Chapter 465 Crushing the Main Altar [4000 words]

After making the arrangements, the Heavenly Dao's gaze swept over everyone, and the invisible pressure caused the star energy in the air to tremble slightly.

"Remember, prioritize your own safety. If you encounter a powerful enemy that you cannot defeat, immediately send a distress signal, and I will rush over to provide support."

Before he finished speaking, he turned and walked toward the entrance to the third underground level of the core area, with Caroline following closely behind.

Meanwhile, others also began to act quickly.

Jing Liuli, leading more than ten elite team members, sped towards the central square in their unique star-energy flying vehicle.

The aircraft's engine sliced ​​through the night sky, leaving a faint golden trail.

Chen Kong, accompanied by Anqin and Isabel, used the Void Rune to eliminate their presence and moved like ghosts through the alleys in the west of the city, heading towards an abandoned star energy mine.

Let's look at Tiandao and Caroline's side first.

The entrance to the third underground level was blocked by a heavy alloy door, engraved with complex abyss patterns and radiating a dense black energy, clearly a defense set up by the Tianyuan Organization.

Just as Caroline was about to step forward to solve the problem, Heavenly Dao raised its hand to stop her.

"No need to bother."

Tiandao spoke calmly, gently tapping the alloy door with his finger.

An invisible vector force field instantly penetrated the alloy door and precisely acted on the core of the abyss pattern on the door.

With a crisp crack, the seemingly solid patterns on the door instantly crumbled, and the black energy receded like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, with a slight push of his palm, the heavy alloy door was easily pushed open as if it were a piece of paper, without even making a sound.

Behind the door, a deep passage stretched into the darkness. At intervals along the walls on both sides of the passage, there was an abyssal crystal that emitted a dark red light, making the passage look extremely eerie.

"It seems that these crystals are the key to maintaining the stability of the channel's energy, while also interfering with star energy detection."

Caroline explained that a large amount of quantum data flowed through her eyes, rapidly analyzing the energy structure of the crystal.

Although he knew the reason, Heaven didn't care at all and walked straight into the passage.

The vector force field around him naturally spread out, and the dark red light that was about to touch him was instantly distorted and annihilated. The abyssal crystals along the way shattered into powder under the influence of the vector force field, and the darkness in the passage was dispelled by the pale golden force field light.

In just a few dozen seconds, the two reached the end of the passage, where a huge underground space appeared before them.

In the center of the space, a black main altar, more than ten meters high, stood there.

The entire altar was made of an unknown black rock, its surface engraved with dark red patterns that were more complex than those on the surface of the previous subspace projection. Thick abyssal energy flowed within the patterns, converging into a black pillar of light that shot straight to the top of the underground space and connected to the star energy core area above.

Around the altar, more than ten core members of the Tianyuan Organization, dressed in black uniforms, stood. They were all Star Envoys of Level Two or above, radiating violent abyssal energy. One of them had even reached the peak of Level Three.

Upon seeing Tiandao and Caroline burst in, the Tianyuan Star Envoys immediately surrounded them.

"Stop them! We absolutely cannot let them destroy the main altar!"

A leading member of the Tianyuan clan roared and activated his Star Source, materializing a giant black axe that cleaved towards the Heavenly Dao.

The other members also launched their attacks, with black star energy bullets, sharp bone blades, and eerie abyssal vines attacking the two from all directions. The dense attacks almost covered all the space where they could hide.

Just as Caroline was about to activate the AI ​​Star Energy to construct a shield, the Heavenly Dao gently waved its hand.

An invisible vector force field instantly spread out, enveloping all the incoming attacks.

Those seemingly fierce attacks were all distorted by the vector force field, either crashing into the wall and exploding or colliding and canceling each other out. None of them could get within a meter of the two people.

"Useless resistance."

The Heavenly Dao spoke coldly, and with a light tap of its finger, an invisible force field blade shot out instantly, accurately hitting the star core of the leader.

The member froze instantly, the light in his eyes dimmed rapidly, and his body slumped down; the star core had been completely destroyed.

Upon seeing this, the other Tianyuan members' expressions changed drastically, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes, but they still gritted their teeth and persevered, launching an even more frenzied attack.

The Heavenly Dao was too lazy to get entangled with them, so it raised its hand and made a feigned press towards the crowd.

The large-scale vector force field suddenly contracted, firmly binding all Tianyuan members to their original positions. The star energy within their bodies was forcibly suppressed, making it impossible for them to launch any further attacks.

"Let's go."

Tiandao turned to look at Caroline, his tone indifferent, as if he had just dealt with a few ants.

Caroline nodded in response, ignoring the bound members around her, and followed the Heavenly Dao straight toward the main altar.

The dark red patterns on the main altar seemed to sense the danger, and their light became even more dazzling, while the flowing abyssal energy became even more violent.

The next second, a black energy barrier suddenly rose around the altar, attempting to block the approach of the Heavenly Dao.

"You think this level of barrier can stop me?"

The Heavenly Dao sneered and threw a punch.

There was no dazzling light, only a pure vector force field condensed on the fist, slamming hard against the energy barrier.

boom!
With a deafening roar, the black energy barrier shattered instantly like glass, and a violent energy shockwave spread outwards.

However, all of this scattered energy was firmly blocked by the vector force field of the Heavenly Dao, and did not cause any damage to the surrounding area.

Immediately afterwards, Tiandao leaped to the top of the main altar and raised his hand to press down on the energy core in the center of the altar.

That place is the energy hub of the entire main altar, radiating the most concentrated abyssal energy.

boom!
The Heavenly Dao's vector force field operated at full power, forcibly surging into the energy core of the altar.

The dark red patterns on the altar began to fade and crack rapidly, and the flowing abyssal energy was forcibly torn apart and annihilated by the vector force field.

In an instant, the main altar emitted a mournful buzzing sound and began to shake violently, with fine cracks appearing on its surface.

Caroline stood below, watching this scene in silence.

The Heavenly Dao has now forcibly dismantled the energy core of the main altar using only physical strength.

His strength clearly far surpasses that of ordinary Calamity-level powerhouses.

As the energy core of the main altar was completely destroyed, the dark red patterns around it disappeared, and the black pillar of light also dissipated.

The main altar, having lost its energy support, began to collapse little by little, eventually turning into a pile of rubble.

As for the abyssal energy remaining in the underground space, it was completely devoured and annihilated by the vector force field of the Heavenly Dao, and the air returned to its pure state.

"solved."

The Heavenly Dao landed on the ground and spoke into the communicator, its tone still calm.

Then, the camera shifted to Chen Kong and the others.

The abandoned star energy mine has been deserted for many years. The mine is pitch black, and the air is filled with faint dust and abyssal energy.

Anqin, surrounded by a pale purple astral energy, precisely sensed the fluctuations of the abyss's energy, leading Chen Kong and Isabel deeper into the mine.

"I can feel strong abyssal fluctuations; the altar should be just ahead."

Anqin said in a low voice.

After turning a corner, a small black altar appeared before them. Five members of Tianyuan stood around the altar, one of whom was a Level 3 Star Envoy, whose strength should not be underestimated.

"I didn't expect there to be some who slipped through the net." Chen Kong's eyes narrowed, and he immediately activated the Void Rune to eliminate his and Isabel's presence. At the same time, he said to An Qin, "You stay in the back and be careful."

"Ok?"

The third-level star envoy sensed the anomaly, let out a cold snort, and his abyssal energy surged as he unleashed a black energy wave toward the direction where Chen Kong and Isabel were hiding.

Chen Kong pulled Isabel to dodge quickly, and the energy wave slammed into the wall, blasting open a huge crater.

"Isabel, freeze their movements with absolute zero!"

"Dust in the sky!" Chen Kong shouted.

Isabel nodded, her ice-attribute star energy surging at full power, causing her body temperature to plummet and a pale blue chill to sweep towards the five Tianyuan members.

"not good!"

The third-level star envoy's expression changed, and he tried to activate his star energy to resist, but the cold air was too fast and instantly enveloped them.

Before the four Level 2 Star Envoys could react, their bodies were frozen into ice blocks, rendering them unable to move.

Only the third-level star envoy managed to break free from the freeze thanks to his powerful strength, but his movements became much slower.

"It's now!"

Chen Kong seized the opportunity, activated the Void Rune, and a silver-white line shot towards the Level 3 Star Envoy, accurately hitting his star core.

The third-level star caused the star energy within the body to become instantly disordered, and the effects of the abyss energy were forcibly eliminated.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Kong rushed forward, copied Isabel's Absolute Zero Star Source, and threw a punch. The pale blue cold air condensed into a fist and slammed it hard into the chest of the Level 3 Star Envoy.

"puff!"

The third-level star envoy spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backward, crashed heavily into the wall, and he lost consciousness.

After dealing with the Tianyuan members, Chen Kong looked at Isabel.

"Let's do it."

Isabel nodded, stepped forward, and raised her hand to release absolute zero star energy towards the small altar. The pale blue chill instantly covered the altar, freezing the abyssal energy on it and causing the patterns on it to crack.

Dust Void activated the Void Pattern again, completely eliminating the remaining abyssal energy.

"The altar in the abandoned mine has been destroyed."

Chen Kong spoke into the communicator.

Compared to Chen Kong's side, Jing Liuli's side went much more smoothly.

Although there were also members of Tianyuan guarding the altar in the central square, their strength was generally weak.

The elite team led by Jing Liuli consisted of Star Envoys of level two or above. They worked together seamlessly, and with Jing Liuli's dream abilities, they quickly defeated the guards.

With Jing Liuli personally taking action, the energy core of the altar was destroyed, and everything was completely resolved.

All three altars were destroyed, and the last trace of abyssal energy remaining above the Martial Capital was completely dissipated. The star energy of the entire floating city returned to normal operation, and the previous shaking and strange phenomena all disappeared.

Tiandao and Caroline walked out of the third underground level and met up with Chen Kong, Isabel, Anqin, and the Jing Liuli team.

An unexpected communication was transmitted to the Heavenly Dao's data terminal.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face on the terminal screen, Tiandao revealed a strange expression.

He then tapped the screen, and a cheerful voice came from it.

"As expected, you're much more capable than I thought. You solved it so quickly?"

"You flatter me, Chairman."

The Heavenly Dao spoke calmly.

That's right, the one who contacted the Heavenly Dao at this moment was none other than Grand Master Ennet.

Looking at the calm and composed Tiandao on the screen, Ennett's eyes held a hint of approval.

"Heavenly Dao, your performance this time was outstanding. Your strength has far surpassed that of other Star Envoys of the same age, and even many veteran Calamity-level powerhouses are not as good as you."

"What kind of reward do you want? After all, in a sense, you saved a very important city in the New Federation."

"There's nothing I particularly want."

The Way of Heaven remained as languid as ever, appearing utterly without desire or ambition.

Because he knew very well that the waters of the Martial Arts Capital were very deep.

Even if he doesn't take action, it's almost impossible for the so-called 'Tianyuan' to destroy the Martial Capital.

Not to mention the 'four clans' rooted in the Martial Capital.

The seemingly harmless but actually calamity-level star beasts disguised as administrators in the Tianwu training base alone would be enough to wipe out the minions sent by Tianyuan.

Therefore, in the eyes of Heaven, Tianyuan's actions today are more of a test than a real attempt.

Only the lowly clerks carrying out the plan thought it was some kind of grand scheme.

Ennett seemed unsurprised by Tiandao's answer. He smiled and said again, "Alright, I'll have the others plan it out properly and give you a satisfactory reward."

"Furthermore, based on the interrogation results, we have pinpointed the exact location of the Tianyuan Organization's headquarters. It is located deep within the 'Meteorite Ruins' of the old era, where there is a stable abyss passage, which is the core stronghold of the Tianyuan Organization."

"Headquarters has decided that you will lead a team to the Meteorite Ruins to completely destroy the headquarters of the Tianyuan Organization."

Meteorite Ruins?

The Heavenly Dao had seen records of the Meteorite Ruins in ancient books. Not only was the environment harsh, filled with turbulent stellar energy currents and dangerous relics from the old era, but it was also inhabited by powerful abyssal creatures, making it one of the seven recognized forbidden areas of the floating cities.

Perhaps worried that the Heavenly Dao was underestimating the other party, his tone gradually became serious.

"Heavenly Dao, the Tianyuan Organization has been operating there for many years and has a huge influence. Moreover, there are many Calamity-level experts stationed there. Even you may not be able to gain much advantage."

"Although this mission is extremely dangerous, only by completely destroying their headquarters can we eliminate the threat forever."

"Headquarters will assign you the most elite Star Envoy squad to fully support your operations."

"understood."

Heavenly Dao nodded and asked, "When do we depart?"

"Meet at the Star Envoy Association headquarters one month later."

"As for this period of time, you should prepare well."

"clear."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ennet hung up the communication with Tiandao.

Through this phone call, the viewers on Station 13 also learned where Tiandao and the others were going next.

As expected, it was the so-called meteorite ruins.
