The Sacred Ruins Chapter 601 - Other Shore

Chapter 601: Other Shore

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

This place was completely dark. The pillar was aged and abnormally coarse as though it was an object which had passed through the long months and years.

Additionally, there was blood on the stone steps that hadn’t yet dried to this day. Every one of them was as tall as a person and didn’t seem like it was made for humans to use.

Chu Feng felt as though he had fallen into an icehouse. He went cold from head to toe after being shocked out of his wits and nearly falling down just now.

Who would’ve thought that when he looked up amidst the gloomy silence, a black silhouette would be sitting there and looking down at him? It was indeed sowhat frightening.

One had to know that he was a stowaway. He was feeling guilty at heart, afraid that he would be given away at the end of the reincarnation path. In the end, he suddenly encountered such a creature.

It had to be known that there were hundreds of millions of spirits falling down into the abyss like dumplings. Even true dragons and undead phoenixes had slid down amidst mournful cries.

It could be said that this place was extrely perilous since even normal passengers were failing.

Chu Feng was a stowaway who had crossed over along with the humanoid creature with the golden talisman in his hand. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for him to arrive here.

He was sowhat distressed. He felt that he shouldn’t have cried out loud and, instead, pretended not to know. He should probably have stayed muddled just like that humanoid creature with the golden talisman.

However, he found no movent after a mont of waiting.

He didn’t dare use the Fiery Eyes at such a juncture, so he couldn’t see clearly just what that black entity was.

Now that things were so silent, Chu Feng revealed an odd expression. He was rather bold, else he wouldn’t be here, either. At this mont, he leaped upward toward the stone steps.

Behind him, the man with the golden talisman also moved. He seed to be quite confused and simply imitated what Chu Feng was doing.

Chu Feng didn’t pay him any attention because he wanted to explore this place well after crossing over. There was actually a different world beyond the land of reincarnation. What was this so-called “other shore”?

There was a shrine at the top of the nine steep steps, and the figure Chu Feng had seen just now was sitting there.

“A clay idol?!”

Chu Feng was astonished. It was completely different from what he had imagined just now. A while ago, he had felt that sothing was watching him. But when it approached, it turned out to be a clay idol.

To be precise, this idol was covered in dust and corroded by the passage of ti. There was no way to tell at this mont if it was a male or female. It only sat there without the slightest of movents.

It was human shaped and of more or less the sa height as a normal human being. Its clothes were fairly old, simple, and almost barbaric, a fashion Chu Feng had never seen before.

The simple beast skin clothing almost looked like a monastic robe. It was full of dust, and its shape was difficult to make out, however, one could sense that it was made of leather.

Chu Feng observed in detail but ca to no particular conclusion after quite a while.

In the end, he looked around and found that there was no one else. So he activated his Fiery Eyes to scan this clay idol.

But at this mont, the light entering his eyes were extrely dazzling and even painful. The clay idol’s old clothes were simply too brilliant and probably even more fantastic than any treasure. It gave Chu Feng a stifling sensation.

Chu Feng’s heart began beating like a drum. Just what kind of statue was wearing this supre, ultimate combat robe?

He quickly closed his eyes and stopped his ability. At this ti, he realized that his stone box was heating up, and the mountain and river diagram upon it was lighting up with a golden glow.

His heart began beating fast. The unintelligible runes on the stone box were reacting?

Chu Feng’s heart sank because he realized that he would’ve died if he didn’t have this stone box.

As expected, when he looked back, the man behind him was trembling on his knees. It was as though he had seen an incomparably terrifying matter.

Moreover, the golden talisman in his hand had started burning from one corner. There was a terrifying aura spread out from him which seemingly threatened this person.

At the sa ti, Chu Feng noticed that the countless spirits trying to jump over to the other shore were instantly shattered into motes of light.

Chu Feng drew a breath of cold air. He simply couldn’t imagine what origins this old robe on the clay idol possessed.

As he saw it, even an ultimate weapon wouldn’t be any more powerful than this. A re glance with brilliant eyes had produced such a terrifying backlash.

Curse it!

This clay idol was unfathomable and even sowhat terrifying. Was it really clay underneath all that dust? If it was a body made of flesh, then just how many years has it been since it last moved?

Moreover, he carefully sensed it and found that there was no life coming from it. The evening mist hung thick here and filled everything with a withering, deathly stillness.

And this robe was simply too shocking. Chu Feng couldn’t help but size it up once again. This ti, he didn’t use the Fiery Eyes and only used normal sight to observe.

Under the thick layer of dust, there was a dao hymn emanating from within. Chu Feng was dazzled because he seed to have seen the true nature of this robe.

That was an incomparably terrifying beast. It appeared in the starry skies with its bloody maw wide open, and its roar could shatter the galaxy, killing countless evolvers in misery.

When it moved, a single turn of its body could bring it to the ends of the universe and close to the primal chaos.

This... Chu Feng was shocked. That was the remnant will within the robe or it could be considered the dao hymn left behind by the beast. All of it culminated in a projection of the past.

“It’s likely a heaven-illuminating expert, a forbidden beast!”

Chu Feng was badly shaken because he had seen the might of heaven-illuminators. They were able to destroy planets with a flip of their hands and cause races of long histories to completely disappear.

It wouldn’t be excessive to call such a creature a forbidden existence. It could tear apart the galaxy and destroy a field of stars. To them, killing a saint was as easy as flicking a finger.

A drop of their blood could wipe out an entire orthodoxy, and a single hair could cut apart the starry skies and slash open a top-ranking evolver.

Chu Feng was sowhat afraid. This robe was of such great origins?

Afterward, he started to doubt life when he saw the beads of bones on the clay statue’s hands.

It was made up of horns, teeth, and dao bones left behind after a spark. Every piece was extrely big and no less powerful than the beast-skin robe itself.

Chu Feng stood there in a daze, absolutely confused.

At the sa ti that he was shaken, he really wanted to say that it was too damaging. Wasn’t it such a waste for a clay statue at the end of the reincarnation path to be wearing these things?

He really wanted to take it down and wear it. If he could take it out, a casual shake would be enough to kill an expert.

But he didn’t dare take action because he almost brought a calamity upon himself just by looking at it with his Fiery Eyes. If not for the stone box, he would certainly have died in both form and soul.

“What a disgrace, what a waste! So many treasures on display here, aren’t you afraid they’ll beco hairy with mold?”

Chu Feng reckoned that soone who dared dress in such a high profile manner in the outside world had to be a top expert among the heaven-illuminators. In truth, their strength might be ranked toward the top, or might even be within the first few!

He searched around for a long while, but there was nothing else here.

Afterward, Chu Feng sat down beside the shrine and glanced at that person in the distance. “Didn’t you say you’ll rember everything once you reach the end of reincarnation? Why do you still look like an idiot?”

That person did indeed look dumb. With the golden talisman in hand, he sat there half-kneeling in a daze and stopped moving for quite a while.

He was startled after hearing Chu Feng’s words and imdiately knelt down. Then, he began worshipping Chu Feng and the shrine with the talisman in both hands.

For a split second, so odd changes happened. The golden talisman in his hands transford into an incense stick with a rune carved upon it. It lit up on its own and began emitting a lingering cloud of smoke around the shrine.

“You’re worshipping , too?!” Chu Feng revealed an odd expression.

Afterward, he felt his wrist tighten as the wisps of golden smoke drifted over and curled up around his hand, turning into a tangible matter.

What? Was he going to enjoy offerings just like a god?

Afterward, he discovered that most of the golden fus were absorbed by the clay statue. The bone string on its hand began glowing with wisps of golden light, and a great part of the smoke disappeared into it.

“I’m gaining so benefits?!” Chu Feng’s expression was odd.

He knew how heaven-defying this golden talisman was. It was very likely used by a supre being to protect his descendants, an act akin to paying a toll along the journey. And now he was sharing a part of this offering.

This was too strange. Did this land of reincarnation involve bribery? Could it be that one could cross over to the other shore and gain extraordinary fortunes with a supre character’s talisman in hand?

As expected, Chu Feng’s conjecture ca to be.

After enjoying the offering of the golden talisman, the terrifying string of beast bones on the clay idol’s hand began to glow. It illuminated the stone wall to the side and therein appeared a hole filled with auspicious mists.

The man kneeling on the ground imdiately beca excited. He kowtowed to Chu Feng and the clay statue earnestly before standing up and rushing into the cave.

At this point, a strand of violet mist flew from the primal chaos and rged into the man’s body. He seed to have woken up at that split second.

“I was reborn by virtue of the fortune of heaven and earth. With the primal chaos added to my body, I’m destined to beco an ancestor. Who can contend against ? I’ll break down all of the ancient roads connecting the cosmos. Ah, I seem to have worshipped two divine statues, that’s odd.”

That person muttered to himself. He wanted to turn back, but a wisp of violet mist surrounded him and, with a whoosh, whisked him into the ancient cave filled with brilliant lights.

Chu Feng’s expression was one of shock. Even though he had followed millions of souls to this place and had seen his fair share of ghosts, he was still badly shaken at this point.

That was because he had figured out so things from listening to that man.

He didn’t know if those hundreds of millions of souls were able to reincarnate, but that man just now had indeed succeeded.

Moreover, he had obtained a great benefit and even retained his mories.

Whose thod was this? Chu Feng was sowhat suspicious. This kind of heaven-defying ability wasn’t sothing a creature from this cosmos could employ.

The glowing cave vanished and everything regained its calm. Only the stone wall remained.

“That is a strand of violet mist from the primal chaos.” Chu Feng’s thoughts wandered.

That was because this thing was too similar to a certain fortune recorded in the photon computer. A child who was born with a strand of violet chaos mist would be called a heaven’s child.

That was because he could easily beco a saint in the future. After that point, he would be destined to beco a heaven-illuminating forbidden character.

“I just let go of a great fortune. That brat... has reincarnated, and directly beca a heaven’s child?!” Chu Feng drew in a breath of cold air.

Then, he suddenly heard the sounds of people speaking. The clear sound shook his heart!
