The Sacred Ruins

Panda Novel

One could get a mouthful of cold water stuck in their teeth if they drank it—one could even stab the depths of their hearts just by eating a popsicle. Bad luck was practically coiling around them because they were unsuccessful in everything they did. They experienced this in an extremely direct manner today.

Wasn’t this Earth, the planet that had been destroyed during ancient times? Could this still be considered to be a fallen land? The experts at the heaven-illumination realm outside Earth wanted to vomit blood. This sort of experience made their face turn as dark and black as the bottom of a pan.

Continuous pleasant surprises came one after the other!

Now, the one who felt the most disturbed and awkward was naturally An Sheng, the old man who made a move just now. His palm print still hadn’t left as it was frozen there; he was trapped with no room to advance or retreat.

Even though he wanted to curse out in his heart, he still wore a smile on his face and said, “Dao friend, you’re being courteous. There is no need to trouble you to greet us. I accidentally disturbed you from your peaceful cultivation. This old man is going to take his leave right now.”

“Then please atone for your crimes,” came a warm-sounding voice from the desert amongst the swaying blue spider lilies.

“What!?” An Sheng raised his voice. Earlier on, the other party had apologized for not going out to meet them and even asked to atone for his crimes. He even thought he had misheard him and thought that the other party was actually asking for forgiveness.

He never thought that this person really wanted him to atone for his crimes. As expected, this was that flower of death from the legends!

“This old man offers his apologies to Dao friend. I’ll be taking my leave now.” His palm was rapidly withdrawing as he was going to disappear from this place.

However, crisp swishing sounds could be heard as blue spider lilies blossomed. Mist covered everything and made the sun in the sky shine with a deep blue color. Large dense blue fog enveloped the area and imprisoned that hand.

“Come out! Come… right out!” Outside the realm, the powerhouse at the heaven-illumination realm named An Sheng pulled that hand out with all his might. He felt relatively

“Dao friend, if you have something to say, we should do so properly. Could you please permit me to pull my hand back first?” An Sheng humbled himself.

Those powerhouses at the heaven-illumination realm who came along with him were speechless. But soon after, they simultaneously reacted in the same way and that was to retreat because they didn’t want to set foot in muddled water.

The blue spider lilies down below swayed but didn’t have much of a response. They locked onto An Sheng and made it impossible for that hand to pull away. Even more terrifying was that they imprisoned a portion of his spirit energy and locked onto his arm.

If he was just losing his flesh, An Sheng wouldn’t mind abandoning his hand right away. So be it if he was going to lose face. But if he were to lose his soul, that would be far more severe because that would be equivalent to sustaining serious damage.

“When I explored the historical remains, I discovered a furnace full of Nine Rotational Golden Pill. Even though most of it has been used up, there’s still a few left. I’ll give them to Dao friend as a gift to you as this is our first time meeting.”

“I welcome Dao friend to come over next time to discuss the ways of the Dao. It’s nice to meet you,” said the spider lilies in a very courteous manner.

Whoosh! An Sheng retrieved his smile and had a stiff smile on his face. If this was someone else, he definitely would be ready to go to war. But this was the spider lilies mentioned in the legends. Not many people dared to provoke this old demon due to the sheer extent of his ominous name in those days.

It was reported that before he died in those days, he dragged many of his opponents along with him. This was a vicious stubble who dared to self-destruct after he went insane.

Who would have thought that this old demon was still alive. From the looks of things, he had taken root on Earth. There really wasn’t a great number of people who dared to fight with him to the death.

It was said that the descendants of the primal chaotic deities and demons within the dilapidated universe were amongst those who waged a war with the spider lilies in those times. But in the end, he had simply gotten rid of all of them!

“How unlucky!” An Sheng secretly said to himself. He was willing to be beaten by a door, but he wasn’t willing to start a feud with this kind of old demon.

That was because he believed he ought to be able to survive after suffering a beating from that woman’s door. That was, as long as the door didn’t continuously hit him. But it definitely wouldn’t end well if he were to be in a tangle with these spider lilies. They weren’t called the flowers of death for nothing.

“Since Dao friend is leaving, I will leave too!” An Sheng turned around and fled. He really didn’t have the face to stay here any longer.

An acquaintance at the heaven-illumination realm standing nearby mocked him, “Old An, you’re leaving just like that? Didn’t you originally want to exact your revenge here?”

“Life is so beautiful, yet you guys are so violent. Your realms are too low and you don’t understand the real meaning of this. This world still has hope with me leaving, as does it have something to look forward to, and poetry as well as distance lands. I am leaving!”

He ran and was nowhere to be seen in a split second.

Everyone was speechless.

In reality, the battle on Earth had completely ended. The other experts had fled, so there was no need to stay behind any longer.

One could slap out spider lilies just by slapping a dessert at random. If they were to punch Mount Tai and Mount Longhu, only heaven would know whether some other thing would leap out.

The pond water on Earth was too deep to the point where people were afraid.

Naturally, they all believed in their hearts that there shouldn’t be any other monsters nursing their injuries on Earth anymore; it was impossible for the planet to have so many passing travelers.

But the person they discovered before their eyes already made them terrified and they felt that they’ve had enough. There was no way to continue fighting in this place anymore.

Four experts at the heaven-illumination realm were overseeing a planet. What notion was this? The Deity Race, ranked last out of the top ten, couldn’t even compare to them. At the very least, if they were to have a duel, the Great Deity would be killed.

Since it was impossible to conquer Earth in a single battle, the best option was to run away.

They were people who had their familial roots. In the event that someone blocked them or annihilated their grandchildren and future generations, their mother planet would definitely be left defenseless.

At this moment, the starry sky was in disarray. It was as though every major platform was like boiling water in a copper cauldron; they were making a racket and everything was in a hubbub.

Everyone was shocked. There were four heaven-illuminators on a planet. It didn’t matter whether they were natives. Who would dare to refuse to give in when four such ferocious people were truly dwelling there at present?

“If anyone is unconvinced, give it a go and attack that place if you have the guts to! Didn’t you see that old man who likes poetry and distant lands? Once he saw the spider lilies, he ran away immediately!”

“Earth… really emerged. Give them time and they’ll invade the top ten and dominate them!”

A few old monsters were sighing. No one would’ve thought that four powerhouses would leap out of that ancient planet.

Initially, things were about to calm down, but in the end, another ruthless person appeared following Yaoyao’s grandfather and the mysterious woman. This made all of the old people speechless.

At this moment, everyone was paying attention to how much Earth’s ranking would rise this time.

“We decided to raise Earth’s ranking hereto. We unanimously felt that at the very least, it can rank within the scope of the tenth to thirteenth place.” Blackblood Arena made this kind of adjustments to Earth’s rankings.

“We think that Earth might be able to regain their spot as number eleven and maybe even be ranked tenth. Naturally, the worst ranking they can get is to be ranked twelfth.” Wormhole Express Company was also making their amendments.

But many evolvers from every race in the universe didn’t approve. Ever since four powerhouses appeared on Earth, everyone felt that the water was too deep and not everything could be seen in a single glance.

Many people thought that the Deity Race was done for and Earth could completely replace it. At the very least, their higher combat strength had been wiped out!

“Everyone, we are considering this based on a long-term view as well as the strategic height of Earth’s ability for continuous development,” explained someone from the Black Blood Platform.

They thought that out of the four powerhouses on Earth, one had just broken through from the saint realm, so that was still reasonable. Out of the other three, one was insane, while others were only passing travelers that could disappear at any time.

Other than that, looking at it from a long-term perspective, Earth wouldn’t have a suitable successor in a very long time. The Deity Race and Netherworld Race on the other hand had civilizations that ran deep. A new powerhouse at the heaven-illumination realm might even appear soon!

Other than that, the Deity Race’s ultimate weapon had flown away and entered the primal chaos. That place might have the legendary Deity Palace. In the event that one or two mysterious powerhouses walked out from the Deity Palace, that would really be something unimaginable!

The Wormhole Express Company had this sort of explanation as well. Taking a long term view of things, the Deity Race and Netherworld Race could still rise up because they possessed immense potential.

Before this, some people were still worried because the people at the apex of the pyramid of two races had been annihilated and would therefore be partitioned by other major influential races. But ever since the Deity Sword flew into the primal chaos, every party was afraid of what the consequences might be.

There was a legend since ancient times that said that the ancestors of the Deity Race came from the dilapidated universe in the primal chaos. Now, it seemed as though most of that was true!

“As long as the Deity Race’s mother planet still exists with no one to conquer it, they can still rise up and become overlords of the universe. The Deity Breathing Technique is not just all talk—it possesses boundless power and can even rank into this universe’s top six. The decline of this race in those days has to do with the Battle of the Divine Sea!” said the spokesperson for the Wormhole Express Company.

In reality, Uncle Ming and the rest were launching a killing spree when they were conducting their ratings. They attacked intensely and engulfed the mother planets of a few large races with such intensity that they were soaked in blood.

The outer realms didn’t know any of this at all because the Interstellar Network had been severed!

The Deity Race’s mother planet was very unique. It was problematic for golden arhats if they wanted to flee this land by taking to the air, but it wasn’t a problem for saints.

This planet was too powerful—order runes densely covered the planet, so much so that the suppression it inflicted upon evolvers was terrible!

Naturally, this was also a formidable form of sharpening one’s skills when cultivating. This was also one of the reasons why the Deity Race was so extremely powerful.

At this moment, screams of slaughter shook the sky over the largest divine city in the Deity Race’s mother planet. A group of old saints had gone insane

Without a doubt, there were domain runes here as well as law and order. It was abnormally terrifying.

But Uncle Ming had done sufficient preparation. He had planned ahead with the Sagemaster and had brought over a great number of divine magnetic stones that the Sagemaster had supplied him with. They were all ready-made domains!

Domains that shocked the heavens were unleashed following Uncle Ming’s activation of said domains. They enshrouded the region ahead and paralyzed the Deity Race’s divine city!

If not, it was unlikely that a large group of saints could overcome this land. This wasn’t a place that saints could breach even without the Great Deity overseeing this place and with the loss of a sect-guarding weapon.

But everything was being re-written at this very moment. The power of the domains the Sagemaster left for Uncle Ming was enormous. This was specifically inscribed beforehand to be used against the Deity Race.

Since a very long time ago, there wasn’t a time where the Sagemaster wasn’t thinking of exacting his revenge. He wanted to attack the lands of the Deity Race and the Netherworld Race. As such, he conducted research to see through the major arrays protecting their sects.

Now, the time for harvest had come. A group of saints massacred the Deity Race just like tigers entering a flock of sheep!

“Little brat, I really did manage to find you. Aren’t you arrogant? You wanted to take my grandchild as your servant on the mere fact that you’re the Deity Race’s direct disciple. Just because there was a slight resistance on his part, you made him a cripple. This old man is going to annihilate a little brat like you today!” Somewhere on a plaza, an old man carried a young expert from the Deity Race in his hands. Pfft! He pinched the youngster and he immediately exploded.

“This is still not enough. There were five or six of you little brats at that time! All of you must die!” This old saint was searching for the rest.

“The old man from the Deity Race, what are you running for? Hand over your life and accept your death! You sent this old man into the universe’s black prison that year just because we had a dispute due to our conflicting views. How tyrannical you are! Now I, your grandfather, has escaped! Get out!” roared another old man.

There were many experts in the Deity Race, but there were even more old saints that came today. Aside from the people Uncle Ming released from the universe’s black prison, many powerhouses had summoned their own friends. There were far too many people being brought along!

Naturally, the most crucial point was that they had collaborated with the universe’s black market and invited a black-hearted and cruel old fellow over. This group of people were benefiting above all else. The Great Deity was already dead and the Deity Sword had fled into the primal chaos. What else could they be afraid of? They practically viewed the Deity Race as a large delicious piece of fatty meat.

“Attack! Don’t let a single saint go!”

“Deity Race, destruction is imminent. Fellow old brothers, your harvest is before your eyes! Gather your strength and attack!”

Screams of murder rumbled the sky over the Deity Race’s mother planet. This race’s divine city was being destroyed by a war.

“My god! How can it be that the heavens are killing my Deity Race!?” roared an old experienced saint. He was seething in anger, hatred and resentment filled him along with grief and indignation.

But this wasn’t of much use. A group of saints who were all vicious stubbles had joined hands. Not a single one of them was merciful or lenient; all of them were attacking ruthlessly!

“The natural law of the heavens is unjust! My Deity Race was born from adhering to the commands received from the world and the atmosphere. How can we fall under such circumstances?” yelled an antique old man. He was seething with anger as he fought for his life with Uncle Ming and the rest. “Chang Ming, you dreg! You deserve to die! You’re actually the one commanding these people to attack us! I want you to die too!”

“Stop dreaming! I, your grandfather, came here to annihilate you guys!” shouted Uncle Ming. He quietly smashed out with the Heavenly Umbrella he borrowed from Maiden Xi.

Bang!

Blood mist sprung open and a renowned senior of the Deity Race died horribly with his body torn apart and bones crushed.

Tears streamed down Uncle Ming’s face as he roared at the sky, “Old brothers, do you guys see this? This day really did come, and quickly did it come too! I’ve avenged all of you!”
