Chapter Fifty-Four Ancient Temple

  "It seems that the elders of Ling Xiu Cave Heaven have all been startled and are rushing here one after another."

  At this moment, the sky has darkened and the stars are twinkling in the sky.

  The two of them continued on for several more miles, and before they knew it, they had arrived at a desolate wasteland. Not a single blade of grass grew here; the entire area was scorched earth. There were only cracked foundation stones and shattered tiles, nothing else.

  In the darkness, a mysterious aura emanates from here, with faint black fog swirling around.

  "It's been thousands, tens of thousands of years, and yet there's still no vegetation growing in these ruins. It's really strange, a true barren land where even birds don't leave their droppings." Pang Bo muttered discontentedly, feeling a bit hungry at the moment, he couldn't even pick some wild fruits to fill his stomach.

  He had just finished speaking when he was suddenly struck by a massive force, stumbling and falling to the ground with a thud. Ye Fan's eyes widened in shock, hardly daring to believe his own eyes. Pang Bo sprang up with a jolt, turned around to look back, and instantly felt a chill run down his spine as he quickly retreated.

  Right in front of us, a cold corpse lay quietly there, the old skin wrapped around the bones, like dry firewood, it was actually a mummy.

  "What...what's going on? Where did this mummy come from?" Pang Bo felt a chill run down his spine, inexplicably hit by a desiccated corpse. Anyone would feel uneasy in such a situation.

  Ye Fan was also bewildered, he hadn't seen how the corpse had appeared. They kept looking around, this desolate ruin was empty, except for the rubble on the ground, there was nothing else. But the more it was so, the more it made people feel uneasy in their hearts, this was a piece of ancient land that had been abandoned for endless years, perhaps some unclean things really existed here.

  The sky grew darker and the starlight dimmed, the ruins were surrounded by an inky blackness, with a faint mist swirling around.

  "It's getting darker and colder......" Pang Bo felt a bit guilty, his whole body was covered in cold sweat, and he said: "Where did this corpse fall from anyway......"

  "Let's get out of here quickly." Yefan felt something was off and it wasn't a good idea to stay here for long.

  "What kind of place is this, how can it be so eerie!" Pang Bo said in a low voice, his back chilled with cold sweat.

  Bang

  Just then, Pang Bo was knocked down again. He rolled over and got up, and there was another dry corpse beside him.

  "Who... who is so inhumane, how can they just abandon a corpse like that?" The joke wasn't funny at all, both of them felt a chill run down their spines, and got goosebumps, constantly scanning their surroundings.

  Two dry corpses lay on the ground, with some clothing stuck to their bodies. With a light touch, they turned into powder, and it was unknown how many years they had been there.

  "What on earth are you? Come out!"

  Bang

  Another corpse appeared and knocked Pong Bo out.

  "Watch me, Pang Bo! You think I'm easy to bully?" Pang Bo was both shocked and indignant at the same time. Ye Fan was right next to him, yet he didn't get hit once.

  "What the hell is this thing, come out quickly!" Ye Fan growled.

  Boom

  The ancient ruins suddenly had a massive earthquake, sending Ye Fan flying out, while Pang Bo was also in disarray, rolling out very far.

  Bang, bang, bang...

  This time, not only was Pangbo hit, but Ye Fan also suffered a series of impacts. Corpse after corpse fell from the sky, knocking the two out. If it were an ordinary mortal, they would probably have been crippled by now, but because their physical bodies were extraordinary, they didn't suffer any harm.

  Dozens of corpses appeared on the ground, and the atmosphere was gloomy and chilly to the bone, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. The two men were horrified, unsure why all this was happening.

  Brush

  At this moment, Ye Fan felt that all the hairs on his back stood up, as if something was approaching rapidly. He didn't look back and rushed forward hastily, then quickly shifted his body to dodge to one side, swift as lightning.

  Two faint green glows brushed past him and stopped tens of meters away, flickering like will-o'-the-wisps. At the same time, the ruins around him suddenly turned pitch black, so dark that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, and the stars in the sky were completely obscured from view.

  "It's haunted!" Pang Bo subconsciously patted his side, unfortunately the bronze plaque of Dalai Temple was not brought out.

  At this moment, except for those two green lights, they couldn't see anything else. A black fog completely covered the entire ruins. The two green lights were about the size of a washbasin, like two balls of ghost fire, or a pair of huge eyes, exuding an eerie atmosphere in the dark fog.

  "There's really something dirty and unclean!" Ye Fan and Pang Bo suddenly tensed up.

  Brush

  This time, the two green lights moved extremely fast and arrived in front of Ye Fan in the blink of an eye. They still pounced on Ye Fan. Pang Bo wanted to help but was knocked flying by four or five dry corpses.

  The green light sped up and completely locked onto Ye Fan, darting left and right around him. In the end, a flash of light, and the two green lights disappeared, all entering his body.

  "Yefan!" Pangbo exclaimed in surprise, but he was powerless to stop what was happening.

  At the same time, Ye Fan felt a chill in his heart, as if he had been frozen. He quickly circulated the mystical method recorded in the Taoist scripture, and in an instant, a faint golden light burst out.

  Rumbling sound

  The sound of the tsunami burst out, and Ye Fan's bitter sea turned into a golden ocean, surging and foaming, rolling up two clusters of green light to the high sky.

  Boom

  A loud noise, two green lights were shocked and rushed out of Ye Fan's bitter sea, hiding far away. At the same time, Ye Fan's bitter sea suddenly calmed down, a golden light the size of a soybean grain seemed to be fixed there like a divine lamp.

  Brush

  The green light shot out extremely quickly, bursting out of Ye Fan's bitter sea and rushing straight towards Pang Bo. In the blink of an eye, it had entered his body. Pang Bo only managed to curse once before stiffening and falling to the ground, which shocked Ye Fan into rushing over quickly.

  "What's wrong with you, Pang Bo?"

  However, before he could get close, Pang Bo suddenly sat up, his eyes turned green and eerie, and he stood up in an instant, letting out a low growl like a wild beast, coldly staring at Ye Fan for several minutes before shifting his gaze.

  "What exactly are you, get out of his body." Ye Fan growled.

  Boom

  Just then, a strong wind blew, the entire ruins flew sand and rocks, black fog surged, Pang Bo stood there, his hair flying wildly, and then suddenly took large strides away, dozens of ancient corpses around him all floated up, following him to fly into the depths of the ruins.

  The sky cleared instantly, and the stars reappeared in the vast expanse. In the distance, one could see Pang Bo flying away, surrounded by a dark fog that was rolling and swirling, carrying with it dozens of ancient corpses, gradually disappearing into the distance.

  "Run!" Ye Fan shouted loudly and chased after him in big strides.

  However, Pang Bo's speed at this moment was too fast, enough to compare with those elders who drove the divine rainbow and moved, swift as lightning, disappearing from Ye Fan's line of sight in an instant.

  After being possessed by Pong Bo's body, life and death are unpredictable. At this moment, Ye Fan is extremely anxious, but he can't catch up with the opponent at all.

  Ahead, desolate and empty, Ye Fan had no other choice but to venture deeper into the ruins, now too busy to consider just how dangerous the path ahead was.

  It was deep into the night, and Ye Fan didn't know how many miles he had walked. He finally approached the deepest part of the ruins, where that dull sound was even more powerful. Every now and then, it would ring out, and each time it was like a punch to the heart. Ye Fan's face was deathly pale, and he stumbled along, his body barely able to support itself. If it were an ordinary person, their heart would have exploded long ago.

  Here, the trees are gradually sparse, and the broken ancient buildings are more and more, the spiritual energy is also more and more intense, there is a vigorous vitality, even more like a treasure land than Lingxu Cave Heaven.

  "Bang"

  Another dull sound, Ye Fan climbed up a high mountain and looked forward. The so-called "deepest part of the ruins" was in front of him, with ancient buildings densely packed together, although they had all been half-collapsed and turned into ruins, but it could be imagined how magnificent they were in the past.

  What's most astonishing is the endless ancient architectural complex, which surrounds a volcano. Flames are shooting up into the sky, and inside the ring-shaped mountain mouth, there's churning molten rock bubbling away. Although it hasn't flowed out yet, it's already terrifying, burning half of the sky red.

  Endless magnificent ancient buildings surround this volcano, making people feel very strange.

  At this moment, Ye Fan was extremely shocked, for he saw an incredible scene, with the boiling lava surging, a magnificent ancient temple made of crystal, floating and sinking in the volcanic mouth, occasionally emerging.

  "Bang"

  A dull sound came out, surprisingly from the inside of the volcano, or more precisely, from the ancient temple floating in the magma. It was shining brightly, crystal clear, with a breath of years flowing through it, and strands of divine mist swirling around.

  In the ancient building group under the volcano, a five-meter-long divine bird with golden light all over its body and electric arcs wrapped around it appeared intact here. It was the Thunderbird that had fought with King Scales two days ago. The outcome of King Scales can be imagined.

  The Thunderbird is a true super fierce bird, Wu Qingfeng said that even if he encountered it, he could only detour and walk around, it dominated the building area alone, and no creature dared to approach.

  Of course, it is not the only one. In other buildings, there are nearly twenty fierce birds and beasts, all of which are exotic and have never been heard or seen before, each with its own unique divine characteristics.

  A centipede with silver wings, its legs as thick as an arm, two meters long, shining all over, like a white silver casting, quietly lying in the ruins, other creatures dare not step forward.

  There is also a ferocious beast with the body of a bison, the head of a lion and its entire body covered in dense green scales, over ten meters tall, standing like a small mountain among the ruins, occupying a separate area.

  Almost twenty such terrifying creatures, enough to illustrate the horror of the depths of the ruins. At this moment, they surrounded the volcano and were intently gazing at the ancient temple that was constantly sinking and floating in the lava.

  At this time, Ye Fan finally found Pang Bo, standing among the ruins at the foot of the volcano. He let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, Wu Qingfeng and several other old men surrounded him, although they didn't make a move, but trapped him.

  Ling Xiu Dongtian brought nearly twenty elderly people, which was roughly the same as the number of fierce birds and beasts. It can be said that both sides had similar strength.

  "That is..."

  Suddenly, Ye Fan discovered that he had miscounted a few people. On the volcano, there were also living creatures - a two-meter-tall giant with scales covering his arms, shining brightly in the reflection of the lava. Next to him was a young girl without arms, but with a pair of golden wings and hair as bright as gold silk. Alongside them sat a gigantic snake with horns on its head and sharp claws on its belly, completely beyond the category of snakes, already considered a legendary python.

  Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat as he immediately thought that this was the legendary Great Demon King who had already transformed into a human form.

  "Also......" Ye Fan was shocked again, he found that on the other side of the volcano, there were three more suspected Da Yao, one of whom was a giant with an extremely robust build, over three meters tall, although it had a complete human body, but on its head grew two cow horns.

  At the same time, Ye Fan also discovered four or five real humans, one of whom seemed to be the master of Ling Xuan Cave Heaven, who had seen him from afar. Beside him were four old men with white hair and white beards, who were not far from the volcanic crater.

  It's completely divided into positions according to strength, with a dozen fierce birds and beasts under the volcano, as well as a group of elders from the Lingxu Cave Heaven. On top of the volcano are even higher-level existences, all of whom have come for the ancient temple in the magma.

  All the strong men gazed intently at the volcanic mouth, where magma churned and ancient temples glowed with a divine light, as if the power of time was flowing, giving people a sense of an ancient aura.
