Chapter 728 - 722: Returning Ruins

"Senior Brother Nato is back!"

"Senior Brother Nato is back, Senior Brother Nato is back!"

Seeing Nato return victorious, the disciples of Wa Huang’s Palace shouted excitedly, overwhelmingly enthusiastic.

You know, previously they spent many days and exerted a great deal of effort before capturing over one hundred members of the Void Race.

And now, with just a slight effort on Nato’s part, he captured so many members of the Void Race.

Looking at the Void Race members strung like candied hawthorns under Nato’s Red Embroidery Ball, everyone naturally felt thrilled.

These are all indeed their contributions!

Nato shook his hand, and all the members of the Void Race bound by the red ribbon under the Red Embroidery Ball were tossed into the Heaven and Earth Net in the sky.

The Heaven and Earth Net scooped them up, collecting all the Void Race within.

The disciples of Wa Huang’s Palace surrounded Nato, asking one after another, "Senior Brother Nato, what do we do next?"

Nato looked up, bewildered, feeling a bit lost for a moment.

Nato, with the heart of a child, was always the one to act, not the one to make decisions.

Seeing Nato in silence, a disciple of Wa Huang’s Palace suggested, "Senior Brother Nato, strike while the iron is hot."

"Why not, let’s seize the moment to visit the next Void Ruin, maybe we can capture more members of the Void Race."

With this suggestion, Nato’s eyes brightened involuntarily.

Though not as battle-hungry as before, Nato’s competitive spirit remained strong.

Nato thought, Senior Brother Kong must have captured many members of the Void Race, I can’t lag too far behind him.

Thinking of this, Nato decisively said, "Alright, let’s head to the next Void Ruin immediately."

However, by the time Nato reached the next Void Ruin, no sign of the Void Race was to be found.

Just as Nato caught all the Void Race members at his current site, the Peacock Great Ming King and others also captured the members at their respective sites.

When all eighteen Void Race suicide squads were captured, the remaining members of the Void Race, regardless of their regained energy levels, had swiftly retreated from the Void Ruins.

"Senior Brother Nato, this site has no more Void Race members, it seems they have retreated?" a disciple of Wa Huang’s Palace reported after checking.

Nato thought for a moment and instructed, "Immediately head to other Void Ruins, I refuse to believe they all ran away."

Whether or not Nato believed it, the Void Race indeed retreated completely.

This is the execution power of the Void Race.

At this time, not only was Nato searching the other Void Ruins, but the Peacock Great Ming King and others were also inspecting them one by one.

Fortunately, the Void Race retreated in time, otherwise, they would have inevitably suffered greater losses.

After an unsuccessful search, Nato and others could only accept reality and return by the original path.

As all disciples returned to Wa Huang’s Palace, the Buddha beamed with joy.

This time, these disciples brought back two to three thousand members of the Void Race in total.

Judging by the current situation, the Buddha’s plan showed remarkable effectiveness.

By repeating the method tens of times, more or less, the Void Race would be entirely captured, without exception.

"Put them into the prison cells, and guard them well!" the Buddha immediately instructed.

After imprisoning all the members of the Void Race, Wa Huang turned to the Buddha and asked, "We’ve captured so many members of the Void Race; can they be of use?"

The Buddha smiled slightly and said, "Cause and effect, cause and effect, where there is a cause, there is an effect."

"The Void Race is the cause, Demon Lord is the effect. First, grasping cause and effect within our hands is the premise of dissipating the Power of Cause and Effect."

Wa Huang asked further, "Then, what is the method for dissipating the Power of Cause and Effect?"

The method for dissipating the Power of Cause and Effect?

The Buddha suddenly laughed and replied to Wa Huang, "Returning Ruins."

"In the Void, if there’s a place where the method to dissipate the Power of Cause and Effect likely exists, it certainly is the Returning Ruins."

"I have already guided the Demon Lord to go to the Returning Ruins to search for the method to dissipate the Power of Cause and Effect."

Returning Ruins.

Meaning the place of belonging for all void.

Also regarded as the place that nurtures the void.

The exterior of the Returning Ruins resembles a black hole floating in the void.

It does not have a fixed location, wandering continuously within the void.

Of course, for a Tier One Powerhouse, finding a moving void isn’t difficult.

The Returning Ruins moves very slowly and isn’t hidden.

Under normal circumstances, be it the Void Race or the disciples of Wa Huang, upon encountering the Returning Ruins, they consciously maintain distance.

To avoid being sucked into the Returning Ruins.

Returning Ruins, for those below Tier One, is extremely dangerous.

That something is extremely dangerous for those below Tier One doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous for a Tier One Powerhouse.

For a Tier One Powerhouse, the ’extremely’ part of ’extremely dangerous’ can be dropped.

Many years ago, Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha, Daoist Ancestor, and the Four Great Primordial Spirits once explored the Returning Ruins together.

The four of them obtained numerous powerful treasures within the Returning Ruins.

However, even combined, they merely explored half of the Returning Ruins.

Upon reaching halfway, they encountered a formidable natural Killing Array.

The Four Great Primordial Spirits, even united, were left wounded and nearly perished within the Returning Ruins.

At that time, having reaped considerable rewards, they had no need to further risk their lives in exploration.

Thus, the Four Great Primordial Spirits exited the void together.

Afterward, the Four Great Primordial Spirits rarely collaborated; any one of them hesitated to venture alone into the Returning Ruins again, and naturally, they never entered the void again.

Hearing that the Buddha sent the Demon Lord to the Returning Ruins, Wa Huang’s face immediately showed a look of lingering fear.

Back then, when the Four Great Primordial Spirits explored the Returning Ruins together, they nearly lost their lives.

Now the Demon Lord, going alone, can he gain any success?

Moreover, the Demon Lord is now entangled in cause and effect, his fortune is indeed very poor.

A misfortunate one entering an extremely dangerous place, just thinking about it makes one’s scalp tingle.

"Him going alone, can it be useful?"

"Moreover, back then, the four of us together couldn’t break the Killing Array. How could he alone break it?"

"Unable to break the Killing Array, he can’t proceed further, right?" Wa Huang questioned, confused.

The Buddha shook his head and said, "Not exactly, not exactly."

"He doesn’t necessarily have to break the Killing Array, nor is it a necessity to proceed further."

"Back then, when we explored the Returning Ruins, we aimed solely for those powerful treasures. We didn’t meticulously search or examine."

"Perhaps, within the area we previously searched, the Demon Lord can find the method to dissipate the Power of Cause and Effect."

The Buddha’s words seemed reasonable on the surface.

However, upon careful deliberation, Wa Huang still felt something was amiss.
