At this moment, Duan Lingtian had already entered the ruin left behind by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master.
After him, Huang Wen Jing, the most talented young genius in the Wandering Saint Palace and the most beautiful woman in the Human-Devil clan, entered the ruin as well.
When Duan Ling Tian saw Huang Wen Jing had followed him, he remained silent as he walked in the underground tunnel.
The ruin left behind by the Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master was located underground. One had to pass through a long passage to get to the ruin.
Dangers lurked everywhere in the underground passageway. Wanting to smoothly pass through was also fraught with difficulties.
Along the way, Duan Lingtian saw many corpses. Based on the bloodstains on the corpses, it was obvious they had been killed not long ago.
"There are quite a number of people exploring the path … previously, it is likely that there were quite a number of one-time attacking formations similar to 'mechanisms' in this tunnel."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself as he looked at the corpses on the ground.
Duan Lingtian walked in front while Huang Wen Jing followed behind him.
Initially, Huang Wen Jing's eyes were cold as she looked at Duan Lingtian's back. It was as though she hated Duan Lingtian to the core.
However, after a while, the way she looked at Duan Lingtian had changed.
Her eyes were still cold, but there was a hint of curiosity in them.
She was curious.
How could this young man, who didn't seem to be older than her, possess such powerful strength?
Moreover, his observation skills were shocking as well. He was able to discover her weak point in such a short time.
There was a saying that went like this:
When a woman became curious about a man, it was also the beginning of a 'fall'.
He wondered if Huang Wen Jing, the most beautiful woman in the Human-Devil clan, would feel the same way.
"So many?"
When they reached the end of the passage, Duan Lingtian thought the passage was over. However, it turned out that he was too naive.
When Duan Lingtian arrived at the end of the passage, he saw 81 passages ahead of him.
The openings of the eighty-one passageways were arranged neatly together, so it was possible to quickly calculate the number of passageways.
"How am I supposed to choose?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled.
In the end, Duan Lingtian could only close his eyes and extend his Divine Consciousness in an attempt to find something.
Huang Wen Jing stood nearby and looked at Duan Lingtian quietly as though she was waiting for Duan Lingtian to make his choice.
Due to the commotion between the two of them, the people outside did not enter the ruin.
Duan Lingtian and Huang Wen Jing were the only two in the ruin.
Duan Lingtian did not think he would be able to find anything when he extended his Divine Consciousness.
If it was easy to find something, he would have taken all the treasures already. by now.
Up until now, many people had entered the ruins left behind by the Celestial Grade Saint Inscription Master.
"Hmm?"
However, right when Duan Ling Tian's heart was as calm as water, and he was mentally prepared to gain nothing.
However, something unexpected happened again.
Duan Lingtian discovered one of the passages in the ruin.
Out of the eighty-one passageways, one actually gave off a very familiar aura that seemed to be deja vu.
Duan Ling Tian did not have time to react at first.
However, when he regained his senses, he was certain.
The aura was very similar to the aura on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. It was a unique aura in a place where time flowed slowly.
If one did not experience it personally, one would not be able to detect the aura.
'Time flow … Could it be that the end of this passage is a place where time flows slowly like the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?'
Duan Lingtian's breathing quickened when he thought of this.
All this while, although he seemed to accept it on the surface, he still found it hard to accept the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda's' departure '.
Not only was there Huo Lao in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, but there was also a place where time flowed slowly to assist him in his cultivation.
Without the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, his cultivation speed had plummeted.
Now …
Duan Ling Tian became excited when he sensed the unique aura in this space that seemed to have slowed down. Without any hesitation, he flew into the passageway where the aura was coming from.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian's figure disappeared before Huang Wen Jing's eyes as the wind blew gently.
Huang Wen Jing's eyes flickered a few times. In the end, she did not choose any other passage. Instead, she followed Duan Lingtian into the same passage as Duan Lingtian. It was as though she was following his lead.
Every time Huang Wen Jing thought about this' decision 'for a very long time, she would rejoice endlessly.
This was because it was the best decision she had made in her life!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
…
After choosing the passage, Duan Lingtian was attacked by a one-time Killing Formation.
Rays of light that looked like javelins soared through the air as though they could pierce through anything.
When Duan Lingtian activated the Killing Formation, the rays of light locked onto him.
'It's comparable to the full-force attack of an ordinary powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!'
Duan Lingtian could tell the force of the rays of light was comparable to the full-force attack of an ordinary powerhouse at the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Such an attack was not a threat to Duan Lingtian at all.
All he had to do was cast his defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle's Barrier. A huge Black Turtle's silhouette appeared and blocked the attacks from the Killing Formation.
However, as Duan Lingtian ventured deeper into the passage, he discovered the Killing Formation was getting stronger and stronger.
In the beginning, he could deal with it easily.
However, in the end, Duan Lingtian had no choice but to use his full strength.
When Duan Ling Tian saw the light in front of him, he had no choice but to stop when he was close to the final checkpoint.
'I've already used all my strength in the previous passage, and I barely passed it …'
'This passage must be even more difficult!'
Duan Lingtian's expression turned solemn when he thought about this.
After all, since the beginning until now, all the barriers he faced were 'killing formations'. Once he triggered them and failed to pass through them, then he would most likely end up dead!
For this reason, he had to be cautious.
He did not dare to activate the last passage unless he was completely confident.
However, he was not confident he would be able to pass the Killing Formation even after he had fully recovered, let alone the fact that he had exhausted a lot of his strength.
Unless his cultivation base had broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
Just when Duan Ling Tian was in a dilemma, a melodious yet cold voice that sounded like an oriole's entered his ears in a timely manner.
"Let's work together."
The voice came from behind him. It was none other than Huang Wen Jing, the most beautiful woman in the Human-Devil clan, who had followed Duan Lingtian into the passage.
In fact, Duan Lingtian had noticed Huang Wen Jing not long after she had followed him into the passage. However, he had ignored her.
Duan Lingtian was surprised that Huang Wen Jing had taken the initiative to join forces with him.
He had just injured Huang Wen Jing earlier, right?
Was Huang Wen Jing so magnanimous that she was willing to let bygones be bygones?
"Although you're stronger than me, I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to pass the last passage."
When Huang Wen Jing saw Duan Lingtian did not respond, she said, "If we work together, it won't be difficult for us to pass the last passage!"
"Yes, it won't be difficult."
Duan Lingtian nodded when he regained his senses. Then, he turned to look at Huang Wen Jing and asked indifferently, "However, if we work together, how should we split the treasures at the end of the passage?"
"We'll each take what we need."
Huang Wen Jing seemed to have expected Duan Lingtian would ask such a question. As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, she replied in a timely manner.
"What if both of us need something?"
Duan Lingtian asked with narrowed eyes.
"If both of us need something, you have the right to choose," Huang Wen Jing replied immediately.
Duan Lingtian nodded his head.
Huang Wen Jing's words were more than enough to prove her sincerity.
Moreover, Duan Lingtian was indeed unable to pass the last passage unless he could break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in a short period of time. However, that was not realistic.
Put aside the fact that he could not break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in a short period of time, even if he spent some time to break through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, there was no guarantee the treasures at the end of the passage would still be there.
"Alright!"
Duan Lingtian agreed immediately. He decided to join forces with Huang Wen Jing to pass the last passage.
'I wonder what kind of treasures lie at the end of such a difficult passage … The aura is very similar to the aura in the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. It's the aura of a space where the flow of time is slow.'
For a moment, Duan Ling Tian's heart was filled with anticipation.
"Let's begin!"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Huang Wen Jing and called out to her.
Huang Wen Jing nodded.
Both of them made their moves in unison. It was as though they had transformed into two bolts of lightning as they charged toward the last passage.
Immediately, the Killing Formation on the final checkpoint was activated.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
…
A series of explosions reverberated in the air as waves of energy surged out from the passage where Duan Lingtian and Huang Wen Jing were standing.
These forces were extremely powerful and terrifying. As soon as they appeared and came into contact with the tunnel, they caused the entire tunnel to tremble as if a world-shaking earthquake had occurred!
In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing seemed to have transformed into a lone boat in the middle of a vast ocean. They looked extremely tiny and vulnerable.
All of a sudden …
"Let's attack together!"
