The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 769: Transformative Cultivation

Panda Novel

Whatever opportunity and fortune was only considered to be true if one seized it with their life still intact. If they lost their life to enjoy its use, it would all be in vain.

This was simply a dangerous land. Blood qi soared from his whole body and covered the sky as the silver tyrannosaurus at the perfect golden body realm roared, shattering a field of evolvers into pieces immediately.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half of them had been wiped out and there were less than one thousand two hundred people now from the two thousands of them. How much time had passed? If this continued, a total annihilation was inevitable and no one would survive.

The silver tyrannosaurus was too quick. Even though it was more than five hundred meters high, it was just like silver lightning once it started moving as it chased after them from the end of the horizon until it got close.

It let out a tremendous roar while it was in the midst of opening its bloody mouth wide like a sacrificial bowl. The scarlet blood qi accompanying it swelled agitatedly in this region and more than two hundred people exploded again.

Many people felt their scalps go numb. They simply didn’t have a shred of courage to confront this colossus at all because whoever went up against it would die.

They could only flee now. The silver tyrannosaurus’s blood qi flourished vigorously like raging flames whereas they were like living souls and Yin spirits that would certainly disintegrate upon contact.

Numerous people rushed to the vicinity of the bloody mountain peak and was about to charge up the mountain, but terrifying scarlet lightning swirled around this area. Tens of people immediately twitched, and their souls disintegrated as the lightning destroyed them.

Bloody mountain peaks blocked their path up ahead and a ferocious beast was pursuing them from behind. This simply made everyone despair.

But there was no way of hiding anywhere else. There were only a few mountain peaks that could possibly intimidate the tyrannosaurus.

As expected, the tyrannosaurus let out a low roar but did not dare to get too close. It opened its mouth and shot out minute silver light beams one after another to attack everyone.

“You bunch of weak Yin spirits who dare to approach the sacred mountain and benefit from the sacred medicine have to die!”

Bang!

Silver light beams resembling flying order pikes flew over. Everyone rapidly took shelter, but no one could evade them. All of them let out blood-curdling screeches and they emitted smoke from their whole body. After that, they turned into light rain and disappeared from this place.

Everyone fully experienced the attack and felt despair. They were universal geniuses, so how could they be so weak after they came to this world?

They encountered a monster like this upon entering the new world and had no way of dealing with it at all. The discrepancy between them was too great!

But that monster didn’t dare to come over, either. It seemed as though it was extremely fearful of this place. It paced back and forth in a distance before it ultimately opened its mouth and inhaled with all its might all of a sudden. A silver whirlpool took form and it aimed at a mountain top as it wanted to detain those people over there.

But something seemed to be unusually targeting this colossus. Ever since the bloody mountain peak sensed it approaching, it would flare up extensively and lightning would fill the air.

At this moment, an incomparably thick lightning bolt flew out of one of the bloody mountain peaks when the colossus made a slightly larger movement.

Bang!

The bloody lightning was too quick. It penetrated the void before striking the silver tyrannosaurus which caused it to let out a blood-curdling screech. Large scales dropped and blood splashed everywhere.

At the very least, this lightning bolt had the energy of a golden arhat and was even close to that of a Quasi-saint. It could inflict serious damage on the tyrannosaurus, causing it to stagger and fall back while leaving a large pool of blood where it original was at.

“Dammit!”

The silver tyrannosaurus was enraged. It coveted this area for a very long time, but it could never climb up to that bloody mountain peak all along and was unable to devour those sacred medicines over there.

Crack!

A bloody mountain peak shone in the distance and many electric arcs flew out, electrocuting more than ten evolvers to death as it turned into a vast light rain.

“Be careful. Our bio-energy and soul magnetic field can cause a reaction from the bloody mountain peak. If our fluctuations are excessively intense or if we get too close to the mountains, we will be struck by lightning,” shouted an evolver as he warned everyone . There was someone amongst them who was proficient in secret lightning techniques

A unicorn covered in purple scales walked out at the same time and siad, “Even if that tyrannosaurus has boundless life energy, it can only stand even further and wouldn’t dare to launch an unrestrained attack. We chose a suitable position between the mountains and the ferocious beasts because we can maintain balance and safety.”

“Humph! You bunch of Yin spirits, I can’t climb that sacred mountain, and I estimate that since even I can’t pluck the sacred medicine, then neither can you. If you dare to take half a step closer to it, I guarantee the lightning will destroy you.” The silver tyrannosaurus’ voice was icy-cold. It paced back and forth over here as it still wanted to destroy everyone.

An ear-piercing screech could suddenly be heard from afar and it sounded as though it came from a crowd.

The silver tyrannosaurus suddenly had a look of surprise on its face. After that, it turned around and left. It actually seemed as though something had frightened him.

But he was a little late. A few golden bolts of lightning flew over. These few living beings weren’t that large compared to the tyrannosaurus; they were only 33 meters tall.

These few monsters looked a little like goats. They had thick and solid horns that were like broad knives and there were golden meat wings growing on both sides of their bodies. Their exterior wasn’t covered in fur, but rather it comprised golden scales.

The speed at which they were flying was extremely fast and they intercepted the tyrannosaurus’ outlet. The horns on the heads of all the goats were shining, causing dazzling blade light to fly out.

Everyone’s expressions changed when they saw this. That was rough order energy that had condensed into blade light and was being released from their goat horn.

The tyrannosaurus was furious from being startled, but it was very terrified at the same time. The scales on his whole body radiated as it roared and soared. It waved its tremendous claws and spat silver light from its mouth as it engaged in an intense duel with the few monsters.

It was incomparably intense for a moment as scales fell from time to time.

Pfft!

A few bloody mountain peaks activated at the same time and a large expanse of lightning bolts flew out, attacking the monsters resembling goats and the tyrannosaurus. They retreated at breakneck speed and withdrew from the battlefield.

Any lone golden ferocious beast resembling a goat was no match for the tyrannosaurus, but they were a type of colonial life forms. Six of them acted together and attacked all at once.

Every single one of them possessed the strength of a late-staged golden arhat. They were well-coordinated as they worked together and constructed order runes, unleashing blade light after blade light at the tyrannosaurus at the perfect golden body realm. They hacked away at the tyrannosaurus, causing it to howl repeatedly as its body was completely covered in blood.

Finally, the tyrannosaurus fled in defeat.

But all of a sudden, two golden monsters soundlessly charged from behind a mountain ridge. They flapped their golden meat wings at great speed and cut open the tyrannosaurus’ stomach as it flew past the mountain ridge. A vast stretch of blood flowed out.

“You all should die!”

The tyrannosaurus went mad. His whole body was covered in runes and all of its silver scales spread open. A spiritual illusion rushed out from its glabella as it fought them with all its might because he knew he couldn’t escape.

The following battle was very brutal as blood light splashed everywhere.

In the end, the tyrannosaurus slapped one of the monsters resembling a goat with its claw, causing it to fall head first to the ground. The silver tyrannosaurus abruptly stretched his head out as he bit that monster off as he utilized his order runes.

But he had sustained serious injuries as well. His whole body was covered in wounds, all of which were caused by the blade light. He fell to the ground with a bang. His skull was torn open and his spirit light ball was dissipated upon attack.

There were eight golden monsters in total. One died in battle and one was about to reach the end of its life soon. The other six didn’t sustain heavy injuries.

Everyone in front of the bloody mountain peak was silent. They had just arrived in this world, yet they witnessed such a bloody and terrifying scene. The tyrannosaurus that was close to the Quasi-saint realm was so terrifying and so powerful, but it was massacred in the blink of an eye!

Just what kind of world was this exactly?

What the six monsters that looked a little like goats did after that startled everyone and all of them stared at what was going on over there.

They placed the corpses of the tyrannosaurus and their two comrades who finally died on the mountain ridge. After that, six monsters descended and started swallowing them and spitting them out. They vibrated rhythmically as they were fully utilizing a kind of mutant technique.

The silver tyrannosaurus that was more than five hundred meters tall and the two golden monster that were 33 meters tall lost their luster at a speed that was visible to the naked eye and a vast expanse of light rain flew out.

That was… the source of life energy and spiritual energy!

The six living golden monsters opened their mouths and absorbed those light rain. Some entered their bodies while some entered their spirit light ball.

After a very long time, their strength increased and they were advancing into the perfect golden body realm!

In the end, the six golden monsters stood up in satisfaction and hovered around in the sky, but they didn’t dare to approach that so-called bloody sacred mountain. They stared at Chu Feng and the rest for a moment before turning into six bolts of lightning as they left in a split second.

Even though they were souls and were in a spiritual state, everyone felt as though they had broken out in cold sweat. This world was too terrifying!

But there was a strange glint in the eyes of many people possessing tenacious spirits. They clearly saw that the skill those six golden monsters utilized a moment ago was extremely impressive.

They could actually absorb the source of life belonging to the tyrannosaurus and their dead companions, as well as the most precious source of spiritual energy stored in their souls, thereby increasing their strength in the shortest span of time.

This kind of method somewhat defied the natural order of the world because they could become stronger in battle and there were actually no adverse side-effects in doing so.

There were similar taboo methods of doing so in the universe everyone came from, but all of them came with very terrifying side-effects. They would ultimately temper the individual into a being that was neither human nor demon.

After those golden monsters did everything, it was too natural and there wasn’t a hint of indisposed reaction at all.

A single thought emerged in everyone’s hearts. Could it be that the living beings in this world had mastered an inconceivable mutant technique that enabled them to effectively absorb the source of their opponent’s life energy without harming themselves at all?

If this was true, that was in defiance of the natural order far too much which implied that some life forms could continuously grow stronger in battle!

No one spoke for a very long time.

In the end, a few people sighed. This was probably a world full of opportunities, but it was too dangerous.

After that, a few people stared at the bloody mountain peak as they maintained a certain distance from it to avoid the emergence of energy fluctuations for the time being.

“This is a great medicine similar to the Kun Blood Grass and Lin Blood Grass. It seems as if it is already tens of thousands of years old and is even effective on Quasi-saints. It can be called a sacred medicine!” someone exclaimed in surprise as they were incomparably astonished.

A kind of plant grew excellently atop the bloody mountain peaks. Every mountain peak had two or three medicinal herbs that were completely scarlet like blood and had a heavy fragrance.

It must be borne in mind that it was very shocking for one or two medicinal herbs of this grade to even appear, yet there were no less than ten after adding these four mountain peaks up together.

Evidently, the blood and essence of some divine beast had once drenched these mountain peaks thoroughly before. This outcome arose only because a fully grown divine beast that had the strength to reach great heights had perished here.

In the next three days, this group of people didn’t dare to leave this place because they didn’t understand their surroundings and felt that it was too dangerous.

Group after group of people were attempting to climb the mountain. They thought of all possible ways to do so, but all of them failed and paid the price with their life. No one could get close to the sacred medicine on the mountain peak!

Even Chu Feng had mulled over it for three days and three nights, but he too was momentarily at his wit’s end. He had no means of destroying the protective force of this Quasi-saint ranked domain.

“The so-called dreaming a hundred years in one night… We don’t really have to stay here for a hundred years, do we?” Ouyang Feng was concerned.

“We should go out and find a path. If we’re trapped here, we’ll end up empty-handed in the end,” someone suggested.

But no one was willing to take action. Who knew how far that six-headed golden monster had gone or if it had left at all. They was no telling whether they would immediately become prey if they really separated themselves from the bloody mountain peak.

Specks of golden light flashed by in Chu Feng’s eyes as he carefully activated his Fiery Eyes. He was actually equipped with this kind of ability even in his spirit state.

After a moment, the golden specks in his eyes disappeared. He faced everyone and said, “I’ll go and take a look!”

Everyone looked alarmed. This Wu Lunhui really was reckless for him to dare to take the initiative. One had to know that this was a difficult task where there was a concern to one’s life at every turn. As such, no one was willing to take the lead.

“I’ll follow you!” said Ouyang Feng.

The duo set off and dashed across hundreds of meters in a single breath. After they reached an uninhabited region, Chu Feng could stop pretending. Golden light blazed magnificently in his eyes and he could see beyond a greater distance.

“Something is going on! Hide!”

He saw two vultures at the golden body realm engaged in a fierce battle in the distance. Blood dyed the vast sky as red feathers continuously dropped off the body of a raptor.

In the end, one of the vultures was murdered.

Chu Feng clearly saw the other vulture grab the corpse of the dead vulture and dropped it off on a mountain peak. After that, it activated a kind of mutant technique. His whole body swelled up so that a wide expanse of light rain ascended from that corpse which he then absorbed.

After that, he clearly sensed that the aura of the vulture that was alive had become stronger. This kind of evolutionary path was truly terrifying.

The more one killed, the stronger one became. This was equivalent to cutting off a chunk of an opponent’s skills and evolutionary foundations. This kind of mutant technique somewhat defied the natural order of the world!

“This is not a rare instance! It seems as though all life forms have some kind of mutant technique and it looks as if there’s still no side effects yet. This is simply subversive and will cause a powerhouse to become even more powerful. The combating strength of living creatures will continuously grow.”

Chu Feng trembled with fear. This world seemed to be incomparably cruel. Many living being cultivated and evolved through fighting.

Furthermore, he clearly sensed that amongst life forms on the same level, the monsters in this world possessed greater fighting strength than the evolvers in the universe he was at. They were too violent!

The reason why they were getting even stronger was possibly related to the fact that they were continuously improving themselves through their constant engagement in battle, resulting in a sharpening and polishing of their actual combat experience as well as skill.

“This world is too abnormal. Even fully grown divine beasts can die. This Grandfather Ouyang doesn’t feel confident,” mumbled Ouyang Feng. Those few bloody mountain peaks made him feel terrified. It was obvious that the blood of divine beasts had previously dyed them red.

The two of them advanced cautiously and carefully. They discovered more than ten battlefields again and personally witnessed bloody scenes.

Chu Feng confirmed that the evolutionary path for the living beings in this world was very terrifying. They could take a shortcut and absorb their opponent’s source of life energy!

But different life forms mastered different mutant techniques. There was a clear and awfully large disparity in terms of strength and efficiency.

For example, the effect of a breathing technique would be as different as sky and earth for differing levels.

“This is practically subversive. Is this a kind of huge transformation or is it only a small shortcut on the evolutionary path? If we can master this…”

The duo exchanged fervent gazes. They were aware that if they could master some comparatively stronger kind of mutant technique, their future path would be incomparably wide and it would turn into a royal road.
