The Sacred Ruins Chapter 566 - As Exceptional as Ever

Time had flown by, and the universe had aged.

The woman from those days had appeared once again and was standing at the top of the Heavenly Vine.

The faint gold Heavenly Vine was an extraordinary life form. It was sonorous when its leaves moved, and it was absorbing starlight from the universe, completely translucent and sparkling.

In the end, it seemed as though a star gathered on every single leaf. Together they were like numerous starry specks, emitting brilliant light.

Yaoyao stood atop the leaves of this Heavenly Vine, which extended into the outer realms. Accompanied by the splendid starlight, she looked down in every direction. Her white dress danced in the air as if she were about to ride the wind and ascend to become an immortal. Her beautiful hair flew up, and her charm was exceptional.

“It’s really you, here with the Heavenly Vine again!”

Luo Hong, the Deity race’s saint, was the first to speak. He was a saint from the ancient times and had survived to this day having pa.s.sed many years. As before, he still looked middle-aged, but now his expression was rather complicated.

Yaoyao’s beauty was indeed rather ephemeral with strands of mist curling around her luminous face. It was almost dream-like. Her beautiful eyes were full of depth and divine brilliance would shoot out from them from time to time. She was emotional when recalling the past but quickly became boundlessly domineering as she looked across the vast universe.

Her bright red lips were slightly parted in a somewhat frustrated smile. Then, her aura changed drastically. She possessed a kind of supremacy and resplendence greater than time itself.

Her mood had changed completely and this wasn’t her style. If it was, back then, she wouldn’t have stood here alone after the other prodigies of the younger generation on Earth had withered away and fled. She faced the attacks and challenges of dao children and saintesses from all over the universe, destroying their supreme golden bodies. Their divine halos had faded away and were all either struck dead or ended up running away in defeat. No one dared claim themselves as her senior in front of her. They all bent their knees and bowed their head, and this quietened the entire starry skies!

“Is Luo Yu still alive?”

Luo Hong’s complexion froze at what Yaoyao said. Her words also made the hearts of great figures within the starry skies shake. It was unexpected that she would directly mention that person from the Deity race.

The Winged G.o.dhead of those days was the Deity race’s strongest genius since the beginning of its history. He was to be groomed into becoming the strongest man within the universe, and his power was so terrifying it made others of his generation miserable.

This was exactly whom Yaoyao had named and challenged when she was at the brink of death with a wounded body.

This was because back then, geniuses from various races had launched a large-scale invasion on her territory. They wanted to tear down her halo as the number one under the starry skies. In the end, she defeated them, beheading some and killing the rest. As a result, the Deity race hesitated and was rather afraid of sending Luo Yu to battle. But in the end, he was called upon by Yaoyao.

The Winged G.o.dhead, having reached the later stages of his growth, had energy and radiance lingering around his body. He was invincible and it seemed as though immortal feathers were growing out from his body. They revolved around him, obliterating all forms of adversities as he ascended to G.o.dhood.

Eventually, Luo Yu was enraged and rushed to the region just outside Earth. It was here that he fought against Yaoyao.

In the end, that battle served as Yaoyao’s farewell fight where she killed the last heaven bestowed genius of the universe.

She clearly knew that the Deity race was the unseen culprit to all the bloodshed and chaos. Therefore, she was determined until the last moment, calling on the Winged G.o.dhead Luo Yu to fight her even when she was heavily injured herself.

That was the ache of the Deity race. She had directly wiped out all their hopes, dealing a blow to their boldness of swallowing the universe.

But some say that Luo Yu managed to survive and was brought back to life by his race’s ancient ancestors. They say he was secluded in a mysterious s.p.a.ce deep within the Deity Planet.

Yaoyao had an intangible temperament and wasn’t recalling the past too much. She was very calm, even gentle and light in her words as she said, “It doesn’t matter. Even if he is still alive, Chu Feng will kill him again later.”

These statements and remarks almost made this part of the starry skies explode. It shook many so much that their ears rang. Chu Feng would kill Luo Yu again if he was still alive?

This kind of self-confidence and dominance was unique to Yaoyao’s style.

This made many believe that this was indeed her, as her temperament would never change.

The corners of Luo Hong’s mouth trembled ever so slightly and his eyes became incomparably cold. Through her declaration, Yaoyao was not only looking down on his race’s Winged G.o.dhead as before but was also making light of him.

This was because her words implied that Yaoyao had never considered that Chu Feng would be killed and defeated today. Where did this saint stand in her mind?

From start to finish, Yaoyao had ignored and disregarded him.

Suddenly, the Deity race’s saint was furious—how dare she despise him? Over the years not many had dared act so frivolous and pay no attention to him.

He was a saint, moreover, he was one from the ancient times. In addition, he was from the Deity race. All of this added up together signified that his fighting power greatly exceeded other people’s, and that he was ranked amongst the most outstandingly terrifying group of creatures under the starry skies.

Chu Feng stood atop the fighting platform wearing a bitter smile. Yaoyao’s words had pushed him into the teeth of the storm and many would be watching him attentively.

Of course, he was already a target of attention in the eyes of many people.

But he also knew this was Yaoyao’s personal temperament. This was a further test for him, a rather cruel way of strengthening him.

What would he be facing against in the future? Naturally, Chu Feng knew that if he couldn’t even pa.s.s this hurdle, how could he rise in the future and sweep away all his enemies?!

Yaoyao wanted him to mature through the countless difficulties, as he would be facing even scarier things in the future. If he couldn’t even cope with the present situation, then there would be no hope for him in the future.

On Earth, Yuchi Kong frowned as he sat upon the green bamboo boat on a mountain peak in Kunlun. He had heard Yaoyao’s words, and it left an indescribable feeling in his heart that she regarded Chu Feng so importantly. She should know that the true chosen one was here!

There was another person on the luminous green bamboo boat. He sat there cross-legged, covered by the mist and was quiet and motionless. It was indeed Zhou Shang, the Innocuous G.o.dhead.

The Earth’s current chosen one was strangely taciturn. It was clear that he wasn’t in a good mood!

“You’re the true chosen one!” Yuchi Kong said.

Outside the Earth.

“Princess Yao’s manners are as before, overlooking the starry skies with such self-confidence.”

In the distance, the saints began to speak. They had survived from back then, and in fact, there were some amongst them who had once fought against Yaoyao. They were once firmly suppressed, so they were now wrought with complicated emotions.

Meanwhile, there were some chariots nearby full of intense energy, as well as some carriages made of crystal-clear materials. Out of them came people in succession, all of them with extraordinary bearings.

When others saw this, they took in gulps of cold air and were deeply astonished.

This was because these were all great figures. They had only seen some of them in picture scrolls before. Their appearances had been recorded in the notes of their later generations through blurry images.

Now, these ancient saints had appeared themselves, gracing the area with their presence!

“Ah, she’s ultimately dead. What remains doesn’t even count as a remnant spirit. There’s no hope for resurrection.”

A saintess said in a discordant voice. She was very beautiful but also rather haughty as she looked down toward the universe’s former number one.

Yaoyao shot a glance at her and chuckled. She said nothing but gently waved a finger at her.

“Back then, Yaoyao took out a heaven-chosen G.o.ddess with ten moves, disabling her with a flip of her palm. It’s this saintess.” Someone revealed surrept.i.tiously, transmitting it through spiritual waves.

Everyone became tumultuous once this got out. The saintess raged with murderous intent and wore an unsightly expression.

“Princess Yaoyao, what a pity. Back then, she was absolutely magnificent.” Another saint sighed, overtly revering her. There was a certain warmth within his eyes.

This att.i.tude made many speechless.

In those days, Yaoyao was known as the number one in the starry skies. Not only was this reflected on the path of her evolution, but this was also shown in her manner and looks as flocks of her male enemies admired her inwardly.

As for the heaven bestowed ladies from back then, they felt complicated emotions. Their splendor had been completely drowned out and suppressed by that person’s magnificence.

“I’m here to watch the fight. When is it starting?” Yaoyao said, playing it down.

Everyone had a feeling that even though this wasn’t Yaoyao’s true body from the olden days, she was still full of pride in front of the group of saints. She looked down at the great figures in disdain.

This was because they were all opponents she had once defeated!

In addition, it was unexpectedly difficult for these saints to feel higher and mightier than her. Male or female, they felt rather unnatural around her.

“Come!”

People from the origin beast platform had arrived and started to set up the place. Not only did battles at the same realm require a comprehensive consciousness platform to be constructed, they also needed things like “soul stones” to be integrated into it for suppression.

If not, how else could a saint’s cultivation be reduced? This could only be done with soul stones, one of the treasures of heaven and earth!

Naturally, the origin beast platform, being one of the biggest fighting and streaming platforms in the universe, possessed such supreme and divine objects.

Soul stones wouldn’t be needed if ordinary evolvers wanted to battle at the same realm. Other divine items could be used to suppress them instead.

Reportedly, soul stones have indescribable spiritual seals that could stifle souls and suppress spiritual powers!

At this moment, a constellation vine emerged from a wormhole and became entwined with the Heavenly Vine. Together, they constructed the realm of consciousness and formed the battleground.

People from the origin beast platform came with no less than three soul stones. They placed it down here, and it merged with the Heavenly Vine and the constellation vine!

Everyone drew in breaths of cold air. One soul stone would’ve been enough to conduct any kind of suppression and support the battle between the saints. Yet, to everyone’s surprise, the origin beast platform had brought three stones with them. This was all they had, and they brought them all along. They weren’t holding back at all.

One could imagine that they were taking this very seriously. They wanted a fair fight while also considering all kinds of complex situations to avoid outsiders intervening.

Immediately, the Deity race’s saint Luo Hong’s complexion became rather dull. This was clearly unfavorable for him as he was a saint. If there were really any flaws on the platform, naturally, he could exploit them for his own gain to seize the upper hand. That way, he could overpower Chu Feng to death.

But now, with them being so strict, it was simply impossible that any “accidents” would occur. From his point of view, this was rather disrespectful toward the Deity race and somewhat hostile.

“Luo Hong, come on!”

Chu Feng was already standing upon the fighting platform. Here, the leaves of the Heavenly Vine formed the ground. It looked like an island, floating in mid-air, and surrounding it were boundlessly gigantic meteorites.

Luo Hong’s face sank. Taking one step after another, he approached the platform before stepping onto the constellation vine. There, he stood motionless as a ball of incredibly powerful spiritual energy broke off from his body. It followed the vine and merged into the battlefield!

A group of experts from the Deity race then appeared, protecting his body.

Bang!

Once Luo Hong’s spiritual form had been absorbed into the platform, the sound of thunder boomed out. Bolts of incomparably splendid lightning flashed out and weaved together.

Just how powerful was the saint’s spirit? The multi-colored brilliance was almost devilish, and it was terrifying beyond compare.

However, even though the constellation vine was swaying, the Heavenly Vine was steady and stable. It didn’t move a single bit and was able to bear it all.

In addition, it was at this moment that the three soul stones began to glow together. They a.s.sembled into a stable shape, forming a fair and reasonable suppressed s.p.a.ce which covered the area.

Boom!

The Deity race’s saint Luo Hong was firmly suppressed. The saturation levels of energy within his body dropped constantly until finally, he was at the same level as Chu Feng. His cultivation was also steeply declining.

It was clear that this was absolutely just, and that there were no sentiments to speak of. They wouldn’t go easy anyone, even if the Deity race from the top-ten came in.

“Little Lin, thank you.” Yaoyao glanced toward the depths of the starry skies.

The origin beast platform was founded by a man called Lin Qi. It was evident that all this was related to him, as the golden account “Yaoyao Becomes Immortal” had been preserved for all these years.

“At least I’m not late!” A Dragon-Scaled Heavenly Horse came rus.h.i.+ng out of a super wormhole, neighing loudly. Atop the lofty divine horse sat a man dressed in black golden armor. He had a terrifying aura like a demonic G.o.d.

Gasp!

Some drew in breaths of cold air as they recognized who he was. This was a devil child of the Origin Demon Race from one of the top ten planets. He had actually rushed over here!

Following this, there was the sound of chariots rumbling as dozens of people rushed out from various super wormholes. They were of different ages and came from a variety of races.

This changed the countenances of many. Those who came at the last minute all had intimidating origins.

“The dao child Ying Wudi from the Quasi-Immortal Race, one of the Ten Greats, has arrived!”

“One of the Top-Tens, the Vajra Bodhisattva, is here. So is the young Buddha from his race!”

“The Deity race’s saintess Luo Lan has rushed here herself. She too is a beauty ranked tenth under the starry skies. She is indeed devastatingly beautiful!”

…

Several incredibly well-known figures had rushed here at the last moment. These included famous guests and saints from the Top Ten, as well as the strongest of those among the universe’s younger generation. Exceptional beauties ranked toward the top of the ladder also appeared in succession.

Some had come because of Chu Feng, while others purely wanted to see Yaoyao.

“Mn, is it possible for anything to go wrong with our saint doing this?” Luo Lan, the saintess from the Deity race, asked the old woman beside her.

“There shouldn’t be a problem,” the old woman said. She explained further that Luo Hong had already perfected and polished the dao fruits he had obtained since his youth. He was naturally flawless within the carefree and visualization realms. He would most certainly be victorious in the fight.

“He should have no issues crus.h.i.+ng that native!” the old woman said in an a.s.sured manner before adding, “who does he think he is, challenging a saint?!”

Regardless, it had been over a thousand years since a low-leveled evolver had dared to challenge a saint. This was a grand occasion.

Bang!

The battle broke out upon the fighting platform. The first meeting face-to-face had already made everyone else dumbstruck. In particular, the old woman from the Deity race became flabbergasted.

Chu Feng was like a ball of golden burning flames as his vitality soared. He was incredibly frightening, as well as extremely quick. He had refined the secret method World’s End Near at Hand and expressed it to its utmost power.

At this moment, he leaped up into the air, crossing the skies like a celestial horse and kicked Luo Hong’s face with a bang. And this was only the first attack!

This contorted Luo Hong’s face, inflicting extreme pain upon him!

He was simply too fast!

How could this be? The people found it hard to understand and couldn’t believe it!

“Luo ‘Jun Tuo Egg’, pay with your life now!” Chu Feng screeched. This man bore sins and the blood of his ancestors covered his hands. He had even killed two of the Earth’s saints. He had to kill this person here and now!

In the starry skies, the face of the ancient saint Jun Tuo face twitched. At that moment, he really wanted to curse. d.a.m.n it, was he going to get unjustly attacked all his life?!
