Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060 Immortal Aura?

 

Fang Yu and Su Changgé moved extremely fast, taking very little time to pass through the two to three kilometer long tunnel and exit through the opening.

Seeing the scene before him, Su Changgé trembled all over, his face turning pale.

This place was no longer dark, but filled with light.

As soon as they walked out of the cave, they were confronted by an enormous face!

This was a statue!

Its features were extremely bizarre, with vertical eyes. Below the eyes were three large mouths!

The statue’s material gleamed like metal, with a faint bronze color.

The face’s surface area was at least twenty to thirty square meters!

It was truly a gigantic face!

“Is this… is this… the Kitchen God statue of Black Stone Village?” Su Changgé asked, breathing rapidly.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at the enormous statue, his gaze flickering as he said, “Not necessarily the Kitchen God…”

As he spoke, Fang Yu looked around, observing the space they were in.

This space was completely sealed, with the only entrance and exit being that kilometers-long cave tunnel.

Within this space, candles hung on the surrounding rock walls, emitting light that illuminated the entire area.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu walked forward.

This statue was incredibly large, as tall as a seven or eight-story building in a modern city, and several meters wide.

The material used to cast this statue appeared extremely hard.

How was such a massive statue forged?

Could it have been done by those mindless corpse tribe creatures?

Fang Yu pondered these questions as he walked around to the side of the statue.

Only then could he see the side of the statue.

It was another face!

The appearance was identical to the face on the front!

“Two faces?” Fang Yu frowned and continued walking around.

Then, he saw the body of the statue.

Like an ordinary quadruped beast, it had four limbs at the back and a tail.

The difference was that its body looked incomplete, with many areas showing gaps.

“Boss… what exactly is this statue?” Su Changgé asked.

“This should be… exactly what we’re looking for,” Fang Yu said.

“…What!?” Su Changgé was stunned, extremely surprised.

“This statue should be the ancient alien race about to awaken,” Fang Yu said, looking up at the statue’s second face with narrowed eyes. “To be precise… this monster is likely the leader of the corpse tribe.”

“…So what should we do now?” Su Changgé asked, staring wide-eyed at the statue before them.

“Simple, destroy it, then leave,” Fang Yu said.

After speaking, Fang Yu leaped up, flying to the front of the statue’s large face.

In reality… Fang Yu didn’t believe this was a statue.

It was just a way to preserve a physical body, similar to freezing.

This alien creature had been preserved this way for countless years, until today.

In another day or two, it would restore its physical form and see the light of day again.

“The awakening of alien races… perhaps most happen this way,” Fang Yu thought. “As long as they’re destroyed in advance, there’s no possibility of awakening.”

While contemplating, Fang Yu raised his right palm, aiming at the monster that gave off a faint metallic glow.

“Boom!”

A blast of true energy struck directly at that ugly and bizarre large face!

“Rumble…”

The explosion echoed throughout the entire space.

However, not even a single crack appeared on the enormous statue before him.

Fang Yu’s attack seemed to have caused no damage to the statue whatsoever.

“As expected, there’s an external force protecting it,” Fang Yu thought, his eyes flickering.

The moment his true energy hit the statue, he clearly saw a faint glow appear on the statue’s surface.

This layer of light completely blocked the true energy Fang Yu had released.

Therefore, the statue itself naturally wouldn’t suffer any damage.

This external force… Fang Yu had sensed it since entering Black Stone Village.

It was as if some entity wanted to protect Black Stone Village… or rather, wanted to protect the alien race that hadn’t yet awakened.

What this entity was, Fang Yu didn’t know, and couldn’t figure out for the moment.

But now… he only needed to do one thing.

That was to break through this force, then directly destroy the monster statue before him.

Fang Yu thought for a moment, looked down at Su Changgé, and said, “You go back to the cave first.”

“Okay!” Su Changgé came to his senses and quickly ran back.

Fang Yu pointed his right palm at the statue in front of him and silently recited an incantation.

Domineering Palm!

An overwhelming surge of true energy blasted toward the statue.

The surface of the statue once again emitted a faint glow.

“Rumble…”

The powerful energy exploded, spreading outward.

Even Fang Yu was sent flying back some distance by the blast.

The entire space was shaking!

Yet the statue before him remained unmoved!

Even the Domineering Palm couldn’t break through that barrier!

“If true energy won’t work, then I’ll just smash it directly,” Fang Yu charged toward the statue.

Arriving before that ugly large face, Fang Yu clenched his right fist.

“Whoosh!”

His fist emitted a golden light.

He threw a punch!

A barrier appeared again on the surface of the large face.

Fang Yu’s fist struck directly against the barrier!

“Boom…”

A deafening sound exploded.

The barrier’s light flickered, seeming to tremble.

Fang Yu’s fist was pushed back some distance by the recoil.

“Fifty percent power isn’t enough, let’s try eighty percent,” Fang Yu’s gaze turned sharp as he took a deep breath and threw another punch!

“Rumble!”

The barrier appeared again.

But this time, it seemed unable to withstand the power of Fang Yu’s punch, showing violent tremors!

Fang Yu didn’t stop, pulled back his fist, and struck again!

“Bang!”

With the third punch, the entire barrier collapsed with a crash!

But the moment the light screen dissipated, it released an extremely terrifying power.

The aura contained within this surge of power made Fang Yu’s pupils contract sharply.

This aura… was similar to holy power, yet different.

It was more profound and more pure!

Fang Yu had sensed a similar aura years ago when he met his master and senior brother at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage.

But even his master and senior brother, who were half-step immortals, didn’t possess an aura as profound as what he now faced.

“Is this… the aura of an immortal?”

Fang Yu was blasted backward by this power, crashing heavily into the rock wall behind him.

The rock wall shattered, and Fang Yu’s body was embedded into it.

But at this moment, his attention wasn’t on his current situation; his face was filled with shock.

If his senses weren’t wrong, the power released when the barrier broke contained… the aura of an immortal!

And the barrier’s purpose… was to protect this corpse tribe monster that had not yet awakened.

In other words, was there an immortal protecting these alien beings?

Or perhaps, these alien races… were left behind by some immortal?

But why would they do this?

The emergence of alien races was a deadly blow to the human race.

Was there an immortal who hated their own origin, and thus wanted to destroy humanity?

Wait…

Fang Yu had another thought… immortals weren’t necessarily all human.

If the corpse tribe also had beings who achieved immortality, then this phenomenon could be explained…

But the corpse tribe, as a group, mostly lacked intelligence, making the possibility of one ascending to immortality extremely slim.

What was really going on?

Fang Yu thought back and forth but couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation.

“Rumble…”

At this moment, the entire space was rumbling.

The power released when the barrier collapsed had struck the surrounding rock walls.

Rocks were flying and dust was rising.

Fang Yu came back to his senses and shook his head.

The concept of immortals was too distant for him; he knew absolutely nothing about them.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t come up with an answer.

Besides, that aura from earlier might not have been an immortal’s aura at all.

After all, any cultivator who remained on Earth couldn’t possibly have encountered an immortal.

The records about immortals in history were all based on imagination, without real examples or evidence.

Fang Yu was just making conjectures based on his previous knowledge.

“Bang!”

After dismissing other thoughts, Fang Yu flew out from the concave rock wall.

After the defensive barrier dissipated, the statue ahead no longer possessed any defensive capabilities.

“Sorry, but you won’t live to see your awakening day.”

Fang Yu’s eyes turned cold as he charged toward the statue.

In an instant, he arrived before the large face, clenched his right fist, and struck fiercely!

“Boom!”

Countless cracks appeared on the large face in an instant.

The cracks spread rapidly from the statue’s face to its entire body.

“Crack!”

The entire statue exploded with a crash!
