Chapter 646: 294: The Earth Magma Core, Black Wind Crystal (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Below the abyss-like fracture, the hot magma churned, radiating intense heat and a dark red glow, rolling up thick black smoke.
The black and red poisonous gas spreading above the crack eroded the True Strength outside Jack Clark’s body, making a sizzling sound.
Whoosh! The black and white Mecha belched out scorching air waves from behind, carrying Jack Clark on its shoulders as they flew towards the opposite side of the fracture.
As soon as the two entered the range of the black fog and poisonous gas from the Void, the corrosion surged, and Jack’s body’s golden flame erupted to counter the Void Energy, creating a booming sound.
Gabriella’s Mecha’s energy shield consumed even more rapidly, with the eight fully loaded energy slots visibly dropping at a speed discernible to the naked eye.
In the middle of the cliff shrouded by the poisonous gas, there was a cave entrance a hundred meters high and several dozen meters wide. An almost category 10+ typhoon howled here, forming a vortex.
Bang! The heavy Mecha shattered the vortex, resisting the raging wind and rushing into the cave for a few hundred meters before stopping.
“According to the radar wave detection and image synthesis, there are two main pathways detected, one going up and one going down. Should we split up or stick together?”
Jack Clark said in a deep voice, “Let’s explore separately, it’s getting dark, and we don’t have much time. Also be careful, we’ve delved deep into the ruins.”
“I know,” the two said as they separated.
Fighting against the 10+ category typhoon, Jack Clark charged upwards towards the pathway a hundred meters high, his heavy battle boots shattering rocks with every step he took.
This truly was a relic, with traces of past buildings everywhere, but these structures were almost entirely weathered and destroyed due to the constant erosion of the strong winds over the years.
Thus, Jack Clark found nothing on his way up and quickly came upon a huge stone platform at the top of the spiral cave.
In the midst of the raging wind, Jack Clark picked up a black iron block from a corner, and with just a slight effort, the once solid steel cracked like brittle stone.
“There’s something wrong with these winds,” Jack’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up.
In the center of the cave’s top was a black hole about twenty meters in diameter, pitch black, from which substantial winds roared out, a mighty force to be reckoned with.
In these winds, Jack felt a special power that was somewhat similar to the ‘wind’ controlled by Scythia.
Bang! The stone platform collapsed, and under the strong rebound, Jack turned into a streak of golden light and rushed into the wind tunnel, immediately followed by a terrifying impact.
Boom! Jack’s dazzling golden radiance erupted, clashing hard against the almost substantial black tornado, resulting in explosive booms and blasting out rings of gold and black radiance.
Squeezed and concentrated by the cave, these winds were terrifyingly powerful, almost comparable to an attack from a Sixth Heaven cultivator, and they were relentless and endless.
Even Jack had to unleash all his True Strength in this situation, his radiance erupting and forming a thick half-meter golden red scale armor shield under the amplification of his Dragon Blood Battle Armor.
Amidst the booming explosive impacts, Jack resisted the black raging wind, climbing upwards at an astonishing speed, much like a gecko scaling a wall.
Having rushed upwards nearly a thousand meters, he suddenly came upon a peculiar internal part of the mountain.
It resembled a honeycomb, with black rocks hanging down sturdier than alloy, forming a circular staircase with wind holes one to two meters wide around it.
In the center of these holes, a person-sized spiral crystal slowly rotated, with waves of law emanating from it, drawing the violent winds from between heaven and earth.
“Indeed, it’s a wind-based resource, and it contains the charm of laws,” Jack murmured.
Though he had anticipated that there would be a wind-based resource here, he hadn’t expected it to be a God-level resource not inferior to the Mysterious Yellow Stone. Even Jack was somewhat surprised and delighted by this discovery.
It was just what he needed to complete the last attribute of his ‘world’s’ four elements.
In comparison with the Soul Suppressing Seal he had obtained by slaying the Dark Angel just yesterday, today’s exploration of the ruins was almost effortless, without the slightest hindrance of restrictions.
No, actually, today he also had eliminated an eight-level creature, the Polluted Giant Beast that Gabriella had lured away.
And as Jack stored the wind-based Divine Crystal, Gabriella stood on the edge of a man-made circular Magma Pool deep in the caves.
“Judging from the detected high-energy fluctuations, the item should be in that Magma Pool,” Gabriella said.
With that, she pulled out the huge sword from behind her Mecha, activated the energy, and formed an energy blade about five meters long along the edge, whipping up a wild wind and slashing fiercely at the edge of the Magma Pool.
Boom! With a powerful strike, the thick ten-plus-meter black rock wall at the edge of the Magma Pool shattered, creating a ten-meter-wide, hundred-meter-deep crack.
Immediately, the churning magma inside roared down, gushing out through the cracks, quickly turning the entire cave into a sea of fire and magma, emitting intense heat.
Standing in the sea of fire, Gabriella excitedly looked at the center of the Magma Pool. There, a 1-meter diameter core akin to the core of a planet emitted rings of radiance.
“The Earth Magma Core is still intact,” Gabriella said with a radiant smile.
Just like Damon Lopes’s purposeful search for the residence of the Lord of Thunder, Gabriella braved the dangers to delve thousands of kilometers into the ruins with a goal in mind.
On the Ruins Continent, there once existed a special sect that forged extraordinary weapons and armor. The sect was located at the center of the Longhuan Mountain Range, within Sharp Mountain, where the forging energy originated from an eternally burning Earth Magma Core that possessed endless scorching power.
This type of elemental core was a treasure for Mech Martial Practitioners and could theoretically act as an eternal power furnace. Once incorporated into her Mecha, Gabriella would no longer be lacking in energy.
