He could only give a dry laugh in response to the sea demons' open scheme.

He extended his Divine Sense and quickly discovered that many sea demons and Human Warriors were monitoring every movement around the Ancient God Ruins.

However, because of the Array that blocked Divine Sense at the entrance of the Ancient God Ruins, neither the sea demons nor the Human Warriors could probe into the situation inside the ruins.

Duan Gujin had been waiting, looking for an opportunity.

After six hours, he finally found the opportunity and entered the interior of the Ancient God Ruins.

At this moment, no sea demons remained in the Ghostly Desolate Land.

Duan Gujin, with a mouthful of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, circulated Primordial Power and headed deeper into the Ghostly Desolate Land.

Today, he came not to forcibly unravel the mysteries of the Ghostly Desolate Land but to test the power of the Rule Battle Spear he had practiced.

After advancing several hundred meters, he felt the surrounding temperature drop by dozens of degrees in an instant.

He took a deep breath, circulated Primordial Power, and continued to move forward.

Soon, he saw ghostly apparitions ahead.

His eyes flickered as he forcibly boosted his Primordial Power and advanced step by step.

At the same time, those ghostly apparitions were also moving toward him step by step.

"I hope I'm not mistaken!"

He previously had a doubt in his mind; he knew that to solve this doubt, he had to unravel the mystery of these ghostly apparitions.

After days of thought, he suspected that the ghostly apparitions in this Ghostly Desolate Land were actually an illusion.

This illusion was deliberately created by the builders of the Ancient God Ruins to scare the Challengers.

The last time Duan Gujin ventured here, he had no means to counter the Prohibitions or Arrays, but now that he just learned the Rule Battle Spear, he felt the need to take the risk here.

The surrounding Yin Cold Aura grew stronger, and he felt a severe suppression of his Cultivation.

He exhaled a breath of impure air and stared closely ahead.

Time passed bit by bit, and moments later, he saw a White Bone appear ahead.

The entire White Bone was snow-white, occasionally flashing with an eerie gleam.

Duan Gujin's eyes widened, trying to discern what exactly the White Bone was.

"This place is definitely not the Ghostly Desolate Land! These ghostly apparitions are indeed illusions!"

He was very clear that the true ghostly apparitions of the Ghostly Desolate Land were real ghosts without any physical form.

But the ghostly apparitions he saw now were caused by White Bone, which completely overturned his previous judgment.

He took a deep breath and circulated Primordial Power.

Immediately, a two-meter-long Rule Battle Spear appeared in his right palm.

His eyes widened, closely watching the White Bone ahead.

He waited for the White Bone to approach, planning to use the Rule Battle Spear to pierce it to see what the White Bone really was.

"If I'm not mistaken, this White Bone should be something very much like a Puppet!"

He was tense, his eyes wide open, focusing intently on the White Bone ahead.

After a while, the White Bone got very close.

His mind stirred, and with a wave of his right hand, he hurled the Rule Battle Spear at the White Bone's body.

Whizz!

The Rule Battle Spear tore through the air with a sharp whistle, whizzing toward the White Bone.

He then heard a massive explosion echoing in the Void, and he felt signs of the Void collapsing amidst the explosion.

"This Rule Battle Spear is indeed extraordinary!"

He saw the White Bone shattered into countless fragments and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Though he couldn't probe with Divine Sense now, he could discern from the aura of the White Bone ahead that its Cultivation was at least at the Fifth Level of Martial Saint.

If he had to deal with an enemy at the Fifth Level of Martial Saint, he would be very strained and might fall for the White Bone's trap.

Luckily, by releasing the Rule Battle Spear, he instantly destroyed the White Bone.

His mind stirred again, and a Rule Battle Spear appeared in the palm of his right hand once more.

Taking a deep breath, he continued to advance cautiously.

Although he sensed the Yin Cold Aura on him getting colder, he could still move his feet, albeit slowly.

After progressing a distance, another White Bone appeared ahead.

His eyes widened, focusing on the White Bone ahead.

When it approached, his mind stirred, and he launched the Rule Battle Spear at it.

With a loud crash, the White Bone ahead was instantly pulverized.

He moved cautiously ahead, destroying every White Bone he encountered one by one.

After advancing a full five kilometers, he finally exited the place resembling the Ghostly Desolate Land.

Seeing that the place ahead was no longer like the Ghostly Desolate Land, Duan Gujin was overjoyed. He inspected the ground ahead, confirmed there were no issues, and then sat cross-legged, consuming Divine Milk, recuperating and recovering Primordial Power.

After six hours, his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power were restored to Peak State.

He knew that although he had passed through the previous Ghostly Desolate Land, he suspected there might be more challenges ahead. In case the difficulty of the challenge was significant and most of his Primordial Power and Spiritual Power were already depleted in the previous trial, not adjusting and recovering them would make it very difficult to pass the next challenge.

He quickly moved forward, finding himself in a place filled with various sculptures.

There were various patterns on these sculptures, and he recognized them as Arrays.

Not wanting to activate the Arrays, he carefully avoided the sculptures, skirting past them.

On his way, he saw several gigantic statues of the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, frowning deeply.

"This place surely is connected to the Divine World!"

He thought to himself.

He surveyed the surroundings and felt he should proceed to a high platform ahead where he saw something resembling a Stele with some inscriptions.

Upon reaching the highest platform among the sculptures, he saw inscriptions on the Stele instructing that injecting Divine Beast blood would activate the Array.

"Divine Beast?"

His mind flashed back to the sculptures he had seen, and he immediately realized.

"The Divine Beast here is most likely referring to those sculptures!"

He immediately summoned Ling'er from the Space Bracelet, shared his experiences here, and asked Ling'er to drop a drop of blood.

"There are many statues here! I remember my ancestor telling me that if I ever encountered a place full of statues, I should find the highest point of the statue and drop blood!"

Ling'er's eyes flickered and then spoke to Duan Gujin.

Comparing Ling'er's words with his current situation, Duan Gujin felt they might have indeed arrived at the place Ling'er's ancestor spoke of.

"It seems the place your ancestor spoke of is indeed here! Please proceed to drop your blood!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Alright!"

Ling'er gritted its teeth, and a drop of Essence Blood flowed from its body, then trickled into a small hole at the base of the Stele, just big enough to fit a thumb.

Duan Gujin could tell there were many patterns around the small hole.

He realized that these were not ordinary patterns but at least Advanced patterns.

However, after Ling'er initially dropped a single drop of Essence Blood, there was no reaction from the small hole.

With no other option, it continued to drop several more drops of Essence Blood until the small hole was filled.

After a while, Duan Gujin sensed energy fluctuations beginning to emanate from those patterns, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Array is activated!"

He immediately picked up Ling'er, and together they observed the changes in the Essence Blood and surroundings.

Click, click, click!

Soon, they heard the sound of mechanisms activating beneath the ground.

They quickly saw a gigantic statue slowly rising from the ground ahead, and when it was halfway exposed, they identified it as a colossal statue of the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat.

Then, they heard a low male voice.

"Descendants of the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, come here at once!"

Duan Gujin's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he immediately moved with the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat to the front of the gigantic statue.
