Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
No one spoke.
As they drew closer to that black light, the degree of spatial stagnation intensified sharply.
Fortunately, among the five, even Xu Zhangqing, whose cultivation was the lowest, was at the Middle Stage of the Void Refinement Realm.
Team Leader Luo Qinghan was even more a Transcendence Path powerhouse at the Mahayana Stage.
Furthermore, everyone was protected by top-tier magic treasures all over their bodies.
Although their movements were hindered now, not a single person felt any discomfort.
Xu Zhangqing stopped at a position about ten zhang from that black light, then released a streak of blue Yuan light from his palm.
The blue Yuan light traveled through the half-solidified space, its speed obviously several times slower than in normal void, but it still extended forward steadily.
When it touched the edge of the black light, it encountered no obstruction nor triggered any backlash; instead, it was gently sucked in by the black light.
The next second, the blue Yuan light passed through that black light before their eyes.
Not long after, feedback came from the other side, and Xu Zhangqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side of the black light there were no traps, no danger.
"We can enter."
Xu Zhangqing withdrew the blue Yuan light, then nodded to the four behind him.
Luo Qinghan stepped forward first; as her Cold Moon crossed the black light, it emitted a brief hum, and ice-blue moonlight instantly produced a ripple-shaped cold light ripple.
After the ripples faded, the whole person vanished.
Hundred Li Hong followed closely behind; as he squeezed through the black light, the White Tiger Sha Gold on his saber blade flashed once.
Mo Li brought Jin Buhuan through the black light from the shadows; the two used the safest method.
Xu Zhangqing was the last to cross the black light.
In the instant of crossing space, his vision experienced an extremely brief flicker.
What the eyes saw.
What the ears heard.
What the divine sense detected.
All perceived information surged into the brain at the same moment.
After his vision stabilized, he stood in a space beyond the scope of cognition.
What he stepped on was not soil or rock, but a pitch-black plane where almost no texture could be seen.
The sensation underfoot was extremely hard and extremely cold, the coldness seeping directly through the soles into the soles of his feet.
Fortunately, Return to Origin had near-immunity resistance to any negative effects.
The surrounding environment was also completely different from all previous expectations.
Xu Zhangqing thought he would see a boundless void or darkness, but the scene before his eyes was even stranger than the void.
There were architectural remains here.
There were human-shaped contours.
There were huge irregular structures floating in mid-air.
There were corridor pillars broken in half yet still hanging in place without collapsing.
There were blurry figures solidified in large patches into some semi-transparent state.
Everything was frozen in a strange state between "existence" and "extinction."
Like being thrown into a corner where even time would not flow, forever forgotten.
"Is this the Eternal Night Ruins?"
"A place where even death has died!"
"Compared to imagination, it simply exceeds expectations."
The people beside him could not calm their hearts at this moment.
Suddenly, Jin Buhuan's voice rang out: "I have organized countless materials about the Eternal Night Ruins in the Chamber of Commerce, and read too many records left by people.
But no words or images can compare to being here in person."
Luo Qinghan did not linger too long in this shock; she withdrew her gaze from the architectural remains in the distance and turned to Xu Zhangqing: "The interior of the Eternal Night Ruins is extremely vast, and the danger levels of different areas differ greatly.
The position we are standing at now should be the Slumber Zone of the outermost perimeter.
The Dead Silence Power here is relatively thin, the erosion speed relatively slow, so it is the safe zone where everyone most often stays.
But the opportunity you seek cannot be in the Slumber Zone.
Therefore, which direction should we go?"
Xu Zhangqing did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes and sank his mind into the Yuan Dao.
In this absolutely dead silent space, divine sense was constantly devoured by invisible darkness, and the detection range was compressed to an extremely small range.
But the Yuan Dao's perception of the law level did not rely on divine sense.
The Yuan Dao leaps out of the Three Worlds and is unstained by cause and effect; although the Dead Silence Power of the Eternal Night Ruins can devour divine sense and spiritual energy, it cannot sever the connection between the Yuan Dao and the laws.
Therefore, he raised the Yuan Dao's perception to the highest; the Lord of the Shen Guo opened his eyes in the Shen Guo, and the Qing Emperor Branch, Xuan Water Branch, Tu Soil Branch, Yuan Xu Branch, Zao Hua Branch—various branches were activated one by one.
Amidst dead silence, the Yuan Dao captured a trace of fluctuation.
Xu Zhangqing opened his eyes, raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Over there."
"Go."
Luo Qinghan did not hesitate; as Cold Moon hung high above her head, she contracted Vacuum Law Realm until it just covered the five people.
Extreme cold formed around the five people, creating a zhang-thick ice-blue Spiritual Shield.
Upon contact with Eternal Night Ruins' dead silence, the shield's surface continuously emitted faint cracking sounds.
But each time a layer shattered, a new layer of ice replenished it, always maintaining a stable defensive thickness.
With Luo Qinghan as the main force, the five people flew toward the direction Xu Zhangqing pointed.
Yet flying in Eternal Night Ruins is actually an extremely mana-consuming matter.
Inside Eternal Night Ruins there is no Spiritual Energy whatsoever, nor any laws to borrow power from.
The five people had only flown for a little over an hour when they distinctly felt their mana continuously draining away.
You must know, everyone present is either Void Refinement stage or Body Integration stage or even Mahayana Stage; logically they should not lack mana.
However in this place, Eternal Night's rules stand above all.
The scenery along the way underwent an obvious change compared to Slumber Zone.
Among the building remains frozen in a static state, more and more battle traces began to appear.
Some buildings retained dozens of claw marks on their surfaces, each over a zhang deep.
Some buildings were pierced through from top to bottom by some extremely violent force.
There were also several large fragments floating in the void, scattered with several giant-to-the-point-of-staggering demon corpses.
Those corpses were frozen by Eternal Night Ruins at the moment of death.
Some maintained a posture of roaring at the sky.
Some curled into a defensive posture, yet their chest cavities were punched through.
And within one skeleton, a faint demonic power fluctuation emanated.
Luo Qinghan paused briefly mid-flight: "This skeleton's residual demonic power is fundamentally not an ordinary Demon God, but a Full-level Demon God!"
Hundred Li Hong raised an eyebrow: "Above a Full-level Demon God lies the Progenitor!
A demon with this Dao Xing, its demonic power and mastery of laws are not weaker than Body Integration stage Shen Guo Manifest cultivators.
To make it die here, and after death not even its Remnant Soul escaped.
The danger level in the depths of Eternal Night Ruins is probably at least one tier higher than the intelligence previous Survivors brought out."
After flying another approximately one cup-of-tea's time, a scene appeared ahead that made everyone simultaneously slow down.
At the edge of the first patch of completely solidified building remains, dozens of human-shaped and demon-shaped contours floated in varied postures.
They are neither remains nor corpses, but were solidified in this very instant!
