Chapter 704: Finding Nodes

Aila heard this and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Really? Is this the origin energy node we are looking for?"

Li Yang nodded and nodded slightly:

"At least now it seems that the characteristics of this energy are completely consistent with the description of [Origin]."

"It seems that we are lucky."

"Then how should we collect this energy? [Origin] seems to have never told us..." Aila asked, her eyes moving back and forth between the ancient tree and Li Yang.

Li Yang pondered for a moment, then said: "I don't know... maybe I can try to channel this energy into my body."

"Using the power of [World Devourer], I should be able to absorb and transform this energy."

Speaking of this, Li Yang couldn't help but sigh:

"I know why the mythical plant I first awakened was this thing."

"Now it seems that this thing is indeed very useful."

Ella looked at Li Yang with some concern: "Is it safe to do this? We don't know enough about this energy..."

Li Yang smiled slightly and calmly comforted: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

"And we don't have many choices, time is running out."

After that, Li Yang took a deep breath, put his palm on the tree trunk, closed his eyes and began to concentrate on feeling the flow of energy.

Instantly, Li Yang felt a warm and powerful energy slowly flowing into his body.

This feeling is both familiar and strange, as if returning to the feeling when he first came into contact with [Origin], but with a more pure and primitive power.

Ella stood aside obediently, watching Li Yang nervously.

She could see that Li Yang's body was glowing slightly, and the air around him seemed to be slightly distorted by the flow of energy.

Suddenly, Li Yang opened his eyes and took a breath.

"What's wrong?" Ella hurried forward to support the shaky Li Yang.

Li Yang took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and then said: "I... I saw something... something?"

"What?" Ella was slightly curious, and there was a little worry on her face.

Li Yang frowned, trying to recall: "I seem to have seen... the location of [Origin]'s body."

"And... the scene of that high-dimensional existence invading this plane."

Ella opened her eyes wide in surprise: "What did you see specifically? Is there any way to deal with that thing?"

Li Yang shook his head slowly: "Unfortunately, no."

"The picture is blurry, but I can feel the power of that existence... It is far more powerful than we imagined."

"The feeling conveyed to me by [Origin]... Its view of that thing can be summed up in two words."

"Invincible."

"Even [Origin] can't solve it... Do we still have hope?" Ella asked with some concern.

Li Yang was silent for a moment, then nodded calmly:

"The Origin is the Origin, and we are us."

"Since the Origin can suppress it for so long, there is no reason why we can't do it."

Ella nodded, with a flash of determination in her eyes: "I understand."

"By the way, have you collected enough energy?"

Li Yang closed his eyes, felt the energy in his body, and then slowly said: "Not enough, we need more."

"Although the energy contained in this tree is powerful, it is far from enough to seal the dimensional crack."

"Then let's continue to look for other energy nodes." Ella said, "How much time do we have?"

Li Yang looked at the time: "There are about forty-five hours left... We have to speed up."

Just then, the two suddenly felt the ground begin to shake slightly.

"What's going on?" Ella looked around vigilantly.

Li Yang frowned: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing, we'd better..."

Before he finished speaking, a huge roar suddenly came from a distance, shaking the entire forest.

"That's..." Ella's eyes widened.

"Go!" Li Yang grabbed Ella's hand and quickly activated the ability of [Universe Wanderer·Water Lily].

At the moment the two disappeared, a huge creature rushed into the open space.

It was a giant beast as big as a mountain, covered with heavy scales, and roared at the ancient tree with its bloody mouth open...

...

In a blink of an eye, Li Yang and the others reappeared on a desolate planet.

The surface here is full of deep canyons, and countless asteroid fragments float in the sky.

"Huh... It's really dangerous." Ella breathed a sigh of relief, "What is that?"

Li Yang shook his head: "Who knows, it could be an indigenous creature, or it could be something sent by that high-dimensional being to stop us."

"If it's the latter... we have to be careful, that thing may have noticed our actions."

Ella frowned: "Then what should we do next? Continue to look for energy nodes?"

Li Yang nodded: "Of course, we must collect enough energy as soon as possible."

"But from now on we have to be more careful."

"That thing has obviously infiltrated every aspect of this place, and it is likely to set similar traps at every energy node."

"I see." Ella said, "Then what about here? Do you feel anything?"

Li Yang closed his eyes and used his new ability to carefully feel the energy fluctuations around him.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and pointed in a direction: "Over there, I feel a weak energy fluctuation."

The two carefully moved in the designated direction, constantly alert to the surrounding environment on the way.

After walking for about half an hour, they came to the edge of a huge canyon.

The canyon was bottomless, and the surrounding rock walls were covered with strange patterns, as if they were relics left by some ancient civilization.

"The energy fluctuations come from the bottom of the canyon." Li Yang said, "Before going down, it's best to explore whether there is any danger below."

Ella observed the surrounding environment and slowly said: "Leave it to me."

She stretched out her hand and condensed a strange energy.

As she moved, a faint purple light appeared on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon. The purple light gathered and extended all the way to form a spiral passage leading directly to the bottom of the canyon.

The purple light illuminated everything around.

The passage of the two people was displayed at a glance.

"Hmm... Actually, I can use [Star Watcher·Sunflower] and it's almost the same..." Li Yang nodded, which was considered a little approval.

After all, Ella is different from him.

As a native of this universe, it is not easy for her to achieve this level.

The two of them immediately took action and went down the passage.

But for some reason, as they went deeper, the temperature around them began to rise gradually.

Finally, they came to the bottom of the canyon.

This is a huge cave, and in the center of the cave there is a glowing energy sphere suspended in the air.
