Chapter 1107: Chapter 1107
With Earth’s current technology, flying into space and landing on the Moon is quite an easy task. However, space is cold and silent, devoid of anything, so apart from fulfilling a moon-landing dream, there is no real significance in coming here.
But, since there are many cultivators on Earth, and also many bored people, some cultivators landed on the Moon to check in, and thus discovered the problem of pollution.
"Sister Lin, you just stay on the Immortal Dao Battleship. I’ll grant you access; with your cultivation, entering space with your physical body is still quite dangerous." Li Yi looked at the endless universe outside. He stood up, preparing to leave the Immortal Dao Battleship.
"Li Yi, flying the battleship to the Moon at this hour is a bit risky, isn’t it?" Lin Yue asked with concern, "The pollution issue should be communicated with the Earth authorities to gather some information, preferably with a team action."
"I’ll just investigate the situation and won’t be reckless. Sister Lin, don’t worry," said Li Yi.
"If you encounter any danger, you must retreat immediately," Lin Yue said seriously.
Li Yi nodded, "Okay, if there’s danger, I’ll leave. Remember, no matter what happens, don’t leave the Immortal Dao Battleship; it can protect you."
After giving a few instructions, he opened the cabin door and went out.
A strong sensation of weightlessness along with a terrifying decompression swept over his body. The cold space had no temperature whatsoever, enough to easily freeze a person into an ice sculpture.
But that was for ordinary people.
Li Yi, a cultivator who has become divine with his physical body, had thunder instead of blood running through his veins. He’s no longer considered a carbon-based life form, and his breathing was about absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, not air.
So, regardless of how harsh the space environment was, he could survive.
Soon, Li Yi’s mana surged, divine power enveloped him, and all discomfort was immediately dispelled.
He stepped on mysterious light and headed straight for the Moon, but he didn’t go to the front of the Moon; instead, he went to the north side because he could already feel that the aura of pollution was emanating from the north side of the Moon.
This is a place humans can’t easily investigate.
However, as Li Yi glanced over the Moon, he saw many traces left by cultivators, and there was even a soda can there. Who was so bored to have a picnic on the Moon?
Indeed, where there are many cultivators, there will always be some bizarre things.
"The pollution issue is indeed serious. I can feel it; this aura of pollution uses the Moon as the core, with the Sun as energy, projecting it onto the entire Earth."
Li Yi descended from space, with divine power flowing around him, lightning entangling him, like a divine being on the move.
He observed around him at this moment, immediately discerning some secrets,
After all, even if Li Yi has not read many books and lacks cultivation knowledge, he can instinctively understand some of heaven and earth’s mysteries, knowing the operation of this grand array.
Li Yi stopped in his tracks, seeing a massive creature’s remains on the Moon’s surface ahead. The remains were pale, as if eroded by unknown forces, but the remains were special; even in death, they were well-preserved, and the harsh environment of space could not destroy them.
"That’s the remains of a dragon."
As Li Yi’s gaze swept over it, his expression immediately froze.
A True Dragon perished on the north side of the Moon.
Did this True Dragon accidentally enter here and die, or was it deliberately killed by the entities who set up the pollution array back then?
But judging by the size of the dragon’s remains, Li Yi could determine that this True Dragon’s strength in life was definitely terrifying.
Continuing to investigate forward.
Li Yi saw other mythical creatures’ remains. There was a massive dried bird corpse embedded in the desolate ground, feathers withered, flesh gone, but he could be sure this bird corpse was definitely not an ordinary creature; it should be the legendary Phoenix.
"Dragon remains, Phoenix corpse... what exactly happened here before?" he pondered silently.
Too much time had passed, making it impossible to trace back what happened. All traces had been erased by the mighty power of the universe’s operation.
But the further he walked, the more severe the pollution’s aura became.
Even though Li Yi’s mana gathered around him and divine power flowed, the aura of pollution continued to erode him.
Even with his current strength, it was . If other cultivators came, they’d likely be completely contaminated, and who knows what would happen then.
"The power of pollution almost blocks my perception; if I release my Primordial Spirit Power, it will immediately be eroded too. The situation here is so bad that I can’t stay long."
Li Yi didn’t plan to stay long, deciding to circle around, and if there was no discovery, he would return.
However, after he passed the dragon remains, walked over the Phoenix corpse, and proceeded a bit further, traces of man-made roads began to appear on the ground.
Stones identical to lunar material paved a road, extending all the way to somewhere.
But the moment Li Yi stepped on it.
The ground bulged, and stones shattered. A pale, withered hand suddenly reached out from beneath, trying to grab his ankle, but Li Yi immediately sensed something amiss, instantly rising up to avoid that withered hand.
"Hmm?" Li Yi frowned.
A silver lightning suddenly appeared in space, striking precisely.
The power of this blow was not weak, enough to shake the entire Moon.
But due to the grand array’s protection, Li Yi’s powerful strike only split open a piece of ground, blasting out a scorched pit, without the expected destructiveness.
However, within this scorched pit, a gray-white withered remains crawled out slowly, its hollow eyes emitting a dark glow, and its mouth spewing a strong aura of pollution.
"An ancient cultivator."
Li Yi glanced at these remains; their clothing was not of modern times, from long ago, so much that it exceeded any era he was familiar with.
This indicates that in the past, there was likely a cultivation era on Earth, where cultivators appeared, and now it’s just after the End of Dharma, Spiritual Energy has revived again, and these things are likely remnants from the previous era.
This ancient corpse had been buried on the Moon’s far side for who knows how many years. Now awakened, it carried strong malice, and its entire body was soaked in the aura of pollution; this aura turned into power, supporting the ancient corpse’s actions.
But the ancient corpse seemed to lack spiritual wisdom, with only an evil instinct, its body swaying as if it couldn’t even stand steadily. The most update n0vels are published on n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Li Yi did not underestimate it, but instead became serious.
"Let’s test this ancient corpse’s quality." His body flashed and instantaneously disappeared from where he stood.
Li Yi instantly arrived in front of the ancient corpse, delivering a punch, the Dragon and Tiger Power roaring, divine power flowing throughout his body. This strike was enough to shake heaven and earth, and without the grand array’s protection, it could have shattered the entire Moon.
The ancient corpse instinctively reacted, extending its withered arm to deliver a palm strike towards Li Yi.
A certain evil aura embedded within erupted, seemingly mobilizing the grand array’s power on the Moon; countless polluted forces congregated together, bursting out instantly with unexpected might.
The power of pollution clashed with the One God’s divine power on the Moon’s far side, and the massive energy waves surged through the universe.
The Immortal Dao Battleship, hovering from afar, was affected by this energy, almost blowing it away.
In the clash, Li Yi remained motionless.
Yet the ancient corpse’s arm right in front of him shattered, evidently inferior to Li Yi, unable to defeat him.
But Li Yi wasn’t happy.
Because he saw that the ancient ground ahead began continuously bulging, seemingly because his appearance had utterly disturbed many ancient remains slumbering here. These remains were awakened by the power of pollution, beginning to emerge one after another.
Some remains radiated power even several times stronger than that of the ancient corpse earlier.
