Chapter 2032: Ancient Ruins, The Core of the Ruins! (Part 2)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
It was a kind of unwillingness, a tragic grandeur, an echo of battle that spanned countless ages and still lingered.Suddenly.
Su Xiaowan, walking at the front, stopped in her tracks.
Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"We can’t proceed further ahead."
Her voice carried a trace of gravity.
"There’s an invisible energy barrier up ahead, likely one of the core restrictions that remain in these ruins, blocking our path forward."
Luo Qingchen followed her gaze.
Ahead lay a relatively intact plaza.
The ground of the plaza was paved with a massive piece of Obsidian, smooth as a mirror.
At the center of the plaza stood a towering, broken statue a hundred feet high.
The statue seemed to depict a giant winged dragon, but its head and half of its body were already missing.
And at the entrance to the plaza, the air slightly distorted, forming an almost imperceptible transparent barrier.
"Let me try and see if I can find a weak point."
Su Xiaowan took a deep breath.
She sat cross-legged, placing the Array Plate on her knees.
Though the Array Plate couldn’t directly mobilize Spiritual Power, it was a highly sophisticated Magical Treasure for deduction.
She immersed her Divine Sense into the Array Plate, quickly deducing and calculating the structure of the energy barrier.
Countless complex runes flowed, combined, and collided in her mind.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan’er stood by her side, vigilantly protecting her.
At that moment.
Luo Qingchen suddenly felt a premonition of danger.
He quickly pulled Lin Wan’er beside him.
"Watch out!"
Almost at the moment he spoke.
Beside them, a massive stone pillar which was tilted into the ground suddenly let out an unbearable groan.
Then, the stone pillar, weighing thousands of pounds, collapsed with a thunderous crash.
It fell right where they had just been standing.
Boom!
The huge stone pillar smashed into the ground, sending dust flying everywhere.
The entire ground shook violently.
Lin Wan’er paled, patting her chest with lingering fear.
If not for Luo Qingchen’s quick reaction, she might have been smashed into pieces.
"This wasn’t an accident."
Luo Qingchen’s eyes became icy cold.
"The restriction here has been triggered."
Su Xiaowan’s attempt at unraveling it was like dropping a stone into a still pond. Although she didn’t directly attack the restriction, it still triggered the remaining defense system of the ruins.
The ancient ruins seemed to awaken.
Suddenly.
A series of abnormalities unfolded one after another.
On the ground around them, those ancient runes suddenly lit up.
Fizz! Fizz! Fizz!
Black energy blades made of chaotic energy appeared out of nowhere, shooting towards the three of them like raindrops.
"Defend!"
Luo Qingchen shouted in a low voice.
The Chaotic Power within him instantly surged out, forming a gray Energy Shield around the three of them.
The black energy blades, upon hitting the Chaotic Shield, were like snow under the sun, completely absorbed and dissolved.
However, this was just the beginning.
The entire ruins trembled violently.
More broken restrictions were chain-activated.
In the sky, even a mass of black tribulation clouds began to form.
Twisted black lightning, filled with a sense of annihilation, tore through the clouds, poised to strike at any moment.
"Xiaowan! Hurry!"
Lin Wan’er shouted anxiously.
Su Xiaowan’s eyes remained shut tight; her face was pale, and a trace of blood had already appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Cracking this Ancient Times restriction was an enormous strain on her mind.
But she did not give up.
Her fingers danced rapidly across the Array Plate with such speed that they almost left afterimages.
"Found it!"
Suddenly, Su Xiaowan opened her eyes.
Her eyes were bloodshot, but more prominent was her excitement and joy.
"Southeast, beneath the third stone pillar, is one of the formation eyes! Breaking it will create a temporary breach in the barrier!"
She pointed to a broken stone pillar, only half of it remaining, not far away.
"Leave it to me!"
Luo Qingchen didn’t hesitate in the slightest.
His figure flashed and he was about to rush towards the stone pillar.
But just at this moment.
The mass of tribulation clouds in the sky seemed to lock onto him.
A black lightning bolt, as thick as a barrel and carrying the aura of complete annihilation, crashed down thunderously.
The target was precisely Luo Qingchen.
The power of this lightning bolt was already enough to rival the full-strength attack of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
Luo Qingchen’s eyes narrowed.
He didn’t take it head-on.
His figure, in mid-air, traced a bizarre arc and narrowly avoided the black lightning.
Boom!
The black lightning struck the ground behind him.
An enormous, bottomless crater with incredibly smooth edges appeared instantly.
Around the pit, there lingered wisps of black, annihilating energy.
Luo Qingchen’s figure had already appeared before the broken stone pillar.
He made no flashy movements.
He simply threw a straightforward punch.
On his fist, there enveloped a dense layer of gray Chaotic Power.
Bam!
The incredibly hard stone pillar, under his fist, crumbled into dust scattered through the air as if it were tofu.
Beneath the stone pillar, an array base engraved with complex runes was exposed.
Luo Qingchen punched again, smashing fiercely onto the array base.
Crack!
The array base shattered in response.
At the same time.
The invisible Energy Shield at the entrance to the plaza ahead pulsed violently.
A twisted gap, only allowing one person to pass through, blinked into existence and vanished.
"Now’s the time! Go!"
Su Xiaowan shouted, being the first to rush through.
Lin Wan’er followed closely behind.
Luo Qingchen stayed behind, and at the moment he passed through the gap, he looked back.
He saw the activated restriction area, with energy having turned completely rampant.
Countless energy blades and black lightning intertwined into a web of death.
If Su Xiaowan hadn’t found the formation’s core in time, even if they could break through, they would have paid a terrible price.
The three successfully entered the central plaza.
The energy shield behind them rapidly restored to its original state, completely isolating the violent energy outside.
The plaza was desolate.
Compared to the chaos outside, this place seemed like another world.
A towering, ruined dragon statue, a hundred meters tall, stood silently in the plaza center, exuding an indescribable, eternal pressure.
Standing beneath the statue, all three felt a sense of insignificance from deep within their souls.
"This should be the core of the ruins."
Luo Qingchen looked around, speaking softly.
It was then.
Another change occurred.
The star map bronze plate, always quietly resting on Luo Qingchen’s chest, suddenly burst forth with unprecedented, dazzling, seven-colored light.
Buzz!
The bronze plate automatically flew out from his embrace, hovering in mid-air.
It harmonized with the giant dragon statue in the plaza center, the earth’s veins, and the three moons in the sky, generating a mysterious and intense resonance.
A vast and indescribable torrent of ancient information flowed through this resonance, like a breached flood, frantically pouring into Luo Qingchen’s mind.
Luo Qingchen’s body shuddered violently.
His eyes instantly lost focus.
His consciousness was drawn into a distant, blood-and-fire-filled Ancient Era.
He saw it.
He saw a golden legion, composed of countless colossal dragons, overshadowing the sky, in the boundless Star Realm.
They soared between stars, their roars capable of shattering stars.
Their enemies were indescribable shadow creatures, formed from pure, twisted darkness.
War commenced.
It was a divine-level war, beyond his imagination.
Stars, in the clash between both sides, shattered like fragile glass beads, turning into cosmic dust.
Space was torn apart.
Time was distorted.
