Chapter 729 - 723: Returning Ruins Arena

In those years, it was with the combined efforts of the Four Great Primordial Spirits that they managed to explore half of the Returning Ruins.

Now, with just the Demon Lord himself entering the Returning Ruins, let alone half, he would struggle even to explore a third of the area.

One must know, although there are many treasures within the Returning Ruins, the dangers are equally abundant.

It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s fraught with peril every step of the way.

The current Demon Lord is entangled with cause and effect, with his luck in decline; he is truly a hapless fellow!

Perhaps, without finding a way to dissipate the Power of Cause and Effect, the Demon Lord might end up trapped himself.

"Is it feasible for him to enter the Returning Ruins by himself?" Wa Huang tentatively asked.

A mysterious smile appeared on the Buddha’s face as he countered, "Whether it’s feasible or not, for us, it’s all beneficial, isn’t it?"

Wa Huang was no fool; the moment the Buddha spoke, Wa Huang immediately understood his meaning.

The Demon Lord was coaxed by the Buddha into seeking a method to dissipate the Power of Cause and Effect in the Returning Ruins.

Regardless of whether he finds it or not, it’s advantageous to both of them.

If the Demon Lord doesn’t head to the Returning Ruins, they have to constantly guard against him destroying things in desperation.

But if he goes to the Returning Ruins, it’s entirely different.

If the Demon Lord finds a way to dissipate the Power of Cause and Effect, it would be the best outcome.

One must know, the Returning Ruins is filled with Killing Arrays and Trapping Arrays.

The Demon Lord might just die in the Returning Ruins, or perhaps get trapped within.

In this way, they would effortlessly get rid of the Demon Lord as a hidden threat.

The Buddha’s strategy of using a borrowed sword to kill is exceptionally skillful.

Moreover, it’s an open strategy.

Even if the Demon Lord realizes the Buddha’s using a borrowed sword, he still has to fall for the trap.

Because the Returning Ruins has already become the Demon Lord’s only hope.

...

...

Returning Ruins.

"Bang!"

The Demon Lord tumbled to the ground, getting up with a bruised face.

This was the 103rd fall since the Demon Lord entered the Returning Ruins.

Since entering, the Demon Lord found that this place seemed different from when they came many years ago.

Not only had many treasures been re-nurtured within the Returning Ruins, but the environment had also changed.

The Demon Lord climbed up from the ground, looking at the stone tablet that had tripped him.

The first word on the stone tablet was, Return...

The characters below were deeply buried underground, hard to discern.

In an instant, the Demon Lord’s curiosity was piqued, and he quickly began to dig out the stone tablet buried underground.

The stone tablet had five words inscribed on it, which were....

Returning Ruins Arena.

Beneath the Returning Ruins Arena, the usage rules were written.

By inscribing both parties’ names on the stone tablet, they would be transported into the arena.

Once inside the arena, it is sealed until one party dies or concedes, ending the duel.

Upon reading the usage rules, the Demon Lord suddenly realized.

The Returning Ruins is filled with various Killing Arrays and Trapping Arrays...

Moreover, these formations were not artificially arranged but born from the Returning Ruins itself.

This so-called Returning Ruins Arena was clearly a combination of a Trapping Array and Killing Array.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, the Demon Lord’s lips curled into a smile.

"Haha."

"Hahahaha!" The Demon Lord suddenly laughed aloud, saying, "Yin Celestial Son! Yin Celestial Son, it seems fate intends to end you!"

As the Demon Lord was about to inscribe Yin Celestial Son’s name on the Returning Ruins Arena’s stone tablet.

He suddenly realized, he couldn’t write Yin Celestial Son.

Both he and Yin Celestial Son are Tier One, and now, with the Demon Lord tangled in cause and effect, with misfortune looming.

If he really brought Yin Celestial Son over, and couldn’t handle him, he’d have nowhere to run.

After a moment of hesitation, a bright idea appeared in the Demon Lord’s mind.

The Demon Lord thought, if I can’t handle you, Yin Celestial Son, could I not handle your main body?

Lin Yuan, you’re in for some trouble.

With this thought, the Demon Lord unhesitatingly inscribed both his and Lin Yuan’s names.

As for whether he can achieve victory, the Demon Lord is brimming with confidence.

As a dignified Tier One, even if tangled in cause and effect, with misfortune looming, he could easily handle Lin Yuan.

...

...

Mysterious World.

East Sea.

Lin Yuan was discussing future development plans with Elder Bai and others when suddenly, an inexplicable energy enveloped him.

Under the watchful eyes of others, Lin Yuan mysteriously vanished.

The next moment, Yin Celestial Son appeared out of thin air, wielding his most potent Power of Six Paths Reincarnation, hoping to retain Lin Yuan.

However, his Power of Six Paths Reincarnation was directly dissipated by a mysterious force.

"What?"

"A power beyond Tier One?" Yin Celestial Son exclaimed in shock.

Yin Celestial Son took a deep breath, calming his heart to ponder where this power beyond Tier One originated from.

"Lord Yin Celestial Son, where has Lin Yuan gone?"

"What on earth happened?"

"Is it those Four Great Primordial Spirits causing trouble again?"

...

...

Everyone, including Elder Bai, expressed their concerns, asking one question after another.

Yin Celestial Son shook his head, responding, "It can’t be the Four Great Primordial Spirits; their strength cannot reach here, nor do they have the capability to take Lin Yuan away right in front of me."

"This matter is peculiar; I haven’t figured it out yet."

"However, you needn’t worry, Lin Yuan shouldn’t be in danger at the moment."

As the main form of Yin Celestial Son, no matter where Lin Yuan goes, there will always be a connection in the unseen.

If Lin Yuan were in danger, Yin Celestial Son would sense it immediately.

...

....

"Where is this?"

"How did I end up here?"

"Who is messing with me?"

Lin Yuan looked around; in front of him was a dense primeval forest.

Before Lin Yuan could think, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

It felt as if some primordial fierce beast was watching him from behind.

"Zing!"

A piercing sound came from behind Lin Yuan, and he quickly turned to look.

It was a pitch-black spear aiming right at his back.

The spear-wielder behind him was none other than...

Demon Lord?

It was him, he wanted to kill me.

Suddenly, cold sweat streamed down Lin Yuan’s forehead.

The Demon Lord was indeed a Tier One powerhouse.

For a Tier One powerhouse aiming to kill him, Lin Yuan had no chance to fight back!

As Lin Yuan stood in a daze, the pitch-black spear was already upon him.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Human King Armor activated, shielding him from the Demon Lord’s attack.

"Clang!"

A sound of metal clashing reverberated as Lin Yuan was knocked flying, heavily crashing to the ground.

Blood seeped from the corner of Lin Yuan’s mouth, yet his face showed disbelief.

At this moment, even the Demon Lord who launched the surprise attack showed disbelief.

"How are you so weak?"

"Why am I so weak?"

Lin Yuan and the Demon Lord spoke in unison.

The Demon Lord was an undoubted Tier One powerhouse, launching a surprise attack.

Logically, that spear should have killed Lin Yuan despite having Human King Armor.

However, the spear merely caused Lin Yuan internal turmoil, with blood at the corners of his lips, not even gravely wounding him.

While the two were puzzled, a voice echoed in their ears.
