It was the word 'battle'! Blood flowed from every stroke, as if they were alive.
It was a remnant left behind from an unknown time, and the blood had yet to dry up.
Was it because the owner of the bloodline was strong? Or was the writer strong? Or was it the power of the barrier? Was it because of the altar?
This unimaginable problem troubled the group of cultivation world's most outstanding young experts.
The characters were very ancient, and very different from the battle characters of the modern era. Everyone could only feel a strong fighting spirit from the characters, and thought that they were battle characters.
As soon as they came into contact with the words, they felt a sense of awe in their hearts.
"This symbol..." When Yi Zhen saw the word "battle", his face was filled with shock.
"You know him?"
Everyone was shocked, especially Lei Ao. Just now, he thought of the 'formation character' on the huge bronze door in the deep valley. There was also blood flowing on it.
The difference between the two was that the word "battle" was blood-red while the word "formation" was golden yellow. In comparison, the blood on the word "Battle" gave off a deep impression.
"No, I don't."
Yi Zhen shook his head and said, "In the sect's ancient texts, there was once a record that the ancestor of the family, Saint Fu Xi, had once discovered an ancient ruin. The word" Battle "is written on it.
"Then what did your ancestor mention? What kind of symbol is this? " Lei Ao asked.
"No, our ancestor had the strength of a saint. At that time, he was already a peerless expert, but he couldn't even find the entrance to the ruins."
The true answer left everyone disappointed as they once again sized up the altar.
The entire altar was very flat. Besides the word "Battle" in the middle, there were only eight incomplete diagrams in eight directions.
Everyone in the group recognized the humanoid image as the soldier carved on the statue. The blade in his hand was exactly the same.
However, the picture of the human figure was not just a portrait. That knife was not drawn on it, but carved on it. It was seventy percent deep into the ground, like a sockets knife.
Everyone carefully searched a few times, but they couldn't find any suspicious items, and they didn't even know what the so-called opportunity was.
"What's going on? Are we going to destroy this altar?"
Before the crowd could react, he swung the Demon Fighter Pestle and smashed it down with all his might.
Boom!
A human figure flew out of the altar like lightning, only stopping after colliding with a building a hundred kilometers away from the ruin of the tribe. A few miserable cries could be heard from the distance.
"That idiot." Everyone was speechless. If he could still scream, then at least he was still alive.
This altar was able to restrict their flight. This meant that a peerless expert had channeled his power into the altar, so how could a few people like them, who couldn't even fly, possibly destroy it?
It was unavoidable that he would suffer suffering if he didn't act according to his will. Fortunately, the Buddhist Body Refinement Method was tough enough, and the rebound force only made him feel pain but not injury. He staggered back to the altar and became more obedient.
After searching for a long time without any success, one of them made everyone stop and said, "I am sure this altar is the destination of our mission. The opportunity for destruction must be hidden inside this altar."
Zhou Qing said: "I think so too. The altar should be empty."
"The problem is that we can't find the entrance. This altar is made from the same material as the buildings outside, it's impossible to break it."
"Hmph hmph, a bunch of useless people. Fortunately, the Buddha still has something to gain from this." He had a complacent look on his face.
"What did you get?" The crowd was taken aback. This fellow was causing trouble from the beginning to end. What kind of gains could he reap?
"Look at this." He suddenly took out a huge sword. The sword looked very strange, as if it was forged randomly after melting some material.
What was important was not the sword, but the characters engraved on the sword. This was different from the words of the Ancient Era's Remnants; this was the language of the cultivation world. Everyone present could understand it.
"This was left behind by the Immortal Ascension Senior from six thousand years ago." Astonished, Yi Zhen quickly asked, "Where did you find it?"
He humphed and said, "Just now, Buddha flew back to the ruins to check, and indeed found some clues."
"When did you fly back to the relic?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment before they came to their senses, "Was it when he was knocked flying away while attacking the altar?"
"Pah pah, that's the Buddha borrowing the force to fly, what do you mean by being knocked flying?"
Disregarding his unhappiness, he angrily retorted, "Damn it, I'm not going to let you see it."
"Stop messing around." One of them snatched the sword away and grumbled, "Why didn't you take it out just now?"
"It's precisely to make you all anxious."
"..."
Everyone had the urge to beat the crap out of them.
"Eh, there is no way to open the altar up here."
Everyone read the message carefully. This was indeed the message left behind by the Immortal Ascension Senior from six thousand years ago.
There were rumors in the cultivation world that the senior had once entered the depths of the Wilderness before he ascended to the Immortal Realm. However, when he came out, he was seriously injured.
No matter who asked, no one mentioned the depths of the Wilderness. They only warned him that he could not enter without entering the fairyland.
He never expected that the depth he mentioned was actually the true forbidden area of the Wilderness. Furthermore, it was the core of the forbidden area.
That senior had also been besieged by a savage beast before. However, due to his mastery of the Gui Yuan Realm, there wasn't any danger. Furthermore, there weren't any intelligent life forms controlling the savage beast at that time.
He headed towards the south, and just like Lei Ao and the others, he passed by many tribe's remains. These remnants aroused his curiosity, and he decided to investigate to the end.
Hence, he came to the largest ruin of the tribe. However, he was also unable to decipher the ancient characters, and later found the location of the altar.
The barrier from six thousand years ago wasn't as weak as it was now. That senior had spent a great deal of effort to force his way through, but he wasn't as lucky as Lei Ao and the others.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he was immediately engulfed by a powerful and savage aura. This aura directly attacked his primordial spirit, causing him to fly backwards with heavy injuries.
In his terror, he no longer dared to explore any further. Not only that, he was afraid that his descendants would barge in recklessly. Hence, he refined the few magic treasures he had on him into a giant sword and left a message as a warning.
Due to the fact that Lei Ao and the others discovered the location of the altar first, they did not search for it within the tribe. As a result, they missed his message.
As he was bombarding the altar, he was sent flying back. Coincidentally, he bumped into the huge sword, which was why he was able to bring it back.
The last line of the sword was carved on it:
"That fellow only relied on his cruel consciousness to severely injure my primordial spirit. This is a legendary vicious beast, do not let any of your descendants barge into the altar. Bear in mind!"
Who was that guy? Ferocious beasts are …?!
Nangong Mengjun looked at Yi Zhen and said, "If I recall correctly, the ancient texts of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets once mentioned beasts. It seems to be related to the destruction of the world."
"Yes." Yi Zhen nodded. He had always remembered those words in his heart.
The descent of the vicious beasts led to the arrival of the apocalyptic era. When the blood-colored Heavenly Stele appeared, the Three Realms would collapse, the six paths would be destroyed, and even though there were mountains and rivers, there would be no turning back!
This was the information left behind by the Saint Fushe. A senior who had ascended to the Immortal Realm six thousand years ago had also mentioned Vicious Beasts. Could the two be the same?
If it was, then this vicious beast had already been born six thousand years ago.
"Senior was hurt by a vicious aura, but we did not meet. Could the beast have left the altar?"
"That won't happen. If that were the case, the Spirit Formation would have been shattered long ago." The sickly scholar replied, "The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets' ancestor once mentioned a ruin. It also had the same battle character as the center of the altar."
"What does it matter?" For a moment, An Yun couldn't figure it out.
"It does matter." Yi Zhen took over the topic and explained, "The era in which the ancestor existed was already before the Primordial Era, and he once said that the ruin he left behind was the product of countless years ago."
In other words, this altar had also existed countless years ago. Even though the barrier was very weak, it still hadn't disappeared after such a long time.
Just imagine, how strong was the barrier that was just set up? This was definitely not to protect the altar, but to seal a creature within it.
This creature was most likely a vicious beast. The birth that Saint Forthright had said was in fact breaking out from the seal of a vicious beast and then leading to the arrival of an era of great destruction.
They hadn't yet discovered any vicious beasts, but they were certain that these vicious beasts were still on the altar. And now, the time for the Heavencraft Pavilion to speculate about the era of great destruction was becoming increasingly tight.
After everyone had made their speculations, they came to the conclusion that there were still other beasts sealed inside the altar. Right now, it was storing up its last bit of energy in preparation to break out.
