Chapter 854 - 786: Ghostly Desolate Land
Nine Extremes Heavenly Array means that within this Defensive Magic Array, there exist nine different attribute powers: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.
These nine different attribute powers are arranged in the Defensive Magic Array based on the principle of mutual generation and restraint; anyone wanting to break the Defensive Magic Array must rely on their Divine Sense locking ability.
In the Divine World, the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array is a Basic Magic Array used to assess the talent of disciples.
Therefore, Duan Gujin and Qing Lian are very familiar with this Basic Magic Array.
After infiltrating it, they first attempted to see if they could break the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array.
After some attempts, they discovered they could indeed break the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array.
However, if they broke the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array, the Ancient God Ruins would have no Defensive Magic Array, allowing them to enter the Ancient God Ruins, and the sea demons outside could also follow them into the Ancient God Ruins.
"What should we do?"
Duan Gujin inhaled sharply, and after a discussion with Qing Lian, they decided that they should drug the sea demons outside, either poisoning them all to death or making them all fall unconscious.
"If we poison the sea demons, those outside might notice; it's best to knock them all out!"
Duan Gujin contemplated for a while and said.
"Yes, that's a good plan! We should now go and investigate how these sea demons usually replenish their food. It's unlikely that these sea demons have storage rings; the food they send to the sea demons here should be brought from outside."
Qing Lian said.
So, they began investigating how the sea demons replenished their food.
Soon, they found out that a sea demon squad was dispatched at fixed times by the sea demons outside, specifically to deliver various fish and shrimp to the sea demons stationed at the Ancient God Ruins.
After figuring out the location of the food, Duan Gujin injected the food with a drug to make the sea demons fall asleep.
Two hours later, they saw the sea demons consume all the food laced with the sleeping drug, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
After another hour, they saw that all the sea demons had fallen asleep.
They used their Divine Sense to probe the surroundings, ensuring no sea demons were missed and none were nearby, then immediately set to work breaking the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array.
In less than 15 minutes, they had broken the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array.
However, when Duan Gujin and Qing Lian saw the scene before them clearly, they both inhaled sharply in surprise.
It turned out that what appeared before them was not the Ancient God Ruins, but one desolate tomb after another.
Their Divine Sense probed, finding that their Divine Sense couldn't be used here.
"It seems the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array was merely the first test of the Ancient God Ruins!"
Duan Gujin let out a breath of turbid air, originally believing that as long as he and Qing Lian broke the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array, they could obtain all the treasures within the Ancient God Ruins. He hadn't anticipated that the Nine Extremes Heavenly Array was merely the first test.
Qing Lian, like him, was full of doubts. After glancing around, they realized they had arrived in a Secret Realm, with endless tombs before them.
"I'll go ahead and see what's going on! You wait here for a moment!"
Duan Gujin said to Qing Lian and then began to operate his Primordial Power, manifest Protective Gang Qi, and cautiously moved forward towards the tombs.
As he approached the tombs, he sensed an extremely powerful Yin Cold Aura surrounding him, feeling like he was in an icy cellar with a chill permeating his entire body.
"Why does the aura here resemble the Ghostly Desolate Land?"
Duan Gujin's expression changed drastically as he carefully probed the bone-chilling Yin Cold Aura around him.
After a while, he was certain that his senses were correct; the Yin Cold Aura he felt now was indeed that of the Ghostly Desolate Land.
The Ghostly Desolate Land is a terrifying existence in the Divine World, where even demigod or Supreme God cultivations would be significantly diminished upon entering.
The rule power in the Ghostly Desolate Land is similar to that of the Demon Domain; thus, any demigod or Supreme God entering must first reduce their power by half.
While not many demons and ghosts are seen wandering the Ghostly Desolate Land, encountering even one can be extremely dangerous for both demigod and Supreme God beings, who must exercise utmost caution to avoid being eliminated.
"Why is the aura of the Ghostly Desolate Land appearing here?"
Duan Gujin felt horrified, his heart pounding violently.
After repeatedly verifying, he finally concluded he had not seen wrongly.
He fell into contemplation, knowing that the Ghostly Desolate Land was extremely dangerous, with peculiar energy capable of disrupting any pointing compass.
Duan Gujin's eyes flashed, and he retrieved a pointing compass from his storage ring.
Soon, he realized that no matter how he operated the pointing compass, it had completely lost its effectiveness.
"It seems this place indeed closely resembles the Ghostly Desolate Land. Could it be that the Ancient God Ruins' creators brought a portion of the Ghostly Desolate Land's soil here?"
After thinking for a while, he decided that this so-called Ghostly Desolate Land should not harbor demons.
"The Ancient God Ruins are at least a thousand years old; there shouldn't be any demons here!"
Having thought of this, he intended to continue forward, eager to ascertain whether this area was indeed the Ghostly Desolate Land.
He knew that the Ghostly Desolate Land is considered half a Forbidden Land within the Divine World.
Typically, the soil within a Forbidden Land is influenced by the Rule Power of the Forbidden Land, emitting its rule power.
Duan Gujin could not determine how much of the Rule Power remained in the Ghostly Desolate Land's soil before him.
If there was less Rule Power in the soil, the effect on him would be lesser.
Bracing himself, he continued forward more than a dozen steps, finding that the surrounding Yin Cold Aura was growing more intense, causing his brows to knit tightly. He recalled that when he had ventured into the true Ghostly Desolate Land before, the aura was the same as he sensed now.
The deeper he ventured into the Ghostly Desolate Land, the more intense the Yin Cold Aura felt.
"I've advanced less than 500 meters, and there's already such a terrifying change!"
He took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, quickly operating his Primordial Power, and manifested the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, wanting to test its effectiveness here.
However, to his disappointment, after some time, he found that despite manifesting the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, he felt no sign of the nearby Yin Cold Aura diminishing.
"It seems the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul is utterly useless here! Why does this place resemble the Ghostly Desolate Land so much?"
