Chapter 252 - Dangerous Ruins, Earth-Devouring Centipede

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In their eyes, there was an altar at the bottom of the stairs. On top of the altar, there was a huge crack that was emitting a dark blue light.

This crack was like the space crack, and in the middle of it, there was a deep galaxy-like space.

The terrifying wind gushed out from this dark blue crack, and the rock walls around the altar had long been weathered.

At this point, the elders removed the protective barrier formed by their true essence, and instead looked at the blue crack and shouted.

“Let’s go, everyone. See you at the usual place!”

As he said this, Tang Shang, who was from the Tang clan, took the lead. His true essence wrapped around his body, and then he rushed into the blue crack.

Tang Shang’s body froze there, and then turned into a faint shadow and disappeared.

This caused the juniors to be surprised, as if they had seen something extraordinary.

However, to the elders, they were already used to it.

With Tang Shang taking the lead, the elders of the aristocratic families entered one after another.

Xu Que, the two elders of the Sword Pavilion, the Wang family, the Sun family, the Lu family, the Zhao family…

It was not until the end that Old Man Nie took a glance at Su Yi before rushing into the dark blue crack with Old Man Lin Yan.

After thirty years, these elders had once again entered this ancient ruin.

After that, the remaining Su Yi and the rest also started to enter slowly in groups.

Seeing that the elders were not around, Lu Aotian stared at Su Yi.

He did not pay attention to Lu Aotian. After such a long time, there was already a gap between them.

If he wanted to deal with Lu Aotian now, even though he was also at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm, he only needed one move.

This was not even using the Tianganggang Realm Slash Finger, or a trump card like the Tiangang Heaven-slashing Finger.

Perhaps just one Tiangang Meteorite Finger would be enough.

“Let’s go too.”

He looked at Nie Ling, then at Li Mengxi, Li Zhengxuan, and Wang Baocai.

Everyone nodded lightly and came before the dark blue crack. They saw that the strong winds were constantly sweeping them, and the robes on their bodies were fluttering. Their long hair was fluttering in the wind.

In the end, he slowly turned his head and looked at Zhao Xuening. He did not say anything, and then he lifted his toes slightly and stepped into the dark blue crack.

As soon as he touched the blue crack, he felt as if he had been pulled into it, as if he had fallen into an endless hole.

In Nie Ling’s eyes, Su Yi stepped into the crack, and his body instantly froze and then faded away, just like the seniors from before.

Then, they did not hesitate anymore and entered the crack at the entrance of the ancient ruins one after another.

Soon, the altar was empty, and there was no one else.

…

[Hint: You have entered the ancient ruins, the battlefield of the demon region]

As his figure slowly appeared, his vision suddenly brightened.

What he saw was a desolate land. There were broken walls everywhere, as if this place experienced some great battle.

However, no one knew how many years had passed. Even if there was a bitter battle, it was still covered by the yellow soil.

As he smelled the stench of the soil in the air, he looked at his surroundings and slowly asked.

“This is the ancient ruins?”

In his eyes, there were desolate hills everywhere. At a glance, there was no sense of life. Instead, he could feel a faint killing intent in this space.

However, he did not forget what the first thing he did after entering the ancient ruins was.

He took out the sensing jade pendant from the immortal destiny seal and the note that Wang Baocai had given him.

The sensing jade pendant emitted a dim light.

Seeing this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Nie Ling was within 10,000 meters of him. With this sensing jade, he could quickly find Nie Ling’s location.

Then, he opened the piece of paper that Wang Baocai had given him. On the paper, there were three mountain-like objects and a sentence.

“Fellow Daoist Su Yi, gather here.”

However, there were no mountains other than the barren lands and hills on the battlefield of the demon region.

As far as he could see, he could not see anything that looked like a mountain.

“Forget it, let’s find Nie Ling first.”

At this moment, he did not know what kind of danger was surrounding the ancient ruins. It was better to find Nie Ling first.

One had to know that it was definitely not a good place for Old Master Nie to talk to them in such a serious tone.

Thinking of this, he held the sensing jade pendant in his hand and carefully sensed the strongest direction.

Suddenly, his eyes focused, then he looked in a direction and murmured.

“That direction!”

With that, he moved the true essence under his feet, and his body turned into an afterimage as he rushed toward a direction.

However, he did not walk far before he suddenly stopped. He could feel that his feet were shaking.

It was the soil shaking!

As if he had thought of something, he suddenly stomped on the ground and dodged to the side.

Bang!!

At the same time, a loud noise was heard. The ground of the wasteland was instantly broken, bringing waves of soil into the sky. A fishy smell started to spread in this space.

Su Yi, who had dodged, had a grave expression as he looked at the thing that had suddenly broken out of the ground.

If he had seen it correctly, it was a demon beast.

The dust that soared into the sky slowly scattered onto the ground, and a demon beast that looked like a long worm suddenly appeared on the ground.

This demon beast’s body was like a long worm. Its body was a hundred feet long, and it was wrapped in phosphorus armor. There was a shiny gem-like thing on its head, and there were two huge sharp teeth in its huge mouth, a pair of scarlet eyes stared at Su Yi.

Hiss–

This demon beast roared at Su Yi’s terrifying mouth, and its hundred feet, which were like steel bars, kept moving, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Su Yi, on the other hand, looked at this demon beast that suddenly attacked him with a serious expression.

What he cared about was not its appearance, but its terrifying aura and realm.

In his eyes, the information of the demon beast was displayed on the interface.

[Demon beast: Earth-devouring Centipede]

[Bloodline: Ancient demon bloodline]

[Realm: Late-stage foundation establishment]

Different from the late-stage foundation establishment demon beasts outside the ancient ruins, the demon beasts in the ancient ruins gave him an extremely powerful aura. He was afraid that they had already reached the eighth or even ninth level of foundation establishment.

However, at the same time, he was also worried about Nie Ling. If Nie Ling was within 10,000 meters of him, then she would definitely be in this desolate land. If he encountered this kind of Earth-devouring Centipede, then he was afraid…

Thinking of this, he did not have any time to hesitate. Right now, it was definitely better to end the battle as quickly as possible.

He condensed his sword fingers, and the true essence on his body surged. His gaze was fierce as he looked at the enormous demon beast, and then he attacked first.
