Chapter 1023: 521 Dust to dust, earth to earth (4000)_2 Chapter 1023: 521 Dust to dust, earth to earth (4000)_2 “You dare!?”

Whoosh! All the ripples above the tree crown gathered together, forming a five-colored vortex. The next second, a golden long spear was born from the vortex. Its tip radiated a terrifying sharpness as it fell towards the demon idol!

“What’s there not to dare? Next, I’m going to find your true body and kill it. Just like how I’m crushing you with a wave of my hand now, grinding you to dust! Hahaha! I’m indeed using you as nutrient!”

The voice of the demon idol boomed like a grand bell; it directly swung the unsupported ripple giant tree and smashed it violently to the ground. Boom!!

Clang! The crystal-like giant tree instantly burst into pieces.

A five-colored fluorescent rain seemed to fall from the sky.

Swoosh! The last attack of the ripple giant tree, that five-colored long spear, suddenly fell. The towering demon idol on the ground, however, suddenly swung its palm. Its steel palm directly collided with the spear tip, sparking a cascade of sparks. Ding! Crack! Crack! Crack! The giant hand of the idol gradually crushed the golden spear, grinding the shaft into dust.

Whoosh, with a slight flick of the hand, the last piece of golden fragment flew out.

The demon idol retracted its right palm; the palm, specifically strengthened with Qi, now had a pit, but unfortunately, it still didn’t pierce through the bone armor.

This five-colored ripple-concentrated golden lance failed to injure it.

“Five types of top-tier ripples, although they look lethal, their strength is dispersed. They neither created a cycle nor produced a resonance. Seems they are not as good as a single attribute of top-tier ripple honed to the extreme…”

The demon idol made an assessment, then the next second, returned to its human form.

Casio also shifted from his combat-savvy slaughter personality back to his more reserved main personality. His mind quickly analyzed the situation.

This dark ultimate form of Immortal Islands was mostly a paper tiger, outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and lacking in confidence. Otherwise, its true body would have appeared directly and killed all the invaders present. All the nonsense it spouted through the organization leader Bing Ling—trying to persuade Casio to leave and not to lose his life, claiming it was a god completely in control of Immortal Island—was just to maintain a fearsome facade.

But Casio saw through it at a glance. Underneath that fierce and malevolent tiger skin was nothing but an empty skeleton, devoid of any real flesh and blood. If this dark ultimate form was really in such good condition, it wouldn’t have secluded itself, shrinking on this tiny island for thousands of years. Clearly, it was in poor condition, very poor. Even a thousand years of recuperation wouldn’t allow it to reveal itself in broad daylight. It could only hide on this island, acting as a pseudo-god to a group of mind-controlled ripple masters.

Casio realized instantly that this might be an opportunity.

An opportunity that comes once in a thousand years.

If handled well, perhaps the Magic Puppet Secret Art Qi Chapter could be completed directly. The quality of the life vibration energy of the dark ultimate form was unquestionable.

“Everyone regroup! Those who need to heal, heal; those who need to recover their Qi, recover. Get yourselves in the best condition, and then we enter the relic.”

Casio’s voice echoed in mid-air. Many fighters from the Secret Martial Arts World and the newly pledged Black Rain Villa Markers all heard it.

The remaining ripple masters heard it too. Seeing their leader Bing Ling fall, they roared with anger and charged at Casio together.

Boom!!!

A huge palm imprint pushed horizontally from the front, the terrifying Qi that arrived instantaneously like solidified glue, firmly locking all the ripple masters in place. Like flies encased in a pale amber.

Thud!

A palm struck down; the ground cracked, and mud surged up between the fingers.

From the sky, a hundred-meter-long giant palm imprint starkly appeared on the battlefield. Within the imprint, numerous ripple masters were crushed by an irresistible force into flesh mud, like mosquitoes squashed by humans.

No matter if they were elite, bloodthirsty, or master class. Under Casio’s palm, there was no difference; they were crushed to death like ants.

As for the common class, they didn’t even qualify to participate in this battle.

They couldn’t even be considered as cannon fodder.

Casio slowly retracted his outstretched white right hand, his expression cold. With one palm, the ripple masters’ forces were annihilated. He really was becoming stronger…

“Let’s go, walk and recover simultaneously,” Casio said as he stepped forward, heading directly towards Inner Island of Immortal.

Now, finally, there was no external force left to stop his footsteps. Only the perils of the Ancient Ruins awaited Casio’s resolution.

Behind him, numerous fighters and Eerie Night Guests watched that solitary, strong black figure. For a moment, they found themselves speechless, exchanging glances and seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. They shook their heads.

Followed in silence.

At Black Rain Villa, many were feeling extremely fortunate, especially those undercover agents who hadn’t yet betrayed their own. With just one palm strike, Casio had annihilated the Ripple master’s forces; dealing with them would probably not be a difficult task. At most, it would take two or three more palm strikes. After a few moves, probably only the Eerie Night Guest and the Ripple Master could still live in one piece.

“Such terrifying strength…” the Ripple Master Mongki watched Casio with flickering eyes, “Perhaps this operation can truly succeed…”

“At least, the success rate has risen from the original less than ten percent to over fifty percent now. I hope this time, we can destroy Paradise!”

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and strode forward to follow.

**********************************

Immortal Island, Inner Island, beneath the Sky-reaching Mother Tree.

Bang!

After a loud boom, the Ripple Mother Tree was cut off at the waist!

A silhouette, like a meteor, flew up, landing on the uneven, rough cross-section. A demons’ phantasm materialized instantly; steel hands swiftly passed over the tree stump, grinding it smooth and flat as if it were a millstone.

The enormous phantom disappeared, and Casio sat cross-legged at the edge of the stump.

He kept breathing in and out, his nostrils seemingly encircled by two tornados of sweeping airflow. His strength was gradually restored, each cell’s qi reaching a state of saturation, full and surging.

Half an hour later, the pale white airflow vortex in the sky gradually dissipated.

“Let’s go!”

Casio leapt down, directly speeding towards the distance.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…

The fighters and Eerie Night Guests immediately set off, turning into a series of black afterimages, leaping and flickering over the rugged, uneven ground. Even with the treacherous terrain, they moved as if on flat ground, their figures swift as startling swans.

Five minutes later, the main troop stopped.

Before them lay a deep ravine; on both sides were lush woods, only separated by a ten-meter-wide black crevice that stretched long and sank deeply.

Looking down from the edge, there seemed to be a stream flowing from east to west. The stream’s edge was covered with gravel and protruding rocks.

“Looks like we need to go down…” everyone thought to themselves.

Swoosh! One after another, figures leapt down without any hesitation.

Some glided directly downward, some rapidly climbed down the cliffs, others jumped left and right in a “Z” pattern to descend. Some, braver and more skilled, free-fell like a shell dropping straight down.

With a bang, they smashed into a pit, then climbed back out.

Two minutes later, in a twenty-meter-wide section of the ravine, the group found a stele, a broken black stele.

The wind-weathered, blurred characters and symbols on it were indecipherable.

Thud!

Casio stomped his foot down, and the ground around the stele thundered and shook.

He closed his eyes, feeling the ground’s reverberation and the lingering waves. Moments later, he opened his eyes and slowly nodded his head, “The Ancient Ruins are right below.”

At the same time, in the depths of the Underground Relics, an unknown location.

In endless darkness, a dried-up corpse sat cross-legged, hands conjoined in front at its chest, motionless. It seemed to have been in this chaotic place, eerily still for countless ages.

Screech…

From somewhere, a faint waterbird’s cry rang out, but the next second, it disappeared. Just like it had never existed at all.
