The Eternal World

Hidden State?

Hidden State!

Zhang Chao's pupils contracted violently, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably!

The names of the people inscribed on the stone tablet …

Was it a country hidden away?

According to his calculations, if he could obtain these legacies, then he should be able to take a big step forward in the field of forging. Perhaps refining a precious treasure wouldn't just be a dream!

Country Yin was the creator of the Forge Master, an ancient almighty being. When he was in the Mystical Heaven, he was of great help to himself, and later on, he received the other party's inheritance, and even obtained the [Myriad Treasures List] and so on …

One had to say, he'd always viewed the country as a secret master.

Furthermore, the nation was hidden within the Forge Master, and it was a well-deserved existence at the Grandmaster Realm. Even Hades had to request for the nation's shadow to refine the《 Divine Seal Decree》 to restrict Fu Yan and the other experts.

But... Isn't the country's shadow supposed to be in the Star Alliance?

Why did I see his name in such a place?

Or could it be... It just so happened to have the same name?

Otherwise, how could his name appear in this place that was at least a million years old?

Zhang Chao's mind was in a mess.

After all, no matter how hard he tried, he could not identify the words on the stone tablet.

What sort of connection did the country's Hidden Dragon Institute have with such a cruel place?

Could it be … Was this place left behind millions of years ago?

No, no, that's not right. Zhang Chao rubbed his glabella and tried to clear his mind.

This way, he wouldn't be able to assess the time in this place.

It was possible that this place was not a million years old, but rather, not very long ago!

But what kind of reason could it be for Guiyin to do such a heartless thing?

The number of massacred here was not limited to just tens of thousands of lives!

In his impression, the Hidden State should not be such a brutal person!

Calming himself down, Zhang Chao shook his head. Before this matter was resolved, it was best to not make any reckless decisions, lest he make a prejudiced judgement and make a wrong judgement.

However, since this place was related to the country, his interest in this place was immediately piqued.

As for the matters regarding Shadow, those experts, and Guan Sangyun's corpse, he didn't think that these people would find them easily either. After all, this Return to the Ruins Star Sea was far from as simple as they had imagined!

After walking around on the planet for a long time, other than the cruel slaughter, there was nothing else he had discovered.

Zhang Chao also chose to leave, and went into another place.

However, within the vortex, there were still the same stars, and the scene above them was completely identical!

"It can't be?" Zhang Chao sucked in a breath of cold air. After entering all nine rotations in a row, the things he saw, were exactly the same.

Although the species slaughtered on the surface may be different, the tragedy is exactly the same.

Furthermore, each of the planets had a similar stone stele, upon which was also the name of the country of concealment.

Nine stars!

The total number of creatures slaughtered on the map was over a hundred million!

Hundreds of millions of lives!

Zhang Chao could not help but shiver.

If it was really the doing of the government, then … Too terrifying!

That was until he entered the tenth vortex with great trepidation … He was finally relieved...

After all, this place was no longer a planet, nor was there the sight of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

However, it was all empty, with nothing left.

As a result, he continued to search for a few dozen whirlpools, but they were all empty.

From the very beginning, all he had ever seen were the nine planets filled with death!

Hold on …

He closed his eyes and the nine stars appeared in his mind.

and look for clues.

The layout of the corpses on it, the way they died, and any other details.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and understood.

It was a type of spell formation!

Even though he had never seen this formation before, those dead creatures, their corpses and their fresh blood made it an essential part of the formation … Dots and lines!

That's right, all formations in this world were all based on points of light. These points were called formation points, and all of the points were connected by a line, forming the shape of a formation.

Within this formation, the center point would be chosen according to the location of the eight elements. This was known as the core of the formation!

Although Zhang Chao didn't know much about formation arrays, he was extremely clear about the basic principles behind them.

However, what kind of array was this?

Why was it so cruel, and why did it need to kill billions of lives?

He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. It seemed like he had to find more clues in order to gradually understand the truth.

Just as Zhang Chao was walking back and forth, he was not the only person who was in the Star Sea of Return to the Ruins or Shadow's group.

When the formation inside the Unparalleled Sect was activated, and everyone inside was thrown into the ocean of stars, many people chose to go directly to the Return to the Ruins Star Sea, and before Zhang Chao and the rest came, they had already arrived.

However, they had no idea how long they had been in the primordial chaos for ….

These people, had all come to the Return to the Ruins to search for gold.

It was said long ago that since ancient times, countless experts had chosen to die here, while those experts were like treasures!

Although it was possible that before they decided to come here, they would leave the majority of their things to their disciples and descendants, they would still bring some things here, and use them as an object to accompany their funeral!

Obtaining any of those things was a huge fortune!

Normally, ordinary people would not be able to pass through the chaotic space to reach this place, but right now, the time was just right!

At this time when the flow of space was at its weakest, a lot of people had flocked over. First, they wanted to plunder the Unparalleled Sect at the edge of the sea of stars, but they did not expect that the great array inside the sea of stars would be activated, and they were all thrown into the depths of the sea of stars.

But this didn't matter to them at all.

Originally, their goal was within the Return to the Ruins. Unparalleled Sect was just an appetizer before entering the Return to the Ruins, whether there was it or not was basically meaningless.

Next, Zhang Chao saw other experts within a few rotations.

There were quite a few rotations, and there were still some things there.

Many experts, after choosing their own Return to the Ruins, at least wouldn't die like this, even a coffin would look too miserable.

Therefore, they would basically use their last bit of strength to build themselves a final resting place.

It was just that the soul and body had long become one. With the body having died, the soul would not leave the body and enter the reincarnation cycle again. The death of the body and the destruction of the soul would not cause the soul to leave the body.

At least, Zhang Chao had already seen all sorts of sleeping places.

Some looked like houses, some looked like palaces, some looked like castles, and some even looked like they had opened up a world. There were mountains, rivers, flowers, plants, trees, everything.

However, there were experts who got to these places first. The moment Zhang Chao entered those rotations, he felt a sharp aura coming from those experts.

This aura was also a warning. It told the newcomers that there was already an owner here and that no one was allowed to come to the tiger's mouth to steal food.

Of course, no one would be stupid enough to fight and rob in a place like this.

After all, the Return to the Ruins was extremely big and there were countless of them. This also proved that there were countless treasures inside, so these people wouldn't fight with others for a single place.

There were treasures, and there were so many of them that no one could count them clearly. However, it was unknown whether the people who entered could take them away.

After all, those treasures were at least treasures of the An expert in the field of kingly dao, objects that the ancient powers would accompany their dead comrades. Before they died, these people would spend their entire lives learning and lay many traps to prevent others from spying on them.

Zhang Chao didn't know how many times he had turned, but the things that were useful to him were all gone.

It was not until he entered another spiral space that he suddenly became stunned.

Within this whirlpool, a continent was hovering.

The continent was not big, but it was littered with withered and rotten plants. It was a desolate scene.

"Strange, this place is filled with chaos energy and time is still. Could it be that some expert, before dying, deliberately made this scene into their final resting place?" Zhang Chao scratched his head and landed on the continent.

Just as he steadied his feet, he suddenly felt a strange elemental energy fluctuation come from a very far distance, faintly discernible.

"Oh? "These ripples …" Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows.

Had he come to the right place?

This wave of elemental energy was something he was very familiar with. It belonged to the country of Concealment!

Could it be that the country's shadow was really here?

With a head full of questions, Zhang Chao hurried towards the direction where the undulations came from.

After running for a while, he arrived in front of a strange building.

The building was square, with a width above the ground and a few steps leading up. It looked like … It looked like an altar.

Four braziers were placed at four corners of the altar, and a purple human skull was placed within each of them. The skull was burning with white flames.

Upon closer inspection, these skulls all had a hole in them.

These holes were different from the wounds left by the people who were implanted with the Holy Spirit Stones. They seemed to be naturally formed, and it was more like … Eye socket!

"Three eyes... The Three-eyed Race? " Zhang Chao's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly thought of the strongest cultivator in the 86th Heavenly Realm, the one known as the Black Tortoise, Yang Jian!

Yang Jian had a vertical eye between his brows, and from what he heard, this person had owned this eye since birth.

At first, Zhang Chao thought it was strange, but later on he heard from Ao Shi that Yang Jian was a descendant of the Three-eyed Race.

The Three-Eyed Race were extremely mysterious and rare. It was said that they had been on the verge of extinction during ancient wars.

But here, were there four skulls belonging to the Three-Eyed Race?

In the middle of the altar was a skeleton that was completely black.

The skeleton was the shape of a human. However, it was not made of ordinary bone. It was made of some other material.

It lowered its head and raised both its hands into the air, a seemingly ordinary brush appearing in its hands …
