Yan Jin's breakthrough to the Nine Star Dou Sheng is undoubtedly a great joy for the Flame Clan.
While the Gu Clan are indeed powerful, the Flame Clan in the future will no longer be something they can destroy at will. Even the Gu Clan must begin to take a Nine Star Dou Sheng expert seriously.
After Yan Jin emerged from seclusion, Huo Xuan's first act was to return the power to manage the Flame Clan to Yan Jin. In his words, now that the clan leader was out of seclusion, the Flame Clan no longer needed him, the Young Clan Leader, to manage it...
After that, Huo Xuan received a message that had been waiting for a long time: the Ancient Ruins from the original work had finally appeared!
Ancient Ruins, as the name suggests, are things passed down from ancient times, and those that have survived the passage of time and still bear traces of history...
Ancient times and the present are completely different eras. Over those countless years, many Ruins were naturally left behind. Some Ruins may be buried or disappeared over time, but some may be rediscovered by chance.
Every Ancient Ruins brings forth a storm of bloodshed; the allure of artifacts left behind from antiquity is enough to drive people mad...
According to the original novel, the Ancient Ruins appeared in the Beast Domain.
The Beast Domain is the domain of magical beast clans, the most concentrated area of magical beast clans on the Dou Qi Continent. Nearly 70% of the continent's magical beast clans reside there, including the three major clans of the Beast Realm: the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and the Void Ancient Dragon...
The azure sky was cloudless, appearing like a giant, crystal-clear blue mirror...
"The Ancient Ruins have finally appeared! I've been waiting so long!"
The Ancient Ruins were found in the Skeletal Mountain Range of the Beast Domain. The Skeletal Mountain Range were quite famous in the Beast Domain because they contained a terrifying Skeletal Sea. Countless animal bones were thrown here, and as time passed, these bones would gradually release some strange beast power contained within them. This energy had no effect on humans, but it was a good supplement for magical beasts. Therefore, the Skeletal Mountain Range became a favorite gathering place for many magical beasts.
The Beast Domain is now in turmoil because of the emergence of the Ancient Ruins. As Huo Xuan travels towards the Skeletal Mountain Range, he encounters many powerful figures. These figures include magical beasts that can transform into human form, as well as human powerhouses who have come from outside the Beast Domain upon hearing the news. Clearly, the news of the emergence of the Ancient Ruins has already spread far and wide.
After traveling for two days across the vast mountain range of the Beast Domain, a dazzling pale white suddenly appeared in the distance. This pale white stood out starkly against the lush green mountains, but when Huo Xuan saw it, his eyes lit up with excitement. After nearly ten days of travel, they had finally arrived at their destination.
Upon arriving here, the number of people flying across the surrounding sky increased, and every now and then a figure would fly by like a whirlwind and then rush towards the distant, pale white mountain range.
The Skeletal Mountain Range has now attracted many powerful forces and experts. After entering the Skeletal Mountain Range, Huo Xuan casually found a place to stay and looked towards the center of the mountain range...
That direction is where the Ancient Ruins were discovered.
Huo Xuan could sense that the space there was somewhat distorted, clearly indicating that the Ancient Ruins must have been protected by a very strong barrier set up by its owner.
According to the original novel, the owner of this Ancient Ruins was a Dou Sheng Expert).
The Ancient Ruins are hidden within Space Seal. The Space Seal has a restrictive effect. If Dou Zun expert were to forcibly enter, it would trigger an extremely strong counterattack from the seal. Even after countless years, ordinary Dou Zun would not dare to test the seal set up by a Dou Sheng Expert.
As time passes, the seal here has become quite thin. In just a few more days, the seal will gradually dissipate. At that time, without the seal's protection, even Dou Zun expert can enter safely. Currently, there are quite a few Dou Zun expert around this Ancient Ruins, waiting for that moment...
Five days later, as a ray of dawn pierced the darkness that enveloped the mountains, the once quiet mountains erupted with tremendous energy almost instantly. The sound of wind breaking filled the air, and figures, like locusts, rushed toward the center of the mountains.
At this moment, the Skeletal Mountain Range was undoubtedly bursting with astonishing vitality, and the source of this vitality was the countless figures leaping through the air. Under such terrifying human energy, even the unique cold aura of the Skeletal Mountain Range was forcibly diluted.
Gazing at the distorted space not far ahead, Huo Xuan moved swiftly, landing atop a towering tree. His gaze swept across the area, revealing a vast basin stretching for thousands of miles. However, this basin was now entirely filled with skeletal remains, a Bone Sea, a glaringly white sight that sent chills down one's spine...
Around the Skeletal Sea, countless figures stood, their burning gazes fixed on the distorted space at the center of the Skeletal Sea. As soon as the Space Seal dissipated, the sea of people would surge in like a tidal wave.
Now, all sorts of people have gathered here. Huo Xuan's gaze swept across the sea of people, and he spotted no fewer than five Dou Zun expert strength reaching the three-star level. He even found some "old acquaintances," such as those from Burning Flame Valley, Ice River Valley, and Starfall Pavilion...
It is rumored that there are Heavenly Tier Skill in this Ancient Ruins, and those guys must be after those things.
"Heavenly Tier Skill are indeed incredibly tempting, but even if you come alive, you might not be able to leave alive."
Suddenly, a subtle ripple appeared in this world, and countless eyes turned sharply to the Bone Sea, where the space began to undulate.
Amidst the violent distortion of space, a rushing sound like flowing water was emitted, and as this sound spread, the fluctuations in that area of space grew increasingly intense...
The Ancient Ruins are finally about to see the light of day again...
As they gazed at the energy seal that grew increasingly ethereal under the fluctuations, countless eyes turned crimson, and even their breathing became heavier, their hands gripping their weapons tightening their grip.
"Splash..."
Another strange whooshing sound rang out, and the distorted space suddenly froze. Then, with a crisp bang, the distorted space, like fragile glass, shattered into countless tiny spatial fragments.
"Charge! The Ancient Ruins have opened!"
The instant the Space Seal shattered, countless figures around them turned bloodshot, their throats emitting low, greedy roars. Their figures surged towards the Ancient Ruins like locusts.
Suddenly, the fragments of the Space Seal that had just burst open paused abruptly. Then, with a loud bang, a violent spatial force, which would make even a Dou Zun expert tremble with fear, swept outwards like a storm. Those who rushed forward the fastest were the first to be hit, and almost in the blink of an eye, they were swallowed up by the storm. Then, shrill screams echoed one after another above the Bone Sea.
The violent spatial ripples, like harvesting wheat, reaped the lives of those at the forefront. Some of the stronger individuals at the back finally realized something was wrong, and the crowd that had been charging forward suddenly turned and fled in disarray, creating an extremely chaotic scene.
"Luckily, I had the foresight..."
Because it was a long distance from the entrance to the Ancient Ruins, the spatial storm did not cause any harm to Huo Xuan. With a glance, Huo Xuan saw countless figures screaming miserably rolling on the ground, their crimson blood staining a large area of the Bone Sea.
After the spatial storm dissipated, Huo Xuan's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of rainbow light, and rushed towards the Bone Sea. At the same time, many other powerful figures who had also successfully avoided the spatial fluctuations earlier also immediately used their abilities, transforming into blurry figures and rushing into the Bone Sea.
The Bone Sea was extremely vast. After entering the skeleton, Huo Xuan discovered that a huge, majestic outline, like a mountain peak, was faintly visible within the Bone Sea of bones. From a distance, it looked like an ancient ferocious beast crouching in the Bone Sea, making people's hearts tremble.
As they drew closer, the white mist floating in the Bone Sea gradually thinned, and the enormous creature hidden within finally came into Huo Xuan's view.
It was a crimson palace, a Giant Hall nearly a thousand feet tall, almost like a small mountain. Looking up at this enormous structure standing between heaven and earth, a sense of insignificance arose spontaneously.
Outside the crimson Giant Hall, numerous powerful figures arrived in a steady stream, but none were the first to step into the hundred-meter radius. Those who could arrive at this time were either from powerful forces or possessed great abilities; naturally, no one would be foolish enough to willingly become the first to do so...
