The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 768: New World

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

It was very dark within the divine palace hall. Everyone couldn’t see their own body parts when they looked down nor could they see the people beside them. It was pitch-black and silent as though they had sank into an internal nirvana.

At this moment, a voice rang out in everyone’s hearts telling them they could choose a place to sit cross-legged on the ground. Their physical body would remain here whereas their souls would go on an expedition to obtain the greatest fortune.

A few rules and regulations were only revealed at this final moment in time. If they perished in that terrifying and despairing world that gave people hope as well, their souls would return. After which, they would leave this hall with their physical bodies at the first instance.

Naturally, the truth would be obliterated in the process of returning, and it would be very difficult to bring some memories back with them.

“Treasure this rare opportunity. If you can even bring back a wisp of memory, even that is valuable riches because there may be unique scriptures and secret techniques amongst them. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to touch the essence of that world even after so many years. We could only bring a few simple memory fragments out of that world and grasp a very vague outline.”

Soon after, the souls of these universal geniuses would leave and enter that unknown world. They couldn’t bring their physical bodies and ordinary weapons with them; they could only carry secret spiritual treasures on them, but anything else was out of the question!

After that, the voice disappeared and a robotic voice rang out as it started to countdown. An ancient inherited device was directing everything.

Everyone trembled with fear and centered their spirits to a high degree!

“Wear your armor as a careful precaution!”

Chu Feng used his spiritual communication on Ouyang Feng who was nearby. In just a split second, Chu Feng put on a thirty-six layered spiritual armor known as the Soul Armor.

He didn’t have anything else on him because he really had too many weapons and secret treasures on him. No matter if it was armor for the physical or spiritual body, he had a large pile of them.

That was because before he sold off the saint children and saintesses on Earth, the first thing he did was to peel off the various items they had on them. He didn’t even pass up on the spirit protective objects within their bodies.

Ouyang Feng moved very quickly and put on thirty layers of spiritual armor in one breath too. These were all quality goods that the duo split evenly between themselves.

After that, Chu Feng retrieved tens of physical body armor and put them on, simultaneously throwing a large pile to Ouyang Feng.

“We’re crossing over to another world with our souls to go on an expedition. Our physical bodies need not come along with us, so we have no need for this, right?” Ouyang Feng was dubious.

“I’ll always feel uneasy leaving our physical bodies here without being able to move them. For example, what are we going to do in the event some people amongst those who failed and returned have a go at us?” said Chu Feng.

Even though Ouyang Feng had a tendency to say things that made people uncomfortable, he didn’t raise any objections. He snatched a pile of armor from Chu Feng and wore it right away. He was originally carrying a tortoise shell on his back, but it swelled up even more now and it was practically going to turn into a ball.

The both of them each wore about thirty layers of physical armor in one breath. This was definitely not suitable if they were going into battle because they couldn’t move about freely since it was extremely bulky.

“Let’s go and find where that little girl Qin Luoyin is at,” Ouyang Feng softly communicated with Chu Feng with his shifty eyes.

“Whatever for?” asked Chu Feng.

“Relatively speaking, it’s very safe for us to stand together with her if an unforeseen event really does occur,” said Ouyang Feng.

“It makes sense!” Chu Feng released his spiritual energy and searched this area. He was a little surprised because this dark area of nothingness was a little terrifying. He faced an obstruction before his spiritual energy could reach out much further because it was being consumed at lightning speed.

He finally found her and even found Ying Zhexian, Yuan Yuan, and the Vermillion Bird Fairly. Even the silver-haired little lolita Ying Xiaoxiao was there, too.

The others were very nervous. They were concentrating their spiritual energies to a high degree in preparation to enter another world. Only these two were still talking while moving like thieves.

They even rudely flicked someone to the side along the way, inciting that person’s surprise and anger. But after he let go of his spiritual energy and realized that it was Jun Tuo’s son of the Tyrant Godhead lineage, he immediately restrained his anger.

The final moments of the countdown was approaching!

Chu Feng decisively changed his position and wasn’t that far away from Qin Luoyin and the other now. After that, they discovered that the disciples from Dameng Pure Land had surrounded Qin Luoyin’s group in the form of layers after layers.

It was obvious that they were protecting Qin Luoyin. Dameng Pure Land were on their guard as well. Even if they were in their own territory, they weren’t certain that something wouldn’t go wrong.

“Start!” A robotic voice rang out and everyone felt their spirit light balls leave their bodies in a split second as they rushed toward the darkest region ahead.

This wasn’t controlled; an immense attractive force forcibly pulled everyone’s souls out of their physical bodies and over in that direction.

One could see a field of light balls leaving the ground within that pitch-black main hall and entering a dark unknown land furthest up ahead.

At this final crucial moment, Chu Feng was resisting. After his spirit light ball left his physical body, he didn’t proceed onward with everyone else, but rather resisted it with all his might.

Chu Feng took a glance before he used his spirit to move his physical body in between Ying Zhexian and Qin Luoyin. Only after he did so did he feel safe.

After that, he kicked Ouyang Feng’s physical body that was as swollen as a ball over there.

He then gathered the physical bodies of the hundreds of Dameng Pure Land disciples and crowded them over in their vicinity to act as guards.

Whoosh!

Chu Feng rushed up and was considered to be the last one to leave. He was the last one in line to rush into that darkness.

He was very surprised in this process. When he was carrying spiritual weapons, that Yang realm seed—soul bell—unexpectedly submerged into his spirit light ball so he could take it along with him on his journey.

A black vortex swallowed everyone’s spiritual bodies at the end of this hall. It was very difficult for regular substances to pass through and so, only spiritual bodies could enter it.

In a split second, the sight before Chu Feng’s eyes turned black. After that, he felt as though the sky was spinning and the earth was revolving as he violently flipped over in this immense black vortex.

He had some kind of illusion that this resembled an immense black ocean eye. Stormy seas that could easily slap various enormous life forms into pieces overflowed from the heavens around him as the vortex whirled around him at top speed.

Finally, he was absorbed into the depths of the ocean eye!

At this moment, Chu Feng was concentrating his spiritual energy to a high degree. The thirty-six layers of spiritual armor he had on shone and the Yang realm seed that turned into a black bell shone as it enveloped him.

Whoosh! Chu Feng felt some kind of weightlessness in the next moment as he fell into that black vortex. He was taken to an unknown land and he could feel himself falling.

Upon closer inspection, there was actually a starry sky, but it was very dark since it was tangled up in a layer of mist. After that, he fell at an increasing speed and advanced toward a certain region.

He saw a large unit that resembled a meteor shower. All of them were shining as they assembled together and zipped by from the firmament and were guided toward a large area.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

After tens of breaths, the evolvers in excess of two thousand people fell on the ground. They were all in their spiritual state and no one was an exception. They were all in human form and emitted brilliance.

Everyone was a little at a loss for words. Where was this place? Where was the fortune they wanted to obtain at?

A vast expanse of intensively corrosive black mist that dealt certain damage to soul bodies soared from the ground. Some people amongst them were very unlucky to be standing near the source of the black air. They immediately shrieked and turned into light rain in an instant before the black vortex above the firmament sucked them away.

“It ended just like that?” A few people raised their heads and looked at the few balls of light rain that disappeared. Their journey had ended just as they came to this world. That was too laughable and wasn’t worth it at all.

Kerchack!

All of a sudden, a blood-colored bolt of lightning passed by. Those who were just talking screamed and the tens of people around them yelled out as well. Even if they had rapid reaction speed, they couldn’t dodge, either.

Several dozens of people exploded as the black vortex above the firmament absorbed them, causing them to disappear from then on.

At this moment, no one could laugh. How could they still be in a leisurely mood to make fun of others? They were powerless to defend themselves over here.

A large group of people rapidly dispersed and occupied advantageous terrains to guard against the black mist bubbling up from a few holes in the ground as well as the blood-colored lightning bolt that ineffably appeared.

They were evaluating this world. It was very strange; the world was overcast with lead clouds covering the sky. It was just like nightfall on land and was even darker than that. Wisps of black mist emerged from many holes in the ground one after the other, and it was confirmed that this was a terrifying kind of earth demon that could harm a person’s soul.

There were bloody mountain peaks with lightning swirling around them in the distance. That scarlet lightning bolt from a moment ago that had shot tens of people dead was certainly from a mountain peak.

“Is this a spiritual world?” someone asked.

“No, it’s a very real world!” said an important disciple from Dameng Pure Land as he emphasized that everything they saw was real and they couldn’t treat it as a dream at all costs.

“Even if you can return to your original world if you die, you have to recuperate for a few months at the very least because your spirit was seriously damaged here!” said another disciple from Dameng Pure Land.

After that, they didn’t say anything more because they didn’t understand a lot of things. These were all the results virtuous people from past dynasties sourced out.

Once they returned to their original world, they would forget everything because an ineffable energy would hack their memories and eliminate it, so they could only remember bits and pieces.

Even after the exploration done by innumerable generations, they could only fumble about in this land located in a corner of this universe. It was only a corner and it was still very vague too.

“Those from my clan, let’s journey together and look after each other.”

A large black head stretched over from Ouyang Feng’s side. It was an evolver that possessed the Black Tortoise bloodline named Hei Xuan. His turtle shell was covered densely with patterns and it was completely jet-black.

Ouyang Feng held himself back for a long time as his nose kept discharging smoke. But he finally restrained himself when he saw Chu Feng glaring at him with all his might. He pinched his nose and said, “Alright!”

“Our turtle armor constructed out of spiritual energy and the Dao patterns that still lasts in our body serves as an astonishing defense. We have an advantage here,” said Hei Xuan.

They split up in groups of three or four and dispersed as they investigated the nearby vicinity to understand their current situation.

To their horror, people soon realized that there was a huge problem with all of the holes in the grounds that were emitting black fiendish qi. That was mountains of corpses and seas of blood—it was a huge burial pit with ten thousand people buried within it at the very least.

There ought to be a heavy putrefying stench inside, but they couldn’t smell it because they were in their spiritual bodies.

In the end, they utilized their secret techniques so that they looked as though they had physical bodies in every respect. As for their five senses, they restored them by replacing their physical senses with their spiritual ones.

“What a vile environment!”

Everyone frowned. There was a great fortune in this kind of place?

“Fairy Qin, are you certain all of us will forget everything that happened in here once we leave this place?” someone inquired.

“I am certain. You only need to remember a little bit and will have no recollection of anything else.” Qin Luoyin nodded. She was wearing a multi-colored Soul Armor which protected her very well. At this moment, she was in human form and was no different than she usually was. With her curves, bright eyes and white teeth, she was exceptionally magnificent.

“Very good! I feel relieved now!”

The instant he finished talking, that person brandished a Soul Sword and immediately beheaded a person standing not too far away, killing him in an instant!

“What... are you doing!?” berated the disciple from Dameng Pure Land. Their elders had repeatedly warned them not to have internal strifes here lest there be a huge trouble.

“He was on my nerves for a very long time and I have a grudge to bear with him,” said that person. When he was talking, he brandished multiple swords and completely hacked that person who was struggling and roaring furiously into pieces. That person turned into light rain and disappeared.

A haze emerged in many people’s hearts when they saw that something like this happened just as they arrived. Everyone retreated to each their own and took precautions against one another.

But many people started looking to form alliances. In a short period of time, tens of cavalry of all sizes stood in different directions as the majority of people chose to join hands.

Tens of people stood around Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng, too, because the duo was too powerful. Many people wanted to journey along with them.

But ninety percent of the population were willing to go with people they knew and were familiar with because they felt more at ease that way.

Dameng Pure Land had their eyes on Chu Feng. Many disciples walked over and conversed with Chu Feng in hopes that they could travel with those from Dameng Pure Land rather than for them to be separated.

“Well said!” Chu Feng nodded.

“Everyone, we’d better set off. We have limited time in this so-called one night’s dream.” Someone urged everyone to be on their way as the region before their eyes was too desolate and frightening.

“What we do not lack here is time. Dreaming a hundred years in one night is not just hot air. We just don’t know who can persevere on,” a disciple from Dameng Pure Land muttererd, “over such a long period of time, it’s possible that many people will form Dao couple over here.”

“What did you say?” Ouyang Feng had keen divine senses and had heard him muttering.

“Many spiritual Dao couples have appeared in all the previous meetings,” that disciple softly said before sneaking a glance at a Junior Sister of his standing not too far away.

The majority of the disciples from Dameng Pure Land comprised of females and there were relatively few males in comparison.

Ouyang Feng immediately opened his eyes wide until they were perfectly round as he said to himself, “I have to choose a reliable Dao companion!”

That disciple was speechless.

“Brother Ouyang, a younger cousin sister of mine is here as well. There’s no need for you to choose anymore.” Hei Xuan stretched his large black head forward and passionately introduced his cousin to Ouyang Feng and hinted for him to look at a female mountain turtle not too far away.

Ouyang Feng cursed.

“Wu Lunhui, please come here. That emissary from my Deity Race who came from the primal chaos has something to discuss with you.” At this moment, that direct descendant of the Deity Race personally came over and spoke to Chu Feng in a dry manner.

Chu Feng cast a sidelong glance at him. No matter what, he had once saved a disciple from their race on Earth who then said he was supremely honorable and righteous too.

But after they came here, this direct descendant from that race wasn’t that polite. There was a slightly directive element to the way he didn’t even consult Chu Feng about this matter before he made him go over there right away

He soon knew that it was because the things that happened in here wouldn’t be leaked outside since no one could leave with their memory, so the attitude he had on now didn’t matter at all.

Chu Feng glanced at him but didn’t respond to him.

“Be careful, Brother Wu. I seriously suspect that the emissary from the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace is a golden arhat powerhouse who possesses extremely terrifying strength!” someone softly warned him.

Chu Feng trembled with fear. The person who came from the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace was so frightening?!

“An old genius had violated the rules and entered this world,” muttered another person.

At this moment, Qin Luoyin spoke up, “Everyone, let me stress once more that internal strifes are not tolerated here. In reality, there’s no time for internal discord. either.”

The ground shook just as she finished talking. A frightening bestial roar overflowed from the sky and shook this area before it rumbled over.

“Run!”

Everyone had a great shock of their lives. A silver ferocious beast emitting an abnormally fearful aura stood up at the end of the horizon and ran over, attacking the clouds in the sky as it did so.

This was a silver tyrannosaurus that was more than five hundred meters tall. It had shiny scales and its whole body radiated with a silver white sheen. It was a fearful ferocious beast that was not only at the golden body realm, but was also at the state of perfection. It was possible that it was close to the Quasi-saint realm.

How could they fight? Its strength was far greater than everyone else’s.

Run!

Everyone only had this kind of thought in mind. They turned around and ran. If they really were to confront the tyrannosaurus, they could only die in tragic circumstances and would be throwing their lives for nothing.

“Tiny locusts from a little pond in some foreign land, it is rather unfortunate that you’re all Yin spirits and can’t get stuck in my teeth.” That enormous spirit’s roar sent vibrations everywhere.

It was looking down on them by addressing the universe Chu Feng and the others came from as being a tiny pond.

A group of people were fleeing like mad. Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng charged into the crowd where those from the Dameng Pure Land were at and got close to Qin Luoyin because they believed this sect understood this place the most and would have the best response plan.

Two thousand people fled. After they parted ways, people fled for their lives and charged into the distance one group after the other.

That silver tyrannosaurus that was more than five hundred meters tall loudly roared out behind them. Blood qi surged around its body and flooded the whole region immediately.

In just an instant, the hundreds of people who were left in the rear exploded without exception. They let out blood-curdling screeches and shattered apart in that overflowing scarlet blood qi.

Such a scene was too dreadful!

Even if everyone was in their spiritual forms, they had a feeling akin to their scalps exploding.

It was now verified that they couldn’t make an enemy out of this silver tyrannosaurus at the perfect golden body realm purely on strength alone. It was certainly close to the Quasi-saint realm and if it really were to chase after them, it would most likely annihilate everyone.

Those people from Dameng Pure Land who Qin Luoyin was leading didn’t say a word as they charged straight for a bloody mountain peak in the distance with crimson lightning swirling around it.

This was just as Chu Feng expected; the only chance of survival was probably that incomparably dangerous place!

At the same time, the others had also clearly appraised the situation and were rushing toward those few blood-colored mountain peaks.

The smell of medicine that deeply penetrated into the heart could be detected from a very far distance away. This was fairly shocking because they could even sense it through their spirit bodies!

“Divine medicine!”

“Heavens! There’s sacred medicine atop the bloody mountain peak!”

A few people cried out as they were incomparably shocked. This kind of medicinal ingredient should be effective against one’s spiritual energy. If that wasn’t the case, it would be very difficult to sense it so clearly in their spiritual form.

“Tiny Yin spirits dare to go after the sacred medicine mountain peak too?! You’re courting death!” That terrifying silver tyrannosaurus chased after them from behind and emitted blood qi that overflowed from the sky.

More than a hundred people exploded again and fell far behind the front lines. Once its tyrannical masculine blood qi got close to them, they would immediately crumble like snow coming in contact with the sun.
