supreme deity

Chapter 750: Spiritual Ice Crystal
The Yunshang Palace actually covers a large area, about 2/3 of the size of the Lihe Palace.

Its shape is mysterious and magnificent, suspended in the dark void within the sky, as if it is a product of the interweaving of reality and illusion.

The outer wall of the Heavenly Palace is even more stunning. It seems to be made of flowing liquid metal, and the surface sparkles with a rainbow-like luster. Sometimes it is as smooth as a mirror, and sometimes it is as turbulent as waves.

The 'Wuji Temple' located in the center seems to be a product that completely violates the laws of physics. It is composed of countless twisted metals and root auras interwoven together. Its outline is constantly twisting and reorganizing in the void, as if it is redefining its own form every moment, emitting a breathtaking light.

Countless long knives were embedded in the walls, pointing at every intruder from afar, as if they could penetrate the soul of anyone who invaded.

The gate is a huge whirlpool that seems to be able to swallow everything and crush everything.

However, this forbidden method is useless to Lin Rui, who controls the law of purity and the supreme divine weapon.

Lin Rui flicked his sleeves, unleashed his conceptual divine power, and protected the four women behind him as they broke into the vortex of the gate.

Countless tiny sword auras instantly erupted from the vortex. Each sword aura was filled with the aura of the root and the dangerous conceptual power of the Wuji Dao Zun, but they were unable to shake Lin Rui's power in the slightest.

Luo Wangshu entered the hall safely under Lin Rui's protection. He then raised his eyebrows and looked at the huge throne above the hall in surprise: "Is the Origin Stone inside?"

This throne is also made of countless twisted metals interwoven with the power of the root, full of mysterious and majestic aura.

What concerned Luo Wangshu was that the root aura of this throne was much stronger.

This entire Supreme Temple clearly incorporates a large number of derivatives of the root - the root stone!
The content of the root stone in this throne is particularly high, and the material is almost close to the previous fragment of the Abyss God Monument imitated by Purgatory.

In other words, this huge throne, which is more than 6 meters long and wide, is also a large piece of top-level refining material.

However, the root aura here is so strong that it’s a wonder that Wuji Daozun can stay here.

"Before Master ascended to godhood, in order to avoid being found by the gods, he had to collect a large amount of root stones and integrate them into his heavenly palace. This could also protect him from the gods. Only the rich and pure root power could make them a little wary."

Liu Xinlan's eyes dimmed, and she thought that this was also the reason why her master fell into the root cause so quickly.

Lin Rui turned his gaze towards the knife floating beside the huge throne.

The blade of this knife is also slender and smooth, with a layer of flowing silver light patterns covering the surface, as if it contains endless energy. There is a naturally condensed spiral dragon pattern on the spine of the knife. The dragon seems to be alive, flowing slowly on the spine of the knife, exuding a captivating pressure.

Lin Rui thought that this should be the Wuji Daozun's personal weapon, the 'Gufa Tiandao'. It is said to have 79% 'Gufa' and 78% 'enhancement'.

This artifact is said to have originated from the essence of an 'extremely immortal' war dragon.

Most of the abyss artifacts on Tianji Star are derived from the abyss source essence and abyss source core of martial artists, and very few are man-made products.

The purpose of these immortals and abysses doing this is to maintain their own existence to the greatest extent possible.

Lin Rui raised his hand and summoned the 'Solid Law Heavenly Blade' in front of him, then glanced at Luo Wangshu: "Master?"

Luo Wangshu shook his head: "This thing is just icing on the cake for me, it's not of much help."

She already possesses 62% of 'limit' and 'strengthening', 58% of 'solidification' and 'growth', and 69% of 'refining' and 'sublimation'. However, she is currently limited by her fundamental martial spirit of 'idealism and egoism', which has not reached the immortality level, so she cannot improve.

These are all conceptual powers that she can use freely. Under the integration of Luo Wangshu's fundamental martial spirit of 'idealism and selflessness', the actual power they exert is actually no less than that of the 'Solid Law Heavenly Sword'.

Therefore, the help this artifact provides to her is really minimal.

What's more, Luo Wangshu had long been eyeing Ge Xianshan's super artifact 'Supreme Divine Heart', which was the thing that was truly suitable for her.

Luo Wangshu had been searching in Purgatory for nearly a year using various methods, and had actually basically locked down the location of the cave on Gexian Mountain.

However, the inner-earth purgatory world is shrouded in the divine power of the three gods of purgatory, especially the Lord of Darkness, whose sensing ability is extremely terrifying.

Luo Wangshu couldn't find a suitable opportunity to go deep into Purgatory and retrieve this super artifact.

Lin Rui nodded slightly, then waved his long sleeves and presented the 'Gufa Heavenly Sword' to Liu Xinlan.

"This Abyssal Divine Artifact will be temporarily in the hands of Senior Liu."

The two conceptual powers of this 'Solid Law Heavenly Sword' are indeed quite suitable for Liu Xinlan's own Wanhua Fa, and can maximize her combat effectiveness.

However, all the achievements Liu Xinlan had made since joining his army were not worthy of Lin Rui's bestowal of this divine sword.

Liu Xinlan was certainly the key to Lin Rui's finding the Supreme Heavenly Palace, but it was Wang Sen and Professor Han who were willing to risk their lives and work hard in the dark underground for more than half a year to find this place.

Liu Xinlan showed no dissatisfaction upon hearing this. She took the 'Gufa Heavenly Sword' with a touch of surprise and a grateful bow, saying, "Thank you, Master! Liu Xinlan will live up to your grace of rebirth and gift of the sword."

She is open-minded, free and easy.

After Lin Rui got the knife, he first went to his master, and there was no problem with that.

What's more, Lin Rui's ability to bring her back to life was already a great favor like being her second parent.

The fact that she can now wield the magical weapon left by her master is a blessing she never dared to imagine before.

Liu Xinlan knew that although Lin Rui said that he wanted her to take charge temporarily, he was actually giving the sword to her. As long as she could make enough achievements, the sword would belong to her.

Liu Xinlan held the knife in her hand and stroked it gently, with a sharp gleam in her eyes.

Perhaps because of his surging emotions and difficulty in controlling himself, sharp blade lights appeared around him, cutting tiny cracks in the surrounding ground.

"Hmm?" Luo Wangshu looked at this scene, and a strange light suddenly appeared in his starry eyes.

She originally thought that Senior Liu's heart of Taoism had collapsed.

This person may have been hunted by the gods for more than 1000 years and suffered countless betrayals, which is why he was cautious and conservative, very unconfident, and had lost the spirit of self-improvement and perseverance.

In Senior Liu's case, even if her soul is repaired, her future is very limited. At best, she can reach the weak immortality level, and it will be difficult to go any further.

But now it seems that this senior has simply restrained his sharp edge and claws, and Liu Xinlan's heart of Taoism is still as solid as a rock.

Lin Rui then looked towards the center of the hall.

There stands a jade tripod about six feet high. It is crystal clear and exudes a warm luster. The relief carvings on the tripod are lifelike, with mountains, rivers, birds and beasts on them. Every detail is exquisite, like a carving by nature, as if it captures the spirit of all living things. It is so beautiful that it takes your breath away.

There is also a medium-sized altar below, about 20 meters in radius. The altar is still in operation, emitting a brilliant light.

Lin Rui thought that this should be the legendary abyss artifact 'Ningyuan Cui Shending', which is said to be able to absorb scattered soul power and water elemental spirits from the sky, condense and extract their essence.

This item produces a 'Spirit Extraction Ice Crystal' every ten years, which can greatly enhance a person's spiritual strength and repair soul trauma. In the past, the core disciples of Wuji Daozun benefited from this and their spiritual strength was extremely strong.

This is also the most valuable thing in Yunshang Palace besides the two magic swords.

At this time, it has been 2800 years since the death of Wuji Daozun!
When Lin Rui opened the lid of the cauldron, his eyes suddenly lit up. Inside this 'Ningyuan Cuishen Cauldron' was a large pile of colorful ice crystals.

These ice crystals are about the size of a baby's little finger and are shaped like hexagonal icicles. Each side is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a dreamy light.

Even a powerful martial artist like Lin Rui can sense the extremely pure and tranquil soul power within.

Lin Rui scanned and sensed with his mind, and identified that the total number of these 'Spirit Extracting Ice Crystals' was 340. The extra 60 should be the auxiliary increase from the altar.

Luo Wangshu looked very surprised, with a strong sense of joy on his face.

She originally thought that these 'Spirit Extracting Ice Crystals' should also be contaminated with a strong aura of the root.

Although the power of 'Root' can help people integrate martial will into the root and into the sky, thereby completing the conceptualization of martial will, it can also preserve and solidify the concept, and is an excellent material for artifacts. However, if it is integrated into the body and soul, it would not be appropriate.

Wuji Daozun, who was completely contaminated by the root, is a lesson for us.

However, this is only for those of them who have the hope of immortality or even reaching the abyss. For ordinary people and the vast majority of martial artists, this is still of great benefit.

However, the spirit-enhancing ice crystals produced by this 'Ningyuan Cuishen Ding' are very pure, without any trace of the origin's aura.

Of course, it’s okay if they get contaminated, because there is a ‘Lord of Purity’ standing beside them who can help with the purification.

"The rumors about the 'Ningyuan Cui Shen Ding' are indeed true. The soul power here is indeed condensed and pure!" Lin Rui thought that although today's trip to Purgatory had involved considerable risks, the harvest did not disappoint him at all. It was truly a bountiful harvest.

What Lin Rui lacks now is the power of his soul, which is the key to his fight against the erosion and pollution of the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable.

He then flicked his sleeves and picked out 40 'Spirit Extracting Ice Crystals' from the cauldron, distributing them to the four women behind him: "You can take them according to your ability."

This Spirit Extracting Ice Crystal is indeed a divine object. Lin Rui estimates that one of them can increase the overall mental strength by 50,000 to 30,000 points, but the effect will decrease thereafter and will decrease to below 3,000 points.

After Liu Xinlan got the 10 'Spirit Extracting Ice Crystals', she couldn't help but clench her hands tightly, and her heart felt extremely excited.

This 'Spirit Extracting Ice Crystal' means more to her than just enhancing her spiritual power. It can also repair her battered spiritual essence, allowing her to cash in on her 1600 years of accumulated martial arts skills before her death in battle.

She achieved the status of a super divine envoy within 160 years, but stagnated for more than 1600 years. Until her death, her cultivation level was still at the super divine envoy level.

This is because her soul was severely damaged and she was unable to continue conceptualizing her martial intent.

Ji Xueying and Shangguan Tianyi were equally happy.

They also tightly grasped the colorful ice crystals in their hands.

This is their hope for rapid advancement in the future and to further carry Lin Rui's divine power.

Both women knew the inside story of Lin Rui's body and knew that a brutal battle to determine Lin Rui's life or death was about to begin.

Although both of them have extremely high talents and understanding, they can't expect to have the power to interfere in the battle between gods in just a few years.

However, as long as their souls and their physical strength can keep up, they will be able to carry more of Lin Rui's concepts and more divine power.

Luo Wangshu put his hands behind his back with great interest and said, "Lend me this tripod so I can study it."

This 'Ningyuan Cuishen Ding' has 82% condensation and 83% extraction, and has many similarities with Luo Wangshu's conceptual power.

In addition, only when this thing is in her hands can the 'Spirit Extracting Ice Crystal' be extracted at the fastest speed.

"If Master wants it, just take it. Why ask to borrow it?" Lin Rui said as he turned his eyes around.

This is where Du Zunlong practices and lives, and it is also the place where the Wuji Daozun avoids the perception of the gods, so there is a strong atmosphere of life here. Not only are there a lot of miscellaneous items piled up on both sides of the hall, there are also more than 20 bookshelves and medicine racks, which store a large number of elixirs and books.

These things are also tainted with a strong aura of the abyss.

Lin Rui looked at these things, as well as the four walls that were integrated with the Root Stone, with a strange look in his eyes and a slight curl of his lips.

The five of them then stayed in this heavenly palace above the clouds for more than three quarters of an hour before their consciousness left the heavenly palace and returned to their bodies in the underground palace.

They also brought down a 'Ning Yuan Cui Shen Ding', two magic swords, and a lot of other things.

Inside the Heavenly Palace there is a teleportation array based on the principle of curvature, which can teleport things directly to the Underground Palace.

However, this formation has been damaged for a small part and cannot function.

Lin Rui spent a lot of time repairing this formation, otherwise these things would not have been brought down directly and would have required a lot of effort.

At this time, eight modified armored escort satellites were hovering in front of the underground palace.

This is a satellite escort ship specially equipped by Ruifang Group for the expedition team. It can provide fire support for the expedition team, as well as daily personnel and transportation supplies.

Normally these ships are hidden outside the ground and only enter the depths of Purgatory when carrying out transportation and missions.

And they can only stay down there for a while to avoid being illuminated by the high concentration of purgatory light, which would cause the birth of metal life inside the hull.

Wang Sen summoned these armored escort satellites to prepare for evacuation.

When Lin Rui regained consciousness, Wang Sen ordered all personnel to board the ship as quickly as possible.

They abandoned most of the armored vehicles and special equipment vehicles directly and left them in the underground palace, taking only mechas, combat robots, a small number of special equipment vehicles and heavy artillery.

This is because the space inside the escort satellite is limited, and it can only carry the truly valuable equipment.

The subsequent evacuation process went smoothly. Although the Changsheng-class people who were watching from the side were eager to move, they did not move in the end. In the end, they just watched this small fleet start the curvature navigation mode, pass through the earth layer, and enter the Tianyuan Channel.

However, when the fleet rose to 70,000 miles above the surface in the Tianyuan Channel and began to prepare for the quantum migration mode and directly jumped out of the sky, Lin Rui's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, the surrounding void suddenly cracked into thousands of blood marks, and a pair of eyes burning with dark blue flames appeared from the void.

Under the gaze of these eyes, all the crew members of the six ships felt as if their souls were being devoured and chewed up, and their hearts were in immense pain.

Lin Rui's mind was focused, and he pressed his hand on the knife eye to show Rui Ze: "Lord of Devouring!"

——This is the second abyss he faces today!
