Breaking into the Five-Star Heaven Realm!

Depths of Ancient Ruins.

A place the researchers called the "Ancient Sword Tomb."

This should have been an incomparably brutal ancient battlefield from tens of millions of years ago.

Explorers and researchers had unearthed countless fragmented, bizarrely shaped corpses here.

They looked like hybrids of humans and monsters.

Some had human torsos growing from crustacean-like lower bodies.

Some appeared to have masses of sea-anemone-like tentacles bursting from human body cavities.

Others were gigantic insects with human faces.

Or the crystal-clear human bodies, seemingly carved from crystal, that Wu Haibo had once told Meng Chao about.

Naturally, there were also many beings resembling the myriad races of the Otherworld—elves, dwarves, Half-Orcs, ogres, vampires, and metallic dragons.

However, apart from the Crystal Corpses, the vast majority of the remains had become incomparably fragile after tens of millions of years of erosion.

The instant the Ancient Ruins opened, they would crumble into dust and scatter with the wind.

Even if they retained vivid colors and lifelike appearances when explorers discovered them, all color would fade within minutes, leaving them utterly dull. Like sand sculptures at high tide, they would soon collapse into black-and-white dust strewn across the ground.

Even great quantities of ancient war machines had become rusted, brittle, and ready to shatter at a touch.

Only the most durable cold weapons, forged from crystal stones and superalloys, could barely withstand the erosion of time.

They were thrust haphazardly across the ancient battlefield, like slender tombstones.

At first glance, apart from the profound and intricate runes engraved upon their surfaces, these cold weapons did not differ much from Earthlings' swords and sabers.

Yet under high-powered microscopes, countless layers resembling microcrystalline sheets could be seen in the cross-sections of broken ancient cold weapons.

If Earthlings' most advanced single-molecule cutting technology were used to peel
