Chapter 589: The Badly Damaged Pagoda



Chapter 589: The Badly Damaged Pagoda

Different from the outer part of the ancient city ruins, the core part of the ancient city ruins had seen far less destruction, as most of the houses and other buildings present in there were mostly still intact to some degree.

Sneaking his way through the many still standing buildings, Chu Yang could not help feeling that it was rather lucky for him that most of the buildings at the core part of the ancient city were still standing. After all, they ended up providing him with great cover from any of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts roaming around the place.

Other than this, the fact that most of the buildings were mostly intact also allowed him to truly get an idea of just how beautiful the ancient city had been in the past before getting destroyed before getting forgotten in the long river of time.

Even if he had no idea about the origin of many of the materials used in the buildings, Chu Yang still understood that it should be made up of something extremely durable to be able to last for however long the ancient city buildings had.

This was especially so considering the Core Formation Realm demon beasts living inside the core part of the city fighting with each other every now and then-

BOOM!

Hearing a large explosion just as he thought about this, Chu Yang could not help hiding away inside a nearby buildings as he observed through the windows of the building how two large demon beasts in the early stages of the Core Formation Realm clashed with each other not too far away from his current location.

The surprising part about their clash, was the fact that the buildings around them were almost completely unharmed by the power of the two Core Formation Realm demon beast.

Bang!

One of the demon beasts even smashed directly into a small pagoda, where instead of destroying the small pagoda like Chu Yang had expected to happen, the demon beast instead smashed into it without harming the pagoda in the slightest-

ROOOOAR!

On the contrary, the sharp sides of the small pagoda’s roof pierced through the thick layer of scales on the demon beast’s body. Instantly causing it to roar out in pain before freeing itself from the pagoda and escaping into the distance before its opponent had time to catch up to it.

From this alone, Chu Yang understood just how durable the buildings were… Not even an early stage Core Formation Realm demon beast had the power to destroy the buildings in the core part of the ancient city! It was no wonder that the ancient city could still stand to some degree after it had been destroyed in the past.

“I should get going…” Waiting for a few minutes until the two demon beasts fighting each other were completely gone, Chu Yang continued making his way towards the centre of the ancient city ruins. Unaware of what he might find when he finally made it. Hoping that it would be something similar to the transparent stones that could help increase his cultivation realm.

Ancient qi techniques or spear techniques that he could use to increase his strength was also something he would not mind getting his hands on if the opportunity was there. Not that he expected for any to still be present after the Explorer Union had cleaned up the place in the past…

At least from the fact that the transparent stones that could help increase his cultivation realm were still present together with the demon beasts made Chu Yang believe that the Explorer Union had no ended up getting everything when they explored the ancient city ruins in the past!

Swoosh~!

Continuing closer to the core of the ancient city ruins with a clear goal in mind, Chu Yang didn’t notice that the golden core inside his dantian had slowly begun acting strangely the closer he got to the centre of the ancient city ruins, as there was now also a hint of purple around the edge of his bright red golden core!

Not only did hints of purple suddenly appear around the edges of his bright red golden core, but a weird energy similar to the energy he had absorbed from the transparent stones also began slowly being expelled from the purple spots on his golden core as the energy slowly began filling up his dantian.

Although this would have been easy to discover under normal circumstances, Chu Yang seemed completely unaware of the chance taking place inside his dantian as he just continued moving towards the centre of the ancient city ruins without the slightest idea over just how dangerous his situation was getting.

This was not only because his dantian was filling up with some sort of foreign energy that could very well harm him, but mainly because the foreign energy filling up his dantian was slowly replacing his normal qi.

If he fought and began using his qi on a large scale, he would easily discover this change taking place inside his body. Sadly, for Chu Yang, he was currently busy trying his best to not enter a fight, as he even limited the amount of qi used to move around in fear that any of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts roaming around the core part of the ancient city ruins might spot him…

All things considered; Chu Yang had unknowingly entered an extremely dangerous situation that he himself was still not aware of… Well… He should have been more cautious when consuming random stone that just so happens to easily increase his cultivation realm. After all, there was no way one would be able to improve so rapidly without any negative effects!

“This should be the core of the ancient city…” Muttering this to himself as he arrived in front of a massive crater, Chu Yang could not help feeling shocked, as the centre of the ancient city ruins was nothing more than a giant hole in the ground.

Even seeing the hole that had slowly been covered in all sorts of plants over the years, Chu Yang could easily imagine that it should have been created by some sort of devastating attack by a powerful ancient cultivator.

The attack had created the massive crater in the ground and at the same time erased the centre of the ancient city!

Just from a glance, Chu Yang roughly estimated that the diameter of the massive crate was at least 10 or so miles!

Such a massive crater, just how powerful had the person attacking the ancient city in the past been? The Domain Lord Realm? Maybe even stronger than that?

Feeling both horrified and amazed at the same time as he saw the massive crater, Chu Yang could not help feeling that he was still way too weak when compared to experts strong  enough to create  such a massive crater… That was not mentioning that the ancient city would not have gone down without a fight.

The crater in the ground was mostly likely just created by the power that had been left after destroying the protective formation of the ancient city and the experts present inside!

This thought alone made Chu Yang shiver, as he had a feeling that the person behind the destruction of the ancient city ruins should be someone far above his current understanding.

Even if he wanted to say that it was a Domain Lord who had done it, Chu Yang still didn’t properly have a grasp over just how powerful someone in the Domain Lord Realm was, let alone having an idea over how strong someone above the Domain Lord Realm was…

“Hm? Something is still intact at the bottom of the crater…?” Feeling amazed as he muttered these words to himself, Chu Yang focused his full attention on a badly damaged pagoda located at the centre of the crater.

Even from the fact that the pagoda was still standing, Chu Yang could guess that it was made up of some sort of godly materials. The only question left on his mind, was whether or not there was anything left inside the pagoda.

After all, given that the Explorer Union had already been to the ancient city ruins in the past and had combed through the area for any treasures, Chu Yang was not too confident that there would be anything valuable left inside of the pagoda located at the bottom of the massive crater.

If he had seen it and could guess how valuable it was, so could the explorers from the Explorer Union… With that in mind, there was no reason why there would be anything valuable left inside the pagoda at the bottom of the massive crater…

However, Chu Yang still felt hopeful that the Explorer Union might have missed something-

Swish~

For this reason, Chu Yang slowly began making his way down towards the badly damaged pagoda located at the centre of the massive crater.
