Above the gray fog

Inside the Tiangong ruins, Lin Shan looked around and felt disappointed.

Unlike the first time he entered here, this time he appeared directly outside the palace full of lanterns. The corpses emitting golden light on both sides had disappeared, and only the huge machines of Yuanting were placed randomly.

The road leading to the gate was still intact, but the ground on both sides of the road had been dug hundreds of meters deep.

It was clear that Yuanting was mining Yin soil.

There were huge machines like drills rumbling underground a hundred meters deep.

These machines were all running automatically, and there were no employees inside.

Lin Shan looked up, but there were no flying machines. It should be the no-fly rule in the ruins that played a role.

The palace in front was still towering into the clouds, like a small mountain. There were corridors extending in all directions outside the palace. The railings on each floor were full of red and white lanterns, red and white contrasting, and the lights were transparent.

Seeing this, Lin Shan was a little confused. He had already reached the second floor last time, but all he had experienced were closed spaces. Why didn't he look at the road leading to the corridor outside?

Lin Shan looked at the corner of the upper floor of the Heavenly Palace again, where a pale ghostly face had stretched out before.

"What did I see before? Was it an illusion or a weirdness?"

Lin Shan walked into the hall with a bad premonition.

As before, after passing through the hall outside, the first floor of the Heavenly Palace was a dark space. If you keep walking forward, you will see a lock bridge leading to the Black Tower.

Lin Shan, who knew the rules, did not encounter any danger this time. He walked straight into the tower across the suspension bridge.

A gust of cold wind blew, carrying a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Lin Shan couldn't help but tighten his clothes. The air was filled with a faint stench mixed with mold.

Inside the Black Tower, pink jellyfish were nailed to the wall panels by silver arrows and could not move.

At first glance, the walls on both sides of the Black Tower were almost nailed with weird jellyfish.

The relics in the Dark Tower had also been looted, and even a few pieces of the floor in the corner were missing, and there were even traces of excavation.

Lin Shan was a little speechless. It must be Yuan Ting's doing.

He walked along the stairs to the second floor of the Heavenly Palace. It was no longer a dark space.

The whole hall was very bright. There was a staircase leading to the third floor about a few hundred meters in front of Lin Shan. Apart from this staircase, there was nothing in the hall.

"I don't know where the weirdo carrying the coffin went." Lin Shan muttered to himself and continued to the third floor.

When he followed the large group before, he only came to the second floor. The gods walked on the stairs leading to the third floor.

Based on the few words at that time, Lin Shan speculated that they were teleported to a higher floor, and Lin Shan entered another space, where he met his predecessor.

Thinking of this, Lin Shan felt a little unhappy. This relic was built by his predecessor, and his predecessor also specifically told him that everything he wanted to know was in this relic. Is there any part of this relic preserved now?

The light around him became dim. The third floor was also a closed room. There was a dim chandelier on the ceiling that creaked. There were broken hemp ropes scattered on the ground, which contained a strong weird smell.

The walls on both sides were bumpy, indicating that there had been fierce battles here.

Obviously, this place had also been visited by people from Yuanting.

Lin Shan continued to go up.

His footsteps echoed on the ancient stairs. Every step seemed to be stepping on the dust of history. As the number of floors increased, the air around him became more and more solemn. On the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and tenth floors, the fishy smell in the air became stronger.

When he stepped onto the tenth floor, a strong intuition emerged in his heart. He felt a solemn atmosphere, as if invisible eyes were peeping in the dark. An unspeakable sense of crisis made his scalp numb and every nerve was tense.

If it was a direct battle, Lin Shan would not be afraid, but the strange attack methods of the rule-based attack were bizarre and difficult to resist. Even if he had been promoted to Sequence 3, he could not guarantee that he could resist the rule of death.

The tenth floor was a long corridor that could not be seen at a glance. His sight could only pass through less than 20 meters in the dim light, and there was a fog behind it.

The empty corridor was unusually quiet. Only his footsteps and the sound of the wind from time to time constituted all the sounds here. The wall lamps on the wall flickered dimly, and the dust that had not been cleaned for a long time made every furnishing look particularly gloomy.

The sound of "bang!" was particularly harsh in the silent environment.

Lin Shan took a deep breath to calm his inner anxiety. He looked at his feet and saw a broken blade.

Under Lin Shan's control, the broken blade slowly floated up.

"It's a divine weapon... The level is not low, at least not lower than the Sky-cutting Spear, and there is still divine power left on it..." Lin Shan gently grasped the broken blade and put it into the Zhulong Ring.

Then he began to scan the surroundings. This divine weapon...may have just been broken.

This means that there may be people from the Yuanting in front...

Suddenly, his sight was attracted by a half-open door on the side of the corridor, and a faint light shone through the crack of the door.

"Go in or not?" After a brief thought, Lin Shan decided to go in and take a look. He entered the ruins to explore, and he couldn't stop because of fear of danger.

He took a step and calmly walked along the edge of the corridor towards the door. As he continued to move forward, the air around him seemed to become denser, and the dangerous atmosphere became stronger. Just when his hand was about to touch the cold door handle, an extraordinary force suddenly broke out, and the surrounding space became distorted.

A pair of withered eyes suddenly appeared in the dim light and shadow. It was a cold, deep, and deadly gaze, locked on Lin Shan. Lin Shan felt an invisible chill spreading from his shoulders, as if a pair of invisible hands fell silently on his shoulders in the empty corridor.

Without time to think about it, Lin Shan's body reacted almost unconsciously, and he jumped suddenly to avoid the dangerous touch.

The moment he landed, Lin Shan twisted his body, and the Sky-cutting Spear appeared in his hand. He was suppressed by the ruins and could not use too much strength, but his pure physical fitness was still strong.

Lin Shan looked at the position where he had stood before.

Nothing!

His shoulder felt cold again.

Puff, puff, a series of slender tentacles stretched out from his shoulders, trying to resist the coming attack.

However, at the moment when the tentacles confronted the palm, the tentacles melted directly into black water and dripped onto the ground, corroding the ground into black holes.

He did not dodge by instinct at the first time, and it was impossible to dodge at this time. The cold thing was already on his shoulder.

Lin Shan's body became stiff in an instant, as if a long time had passed, and corpse spots had already grown on his face.

Sizzle...

The place where the cold palm and shoulder touched made a sizzling sound.

Like pouring a basin of cold water into an exploding oil pan, Lin Shan, who was suppressed by the ruins, could not resist the strange power of rules after all.

Lin Shan abandoned his body at the moment when the fire of life was about to go out.

His soul escaped and resurrected in front of the door, and his devout faith turned into nutrients to replenish his soul and keep it in peak condition.

His original body turned into a pool of black water with a sizzling sound.

Lin Shan's eyes met those withered, dead eyes again.

Without time to think, Lin Shan threw the light ball containing the Ji Fazhe at the dead eyes, and then he dived into the half-open door.
