The Sacred Ruins
chapter-429

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Chu Feng would usually feel pity for the old and weak who had no one to rely on, let alone the scene playing out before him . Those cold-blooded armored knights, in his eyes, were even crueler than wild beasts . It truly makes one furious .

They weren't even willing to let go of infants still in their swaddling clothes and had to fling them into the air amidst splashes of blood . Even that old lady with turbid eyes and had already lost both legs had to be finished off .

Chu Feng's heart was filled with an indescribable emotion . It was like a mass of anger which made his spirit tremble . He wanted to wipe out this group of cruel enemies and evil foes!

"Endless threads . "

Although Chu Feng was furious, he didn't lose his calm . His eyes were suffused with a clear spiritual glow as he shot out magnetic stones with great focus and laid down an attack domain . He sensed the extremely mysterious "domain qi" .

They were like strand after strand of glowing threads connecting the several magnetic stones . They appeared rather thin and harmless, but now they possessed astonishing destructive powers .

"Haha . . . where do you think you're going? We'll massacre everyone today and leave no one alive!"

A knight clad in heavy bronze armor laughed loudly while revealing his snow white teeth . Wielding a dazzling white sword and mounted on a scaled beast, he leapt out and hacked towards a group of children .

However, something frightening happened at the exact moment this man and mount leapt up . A fine glowing thread sharper and even sturdier than a blade's edge cut through the beast's neck and severed the knight at the waist .

"Plop!"

The scale-covered beast became a headless mount, while that knight was split into upper and lower halves . This was equal to being chopped in half . The knight let out a mournful wail and fell to the ground .

Behind him, there were three more knights still laughing maliciously . They brandished their vicious sharp weapons as they leaped through the air and attacked with great cruelty .

But at this very moment, they encountered a similar fate—one of them had his head severed and sent rolling on the ground . A crisp clang resounded as his weapon fell to the floor .

Another was cut obliquely along with his mount . The sinister smile on his face was frozen as he collapsed into a pool of blood .

…

Even Chu Feng himself was shocked . So it turned out domains could be operated in such a way . This so-called domain qi couldn't be seen by normal people when, in fact, it truly did exist . It appeared so fine, thin, and flexible, yet it was so tenacious and incomparably sharp!

Domain qi was the qi of domains, a manifestation of magnetic stone resonance . It resonated with the runes carved within the magnetic stones and poured out a special type of powerful energy .

This domain qi was as fine as thread, flexible and endless . But it could nurture one's body, weapons, and it was even more terrifying when deployed as an offensive domain!

In the system of domains, it was a rarity for even researchers with high attainments to be able to see the domain qi!

"What situation is this?"

In the distance, a tall knight as big as a small mountain was talking in a bizarre language . However, Chu Feng was able to understand his meaning .

There were people from different races and star systems here . All of them communicated with spiritual waves and sensed each other's thoughts .

"A mature traitor?" The mountain-sized knight revealed a furious expression . "Did nobody see him? Who let this mature man off? How come such a traitor hasn't been killed?!"

He was obviously addressing Chu Feng and, at the same time, blaming the other knights .

Chu Feng didn't know whether he should be angry or if he should laugh after hearing this . These cold-blooded butchers and executioners were calling his forebears traitors . To them, a male traitor above 18 years old was someone who must absolutely not be left behind and should've been killed sooner .

How cruel was this? What tyranny and cold-bloodedness! The current situation was dire—those women, children, and elders were dismayed .

Rumble!

A small group of ten charged over . All of them were wearing bronze armors and crying out in an odd language . They had excited smiles on their faces and ruthlessness in their eyes as they charged towards Chu Feng while revealing their cold snow-white teeth .

Chu Feng's forehead lit up along with a large patch of magnetic stones on the ground . All of them were immediately illuminated by the spiritual light from his forehead and engraved with runic symbols, causing them to resonate .

Later on, the entire array of magnetic stones flew out . The countless strands of fine thread appeared once again and began to glow lustrously . They were densely packed and even greater in number than the previous time .

The glowing threads connected with each other like a resplendent spiderweb and enveloped the incoming men . This was completely different from the sparse domain qi just now .

Pfft!

Following which, the first knight mounted on an odd beast was covered up and his body was transformed into tiny pieces of meat as if he was cut apart with a blade . Later on, the other roaring cavalry who were charging over with excited expressions also followed in his footsteps .

Soon, the area started reeking of blood . After the glowing net fell, only the mesh holes were safe . The other areas were as if a sharp blade had slashed past, thus causing both men and mounts to be diced into tiny pieces!

"Ah…"

Someone cried out before his death . They were extremely vicious, but they felt fear as they died and sounded extremely mournful .

This scene shocked all the women and children who were fleeing . Unexpectedly, there was someone who had killed those executioners .

"A bug with fangs has actually snuck into this group of elderly handicaps . You dare harm my subordinates?! Seize him!"

That knight who looked like a small mountain issued the order once again .

He was a giant, and with his dark purple skin color, he looked extremely fierce . At the same time that he gave the order, he also charged over personally with a long halberd in hand .

Under him was a big ferocious mammoth, hundreds of meters in height . Its two long tusks were like two broadswords and even the mountains would shake when it ran .

There were many puddles of blood nearby, all of them belonging to the forebears who had been trampled to death by this ferocious mammoth . It was extremely tragic .

Chu Feng became even calmer and his mind clearer despite the surging killing intent in his chest . He chose the most logical domain to kill the enemy .

The group of charging knights were all veterans and began to attack from far away . Energy was amplified and shot out by their weapons as they attempted to slash at Chu Feng from a long distance .

But this time, Chu Feng had laid down a defensive domain in front of him . Like a mire, the glowing threads piled up densely together and absorbed the incoming energy to reinforce itself .

Defensive Domain: Mire was deployed perfectly .

When the group of knights charged over, it had already absorbed enough energy . Those cavalrymen couldn't see the domain qi and thus charged over like a swarm of bees .

As expected, they seemed to have fallen into a mire—the more they struggled, the more they sank .

In the end, the group wailed loudly as their vitality was drained clean . They had been buried alive .

"Kill!"

That dark purple giant on the mammoth roared as he arrived personally .

He was terrifyingly huge . The halberd in his hand thrust out and erupted with astonishing beams of light which fired towards Chu Feng through the air . With a boom, the defensive domain was pierced through and exploded .

Chu Feng shifted sideways . The energy beam flew past him and blasted a rocky mountain behind him into pieces .

The mammoth howled and erupted with vicious intent as it leapt up . It was actually not clumsy at all and traversed the great mountain as if it were flying . This sight was shocking .

Its speed was very fast . When it landed with a boon, several pitiful forebears who had lost their legs in the previous battle couldn't evade in time and were crushed into meat paste . They didn't even have the chance to groan .

"You animal!"

Chu Feng was furious . He had guessed that these weren't real people and that it was a type of training ground reenacting the situation from back then . Even so, he felt greatly stifled at heart .

The next moment, Chu Feng disappeared . This giant knight was too powerful . Even his mammoth mount was too vicious—ordinary evolvers had no way to deal with him .

Chu Feng had laid down Defensive Domain: Ghostly Mist .

In the area, the magnetic fields were sent into chaos and began to emit killing intent . The bewildering mist made people lose their way and get trapped within . This was the upgraded version of the ghostly labyrinth .

As expectedly, the giant knight could no longer find Chu Feng after entering .

Chu Feng tried several times but normal attacks domains just couldn't kill the giant knight . He possessed powerful defense and vast amounts of energy in his body, capable of abolishing all kinds of killing intent and defeating the domain qi .

This was a true expert .

But if one type of attack domain couldn't do it, he could use two . . . If two didn't cut it, he only needed to use three… He upgraded numerous times and laid down domains on top of each other continuously .

"Traitor, come out and die! Your race should be annihilated by now . Those heaven illuminators have been beaten to a pulp and have become food for the big-shots' mounts . What sagemaster? He's also about to die . A major character has personally descended to kill him . None of you will defy the heavens again . All remaining traitors will die!"

The giant knight's voice was calm but very cold .

He was retreating in hopes of leaving the Ghostly Mist, but couldn't extricate himself for the time being .

Rumble!

In the end, Chu Feng overlaid four types of attack domains, pinned him down, and then attacked madly .

Bang!

The giant's right shoulder exploded and his arm fell down . Amidst furious roars, he switched his halberd over to the other hand and swept about in all directions .

The next moment, a beam of light shot through the mammoth's forehead and blasted its head apart . Its gigantic body also fell down with the giant in tow .

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft…

Bloody mists exploded continuously, seriously injuring the giant . His dark purple skin was torn apart by the four kinds of different domain qi—his body had been cut apart .

The giant roared and struggled as his neck came under attack, but to no avail . A gigantic head soon came rolling down .

It was a massacre . Chu Feng had utilized domains to kill his way through!

In the end, the 100-men unit was completely wiped out . That dark purple-skinned giant was the leader .

Chu Feng was spiritually drained and began to gasp for air . He had been continuously using his spiritual power to carve runes and this exhausted him greatly .

He leaned against a giant rock and breathed deeply . A mass of white mist enshrouded him as he utilized the special breathing technique to recover his stamina and spirit .

A group of children nearby were anxious . They were worried about him and stood nearby to watch over him . There were also the old and weak who were observing him in silence with thankful expressions .

In the end, Chu Feng recovered .

He knew he had passed the second stage of the inheritance, but this wasn't the end for him . He had to push forward to kill more enemies .

At last, he killed ten hundred-men units in succession and slaughtered ten unit leaders similar to the purple giant . All types of attack and defensive domains were utilized to his heart's content .

During this time, he also encountered lethal peril and almost died on a number of occasions after being surrounded by the cavalry .

After wiping out over a thousand enemies in total, there were no longer any evil faces in this land . The laughter of the pursuers was no longer heard as the entire group of cavalry had been wiped out .

Chu Feng lay on the ground, almost unable to move and some bloody wounds on his body were see-through from front to back .

He had walked through countless perils and almost died here .

But he had ultimately succeeded in wiping out all of those executioners .

He respired according to the special breathing technique and enshrouded himself with white mist . Additionally, he possessed astonishing restorative abilities after severing the shackle in his heart .

Even so, it took a lot of time before his wounds began to heal and he struggled back from the verge of death .

"Thank you!"

Those women and children transformed into a shower of radiant specs and surged up in large patches to eventually disappear into the starry skies . Their faces before disappearing were full of gratitude .

"Big brother, see you . Thank you!" Those children waved at him with large clear eyes and also transformed into a shower of light before disappearing into the starry skies .

"See you!" Chu Feng clambered up and waved at them . His heart ached a little bit because he knew this "see you" would never be realized .

Only at this time did the tattered dark red energy pagoda emerge . Its tone was no longer cold as it said, "Everything learned has been applied . An over fulfilling completion . "

This was its evaluation . It was another "over fulfillment" . It seemed he had far surpassed the normal examination standards .

At the same time, it was swaying as if it were . . . giving the disappearing specks of light its regards . It seemed incomparably sad .

Chu Feng didn't say anything and only gazed at the starry sky .

A long time afterwards, the dark red energy pagoda said, "Killing ten enemies is considered a pass . "

Only at this time did Chu Feng realize just how much he had over-fulfilled . But there wasn't any joy in his heart as he let out a sigh while gazing at the starry sky .

"This kind of over fulfilling completion is too dangerous . You shouldn't do it . During this period, you came close to dying eight times . " The damaged energy pagoda was no longer cold and heartless . It spoke some extra words to Chu Feng and seemed worried about his safety .

"Why aren't these corpses disappearing?" asked Chu Feng .

That was because there was still a lot of blood on the ground as well as the corpses of those cavalry .

"They were originally here so how can they disappear?" the dark red energy pagoda replied .

"What? So what I experienced just now was real" Chu Feng shook as he turned back to look at the pagoda .

"Only the corpses of the cavalrymen are real . Those kids, women, and children have dispersed throughout the vicissitudes . Perhaps some of them did get away," the energy pagoda replied .

It told Chu Feng that the true calvary were incomparably powerful and could move unhindered through the starry skies . The ones were only puppets .

Chu Feng was silent . He naturally knew this because he had seen these people in the imagery on the starry sky . They were existences who could step on the star passages and journey through wormholes .

"If you had died here just now, you would've truly died and won't come back to life . Additionally, you would've died in the hands of these executioners . "

Later on, the third stage was activated .

This time, there were no dangers . He only found himself facing numerous books . They were simple, unadorned, and suffused with the aura of vicissitudes .

Some of them would shatter at the slightest touch . One had to be extremely careful .

These ancient volumes were exceptionally valuable . Contained within them were things Chu Feng had always longed for . All of them were domain patterns . He needed to commit them to memory without the slightest bit of error .

This process was extremely arduous for most people, but for Chu Feng, it was a completely new experience . It seemed to him like a new wondrous world from which he was allowed to absorb and derive continuously .

What he couldn't understand, he would study them by heart because he simply couldn't let so many valuable classics just pass by .

Some secret volumes only described the structure of a single domain . They were profound and difficult .

Chu Feng felt that several months or even a couple of years had passed by when he finally completed memorizing all of them . He was afraid of missing out on this opportunity and thus gave it his all to stuff it into his brain .

"You finished in even a shorter time than was expected . All is done! It's an over fulfilling accomplishment!"

The dark red energy tower appeared and told him thus .

Afterwards, it added once more, "Everything has ended . Everything has been accomplished and over-fulfilled!"
