Chapter 776: Chapter 495: Entry! (Double Chapter)

On the vast land, three figures gradually approached, appearing before their eyes.

"Human race?"

These three figures had no demon qi emanating from them, so the remaining demon crowd instinctively regarded them as human race.

"No, these three guys have neither demon qi nor human race aura..."

"Are they puppets? Or..."

As the three drew closer, a flash of inspiration struck a demon’s mind.

"They are undead corpses! Those terrifying undead corpses of An Province!"

"Undead corpses? Never heard of them? Are they very ferocious?"

"Well, hard to say, they’re neither demon nor human, they have no clear stance, but the bloody cases caused by undead corpses are numerous..."

"Everyone, let’s go for now to be safe..." Some demons, knowing of the brutal deeds of An Province’s undead corpses, sensed trouble and began withdrawing promptly.

"Hmph, what undead corpses? In simple terms, they’re just those undead walking corpses of An Province!" a Barbarian Bear half-demon said disdainfully, clenching his fists and stepping forward to block the three undead corpses.

The Bear Demon’s huge hands formed fists, revealing sharp claws between the knuckles, striking fiercely towards the three undead corpses.

He had old grudges with these living dead of An Province, hence his rage upon seeing them.

The massive bear power descended, exerting strength equivalent to hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Among the three undead corpses, Song Changping frowned sharply, while Song Chang’an’s eyes already flared with red light, ready to confront.

But the leading one, dressed in black, with skin like frost, simply raised his hand slightly, and a terrible evil yin qi rapidly spread, seemingly gripping the Bear Demon by the throat, freezing his movements.

The evil yin qi permeated the bear’s entire body, and before the Bear Demon could unleash a terrified howl, he had already lost consciousness.

The evil yin qi invaded the body, freezing it into an ice statue.

The undead corpses continued on, stepping over the frozen Bear Demon, heading towards the entrance of the Celestial Ruins Realm, each step spreading evil yin qi, consuming the surroundings.

Crack! Crack!

The Bear Demon, previously frozen, suddenly moved again, his whole body covered by a thin layer of frost, stiffly turning around to obediently follow behind the three undead corpses.

His face transitioned from blankness to a gradual restoration of wild savagery, though the lingering evil yin qi on him made him appear different than before.

"It’s an Evil Yin Ghost!"

An elderly demon, who had lived long, shivered, whispering in a muffled voice.

An Province had numerous monsters that lost themselves after being invaded by evil yin qi, collectively known as Evil Yin Ghosts.

And clearly, the powerful Bear Demon had also become one such Evil Yin Ghost.

It seemed like he was directly transformed on-site by that undead corpse, now controlled like a puppet monster.

"Never heard that undead corpses have such abilities..." The old demon, though experienced with An Province’s demon realm, had never seen undead corpses with such capabilities.

As the three undead corpses approached, the demon crowd backed away further, as the example of the Bear Demon served as a vivid warning, best to avoid entanglement with these undead corpses.

"So this is the place..." Song Changming looked at the distorted space, feeling a bit hesitant.

"Big Brother!" Song Chang’an looked at his big brother, knowing decisions outside were usually made by Song Changping.

Song Changping saw the leading undead corpse enter without a backward glance, the Evil Yin Bear following suit, and looking back at the scattered demon crowd below, he made his decision.

"Go!"

...

A vast land covered with scattered sand, nothing but desolation as far as the eye could see.

Suddenly, a strong current from the sky scattered the sand, sending shards flying.

With a whoosh, a figure was suspended stably a few centimeters off the ground.

"This is the Celestial Ruins Realm..."

Song Changming looked at the sand underfoot, raising a hand as gang qi flowed, lifting some grains into his hand.

Feeling the rough, tangible texture, murky air, and the scarce spiritual qi residue, everything affirmed the authenticity of this realm.

This was indeed a real place!

"But, where exactly is this place?"

It was like being teleported here suddenly, making him curious whether he was still in the Nine Provinces of the Ancient Abyss Country.

Or was this, as the outside world claimed, truly another world space.

But who possessed such divine techniques to create such an independent and stable massive space?

Ultimately, what was the origin of the so-called Secret Realm?

Song Changming’s personal traverse through the space-time tunnel had piqued his curiosity and interest in this realm even further.

Looking around, he was the only figure in this desolate sandy expanse.

Situ Ming, and the others who entered with him, were nowhere to be seen.

He wasn’t surprised by this, knowing beforehand that entering the entrance to the Celestial Ruins Realm would disperse everyone randomly.

Reuniting depended on luck.

The sky was a dim yellow, with raging sandstorms in the distance blocking his view, obscuring any further details.

Song Changming attempted to spread his perception, quickly realizing it was severely restricted.

Originally extending up to hundreds of miles, it now only spanned a few miles around.

An unseen force firmly bound this place.

Not only was perception restricted, but even the master’s power within his body felt suppressed.

All energy was the same in this regard!

Song Changming activated the Thunder Seed within, estimating its power while watching the lightning flicker at his fingertips.

"Looks like everyone who comes here will have their power suppressed."

After a brief adaptation, Song Changming randomly chose a direction to float low across the distance.

No matter what, it was necessary to first explore the surrounding area.

Besides this expanse of sand, the Celestial Ruins Realm must have other substances.

As he moved forward, the yellow wind swept over ever-present desolation and solitude.

After about half an incense stick’s time, Song Changming slowed slightly.

Ahead loomed a massive sandstorm, akin to a giant Wind Beast, bellowing with an open maw, obscuring all and consuming everything.

Unafraid of the winds and sand, Song Changming did not plan to retreat or seek a different path.

Soon, the sandstorm swept in with thunderous noise.

Master’s power gathered around him, calmly deflecting all the winds and sand, maintaining his composure.

Continuing against the wind, he traversed the storm after fifteen minutes.

The unending sandy expanse remained, making Song Changming frown deeply.

The Celestial Ruins Realm’s internal space far exceeded his expectations; given the endless desolation, he wondered how long he’d be stuck here.

He wasn’t here to sightsee sand and barren lands; otherwise, he could have gone to Feng Province.

Then again, it made sense.

If treasures and opportunities were readily available in the Celestial Ruins Realm, not so many Martial Arts Grandmasters would have returned empty-handed.

Not wanting to dawdle, Song Changming flew skyward, summoning the Witch Soldier Seal and vanishing atop the crimson Cloud, leaving only sonic booms that echoed through the air.

After about an hour of travel, Song Changming, though still amid the sandy wasteland, finally made a discovery.

Amid the sand, he found remnants of ruins, an ancient site half-buried under sand.

This discovery lifted his spirits slightly.

Previously, Bian Bohong had mentioned that most treasures and opportunities in the Celestial Ruins Realm are found among creature skeletons or ancient ruins.

Finding ruins signaled a chance of discovering treasures and opportunities.

But just as Song Changming approached the ancient ruins in the sand, he locked eyes with a pair of Demon Eyes.

More accurately, three Demon Eyes!

By the ruins, the King of the Nine Netherworlds, standing several meters tall and exuding immense power, raised his head, gazing calmly at the arriving Song Changming.

"Human Race Grandmaster..."

...
