No matter how violently the ground shook, the construct Legion remained silent.
They advanced steadily into the depths of the beast nest.
The torrent of specialized constructs rolled steadily over the contaminated, crystallized ground, producing a constant crushing rumble.
Ahead was no longer an open wasteland or labyrinthine caverns.
The terrain suddenly sloped downward, forming a massive incline that led deep underground.
The rock walls on either side of the slope had been completely covered in corrupted flesh.
Those dark-purple vessels pulsed slowly like living things, constantly secreting thick, foul-smelling fluids.
Eternal Frost's Wrath Fortress hovered roughly three hundred meters above the Legion.
Its underside shifted into silent hover mode.
At that height, it resembled a giant holding one raised foot several dozen centimeters above the ground, bringing immense pressure to the area of terrain torn apart by artillery fire.
As a nested demiplane, Eternal Frost's Wrath Fortress had entered a different world upon reaching this area.
The sky overhead had vanished, replaced by gloomy, sinister clouds.
Countless turrets and sensor arrays monitored the situation below.
The Rune light flowing across the fortress's surface cast a cold blue-white glow through the darkness.
It formed a glaring contrast with the surrounding purple-black corruption.
"Detected a large cluster of lifeforms gathering in the depths of the beast nest."
Zong Shen sat upon the Winter Throne, supporting his chin with one hand as his gaze swept across the constantly refreshing data stream on the main display.
At the end of the slope lay an even broader underground space.
The fortress's observation systems showed numerous towering fleshy structures there, along with countless life signals.
"Maintain formation and continue advancing."
"All combat units, enter standby for the deep purification protocol."
His orders were concise and clear.
The construct Legion immediately adjusted according to his command.
