Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 316: Thousands of Years of Past Buried Deep Underground (Two in One)

"It should be here."

Continuing down, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue finally stopped at a certain location in the Chiyan Passage.

The stone steps under their feet and the reliefs around them were increasingly damaged, and only some traces of human carving could be vaguely seen from the scattered rubble. In front of the two people, the red color of the rock became deeper and deeper, almost turning into blood red, as if it was about to drip blood.

At the same time, blood-red mist began to surge in the passage ahead.

In the fog, both of them felt a sense of crisis that was difficult to describe in words.

It seemed that there was a terrible opponent hidden within.

Sure enough, they guessed it right.

This place, which was once the entrance to the Sky Stairs of the Lan Clan, is not a completely safe place even today, and there are great dangers within it.

It is this danger that has prevented one alien race after another from exploring over the past thousand years.

"Xiao Jin, go back." Lin Yue spoke softly and sent Xiao Jin back to reality.

It has not yet broken through the mythical level and can only exert the strength of the legendary level, which is dangerous in the current situation.

"Uh-huh-"

Xiao Jin snorted and quickly disappeared from the spot.

As it left, the illuminated passage returned to darkness, but the blood-red mist in front of him became clearer and clearer, with heart-pounding blood light surging in the darkness.

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue respectively coordinated with Xuegao and Xiaobai who had already broken through the mythical level. After making some slight adjustments, they stepped into the range of the blood-colored mist without hesitation.

Soon, a figure composed entirely of blood-colored mist appeared silently and pounced towards the two of them.

Judging from its appearance, it should be a dwarf demon, and the power surging in its body at this moment is about the legendary level.

He raised his hand and killed it with a knife, but Qin Chuan's expression was not relaxed.

Because the next moment, more and more opponents appeared in the blood-colored mist.

These opponents belong to various races and have varying levels of strength, with the highest reaching the legendary level while the lowest are only at the epic or even palace level.

Every time an opponent is defeated, he will immediately turn into blood-red mist and blend into the surrounding environment, and then more opponents will emerge.

This made Qin Chuan feel like he had an endless supply of killers.

"What a troublesome guy." Qin Chuan murmured in a low voice, and unfolded the Realm of Residual Frost without hesitation.

Extreme cold instantly enveloped a large area of ​​the passage. The blood-colored mist was almost solidified. Countless figures that were about to pounce from all directions were instantly frozen and then easily crushed by Qin Chuan.

"Walk."

After clearing the area, Qin Chuan had no intention of continuing to engage with these miscellaneous soldiers. He pulled Lin Yue and rushed deeper into the passage as quickly as possible.

But soon, his expression became solemn again.

Perhaps because of the increasing concentration, the blood-colored fog in deeper areas has significantly improved its resistance to extreme cold. Even if Qin Chuan turns on the frost, he can still move at an extremely fast speed.

New figures gathered in front of the two of them.

The number was much lower than before, only more than ten in total, but it made Qin Chuan and Lin Yue's expressions become solemn at the same time.

Because these bloody figures are all at the mythical level.

Lin Yue raised her hands heavily, and a realm combining illusion and reality came crashing down, covering all the mythical-level opponents in the arena. Two marks, one light and one dark, kept overlapping and disappearing above the bloody figure's head. Before these mythical-level opponents could pounce, their strength declined at an extremely fast speed.

Xiaobai, who has broken through the mythical stage, has perfectly integrated illusion and reality. He can easily complete the continuous superposition and rapid settlement of [Virtual Seal] and [Real Seal], causing continuous damage to the target equal to a percentage of the current health value.

"boom!!!"

With a roar, more than a dozen mythical figures in the passage disappeared at the same time. Lin Yue, who had achieved success in one fell swoop, showed a somewhat tired look.

Xiaobai's skill is very effective, but it consumes too much strength.

As the mythical figures were destroyed at the same time, the heart-pounding blood light in the blood-colored mist dimmed significantly. It was obvious that the gathering of so many mythical figures at once consumed a lot of the blood mist.

After rummaging for a while, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue still did not see any new mythical level appear, so they continued to go deeper without hesitation.

Soon, their eyes flashed.

The blood mist before their eyes became thicker and thicker, so thick that the two of them couldn't even see each other with their naked eyes.

But they could clearly know through their perception that the blood-red fog that filled the Red Rock Passage was almost coming to an end.

The two of them subconsciously sped up, but the next moment Qin Chuan's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly grabbed Lin Yue's hand and dodged to the side.

"boom!!!"

Accompanied by a terrifying loud noise echoing in the passage, the entire passage shook violently at this moment.

A blood-red figure whose shape could not be seen but could be vaguely distinguished as a human figure walked out step by step from the blood-red mist. Its eyes had a blood-red light that made people feel frightened. Unlike those mechanical figures, it looked like it had intelligence and looked at Qin Chuan and the others with cold eyes.

A terrifying strength exceeding the first level of the mythological stage surged throughout the entire passage.

Qin Chuan's expression was somewhat serious.

This guy's strength is infinitely close to the second level of the mythological stage.

Similar to Bai Xi, even stronger than Bai Xi.

Before he could think about it, the bloody figure appeared and roared silently, killing the two of them.

With a sigh in his heart, Qin Chuan started to stop time without hesitation.

The next moment, the bloody figure paused in the air, and then collapsed and dissipated on the spot.

The blood-colored mist completely dimmed, without any trace of blood, and the dangerous aura in it also completely subsided.

With a sigh of relief, Qin Chuan walked in without hesitation.

The appearance of such a powerful guardian made him more and more interested in everything in the deepest part of the cave.

Apart from him, no one in the first realm of the mythological stage should be able to pass the previous level. As long as the strong men in the second realm of the mythological stage have not come to explore here, the secrets deep in the cave should not have been discovered.

The remaining blood-colored mist no longer posed any hindrance to the two men. After passing through it successfully, everything before their eyes suddenly became clear.

There is light at the end of the passage.

Even without Xiao Jin's help, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue could easily see what was inside at this moment.

This is an extremely huge spherical cave with a magnificent palace suspended in the center. The dilapidated and mottled palace, with blood stains that have solidified for thousands of years, is glowing with a faint light and is the only source of light here.

On the floor of the cave, there was layer upon layer of corpses that had weathered into bones, as if telling the story of the brutality of the battle that year.

Qin Chuan could vaguely distinguish the skeletons of different races in the pile, and scenes of fighting between different races seemed to emerge in front of his eyes.

"This is the war of races." He murmured softly.

The winner lives, the loser dies.

How cruel.

"Let's go take a look at that palace." Lin Yue couldn't bear to look at the pile of bones under her feet anymore, so she turned her gaze towards the palace in the sky and spoke softly.

"Yeah." Qin Chuan nodded slightly.

The two flew to the palace entrance, slowly pushed open the broken door covered in blood, and walked into the palace.

What I see is still the wreckage.

However, compared with the bone pile outside the temple, the remains inside the temple are much less. In addition, there are many statues erected inside the temple.

There were one or two that were luckily not destroyed, allowing Qin Chuan and Lin Yue to know for the first time what the defeated Lan tribe looked like a thousand years ago.

They only have a vertical pupil located between their eyebrows instead of both eyes, and at the same time, there is an extra pair of hands behind their backs, giving them four arms.

It seems that this is a very powerful race.

If the gatekeeper had not died, they might have become another powerful opponent capable of threatening the human race.

From this perspective, Qin Chuan should be thankful.

"Look over there!" Lin Yue looked around and soon made a new discovery.

She walked quickly to a stone platform in the center of the palace, and then carefully took out a vertical pupil that was similar in texture to red rock.

For the Lan tribe, which has only one eye, the vertical pupil is obviously an important symbol. A red rock vertical pupil obviously has special meaning.

Qin Chuan took the vertical pupil and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Soon, he carefully injected his own strength into it.

With the injection of power, the color of the red rock gradually became deeper, which made Qin Chuan's eyes flash slightly.

The red rocks in the passage also have different shades of color. Is it a coincidence?
Soon, he knew.

Not a coincidence.

After the power was injected to a certain level, Chiyan's vertical pupils turned completely blood red, and blood-red mist began to pour out of them, spreading around.

In the blood-red mist, blood light kept flashing, and soon three figures gathered together.

Qin Chuan subconsciously wanted to take action, but quickly stopped.

Unlike the figure that appeared in the blood mist before, the figure that appeared this time did not attack him and Lin Yue, but attacked each other.

On one side were two figures, a man and a woman, with delicate facial features. Although their skin and hair color could not be seen, their long and pointed ears were also the characteristics of the Moon Spirit clan.

These are two Moon Spirits.

On the other side, there was a strong man from the Lan clan.

Both sides have the strength of the peak level of the first realm of the mythological stage. The strong man of the Lan clan is able to fight one against two and not be at a disadvantage.

This made Qin Chuan more certain of his previous guess.

The Lan tribe is a very powerful and warlike race.

Judging from the performance, it is not inferior to the dragon clan.

Since he was not affected, Qin Chuan pulled Lin Yue aside and watched quietly.

He had a hunch that the fight between these three figures at this moment might not be random.

Perhaps it was a real war that took place thousands of years ago.

Lin Yue had the same idea. The two exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus.

On the other side, as the battle continued, the battle situation among the three mythical figures suddenly changed.

The male Moon Spirit warrior took out an object whose outline could not be seen clearly, and pointed it fiercely in the direction of the Lan clan warrior. The next moment, the Lan clan warrior roared in pain, fell to the ground and rolled violently.

For mythical-level battles, such an impact is fatal.

Soon, the Lan clan strongman died on the spot under the joint attack of two Moon Spirit strongmen.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but shook his head.

This is the difference in racial background.

The Lan Clan has just ascended the steps of the sky and has only gained a foothold on the first step. They probably haven't reached the second and third steps yet.

On the other hand, the Moon Spirit Clan has been operating in the Sky Stage for more than 10,000 years. Not only can they send down strong men of the second realm when necessary, but the strong men of the first realm may also have trump cards directly given by the second realm or even the Moon Spirit ancestors, making it impossible to guard against them at critical moments.

This scene also served as a reminder to Qin Chuan himself.

After all, the Lan Clan built such a magnificent palace at the entrance to the Sky Steps. The current situation of the human race is even worse than that of the Lan Clan.

When facing other races, although he sometimes has the ability to stop time as a trump card, he still has to be cautious.

Don't let the boat capsize in the ditch.

Huh? It's not over yet?

Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized that the scene did not end after the death of the Lan clan's strongman.

Two Moon Spirit Mythical Stage figures straightened the body of the Lan clan warrior and laid him flat, then sat cross-legged on top of his head and under his feet respectively, with their hands making mysterious gestures. The atmosphere looked a little weird.

"What...are they doing?" Lin Yue frowned slightly, staring at the scene.

"Let's take a look." Qin Chuan shook his head slightly, his face solemn.

He had a vague feeling that what he was about to see might involve some very important secrets of the Moon Spirit Clan.

After the two Moon Spirits made some strange attempts, the strong Lan clan warrior who was lying on the ground with a strong body suddenly shrank up strangely, his flesh and blood were pulled out, and he soon turned into a corpse with only bones left.

In the air, a strong blood light flashed.

It looked like a drop of blood.

The two Moon Spirits collected the drop of blood as if it were a treasure, and then disappeared on the spot.

The blood-red mist collapsed and dissipated, and the scene ended here.

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue's expressions became more and more solemn.

"You said...are those bones outside really dried naturally?" Lin Yue spoke with some difficulty.

The war between the Lan tribe and the others happened a thousand years ago, so when they saw the skeletons outside, their first reaction was that they were caused by natural drying.

But think about it from another angle.

Is it possible that those skeletons were already skeletons a thousand years ago?

"Maybe it has something to do with the Yueling clan." Qin Chuan said in a deep voice, "But I can't figure out why the Yueling clan did this."

"Extracting and refining the flesh and blood of the dead to condense into essence, could this essence be helpful to their cultivation?" Qin Chuan touched his chin, "I always feel that this method of improvement is a bit weird."

"It sounds more like the way ghosts improve themselves." Lin Yue shook her head slightly.

As the two were talking, the blood-colored mist quickly shrank as the picture collapsed and returned to Chi Yan's vertical pupil.

An astonishing energy wave suddenly erupted from Chi Yan's vertical pupils, which were so red that they seemed to bleed, and the next moment the surface shattered into pieces.

Inside the blood-red rock shell, a hint of gold blooms.

It was a golden vertical pupil.

The moment it actually appeared, Qin Chuan's sundial's first talent effect gave a warning, and at the same time a line of text appeared in front of his eyes.

[【Gold】Tianlan Holy Formation Eye: The strongest of the Lan clan engraved the items left by the formation with their holy pupils. When activated by the combined efforts of nine Legendary-level people of similar strength, it can burst out with the strength of the first realm of the Mythical-level limit.]

The eye of the Tianlan Holy Formation?
There was a hint of surprise in Qin Chuan's eyes.

This thing is quite powerful, allowing the Legendary level to rival the peak of the first level of the Mythical level.
