The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 785: An Unsealable Coffin

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

A neat row of feet flew out of the dark vortex... It was a strange sight to behold that it nearly made all the old monsters from Dameng Pure Lands go mad. Something like this had never happened before. If something were to happen to the group of geniuses this time, the Dameng Pure Lands would surely be in a lot of trouble.

“He’s awake, this little ancestor has finally recovered. Quickly, ask him what happened.” An old monster, upon seeing the Superfluous Combat Physique open his eyes, let out a sigh of relief.

The most important thing was that he was still alive. Even if his soul was really damaged, it could be repaired over time.

“Divine Son, how are you feeling?” An old lady asked gently, through a friendly smile.

The Superfluous Combat Physique brutishly pushed the old lady away, immediately upsetting the old female elders. How could he be so rude?

She almost lost her temper, wanting to teach this youngster a lesson in respect.

However, at this moment, the Superfluous Combat Physique sat down. His pupils were flickering, almost as though he was in serious and profound thought.

He started speaking slowly, “Who am I? Where am I from, and where am I going?”

The old lady wanted to slap him and teach him a lesson. Even after acting so rude to her, he still dared to act smug!

However, one of the old monsters stopped her. “Stop, the Superfluous Combat Physique is truly impressive. He’s found the dao and is in a wondrous state of mind. Meditate on his questions, they contain profound wisdom, and concepts. How impressive, this child! He’s already contemplating these things at such a young age, he’s seeking the dao!”

The old lady’s expression immediately changed. She nodded vigorously, saying, “You’re right!” Her expression also became serious.

In actuality, Chu Feng had chopped up the Superfluous Combat Physique and left him with half a foot. The Superfluous Combat Physique’s spirit was so badly damaged that he couldn’t even remember who he was. He was muttering to himself, trying to make heads and tails of who he was and what was going on.

“This one is awake too. Why has he not said anything?”

Another person opened his eyes, but he kept staring forward blankly, not moving a muscle.

“This is the Violet Dao Body, violet dao blood flows inside him. This kind of bloodline allows him to easily understand the dao. Is he receiving a revelation too?” An old monster said with suspicion.

“Lun... Hui!” the Violet Golden Dao Body finally started speaking. His eyes lit up. Then he stopped moving and his eyes looked forward once again. The deep gaze and radiant beams from his eyes almost seemed like they could penetrate the void.

One of the elders let out a sigh. “As expected of the Violet Gold Dao Body. What exactly did he experience? He’s comprehending the cycle of reincarnation! Quite impressive, but unfortunately, he came back too early. If not, he would have been able to appreciate something even more profound. Let’s not disturb him. Give him time to understand it in solitude. This is reincarnation we’re talking about here!”

The two old ladies at his side nodded their heads seriously in agreement.

In truth, the Violet Dao Body loathed Wu Lunhui. The man had actually chopped him into pieces and only left him with one leg. He had uttered “Lun Hui” because he hated Wu Lunhui to the bone. When he said aloud, “Lunhui”, it was meant to curse his name. Unfortunately, his memory was so poor that he forgot to say the surname “Wu” completely.

“One of the heaven-bestowed geniuses of the Buddhist race has also awakened.” An old lady stared at this Buddhist race member, the Guardian Vajra Shi Wu, seriously fearing something could happen. That was because this buddhist race member was one of the most powerful in the universe. It would be terrible if something were to happen to such a person.

“Young Buddha Shi Wu, how are you feeling?” the old lady quietly asked. She felt that Shi Wu’s expression looked too vacant, disorderly almost.

Her heart skipped a beat with worry.

However, a moment later, one hand pointing to the sky, one hand pointing to the earth, Shiwu thundered out, “Only I have supremacy over the heaven and earth!”

In an instant, all the elders in the shrine became shocked. Their pupils widened as they stared at the golden Buddhist aura emerging from Shi Wu as he stood there motionless.

“Let’s go back now, don’t disturb him. His Buddha nature is too strong. Is he undergoing enlightenment? Don’t tell me he’s laying down the strongest foundation of the Buddhist Race?”

The group of old monsters was shaken. All of them withdrew because they didn’t want to disturb him.

In fact, Shi Wu was projecting a wondrous vision here because he had suffered too badly in the other world. Not only did Chu Feng chop him up again and again, only leaving a leg, but Ouyang toad also had a prod at him with the spirit blade. This buddhist race member was driven to the brink of madness.

He was too agitated. At the last juncture, he envisioned himself as a true Buddha with a peerless body. Then, he would never have been suppressed and would be able to defeat the monster Chu Feng and that toad.

Thus, when his broken soul returned, he had a deep longing to become stronger, and his desire was realized.

The pure lands shrine became peaceful as soon as the old monsters retreated. The heaven-bestowed geniuses were left to contemplate the dao.

At the same time, they were also discussing who was the last to come back.

“I suspect it is Luo Shirong. After all, his way with the dao is quite profound. He is from the Primal Chaotic Deity Palace.

“Right. It should be him. Lately, he has been sitting cross-legged on the ground, steady as a rock. It’s possible that he is the last to awaken.”

The group of old monsters all agreed.

In actuality, everyone had already returned. Luo Shirong was not capable of awakening, for Chu Feng had completely destroyed him. There was no soul left to return.

“Yes. Then let’s quietly wait here and see what these geniuses who comprehended the dao can come up with. Let’s see who is the last to return!”

If they embraced this idea, then the outcome would surely be wonderful.

In the other world, Chu Feng, with his powerful magic, had now truly come to embody a great devil. He exterminated the Superfluous Combat Physique, killed the Violet Dao Body, and even defeated Shi Wu...

Now, with all his effort, he rushed to activate the spirit bell and broke Shi Hong’s arm off. He took it away and put it inside the spirit bell for refining.

“Young buddha, your arm has fallen off. Come quick and retrieve it.”

“Amitabha Buddha!” Shi Hong no longer kept his buddhist dignity—three geniuses have been killed, he had taken all that he could bear. Seeing someone use the spirit bell to shake his arm off and refine it into divine granules, his anger flared up immensely.

“Brother Yuan, I’m sorry. I lost control just then and shook off your thigh. This is the strength of my spirit, after all. Self-cultivate for a time and it will recover. Please guard your pride and remain calm.” Chu Feng started to speak.

Inside the bell was also Yuan Shicheng’s leg, disintegrating into a shower of spiritual light grains. From afar, Yuan Shicheng’s face became as black as the bottom of a pan.

Winged Godhead also felt livid. He lacked a leg as well, and his hatred was to the point of madness.

Suddenly, Chu Feng’s heart jumped. He felt the end of days had moved closer. He raised his head and looked into the distance, at the tranquil expanse. His soul had somewhat of a reaction.

Meanwhile, outside the battlefield from far away, the silver-haired lolita shouted, “How terrible! I want to weep. I feel as if the sky has collapsed, and a great calamity has descended.”

This princess had an acute feeling that exceeded many people, and had a reaction almost at the same time as Chu Feng.

Boom!

From the horizon, a formless pressure arrived. Everyone’s expression turned bad.

“The yang qi has reached terrifying levels. Run!” someone screamed.

Evidently, that formless pressure was approaching too quickly. At this time. everyone could see it—a sanguine ray rushing through the sky, enveloping its azure dome and approaching ever closer, as if a great peril would encompass the earth and heavens.

“What great horror is this?”

“Run for your lives!”

All the spectators of the battle started to flee, even Qin Luoyin didn’t have a moment’s hesitation. With her, several hundred followers of Dameng Pure Land fled. If they delayed any longer, they would no doubt lose their lives.

To the spirit bodies, those with too much yang were too harmful. It was enough for them to collapse into pieces and then set alight, until they become ash.

On the edge of the horizon, the roar of beasts and the long cries of birds could be heard. There was a great change in the world, like a mountain torrent, coming over all the land at a tremendous speed.

More than ten thousand powerful cavalrymen rushed toward them. There was no shortage of golden arhats amongst their ranks.

The cavalry, beasts, and birds rushed together, an incredible view to witness. It was enough to even scare the saints.

Chu Feng let out a sigh. There was no more time to deal with Jin Lin, Shi Hong, Winged Godhead, or anyone else. This world’s evolution caused the appearance of an army!

Wasting time would mean death. With all these forces together, it would be impossible to overcome them. Even if a mountain of Taigu Gods came from the heavens, they would still be defeated.

“We’re free. Let’s run for our lives.” Chu Feng withdrew from the field, no longer connecting to the blood-colored mountain peak’s lightning and letting everyone regain their freedom.

Ouyang Feng urgently pressed him, “What are you doing? Why are you releasing them?”

Chu Feng lowered his voice, “Let them go. Let them flee together, with the cavalry”

Sure enough, everyone started to run for their lives. The spectators, the Dameng Pure Land members, even the escapees, rushed away.

Chu Feng grabbed Ouyang Feng and they immediately disappeared. Chu Feng took toad with him to another hidden field to go into hiding.

In an instant, they became separated from the outside world.

Boom...

Thousands of soldiers and horses rushed to pursue and kill all the spiritual bodies.

“Don’t let even one getaway. These creatures from another plane are useful for the god’s experiments. They are valuable resources, and they possess a way to enlightenment.”

Someone shouted with all their energy, his words shaking through the battlefield.

The army charged at the spirit bodies, the sound of their shouts could be heard from far away. Some of the spiritual bodies were overtaken, exploding from the fierce attack of those with rushing vitality. They wouldn’t be taken back alive.

“Be careful, these are yang spirits from the yang realm. Your yang is too much, and there are so many people. Together, this yang qi is enough to make them collapse.”

Ouyang Feng, upon hearing this became deathly white. He was a mythological beast, but in these circumstances, there was nothing that could be done. He had to submit to the will of heaven. This was too much for him and Chu Feng.

The evolving army had loyalty to certain gods, their yang qi was enormous. Nature was the bane of these spiritual bodies.

Finally, the army arrived. Chu Feng gazed toward the battlefield and saw a few people had still not left. There were still golden arhats and people of the transformation realm left.

Finally, the last two golden arhats left. Rushing toward the blood-colored peak, they went to observe the ground watered by the blood of the mythical beasts.

Now, only four people were left. Chu Feng felt this was too dangerous. There were still golden arhats, but he had no more energy to fight. Not long before, he and Ouyang Feng’s strength had soared.

“Ah! There is a yang spirit observing!” a youngster chided in. His hands were holding a jewel lens that made yin and yang visible. He could use this to see the yang qi nearby.

“Little Noble God is truly keen at observing!” A knight praised him.

Little Noble God was of high status. His power was enough to be a golden body. His body was covered in golden green armor.

Chu Feng grabbed Ouyang Feng and took them out of their hiding place; they couldn’t escape any longer.

“Yang spirit, what about Luo Shirong?” the Little Noble said.

Chu Feng’s eyes slowly recognized him; this was the man who had reached an agreement with Luo Shirong, the leader of the troops. He even brought a large army to destroy the spirit bodies.

“Little Noble, you are too late. Lu Shirong had no choice but to lead us and a bunch of first rate geniuses into a bloody battle. Unfortunately, he died during battle.”

“Who are you?” Little Noble asked.

“I am Yan Luo of the corpse race, he is the Superfluous Combat Physique. He was friends with Luo Shirong. Our troops battled against those people. Unfortunately, Brother Luo perished,” Chu Feng replied.

“Ah. Luo Shirong most certainly has mentioned your names before. It’s too bad I arrived just a little too late,” Little Noble replied.

Chu Feng nodded his head and said, “Yes. Brother Luo promised to give us a special technique. So we are willing to see this battle out. After we finish, we will meet with you again.”

“Very good. We won’t lose hope this time. I need your cooperation. Carefully tell me what happened in that universe,” Little Noble said, satisfied.

“Little Noble, what about the special technique?” Chu Feng once again brought it up.

The Little Hou Elder furrowed his brow. Finally, he handed a magnet to Chu Feng. In it, a special technique was recorded. “This is for you.”

“Thank you very much, Little Noble!” Chu Feng said through a smile.

Next to him, Ouyang Feng looked on in bewilderment. Although Chu Feng was one of his own, but he still wondered, could Chu Feng and this boy really be such Jun Tuo eggs and obtain a special technique just like that?

Ouyang Feng thought, “Luo Shirong really couldn’t be sealed away in a coffin. He would surely climb out of the ground and challenge Chu Feng. He was dead and that was that, yet Chu Feng was using his death for his own benefit. What a lack of virtue, what a lack of morals!”
