590: Ancient ruins!
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and a day went by.
At this moment, the crowd around these Ancient Ruins was becoming increasingly larger.
The Seal at the entrance of the Ancient Ruins was also gradually developing cracks.
If nothing unexpected happened, this Seal could shatter at any moment, and that would be the time to enter the ruins.
As people from various factions arrived, the area around this ancient city gradually became crowded.
"Rumble…!"
Just then, a heaven-shaking roar came from the entrance of the Ancient Ruins, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Quick, look, the entrance to the Ancient Ruins has opened."
At this moment, everyone at the scene became restless.
An aura of primordial desolation drifted out from the entrance of the Ancient Ruins.
This primordial aura contained a hint of antiquity, vicissitudes, and the oppressive feeling of death.
For a moment, no one dared to approach the entrance; even the experts from the five great super factions couldn't help but retreat several hundred zhang.
An old man from the Haotian Realm probed the entrance for a while, his expression becoming very serious.
"These Ancient Ruins are a blessed land of Legacy left behind by a great power of the Heavenly Dao Realm from the ancient times. Layers of Restrictions have been set up inside; only Cultivators below the Haotian Realm can enter. If anyone from the Haotian Realm forces their way in, they will be directly obliterated," the Haotian Realm Cultivator said in a deep voice.
"Doesn't that mean we've come here for nothing?" Yang Tianxu's face became very gloomy.
"These Ancient Ruins are fraught with danger, and no one knows what good things are inside. Although we cannot enter, we can let them go in. If there are good things inside, when they come out, heh… heh… heh…!" A cold, sinister smile curled at the corners of Huang Shahai's mouth.
"Brother Huang, that's a good idea." Yang Tianxu chuckled sinisterly.
Subsequently, the people from the several super factions gathered together and began to plot.
When the several super factions finished their plotting, that Haotian Realm old man walked out, looked around, and said loudly:
"These Ancient Ruins have already opened. Except for the people from the five great super factions, anyone else who wishes to enter must pay one million mid-grade divine origin stones. Those who want to go in and explore can line up now."
"However, there is one thing I must remind you of: only Cultivators below the Haotian Realm can enter these Ancient Ruins. If any Haotian Realm Cultivator enters, they will be obliterated by the Heavenly Dao Law within the ruins."
As soon as the Haotian Realm old man finished speaking, the scene instantly descended into chaos, and many people began to squeeze toward the entrance of the ruins.
Although one million mid-grade divine origin stones was a lot, basically every Cultivator present could afford it. If they could obtain any benefits within the Ancient Ruins, what was a mere one million divine origin stones?
Yang Lingchen quietly followed within the crowd and completely concealed his true aura.
After paying one million divine origin stones, Yang Lingchen finally entered these Ancient Ruins.
These Ancient Ruins were located within a small space, and this small space had been carved out by a great power of the Heavenly Dao Realm; the area inside was extremely vast.
After entering this space, everyone was plunged into confusion, because what met their eyes was a barren land, and they couldn't see the end of it at a single glance.
For a moment, everyone stood there stunned, each wondering in their hearts whether they should continue exploring or not.
Yang Lingchen looked back at the exit once, then resolutely flew off into the distance. Since he had already come in, it was absolutely impossible for him to return empty-handed.
Seeing Yang Lingchen take the lead into the barren land, some bold people also flew off in various directions, in case there were any good things inside that they could be the first to obtain.
After flying for a full two hours, Yang Lingchen finally flew out of this barren land.
At this moment, a massive complex of palaces came into his view.
These massive palaces radiated an aura of antiquity and vicissitudes; looking at them from afar gave one an invisible sense of oppression.
Judging solely by this pressure, the strength of those who once lived here had definitely reached a realm that made him look up in awe.
Yang Lingchen observed carefully for a moment and ultimately decided to go over and take a look. He flew cautiously toward the palace complex while releasing his Divine Sense to prevent anything unclean from ambushing him.
Just then, many more people arrived here.
Seeing Yang Lingchen flying toward the palace complex, they all hurriedly chased after him, as if afraid that any good things would be snatched away by Yang Lingchen.
This palace complex occupied an extremely vast area, even larger than some cities in the outside world.
Although these people who came later flew very fast, Yang Lingchen still flew toward the palace complex unhurriedly. At the same time, he became even more vigilant, because his intuition told him that this palace complex was not as simple as he imagined and that there might be some unknown dangers.
"Roar… roar… roar…!"
Along with a heaven-shaking roar, a group of massive stone Puppets instantly rushed out from the city. From the bodies of these stone Puppets, each radiated an aura of slaughter.
Clearly, the Killing Intent on these stone Puppets had been honed through countless battles.
And those who were charging at the very front had not even reacted before they were killed on the spot by these suddenly rushing stone Puppets.
"Damn it."
A flash of relief appeared in Yang Lingchen's eyes.
The cultivation level of these stone Puppets was around the fifth layer of the Spirit God Realm. Although he was not afraid of these stone Puppets one-on-one, if he were surrounded by this group of stone Puppets, even he would have a hard time.
"Everyone, let's attack together! There must be good things inside this palace complex. As long as we deal with these stone Puppets, the things inside will be ours."
A middle-aged man at the ninth layer of the Spirit God Realm stood out, a hint of greed showing in his eyes.
As soon as this middle-aged man finished speaking, many powerful Cultivators expressed their agreement, and one by one, they quickly rushed toward the stone Puppets.
These people's cultivation levels had all reached the Late Stage of the Spirit God Realm; it was not impossible for them to have a chance of winning against these stone Puppets.
Of course, the prerequisite was that these people had to work together.
Seeing this, Yang Lingchen also rushed up, but he did not use his full strength. After all, his cultivation level was only at the second layer of the Spirit God Realm; if he performed too Heaven-Defyingly, it might very well attract the attention of people with ulterior motives.
After an hour of fighting, thanks to the concerted efforts of the human Cultivators, the stone Puppets were finally completely defeated.
At this moment, more than ten thousand people had gathered outside this palace complex.
Yang Lingchen also discovered Lei Zhentian and Su Jinrou not far away. To avoid being discovered by them, he quietly lurked within the crowd and then walked all the way into the palace complex.
After entering the palace complex, some stone Puppets would rush out from time to time, but they were all easily dealt with by everyone.
Clearly, after being eroded by countless years, the Combat Power of these stone Puppets was less than one-tenth of what it used to be; otherwise, with the strength of these people, it would have been impossible to break in.
Yang Lingchen kept shuttling through the various palaces, but he never found anything of value.
At this moment, he arrived at the main palace in the very center of the palace complex.
At this time, a considerable crowd had already gathered around this main palace, and these people had surrounded the main palace tightly.
Yang Lingchen could tell at a glance that the main palace was enveloped by a powerful defensive formation. Judging from the strength of this Formation, without cultivation in the Haotian Realm, it was impossible to get inside.
Yang Lingchen carefully observed the area around this main hall and studied this defensive formation.
As more and more people gathered around the main hall, Lei Zhentian and Su Jinrou soon appeared at the scene as well.
Seeing this, Yang Lingchen's expression became extremely ugly.
After some research, he had already found some weaknesses in this defensive formation.
Now that Lei Zhentian had arrived, if he broke the defensive formation, it might very well attract the other party's attention, and at that point, his only option would be to flee for his life.
And at this moment, if Yang Lingchen were to leave, he would feel somewhat unwilling, because his intuition told him that there must be an extraordinary secret inside this main hall.
