"Congratulations, you've completed eight cross-ranking kills. You've obtained 50 card draws!"
As he pierced through the immortal-level rank-5 monster's heart, Lin Huang finally obtained the cross-ranking reward for the tenth time.
Killing an immortal-level rank-5 monster with his crimson flame-level combat strength meant that Lin Huang could now cross eight ranks to kill an enemy. However, he was still not satisfied with his abilities.
"When I level up to immortal-level rank-1, I should be able to kill an immortal-level rank-9. However, on imperial-level, the elevation of each rank is equivalent to the elevation of two ranks. Even with my current cross-ranking standard, I'll only be able to cross four ranks to kill a purple gold-rank when I reach imperial-level black gold-rank. I won't be able to fight a demigod. " From the Eclipse Boa's memory, Lin Huang found out that there was a huge difference in abilities between each rank on imperial-level. If he wanted to have the ability to kill a demigod, it was far from enough to reach the first rank of imperial-level, black gold-rank.
After all, the Transformation Card and Provisional Combat Strength Upgrade Card were external powers. It depended on luck whether he could obtain them or not. It was not a long-term solution to rely on the effects of the cards to elevate his abilities. The cards could only be used as a trump card to protect his life.
On the first day after the blood sacrifice, before the sun set, Lin Huang spent an hour drawing cards alone. With the help of the Double Reward Card, he completed 10 cross-ranking kills consecutively and obtained 500 card draws.
Since he had enough cards to use, he did not draw any more cards at the moment. Instead, he saved the 500 card draws and the 100 card draws that he had left earlier.
After obtaining the cross-ranking reward, Lin Huang brought Yi Zheng and the rest to the center of the ruins for the next few days. Along the way, Lin Huang and the rest had looted almost all the small and medium-sized ruins. Not only did they obtain a lot of loot, but they had also found a suitable Life Fire monster to upgrade to blue flame-level.
Of course, the Life Fire monster that they had chosen was a double mutated monster. They did not choose a triple mutated monster as there were not many of them and they would not be able to defeat it even if they encountered one.
Ever since they leveled up to blue flame-level, both of them relied on a large number of Life Crystals to nurture their Life Fire every night.
Lin Huang's Life Fire was growing rapidly every day as Lancelot killed the monsters. Sometimes, at night, when there were no strong monsters outside the ruins, Lin Huang would release Lancelot to kill the monsters. There were two Life Fires in Lin Huang's body. One of them stopped growing after reaching 50 meters while the other one continued growing to 300 meters. Originally, the two flames were as symmetrical as tea leaves, but the 50-meter flame had completely become a foil.
There was nothing Lin Huang could do about it. After all, quadruple mutated monsters only existed in legends. It was an accident that he encountered the Regal Sword Killer. The Life Fire monsters that he could find now were at most triple mutated.
As for Leng Yuexin and Yi Zheng, they were more picky and had yet to find a suitable Life Fire monster.
In this vast expanse of ruins.
After walking for almost a week, Lin Huang and the rest finally arrived at the center of the ruins.
In the afternoon, when the sun was high up in the sky, they could see the huge ruins from afar.
Soon, Lin Huang and the rest landed at the periphery of the ruins.
"Lin Huang, is this the ruins that the Saints come to every time they come here?" After Li Lang landed on the ground, he looked around the ruins, but he did not find anything special about them.
"That's what the Eclipse Boa's inherited memory said." Lin Huang nodded.
"It's impossible for the Saints to come here for no reason. Let's be patient and see if we can find anything," Leng Yuexin suggested.
The rest of them nodded in agreement.
"Don't split up in case there's any unknown danger. Although it looks like it's safe here from above, nobody can be sure about the actual situation, "Lin Huang reminded again.
The wreckage of the ruins was huge. It looked like a huge castle, but it was a castle that only had half a floor left. Looking at the remaining half of the door, it was more than ten meters tall. One could tell that the real height of the door of the castle was more than thirty meters.
"What a huge house. Are giants living in it?" Yi Yeyu could not help but complain when she saw the huge doors and windows.
Meanwhile, Yi Zheng stopped in front of a wall. There was a sword mark on the wall.
Just when Lin Huang was about to leave with the rest of them, he saw Yi Zheng staring at the sword mark in a daze.
Yi Yeyu was about to slap her brother but Lin Huang grabbed her wrist and gestured for her to keep quiet.
"Don't disturb him. He must have understood something from the sword mark," Lin Huang whispered to the rest of them.
Yi Yeyu retracted her hand embarrassedly.
"The marks on the wall might be the remnants of a powerful battle intent. Let's take a look. Perhaps we'll find something." Lin Huang noticed the marks on the wall after seeing what Yi Zheng did.
Leng Yuexin and the rest began to observe the battle marks on the wall.
Lin Huang did not go far. Instead, he flew into the air and looked at the cut mark on the door. It was obvious that the mark was made by a sword. Not only the door, but the entire palace seemed to have been cut in half by someone.
Lin Huang stared at the sword mark for a while but he did not feel anything special. He then told Lancelot to look after the rest of them while he followed the sword mark.
A few minutes later, he circled the entire ruins. When he returned, he once again looked at the cut mark on the gate.
Right at that moment, Lin Huang's mind went blank as an image appeared in his head.
A palace that was hundreds of meters tall had been standing for hundreds of years. It was brightly lit, and there were people singing and dancing, drinking and having fun, and people talking loudly …
One day, a young man appeared in front of the palace door. He wore a white robe and his hair reached his waist. Although his face could not be seen clearly, Lin Huang could vaguely feel that he was a handsome man.
The man was holding a long black sword. Lin Huang could not tell what the grade of the sword was. Suddenly, the man swung the sword in his hand.
The next moment, the entire palace was sliced into two by a single slash. Not only that, but all the people in the hall, regardless of which floor they were on, were all cut in half at the waist by this one saber strike …
Lin Huang was stunned by the shocking scene. He was sure that the man had only used one slash, but he could not understand how he managed to achieve such an effect as the man did not use his Realm Power.
The ordinary slash was deeply imprinted in Lin Huang's mind. After a while, Lin Huang came back to his senses.
"What's going on?!" Lin Huang did not expect that as soon as he came back to his senses, he realized that the Sword Dao in his body had automatically broken through to level-4 Sword Dao – Oblivion.
