According to these people, this young man was acting like this just because he wanted to enter the ruin.
But just as the young man was about to enter the huge red gate, immediately, a few scornful gazes glanced at him and a big fellow with stubble on his beard said coldly while looking at this young man, "Little brat, your strength is low yet you actually dare to enter. You truly do not know your limits."
"None of your business!" That Young man said coldly and continue to move forward toward the huge red gate without giving a damn about what these people were thinking or going to do.
Ye Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw that young man. That young man was actually Lin Hao!
At this moment, there was a large group of spectators who were looking at Lin Hao playfully while gloating in their hearts. There was only one thought in their mind and that was: this brat is in big trouble now.
Ye Xiao looked at Lin Hao's fearless attitude. He knew that there is going to be a good show to watch.
Sure enough, facing such a large group of people surrounding him, Lin Hao fearlessly and indifferently looked down on them.
He coldly said, "All of you, scram quickly otherwise what will happen next would have nothing to do with me?"
"Humph, how dare you! Are you threatening us?"
"This kid is really insensible, let's cripple him!"
A wave of insults sounded out. Everyone was furious at Lin Hao's fearless attitude.
"In any case, you will die even after you enter the ruin by the hands of Liang Zhong. So, why not let me grant you that wish!" A young man who was at the Fourth Stage of Martial King Realm took the initiative to attack.
His palm concentrated spirit energy as he struck towards Lin Hao's chest.
Seeing this, Lin Hao's eyes were as cold as ice!
When the palm of that young man was about to strike Lin Hao, at that moment, Lin Hao pulled out his sword and made a slash in the air.
An arc of light was drawn in the air like lightning as it destroyed the young man's palm attack. Not only this, that arc of light also cut down the young man's body into two pieces.
After killing that young man, Lin Hao looked at the crowd who wanted to cripple him just now, raised the sword, and shouted, "Transversing Shadow Sword, First Slash, Destroy All Things!"
The Sword in his hand shot out waves of sharp sword qi that swept in all directions, and exactly at this moment, one could hear many heart-tearing and lung-splitting screams.
In an instant, over twenty Third Stage and above Martial King Realm Martial artists were all killed by Lin Hao's sword, it was clean and tidy!
Seeing this scene, the faces of the remaining spectators instantly turned pale in fright. They retreated quickly as if they'd seen a ghost, not daring to utter a single word of nonsense.
Transversing Shadow Sword, this martial arts technique was something Lin Hao received from the Broken Sword in his sea of consciousness when he saw the Broken Sword for the very first time.
Previously, he was unable to cultivate this sword technique because it required him to comprehend at least the first stage of the Sword Way, Sword Light.
After Lin Hao successfully comprehended the Sword Light, he had already started to practice the First Slash of the Transversing Shadow Sword.
Now that he had already comprehended the Sword Intent, he was able to execute the First Slash of the Transversing Shadow Sword with its full power.
What was more, Lin Hao did not even used the Sword Intent while executing the First Slash of the Transversing Shadow Sword and the effect was already so terrifying. If he were to really use the Sword Intent, who knows what kind of terrifying thing would have happened.
Ye Xiao was also shocked to the point where he even forgot to breathe for a long while.
When Lin Hao attacked, Ye Xiao immediately saw through his cultivation. Lin Hao was now already a martial artist at the Fourth Stage of the Martial King Realm, only one stage lower than his Ye Xiao's cultivation.
Lin Hao's speed of improvement also greatly shocked him. He never thought that Lin Hao could improve so fast.
He still remembered when Lin Hao told him about the opportunity he got and how his cultivation started to increase by leap and bound.
Although Ye Xiao never thought of comparing Lin Hao's fortuitous encounter with the Heavenly Pearl, but at this moment, he believed that Lin Hao's fortuitous encounter also heaven defying.
"Ahh!"
0When others saw the scene where Lin Hao killed more than twenty Martial King Realm martial artists with a single move, they immediately covered their mouth, feeling as if their heart was about to jump out.
Only Ye Xiao was casually standing as if this was within his expectations.
Although Ye Xiao also did not expect this, his expectation for Lin Hao was also no less than this, and only because of this, he was able to calm down very quickly.
After killing those people, Lin Hao coldly glanced at the spectators and then once again walked toward the huge red gate and entered the ruin after passing this gate.
Ye Xiao took a long breath and jumped forward, creating countless afterimages, he also entered the ruin after passing the huge gate.
The surrounding crowd all looked on dumbly. No one daring to mock or tried to stop Lin Hao or Ye Xiao.
How could they dare to step forward to stop them once again?
All these people fear death the most. Lin Hao's previous attack was so terrifying that it had already left a mark in everyone's heart.
They were still immersed in the might of Lin Hao's one sword strike just now. All of their faces were pale, their hands and feet had gone limp, and some still had fear in their hearts.
The ruin had been opened and Ye Xiao, Lin Hao, and others entered the ruins.
Ye Xiao's eyes lit up as he entered the cave. He looked into the cave and exclaimed in his heart.
As soon as he entered the cave, he found that this place was actually not as simple as it looked on the outside. The moment he entered the cave, he actually continued to walk downwards, and this place became even more spacious and boundless. At least a hundred miles wide.
This underground palace stretched all the way down to the ground, and as a result, the ground became extremely warm.
Streams of scarlet rivers interweaved and they were also releasing scorching heat.
These rivers were like streams of lava, it was so hot that Ye Xiao started to feel like burning.
As Ye Xiao walked on the scorching ground, he calmly observed his surroundings.
Aside from scorching red flame in the lava, he noticed that this place was a completely black piece of land, covered with cracks like charcoal.
In addition, as the cold wind blew over, Ye Xiao felt like he was in a cemetery. He could smell the scent of death, it was truly worthy of being a ruin inside the Secret Realm.
As he walked on the scorched ground, his heels were attacked by a gust of hot air.
However, there were strands of cold air penetrating into his heart, causing Ye Xiao to feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Be careful! I can feel the presence of an Immortal here!"
Suddenly, Ye Xiao heard the voice of Divine Soul Emperor Dragon. When he heard the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon saying that it could feel the presence of an Immortal here, Ye Xiao was sp surprised that he almost exclaimed out loud.
He hurriedly calmed his breath that he unknowingly started to suck in loudly and heavily.
He looked in his surrounding but did not see anything so he kept walking.
Soon he met Lin Hao who was also looking at the surrounding carefully.
Feeling the presence of someone behind his back, Lin Hao hurriedly turned back and saw Ye Xiao.
"It's you! You also came!" Lin Hao said with a surprised look.
"Yeah! Those red pillars of light were piercing in the sky, how could I not see that and after seeing those pillars of light, only a fool would not come here!"
Ye Xiao nodded his head and said with a smile on his face. He once again said, "I saw what you did outside. You becoming more and more powerful. I am afraid if I were to slack off even a little, you will once again surpass me."
"That is for sure. You might not believe me but my target, for the time being, is to surpass you!"
Lin Hao nodded his head and said while looking at Ye Xiao carefully. He could see Ye Xiao's cultivation which was at the Fifth Stage of the Martial King Realm easily after all Ye Xiao deliberately did not hide his cultivation level.
Previously, after encountering some fortuitous encounter in the Secret Realm, his cultivation increase by leaps and bound, reaching the Fourth Stage of the Martial King Realm.
At that time, he thought that he has already surpassed Ye Xiao in terms of cultivation but now, he was once again surprised to see Ye Xiao's cultivation which was above him.
Looks like I need to work harder than before!" Ye Xiao laughed loudly and then said with a serious look, "Lin Hao, this place is unknown and the dangers here are also unknown to us. Why don't we move together!"
Lin Hao nodded his head in agreement without even thinking for a second time and said, "Yup! Let us move together."
With this, both Ye Xiao and Lin Hao started to explore this unknown place carefully. Both of them did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Ye Xiao did not tell Lin Hao about the Immortal that Divine Soul Emperor Dragon told him about after all, if Lin Hao were to ask how Ye Xiao knew this, what would he answer him?
"Hmm?"
In front of him, there were a few experts at the Sixth and Seventh Stage of the Martial King Realm walking slowly.
Suddenly a young man turned his head and saw Ye Xiao and Lin Hao. He observed the two of them and felt their strength, and immediately felt a sense of astonishment in his heart.
This was an ancient ruin, and dangers existed everywhere. Even with the strength above the Fifth Stage of the Martial King Realm, the slightest bit of carelessness can cause one to lose one's life.
However, being surprised was being surprised, that the young man did not pay much attention to the both of them. After all, the main reason why they came here was to obtain a lucky chance.
Lin Hao's expression was normal. His eyes swept across every inch of the land and he stared at the magma river in front of him.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a strange low roar drifted away from a short distance away. It was a low and hoarse sound just like the roar of a beast. It was ice-cold and brutal as though it was a person.
This strange roar was eerie and desolate, causing many gazes to gather towards it.
Ye Xiao followed the voice and looked at the charred ground in front of him. It was as if something heavy had struck it. The entire area had caved in, forming a half-circle hole. In that caved ground, there was a gigantic skeleton with black bones, it looked like a giant.
The entire skeleton seemed to have been asleep for many years, its bones were dyed black.
"What kind of creature's bone is this?" Lin Hao muttered. Curiosity was leaking out of his eyes.
This huge corpse was about fifteen meters tall and the shape of it was just like a human but its height was too high and it was definitely not a human's corpse.
Let's go take a look." Ye Xiao said to Lin Hao and the two of them then went to the corpse and observed it from a close distance.
A terrifying pressure was suddenly emitted from the enormous skeleton the moment they approached it, and a strange aura spread. The pressure made Ye Xiao and Lin Hao clench their fists. They had no choice but to endure this.
Swoosh!
Few other figures also instantly descended. They all were above the Fourth Stage of the Martial King Realm. All of them looked at the remains of the skeleton with curiosity. Shock could be seen in their eyes as clear as water.
Ye Xiao's expression did not change as he walked closer to the corpse. The intense pressure fell on his body as he walked forward.
He walked quickly to the side of the giant skeleton with a calm gaze and swept his gaze across every inch of the skeleton.
The light in Ye Xiao's eyes wavered slightly. This skeleton must be extraordinary to be able to cause such pressure. His curiosity grew even stronger toward this skeleton.
Ye Xiao was not the only one who walked toward the skeleton. Lin Hao was also with him.
"These two brats are not simple."
Some of the geniuses that were over thirty meters away gasped in astonishment. Even they did not dare to approach this skeleton too closely because of the pressure emitted by the skeleton but Ye Xiao and Lin Hao dared to move.
As Ye Xiao and Lin Hao got closer to the skeleton, every step they took became heavier and heavier. Their fists were clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard and their bones were constantly emitting popping sounds.
However, this did not affect their pace in the slightest. They gritted their teeth, endured all the pain, and continue to move toward the skeleton.
After a moment, both Ye Xiao and Lin Hao arrived at the sunken area where a large corpse was displayed. They started to observe it carefully.
Roar~
That aggrieved roar came out from the skeleton once again. When Ye Xiao was close to the skeleton's head while observing it carefully, a cold Qi spread out, causing his hair to stand.
Exactly at this time, an even more terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire land.
Roar~
Although the roars were low in volume, they were still rather ear-piercing to the ears of the crowd. All of them immediately frowned. This sound was both repulsive and intimidating.
Ye Xiao resisted the pressure while calming his heart. He continued to observe the skeleton.
"Hmph! I don't want to stay here any longer. There is a flash of silver light in front of us. It must be some treasure that has appeared. Let me go and take a look!"
A young man who was observing the skeleton, Ye Xiao and Lin Hao from the side saw a silver light flashing at a different place. After saying that he was leaving, he moved like a gust of wind.
Afterward, the remaining few onlookers glanced at Ye Xiao and Lin Hao indifferently and then left one after another. Only the two of them were left here.
Ye Xiao and Lin Hao did not care about those people. They felt something wrong with this skeleton here so they continue to observe it closely.
"What is that?"
Suddenly Lin Hao's gaze fell upon a golden-coloured metal at the back of the head of that skeleton. Ye Xiao also looked at the golden metal and shook his head, indicating that he did not know what that thing was.
"Let's lift this skeleton and see what this thing is?" Lin Hao suggested while looking at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao started to think and after a few moments, he said, "Would there be any danger?"
"Danger is meant to follow you if your aim is to become the stronger. I don't know if there is any danger or not but if there is, I am not afraid. I will face that danger head-on!"
Lin Hao said with a determined face seeing which, Ye Xiao was also affected.
"This kid is not bad. He is much better than you!" The Voice of the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon echoed in Ye Xiao's mind at this moment.
Ye Xiao looked at Lin Hao deeply for a moment then he
.
took a long breath and said, "You are right! Let's do it!"
Both of them held both sides of the skeleton's waist and started to lift it.
"Hiss?"
Suddenly, a wave of ice-cold intent seeped into their heart, causing them to involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air. Suddenly, both of them felt a massive gravitational force pressuring them
"Ya! Ya!"
Lin Hao and Ye Xiao, both clenched their teeth and used all their strength to lift the skeleton. Their arms couldn't help but start twitching but they still could not move the skeleton by even a little.
At the same time, pressure started to increase bit by instantly, causing them to tremble violently.
"Roar!"
That low roar stuck to their eardrums once again. Their eyebrows started to twitch and their entire body felt extremely uncomfortable!
The skeleton was finally forcefully lifted by the two of them as a result of their combined strength. The two of them strongly pushed each other and it flipped over, revealing the other side of its back.
Now, both of them can clearly see what that golden metal was. It was actually a long needle that was pierced in the backhead of the skeleton for some unknown reason.
Lin Hao extended his hands to touch the needle but the moment he touched it, the gravitational force immediately took a leap and increased by double, forcing them to almost kneel on the ground but both of them hold still somehow and did not kneel.
Lin Hao felt cold in his hands. That golden needle was too cold to hold but he did not give up. He finally held the needle perfectly and started to pull it.
Crack! Crack!
With his pull, a low cracking sound started to echo.
"Ye Xiao, hurry up and stop him!" The voice of the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon once again echoed in Ye Xiao's head.
"Why?" Ye Xiao could not understand why Divine Soul Emperor Dragon was telling him to stop Lin Hao from pulling out the golden needle.
"Because this giant skeleton is the immortal whose existence I felt previously. It was suppressed here by someone and that golden needle is a Low-Grade Immortal Weapon that is suppressing this giant skeleton here. If that needle were to be pulled out, not only you two, but everyone present in the Secret Realm will face a great disaster!"
Divine Soul Emperor Dragon explained everything to Ye Xiao in hurry. Ye Xiao shouted in his mind in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier!"
"Earlier, even I was confused because, although this skeleton is an Immortal, it is suppressed here for countless years after it just became an immortal. Although it is only at the lowest level of Immortal, it is still not something you young people can fight against."
"I told you only after I confirmed if I am right or not about this skeleton. Ok, enough, hurry up and tell that boy to stop pulling out the golden needle, and don't disturb me now, I am gonna sleep!"
The Divine Soul Emperor Dragon yawned for a few breaths of time and closed its eyes to sleep.
Ye Xiao also did not say anything to it. He looked at Lin Hao who was still trying to pull out the Golden Needle and said hurriedly, "Lin Hao, don't pull out the Golden Needle otherwise we'll be in big trouble! That skeleton i..."
Shua!
Lin Hao looked at Ye Xiao in confusion while Ye Xiao looked at Lin Hao with a shocked gaze because the Golden Needle was already in one of the hands of Lin Hao.
It was obvious that Ye Xiao was late. Before Ye Xiao could finish what he was telling, Lin Hao had already pulled out the Golden Needle.
"Ye Xiao, what do you mean by that?" Lin Hao asked in confusion.
Ye Xiao took a long breath and explained, "The needle in your hand is actually a Low-Grade Immortal Weapon which was suppressing this giant skeleton here. This skeleton is actually an existence that has surpassed the limit of our Azure Sky Continent!"
"Are you telling me that... this skeleton is actually an Immortal?" Lin Hao looked at the Golden Needle in his hand, then he looked at the skeleton and said in shock.
"Yes!"
Ye Xiao nodded his head seriously and looked at the skeleton.
Suddenly, a monstrous wave surged out from the skeleton that enveloped both Ye Xiao and Lin Hao, causing them to feel extremely terrified!
Roar!
Ka-Ka-Ka!
The low roar and the cracking sound also started to echo out from the giant skeleton's huge body.
Suddenly a red light flashed in the empty eye socket of the skeleton.
Roar!
A loud roar also came out from the skull of the corpse at this moment. It was as loud as lightning that was about to spread throughout the entire ruin but some kind of invisible energy blocked it, not letting it spread wide.
This caused both Ye Xiao and Lin Hao's faces to change. They felt their ears buzzing and the situation also does not look good.
Ye Xiao's mind was spinning, his consciousness was in a mess due to the loud roar of the skeleton. He immediately covered his ears, feeling very uncomfortable.
"F*ck!"
Lin Hao's brain felt like it was going to explode. He was stunned as he looked at the strange skeleton. His heart trembling and his face also turned pale from shock.
The pressure that the huge skeleton gave off was at least several times stronger than before which was too difficult to resist.
Both of them retreated back. There was curiosity mixed inside their shock as they looked at the huge skeleton which has two red lights flashing in its eyes right now.
It was very strange. The skeleton was like a dead man however, the fire in the pair of eyes that had originally been like a black hole seemed to have some intelligence.
Shortly after, both Ye Xiao and Lin Hao noticed that the skeleton has started to grow flesh on its bare bones. Although the regrowth of its fleshes and muscles was extremely slow it was still growing at the speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, a hoarse ghost-like voice came from the head of the skeleton, saying, "Finally, after who knows how many years, I am finally free."
Then it looked at Ye Xiao and Lin Hao and said, "You two are just ants, why not give me that Golden Needle back and I'll let you two leave from here alive."
"I am not going to give away what is already mine!" Lin Hao bellowed coldly, jumped up from the ground, and ran. Seeing this, Ye Xiao was first surprised them he also followed suit and ran!
"Ant! How dare you defy this sovereign?" The huge skeleton flew toward them with a very fast speed and blocked their escape path like a ghost. This huge skeleton stood around with endless resentment in its voice.
Clang! Clang! Xlang!
Dong!
Suddenly, there were a few loud sounds in succession, causing the ground under their feet to shake a little. The cracks in the ground cracked and collapsed. If they weren't careful, they could fall into the bottomless abyss.
Ye Xiao's scalp tingled. He stared straight at the gigantic skeleton, his eyebrows knitted together. He truly wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. This gigantic skeleton caused him to instinctively resist, the blood in his body was flowing extremely quickly, and his entire body was burning up.
He suddenly had a feeling, if he did not rush up to fight against this skeleton, his whole body would be in pain.
"Why am I feeling like this?" Ye Xiao muttered while resisting his urge to fight with this huge skeleton whose almost one-fourth of the flashes has already regrown.
"Because you are the inheritor of the Heavenly Pearl. How can the inheritor of Heavenly Pearl just run away in front of a danger? If you were to just run away while facing danger, how can you be qualified to call yourself the inheritor of the Heavenly Pearl!"
This time, it was Little Yellow whose voice echoed in Ye Xiao's mind. Ye Xiao was surprised at first but this time was not for him to be surprised so he quickly focused on the words that Little Yellow has just said.
"You are someone, who did not give a damn to Heavens itself and here, you are running from a mere Immortal who is not in its peak state. This skeleton is in its weakest state right now."
"If you let it recover, you will definitely die by its hands and right now, you can not even run away because it will not let you run away so the best option for you is to fight against this Immortal Skeleton and kill it."
Little Yellow once again said and Ye Xiao who was listening to this took a long breat
and shook off the thought of running away from here.
Lin Hao also noticed that he had no chance of running away. If he wanted to survive, he has to fight the skeleton. So he could not help but pull out his sword.
At this time, Lin Hao bit the tip of his tongue, and a drop of his blood essence landed on the sword in his hand, instantly causing his blood essence to be devoured by the silver-white lustre that emitted out from the sword.
The entire sword started to emit an endless glow and great pressure emitted from the sword body which spread in all directions.
"A person who could kill me is not even born yet. What's more, you are just a skeleton who has been suppressed here for who knows how many years!" Lin Hao's face turned sinister, he clenched his sword tightly and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Ye Xiao's two arms were also emitting an endless amount of heat at this moment. The Blue Fire Soul was covering both of his arms.
Right at this moment, a black Qi emerged out from the body of the gigantic skeleton and covered its entire body. The gigantic skeleton instantly teleported above Lin Hao's head with an intense amount of pressure and stomped down with one foot.
Immediately, a monstrous wave surged towards Lin Hao from above, causing him to feel extremely terrified!
Lin Hao dodged the attack of the gigantic skeleton at full speed. Grabbing the sword with both of his hands which was emitting a fierce glow, he gathered his full strength and struck out. A powerful sword aura swept out, tearing through the air, and immediately came into contact with the huge skeleton's body.
"What a surprise! You have actually comprehended the Sword Intent at such a young age! In my entire life, I have never encountered a genius that is as strong as you at such a young age!"
The gigantic skeleton spoke with surprise when he felt the terrifying sword intent coming out from Lin Hao's body.
The gigantic skeleton quickly gathered all the black Qi and formed a strong shield, deflecting the might of Lin Hao's sword.
Following that, the terrifying Qi flow transformed into countless gales of wind and shot back. Every one of the gales of wind contained the corrosive black Qi which quickly struck towards Lin Hao.
Lin Hao immediately waved his sword to block, and after a few more strikes, he managed to shatter the hurricane.
After the exchange of only one move with the huge skeleton, Lin Hao's spirit energy started to become violent inside his body which caused him some minor internal injuries. Lin Hao hurriedly and solemnly swallowed a pill and stabilized the violent spirit energy inside his body.
Fortunately, all the other geniuses were busy searching for treasures and did not pay attention to the situation here and there was another factor. That factor was an invisible energy barrier that was blocking the sound of their battle from spreading throughout the entire ruin. Otherwise, they would have been scared half to death.
It was also fortunate that the skeleton was currently in its weakened state otherwise Lin Hao's body would have exploded by the previous attack of the huge skeleton, after all, this huge skeleton was an Immortal.
"Fire Clones!"
"Dragon Claws!"
"Spirit Devour Escape!"
At this moment, Ye Xiao, who was watching the exchange between the huge skeleton and Lin Hao released his seven fire clones and along with the seven fire clones, his hands also turned into dragon claws.
He used the Spirit Devour Escape and arrived in front of the huge skeleton in an instant while his seven fire clones followed behind him.
"Attack!"
Ye Xiao shouted and all the fire clones immediately started to attack the huge skeleton. That huge skeleton also blocked and attacked back at the fire clones with its black Qi causing the fire clones to be severe damaged.
Ye Xiao waved his hand and the Sea Dragon Spear appeared in his hand.
"Sea Dragon Descends: First Style, Hands Of Waves!"
He immediately executed his strongest technique and the entir
entire area turned into a vast sea.
"Roar!"
A dragon's loud roar echoed throughout the area that was covered with an invisible barrier and along with the roar of a dragon, countless dragon's claws emerged out from the underwater and attacked the huge skeleton, wanting to tear its huge body to shreds.
Seeing the countless dragon's claws attacking the huge skeleton, Lin Hao was so shocked that his mouth opened wide and he forgot to close it for a long period of time.
