Chapter 298 Entering the Heavenly Ruins Dojo! (Seeking monthly votes!)

"Pfft-"

With a sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, an eight-legged monster was cleaved in two by Lu Wen's sword. Foul-smelling, viscous blood gushed out, soaking Lu Wen from head to toe, making him look extremely ferocious.

In the past, Lu Wen might have been able to dodge slightly, but now he had no energy to even consider it.

Because there are just far too many monsters like that.

Even a brief respite could allow the monster to break free and charge towards Helmod and Udyr, who are weaker in close combat.

With a flurry of slashes from his twin swords, one eight-legged monster after another turned to ashes under Lu Wen's blade. He suddenly shouted, "How many more are there?"

"There's probably about half left!" came Yu Zhun's voice from the other side.

Also a melee class, he didn't look much better than Lu Wen at this moment, covered in blood, constantly killing monsters.

"Damn it, why are there still so many?" Lu Wen couldn't help but curse, swinging his sword even faster.

In the center, which the two were guarding, Helmod and Udyr were not idle either. Every time they attacked, they would clear out a group of monsters, which greatly reduced the burden on Yu Zhun and Lu Wen. However, every time they cleared out a group of monsters, a continuous stream of new monsters would swarm in.

As the situation for the four people became increasingly difficult, a shrill scream suddenly rang out in the space. The next moment, all the monsters stopped moving and then quietly turned into ashes and disappeared.

This is…

The four men, including Yu Zhun, stopped their attack.

Seeing this unexpected scene, Yu Zhun and Lu Wen, who had experienced it once before, were the first to react.

"It was Yu Zhu who reinforced the seal!"

"It worked..." Helmod couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Udyr, who was standing to the side, finally smiled.

Yu Zhu's intervention not only means that this secret realm can be easily destroyed, but also that Yu Zhu is right beside them at this moment!

Destroy this secret realm, and they will be able to see each other!
"The core of the secret realm should be over there!" Yu Zhun pointed to the only lake in this secret realm, and the other three followed closely behind, quickening their pace to rush towards the small island in the center of the lake.

Inside the island's only palace, they saw the Heart of the Secret Realm awaiting destruction, along with three Wish Gems floating in the air.

"Not bad, there are actually three gems." Yu Zhun smiled as he put away the gems, then slowly raised the dagger in his hand.

"Click——"

With a sound of the Heart of the Secret Realm shattering, Yu Zhu appeared in front of Yu Zhun and the others.

"Hello, long time no see!"

Seeing Yu Zhu's carefree attitude, Yu Zhun and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Before they could say anything, the four of them grabbed Yu Zhu's shoulders and disappeared from the spot in the next instant.

After a dizzying moment, the five found themselves in a new city.

"I didn't expect you all to come together." Yu Zhu crossed his arms. "Let me tell you, I've entered an incredible place."

"It's very likely that countless powerful beings are sealed there, just like those we sealed in the secret island realm before."

"I know." Yu Zhun patted Yu Zhu's head with a wry smile, and then recounted their experiences in detail.

After hearing this, Yu Zhu's mouth was agape in an "o" shape.

She thought it was because of her special talent that she accidentally entered that unknown world. Who knew that all five of them went in, and she was the last one to come out!
In addition, the appearance of Tianxu Dojo and God 1 also surprised Yu Zhu, who felt that he had missed a lot of things.

"Damn it!" Yu Zhu couldn't help but stomp his foot. "If I had known, I wouldn't have done that job. I should have come out earlier."

"Stirring something up?" Yu Zhun blinked, a sudden sense of foreboding washing over him. "What did you do?"

"No, I didn't do anything." Yu Zhu's eyes were somewhat unfocused. "I just slaughtered some cities and interrupted the sealing rituals of some powerful individuals."

Yu Zhun and the other three fell silent at the same time.

The next instant, Lu Wen suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

"In the short time we've been in the secret realm, the number of entrances to the secret realm near New Leaf City has increased from three to seven!"

So fast? !

Yu Zhun and the others gasped and stared intently at Yu Zhu.

They didn't know why so many secret realms had appeared in such a short time, and why they all appeared near the same city.

Now, they seem to understand.

So Yu Zhu did all of this!
"Let's go! Back to Xinye City right now!" Yu Zhun threw out the Water Sky Boat and pulled the others along as they sped off.

After leaving the secret realm, they were randomly teleported to a new location. It was an hour later when they returned to New Leaf City.

Upon arriving in New Leaf City, a familiar figure appeared before them.

It was none other than Si Huang, the vice leader of the Canghuang Sect, with whom they had just reached a cooperation agreement.

"You guys are moving way too fast." Si Huang smiled helplessly. "I just arrived and heard that you destroyed a secret realm."

"And..." Noticing Yu Zhu's unfamiliar face, Si Huang smiled slightly, "Congratulations on joining another teammate."

“I think Vice Leader Si is waiting for us here, probably for other matters.” Yu Zhun looked at Si Huang thoughtfully.

The other party blocked their way, clearly having scouted their movements beforehand.

“Of course there’s something to do.” Si Huang took out a small pagoda, about the size of a palm, and handed it to Yu Zhun and the other four. “You can borrow this.”

"What is this?" Yu Zhun took the small tower, his curiosity piqued.

“The Vow Power Item [Tower of Oath],” Si Huang explained with a smile. “Its function is simple: by injecting a certain amount of vow power, it can leave a mark in the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm.”

"When you enter the secret realm with the [Tower of Oath], you will be teleported to the marked location when the secret realm is destroyed and you are randomly teleported away."

Upon hearing the purpose of this prop, Yu Zhun and the other four's eyes lit up.

If nothing unexpected happens, the secret realms created by Yu Zhu will appear near Xinye City. After they destroy a city, they will be randomly teleported to any location in the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm.

This meant that they had to rush back every time, which was very troublesome.

With the Tower of Oath, you only need to leave a mark in Newleaf City to ensure you return to Newleaf City every time!

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you." Yu Zhun nodded with a smile. "Let's continue to the next entrance to the secret realm."

After saying that, Yu Zhun led the other four people to rush to the next secret realm.

After leaving a mark, the five of them entered the entrance to the secret realm together.

With Yu Zhu joining the team, the efficiency of clearing monsters was significantly improved. Although there were no teammates to provide support in the reflection world of Tianxu Dojo this time, the five of them managed to wipe out the monster horde.

Soon, they successfully destroyed the second secret realm.

Teleported back to the location marked on the Tower of Oath, Yu Zhun and the other two were about to continue to the third secret realm when Lu Wen exclaimed in surprise again.

"Holy crap, eleven secret realms have appeared in New Leaf City already!" How many?

Eleven?!

Are these secret realms appearing faster than they're being destroyed?

Yu Zhun and the others all turned to look at Yu Zhu. After a moment of silence, Yu Zhun finally couldn't help but ask, "How many...did you open?"

Yu Zhu thought for a moment, then spoke with some uncertainty.

"Maybe... there are more than a hundred?"

More than a hundred!
Yu Zhun fell silent instantly.

He silently did the math in his mind: a secret realm that seals away powerful beings can bring an average of about 50 units of total willpower.

So these more than one hundred suddenly appearing secret realms correspond to fifty to sixty million wishes!
After this wave, the power of vows to enter the Heavenly Ruins Dojo is sufficient.

Moreover, items like Wish Gems are more likely to appear in secret realms that seal away powerful beings.

With so many secret realms, there's enough to collect everyone's wish gems!
The other three, who also realized this, gasped in shock. While they were still considering how to enter the Heavenly Ruins Dojo, Yu Zhu quietly pulled off a major operation, gathering everything needed for entry!

"You did a fantastic job."

Yu Zhun gave Yu Zhu a thumbs-up and then looked at the other three, "Are you prepared to spend the rest of your time in the secret realm?"
-
"Om-"

With a deep hum, a small tower-shaped mark lit up rapidly in the void, and five figures appeared amidst the distortion.

It was none other than Yu Zhun and his four companions who had returned from destroying the secret realm.

At this moment, all five of them looked exhausted, but their eyes shone brightly.

"This is the 126th secret realm we've destroyed," Lu Wen chuckled as he reported. "Since we destroyed the 78th secret realm, the number of secret realms hasn't increased."

"This wave of densely packed secret realms has finally come to an end."

Upon hearing this, the other four also smiled.

At this moment, each of them has more than ten million wish power. Even after deducting the entrance fee to the Heavenly Ruins Dojo, the remaining wish power can be exchanged for God and Demon Medals, enough for them to obtain one or two hundred mythological fragments.

Of course, Yu Zhun and his five companions could not be satisfied with such a number.

After all, they can get more.

"Clap clap~"

A round of applause drifted from afar, and Si Huang, who had been waiting for a long time, walked step by step toward Yu Zhun and the other four, a bright smile on her face.

"Friends from the Palace of Gods and Demons, your efficiency has once again surprised me."

With so many secret realms opening in such a short period of time, any force of the Heavenly Ruins God Clan would inevitably suffer heavy losses if they were to intervene, and even the three major sects would be no exception.

There's even a possibility that one or two might slip through the net, as the destruction of the secret realm failed, ultimately allowing powerful individuals to break the seal and leave the realm.

However, Yu Zhun and his four companions destroyed them all with astonishing speed, without suffering any casualties in the process.

This gave Si Huang a deeper understanding of the five people's strength.

By cooperating with them, the influence of the Canghuang Sect among the Tianxu God Clan will only become stronger, and the previously envisioned plan to completely separate the Tianxu God Clan from the [Tianxu Sacred Realm] and make them independent seems to have become more feasible.

"This is a list that my Canghuang Sect compiled after testing the waters with other forces during this period." Si Huang handed the long list to Yu Zhun. "The sects on the list are all enemies of the Canghuang Sect."

"I heard that you have also established a sect in the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Realm." Si Huang looked at Yu Zhun and the other four, pausing slightly as she spoke.

“After you destroy the sects on the list, your sect can also absorb some of the indigenous people.”

Upon hearing the other party bring up the matter, Yu Zhun smiled and nodded.

At this moment, the core followers of the Dragon King Goddess Cult have been dispersed to every corner of the Heavenly Ruins Holy Realm. The purpose of this is to ensure that they can know the news of the opening of the secret realm entrance as soon as possible, so as not to miss their teammates in another world.

Now that the five have reunited, there is no longer any need to disperse the followers of the Dragon King Goddess Cult.

It was time to bring them together again, transforming them into a new force that the five of them could wield, and then gradually expand from there.

For Helmod, the only one of the five to belong to a pantheon, the more followers he has, the more power of wishes he can obtain.

For Yu Zhun and the other three who chose the demonic path, Yu Zhu's previous experiences could be replicated.

Believers can also draw power from the killings they inflict on others.

Therefore, for any one of the five, the Dragon King Goddess Cult is the top priority going forward.

After bidding farewell to Si Huang, Yu Zhun and his group of five boarded the water-to-sky boat and quickly left Xinye City.

Several days later, the followers of the Dragon King Goddess Cult reunited in a city, and a massacre that shook the entire Heavenly Ruins Holy Realm swept across the land.

Under the guise of "punishing evil spirits," the Dragon King Goddess Cult, with the combined efforts of Yu Zhu and Yu Zhun, successively wiped out dozens of small and medium-sized sects and took in a large number of displaced believers. After their strength was greatly expanded, they set their sights on the Cloud God Cult, one of the three major sects.

In just one month, the Cloud Cult was destroyed by the combined forces of the Dragon King Goddess Cult and the Canghuang Cult, which secretly supported it. The Cloud City, which was high in the sky, also collapsed completely and became a ruin.

Following the Cloud God Sect, the next sect to follow in its footsteps was another of the three major sects, the Illusionary Sea Sect.

Faced with the Dragon King Goddess Sect and the Azure Yellow Sect, which had absorbed the remnants of the Cloud God Sect, the Illusionary Sea Sect, which was already weaker than the Cloud God Sect, only lasted for half a month before being completely wiped out and becoming history.

When only the Canghuang Sect remained dominant among the three major sects, the various sects in the Tianxu Sacred Realm were also largely eliminated.

Yu Zhun and others also reaped immense rewards in this process.

Yu Zhun, who has the most wish power among the five, now has more than 30 million wish power. Hermod, who has the fewest wish power among the five because of his choice of pantheon, still has a full 20 million wish power.

This wave can definitely be described as a huge harvest.

In the main city occupied by the core forces of the Dragon King Goddess Cult, Yu Zhun and his group of five finished tallying their respective gains and exchanged glances.

"Next, we should also enter the Heavenly Ruins Dojo."

Upon hearing Yu Zhun's words, the other four people simultaneously became serious.

Since that first appearance, God1 has never shown up again, and even now they are unsure whether the other party is still around.

According to the other party, the five of them were destined not to gain any benefits from the Heavenly Ruins Dojo; they could only go in and take a look.

As a reward, God1 will open the God and Demon Shop for them in the third-tier stage, allowing them to exchange for an unlimited number of Mythical Fragments and other precious items that can only be exchanged in the third tier.

"Let's get started without delay." Yu Zhun took a deep breath, holding seven wish gems in one hand and a card in the other.

Item: [Dungeon Forced Exit Card]

The other four followed suit, and their wish gems lit up one by one.

When all seven wish gems lit up at the same time, they turned into dust and scattered on the ground. The five people had disappeared from the spot.
