Chapter 2848: Stars, World Tree?
The two Blood Shadows left, and Su Yang pondered for a moment before suddenly following the hexagonal Blood Shadow.
The irregularly shaped Blood Shadow was known to Su Yang as being from the previous star.
Following the hexagonal Blood Shadow, Su Yang mainly wanted to see where it actually came from.
Of course, Su Yang also released a stream of power, sending it to Ye Wantong in the distant sky, so they could follow from afar and avoid getting lost.
The hexagonal Blood Shadow didn’t seem concerned about Su Yang following him and flew ahead.
After flying for about a month, a star appeared ahead.
Su Yang’s eyes widened; this hexagonal Blood Shadow indeed also came from a star!
The hexagonal Blood Shadow flew nearby the star and directly entered a cave on its surface.
Su Yang hesitated for a moment before following him inside.
The two Blood Shadows seemed to bear no hostility towards him, so Su Yang was curious to see what the Blood Shadow was doing in the cave.
The situation inside this cave was similar to the cave Su Yang had visited on the previous star, extending to this star’s core area. Inside the star, there was nothing but energy, which was causing this star to emit light.
Inside the cave, there was also a small house, where the Blood Shadow hid.
Su Yang stood in front of the small house and stared at the Blood Shadow for a while, but the Blood Shadow didn’t make a sound.
Su Yang was puzzled. What was the situation with this Blood Shadow? Why did it viciously attack the Eternal Divine Emperor and Supreme Dragon Emperor, yet showed no hostility towards him? Even as Su Yang intruded into its domain inside the cave, it didn’t intend to attack him. What was going on?
"Who exactly are you?" Su Yang asked again.
The Blood Shadow didn’t respond, as if it hadn’t heard Su Yang speak.
Su Yang took a step forward, "I am a Heavenly Warrior of the Human Clan. We are enemies of the Guardian God, and we fight for the Human Clan. Are you part of the Human Clan or the Guardian God?"
Still no response. The Blood Shadow just stood in the house, revealing nothing of its situation.
"Why aren’t you speaking? Can’t you talk? Or can you not hear me?" Su Yang frowned.
There was no change; the Blood Shadow stood there.
Su Yang had already entered the house by then, but the Blood Shadow showed no intention of resisting.
Su Yang looked around the room, similar to the previous star cave, empty and devoid of anything.
After staring at the Blood Shadow for a while, Su Yang suddenly struck it lightly.
The Blood Shadow dodged effortlessly but didn’t counterattack, as if reluctant to fight Su Yang.
Su Yang was even more puzzled. What was going on here? He had attacked provocatively, yet this Blood Shadow still didn’t resist? Why did it seem to tolerate him so well?
"Who exactly are you?" Su Yang said grimly, "If you remain silent, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Again, no response. Su Yang furrowed his brows and suddenly increased his power to seventy percent, delivering a heavy blow to the Blood Shadow.
The Blood Shadow again dodged the strike, but this time Su Yang’s strike shattered the stone wall beside them.
What truly stunned Su Yang was that the stone wall only broke into pieces and didn’t cause much damage.
It’s crucial to note that Su Yang’s strike carried seventy percent of his power and could utterly shatter a huge star.
Although this star was equivalent to a Great World, enduring Su Yang’s strike should have been capable of destroying a large portion of its interior.
The result was only a few shattered pieces of the stone wall, which left Su Yang bewildered. Was the power of his strike really so weak?
With perplexity, Su Yang moved over, picked up the debris from the stone wall, and examined it carefully. Amazed, he found that the surroundings were not stone, but made of wood.
The most critical part was that the wood’s material was the same as that of the World Tree!
Su Yang previously possessed a wooden box made from the branches of the World Tree, and he was particularly familiar with its material. This wood’s material was indeed the same as the World Tree’s!
"How can this be?" Su Yang couldn’t help but exclaim. Why would this place have an area constructed from the branches of the World Tree?
Persisting in confusion, Su Yang swiftly inspected the other stone walls, discovering they were all similar. These stone walls were made from the branches of the World Tree.
Could this stone chamber have been made by a strong individual with the World Tree?
Then what is the matter with this Blood Shadow? Is it the strong individual who made this stone chamber?
Su Yang looked at the Blood Shadow. Although he had aggressively attacked it earlier, the Blood Shadow still showed no sign of retaliating. It remained standing at the side, without revealing any thoughts, quietly as if uninterested in anything.
Su Yang originally intended to inquire about the origin of these World Tree branches. However, he ultimately refrained. This Blood Shadow, either incapable of hearing others speak or simply unwilling to communicate, wouldn’t disclose any valuable information.
"Forget it!" Su Yang sighed and exited the stone chamber, ready to return and meet up with Ye Wantong and the others.
But after only a few steps, Su Yang suddenly paused. He noticed the stone walls behind the Spiritual Source were somewhat similar to the stone wall of the previously mentioned chamber.
Could these stone walls also have been made from the branches of the World Tree?
Su Yang immediately flew over to observe closely and was astonished to find that the stone walls behind the Spiritual Source were indeed made from the World Tree’s branches.
"Why is it like this?" Su Yang’s eyes widened, as he flew around the cave to inspect all areas. He found that, apart from the Spiritual Source, the rest of the place was entirely wooden with the same material as the World Tree.
Su Yang was dumbfounded. If only the previous stone chamber, he could have accepted it; after all, constructing that chamber wouldn’t consume much of the World Tree’s branches.
But now, considering the star as a whole, half of it made from the World Tree’s branches was difficult to accept.
To construct such a vast star, how many branches would need to be taken from the World Tree?
Su Yang clearly knew that only a portion of the World Tree’s branches had been cut down by the Human Emperor, used merely to create those three wooden boxes and keys.
No one had taken a large amount of branches from the World Tree, nor could anyone form such a massive star.
Moreover, Su Yang had found not just one star like this, as there was another star similar to it previously.
Two stars this large—how many branches from the World Tree would have been consumed?
