The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 555: The Natives Battle the Outer Realm

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

“Get over here, Yellow Fur of the Deity race!” Ouyang Feng was challenging the Deity race’s young god Luo Yi. He was still in his toad form with gold streaks all over his body. He stood up straight and drew back the corners of his mouth as he stuck out his frog tripe.

Luo Yi’s complexion was gloomy. He had a head of long, golden hair, which made him appear martial. But in the end, that big-mouthed frog had said that it was yellow fur!?

His gaze was cold, and his killing spirit filled the air. Additionally, his competent general, Yin Bo, had been captured, and two others had been killed. This put him in a bad mood.

However, with his self-reliant status, he didn’t want to talk with the toad. He coldly swept his gaze away and ignored him, instead of looking toward the ten dilapidated ships.

He thought this was the biggest threat!

Ouyang Feng instantly felt out of sorts after being ignored and said, “Yellow Fur, did you not see this king educating you?”

He was actually being challenged like this. Luo Yi’s face was incomparably cold. He was from the Deity race, so how could a toad dare to challenge him?

“How are you worthy?!” Luo Yi’s voice was chilly and his pupils were like an icy spring in the dead of winter.

“Say one more sentence if you have the guts, and see what happens. I’ll beat you so hard that even your father won’t recognize you!” threatened Ouyang Feng.

Many people nearby felt a sense of disorder because they thought it wasn’t real at all. Who would normally dare to face the Deity race’s descendant like this?

They couldn’t even imagine this kind of thing.

“Who will kill him for me?” Luo Yi pulled out a dazzling longsword and asked the surrounding people who would be willing to kill Ouyang Feng on his behalf.

This was a kind of self-confidence, but even more so a type of contempt. He was aloof and remote; even at this type of juncture, he was still disinclined to pay any attention to Ouyang Feng. He wasn’t willing to personally attack and made his subordinates kill it.

Ouyang Feng was furious—his opponent still truly saw him as a toad, not as a divine beast! He felt an incomparable loathing due to the irreverence.

Then there was chaos nearby as a battle had already broken out. Numerous undead creatures jumped down from the ten large ships and charged forward. There were all kinds of terrifying sounds rising and falling in succession.

“Aou, roar, moo...”

“Die!”

A great battle broke out as the army of undead creatures charged and attacked the hundreds of visualization level divine sons and saintesses.

At the same time, the ten dilapidated ships floated in the air like gods of death. From time to time, they would shoot black lights and participate in the siege operation.

The destructive power of these rotten-smelling ships was clear to anyone with eyes. Even Luo Yi’s capable general, the man wearing white clothes with jade-green hair had been eliminated in body and soul.

Kunlun was no longer peaceful as violence thoroughly broke out and cries of “die!” shook the sky.

Ouyang Feng and the Deity race’s young god were increasingly unable to cope. This was because Luo Yi had already given the golden longsword in his hand to a youth so that he could kill the toad.

Meanwhile, the Deity Race’s young god Luo Yi stood there activating the war chariots. They targeted the large ships and prepared to attack proactively.

The war chariot beneath his feet was no common object since it had followed a saint as he fought everywhere. Back then it crushed many vital stars in its path, and its terror was boundless.

Now, although it was broken, it was still an important treasure to Luo Yi. It was a strategic weapon.

“Die!”

The black-haired youth at Luo Yi’s side had a medium build and carried the gold longsword in his hand. His luminous arms were emitting beams of gold light similar to raging flames as he moved to attack Ouyang Feng.

“Who will kill him on my behalf? Soldiers attack soldiers, generals attack generals. Fighting him is beneath me.” Ouyang Feng yelled. He turned and looked around. Aside from Chu Feng and the yellow yak, he didn’t think the old donkey and the others were well-matched adversaries for the black-haired youth.

He instantly looked toward the sky and exclaimed, “That bastard of the Deity race is always emitting light from head to toe. It’s like he sees himself as the sun! However, he’s always followed by a couple of lackeys. On the surface, it looks like doing so can raise one’s standards. In the future, I’ll do that too. Sh*t, looks like now I have no choice but to attack.”

Whoosh!

The toad rushed over. His two legs landed on the ground, and his front limbs were as nimble as human arms. He carried a cold and threatening black long blade. “Yellow Fur’s brother, Black Fur, get over here!”

“Give up your life!” That black-haired youth’s whole body was emitting wisps of black light, and the aura of death was scathing. He was already unable to hold back and threw himself forward.

Dong!

The instant the two people charged into each other, the gold longsword and the black long blade collided and emitted piercing divine radiance. At the same time, the energy was like raging waves beating against the shores and undulating fiercely.

The surrounding mountains all trembled. They would certainly have been destroyed were it not for the fact that they belonged to Kunlun.

Clink! Clank! Ching!

The two of them traded blows. The cold light was dazzling, and the gleam from the edges of their swords was eye-piercing. The swords’ auras surged intensely and frightfully.

As for areas further away, the battle there had long since broken out. A group of divine sons and saintesses couldn’t bear the suffering as they sank into the undead army and were under siege.

Each of the ten ships was completely full of nearly thirty thousand undead creatures. Now, nearly twenty thousand soldiers were jumping down. Even though there were only a few visualization-level undead beings among their ranks, this was still terrifying.

This “sea of people” tactic was unfathomable.

It wasn’t that there was no one who wanted to run. Throughout the battle, some faced away from the Kunlun mountains, wanting to run away.

However, there were still ten ships floating in midair carrying Big Black, the Manchurian tiger, Yellow Ox, the old donkey, and Chu Feng who were watching at all times.

A booming sound echoed out!

A beam of black light flew out. One of the dilapidated ships shot out a light beam that condensed the energy of thousands of undead beings. It instantly exploded and killed one of the divine sons who was trying to run away!

As soon as such a situation came about, it caused an abrupt change in the other divine sons and saintesses’ countenance. The ten dilapidated ships were all huge killing machines that blocked their road to retreat.

This was especially true when they realized the ten ships were blasting them to death from above—they would certainly suffer huge losses. How many people could be fearless in this situation?

“Undead battleships... objects of the demon race’s legends. Humph, you think they can’t be dealt with? It’s not as though they’re saintships. I’ll destroy you!”

Now, the Deity race’s young god was shouting. He drove the war chariot up toward the heavens. There were still some people at his side. These were not only his most loyal followers but also his strongest men. They all stood closely on the golden war chariot and pressed forward with him.

Boom! Boom!

Even though this war chariot had previously been destroyed and had only been forcibly reassembled, now it was still very terrifying. After all, this was the vehicle of a saint! Light beams burst forth from it and undulated like a vast ocean of energy.

There were slashes from blades, holes from arrows, and numerous other cracks covering the chariot. They were all left over from past battles. The saint had previously ridden it as he charged through enemy lines. Now it circulated a remnant secret power; an aura of immortality filled the air.

“Die!”

The Deity race’s young god shouted. His tall body stood on the chariot, and shocking light beams burst forth as he drove it. A godly splendor permeated from the cart and formed a curtain of light that protected them. Afterward, he directly charged toward one of the dilapidated ships.

Boom!

Black and gold lights simultaneously increased in the sky as they attacked one another. In the instant that followed, the large ship and the war chariot encountered each other and collided, using energy to cross swords!

It was like a tsunami, like the water of the four seas breaching a dike. There was a whistle in the sky followed by endless piercing energy beams.

Bang bang bang...

In the first round of violent fluctuations, that dilapidated ship suffered some damage, and some undead creatures had fallen off during the vibrations.

Needless to say, the Deity race’s broken war chariot was very terrifying. After all, it was once used in the campaign against the heavens, and some of its residual heat could still be unleashed.

“If one ship isn’t enough. How about two ships, or three ships!”

The black yak directly threw away the cigar and violently waved a hand. It wasn’t just two ships or three ships. In the end, he commanded five ships to crowd around him together and attack the Deity race’s war chariot.

The black light here increased instantly, and a gold and red clouds surged!

There was chaos in the sky as energy surged up violently. It became an area of destruction.

Meanwhile, the battle on the ground was becoming more and more fierce.

“Die, Black Fur! You’re pissing me off!”

Among them, Ouyang Feng and the black-haired youth’s battle was the most eye-catching. The toad had become unbearably angered because this youth’s true form was surprisingly a black swan.

The Deity race’s young god had chosen this person to go to battle and wield his gold longsword. He’d obviously made the black-haired youth attack Ouyang Feng in order to make fun of him.

Ouyang Feng understood that this was a type of provocation, telling him that he was punching above his weight.

“If you were a female swan, then I’d forget it and admit defeat. But you’re male after all, and you coordinate with Yellow Hair to provoke me. Truly wretched!”

Ouyang Feng went mad. He picked up the black blade and started frantically hacking and chopping. In the end, he pulled out his own unique picture scroll to resist the black swan race’s divine son, who was at the pinnacle of the visualization realm.

This divine son had seen Ouyang Feng’s picture scroll before and it was indeed terrifying. It was an image of divine birds and auspicious beasts worshiping the divine king. He naturally made an all-out effort and activated his own picture scroll. He also put his visualization-level techniques to use as he battled the toad in a fight to the death.

“I’m without rival. Even if you’re of a higher realm, I’m already prepared to defend. You’re not worthy of being my opponent. Divine King Heaven Ruling Diagram!” roared Ouyang Feng.

Each of the creatures in the picture scroll rose up and flew out around him. A true dragon swinging its tail, undead birds letting out long cries, a qilin looking up at the moon, the taotie swallowing the heavens...

Now it wasn’t even just the Kunlun mountains area—even the people in space were shaken. This could definitely be counted as a peerless picture scroll. It was truly extraordinary!

Bang, bang, bang!

The black swan race’s divine son unleashed his technique, but he was still struck so hard that he coughed up a mouthful of blood and fissures appeared all over his body. It was obvious that he was on the brink of death.

“Come here!” Up in the sky, the already passive and tottering young god’s war chariot swooped down to rescue the black swan divine son. He didn’t want to lose him.

“Where do you think you’re going!?” roared the Manchurian tiger. Meanwhile, Yellow Ox was blowing into a snow white conch shell. Suddenly, five of the dilapidated ships encircled, obstructed, and intercepted them. Then they attacked the chariot.

Dong, dong, dong...

The chariot was shaken and nearly flipped over upon being hit.

With a whooshing sound, the black-haired youth was forcibly led by the Deity race’s young god to the area near the chariot. However, at this time, the toad had nearly caught up. He was surrounded by all kinds of divine beasts and auspicious animals flying and charging forward for the kill.

“Show mercy!” It was the black yak who had shouted these words. Ouyang Feng felt he almost misheard him.

The black yak explained and said, “Haven’t you felt it? He’s strong. He’s one of the Deity race’s young god’s right-hand men and is extremely valuable. In a moment, we’ll capture him alive and sell him!”

However, these words came a bit too late. Once Ouyang Feng’s painting was opened, he would become incomparably strong. With a pop, he ripped off one of the black swan race’s divine son’s arms, causing him to cry out in pain.

However, in the end, this person escaped.

The black yak said, “Don’t worry, not a single person will escape. All the meat will be in the pot. They’ll all be sold, so don’t carelessly kill them!”

“You’re courting death!” The Deity race’s young god was furious. His head of golden hair stood up, and his pupils were as sharp as knives. His howl shook the heaven and earth.

The Kunlun mountains were shaking and rumbling.

At this time, more than two hundred visualization-level divine sons and saintesses on the ground felt the circumstances were terrible and anything but reassuring. Some people had already been caught alive and had fallen into the enemies’ hands.

Also, these people had been scattered and surrounded individually by groups and groups of undead creatures. They were isolating them and then hunting them down without letting them gather.

The situation was extremely chaotic!

Boom!

The Deity race’s young god was up in the air and his whole body blossomed with gold light beans. He was more resplendent than the sun, and his voice shook this part of the heaven and earth as he said, “Who dares to fight me!?”

Chu Feng was the first to stand up. He had waited so long for this moment!

However, Ouyang Feng was fast as well. He shouted, “I’ll kill you!”

However, the most spectacular thing was a child who looked about five or six years old. He too had a head of golden hair and big blinking eyes. His eyelashes were very long and abnormally pretty. He shouted with a somewhat young and tender voice, “I will!”

What was more, this child had already moved. He charged from high up in the sky to meet Luo Yi in a decisive battle!

It wasn’t just those divine sons and saintesses in the Kunlun mountains who were shocked—no, every person from every race in the universe was staring blankly. A child was going to meet the enemy in battle!?
