The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 457: The Saint Slaughterer

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

There was a lack of vitality on the island—the trees were rotten, and even if there were moving entities, they were also decaying with a blank look in their eyes. They hadn’t moved in a very long time.

Chu Feng was agitated because of the message Yellow Ox, the Black Yak, and the Old Donkey had left him, which said they were still alive and would return soon!

Seven enormous mountains shrouded in mist and clouds. This was Mount Eternal, so quiet, silent, and also somewhat terrifying.

Chu Feng was at the mountain gate with a smile on his face, because a weight had just been lifted off his shoulders. He had been worrying about their safety all this time, afraid that some of them would die within. But now, he was relieved.

However, he also realized from the message that it was very dangerous inside Mount Eternal. Presently, only Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng had gone in while the others were still outside, not daring to set foot in the danger zone!

For everyone, the deepest part of Mount Eternal was a forbidden zone. Ordinary life forms would become a living dead once they entered!

Chu Feng looked at the surroundings. There were already a lot of living dead at the main gate of the mountain.

In the vicinity, there were rocks and rotten old trees. There were also quite a lot of humanoid creatures which were all skin and bones. There were ghostly flames flickering in the eye sockets of certain unknown divine bird skeletons. There were also ants the size of a fist and ten-meter-long grasshoppers. There were all kinds of creatures. But unfortunately, although they weren’t destroyed, their souls had already withered!

All of them were living dead. They had once gone into Mount Eternal to charge through the barriers and thought they would rise abruptly to become a demonic sage. But through the endless years, just how many of them had succeeded? Millions of talented geniuses had all turned into rotten monsters.

It should be noted that those who were selected to enter Mount Eternal were often geniuses with heaven-bestowed talents. But in the end, they were all rotten and confined in this place. They became a member in this army of death, waiting to be summoned.

"One day, I will charge out and undergo refinement on earth?!" Chu Feng saw the message that Yellow Ox had left him, and while he was looking forward to meeting him again, he was also shocked.

As Yellow Ox had said, it was very difficult to come out. He could only go as far as the mountain gate area. However, he would figure out a way according to the clues he had seen in the land of death. At that time, the entire planet would become his refinement ground. This planet had been chosen by Mount Eternal to temper them.

At that time, he would be able to come out and meet Chu Feng!

Needless to say, when Yellow Ox and Ouyang Feng came back, their combat power would be assuredly amazing.

This was, after all, the place where demonic sages were nurtured. It didn’t accept mediocre people, it didn’t need reasonably good geniuses, it only took in the best of the best. And these people would be tempered through death!

Otherwise, they would become a living dead and be detained in this place forever.

"Yellow Ox, you all must live!" said Chu Feng.

Then, he paused a little and inscribed a message here once again.

Before Chu Feng left, he had chosen several places on the island and started to hide some objects, such as the three seeds in the stone box, and the silver box from the broken energy pagoda on Mount Qinling which he couldn’t open all along.

These were the things he thought to be the most important. He had no use for them in the time being, so he did not want to carry them at hand. He was afraid of them being exposed or accidentally taken.

Especially since Yang Xuan, Hu Qingcheng, Qing Lan, and others in outer space were using the dao fruit crystallization of clairvoyance. They were able to detect his every move, so he was afraid that his secrets would be leaked.

Only a supreme sacred land like Mount Eternal and other secret lands with extremely frightening domains had the ability to isolate their clairvoyance ability. They could not be spied upon.

Chu Feng clearly knew that he seemed dazzling and had achieved glorious accomplishments, but he was, in fact, facing a huge crisis. If there really were high-level divine sons, saintesses, or ancient monsters who had successfully escaped from Penglai that appeared, what awaited him would probably be a life-or-death calamity.

Therefore, he had to be prepared. In case he unfortunately died, he must ensure that these heaven-defying objects were in Yellow Ox’s hands.

Recently, he had been singing loudly all the way and looked optimistic. But in fact, Chu Feng had prepared for the worst.

Finally, he headed out of the island!

Chu Feng still didn’t know that there were saints approaching in the outer realm, but he did feel uneasy. It was just an instinctive intuition.

But presently, only a small number of people on earth knew that there was a saint approaching, driving those ancient chariots that had been covered with the dust for many years. They crushed over the stars as they entered the solar system.

Nowadays, there were so many descenders on earth, naturally, there would be spies who had been regularly sending information to the outer realm starry skies. It was them who reported to that certain saint.

A gray dusty stone chariot appeared on the edge of the solar system. Even the rolling wheels were made of stone and had filled the air entirely with chaotic primal qi. It made the entire starry sky tremble!

It wasn’t very huge. Compared to the boundless universe, it was small as dust, it was insignificant even in the solar system.

However, the aura that it was diffusing now actually made this region quiver slightly. So much so that the planet seemed to be bursting open. There was a secret force that could suppress the sea of stars.

The old horse was also gray and dusty with shaggy hair from head to toe. There was no shine to speak of. But it was indeed pulling this very ancient chariot that had come into being countless decades ago.

There were traces of cracks on the stone chariot, caused by axes, swords, and arrows. All were left by the saint’s opponents from the past, and most of them were already dead!

There were even traces of blood stains on the broken stone chariot; some were dark red in color, some with a pale golden luster while some were silver-white. Even though the blood had already dried up, it was still shining and seemed to be emitting the suppressive might of a saint!

The blood of his enemies was still there!

It could be told from this stone chariot just how powerful this person was. He had beheaded saints before—this was an existence capable of saint slaughter. He was one of the most outstanding at his stage!

Jun Tuo was an ancient saint who had experienced all the battles through the long years. All his life he had experienced the destruction of origin beasts, the black blood tide, the darkening of myriad heavens and other horrific eras. He had survived them all! Up until now, he had drunk saint’s blood, ripped apart a golden bodhisattva and yet he had not been devastated by the Buddhist race. In the end, he had been forgiven eventually. It could be said that his life was extremely magnificent.

It was precisely such a person who had approached the earth to take action for his descendants.

Perhaps because he had killed too many or because his success was too dazzling and he was the most powerful among the ranks of saints, his clan had suffered all kinds of disaster.

Originally, the clan was already sparsely populated, but now it was almost extinct. Moreover, they had extremely bad fertility.

They were a clan of quasi-divine beasts and, as such, they weren’t able to reproduce a large number of clansmen. Their numbers were still countable.

Starcore turtles, as the name implied, they were bred within the core of a star and were difficult to incubate.

Up until now, there weren’t many purebloods but when they entered the old age, their strength would be even more terrifying. However, their fertility would fall exponentially.

It wasn’t just the starcore turtles, the same went for all other races. As their strength rose, the more difficult it became to breed descendants. Most of the heirs were left by the most powerful among them when they were young.

And now, there were no young members left in the starcore turtle lineage, but there were some mixed-bloods. Two of them had stepped onto the star passage and had come to earth.

One was called the silver divine son, and the other was his brother, Yin Hong.

In the battle of Mount Putuo, Yin Hong once knocked against Chu Feng and made him spit out blood, but was eventually captured by Chu Feng with the prismatic net. The latter was prepared to eat him up when he marched towards the Carefree Realm.

Neither the silver divine son nor Yin Hong knew that they were the descendants of the ancient saint Jun Tuo. Otherwise, their prestige would have been even more magnificent!

That was because, in the past, the ancient saint Jun Tuo had disdained the mixed-blood descendants. He believed that they weren’t of orthodox blood.

However, recently, an ancient galactic turtle reported to him that nearly all of the clansman had stepped into old age. Their strength had indeed grown profound, but almost all of them had lost their fertility.

Only at that moment, was Jun Tuo shocked and immediately made the dao child around him contact various regions of the starry sky to find his mixed-blood descendants.

Naturally, the Silver divine son and Yin Hong brothers’ identity were reported immediately. Jun Tuo did not make it public, but instead, he had those descenders on earth who were willing to pass on messages to pay close attention and report to his dao child at all times.

And that was the reason why he was indignant when he knew Yinhong was captured and that native had spread the word that he would eat him up. Fluctuations appeared in his heart which had remained quiet throughout the long years. Who was he? He was a magnificent ancient saint who had gone through the endless years conquering all the heavens. He had destroyed countless vital stars. And yet, there was actually someone who dared to use his descendant as food? He felt that this person’s nine generations needed to be exterminated!

In his opinion, he thought that his descendants could die in a battle, but should in no way become food.

Especially since he had once waged war on this planet. He was one of the members of the saints during that time and was considered to be the main force. The star knights were absolutely incomparable to them. He had joined in the massacre operation and even killed one of this planet’s saints.

And now, a native from this declined planet wanted to eat up his descendant. He could never tolerate this!

Jun Tuo had come driving his ancient chariot.

Ever since that ancient war, after destroying the main force of this planet, he had been seriously injured and no longer used this chariot. But now he was revisiting old memories as he revealed his terrifying suppressive might.

Along the way where the stone chariot passed by, planets like Neptune, Jupiter, Mars seemed to be trembling. The scene was absolutely frightening!

As for the battleships in the solar system, all of them had been frozen and were fixed on the starry sky. Some of the battleships didn’t know about the situation and wanted to accelerate at full power. But they ended up being disintegrated in an instant and turned into cosmic dust.

The old horse pulling the stone chariot arrived outside of the earth and the ancient saint Jun Tuo was sitting in silence inside the chariot.

At the moment, there was a pair of dao children on the shaft. They jumped down and stood in silence at the side of the car.

Outside the earth, when Yang Xuan, Hu Qingcheng, and Qing Yu faced the chariot, they felt completely overwhelmed. They looked at the chariot enshrouded in the qi of primal chaos and it seemed there were splashes of saint blood upon. Some of the vital stars were blasted apart and a golden bodhisattva had been torn into two halves... the scene was extremely horrible!

The three of them fell in a heap on the spot. Their bodies fell involuntarily in prostration and worship.

They knew that this was the frightful accomplishment of an ancient saint, an old affair that happened in the past which made people shudder. He could easily devastate an entire planet.

Then, a faint gaze passed through the chaos and fell onto them. The three of them weren’t able to think anymore, their minds were frozen and everything in their mind was no longer a secret. Everything was read by this ancient saint.

Finally, when they recovered, their heads were filled with images of Chu Feng. They knew that the saint was investigating Chu Feng’s every move.

In a blink of an eye, there were also two entities coming from far away. One of them was the Nine Yin sparrow who’s strength had already plummeted. Facing the ancient saint, he no longer had the ruthlessness and atrociousness of the past and only saluted in silence.

Furthermore, he came here with another person, and that person was also wrapped in primal chaos. He sat cross-legged on the side after greeting Jun Tuo in the stone chariot. He was the hundred transformations saint Yuwen Chenkong.

"Transmit the saint’s decree, Chu Feng... must die!"

Meanwhile, a dao child started to talk, he looked like a child, but the vicissitudes in his eyes sold out his actual age. He was no weaker than a golden arhat!

On earth, it was as if thunder had filled the sky and lightning were dancing in the Nine Heavens. The sound was so loud that it shook the world!

Everyone looked up in shock and their hearts were filled with horror. What kind of existence was this?! The saints had decreed to put Chu Feng directly to death, this... was truly overbearing to the extreme!
