Heading to the Aurora Corridor

Inside a dense, overgrown mountain range within the Emberlight World.

"Whoosh~"

Qi Yuan's group flashed quickly through the mountain forest.

Above them in the sky, however, a flock of Three-headed Strange Birds with wingspans stretching a full dozen meters wide closely followed.

"Screech!"

From time to time, a strange bird dove down, directly knocking over large swaths of trees to attack the fleeing crowd.

Cold giant claws, as if cast from steel, pierced the air, and their sharp momentum caused everyone to involuntarily feel a chill in their hearts.

Fortunately, there were three powerful Star Traveller Tier 9 Psychic Masters in the team.

Whenever the strange birds lunged, the three Psychic Masters immediately manipulated their Psionic Weapons to block them, and it was only because of this that no casualties were caused!

"Careful, this way!"

"Damn, these strange birds are too clingy, run toward the denser trees!"

"There's a karst cave here, get in quick!"

After running for their lives desperately for over an hour, the group finally shook off the pursuit of the Three-headed Strange Birds and temporarily stopped in a karst cave to rest and regroup.

"Hoo~ Hoo~ Why are the fierce beasts in this Lord of Domain World all packed in families? Every time you provoke one, it brings out a whole clan!"

Although Hugo was carried by Old Wu the entire way, after such a tense escape, he could not help but pant heavily.

Yet immediately after, he looked toward Old Wu, an expression of extreme anticipation appearing on his face.

"Old Wu, how many Poison Stings were collected in total just now, is it enough for the mission? Damn it, if those strange birds hadn't messed around, we could have killed all those Ghost Face Scorpions!"

Hearing this, Old Wu smiled with confidence, "Master, rest assured. Except for one Ghost Face Scorpion corpse that was too far away and didn't get collected in time, the rest are with me. It's definitely enough for our mission!"

"Haha, it's finally enough, I've had enough of staying in this damned place!"

Hugo immediately waved his fist heavily in excitement!

They had entered the Emberlight World for over forty days now, and the time spent merely hunting Ghost Face Scorpions alone exceeded a month!

During this past month, he did not know how many times he had been chased by rampaging Ghost Face Scorpions into a desperate run for his life.

Until now, whenever he thought of the miserable experience of being forced to drill into the Light Shadow Layer to hide and save his life time and time again, he could not help but feel dizzy.

And now, they could finally leave this ghost place!

"Grip time to rest. Once everyone's Origin Energy and psionic power recover somewhat, we'll immediately head to the Aurora Corridor!"

Hugo arranged excitedly.

"The Aurora Corridor!"

Sitting to the side and quietly recovering his Yuan energy, Qi Yuan felt a slight stir in his heart upon hearing this.

Ever since he entered the Small World, he had constantly been searching for an opportunity to break away.

Yet throughout this past month, the team members had always stayed gathered together, and he had never found a suitable timing.

With his current strength of Star Traveller Tier 7, coupled with the assistance of his domain, dealing with ordinary Star Traveller Tier 9 martial artists should not be difficult.

However, Hugo's team still had three Star Traveller Tier 9 Psychic Masters!

The flight speed of a Psychic Master far exceeded that of a Star Traveller Tier 7 martial artist like him. Once distance was created, there was nothing he could do against the opponent.

Unless forced by absolute necessity, forcibly breaking away was obviously not a wise move.

Furthermore, his disciple Cang Fan, who had brought him quite a few surprises, along with hundreds of Lei Yuan Clan members, were still working as miners for someone on Lei Bao Star.

If he forcibly escaped and happened to anger Hugo, the master of Lei Bao Star, the fate of those clansmen probably would not turn out too well.

Thus, unless it came down to a last resort, he still wished to 'disappear' from beside Hugo in as reasonable a manner as possible.

Qi Yuan recalled the relevant data on the Aurora Corridor in his mind, his heart gradually becoming resolute.

"The Aurora Corridor, that should be my final chance... If that still doesn't work, I'll just have to take a risk..."

On the vast and endless Crystal Continent, one majestic crystal giant pillar after another, resembling twisted mountain ranges, rose straight up from the ground, and then twisted and coiled in a posture that defied conventional reason—

In the end, tens of thousands of crystal giant pillars intertwined and entangled with each other, forming a grand Crystal Giant Tree with a diameter exceeding hundreds of thousands of kilometers and a height that reached straight into the sky!

At the crown of the giant tree, right in the center of those 'branches' composed of translucent crystals, a huge sphere of light resembling a true star hung quietly.

Endless blinding light radiated from that huge sphere of light, directly illuminating the entire Emberlight World.

Meanwhile, within the trunk of that grand giant tree connecting heaven and earth, and inside those main crystal pillars resembling giant pythons, countless dazzling lights resembling gorgeous starlight flowed rapidly, as if continuously channeling energy to the 'star' at the crown of the giant tree.

This place was located at the very core and most mysterious place of the entire Emberlight World—the Aurora Corridor!

"Good heavens! Is—is this the Aurora Corridor?"

When Qi Yuan's group arrived nearby, they were instantly completely overwhelmed by that endlessly magnificent and grandiose spectacle!

What kind of concept was a Crystal Giant Tree with a diameter exceeding hundreds of thousands of kilometers!

Even the Earth from Qi Yuan's past life had a maximum diameter of only slightly over ten thousand kilometers, falling far short of even a tenth of this crystal giant tree's diameter!

A grand giant tree with a diameter dozens of times thicker than a planet—one could imagine just how soul-stirring it was!

"Oh my god, such a huge wonder, how much Origin Energy must it take to condense it!"

Even Hugo, the most 'knowledgeable' noble young master among them, could not help but let out wave after wave of exclamations.

"Master, which entrance should we enter from?"

Old Wu, having finally shaken off the shock, turned to ask Hugo.

Although the Aurora Corridor was collectively referred to as the aurora, it actually possessed two entrances: 'Aurora' and 'Extreme Darkness'.

Entering from the 'Aurora' entrance revealed a brilliant sight filled with light.

Meanwhile, entering from the 'Extreme Darkness' passage revealed a dark world without a shred of light!

However, 'Aurora' and 'Extreme Darkness' were not completely severed, as passages interpenetrated each other in the middle.

"Which entrance."

Hugo tilted his head in slight contemplation, then directly decided:

"The data shows that the level of danger is about the same from either side... But since the mission item is an 'Aurora Stone', let's enter through the 'Aurora' passage!"

At the base of the crystal giant tree known as the 'Aurora Corridor', at a huge passage entrance dozens of kilometers wide and long, glowing with flowing light inside and resembling the entrance to a dreamlike world, stood the spot.

A robust figure with four arms, along with a Silver Scale Man with a golden little snake coiled around his neck and others, occupied a 'cave' space beneath a huge crystal rock pillar, disguising themselves as an ordinary adventurer team currently resting and recuperating.

"Hey, Lao Si, I heard you have a sweetheart over at the Redstone Empire side, and she even gave birth to a little cub for you?"

The Silver Scale Man teased the golden little snake on his neck with his finger while smilingly talking via voice transmission to the four-armed brawny man beside him.

"Yeah, I ran into her once when I was 'working' over there. Who knows how many years we lost contact, but just a few years ago she told me she actually secretly kept a cub for me back then."

The four-armed brawny man scratched his head, revealing an honest and simple appearance.

"Before taking this mission, I even went over to see them."

"Heh, don't you say, that little cub looks like my flesh and blood at first glance; he perfectly inherited the bloodline of my Four-armed Nuo Jia Clan. He only cultivated to Planet Level Tier 9 in just a few decades, much stronger than his old man back in the day!"

Watching his smug look, the Silver Scale Man chuckled in amusement:

"Then how come I didn't see you bring them back together, hehe, aren't you afraid someone else will find your little cub a new dad?"

"Get lost!"

The four-armed brawny man laughed and scolded, but ultimately shook his head and sighed, "What's the use of following me back? Doing what we do, you never know which mission you'll kick the bucket on, what's so good about following me."

"With my aptitude, Star Traveller Tier 9 is probably the absolute limit."

An expression resembling a gratified smile appeared on his face, "My only hope now is to save up more resources and properly nurture that little cub. If one day I can nurture him into a Universe Level, then I suppose I wouldn't have lived this life in vain!"

"Heh, then you might as well hurry up and have a few more, that way the probability of a Universe Level appearing would be even higher."

"Damn it, even if I can make them, I have to be able to afford raising them."

The two of them were chatting idly, one sentence after another.

Suddenly—

The Silver Scale Man's light-green pupils suddenly congealed, and then staring coldly toward a certain direction outside the rock cave, he spoke:

"Have San Yan and the others come over, the target has appeared!"
