"Something wrong?"
Hearing that, Ye Hao was startled, then his eyes lit up, the Spiritual Sense quietly swept out, after a long while, it did not discover anything, and he could not help but ask: "Uncle Shen, nothing is wrong."
"Underground." Shen Jiuyou reminded him in a low voice.
Ye Hao's face did not reveal even the slightest hint of change, but the Spiritual Sense quietly dug into the ground. Very quickly, everything between the ground and the ground appeared in front of his senses.
"What is this?"
After the Spiritual Sense entered the ground, Ye Hao couldn't help but slightly squint his eyes as suspicion surfaced in his eyes.
As far as he could tell, in addition to the sand, the soil, and the insects' churning, there were also many strange ravines underground. They were just like lines that interweaved from all directions, seemingly formed naturally and in disorder, but after Shen Jiuyou's reminder, Ye Hao also detected a trace of a strange charm and fluctuation from these lines.
Even though Ye Hao was a Spiritual Array Master and the perception of the Spiritual Sense was much sharper than that of ordinary cultivators, if Shen Jiuyou had not deliberately guided him, even he would not be able to notice this, let alone the others, even if the Spiritual Sense had gone into the ground and detected these ravine patterns as well, it would have definitely missed it at the first possible moment.
With doubts in his heart, Ye Hao called Han Yitian and Qin Chixiao and began to inspect the vast ruins without a change in their expressions.
Several hours later, as Ye Hao traversed throughout the ruins, he was shocked to discover that the area beneath these ruins was filled with this kind of disorderly and random looking gully pattern. It was like an incomparably huge spider web that encompassed the entire Devil Spiritual Ruins.
This was an extremely obscure and extremely vast project. It had to be known that this was the capital of the Devil Spirit Dynasty back then, and the area it covered was even more vast than the current Great Yan Imperial City.
It was impossible for him to complete the imprints on the ground in such a large range in a day and night.
Liu Tie slightly frowned and aimlessly walked between the ruins. He did not tell Han Yitian and Wu Tie his discovery because not only him, even Shen Jiuyou was momentarily unable to see the effect of the ravine's lines on the ground.
"Let's go to the extreme edge of the southeast to take a look."
The current him was too weak. The Spiritual Sense was unable to cover the entire Devil Spiritual Ruins, and only by fragmenting it and analyzing it would he be able to figure out the true use of the lines.
Ye Hao nodded and said his farewells to Han Yitian and Han Yitian. They went to the southeast edge of the relic alone, and then under Shen Jiuyou's guidance, they went back and forth between the ruins.
Just like this, a day passed in the blink of an eye.
The Devil Spiritual Ruins at night, because there were many people who came to seek fortuitous encounters, did not seem too desolate. Instead, it was rather lively.
Ye Hao and the other two men were sitting around a bonfire, roasting some small animals in their hands. Listening to the laughter coming from the surroundings, Han Yitian suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Ye Hao, why are you so weird today?"
Ye Hao had spent the entire day shuttling between the ruins. Strangers did not notice anything out of the ordinary, but Han Yitian and Qin Chixiao were too familiar with it and were keenly aware that something was wrong.
"Did you discover something?"
Han Yitian's eyes lit up. His sneaky look caused Ye Hao to shake his head speechlessly. "Be careful of the Bloodknife Sect, let's not split up later on."
As for the mysterious engravings on the ground, he didn't have a clue. Even Shen Jiuyou couldn't fully investigate them and was still trying to figure them out, so he temporarily couldn't come up with any conclusions.
However, what was certain was that the vast underground project would definitely not be completed in a day or two. To be able to accomplish this within the Devil Spiritual Ruins, it could only be done within the Bloodknife Sect that occupied this area.
Furthermore, thinking about how, during this period of time, his Bloodknife Sect had abnormally stopped collecting passing Spiritual Stone, which made Ye Hao even more uneasy.
Because he knew that there was no one in this world who would go against Spiritual Stone. For no reason at all, once the Bloodknife Sect changed from its usual style, there would definitely be a conspiracy.
Han Yitian and Qin Chixiao also nodded slightly when they saw Ye Hao's serious expression. They did not ask any further, but they were more cautious in their hearts.
The night passed in silence.
On the second day, the Devil Spiritual Ruins shone slightly with the light of the sun, and once again, gradually became noisy.
Under Ye Hao's instructions from yesterday, Han Yitian and Qin Chixiao could be said to be following him without leaving a single inch behind. Although they seemed to be aimlessly walking within the ruins, Ye Hao's route was all guided by Shen Jiuyou.
At the same time, Ye Hao also discovered that there were quite a few people who came to the Devil Spiritual Ruins today. It seemed that the news of the Bloodknife Sect not collecting the Spiritual Stone had spread, causing the rogue cultivators who were stopped in the past to flock there.
"What exactly is going on in this Bloodknife Sect Gourd?" Ye Hao's eyes revealed a pondering look. Within the Devil Spiritual Ruins today, there were at least thousands of people, and there was no feeling of desolation like the ruins at all.
Another three days passed.
Aside from a large number of rogue cultivators, there were also many other families in the capital that came as well. Ye Hao and the others even met a few disciples from the Tianxuan Academy, but after recognizing them, they all respectfully paid their respects.
"Uncle Shen, haven't you figured it out yet?"
On the fourth day, when Ye Hao followed Shen Jiuyou's instructions and walked through every single specific location in the relic, he could not help but ask. Currently, there were at least three thousand people in the Devil Spiritual Ruins, and if it were not for the vastness of this place, it was likely that it would not be able to contain so many people who came here to seek good fortune.
"Things are getting a bit complicated. The lines and lines of the ravines underground seem to be in disarray, but they all have a subtle connection to each other. It's definitely a Spiritual Array diagram." Shen Jiuyou said in a deep voice. If it wasn't for his soul being extremely weak, he would have been able to see through the secret underground the moment he entered this place. There was no need to waste so much time.
"Spiritual Array Diagram?" Ye Hao's expression changed slightly, and he asked with doubt in his eyes, "Why is the Bloodknife Sect inscribing a Spiritual Array Diagram in the ground?"
Although the Spiritual Array was ever-changing, it did not deviate from its original path. The Spiritual Seal referred to the Spiritual Array Diagram and set it up in a specific position in the world, triggering the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth's resonance and creating all kinds of wonders.
Moreover, Bloodknife Sect inscribing the Spiritual Array Diagram on the ground was completely meaningless to Ye Hao.
Because if Bloodknife Sect Master Liu Qingyang wanted to set up the Spiritual Array, he could just directly use the Spiritual Seal to do the set up according to the Spiritual Array Diagram.
"This is not an ordinary Spiritual Array." Shen Jiuyou's experience far surpasses Ye Hao's, "This Spiritual Array, accurately speaking, should be... "An altar."
"Altar?"
"This kind of altar could be said to be a branch of the Dao of Spiritual Array. The key point is to activate the power of the mountain range and the power of this altar is extremely strong. Shen Jiuyou explained.
Ye Hao nodded as he muttered to himself. Then, his expression slightly changed as he said, "Does that mean that we are deeply immersed in the Spiritual Array?"
It was no wonder Ye Hao's expression changed. They might not be in danger if the Spiritual Array was not activated, but if the Spiritual Array was activated, from the looks of it, its power would be extremely terrifying.
"Don't worry, although I don't know what use Spiritual Array is, it is easy for Old Master Shen to break it. Later on, Old Master Shen will teach you how to change the trajectory of the marks, even if the Spiritual Array is activated immediately, it will not harm you at all." Shen Jiuyou said proudly.
Hearing this, Ye Hao was slightly relieved. With Shen Jiuyou's attainments in Spiritual Array, even if Bloodknife Sect Sect Master Liu Qingyang was a master of Spiritual Array, he would still not be able to reach Shen Jiuyou. The two were simply not on the same level.
"Look!" In the sky... "What is that?!"
"Spatial folds!" There is another space above?! "
"Hidden Space... must have been left behind by the Devil Spirit Dynasty back then! There must be some incredible lucky chance inside! "
Just when Ye Hao's mind was calming down, a series of wild exclamations rose and fell across the entire Devil Spiritual Ruins.
Hearing that, Ye Hao also suddenly raised his head. He saw that above the ruins, the void that was originally empty now had ripples appearing on it like water waves.
Any cultivator that had entered the mystic realm would immediately realize that there was another hidden space above the ruins.
"Ye Hao!" Look! "
Han Yitian and Qin Chixiao also exclaimed with fanatical expressions.
At this moment, the thousands of cultivators within the Devil Spiritual Ruins had all gone completely crazy.
The Devil Spirit Dynasty had been destroyed for a thousand years, and the mighty Devil Spirit Body had been completely cut off from the legacy and was never obtained by anyone.
In the air above the Devil Spiritual Ruins, there was actually such a hidden mysterious space. It was extremely likely that there was the history of the Devil Spirit Dynasty, and perhaps even the inheritance of the Devil Spirit Body.
"Charge!"
In an instant, the strongest Burning Fire Stage Cultivators below all rose up from the ground and flew towards the folds of the sky.
Bang!
However, even though those few people had Burning Fire Stage cultivation s, the moment they touched those spatial folds, it was as if they collided onto an unshakable mountain, and were easily bounced back, heavily smashing onto the ground.
Boom boom!
Bang!
"..."
From the Body Tempering Stage to the Burning Fire Stage, everyone was like a fish leaping through a dragon gate as they continuously sprinted forward. They wanted to enter the mysterious space above, but they were all repelled by an unimaginable force.
Even Han Yitian and Qin Chixiao, if it weren't for Ye Hao pulling them down, at this moment, they probably wouldn't be able to restrain the madness in their heart and would start to attack like the others.
"Ye Hao, what are we waiting for?!" Han Yitian urged.
Ye Hao's eyes were also filled with fanaticism, but he did not lose his reason. At this moment, he faintly understood the uses of the vast Spiritual Array underground, and at the same time, a strong sense of danger filled his heart.
"Don't be rash, you two, don't stray too far from me!"
After shouting at Han Yitian and Wu Tie, a spirit energy astral light appeared between Liu Tie's fingers. It directly broke through the earth layer and, according to Shen Jiuyou's guidance, changed the pattern of several ravines below them.
Although Han Yitian and Qin Chixiao could not understand Ye Hao's actions, due to their trust in him, they suppressed the crazed eagerness in their hearts and stayed where they were.
At this moment, other than the three of them, it could be said that everyone other than the three of them were using their own methods. Streaks of multicolored Spiritual Energy Arts were bombarding the folds in space as if they had gone mad, but the space above them still did not change at all.
Suddenly, a boorish laughter filled with ecstasy rang out.
Bloodknife Sect Sect Master Zhu Kuang and Liu Qingyang flew up together onto a dilapidated city wall, looking down at the crazy crowd below. Other than Ye Hao and the other two, there were only two people who did not move.
"Zhu Kuang, although this Devil Spiritual Ruins is occupied by your Bloodknife Sect, but the mysterious space above, just your Bloodknife Sect alone might not be enough."
Zhu Kuang's wild laughter caused the Burning Fire Stage experts below to come back to their senses. One of them shouted with a flushed face, causing everyone to agree with him.
Although Bloodknife Sect were strong, they were able to occupy the Devil Spiritual Ruins because there was nothing special about this place. As a result, the truly strong powers did not choose to interfere in the competition.
And these few Burning Fire Stage experts, at first, had also entered the ruins rather amiably because of Zhu Kuang and Liu Qingyang's strength.
But now that the mysterious space had appeared, the thoughts of the few of them immediately turned. Zhu Kuang and Liu Qingyang, also only had Burning Fire Stage strength, so even if they were afraid, they would not be afraid.
"Hahaha, everyone, you're overthinking it!"
However, facing the shouts of the Burning Fire Stage Ranker, Zhu Kuang actually laughed out loud and said magnanimously: "Seeing a lucky chance, naturally you will get a share."
Zhu Kuang's face was dignified and rough. At this moment, it was filled with joy and excitement. Within his eyes, it was as if flames were ignited.
However, in the depths of the heat, there was a thick sense of ridicule as he looked down on the crowd.
"Actually, Sect Master Liu and I discovered this mysterious space more than ten years ago. The reason why my Bloodknife Sect occupied this place was also because of this."
Hearing that, the crowd also quieted down slightly. They looked at Zhu Kuang with a variety of expressions, and shock and suspicion appeared in their eyes.
If the Bloodknife Sect had discovered this mysterious space more than ten years ago, why would it be their turn today?
"Zhu Kuang, the luck inside …" was taken away by your Bloodknife Sect? " A Burning Fire Stage Ranker said with a serious expression.
"Haha, never." Zhu Kuang Lang smiled and waved his hand, "Back then Elder Liu and I accidentally discovered this mysterious space, but it was just like what you guys are now, unable to enter. That's why I led the Bloodknife Sect to occupy this place in order to study this mysterious space, hoping to one day be able to enter."
At this moment, everyone quieted down as they quietly listened to Zhu Kuang.
"What is worthy of being happy about is that after ten plus years of exploring, the pattern of this mysterious space's appearance has finally been discovered by us. In order to prevent this secret from being revealed, my disciples have changed groups after groups." Zhu Kuang said with a smile, but his eyes were filled with madness and coldness.
Hearing this, the hearts of everyone present, including the people from Bloodknife Sect, couldn't help but turn cold.
Especially the members of the Bloodknife Sect. At this moment, they finally understood why in those past few years, the Sect Leader would always dispatch all of them out at a specified time, leaving only a few people to guard the remains.
After they returned, the guards also mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Evidently, they were all silenced by Zhu Kuang.
"Did you know that this mysterious space will appear today?" At this time, a Burning Fire Stage Ranker squinted his eyes, feeling unsettled for some reason.
"Yes, I do." "I also know that the time it takes for this space to appear can only be maintained for two hours. The next time it appears will be two years later, and it is precisely because of this that no faction has discovered this mysterious space during this one thousand years."
Hearing this, a look of urgency appeared on the faces of everyone present, as if they were about to lose control and begin attacking the space above.
"Don't worry, everyone. It's been two hours." Zhu Kuang licked his lips, as if he was a Vicious Beast waiting to swallow someone, "Furthermore, unless this mysterious space has the power of Celestial Phenomenon Stage, it's impossible to open by relying on the strength of a single person. The only way is for all of us to work together."
"Good!" As long as we can enter this space, it's not a bad thing to temporarily cooperate! " One of the Burning Fire Stage experts nodded.
Zhu Kuang smiled sinisterly and said: "Then …" I thank everyone for their dedication. Elder Liu, make your move. "
Hearing that, everyone present was stunned, and beside Zhu Kuang, the white-haired Liu Qingyang also sinisterly laughed, many Spiritual Seal suddenly appearing between his withered fingers, and like a school of fish, they instantly entered the air above the ruins.
"This is …" Master Spiritual Array? "
"Zhu Kuang, Liu Qingyang!" What are you all doing?! "
"..."
Weng! *
Amidst everyone's deep shouts, the entire Devil Spiritual Ruins actually began to strangely shake at this moment.
At the same time, deep in the ground, there seemed to be something resonating with the Spiritual Seal in the void, as a terrifying wave faintly emerged.
"What's going on? "Liu Qingyang, what did you do?!"
"Let's leave this place first!"
Swish!
Just when everyone felt that the situation wasn't good, a greyish-white spirit energy thread suddenly shot out from deep underground. It was incomparably sharp, and it was filled with a terrifying aura, as if there were two invisible hands at both ends of the ruins, suddenly stretching out a steel wire that was buried deep underground, and spanning across the entire area of Devil Spiritual Ruins.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Broken limbs, damaged organs, they rained down like rain drops. The fine lines of spirit energy extended across the entire path, and those several dozen cultivators were instantly dismembered without even a scream.
"Damn it!"
"Run!"
"..."
In a moment of stupor, intense fear caused everyone's faces to change. Disregarding everything, they scattered in all directions, wanting to rush out of the Devil Spiritual Ruins.
"Everyone has already agreed to work together, how can you go back on your word?" Liu Qingyang smiled sinisterly, "Even if you go back on your word, do you think you can leave?"
Shua shua shua!
In the blink of an eye, ten, a hundred, a thousand shot out of the ground of the entire area of Devil Spiritual Ruins … Over ten thousand sharp and terrifying gray threads weaved horizontally to form an incomparably dense, bloody net, covering the entire Devil Spiritual Ruins.
And under this sharp and terrifying net, the thousands of people who were trying to flee, were instantly shattered into pieces. Even the few strongest Burning Fire Stage Rankers here, had their bodies sliced into many pieces, without any suspense. They were all as dead as they could be.1
The ground was instantly dyed red with fresh blood. The Devil Spiritual Ruins that had been noisy and chaotic, seemed to have instantly fallen completely silent.
Over three thousand people had died in an instant, leaving only the corpses on the ground.
The only ones left were Zhu Kuang and Liu Qingyang, who were standing unscathed on the dilapidated city wall. Their eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty, crazed look.
"Hurry up!"
Zhu Kuang seemed to be provoked by the ground full of corpses as he laughed crazily with bloodshot eyes.
Liu Qingyang's expression was just as dark. He formed a seal and shouted, "Heavenly Ghost Blood Spear, appear for me!"
Weng! *
Along with Liu Qingyang's voice, the tens of thousands of gray threads of spiritual energy weaved in and out of the ruins, moving strangely like living creatures and absorbing all the blood that seeped into the ground.
In the span of a few breaths, the tens of thousands of threads of spirit energy were like leeches that drank their fill of blood. Their blood-red bodies intertwined and intertwined with each other, and finally, they condensed into a terrifying Old Spear that emitted a strong stench of blood.
Sensing that the Old Spear was not weaker than the fluctuations of a Celestial Phenomenon Stage Ranker, an unprecedented fanaticism surfaced on Zhu Kuang and Liu Qingyang's faces.
"Once the Heavenly Ghost Blood Sacrifice Array is successful, it will be able to unleash an attack comparable to a Celestial Phenomenon Stage Ranker. It will definitely be able to break apart the barrier of this mysterious space!" Liu Qingyang's skinny face twisted like a ghost.
"Ha ha-ha, it's not a waste of ten years of hard work. Hurry up and make your move!" Zhu Kuang laughed maniacally.
Liu Qingyang nodded. Both of his hands formed a seal and with a sudden wave of his hand, that hundred meter long spear tip shot out like a terrifying Old Spear formed from blood toward the wave-like space above.
Boom!
The entire Devil Spiritual Ruins, as well as all of the ruins, collapsed. The countless corpses on the ground rolled away as if they were autumn leaves sweeping by.
Ka ka!
In the midst of this explosion, a sound similar to the shattering of a mirror made Zhu Kuang and Liu Qingyang ecstatic.
Under the Blood Spear's attack, the space above the void seemed to ripple like water. In the end, it cracked and crumbled, revealing a hazy scene inside. The incredibly dense Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth even poured out of the crack like a mountain torrent.
"Hahaha!" "Let's go!"
Zhu Kuang and Liu Qingyang laughed out loud. They stomped their feet heavily on the ground and rushed into the mysterious space like two shooting stars.
After the two of them left, the entire Devil Spiritual Ruins was completely dead silent. After a long while, a series of violent coughs and retching sounds suddenly came from within the pile of rubble.
