"Everyone, let's enter as well!"
Upon witnessing the rush of all the people in the city towards the entrance to the ancient ruin, Mu Shaoyou could not control himself anymore. Without caring about the presence of any Master of Chaos, Mu Shaoyou shouted and dashed forward as well.
An Shisan, Yang Guo, Zi Yan, and others followed suit.
"Mr. Ling, we'll go first!"
Wen Zexu was also unwilling to be left behind. Seeing that Ling Xiaolong was showing no intention of entering the ruin, he hurriedly said goodbye to Ling Xiaolong and followed Mu Shaoyou and others with his sister.
No one wanted to be the second or third to enter. Everyone wanted to be the first, wanting to enter the ruin earlier than others.
Ling Xiaolong did not respond to Wen Zexu's call. Currently, his entire focus was on the burning Red Eye.
Because he did not keep the Red Eye in his spatial ring or place it inside his personal chaos, he had to keep it inside his robe.
Previously, the closer he drew to the Eternal Flame City, the more the Red Eye reacted. It had started heating and the intensity increased as he entered the city.
All of a sudden, the Red Eye started burning fiercely. Simultaneously, a phenomenon unfolded in the city, and the entrance to the Ancient Ruin opened.
"This Red Eye must have something to do with the Ancient Ruin!"
Taking out the burning Red Eye, Ling Xiaolong muttered. He kept observing the Red Eye for a while before keeping it back in the robe once again.
Finally, he raised his head to look at countless warriors rushing to the Entrance.
The fastest ones were obviously Masters of Chaos and Celestial Sovereigns.
Celestial Awakening Realm warriors did not dare to approach the entrance until the majority of Masters of Chaos and Celestial Sovereigns entered the ruin.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust as they approached the entrance, a strong gust of wind and majestic spatial force immediately appeared. The sudden change made it impossible for Celestial Awakening Realm warriors to move forward.
It was at this moment, that everyone realized that only Celestial Sovereigns and Masters of Chaos were qualified to enter the ruin.
However, there are always people who try to resist.
Some Celestial Awakening Realm warriors did the same. And the result of their action was, countless spatial blades instantly gushed out, directly cutting all the Celestial Awakening Realm warriors who dared to resist into hundreds of pieces. Very soon, more than a hundred warriors turned into a pile of bloody fog before they could even let out a miserable cry. They could not fight back at all.
As hundreds of warriors turned into a bloody mist, miserable screams were heard, causing the people who were rushing in behind to suddenly stop in their tracks.
Ling Xiaolong shook his head. He no longer looked at people. His figure flashed and he appeared in front of the entrance.
Without hesitation, he entered.
The next moment, he appeared in an entirely new—old—spatial zone.
Currently, Ling Xiaolong is hovering in the air.
Looking down, he saw a verdant forest mountain range that was filled with an ancient aura. Within this mountain range, huge trees stood tall, and the shade of the trees covered the entire sky. The sky was a little grey, and it carried a trace of hot temperature. In the depths of the mountain range, there were occasionally roars of unknown creatures. The roars were enough to cause one's heart to tremble.
An extremely ancient aura was spreading throughout the entire spatial zone. It was as if no one had stepped into this space for an unknown number of years, or maybe eras. Aside from those roars, there was no sign of life.
Aside from Ling Xiaolong, there were already tens of thousands of warriors present.
Someone muttered, "It's not an ancient ruin, this seemed to be the territory of an Ancient Expert."
"The territory of the Ancient Expert." Someone's eyes lit up. "If it is true, then there must be an inheritance hidden somewhere."
"I'm afraid no one has been here for billions or even trillions of years. It's definitely the territory of an Ancient Expert from several eras ago."
"The territory of an Ancient Expert definitely contains precious treasures. We should look for them."
The soft discussions and exclamations echoed in the air. Each and every one of them had an extremely shocked expression in their eyes.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
In the air, everyone glanced at each other and guarded against each other. Countless number of figures rushed out in a swoosh. After which, all of them swiftly leaped into the mountain range. They impatiently charged in different directions to look for their own opportunities.
Ling Xiaolong also entered the forest. As he entered the forest, the already gray light became even dimmer. The forest was filled with the strong smell of rotten leaves and weeds.
"Roar!"A moment later, an enormous beast roar suddenly sounded coming from the front.
Ling Xiaolong frowned, and then he hurriedly rushed forward. There, he saw a huge beast that had been already killed by the combined attack of a group.
Surprisingly, this creature was not a Chaos Beast. There was something very fishy about this beast, but Ling Xiaolong could not tell what it was for some reason. It was as if something was blocking him from looking at reality.
Ling Xiaolong wanted to use his Eyes of Insight, only to realize that this eye was swallowed by the Primordial Origin Eye.
His current eyes were Primordial Origin Eyes, awakened from the Primordial Origin Bloodline. It is just that he had yet to test the strength of these eyes.
Strangely, although he already has awakened the bloodline and eyes, he did not obtain any bloodline abilities or skills that belonged to the eyes.
But he could feel an incredible strength hidden within.
In order to test the strength of his eyes, Ling Xiaolong tried to focus on the beast.
As he willed, a tinge of golden flashed in his shining blue eyes. All of a sudden, the beast's body became completely transparent. He could see the beast's internal organs but even those organs were not blocking his sight.
His sight passed through every layer of blockage before locking onto a certain part.
"Abyssal Energy!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLing Xiaolong immediately recognized the Abyssal Energy that was about to dissipate.
"But... What is the Abyssal Energy doing inside this creature's body? This creature is not an Abyssal!"
As Ling Xiaolong muttered in confusion, the tinge of golden in Ling Xiaolong's blue eyes solidified. His iris were still blue but his pupil turned completely golden.
And then, something happened that shocked him deeply.
As if an invisible pair of hands were manipulating the rules of this spatial zone, the time stopped running all of a sudden. Everything froze. All movements stopped.
Only Ling Xiaolong could still move.
Finally, a scene unfolded before Ling Xiaolong's eyes.
Ling Xiaolong watched as he saw the dead beast suddenly turning into a beast's cub. It was then Ling Xiaolong suddenly noticed the group of people who killed the beast seemed to have disappeared at some moment.
Ling Xiaolong was confused at first, but then he realized that he was not watching the present, but the past. His eyes were showing him the past.
He watched as the cub grew, some changes started appearing within its body. Its body was being affected by the air, soil, trees, and everything around it. Everything was already contaminated by Abyssal Energy.
Slowly, the cub started transforming. It was the cub of a Chaos Beast, but under the transformation instigated by Abyssal Energy, it transformed into a creature that was neither a Chaos Beast nor an Abyssal. It was a failed combination of the two.
Chaos Beasts are creatures that cultivate Chaos Energy. Unlike Humans and other races, even after becoming a Master of Chaos-leveled Beast, they still cultivate Chaos Energy instead of Origin Energy. That is also the reason why they are called Chaos Beasts. It is as if they truly are the favorite of Chaos itself.
Be it Chaos Energy, Celestial Energy, or Origin Energy, these energies are recognized by Chaos.
However, Abyssals and Abyssal Energy are different. They are not recognized by Chose, they are despised by Chaos.
As for the reason why, Ling Xiaolong had no idea for the time being.
Anyway, Abyssal Energy is despised by Chaos, which is why, this energy could never coexist with any other energy. This is also the reason why death is certain if even a trace of Abyssal Energy invades a warrior's body. Even if it is a Master of Chaos, they could only survive if they manage to suppress the Abyssal Energy into their body if invaded. If they fail to suppress, death is certain.
That is why, being forcefully transformed by Abyssal Energy, the original Chaos Beast became something that was neither a beast nor an abyssal. It was something else, an entirely different being.
Surprisingly, the two energies, that could never coexist, seemed to have created their own dwelling with the beast's body.
