Chapter 1225: The Ruin Opens
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The 100 participants walked out of the dimensional gateway. What they saw before their eyes was a space covered in alpine white ice.
The spherical ice shield was like a giant ice planet hovering mid air.
Lin Huang finally confirmed upon seeing the scenery before him, ‘It really is Qi Muxiong’s ruin!”
Although most of the information that he had found before stated that this ruin, Miracle, was the one Qi Muxiong had left behind, and he had even seen the photos and video recordings, he was completely relieved after confirming the coordinates when he arrived at that very moment.
Although many among the 100 participants had been to this ruin, it was the first time for a minority of them to be here. They were astonished when they saw the gigantic ice shield.
It was the Spider Queen’s first time being there.
“What a massive shield!” she exclaimed while approaching Lin Huang as if there was a magnet pulling her closer.
Lin Huang was about to dodge, but the Spider Queen extended her front claw and held on his front leg. It was so natural as if she had done it countless of times before.
‘What does the size of the shield have anything to do with you holding onto my leg?’ Lin Huang thought to himself. However, he remained calm on the surface and said nothing.
He knew his current situation very well. If he messed up his relationship with this Spider Queen, a conflict might explode as a consequence. From the Thousand-Legged Centipede’s memory, he knew that this Spider Queen had a hot temper. As soon as he messed up their relationship, there might be a high possibility that she might throw a fit on the spot. By then, it would definitely catch the attention of the rest of the participants and even the Dragon Sovereign.
If the Dragon Sovereign was upset and kicked him out of the ruin, it would mean trouble. Nonetheless, he could only tolerate the Spider Queen’s flirting temporarily.
The Dragon Sovereign was sent in not long after the 100 participants entered.
After seeing the Dragon Sovereign’s appearance, Lin Huang seized the opportunity to get the Spider Queen off him.
The Spider Queen held her head down as soon as she saw the Dragon Sovereign. She dared not fool around, but her 12 eyes were still staring at Lin Huang, who was not far away, in sadness.
The Dragon Sovereign glanced at the participants again. Realizing that all 100 of them were there and nobody was stuck in any technical difficulties, he then turned around to look at the ice shield that he had set up.
He hovered slowly to the shield and scratched a point on the shield by extending a claw. In the next second, circles of waves rippled on the ice shield like it was the surface of water.
As the invisible waves spread out, the ice shield melted at a high speed. It seemed to have turned into a liquid but was still white in color.
It was Lin Huang’s first time seeing ice flowing like water and not melting.
Besides Lin Huang, the rest of the participants stared at the shield with all of their focus. They were watching the transformation of the shield without blinking.
However, there was one exception. The Spider Queen still had her eyes on Lin Huang who was not far away.
As the shield on the surface of the ruin turned into a flowing form, the transformation still went on. It shrunk slowly and turned into thick icy chains.
The chains were like the lines on a chessboard. They intertwined on the surface of the ruin, sealing the entire ruin within.
The people finally saw how the entire ruin looked like. It was a gigantic white light sphere like a star hanging in the sky.
Lin Huang was slightly stunned as he stared at the white sphere. There was no other reason than a part of Qi Muxiong’s memory playing in his head.
However, the information coming from the part of the memory shocked Lin Huang.
‘This ruin... is Qi Muxiong’s God Territory? But a God Territory is a product that stems from the Godhead in territory. Only a Virtual God who has a Godhead can form a God Territory. Qi Muxiong has God Territory, which means his actual combat strength isn’t demigod-level, but virtual god-level!’
Lin Huang thought everything made sense when he came to that conclusion. He thought it was a little strange why Qi Muxiong failed to elevate to Virtual God and stayed as a demigod with his ridiculous talent and abilities.
Now, it seemed like Qi Muxiong was a total virtual god-level powerhouse but due to some reason, he had disguised himself as a demigod.
However, Lin Huang could not help but frown when he saw the intertwining chains sealing the entire ruin completely.
The memory that Qi Muxiong had left behind suggested that it was best for the successor to take the God Territory away.
However, the Dragon Sovereign had found out about the God Territory and sealed it with the True God technique. In other words, taking the God Territory away became something that was impossible to fulfill.
The technique that Dragon Sovereign had used to seal the God Territory was an Ice Law. Such an elemental rule was also one of the rule powers. Therefore, only rule powers could be used to tackle it.
‘It seems like I can only enter the ruin and get Qi Muxiong’s Goldfinger. Whether I can take this God Territory away or not depends on the situation then.’
As Lin Huang was thinking of putting the God Territory matter aside, another transformation occurred in the ruin.
Nearby, the Dragon Sovereign’s eyes turned frosty white.
The thick icy chain on the surface of the ruin began flowing slowly. They looked like living gigantic ice boas swimming on the surface of a star.
A moment later, the God Territory that was initially sealed by the iced chains revealed a hexagon that had no icy chains covering it.
The eyes of the Dragon Sovereign, who was standing aside, faded back to black. He turned his head and said to the participants including Lin Huang slowly, “The entrance to the ruin has opened. The opening duration for this ruin will only be seven days. If any of you don’t make it out within seven days, you’ll have to stay for a year until the ruin opens again next year.
“There’s something that I have to clarify. None of those who didn’t make it out within seven days in the past were found dead, so decide carefully if you want to stay longer than seven days.
“Since everyone forgets about their experience in this ruin every time they come out, I’ve no idea exactly what is in this ruin. I can only speculate from the loot the participants brought out that there should be many giants in there. You guys should’ve learned about this before coming here, so I shan’t waste any more time.
“The ruin has opened. You may now enter!”
As the Dragon Sovereign roared his command, the 100 participants rushed into the hexagonal entrance like madmen.
Lin Huang followed behind the people as the last to go in. He only entered a few monsters after the Spider Queen on purpose to avoid her from tackling him again.
Never would he expect the Spider Queen’s 16 eyes not to have any blind spots at all. She noticed him being left behind, so she slowed down as well, allowing the monsters at the back to overtake her. Soon, she was standing on the same row as Lin Huang was. She did all she could to crawl horizontally to go closer to him.
Lin Huang thought of accelerating to get rid of the Spider Queen. However, he noticed the Dragon Sovereign watching him. He seemed to be noticing Lin Huang because of the Spider Queen’s actions. Feeling helpless, Lin Huang could only move forward at his initial speed, allowing the Spider Queen to approach him.
