The bronze door closed behind them.
It was completely dark.
Nothing could be seen around them.
Their group followed the passage and continued forward.
"Do you not know anything about this ruin at all?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The secrets of our race that have been passed down since ancient times are sealed in our minds, only when we reach the corresponding location in the ruin would the seal be undone and we would be able to learn the relevant information" the king replied.
Gu Qing Shan praised: "What an excellent method, to prevent secrets from being accidentally revealed"
He wasn't worried that the king would lie at all.
— — I've already given up on all possible gains, only asking for information.
According to the contract, the king must tell me anything he knows.
The dark passage was very long.
After flying for a long while, they finally slowed down.
There was a cliff in front of them.
Outside the cliff was a torrential wind, mixed with a bone-chilling coldness, emerging from the depths of the ground, whistling straight up into the darkness where the top could not be seen.
Numerous sky-reaching pillars stood on the other side of the cliff, displaying a sense of terror to the group — — -
Countless corpses were fastened to the pillars.
Or rather, the pillars were made from corpses.
There were all kinds of mysterious corpses.
Densely packed insect carapaces.
Human corpses that were hugging each other.
Beasts that were frozen in place.
Strange and mysterious Abyssal monsters.
Too many to count.
Gu Qing Shan even saw a creature that completely belonged to the legends of cultivation.
— — -a Sky Dragon.
The Sky Dragon coiled around the pillars, its gigantic body was greyish-white, almost like some sort of lifeless specimen.
These pillars stood in the bottomless darkness, leading to the endless void.
Above and below, endless.
This scene deeply shocked everyone.
The king held his forehead with his hand and moaned in pain.
He endured the pain and muttered: "Ah … I can sense a certain secret, its seal is about to be undone, wait a moment"
Everyone stood still and waited.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Lola, you need to put on your armor"
Lola was surprised.
She first put on the Bramble Bird Sovereign armor, then walked up to Gu Qing Shan and took out a cube of ice about the size of her palm.
"What is this?" Gu Qing Shan asked curiously.
Lola had a mysterious look on her face. Instead of answering directly, she used telepathy to communicate with Lucien. "Do you still remember when we were outside the Broken Abyss of the broken world? I said that there was something more powerful than the King's Armor approaching us from the vortex, and I had to get it."
"I remember, we couldn't resist the temptation at that time, we still got it in the end" Gu Qing Shan said.
"It's this thing. I haven't been able to figure out its benefits, but I feel that it's definitely better than all of my armor. Try it out," Lola said.
She handed the ice to Gu Qing Shan.
It was cold to the touch.
Gu Qing Shan held the ice cube and found that it was a crystal clear piece of ice. There was a stream of flowing water in it. She didn't know if it was water or something else, but it kept flowing.
Lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[Elemental Defense, Song of Night, the personal armor of the Elemental Fairy King: Embrace and Praise of the Frozen Eternal Night and Winds of Chaotic Tribulation]
[Description: This is a lost and incomplete Divine Armor, you are unable to use its complete properties]
[Description: This is a Divine Armament, you must communicate with the Artifact Spirit in order to learn its corresponding properties]
[Special note: This armor's Artifact Spirit had disappeared countless years ago, but the War God UI has preserved the relevant records of this armor, you will be able to learn the following properties:]
[Song of Frozen Ice: Whenever an enemy's attack comes into contact with this armor, their attack speed will be reduced by 3% until they are completely frozen (unusable)]
[Praise of Eternal Night: At nightfall, your defense will be increased by three times]
[Song of the Frozen Wind: Whenever you kill an enemy, all of their soul power will be infused into your weapon to increase the power of your next attack (unusable)]
[Praise of the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation: The Winds of Chaotic Tribulation that surround you will completely nullify an enemy's attack, once per day]
Gu Qing Shan's eyes were a bit dazzled and asked: "War God UI, why are there two abilities that I can't use?"
[Ting]!
After a clear chime, the War God UI replied: [Because this armor has been heavily damaged, half of its abilities are unusable, but you now have two types of praises, that is more than enough]
As soon as it said so, the block of ice in Gu Qing Shan's hand broke apart and turned invisible.
Lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Time determination: The current state is nighttime]
[Praise of Eternal Night and Praise of the Winds of Chaotic Tribulation have been activated at the same time]
[Any enemy attack against you will be nullified by the armor, a total of three times]
Gu Qing Shan felt a faint gust of wind brushing past her body.
It was a formless armor.
Tch — –
That's powerful.
He couldn't help but look at Lola.
At this point, Lola had taken out three sets of armor and gave them to Jang Young-ho, Ye Fei Li, and Boss respectively.
The armor she carried with her could be considered the most powerful in the entire 900 million World Layers.
Everyone thanked her and put on the armor.
Ye Fei Li sighed emotionally: "Normally, according to the rules of the game, we have to kill all the monsters in order to receive the reward, but we've already obtained such powerful armors before the battle"
He was wearing a bright red armor with a pair of illusionary wings hovering behind his back, giving him a demonic appearance.
Lola giggled: "I don't know how to fight, so I'll have to rely on you to protect me from now on"
"Of course, your majesty" Ye Fei Li replied.
At this point, the king had already opened his eyes, silently looking at the forest of corpse pillars in front of him and said:
"I know how to get there"
He walked to the edge of the cliff, knelt down in front of a broken rock, and chanted the God of Life's prayer.
A while later.
The broken rock began to tremble.
Outside of the cliff, a floating stone slab appeared out of thin air.
The king stood up and said: "We must stand on the stone slab, it will take us past this forest of corpses"
"Remember, do not release any power, otherwise, unknown monsters might be drawn here"
Everyone nodded.
Lola curiously asked: "What would happen if I used power?"
The king took out a small, intricate box from his chest pocket and threw it towards the faraway forest of corpses.
As the box hit one of the corpse pillars, it broke apart, revealing a scroll that gave off magical fluctuations inside.
"Aaaaah!!!!!"
Billions of screams.
All the corpse pillars screamed in pain.
Before anyone could see what was going on, the scroll had already disappeared into the air in pieces.
All the corpses on the corpse pillars seemed to have come back to life, madly searching for any new movements.
There was even a giant arm covered in rotting flesh that emerged from one of the corpse pillars.
The arm grabbed at the void of space.
The void of space shattered.
Gu Qing Shan's group remained silent as they silently watched this.
The king couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
He only wanted to demonstrate, but the situation was even more terrifying than he expected.
"Do you see that? Do not release any power, otherwise you'll be torn apart right away "
"What about talking?"
"Talking won't affect anything — — - but I suggest using telepathy"
Everyone nodded in unison.
The power of that arm was too terrifying, even looking at it made them feel like they couldn't resist it.
"Alright, be careful, let's go" Gu Qing Shan said.
He lightly leapt onto the stone slab.
Everyone stepped forward and steadied themselves.
It was now that the king noticed something.
The people who explored the ruin with him were all wearing armor.
That's right, to explore such a dangerous ruin, of course they would need armor.
But what's going on with these armors!?
The king's gaze passed through everyone and couldn't help but stare blankly.
He knew better than Jang Young-ho and Ye Fei Li how powerful these armors were.
These people weren't particularly strong.
But their unique abilities were all very powerful.
And their equipment was excellent.
— — -that's really good.
Jang Young-ho noticed his gaze and asked in surprise: "What are you looking at? Is there a problem? "
He was wearing a full suit of black armor, occasionally fading into the void of space, looking extremely mysterious.
After a long silence, the king stammered: "About that — –"
"Speaking of which — –"
"I only have a single question — –"
"Although I'm the King — –"
"But I also have more ideals — –"
"You know, being the King is a tough job, I don't really want to do it"
Jang Young-ho was a bit confused and couldn't help but ask: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Are you still recruiting?"
The king asked.
