The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 707: Grief and Mourning

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Mu Qinghan was wearing purple battle clothes that made her look graceful and luxurious. Her beautiful and thick hair was pulled up high while the golden dangling ornaments between her hair swayed. She cast a sidelong glance at someone with her phoenix eyes, wearing a faint smile on her snow-white face.

She was a saint from the Spirit Race and came from the same era as Yaoyao. She once fought with Yaoyao on the heavenly vine and was almost killed. At that time, Yaoyao had suppressed her to the point of despair.

However, she had become a saint after so many years had passed!

She was incomparably hostile toward Yaoyao and Earth, so the Spirit Race actively participated in the encirclement and annihilation operation this time with large forces.

“Naturally, there won’t be mishaps. This savage planet can be flattened in a single battle. From now on, it’ll become the hunting ground for our disciples.”

A powerhouse from the Deity Race nodded. Even though he was very easy-going, his strength extended to unfathomable depths. Moreover, he came from one of the strongest races in the cosmos, so he possessed a sense of dignity to him.

“Yeah, this planet was glorious once and was extremely powerful during ancient times. It’s recovering once more, just in time to help our disciples succeed. From now on, this is a place for improvement,” said another saint.

The saints from Xilin Clan, Dameng Pure Land, Netherworld Race, and many others were present. The strength of the group of people was universally shocking. They stood in outer space outside Earth, looking down at them.

As for the large group of evolvers at the golden body realm, although they were very powerful too, they couldn’t interject at all as they stood far away in silence.

The composition of the evolvers at the golden body realm was very complex. Some of them came from powerful ancient sects, while others came from a few evolved imperial courts, and there were also some who were galactic pirates and planet galaxy explorers.

Now, it was finally time to divide the benefits. The eyes of the troops from every division were twinkling.

“That’s not the case!” The person reporting to his superiors was gasping for breath. He thought the words he spoke was sufficiently clear, but in the end, he realized that the saints had misunderstood him.

At the same time, he was terrified in his heart. If the saints couldn’t hold their face after the truth was exposed, would they slap him so strongly that he would explode and turn into a pool of blood?

At this moment, not only was his body trembling, but his soul was throbbing, too. His whole being practically went weak right there.

“What’s going on?” asked a saint. He furrowed his brows and looked at the person reporting to them. A disturbing feeling grew in his heart because the person reporting to them held fear in his eyes and even despair.

“Reporting to saint. S-Something big has happened on the planet below!” This person was shivering and a layer of white sweat seeped out on the surface of his body. He braced himself and said, “The allied troops were completely annihilated!”

Silence fell all around them in a flash.

Everyone stopped talking and even their heartbeats disappeared. One after the other, the powerful evolvers froze on the spot and were absolutely silent.

It was too quiet, so silent that the outer space resembled the dead. It was as though the troops from every end were petrified as they didn’t move an inch.

Mu Qinghan, the female saint from the Spirit Race, had been wearing a gentle smile on her face, but now, the expression on her face froze in that split second. Her graceful and luxurious aura vanished, and in its place, a kind of netherworldly chill filled the air.

Her pupils shrunk and her scarlet lips gradually turned purple. The attitude she had before whereby everything was in her grasp disappeared in a flash, and what was left was a somber and desolate aura.

At the same time, she felt humiliated in her heart, to the extent that she felt a kind of shame and resentment. What she had said about everything being within her expectations had unexpectedly manifested in this manner.

At this moment, she felt as though she had been slapped across the face, and it was scorchingly painful.

The powerhouse from the Deity Race was also stunned at this moment. It was as though he was a clay figurine or a wooden carving. His whole body was completely rooted there.

The saints from Dameng Pure Land, Mechanical Race, Xilin Clan, Great Qi Dynasty, and Netherworld Race were stunned. They had been discussing how to divide Earth’s spoils just now, and how to evenly divide those historical remains, famous mountains, and great rivers. But now, it was as though everyone had been slapped across the face.

They were calm and confident in anticipating that they would emerge victorious in this war and annihilate the thorns on Earth who dared to go against the will of every race in the starry sea. Since then, this planet had been reduced to a colony.

How could they have anticipated an outcome like this!?

It was indeed a total annihilation, but it wasn’t the destruction of this savage planet’s natives, rather those thorns who defied the natural order had annihilated the allied troops from every race!

“Impossible!” cried out a galactic pirate at the golden body realm. He was extremely violent as a ruthless and tyrannical light sparkled in his eyes. That was because his own grandson had led a group of pirates to enter Earth. It was difficult for him to accept this outcome.

A planet galaxy explorer also panted heavily as he said, “How is such an ending possible? Almost ten thousand evolvers attacked and our large army bore down on the border. Even if everyone on this planet rebelled, they wouldn’t be able to stand up against us at all. How could we face such a crushing defeat, and worse still, be completely annihilated!?”

Earth’s outer space was like a fryer. Powerful life forms like the golden arhats were stirred up, and they questioned the outcome of this expedition because they truly didn’t dare to believe that was the case.

Before this, they had thought of all kinds of possibilities. Maybe some amongst those evolvers on Earth would escape, and it was likely that they weren’t completely annihilated. But they never would’ve thought that the allied troops comprised of every race from the outer realms would face such a crushing defeat, and it was total annihilation as well!

“Shut up!” exclaimed a quasi-saint, maintaining the order in place of the powerhouse present as he exuded an imposing stance.

The faces of the saints from every race sank at this moment like water. An extremely frightening aura filled the air in a flash. Everyone in the vicinity fell silent and shivered.

After the saints got angry, Earth’s outer space trembled, and the sound of an explosion erupted as various indistinct order runes appeared, suppressing the whole world.

Pffft!

Everyone crouched down. The golden arhats from each of the great evolutionary sects who weren’t quasi-saints ranging from the galactic pirates to a few darkness hunters were physically weak and quaked in fear. They trembled under the might of the saints and were boundlessly terrified.

In the blink of an eye, this news travelled to the starry seas and a few platforms reported this news.

Soon, the outcome of this battle seemed to have grown wings and flew to every area of the cosmos. A lot of evolvers on hospitable planets got wind of this whereas more thorough and detailed news was delivered to the tables of many powerful individuals.

More than nine thousand evolvers and even close to a hundred evolutionary sects were involved. An allied troop like this was actually defeated and engulfed by a native of what they thought to be a waning planet.

Not a single person escaped!

At that time, only a handful of spies didn’t enter Eternal Island. That scene they saw through the dense fog in the Eastern Seas made their bodies turn cold, and their blood practically froze.

Great Demon Chu appeared on Earth again!

He did everything!

News resembling thunderclaps spread, making the ears of the evolvers from every race ring.

News of Chu Feng leaving Earth and entering the starry sea had been circulating recently. There were even rumors that he was the one who caused the huge incident in the Xilin Clan’s cosmos Black Prison.

“Ah! Demon Chu, I want to skin your scalp and pour it into mermaid fat before lightning you up as a sky lantern!” someone shrieked and let out a long howl with disheveled hair.

“You good-for-nothing! Almost over ten thousand people and horses were deployed, yet they couldn’t even take down a bunch of small demons. But rather, they were terror-stricken at the news of a Demon Chu’s attack and the whole army was defeated and dispersed. What face do they have left? They should just die!”

“Sire, it is true that almost everyone was exterminated. Practically no one survived!”

“Ah! Did my grandson die, too? Even if I have to endure the pain, I will kill Chu Feng and all those natives!”

There was a huge commotion in the starry skies because the impact of this matter was too great. It involved too many sects, and the ones who led the troops were the favorites of a few elders from each race.

Besides, even if they weren’t saint children, they were the grandchildren of a few cosmic pirates and the disciples of the explorers. How could they have ever suffered such a great loss? A few old demons also went mad.

As for the Deity Race, Xilin Clan, and Dameng Pure Land, it was as though a hurricane swept through them. Heavy Yang qi permeated in the community, and the atmosphere was so oppressive to the point where it was close to being suffocating.

They couldn’t accept such a conclusion to the war!

One had to bear in mind that this time was unlike before. They had mustered a large force with so many troops and even appealed to every race to work as one to conquer the savage planet together.

In the end, the allied troops had been completely annihilated!

This made their faces burn with pain because this slap across their faces was too resounding. They knew that an unknown amount of people saw them as a joke.

The top ten weren’t that harmonious. The Deity Race and the Netherworld Race faced too vicious of a setback this time. They were clearly aware that they had been seriously challenged, so their might and influential power could possibly decline.

They had suffered a huge loss from Chu Feng’s end on more than one occasion. Their divine sons had been beheaded before, and this time, they had suffered such a huge defeat again. He used his domain to eliminate more than nine thousand people by himself which made their heart ache to the extreme. They were so filled with hate that they were on the verge of going crazy.

“The reporter from the Quasi-Immortal Race residing on Earth reports to you with the latest news: the allied army has been completely exterminated and faced a disastrous defeat on Mount Eternal. Earth’s evolver named Chu Feng dominated everyone with his domain.”

“The latest newsflash from the Buddhist Race: the saints of the allied troops in Earth’s outer space are furious, thereby making many evolvers at the golden body realm suffer. Someone even fell.”

“This is a newsflash from the live broadcasting platform reporter under the banner of the Black Blood Arena: Chu Feng has captured the Myriad Star Physique, Innocuous Divine Physique, and Origin Magnetic Sacred Physique alive. He single handedly defeated all three of the great physiques!”

The cosmos’ starry sky completely flared up!

It wasn’t possible to cover up news of this battle because those who paid attention to this battle weren’t limited to those who personally participated in the battle, namely the Deity Race and Netherworld Race. Rather, the neutral evolutionary sects were closely following the reports, too.

The Quasi-Immortal Race and Buddhist Race in particular were actually reporting the details of this battle. The Origin Beast Platform and Black Blood Arena were conducting detailed exploitations, revealing all kinds of details.

Everything was perilous. One climax followed another amongst every large galaxy. Countless evolvers were dumbstruck. Everyone was speechless for a very long period of time after understanding the details, but finally, they were in a clamor again.

Until now, Demon King Chu’s savagery could be said to be known by everyone. Such a great movement surprised everyone to the point where their chins dropped while simultaneously turning many people’s bodies cold.

Only half a day had passed. A large ship left the foggy area on the ocean outside Eternal Island with Chu Feng and a bunch of great demons sitting atop it.

They actually appeared so boldly and issued a statement, calmly facing the evolvers of every path in the starry skies. In particular, they permitted the intelligence gatherers residing on Earth to interview them.

Chu Feng expressed that he was in charge of this matter.

Motherf*cker!

After the relevant enemy parties heard the news, they wanted to beat him to death. He still dared to come out and pretend to be the big bad wolf after causing such a terrifying matter. He was really too shameful and hateful!

“I bear such grief. I will mourn the death of the casualties here!”

The tone Chu Feng used was a serious one. He was actually giving a speech which startled the enemy to the point where their jaws dropped.

Many people wanted to say, What are you grieving for? Weren’t you the one who killed them all?

“One has to know how to treasure their lives. How can they neglect their own lives and abandon it as they please?” Chu Feng solemnly said. He didn’t have stage fright when facing the camera lens. He was very calm and held a sincere and honest stance as he said, “We only have one life. We can’t repeat it and start from the beginning. I advise everyone to stop doing this.”

The people and horses from every race were chaotic in the wind. What was this demon babbling about? What was he trying to do by assuming such an attitude here? Was he mourning the dead and warning those who would come later?

However, they quickly realized that this demon didn’t do so out of some kind of goodness of his heart. He quickly changed the tune of the remarks he was making.

“We are deeply pained as we commemorate the deaths here. The dead have already left this world, and those still in the world of the living should draw on them as an example and stop wasting their lives away. Everyone, life should be cherished. We should strive for self-improvement while we are still alive and conduct ourselves with dignity. Don’t send dinner over again because you guys are too weak!”

He was slapping them across the face... while maintaining a solemn expression! He carried himself with this kind of decency, yet the words he spoke made the powerhouses of every race from the outer realms so hateful that they gritted their teeth. They really wanted to slap him across the face and kill him.

“Alright, the mourning is over. I’ll return to the main topic at hand. I’ll be organizing a charity dinner auction in three days. Naturally, I took the fact that everyone is from distant galaxies that are far away into consideration and that ninety percent of you graced us with your presence with much difficulty. Therefore, everyone can participate in the auction with the help of the interstellar Internet. The profits from the auction will be used to help the native evolvers of Mount Eternal, so I hope everyone can participate when the time comes and support the Earth.

“Yes, if the Deity Race, Xilin Clan, Dameng Pure Land, and Netherworld Race need special invitations, I can urgently refine a few for you guys. Relax, this golden invitation of mine won’t be like those from Dameng Pure Land that becomes invalid when they say so. I solemnly vow that it’s effective throughout your lifetime. You guys are welcome to my auction at any time to participate and buy any items you wish. I guarantee that I will be intimately related with you all!”

His words made the evolvers from every race dumbfounded. They knew that he was definitely going to do something big!

As for the Deity Race, Dameng Pure Land, and Xilin Clan, every single one of them felt as though their faces had been swatted by a fan and swelled up, burning in pain. Everyone felt shocked and angry at the same time.

“Oh right, I forgot to introduce the items being auctioned this time. Other than our shop’s specialties—saint children and saintesses, we’re also auctioning various secret treasures that have piled up like a mountain. In addition to that, we have other secondary items being auctioned. We are currently trying to extract the rare and precious bloodlines of the Myriad Star Physique, Innocuous Divine Physique, and Origin Magnetic Sacred Physique. If we succeed, we’ll definitely put it on the market.”

Many people were stunned in the starry skies. The bloodlines of the evolvers possessing the three great unrivalled physiques were going to be sold!? He could extract them!?

Not only could normal evolvers not sit still, but even a few powerhouses and the old ancestors of the most top-notch orthodoxies couldn’t, either. There was an uproar.

As for the Spirit Race, the influential power behind the Origin Magnetic Sacred Physique, they were stupefied in the first moments of hearing such news before going mad. A few saints stood up and wanted nothing more than to kill their way to earth.
