The Sacred Ruins - Page 579/592

That was a hand with a long nail, pressing hard upon the copper coffin. The top of the coffin was covered in patina with many blurry lines engraved into it.

The people’s hearts trembled and thought this hand was fairly evil and lacking in blood qi. It was dry and coarse beyond compare. Its fingernails were a shiny black and half an inch long.

Creak!

The lid of the coffin shook violently, then pushed open to reveal the darkness inside. Thereafter, the other hand also crept out of the coffin and scraped the coffin with its fingernails, releasing a reverberating metallic sound which made people’s teeth ache.

Just then, not to mention those witnessing the scene in the solar system, even the hearts of those monitoring everything through the heaven’ eye felt a chill down their spine.

What’s with the Sagemaster? He’s not quite the same as back in the old days.

In the past, his hair was snow white, but he had a handsome face. His hands and skin were soft and sparkling; a rare, beautiful man.

Now, having only exposed two hands, how was there a slight eeriness in the air? It made people feel uncomfortable and even terrified.

Beyond the solar system, Luo Qicheng’s gold blood and qi boiled as he reformed his body before coming out again. “You, sagemaster, are you dead? Neither human nor ghost. That’s really… laughable!”

He carried a carefree demeanor about him. When he saw the two hands come out from the coffin, the coldness on his face got grew even more intense.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a person surged out of the coffin and crossed the universe. He ignored Luo Qicheng and charged straight for the deity ancestor.

The deity ancestor’s gold eyes were as big as the sun and looked incredibly terrifying. It let off an aura that made the universe tremble violently.

It was as though he were sitting upon the nine heavens, watching over the mortal realm with a distinct emotionless chill about him. Similar to the Daoist saying, “Heaven and earth are indifferent. All creatures are considered dogs.”

But at this moment, when he saw that creature come over, he moved too and his mood was affected. With a “boom”, the void exploded, frightening who knows strong races with its rich energy.

In an instant, he disappeared on the spot and entered the solar system. He rushed up to the figure that had come out from the coffin and went straight for the kill.

A golden deity palm flew forward and slapped out even more forcefully than Luo Qicheng!

Meanwhile, all the experts in the starry skies inhaled a breath of cold air as they finally saw the figure in the starry skies. The felt their hair stand on end.

That person was completely covered in long black hair, including his face, and he looked a little scary. He looked like a dead corpse that had gone through a strange transformation and grown hair all over the body, turning horrifying and frightening.

Just then, his body swelled up as he stood tall and proud. He surpassed many planets and stood level with the Deity Race ancestors as he confronted the enemy.

Only the big claw was all dried up. There were no black hairs on it and only long, black shiny nails resembling iron hooks. The cold eerie light terrified one’s soul.

“Sagemaster!”

Just then, not to mention other people, even Yaoyao on Mount Longhu cried out in astonishment. After that, she revealed an expression of sadness for the first time.

She felt really sad. Back in the old days, the Sagemaster was a handsome and outstanding hero of the generation, one who had killed opponents from various factions. He was virtually invincible, and even the Heaven Illuminators couldn’t stop him on his route. But over time, he had actually turned into this form.

Yaoyao thought that this must be the Sagemaster from back in the old days, who was heavily wounded. She believed he had died, then turned into a zombie.

Yaoyao felt saddened by how an astonishingly talented person succumbed to such a tragic end.

Her personal experience was already really bleak, but she never felt sad for herself. For the first ever time, she felt so saddened by how the Sagemaster looked right now.

Yaoyao couldn’t help but cry.

“So it’s such a big fellow. Even the coffin boards can’t suppress him,” mumbled the frog heartlessly.

In the end, without waiting for Yaoyao’s glare, Chu Feng rushed over with a flying kick, lest he gets stomped to death by Yaoyao first.

“Hehe, haha…” The head of the Deity race, Luo Qicheng, laughed out loud. “Is this still the handsome Sagemaster from back in the old days? So you’ve turned into a corpse and come out looking like this! Hey!”

He taunted freely with a cold snarl on his face and an ever carefree attitude.

Kaboom!

Just then, the terrifying figure covered in black hair shot up into the starry sky, his eyes even bigger than planets. Up against the deity ancestor, the big claw lunged forward with terrifying, explosive light and intense energy.

Within the solar system, the runes on various large planets glistened and the domain’s light interweaved.

The green zone of the solar system had no domains to protect and some small planets. Just then, they ignited one planet after another and became one ball of fiery light after another, lighting up the ocean of stars. The landscape looked frightening.

“Sagemaster, you finally came out after hibernating for so many decades. It’s tragic enough to have to come to this end! Back in the old days, I struck you through the starry skies once and cut your life short, slipping you into the critical life and death situation. I never imagined that you’d be dragging your tattered body around still alive! Now, you’re a zombie. Today, I’m going to completely take you out!” said the Netherworld Race’s ancestor.

Beyond the solar system, the Netherworld Race’s ancestor spoke. Following his breathing, dark light was emitted from his entire body and dark qi engulfed the sky.

Boom!

When he moved, the starry skies split open. He barged into the solar system and unleashed his killer move mercilessly at the hairy corpse.

When the Netherworld Breathing Technique circulated, his entire body was dark and eerie like a demonic god. The sun was suppressed and the nine planets were about to stop orbiting.

At that moment, the void froze.

All around him were mountains of corpses, oceans of blood and planets being destroyed one after the other. These strange visions were things that had happened back in the old days.

Among them, were some visions of massacres that happened on Earth. Moreover, they were visions targeting the ancestors of the land.

“Father!”

Yaoyao bit her red lips, as her beautiful face looked distressed. She saw her own father in those visions and found out how he died.

There was a middle-aged person who was strong beyond compare. He was badly injured after being surrounded and attacked. The final hit came from the Netherworld Race’s ancestor. The five pitch-black fingers pierced his head, spraying blood all over the starry skies!

“Die, Sagemaster!”

Just then, the deity ancestor and the Netherworld Race’s ancestor joined forced and wedged the enormous silhouette between them. It attacked with a loud rumble and energy flared up, wanting to kill him.

What’s more, at the most crucial moment, that silhouette shrouded by mist traversed the void from beyond the solar system. It attacked decisively without any hesitation.

“Count me in! How can you leave me out of such a major satisfying thing like obliterating the Sagemaster?!” laughed Luo Qicheng, as he went in for the kill.

The four big experts all used their unique magical abilities. There was an astonishing light that emerged which submerged there. They attacked that person together from four different places.

Clearly, this was a fatal blow that simply couldn’t be avoided.

That silhouette fought fiercely against the deity ancestor and wanted to take him down with him.

“For a corpse whisperer to illuminate the heavens, you’re quite impressive throughout the ages. However, you’ll have to die in the end. Sagemaster, just die already!”

“Heh! I’ve waited a long time for you since antiquity. As long as you’re gone, what’s there to worry about? The others are all small fries. After eradicating the malignant tumor, your race can all be annihilated with nothing more to leave behind!”

These cold words made the Heaven Illuminators’ killer intent clear. To kill the Sagemaster, they were willing to let go of everything else.

Because from the way they saw things, only the Sagemaster was too brilliant among the survivors of the war. They were worried that one day, he would make a breakthrough to the supreme domain.

Now, I can finally eliminate all loose ends!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Luo Qicheng and the three ancestors attacked together. This was simply a scene with no suspense. In retrospect, who in the universe could withstand a full-on attack from evolvers at this level?

Pfft!

The large silhouette of the person covered in black hair exploded. The reeking black blood in his body sprayed out in all directions within the starry skies, shocking the various races.

“Did the Sagemaster… die just like that?!”

“Ah, I never imagined that a god of a generation would meet such a tragic end. Not only did you turn into a corpse but you were also shattered with neither a bone or corpse remaining!”

Countless ancient leaders of races who lived in various places of the universe sighed softly. They had experienced that era and possessed deep knowledge of just how unrivaled the Sagemaster was. His domain methods kept the Heaven Illuminators across the starry domain in check and intimidated the enemies, giving his home planet a final chance at living.

Without him, which Heaven Illuminator would be apprehensive? Even if the domains in the solar system couldn’t be cracked and there was no way to barge in, they could still easily turn this place into a land of death.

“Sagemaster, you are finally dead! Now, let this solar system die with you! Wipe it all out!” loudly laughed the Netherworld Race’s ancestor.

But, they didn’t dare immediately take action. Instead, they tried their best to eliminate the exploded corpse and burn the black blood.

They were afraid that the Sagemaster would return from his ashes and come back to life.

Boom!

All of a sudden the Netherworld Race’s ancestor exploded and turned into a ball of blood mist. His bones, blood, flesh, and hair were all over the place. He was shattered instantly by a person’s Star-Studded Whip.

At the same time, the deity ancestor roared angrily, his voice shaking the heaven and earth. His waist was struck and immediately snapped in half. Golden blood sprayed everywhere and drowned the area of the solar system. There were some small planets that completely melted and then evaporated from the mortal realm.

“You… How did you?!”

The shocked and angry deity ancestor saw a silhouette just now move so swiftly that he didn’t even notice how the killing move was made.

They were most careless just when they made a move on the strange corpse full of black hair. Several people were still destroying the Sagemaster’s corpse. In the end, the silhouette randomly emerged and killed them all.

His white hair was like snow and he had a handsome face. Even though it lacked in color, one could tell just how good-looking he was. It was just that there were traces of the passing years painted in his eyes.

He had rushed out silently from behind when the hairy body had busted out of the bronze coffin.

He used certain domain methods to conceal his aura and meld into nothingness. Even the expert Heaven Illuminators couldn’t feel his presence. He only appeared when he made his fatal attack.

Without a doubt, this was a peerless utilization of domains because other people could hide nothing from Heaven Illuminators. Only by comprehending domains to an extremely brilliant level can one produce such an outcome.

Otherwise, nobody would be able to sneak attack the Heaven Illuminators!

He was the real Sagemaster. With the Star-Studded Whip in hand, he immediately whipped apart the Netherworld Race’s ancestor. At the same time, he also wrapped the deity ancestor around the waist and snapped him, spraying blood across the starry skies.

But at this level, they were all quite difficult to kill.

“Kill!”

That most mysterious expert, shrouded by mist, let out a roar and attacked the Sagemaster. He wanted to fight it out with the latter to gain some time for the ancestors of the two races to recover.

“You…” Luo Qicheng was incredibly angry, but he was also quite terrified. The Sagemaster hadn’t died, while both ancestors had suffered severe damage instead.

Buzz!

In the solar system, the nine planets shone and unleashed ripples. Eventually, nine halos blended into one and became a resplendent Demon Subduing Ring which wrapped around Luo Qicheng.

Boom!

While the Sagemaster was fighting the mysterious expert, he turned right around and charged over. He then lashed at the captured Luo Qicheng with a boom.

With a “Pfft”, Luo Qicheng burst into pieces and golden blood permeated in the fog.

Every part of the universe had long since fallen silent from the shock. No one had imagined such a major, shocking incident like this would happen.

The Heaven Illuminators who could see through everything had actually ended up being killed in return.

Boom!

The Sagemaster waved the Star-Studded Whip again and violently whipped out at the mass of blood fog. This scattered Luo Qicheng’s spiritual willpower and made him let out a blood-curdling screech.

At the same time, the bronze coffin flew across the void, entered Earth, and fell upon Mount Longhu.

Yaoyao shot a smile back with tears in her eyes and said goodbye to Chu Feng and the others. She had to leave now.

“I knew Uncle Sagemaster will never disappoint. We agreed to that a long time ago…”
