The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 445: Rallying the World

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Outside of earth, a giant golden wolf was howling. Its enormous figure was drenched in blood as it hovered in space. It was like something out of a myth.

The quasi-sage Golden Wolf let out a long howl after losing half its body. It simply couldn't believe a beam of light from the moon had caused grievous injuries and almost killed it.

At this time, the Nine Yin Sparrow's entire body was frigid. It had shrunk down significantly and was only several hundred meters tall. It had never felt so weak before.

It noticed that the Golden Wolf was injured by the sagemater's methods because the moon used to be his residence. There were many domains upon it that were not the slightest bit weaker than those on earth.

On earth, many people were shaken. Almost everyone felt their nerves on the verge of snapping from all this torment.

The half of the quasi-sage Golden Wolf's body was quite large and almost a one-fourth of the earth. It hovered in space with its golden hair all puffed up as it howled at the moon.

This was a true case of a heavenly wolf howling at the moon!

"Go, let's leave!" The Nine Yin Sparrow said in a soft, trembling voice. The glory of its lifetime had come to an end after having its quasi-sage realm severed.

It knew that it would no longer be able to shake the starry skies. The legend of fallen saints had actually been realized; this would definitely cause a huge quake among the various races.

The Nine Yin Sparrow would soon become a focal character, but as one who had failed.

Not only had it failed to become sanctified but its quasi-sage realm was also severed. It was simply too tragic. Its eyes were sinister as it swore to rise back again—it vowed to become a saint sooner or later and even illuminate the heavens!

The domains on earth didn't erupt again, neither did energy beams continue to shoot out from the moon.

Doubtlessly, the two planets were geared towards defense. Now that the two quasi-sages had retreated, they planets no longer continued their assault. The two were temporarily safe.

The quasi-sage golden wolf was extremely cold, its pair of golden eyes profound and unfathomable. It felt that greatly wronged—it was near the edge of the moon and had just released its terrifying aura to save the Nine Yin Sparrow when it was suddenly bombarded.

Presently they were safe after being heavily injured and their quasi-sage auras withdrawn.

The quasi-sage Golden Wolf's body shrunk down. Its half remaining body was emitted blood energy as new limbs began to grow out and, afterwards, it immediately left with the Nine Yin Sparrow in tow.

As for the azure wolf who was drawing his chariot, it had died just now and turned to ash after being struck by the light beam from the moon.

A beam of golden light emerged as the golden wolf carried the Nine Yin Sparrow away and left the solar system. It didn't even give those metallic battleships a second glance.

On the ground, many people cheered with incomparable delight. The people didn't know the matters that happened later on, but they understood that the blood red bird had been crippled. They had all witnessed that scene.

Such a big red bird of prey, flying around in space was too conspicuous. Its size was comparable to planets and was witnessed by countless people just now.

"This executioner directly fell from the quasi-sage realm and had his cultivation crippled. It will soon experience boundless bitterness and difficulties." Chu Feng waved his fist. The Nine Yin Sparrow having his realm severed was a great outcome.

At the border of the solar system, Yang Xuan, Hu Qingcheng, and Qing Lan were all trembling. It was actually such an outcome—the two quasi-sages had come with great momentum and one of them had even come close to sanctification. However, everything was turned around in the end and they had to leave with great dejection.

"Saint slaughter! Such a thing had actually happened. It would surely cause a great commotion in the depths of the starry skies." They all sighed emotionally and felt that everything was unreal.

The three gazed at the distant earth. The domain runes there had long since disappeared and the sagemaster's image had dimmed down. It then vanished in a shower of radiant specks.

A silver beam flew into the atmosphere and soon vanished.

That was a silver piece of paper. The one-page heavenly book!

Presently, no consciousness or gaze could catch it because it was a domain in and of itself. It was a peerless divine object of this field with various domains carved upon it. How could lock on to it?

Chi!

With a buzz, the silver page fell onto the ground on a certain part of Mount Longhu and pierced into the rocks.

Chu Feng's heart began to palpitate. No one was clearer than him what this heavenly book implied. It was a supreme domain inheritance which the sagemaster had obtained by chance and its origins were a mystery.

Chu Feng put it away, not daring to let people sense it.

In outer space, however, things weren't quite as peaceful. As the page of heavenly book disappeared, three figures arrived madly and seemed to be searching for something.

That was because they guessed that this was a divine item left behind by the sagemaster.

"A domain heavenly book?"

One of them had seen clearly how domains interweaved as the paper tore the Nine Yin Sparrow apart and destroyed its sage foundation. He was definitely an extraordinary and boundlessly terrifying saintly item.

"What a pity. It's disappeared into the planet!" Another sighed.

I have the urge to reincarnate into a saint child and go down to contend for fortunes!"

Finally, the three figures all vanished.

Doubtlessly, these weren't their real bodies. They were quasi-saints projecting their images across an endless distance. This could also be called divine manifestation.

Yang Xuan, Hu Qingcheng, and Qing Lan witnessed everything and their bodies were all icy cold. It wasn't just the Golden Wolf and the Nine Yin Sparrow, but there were three more quasi-sages. Five powerful experts had arrived here in succession.

Any one of them could be considered experts in the starry skies and would rarely be seen under normal circumstances. But today, an entire five quasi-sages had come!

"Is everything over?" Qing Lan asked in a soft voice. He drummed up the courage to turn back and look into the depths of the starry sky.

"Perhaps things should end here," Yang Xuan whispered.

They knew that there was a true saint behind the Nine Yin Sparrow or even a heaven illuminator. Otherwise, a mere quasi-sage wouldn't have so many divine items for death substitution.

Suddenly, at the very moment, they glanced back, a pair of gigantic eyes, each as large as a planet, slowly opened within the starry skies.

"Things… aren't over!" Hu Qingcheng was astonished.

There was indeed an unfathomable existence there. The pair of eyes opened instantly, causing even their thoughts to freeze up and their spirits to almost collapse. This life form was too terrifying.

A bloody color emerged within those eyes like a bloody moon expanded several times over. It hung in the dark sky gazing intently in earth's direction.

They trembled, they quivered and then their whole body fell limp. Yang Xuan, Hu Qingcheng, and Qing Lan couldn't help but fall on their knees. Their thoughts had stagnated, their spirits frozen and everything was happening out of instinct.

Such a peerless evolver brought about an extreme suppression which a normal entity could hardly endure. The only exceptions would be people at the crown prince level who were the most gifted geniuses of their planets. Others would find their spirits on the verge of collapse.

In the end, the pair of enormous eyes closed and the two bloody moons reflected in the depths of the starry skies vanished. That entity didn't come over to attack.

"Oh Heavens, that's too terrifying. Considering his strength, that expert definitely rose to fame since antiquity and his true name spread across the cosmos."

They firmly believed that he was at least an ancient sage!

"Why did he leave just like that?"

"He's only here to probe the earth's abilities with the quasi-sage Nine Yin Sparrow. Sigh, people at their level are not something we can figure out."

While they were discussing this matter, their respective communicators began to ring. Apparently, something major had just happened.

Following which, they hurriedly browsed through the news and were all flabbergasted. Even their backs felt chilled.

"This planet once ranked eleventh is indeed unfathomable. Some claim to have seen some bronze coffins floating through the desolate regions of the cosmos!"

This news had broken out not long ago and shook the depths of the starry skies. Many people were left uneasy.

"Has the sagemaster really not died entirely?" Yang Xuan and the others trembled.

"Could the bronze coffins have appeared due to their resonation with that wisp of materialized imprint from earth?"

They couldn't surmise the reason and only made wild guesses.

Following which, their communicators rang out once again. A major incident had occurred.

"The moon on which the quasi-sage Nine Yin Sparrow was had taken residence has been destroyed!"

The Nine Yin Sparrow had just attacked earth and wanted to launch a massacre when its old lair had been overturned by someone else.

Rumor had it that the Nine Yin Sparrow lived on the moon of a certain vital planet and had no small number of descendants there. It had evolved from a Yin Sparrow and thus favored places with an extreme yin aura.

But now, that entire moon had been swatted into pieces by a giant hand!

"Someone witnessed this with their own eyes. It's suspected to be a quasi-saint hand!"

Yang Xuan, Hu Qingcheng, and Qing Lan finally understood why the owner of the pair of terrifying eyes who was gazing at earth from the depths of the cosmos decided to leave. Both the coffins at the edge of the cosmos and the mysterious expert who had destroyed the Nine Yin Sparrow's residence were thorns he wanted to get rid of.

"This is astonishingly similar to historical incidences!"

"Back then, long after the earth declined from the eleventh rank, someone wanted to completely annihilate this planet. In the end, a bronze coffin appeared and an expert came into being to attack that person's clan."

Today, the same thing had happened once again.

"Most of the experts who escaped earth should've died by now. At most, there should be one or two left. They must be taking revenge specifically."

They guessed that it likely wasn't the sagemaster who had reappeared. So much so that even the appearance of the bronze coffins was fake news made to intimidate people.

"Some people are guessing that, among the group who'd escaped from earth, all the saints have perished and only a quasi-saint remains alive. How tragic to see a former rank-eleven planet fade away completely."

…

While the three were discussing this matter, the Nine Yin Sparrow was crying in fury within the depths of the starry sky. He had almost gone mad.

Although it was cold-blooded, the destruction of his home and the death of his descendants still filled him with wrath. He had massacred so many people throughout the years but had never suffered such a great loss.

Today, he was first severed of his quasi-saint position and then had his resident moon annihilated in a single slap. It felt intolerably bullied and vowed never to rest until the enemy was killed.

"I must return to the ancestral planet and recuperate there!" It didn't dare go anywhere else. A chill ran down its spine at the same time its heart felt cold.

"No, I want to take a look at earth before I leave." The Nine Yin Sparrow requested the quasi-sage Golden Wolf to send him over.

That was because it was too unwilling. So much so that it wanted to travel the star passages and borrow the current crippled cultivation level to once again attack earth. It wanted to slaughter the rebels and condense its fortune.

"Very well!" The quasi-sage Golden Wolf transformed into human form. It had completely recovered. His head was full of small golden plaits and his aura, oppressive. He took one stride forward onto the golden path and once again charged into the solar system.

"Dao friend, let me borrow your powers for a moment," the Nine Yin Sparrow implored.

Afterwards, its eyes erupted with light and two beams of scarlet brilliance shot down towards the earth's surface.

People on earth could no longer see the Golden Wolf because his body had shrunk to less than two meters and was no longer blotting out the sky as he hovered in the darkness of outer space.

At the quasi-sage level, one could see the surface of the earth with great clarity without a clairvoyant ability.

As long as they didn't attack, the domains on earth wouldn't retaliate.

The Nine Yin Sparrow first gazed at Mount Zhongnan because that was where his descendant's star passage connected to. And that was also where he had killed his way out during in the past and rose to power after killing countless people.

It saw a scarlet-haired youth within the folded space in the rear of Mount Zhongnan. He looked proud, unbridled and possessed cold eyes, just like the sparrow had looked in the past.

Doubtlessly, that was saint child. There were many people around him and all of them were accompanied by dense killing intent.

"Zhu Wuque!" The Nine Yin Sparrow mumbled. That was one of the descendants he admired the most and one whom he had personally sent into the star passage. His temperament resembled the sparrow of the past.

Zhu Wuque, at this moment, was highly agitated because he had personally witnessed the Nine Yin Sparrow being beheaded although he was within the folded space. Presently, he was completely restless.

At this moment, he felt something and suddenly looked up to see two beams of scarlet light fall down. His heart trembled as he cried, "Old Ancestor, are you alright?"

His senses were too sharp and immediately guessed who it was.

The Nine Yin Sparrow had the Golden Wolf help him to form some words within the folded space, asking about the situation on earth.

"A heaven's chosen called Chu Feng has appeared and defeated the troops belonging to my sworn-brother, Yuwen Chengkong's, descendant? And he even killed many knights?" The Nine Yin Sparrow was immediately alarmed after knowing of this matter because it had heard that Chu Feng's attack methods were mostly related to domains.

"Find this Chu Feng even if you dig ten meters into the ground and slaughter him. Seize all the secrets he has on him!" The Nine Yin Sparrow issued such an order.

That was because it had made certain connections. The sagemaster's silver heavenly book was on earth and would most likely choose this person if it were to pass on the inheritance.

"Heaven's chosen. I don't care if he's the true one or the false one. As long he's a domain inheritor then we must kill all of them!" The Nine Yin Sparrow said in a cold voice.

Following which, it turned its gaze towards Mount Lu to check on his sworn brother, Yuwen Chengkong's, descendant and find out more about the situation.

"Ninth Ancestor!" Yuwen Feng was somewhat excited after realizing that the beam of scarlet light was the Nine Yin Sparrow borrowing another's power to perform a divine manifestation.

This so-called ninth ancestor was because the sparrow was ranked ninth among his ancestor, Yuwen Chengkong's sworn brothers. All of them were vicious people among the heavenly knights!

Yuwen Feng recounted truthfully, all the matters that had happened on earth.

Here, the Nine Yin Sparrow once again heard of Chu Feng 's name and understood more about him.

It was a quasi-sage and possessed shockingly keen senses!

"You're saying that this Chu Feng so bizarre that he's able to make you sense a dangerous aura after calming down? You even think he might become a huge calamity later on?!" The Nine Yin Sparrow manifested its divinity and formed words with the scarlet light.

Yuwen Feng reported, "Yes! His evolutionary level isn't high, but I felt slightly sluggish when I circulated my Hundred Transformations Breathing Technique. Back then, I didn't pay it much heed, but after calming down I feel that I was restrained by his breathing technique. The more I think about it the more dangerous it feels. There is definitely a great secret in his body and I suspect he owns a breathing technique at the level of the top-ten worlds!"

The Nine Yin Sparrow had lived since antiquity and finally became a quasi-sage. Not only was he ruthless and fierce, but he also had true ability. His instincts were more terrifying than one could imagine.

"This rebel is too extraordinary. We must kill him!" He immediately made such a judgement.

"Are we done?" The quasi-sage Golden Wolf spoke in outer space. He felt a certain premonition. Even though they weren't actively attacking the earth, such prying made him feel rather uneasy.

"Wait a moment. Before I disperse my dao, allow me to borrow brother's power to grasp a wisp of heavenly mystery!" The Nine Yin Sparrow said.

A quasi-sage's dao dispersal was extremely astonishing. After losing their realm and before their energy completely disperses, they would gain a split second of enlightenment and bury the seeds for their future rise to power.

Presently, it wanted to perform this rite immediately. Its only hope was to borrow this moment of enlightenment to pry into the heavenly mysteries and check the circumstances.

That was because it cared a great deal about this Chu Feng. It was extremely cautious about the rebels of this planet because it had killed too many people here.

Chi!

In outer space, divine light erupted as the Nine Yin Sparrow's final quasi-sage splendor dispersed and disappeared between the heaven and earth.

"Eh!?" It trembled.

That was because, when it meditated upon the rebel Chu Feng, its heart felt extremely uneasy and horrified. This wasn't a good omen and likely meant that this person was a disaster.

"Dao friend, let me borrow your power to announce a decree. I will definitely repay you deeply in the future!" The Nine Yin Sparrow was incomparably serious as it begged the quasi-sage Golden Wolf for help.

In the end, a series of vague words traversed the firmament, rallying all of the divine sons and saintesses of the star passages. It announced that anyone who attacked and killed the native Chu Feng would be able to obtain a Saint Bronze Seal!

This so-called Saint Bronze Seal was an item, but most importantly, it represented a certain meaning. A bronze seal granted by a saint meant that he would take one action for the holder!

How great a fortune and opportunity was this?! Was there anything in the cosmos that a saint couldn't do?

Within moments, every famed mountain was shaken. All the fairies, saint children, and princes were in an uproar.
