The Sacred Ruins-Chapter 404: Destroying the Land

Chapter 404: Destroying the Land

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Although Chu Feng's emotions were fluctuating with great intensity, he didn't actually lose his rationality. This woman probably has powerful methods to dare act in such a manner.

"She comes from an imperial dynasty, but I wonder what star rank that dynasty is?" Chu Feng had once come across the ruins of a four-star dynasty on his trip to Mount Qinling. They were using quasi-divine beasts to pull their carriages as they roamed the star systems. There were platforms there for parking quasi-divine beast-drawn chariots.

In any case, the strength of those who dared proclaim themselves a dynasty should be a top grade orthodoxy of the star. They must be terrifying.

"This maid couldn't have entered the carefree realm, could she?" Chu Fent muttered. He felt that it wasn't quite possible.

The difficulty in crossing over was greater for more powerful experts. They would have to face the terrifying death traps of earth's domains. This was something Yellow Ox had stressed a number of times.

Only a maid had crossed over among all the agents of the dynasty, while the others were still reluctant to take the risk. Chu Feng considered all of this and concluded that she should still be in the shackled realm.

Even though she's still in the shackled realm, her level should be pretty high. Chu Feng's eyes were cold because he knew he would have to prepare well.

First, he should evolve once again. It so happened that he had just picked a number of mutant fruits and this would surely prove useful in helping him transform into a stronger being.

All methods required strength as a basis, otherwise, everything would be mere fleeting illusions and floating duckweed.

Secondarily, he would have to lay down an attack domain to use as support. After all, he had no way to confirm the lady's exact strength.

"There should be a number of treasures on her since she hails from an evolver's dynasty." Chu Feng pondered. He had taken these things into considering.

So much that she might have a great killing weapon that could turn the tables at the critical juncture!

He then set out towards Jiangning at lightning speed. He wanted to go to the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace on Mount Zhijin in order to evolve once again.

But he noticed the piece of news the Snow Leopard King had sent him. That woman was, once again, walking about in Jiangning City with the Mastiff King bound in metallic chains.

"Could she have already seen through the secrets of Mount Zhijin?" Chu Feng frowned.

At this point, no one had yet realized the significance of geographic features like the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace. This was a land of fortune and wouldn't bode well if it were discovered by the woman.

But Chu Feng didn't reduce his speed and kept on running. As long as he was first to enter the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace, he wouldn't have to worry about outsiders disturbing his medicine refinement. He wouldn't have to worry about any attacks.

That place held many domains left behind since ancient time and eight terrifying forms of energy. Once they were activated, the whole area would transform into a land of death and conflagration.

The other positions apart from the cave containing Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace would display shocking destructive power.

Chu Feng hoped she would actually attack him after he entered the furnace. At that time, he could burn her up until she was full of blisters and holes and she was reduced to ashes.

On the way, the great demons of Kunlun kept him continuously updated on the present situation because they were worried about him and afraid that he would lose out.

The woman's position and traveling routes were being monitored by a certain bird king from Kunlun. Presently, she was still within the city.

"So she wasn't here for Mount Zhijin? Did I overthink it?" Chu Feng muttered to himself as he continued his journey.

Mu Qing was walking in a leisurely manner within Jiangning. There was a fine silver chain tied to her hand, the other end of which was attached to the Mastiff King's neck.

She was quite casual and dressed fashionably as if she had completely adapted to earth's civilization. She seemed quite interested in shopping.

The Mastiff King was suppressed without the slightest strength to resist. He wanted nothing more than to take his own life, but he couldn't even commit suicide after being bound by the chains.

The magnificent Mastiff King, a peerless expert of the East, was actually being treated this way. The corners of his eyes were almost bleeding.

Mu Qing shot the Mastiff King a glance and said, "Oh, it seems you're quite aggrieved about this humiliation? Rest assured, you'll feel that you're actually fortunate and glorious after a while."

She glanced at the distant bird king in disdain. If she didn't need it to relay her status to Chu Feng, how could she endure being followed?

"Ah, that woman has left the city!" The bird king sent word immediately.

Chu Feng received the information first hand and felt his heart thump. His frown deepened—things didn't look good because that woman was heading towards Mount Zhijin.

This was the place he wanted to go, and yet, that woman was also heading there.

Chu Feng had first nurtured weapons there, and the second time he went there was to refine medicine. Now, it seemed he had aroused some suspicions. Clearly, the woman had guessed something because she was also heading there.

Mu Qing was already approaching Mount Zhijin when Chu Feng arrived near Jiangning.

Swoosh!

Chu Feng took one step forwards like a lightning arrow. He shot through the forest and went towards the distance.

But he ultimately slowed down at some distance from Mount Zhijin. He wasn't that afraid and dared to charge into the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace.

But the Mastiff King was suffering in the hands of the woman. If he directly killed his way in, things could turn ugly.

Mount Zhijin was surrounded by auspicious qi and was quite extraordinary.

Mu Qing arrived with the Mastiff King in tow and casually sized up the terrain.

"Oh, this place indeed has impressive geographical features. No wonder Chu Feng came here twice," she muttered to herself. Although she wasn't a domain researcher, her knowledge was broad since she was a follower of an imperial prince from an evolver's dynasty.

She had come to Jiangning because of Mount Zhijin.

"There are some special geographical features in this area and can nurture fortunes. Someone had once hidden within the leylines to nurture a divine medicine. There was also someone who utilized the wondrous cave to nurture a golden body and caused his body to transform. There's also a dead person buried within the yin-yang minerals and has been reanimated after hundreds of years."

Mu Qing suspected that this place was a land of fortunes.

The dynasty had raised a number of domain researchers to help the royal family find rare landscapes.

Mu Qing was influenced by them and became sensitive to the lay of the land.

Chu Feng had arrived, but he kept his distance and didn't approach the mountain. Things would've been much easier if the Mastiff King wasn't in the woman's hand. He wouldn't have to be so apprehensive.

"This place is indeed somewhat odd. Don't tell me this Chu Feng is cultivating with the help of this location?" Mu Qing muttered because she knew some of the domain researchers' methods. Some of them could devour the essence of the mountains and rivers—this kind of evolution was even more terrifying than ingesting mutant fruits.

She believed Chu Feng was far from being at such a level, but if this really was a land of fortune, he might be able to gain some benefits by borrowing the special landscape.

"I have to destroy this place." Mu Qing was quite decisive and immediately shot out a silver shuttle and bombarded the land.

Boom!

The silence was broken as the land went up in flames under the barrage of attacks.

"This woman is truly hateful!" Chu Feng's expression was extremely gloomy as he personally witnessed this scene from a distant mountain peak.

The silver shuttle shot forth like a river of silvery stars and bombarded the area with astonishing might, causing the rocks to fly in different directions and the earth crack apart.

Chu Feng watched in cold silence.

Boom!

After a dozen or so attacks, Mu Qing finally found the correct area. It was precisely the area of the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace. There, she awoke the domains left behind from ancient times.

Boom!

A mass of extreme yang flame essence surged out.

Chu Feng felt that it would be quite difficult for her to destroy this land of fortune. After all, there were ancient domains guarding the place, but he was afraid she would mess up the place.

That was because he knew there were extraordinary things underneath!

Crack!

Metallic qi shot out towards her, but Mu Qing seemed to have no intention of stopping. She seemed to want nothing more than to ruin the whole place and transform it into a deep pit.

"This place is really quite odd. Now I'm even more certain that Chu Feng has received benefits from this place!" Mu Qing muttered to herself as she continued her assault.

Chi!

Dark mist spread out as specks of black light surged up to form an area of raging black flames. She had broken the ground containing the flames of extreme yin and drawn out the terrifying energy within.

Dong, dong, dong…

She pierced through the stones and rocks after several attacks.

At this moment, Chu Feng's eyes constricted. He felt that something wasn't right even though he was on a faraway peak. That thing underground…

"Eh?!"

Mu Qing's reaction could be considered quite fast. She swiftly retracted her silver shuttle and retreated rapidly. For a moment there, she could no longer pay attention to the Mastiff King.

The location containing the flames of extreme yin cracked open as a hair jet-black hand reached out. It was a terrifying scene.

"Ah…" Mu Qing's countenance lost all color. How was this possible? How could there be such a demon in this land of fortunate? This went contrary to her predictions.

In the distance, Chu Feng's expression was penetrative. She had finally agitated the thing under the earth. This Mu Qing would have to reap what she had sown.

Bang!

The silver shuttle was immediately blasted apart with a slap of that large hand and turned into a mass of silvery powder.

With a boom, the sky darkened as the hand drew closer to Mu Qing.

"No!"

She screamed out loud. This excursion to Mount Zhijin, to her, was a great failure. She had lost a secret treasure and suffered an astonishing counterattack.

Weng!

Space trembled as a jade green raft, made of mysterious bamboo, emerged. It carried her into the sky at an imaginable speed.

But at the last moment, the hand reached towards the sky and shot out a stream of extreme yang essence flames. The fire gushed upwards and struck Mu Qing, causing her to scream miserably on the spot.

"Ah…"

Although it was only a spark, its destructive powers were shocking when it landed on a human body.

Chu Feng secretly exclaimed that it was such a pity that the black hand was tied down to the ground by a chain and could only reach out so far.

Otherwise, the damage would be absolutely astonishing.

At the same time, Chu Feng also noticed that there were some golden talismans stuck on the hand and were suppressing its power. Otherwise, it would be incomparably frightening.

Boom!

In the end, the black hand disappeared back into the ground. Additionally, the land closed up and no clue was left of its existence.

Swoosh!

Chu Feng dived down towards that area from atop the mountain and left with the Mastiff King. Fortunately, he had rushed in just as Mu Qing was running for her life and the big hand was aiming at the sky. Otherwise, the Mastiff King who was on the ground would be in grave danger.

Chu Feng glanced at the Revered Eight Trigrams Furnace and felt that there was no way to refine medicine at the moment. It would be rather suicidal to go and refine medicines while the thing underground had been alerted.

He would need to wait for it to calm down and fall asleep again.

"Mastiff King, I'll bring you to kill her and get revenge!"

Chu Feng said thus and brought the Mastiff King along as he chased towards the verdant bamboo raft!

That woman had suffered a serious injury after being burnt by the essence flames of extreme yang. This was a pure accident, but it served her right.
