Chapter 362: Entering the Holy Ruins, the Gate of the Holy Ruins is Opened
"We don't have time, we must crack the rune immediately, otherwise the Shadow Blade Ghost will overwhelm us!" Jin Buk said anxiously, his eyes revealing a trace of solemnity. His sword was already full of traces of battle, and his body was also stained with a few minor scars, obviously reaching his limit.
Lin Fan took a deep breath, tightly grasped the Qiankun Axe in his hand, and stared at the ancient stone door. Although there were endless shadow blade ghosts behind him, he knew that deciphering these runes was their only chance of survival. Lin Fan sensed that there was an ancient and powerful force hidden in the runes, guarding the entrance to the Holy Ruins. Only by deciphering them could they be qualified to pass.
"Zhong Ling'er, Jiang Shuiling, continue to resist the Shadow Blade Ghost. Jin Buke, help me break the rune." Lin Fan gave the order decisively, and the few people quickly divided the work. Zhong Ling'er and Jiang Shuiling immediately stood on both sides of the stone gate. Their spiritual power turned into a barrier, blocking the Shadow Blade Ghost's attack path, trying to delay time.
Lin Fan walked forward and stood in front of the stone door. He stretched out his hand and touched the runes on the door. At that moment, it was as if countless ancient voices whispered in his ears. The power of the runes poured into his body and resonated with his soul. The Chaos Tower vibrated slightly in his body, and the power in the tower operated automatically, as if trying to decipher the meaning of these runes.
"These runes are very complex, and the power behind them is far beyond our imagination." Lin Fan whispered, and the Qiankun Axe in his hand gradually became activated, emitting a faint light. The axe blade resonated with the runes, and the light seemed to be able to penetrate all illusions, gradually illuminating the entire valley.
"We must find the core of the rune." Jin Buk also stepped forward, his eyes scanning the runes on the stone door like a hawk, trying to find a way to crack it. Although he did not understand the mystery of the runes, he was able to determine which of these runes were the key points based on his years of combat experience.
While the two were trying their best to break the rune, Zhong Ling'er and Jiang Shuiling in the back had already started a life-and-death battle with the Shadow Blade Ghost.
The shadow blade ghosts paused in front of Zhong Ling'er's spell barrier, and then launched an attack at a faster speed. Their blades passed through the void, and every swing carried a deadly killing intent. Zhong Ling'er held the staff tightly with both hands, her expression solemn, and blue spiritual light was continuously released from her hands, forming a barrier. However, the blades of the shadow blade ghosts can cut the soul. Although Zhong Ling'er's barrier is powerful, under the continuous attacks, the light of the barrier gradually dimmed.
Jiang Shuiling was beside Zhong Ling'er, her bowstring as taut as a full moon. Her arrows turned into icy cold currents, and each arrow accurately shot at the head of the shadow blade ghost. No matter how fast the shadow blade ghost was, Jiang Shuiling never missed. Her archery skills were innate, with a certain cold killing intent, and it seemed to freeze the air every time she shot. However, the number of shadow blade ghosts was too large. Even though she and Zhong Ling'er had tried their best, they still appeared in an endless stream, as if they would never stop.
"Lin Fan, we can't hold on for much longer!" Zhong Ling'er clenched her teeth, with a hint of anxiety in her voice.
Hearing this, Lin Fan became more and more anxious. His palm touched the runes lightly, and his mind was working rapidly, trying to find clues to crack these runes in the Chaos Tower. At this moment, the Qiankun Axe suddenly burst into a more dazzling light, and the power on the axe blade and the runes produced a strong resonance. Lin Fan suddenly felt that the core of the rune had been activated by the Qiankun Axe.
"Found it!" Lin Fan's eyes flashed with joy. He quickly raised the Qiankun Axe above his head, and the energy on the axe blade quickly condensed, and slashed down towards the core of the rune.
"boom!"
As the axe blade of the Qiankun Axe fell, the runes on the stone door were instantly cut open. A golden light burst out from the runes, illuminating the entire valley. The light was like the rising sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness and covering the figure of the Shadow Blade Ghost.
The shadow blade ghosts screamed miserably, and their bodies quickly dissipated in the golden light, as if they had never existed. The entire valley returned to peace, with only the towering stone gate remaining, still standing there quietly.
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and the light of the Qiankun Axe gradually faded. He walked forward and pushed open the ancient stone door.
The scene inside the gate shocked everyone. Behind the stone gate was a vast space, filled with thick spiritual energy, as if the entire world was enveloped by this powerful force. In the distance, a huge palace stood between heaven and earth, with a golden light shining on the top of the palace. That was the core of the Holy Ruins.
And those densely packed shadow blade ghosts were wandering outside the gate of the Holy Ruins, not daring to go in!
“This is the Holy Ruins…” Lin Fan murmured in a low voice, his eyes filled with awe.
Zhong Ling'er, Jiang Shuiling and Jin Buke also stepped forward, their eyes full of shock. They finally succeeded in cracking the door to the Holy Ruins and entered this mysterious place that had been sealed for countless years. However, they knew in their hearts that the real challenge had just begun.
"Next, we must be more careful." Lin Fan said in a deep voice. He knew that the dangers in the Holy Ruins were far more than just these Shadow Blade Ghosts, and the road ahead was full of unknown challenges and trials. But no matter what, they had already embarked on this road and would never retreat easily.
