are various magical instruments of the immortals displayed on the Bagua formation, all of which exist as the energy supply source of the Bagua formation. Osta also saw the ancient magatama that sealed the nine-tailed fox Xue Rou, who had previously entrusted Osta with help. It was in a more prominent position on the Bagua formation, so the status of the magatama should be very high.

The one who arranged the Bagua formation was a mysterious monster. This guy had such a terrifying ability to set up the formation after devouring countless cultivators. At the four corners of this area, Osta even saw the statues of the four sacred beasts of the ancient Eastern country. The statues of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise were all placed according to their original real positions.

The statues of these holy beasts were obviously polluted. The statues were torn and dark, and it was obvious that they had fallen due to pollution. The statues of the four holy beasts gave people the feeling that they would come alive at any time. Osta was not too worried. Chris, who was beside him, had an unchanged expression on her face and was still worried. There was no problem with the battle.

"That...that's the Grandmaster...Master..."

"Yue, wake up. That guy is a monster in disguise. He is not your master. Your master is probably..."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Aosta, I...I lost my composure and forgot about it just now."

"Yue, this is not your fault. That guy is really good at disguising himself. I almost fell for it."

When Dugu Yue, who was leading the way, saw a figure on the Bagua formation, he lost control of his emotions and almost walked over. Fortunately, Osta was quick-witted and reached out to grab the paper figure in front of him, so that Dugu Yue did not go far.

At the center of the Bagua formation, there was an old man in a gray robe sitting cross-legged, looking as if he was meditating. The old man had pale hair, but no wrinkles on his face. As a cultivator, the years could only leave limited traces on them.

At first glance, this old man gave people a strong sense of immortality and a hermit. Dugu Yue, who was leading the way, almost lost control of his emotions and walked forward impulsively. The mysterious monster disguised himself as this old man, who was originally the founder of the Cangjian Sect, the leader of the Wanjian Sect, and the sword fairy Dugu Ming.

This senior swordsman had already ascended to heaven before the fall of the Cangjian Sect. He once returned to the sect and tried to turn the tide, but he was ultimately defeated by the mysterious monster and perished.

The mysterious monster's tactics to destroy the Cangjian Sect were quite despicable. It first used power as bait to lure the next generation of Cangjian Sect's leader candidate who was trying to get the leader position and had an impure mentality. Dugu Ba, who was obsessed with cultivation and almost went astray several times, was Dugu Yue's brother.

At that time, Dugu Ba was at a disadvantage in the competition with another candidate for the leader of Cangjian Sect, Dugu Jian. In order to win, he secretly broke into the sect's forbidden area, uncovered several sealing symbols on the ominous meteorite, released a mysterious monster, and tried to gain power from the monster.

This ominous meteorite was found by the Wanjian Sect from the Wuji Sect, a decent sect of cultivators that was destroyed ten years ago. After Dugu Ming fell, he plotted against Dugu Jian. After the assassination was successful, the mysterious monster disguised himself as Dugu Jian and revealed the evidence of his crime at the inheritance ceremony of the leader of the Cangjian Sect. Dugu Ming, who was desperate, was besieged by the elders of the sect and was finally sealed on the altar.

At this time, the mysterious monster showed its ferocious side and attacked the Wanjian Sect after the battle. After the losses in the previous civil war, the remaining Wanjian Sect members were no match for the mysterious monster. At the last moment, the remaining masters of the Wanjian Sect activated the teleportation formation, teleporting the entire sect's headquarters into the void, indirectly expelling the mysterious monster from its original world.

Thinking of this, Dugu Yue felt a little regretful and scared for his previous impulsiveness. This irrationality almost harmed other teammates. Osta was not a cultivator and did not worship cultivators. No matter how high the other party's status was, it would not shake his mentality. After all, the mainstream of this plane of another world was not the world of cultivation.

"Who are you? Why are you disturbing my meditation? I wonder what you want to do?"

"Don't act like that. Be more professional next time. You can't fool anyone by not even changing the props and the environment."

"Why are you guys here..."

"You don't need to know this. If you could get out of this world, we wouldn't have to go through all the trouble like we are doing now."

"For all these years, no one has ever been able to drive me away. Do you guys think you can rebel?"

"That's because they couldn't do it. It's different now. If you don't want to disappear in a dignified way, then I'll help you do it this time."

The fake swordsman's tone of voice was almost the same as the real one, and his old voice sounded like that of an old man. Osta knew in advance that the swordsman in front of him was a mysterious monster in disguise, so he was not fooled by it.

Chris walked forward, and a long sword made of silver energy appeared in her hand. The fake sword immortal came out of his meditation state, and immediately attacked when he saw Chris approaching. The mysterious monster was the immortal that the mysterious black market boss David had seen. This guy had never been truly sealed, and was hidden in the super ancient ruins. It was obvious that he was trying to create a giant monster in the underground space of the ruins.

The evil demon sealed by the Wanjian Sect in the Seven-Star Demon Subduing Formation that Cangjian Sect had deployed with all its strength was the fallen Dugu Ming. This mysterious monster attacked secretly and was not sealed at all. The attack moves of the fake sword immortal were exactly the same as those of the real sword immortal. The power and range of some moves even exceeded those of the real sword immortal. As a copycat, being able to surpass the original is an extremely rare exception.

Osta felt like he was watching a great battle between a sword immortal and a sword demon. Countless sword auras were floating around the fake sword immortal, and there was also silver sword aura floating around Chris. The two sides fought back and forth in the air, and it was difficult to tell who was better for a while. Fortunately, the battle took place in this special battlefield in the underground space. If it was outside, many surrounding buildings would inevitably be damaged by the war.

Chris seemed to be holding back, deliberately controlling her strength to the same level as the mysterious monster, making the opponent feel that they had a chance of winning and not using other magic weapons for the time being. Chris was stalling for time and waiting until the most critical moment to launch a counterattack.

This tactic was later proved to be the wisest choice. The mysterious monster controlled many magical weapons, including those left by the righteous and evil cultivators, the magatama on the huge Bagua formation, and the statues of the four sacred beasts. If Chris had exerted her full combat power at the beginning and gained a clear advantage, she would have forced the mysterious monster to use more killer moves in advance, which would have made it even more difficult to deal with.

"Your strength is not limited to this level, is this all you have? You are from an infinite dimension..."

"Of course not, I was just waiting...it looks like I've waited."

"You...you actually...there were three of you. That's despicable."

"We can't help it. This world is not suitable for being a battlefield. It will affect many people. Also, the three of us are not in the same group. We are only in this group temporarily because... You know too much. You should go back to where you are supposed to be."

"I... How could I lose, this..."

"You are too weak. To be honest, if these things weren't precious and Lord Osta wouldn't need them in the future, you wouldn't be able to survive even one move."

The two sides confronted each other in the air for a long time, neither of them had the upper hand, and the mysterious monster couldn't help but taunt Chris. This guy obviously saw Chris's background. Chris didn't care, and didn't care about the enemy's sarcasm and the revelation of her identity.

The mysterious monster finally realized that something was wrong at this time, but it was too late. A dull loud noise was heard in the underground space, and the huge heart was shattered by the group of Yulia and the Doll Witch Yufei. It exploded on the spot, and blood plasma and other things scattered and splashed everywhere.

After the power supply was destroyed, the fake sword immortal felt a sharp pain in his chest, and blood spurted out on the spot, with blood all over the corners of his mouth. The huge Bagua formation that was originally rotating also tended to stop, and the giant light column quickly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A huge black hole appeared above the Bagua formation, and several huge black energy hands stretched out from the hole. These big hands grabbed the body of the mysterious monster and the strangely shaped meteorite, and dragged it directly into the void.

Sophia and the hackers on the side of the mechanical angel Salia succeeded in their operation. While manipulating the giant brain to execute the self-destruction program, they also borrowed its power to activate the super-time and space teleportation magic circle and sent the mysterious monster away.

The mysterious monster was busy dealing with Chris before, and its attention was all on Chris. It didn't expect that there were three enemies on the other side, and its home was stolen. The mysterious monster's disguised, immortal appearance was instantly broken, and it turned into its original terrifying appearance, which was the appearance that Osta saw when he used the micro-machine for aerial reconnaissance before.

When the mysterious monster stretched out its hand to activate some magic weapon, it was too late. It itself was pulled into the void by the huge attraction, and the strange meteorite disappeared along with its body.

With the disappearance of the mysterious monster, the huge Bagua formation lost control and the energy began to get out of control. The mysterious black market hidden on the Chimera Plain, the mysterious black market's teleportation magic circle, this magic portal finally came to an end after more than ten years of uninterrupted operation.

"I...we won! Your Highness Aosta, it...it won't come back again?"

"No, Yue, Yulia sent it back to where it came from. It will never come to this world again."

"Thank...thank you guys, it's really...finally I helped Master and the others..."

"Yue, things are not over yet. I still need your help to count the remains. By the way, can you tell me what is at the bottom of the underground lake later? You should know it. You have spent a lot of time in the underground palace at the bottom of the lake."

"I know a lot about what's at the bottom of the lake. Your Highness Aosta, what exactly do you want to know about?"

Dugu Yue was excited about this victory, with a feeling of tears of joy and a hint of disbelief. The mysterious monster that destroyed the three major sects of cultivators and devoured countless good and evil cultivators just disappeared. This hard-won victory was so sudden that Dugu Yue was not mentally prepared in advance. Osta calmed Dugu Yue down in time.

Although the mysterious monster was expelled, the mess it left behind was quite troublesome to clean up. It was even worse than the mess left by the war between the two factions of traversers during the dimensional war in the mechanical ruins. There were many things that needed to be dealt with.

In addition to the remains of the super ancient civilization, there is an underground lake below the ruins and a hidden underground palace at the bottom of the lake. A few people over there still need to deal with it. Whether to seal, recruit, or conquer, Osta has to make the final decision.

The mysterious monster, its body, and the strange meteorite were teleported to a special space. This space gave people the feeling of being in the starry sky, with beautiful scenery of shining stars everywhere, and being completely in the vast universe.

In front of the mysterious monster was a stunning beauty with black hair and black eyes. Yulia was floating in the sea of ​​stars. She moved freely, not bound by any physical laws. After seeing the mysterious monster, Yulia showed a cruel sneer on her face, as if she had already won.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the mysterious monster wanted to escape, but found that it had lost control of its body. Yulia stretched out her hand and grabbed randomly in the air, and it seemed that she grabbed the air, but in fact, the next second, the mysterious monster's body, the strange meteorite, was crushed by the invisible energy through the air and exploded directly in the starry sky, turning into countless pieces.

After the meteorite exploded, the true body of the mysterious monster appeared, a mass of squirming black liquid that looked like oil. Yulia pulled out a square glass body from the void like a magic trick and threw it towards the body of the mysterious monster.

The mysterious monster's body was unable to dodge and was trapped in this square glass body. It could only pound the surrounding glass frantically inside the glass body, and there was a strong sense of impotence and rage. The mysterious monster now had no power at all. There was nothing it could do. This was someone else's territory, not its own. Once here, it could only let the other party slaughter it at will.

"Don't struggle. This is the infinite dimension, not your super dimension. You think too much. If you had activated the magic weapon earlier, or had you dispatched it ten years ago, you wouldn't have fallen to this point."

"You...you can't kill me, why bother..."

"I'm just sending you back to where you came from. They will take care of you there. I don't need to do anything."

"Wait, I...we can talk about it and understand each other. There's no need to be so cruel."

"Mutual understanding? Sorry, I have no interest in you. Let everything return to dust. Even the top leaders on your side are nothing but dust in front of me."

"I...I can swear allegiance to you and help you lead the way..."

"Forget it. I have something more interesting to do right now. If the super-dimensions don't come to cause trouble, I'm too lazy to fight with them."

The mysterious monster's tone was not as rampant as before. Yulia was right. This mysterious monster was originally very strong, but because it devoured too many people and absorbed too many people's wisdom and thinking, it became cautious. After learning to think, the mysterious monster was not as reckless as before, but acted after careful thinking, and its actions were influenced by its thinking.

It could have taken action when it first crossed over to this alternate world ten years ago, and directly went to the surface world to carry out activities. At that time, the prehistoric civilization had been destroyed for many years, and there was no one on the surface world who could fight it and stop its crossing. Chris and the others were not in the Central Continent at that time, and they would not come to intervene.
