Chapter 501: Entering the Ancient Ruins
🕑 Added 2024-12-09 16:38:45 +0000 UTCThe War God's arms had been severed, and at this moment, there was only a faint trace of life remaining in his body.
“Cough... cough…”
As he looked up at Lin San descending from the sky, he attempted to speak but was overtaken by a fit of coughing, spitting out blood as he did so.
Lin San transferred some of his energy into the War God's body, but the injuries were too severe, and Lin San wasn’t skilled in healing. There was nothing more he could do to save him.
“Do you know where the Demon Gods went?” Lin San asked.
“Cav... cave... to the east…”
“The ancient ruins…”
He forced out his words with difficulty, his voice weak, but Lin San’s energy had temporarily given him a second wind.
“You must... stop them…”
With those final words, his body shuddered and went limp, no longer showing any signs of life.
Since the War God hadn’t condensed his primordial spirit, this was his true death.
Seeing this, Lin San sighed softly. He glanced toward the east, narrowing his eyes.
The east.
“So, it's the ruins near Sandy Sea City,” he muttered.
At that very moment, a large number of Demon Gods had already gathered at the ruins.
Leading them was a towering Demon God, with two large, upward-curving tusks jutting from his mouth. His body was brimming with immense power.
Staring ahead, he could see a massive stone gate. The gate was etched with unique runes, the kind used by ancient Martial Gods.
The Demon God King stepped forward and produced a large square jade stone.
This was the key to opening the gate—acquired after killing the Martial God King of Sandy Sea City!
“It’s said that only Sandy Sea City has the key to open this place. Inside, there’s supposedly some ancient treasure left behind…”
The Demon God King chuckled. He then placed the jade stone into a slot in the center of the gate.
The moment the jade stone settled into place, a blinding golden light burst forth!
All the surrounding Demon Gods stared intently as the radiant light spread across the massive stone wall.
The ancient runes on the wall began to glow brightly.
“Heh, it’s about to open.”
The Demon God King’s lips curled into a smirk as he watched the unfolding scene.
Boom, boom, boom—
The stone gate began to open, groaning loudly as it slowly parted.
As the gate opened wider, a powerful energy surged from within.
“What immense power,” he remarked.
“So, this is the ancient ruins of the humans?”
The Demon God King was visibly astonished by the overwhelming energy coming from the ruins.
“Move in!” he ordered.
As the gate fully opened, the Demon God King bellowed and led the charge inside.
A vast procession of Demon Gods followed him into the ruins.
“Weapons! So many ancient weapons!”
Not long after entering, the Demon Gods discovered a large array of powerful weapons and armor!
Though these weapons had been crafted in ancient times, they were astonishingly well-preserved.
The ruins also contained many skeletal remains, likely those of ancient Martial Gods, still adorned with finely crafted armor.
The Demon Gods wasted no time stripping the ancient remains of their weapons and armor.
“I’ve found it.”
The Demon God King continued deeper into the ruins until he stood before a colossal statue of a Martial God.
“This is the place.”
The Demon God King narrowed his eyes as he gazed up at the statue.
This was no ordinary statue. It was the body of a God King, preserved after death.
Legend had it that this God King’s power had neared the level of a Divine Emperor.
“An immortal body.”
“And it still holds so much power.”
The Demon God King let out a cold laugh as he gazed at the statue.
“I’ll take all of this energy for myself!”
He laughed maniacally as he reached out and touched the statue.
The moment his hand made contact, an enormous amount of energy began to flow from the statue and into the Demon God King.
…
“Is this the place?”
Meanwhile, Lin San had arrived at the ruins.
Staring at the now open stone gate, his expression turned serious.
He could clearly sense an overwhelming energy coming from inside the ruins.
The energy was incredibly dense, and it seemed like a large number of Demon Gods had already entered!
What could be inside these ancient ruins?
Without further hesitation, Lin San activated his spiritual energy and flew into the ruins.
The energy inside was thick and palpable.
As Lin San continued further in, it wasn’t long before he spotted several Demon Gods ahead!
These Demon Gods were in the process of equipping themselves with the ancient weapons and armor from the ruins.
“Who goes there?!”
Though they weren’t particularly strong, they were still Demon Gods. Their instincts warned them of a presence, and they quickly turned to see Lin San approaching.
Lin San narrowed his eyes and let out a cold laugh as he saw the gathering of Demon Gods.
Gripping Ye Fan's sword, he slashed through the air.
[Ten Thousand Swords Void Slash]!
A terrifying wave of sword energy erupted forth!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The air was filled with the sharp sound of the sword energy slicing through it.
The Demon Gods didn’t have time to react before their bodies were torn apart by the terrifying sword energy.
Blood splattered everywhere.
“There’s a Martial God here!!!”
In the distance, some of the other Demon Gods finally realized what was happening and began shouting in alarm.
Crackle, crackle—
At that moment, an immense surge of lightning energy burst forth.
It surged toward the remaining Demon Gods at breakneck speed!
Before they could even react, the powerful lightning struck their bodies, charring them to a crisp.
Their bodies, now reduced to burnt husks, began falling lifelessly from the sky.
“Kill!!!”
By now, the rest of the Demon Gods had realized what was happening and prepared for battle.
