Chapter 1685: Heart of the Earth

He stepped forward, preparing to pick up the Book of the Heavenly God, when suddenly a black shadow emerged from the darkness and attacked him.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng reacted swiftly, using the power of the Ancient Sword to block the black shadow's attack. An intense battle unfolded in the basement, with Seeing Xiao Yifeng and the black shadow evenly matched.

Just as he was about to exhaust his strength, he thought of that black ring. He quickly put the ring on his hand and used dark power to activate the ring's power.

Instantly, his strength doubled, and he defeated the black shadow with a single sword strike. Then, he used the power of the Ancient Sword to completely seal the black shadow.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng picked up the Book of the Heavenly God and walked toward the distance. He did not know how long his path would be, but as long as he had the help of this sword and the black ring, he could overcome all difficulties.

"You have done very well," the voice of the Guardian of the Black Ring sounded in Seeing Xiao Yifeng's mind. "You have found the Book of the Heavenly God."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng tightly gripped the black ring and the Book of the Heavenly God, his heart growing more and more convinced that he could definitely complete this task. He walked toward the distance, continuing to explore the secrets of this ruin, seeking more clues and items, constantly improving his strength and abilities.

The voice of the Guardian of the Black Ring continued to guide him in his mind, helping him unravel more secrets and seal the power of the ancient races. Finally, he found the method to seal the power of the ancient races, protecting the peace of this land and those weak and helpless lives.

In the days that followed, Seeing Xiao Yifeng continued to explore the secrets of the ruin under the guidance of the Guardian of the Black Ring. His strength gradually increased, and his mastery of dark power became more and more proficient.

"Do you know what is hidden beneath this land?" the voice of the Guardian of the Black Ring asked in Seeing Xiao Yifeng's mind.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng shook his head. "I do not know, but I very much want to know."

"Very well, then I will tell you: beneath this land is hidden a tremendous power, the power left behind by the ancient races," said the Guardian of the Black Ring. "Only by truly mastering this power can you completely seal those ancient races."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng frowned. "What should I do?"

"You need to find something, something that can awaken that power," said the Guardian of the Black Ring.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng asked in confusion, "What thing?"

"That is the Heart of the Earth," said the Guardian of the Black Ring. "Where is the Heart of the Earth? It is at the very bottom of the ruin. You must dig deep to find it."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng tightly gripped the black ring and the Book of the Heavenly God and walked toward the very bottom of the ruin. He dug deeper and deeper, opening more stone doors and mechanisms. Finally, he arrived at a huge basement. It was very quiet, with only a faint glimmer of light flickering. He saw a huge stone platform, and the object placed upon it emitted an ancient and mysterious aura. He stepped forward, picked up that object, examined it carefully, and then slowly put it on his body.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng felt a powerful force surge into his body. He knew he had found the Heart of the Earth.

"You now possess the power of the Heart of the Earth. That power allows you to completely seal those ancient races," the voice of the Guardian of the Black Ring sounded in Seeing Xiao Yifeng's mind.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng felt somewhat unsure. "Can I really do it?"

"You certainly can," said the voice of the Guardian of the Black Ring. "Now, you only need to find the place where those ancient races dwell, and then use the power of the Heart of the Earth to seal them."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng decided to start with the dark basement. He used the power of the Heart of the Earth to open the path leading to the basement, which was the place where the ancient races dwelled.

He stood at the entrance of the basement, took a deep breath, and then walked in. Inside was very dark, with only a faint glimmer of light flickering. He saw a huge ancient race, and they were preparing to attack him.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng immediately used the power of the Heart of the Earth to seal them all. Those ancient races could not withstand his power; they were sealed deep within the basement and would never again pose a threat to the world above ground.

After completing the task, Seeing Xiao Yifeng felt his strength had increased once more. He knew he had fulfilled his mission and could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"You have done very well," the voice of the Guardian of the Black Ring sounded in Seeing Xiao Yifeng's mind. "You have completed the task."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng smiled lightly. "Yes, I have completed the task."

"This ring now belongs to you," said the voice of the Guardian of the Black Ring. "It can allow you to better protect this land."

Seeing Xiao Yifeng took the black ring off his finger and put it around his neck. "I will keep it well."

He felt that the power and confidence now filling him were enough to let him face all future challenges.

Finally, Seeing Xiao Yifeng walked toward the distance, continuing to explore the secrets of the ruin, seeking more clues and items, constantly improving his strength and abilities. He knew his path was still long, but he believed that as long as he had the help of this sword and the black ring, he could overcome all difficulties and ultimately become the guardian of this world.

In the days that followed, Seeing Xiao Yifeng continued to explore the ruin, and his strength kept increasing. He gradually unraveled more secrets about the ancient races and dark power, learning how to use the power of the black ring more effectively.

"Do you know the source of dark power?" one day, the voice of the Guardian of the Black Ring sounded in Seeing Xiao Yifeng's mind.

Seeing Xiao Yifeng shook his head. "I do not know."
