Chapter 1145

Countless sparring matches, each won by Luo Feng, and by the end, even the instructors of the elite training camp were interested in sparring with him—yet they still lost.

"Luo Feng, your strength has advanced far too quickly; you are now one of humanity's greatest warriors. According to our rules, you are entitled to benefits from our side—I'm sure you won't refuse."

In the end, two figures appeared, both radiating power beyond the War God realm.

"This…"

Luo Feng hesitated slightly.

"I'm certain the Daoist wouldn't refuse the benefits we offer you—especially since these benefits will greatly enhance you and make you stronger."

The two continued speaking.

"Fine."

Luo Feng finally agreed.

Thus he received many benefits: first, the complete secret manuals of the Ninefold Thunder Blade; second, ten SS-class flying daggers; third, a vial of dragon blood to enhance his physical strength; and of course, one opportunity: entry into the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins.

"The opportunity to enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins?"

Following his master, Luo Feng had learned many secrets in just one day—for example, that on Earth there existed ancient civilization ruins, some so perilous that even Hong, humanity's strongest, dared not enter without authorization; others, however, could be entered, and figures like Hong and Lei Shen had risen to prominence precisely because they gained benefits from such ruins.

The training tower, challenge rooms, and gravity chambers he had seen today were all treasures Hong had obtained from ancient ruins, used to cultivate human warriors.

Now, the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins he was about to enter were of lower danger, and were the place where one could obtain the Black God Set—a defensive armor.

Of course, the place still held danger: generally, 70% of War Gods who entered suffered injury or death, with only a 30% success rate—entering or not was entirely optional.

"I've already received my master's cultivation; if I've encountered such a ruin, I must venture inside and test myself!"

Without hesitation, Luo Feng decided to enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins.

"My disciple has gone to the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins?"

Meanwhile, in the Dao Inquiry Palace, Fang Yu, while meditating on the laws of the Dao, also witnessed a scene nearby.

He saw Luo Feng, Yan Ruxue, Deng Jian, and others all heading toward the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruin.

The No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruin lay deep within the Amazon jungle; though partially developed, it remained largely unexplored. Each year, many War Gods entered, but many were injured—nearly 70% suffered varying degrees of harm or death, while only 30% gained great benefits: the Black God Set and other treasures.

The Black God Set was a suit of armor capable of covering the entire body at will, with formidable defense—its rank even reached the level of a Treasure Artifact in the Eternal Life Realm.

Such a treasure appearing on today's Earth was a supreme prize for all War Gods, compelling them to risk everything to try—so every year, those qualified to enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruin rushed to attempt it. Unfortunately, each person had only one chance.

"Elite apprentice Luo Feng, your death trial has officially commenced!"

"On the walls of the trial chamber are inscribed the 312 foundational techniques of the Spiritual Nian Master 'Master of Control.' Master these 312 techniques, and you may break free of this chamber. If you fail to break free within three years, you will fail the trial and die utterly."

As Fang Yu wildly channeled temporal-spatial power in the Dao Inquiry Palace, he saw Luo Feng already gain a stroke of fortune within the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruin—this too was a challenge.

At this moment, Luo Feng was trapped in a crystal chamber, its walls adorned with 312 human figures, accompanied by ancient ruin inscriptions.

The trial task of this ancient civilization ruin was to comprehend the 312 human figures within three years and break free of the trial chamber.

"You've already cultivated magic power—if you still need three years, that would be unreasonable."

Fang Yu glanced once, then looked away—after all, his disciple cultivated the Eternal Life Method, had refined his spirit to the Realm of Magic Power; his mental acuity needed no explanation—he had far surpassed others in comprehension.

Fang Yu directly channeled temporal-spatial power; within the Dao Inquiry Palace, the temporal-spatial force twisted and shifted, some voids directly connecting to other locations on Earth.

No. 31 Ancient Civilization Ruin.

This was the location connected by Fang Yu's temporal-spatial passage.

The No. 31 Ancient Civilization Ruin lay deep within the Shennongjia region of China. Within this ruin, the entire site appeared as a massive spherical structure, over 800 meters in diameter, its surface dotted with countless small pits, emitting vast quantities of toxic mist.

The mist was so potent and poisonous that no other life could approach.

The No. 31 Ancient Civilization Ruin, among all Earth's ancient ruins, was one of the most lethal.

On Earth, there were three ancient civilization ruins known as Dead Zones: No. 1, No. 12, and No. 31. The No. 1 Ancient Civilization Ruin lay deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean near the Bermuda Triangle—a silver-white pyramid standing 1,200 meters tall. The No. 12 Ancient Civilization Ruin lay in the Pacific Ocean, containing a spaceship. The No. 31 Ancient Civilization Ruin was, in fact, a hive, housing a Queen.

"Earth has insectoid races—and even an insectoid Queen."

Fang Yu's gaze fixed on the so-called No. 31 Ruin—the massive sphere was, in fact, the insectoid Queen, brought to Earth by a powerful cultivator and now designated as the No. 31 Ruin.

Had the insectoid Queen not fallen into a strange slumber, Earth would long ago have been devoured by the insectoids.

"Hand it over."

Fang Yu reached out, seizing the entire hive and dragging it into the Dao Inquiry Palace.

The insectoid Queen must be exceptionally skilled in the Dao of Creation.
