Chapter 279 - Encountering a Group of Demon Beasts along the Way, a Phenomenon in the Depths of Heaven and Earth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Su Yi and Old Man Lin Yan followed the map deeper and deeper into the ancient ruins, they were secretly shocked by everything they saw.

Just based on the fact that all of the demon beasts they encountered were at the late stage of the foundation establishment stage or even at the perfection stage, it was quite shocking. It was fine if the strength of these demon beasts were strong, but some of them even lived in groups!

It could be seen that even if Zhao Xuening and her group were here, they would probably be killed on the spot if they were not careful.

However, it was not that dangerous for Su Yi and Lin Yan. They were powerful. They were able to kill the demon beasts with a single strike before the beasts could even call out. Their movement speed was also very fast. They would often leave the territory of the demon beasts before they could react.

Hence, the two of them had not encountered any unsolvable problems since they entered this place.

However, today’s situation was different. Su Yi and Old Master Lin Yan were hiding under a collapsed boulder. They hid and did not dare to reveal any of their auras.

This was because there were continuous rumbling sounds around them. These rumbling sounds were mixed with the roars of all kinds of demon beasts. Their bodies were emitting an endless aura as they ran past the huge rock where Su Yi and Lin Yan were hiding.

There were even some demon beasts that crashed against the huge rock like crazy, causing him and Lin Yan to feel very uncomfortable. They were afraid that they would be discovered by these beasts.

Just from where they were hiding, they could feel that there were close to a hundred perfect foundation establishment demon beasts. There were even countless late foundation establishment demon beasts.

If such a horde were to be set loose in the great desolate region, it could be said to be a disaster. It was a disaster that was even more terrifying than the beast tide.

However, why did these demon beasts riot? These beasts gathered, forming a beast tide, and headed towards someplace, seemingly with a purpose? After a long while, he and senior Lin Yan did not sense any demon beasts passing by before they slowly walked out from under the huge rock.

Su Yi jumped onto the huge rock. There was no sign of any demon beasts in the surroundings. They immediately heaved a sigh of relief. After which, he shouted, “senior Lin Yan, you can come out now.”

Just as his voice sounded, Lin Yan’s figure landed beside him. The two of them stared fixedly at the scene of the rampaging demon beasts. This was not just a mess. A large number of demon beasts trampled all over, and their sizes were all different.

Not only were the ruins in a complete mess, but even the trees were also more or less destroyed. It was as bleak as a locust crossing the border.

“Strange, why would theis ancient ruin trigger a beast tide?”

Old Man Lin Yan could not help but ponder. He could not understand the reason no matter how much he thought about it.

In the great desolate region, it was understandable for a beast tide to appear. After all, there were human cities. However, in this ancient ruin, he could not understand. Firstly, there were no human cities. Secondly, these demon beasts did not seem to have any demon kings that could lead them?

After all, there were too many perfect foundation establishment demonic beasts. Could it be that there were demonic beasts of a higher realm than this?

Do not joke around. That kind of existence could not stay in the great desolate region. This was nature’s law.

At this moment, Su Yi looked into the distance with a solemn expression on his handsome face. He raised his hand slightly and muttered to the deepest part of the sky, “senior Lin Yan, do you think it’s because of that?”

In the direction he was pointing at, the deepest part of the sky in the relic was shrouded in a dark cloud.

From time to time, there would be lightning arcs flashing through the thick dark clouds. There were even a few lightning strikes. It was as if some mighty being was undergoing a tribulation.

However, that dark cloud did not look like a tribulation cloud.

At this moment, as they discovered the strange phenomenon in the sky, a light breeze began to blow around them. However, this light breeze was still strangely rushing towards the absolute domain in the distance.

“There might be a problem in the depths. Let’s quickly meet up with Nie Dingtian!”

Seeing the strange dark clouds in the sky and feeling the sudden breeze, Lin Yan immediately made a decision to continue heading towards the deepest part of the ruins.

Even if a large number of demon beasts were passing by, it was very likely that they were heading towards the depths. This time, they might even have to face the beast tide head-on.

However, at this point, there was not the slightest fear or panic on Lin Yan’s face. There was only a flash of worry on his face.

Lin Yan was not worried about anyone else, but Nie Dingtian. To him, Nie Dingtian was not just a good friend, he was more like a brother.

Therefore, even though he knew that there was danger, Lin Yan still wanted to head in that direction. He did not say anything else. After Old Master Lin Yan finished his sentence, his true essence started to vibrate as he shot out and headed towards the area where the phenomenon was occurring.

When Su Yi saw this, he did not hesitate and followed suit.

…

Before the phenomenon occurred, deep within the ruins.

Old Master Nie, Tang Shang, Xu Que, Xuan Mingzi and the rest of them had already entered a mysterious place. As they got closer and closer to the floating island, Xu Que seemed to have triggered some kind of restrictive spell.

The stone pillars scattered around the place started to emit a faint blue light, which formed a huge spell that enveloped them.

This huge spell gave them a great sense of pressure, as if their lives were in the hands of the other party.

“Old Ghost Tang! What have you done?!”

Xu Que looked at Tang Shang and shouted angrily. He had clearly seen Tang Shang touch a stone pillar before triggering this spell.

Who knew that the latter did not even think that he did anything wrong. Tang Shang looked at Xu Que and said confidently, “hmph, I just wanted to check if there were any traps. I didn’t expect there to be such a spell.”

Tang Shang’s words caused everyone to look down on him. This old man was really thick-skinned, huh? However, no one bothered with him as they were all thinking of ways to break through the restriction.

They saw that the restriction was like a huge barrier covering them. Currently, there was no way for them to go on offence. However, they had to be on guard because this was the restriction in the depths of the ruins. Who knew what would happen?

In the middle of the team, Xuan Mingzi’s face was gloomy. He looked as if he did not want anyone to get close to him.

Since a few days ago, Xuan Mingzi had become like this. No one knew why, but no one asked.

Were they on good terms? If they were not, why would they ask?

Moreover, Xuan Mingzi clearly looked like he was on the verge of exploding. Whoever went up to get into trouble deserved it.

The only person who knew why Xuan Mingzi looked like this was himself. The three brothers of Sword Pavilion had made a life tablet in their early years, and the purpose of the life tablet was to sense the other party’s location and life fluctuations.

However, just a few days ago, Xuan Lingzi’s life tablet cracked. How could Xuan Mingzi not be furious? However, it was impossible for him to flare up, so he could only endure it. For the past few days, all the elders could see was Xuan Mingzi’s cannibalistic gaze.

At this moment, Wang Ruobing, who was the only female among the elders, suddenly shouted, “look, the restriction has changed!”
