The Sacred Ruins

A faint golden vine broke forth from the ground, astonishing those throughout the heaven and earth.

On Earth, all of the native evolvers had already learned of this through a live televised broadcast. They saw it very clearly.

Yet those in the outer realms were rather startled.

The vine shot upwards like a self-assured creature and extended towards the heaven’s dome in an ostentatious and overbearing manner. Unaccompanied, it faced experts from various races throughout the starry skies.

As if just woken, it clearly remembered the radiant affairs of tears and blood from the distant past. It could still feel the flames from the war back then and the difficult times when weapons were dancing and flying everywhere.

Bang!

As it grew higher, the faint golden vine broke through the atmosphere with a clap of thunder. It was incredibly tough and durable, growing incessantly. It was about to break into outer space.

Back then, it was known as a heavenly vine, maturing together with the young geniuses of the earth as they grew up. It watched as they challenged various adversaries throughout the starry skies and returned unscathed through a hundred battles!

Previously someone had disappeared from the universe in order to become number one in the starry skies. It remembered those youngsters as those were memorable years and the resplendent golden age of its life.

However, the Dark Ages followed soon afterward with a great deal of bloodshed.

It would not forget how that woman named Yaoyao had attacked and defeated the top ten dao children and fairies by herself, diminishing their radiance. Alone she had quelled all her enemies in the starry skies.

Crack!

Lightning filled the sky, interweaving together with the Heavenly Vine. Lightning emerged on its leaves a faint golden luster full of metallic qualities.

The main vine pressed on, soaring up into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the outer realms. It extended outwards, forming faint golden-colored branches. It was thriving with many leaves that covered the entire area.

This was a miracle of life.

Its vital level was even higher than the king of Constellation Vines. It was proof of this planet’s former glory.

Even those who were native didn’t know the ins and outs of this Heavenly Vine, but the case was different in the outer realms. In an instant, many old geezers across the starry skies cried out in alarm.

Back then, they had experienced the flourishes and prosperities of the golden ages as well as the extreme splendor which followed. Soon afterward things had quickly changed stances into an era of decline. Presently, they were looking on with constricted pupils.

Unconsciously, a lot of images emerged in their minds. From the flaming beacons and the destruction of experts to the downfall of geniuses and the violent deaths of the saintesses as the starry skies were destroyed.

That era caused all evolvers to become overwhelmed with emotions, as too many things had happened.

And the first thing that came to people’s minds on seeing such a vine was the woman with unmatched magnificence in her generation—Yaoyao.

This was because there were many legends concerning her and this vine. It had dazzled alongside her and had accompanied her as her candle-like life faded away. It bore her lucid blood and witnessed the legend of her being unequaled as the true number one in the starry skies.

In those olden days, fairies and dao children all over the starry skies had invaded the area. There were countless mighty enemies as experts stood in great numbers. Since this planet was to be destroyed, they didn’t want Yaoyao to die while bearing the good reputation as the “number one in the universe”. They wished for her to be defeated before withering away.

As a result, even heaven illuminating experts had accepted it tacitly. They had watched on with the hopes that someone from one of the generations would overthrow her as well as completely crush and extinguish the planet’s remaining glory and splendor.

In that era, there were some forbidden heaven-illuminating characters amongst the top ten planets who’d nurtured and produced dazzlingly world-shattering unique geniuses.

One after another the Origin Magnetic Sacred Physique, the Myriad Star Physique, the Divine Innocuous physique, the Immemorial Fetus, and the Immortal Destiny physique emerged. This astonished the entire universe and disrupted the river of time.

People were skeptical of so many prodigies, both from then and now, gathering here in this day and age!

It must be borne in mind that if any of those physiques came into being they would be sufficient to illuminate the universe for a whole generation. In the end, they had all appeared during the flourishing ages, having been groomed with the utmost care so that their military capacities would surpass everyone else’s.

However, they were all defeated and beheaded by Yaoyao. She fought alone with an injured body, splashing blood across the starry skies.

In those times, Wei Heng from the Xilin clan, who was ranked ninth in the world defected. Yaoyao’s prodigious ex-fiancé, the man ranked third in the starry skies, had also abandoned her as the last moment approached, fleeing far away into the starry skies with his teacher.

As a result, Yaoyao had swept over all of the prodigies single-handedly. She had even slaughtered saints with a wounded body and a cultivation far below that of a saint.

Unfortunately, a supreme figure couldn’t help but intervene in the end, and she perished like a moth flying into a flame…

Then, those of her father’s generation had also died in battle. Everything was broken and smashed into pieces.

Many could still remember the last of her splendor and her perfect, pale countenance with bloodstains all over her body. She turned and took one last look at what used to be her home before soaring resolutely into the sky. She met her enemy head-on, leaving everyone with a scene of blood and misery…

Therefore after all these years had passed, Yaoyao, the woman who took everyone’s breath away in her generation, came to people’s mind when they caught sight of this Heavenly Vine once again.

“How unexpected. The roots of this Heavenly Vine are still here and have healed.”

Luo Hong, the saint from the Deity race, stood in space. He had an indifferent yet complex expression as he recalled all kinds of old affairs from back in those days.

His figure was tall and he had a middle-aged face. His long golden hair was disheveled. Back then, he had just become a saint and was rather high-spirited.

At that time, he was relatively “young”, and was once transfixed on Yaoyao.

However, even though he had become a saint, he was still not dazzling enough in front of the woman. After all, the origin magnetic sacred physique, the Myriad Star physique and the Immortal Destiny Physique etc had emerged then. That era was too unimaginably brilliant.

“Ah, one can only be considered as the victor if they survive. What does it matter how dazzling they used to be? They’re nothing more than soil, while I’m still alive. Now I’m repolishing the realm, and just like that, I can mend and perfect my dao fruits from when I was younger. Only surviving will make you the victor.”

He muttered to himself, his eyes wandering before fixing onto the Heavenly Vine.

Following this, his gaze grew cold and he shouted, “Chu Feng, come fight me!”

At this moment, the Deity race’s saint Luo Hong felt rather conflicted. The Heavenly Vine made him think of Yaoyao and the number one in the entire universe came to his mind.

This vine had reemerged just in time for his fight with Chu Feng. Was this just a coincidence, or was there an otherworldly force causing it?

Luo Hong’s complexion darkened. He simply couldn’t allow another heaven-bestowed genius like Yaoyao to arise. He had to throttle this genius today and blot out the heavens with a single hand!

“Killing a saint is an extraordinarily meaningful matter and worthy of commemorating later on. Naturally, I need to remember my current mood in detail. Just you wait for it!”

Chu Feng said thus. His words created a great commotion after his voice was transmitted.

To some, his words were incredibly courageous as well as rather over the limit. He wanted to kill a saint today?!

Luo Hong’s complexion was incomparably bleak.

“No need to hurry. This is a grand occasion. It’ll be better to start after all our dao friends have arrived,” someone said from within the starry skies—he was actually a saint.

The emergence of the Heavenly Vine was greatly influential and had stirred the old memories of an entire generation. As a result, some creatures who had survived from the ancient times were considerably affected and were coming into being.

At this moment, some of the top-ten had received news of this and came out of their areas of seclusion one after another.

Meanwhile, several reputed characters from various research organizations and faculties were also moved as they cast glances toward this part of the starry skies.

Needless to say, this was even more disturbing to the younger generation. Everyone was startled.

Some were watching the live stream while others wanted to take action. They wanted to rush towards this area of the starry skies and attend the occasion in person.

Back at Kunlun, Chu Feng was holding a diamond chakram in one hand and a piece of silver paper left behind by the sagemaster in the other. He looked at the Great Dream Pure Land’s descendant Qin Luoyin.

Soon, he would have to enter the spiritual battlefield. It would be a huge risk to keep such a great enemy in his vicinity.

The black yak, Ouyang Feng, the old donkey, and Yellow Ox dashed in all at once and stood close to Chu Feng. What was going to happen next would be earth-shattering. Therefore, they wanted to clear the area to avoid troubles in the future.

“I look forward to this fight and I won’t intervene,” Qin Luoyin said, her voice very pleasant to listen to. She wore a multi-colored mask, and her eyes were deep and beautiful. She glanced toward this area before slowly retreating.

“Mn. Directly dispose of her cousin Luo Miaoxiang if she rushes indiscriminately into action,” said the black yak in a low voice.

They thought that Qin Luoyi wouldn’t dare join into the action as otherwise, her cousin would die. That wouldn’t be good for either party.

“Don’t worry, you go and fight. Entrust your body to the Heavenly Vine. No one can disturb it.” A voice sounded in Chu Feng’s ears. It was somewhat alluring and extremely pleasant to hear.

His eyes widened immediately, and he looked around in all directions because he recognized the voice. It was Yaoyao!

“Go.” Yaoyao wasn’t here and had only transmitted her voice.

“Okay!”

Chu Feng took big strides and felt as though his entire body was surging with valor. Even though he had just fought a great battle, he was still currently gushing with passion. His body was filled with vigorous and forceful energy.

Within Mount Kunlun, an enormous faint-golden Heavenly Vine rose from the mountain, pulling out from the ground. Its aura was indescribable as it extended outside the realm.

Chu Feng threw himself onto it with a whoosh. He picked an appropriate spot and sat down cross-legged. Then, without the help of a teacher, he knew exactly how to use the Heavenly Vine.

There was the sound of a buzz as his spirit left his body and entered the Heavenly Vine, rising into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he came to the region outside Earth. This area was just right as it was still within the effective range of the earth’s domain.

“The Heavenly Vine can’t be destroyed. The spiritual world is immortal.”

Chu Feng’s spirit found out a lot of the current state of affairs while he was roaming about within the Heavenly Vine.

At the summit of the Heavenly Vine in the outer realms, the leaves stirred and the branches crept outwards. Its faint golden luster flickered.

When Chu Feng appeared, his spirit was unexpectedly similar to his real body. Here he came into view where everyone could see him.

“This…” He was rather astonished.

At the summit of the Heavenly Vine was a battlefield and the spiritual world it constructed was reflected clearly. Everyone could see it and it was not much of a difference from reality.

Here, the leaves shook as the scenario shifted. Slowly, the faint golden vine and its leaves became a platform with stones and ancient trees. In addition, one by one, gigantic meteorites emerged in the surroundings before the twinkling star lights served for illumination.

The Heavenly Vine had evolved to become a spiritual fighting platform within the universe.

“Luo Hong!” Chu Feng yelled, already standing there.

In the distance, Luo Hong, the Deity race’s saint had an aloof and indifferent gaze as his long golden hair danced in the breeze. Far away, the constellation vines shone, growing towards here to join up with the Heavenly Vine.

Boom!

A silver chariot appeared, dashing out of an enormous wormhole. Some great figure had rushed here to watch the battle in person.

Originally there were already many experts outside the earth. They originated from various races, including interstellar hunters and the like, all led by a golden arhat. Now it was even more bustling.

Even a saint had come!

“Buzz!”

The sky shook. In an instant, more than ten carriages appeared from different directions as a group of great figures emerged.

Obviously, this was only the beginning and more people would be appearing.

“Heavens! How come so many have arrived? There are even saints!” someone exclaimed, ineffably stunned.

“Just think about what’s happening today. Someone is challenging a saint. How many years has it been since someone has done that? It’s been at least a thousand years, and what if they kill the saint? Most of all, the Heavenly Vine has emerged once again so people couldn’t help but show up. Is this the rise of a genius comparable to Yaoyao?!”

What this person said was the truth. In the eyes of these people, this was a grand occasion of a thousand years. A young expert, who wasn’t a saint, challenging one strongly affected all parts of the starry skies.

At this moment, group after groups of people were hurrying over.

There was a faint gasp as another person appeared on the top of the Heavenly Vine. The entire starry sky was silent and many of the older generations looked as though they’d just seen a ghost before becoming impassioned.

“Princess Yaoyao!”

“She has appeared once again!”

“She’s number one in the entire universe. She has already passed away, but her spirit remains. Having awakened, she has arrived here!”

There was a great clamor outside the earth, and even the saints couldn’t keep quiet.

At this moment, some of the top ten dao children couldn’t sit still and rose up one by one.

“Grandfather, please activate a super wormhole for me. I need to go and spectate this battle myself!”

“Granduncle, please contact the Wormhole Express Company and ask them to open a top-notch wormhole. I want to get there as soon as possible!”

In the depths of the universe, some of the top-ten dao children and the top-ten beauties in the starry skies set off on their journeys in succession. Some did so in order to see Chu Feng challenge the saint first hand, while others wanted to see Yaoyao at close range.

On this day, the entire universe was in turmoil!
