The Sacred Ruins
chapter-671

The cosmos was vast, and life was minuscule. The latter was as negligible as a speck of dust compared to a planet, not to mention a galaxy or the universe.

Even the number one expert throughout time wasn't able to explore the entire universe. There would always be some forgotten regions that were too remote or isolated.

Sometimes, the cosmos wasn't that big because, wherever the interstellar network covered, news would travel to other galaxies like wildfire and appear on other vital stars.

The planets occupied by the Deity Race, the Xilin clan, and the Netherworld Race lit up like fireworks in the darkness of the sky, breaking the solemn silence and piercing through the firmaments!

News traveled to every corner of the ocean of stars. The evolvers of every vital star were dumbfounded.

The world was shaken!

The effects were too significant—it swept through the cosmos and stirred up every region. Dozens of planets had exploded. What level of madness was this?

The evolvers of the Deity Race and Xilin clan were shocked. Some felt chilled from head to toe as they realized that even powers as strong as theirs could be attacked.

Others still dared attack them despite the deterrent of heaven illuminator level experts.

In the past, the elders would usually sense such an attack and chase down the culprit. They would then slaughter his entire race to intimidate the starry skies.

But today, that person had escaped!

The big shots of all three races had exited isolation and deduced the situation in silence. However, none of them were able to produce any results.

This wasn't a good thing for the races looking to colonize the cosmos. The effects would be unimaginable if powerful individual experts from other galaxies were encouraged to imitate this.

It wasn't just the Deity Race; the other nine out of the Ten Greats were also apprehensive. They each made secret preparations and bolstered their defenses.

It could be said that the effects of this incident were too widespread. The Origin Beast Platform was aboil, and there were heated debates taking place across the starry skies.

In the end, the Deity Race, the Netherworld Race, and the Xilin clan exerted their influence to suppress the issue.

Even people from the top-ten had appeared together with the eleventh-ranked Netherworld Race. Who would dare offend them?

In the end, the effects were mostly curbed. At the very least, most channels had downplayed the incident in their news and many even revoked their reports.

At first, the issues brought up by certain reports were quite sharp. They reported things from a different angle, talking about how it was worth reflecting why the three races were attacked. Naturally, none of these articles were left behind.

However, private discussions never ceased. Everyone knew that the Deity Race, the Xilin clan, and the Netherworld Race had lost all prestige. Dozens of their planets had been destroyed by someone, all blown up like ignited firecrackers. Their losses were immense, to say the least.

Only at this point did the people from the Deity Race, the Xilin clan, and the Netherworld Race reflect on their actions. Their saints had been waiting to ambush and kill Uncle Ming, thinking that he would attack the provokers, You Ruohai and Luoming. In the end, they found that Uncle Ming was much bolder than they had imagined.

They noticed that Uncle Ming simply didn't place the two younger generation experts in his eyes at all. He ignored these so-called experts and seedlings who would become saints in the future and simply went on to light up the firecrackers. The explosions caused everyone to feel a chill from head to toe.

Several days later, the saints of the three races split up. They were already at the end of their wits. They had made ample preparations, yet the other party had still managed to step on their faces. This outcome caused them to feel greatly stifled and almost cough up blood.

Soon, Luo Ming and You Ruohai were free with no more saints protecting them. This made them feel quite relieved.

The two were feeling quite tense during these days. One spread word that he was making combat boots out of the Fire Bear Saint's hide, while the other announced that he would buy the Black Tiger Bone to grind and eat every day, which would supposedly strengthen his bones and muscle.

Such an enmity was simply too intense. This made them restless and afraid that the remnant evils would come knocking on their doors to assassinate them.

Right now, they could return to their races and no longer needed to roam the outside world. There was no more need for them to act as bright targets in the night, and this came as a great relief to them.

In truth, everyone had misjudged the situation!

The saints of the Deity Race, the Netherworld Race, and the Xilin clan felt that Uncle Ming was bold and imposing. He had set off the firecrackers but was also too lazy to pay attention to the bunch of younger generation members who were out for a stroll.

Chu Feng was ready to take action after Uncle Ming finished setting off the explosions. He needed to settle the score with Luo Ming and You Luohai. Chu Feng picked them because these two people were too unbridled and had humiliated his home planet.

The cosmos was vast. There was bound to be a special area or two that couldn't be understood by normal human logic.

The Chaotic Divine Sea was a sea floating in the cosmos. Its waters were a deep blue, akin to the polar lights in the darkness of the night. It would occasionally surge with beams of light which illuminated the dark skies.

No one could say how it was formed. This sea was larger than most planets and located within the area under the Deity Race's rule.

Moreover, it was a region where the Deity Race was powerful. They had long since expanded to this area, and they considered it their internal sea.

It could be said that this was their backyard, a place that was absolutely safe. Outside powers wouldn't dare come here or even approach.

"Several days after the cosmic fireworks, things began to settle down under the suppression of the major races. Luo Ming finally relaxed and came to the Chaotic Divine Sea for a break. At the same time, he was here to take part in a private gathering of geniuses."

These people were all races with close connections to the Deity Race. They would hold a gathering here every year for experts at the transformation realm who had hopes of reaching the golden arhat realm.

This had become a tradition throughout the years. These friendly races would host this event in turn, and it was the Deity Race's turn this year.

The location was to be the Chaotic Divine Sea. It was top-secret information that wasn't announced in advance.

However, even under such circumstances, a ship was approaching silently—an uninvited guest had arrived.

Chu Feng's group was entering the Chaotic Divine Sea!

At this point, Chu Feng had already noticed that Uncle Ming's information network was very deep and that he might even have spies inside Deity Race. Otherwise, there was no way for him to find this place so quickly.

"Even though it's a ghost sea, I must admit that this sea is really beautiful!" Lady Xi praised.

In front of them, the Chaotic Divine Sea stretched across the universe, lustrous and enchanting. It appeared somewhat unreal because the entire star system was devoid of planets with only an expansive ocean.

"Newton's coffin is about to burst open! This is so unscientific!" Chu Feng mumbled.

In truth, what among the things he had experienced was scientific? He was merely making an emotional remark because he felt that the scene was unbelievable.

The blue sea was boundless. Not to mention a planet, there wasn't even a gem or speck of dust—there was only the lustrous waters of the sea.

"You think that this sea is calm, peaceful, and even enchanting, but it was extremely dangerous back in the year. Do you know why it's called Chaotic Divine Sea?" Uncle Ming sighed. "It's because the sudden appearance of this sea sent the Deity Race into chaos. One of their ancestors fell here tens of thousands of years ago, shaking the heaven and earth."

"So terrifying?" Chu Feng was astonished. The Deity Race's ancestor was definitely a heaven illuminator ranked toward the front in the universe.

"In true, it's even more terrifying than you think. Reportedly, all the heaven illuminators of the Deity Race fell during that era. They had only one left, yet they announced that they had lost only one because they didn't dare publicize the truth. They were ranked within the top six at first but were unable to recover from the setback and fell down to the tenth, never to rise again."

Uncle Ming's words surprised Xi and caused her to stare fixedly at the sea.

"Rumors had it that the water poured out from the broken cosmos and brought about a disastrous outcome." Unfortunately, Uncle Ming didn't know the details. These secrets had been locked within the distant past.

They entered the Chaotic Divine Sea and saw a number of scattered islands in the waters. Finally, they understood why there were no planets here.

That was because they were all in the sea!

The islands in the blue sea were all planets. Some broken planets parts were floating on the sea, while other planets were completely submerged in the water. One could only see their outline.

Additionally, there were numerous giant warship wrecks in the sea along with the occasional skeleton. All of these pointed toward the cruelty back in the year.

Even heaven illuminator level characters had died here, and it wasn't just one. But the Deity Race had finally managed to stabilize this place and make it their inner sea.

Scarlet Mist Island was called Scarlet Mist Planet back in the year. It was once a beautiful vital star, but it sank into the Chaotic Divine Sea during the battle 500,000 years ago and became Scarlet Mist Island.

This time, the Deity Race people were hosting people from the other races here. One had to admit that the scenery here was superb. The mountains were majestic and beautiful with terrifying cliffs and divine waterfalls. The air was filled with scarlet mists and radiant lights.

A group of heroes was gathered on a pure land full of verdant grass. All of them were powerful and close to the golden arhat level. They were bound to undergo a transformation after cultivating for a period of time.

A beautiful lady was playing the zither, and the music merged with the sounds of the flowing creek in the pine forest. Everything was inexplicably serene and calming.

Born with the beauty of the flower and moon, her looks were extraordinary.

"Peony Fairy's zither arts are becoming even more exquisite. Even the fish in the creek are gathering around to listen to the melody. What skill!" Someone sighed.

"Most importantly, the Peony Fairy has been cultivating for less than fifty years, but she's already at the late stages of the transformation realm and soon to reach the golden arhat stage. This is a true talent!" someone else said emotionally.

Everyone chimed in, "Indeed, there are very few golden arhat cultivators throughout the starry skies. How many people can take this step early? The Peony Fairy has hope for this."

That was the truth. The cloudeater and transformation realms would take a cultivator a long time to accumulate. They would need a long time to temper themselves to ensure their future transformation into the golden body realm!

Otherwise, how could one remain invincible after charging into the golden arhat realm without sufficient accumulations? They would be torn to pieces without sufficient foundations!

Uncle Ming didn't make Chu Feng rush into the cloudeater realm because he wanted the latter to be sufficiently prepared. He wanted Chu Feng to devour a secret treasure on one of the Xi clan's secret realms. That would make his foundations incomparably majestic.

The Peony Goddess was famed throughout the starry skies for her beauty. Some people ranked her within the top 100 most beautiful ladies in the universe. Moreover, her cultivation speed was truly fast.

At this time, she said with a laugh, "Everyone is praising me too much. How can anyone here compare to Brother Luo in terms of talents and cultivation speed?"

At this point, a man clad in blue treasured robes raised his glass at the Peony Goddess and finished it in one go.

That was Luo Min. The transformation realm cultivator of the Deity Race. As one of the most outstanding characters of their lineage, he was a well-groomed seedling.

He was only in his forties but had already reached the transformation realm. It was indeed an outstanding feat.

"Brother Luo is a heaven-bestowed talent and a successor of the Deity Race. All of us can only look up to him.

"Indeed. Brother Luo will surely reach the saint realm one day, so don't forget us at that time."

Everyone chimed in with praise and raised their glasses.

"Dao brothers, don't be too polite, we're all friends here. Your words make me blush in shame, no one can tell the future," Luo Ming replied with a smile.

The scenery nearby was beautiful with lush green grasses, distant pine forests, and majestic mountains.

"I heard Brother Luo's grand announcement a while ago. It was truly majestic." Someone brought up the inappropriate topic of Luo Ming shaming the saint of the earth.

Without Uncle Ming's firecracker incident, Luo Ming's challenge might have drawn a fair bit of attention.

But the end result was that the Deity Race had taken a huge loss. Now that someone was bringing up old matters, this caused Luo Ming to feel stifled.

The man snorted coldly. "It's just a couple of evil remnants from earth. Our race can guess who they are. I've said this before that I would win the Flaming Bear Saint's skin at the Black Blood Arena's auction. At that time, I'll be able to make it into my shoes and step on them every day!"

Luo Ming's attitude was unyielding.

Suddenly, everything became silent and all eyes fell on the distance.

Luo Ming also looked up and saw a person walking toward them with a blue spear in hand.

"Who are you? Why have you come to Scarlet Mist Island without an invitation?" Luo Ming's eyes were sharp. He knew that all those who should've come were already here.

"Why? It's to kill you of course!" Chu Feng arrived. His light steps brought with them a powerful sense of pressure!
