Purgatory

Chapter 242 Ancient Ruins

Pang Jian immediately called out the startling gun, chiseled inward with the sharp tip of the gun, and then picked up the cracked gravel.

This towering stone pillar, like breaking corn by him, picked up the corn-like gravel one by one, and made the stone pillar thinner and thinner.

"when!"

There was a sudden clang and crisp sound from the tip of the silver spear, as if stabbing something of gold and iron.

Seeing hope, Pang Jian accelerated to stir up the stones.

After half a sound.

A stout ape with black hair, holding a black iron rod, was fully presented by Pang Jian inside the stone pillar.

The ape, which was nearly ten feet tall, was actually covered with chain mail on the waist, abdomen and chest.

It has been dead for an unknown number of years, and its body still exudes a ferocious aura, as if it has not been eroded by time.

Its ape hand holding the black iron rod is full of strength like iron claws. Its tightly closed eyes have scars at the corners of the eyes, and there are dried and coagulated blood clots.

Looking at it in the stone pillar, Pang Jian couldn't help thinking of the gray ape with ice-blue eyes in the Cenji Mountains.

But it was wearing chain mail and holding a black iron rod, which was clearly different from that gray ape.

Because only high-level intelligent creatures know how to use utensils to protect themselves and how to control utensils.

The gray ape in the Cenji Mountains didn't seem to have such power before Pang Jian left, otherwise it wouldn't have been captured by the Shangguan family.

suddenly!

The thick ape, which was sealed or frozen inside by the stone pillar, quickly began to collapse like a sand sculpture piled up with gravel.

In the blink of an eye, an ape with a fierce aura turned into bone powder all over the place.

It gave Pang Jian the feeling that it was locked by the stone pillar for thousands of years, which made its body immortal.

but.

As long as the stone pillar is broken, as long as it is exposed to the outside, the power of the long time will infect it in an instant.

It also made it turn into a pile of ashes in an instant.

But the black iron rod, after the stone pillar was exposed, was not affected by the backlash of time.

Pang Jian was not polite, he stretched out his hand and planned to take out the black iron rod, ready to ponder it carefully.

however……

The iron rod used by the one-foot-tall ape was so thick that he couldn't hold it with one hand. As a last resort, he had to clasp the iron rod tightly with both hands.

He pulled back with all his strength, and the black iron rod remained motionless as if embedded in a rock.

After his face changed slightly, he mobilized his spiritual power on his arm and body, and pulled again with renewed force.

"boom!"

The rock fragments exploded, and the black iron rod finally moved.

But Pang Jian tried to pour the spiritual power into the iron rod, but not even a trace escaped. The iron rod seemed to be insulated from the pure spiritual power.

"rise!"

Frowning, Pang Jian exerted his strength again.

The energy and blood of the "God's Pond" was mobilized, and he stimulated the power of the "Phantom Bone Realm", his skin was as bright as silver, and he pried the black iron rod again.

"Kick!"

The black iron rod, which was taller than the ape, was pried by him and smashed down along with the broken stone.

A violent force that seemed to shake the world erupted from this black iron rod, making Pang Jian feel a little chill in his heart.

He hastily let go of the two hands that clasped the iron rod.

"Boom!"

The iron rod slammed heavily on the ground, smashing the ground into a long and thin ravine, and beside the ravine, there were cracks in the ground like spider webs.

Pang Jian, who was not very good-looking, looked at the iron rod with terrifying power when it fell to the ground, and then gestured the length of his hands, convinced that he would not be able to use this iron rod no matter what.

"This item is not available to normal humans, so put it away for now."

Not bothering to check it carefully, Pang Jian touched the iron rod with his wristband, lightly said "receive", and successfully collected the strange black iron rod.

"An ape who has been dead for an unknown number of years, a strange iron rod, this stone forest..."

Looking at the stone pillars standing on the ground again, he suddenly felt that there might be ape-like aliens in the other stone pillars.

"Cross the mountain!"

Silently displaying the mystery of the black tortoise shell, he cautiously pierced through the stone pillars in the next step.

But nothing was found.

He didn't find anything new until he crossed this stone forest and came to an open wilderness.

At this time, he glanced behind him, not intending to go back and check every stone pillar.

He took out the sword token, input spiritual power into it, and planned to contact the girl from Tianbao Li's family who was full of combat power.

After half a sound.

"No, the array in the sword order is actually frozen."

Pang Jian changed color slightly.

He called out the Broken Star Umbrella again, took out the Stunning Spear, and the spirit sword that Lei Kun had given him.

He tried one by one, injecting spiritual power into all the utensils, trying to stimulate the magic of the utensils.

The umbrella surface of the Broken Star Umbrella no longer shines with stars and moons, and the arrays in the Stunning Spear are all useless, and the power of the spirit sword given by Lei Kun is greatly reduced!
All the arrays in the utensils seemed to be useless after he left the stone forest and stepped into the wilderness.

The array is another way for human practitioners to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.

There are spiritual arrays in the flying spiritual weapon, there are spiritual arrays in the magic weapon spiritual tool, there are arrays for the protection of the sects of various sects, and there are arrays in the talisman script. This is one of the sharp weapons that human practitioners rely on for survival!

But in this world, the many spiritual weapons in Pang Jian's hands, the inner arrays all failed.

"Li Yuqing must be here!"

At this moment, he suddenly became convinced that because of coming here, the Li family girl's sword order could not work normally, and he could not communicate with the other party.

"call!"

An all-too-familiar indeterminate ferry boat roared from the distant sky, breaking into the mid-air of the Forbidden Land of Prayers wantonly.

but……

The unfixed ferry was in mid-air, and the array of driving ships suddenly failed, and crashed in front of it with a bang.

A streak of blood light suddenly rose into the sky, and in the streak of blood light, the figure of the Blood Moon Sect also appeared.

Faintly, there was a terrified and unknown strange cry.

This scene made Pang Jian stunned.

Then, another golden chariot of the Galaxy Alliance also came from the other side of the forbidden land of praying spirits.

"Boom!"

The golden chariot also crashed deep in the forbidden area.

The weird expression on Pang Jian's face intensified.

Blood Moon, Star River Alliance, these two major sects are next to the forbidden land of praying spirits.

They have explored the forbidden land of praying spirits countless times. How could there be a mistake that the flying spirit weapon suddenly lost control and fell?
Unless, the anomaly in the Forbidden Land of Prayer Spirits happened recently, even the Blood Moon and the Star River Alliance have unknowingly caused chaos!

Only in this way can the strange events taking place before our eyes be explained.

"There is no heaven and earth spiritual energy available, nor any other special powers, and the thin air does not contain toxins that infect the internal organs..."

Pang Jian took a deep breath, his mood became a little heavy, and he hurriedly tried to establish a connection with the black turtle and the little tree.

Fortunately, after a thought in his mind, he sensed the existence of the black turtle and the little tree.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and re-injected the spiritual power into the Stunning Spear and the Spirit Sword, and found that there was no problem with the transmission of spiritual power, but the array that amplified the power of the artifacts in it failed.

"Peng! Bang bang bang!"

The tip of the silver spear shot out balls of blazing light, which also smashed down the silver ice thunder.

But those balls of light and ice mines were only the size of a child's fist, and their power was a few grades weaker because they failed to increase their power with several arrays of shock guns.

"The invalidation of the utensils, the non-functioning of the spirit array, and the absence of a trace of heaven and earth aura, are fair to everyone."

Putting away the spear, Pang Jian formally marched towards the forbidden area with the spirit sword in hand.

After a while, he saw an incomplete stone statue with pitch-black wings, shattered on the desolate land.

If this stone statue stood upright, it would probably be tens of feet high, comparable to a Cyclops in the Fifth Realm.

The stone statue carved from black rock looks a bit like a warrior of the Demon Scale Clan from the Fifth Realm, but it has wings much wider than those of the Celestial Clan.

However, the statue only has a pair of huge black wings instead of several pairs of the Celestial Clan.

The head and torso were broken, and the stone statues with broken limbs, as if they had been disassembled into many pieces, were scattered on the ground, looking quite miserable and desolate.

Pang Jian approached slowly, came to the head of this strange stone statue, and looked at his ghostly face.

Suddenly there was a sound of howling wind.

"Whoa! Whoa, whoa!"

The strange whistling sound was like the babbling of an evil creature, which made people's scalps tingle and their consciousness blurred.

Pang Jian's heart trembled.

He looked carefully, only to find that the strange whistling sound came from the hollowed out eye sockets and the open mouth of the stone statue.

The eye sockets and mouth of the stone statue seemed to be pierced by some kind of sharp blade, and when they were blown empty by the wind, they formed a strange scream.

Listen for another moment.

"Not quite right..."

Pang Jian saw that the strands of spiritual consciousness in his consciousness were shrinking rapidly, which showed that his mind and energy had been consumed a lot.

Silently swallowing a Soul Cultivation Pill, he passed the cracked stone statue with black wings and continued to move forward.

gradually.

Destroyed broken altars, stone pillars that exploded on the ground, stone statues with different shapes, and weird wood carvings began to appear in large numbers.

Along the way, everywhere.

It is not difficult to imagine that in a certain ancient era, there should have been many intelligent beings different from the human race. In this special boundary called the land of praying spirits in the early years, they built altars and erected stone statues and wood carvings.

In this way, to communicate with the gods in their minds who do not know where they are.

The alien race was defeated, and when the human race became the master of purgatory, they destroyed the land of praying spirits.

All the altars, stone statues, and wood carvings where the alien race communicated with their gods were destroyed by the human race.

The alien races are either extinct or locked in the fifth realm of eternal darkness.

Two hours later.

Pang Jian, who didn't stop much along the way, stopped at a broken circular altar, looked at the six broken stone pillars beside him, and the murals carved on the stone pillars.

The unknown rune, the mural of the Cyclops worshiping the heavens, is on the broken stone pillar.

Here, obviously, is another altar that Cyclops uses to communicate with the Ice Demon.

Pang Jian, once in the same shattered altar below the Ice Rock City, successfully promoted to the innate in the way of "unity of man and nature".

Moreover, he also saw the past of Yanshan, the Cyclops in Ice Rock City, who saved the life of his youngest son, Ah Man.

After hesitating for a while, he stood on the more severely shattered altar and looked at the broken pieces of the six stone pillars on the ground.

He sat down where he was.

"Ice Demon..."

Whispering, he closed his eyes and felt like he was in the underground palace of Bingyan City.

The next moment he paled in horror.
