More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, a large number of experts have gathered near the stone gate.

These experts, some standing in the open and others hidden in the shadows, kept their eyes fixed on the stone door that was about to open.

Most of them are Empire Citizen, since players can connect in real life.

The news of the discovery of a purple-level ruin spread so quickly that players hundreds of miles away immediately learned of it and rushed over.

Among the many Empire Citizen, there are also several streamers in the Virtual Network World.

A live streamer is a profession in the Virtual Network World. They attract Empire Citizen gifts.

The top-tier livestreamers in the Thirty-Six Galactic Human Empires can earn hundreds of millions of Canglan Coin in a single livestream, and they also have a powerful influence.

"Everyone, I finally made it before the ruins opened. This time it's a purple-level ruin, so don't worry, just watch me wreak havoc. The last Tianwu Ruins was a complete accident."

A short figure, barely a meter tall, appeared not far away and introduced himself to the viewers in his live stream.

This short figure, named Black Light, is a well-known streamer who can maintain an audience of over 100,000 for each live stream.

The audience of 100,000 were all Empire Citizen, some of whom were Planetary Lifeform forms, and some were even Starry Sky Lifeform.

The reason it can attract so many viewers is that Black Light is a Planetary Lifeform, a level 9 Planetary Lifeform at its limit.

In fact, with Black Light's resources, entering the Starry Sky Lifeform is not a problem at all, but once he does, the number of viewers in the live stream will inevitably plummet.

Level 9 limit, capable of wreaking havoc among Planetary Lifeform, providing excellent live streaming effects!

But what about Starry Sky Lifeform? It has absolutely no unique characteristics whatsoever.

Go Black Light!

"Let's kick this ruin to the ground in one fell swoop!"

"Excellent! We believe in your strength. Level 9 invincible, Rank 4 invincible!"

As he watched the barrage of comments flooding the live stream, a smile appeared on Black Light's face.

To make money, a streamer naturally needs to showcase highly content filled with conflict, and in the Shattering the Void World, this means battling against players and powerful native inhabitants.

Not long ago, in order to enhance the live stream, Black Light even attempted to enter the Tianwu Ruins, a gold-level ruin.

He was killed by a high-ranking expert from the nearby area with a single palm strike shortly after entering.

"Purple-level Ruins, fans, how many mid-level martial arts manuals do you think I'll get this time? There's a reward for those who guess correctly!"

A tall woman with pointed ears smiled and spoke to the viewers in the live stream.

Four books!

"I bet Sisi will die in the ruins, hahaha."

"Probably not. Although Sisi is unreliable, her strength is undeniable. With a twelve-fold Combat Bonus, aside from top-tier experts, who could kill her?"

"It's the third book, I've already seen several streamers here."

Many viewers were discussing it.

The host, Sisi, would occasionally speak up to liven up the atmosphere in the live stream.

Beside the stone gate.

Mad Blade Qin Mo's expression was solemn as he spoke in a low voice to Su Yuan:

"Wu, the opening of this Purple-level Ruins has attracted many powerful individuals. The most threatening one should be 'Black Light,' a powerful streamer, a Level 9 Planetary Lifeform, Combat Bonus reaches 13 times!"

It's important to understand that only by exerting strong mental control over their bodies can Starry Sky Lifeform overcome the threshold of Combat Bonus.

A Planetary Lifeform? Achieving a 13x Combat Bonus? That's extremely rare!

"And that Sisi is no slouch either, with a twelve-fold Combat Bonus."

Mad Blade Qin Mo quickly explained.

As a player who started playing the game at the beginning of the Shattering the Void era, he paid close attention to information about many of the top players in the game.

Besides Black Light and Sisi, there were several other peak fourth-rank experts, such as Yin Tiancheng and Luo Xue, who arrived at the beginning.

In addition, there were several powerful native inhabitants, all of whom had reached the peak of the fourth rank.

Rumble--

Just then...

The stone gate opened completely.

"Walk!"

Yin Tiancheng's figure moved like a phantom as he rushed towards the stone gate. The treasures and martial arts manuals inside the purple-level ruins were limited, and those who entered first often gained the upper hand.

Whoosh whoosh!

The other powerful individuals also knew this and began rushing towards the stone gate.

"Roll!"

The red-haired man, Luo Xue, Sha Qi his face. Seeing that many fifth and sixth-grade experts had also rushed in, he flipped his right hand, and dozens of hidden weapons flew out, knocking down dozens of experts.

Immediately, the red-haired man Luo Xue, rushed into the stone gate.

As the stone gate opened, a chaotic battle broke out among many powerful figures even before they could rush inside.

"Wu, let's go in too!"

Mad Blade Qin Mo also rushed in, with Su Yuan following behind.

Wow!

An extremely fierce hammer slammed down towards Mad Blade Qin Mo.

Block!

A sharp blade flashed, blocking the falling sledgehammer.

Mad Blade Qin Mo looked into the distance and saw a Bald Giant.

This Bald Giant was also a fourth-rank expert, and his weapon was a pair of two-handed hammers.

Seeing that Mad Blade Qin Mo easily blocked his sneak attack, the Bald Giant immediately realized that Mad Blade Qin Mo was no weaker than him, and his strength was also at the peak of the fourth rank.

With Su Yuan also standing to the side, he was most likely an expert of the same level as Mad Blade Qin Mo. Fighting two against one? Only a fool would do that. Therefore, he immediately began to retreat.

The Bald Giant's sudden retreat was witnessed by many experts around him, who, having assessed Mad Blade Qin Mo's strength, all intentionally gave way.

It's not that we're afraid, but rather that we haven't even entered the ruins yet, and we've already seen all the benefits, so there's no possibility of a real battle or life-or-death struggle.

At most, it would be a slight probing.

The same was true for that Bald Giant.

Soon.

Mad Blade Qin Mo and Su Yuan rushed into the stone gate.

This is a huge underground plaza, with houses built around it.

Those houses were exquisitely built, clearly hiding treasures.

Buzz~~

Yin Tiancheng, the first to rush in, quickly entered the nearest house.

Then other powerful individuals entered.

Before long, the sounds of fighting could be heard coming from inside the house.

Yin Tiancheng rushed out from within.

"It's gold, at least a hundred taels of gold."

The powerful individuals who entered later also came out and, without hesitation, loudly recounted Yin Tiancheng's gains inside.

Gold?

One hundred taels of gold?

These words greatly excited many Empire Citizen.

One hundred taels of gold is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver, or one million Canglan Coin.

Dying in the game and re-entering the game only costs 100,000 Canglan Coin. Even with the cost of purchasing weapons and other miscellaneous expenses, the total amount will not exceed 200,000 Canglan Coin.

For a time, many fourth-rank experts set their sights on Yin Tiancheng.

If I can get a hundred taels of gold this time, it would be worth dying in this ruin.

Damn it.

Yin Tiancheng's expression was gloomy. With his strength, dealing with three or four fourth-rank experts was not a problem.

But more?

That would pose a risk of destruction.

Especially now that the situation on the field is so chaotic, if I am surrounded, there will definitely be peak fourth-rank experts who will take advantage of my misfortune.

As for putting the gold in a backpack and then depositing it in a money exchange?

In the world of <Shattering the Void>, players can store items in their inventory, but only in an absolutely safe environment.

With chaos all around and murderous intent raging, there was no way to put the gold into the backpack.

The same applies to martial arts manuals; players must be absolutely safe and not be targeted by any murderous intent in order to view them.

In addition, as long as you are near the ruins, regardless of whether there is a safe environment, you cannot put treasures in your backpack or look at martial arts manuals.

"Around the square, every house contains a treasure, whether it be gold, jewels, or martial arts manuals," Yin Tiancheng immediately announced loudly.

The purpose of this statement was to draw the attention of many experts to the houses surrounding the square.

After all, the house won't move; whoever goes in first will get the treasures inside, and he himself is a peak fourth-grade expert.

Whoosh!

Immediately, powerful individuals rushed towards the nearby houses.

"Wu, let's split up for now!" Mad Blade Qin Mo made the decision immediately.

There's only one type of treasure in each house; it would be too wasteful for two people to go in.

It would be better to separate and occupy both houses at the same time.

"Good!"

Su Yuan nodded, and whispered, "Go and take a look at that house."

"That house?"

Mad Blade Qin Mo followed Su Yuan's gaze.

"OK."

Mad Blade Qin Mo nodded and immediately rushed over.

Su Yuan rushed towards the houses deep inside the square.

As for the temple he pointed out to Mad Blade Qin Mo, it contained a mid-level martial arts manual, which was useless to Su Yuan but quite useful to Qin Mo.

Whoosh--

Suddenly, a figure rushed out of a house. This figure was a fifth-rank expert. After obtaining what he had gained from the house, he headed straight for the exit without hesitation.

For a fifth-rank expert, being able to occupy a house and obtain the treasures inside is already considered extremely lucky. If they don't leave now, they might not even be able to keep what they've gained inside.

Click.

However, before this fifth-rank expert could get far, a hidden weapon pierced his forehead.

The red-haired man Luo Xue, walked up to the other man and took out a wooden box from his arms. Inside was a luminous pearl the size of a fist.

"Good."

The red-haired man Luo Xue, nodded slightly.

Such a large luminous pearl is priceless and could easily be exchanged for hundreds of taels of gold.

As a peak fourth-rank expert, the red-haired man was not good at speed, so he ambushed near the entrance to intercept fifth and sixth-rank experts who wanted to leave after obtaining their loot from the house.

In fact, there were quite a few fourth-rank experts who shared the same thoughts as the red-haired man Luo Xue.

Instead of struggling to fight against other powerful individuals, wouldn't it be better to target those lucky fifth or sixth-rank experts who managed to find a house by sheer chance?

Those fifth and sixth-rank experts, after gaining something from the house, would inevitably choose to settle down and leave the ruins as soon as possible.

To leave the ruins, one must use the only exit.

The houses are scattered around the square and require careful searching to find.

"Such a large piece of purple jade"

Su Yuan emerged from an extremely secluded house.

From this house, Su Yuan acquired a palm-sized piece of purple jade.

Purple was the national color of the Great Yong Dynasty, while jade was a symbol of status and position.

Therefore, purple jade was extremely precious in the Great Yong Dynasty, especially the piece of purple jade in Su Yuan's possession, which was of exceptionally high quality and could easily fetch hundreds of taels of gold.

This piece of purple jade is one of the most valuable treasures in this purple-level ruins, besides the superior martial arts manual.

"There's also a mid-level martial arts manual that might be of some use to me."

Su Yuan's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately headed in a certain direction.

At Su Yuan's level, intermediate-level martial arts manuals are basically no longer effective.

However, there are still a very few special mid-level martial arts manuals that can still have some effect on Su Yuan.

Within this ruin lies a mid-level martial arts manual.

Wow!

A moment later.

Su Yuan arrived in front of a house.

This house is slightly different from the others; it is much larger in size.

At that moment, the front door of the house had already been opened, and low, muffled sounds of fighting could be heard from inside.

"Black Light, stop right there!"

An angry voice rang out, and a short, Black Light figure, holding a purple box, rushed out.

"Hahaha, I'm not going to stop, so what are you going to do about it?"

Black Light looked pleased, but his speed was terrifying. At the same time, he was explaining to the viewers in the live stream:

"Gentlemen, if you encounter this kind of mad dog, this is how you deal with it."

Splash!

The house partially collapsed, and a bald, burly Bald Giant wielding two hammers rushed out, swinging the hammers down towards the Black Light.

Unfortunately, Black Light's speed and agility were clearly superior to the Bald Giant's, and the latter's giant hammer couldn't even touch him.

Just then--

"Amitabha!" An Ascetic Monk appeared silently, raised his right hand, and pressed it down towards the Black Light.

"A powerful native?" Black Light's expression changed slightly, and he tried to dodge.

However, the Ascetic Monk was too fast, and Black Light had no choice but to forcibly take the blow.

Bang! This palm strike forcibly knocked the purple box out of Black Light's hand.

The purple box flew upwards.

"Be mine!"

The Bald Giant was overjoyed upon seeing this.

"Amitabha!" The Ascetic Monk also approached the purple box. As a powerful native, he also had a high demand for martial arts manuals.

"This is too much."

Black Light felt a chill in his heart; with his strength, he was perfectly capable of shaking off the Bald Giant.

However, for the sake of the live stream's effect, he deliberately lingered for a while, which led to the arrival of the Ascetic Monk.

The Ascetic Monk's strength was no less than his, and the other's intervention made Black Light think that the situation was getting out of control.

"Now!"

Su Yuan, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly stepped out, holding Silver Spear, and swung it at the three people in front of him.

The Extreme Yang Power converged, and a terrifying shot tore through the air, causing a profound sense of crisis in Black Light and the others.

Hide!

You must dodge this shot.

Otherwise, they would be severely injured, if not killed.

Splash!

Compared to the purple box, my own life is more important.

Black Light and the Ascetic Monk immediately logged out.

The purple box fell, and Su Yuan caught it.

Then she put it into her bosom.

Su Yuan, holding Silver Spear with the butt touching the ground, looked at the crowd and said, "You are all very strong, but if you want to take this purple box from me, can you guarantee you won't be injured at all?"
