Chapter 28 Ch 28: The Key To Ruin
Ye Xiao finally understood the reason behind the appearance of the Wooden Monster. It turned out that this monster was actually created by the Red Moon Master, and he used the Divine Inscription to bring the wooden monster to life.
Then again, since the wooden puppet was Red Moon Master’s creation, why did he leave this monster behind and not keep it inside the ruin of Red Moon Temple so that the inheritor of his legacy could also obtain his creation?
Witnessing the appearance of the Wooden Monster, Su Ling was also thinking the same. She also could not understand why the Red Moon Master left this wooden monster behind.
Suddenly, Ye Xiao seemed to have thought of something. He turned to look at Su Ling and said: “Previously, you told me that people had entered this secret realm hundreds of times in the past million years, but no one was able to find the ruin of Red Moon Temple, right?”
“Yes!” Although Su Ling has no idea why Ye Xiao was asking this question, she still nodded and answered.
Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up and hurriedly asked again: “Do you know if all the people who enter the secret realm returned safely or not?”
Shaking her head, Su Ling responded, “No, there have always been a lot of casualties. For some reason, the mortality rate in this secret realm is very high. Among thousand people, there might not be even a hundred people who returned alive.”
Ye Xiao nodded and asked again: “What is the strength of people who could enter this Red Moon Secret Realm?”
“This secret realm restricts people of Chaos Dus Realm and above from entering. Only those Three Cycles of Chaotic Transformation warriors and below could enter this secret realm. But… Why do you ask?”
Su Ling answered and asked in confusion. She could not understand why Ye Xiao was asking so many questions about this secret realm.
Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding. He was not puzzled over anything anymore, he was very sure of his guess now.
He also understood that Lei Guang and Lu Sha, as Chaos Dust Realm warriors were able to come to the Lost Forest of Red Moon because they did not come from the outside world. They have always been living in this secret space hidden by the Temple Master of Red Moon Temple.
Responding to Su Ling’s question, Ye Xiao replied, “I think I know why no one was able to discover the ruin of Red Moon Temple even after a million years.”
“What? Really?” Su Ling was shocked and exclaimed in surprise. At the same time, she stared at Ye Xiao’s demonic figure with expectations written all over her face.
Ye Xiao nodded and finally cleared Su Ling’s doubt, saying: “I think, you were wrong about me. I was never the key to the ruin of Red Moon Temple.”
“Then?” Su Ling frowned.
Raising his hand, Ye Xiao pointed at the wooden monster and said: “This monster must be the key. Think about it, this monster is a Chaos Dust Realm puppet. With this puppet here, the mortality rate of the secret realm could be understood. You could now guess why very few people were able to leave this space alive.”
“As for why Red Moon Master left this wooden monster behind, as far as I could think, it is this wooden monster is the test one needs to pass to make the ruin of Red Moon Temple appear. I think as long as this monster is killed, the ruin of Red Moon Temple will appear.”
Su Ling was shocked. She quickly looked at the wooden monster, her eyes were shining brightly. Now that she thinks, Ye Xiao seems to be right. This monster might really be the key to making the ruin of Red Moon Remple appear.
Red Moon Master was a Divine Inscription Master. He created this monster with the help of Divine Inscription and left it out of ruin. No one was able to find the ruin till now, it might be because no one was able to kill this monster. Instead, they were killed by it.
Nodding her head, Su Ling agreed. But then again, how to kill this monster?
“This wooden monster has the strength of a Chaos Dust Realm warrior. We are not its match. How will we kill it?” Su Ling asked worriedly.
“You are not its match, but this is not the case when it comes to me. Just wait and see!” Ye Xiao spoke while swinging the Void Shattering Spear in his hand which was completely covered in the dark evil energy.
“Roar!”
Although it might seem Ye Xiao and Su Ling were talking for a long time, in reality, it hasn’t even been a minute.
The wooden monster roared at Ye Xiao and was ready to attack him. Its eyes were flashing red and it looked really angry.
After a brief moment of pause, Ye Xiao’s blood-red eyes flashed with devilish light as the violent demonic energy rolled around his body. His body was covered by terrifying demonic energy.
“Squeak!”
In the next moment, a spear light filled with an endless and violent aura of slaughter pierced towards the wooden monster.
Sensing the terrifying power contained within Ye Xiao’s spear, the wooden monster froze on its spot for a few seconds before hurriedly dodging to the side. However, it was already too late!
The spear seemed to have broken through everything, piercing through the wooden monster’s body, causing the wooden monster to freeze completely.
“This is…”
Seeing this shocking scene, Su Ling’s face was filled with shock. She only felt a chill run down her spine.
“There’s something strange about the weapon in his hand. Moreover, that pure demonic energy and that strike… Just who is he?”
Su Ling muttered in a low voice.
On the other side, Ye Xiao pulled out the spear and looked at the hole in the shoulder of the wooden monster, only to see it rapidly filling with wood dirt. Very soon, the hole was completely filled up.
When Su Ling saw this, she thought of something and said, “The wooden monster is alive because of the Divine Inscriptions. It could not be killed as long as the Divine Inscription is still there. Moreover, this wooden monster was a puppet at first before it was transformed by the Divine Inscription. As a puppet, it must have a source of power. You need to look for its source and destroy it. Only then could you stop this wooden monster.”
Ye Xiao immediately understood what he has to do next after hearing Su Ling’s voice. He nodded and was ready to attack again
The aura flowing on his body became even more brutal. Waves of demonic light were released from his pupils.
“Roar!”
The wooden monster let out an earthshaking roar as it rushed toward Ye Xiao and clawed at his body, attempting to tear Ye Xiao’s body apart into pieces.
Ye Xiao also retaliated. The spear in his hand turned into a destructive streamer and crazily lunged at the wooden monster’s huge body. This thrust of the spear was very terrifying.
Even if it is a Chaos Dust Realm warrior, he or she might not be able to withstand the strike of this attack.
Facing Ye Xiao’s spear that could kill a powerful warrior of Chaos Dust Realm, the wooden monster didn’t dare to be careless. It retracted its claw and disappeared from where it stood in an instant.
The next moment, when it reappeared, it was already behind Ye Xiao. Both of its claws extended out, trying to pierce into his body. At the same time, a powerful stream of energy locked onto Ye Xiao’s body, making it difficult for Ye Xiao to move even a little bit.
And it was at this moment, the red demonic pupils of Ye Xiao suddenly shone with a green glow. It was the Eyes of Insight. Ye Xiao activated the Eyes of Insight so that he could see where the Source of this Monster is located.
The Eyes of Insight could see through the essence of everything that exists. There was nothing it could not see through. So, locating the source of the power of a puppet was very easy for these eyes.
When the two claws of the wooden monster were about to touch Ye Xiao’s body, Ye Xiao used his “teleportation” ability to teleport behind the wooden monster.
“Swoosh!”
Appearing behind the wooden monster, Ye Xiao’s body exploded with even stronger and more brutal demonic energy. And then, he struck out his spear that pierced into the right chest of the wooden monster in an instant. ov𝚕.co𝚖
“Bang!”
A dull sound was heard. And then, the sound of something shattering rang. The red eye of the wooden monster dimmed and very soon, the light in its eyes disappeared.
“Roar!”
But it does not mean that the wooden monster was dead. As long as the Divine Inscription is not destroyed, the wooden monster will not die.
