Acai's Sky

★Alchemy Room Shocking Changes·Star Skeleton Guarding

Passing through the milky white light gate, the space was instantly transformed. Instead of the imagined glittering jewels and seas of gold and silver, what greeted me was an extremely complex and majestic aura.

The rich and indissoluble essence of plants and the fragrance of elixirs, which seemed to have been accumulated for thousands of years, should have been refreshing, but now it was like rotten sweet wine, mixed with a disgusting, strong and pungent smell of blood and a cold, sticky and malicious spiritual pollution!

This mixed aura was like an invisible poisonous miasma, trying to penetrate every pore and corrode the soul.

The air was heavy and sticky, and every breath felt like swallowing mud mixed with rust.

Before my eyes was an unimaginably huge dome space, vast enough to accommodate a mountain.

Supporting the dome are twelve jade pillars with coiled dragons that reach from heaven to earth. The jade is warm and smooth, and dragon scales are recognizable, but they are dull and lifeless. There are dried dark red stains on the dragon's eyes, which exude an ominous feeling.

In the center of the space, a giant tripod like a small mountain stands tall—the Mountain and River Jade Tripod!

This tripod is neither gold nor jade, and its entire body is a chaotic blue-gray color. The body of the tripod is naturally engraved with a vast scroll of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers, as if refining a world within it.

However, at this moment, these scrolls were covered and eroded by countless dirty, dark red blood vessel-like energy veins that were wriggling and climbing like living things!

Instead of flames, the mouth of the cauldron swirled with a foul black mist as thick as ink, constantly changing and distorting its appearance, mixed with a glaring scarlet glow of blood! The source of that suffocating mixed aura was precisely this cauldron!

The energy fluctuations emitted by the Jade Tripod were vast and majestic, but full of chaos, pain, and violence!

The body of the cauldron trembled slightly, and every vibration caused the entire space to buzz. The blood vessel-like veins swelled and contracted, like a giant beast breathing, spewing out more dirty blood mist.

And next to the Jade Tripod, lurks the ultimate guardian of this place—or rather, a polluted and twisted monster!

It was an indescribable star dragon!

Its body is forcibly formed by the combination of countless broken star cores, twisted metal components, the white bones of monks, and... solidified, strangely colored elixir residues!

The huge body is as winding as a mountain, covered with irregular, angular and hideous dark "scales" - in fact, they are fragments of star debris compressed to the extreme.

From the gaps between the scales, sticky, dark purple pus that glitters like stardust but emits a foul odor continuously seeps out.

Its head vaguely resembled a dragon, but half of its face was white bones, and the other half was covered with wriggling, proliferating dark red tumors. A huge single eye was embedded in the center of its forehead. That was not an eyeball, but a polluted dark star core with countless tormented souls struggling and wailing inside!

Deep in the core, one can vaguely see the shadow of a key with a nine-colored halo and an ancient and mysterious shape - the Jade Tripod Secret Key!

The aura of this star-skeleton dragon is even more terrifying than the golden armored guards protecting the treasures in the Nine Palaces Locking Key Formation!

It is not just a collection of physics and energy, but also a mixture of resentment, pollution, guardian obsession and the malice of the Lord God!

The huge single eye slowly turned, its gaze was cold, chaotic, and full of pure malice towards all living beings. It was like a real ice cone, fiercely piercing Acai and his group who had just stepped into the alchemy room!

"Warning! Extremely high concentrations of 'Star Debris Distortion Aggregate' and 'Spiritual Pollution Source' detected! Energy level...peak lord! Pollution index exceeds safety threshold! Immediate evacuation recommended!"

As soon as Tong Jiaqi's scanning beam touched the dragon, a weak force field that resisted erosion instantly appeared on the alloy shell of her body. For the first time, the cold mechanical sound was accompanied by the rapid noise of electric current.

"Zhizhi——!!!"

Lucky Golden Rat Jin Yuanbao's reaction was completely opposite.

It wasn't fear, but rather a state of extreme frenzy! Its golden hair stood on end like needles, and its ruby ​​eyes were wide open, practically oozing blood!

It stared intently at the depths of the Jade Tripod, its small body trembling violently as it let out a sharp, piercing hiss: "The key! The secret key! And... and... inside the Tripod! What a fragrance! What a fragrance! More fragrant than everything outside combined! It's a supreme elixir! A true immortal elixir! Ahhhh——!"

Its extreme sensitivity to the treasure's aura became a double-edged sword at this moment. The contaminated essence of the true elixir left by Jade Ding Zhenren inside the cauldron had a fatal attraction to it, almost overwhelming its sanity and making it rush towards the cauldron of death regardless of everything!

It suddenly jumped out and headed straight towards Yu Ding!

"Boss! Come back!"

The Di Tu Raccoon·Golden Raccoon had sharp eyes and swift claws. It suddenly pounced and slammed its sleek body into the gold ingot, and the two little beasts rolled into a ball.

The golden raccoon dog held down the frantically struggling gold ingot tightly, its small eyes filled with shock and greed, but more of it was clear-headed fear:.

"What a smell! That's poison wrapped in sugar! Don't you see that giant? It can turn you to dust with just one sneeze!"

Its perception of energy was equally sharp, and it could clearly "see" the soul-destroying filth wrapped around the brilliance of the divine elixir in the cauldron.

"woo woo woo woo……"

The performance of the mythical beast 朏朏·Tuantuan was the most painful.

Its pure and flawless big eyes were instantly covered with a layer of gray, its body curled up into a ball, trembling violently, and whimpering like a wounded cub.

The ubiquitous resentment, pain, and violent spiritual pollution are like billions of poisonous needles, piercing deep into its most sensitive soul!

The auspicious white light around it flickered violently, like a candle in the wind, desperately resisting erosion and trying to dispel the approaching filth, but it seemed extremely difficult.

Its pure origin is suffering the most direct and vicious blasphemy and attack!

"Roar--!!!"

The divine beast Tengu Feiyue lets out a deafening roar!

The silver moon mark on the forehead was brighter than ever before, and the condensed "Eclipse Fang" beam instantly locked onto the Star Skeleton Dragon's huge single eye, which was made up of the core of a dark star!

It felt an unprecedented threat, and the instinct to protect its master made it enter the most violent fighting state. Its silver-white hair stood up like steel needles, and a low, destructive thunder rolled in its throat.

The Black Tortoise, Xuantian, was floating beside Acai. The star map on its shell was spinning frantically at an unprecedented speed, trying to deduce the key to breaking the deadlock. However, the light of the star map was dimmed by the erosion of the polluted aura.

"Master, the core of this evil is the symbiosis of the 'Dark Star' and the 'Jade Tripod Secret Key', and the pollution has penetrated deep into its origin. If it is forcibly stripped off, it may cause self-destruction, and both the jade and the stone will be destroyed!" Xuantian's voice was heavy.
