Drawing in a deep breath and releasing it heavily, Xia Xinghe's heart finally calmed down.

"Miss Chu, let's go in." Xia Xinghe stared at that ancient building, his eyes narrowed as he interjected with interest, "There might be a dragon inside that ancient building."

"Dragon?" Upon hearing this, Chu Qingcheng was taken aback.

Dragons were a type of totemic existence in the Desolate Continent. Almost everyone worshipped dragons as gods, and the emperor and vassal lords considered themselves the sons of dragons.

But now, Chu Qingcheng suddenly heard that there was a dragon hidden in the ancient building in front of her. How could she not be shocked?

"Yes, it's a dragon!" Xia Xinghe confirmed again. After speaking, he walked towards the ancient building not too far away.

Xia Xing knew that whether it was the great hall or halberd, they needed to find them through the ancient building in front of them or the information provided by the dragon within. Thus, whether it was the things in the ancient building, dragons or insects, Xia Xingchen had to enter and take care of them!

Just as he took two steps forward, Xia Xinghe suddenly discovered that something was pulling on his palms. Abruptly, Xia Xinghe turned his head, only to see that he was still holding onto Chu Qingcheng's hand!

After being pulled by Xia Xinghe, Chu Qingcheng finally snapped out of her daze due to the shock of the dragon. And right after, she naturally turned her gaze towards Xia Xingchen …

Their gazes met and the two of them saw embarrassment and shyness in each other's eyes …

There was no need to talk about Chu Qingcheng. She was simply a goddess who had never experienced such an awkward situation before. As for Xia Xingchen, even if he was the Star Emperor of his previous life, he would only have one woman.

In other words, these two people didn't have a deep understanding of relationships …

"That …" He scratched his head in embarrassment and pointed to the ancient building, his eyes flashing as he said, "Let's go in and take a look. The members of the TianChu Martial Academy and the Shadow Army should be entering soon, before anyone finds us, we need to find all the resources and opportunities we can find, then make a breakthrough …"

"Alright!" Chu Qingcheng's beautiful face turned slightly red, but she still nodded her head in agreement. She knew that if she were to fight with the Tianwu Academy or any other transcendent powers here, her chances of winning would be extremely low.

Because of the existence of the ancient ruins, Xia Xingchen and Chu Qingcheng quickly erased their awkwardness and walked towards that ancient building, one after the other.

Arriving at the ancient building, Xia Xinghe pushed open the thick, vermilion wooden door without hesitation. A sharp creaking sound rang out as the door, which had been sealed for who knows how many years, opened.

The interior of the ancient building was not as heavy as he had imagined. Instead, it was filled with dust that assaulted one's nose. It was like a still space, everything was so quiet that it could be said to be filled with an aura of death!

Standing at the entrance of the ancient building, Xia Xingchen and Chu Qingcheng gazed inwards. Inside the dark ancient building, it was empty, dark, and empty, with only a stone wall in the center that seemed to be carved with some sort of complex pattern. Because the distance was too far and the light was too dim, not even Xia Xinghe could clearly see the pattern carved on the stone wall.

Xia Xinghe frowned slightly. Although he couldn't clearly see the engravings on the stone wall, he could still feel that the stone wall gave him a sense of crisis!

Was there a crisis?

So what!

If they didn't enter, both Xia Xinghe and Chu Qingcheng wouldn't be able to leave the ancient ruins!

Just as the Azure Dragon had said, if they didn't leave the ancient ruins within the 33rd hour, then they would be permanently sealed here!

Maybe the next 333 years would have a chance to enter the Ancient Era's Remnant and leave. But if that really happened, even the bones of Xia Xinghe and Chu Qingcheng would have rotted away.

Unless the two of them could break through into a realm that would be able to extend their lifespan against the heavens before their lifespans ran out, but that was simply unrealistic. Even Xia Xinghe, who possessed the Spirit Swallowing Heaven Stealing Technique, couldn't do it, because the place was filled with the aura of death and there was no spiritual energy at all!

Thus, even though he knew that the road ahead was full of thorns, he still wanted to go against the current, because there was no turning back now.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Xinghe resolutely strode into the ancient building.

Chu Qingcheng closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there were no longer any negative emotions in them. Only determination remained!

Chu Qingcheng was such a person. Once she was certain of one thing, even if she had to put her life on the line, she would still do it.

He vowed to treat Chu Rong's internal injuries … Specializing in medicine only for the sake of saving Lan Tong... For the sake of protecting the stars, he didn't fear Zhou Yu and the other five great instructors and risked his life in battle … Being cold, being stubborn, and being grateful — these were all examples of Chu Qingcheng.

Casting away the distracting thoughts in her heart, Chu Qingcheng followed Xia Xingchen as they walked into the ancient building one after the other.

When Xia and Chu arrived in front of the stone wall and started to look at the carved patterns on it, the ancient building's door suddenly closed without any warning!

Boom! *

In the silence of the ancient building, a muffled sound rang out.

However, both Chu Qingcheng and Xia Xinghe acted as though they didn't hear it. They only stared at the image on the stone wall without blinking their eyes …

The stone wall was extremely large, almost ten feet long. The carvings on it were also very rich, including screaming war horses, blood-soaked warriors, banners of all kinds, sabers, spears, arrows, and even battlefields filled with blood and fire …

Without a doubt, the carving on the stone wall was a tragic and tragic war scroll!

Chu Qingcheng and Xia Xinghe seemed to have merged into a stone painting. The killing intent and thunderous roars on the battlefield shook the deepest depths of their hearts. It was as though the souls of the two of them had been absorbed within …

Inside the ancient building, Xia Xinghe and Chu Qingcheng stood motionlessly in front of the stone walls, staring at the stone walls. Gradually, their eyes also became lifeless, so much so that they gave off the impression that Chu Qingcheng and Xia Qingcheng had already become stone statues!

Suddenly, without any warning, a strange crimson light flashed out from the stone wall. Although the crimson light flashed for a moment, in the moment it stopped on the stone wall, it drew out two words: Asura wall!

At the instant when the crimson rays of light dissipated, Chu Qingcheng and Xia Xinghe actually closed their eyes at the same time, as though they were two puppets, and limply sat on the ground.

In actuality, Chu Qingcheng and Xia Xinghe didn't even have the slightest inkling of this. This was because the scene before their eyes had already undergone an earth-shattering transformation …
