This severely damaged temple is one of the ancient ruins. It is very old and its origin is difficult to verify.
Ren stepped into the square in front of the temple, came to a sculpture with almost only the base left, and picked up a piece of rotten iron from the ground.
"It is unimaginable that the sculptures made of eternal cold iron have rusted and rotted."
The cold iron that could last for thousands of years is now like a piece of rotten wood that has been corroded and moth-eaten, breaking into pieces with just a pinch.
It is really hard to imagine what period this temple was built in.
Broken sculptures, collapsed high walls, pitted gray floor tiles...the bricks and tiles are full of ancient charm, full of vicissitudes of time. From the faded and blurred murals and the remaining traces of reliefs, one can vaguely imagine the former glory of this place.
Time is the most ruthless force. With the vicissitudes of life, the ruins are already covered with ivy. When the wind blows, there is a slight whimpering sound from all around, as if lamenting the passing glory.
This temple has stood like this for many years, like a silent witness witnessing the evolution of all spirits in the secret realm.
At first, few adventurers came to this ruins because there was nothing of value here.
However, since the "Great Sage" Jacob placed the famous spear Star Wings here more than 1,400 years ago, every once in a while, the temple will become lively and become the focus of much attention.
Today, this supposedly forgotten place once again welcomed a large number of uninvited guests.
"The famous gun is placed here? But there is nothing." An adventurer looked around and asked doubtfully.
"Be patient. It is said that the great sage Jacob once repaired some restrictions in the center of the temple. Every time the secret passage is opened, the underground altar will rise at noon the next day." There are adventurers who know the situation.
explained.
More people remained silent, wary of those around them.
It can be seen that many adventurers are still injured and their weapons are stained with blood. It is obvious that they have experienced a lot of fighting during this period.
There are resources to compete for, dangerous beasts to deal with, and people who specialize in robbing other adventurers... You can imagine the intensity of competition in the secret realm.
Yesterday alone, hundreds of people died.
The adventurers who are still alive are cautious and wary of strangers.
When Ren and the witch arrived at the central area of the temple ruins, thousands of people had gathered in this area, which was as lively as a vegetable market.
Ren was a little speechless and said: "Didn't you say that everyone knows that there is little hope of getting a famous gun, so why are so many people coming?"
The total number of people who entered the secret realm this time was only five or six thousand, which was one-fifth of the number.
Don't underestimate this number. There are treasures everywhere in the secret area. Giving up harvesting resources and rushing to the temple means that these people basically have ideas about famous guns.
The witch twitched her face, shrugged her shoulders, and said:
“There are many pretentious people in this world.
No one else can do it, but I am special. Maybe the master that the famous gun has been waiting for is me, and I might be able to do it... Everyone has this kind of idea, such as you, do you think so too, right?
"
At the end of the sentence, Josefina stretched out her fair hands, pinched Ren's cheek, and said with a smile, "Little man, you are also very pretentious."
Ren rolled his eyes and raised his hand to slap her dirty hand away.
What happened to being pretentious?
I am special...who hasn't thought about it this way?
Because everyone is the protagonist in their own lives and has their own little world, it is normal to have this kind of thinking.
What's more, he has the objective conditions to seize the famous gun.
As someone who possesses the power of the stars and is a military leader, he cannot be recognized by the famous gun, and it is even more difficult for others.
In any case, an ownerless famous gun is a fatal temptation for most adventurers.
Even if you were just a weakling at first, you might be able to take off after getting a famous gun.
It is this kind of temptation that can reach the sky in one step. For more than a thousand years, countless adventurers have rushed to this temple one after another, trying to obtain the famous gun, but no one has been able to succeed.
"How long will it take for the altar to come out?" Ren asked, looking at the silver ring-shaped high platform in the center of the temple.
It's obviously been restored there.
A two-meter-high round platform with a diameter of hundreds of meters. The interior is made of unknown materials. The surface is covered with a layer of special silver metal. It is engraved with words such as "non-grinding", "thorns" and "energy absorption".
Rune spells.
This is the handiwork of the great sage Jacob.
In the fourth era, the Secret Realm of Hundred Flowers can only allow a middle-ranking saint to enter.
Therefore, the great sage used a clone of the middle saint level to arrange these things.
Nowadays, the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm allows at most the fourth-level peak experts to enter, which makes it impossible for Ren and the others to destroy the arrangement of the great sage, and they can only wait patiently for the famous gun to be born.
The witch stretched out her right hand, her palm glowing with scarlet light, touched the steel side wall of the round platform, and said:
"There are still three hours left. After enough energy is absorbed, the mechanism will open."
Ren nodded, found a step to sit down, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Waiting is boring.
Moreover, before the underground altar could be raised, trouble came first.
"The captain, she was the one who killed the deputy captain!"
On one side of the round platform, a middle-aged man wearing armor and a scar on his face pointed at Josefina and walked over with a fierce expression.
Behind him were hundreds of mercenaries.
The leader was a muscular man wearing a black eyepatch and a silver skull necklace hanging around his neck. He was tall, carrying a mace, and came towards him with a fierce momentum.
Hundreds of mercenaries surrounded the witch aggressively.
This scene naturally attracted the attention of many adventurers present.
Seeing the charming witch surrounded by a group of muscular men from the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group, some adventurers shook their heads slightly, feeling that this woman would end up in a terrible situation.
However, Josefina did not panic at all, she pursed her lips and smiled sweetly:
"Oh, isn't this the leader of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group, Mr. Lombard? What brought you here?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Wind of Death!"
Lombard snorted coldly, picked up the mace on his shoulder, and put it heavily on the ground.
clang!
The multiple iron spikes on the mace hit the floor tiles, sparks shot out and stirred up a circle of dust, showing its sharpness and weight.
But the witch was not frightened at all, and the smile on her face did not change.
The hungry wolf Lombard glared at the witch fiercely and said:
"Smelly woman, hand over that thing, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Yesterday, the deputy leader of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group and the witch discovered those space gourds at the same time. They found that the witch was a bit difficult to deal with, so they sent someone to call for them.
But Renn arrived first...and then it was over, and those dozen mercenaries rushed into the street gloriously.
The witch smiled coquettishly, but her voice was sarcastic as she said:
"If you don't avenge your brothers, you'll ask for things first. Haha, is this the style of the Hungry Wolf Mercenary Group?"
"Woman, you are looking for death!"
The hungry wolf Lombard was originally a little afraid of this witch who killed more than a dozen of them, but after hearing this, he could no longer contain his anger.
Of course, it's mostly greed.
It doesn't matter if the brothers are dead, Qiushan Kingdom has never lacked desperadoes, just recruit them.
The most important thing is those space gourds, which add up to at least 100,000 gold coins, which is a lot of wealth.
Lombard smiled ferociously, grabbed the mace, and a circle of lava-like flames lingered on it, ready to aim at the witch's head.
But at this moment, a cold gaze from the side fell on him.
Lombard's body stiffened, and it felt like his neck was being pressed against by two gleaming blades, giving him goosebumps.
"I killed the person."
Next to him, Ren looked at him with an indifferent look, holding the silver cross sword in his hand, showing no anger or authority.
Lombard's pupils shrank, and after seeing his face clearly, he frowned and said:
"Earl Conor...what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I already have the stuff in my hands and I won't hand it over."
"..."
Lombard obviously didn't know that the witch was a member of the Faloran Sword Master. After hearing his words, his face became uncertain.
His younger brothers were also a little agitated and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The woman's origins are a bit unknown, but they are not afraid. Their boss is also a veteran low-level saint, but the Sword Master Farolan is...
The hungry wolf Lombard's eyes flickered, and he was very hesitant in his heart, thinking whether it was worth it to have a conflict with a sword master for a few space gourds.
Reason told him that it wasn't worth it, but when he thought that more than a dozen people had died on his side and he hadn't gotten anything yet, he felt very unwilling to do so.
Seeing hundreds of brothers standing behind him, he suddenly felt confident and said without hesitation:
"Earl Conor, you are too overbearing. This is in a secret realm. Give me the things and I can pretend that none of this happened."
Greedy, unruly, and bold, these mercenary traits are vividly reflected in him.
Lombard knew that he could not defeat a sword master outside the secret realm, but as long as he got the treasure and left in the chaos, could the sword master Farolan still go all the way to the Qiushan Kingdom to hunt him down?
Ren's eyes turned cold, he gripped the hilt of the cross sword and prepared to shave the opponent's head.
rumble!
At this moment, the silver round platform vibrated twice, the mechanism rotated, the steel plate in the center moved outward, and a beam of light shot into the sky.
In the brilliant light, an altar rises, as if it were made of gold. A huge clock-like corona-shaped sculpture emits a dazzling golden light in the center, like a rising little sun.
Everyone could hardly open their eyes under the brilliant brilliance. Ren raised his hands to cover his eyes and narrowed his eyes.
The bottom of the altar is a base composed of layers of steps made of white jade. The steps are constantly rising, holding up the corona of the sun.
Gradually, the corona rose to a height of two hundred meters, and the jade steps emitting pure white luster stood on the earth like a silver pyramid.
The corona shines brightly, like the bright sun across the sky, and a man's figure flashes in the light.
The man's appearance was ordinary and his body was almost transparent. He was not a real person. However, the aura that shocked the past and the present and the terrifying coercion that was like the sky covering it seemed to have directly crossed the long river of history and spread throughout the entire audience!
This momentum is too domineering and powerful.
Ren stared directly at the phantom, and suddenly felt dizzy, his head was buzzing, and he almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, he felt like a star suddenly fell down above his head. The blazing light and extreme high temperature could instantly evaporate the oceans and melt the continental plates. The violent sun's flames burned people's flesh and soul...
…
The witch quickly pulled him and said:
"Don't look at it. It's said to be the brand of the Sun King. This power is directly embedded in the space laws of the secret realm, which is equivalent to the world consciousness of this small world..."
This is simply not a force that anyone can fight against.
This is also the reason why Baihua Secret Realm has no owner yet.
If you want to occupy the Secret Realm of Hundred Flowers, you must confront the remaining will of its old owner, the Sun King, and defeat him.
In the past two thousand years, many king-level powerful men, such as successive popes, have sent avatars here. They were even able to allow the king's true body to enter at first, but no one could defeat the Sun King's brand.
Of course, as long as you don't look directly at the Sun King's mark and don't try to occupy this secret realm, there will be no danger.
Renn looked away, not sensing the phantom, as if the pressure from the sky disappeared in an instant.
He asked curiously: "Was the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm opened by the Sun King?"
The witch immediately shook her head and said: "No, but he has taken over. According to the records of the first generation of nightmare witches, he cultivated something here, a tree.
When he was approaching his old age, he forcibly stripped off the treasure, which caused the spatial structure of the Baihua Secret Realm to be unstable and unable to accommodate strong power.
Maybe in another thousand years, even the fourth-level transcendental beings won’t be able to enter, or the secret realm will simply collapse.”
When Ren heard the witch's explanation, his expression remained unchanged, but there was a huge wave in his heart.
He has a feeling that what the Sun King is cultivating here is a world tree!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After seeing with his own eyes the imprint left by the Sun King and exploring the environment in the secret realm, he became more certain of this guess.
This idea instantly broke through a lot of fog and made Ren suddenly realize it.
Why can all kinds of exotic plants with different growth habits such as red heart grass, yellow spring flower, space gourd, and moon spirit vine grow in this secret realm of flowers?
Because there once was a mature world tree here.
The World Tree has the effect of nourishing all things.
The world tree of Dacheng has changed the rules of the secret realm, turning the land here into an omnipotent fertile soil where almost any plant can thrive.
At the same time, for a small world, the World Tree is almost like the backbone of the Pillar of Heaven.
The Sun King finally stripped off the mature World Tree, causing the loss of the original power of the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm and making the spatial structure in the secret realm unstable.
As a result, the upper limit of the power that Baihua Secret Realm can hold is getting lower and lower...
At this point, it seems that all the secrets are revealed.
But soon, Renn had some new questions in his mind.
Sun King, why don't you plant the World Tree in your own domain?
Where did he get the World Tree seeds?
The most shocking thing is whether there is any pollution on the World Tree seeds he got...
If there is...
The thought that the Sun King might be contaminated by the power of the outer gods made Ren's hair stand on end.
This is so scary. If the Sun King falls, I can't imagine what a terrifying existence he will become.
'No, there's something wrong...'
Ren soon realized that there was something wrong with his thinking.
If the Sun King was contaminated by the power of the outer gods, then history would not be like this. Even when he was more than 400 years old, he was still fighting against the demons and working hard for the future of mankind.
In the end, he had a decisive battle with the Demon Emperor and others, attacked the Realm of True God, and then disappeared.
From beginning to end, the Sun King did not show any abnormality, nor did his personality change drastically.
Thinking again, the Sun King did not cultivate the World Tree in his own domain, but chose the Secret Realm of Hundred Flowers...
Ren's heart was shocked, and he looked at the surrounding ruins and the lush green vegetation further away, his eyes became a little weird.
this……
Is it a matter of substituting one thing for another, or is it a golden cicada escaping from its shell?
I always feel that the Sun King has done something extraordinary.
On the altar, the brilliance of the golden corona gradually dimmed, and the mark of the Sun King only appeared for a few minutes before disappearing.
Of course, He is still there, just hidden in the void.
Ren could feel a strong will wandering in the sea of clouds above the altar, as powerful as the eternal blazing sun.
Anyone who wants to occupy this secret realm can look directly at Him, feel Him, and have a spiritual contest with Him.
Of course, this is an act of seeking death.
Ren tried it just now and couldn't hold on for three seconds.
Some people were even worse. In just a few minutes, more than 50 extraordinary people fell to the ground. They were all bleeding from their orifices and had no breath of life. To be precise, there was no soul wave in their bodies.
These people all wanted to seize control of the secret realm and died in the backlash.
Wren failed, but he could at least quit midway.
Many people's souls collapsed the moment they felt and touched the mark of the Sun King.
It cannot be ruled out that some unlucky people did not understand the situation and jumped into the street in confusion.
"It's too scary. Is this the power of the Sun King? How can we fight against this kind of power?"
"Of course there is no confrontation. Why, do you think you are stronger than the Demon Emperor?"
"..."
After briefly feeling the pressure of the Sun King, nearly a thousand adventurers present discussed the situation, with shock in everyone's eyes.
Such power is completely beyond their understanding.
No wonder the dozens of dark monarchs who could be beaten lost their voices. Mentioning his name, many ancient demon strong men still gnash their teeth with unspeakable fear...
The king's mark disappeared, the brilliance of the sun's corona faded away, and a starlight suddenly appeared on the altar again.
"Look, a famous gun is about to be born!"
"This is an opportunity. It is simply unrealistic to seize control of the secret realm."
"It's not realistic to seize a famous gun."
"..."
The crowd became excited, some of them blushed and stared at the altar.
The 999-story silver steps held up the altar from all directions, like a silver pyramid. At this time, a stone table slowly rose next to the golden corona.
There is a bright silver Force firearm placed on the table, shaped like a firecracker, but there are triangular decorations on both sides of the gun body, like a pair of silver wings. The surface of the gun is flowing with light, and some mysterious spells are vaguely visible.
Is that Star Wings?
Ren stared at the gun and suddenly opened his eyes.
There are cracks...
There were many shocking cracks on the gun body, and it seemed like it was about to break.
Next to her, the witch suddenly widened her eyes and lost her voice:
"No, how is this possible?! The carrier made by the great sage Jacob using meteorite iron actually cracked..."
She obviously knows something.
But except for Ren, no one noticed her words because...
"Is it time to open the secret realm again?" A clear voice came from the barrel of the gun, resounding in everyone's mind like a soul-cleansing voice.
Then, the light lit up, and the brilliance as bright as the Milky Way intertwined and flickered in the void, forming a pair of huge wings of light!
boom!!
Then, under everyone's shocked eyes, the wings flapped, endless starlight surged like waves, and a mythical creature with feathers carved from starlight gems, like a blue phoenix, flew out of the gun and soared into the sky!
The blue phoenix bird spreads its wings and flies, the stars burst out, like a thunderous beam of light shooting straight into the sky, the earth-shattering momentum set off boundless air waves.
Witch Josephina raised her elbow to block her eyes and said in shock:
"Has the Star Soul grown to this extent..."
There was a loud roar in the sky, the space shook, and the stars appeared in the daytime. The sun, moon, and even the stars in the sky were all reflected in the sky!
At the same time, in the ruins of the temple, there are sculptures that have long since collapsed and broken. Humans, elves, orcs, mountain giants, goblins... In ancient times, the shadows of various races of creatures flashed like fleeting shadows in the starlight.
There seemed to be an ancient and desolate sacrificial sound ringing in everyone's ears.
It corresponds to the stars in the sky above, and to the creatures of all races below.
