Let's go.
In the void, Xiao Yan calmly withdrew his gaze, uttered a single sentence in a flat tone, and then looked down at the entrance to the ruins.
Although with the strength Xiao Yan currently possesses, he could easily kill Zhuo Lin here, or even kill everyone from the Zhuo Clan on this trip, Xiao Yan did not do so.
As someone of the same generation, Xiao Yan's pride wouldn't allow him to kill an opponent stronger than himself while relying on the power of others.
In Xiao Yan's view, the best way to defeat an opponent is to rely on one's own strength. Only by truly surpassing the opponent can one be considered to have defeated them. Otherwise, no matter how many methods one uses, the result will only be killing the opponent, not defeating them.
Of course, doing so would eliminate potential threats, but at the same time, Xiao Yan would not grow in any way.
To become strong, you must first learn to respect your opponent. Only by respecting your opponent can you see yourself clearly. The path of cultivation is not easy, and everyone needs a mirror. A sufficiently strong opponent will undoubtedly become the most transparent and bright mirror.
Under the suppression of the Heavenly Flames, the scarlet blood mist inside the cave was completely refined into nothingness by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and Xiao Yan and the three people behind him, including Tian Ying, quickly arrived at the entrance of the ruins.
Behind these four, countless powerful figures rushed over after seeing the blood mist suppressed. Now that the strange blood pillar was gone and the blood mist was suppressed by the Heavenly Flames, wasn't this the best time to enter the ruins? Of course, although everyone thought this, they dared not get too close to Xiao Yan and his companions. After all, they had witnessed Xiao Yan's power firsthand. If they displeased Xiao Yan, he might slap them in the face. With their strength alone, they didn't think they would have a chance to survive a single blow from Xiao Yan.
And among these people, the black-robed figure who had been hiding in the crowd was now quietly standing there...
As Xiao Yan approached the entrance to the ruins, the powerful aura within him gradually faded away, and a pallor crept onto his face beneath his Xiao Yan robe.
Using the power of the Gu You in this way is a considerable burden for Xiao Yan. When that power is released, Xiao Yan is like a deflated balloon. Although he still looks tough on the outside, he is actually weak inside.
" Xiao Yan, are you alright?"
From the moment the powerful aura emanating from Xiao Yan Xiao Yan felt, the three of Tian Ying sensed something strange about him. It was as if Xiao Yan had suddenly become a different person; not only had his strength become extremely terrifying, but the feeling he gave off had also become incredibly frightening.
This feeling was similar to the strength Xiao Yan displayed outside East Wall deep in the Xilin Mountain Range. While being shocked by his strength, one couldn't help but feel a strange chill in one's heart.
"I'm fine, just a little weak..."
Xiao Yan, hidden by his black robe, shook his head slightly. His familiar voice rang out again, and in an instant, the sense of unfamiliarity that had lingered in the hearts of the three, including Tian Ying, vanished, replaced by the same sense of warmth as before.
The three members of the Tian Ying frowned inwardly at the strange change in Xiao Yan. Fortunately, this wasn't the first time they had seen Xiao Yan in this state. They nodded, but their eyes involuntarily swept over Xiao Yan. Unfortunately, despite their attempts to investigate, their aura detection was completely ineffective due to the black robe's obstruction.
Helplessly withdrawing their gaze, the three of them finally regained their composure. At the same time, Xiao Yan, whose back was to them, also turned his gaze to the entrance of the ruins that was so close below.
Only when they approached the deep, dark cave did they realize that although the cave appeared deep and dark, there were invisible spatial ripples on the surface of the cave, and this was the true entrance to the ruins.
"Call..."
Exhaling softly, Xiao Yan's dark eyes, hidden beneath his black robe, once again turned to the three people beside him, including Tian Ying.
The three of them noticed Xiao Yan's gaze coming their way and simultaneously raised their eyes, their gazes meeting Xiao Yan's in mid-air.
"My three brothers, we're about to enter the ruins. Once inside, please stay close to me. We know nothing about the interior yet. Judging from the Blood Lake Grand Formation outside, there are likely many more formations within. If we're not careful, we could all face annihilation!"
These words were not meant to be alarmist by Xiao Yan. After all, if the array at the entrance of this ruin was already so powerful, it was not hard to imagine how powerful the array inside must be.
If Xiao Yan were to rely solely on his own strength to suppress the Blood Lake Grand Formation, he might be able to do so with the help of his Heavenly Flames. However, he was not so sure about the formation within the ruins. Furthermore, Gu You had already said that his attack just now was the last time he would help Xiao Yan. From now on, Xiao Yan would have to rely on himself. Therefore, he had to be careful in everything he did.
Upon hearing this, the three people behind him, Tian Ying, nodded solemnly. They naturally understood the meaning behind Xiao Yan's words and dared not be careless.
Seeing the three nod, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, then took a deep breath, and with a movement, slowly descended, entering the ruins under the watchful eyes of everyone in the world.
Following closely behind, the three of them, including Tian Ying, rushed forward. Then, the moment Xiao Yan's figure completely disappeared into the entrance of the ruins, everyone in the world seemed to have gone mad and rushed downwards. Some people who were nearby also rushed in the moment Xiao Yan and the others entered the ruins.
Following closely behind, countless Half-Emperor- emperors and even Dou Di emperors rushed forward like a school of fish seeing water, eagerly heading towards the entrance of the ruins below.
In the blink of an eye, chaos erupted among the people in the world. At that moment, the eerie white Heavenly Flames that had been blocking the blood mist suddenly vanished with a "poof." Immediately afterward, a large cloud of scarlet blood mist surged out from beneath the cave. At the same time, hundreds of Half-Emperor experts who were falling from the sky uncontrollably rushed into the blood mist.
