A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

The two immediately got to work.

They began raiding all the shops in Baichi City.

Although many shops were badly damaged and most of their resources were destroyed, the trip was still quite fruitful.

After all, it represents the wealth of a city.

However, there was one thing that puzzled both Lin Yang and Cheng Fu.

That is, none of the shops sell Yuansha.

"Lin Yang, what's going on? Where did Yuan Sha go?" Cheng Fu asked, puzzled.

It would be understandable if one or two shops didn't have Yuansha, but it's very strange that after searching all the shops in the city, none of them had Yuansha.

Lin Yang shook his head: "I don't know."

They searched all the major families in the city, but still couldn't find Yuan Sha.

Lin Yang looked at the densely packed corpses on the ground, reached out and beckoned, and some spatial rings fell off the corpses and flew out in front of him.

He broke some of the spatial rings' restrictions and began to examine them.

"These spatial rings don't contain any Yuan Sand, just some ordinary resources."

Lin Yang frowned.

Cheng Fu also collected some spatial rings to examine, and his brows quickly furrowed: "This is really strange. There's no Yuan Sha in the shops, and there's no Yuan Sha in these spatial rings either. Where did all the Yuan Sha go?"

Lin Yang shook his head, looked in the direction of the ancient ruins, and guessed, "It must be related to the ancient ruins. Maybe the ancient ruins took away Yuan Sha."

His guess was obviously just wild speculation.

But Cheng Fu thought it made a lot of sense.

After all, only ancient ruins could produce something so bizarre.

"What a pity, I was hoping to experience the feeling of having countless amounts of Yuan Sha," Cheng Fu said regretfully.

Lin Yang laughed: "Although there's no Yuansha, there are still plenty of resources. You'll experience what it's like to have so many resources that you can't count them all."

Although the cultivators who came to Baichi City to search for treasures were not wealthy, the resources in their spatial rings were not plentiful or precious.

But its advantage lies in its large quantity!
Corpses were everywhere, too many to count.

The resources contained within the millions of spatial rings are truly enormous.

Even if most of them are just ordinary resources, if they are sold as Yuansha, they would still be an immeasurable fortune.

Moreover, there are some rather valuable supplies.

For example, the treasures in the vaults of the major families in the city, as well as the relics of some Nirvana Realm experts.

In any case, there are countless resources available.

Cheng Fu tirelessly collected the spatial rings from the corpses and transferred the supplies.

He just wants to have one thing to do right now.

"What a pity. If only I could go out, or have so many resources outside, I wouldn't have to worry about cultivation at all," Cheng Fu sighed as he collected resources from his spatial ring.

Now that we've gathered so many supplies, all we can do is look at them and feast our eyes.

Lin Yang nodded silently.

More and more people are dying.

Or rather, hardly anyone is still alive.

Looking out from the city, not even the out-of-control individuals could be seen; only an endless expanse of corpses remained.

It seemed as if only the two of them remained within the entire city of Baichi.

Lin Yang suggested going to the three major sects to see if there were any survivors, and Cheng Fu readily agreed.

It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you have a goal and something to do.

You can also collect resources from the corpses along the way.

Lin Yang's first stop was the Moon Shadow Sect.

However, the entire Moonshadow Sect was deathly silent.

There were clearly no living people left.

"There should be a lot of good stuff in the sect." Cheng Fu continued his money-making business, plundering the entire Moon Shadow Sect.

Afterwards, the two went to Tiankun Sect and Hongwei Sect respectively.

Both sects were equally desolate.

The three major sects in the Baichi City region were all wiped out.

"Lin Yang, these sects truly live up to their reputation as major sects; they have a solid foundation. Look, so many treasures!" Cheng Fu kept showing Lin Yang his haul.

Lin Yang smiled but didn't say anything.

He could tell that Cheng Fu was acting strangely.

He became addicted to, or rather, obsessed with, collecting supplies.

He could understand Cheng Fu's feelings.

Only in this way can we leave behind a memory, a hope of surviving and getting out.

The thought that he could use those resources after he left is what has kept Cheng Fu from collapsing.

After reviewing the situation of the three major groups, he silently accompanied Cheng Fu to other places.

Firstly, it was to check if there were any survivors, and secondly, it was to satisfy Cheng Fu's desire to collect resources.

For decades, they traveled almost the entire White City region.

At first, you could still see some living people, but after a few years, they disappeared completely.

Even the living out-of-control individuals can no longer be seen.

This place has become a true death trap.

Cheng Fu also became increasingly silent, but he did not overlook any spatial rings on the corpses.

Lin Yang began to worry about his condition and reminded him several times.

Cheng Fu remained silent.

That day, Cheng Fu suddenly spoke up: "Lin Yang, we can't get out of here, can we?"

Lin Yang didn't know how to answer.

"Hahaha, we can't get out. I knew it all along. Even with all the wealth in the city, we still can't get out."

Cheng Fu suddenly burst into laughter, and then abruptly took off his spatial ring, which contained the resources he had collected over the years, and tossed it to Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, I'm tired, and I might not be able to hold on much longer. If you can still get out, please go and see Xia Shuang for me. I miss her a little. I have no relatives on the Primordial Ancient Continent, and she's practically a child I raised."

Cheng Fu said in a low voice.

A bad premonition immediately rose in Lin Yang's heart.

The next instant, Cheng Fu's eyes turned bloodshot.

He lost control too.

They pounced on Lin Yang.

"Cheng Fu!"

Lin Yang felt a sharp pain in his heart, an unbearable ache.

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on Cheng Fu and kept his distance.

But they didn't leave completely; instead, they hid and watched Cheng Fu, who was out of control, from afar.

One year, two years
Five years later.

Cheng Fu became one of the corpses scattered everywhere.

At this point, there was no other living person in the entire Baichi City except for Lin Yang himself.

Lin Yang buried Cheng Fu.

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, he thought for a moment, then condensed his Dao power into a wisp of flame and simply burned all the corpses.

He burned millions of corpses.

The burning lasted a long time.

He then spent many more years traversing every corner of the Blazing City region, burning all the corpses.

Finally, he arrived at the entrance to the ancient ruins.

Everything originates here.

He stood outside the entrance to the ancient ruins, speechless for a long time.

He didn't know why everyone else had lost control and died, but he hadn't.

He came here to find the answers.

But a last shred of reason made him stop and not enter the ancient ruins directly.

I stood at the entrance for more than half a month.

Lin Yang withdrew his gaze.

Since he hasn't lost control and is still alive, even if we don't know the reason, there is hope as long as he is alive.

He began his cultivation.

Strength is always the fundamental solution to problems.

He will never give up as long as things don't get out of control.

He now possesses all the resources left behind by the three major sects, White Blaze City, and those corpses.

He's going to make the most of these resources!

Ten years, a hundred years...

A thousand years, ten thousand years...

The area around Baichi City has undergone tremendous changes.

Many plants have sprung up from the ground, growing lush and green.

The original interior of the White City has been completely covered by plants, making it impossible to recognize what the city originally looked like.

The entire Baichi City area resembled a primeval forest. On this day, Lin Yang's cultivation level broke through from the late stage of the Dao Fire Realm to its peak.

He sensed the changes in the Baichi City area.

I was quite surprised.

The power of nature is indeed immense, but the question is, how come the power of the ancient ruins has not affected the environment of the White-Hot City area?

This surprised him.

The ancient ruins destroyed the City of Blazing, turning the area into a forbidden zone and a death trap.

According to conventional theory, this place should be barren.

But now it looks vibrant and full of life.

It doesn't resemble a dead land; rather, it's more like an old, isolated forest.

However, Lin Yang soon discovered that apart from plants, there were no other animal scents or traces.

It remains deathly silent here.

And he was the only vibrant presence in this deathly silence.

He then focused on his cultivation again.

Even now, he hasn't lost control.

He had a feeling that he might actually be able to persevere.

Ten thousand years and ten thousand years...

On this day, relying on the accumulation of massive resources, he finally reached the Nirvana Realm.

Then, his cultivation speed suddenly slowed down considerably.

Because most of the resources at hand are ordinary resources, they are difficult to apply to cultivation after reaching the Nirvana Realm.

He can no longer use the vast resources at his disposal to improve rapidly.

Although Lin Yang felt it was a pity, at least he hadn't lost control yet.

This is something to be happy about.

He didn't know what the situation was like outside, or whether any truly important figures had come here to attempt a rescue.

Time had lost its meaning for him.

Aside from cultivating, he couldn't find anything else to do.

Tens of thousands of years later, his cultivation reached the mid-stage of the Nirvana Realm.

At this point, the resources available for Nirvana Realm cultivation had been reduced by more than half.

Lin Yang estimated that the remaining strength could sustain him until he reached the late stage of the Nirvana Realm.

Then you'll have to rely entirely on yourself to accumulate experience gradually.

He was just unsure if he could hold out until then.

Lately, he has been feeling a strange urge that keeps popping into his head, making him want to go into ancient ruins.

He had a feeling that something bad might happen to him too.

Am I about to lose control myself?

Lin Yang noticed his own unusual reaction, but he was not panicked and remained calm.

Being able to live this many more years is already an unexpected joy.

He kept himself away from the entrance to the ancient ruins.

But the impulse in my heart grew stronger.

He had a feeling that he was losing control of himself.

This is a sign that things are about to get out of control.

He could even feel his own eyes undergoing uncontrollable changes.

A crimson hue filled their eyes.

The next instant, a sudden realization dawned on Lin Yang.

He's about to lose control too.

"Is it finally here?"

Lin Yang closed his eyes, unable to suppress the impulse in his heart.

His body began to fly uncontrollably toward the entrance of the ancient ruins, as if he intended to plunge directly into the ruins.

His thoughts also became chaotic and blurred.

It was as if some force within the ancient ruins was drawing him in.

suddenly.

Just as Lin Yang's body was about to disappear into the entrance of the ancient ruins.

It was also when the power inside the ancient ruins pulled his body to its peak.

A sudden surge of energy erupted from the depths of Lin Yang's soul.

The force that had been pulling his body suddenly dissipated with the fluctuations.

Consciousness returns to the body.

Lin Yang suddenly opened his eyes and found that he had regained control of his body.

"That was just now..."

"The power of the realm?!"

Lin Yang was quite shocked as he recalled what had just happened.

Jie surprisingly stepped in at the crucial moment, helping him escape his out-of-control state.

"boundary!"

Lin Yang couldn't help but call out to it in his soul, trying to connect with it.

This time, he clearly sensed the existence of the "boundary" and successfully mobilized its power.

As soon as the power of the realm surged into his body, Lin Yang instantly felt an indescribable sensation.

It seems that "Jie" has undergone some changes since it lost contact last time.

He could even sense wisps of gray-black aura mixed with a faint red flowing at the entrance of the ancient ruins.

And the "boundary" was actually slowly absorbing this power!
Lin Yang's eyes widened in surprise.

The world can even absorb the power of ancient ruins?!
He was shocked.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of hope welled up in Lin Yang's heart.

Since the "boundary" can absorb the power of ancient ruins, it means that the "boundary" can at least ignore the influence of the power of ancient ruins.

Does that mean we can use the "boundary" to leave this place?
He rushed towards the edge of the area almost immediately.

He's going to try it at the invisible barrier!
Finally, Lin Yang reached the edge of the area once again.

He took a deep breath, summoned the power of the "boundary" to cover his body, and reached out to touch the invisible barrier.

The instant they made contact.

A ripple, visible to the naked eye, appeared on the invisible barrier.

Lin Yang was overjoyed.

The invisible barrier, which had previously remained unmoved by any attempts to break through, has now reacted under the power of the "boundary"!
There is a play!

Lin Yang continues to increase the power of "boundaries".

He could sense a fierce resistance emanating from the invisible barrier, attempting to suppress the power of the "boundary".

The two forces kept colliding.

Lin Yang held his breath as he began to see his palm slowly passing through the invisible barrier.

Despite the extremely slow speed, Lin Yang was excited.

This means that he did indeed have the possibility of passing through the barrier and leaving!
I don't know how long it will be.

Lin Yang felt that his senses had been able to overcome the invisible barrier and he could see some of the scenery outside the barrier.

Although it was blurry, I could definitely sense something.

He could even hear some sounds.

It sounds like a conversation between some people.

"The great and ominous ancient ruins have already taken shape. In the future, the area of ​​Baichi City will completely belong to the territory of those great and ominous ancient ruins. Fortunately, it only affected one city, which is already a great blessing."

"Who says otherwise? Many people died outside this time too. It's finally calmed down. It's just a pity that we have to stay here for a while to prevent any evil creatures from appearing."

"The message from above is that if anything comes out of there, no matter what it is, it must be killed without mercy. What if it's a person? Will they be killed too?"

"Yes, the ancient ruins of the Great Evil have taken over the city. There can't be any living people inside anymore. Anyone who can come out is a ferocious creature, possibly controlled by the ancient ruins of the Great Evil. In any case, we can't let them live."

"Sigh, what a tragedy..."

"..."

Upon hearing the indistinct conversation, Lin Yang's initial excitement immediately subsided.

Because he seems to have overlooked a problem.

That is, everyone in the Baichi City area is dead, and he is the only one who is alive.

Once outside, it seemed inexplicable!

Why is he still alive?

And how were they able to get out safely?

And it was in a state of being uncontrolled?

A series of problems, all of which are fatal.
