Chapter 38: The Four States of Qingjing, Demons from Outside the Territory
From the outside, the entrance of the cave doesn't look big, but once you step inside, it seems like a different world.
There is no dim passage, but a vast stone chamber. In the stone chamber, there are stone pillars erected, and there are palaces in the distance. Even if you use your senses, you can't figure out how big this stone chamber is.
At first glance, it seems that the entire dark mountain has been hollowed out, leaving only a shell standing outside.
Qin Wuji and others who had entered earlier had disappeared without a trace.
Wang Buwen came to a stone pillar and looked up and down.
These stone pillars are all engraved with strange patterns, which look like lines, but also resemble ancient ferocious beasts. They are so weird that even Wang Buwen can't figure out whether these are formation patterns or ordinary patterns.
"Did you see anything?"
Xue Ningyu on the side asked curiously.
Wang Buwen shook his head, frowning and thinking. He always felt that this ruins was very strange. It didn't look like an ordinary ruins, but more like a forbidden place where some kind of great terror was sealed.
"Senior sister, how did you get the news about this ruins in the first place?"
"I traded that token from someone else. At first I just thought the token was a little weird, but then I accidentally discovered that there was a route to a ruins hidden in the token."
Wang Buwen nodded gently and said in a solemn voice: "Let's go, be careful!"
After saying this, Wang Buwen walked through these stone pillars first and walked towards the distance. Xue Ningyu did not stop and followed behind Wang Buwen, looking at the stone pillars and keeping an eye on the surroundings.
"Tap tap...!"
Except for the faint footsteps of Wang Buyen and Xue Ningyu, there was no other sound in the entire Stone Pillar Forest.
While walking, Wang Buwen always felt an uncomfortable feeling, as if someone was watching him from the side, but when he looked around, there was no other living thing except stone pillars or stone pillars.
He secretly circulated the power in his body and was on full alert. He held two top-grade gravity talismans in his palms. If anything happened, he would directly use the gravity talismans to cover the place where he was, giving himself time to react.
The entire stone pillar forest is very vast, like a maze. Walking in it, you can't even tell the direction. Wang Buwen and Xue Ningyu can only move forward based on their feelings.
Just as Wang Buwen walked past a stone pillar, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Without thinking, he crushed the gravity talisman in his hand.
"boom!"
The terrifying gravity is like Mount Tai, covering the entire area dozens of miles around. The void in this area is even distorted in a manner visible to the naked eye.
"Buzz!"
Wang Buwen immediately pulled Xue Ningyu back, his eyes fixed on the place where he had stood before.
I saw that what was planning to attack Wang Buwen were actually two stone pillars. At this moment, two claws stained with black energy were protruding from the stone pillars. If Wang Buwen had not used the Gravity Talisman immediately, he would probably have been killed.
These two claws tore it apart.
"boom!"
After Xue Ningyu reacted, she smacked her palm without even thinking about it. The vast power condensed into a huge palm print and struck towards the two stone pillars like a broken bamboo.
Due to the restrictions of the gravity talisman, the things inside the two stone pillars could not break free for a while, and could only watch the palm prints bombarding them.
"boom!"
A roar came, and the two stone pillars were directly shattered by Xue Ningyu's powerful palm prints, turning into two piles of stones. Then, two groups of beast shadows filled with black energy floated out from the broken stone pillars.
His red eyes without any emotion stared at Wang Buwen and the two of them, grinning as if he wanted to devour them both.
"This...this is...?"
Seeing these two beast shadows filled with black energy, Xue Ningyu seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but exclaimed.
Hearing this, Wang Buwen's heart moved and he quickly asked: "Senior sister, do you know the origin of this thing?"
However, Xue Ningyu did not answer Wang Buwen, but took action boldly.
The long legs wrapped under the skirt took a step, and the figure suddenly flew out. The jade hands were filled with astonishing power fluctuations. As Xue Ningyu clapped, the power fluctuations fell like a violent storm.
Wang Buwen stared at this scene closely and did not make a move. The aura permeating the two beast shadows was nothing more than turning into a saint. If even Xue Ningyu couldn't deal with it, then they didn't need to explore the ruins and just left.
"grumble!"
When Xue Ningyu's power fell, the two beast figures let out a piercing scream, and the black energy continued to surge, condensing into layers of shields in an attempt to withstand the impact of Xue Ningyu's power.
"boom!"
There was a roar, and as the power overflowed, layers of dust were rolled up. The two beast figures were unable to stop them at all, and were directly destroyed by Xue Ningyu's power, dissipating like smoke.
As soon as the scene turned, Xue Ningyu had floated down in front of Wang Buyen, her delicate and beautiful face full of dignity.
"This is a monster!"
Before Wang Buwen could ask, she took the lead.
"Monster?!"
Wang Buwen frowned and pondered, as if he had thought of something. He suddenly looked at Xue Ningyu and asked in a solemn voice: "Could it be that it's an evil spirit from outside the territory?"
During his ten years at Demon Zhen Peak, he had read all the ancient books on Demon Zhen Peak and also learned some ancient secrets.
They were in a vast world called Qingjing, divided into four states: Chi, Tian, Dong, and Jin. But five million years ago, Qingjing was a complete continent, surrounded by a supreme being.
There is a master, but one day, the master of Qingjing suddenly died, causing heroes to rise up together, and the flames of war spread throughout Qingjing.
It was this war that caused the entire Qingjing to be divided and turned into a land of four states.
It is said that the reason why the Lord of Qingjing fell was that he was attacked by a terrifying extraterrestrial evil spirit.
However, this news is just a legend and has never been confirmed. Since then, no extraterrestrial evil spirits have appeared. Therefore, the four characters "extraterrestrial evil spirits" have only become fonts engraved on ancient books.
"No, this is not an alien demon, it is just a monster formed after being contaminated by the demonic energy of an alien demon."
Xue Ningyu shook her head and said calmly.
If it was an alien demon, she wouldn't have the time to stand here and explain to Wang Buwen, so she would immediately pull Wang Buwen out of the ruins.
She has been a member of Daoyuan Sect for longer than Wang Buwen, and her status is not comparable to that of Wang Buwen. Therefore, she knows much more than Wang Buwen.
She didn't know whether the then Lord of Qingjing was attacked and killed by an alien demon, but she knew the terror of an alien demon!
"About 100,000 years ago, the extraterritorial evil spirits that had been mentioned in ancient books really appeared and started a shocking war. The war spread across the four states of Qing Dynasty."
"In that battle, the human race in Qingjing was almost wiped out. Later, under the leadership of an extremely powerful man, the situation was gradually restored and the evil spirits outside the territory were completely driven away!"
"This battle was deliberately concealed and sealed in ancient books. Until now, few people know about it. Even the records in Daoyuan Sect are only a few words!"
"This kind of extraterrestrial evil spirit contains terrifying evil and demonic energy. Those who are not strong-willed will be corroded and become the opponent's puppet if they are not careful."
"The two demonic figures that appeared before were monsters formed after being corroded by demonic energy."
Hearing Xue Ningyu's explanation, Wang Buwen was shocked. He always thought that the extraterrestrial evil spirits were just legends, but he didn't expect that they actually appeared in the world?
Is it possible that what is sealed in this ruins is an alien demon? Otherwise, how could a demon appear?
