Immortal Souls

Chapter 7: Ancient Ruins

The City of God

Surrounding it there is only chaos, rocks floating everywhere, plants living in a vacuum with darkness around. Below there is only a gap so deep that it does not know how deep the abyss is.

While in the sky, there was only one bright light that was a point of light there. As they were teleported to this place, Qin Chen drew his sword as fast as lightning preparing himself against the enemies who attacked them all of a sudden.

He saw the whole of this space so differently, as if they were in the belly of a Primordial Pope and the light up there was an artificial sun created from dense energy.

"Ha! I did not expect that I would enter into the belly of the Primordial Pope who had destroyed many cities and swallowed the ancient ruins where the ancient weapons were located. Moreover, how do you know that there are ancient weapons in this place, there's no way that you know about them because you just heard."

Xiao Yueyin froze, her disguise did not last long. "I am a disciple of the Immortal Sect, one of the four great Sects in this Continent. While how do I know, I got an ancient scroll containing information on the whereabouts of the ancient weapon, so I'm here to retrieve it."

"My original goal was the Purple Fire Lotus, since you took it I changed the new purpose of this treasure. I don't know the specifics of this information, but I do believe that there's an ancient weapon in this place."

He frowned, now getting involved with the Immortal Sect. "*Sigh! Thus, if I knew you were from the Immortal Sect, I would rather leave you in the forest and not join the search for ancient weapons, since it has come this far, then, I'll help you on one condition don't take me to the Sect's troubles when you return."

"Well, I can assure you of that. So, can you help me out this time, I will repay you someday when you need me."

"Well, where are we going now?"

"I don't know." The reply innocently did not know where else to go.

Qin Chen patted his forehead, he did not know what else to do, the person who took him did not know where to go now. "Follow me, I'm just following the instinct of the man who obtained many treasures inside these ruins."

Without a careful plan, and relying only on instinct and luck, the two of them entered into the ancient ruins. With Qin Chen's luck reaching its peak, he would always be lucky at such an unexpected time as he was now when he was lost.

The quiet room made their footsteps audible, and the sound of thousands of footsteps made Qin Chen stop the inward tracing and wait for a while in the middle of the room.

"Miss Yueyin, do you have a light? Before that, when a bad situation arrives, I'll directly carry you and get you out of here, understand."

Nodding a few times out of understanding, from inside his bag came out a crystal ball that provided illumination and a moment later dozens of red eyes on the ceiling of the room made them aware in a situation that was not right.

"As expected, there are a lot of cockroaches in this room." Qin Chen said slowly.

The roarrr!

A swushh! A swushh! A swushh!

They jumped up and down avoiding the attack from the ground element like an arrow, under his feet frozen as if contaminated by the ice element. "Damn! They're annoying element users!" Qin Chen gritted in annoyance as his footing froze like a pile of needles.

"Purple Fire Lotus, burn everything!"

He melted the pressure of the ground with the Purple Fire Lotus, now he could land on the ground looking at the monsters in the sky of the room. They were fire crested earth rats, possessing earth and fire element type powers, in the Xiantian realm (7).

"The Sky Thunder Sword!"

Djderr! Djderr! Djderr!

Destroying the ceiling of the room with a swing of his sword, Qin Chen did not have a Skill that could attack en masse, as all of his Skills attacking single-handedly made Qin Chen a little troubled there.

"Little Chen, I have an art that can attack them en masse, yet it requires a lot of spiritual energy to use."

"Don't you better tell me about the art so I can learn it, I'm busy cutting them off one by one! So hurry!"

Xiao Yueyin was puzzled, she followed Qin Chen's words and explained about the art she had now. That ability was given a name: Thousand Immortal Swords!

Qin Chen listened carefully as he swung his sword to and fro killing a bunch of monsters.

"Thousand Immortal Swords, slash!"

Swooshes! Swooshes! Swooshes!

There were surprisingly a thousand swords that floated and shot through the bodies of the fire-crested earth rat monsters in the Xiantian realm (7).

There were 41 dead fire-crested earth rat monsters and the rest were running away from Qin Chen's place.

[Up level!]

[Up level!]

Qin Chen smiled in satisfaction, he gained an increase in strength and leveled up twice in a single breath. 'A peerless genius like me is really great at leveling up.'

"How are you doing, Little Chen?"

"It's okay, then we will go deeper use lighting to open the visibility so that nothing like this happens again."

"Good."

They continued their journey to the inner ruins, in the middle of the ruins there was a room and at the end there was an entrance protected by monsters with shapes resembling pangolins with large human-like in general.

"The door there may be the entrance to the main treasure, but we have to face this monster. They had at least a count of 21, with a physique equivalent to Xiantian (10)."

"How's Little Chen? Did I help you?"

"No need, I already said before getting into the ruins, I will face the monsters that face us later."

Because Qin Chen did not want Exp to be wasted in his hands. Now, he was at the Xiantian realm (9) with strength equivalent to the Martial King realm (8-10) - a power that no ordinary brat would possess.

The iron sword in his hand, he stood covering his mouth with a mask. "Time to start!"

Wush!

With wind speed without leaving any shadow, Qin Chen swung his sword splitting the monsters before him with a single swing in each monster.

Using a thousand immortal swords required great energy, it would take care of Qin Chen's still meager energy. He will use it again when things get tough.

Until a few minutes later, he managed to level the monsters in the room quickly without leaving a single one that escaped from his sword. Surprise, and awe with Qin Chen's talent flowed in Xiao Yueyin's mind.
