Chapter 98: The Second Level of the Ruins, Where Danger and Fortuitous Encounter Coexist!

“Is this my current level of power… ?”

Lin Lei stared at his hands in disbelief.

He could clearly sense that right now, he could completely rely on his physical body to even fight against a half-step Great Sage realm expert without any problems.

In this instant, Lin Lei had even thought of absorbing his Sword of Damocles and his Sword of Shadow Walker.

However, he still held it in.

After all, if he allowed the Sword of Damocles, a weapon that had surpassed the King-level, and the Sword of Shadow Walker, a peak King-level weapon, to be absorbed, Lin Lei would most likely be able to train his Infinite Sword Technique to the fourth level!

If Lin Lai were to truly absorb these two divine weapons, then Lin Lei would truly be an idiot.

Right now, the Sword of Shadow Walker contained a total of four hundred streaks of Sword Qi. If it were to be released, even the great Sage would be instantly killed by Lin Lei.

This was definitely Lin Lei’s most powerful trump card, and also Lin Lei’s current King-level explosive.

As for the Sword of Damocles in Linley’s hands, which had surpassed the peak King-level and reached the Demigod-level, it was thousand kilometers long and endless. Right now, though it had yet to completely recover, its power had already reached the Demigod-level.

If it was truly possible to completely repair the Sword of Damocles, most likely the entire easternmost region, and in fact in the entire world, would have no weapons that could compare to the Sword of Damocles.

“Although I’ve become stronger, I’ve also become very poor!”

Lin Lei couldn’t help but say helplessly.

It had already been seven years since he had transmigrated to this magical world. All of the various things he had accumulated over the past seven years had disappeared without a trace.

Although the Infinite Sword Technique was incomparably powerful, the amount of resources it required was extremely terrifying. The current Lin Lei could be said to be a giant gluttonous beast that wouldn’t reject any treasure.

“Alas…”

“I hope that the prehistoric ruins of the Beilageluoya Empire will allow me to replenish some of my resources.”

Lin Lei’s eyes couldn’t help but flash, and they glowed with a blazing light.

Just as Lin Lei was in deep thought, the sphere of light around him suddenly accelerated violently, accelerating towards the skies, transforming into a streak of light.

And then, in the next moment…

Lin Lei discovered that he was no longer in the chaotic space of the past.

Instead, he was outside of an incomparably majestic palace.

Although this incomparably large palace was now in a state of utter ruin, the remnants of it were still incomparably majestic and magnificent.

Even the shattered walls were 10 thousand meters tall, completely blocking everyone’s line of sight.

One pillar after another pierced through the clouds, with no end in sight.

Seeing this, Lin Lei couldn’t help but sigh.

Just how powerful was this prehistoric empire?

And why had such a powerful empire suddenly disappeared from history?

Just as Lin Lei appeared within the ruins, the surrounding 14 spheres of light appeared as well.

Seeing this spectacular scene, even the most powerful and oldest Tiger King couldn’t help but feel stunned.

Just this single piece of ruins had already surpassed the entire Empire of Saints!

It was too terrifying!

“So this is the second level?”

Quite a few Sages descended from the glowing orbs.

They subconsciously looked towards Lin Lei, and couldn’t help but freeze on the spot.

For some reason, right now, Lin Lei’s entire body was filled with an unrivalled sharpness.

Although right now, Lin Lei’s entire body didn’t seem to have changed at all, he was like a supreme divine weapon, incomparably sharp!

So Sharp that one couldn’t open their eyes.

When Lin Lei looked at them, even their hearts seemed to have been sliced apart by a blade. They couldn’t help but take a few steps back, only then were they able to catch their breath.

Seeing how powerful his sword intent was, Lin Lei couldn’t help but slightly withdraw his sword intent, then walked towards the Desolate Sword Sage, Bud.

The people who were on good terms with Lin Lei couldn’t help but reveal looks of joy on their faces.

As for the Seventh Prince, who had completely shed all pretense of cordiality with Lin Lei, his entire face was terrifyingly gloomy, as though water could be wrung out of it.

The Seventh Prince let out a cold snort, then stomped down hard, instantly disappearing from his original spot.

“Lin Lei, do you want to come with us?”

At this moment, Princess Diana couldn’t help but ask Lin Lei.

Lin Lei thought for a moment, then shook his head.

“I’m sorry, Princess Diana. As expected, I’m still a lone ranger. It’s best if I go on my own.”

After speaking, Princess Diana nodded as well. Without any further persuasion, she disappeared from her original spot.

Thus, at this moment, only Lin Lei and the Desolate Sword Sage, Bud, remained.

“Uncle Bud, haven’t you been to this second level before? Is there anything particular about this second level?”

Bud pondered for a moment, then replied to Lin Lei, “This is just a fragment of a relic from the prehistoric empire.”

“Didn’t I tell you before, an incomparably terrifying war broke out in the prehistoric empire? The entire continent was divided into five parts, the eastern, western, southern, and northern regions, as well as the Saint-realm.”

“Not only that, even this powerful prehistoric empire was divided in this world-shaking war.”

“On the second level, there were many mansions of the various dukes and nobles in the empire. Not only were there all sorts of secrets, medicines, weapons, and even all sorts of ancient profound mysteries and divine abilities left behind by the various nobles.”

“It can be said that within the ruins of the second level, there are countless treasures awaiting us to excavate.”

“Profound mysteries and divine abilities? Weapons?”

Lin Lei’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

Right now, there was no way for him to survive at all. He needed many, many high-quality weapons to improve his Infinite Sword Technique!

At this moment, Bud, the Desolate Sword Sage, couldn’t help but say to Lin Lei in a very serious tone.

“Kid, there’s one thing you must understand. Although this place is filled with countless treasures and fortuitous encounters, danger coexists with fortuitous encounters!”

“This definitely isn’t some sort of amusement park! Not only that, many of the residences here are filled with dangerous machines!”

“Many of the residences of major figures are filled with all sorts of restrictive spells left behind by the ancient nobles. If you accidentally trigger them, even the Grand Sage would probably be instantly killed.”

At this moment, while the Desolate Sword Sage, Bud, was speaking, an extremely miserable voice was suddenly transmitted from a distance.

The scholar-like Sage had just entered a dilapidated castle and was instantly covered by a black fog. In just a breath’s time, he had turned into a pool of thick water!

It was extremely terrifying!

Although this scholar-like Sage of Beilageluoya native only had the strength of a middle-rank Sage, he was still a genuine Sage!

To disappear into thin air like this, it could be said to be extremely terrifying!
