The darkness in Great Ruins was silent yet bustling . The former was for people who had no abilities, hiding in the villages and ruins . If one was powerful enough, the night in Great Ruins was extraordinary bustling .

Walking at that time, one could see all kinds of strange sights and encounter countless supernatural incidents . If there was fate, they could even enter marvelous worlds . Of course, it was another matter regarding if they could come back alive .

The night in Great Ruins was exceptionally charming . Since a snowstorm had just ended, lumps of snow hung on the branches which shone when light landed on them It was as though the surroundings were adorned with silver clothing .

The sky suddenly became incomparably bright, and numerous lifeforms raised their heads in Great Ruins . The darkness was suddenly filled with numerous bright colors .

But they weren't formed from natural phenomenon . Instead, they were originated from the explosions of magnificent divine arts that burst out into b.a.l.l.s of light, lighting up the world .

The darkness seemed to be a substance, however . It might get forced back by the lights, but it would flood back every time, filling up the void .

The rays of light changed, growing weirder and weirder . The lifeforms in Great Ruins saw the stars moving quickly, tussling and battling against one another .

The movement of the stars in the sky was very weird . There were eighteen at the front and two stars behind them . The stars at the front were rus.h.i.+ng ahead while the other two were chasing and hara.s.sing them .

Every time the eighteen stars stopped and prepared to encircle their pursuers, the two stars would run to the west . The eighteen stars wouldn't chase, and the two stars would then catch up to hara.s.s them again . When the eighteen stars gave chase once more, the two stars would escape with all they had .

This happened over and over again, halting the progress of the eighteen stars, making it hard for them to unleash their full speed .

Beside the bonfire in a ruin, Elder of Discipline looked at that sight, and a slither of hope renewed in his heart . Heavenly Devil Patriarch and Daoist Ling Jing's motive was to delay the G.o.ds of High Heavens and not clash with them head-on . If they continued with that, there might still be hope of surviving .

Suddenly, the stars in the sky dimmed and disappeared

Elder of Discipline's heart sunk . The G.o.ds of High Heavens had decided to hide their traces, baiting Heavenly Devil Patriarch and Daoist Ling Jing to go search for them . As long as they came forward, they would be encircled .

"Don't go…"

Elder of Discipline grew nervous, and he grabbed his collar as though he was grabbing his heart . He stared relentlessly at the two stars that were moving in the sky .

"Don't go close, don't go close! Quickly run—"

The two stars moved about in what seemed like hesitation . Suddenly, they also dimmed and could no longer be seen .

The sky turned dark once again, once everyone hid their traces .

The corners of Elder of Discipline's eyes twitched, and his heart pounded heavily, each beat being more violent than the last one . He was extremely nervous .

Everyone had hidden their traces, and they had to fumble and seek each other in the dark . This period of time was the most dangerous . Heavenly Devil Patriarch and Daoist Ling Jing's options were much more limited than those of their opponents, who could wait or just leave . Heavenly Devil Patriarch and Daoist Ling Jing couldn't wait too long, since they had to ensure that the other party did not leave!

Finally, a star lit up . One star gave off light .

The next instant, the sky flared up when all kinds of strange divine arts burst forth, drowning out the star . There were dragons and phoenixes, clocks, buildings, cauldrons, and paG.o.das of all kinds of strange shapes, all of which were dazzling to the eyes .

The power of those divine arts erupted, and the dark sky was once again lit up with different colors, driving away all the darkness at once . Eighteen majestic G.o.ds and devils could be faintly seen flying above, their faces either solemn or malicious . Their limbs were st.u.r.dy, and as the rays of the divine arts fell on their bodies, runes of all colors floated up .

The one who was encircled by their attacks was Daoist Ling Jing; Heavenly Devil Patriarch was not with him .

"Daoist Ling Jing is the bait!"

Elder of Discipline's heart trembled violently . As the bait, Daoist Ling Jing would surely die . No one could survive after being surrounded by the attacks of eighteen G.o.ds and devils .

Daoist Ling Jing's aim was to use himself as a sacrifice to lure out the eighteen G.o.ds of High Heavens!

That would give Heavenly Devil Patriarch a chance to land a sneak attack!

Daoist Ling Jing's abilities were extremely powerful . He was also one of the strongest people back in the day, even daring to fight with Village Chief for the t.i.tle of number one in the world . However, he was defeated and lost a finger .

Yet when it came to launching a sneak attack, he couldn't do much with that .

Heavenly Devil Cult's teleportation clothes and teleportation flag were the best methods to go about something like that . If someone lured out the eighteen G.o.ds out, Heavenly Devil Patriarch could easily launch a sneak attack, which would be their only chance to severely injure them!

"Ling Jing Eight Methods!" An inspiring shout came from the sky and shook the hearts of the people . "Cease to exist from now on!"

Elder of Discipline raised his head to look at the final sight of Daoist Ling Jing . Even though his Ling Jing Eight Methods were not inferior to Village Chief's Sword Picture, they were useless against the attacks of eighteen G.o.ds .

He was simply going to unleash his ultimate art of which he was the proudest . He was like an artist splas.h.i.+ng ink as much as he liked to exhibit his talent, like a scholar using all he could to write an essay . He wanted to leave his mark in the world, his shadow .

At that moment, a huge flag swept open, and Heavenly Devil Patriarch appeared behind the devil G.o.ds, landing lethal attacks on them .

The flag swept over him, and his figure seemed to appear beside all the G.o.ds at the same time, attacking all of them at the same time . In just an instant, he injured over ten G.o.ds and devils .

Thunder rumbled in the sky . When the sounds of the explosion from the divine arts traveled outward, many new attacks had been made .

The shockwaves of the divine arts caused the air to be sometimes warm and sometimes freezing cold . Hurricanes swept down from the sky, and the snow melted before coming back just as quick .

Heavenly Devil Patriarch's teleportation flag was shredded . It was destroyed in the terrifying shockwave of divine arts, but he still had his teleportation clothing .

Elder of Discipline raised his head to look and saw blood raining down from above . It started with a drizzle before becoming heavier and heavier .

One of the twenty stars moving in the sky dimmed and wavered . Suddenly, it went out in a fierce collision, falling from the sky .

Daoist Ling Jing was dead .

Elder of Discpline's face dimmed . Only Heavenly Devil Patriarch was left . and he was still battling . Even if he was skilled in the Seven Writings of Creations in Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures, it would be hard for him to change the outcome of the battle .

In the ruin, Elder of Discipline didn't raise his head to look at the battle in the sky anymore . Instead, he stared at the flames of the bonfire, subconsciously adding more firewood to it .

The flames grew taller and taller, and the intensity of the heat also grew, yet he couldn't feel anything at all .

"Why is this winter so cold…"

He s.h.i.+vered from the cold and added more firewood . "What's wrong with this fire? No matter how fierce it is, it's still so cold . How is it still so cold when I added so much firewood…"

Another star dimmed in the sky, before bursting forth with light again . It was exceptionally gorgeous, lighting up the sky .

"A marvel of creation, the light and shade it dominates!"

A shout tore through the darkness, inspiring and shocking .

Dong .

The melodious sound of a bell came from the sky, rus.h.i.+ng in all directions . It faded away soon after, and the marvel of creation ceased to exist .

The lights in the sky gradually dispersed, and the darkness slowly came back after the explosion .

A star had fallen .

Elder of Discipline buried his head in his hands and didn't say anything .

He was waiting for daybreak, to retrieve the corpses of the two old men .

In the sky, the eighteen stars paused for a moment before continuing to head east .

Great Ruins' G.o.d Broken Mountains were sharp as a blade, their peaks were covered in snow . In the sky, flood dragons were rus.h.i.+ng toward them .

The wind was strong and blew their whiskers and mane backward .

Beside Qin Mu, Si Yunxiang was trying to use Heart Inspection Mirror to contact the young patriarch . Moments after, she fell into a daze . "Patriarch said that he won't be coming back . He said that you guys don't need to miss him . "

Qin Mu was stunned, and Granny Si turned her face around to secretly wipe away her tears .

"That old guy actually left earlier than us . " Village Chief was stumped for words and could only sigh . "He's as impatient as ever . "

They came closer and closer to G.o.d Broken Mountain Range, and their eyes went past, looking into Great Ruins that were shrouded in darkness .

Over there, they could see stars moving in the sky, rus.h.i.+ng in their direction .

"Mu'er, stop on the mountain!" Village Chief suddenly ordered .

Qin Mu gave a command, and the flood dragons lowered their speed . They stretched their bodies while their bladelike claws clasped onto the mountain peaks to stop themselves . With their fluttering whiskers and strong bodies, they crushed numerous Mysterious Pearl Crossbows .

The snow was white while the mountains were black . The flood dragons, however, were of all colors, like white, black, red, and even sapphire blue . Their bodies shone with light which came from the natural rune markings of their race . They shone upon the snow, giving it a colorful hue .

"Let's have the battle here . " Village Chief looked around and asked, "What do you guys think about this place?"

King Kun examined his surroundings and said, "Very good, it's just a little cold . "

Tuxing Feng jumped down from a dragon's back and pulled his clothes tighter around himself . He muttered, "This d.a.m.ned place is still so cold, being warm underground is still the best . Human Emperor Qin, if you go to the underground world of our Earth Travelers, your horizons will definitely expand .

"The whole underground world is covered in jade gla.s.s and thick crystals hanging from the ceiling . There are those with six and eight edges, all cl.u.s.tered together like brightly colored decorations . With the light from the magma reflecting off them, they are so pretty . There are also numerous plants that grow in the magma and taste amazing . They burn your throat like fine wine, but the taste lingers on—"

"Stop speaking . " The serpent on Xu Shengwu's shoulder gulped down its saliva . "I'm getting hungry just from your descriptions . "

Tuxing Feng raised his head to look at the stars that were closing in, and he grabbed his sharp horn-shaped hammer while muttering, "I wonder if I'll have the chance to return underground for another bite . Our underground world still has Flaming Fruit, which is born from the magnetic element force . That taste…"

Village Chief looked at Qin Mu and said, "Mu'er, bring the dragons and your little wives down the mountain . You are not needed here anymore, just remember to collect the corpses tomorrow . "

Qin Mu nodded and called the dragons over . He then brought Si Yunxiang, Hu Ling'er, and Yan Jingjing down the mountain . In the sky, the stars were getting closer and closer .

"Are we just going to look at them fighting for Eternal Peace?" Si Yunxiang was not willing to just leave like that . "What can we do? Can we really not do anything?"

"We can go to Great Ruins!" Qin Mu's gaze flickered . "We can find Sun s.h.i.+p and Moon s.h.i.+p! But this darkness is blocking our path! However, we have a powerful bodyguard . Where's Surging River Dragon King?"

"Dragon King is here!"

Under G.o.d Broken Mountain Range, river water churned as a huge dragon rose from the darkness . Coiling himself, he lowered his huge head . "What's Your Majesty's command?"
