The Sacred Ruins

A Sea of golden creatures descended like clouds. It was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe. These were densely packed insects that were no more than three inches long and had wings. The sound of flapping wings was ear-piercing, as if metal plates were rubbing against each other, it made one’s teeth ache.

Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!

The Sword Qi in Chu Feng’s hand was like a rainbow. This was a saint weapon he had obtained in a foreign land. Now, it was surging with golden light and burning like flames. He was killing strange insects.

These insects were too dense. More than 50% of them were at the golden body level. How could an ordinary person block such a dive?

As the sword in Chu Feng’s hand danced, countless insects shattered and fell down with rustling sounds. Even if there were groups of golden insects, they wouldn’t be able to block the saint’s attack.

Before long, insect corpses piled up in this area. There were simply too many of them.

He could kill many of them with a single slash, but he couldn’t withstand the sea of insects. They rushed over like golden clouds from the Great Canyon in an endless stream.

They were like silkworms, but their entire bodies were golden in color. Furthermore, they had golden wings on their backs. The most terrifying thing was that their teeth were sharp and glinting with cold light when they opened their mouths.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

Some insects swooped down near Chu Feng’s group and pierced through the sturdy and immortal rocks in the forbidden area. They gnawed on them and turned them into powder, riddled with thousands of holes.

This was terrifying. The small insects had only attacked once and caused the mountains to disappear, causing an abyss to appear on the ground.

Chu Feng drew in a cold breath. The so-called Great Canyon Hive was most likely eaten by these insects and wasn’t a natural canyon. How dare they torment themselves in the forbidden area?

“Little Vermillion Bird, hurry up and eat the insects!”Chu Feng shouted.

The Little Vermillion Bird, who was focused on battling the golden flying insects in the sky, was fuming with anger when she heard this. She widened her ruby-like eyes and wanted to turn around and peck at him!

The Sea of golden flying insects turned into ashes under Chu Feng’s brilliant sword radiance. However, they were still densely packed and the sky was covered as they pounced toward him.

“Do these insects have no end?”Chu Feng frowned.

The little vermillion bird said, “This is a secret realm flying silkworm. Relatively speaking, it’s a relatively ordinary one. However, no one has barged in for tens of thousands of years. It hasn’t been used up yet, so its numbers must be endless.”

The so-called secret realm flying silkworms grew in the secret realm of the Forbidden Zone.

In the first forbidden zone, an ordinary valley or a mountain peak could actually form a world of its own. The inside was vast and boundless, and there was another universe.

It was usually very dangerous. Some strange creatures lived in the middle and did not show their presence. Only when someone broke into the Forbidden Zone did the secret realm open wide, allowing them to be bloodthirsty and crazy.

This kind of flying silkworm had appeared in history. It ate everything, from rocks to grass and trees to soil. It was incomparably savage and almost devoured the entire world.

“Clang!”

When Chu Feng brandished his sword, golden specks of light flew over and crashed into the blade. Sparks flew in all directions as saint level insects appeared. This was very bad.

No wonder the stone Fox said that after reaching the saint level, he would have the opportunity to barge into the forbidden area. This was actually telling him that the weakest threat was also at the saint level.

“Come to my side!”Chu Feng shouted to the Little Vermillion Bird. He was afraid that something would happen to it and that there would be countless saint insects. If they were to cover the sky and cover the earth, not to mention the little vermillion bird being gnawed to the bone, even he wouldn’t be able to escape.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In an instant, Chu Feng encountered dozens of fierce attacks. Eight saint insects appeared. When they flapped their wings, their sounds were extremely terrifying and made one’s soul ache. They emitted an inexplicable shockwave energy.

Chi!

Chu Feng killed them in anger. He cut one of the saint insects into two and then pierced another one through. He nailed it to the sword and the saint blood flowed out.

“Buzz!”

At the same time, he shook the pair of sword wings formed from his ribs and swept across the dangers in all directions. The sword radiance was like water. In addition to the death of a large number of ordinary silkworms, the other three saint insects were also killed.

“Eh?”

Chu Feng was astonished. After seeing the saint level insects, he discovered that the divine particles he had absorbed were much denser than before. There were also more dao ancestor substances.

This made him astonished. He then attacked frantically and engaged in an intense battle here.

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz!

At the end of the battle, there were more than twenty saint level golden silkworms circling around him and continuously dancing. Chu Feng’s shoulder was gnawed into a bloody hole and his arm was almost pierced through. This almost put him in danger.

“How can there be so many?”Chu Feng was apprehensive and his heart was filled with fear. This was because these flying silkworms were inexhaustible. They rushed out of the canyon like a tide.

Most of them were at the golden body level. This wasn’t an ordinary battle strength. It completely didn’t conform to the evolutionary reality of a race. How much resources would they have to consume?

“They eat divine remains or the soil mixed with them to grow,”the little vermillion bird informed.

Chu Feng’s expression changed when he heard this. He had already learned that countless gods had fallen here since ancient times. Countless of them had been absorbed by the forbidden land.

This kind of flying silkworm dared to eat the divine corpses. Wasn’t it afraid of the entanglement of strange substances? He was apprehensive. This flying silkworm was truly special.

However, he felt relieved when he thought of the fact that this was the first forbidden land. The creatures born here were certainly very special. Moreover, there were rumors that whoever could walk out alive would be able to live a new life and remove the threat of the gray fog.

It seemed that there was a way to resolve the problem in the first forbidden area!

“Eh?”

Suddenly, Chu Feng was horrified. He had absorbed a large number of divine particles, but he also felt a wave of unease. Apart from divine particles, there was also a trace of gray fog entering his body.

“The creatures here contain many divine particles, but the strange substances in their bodies are also denser!”

Chu Feng had killed for three days and three nights. His body was covered in blood and he wanted to vomit at the sight of insects. He was on the verge of collapse. There were a few times when he wanted to hide in the stone box, but he persevered.

That was because, according to the Little Vermillion Bird, if he couldn’t pass the first stage, there was no need for him to enter the forbidden area. He would die without a doubt.

It wasn’t until the fourth day that his body was covered in wounds and the surrounding bugs were like a sea. The world was finally quiet and no more bugs flew out from the secret realm in the Grand Canyon.

He had killed dozens of saint level bugs alone. If this were to spread to the ears of ordinary people, they would definitely be dumbstruck. Dozens of saints had died?

During this period, Chu Feng had tried to capture some bugs in an attempt to probe their soul light. In the end, he discovered that their spiritual bodies were very special. They contained order runes and were suffused with killing intent, but they didn’t have their own consciousness.

“This is just a biological tool?”He felt cold from head to toe. Rather than calling it a living creature, it was more appropriate to say that it was a large number of killing tools created by an inexplicable and terrifying method. It was definitely not an ordinary creature.

The Little Vermillion Bird looked at him worriedly. Her eyes were like crystals, pure and filled with uneasiness. She reminded Chu Feng in a low voice that there would be endless trouble after cultivating the minor six paths of time technique.

In truth, even if the legendary six paths of time technique was flawless, whether there were any hidden dangers in cultivating it was still uncertain in the opinion of the crippled heavenly venerate. There was currently no way to verify it.

“Let’s go.”

Chu Feng was unconcerned. Since he had already considered it back then and made a decision and left a path of retreat, there was nothing to regret or hesitate about.

“Eh?”

Suddenly, he turned around and sensed some movement from the direction he had come from. He brought the Little Vermillion Bird up a mountain and looked back with his fiery eyes.

“There are people wandering outside. They seem to be the descendants of those gods from the Savage Beast Plateau,”Chu Feng said leisurely.

He had interacted with these people before and had killed some of them in the past hundred years.

“They’ve found this place. It seems they already know that my mother has passed away.”The little vermillion bird was dejected and sad. Her mother had passed away, and her siblings had also gone to the world of the living. Their fate was unknown.

“We still have to live and walk. What’s the point of thinking so much?”Chu Feng said. He deliberately played it down so that the little vermillion bird could get rid of those emotions.

“They’re coming to kill us!”The Little Vermillion Bird said.

Outside the forbidden area, those people were observing the terrain and touching the bloodstains on the ground with their hands. Not long ago, Chu Feng had killed a descendant of the martial god, leaving behind a trace.

“There’s a illuminator!”Chu Feng was apprehensive.

He couldn’t leave now. He was stuck here and had no way out. He could only move forward and rapidly become stronger, forcing him to evolve rapidly.

“Xiao Wu is dead. The little girl of the Vermillion Bird Race found a helper, and it was him who killed him. It’s not simple.”

There were people from the youth to the middle-aged outside the forbidden area. Each of them had extraordinary bearing. They were indeed from the fierce beast plateau and belonged to the descendants of gods.

These people had been near the abyss recently. They had crossed swords with the opponents of the Divine Beast Camp many times, and they really wanted to slaughter the last descendant of the Vermillion Bird clan.

The old vermillion bird slaughtering gods was a great hatred for these people, and the impact was extremely terrible.

“If it doesn’t come out, it will definitely die in there. But if it gives up halfway and escapes, leave it to me. I need a maid with divine blood.”A blue-haired young man smiled, looking bright and sunny.

“This time, don’t fight with me. I need a caged bird to offer to Lord God.”Another white-haired young man spoke.

A middle-aged man didn’t say anything. His golden hair was shining. He suddenly threw out a short spear. With a boom, the void exploded and he threw it directly into the forbidden area.

They didn’t dare to go deep into this ancient devil land. The lesson of their ancestors’blood made them terrified. So Many Gods had died over countless years. Now, no one treated this place as a place for resurrection. No one could be reborn.

This short spear was too terrifying. It was surrounded by a sky-filling radiance and pierced through everything. After the void exploded, energy surged and seethed into the forbidden area.

“Hurry up and leave!”

Chu Feng was frightened and his scalp went numb. The moment the other party raised his hand, he knew that they were coming for them. He brought the Little Vermillion Bird and rushed deeper into the forbidden area before disappearing from the mountain peak.

Boom!

Only then did he take a step and leave. The short spear flew down and a huge explosion occurred on the mountain!

The mountain peak disappeared, and the energy raged!

With the methods of a reflection-level evolver, let alone a mountain peak, even a star would be reduced to dust if it was hit. There was simply no way to stop it.

However, the situation here was special. Only one of the mountain peaks had shattered. As the energy continued to spread, it was blocked by the runic light rising from the ground.

As expected of a forbidden land. It was very difficult to be destroyed, even for a reflection-level evolver.

After all, these mountaintops were densely packed and boundless. Although they were in the underground world, there was no difference between this place and the surface of the Earth. It was peaceful and radiant, and the mountains and rivers were magnificent.

PFFT!

Chu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he had managed to dodge in time with the Little Vermillion Bird, he was still slightly impacted. The Illuminator was too terrifying and far surpassed a saint.

His face was slightly pale. With a crack, he reattached a dislocated arm. One could see that there were many wounds on his back and his shoulder had almost exploded.

“You... Are You Alright?”The Little Vermillion Bird was very worried.

“I’m fine. This old brat is really ruthless. He dares to randomly attack the forbidden area. Isn’t he afraid of Disaster?”Chu Feng gritted his teeth. Once he became a illuminator and charged out, he would skin them alive. So what if he was a descendant of a deity.

“The border of the forbidden area isn’t an important area. It’s usually fine. If you dare to touch the depths of the forbidden area or the special terrain, you’ll die,”the Little Vermillion Bird explained and told him to leave quickly.

However, there was a special terrain blocking the way ahead. It would be troublesome to go around it.

Chu Feng flew at high speed, but he was still attacked. Another short spear flew over and pierced through the ground near him with a boom. Energy raged and almost covered him below.

Chu Feng was sent flying with blood foam in his mouth. He turned back to look at those people and disappeared with the Little Vermillion Bird.

Chu Feng and the others were in big trouble. They were constantly being obstructed by the illuminator’s flying spears and had no choice but to flee. In the end, they had charged into an unknown area.

Groups of sword lights rushed forward. They were divine swords one after another. Some were incomplete and broken, while others were in perfect condition without a xun. Their power was boundless.

Buzz!

The void trembled as large halberds and others rose from the ground and flew over. They suddenly bombarded Chu Feng and the Little Vermillion Bird with divine might!

The radiance of this area was dazzling and the atmosphere was stifling. It was suffocating as the energy that surpassed the level of the illuminator permeated the air.

Even though they were still quite a distance away, Chu Feng’s body was already covered in cracks and was bleeding. The Little Vermillion Bird was also wailing and coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.

The sky was filled with divine rainbows and interweaving. This was the energy of gods and their weapons. They interweaved and sealed this mountainous area. The scene was too terrifying.

Swoosh!

Chu Feng had no choice. He opened the stone box and rushed in with the Little Vermillion Bird. He quickly closed the lid.

Even so, their bodies were cracked by the threads of divine pressure. Their bodies were blood-red, but at the critical moment, the box was finally closed to isolate their auras.

Chu Feng frowned deeply. This was indeed a dangerous place. It wasn’t even deep inside, but it was already like this on the outside. No wonder the old Vermillion Bird died on the fallen Phoenix Slope.

“These were weapons left behind by those gods after their deaths. Now that they’ve been activated in the forbidden land, they can shoot out in all directions. They can kill Gods and Buddhas if they are in their way!”The Little Vermillion Bird was very nervous.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The stone box was attacked. The divine swords, halberds, Spears, and so on all fell down. They either slashed or stabbed the stone box, sending it flying.

Chu Feng and the Little Vermillion Bird rolled back and forth because the stone box was being attacked. It was rolling back and forth and was even being smashed through the air.

Chu Feng’s heart was heavy. This forbidden land was indeed terrifying. Without the stone box, he would have died. He would have been killed by a god’s weapon!

He sighed inwardly. The crippled Fox was too deceitful. This was simply sending him to his death!

After an unknown amount of time, it finally quieted down.

Chu Feng had the little vermillion bird hide within the stone box. He cautiously went out to test the waters, but he didn’t feel any threat.

This was a grassland that stretched as far as the eye could see. The divine sword and halberd had cut through the air of the stone box to some unknown region. To think that there was actually such a vast grassland within the mountains and rivers of this forbidden land. It was truly too vast.

This place was definitely not the outermost region.

The surroundings were very quiet. The lush green meadow had grown to the height of more than half a person. The fresh air and gentle rays of light made everything seem so beautiful

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over. All the Artemisia plants rose and fell violently. Then, they separated into two sides as if they were forming a road. Then, a layer of goosebumps appeared all over Chu Feng’s body.

He saw a huge green snake with a diameter of five to six meters. It was even faster than lightning. It rushed over from the depths of the grassland and opened its bloody mouth. It pounced toward him.

Saint level snake!

PFFT!

Chu Feng brandished his sword and used all his strength to kill the snake. He chopped off its head and blood gushed out.

Suddenly, he felt an evil wind blowing against his face. He suddenly moved a dozen kilometers away and raised his head to look. A silver winged dragon swooped down and tore the earth apart. This was a peak saint level existence.

Roar!

At the end of the horizon, in a forest, a golden Tyrannosaurus leaped up and crossed the sky. It also directly charged towards Chu Feng to kill him.

“What kind of Godforsaken Place is this?”Chu Feng was apprehensive. These beasts were all late-stage saint level experts and were all very powerful.

Then, he began an intense battle. This battle lasted for ten years!

This was because he had no way of leaving this vast grassland and forest. There were beasts everywhere. If he killed one, another would appear. These beasts would join forces to hunt him down.

In the rush of time, Chu Feng brought the Little Vermillion Bird to cultivate while killing enemies. His body was constantly improving and evolving rapidly.

When the tenth year was over, Chu Feng killed a hundred thousand feet tall golden beast with a chi sound. His blood flowed like a river and dyed the grasslands red.

He had already become a peak saint. The divine particles he had accumulated were long enough. His physical body was no weaker than a illuminator’s. What he lacked was the last step of understanding the order of the world.

He was just a little bit away from becoming an expert at the illuminator level!

Even Chu Feng himself was shocked and somewhat afraid. Cultivating the minor six paths of time technique was too heaven-defying and made him intensely uneasy.

Every time he killed an enemy, not only did he absorb divine particles and ancestral material, but he also absorbed a part of the order fragments. Otherwise, how could it be possible to touch the threshold of the illuminator level? !

No one could make such great progress in ten years!

It could only be said that the minor six paths of time technique was a shortcut. It could be said to be incomparably heaven-defying.

“Everything comes at a price. I’ve cultivated so quickly, so I don’t know how many strange substances I’ve absorbed.”Chu Feng felt a chill in his heart.

However, there was no way out now!

During this period, the Little Vermillion Bird was also evolving. His cultivation was steadily increasing, but he didn’t practice any special techniques.

“I’ve finally killed my way out of this grassland and forest!”After killing the Golden Beast, Chu Feng left the area.
