The Sacred Ruins



958 Chapter 957 — Talisman paper in hand

Fresh air surged over and blew away the bloody smell of the Hundred Thousand Feet Golden Beast that had fallen from the grassland behind Chu Feng. Auspicious clouds floated in the sky and the mountains and rivers in the distance were picturesque. The nearby immortal peach trees blossomed and the fragrance assailed his nostrils.

Chu Feng took a deep breath and walked out of the grassland and through the forest. He came to the deeper part of the forbidden land and finally escaped from the pursuit.

In the past ten years, he had killed countless saint level entities, from the silver winged dragon to the six-legged Earth Hou, to others. Not to mention that there were saints dying every day, it was more or less the same.

His battle clothes were tattered and his body was covered in bloodstains. The sword in his hand had long since been broken. Now, he was carrying a golden bone staff. It was quite primitive and was the essence of a Super Saint Beast. It was incomparably sturdy.

The Little Vermillion Bird’s eyes flickered. It was much stronger than before and its eyes were full of spirit. It was like a small scarlet sun in mid-air, emitting a fiery red glow.

Chu Feng unfolded the Beast Skin Map and followed the direction of the forbidden mountain range deduced by the crippled heavenly venerate. He searched for the way forward and confirmed the location of the talisman paper.

Chu Feng had long since shed his youth after ten years of battle. Back then, he had consumed divine medicine and returned to his youth. He had become a fourteen or fifteen-year-old youth and had now returned to his golden age.

His body was slender but very strong. Every inch of his skin was filled with divine splendor. Once the energy stored in his cells erupted, it would be like a landslide or tsunami!

It was precisely because of the ten years of continuous fighting, cultivation, and comprehending the path of physical evolution that he had forgotten about everything else. He had broken free from the dark life of losing his parents and a group of family and friends.

Now, he had regained his vigor and was full of fighting spirit.

Chu Feng moved forward and avoided a special area along the way. Not a single blade of grass grew, the land was dark red, and the Earth was cracked. The spiritual energy in the world was so thin that it was almost non-existent. It was too strange.

One had to know that this forbidden area was filled with dense essence of heaven and earth, but this quiet place was so abnormal.

The spiritual energy in other places was normal, but that place was like a vacuum and seemed to be isolated from the outside world.

The Little Vermillion Bird was also suspicious, but it didn’t sense any danger and asked Chu Feng why he was taking a detour.

Chu Feng’s expression was solemn. He had seen this kind of terrain in the inheritance left behind by the SAGEMASTER, and he had also seen it when the stone box was glowing. It was a place of great danger.

“The Red Earth is boundless, the limit of vipralopa,”Chu Feng told it solemnly.

He took out a ten-thousand-year-old herb from his body. It was picked from the road. The fragrance assailed his nostrils and the medicinal properties were very strong, but now he had thrown it into the dark red ground.

In an instant, the herb dried up and lost all its spiritual energy. In the end, it turned into ashes. The wind blew past, and it no longer existed.

“So tyrannical!”The Little Vermillion Bird was shocked.

“More tyrannical than you can imagine!”Chu Feng said with awe.

In the distance, there were creatures spying on them. Chu Feng ignored them and took the little vermillion bird around. Suddenly, a white-eyed wolf rushed out. It emitted holy might and attacked the two from behind.

This wolf was entirely silver-white, and its eyes were also snow-white. It was just like the creatures he had encountered before. It didn’t have its own consciousness and was endowed with life force and bloodthirsty instincts. It was a biochemical killing tool.

Boom!

Its claw pierced through the void and dug towards Chu Feng’s back.

However, what level of cultivation did Chu Feng have now? He had evolved in ten years and was unrivalled at the saint level!

He didn’t even turn his head and turned his body to the left, allowing the ingrate to pounce on nothing. He grabbed its neck and threw it with all his strength, throwing it dozens of kilometers away and dropping it into the red ground.

The following scene made the Little Vermillion Bird terrified. Its large eyes were filled with fear and it couldn’t help but retreat.

“Roar…”

The Saint Wolf only had time to let out a mournful howl before it withered there. Its majestic blood qi and energy had been absorbed by the surface of the Earth.

In an instant, it seemed as if it had aged a hundred thousand years. Its entire body cracked and then turned into dry bones. Its skin and fur rotted and then disappeared.

“What’s Going On?”The Little Vermillion Bird said in shock. It finally understood how terrifying this piece of land was.

“The vipralopa land. Moreover, when it reaches its limit, it will swallow all the energy. Even the laws and order will be absorbed by the surface,”Chu Feng said solemnly.

This was a very unique terrain. It was a land of Extremis born from the nature of the world. Once one fell into it, even a God would die. They would dry up and die.

However, on the silver paper left by the sagemaster, which was the ultimate inheritance of the domain, it was also mentioned that this might have been man-made.

This was somewhat terrifying!

Many planets, even a part of the starry skies, as well as the universe, would one day face the age of vipralopa. Could This be man-made?

However, the mainstream believed that the descent of the age of vipralopa was caused by the world itself.

“The land of vipralopa is the limit. If a planet really becomes like this, then it won’t just be the age of vipralopa, but the end of the world!”

Chu Feng gave a simple introduction. The Little Vermillion Bird couldn’t understand him even if he said too much. Over the past ten years, Chu Feng had also used this opportunity to study domains. Of course, he didn’t have as much time as he did to battle.

That was because the grasslands were too vast and there were countless vicious beasts. He was tired of dealing with them.

“If I don’t understand this, I’ll just rashly walk into that Red Land. How miserable.”The Little Vermillion Bird’s heart was still filled with lingering fear. His mother had died tragically after barging in because she didn’t understand the terrain of the fallen Phoenix Slope.

After making a detour, Chu Feng saw a mountain range in front of him. His fiery eyes immediately became resplendent and transformed into symbols that interweaved in the air.

“Divine Medicine!”

The divine medicine of this world wasn’t simple. Its effects were much stronger than those of the netherworld. It was extremely remarkable to receive the nourishment of yang qi.

Chu Feng was certain that if he really picked it, he would be able to immediately advance to the illumination realm by relying on the order runes contained within the old medicine.

However, after staring at it for a long time, he sighed helplessly. He couldn’t pluck it and was attracted by the small silver tree. Looking at the silver fruit it bore, Chu Feng almost overlooked the mountain.

“This is the heaven-cleaving peak. It contains soaring killing runes. There are records that powerful evolvers in the past used nature as their master and could be said to have learned from the world. Many of the laws of the sword were comprehended from the terrain of the heaven-cleaving peak,”Chu Feng sighed.

It would be fine if the outside world didn’t disturb the tranquility of this terrain. Once one set foot on it, it would disturb its natural equilibrium and erupt with soaring killing intent, killing all who approached.

This made Chu Feng’s eyes turn red. Firstly, he coveted that divine medicine. Secondly, he was envious of this terrain. If he observed it for a long time, he could comprehend the Supreme Sword Dao!

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the time to stay long. In addition, this was a place prepared for evolvers above the divine level to comprehend the Dao. If he couldn’t reach that level, it would be useless to look at the heaven-cleaving peak.

Chu Feng was somewhat dazed. It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen anything good after entering the forbidden area, but rather that he couldn’t take it or obtain it. It really made his heart itch.

This divine medicine would certainly allow him to charge into the illumination domain!

And if it was a divine medicine from the yang-realm, its effects would be even stronger. The so-called divine medicine in the yang-realm corresponded to the level of a god. One could become a god after consuming it!

The world was complete and the order was perfect. The divine medicine naturally contained enough law fragments and its effects were many times stronger.

Chu Feng was slightly distracted and left with the Little Vermillion Bird. In the end, he hadn’t even taken a few hundred steps when he felt that the situation wasn’t quite right. His hair stood on end.

In an instant, the stone box emitted a faint light. He rushed into the inner space with the Little Vermillion Bird and decisively closed the box.

At the last moment, he saw a copy of himself. It was exactly the same as him, but there was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth. It was somewhat cold and malicious. He was going to kill him.

Bang!

The stone box flew out and crashed into the mountains. Apparently, it had just been hit.

However, there was no movement after that. It was completely silent.

There was a moment of silence inside the stone box. Chu Feng’s face was full of solemnity and he felt slightly terrified. Why was there another copy of himself?

“Did you see it?”Chu Feng asked the Little Vermillion Bird.

“I saw it,”the Little Vermillion Bird said in a low voice. It was timid and somewhat uneasy. How could there be two Chu Feng’s? If he accidentally walked together with the fake one and closed it in a box, it would truly make its body shiver.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Chu Feng opened the stone box and looked out through the crack. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as a person suddenly appeared not too far away and directly attacked him!

He was truly terrified because he could sense that person’s aura was actually the same as his and their strength was similar.

This strange first forbidden area made Chu Feng’s hair stand on end.

He closed the stone box, but the outside world fell silent again.

Chu Feng sat cross-legged in the space of the stone box and pondered silently. Finally, he told the little vermillion bird, “Wait here and don’t go out!”

“Don’t. If you lose, that malicious spirit will come in and be with me. That scene is too terrifying…”the Little Vermillion Bird’s large eyes were clear and filled with fear.

“What are you talking about? I’m going to destroy him!”Chu Feng rushed out with a swoosh. He quickly closed the stone box and put it away. Almost at the same time, the opposite Chu Feng charged over with a cold smile on his face. He was carrying a golden bone staff, he attacked directly.

Chu Feng’s eyebrows jumped. He was also holding a golden bone club in his hand. He fiercely rushed forward to meet the attack.

Boom!

Just this one attack caused the heaven and earth to shake violently. Saint level energy poured out and this mountain area sank for dozens of kilometers. They fell into the deep pit created by the impact and continued to kill each other.

If this wasn’t a forbidden area, who knew how the battle would have turned out if the club had struck down.

The two fought fiercely and used terrifying methods. Blood splattered in all directions. Chu Feng was injured and half of that person’s body was also stained with blood.

However, some areas couldn’t be moved. Moreover, the Earth and rocks were displaying mysterious symbols. It was very astonishing.

“Swoosh!”

Chu Feng rushed to the surface and fought with this person. His expression was solemn as he muttered to himself, “It really is this kind of terrain!”

He recognized it. There was a record in the silver paper that even the sagemaster hadn’t thoroughly studied and obtained by accident — the reflection of mountains and rivers.

The mountains and rivers contained strange patterns of heaven and earth. They were like mirrors and could reflect all the divine abilities and laws of a creature. They were quite terrifying.

If a group of creatures entered this kind of terrain, they would only reflect the strongest.

It could be said that that person was the reflection of Chu Feng. He was fighting with the laws he had comprehended. This mountain range was too strange, and even his physical body seemed to have been constructed.

However, Chu Feng knew that this was the deduction of laws. It looked like flesh and blood, but in reality, it was order and so on.

At first, these runes almost blinded his fiery eyes. This was enough to show how terrifying it was.

Chu Feng didn’t retreat or run away. On the path of evolution, sometimes his greatest enemy was actually himself. In the future, he would have to face people from the yang-realm. They were all very terrifying. Therefore, he had to be strict with himself, hoping to continuously surpass himself.

This battle was somewhat tragic. Chu Feng fought with him until the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. The Sun and Moon were dim. He constantly reviewed his battle with himself and found that he hadn’t investigated enough.

In the end, he ended the battle and almost lost half of his life.

It was best to use tricks and unconventional methods to deal with this kind of reflection body. Chu Feng fought with “Himself”and experienced enough time. Naturally, he didn’t want to grind his real body to death, he ended the battle with unusual methods.

He decisively rushed out of this area. He didn’t want to see his reflection again after a while.

Chu Feng was very cautious on the following road. He avoided many terrifying terrains and resolved the death tribulation. Otherwise, he would die without a doubt if he barged in.

He had some feelings now. The page of silver paper left behind by the SAGEMASTER was too useful. Some of the terrains described allowed him to predict what was ahead.

Although he couldn’t resolve it and hadn’t reached that level, he could see what the terrain was in advance and avoid it.

If it wasn’t for the silver paper, he wouldn’t have been able to recognize it.

Of course, the mountains and rivers on the stone box were also reference objects. The terrain of the first forbidden land was similar to the one above.

Ordinary domain researchers wouldn’t come into contact with things of this level and would naturally enter by mistake.

Chu Feng sighed. The combination of the silver paper and the stone box was equivalent to a safe map!

However, after a few days, he could no longer laugh. This was because the area ahead was filled with danger zones. They were connected one by one, layer after layer. This time, even if he recognized them, there was no way forward.

“We’ve arrived. This should be the first of the Nine Heavens!”The Little Vermillion Bird’s voice trembled.

“What do you mean?”Chu Feng turned back to look at it.

“Didn’t Grandpa Stone Fox tell you? There are a total of nine heavens at the center of the first forbidden land. We’ve truly arrived at the depths of this forbidden land,”the Little Vermillion Bird replied.

Chu Feng only knew that the core area of the first forbidden land was the same as the flow of time in the Yang realm. He had no idea that it was divided into the so-called nine heavens.

For a moment, his face turned green. He had walked for so long and had been trapped in the great prairie for ten years. He had only approached the depths of the forbidden land after bypassing many dangerous lands? ! In the past, he had always been in… The outer regions? !

He thought he had entered the core area of the forbidden land after passing through the great prairie.

He had the impulse to curse!

There was no way forward. Even if he became a sagemaster in the domain research field one day, he wouldn’t be able to do it. He was still insufficient and couldn’t charge into those dangerous lands.

Several kilometers away, those legendary terrifying terrains all had the power to suppress the heavens. They were connected to each other and completely cut off the life and death of yin and yang. Under normal circumstances, there was no way to enter.

“Hey, wait a minute!”Chu Feng opened up the Beast Skin Map. This was the divination map that the old Fox had given him.

“The talisman might have appeared in this area and isn’t within the Ninth Heaven of the Forbidden Land!”Chu Feng was puzzled.

On the beast skin map, the Old Fox had drawn a black skull out of bad taste. He had originally thought it was a terrifying terrain that he needed to pay attention to, but he hadn’t expected it to be the entirety of the Ninth Heaven of the forbidden land.

“Let’s Find It!”Chu Feng and the Little Vermillion Bird began to move.

“There’s a table over there!”Outside the ninth-heaven forbidden ground, there was an old and shabby table. It was completely carved out of rocks and was rough and ancient.

One of the table’s legs was missing a section, just like the crippled heavenly venerate. Its body was incomplete.

What caught Chu Feng’s attention the most was that there were two talisman papers on the table. One of them was white and flawless, its entire body was translucent, and the other was dark green. It was full of vitality.

“Two Talisman Papers!”Chu Feng’s heartbeat quickened. They were no longer in the ninth heaven, but outside!

The two tried to move them with their spiritual energy, but the result was ineffective!

In addition, there was another table in the first heaven of the Ninth Heaven of the forbidden land. It was a jade table, and there was also a talisman paper on it. It flickered with purple light and was extremely sacred.

“Be careful!”Chu Feng brought the Little Vermillion Bird into the stone box and moved forward bit by bit. Their target was the two talisman papers on the Lame Stone Table.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly. In the end, Chu Feng successfully caught the two talisman papers in his hands!

They retreated quickly, but in the end, there wasn’t much danger along the way.

“It’s very easy!”Chu Feng was surprised. The crippled Old Fox had said that he had saved up quite a number of talisman papers. It wasn’t a small amount and he should be able to get them. This… wasn’t a lie?

“There’s someone!”The Little Vermillion Bird pulled at his sleeve and pointed towards the ninth heaven of the forbidden land.

In that instant, Chu Feng’s hair stood on end and his eyes widened in shock. This was the first time he had lost his composure like this.

He saw a hunchbacked old man dressed in gray clothes slowly walking out from the deepest part of the forbidden land. He had come from the ninth heaven and had arrived at the first heaven.

He was trembling and could fall at any moment. He held a scarlet talisman in his hand that was as beautiful as the sunset. He was old and frail as a dragon’s bell. He came to the jade table and placed the scarlet talisman on it. It was next to the Purple Talisman.

Another one had been sent out from the depths of the forbidden area!

The Little Vermillion Bird was shocked to see this scene with her own eyes.

Then, the hunchbacked old man raised his head and smiled towards the outside. Chu Feng’s hair stood on end in an instant. In his eyes, that seemingly peaceful smile was actually very malevolent!

That was because he could see with his fiery eyes that this hunchbacked old man was completely made of gray matter. He was actually responsible for sending out talisman papers? !
