The Sacred Ruins
chapter-704

How did things end up this way? The troops amounting to almost ten thousand on the island were trapped. Everyone was dumbfounded. After which, they felt a chill running from their head to toe. These allied troops were actually going to face a huge defeat!

Demon Chu and the great demons of Kunlun were about to destroy the allied troops of about ten thousand people. Who would believe them if word of this got out?

The people on Penglai Island were terrified. This was the first time they felt regretful. Their opponent on Earth, the Chu Feng that they had always wanted to kill, had actually grown to such a level?

From their point of view, this was practically covering the sky with one hand. He was going to annihilate everyone with his power alone.

“Attack and get out of there! I don’t believe he can trap us all!” someone shouted and called to everyone to not panic, but rather attack together and flee while supporting each other.

“Attack!”

Their shouts to attack resounded through this zone, shaking the sky. For a moment, everyone was using their secret treasures and activating their strongest energy as they attacked this domain in hopes of escaping.

However, the ground was as firm as divine gold. Various divine runes appeared, and they couldn’t hit them at all.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky. Light beams took form and illuminated the firmament. The most impetuous energy poured down in torrents, bearing destructive aura with it.

Evidently, the domain on the ground was very terrifying as it absorbed part of the lightning energy again.

“Ah, it hurts!”

The shout didn’t come from the ground, but rather the sky. Great Demon Chu was letting out a long howl with his disheveled hair as he drowned in lightning.

In that blink of an eye, he had suffered the attack of over a hundred bolts of lightning. They struck him to the point where his whole body emitted green smoke. His body violently shook in mid-air and blood splattered everywhere.

“How perverted!” Chu Feng cursed. This lightning tribulation was too fearsome and was even more astonishing than what he had read in books.

“This is only the start, yet he’s already being attacked by over a hundred bolts of lightning. Could it be that he really wants to overtake Yaoyao from ancient Earth? According to reports, Princess Yao’s lightning tribulation in those days was incomparably frightening!” muttered an old man at the golden body realm.

The old woman in the same realm beside him heard this and immediately got angry. “You still have the spare time to worry about how powerful or weak he is. We might all die here, so aren’t you going to join hands and split this domain apart!?”

“Let’s let them throw their lives away and break this domain with their blood,” muttered the old man as he looked at the evolvers from every race. They were densely packed with each other, glowing as they made a stand to fight.

Boom!

A few people exploded. The runes ascending from the ground was too astonishing. Touching it a little would immediately rip the bodies and crush the bones of a few cavalry and their mounts.

“No! I don’t want to die! I want to live!”

“Chu Feng, you’re so vicious! Let me leave!”

“Attack! Our only hope of survival is to split this domain apart!”

A riot broke out completely on the island. About a thousand people died in such a brief moment after the domain activated. This was practically killing them in a crushing manner all the way!

Every single person who attacked the domain was inflicted with heavy losses. The runes ascending from the ground were extremely magnificent and intense. There were all sorts of runes, some resembled sawtooth whereas others resembled divine chains. They blossomed just like that and entangled themselves around the outstanding heroes, killing them in the process.

Someone once said that the beams that took the initiative would rot first. The attackers who took the initiative toppled over like wheat being cut and a large pool of blood flowed.

Blood-curdling screeches rang out again and again. The evolvers who came from the starry sky continuously collapsed and corpses covered the land. Naturally, many skeletons of the dead didn’t exist as they immediately exploded.

“Charge upward!”

Someone leaped up into the air, itching to flee immediately, but only a few people could fly outside Mount Eternal. Most people were suppressed and they couldn’t leave the ground.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Unfortunately, the evolvers who charged up to the sky met an even more tragic end. They exploded into pieces mid-air like watermelons that had been smashed by a boulder. Even though the evolvers from various races were used to seeing life and death, that kind of scene where flesh splattered everywhere made their scalps numb and they wanted to puke.

The domain runes were even more concentrated in the air!

“Chu Feng, you have such a ruthless heart!” someone shouted.

In the short span of a few tens of breath, the person who charged up into the air looked like he was opening a dye shop. Various colors blossomed; they were from the blood, bones, and organs in the human body.

Chu Feng was screaming in pain, too. He grimaced as the lightning drowned him and circled around him. His flesh was lacerating, and a burnt smell wafted from him.

“This isn’t rational!” he howled.

Even at this kind of moment, the evolvers from every race wanted to curse at him. A monster like you living on Earth isn’t rational, it’s heresy!

“Who are you to say that? My lightning tribulation is tens of times worse than other people. There are so many bolts of lightning and they are so concentrated, too. I, your little grandfather, is staking it all! I definitely won’t die here!”

He was aware that there was a possibility that everyone on the island was going to be completely annihilated this time, including him. This was only the beginning, yet the lightning tribulation was already so overbearing. As time went on, he would most likely be struck until he turned to ash.

Fortunately, big black yak and the rest maneuvered the large, rotting ship into Mount Eternal with Chu Feng giving them directions in the dark. They were no longer within the domain.

Every saint child was dumbstruck on the ground. When they raised their heads and saw Chu Feng’s sky tribulation getting bigger, their scalps exploded. If they were in his shoes, they would have been struck to death.

“Strike him to death! After this demon dies, this domain might break apart!”

“Who are you talking about?” Even if Chu Feng was struck by lightning, one could hear that his roars had an elated feel to them too. He widened his eyes and looked down.

After which, he used his domain amidst the lightning and drew on mysterious magnetic qi. A certain area on the ground immediately boiled, and the magnetic ground force turned into runes before charging out.

That evolver let out a blood-curdling screech and his clansman jointly howled along with him. The domain runes encircled them and they sunk into the flames all at once.

Heavenly Fire Thunder. With a domain name like that, one could see its might.

“Chu Feng, have mercy on us. We are native evolvers like you and are of the same veins and roots. This is a misunderstanding! Release us!”

At this moment, someone yelled out anxiously and in fright, waving their hands at the sky in an incomparably urgent manner.

Chu Feng gazed at them and recognized a few people. After which, his eyes shone with murderous intent. So, they were the people of Penglai. This group of people was shameless to a certain degree.

“People of Penglai, you guys still have the face to say we’re of the same veins and roots. All of you should go to hell!”

“Chu Feng, you can’t be like this. We had a few misunderstandings in the past, but from now on, we will fully support you and follow you to battle. We’ll go on a punitive expedition against the troops from the outer realms!”

The people of Penglai were anxious. If things continued this way, their bodies and souls would be completely annihilated. No one would survive because flames were soaring from the ground, burning with increasing vigor.

“It is also a kind of realm to behave with such integrity as the stage you people have reached. Releasing you guys is a crime. You guys should perish the humane way!”

The people of Penglai heard Chu Feng’s merciless words and gave up all hope. They were the weakest and couldn’t compare to the evolvers from the outer realms. They couldn’t hold on any longer as they couldn’t a long time ago. When they heard his words, a stream of pained shouts and angry curses rained down on him.

“Chu Feng, a demon like you really should die! You’re destined to be exterminated by heaven for attacking Earth’s native evolvers!”

“You definitely have to die facing heaven’s tribulations and die when five lightning bolts strike your head. You’re better off dead!”

The people of Penglai hurled malicious curses at him from below. But during their last moments and when their deaths were imminent, they had nothing to fear. They were all going mad.

After that, thunder suddenly erupted in this area as Chu Feng directed his focus on them. Flames constructed out of very minute runes steamed.

The people of Penglai let out blood-curdling screeches as the flames drowned them. They turned into torches one after the other, struggling with all their might. Unfortunately, these were energy flames channeled through the domain runes. They were incapable of extinguishing it.

The people of Penglai encountered the baptism of the Heavenly Fire Thunder and were in utter pain. Some people couldn’t stand it anymore so they crouched on the ground and started pleading whereas others rushed to the sky, but collapsed in the end and died even faster.

Soon after, the people of Penglai were completely annihilated. More than two hundred evolvers died a miserable death here all because they were too enthusiastic. They had mustered a large force to follow the evolvers from the outer realms to come here and eliminate Chu Feng. In the end, not a single person who came survived.

“Brother, are you alright!?” The big black yak and the others yelled out from afar. They stood in front of Mount Eternal’s main gates, feeling a little worried.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the region in front. Chu Feng was enduring an extremely terrifying heavenly tribulation whereas the troops down below were screaming and shouting. It was a huge mess and the scent of death surged around.

Amidst the lightning and fire, the island became Asura’s stage.

“I’m alright. Point out which weapons you guys fancy in advance. I’ll try my best to save them and retrieve them later on.”

“Alright. I want the Deity Race’s Deity Murdering Lance. It looks pretty good!”

“The Xilin clan’s Demon Refining Bottle is not too bad. I want to keep it and use it to refine the Xilin Clan later on!”

Evidently, Manchurian Tiger and Old Donkey were people who knew goods when they saw them. They had their eye on a few of the strongest weapons that weren’t inferior to the Green Demonic Bow and Arrow from before.

They were all trump card-ranked weapons these few races prepared: Brass Pagoda, Deity Murdering Lance, Demon Refining Bottle and Black Calabash!

“Alright!” Chu Feng nodded in the lightning. Even if his hair was dishevelled and his whole body was burnt black, his eyes were still glittering. He gazed down and looked down on those people.

“The old folks from Netherworld Race, put my Black Calabash down. Also, the old witch granny from Dameng Pure Land, you better be a little more careful. Don’t ruin my Brass Pagoda!”

When Chu Feng’s voice travelled below, those old, experienced powerhouses wielding those trump cards and who were also the organisers of the allied troops were so angry they were about to collapse. All of them couldn’t restrain their anger.

What were they to do? They had secret treasures in their hands and had such powerful weapons of that level, but they couldn’t even injure Chu Feng at all now and were trapped in the domain.

Boom!

The Heavenly Fire Thunder exploded when it got close to them. Large flames burned the sky, but of course, the scariest of them all were those domain runes. Once they tangled around them, they would take a human’s life.

Someone let out a screech. After Chu Feng focused his attack on him, the old man from the Netherworld Race holding the Black Calabash went mad as his whole body burned in flames. A string of domain runes formed a divine chain and cut through his body, sending him to his miserable death at once.

Whoosh!

A few runes in the shape of sawteeth appeared, packed closely together as they drowned that women from Dameng Pure Land. Even if she used the Brass Pagoda to suppress the attack, it was futile because in the end, she turned into a pile of dust.

Clank!

At the same time, the Deity Murdering Lance fell to the ground, killing that old, experienced powerhouse from the Deity Race.

Flames ascended at various places around the whole domain. Runes shone and they grew increasingly terrifying. Even those who Chu Feng weren’t focusing on could no longer stand his attacks any longer and started howling miserably.

It didn’t take long before more than six thousand people from the troops of almost over ten thousand people died, and now a little less than half of them remained. This was a devastating blow to them. The evolvers from every race were struggling because they wanted to live, but they didn’t have the opportunity to do so now.

“Attack! That damned tiny evil creature!”

“Ah!”

At this moment, two golden arhats were anxious and were incomparably rash. They broke out of the enclosure multiple times but failed in the end. They were struck down to an extremely sorry figure and were injured. Red specks dotted their bodies, and their battle clothes were burnt with the remnants of flames on them.

“Does everyone want to be eliminated here?” They were terrified. When they looked up at Chu Feng who was basked in lightning, they felt as though they were facing an exceptionally great demon.

It wasn’t very calm outside the realm because the old dispatches from each race and a few golden arhats were waiting for news outside Earth.

There were even saints present.

The starry sea wasn’t calm, either. Many people on the Origin Beast Platform had already heard the news that the allied troops from the outer realm were going to land on Mount Eternal today to exterminate that batch of unfriendly evolvers on Earth.

A woman from the spirit race laughed softly. Her position wasn’t low. She thought of her clansman, Myriad Star Physique Xu Chengxian. He would most likely obtain a great fortune on Mount Eternal and become increasingly dazzling henceforth.

“Yes, Earth’s finished. The last batch of seeds will be eliminated after this match is over. This planet’s recovery will only help the younger generation from every race in the outer realms succeed.” A saint nodded.

Mount Eternal was very special because a bizarre mist enveloped it and an indescribable domain masked nature’s mystery. Neither saints outside the realm nor clairvoyants couldn’t look through it.

Therefore, they didn’t know the current situation on the battlefield.
