The silver-masked leader's attack nearly destroyed all of his life force.

If it weren't for Bai Ling'er's True Dragon Power protecting his heart meridian, and the Chaos Power timely absorbing and transforming the energy of the stars, he would already be a cold corpse.

"We must find a safe place as soon as possible."

Su Xiaowan looked around warily.

This world is beautiful and fantastical, yet it is also full of unknown dangers.

Those star beasts we just saw are just the tip of the iceberg of the dangers in this world.

Luo Qingchen agreed.

He looked up at the three moons of different colors, and further away, at the huge rocks floating in the air.

His divine sense, like invisible tentacles, slowly spread outwards.

In this world, spiritual power is suppressed, but his chaotic power is like a fish returning to the sea; it is not only unaffected but becomes even more active.

The power of chaos inherently encompasses all things.

The stellar energy of this world was unfamiliar to Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaoxiaowan, and even carried a hint of toxicity.

However, for the power of chaos, it is just another kind of nourishment that can be devoured, analyzed, and transformed.

His senses traveled through giant crystal mushrooms and across twisted metal jungles.

soon.

His expression shifted slightly.

In the east, about a hundred miles away.

He sensed an energy fluctuation that was extremely faint yet incredibly ancient, filled with the aura of time's sedimentation.

That fluctuation was completely different from the wild, primal stellar energy in this wilderness.

It carries with it a sense of order, a sense of silence, a lonely echo as if forgotten by the world.

"there."

Luo Qingchen pointed in that direction.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

Without delay, the three set off immediately.

Lin Wan'er and Su Xiaowan helped Luo Qingchen, while Bai Ling'er nestled obediently on Luo Qingchen's shoulder, her big, dark eyes curiously observing this brand new world.

A journey of a hundred li is not considered far.

But they proceeded with extreme caution in this unfamiliar land.

Along the way, they encountered even more strange creatures.

There are bioluminescent jellyfish that float in the air like dandelions.

There are also arthropods that emerge from the ground, resembling metal centipedes.

These creatures harbored strong vigilance and hostility towards these outsiders.

Fortunately, under the deterrent effect of Luo Qingchen's chaotic power, which could already simulate the laws of this place, most creatures did not take the initiative to attack.

About an hour later.

A vast, ruin-like complex of buildings appeared on their horizon.

The moment they saw the ruins, all three of them held their breath.

It was a desolation and grandeur that defied description.

Countless enormous stone pillars, like broken giant fingers, lay slumped in the earth.

Some of them were broken into several pieces, while others leaned together at an angle.

The surface of the stone pillar was covered with traces of wind and frost erosion, as well as some huge and ancient runes that they could not understand at all.

Some magnificent halls have long since collapsed, leaving only ruined walls and foundations.

Huge stones were scattered everywhere.

Dark purple, spongy moss covered every corner of these ruins, as if silently telling how long this place had been abandoned.

The entire ruins were shrouded in a deathly silence.

The light from the three moons shone on the ruins, casting mottled and distorted shadows, adding to the mystery and desolation.

"Where exactly is this place?"

Lin Wan'er murmured to herself, her eyes filled with shock.

The style of these buildings was completely different from that of the Eastern Continent as they knew it, or even from any civilization recorded in any ancient texts.

It is full of ruggedness, grandeur, and a majestic momentum that echoes the starry sky.

It was as if this was not built by mortals, but left behind by ancient gods.

"Be careful, there are remnants of an array here."

Su Xiaowan's expression turned serious.

Although she couldn't directly use the array plate in her hand, her keen intuition as an array master was frantically warning her.

She can feel it.

The air in this ruin is filled with countless broken but still faintly functioning arrays and restrictions.

These restrictions are like torn fishing nets; although they have long lost their original power, they can still unleash deadly danger if accidentally touched.

"I'll go ahead."

Su Xiaowan stepped forward voluntarily.

She closed her eyes slightly, cautiously extending her divine sense to carefully perceive the flow of energy around her.

Every step was taken extremely slowly and with utmost caution.

Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er followed behind her, also holding their breath.

They stepped into the area of ​​the ruins.

The ground beneath our feet was hard black rock, also covered with intricate patterns.

As soon as Luo Qingchen stepped inside, he felt the bronze star map disc on his chest tremble slightly.

The tremor was very slight.

But Luo Qingchen clearly noticed it.

A thought struck him, and he realized that perhaps he had come to the right place.

The site was much larger than they had imagined.

They walked for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and only then did they enter the outer perimeter of the ruins.

Every stone and every broken pillar here exudes an ancient aura.

Luo Qingchen could even sense an invisible will emanating from these cold stones.

It was a sense of unwillingness, a sense of tragic grandeur, an echo of battle that has transcended countless ages and has yet to dissipate.

Sudden.

Su Xiaowan, who was walking at the front, stopped.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"There's no way forward..."

Her voice carried a hint of solemnity.

"There is an invisible energy barrier ahead, which should be one of the core restrictions remaining in this ruin, blocking the way forward."

Luo Qingchen followed her gaze.

Ahead lies a relatively intact square.

The plaza's surface is paved with a single, massive piece of obsidian, smooth as a mirror.

In the center of the square stands a dilapidated statue that is hundreds of feet tall.

The statue appears to be a dragon with outstretched wings, but its head and half of its body are missing.

At the entrance to the square, the air distorted slightly, forming a transparent barrier that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Let me try and see if I can find its weak point."

Su Xiaowan took a deep breath.

She sat down cross-legged and placed the array plate on her lap.

Although the array plate cannot directly draw upon spiritual power, it is itself an extremely sophisticated divination artifact.

She immersed her divine sense into the array plate and began to rapidly deduce and calculate the structure of the energy barrier.

Countless complex runes flowed, combined, and collided in her mind.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Luo Qingchen and Lin Wan'er stood guard nearby, protecting her.

at this time.

A sudden sense of foreboding arose in Luo Qingchen's heart.

He suddenly pulled Lin Wan'er, who was standing next to him.

"careful!"

Almost at the moment he finished speaking.

Beside them, a massive stone pillar, driven diagonally into the ground, suddenly groaned as if it could no longer bear the weight. Then, the immensely heavy pillar collapsed with a deafening roar.

It collapsed in the direction where they had just been standing.

Boom!

The enormous stone pillar crashed heavily onto the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The entire earth trembled violently.

Lin Wan'er's face turned pale, and she patted her chest with lingering fear.

If Luo Qingchen hadn't reacted quickly, she would probably have been smashed into mincemeat by now.

"This is not an accident."

Luo Qingchen's eyes turned cold.

"The restrictions here have been triggered."

Su Xiaowan's attempt to break the seal was like throwing a pebble into a stagnant pool. Although it did not directly attack the seal itself, it triggered the remaining defense system of the ruins.

This ancient site seems to have come back to life.

Followed by.

Anomalies occurred one after another.

The ancient runes on the ground around them suddenly lit up.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
One after another, jet-black energy blades made of chaotic energy appeared out of thin air from all directions, raining down on the three of them.

"defense!"

Luo Qingchen gave a low shout.

The chaotic power within him surged forth instantly, forming a gray energy shield around the three of them.

The dark energy blades melted away like ice and snow the moment they hit the chaotic shield, and were completely devoured and decomposed.

However, this is just the beginning.

The entire ruins began to shake violently.

More broken restrictions were activated in a chain reaction.

Above the sky, a dark cloud of calamity even gathered.

Twisted streaks of black lightning, filled with an aura of annihilation, weaved through the clouds, threatening to strike down at any moment.

"Xiao Wan! Hurry!"

Lin Wan'er called out anxiously.

Su Xiaowan's eyes were tightly closed, her face was pale, and a trace of blood had already seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Breaking this ancient restriction took an immense toll on her mental and physical strength.

But she did not give up.

Her fingers moved rapidly across the array plate, so fast that they almost left afterimages.

"found it!"

Suddenly, Su Xiaowan opened her eyes.

Her eyes were bloodshot, but even more so, they were filled with excitement and joy.

"In the southeast, beneath the third stone pillar, lies one of the array's key points! Destroying that point will create a temporary breach in the barrier!"

She pointed to a broken stone pillar not far away, which was only half there.

"give it to me!"

Luo Qingchen did not hesitate at all.

He flashed forward and was about to rush towards the stone pillar.

But right now.

The ominous cloud in the sky seemed to have locked onto him.

A black lightning bolt, as thick as a bucket, carrying an aura of annihilation, crashed down.

The target is Luo Qingguangchen.

The power of this lightning bolt was comparable to the full-force attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Luo Qingchen's eyes narrowed.

He didn't try to tough it out.

His figure traced a strange arc in the air, narrowly avoiding the black lightning.

boom!
Black lightning struck the ground behind him.

A bottomless, perfectly smooth pit appeared in an instant.

The area around the pit was still shrouded in wisps of black, desolate energy.

Luo Qingchen's figure had already appeared in front of the broken stone pillar.

He didn't make any fancy moves.

He simply threw a punch.

A thick layer of gray chaotic power enveloped his fist.

boom!
The incredibly hard stone pillar was blasted into dust like tofu under his fist.

Beneath the stone pillar, a base of an array covered with intricate runes was exposed.

Luo Qingchen slammed his fist hard onto the array base again.

Click!

The base of the array shattered instantly.

at the same time.

At the entrance to the plaza ahead, the invisible energy barrier rippled violently.

A twisted gap, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, flashed by in an instant.

"Now! Let's go!"

Su Xiaowan shouted and was the first to rush over.

Lin Wan'er followed closely behind.

Luo Qingchen brought up the rear, and as he rushed through the gap, he glanced back.

The activated restricted area was now raging with energy.

Countless energy blades and black lightning intertwined to form a deadly electric grid.

If Su Xiaowan hadn't found the key to the formation in time, even if they had managed to get through, they would have paid a heavy price.

The three successfully entered the central square.

The energy barrier behind them quickly returned to its original state after they entered, completely isolating the violent energy from the outside.

There was dead silence on the square.

Compared to the chaos outside, this place seemed like another world.

The towering, dilapidated dragon statue, hundreds of feet tall, stood silently in the center of the square, radiating a silent, eternal pressure.

Standing beneath the statue, all three felt a profound sense of insignificance emanating from their very souls.

"This should be the core of this ruin."

Luo Qingchen looked around and said softly.

That's when.

The mutation occurred again.

Without warning, the bronze star map disc on Luo Qingchen's chest, which had been quiet all along, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented, dazzling seven-colored light.

hum!
The bronze plate flew out of his arms automatically and hovered in mid-air.

It resonated with the giant dragon statue in the center of the square, with the earth's veins, and with the three moons in the sky in a strange and powerful way.

A vast, indescribable torrent of ancient information, following this resonance, surged wildly into Luo Qingchen's mind like a flood bursting its banks.

Luo Qingchen's body jolted violently.

His eyes instantly lost focus.

His consciousness was pulled into a distant, ancient era filled with blood and fire.

He saw it.

He saw, in the boundless astral realm, a golden legion composed of countless colossal dragons, their bodies blotting out the sky.

They soar among the stars, their roars capable of shattering the stars.

Their enemy is an indescribable monster composed of pure, twisted shadows.

War broke out.

That was a war on a god-like level, beyond his comprehension.

In the battle between the two sides, stars were easily shattered like fragile glass beads, turning into cosmic dust.

Space was torn apart.

Time is distorted. (End of Chapter)
