Chapter 620 - Ruins Open!
Chapter 620: Ruins Open!
Bei Feng silently evaluated the people around him, and everyone was likewise observing their competitors.
The people from the 12 large factions did not descend to join the crowd, and simply sat outside of the platform.
“This is a chance that’s appeared suddenly for me! It’s not necessarily impossible to surpass Qing Ruyu!”
A fire lit up in a girl’s eyes as she looked at Qing Ruyu standing in front of the group.
“Apart from Qing Ruyu and those two others, the rest is not even significant in my eyes!” a man said in a low voice, his eyes flickering coldly.
“This time, it’s finally time for me to truly display my talent!”
Many other people secretly thought the same, no one thinking that they were weaker than others.
“Boom!”
A gigantic black bull that was over 1,000 zhang tall suddenly appeared, stepping on the air. The demonic Qi that was surging from its body was as boundless as a mighty ocean, and the cultivators felt as if they were tiny boats rocking heavily among its waves.
The entire Demon Tribe bowed, and chorused, “Respectful greetings, Demon Venerable!”
“This time, my Demon Tribe only needs to obtain the Form Transformation Pills. As for all the other profits, you may keep it all to yourselves. Apart from that, if anyone is able to bring out more than 10 Form Transformation Pills, this Venerable will award that person with one sapling of a Thousand Stars Vine!”
Each hair on the gigantic black bull was as tough as steel, and a pair of long, sharp horns extended from its head. With every breath it took, sparks flew from its nostrils.
The title Demon Venerable was not something given away casually. Only a true overlord-level character of the Ten Thousand Year Realm could deserve that title!
This black bull was originally of common birth, but it’d never lost a single battle throughout its entire life. Even the descendants of the greater Demonic Beasts among the same realm were not its opponents.
Without relying on any exceptional bloodline, and just by relying on its powerful cultivation strength, it was not inferior to Demonic Beasts with vastly superior bloodline!
An ordinary late stage Ten Thousand Year Supremacy might not even be able to last more than 10 rounds against it!
“Thousand Stars Vine?! How generous!”
“Ah, the Thousand Stars Vine is a priceless treasure! Even a sapling is incredibly precious!”
“It’s rumored that the Thousand Stars Vine has the power of creation, blooming 1,000 flowers. Each flower contains a world, and cultivating within it would help one establish an incomparably strong foundation!”
“We must obtain this Thousand Stars Vine! Even our Qing Family cannot find many of this kind of treasure!”
“Disciples of my Shi Family, you will hand all the Form Transformation Pills you find to Qing Ruyu! This Thousand Stars Vine is something that my Qing Family must have!” An old man who was shrouded by an aura of death suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze instantly piercing through the air.
“Little brats of my Primal Devil Sect, the Thousand Stars Vine is an incredibly nutritional treasure! Are you tempted!?” said a giant 100 zhang tall, his voice loud enough to burst one’s eardrums.
“We are tempted!” the disciples of the Primal Devil Sect all howled excitedly as their eyes lit up.
“If you’re tempted, go and snatch it for this daddy! I will guarantee that every single one of you will get a slot to use the the Thousand Stars Vine!”
The giant laughed madly, his voice booming with arrogance.
The disciples of the Primal Devil Sect were overwhelmed with excitement. The Thousand Stars Vine took a long time to mature, and even with the Primal Devil Sect’s resources being capable of helping the vine mature faster, it would still take some 50 years or so!
At that time, even if the few of them had broken through to a higher realm, and could not use this slot, their later generation, or their family members, could still use it! Thus, this slot was incredibly precious!
If they placed an infant in the flower’s world when the flowers of the Thousand Stars Vine bloomed, then this infant’s talent and physical condition would be greatly raised after three years!
Perhaps the Thousand Stars Vines were not really worth much to some of those peak-level factions and strong families, but to these mid-level sects and clans, they were treasure that one couldn’t have more of.
Hmph, where is there such a good thing in the world? I can certainly give them a Thousand Stars Vine, but I didn’t say that there isn’t any problem with this Thousand Stars Vine.
The black bull looked at the bunch of excited humans, and it snickered with contempt.
If it wasn’t that it needed these 12 great factions to use all their efforts to search for the Form Transformation Pills, why would it offer such a great treasure like the Thousand Stars Vine?
In the past, because of this ruin, they’d been capturing humans from all over the place and forcing them to go inside. Everything found inside would go to the Demonic Beasts Tribe.
But after so many years, the results were not very good.
After such a long time, they’d only found 12 Form Transformation Pills.
By now, the Demonic Beasts Tribe already fully understood that this was because the strength of the humans they’d caught so far was too low. They were only a bunch of rogue cultivators.
That was why they’d released the news this time, agreeing to cooperate with the 12 factions.
But, one human from among the captured ones had actually managed to deceive the entire Demonic Beast Tribe, escaping secretly.
And now, that person had entered the top 10 rank of the Earth Ranking.
It wasn’t clear what kind of fortuitous encounter that person experienced in the ruins, allowing a mere Third Layer Hundred Year realm cultivator like him to directly break through to the Thousand Year King realm. Then, using the spirit power ability he awakened, he managed to deceive and elude the entire Demonic Beast Tribe.
A fiery red sun rose faraway on the horizon, and dense purple Qi surged out, causing the sky to turn purple.
At this time, the Demon Venerable suddenly opened its mouth as it looked towards the broiling mist, and said, “It is almost time!”
All the clouds were tinged with purple, and they slowly solidified into an ancient-looking bridge!
The moment the bridge appeared, the space around it began to shatter, unable to bear the pressure. Tiny black cracks extended outwards in all directions like a spider’s web.
But in the direction of the platform, there weren’t any cracks.
Two blurry words could be seen in the center of the wooden bridge, undulating with shocking energy!
The stone bridge was full of cracks as if it’d experienced a huge war. There were countless sword scars and chips on it everywhere.
The entire bridge looked like it had been shattered and put back again together. Most of the bridge was revealed, with less than half remaining hidden and unclear.
The bridge was exceedingly old, and filled with a heavy ancient aura. It wasn’t clear how many years of history this bridge held.
“You fortuitous encounter has appeared; from hereon, the rest depends on yourselves! Go on!” The Demon Venerable’s voice rang out.
“Divine weapons, cultivation techniques, martial techniques!”
All the Hundred Year realm cultivators stared at the bridge with greedy eyes. Like a horde of flies dashing into fire, they charged onto the bridge.
“Go. Take note of your own safety first; I will wait for your return here.”
Bei Feng looked at the eight guards and nodded.
“Yes!”
The eight guards stood up and bowed once before charging toward the stone bridge as well.
“All the treasures belong to me! HAHA!” A loud voice rang out from a middle-aged man who was running at the front.
He was not a Hundred Year realm cultivator at all—he was a peak Thousand Year King!
Lan Tian’s eyes were red, and he was filled with a wild joy. Those Demonic Beasts surely have had their heads kicked by a donkey. Wouldn’t there be better results if they let Thousand Year Kings enter the ruin?
As Lan Tian thought about that grand character that was ranked among the top 10 of the Earth Ranking, he became even more excited.
He didn’t need to hide his true strength anymore. Since he’d stepped onto the stone bridge already, even a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy would not be able to do anything to him. As for how he should leave the ruin…
Hadn’t he already made his preparations? Lan Tian sneered as he touched a jade by his waist.
This jade contained enough power to rival a full-strength attack of a Ten Thousand Year Realm expert. It was more than enough to blast a spatial path out!
At that time, with how big the world was, he could hide wherever he wanted!
“Damn it!”
“Bastard!!”
A Ten Thousand Year Supremacy of a large family cursed with rage. Who would have thought that someone had actually managed to pull the wool over his eyes!
However, that person’s feet had already touched the stone bridge. Even though he wanted to attack, the moment he raised his hand, he still instantaneously felt a sense of fear!
At that moment, he could only lower his hand with some fear as he looked doubtfully towards the stone bridge.
Lan Tian smirked proudly upon seeing that. The spirit power ability he’d awoken was a concealment-type spirit power ability. He’d completely given up on forming new spirit power abilities, and fully concentrated on enchanting that spirit power ability. As long as he did not make a move, even a peak Ten Thousand Year Realm expert would not be able to see through his true strength without observing him carefully!
The Demon Venerable had no expression on its face, as if what was happening had nothing to do with it at all. It didn’t spare the man a glance.
