In the ancient Eastern world, what was more supreme than the two royal families of the Ji Clan and the Jiang Clan?
There was only one, and that was the highest totem of the ancient civilization, which was the male with a human face and a snake body.
To be honest, Shen Lang did not even know what species he was. Medusa was a female with a human face and a snake body, but the Lost Empire led by Medusa was the enemy of the human countries.
However, the entire ancient ruins of King Kong Peak was a city of faith and a city of sacrifice. The entire huge city of the mountain was dedicated to a totem.
If Shen Lang did not guess wrong, the human face and snake body totem was not only the belief of the ancient Jiang Clan, but also the totem of the ancient Ji Clan. In that case, he would have the highest authority, directly surpassing the Jiang Clan and the Ji Clan.
Yes, this was the principle.
… …
Shen Lang left the ancient prison and returned to the Fury Tide City.
"Your Majesty, most of these ultrasonic flying beasts can be saved because their vitality is too strong." Grand Scholar Twain said, "They can even wake up on their own without any treatment."
Shen Lang had previously ordered not to kill these ultrasonic flying beasts. Once they were captured, they would become the main air force of the Da Qian Empire.
Most of them were paralyzed by the neurotoxin of the super jellyfish, and some were struck down by the flying snake's lightning.
Unexpectedly, after only 48 hours, without any treatment, they woke up on their own.
But after waking up, they immediately fell into a very brutal state, desperately struggling and attacking.
"Bang bang bang …" The ultrasonic waves in their mouths spat out wildly, and they frantically pulled at the iron cage with their claws.
"Creak …" The sturdy iron cage was bent and twisted, and it actually wanted to rush out.
And it immediately attacked anyone it saw, completely unable to be tamed. As a last resort, Grand Scholar Twain could only shoot the neurotoxin again to put it down. Of course, it did not completely faint. It could see, but its whole body was powerless, and it lay there.
"Your Majesty, be careful." Grand Scholar Twain said.
Outside, Qiu Yao'er and Princess Dola were ready at any time. Once this ultrasonic giant beast attacked Shen Lang, they would instantly kill it.
Each Ultrasonic Behemoth had a horn on its head, and inside it was a Nightmare Stone device. It was specially used to control the Ultrasonic Behemoths, and it could also command them to cooperate in battle. It was very advanced.
When Shen Lang first encountered Big Chao, it was also very fierce and directly attacked Shen Lang. However, as soon as Shen Lang's Ancient King Ring touched the horn on its head, everything changed. Big Chao was immediately tamed. This feeling was like a Bluetooth connection, and he directly obtained control.
Therefore, Shen Lang wanted to recreate that feeling again.
The ultrasonic beast in front of him was too big. Even if it was lying on the ground, its head was more than three meters high. Shen Lang carefully climbed up.
It immediately revealed a ferocious gaze and once again launched an attack on Shen Lang. However, its entire body was paralyzed by the neurotoxin, and it could not move at all.
After climbing to the top of its head, Shen Lang's hand, which was wearing the Ancient King Ring, gently touched the sharp horn of the Ultrasonic Behemoth.
In an instant …
"Pa …"
A burst of light flashed, as if an electric current had suddenly struck out.
"Roar …" The Ultrasonic Flying Beast let out a roar. Even if it was knocked down by the neurotoxin, it still wanted to get up and attack.
It failed!
Shen Lang could not obtain control of the Ancient King Ring, nor could he connect with the Nightmare Stone device in the brain of this Ultrasonic Flying Beast.
Shen Lang said, "The Nightmare Stone device of these Ultrasonic Flying Beasts has been modified. It was modified by the Ji Clan, so we can't obtain the authority for the time being."
Suddenly, many people present revealed a disappointed look. How powerful were these Ultrasonic Flying Beasts?
There were more than nine hundred of them. Once they could control them, they would directly have a top-notch air force. They would not be so passive when facing the air force of the Great Yan Empire.
One Big Chao was loved by everyone, and now there were more than nine hundred Big Chao at once.
Now, they could not control them. It was really heartbreaking.
However, Big Chao was a little depressed recently. It originally thought that it was the most awesome, that there was nothing it couldn't do. Therefore, it could be said to be evil, crazy, cool, and awesome. Every day, it would either fly to an altitude of more than ten thousand meters, trying to compete with the sky, or go deep into the ocean to catch turtles, or show off in front of a group of snow eagles.
As a result, this time, it suddenly saw a thousand Ultrasonic Flying Beasts, and every one of them was exactly the same as it.
No, it was not just the same. Every Ultrasonic Flying Beast in the Great Yan Empire was fiercer, stronger, and larger than it.
Especially the forty-eight mutated giant beasts responsible for transporting the Super Dragon Power. They were several times bigger than it.
Feeling that it was no longer unique, Big Chao was depressed for two days.
Next, it began to work hard. Every day, it desperately ate and trained with all its might.
It practiced rapid ascent, rapid dive, and rapid ejection of ultrasonic waves.
Not only that, it also had to constantly embed scale armor on its body. It also wanted to be invulnerable.
Of course, Shen Lang also tried to let Big Chao and the captured Ultrasonic Flying Beasts come into contact and surrender. The result was a complete failure. The two were completely in a mess, wishing to immediately kill each other.
Big Chao was very loyal. The captured Great Yan Empire's Ultrasonic Flying Beasts were also very loyal. They had no intention of surrendering.
Shen Lang understood that this was a system.
The Jiang Clan's system and the Ji Clan's system were completely different.
But there was no doubt that the Abyss Air Force Base in the ancient square belonged to the ancient Jiang Clan. Those Ultrasonic Flying Beasts also belonged to the Jiang Clan. It was just that they were stolen by Ji Shi. Moreover, the Nightmare Stone device in their brains was modified and control was taken away.
Shen Lang said to Twain and Da Xue's, "Get ready for surgery. Open the captive ultrasonic flying beasts' skulls and take out the Nightmare Stone device inside. See what modifications Ji Shi has made. If necessary, transform all the Nightmare Stone devices in their heads back."
Grand Secretary Twain and the others said: "Yes!"
… …..
Shen Lang and Chou Yao'er rode Big Chao and left Raging Tide City, flying towards the ancient ruins of Vajra Peak.
Not only was Big Chao silent, Chou Yao'er also fell into silence.
"Shen Lang, I'm very unhappy." Chou Yao'er said.
Shen Lang could understand Chou Yao'er's displeasure. She was originally like a female overlord, almost invincible. But now, a group of people stronger than her appeared.
Ying Wuming, Ning Han, Ji Xuan and so on.
Of course, there might be various reasons, but Chou Yao'er was still unhappy. If she didn't become stronger, she would rather die.
Chou Yao'er didn't say anything. She had already made up her mind. No matter what price she had to pay, as long as there was a chance, she must become stronger and once again return to the top of the pyramid of the world.
Big Chao's flying speed was very fast. In less than a day and a night, it had already flown above the ancient ruins of Vajra Peak.
After Stupa Mountain was destroyed, the southern Dark Castle was also razed to the ground. Half of the people were killed, and the other half surrendered to the Great Yan Empire.
As a result, the ancient ruins of the southern sea region were basically destroyed.
The ancient ruins were first violently exploited by Stupa Mountain, then ravaged by Shen Lang. It was already on the verge of collapse. Now that the Great Yan Empire had used Repentance of the Dragon to cleanse it, it was basically done for.
The entire ancient ruins had collapsed, and all the secret laboratories and libraries inside were violently exploited.
After the Repentance of the Dragon was blown up, the ancient energy core was used to blow up the interior.
This kind of violent exploitation was a terrible waste. Eighty percent of the precious materials and resources would be destroyed, and no more than twenty percent could be taken away.
However, the Great Yan Empire would rather blow it up and destroy it than leave it to Shen Lang.
As a result, the entire ancient ruins of the southern sea region were deathly silent.
How prosperous was this place in the past? It was even more important than the headquarters of Stupa Mountain. At its peak, there used to be three hundred and fifty thousand people stationed here.
Now, tens of thousands of scholars, countless resources, and countless strategic resources had all gone to the Great Yan Empire.
The remaining eighty percent had sunk to the bottom of the sea within a few thousand li.
Of course, strictly speaking, one of the main culprits of the destruction of the ancient ruins was Shen Lang.
This was the empire of the Jiang Clan. That wastrel.
That was why the saying was true. As long as it was a war, there was no justice.
War meant destruction.
Chou Yao'er suddenly said, "Stupa Mountain is too frivolous, and Ying Guang is too frivolous."
Shen Lang understood what Chou Yao'er meant. You had painstakingly excavated a huge ancient ruins, so of course you had to make a fortune in silence and develop it behind closed doors for twenty to thirty years.
However, in just four years, you could not wait to come out and show off, eager to dominate the world.
This was probably a misconception. After excavating the ancient ruins, the four years of development surpassed the previous hundred years. This made Sect Leader Ren and Ying Guang feel that they were already very powerful, strong enough to challenge the order of the Eastern world.
Little did they know that the truly powerful White Jade Capital had been silently developing for many years.
Why would the White Jade Capital declare that as long as there was snow, it would be within its sphere of influence? Because places with snow would be completely frozen, and there would not be as many geological disasters, so these ancient ruins could be more completely protected.
And in the Great Yan Empire, who knew how many ancient ruins he had excavated? Who knew that he had a trump card?
Ying Guang and Sect Leader Ren were indeed like nouveau riche.
… …
The ancient ruins of Vajra Peak were currently desolate. There was not even half an army left.
The ancient ruins' energy had been completely exhausted, and it had become a dead zone. Even the door could not be opened.
Shen Lang used the Ancient King Ring to open the door, but there was no response. It was probably completely exhausted, and there was no way to enter.
"Let's enter from the bottom of the sea," Chou Yao'er said.
The ancient ruins of Vajra Peak were connected to the ancient ruins of the Southern Sea. Moreover, the ancient ruins of the Southern Sea had already been destroyed and were riddled with holes.
Shen Lang and Chou Yao'er dove into the sea and found a crack. They swam in and entered the ancient ruins of the Southern Sea.
As expected, they had all been destroyed and reduced to rubble.
Countless beautiful libraries, secret warehouses, and secret laboratories had all been destroyed.
Because the people of the Ji Clan knew that the ancient ruins belonged to the Jiang Clan, Shen Lang could easily open every secret library and secret laboratory. However, the people of the Ji Clan had to use all their strength to crack them.
Therefore, those that could be exploited violently would be exploited violently, and those that could not be exploited violently would all be destroyed. They did not want Shen Lang to obtain them.
The special passage leading to Vajra Peak from the ancient ruins of the Southern Sea had also been completely destroyed and collapsed.
At this time, it was almost impossible to use force to clear a passage, as it was dozens of kilometers long. Moreover, the special passage was made of very special materials that were harder than any rock.
But to Shen Lang, this was not a problem at all. He could directly use his spiritual power to form an energy vortex to attack.
"Energy vortex!"
It suddenly swept out, and everything within dozens of meters was reduced to ashes.
Shen Lang released the energy vortex ten times to clear a path through the special passageway that spanned dozens of miles. He successfully entered the Vajra Peak's ancient ruins.
The ancient ruins were still in good condition, as it was above sea level, and the explosion of the Great Yan Empire did not spread here.
However, because all the energy had been exhausted, there was no light here, and one could not see their fingers in front of them. There was also no oxygen, so it was not suitable for survival.
But to Shen Lang and Chou Yao'er, it was not a problem. Shen Lang had the Ancient King's Ring, and Chou Yao'er had the Nightmare Stone and the oxygen device.
They walked up the ancient ruins of Vajra Peak.
The mountain was about 5,000 meters above sea level, and the Divine Temple was at the top.
The interior of the mountain was a city, and the densely packed houses were all fake. They were all empty houses used for sacrificial ceremonies.
Strictly speaking, the entire city was dedicated to this human-faced snake totem.
… …
Finally, they reached the top of the mountain and arrived in front of the Divine Temple.
The door of the Divine Temple was tightly shut, and the energy vortex above it had disappeared, because the energy of the entire ancient ruins had been exhausted.
Moreover, the door of the Divine Temple was made of ancient materials, and it was extremely sturdy. There was no way to force it open. Even the Nightmare Stone War Saber could not leave a mark on it.
But Shen Lang could open it, and only Shen Lang could.
He gathered his spiritual power and released an energy vortex. He did not immediately shoot it out, but instead carved it on the door of the Divine Temple.
Then, he passed through the energy vortex and entered the Divine Temple. Chou Yao'er was waiting outside.
Shen Lang once again saw this gigantic totem, as well as the last king of the ancient Jiang Clan who was kneeling before it. He should be Jiang Xie's grandson or great-grandson. He was the one who witnessed the great destruction of the ancient world. Hence, at the last moment, he chose to come before the totem statue and watch the destruction of the entire ancient world.
At this moment, it was still a complete fossil, and Shen Lang's Ancient King's Ring was taken from its hand.
Of course, the only main body in the Divine Temple was this huge statue with a human face and a snake body. It was dozens of meters tall.
Wild, mysterious, powerful, and brutal, these were the characteristics of this human-faced snake statue.
Shen Lang had tried to get something from it before, even if it was just a fingernail.
At that time, Shen Lang had been immersed in the power of the ancient human's blood fossil. When he had obtained the first Jiang's Regret of the Dragon, he had mixed his own blood with the ancient human's blood fossil, and mixed it into the color of the sun. Only then did he succeed in activating the Regret of the Dragon.
Of course, he did not need it anymore, because he had obtained the Ancient King's Ring. So when Shen Lang first saw this human-faced snake statue, it was like he had found a treasure, and he immediately wanted its blood fossil.
Now that so much time had passed, Shen Lang had become more knowledgeable. His vision had greatly changed and improved, and he had even begun to comprehend the Dragon Dao.
So this time, he had come … with only one goal.
He wanted to open a hole in the human-faced snake totem and chisel out a bag of blood fossil.
Huh?! Even after so many years have passed, you, Shen Lang, are still as promising as ever?
Shen Lang sat down in front of the human-faced snake totem statue, closed his eyes, and pondered.
Was it a pure statue? The kind that could be replicated? Carved out of stone?
No, because Shen Lang had already felt a powerful energy aura.
Then was it a fossil? It should be!
But that was not right. If it was a fossil, it meant that it had lived before, and it was in a human-faced snake state. That meant that it was very ancient, even more ancient than the ancient times. It was completely the ancestor of the ancient human empire?
If that was the case, then why was it in the Jiang Clan's Divine Temple?
This was not the capital of the ancient Eastern Empire. This was only a frontline city against the Lost Empire.
The ancient Ji Clan had already taken the throne, so why did the right to worship belong to the Jiang Clan? This was the fossil of the ancient human ancestor.
Then there was another explanation.
This was indeed the totem of the ancient humans, and it was indeed the fossil of the human ancestor. When it was alive, it was in a human-faced snake state.
But it was only one of the ancient human totems. Shen Lang found it strange from the start, because it seemed very fierce, domineering, and terrifying.
Eastern humans were peaceful and introverted to a certain extent, so the ancestral totem that they believed in should also be peaceful and noble.
Then this human-faced snake totem before him should be the God of War!
The ancient humans believed in several totems, perhaps the God of Wisdom, the God of War, and so on.
And this area was the frontline city of the ancient empire against the Lost Empire of the West, so it was very normal to worship the God of War here.
Yes, this explanation was very reasonable.
But no matter what, it was still one of the ancient human totems, and its authority was definitely above that of the Jiang Clan and the Ji Clan.
So to break the Ji Clan's Dragon's Regret, he only needed its blood fossil.
Next, Shen Lang needed to think of a way to open a hole in its body. This was the most difficult part.
He pulled out the Ancient Nightmare Stone war knife and slashed down.
Failure!
The indestructible Ancient Nightmare Stone war knife was directly smashed into pieces.
He took out the Nightmare Stone device, shot out plasma flames, and burned this God of War totem.
Still failure!
Not to mention the fact that it did not burn any wounds, even the burnt areas were cold. The temperature of the plasma flames was extremely shocking.
Next, Shen Lang was going to use his trump card.
Release the energy vortex!
He gathered his Spiritual Energy, organized the energy vortex equation, raised the Dragon Sword, and shot it out.
The powerful energy whirlpool fiercely struck the body of the human-faced snake totem.
It still failed, and it was completely unharmed. What the hell was this?
How strong was Shen Lang's energy vortex? Any material would be turned into ashes.
But when it hit the God of War totem, it actually did not react? This human-faced, snake-bodied totem fossil was too strong.
Next, Shen Lang kept trying.
Your head is so hard, but your chest might not be as hard.
The second energy vortex directly struck the snake-bodied man's chest.
Bang!
Still unharmed.
The third energy vortex hit the stomach, but it still failed.
The fourth energy vortex attack … still failed.
The fifth, sixth, seventh …
In the end, Shen Lang released ten energy vortexes, but they all failed. They could not hurt the human-faced snake man at all, not even a strand of his hair.
The energy whirlpool was already the strongest energy that Shen Lang could control.
What to do?
I only want a little of your blood fossil, even if it's only ten milliliters.
Next, Shen Lang carefully scanned the human-faced snake totem's body.
He found a very strange place!
He did not wear a ring, and there were no signs of rings on his fingers. Of course, he was the God of War, an ancient totem. He did not need to wear a ring at all.
But after Shen Lang's careful analysis, he was surprised to find that the ring finger on his left hand was a little strange, as if it was different from the rest of his body.
Although it was a fossil, the rest of his body seemed to have turned into stone, and the ring finger seemed to be carved out of stone, like a statue!
"Energy vortex!"
Shen Lang aimed at his left hand and unleashed an energy vortex attack.
Bang!
The ring finger on the God of War's left hand fell to the ground and disintegrated before Shen Lang's eyes. However, the rest of his fingers were unharmed.
This … this … this was too terrifying.
What did this mean?
This God of War wore a ring, and even after becoming a fossil, he still wore a ring?
But someone had cut off his ring finger and taken it away with the Divine Ring of War? Moreover, the God of War had carved a fake ring finger out of stone. If not for Shen Lang's ability to unleash energy vortexes, he would never have discovered this.
This was definitely a crucial matter, and it might even be related to some great conspiracy or secret.
Who was it? Who cut off the God of War's ring finger, and who stole his ring?
Was it something that happened in the ancient times? Or was it something that happened after this world?
Shen Lang could not imagine what kind of authority this person would wield if they obtained the ancient God of War's finger and divine ring. What kind of power would they wield? Unimaginable?
Could it be the emperor of Great Yan?
No, it wasn't him. If it was him, there wouldn't have been a situation where he couldn't launch the Jiang's Regret of the Dragon. Then, there wouldn't have been a situation where Zhu Shi couldn't launch the Jiang's Regret of the Dragon even after researching in a secret base overseas for more than ten years.
Shen Lang only wanted to obtain some of his blood fossils to decipher the Ji's Regret of the Dragon. He did not expect to stumble upon such a huge conspiracy.
What kind of person was this? Who dared to break the finger of an ancient human totem? This was your belief, your ancestor.
Moreover, this person was very powerful. Even Shen Lang's energy vortex could not cut a hole in this God of War. Yet, this person could directly cut off his finger.
However, he had to put this conspiracy aside for now. Right now, the most important thing for Shen Lang was to dig out some of the God of War's blood fossils. That was the most important thing.
His ring finger was cut off, which meant that there was a wound. That was a good thing.
Shen Lang took out the Dragon Sword and dug at the spot where the God of War's finger had been cut off.
In the end … he still failed.
I … I … F * ck!
Is your body really that strong? Even the inside of the wound is indestructible. Even my Dragon Sword can't do anything to you?
Following which, Shen Lang tried everything he could. He burned the wound with plasma flames and used the energy vortex, but all of them failed.
He could not cut open the wound just now.
Now that there was a wound, he could not even scrape off a single bit of the blood fossil.
At this moment, Shen Lang was even more impressed by the great conspirator. You're the best. You can even cut off a god's finger.
However, what should Shen Lang do now?
He did not have much time left. The Great Yan Empire's army was almost done gathering and was about to invade China.
This time, the Flame Capital would no longer be gentle and refined. He would not pretend to be benevolent and righteous. He would go on a killing spree and kill hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps even more. This was all to protect his position as the overlord, to redeem his reputation and to break Shen Lang's waist.
God of War, my ancestor, the ancient totem, I only need a bit of your blood fossil to decipher the Ji's Regret of the Dragon. I want to save hundreds of thousands, millions of people.
At this moment …
Swoosh …
A figure suddenly darted in.
Shen Lang was shocked. This was the ancient ruins of Mount Jingang, an environment completely unsuitable for human survival.
This was an ancient temple, and the entrance was embedded with Shen Lang's energy vortex. Anyone who touched it would immediately be smashed into pieces. Even Chou Yao'er could not pass through.
Until now, apart from Shen Lang, no one else could pass through the energy vortex.
Who was it? Passing through the energy vortex as if it was nothing? Was it that amazing?
He took a closer look and realized that it was … someone familiar.
Princess Ren Yingying.
No, after the Nirvana transformation, Shen Lang did not know who she was, nor did he know what race he was.
Before the Great Yan Empire used the Regret of the Dragon to cleanse the land, Ren Yingying disappeared without a trace. Her martial arts skills were beyond Shen Lang's understanding. A Grandmaster was directly smashed into dust by her.
At this moment, she had changed even more. Even her face could not help but change. Also, the bone spurs on her back were almost a foot long.
Her eyes were even more inhuman.
"Yingying, it's me, Shen Lang, your fiancé." Shen Lang said carefully, "What are you doing here?"
Ren Yingying looked at him with her inhuman eyes. Instantly, Shen Lang felt as if he had been cut by a knife, and his face was stinging.
Shen Lang said again, "Yingying, we are engaged, so can I ask you for a favor? Do you see the broken finger on this statue? Can you help me scrape off a layer of powder and a layer of blood petrification? Okay? "
Huh?!
Shen Lang, you are really shameless. Wherever you go, you will be able to live off a woman.
Ren Yingying walked over and took away Shen Lang's Dragon Sword. She easily scraped off a layer of powder from the God of War's broken finger.
Damn, you are the best.
Even Shen Lang could not scrape it off with his energy vortex. Ren Yingying, it was as easy as scraping dust off a wall.
This power was boundlessly strong.
Then, Ren Yingying placed the Dragon Sword and the God of War's blood petrification in Shen Lang's hands.
Just like that, it succeeded?
"Let's go!" Ren Yingying spat out.
She pushed at Shen Lang, and Shen Lang floated out of the temple and appeared outside the door.
Also, the energy vortex embedded in the door of the temple had disappeared without a trace.
