Chapter 512 - Otherworldly Soldiers Crossing

Chapter 512: Otherworldly Soldiers Crossing

In the night, Su Zimo continued advancing and was getting nearer to the center of the Great Qian Ruins.

Although he came across some spirit stones and weapons along the way, they were not valuable and were commonly seen in the markets.

The Great Qian Ruins existed for 10,000 years and countless people have been here during that period of time.

The relatively safe areas at the outer perimeter were most likely ransacked thoroughly long ago.

If one wanted benefits, the greatest possibility would be at the depths of the ruins right in the center!

Su Zimo guessed that the outer perimeter of the Great Qian Ruins was mostly filled with little ghosts that did not have much power.

As he ventured deeper, he came across malevolent and evil ghosts.

If he were to continue advancing deeper into the center of the ruins, there was a high chance that he would meet with danger that could threaten Golden Cores!

As he looked down at the gigantic ravine that ran through the ruins from midair, Su Zimo felt a sense of trepidation.

Before long, he gradually stopped and gazed across, murmuring softly with a look of shock, “Was this the palace back then?”

At the front, a series of towering pitch-black walls stood piercing into the clouds majestically. Although it looked obvious that they were old, it also displayed the dominance of this palace back in the past!

Even the sight of the debris alone was enough to shock Su Zimo!

Against the palace walls, any cultivators would seem like an insignificant ant.

If the Asura Yan Beichen had not told Su Zimo about it, he would not have been able to imagine that a capital as huge as this was destroyed by a divine dragon overnight!

What a pity for such an empire.

Su Zimo lamented internally and entered slowly.

The moment he entered the vicinity of the palace, his expression changed and he frowned.

He felt a cold chill piercing his body!

Given Su Zimo’s immensely strong blood qi that could repel evil, the fact that he was able to sense chills meant that this palace was far from simple!

What a malevolent energy!

Su Zimo thought as he checked out his surroundings.

A prolonged stay in this palace would result in malevolent qi entering one’s body. Over time, it would result in massive issues within one’s body and could even reduce their lifespans.

Even with Su Zimo’s formidable blood qi, he did not dare to linger too long in this place.

“Seems like not only did many people die in this palace, their cultivation realms were not low either! Otherwise, such a terrifying malevolent qi wouldn’t have been formed!”

Just as he was about to move forward, his ears suddenly twitched.

“Hmm?”

Su Zimo’s eyes lit up and he shuffled his footsteps, stealthily dodging to the side and hiding behind a fake mountain without touching the ground with his heels.

Ta! Ta! Ta!

Before long, a series of dull footsteps sounded, marching in unison.

Gazing over, Su Zimo saw that there was a squadron of more than a thousand soldiers strolling over from a small path nearby.

All of those soldiers were armed and wore ancient armor that was filled with rust. Each of them wore helmets and were expressionless, emanating a frosty aura as though they came straight from Hell!

Otherworldly soldiers crossing!

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

Otherworldly soldiers crossing was formed from the lasting misfortune, vengeance, grievance and malevolence of soldiers that died on the battlefield or troops that met with untimely demise.

When the malevolent qi was too strong, it would even materialize into the images of otherworldly troops of the past.

In reality, all of these soldiers were already dead. However, their consciousness was stuck in the moment that they were dead as they continued with their missions in an orderly manner.

For example, the thousand-odd soldiers here were tasked to patrol the palace before their death.

Even 10,000 after their deaths, the otherworldly soldiers that were conjured maintained their vigilant stance and continued patrolling the palace against enemies!

All of a sudden!

The otherworldly squad that had initially passed the fake mountain paused and their leader turned around slowly, gazing towards Su Zimo’s hiding spot.

The leader of the otherworldly squad was not weak and the aura he gave off was similar to an early-stage Golden Core at least!

Furthermore, he had extremely keen senses!

Su Zimo had just recognized the otherworldly soldiers crossing and his pores emitted a faint bloodline qi. Instantly, the leader of the squad noticed.

Given the icy environment, the slight heat of blood qi could be sensed instantly by the strong otherworldly soldiers!

Su Zimo was extremely quick to react as well as he locked his pores, stopped his heart and sealed his blood qi in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, he closed his eyes.

That way, he would not be noticed by the otherworldly squad leader not far away from the glint in his eyes.

Those otherworldly soldiers were not alive after all and did not possess the five senses – they merely existed relying on their familiarity with the place as well as their remnant consciousness.

The eyes of the otherworldly squad leader shone with a demonic red glint and lingered for a long time at Su Zimo’s area. When he didn’t notice anything unusual, he turned back and led his squad to continue patrolling.

After the otherworldly soldiers left, Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief and darted out from behind the fake mountain.

Given his current strength, he did not have to fear those otherworldly soldiers.

However, if he were to engage in a battle with them, otherworldly soldiers from other parts of the palace would definitely be attracted over by the commotion!

A mere patrolling squad had more than a thousand troops.

In that case, an army of this palace would definitely range in the millions!

That was a massive number!

If those otherworldly soldiers were to charge over endlessly, Su Zimo would be embroiled in a tough battle.

If there was any unstoppable existence within the otherworldly soldiers, he would definitely be in danger!

However, with his Inner Core condensed, Su Zimo possessed the power of universal hearing and would dodge any patrolling otherworldly soldiers.

For anyone else, this palace was a treacherous place with dangers lurking everywhere.

However, it wasn’t anything much for Su Zimo.

Gradually, he entered the depths of the palace.

With so many otherworldly soldiers gathered in this palace preventing ordinary Golden Cores from entering the depths, there was a high chance that great treasures could be hidden within.

As he continued advancing, Su Zimo gradually noticed something amiss.

Something seemed to have happened within the palace.

There were otherworldly troops converging towards the North endlessly!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of galloping was like thunder as the ground quaked. In Su Zimo’s vision, there were even thousands of mounted riders charging towards the North with a furious killing intent and a dark aura.

There’s other intruders that alerted the otherworldly soldiers!

Su Zimo deduced almost instantly.

The sound of killing, shouts and horses galloping were mixed over that side.

The murderous echoes shook the heavens!

Unless they had extraordinary means, they would have to pray to survive against the encirclement of so many otherworldly soldiers.

Su Zimo did not have the energy to go save anyone he did not know about. Just as he was about to change directions and head the other way, he exclaimed softly with a startled expression.

“Not good!”

His ears twitched for a little and he was alarmed, rushing towards the North without hesitation.
