Chapter 325: What Happened in the Immortal Ruins?

Chapter 325: What Happened in the Immortal Ruins?

Rampant aura surged in all directions!

When they saw the figure emerging from the mist, the powerful beings of various races above the vast ocean were stunned beyond belief.

A human?

The one who had just unleashed that sword light, instantly slaying two demons, was actually a human!

How is this possible?!

Within the Immortal Ruins, where there weren't many restrictions on the struggle for power, it was already a blessing that humans weren't being slaughtered by the demons.

And now, a human was chasing and killing demons?

Was this human exceptionally powerful?

At this moment, even the three from Dragon Palace, Phoenix Nest, and Immortal Mountain, their brows slightly raised in surprise, looking at Gu Xuanji who had just emerged from the mist of the Immortal Ruins.

But in the next instant, the numerous demon experts reacted.

Their two Celestial Talents were about to leave the Immortal Ruins when they were caught up and slain by a human, right before their eyes.

And what's more, they were killed by a human!

Anger and shame surged in their hearts.

Then, a deafening roar reverberated.

A hundred demon Celestial Immortals unleashed their aura, shaking the heavens and the earth.

In the blink of an eye, all the demon Celestial Immortals were about to strike at Gu Xuanji.

The Golden Crow Demon Lord took the lead, transforming into a beam of light and rushing out. He brandished his fist seal, like a blazing sun, as if melting the void, and struck towards Gu Xuanji.

In that instant, a hundred demon Celestial Immortals attacked together, and a dense aura of death erupted in Gu Xuanji's heart.

Although he had undergone the baptism of the Nine Heavens Essence Qi and was about to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, he had no power to resist such a large number of demon Celestial Immortals.

Yet, his expression remained calm, without a hint of panic or fear.

Because with the death of the last two demons, the events in the Nine Sun Immortal Sect would remain unknown to the demon race!

Only the humans could speak of what truly happened within the Immortal Ruins!

Having completed this step, even if he died here, he would have no regrets!

It could be said that when he realized he was being transported out of the Immortal Ruins, he resolutely unleashed the same sword strike, already prepared to die here.

But...

Just as the Golden Crow Demon Lord was about to approach the mist of the Immortal Ruins...

"Amitabha!"

A Buddhist chant echoed in his ears.

Then, a dense sense of impending death suddenly erupted in the Golden Crow Demon Lord's heart.

Rage, struggle, fear, and reluctance...

All these emotions burst forth in his heart.

In the next moment, his body suddenly froze, and he turned around, punching towards his back.

Demon Subduing Holy Monk appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, and struck with a palm seal.

Fist and palm collided in an instant!

Boom!

After a dull sound, the Golden Crow Demon Lord's body instantly exploded, with half of it transforming into golden light and escaping.

At the same time, the Free Spirit Immortal Lord appeared with a spear in hand, standing before a hundred demon Celestial Immortals. His cold gaze swept across them, and he horizontally swept his spear.

Whoosh!

The frontmost demon Celestial Immortals were instantly torn apart like paper bags, exploding and falling on the spot.

Seeing this, the originally furious demon Celestial Immortals immediately regained their senses and stopped.

There was a world of difference between Celestial Immortals.

In front of the top-tier Celestial Immortal, the Free Spirit Immortal Lord, even a hundred strong demon Celestial Immortals couldn't stand against him.

Thick spear intent and killing intent filled the heavens and earth.

The Free Spirit Immortal Lord and the Demon Subduing Holy Monk!

With just the two of them, they instantly stopped the enraged demons.

"Humans! You've overstepped your boundaries!"

The remaining half of the Golden Crow Demon Lord's body fled back to the demon camp before stopping, looking at the two human Celestial Immortals at the edge of the Immortal Ruins mist.

As he spoke, he channeled his power to heal his body.

After he spoke, the Free Spirit Immortal Lord coldly smiled, then thrust his spear into the void beside him. His aura surged like waves, sweeping in all directions, and he spoke in a cold voice:

"We cannot interfere in any battles within the range of the Immortal Ruins."

"When our Celestial Talent unleashed that sword strike, he hadn't even left the range of the Immortal Ruins!"

"What? Do you dare to break the rules?!"

Upon hearing these words, the demons instantly froze, and the Golden Crow Demon Lord's face turned ashen, his expression filled with raging anger.

For a moment, the two top-tier Celestial Immortals of the human race stood off against a hundred demon Celestial Immortals.

Not far away, a dragon and a phoenix glanced at each other, then watched with interest.

But at the next moment...

"Get out of my way!"

"If you want to fight, wait until you're back in your own territory. Fight to your heart's content, turn the world upside down, and I won't interfere!"

"But if you continue to cause trouble here, blocking the exit of the Immortal Ruins and disturbing our Qilin child, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The Jade Inked Qilin spoke again, his tone impatient, and the horns on his head once again emitted the Annihilation Immortal Light that made all Celestial Immortals fearful.

As soon as they heard a hint of rebuttal, they would act without hesitation.

Free Spirit Immortal Lord's eyebrows raised slightly.

Demon Subduing Holy Monk's expression remained calm.

But both turned to look at Gu Xuanji, gesturing for him to speak, "Go ahead."

Gu Xuanji nodded, then without a glance at the furious Demonic Clan, he took a step forward and transformed into a stream of light, landing on the Human Race's flying treasure ship.

After this, the two Celestial Immortals of the Human Race took a step forward, leaving the edge of the mist.

During this process, although the hundred Celestial Immortals of the Demonic Clan stared coldly with murderous intent, they didn't dare to act recklessly.

"Hmph!"

"After this, we'll make sure your Human Race understands the fury of our Demonic Clan!"

Golden Crow Demon Lord had already recovered his body and let out a cold hum, speaking in a cold voice.

Then, for the time being, they overlooked this matter, and the powerful beings once again turned their attention to the surging mist.

After a few breaths.

Several figures emerged from the mist.

And this time, it was still several members of the Human Race.

Seeing this, the powerful beings of the Demonic Clan frowned slightly, but they didn't continue to rage.

The transmission rules in Spirit Ruins were chaotic, not following the order of transmitting stronger beings first and then weaker ones.

If Human Race members kept appearing, it would be considered their luck.

But after a moment, this idea began to waver.

Human Race!

Human Race!

Still, the Human Race!

This meant that among those emerging from the misty passage of Spirit Ruins, only Human Race members appeared, except for the first two Demonic Clan members who were killed, and no third Demonic Clan member emerged!

Moreover, not even the clansmen from Dragon Palace, Phoenix Nest, or Immortal Mountain appeared.

Seeing this, even the Dragon and Phoenix, who had been watching from a distance, had their expressions turn solemn.

This situation seemed somewhat strange!

From the Human Race hunting down the Demonic Clan, to now only seeing the Human Race emerge, this was already filled with peculiarity!

With this thought, Golden Crow Demon Lord didn't hesitate for a moment. He reached out to grab a Human Race member who had just emerged from the mist.

But before he could touch him.

Bang!

A long spear seemed to appear out of thin air, instantly piercing through the void and exploding the hand he had reached out!

"Mo Xiaoyao! Don't think that our Demonic Clan fears you!"

Golden Crow Demon Lord's expression was filled with rage as he spoke, "Our Demonic Clan hasn't appeared, and you Human Race should give us an explanation!"

Free Spirit Immortal Lord's expression turned cold as he gripped the spear, "What explanation do you want from us?"

"In Spirit Ruins, opportunities and crises coexist. To gain better opportunities, one must face greater crises!"

At this point, he chuckled and continued, "Do you think that in Spirit Ruins, we, the Human Race, have eliminated your Demonic Clan?"

Upon hearing these words, Golden Crow Demon Lord's eyes flickered with hesitation, and his gaze then fell on the Human Race member who had just returned from Spirit Ruins.

These Human Race members had varying levels of spiritual energy, but to say that they could have killed all the Demonic Clan members in Spirit Ruins was absolutely impossible!

Even the first Human Race member who returned from Spirit Ruins, the one who had killed the fourth and fifth Celestial Talents of the Demonic Clan, had a strength that at most could only rival the top three of the Celestial Talent Rankings!

With such overall strength, it was already fortunate that they weren't being hunted down by the Demonic Clan. To eliminate the entire Demonic Clan was absolutely impossible!

Upon hearing Free Spirit Immortal Lord's words, the eyes of the Dragon and Phoenix also flickered with hesitation.

The bloodline of the Dragon Phoenix Tribes was noble, and their clansmen's strength far surpassed those of the same level from the Human Race and Demonic Clan.

Each of them possessed strength comparable to the top ten of the Demonic Clan Elite Rankings.

With the strength of the Human Race, to act against the Demonic Clan and the Dragon Phoenix Tribes simultaneously in Spirit Ruins was almost akin to seeking death!

So, it shouldn't be an issue with the Demonic Clan?

At this moment, Jade Inked Qilin from Immortal Mountain took four steps forward, stepping into the void and heading towards the misty passage.

Buzz!

Amidst the swirling mist.

A figure clad in ink-black appeared.

Seeing this figure, Jade Inked Qilin's solemn expression instantly turned into joy.

Feeling the even more powerful aura on Mo Feng, he couldn't help but burst into delighted laughter.

Immortal Mountain's Qilin Clan had extremely long lifespans, but giving birth to offspring was extremely difficult, even more so than the Dragon Phoenix Tribes.

So, every clansman was extremely precious.

And the youth before him was the most talented member of Immortal Mountain's Qilin Clan in nearly ten thousand years!

Undoubtedly, he had found and seized powerful opportunities in Spirit Ruins!

Immortal Mountain's Qilin Clan might have another Celestial Immortal in ten thousand years!

With this thought, Jade Inked Qilin's eyes instantly lit up with joy.

The young man in the black robe nodded slightly, then glanced at the Human Race's flying treasure ship before taking another step forward, arriving beside the Jade Inked Qilin.

Seeing the Immortals of the Immortal Mountain emerge, the White Dragon and Flame Phoenix heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed they had overthought it; their clan members were still behind.

Among the Demon Race, the Golden Crow Demon Lord's brows furrowed slightly, but he could only let it go and once again turned his gaze towards the swirling mists.

However, at this moment, Free Spirit Immortal Lord and Demon Subduing Monarch's minds remained tense.

Their faces appeared calm, but they each split a wisp of their consciousness, entering Gu Xuanji's heart.

Sensing this, Gu Xuanji calmly closed his eyes, sitting in a meditative posture as if in cultivation.

In his inner world, three figures appeared.

"What happened in the Spirit Ruins?" Free Spirit Immortal Lord asked succinctly.

He had seen clearly that the one Gu Xuanji had slain with a single sword was the fourth and fifth-ranked Celestial Talents of the Demon Clan.

But before entering the Spirit Ruins, even with Gu Xuanji's abilities, he could only spar with the lower-ranked talents on the Celestial Talent Rankings.

How could he have unleashed such a powerful sword strike and directly kill two of the top five Celestial Talents?

There were only two possibilities for this situation.

Either Gu Xuanji had obtained an even greater opportunity, leading to a more significant improvement, or the two Demon Clan Celestial Talents hadn't gained much from the Spirit Ruins!

In response to Free Spirit Immortal Lord's question, Gu Xuanji didn't hesitate and immediately replied, "Qin Zheng inscribed his name on the Supreme Tower, attracting the Demon Race and the Dragon Phoenix Tribes to besiege him!"

Upon hearing this, the two Top Celestial Immortals' expressions changed. Initially, they were overjoyed, as inscribing one's name on the Supreme Tower meant possessing the potential to ascend beyond the Celestial Immortal Realm. But soon after, their faces turned furious.

The Demon Race had always been the mortal enemy of the Human Race, but what was more surprising was that the Dragon Phoenix Tribes had also joined the attack!

Fortunately, the wooden sword of the Absolute Immortal Sword was still with Qin Zheng. When faced with life-threatening danger, that sword would undoubtedly unsheathe and slay the enemies, ensuring Qin Zheng's survival.

Free Spirit Immortal Lord asked again, "What was the outcome?"

Gu Xuanji paused slightly, seemingly calming his turbulent emotions, but in his mind, the scene from that day replayed in his thoughts.

"Dead!" Gu Xuanji replied, his voice suppressing his excitement.

The two Celestial Immortals were momentarily stunned.

Gu Xuanji's voice continued, "They're all dead!"

"All the Demon Race members who besieged Qin Zheng, as well as every member of the Dragon Phoenix Tribes, were slain by Qin Zheng alone!"

These words echoed in the minds of the two Celestial Immortals like thunderclaps.

A single person had killed nine-tenths of the Demon Race members who entered the Spirit Ruins, along with the entire Dragon Phoenix Tribes! This situation likely involved the use of the Absolute Immortal Sword's wooden sword.

As long as Qin Zheng could ensure his safety, that was enough.

Killing nine-tenths of the Demon Race was one thing, but slaying all the members of the Dragon Phoenix Tribes...

Free Spirit Immortal Lord and Demon Subduing Holy Monk exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with gravity.

The Dragon Phoenix Tribes were different from the Human and Demon Races; their reproduction was challenging, and it was rare for pure-blooded offspring to be born.

Every ten thousand years, when the tribes entered the Spirit Ruins, the combined number of members from both tribes was barely over thirty.

Qin Zheng had killed them all! This time, the Human Race had likely offended the Dragon Phoenix Tribes immensely.

At this thought, their minds became heavy with worry.

Those who kill will always be killed in return. Qin Zheng hadn't done anything wrong.

The fault lay in the Human Race's weakness, as they had now provoked two formidable enemies, which would be difficult to handle.

However, Qin Zheng's talent was exceptional.

By inscribing his name on the Supreme Tower, unless something unfortunate happened, his ascension beyond the Celestial Immortal Realm was almost certain. If the Human Race could endure until then, they would likely witness a change, and their situation would improve significantly.

So, the two Celestial Immortals calmed themselves.

In just a few sentences, their emotions shifted from shock to joy, worry, and gravity, even overwhelming the two Top Celestial Immortals.

Then, Free Spirit Immortal Lord's expression changed, and he curiously asked, "What rank did Qin Zheng achieve on the Supreme Tower?"

Gu Xuanji smiled faintly, his gaze sweeping over the two Celestial Immortals before him, and he slowly said, "First!"

Boom!!!

Outside, above the boundless ocean, the two Top Celestial Immortals of the Human Race momentarily lost control of their auras. Chaotic energies surged skyward, sweeping across the eight directions, causing the Heavenly Dao to fluctuate as if heralding the apocalypse!
