I told you to change your skills, and you changed them into a nuclear explosion immortal?

Looking at those people, Richard felt a tightness in his chest, as if his heart was in his throat.

These were specially sent by the higher-ups to secretly protect them and seize the opportunity to strike Lu Yun, aiming to kill him instantly and leave him no chance to recover.

But now, these protectors have not only failed to appear beforehand, but have become dead dogs. How could he not be terrified?

What's even more terrifying is that he was extremely familiar with the two old men standing in front of the void rift.

One of them is Zhang Chenglin, the Dragon God.

One of them is Lu Chen, the God of Pain.

Both of them are among the top ten guardians of the Dragon Kingdom, especially Lu Chen, who is far more powerful than Zhang Chenglin.

Seeing them, Richard and the others felt as if they were witnessing divine might.

"It's over..."

This was Richard's first thought after regaining his senses. He knew that not only were they no longer part of this exploration of the ruins, but they might also perish here.

Seeing Richard and the others slumped on the ground, their faces pale and trembling, Zhang Chenglin showed no interest whatsoever. He then turned to Lu Yun and smiled.

"Young Lu! You go about your business. Don't worry, no elders will come to cause trouble for you."

Lu Yun smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Thank you for your help, Dragon God."

"Haha, you little rascal, you're being so polite with this old man. I'm not used to it."

Zhang Chenglin laughed loudly, then casually annihilated the old men on the ground and turned to walk into the void rift.

"Alright, I won't keep you any longer. Lao Lu and I are going to join the fun!"

Watching the crack disappear, Lu Yun waved his hand to signal Zhang Yan and the others to take action, and then muttered to himself.

"Soaring through the air, shattering the void—is this the manifestation after level 1500?"

"It seems they really aren't much different from the legendary immortals."

He could fly through the air thanks to his flying skills and the enhancement of his domain, but Zhang Chenglin and the other hooded man showed no signs of using any skills. The difference between the two was obvious at a glance.

"You'll know when you reach level 1500."

Ye Hongyu spoke up for once, but Richard and the others had already disappeared, and now that there were no obstacles, exploring the ruins was the most important thing.

"I hope there are any living people inside."

Lu Yun muttered something to himself, then led the group to continue up the dilapidated steps.

But surprisingly, they didn't encounter a single monster.

After passing through the clouds and reaching the mountaintop, a vast expanse of dilapidated halls appeared before us, and then we saw many stone figures scattered across the open space.

"According to fantasy novels, these are the guardian beasts evolved from the mountain-protecting formation?"

"It should be."

Zhang Yan and his group of seven were very excited, and after glancing at the stone figures, they were not worried at all.

"With trillions of blood and around level 1600, it's definitely not something an ordinary person can do."

"Commander Lu, what should we do? Just charge in?"

"No need for that."

Lu Yun took out his staff and smiled.

"Just follow them inside."

Upon hearing this, everyone paused for a moment before excitedly following Lu Yun toward the central hall.

Because they all knew very well that Lu Yun was going to take action himself.

They had heard Qian Zhen and Song Wei talk about Lu Yun's strength before, and they were quite envious. Now that they could see it with their own eyes, it would definitely fulfill their dream of watching masters fight!

really.

The next second, Lu Yun gently waved his staff.

Suddenly, three-meter-high red flames ignited on the surrounding ground.

Before the stone golem with trillions of health points could even attack, it screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yan and the others exclaimed in surprise.

"My God? I'm not seeing things, am I? This must be at least a hundred meters long! Such a wide-range fire-attribute skill, could it be a forbidden spell?"

"But forbidden spells possess divine power, while this skill is utterly ordinary, it looks... like a minor skill?"

"A minor skill? Your minor skill is a hundred meters long? And can instantly kill a mythical monster with trillions of HP? Are you kidding me?"

"Holy crap... Lu Shuai's damage is way too overpowered..."

Everyone was amazed, having no idea how Lu Yun had leveled up. With such power, it was no wonder that the higher-ups valued Lu Yun so much.

Many people began to think that Lu Yun's profession rarity was definitely not gray-level or ordinary, but god-level.

Lu Yun paid no attention to this and continued leading the team forward, stepping into the main hall.

The main hall was somewhat dilapidated and empty.

It was completely different from what he had seen at the Ascension Sect, but Lu Yun felt that this place was much larger than the Ascension Sect, and it was definitely not that simple.

"Take a look around first."

"Yes, Commander Lu!"

Zhang Yan and his seven companions looked around with great curiosity, but apart from some load-bearing pillars, there didn't seem to be anything else.

No, there is a huge chair directly opposite, I don't know what material it is made of.

When Lu Yun led Ye Hongyi and the other person over, they found that it was just an ordinary stone chair, nothing special.

"Something's not right here."

Ye Hongyi glanced at the chair; it was really too ordinary.

Lu Yun stared at the chair for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked outside.

After a long silence, he spoke indifferently.

"Senior Sister...have you noticed a problem?"

"What?"

"It's too empty here."

"null?"

Ye Hongyi was taken aback and immediately realized the hidden meaning in Lu Yun's words.

Indeed, it's too empty here; there's nothing there.

Logically speaking, a site even larger than the Ascension Sect should not be without an alchemy room; at the very least, it should have left some traces or information.

But apart from the stone figures guarding the mountain, there's only this chair; there's nothing else in the entire ruins.

It's as if someone emptied this place out in advance.

But Ye Hongyi was certain that this was definitely the first time anyone had come here. Otherwise, would they really think Zhang Chenglin and his group were pushovers?

Moreover, there are no signs of any other biological activity here besides them, so something is really wrong here.

At this moment, Ye Hongyu spoke with a hint of suspicion.

"Is it possible... the people here knew a major war was coming and moved away beforehand?"

It's not impossible, but if that happens, a more serious problem will arise.

The continent has been shattered. Such a war that destroys the world must not be limited to just the Divine Fire Continent. So, in such a great war involving at least two continents, who could receive advance notice?

Or rather, who can survive such a great war?

This is completely unreasonable.

Perhaps there are indeed powerful beings on the Divine Fire Continent, but if they can shatter your continent into pieces, does that mean they don't have powerful beings themselves?

Therefore, Ye Hongyu's statement is incorrect, or rather, incomplete.

Suddenly, Lu Yun had a thought and realized a possibility.

He quickly bent down and began to feel around the chair.

"This place is so clean, they must have moved out, but not necessarily before, perhaps..."

Lu Yun was taken aback. Then, his eyes lit up when he saw a small magic circle on the back of the chair.

These marks must be at least thousands of years old, otherwise the stone carving wouldn't be so blurry. Of course, Lu Yun's excitement wasn't about discovering the magic circle, but rather that the magic circle was absorbing his magic points!

This was the first time he had ever encountered something that actively absorbed magic points, and he immediately knew that his guess was correct!

"They...moved away during the war..."

"Buzz!!!"

With a soft hum, a beam of white light suddenly burst forth from the front of the chair back, instantly striking the very center of the hall.

With a buzzing sound, a pure white frameless teleportation portal soon appeared before everyone's eyes.
