Chapter 418: Strengthening the soul, Zuo Jing reappears
On the desolate land, a huge black stone gate with a height of 10,000 meters stands. Some mysterious and simple runes are carved on the stone gate, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
At this time, Chen Chu and others were standing under the huge stone door, as small as ants.
The land around the stone gate is undulating, and some hills with weathered rocks stand. There are more than a dozen huge gray stone statues standing vaguely among the hills, surrounded by clouds and mist above their heads.
The appearance of these stone statues is somewhat similar to that of the aliens from the Alliance of Gods, and they appear solemn and ferocious.
It’s just that when the earth extended hundreds of kilometers away, it suddenly broke apart. The earth shattered and the mountains collapsed, turning into countless huge meteorites floating in the void.
This void is not the void after the space has collapsed, but the void of the universe that is similar to nothing, and the land with a radius of a thousand kilometers under their feet is just an 'island' floating in the void.
I don’t know how many years ago, a war that wiped out everything happened here, and the world was shattered.
Feeling the chaotic laws and violent energy between heaven and earth, Chen Chu said solemnly: "Everyone, be careful, there is something wrong with this ruins."
“Yeah.” The seven people in Hong Zhen nodded slightly.
At this time, the young man with three eyes in the distance spoke slowly: "Everyone, the purpose of our entering the ancient Nadu ruins this time is to explore resources and inheritance rather than to fight."
"This ruins is huge and boundless. It is the result of the collapse of a huge inner world. I suggest that everyone chooses a direction to explore without disturbing each other. How about it?"
As he spoke, the young man from the three-eyed tribe looked towards the human tribe, and his eyes fell on Chen Chu.
Except for Chen Chu, no one else was taken seriously by this three-eyed clan who was at the pinnacle of the Nine Heavens.
Chen Chu nodded slowly: "Okay, but that's the direction in which our human domain will go." As he said that, he pointed to the left rear, even though there were more meteorite belts scattered in the void in the area.
In addition, there are three intact stone statues in each direction. An Fuqing mentioned before that her soul crystal was obtained from those stone statues.
But the stone statue she smashed was much smaller, only a few hundred meters high.
This time entering the ruins, Ji Wuji and An Fuqing on the human side were both in the eighth heaven, and there was also Li Hao, who was at the peak of the sixth heaven when he entered, so Chen Chu directly occupied a general direction.
The young man with three eyes nodded: "Okay."
Ignoring the foreign tribes who divided various exploration directions and areas, Chen Chu looked at Xia Zuo and others: "Are you going to go your own way, or are two or three people going to join forces?"
Hong Zhen said in a deep voice: "Generally, exploration of ruins depends on chance. It would be a waste of time to go together, so we should separate."
"I have no opinion."
“Okay, that’s it.”
After a brief exchange of opinions, the eight people from Chen and Chu turned into rays of light and soared into the sky, while the other alien races also scattered away.
I don’t know how long the ruins will be open this time, so I naturally have to hurry up and explore.
As for voluntarily leaving, you only need to return to the black stone door and activate the iron piece in your hand, and you will be thrown out of the ruins by the powerful pulling force.
Whoosh!
At an altitude of one thousand meters, Chen Chu walked one kilometer at a time, walking in the air. Not far away from him, An Fuqing turned into a green sword light that was a hundred meters long, like a chain of swords spanning the sky and the earth.
With the sword light shining, the two of them quickly crossed more than two hundred kilometers and arrived not far away from a stone statue more than a thousand meters high, with a human body and a tiger face, resembling a white-striped alien.
An Fuqing couldn't help but pause, looking at the stone statue with some solemnity: "Chen Chu, these stone statues have no long-range attack methods, but their power is terrifying, and they are almost immune to energy attacks."
“Immune to energy attacks!” Chen Chu was a little surprised.
An Fuqing nodded: "Yes, it seems to be related to the special runes on them."
Looking at the stone statue that was as huge as a mountain peak, Chen Chu felt inexplicably familiar. It felt somewhat similar to the stone statue he had encountered on the way to the Seventh Legion's station.
Especially the surface of the stone statue looks simple, like some runes drawn casually, and the traces are also very similar.
Boom!
At this time, An Fuqing's astonishing sword energy penetrated the sky, and the sword light on the black sword behind him surged, turning into a black sword energy that was more than two hundred meters long and soared into the sky.
The black sword energy tore through the atmosphere, leaving a dark trail in the air and shooting out.
At the moment when the black sword light containing space tearing burst out, the runes on the body of the stone statue that sensed energy fluctuations suddenly lit up.
Boom! The huge body of the giant stone statue moved, and its arms as thick as mountain pillars rolled up the air waves of the mountains and tsunamis, and hit the black sword energy with terrifying power.
However, compared with the black sword energy, the movement of the stone statue seemed a bit slow. The moment the two sides approached, the sword light turned and struck the stone statue's arm.
Boom!
Under the sword energy that can even tear a crack in the space of the mythical world, the stone arm of the stone statue shattered, and a sword mark was cut out that was more than fifty meters long and several meters deep.
At the moment when the rock on the arm of the stone statue was chopped, a terrifying counter-shock force erupted on the stone statue, shattering the sharp space-tearing sword energy into pieces and disintegrating into a sky-wide force of energy.
Woo!
The stone statue's mouth vibrated like a steam whistle, and an energy comparable to that of the Nine Heavens erupted in its body. White air waves swept through the mountains and tsunamis with both arms and hit An Fuqing and Chen Chu.
At the same time, the moment the huge palm waved, the mysterious runes wrapped around the arm lit up, forming a heavy force that enveloped the two people within a few hundred meters.
Under the force that almost squeezed the air into substance, the two of them felt heavy and it was difficult to move.
Just when An Fuqing's sharper sword intent erupted and was about to tear apart the surrounding air as heavy as steel, Chen Chu slowly spoke: "I'll do it."
Speaking, Chen Chu’s figure moved, bang! The surrounding solidified atmosphere collapsed, forming transparent cracks that spread. At this time, Chen Chu was already hundreds of meters away.
In his hand, a ferocious Bahuang halberd appeared, exuding an extremely heavy aura of power.
Since this kind of stone statue is highly immune to energy attacks, Chen Chu is too lazy to waste his real power and prepares to blow it up with pure power.
Boom!
As the huge palms of the stone statue closed together, the air was squeezed into substance under the terrifying force, like white high-pressure air waves spurting out from the gaps between the giant elephant's fingers.
It was only then that Chen Chu, who looked like a mosquito compared to the stone statue, reacted. The halberd in his hand was entwined with **** light. It was a vision blessed by the Blood Sea Doomsday Realm.
In addition, there are four blessings from the four planes of power.
Click! Under the characteristics of infinite pressure, a layer of heavy pressure field was formed on the surface of the Bahuang War Halberd, just like a mountain compressed to a size of four meters. The terrifying weight even caused the surrounding space to distort.
Boom! The moment Chen Chu swept across with his halberd at ten times the speed of sound, a black semicircle covering dozens of meters was formed around him, and the space wherever he passed was shattered by the overbearing power.
The palm of the huge stone statue exploded directly, shattering into countless rubbles that exploded out under the terrifying impact, covering a range of more than ten kilometers.
At the moment when Chen Chu smashed the palm of the stone statue, four sword qi from An Zhiqing exploded from behind and turned into four black, red, blue and gray swords surrounding him.
Bang, bang, bang!
Those gravels that exploded at more than ten times the speed of sound, like cannonballs, were instantly shattered by the sword energy, erupting with a vibrating roar, and setting off a howling wind with astonishing force. This is a high-level battle. If you don't have the strength, you can't even get close, and you will be wiped out by the aftermath of the battle in an instant.
Chen Chu's figure, whose palms were shattered by the strong wind and waves in the distance, appeared on the head of the stone statue. The halberd was wrapped with blood, and he slashed it down with terrifying power.
Boom!
The moment the halberd landed on the head of the stone statue, all the runes on the stone statue shined, instantly distributing all the power contained in the halberd throughout the body.
Boom! The huge body of the stone statue sank with a crash, and the ground for several kilometers beneath its feet shattered. Countless dirt and gravel rose into the sky under the power of Chen Chu's halberd.
It's just that Chen Chu's physical strength was too terrifying. Just for a moment of stalemate, black cracks appeared on the head of the stone statue.
Click click click! These cracks continued to spread, covering the upper body of the stone statue in the blink of an eye, tearing the runes apart, and the integrated power suddenly disappeared.
Boom! The upper body of the stone statue exploded, scattering countless rubbles, and the lower body collapsed like a mountain, sending up strong winds and smoke all over the sky.
Looking at the collapsed ‘mountain’ below, Chen Chu’s eyes fell on a watermelon-sized, translucent black spar among the broken stones of his skull.
Whoosh! Chen Chu's figure flashed to the ground and picked up the soul crystal. Suddenly, a row of transparent words appeared in front of his eyes.
“Have you discovered the high-purity crystallized soul energy and converted it into soul points?”
Chen Chu showed a faint smile on his face and put the soul crystal away. An Fuqing would definitely not be able to transform it directly here.
Woooo! At this time, the whistle of the stone statues was heard from other directions. Looking from a distance, Hong Zhen and Chen Shuangfen were also eyeing the two stone statues a hundred kilometers away.
However, compared to Chen Chu who could smash the stone statue with one blow, they fought very fiercely. All kinds of powerful forces hit the stone statue, causing the rubble to fly everywhere.
It’s just that these stone statues are very immune to energy, and are somewhat similar to the chaotic dark power talent of Thunder Flame Emperor Dragon. Therefore, although Hong Zhen and the two have the advantage, it will take a long time to destroy them.
Chen Chu glanced at the two stone statues, thought for a while, and gave up the plan to **** them. After all, they were his own, and there were stone statues floating vaguely in the distance.
After destroying the stone statues in this direction, Chen Chu and An Fuqing soon arrived at the edge of the void.
Looking at the girl carrying four swords on her back, Chen Chu reminded: "Classmate An, your sword energy is somewhat restrained by the stone statue, remember to be careful."
"Don't worry, I understand that I won't explore ruins beyond my strength." An Fuqing nodded, and then rushed into the chaotic void of heaven and earth energy.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sword light transformed by An Fuqing was like a streak, more than a hundred meters long, and like a straight line, it destroyed the meteorites that were tens of meters and hundreds of meters long.
Watching An Heqing rush into the void, Chen Chu also turned around and flew in the other direction. With his terrifying eyesight, he had already seen a slightly intact building two hundred kilometers away.
Boom!
Swept under the Bahuang War Halberd, which was entangled with purple-red light and swallowed hundreds of meters, a two-kilometer-sized rubble exploded in the void, and the shock wave mixed with smoke and dust swept across more than ten kilometers.
Chen Chu stood in the void holding a halberd, with a faint smile on his face. This feeling of destroying everything was so good.
Who would have imagined that more than half a year ago he was just a low-level cultivator who could wield hundreds of kilograms of force with a wave of his arms, and he could only rely on that brute force to fight.
But now he can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and can destroy a mountain peak and shatter the earth with a single strike.
After feeling refreshed, Chen Chu turned into a purple-gold light and flew forward and upwards. After avoiding some earth fragments, he approached the ruins of the building.
This is a large 'island' floating in the void with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers, with a simple building covering several kilometers standing in the middle.
Most of these buildings have collapsed, leaving only ruins and ruins. Only a thousand-meter-high palace like a palace made of white rock stands.
Under the erosion of time, the carving patterns on the palace walls and stone pillars have become blurred, and only some Gunado runes still exude some power fluctuations.
In front of the gate of this best-preserved palace, eight broken stone statues more than 500 meters high with broken arms and legs stand in the square.
Boom! Chen Chu fell from the sky at a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound. The moment he landed, the ground shattered within tens of meters, and rocks exploded in all directions like bombs.
Buzz!
Sensing the intrusion of 'people', the runes on the eight stone statues with dragon heads and human bodies lit up, and their bodies emitted energy fluctuations comparable to the eighth heaven.
Click click click! The eight broken stone statues slowly turned their heads and looked at Chen Chu. An invisible wave of thoughts erupted from their bodies, shaking the air.
“Intruders, kill.”
Just before the eight stone statues could take action, a purple-gold halberd with a length of more than 300 meters burst out from the smoke and dust in the sky. The stone statues continued to shatter and explode wherever it passed.
Under Chen Chu’s unparalleled power, these stone statues were destroyed in an instant and were severely damaged.
Chen Chu's figure flickered in the smoky wind. He collected eight fist-sized black transparent crystals, and finally landed on the head of a stone statue that was tens of meters high and shattered from the middle.
These stone statues are indeed very immune to external attacks that increase the energy of heaven and earth, but this immunity has a certain limit. If the limit is exceeded, they can still be destroyed.
For example, this stone statue, which is hundreds of meters high and can burst out the power of the eighth heaven, is basically immune to external energy attacks from the eighth heaven realm. Only physical damage can cause damage.
The stone statue in front of it, which is more than a thousand meters high, is immune to the external power of the Nine Heavens. Its combat power is comparable to that of the Nine Heavens, and the soul crystal contained in its body is also larger.
“You transformed eight pieces of crystallized soul energy and obtained 72, 83…91 soul points respectively.”
“You transformed high-purity soul energy and gained 391 soul points.”
Hold the soul crystal in hand, Chen Chu directly chose transformation.
Suddenly adding the original 97 points, as well as the previous ninth-level soul crystal, the soul points on the page accumulated to 1143, directly meeting the requirements for strengthening the fourth level of Taixu Minghua Sutra.
Even Chen Chu was a little excited at this harvesting speed.
Looking at the empty palace with only twelve stone pillars in front of him, Chen Chu sat cross-legged on the stone, thoughts rang in his mind.
“Consume one thousand soul points to strengthen the fourth level of Taixu Minghua Sutra.”
Boom!
In an instant, the soul energy converted from a thousand soul points exploded in Chen Chu's body, pouring into the depths of his body. There, up to a hundred meters high, the true soul body wearing a black imperial robe emerged.
Under the soul-strengthening energy, the Taixu Minghua Sutra moved at a terrifying speed. Suddenly, the aura of the soul's true body surged, becoming more and more terrifying, and its size was also slowly increasing.
Just when Chen Chu’s soul skills were broken through, and other people and aliens also went deep into the void and began to explore the ruins, deep in the ruins world, a young man in white robes opened his eyes.
This young man is almost identical to ‘Zuo Jing’ who once entered the southern battlefield.
First update, Chapter 2 is being revised, it will be a little later. If I say 8,000 words today, the update will definitely be more than 8,000 words.
