The deeper one went into the Crystal Labyrinth, the more intricate and convoluted it became.
The entire White Dwarf Star resembled an enormous diamond honeycomb. Every cell had once been a prosperous town or village. Some had long since been stripped bare, while others still retained relatively intact ruins.
Now that Xu Zhi possessed the bloodline inheritance, the oppressive force of rejection was instantly eliminated. All that remained to resist was the increasingly dense elemental ocean and electromagnetic storms.
He continued deeper.
