Chapter 974: Entering the Ruins
In an instant, Zhu Fei felt an extremely fierce force, transmitted through the Star Dream Moon Sword, directly striking him.
Even with Zhu Fei's physical strength, which was about to break through to King-level, he felt a bit overwhelmed.
This showed just how powerful the suddenly appeared Beastman Stone Statue was.
"Heavenly Thunder Yin Kill!"
At this moment, Kong Yuan also made his move.
Wielding a dark-green huge hammer in his hand, as Immortal Essence surged, a series of deep and dark celestial thunder continuously struck the body of the Beastman Stone Statue.
The continuous "boom" sounds were endless, and under this sudden and fierce celestial thunder attack, the Beastman Stone Statue kept retreating.
When Kong Yuan's wave of attacks ceased, both Zhu Fei and Kong Yuan had their eyes slightly tighten.
No other reason, but at this moment, the surface of the Beastman Stone Statue had not suffered any substantial damage!
"This... how is this possible?"
Kong Yuan showed a hint of shock on his face, with disbelief written in his eyes.
He was indeed a bit shocked. His attack just now was arguably his full strength, but the result...
Before Kong Yuan could figure out what had happened, the Beastman Stone Statue suddenly raised the giant axe in its hand high.
A massive axe aura abruptly condensed in front of it, fiercely slashing towards Kong Yuan!
With a "swoosh," the sound was as harsh as tearing air.
The massive axe aura seemed to ignore all space and time, arriving in front of Kong Yuan almost in less than a breath!
Kong Yuan was terrified, wanting to dodge, but was even more shocked to discover that the entire space he was in now seemed as if it had been solidified by something, becoming as hard as steel.
Forget dodging; even if he wanted to move his body just a little, it was impossible.
It's over!
Just as this thought arose in Kong Yuan's mind, he was again shocked to see that the massive axe aura suddenly halted when it was only an inch from his forehead.
Then, the massive axe aura began to dissipate into thin air, along with the entire body of the Beastman Stone Statue, which gradually became illusory, and eventually disappeared completely!
"This...?"
Kong Yuan was somewhat bewildered. Raising his eyes forward, he was astonished to find Zhu Fei standing before a spot engraved with peculiar runes.
At that position, faint spirit light was emanating, and vaguely, there seemed to be an ethereal passage appearing indistinctly behind him.
"If I'm not mistaken, where I am now should be the hub of this ruin. Only by occupying this position can the entire relic hub operation be temporarily controlled."
Zhu Fei's voice suddenly came through, and he continued:
"Brother Kong, quickly bring Fairy Meng here while I can still control this hub. Let's hurry into this relic."
Early on, when Meng You discovered those remaining runes, Zhu Fei had noticed the anomaly of this relic.
And through the brief confrontation with that Beastman Stone Statue just now, Zhu Fei's judgment was confirmed.
Earlier, he took advantage of Kong Yuan's fight with the Beastman Stone Statue, temporarily using some means in the Xuanzun Skill to control the relic hub, resulting in the current scene.
Upon hearing Zhu Fei's words, Kong Yuan returned to his senses from the momentary shock just now.
Without hesitation, he rushed to the still pained-looking Meng You, bringing her immediately to Zhu Fei's side.
"Brother Kong, this is the Heavenly Soul Pill, it can repair the wounded Divine Soul. Quickly have Fairy Meng take it, then we'll immediately enter the relic."
"Heavenly Soul Pill?"
Seeing Zhu Fei toss a purely white Pill to him, Kong Yuan did not hesitate, grabbed the Pill, and directly placed it into Meng You's mouth.
Yet, inside, he was a bit shocked at Zhu Fei's generosity, administering such a precious Pill like the Heavenly Soul Pill to treat Meng You's damaged Divine Soul.
It should be known that in the current Immortal Realm, any Pill capable of repairing Divine Soul injuries is extremely precious, let alone the third-grade Immortal Pill, Heavenly Soul Pill.
The effect of the Heavenly Soul Pill was impressive. Not long after Meng You took it, the pain on her face quickly subsided, and her consciousness also returned to normal.
Except for her complexion being a bit pale, she was mostly out of danger.
"Brother Ye, thank you for saving me once again just now."
After recovering, Meng You immediately expressed her gratitude to Zhu Fei.
Even though she lost all ability to act just now, she was aware of everything happening around her, knowing that Zhu Fei had used the extremely precious Heavenly Soul Pill to save her.
This made Meng You, while grateful to Zhu Fei, feel even more of a mysterious emotion.
At this time, Zhu Fei evidently did not pay attention to these emotions. Hearing her words, he merely smiled at Meng You, then promptly said to Kong Yuan and Meng You:
"You guys should go in first. I can't control this hub for long; we must hurry."
Upon hearing Zhu Fei's words, Kong Yuan and Meng You glanced at each other, not doubting Zhu Fei's intentions at all, and immediately nodded simultaneously.
Watching the ethereal passage behind Zhu Fei, they suddenly flashed together and in an instant, disappeared from Zhu Fei's sight!
Seeing this scene, Zhu Fei did not waste any more time. Supporting the hub with Immortal Essence for half a breath more, he also flashed instantly into the misty passage behind him.
As if a ripple passed by, when Zhu Fei stabilized himself again, he was astonished to find that he had arrived in a spacious hall.
And standing beside him were Kong Yuan and Meng You.
"Brother Ye, Brother Kong, look over there, what's that?"
At this moment, Meng You's slightly joyful voice suddenly came through.
Following the direction Meng You pointed to, Zhu Fei and Kong Yuan turned their heads to look, only to discover that in that place, a misty medicine garden was gradually emerging!
"This...?"
Zhu Fei and Kong Yuan were first stunned, then overjoyed.
Zhu Fei, who was most sensitive to changes in various Array Formation Restrictions, almost immediately discovered that the misty medicine garden in front of them was gradually revealed as a result of the Array's energy being insufficient.
This also perfectly explained why they could see a medicine garden despite evidently being in a hall now.
