Luo Qingchen’s eyes flashed with a determined light: “It seems that the thing we’re looking for is down there!”The chasm was bottomless, exuding a terrifying aura that made one’s heart pound, as if some ancient fierce beast lay dormant within. No grass grew at the edge of the chasm, only some twisted, metal-sheen vines grew stubbornly.
“There might be great danger down there.” Lin Wan’er warned.
“Fortune favors the bold.” Luo Qingchen’s gaze was firm, “Since the Star Map guides us, we shall go down and take a look.”
He led the way, with Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan following closely, the three of them cautiously climbing down the steep rock wall into the depths of the chasm.
Within the chasm, the light was dim, the air thick with a smell of sulfur and the increasingly violent Star Energy. As they descended further, they discovered that the bottom of the chasm was actually a wide underground space, at the center of which stood a massive altar constructed from countless irregular Star Crystal Stones!
On top of the altar, starlight swirled, energy surged, and at the apex of the altar, a palm-sized, irregularly bordered, bronze metal fragment shimmering with dim starlight floated silently!
“Another fragment of the Star Map!” Luo Qingchen and the others exclaimed with delight!
This fragment was larger than the combined five pieces they had obtained earlier, and the ancient runes inscribed on it were even more complex and mysterious!
Just as Luo Qingchen was about to step forward to take the fragment, a deafening roar suddenly came from behind the altar!
“Roar——!”
Immediately, a massive demonic beast, as large as a hill, covered entirely with thick black armor, and with three huge, glowing blue flames of eyes on its head, stepped out from the shadows with heavy steps!
With each step the beast took, the entire underground space trembled, and an overwhelming, suffocating pressure filled the air. Its strength had clearly reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, and there were faint signs of it breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!
“It’s… it’s the Meteorite Demon Spider!” Su Xiaowan’s face turned pale with fright, and her voice trembled. She had read about this kind of demonic beast in some ancient tomes, it was one of the top predators in the Meteorite Pit, incredibly ferocious!
Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er also looked extremely grave. They hadn’t expected that this fragment of the Star Map would have such a powerful guardian beast!
A fierce battle was now unavoidable! And at this moment, a few hidden glances from above the chasm also noticed the commotion below, one of which was filled with Zhao Mingyu’s resentment and greed!
Luo Qingchen and his companions braced themselves warily, the three enormous blue eyes of the Meteorite Demon Spider locked tightly onto them, saliva dripping from its hideous mouth parts, corroding the ground with a hiss of white smoke.
“Brother Luo, this big guy doesn’t look… very friendly.” Su Xiaowan swallowed, her small hand unconsciously gripping the Turtle Shell.
Lin Wan’er’s Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power surged as she spoke in a deep voice: “With its peak Golden Core stage, half-step Nascent Soul strength, be careful of its Three-Eyed Demon Fire and spider silk!”
Luo Qingchen’s eyes were as sharp as torches, the Black Dragon Sword already in hand, Chaotic Power ready to be unleashed: “Wan’er, you focus your attack on its left compound eye, which seems to be the weak point where the Demon Fire gathers. Xiaowan, use talismans to disrupt it and take care of yourself. If you get the chance, use the Turtle Shell to protect the altar.”
“Understood!”
“Alright… okay!”
Just as the words were spoken, the Meteorite Demon Spider launched its attack! The middle eye suddenly shot out a blue fire pillar, carrying a soul-burning, bone-eroding terrifying heat, directly at Luo Qingchen’s face!
“Good timing!” Luo Qingchen advanced instead of retreating, the Chaos Sword Technique·Guard instantly unfolded, a solid grey sword curtain erected in front of him.
Boom!
The blue fire pillar slammed into the sword curtain with a deafening roar, sparks flew, the entire underground space shook violently. The sword curtain trembled intensely, its color dimmed somewhat, but it ultimately managed to block the attack.
“Now’s the chance!” Luo Qingchen shouted lowly.
Lin Wan’er’s figure moved like lightning, her longsword gleaming with azure light, the Heavenly Origin Sword technique transformed into a sky-full of sword shadows, striking directly at the left giant eye of the spider.
“Screech!” The spider let out a piercing screech, the left eye spewed Demon Fire, but Lin Wan’er agilely dodged it, several strands of Sword Qi successfully striking the eyelid, splattering some dark green blood.
Su Xiaowan, not one to be underestimated, threw several “Slow-down Talismans” and “Chaos Talismans.” Though only slightly affecting the spider, they caused its movements to hesitate slightly.
The spider, pained, went into a complete rage. Its eight grotesque giant legs stomped fiercely, causing countless sharp black spikes to protrude from the ground. Simultaneously, its right eye flashed brightly, and an extensive web of blue appeared out of thin air, descending upon the three of them.
“Oh no, it’s the Netherworld Prison Net!” Lin Wan’er exclaimed, recognizing that this web was not only exceptionally tough but also carried strong corrosive and restraining effects.
Luo Qingchen’s eyes focused sharply: “Break!”
The Chaos Energy on the Black Dragon Sword surged, and an exceptionally concentrated grey Sword Light soared into the sky, the Chaos Sword Technique·Sky Splitting! The Sword Light collided with the web, erupting in a dazzling brilliance, tearing a huge gap into the web, though the Sword Light was completely spent.
Seizing this opportunity, Luo Qingchen flickered and appeared at the edge of the altar. The fragment of the Star Map was now within reach, emitting a tempting ghostly light.
“Roar!” Seeing this, the Meteorite Demon Spider simultaneously spewed Demon Fire from all three eyes, three fire pillars of different attributes (soul-burning, bone-eroding, chaos) interweaving and hurling straight towards Luo Qingchen, intent on reducing him to ashes.
“Brother Luo, be careful!” Su Xiaowan yelled, reflexively unleashing the Turtle Shell. The Turtle Shell expanded with the wind, instantly forming a profound energy shield, just barely blocking the attack behind Luo Qingchen.
