The Sacred Ruins
chapter-410

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Mount Lu, with its hanging waterfalls, glistened with verdure . Suffused by "immortal mist" and cranes spiraling in the air, this area looked like an immortal residence .

In fact, many years ago, this area was originally a holy land of evolution .

"There are still no signs of activity . " Chu Feng and his party had arrived but were separated by great distances to avoid being detected by others .

In front of the silver pine, Mu Qing was excited and elated . She had finally bid Lin Naoi farewell, stating she needed to inform the Prince of Great Qi and others to prepare themselves . They were to construct the altars that would connect to energy pagodas .

"Oh, that woman has surprisingly recovered?" Chu Feng was seriously gobsmacked as he saw Mu Qing walking through the mountain ranges, her body completely unscathed .

One had to know that, several days ago, he had personally taken action and crippled Mu Qing, yet now her broken limbs had regrown?

Even though the Mastiff King was usually very calm and had heroic attributes, he found it difficult to control himself now . His hair danced about and his eyes turned red—it seemed as if his whole body were about to explode .

How could he forget the extraordinary shame and humiliation from a couple of days ago? This woman had fastened a thin dog chain on him after she suppressed him, and walked him on the streets .

"Don't rush," the old grandmaster of Wudang, Wu Qifeng, said . He placed a hand on the Mastiff King's shoulder, persuading him to calm down his fury .

Chu Feng also consoled the Mastiff King, and said, "I don't know what methods she used to recover, but it doesn't matter . We'll just cut off her arm again when the time comes . Since her resilience is not bad, we'll just have to debilitate her several times .

"That makes sense," The Horse King shook his shiny big bald head, and said, "brother Mastiff, this will let you vent your anger even more . Later on, when we capture her, we'll go chop her up whenever there's nothing to do . "

Some people from the qilin's former lair had appeared, and this group of people was those who had submitted to the Prince of Great Qi . They had wanted to protect him as he crossed over, yet were sent out to patrol the mountain .

Chu Feng frowned after discovering them, and said, "You retreat first . I'll go have a look . "

He had mastered the ultimate breathing technique—his body and soul could become one, merging into the natural world . At the same time, he could also approach a nirvanic state, in which it was difficult for ordinary people to discover him .

With light, graceful steps, Mu Qing walked merrily, as the exciting moment was not far away . These troops from the great Qi dynasty were on the verge of crossing over, and success was within sight .

If they could descend upon the Earth as a whole, they would become one of the most powerful squads . Their lineup far exceeded the troops of many other galaxies and possessed daunting strength .

"Your Majesty!" Mu Qing arrived at the folded space and kneeled as she performed a full ceremonial greeting, thanking Qi Yu for the kindness of saving her life . Afterwards, she told him of the good news .

"That energy pagoda belongs to a five-star dynasty at the very least and it's perhaps even more extraordinary!"

Everyone was moved . The energy pagoda was a testimony to the glory of a dynasty of evolvers, a product of its meticulous care . It would only aggregate when the dynasty was near annihilation .

After that, it would disappear from the world and would calmly wait to blossom with radiance in the future, hoping to rise once again .

Mu Qing notified them that the energy pagoda had no problems whatsoever . It emitted exuberant vitality and helped Lin Naoi purify all kinds of impure energies that had entered into her body .

"An energy pagoda from a five-star evolution dynasty is extremely remarkable . It's capable of shaking the world after aggregating the essence of the glorious orthodoxy . To successfully devour everything belonging to the dynasty in that area, one must obtain acknowledgement from the will of the planet," said Qi Yi with a solemn demeanor .

It was precisely because of this that the energy pagoda within Lin Naoi's body was an invaluable treasure . Since it was previously approved by the will of the Earth, it could naturally bring people from the outer realms into earth .

"Bathe, change, and build the altars," instructed the Prince of Great Qi .

It was not a matter of mere formality, but a very sacred ceremony . Handwritten notes of ancient experts had suggested that energy pagodas involved with five-star evolution dynasties must be treated with the utmost respect .

"The prince has mastered a supreme secret tome in the field of device control . As long as he can touch that energy pagoda, it is not hard to make it change owners," an old man said with a smile .

"We should be cautious . What I have mastered is nothing more than a fragmented tome . " Qi Yi did not dare to be careless .

They constructed the altar in this area by piling up special stones . Their progress was not very fast and, in fact, it could be considered as fairly slow .

This was because one simply couldn't pick up the speed when executing certain rituals, even with the participation of the Prince of Great Qi within .

In the distance, Chu Feng was watching, baffled . This group of people was exceedingly slow, like an old cow pulling a cart . Were they piling up a furnace there?

He estimated it would take until at least tomorrow for those people to pile up all of the rocks and stones from the ground .

At the same time, he keenly noticed a knight passing in and out through the folded spaces, just as Mu Qing could . Apparently, this knight had successfully crashed his way through the barrier of death!

"Regardless of what you do or what crafty plots you may have, when the time comes I will carpet-bomb the place with nuclear warheads and activate the earth's domains . I refuse to believe you can still hold on at that time!" Chu Feng muttered to himself .

Everything was ready to go, and he was just waiting for this crowd to cross over!

However, he was still slightly uneasy, as this group of people was too serious . Even the great Qi prince was devoutly constructing the altar, working together with everyone else .

Chu Feng stood here for a good while, calculating and deducing how he should arrange his killing domain and what was the most effective way to kill this group of people .

"Will I make it if I ask the great demons of Mount Kunlun to follow my commands and hurl magnetic stones at the crucial moment?" He frowned slightly .

This was because the offensive domain he wanted to set up, albeit a simplified version, still required many magnetic stones to be implanted into the ground . If by any chance any of the sections went wrong, the destructive power would be affected .

Soon afterwards, Chu Feng retired from Mount Lu, and went to convene with Mount Kunlun's great demons .

"I reckon there is still one more day before they will attempt to cross over," said Chu Feng . Soon afterwards, they went into hiding together to prevent being discovered .

Chu Feng frowned as he pondered over the offensive domain . It was really a temporary arrangement, and its effectiveness was not great . In addition, even if only one magnetic stone was implanted incorrectly, its power would be seriously affected .

"Is there a way to integrate them? Oh!" Suddenly, Chu Feng remembered some apparatuses and took out four brass pillars from the spatial bottle .

This was the Dragon Locking Pillar, which he had obtained from the Crown Prince Hei Teng of the Southern Sea dragon tribe . It could set up domains such as the Ghostly Labyrinth .

"This is an integrated domain, capable of replacing magnetic crystals, jade, and so on . " Then, Chu Feng's heart trembled as he activated his Fiery Eyes and gazed attentively . Using his hands he constantly touched and explored these four brass pillars .

He already knew the four brass pillars were called the Dragon Locking Pillars .

Chu Feng felt he had previously neglected something—they were not called the Ghostly Labyrinth Pillars but were instead called the Dragon Locking Pillars .

He examined them carefully, with eyes as radiant as lightning, and discovered some clues . In the end, using special domain techniques he activated some symbols, which emerged from within the brass pillars .

"This Dragon Locking Pillar really needs to be restored thoroughly, as it can lock up legendary dragons!" Chu Feng was amazed . Then, his heart grew passionate/heated immediately, and he began to study it comprehensively .

When the evening came, having come to a decision, Chu Feng laid the brass pillars down . Although the true power of the Dragon Locking Pillar could not be brought out, it was more convenient and stronger than his temporary domain setup if he wanted to trap people and ambush them .

The four brass pillars were formed from the integration of certain domains . Now that Chu Feng had studied them, he could form domains more complex than the Ghostly Labyrinth .

In the early morning, the morning sun was shining brightly and surging with golden radiance . It was full of vitality as it leapt out from the surface of the sea .

In accordance, the entire Mount Lu became harmonious and peaceful, overflowing with rising mist and rosy clouds .

Upon the spiritual peak, Lin Naoi was clad in snow-white robes She was outstandingly beautiful as she bathed in the morning sun and watched the ocean with deep serene eyes . "There is no time left," she whispered .

The sun rose, and the entire Mount Lu warmed, the saturation levels of vitality and energy both incredibly high .

At last, Mu Qing arrived . She was the picture of joy as well as excitement as she invited Lin Naoi .

Chu Feng had also set off . This was because the mutant birds encircling the sky had warned him that there was unusual activity within the folded space .

Before he left, he had disallowed anyone to follow him, and warned them repeatedly, "I can go in by myself . In a moment, follow my gestures and accordingly execute the commands outside . "

This had already been discussed earlier . Chu Feng had different gestures, each representing different meanings . It may mean to carpet-bomb with nuclear warheads, or perhaps make it rain with missiles . . . all of which are big terrifying killers!

Of course, there was one last gesture, failure, which denoted a speedy escape .

Within the folded space, the dozens of people from the Great Qi Dynasty were already well prepared . Standing in front of the altar, they were ready to cross over and wanted to enter real Earth .

"The five-star dynasty's energy pagoda will let us crash our way through barriers of death without any concerns . From now on, we will be like fish leaping through the wide seas, and birds flying through the boundless skies . This planet will become our land fortunes . How can those natives compete with us?!"

"Your Majesty is the chosen son of the heavens . Here you are destined to become a saint!"

These people were incredibly excited and some were muttering, awaiting the moment they would cross over .

And then, they saw Mu Qing, as well as that outstanding woman dressed in white . She was surrounded by the halo of morning light and emitting a divine brilliance .

Even those reckless and rebellious knights were slightly entranced . They stared at the exceptional beauty who looked as though she had walked out from a picture scroll, and no longer chatted .

They had a sense of superiority to the creatures on this deteriorating planet . They believed the descendants of those defeated in those glorious days had long since been eliminated . They felt that the bloodlines of earth were already weak, variegated and that their former glory would return no more . They had already been reduced to the lowest demographic group and were despised .

Yet now they were spellbound . They suddenly felt this woman was so incredibly holy and sacred, making them feel inferior all of a sudden .

The great Qi prince had an imposing temperament He moved and walked towards the edge of the folded space, and gazed at Lin Naoi . Even though this was not the first time they met face-to-face, he had never been as excited as he was at this moment .

He spoke to Lin Naoi with a courteous smile . .

Lin Naoi smiled gently—as someone with a proper upbringing, her every word and action was appropriate and natural .

In the distance, Chu Feng frowned . He already had one hand raised and the mutant bird of Kunlun was watching him attentively . The moment he waved his arm, the area would be drowned in a devastating attack .

Chu Feng fell back to a safe distance . His raised hand was stiffening ever so slightly . However, he recalled how Lin Naoi had told him to trust her and that she would never harm him .

At last, astonishing changes took place within the folded space .

An energy pagoda came into view; it's desolate and majestic aura was earth-shattering . It then enlarged and stretched across Mount Lu, with half of it breaking through into the folded space and enveloping the altar .

In the end, it covered everyone from the great Qi dynasty and, resembling a secure passageway, took them across the border!

Mu Qing was keeping watch by the side . At the moment she was squealing joyously, and could not help but want to sing at the top of her voice!

Yang Heng was also thrilled, and whistled right away!

Chu Feng's pupils dilated, and was about to vehemently drop his arm!

However, at this moment, the tower uniformly divided into two from the top of the tower to the base, and silently separated .

"Oh . . . no!"

Some of the knights yelled as their mounts roared in agony . The moment they were exposed to this part of the world, their bodies burst into raging flames .

"Bang!"

One of the mighty knight commanders was the first to explode, turning into ashes amidst the blaze .

"Your majesty, quick, circulate the supreme secret tome of device control!" yelled an elderly man . In the end, he also blew up in a flash and was reduced to ashes .

"Ah . . . "

"No!"

One by one they went up in flames . Some even immediately exploded into pieces like dazzling fireworks .

"Do not!" Some were startled with immense fear .

Lin Naoi, dressed in white, was as elegant and exquisite as a fairy . She extended her arms gracefully, letting the divided energy pagoda float and once again become whole .
