Chapter 798 - Two Caves, Three Sects, Four Cities, and Five Mansions
In a vast wasteland, a figure suddenly appeared with a flash of light.
It was Su Mo.
As soon as he landed, Su Mo’s eyes quickly swept the surroundings, and he let out a sigh of relief when he did not discover any threat.
It was all empty. There were no living creatures here, just wild grasses and weird-shaped stones.
It seemed that the Waste Domain worked the same way as the other Planes. Everyone who entered was randomly sent to a different place.
Taking a deep breath, the smell of desolation and vastness made him feel like he had entered the realm of the ancient times.
“Squawk!”
The harsh screech of a bird caught his attention. He turned around and noticed a huge, weird bird whistling in the skyline.
This bird’s wingspan was at least 2,400 meters wide and it was all purple-black. The most horrible thing was that it had three terrifying heads.
Su Mo hurriedly hid his aura because he was afraid of being found by this bird, whose horrible aura indicated that it was at least a Lv 6 demonic beast and was special.
This kind of ancient rare species was quite formidable. The Demons could not compare with them at all.
The ancient species could not shift forms.
Normally, they would not shift forms, or to put it another way, they were unwilling to shift forms.
After a short while, Su Mo was relieved when he saw that the huge bird had gone far away.
Then, he exerted his Ghostly Magic Sight to look around further.
The Dark Stone could not be out here in the wild. Therefore, he had to find some ancient ruins.
He would do whatever he could to find the stone against all odds.
After exerting the Ghostly Magic Sight to the extreme, his visual field expanded by many times, allowing him to see everything clearly within 500 kilometers.
Subsequently, he found dozens of martial artists, some formidable ancient demonic beasts, and two ruins also.
However, the two city ruins had long been weathered into sand dunes. The stones could not be there!
He carefully scanned this area and found nothing useful.
He then quickly flew away at a low altitude.
The Ghostly Magic Sight Martial Soul was so helpful in many ways, just not for combat.
He still operated the Ghostly Magic Sight while flying, and avoided the formidable beasts and experts far away.
His strength was only moderate among the martial artists who entered the Waste Domain. He had to avoid those experts in case they wanted to rob and kill him.
Su Mo had already seen many experts fighting each other. In this kind of place, it was quite normal to kill passersby.
He ignored them and kept looking for the ancient ruins.
In a short time, he had advanced 500 kilometers, when a vast desert came into view.
“A desert!”
Su Mo frowned upon seeing this. “The ruins shouldn’t exist in a desert!”
Su Mo shook his head and was ready to turn around, when he noticed two martial artists fly straight into the desert.
Moreover, many scattered experts were also flying into the desert.
“Is there a ruin in the desert?”
Su Mo saw an elder who was flying there and quickly followed him.
Having entered the desert, the temperature began to rise rapidly. The farther he went, the higher the temperature surged.
When he had gone 500 kilometers into the desert, he felt like he was inside a burning furnace.
The space was even twisted in the high temperature, and the sand below him turned red.
The heatwaves were overwhelming and horrible.
“What kind of desert is this? It’s so hot!” Su Mo looked shocked.
He had already set the Body-protection Dark Force. Otherwise, the heatwaves might instantly burn his clothes.
Martial artists under the True Darkness Realm might not be able to survive here. The Body-protection Vital Spirit could not resist the heatwaves at all.
Su Mo was still following the elder. There had to be an ancient ruin in this place since many experts were coming here.
At this point, the elder seemed to have noticed Su Mo. He stopped and turned around.
Su Mo was not surprised that the elder had discovered him because he was not trying to hide.
Su Mo did not halt but went up to the elder.
The elder asked coldly, “Are you following me?”
The gray-robed elder was in his 60s and had an aquiline nose that made him look ruthless.
Also, he was at Lv 2 Martial King Realm!
That was why Su Mo had been following him unhidden.
Su Mo shook his head and saluted with both hands folded. “Senior, I’m just curious about what you and the other martial artists are after.”
“Really? Don’t you know?”
The elder narrowed his eyes and sized Su Mo up. An inexplicable hint of a smile flashed in his eyes when he found out that Su Mo was only at Lv 9 True Darkness Realm.
Su Mo said deeply, “I don’t. Please tell me!”
The elder paused for a while and said with a smile, “It seems like you don’t know about the Waste Domain. Then I’ll introduce it to you!”
“Many thanks!” Su Mo smiled and immediately gave him a fist-palm salute.
“The Waste Domain is extremely vast, thousands of hectares. There used to be countless ruins here, but most of them were looted by our ancestors. Only 10% of them are left now.
“There are now 14 popular ruins, which are called ‘two caves, three sects, four cities, and five mansions’.
“These ruins used to be the premises of formidable superpowers and had an abundance of numerous treasures. Meanwhile, they are also very dangerous. Nobody has ever completely explored any one of them in all these years.
“Even many Martial Royal Realm experts were killed there. Although they’re dangerous, people still obtain many treasures every year. As long as the Waste Domain is open, these 14 ruins are where people go to.”
The elder smiled and slowly continued, “The Sky-burn Mansion of the ‘five mansions’ is right in this desert.”
