The Sacred Ruins
chapter-742

The lands of the Deity Race, Spirit Race, Xilin Clan, and Mechanical Race were suffering from ferocious attacks at practically the same time. The outside enemy was launching a large scale invasion, and for a moment, the direct descendants of a few large races were killed in such a horrifying manner that blood-curdling screeches rang out in waves.

It was too sudden. How many years has it been? Who dared to come to their doorsteps and attack them on their own accord? A battle suddenly erupted today; a group of saints were mounting a sneak attack on them and were ruthless in doing so.

Blood light splashed everywhere in the important lands of a few races as a terrifying massacre ensued!

Compared to the battle outside Earth, Uncle Ming and the rest were establishing the second battlefield that had a far-reaching impact. It was destined to be engraved in the minds of every race so that they couldn’t forget it no matter how many years had passed.

This was because this was a coup d’etat. After so many years, a declining land could actually retaliate and attack the top ten!

At this moment in time, the battle outside Earth was coming to an end. Following the death of the Nanming Mythical Fire Sparrow, almost no one was willing to wage a life-and-death battle with the woman here. It really wasn’t worthwhile.

From the very beginning, this woman made it very clear that they forced her to show her hand and were purely courting death.

“Everyone, this old man is taking his leave first!”

Whoosh! A big shot amongst the cosmic pirates ran away and he was nowhere to be seen.

“Everyone, just as the mountains won’t change and rivers continue flowing, we will meet again, so for now, I bid you adieu. I think the meaning of life isn’t here, so I’m going to faraway lands in search of the true essence of evolution!” someone said. Their face wasn’t red nor was their heart pounding; they behaved fairly natural and fled with a flair of culture.

“The starry sky is so resplendent and beautiful, yet we are ceaselessly fighting here. It really ruins such fine scenery. I am going too!” Someone madly fled without glancing back a second time.

Everyone was speechless.

Those watching the live broadcast across the universe were speechless too. So, even powerhouses at the heaven-illumination realm have instances where they were afraid. They were actually fleeing at the speed of light.

Many of the heaven-illuminators who were fleeing themselves were speechless.

“What the f*ck! Coward! Why must we flee!!” silently cursed a powerhouse without end, but in the end, a powerhouse like him fled, too.

He really didn’t dare to stay behind when the others have already fled. If not, the two silver doors would squash him into a bloody pulp and that really would be too dreadful.

Some people were bitter and hateful, resentful that their expectations couldn’t be met because he reckoned if those present joined hands, they could have eliminated her even if she was so powerful.

It couldn’t be helped. Their hearts weren’t united, and all of them didn’t come from the same race so they were guarded against one another. Who would be willing to start a battle with a terrifying woman when they could have avoided it in the first place?

As a result, the people in Earth’s outer space fled in the blink of an eye with one running faster than the one before him. Many people disappeared without a trace almost in a split second.

But what took a few people aback was that this woman was too tyrannical. She actually didn’t stop even when everyone fled, but rather she pursued them.

Even if they were experienced powerhouses who addressed themselves as respectable seniors, they set their ego aside in this case, too, and started competing as to who can flee the fastest. All was good as long as they were faster than the others by a line because it was just bad luck for whoever lagged behind!

Bang!

In the end, the woman smashed out with the silver door in the split second she stopped moving.

A few people were currently penetrating the starry sky in an attempt to cross the universe and completely disappear, but luck just wasn’t on their side in the slightest.

For example, the old ancestor from Sky-Piercer had always been rather low-profiled and wasn’t willing to stand out from the rest after coming to Earth. From the very beginning, he had been observing in the dark and looking for an opportunity.

But he was actually someone’s target. Since he was an assassin and a Darkness hunter as well, he had been living in seclusion before this. Even so, the crazed intent to kill had always existed in the depths of his heart because he hated everything on this planet. That woman could actually perceive such intent through the condensation of her spirit energy.

Clank!

He used the Sky-Piercer’s treasured blood sword to block her attack. In a split second, the divine sword that was completely scarlet like magma split into two. Yaoyao’s grandfather’s large cauldron had smashed off a large chunk of the sword before, and now, another portion of the sword was destroyed. This made his heart bleed, too.

Moreover, things had yet to come to an end. To his horror, he realized that after the silver door smashed into the wormhole, it landed on his body. The old assassin immediately let out a blood-curdling screech.

In the end, the broken crimson sword shone with a glaring light and disappeared with the small chunk of his body, leaving a large sea of blood mist where they once were.

At the same time, the old ancestor from the Netherworld Race was depressedly groaning and angrily roaring, too. His bone dragon mount had been attacked and he had also suffered an attack from another large silver door at this moment in time. It smashed right into him from afar and exploded on the spot. In the end, a ball of blood essence enveloped his spirit, tearing the space in the universe apart as he fled in a sorry state.

The war outside Earth came to an end. The woman returned to Kunlun’s abyss whilst carrying the two large silver doors and disappeared without a trace.

The starry sky was silent for a very long period of time. The outcome of this battle was too shocking. That group of powerhouses had run away with one fleeing faster than the other before him. This scene truly made people speechless.

Naturally, the people knew that they were intentionally avoiding this place because they weren’t willing to fight to the death. They weren’t really fleeing out of terror.

After which, a huge commotion surged in the universe. Every race was fervently discussing whether Earth could still be regarded as a declining land. They definitely couldn’t consciously look down on Earth anymore!

Three heaven-illuminators actually appeared on this ancient planet!

Once three or four individuals of this rank appeared, they were just like the Deity Race and Netherworld Race. Adding the Demon Ancestor’s Cauldron to the mix, the kind of ultimate treasure that could contend with the top ten weapons in the universe, this was just like the emergence of a supreme race making a recovering return!

“The source of life that once ranked eleven in the universe is making a complete return to their original position!”

“They’re practically taking the Deity Race’s place!”

Every race under the starry sky was shocked. Nothing possessed more persuasion than the true results of the battle. There wasn’t a single evolver amongst the races who wasn’t shocked.

In the end, the relevant evaluation divisions of major tycoons like the Black Blood Arena and Wormhole Express Company that were ancient and at the very peak gave Earth a whole new rating once more.

“The most conservative estimate of Earth’s true strength is within the top twenty!”

“Maybe they can rank within the top eighteen!”

This was basically a sharp increase. Two major organizations gave a whole new evaluation and raised Earth’s status.

This was because Earth was still in a period whereby they lacked resources and manpower, and their evolvers were facing a gap in their realms as well. If that wasn’t the case and they had a large batch of golden arhats, quasi-saints, as well as a few ancient saints, they could stand side by side with the top ten!

Their evaluation was relatively strict. They were simultaneously saying that they may be too conservative and if that wasn’t the case, Earth’s ranking would be even higher.

Naturally, the structure in which these two major organizations made their rankings was believable. They gave their viewpoints and said that Yaoyao’s grandfather’s state was not guaranteed, and the mysterious woman was suspected to be nothing more than a wandering traveler and didn’t seem to belong to Earth.

They also considered these uncertainties.

If not, that would really have a severe impact on one’s vision if they solely looked at the most glorious moments of Earth’s high combating calibre. After all, they had even destroyed the Deity Race!

At this moment, the Sagemaster quietly left Earth to provide assistance to Uncle Ming and the rest for fear that something happened to them!

After all, a group of evolvers at the heaven-illumination realm had an escape race just now with sheer lack of integrity. All of them had retreated.

With the Sagemaster silently entering the starry sky, there was immediately an extremely large safeguard because he was proceeding onward while carrying Ancestor Yao’s large cauldron.

In reality, there was something the Sagemaster didn’t think of and it was that that group of powerhouses that fled like a swarm of bees was much more tenacious than he imagined. They weren’t really routing, but rather they were momentarily avoiding the spearhead of that woman who had nothing to do with Earth.

In the end, a considerable proportion of people returned again and stood in the solar system. They stared at Earth and felt really uncontended.

“That woman disappeared in Kunlun, probably to hibernate and go into a deep sleep again. We’ll be fine as long as we don’t provoke her.”

“Ah, it really is hateful! You angered this old man, so I’ll slap this planet and make it crumble in one hit. I’ll draw out the purgatory and swallow all of them!”

“Old friend, stop being impatient. If you really were to let the purgatory come into being, it would be a terrible disaster. A great catastrophe would befall the whole universe! Don’t tell me that you guys never saw the records inscribed on the prehistoric stone tablet that was unearthed! We also had Yang qi in our universe in the past, but a great calamity fell upon us because of the purgatory! Sigh!”

Lights flickered in the eyes of a group of people outside Earth.

“This old man is really angry!” An old man really couldn’t stand it anymore as he reached out with his large hand. He really wanted to slap his hand into Earth!

“Stop! Don’t act recklessly!” A few people immediately dissuaded him immediately.

“Don’t stop me. Let me vent!” huffed the old man. Yet that palm didn’t dare exert force as it pushed down, but rather it pressed down very slowly and with force that was as light as a feather

Everyone was speechless. They could see that he didn’t dare to do so and was only venting.

But someone still advised him against it by saying, “Dao friend, it’s best if you’re a little more cautious and careful. Don’t you really smash down with your palm and stir up a disaster!”

That old man was really somewhat put on the spot. In the end, he was restraining himself so much so that his whole face turned red. “It’s no problem. I know how far to go and when to stop.”

That hand swayed as he spoke, but it didn’t dare to fall any further. The others thought that it was funny the more they watched him, which made him fly into a rage out of embarrassment. “What are you laughing about? Do you really think I wouldn’t dare?”

He hesitated for a long time before finally reaching down. His hand was shrinking as it approached Earth’s interior.

“Be careful, Dao friend!”

“Brother Dao, you really dare to mess about!?”

“I’m not going to hit Kunlun. I’m just looking for a different place to vent as I please!” said the old man moodily.

After searching for a long time, he found a large desert to the west of Tibet on Earth and pressed down with his palm. He thought that there wasn’t some kind of mysterious cave dwelling in such a desolate place so it ought to be the safest.

In reality, he could be considered to be feigning his anger, too. The true circumstances were a little in bad taste. If it was brought up in the future, he could argue for the sake of arguing that other people fled in fright, but he was the only one who dared to give Earth a tight slap!

But when his shrunken palm approached that golden desert, a strange scene unfolded. The ground was filled with blue spider lilies that were so blue that they sparkled and were translucent yet exceptionally beautiful just like a vast ocean.

This really was a huge change that happened in the blink of an eye. Before, it was a huge barren desert that lacked any life forms. Yet spider lilies immediately blossomed just as his palm approached the area and blue mist filled the air.

His palm suddenly froze in mid-air because he felt that something was amiss.

That was because no matter how he looked at this scene, he felt that it was familiar as though it was in line with some sort of rumour.

Soon, he was awake and the cold hair on his body were standing on their ends.

“Goddamnit! What have I done?! I… caused a field of blue spider lilies to appear. Isn’t this the flower of death in the universe in those days that has a terrifying legend accompanying it!?”

The old man really wanted to curse but wanted to slap himself even more. His palm rapidly retreated as he wanted to withdraw his attack.

“Dao friend, you’ve honored me with the presence of your technique. Excuse me for not going out to meet you, so please let me atone for my crimes,” came a gentle voice from the swaying blue spider lilies in the vast desert.

Now, not only did the instigator who wanted to give Earth a slap a moment ago want to swear, but the others did, too. They really saw a ghost in the flesh. When did a certain ruthless stubble that could possibly fall from the sky as mentioned in the legends find its way on Earth?

Many of the powerhouses at the heaven-illumination realm who returned to this place once more outside Earth looked as though they had eaten a dead child. They had unsightly expressions on their faces, and that kind of feeling they had was really incomparably painful.

These people really didn’t know what to say. It was almost as though they had seen a ghost. They had actually provoked another great demon to appear on this planet!

“Dao friends, do you think I’m a pushover so you want to start a battle with me?” came a voice from the blue spider lilies in the desert.

The heaven-illuminators in the outer realms were speechless.

They really wanted to curse out. Were they really incurring the bad luck from all eight generations ago? Everything was not going smoothly for them. Just what kind of place did this declining planet become for them to be able to pound out a ruthless person with a random slap? This planet simply made people vomit blood!
