Entering the Ancient Ruins
Given Xiao Yi Xian's condition, she still needs some time to absorb and digest the inheritance.
After staying for another day, Xiao Yan left the place and headed to the Ancient Ruins that were about to be opened.
The Skeleton Mountain Range, filled with white bones, was now filled with countless figures, their burning gazes fixed on the distorted space at the center of the skeletons.
After Xiao Yan appeared, even without the Skyfire Saint saying so, he knew that the ruins would open within three to five minutes!
"The allure of Heaven Tier Dou Technique remains boundless even now," the Skyfire Saint said with a smile, glancing at the people who had come here.
As early as the Dou Zun era, he created the Dou Technique <Five-Wheel Flame Separation Method>, which was comparable to the Heaven Tier.
Now that he has the strength of Dou Sheng, the improvement in his strength has also given him new insights into the Five-Wheel Flame Separation Method, allowing him to perfect that Dou Technique into Heaven Tier Dou Technique.
Moreover, if two of the five flames are Heavenly Flames, then it is Heaven Tier Intermediate Dou Technique; if all five of the five flames are different Heavenly Flames, then it is High Heaven Tier Dou Technique.
Just as the Skyfire Saint was speaking and thinking, a subtle ripple suddenly appeared in this world.
Countless eyes suddenly turned to the pile of bones.
"The Ancient Ruins have finally seen the light of day again." Xiao Yan noticed the group of the Ye Clan members who had arrived and murmured to himself.
As they spoke, the space distorted violently, producing a sound like a surging tide.
Amidst the crashing sound, the entire space began to tremble more and more violently.
Gazing at the increasingly ethereal energy seal amidst the fluctuations, the waiting person's eyes subtly turned blood red, and even their breathing became heavy.
This also includes members of the Ye Clan, one of the five major families associated with the Pill Tower.
However, as time went by, the Ye Clan gradually declined and has fallen to the bottom of the five major families, and has even lost its position as Pill Tower Elder.
If things continue like this, they probably won't even be able to stay at the bottom of the five major families, and will be replaced by other forces sooner or later.
The purpose of this trip to the Ancient Ruins is to obtain the inheritance of some powerful figures, so that the Ye Clan can produce a powerful Alchemist again and successfully reclaim the position of elder.
In the blink of an eye, all sound vanished, the distorted space suddenly froze, and in the silence, with a loud bang, that distorted space shattered into countless tiny fragments, just like fragile glass.
"Charge! The Ancient Ruins have been opened!"
The instant the Space Seal shattered, countless figures around the Bone Sea turned bloodshot, their throats emitting low, greedy roars. Their figures surged toward the center of the Bone Sea like locusts in flight.
Watching the crowd surge away, the Skyfire Saint shook his head slightly.
The next moment, the Space Seal fragments that had just burst open suddenly paused, and then a loud bang was heard. A violent spatial force, which would make even Dou Zun expert tremble with fear, swept outwards like a storm.
Those who rushed forward the fastest were the first to be swallowed by the storm, almost in the blink of an eye. Then, shrill screams echoed across the Bone Sea!
The violent spatial ripples, like harvesting wheat, completely destroyed the crowd at the forefront.
Finally, some of the stronger individuals at the back realized something was wrong. As a result, the crowd that had been charging forward turned around and fled in disarray, creating an unusually chaotic scene outside the Bone Sea.
Because the Ye Clan members were Alchemist, their soul power was much stronger than that of others of the same level. They sensed the danger in the space earlier and were unharmed.
Seeing the countless figures writhing on the ground, screaming in agony, their blood staining the white bones below, the Great Elder of the Ye Clan gasped in shock.
"What a terrifying Space Seal! Even after countless years, it still possesses such a terrifying impact. No wonder it's Ancient Ruins!"
"Go." Seeing the spatial fluctuations stabilize, Xiao Yan transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the interior of the skeleton.
At the same time, the Skyfire Saint followed closely behind, avoiding the spatial fluctuations, and entered the skeleton, approaching a large hall in the distance.
It was a colossal palace, nearly a thousand feet in size, almost like a mountain peak!
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan and his companion arrived before the massive hall.
With a tremor and a rumbling sound, the heavy, crimson stone door slowly rose, revealing a pitch-black passage.
Although Xiao Yan and his companion moved very quickly, they were not in a hurry.
Despite having learned their lesson, the immense temptation soon blinded many to the allure of profit.
Amidst the commotion of the crowd, figures rushed swiftly into the passage at unprecedented speeds, as if afraid someone would get there first to claim the treasures within.
Before long, the pitch-black passage suddenly turned fiery red, and a stream of crimson magma gushed out.
Immediately following, streaks of unique blue fire shot out from the walls of the spacious passage.
To everyone's astonishment, the temperature of this blue pillar of fire was incredibly high. Those who entered it, including the Dou Zong, were completely unable to resist it. They didn't even have time to scream before they were reduced to ashes.
The sudden turn of events caught even some of the Dou Zun expert had come here off guard.
Seeing the disappearing figures inside the passage, some people who were about to enter broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stopped in their tracks.
Unfortunately, those behind didn't see the horrific scene in the passage, yet they still rushed forward recklessly, pushing those who had stopped into the passage...
After observing for a while, Xiao Yan and the Skyfire Saint finally entered the ruins.
Instead of walking through the passage, the two went directly into the lava.
A short while later, the two appeared in a square.
Above their heads, crimson lava hung in twists and turns like giant, complete pythons, with figures occasionally flashing across the fiery path.
Clearly, this magma is the fire path where Xiao Yan and his companion are located. If they were to follow that winding fire path, who knows how long it would take!
"This ruin is truly something special. If we can't discover this secret, even Dou Zun might perish within that fire path!" The Skyfire Saint clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Although I'm not afraid to compete with others, finding the item first means there's no need to compete at all." Xiao Yan scanned the plaza and determined a direction.
