This spear of divine light appeared to be swift and sharp, but in reality, it was nothing like that in Ding Meng's eyes. It was as if Buddha's Five Finger Mountain was crashing down from above. Ding Meng could see a majestic image of the Milky Way. It was boundless, and its aura was all-encompassing. The terrifying energy pressure it exuded was enough to cause pain to the eyes.
This general's remnant consciousness was even more powerful than Guan Wuming's Demons. It was hard to imagine just how powerful the general's Origin Energy Index had been when he was alive. Even in the human world, his Origin Energy Index would have been in the tens of trillions at the very least. Right now, the might of this spear of divine light was in the hundreds of billions.
Ding Meng didn't dare to be careless. He pushed his eight Origin Stones to their limits and pushed his palms toward the sky. A massive crown-shaped shield enveloped the altar, enveloping the two of them within.
Ji Chenxue had already closed her eyes. The massive amount of energy and intense light was not something she could withstand.
With a thud, the top of the shield gave off a soft sound, as if a woodpecker were peeling off a tree.
Ding Meng was stunned. A crack had appeared on the shield from his opponent's attack. The crack expanded with a ripping sound, and the sharp tip of the spear drilled into the shield.
Not good!
Ding Meng hurriedly activated his ten Origin Stones.
With a crisp clang, the shield immediately shattered. It was as if countless spirit butterflies were dancing in the void.
A battle of this level couldn't possibly be exhausting at all. Both sides would be defeated in a single move.
Just as Ding Meng was about to receive the attack with his bare hands, the spear of divine light suddenly expanded dozens of times, filling up half of the abyss. This was no longer a spear, but rather an interstellar missile that could traverse space. It was basically a super ball of light that came crashing down.
Ding Meng's reaction was extremely fast. He quickly activated the Smelting Space, mobilized the Singularity and Essence Origin, and slammed his palms onto the light sphere. His intention was clear — to absorb energy!
In Ji Chenxue's vision, Ding Meng on the altar looked like he was holding up a falling planet, and he was not holding it steadily, because Ding Meng was retreating step by step. The energy overflowing from Ding Meng's body made the air around him crackle, distorting space and light.
It seemed that Ding Meng couldn't take it anymore. First, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of white blood. Then, a shockwave spread out from Ding Meng's body.
"Boom!" There was an earth-shattering explosion. Ji Chenxue's vision was distorted. She was blown away on the spot. Moreover, she flew hundreds of meters and fell directly into the abyss.
Oh no!
Ding Meng couldn't care less about his injuries. He quickly activated Ai Ji's technique and used the Bright Spirit to gather energy. His body turned into a whirlpool.
At this moment, the light pupil changed back into the form of a spear. With a "Chi" sound, it pierced through Ding Meng's right shoulder. Ding Meng spread his wings of light and flew into the abyss like lightning. He reached out his hand and picked up Ji Chenxue, who had fainted.
When Ding Meng flew back to the central altar, the strange thing was that the general was the first to stop. He waved his hand and the spear left Ding Meng's shoulder. Ding Meng was in so much pain that he almost fainted. If it weren't for Ai Ji's technique, he would have definitely died in this mysterious place.
It turned out that this was the true power of the Divine Light warriors in the human world. No one could compete with them.
The giant figure of the general appeared on the ground. He nodded slightly and said, "Excuse me. I didn't expect you to be a warrior of Ai Ji. My Mou Xing Civilization has always followed Ai Ji Xing Nation. If you want to see the Elder, please feel free to do so!"
After that, the general's mirror image started to fluctuate. It shrank back into the form of a three-pointed star. The three-pointed star also turned into a fog and turned into a whirlpool teleportation array. It seemed that this teleportation array would lead directly to where the Great Elder was.
Ding Meng sat on the ground and gasped for breath. Ji Chenxue, who had just woken up, was frightened. Although she was in a temporary coma, her senses were still there. If it weren't for Ding Meng sacrificing himself to save her, she would have been shattered. It was also because he tried to save her that Ding Meng was hit by the spear.
Ji Chenxue immediately took off his necklace and put it on Ding Meng's neck. The necklace had a very good self-healing function. The bloody hole in Ding Meng's shoulder was slowly recovering.
"I am a burden to you!" Ji Chenxue said apologetically.
Ding Meng waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's not a big problem!"
Although he said that, Ji Chenxue could see that Ding Meng's breath was still declining. He was already in a weakened state. Now, he was even weaker. If it weren't for Ai Ji's ability to gather energy quickly, that spear would have nailed Ding Meng to the ground.
The necklace flashed with a green light. It was not only healing the wound on his shoulder, but it was also infusing green light into Ding Meng's palm. It was obvious that his palm was injured when he blocked the general's spear.
Ji Chenxue felt even more guilty. "You shouldn't have brought me here. My experience is too shallow compared to yours."
Ding Meng said, "Don't worry. I don't have the habit of abandoning my companions!"
Ji Chenxue's heart was suddenly filled with warmth. She had heard many people say the same thing before. However, Ding Meng was really a man of his words. Moreover, he was willing to risk his life at the most critical moment.
"I'm very fortunate to be able to be your companion!" Ji Chenxue said softly.
However, Ding Meng's eyes dimmed at this moment. "That's not necessarily true!"
Ji Chenxue frowned and asked, "Why?"
Ding Meng said, "Did you see the telepathic thoughts that I sent to you on the bridge?"
Ji Chenxue also felt sad. Of course, she had seen it. There were so many people who were worthy of praise and tears. Zheng Ming, Qiao Gu, Yu Xingyang, Long Yao, Uncle Niu, the little girl, the protector, Ding Meng … They were all Ding Meng's companions in the past. They had all died tragically. Only now did she understand the meaning of Ding Meng's words. It was because of his insignificance and powerlessness in the past that he caused the deaths of his companions. However, now that he had the strength, he would never abandon any of his companions.
At this moment, his external injuries were almost healed. However, his internal injuries would not be healed in a short time. Ding Meng struggled to stand up. "Come, let's go in!"
Ji Chenxue said with concern, "You're already injured like this. Do you still want to go in?"
Ding Meng took a deep breath and said, "We're already here. There's no turning back. Don't worry. Even if we have to leave, we'll leave together!"
Ji Chenxue nodded and took the initiative to support Ding Meng as they walked towards the teleportation formation.
Another flash of white light flashed before their eyes. This was the fourth teleportation. What appeared in front of them was no longer an abyss. Instead, it was a sealed room. However, it looked more like a secluded palace.
The palace was not big. It was only about a thousand square meters. However, the four walls were made of exquisite brown stone slabs. All kinds of runes and patterns were engraved on them. They were exactly the same as the stone formations in the center of the small island in the middle of the lake. It seemed like they had arrived at the core of the underground world.
There was a throne in the center of the palace. The Grand Elder sat on it. He exuded a majestic aura. The entire palace was suffused with a brown light, making the Grand Elder look even more solemn.
However, upon closer inspection, the two of them realized that this was only the Grand Elder's clothes that were placed on the throne. The Grand Elder himself was nowhere to be seen. Most importantly, this was unlike the Divine Light General that they had encountered before. The Grand Elder's belongings did not emit any aura at all.
"Where's the Grand Elder?" Ji Chenxue could not help but ask.
A deep voice immediately rang out from within the palace. "The Grand Elder has already perished!"
"Who's there?" Ji Chenxue immediately became alert.
At this moment, a white dot appeared on the left side of the throne. However, a black dot appeared on the right side of the throne. The two dots of light flickered at the same time. They formed the Divine Light Singularity in the shape of a cross-shaped star and a smoke-like black smoke. However, the black dot was still clearly visible in the center of the smoke.
"A Magic Light Singularity?" Ji Chenxue exclaimed in surprise.
The black dot said in a hoarse voice, "Hehe, you have a good eye!"
Ding Meng was also surprised. A Divine Light Singularity and a Magic Light Singularity had appeared at the same time. This was the first time he had encountered such an inconceivable situation.
However, he was still able to perceive it. "You can coexist?"
The Divine Light Singularity's voice was more serious. "Yes, we can coexist. But, strictly speaking, we are only a wisp of the Grand Elder's will."
The Magic Light Singularity's tone was more excited. "Gods and demons are originally one family. For you to be able to arrive here, it seems you aren't ordinary people. Do you need me to explain this truth?"
Ding Meng nodded. "Indeed, there's no need."
The Divine Light Singularity suddenly said, "Very good. After waiting for so many years, the martial artists of Divine Light were the first to arrive. Moreover, this aura actually belongs to Star General Glory and General Starmist. My Mou Xing Empire can still be saved."
The Magic Light Singularity wasn't too happy. "It's already been tens of thousands of years. What is there to save? Isn't it better to join our Demon Sky Empire?"
The Divine Light Singularity disdainfully spat out, "What nonsense. Trash will always be trash!"
The Magic Light Singularity laughed. "Are you angry again?
You've been angry for tens of thousands of years, so what's the point?
The Elder might already be one of us. You are nothing but a wandering ghost. Sorry, but you don't even count as a wandering ghost. "
The Divine Light Singularity angrily said, "Even if I don't count, what about you?
Haven't you come out now? Just wait for your death! "
The Magic Light Singularity said, "I don't want to argue with you. There's no meaning to it at all. You're just wasting my precious time!"
The Divine Light Singularity said, "Do you think I want to argue with you?"
… …
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue looked at each other. This was an unprecedented and strange occurrence. Neither of them had spoken and the two singularities had actually taken the initiative to quarrel.
Ding Meng probed, "You two, what is going on here?"
The Magic Light Singularity said, "If you came to find the Elder, then you came to the right place."
Ding Meng said, "Didn't the Elder already die?"
The Magic Light Singularity proudly said, "Who told you that the Elder died?"
Ding Meng was stunned. "Could it be that the Elder didn't die!?"
The Divine Light Singularity explained, "From the point of view of you humans, the Elder is indeed dead. Moreover, he has been dead for a very long time."
The Magic Light Singularity also explained, "But from the point of view of us Demons, the Elder's mortal body has only perished. His spirit body still exists."
Ding Meng tensed up once more. The General Divine Light's remnant will outside was already so terrifying. If the Elder's spirit body was still here, then even ten of him might not be his match.
The Magic Light Singularity smiled. "Don't be nervous, little boy. The Elder's spirit body isn't here."
"Then where is he?" Ji Chenxue hurriedly asked.
The Magic Light Singularity said, "Outside!"
"Outside?" Ji Chenxue didn't understand.
The Divine Light Singularity said, "He is in your human world. Strictly speaking, it is your Federal Empire or the Devouring World Frogman Kingdom. In any case, he is in this main galaxy. It's just that no one knows where exactly he is."
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue were completely confused. Just what was going on here?
