The Sacred Ruins

At this moment, Chu Feng was really thinking a lot. This place was too special. When he initially passed through this place, he personally felt the resurgence of demonic and nefarious qi. It was strange yet frightening.

Now, Yaoyao’s grandfather had arrived and was roaring over here. Could it be that this place was connected to the Yang Realm and there was someone in charge to guard this place? Chu Feng harbored his doubts about that!

If that was true, it would truly astound the whole world. Just what was the so-called Yang Realm like? Could he go over there and get to the bottom of things some day?

But Chu Feng thought of another problem. The young lady from the Yang Realm had a rather shocking background. Unparalleled experts within her race personally attended to garrison duty, but they too were only researching the Yang Realm and couldn’t find the path there.

Many big shots in the Netherworld Realm even had doubts whether the Yang Realm truly existed.

Under such circumstances, it would be extremely terrifying should a person from the Yang Realm be in charge of guarding this area. This pond was too deep!

But Chu Feng felt that he was probably thinking too much. This place wasn’t a place that could be run by people from one or two generation nor was it a place that could be guarded by one or two peerless experts.

He thought of the Radiant City of Death and that millstone that had rolled over saints, turning them into a bloody pulp. There were even corpses belonging to that of phoenixes, the dragon race, and living beings at the heavenly-illumination realm that had been ground into a bloody pulp. He couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down his spine.

At the end of the Reincarnation Road, there was a deep black pool like that as well and an ancient cave on the opposite side. Other than that, there was a clay fetus. The more he pondered about it, the more he found it terrifying.

Yaoyao’s grandfather roared loudly. After he charged in, Chu Feng rapidly told the sagemaster and Yaoyao what he had gone through last time. After which, the sagemaster’s expression changed and he followed suit right away.

Chu Feng took out the stone box right away. There was still a little bit of Reincarnation Fire left within it. He intentionally kept it in hopes that he could return to the Radiant City of Death one day to take a look. He followed Yaoyao and entered the cave.

Woo, woo, woo…

All of a sudden, a strange sound rang out like hundreds of millions of imps whispering. Even if the sagemaster was beside him, Chu Feng felt a sinister chill in the depths of his bones running through his whole body. It was the same feeling as when he first walked to this place.

After which, he opened his Fiery Eyes, but it was similar to the previous time. This place was too wicked and even the strongest eye technique was useless because it couldn’t see through everything.

But it was enough to truly feel that an inexplicable thing that was blowing cold air at his neck had appeared in this place.

Moreover, the sagemaster let out a cold snort at this time. He abruptly brandished the Star-Studded Whip in his hand and smashed the void open with an explosive bang. When he did so, a strange, miserably cry could be heard.

Even if that was the case, Chu Feng couldn’t see what it was.

After which, he was speechless for a moment. There was pitch black paint on his body and many tiny handprints on them. It was unknown as to what being had patted him, yet these entities dared to mess about under the sagemaster’s eyelids.

Chu Feng’s scalp exploded. He looked at the Reincarnation Fire in his hands. It really was like a bean for its flames were too small. It probably couldn’t suppress the evil in this area.

At this moment, the sagemaster stopped and so did Chu Feng and Yaoyao.

Yaoyao’s grandfather stopped right ahead. He would enter a rift in the void if he continued along for some distance; it was also the secret room Chu Feng initially saw. There were a few powerhouses from tens of thousands of years ago who had been scared to death alive in that secret room.

However, Yaoyao’s grandfather didn’t go in. His intention wasn’t to enter purgatory, but rather he wanted to howl and roar at the depths of this mine where it forked off.

Chu Feng was shocked because he saw light flourishing all throughout Yaoyao’s grandfather’s body when he suddenly roared; his entire being was as brilliant as the sun.

At this moment, the sagemaster released a protective divine light in a hurry right in front of him, protecting Chu Feng and Yaoyao.

It was as though the old man had gone mad. After which, this was the first time Chu Feng saw an ineffable item. Outside Yaoyao’s grandfather’s body, a layer of dazzling Yang qi protecting his body shed light to a few things.

There was a young girl running and enormous monsters revealing their shadows and letting out long howls. Initially, they couldn’t be seen with the Fiery Eyes, but they revealed themselves now under the burning Yang qi.

These things were actually audacious to the extreme. They surrounded themselves close to Yaoyao’s grandfather, pressing against him and slapping him. Chu Feng immediately knew where the small handprints on his body came from.

Following Yaoyao’s grandfather’s roar, those things and those strange shadows exploded.

But this resembled a kind of special energy. After they exploded, they rapidly regrouped and turned into young girls, beautiful ladies, and various monsters before they pounced forward once more.

Bang!

Yaoyao’s grandfather no longer bothered with these beings. He charged toward what looked like the depths of the abyss’ mine and roared once more, “Give me… the legendary medicine!”

At last, even the sagemaster felt ice-cold and the hair all over his body stood upright.

Chu Feng firmly believed that Yaoyao’s grandfather wasn’t charging straight to purgatory. He was only aiming at something in the depths of the mine!

At this moment, even the sagemaster was taken aback. He was born on ancient Earth and had lived on Kunlun for a very long time, yet he didn’t even know there was an ineffable existence here.

He only knew that this road was very dangerous!

“Let’s go and take a look!” The sagemaster naturally didn’t feel at ease letting Yaoyao’s grandfather enter alone for fear that he would encounter a mishap.

This pit was very deep and accurately speaking, it was considered to be an abyss. The sinister and cold aura in the road heading inward was simply going to freeze a person’s soul.

Chu Feng was in awe. Initially, he didn’t dare to thoroughly investigate this place. He didn’t look around much when he passed by, but now, he was convinced that that was a wise choice.

This abyss was tens of meters deep. The path onward was headed downward, and it was boundlessly dark; one couldn’t see their fingers if they stretched out their hands. There was no longer the sound of wailing ghosts; it was completely silent.

But this was getting more terrifying. On the road, they saw a layer of dried up bones on the ground. After they stepped on it, it made a crisp sound as they fell apart and broke into pieces.

After which, Chu Feng practically didn’t dare to believe his own eyes. He saw half a dragon’s head that was glittering and translucent bearing the most divine halo. Even if thick layers of dust were covering it, its brilliance still shone through.

Chu Feng had a kind of feeling that this probably could be the real dragon race. A terrifying existence had been killed here and half its skull was left behind!

The sagemaster was in awe as he said, “This is an expert at the heavenly-illumination realm! He died here!”

Chu Feng and Yaoyao’s hearts shuddered when they heard this. What kind of place was this deep pit exactly?

“At the very minimum, these carcasses are more than five million years old. They were considered to be experts during their time and even far longer before. It’s possible that they’re more than tens of millions years old!” said the sagemaster.

What ineffable war happened on the mother planet tens of millions of years ago? This was far earlier than ancient times. During that time, the evolvers on this planet had yet to rise, yet this kind of great matter had already happened!?

But no one in the cosmos was informed and there was practically no record of this; the outer realm was not clear of the terrifying war that occurred here!

Chu Feng suddenly thought of the stone box and the three seed he had on him. He had picked them up from Mount Kunlun, too. Did it have anything to do with the war from ancient times?

When he saw half of the dragon’s head, he recalled the dragon race’s first expert from hundreds and millions of years ago that was also the number one powerhouse in the cosmos during that time. Before he died, he suspected that Kunlun had what he was looking for when he saw Kunlun’s topography.

But at that time, the cosmos’ number one expert was about to die and couldn’t find Earth’s exact coordinates.

The experts of the future generations found the battle here based on the carved diagrams the number one powerhouse from the dragon race reproduced before he died, after which the war ensued. Or was it that the war had already happened before the dragon race’s number one expert had deduced it to be so?

For a moment, a myriad of thoughts and ideas filled Chu Feng’s mind.

“Don’t touch the skeletons here; there’s acute poison!” warned the sagemaster for Chu Feng not to simply touch things.

Chu Feng looked sheepish as he immediately stopped. He wanted to rub the dust off half of that true dragon’s head when he originally saw it to put it away. This item was definitely a most valuable and treasured material for refining items.

One initially couldn’t see their fingers when they stretched out their hand in the abyss. The brilliance of normal energy couldn’t blossom here, but everything wasn’t a problem with a sagemaster present.

“The cosmos’ first poisonous insect!” At this moment, the sagemaster inhaled a cold breath as he gazed on the carcass on the ground.

It was about three hundred meters long, so it wasn’t especially large, but it was comparatively malicious. It had the head of a snake, the body of a spider, the length of a centipede, the tail of a scorpion, and the old lumpy skin of a toad. Its body was gold and glaringly bright. So many years had passed, yet it was still as vivid as though it were alive.

“Such a thing actually exists!” The sagemaster had a serious expression on his face.

Based on the sagemaster’s explanation, this was the remnants of a poisonous insect that had evolved to the highest level and was known as the cosmos’ first poisonous insect. When it was weak and small, it could be a poisonous snake, a scorpion, a centipede, and so on. It evolved from an ordinary poisonous insect until it matured into its ultimate state and metamorphosed into this form.

This was the poisonous insect’s ultimate form!

Its poison could specially corrode souls and poison an existence at the heavenly-illumination realm to death. It was the kind of living being that was truly terrifying without compare. Normally, it was difficult to see one even over the course of millions upon millions of years.

“Its flesh can withstand the attack of a powerhouse at the heavenly-illumination realm. As for its soul poison, there’s no cure for it at all!”

The sagemaster had a serious expression on his face as he increasingly felt how terrifying this place was. It was actually on Earth, but they just didn’t know it at that time.

There was a fatal wound on the ultimate poisonous insect’s head. A single scar made by a sword that penetrated the cranium, grinding its soul to the point where it left its shell and died right here.

“The evolver who can kill it in a single blow is very terrifying and extraordinary!” The sagemaster was incomparably stern.

The first poisonous insect in the cosmos was considered to be a taboo existence. Even old ancestors from each and every sect didn’t dare to provoke it, unless they brought out the top ten great sect-guarding weapons to attack it!

Chu Feng was a little numb. He saw half the skull of a true dragon and saw an ultimate poisonous insect. This place gave him far too many unexpected surprises.

Moving onward, there were more and more bones. Not only were they everywhere, but there were a few inexplicable skeletons hanging on the stone walls. It was extremely difficult to imagine the kind of battle that happened here that year as well as the number of people who died.

“People from the Yang Realm!” exclaimed Yaoyao as she stared in front of her. There was a vast open land in the abyss that resembled a battlefield. Yang qi surged and dispersed the sinister air previously present.

There were many shining corpses on this very piece of land. Even if they were already dead, they were emitting Yang qi like active volcanoes. Blood and vitality surged like smoke signals as they charged right up.

Chu Feng inhaled a cold breath and said, “These people are also the ones who died in the battle that happened millions and millions of years ago?”

“Yes!” The sagemaster nodded. His body was shining as he shielded Chu Feng. If not, Chu Feng wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

After dying for so long, blood and vitality spouted like active volcanoes and the Yang qi was so rich to the point where it was boiling. This was practically inconceivable!

“This is… the powerhouses of the Yang Realm! They fought to the death here!” exclaimed Yaoyao.

There was nothing much to be said. The twelve corpses sprawled here were at the heavenly-illumination realm, at the very least. Some individuals had their heads ripped open, some individuals had terrifying bloody holes where their glabellas were, while some had been hacked right down the middle.

The sagemaster suddenly stopped and Chu Feng and Yaoyao followed suit.

The reason being was because the old man in front of them had come to a stop. At this moment, he had walked to the end of the abyss and there was no path left for him to tread on.

An enormous door stood in his way. It was completely silver-white and was three kilometers high; it was sturdy and imperishable. Even if millions upon millions of years had passed, it still had an ice-cold sheen as it blocked the path going forward.

Half of a dragon’s skull had been wedged off in front of the great silver doors. When the door closed that year, it wrung a terrifying expert from the dragon race to pieces!

Chu Feng was horrified. He recalled that half dragon skull he saw earlier on because it was comparable to this one!

What was this place? His heart trembled. He had followed Yaoyao’s grandfather for some reason to the end of such an abyss and actually saw these terrifying truths.

“It can’t be that the Yang Realm is really connected behind this gigantic silver door, right?” asked Yaoyao.

“Even if it isn’t, it has something to do with the Yang Realm!” The sagemaster had a serious expression on his face. The ten or so corpses belonging to the bigshots from the Yang Realm he had seen along the was was still so shocking even until today. How did they come over from the Yang Realm and why did they arrive at this place? They definitely must have some kind of mission!
