The depths beneath this ground were bizarrely deep. I rapidly descended several hundred meters, yet there was still no sign of reaching the bottom.
An Tu had already withdrawn the Nine Heavens Starfall and charged straight down after me, firing several Star Arrows in rapid succession along the way. Yet every one of them passed through my body, unable to inflict the slightest damage.
"You'd better not come out of the Starry Sky Mist Sea! Otherwise, it'll be your death the moment you do!" An Tu already hated me to the bone.
That was understandable. After being toyed with by me time and again, could the reputation of this Great Cosmic Heaven still be salvaged?
The cavern was actually enormous. Judging from the scratches along its edges, it had probably been excavated by some part of the Star-Devouring Dragon's body, solely for storing treasures.
After all, the Star-Devouring Dragon couldn't possibly stand guard here at all times. So, to store true rarities, the entire underground space naturally had to be dug extremely deep.
It was only after descending roughly a thousand zhang that we reached the bottom. Precious ores, star artifacts, and the remains of star beasts were scattered everywhere across the ground.
An Tu kept his eyes fixed on my afterimage without so much as glancing aside. Only after another sneak attack failed did he inspect the surroundings from the corner of his eye.
"Great Cosmic Heaven An Tu, stop staring at me all the time. There are rare treasures everywhere around us—pick up a few and cheer yourself up. Maybe you'll even forget the unpleasantness between us. Why waste time here? By the time that old dragon returns, I'm afraid none of us will get anything good." While taunting him, I swept the area with Heaven-Earth Origin Suppression.
