Chapter 81, Leaving Fenglinhuoshan, Dual Missions, Reasons and the Fall of the City

Above the long river of magma.

Lin Ran abandoned the corpse of the magma creature and stood in the air, clenching her fist.

A pale red mist of blood rose from his body, and a powerful suction force erupted from the center of his collarbone, drawing in spiritual energy from all directions.

A crimson and gold glow appeared in both palms and gradually covered them.

The Gates of Rest and Wound are both open!

Lin Ran pushed her palms forward flat, seemingly lightly imprinting them on the shadowy figure.

boom!

The area where the shadowy figures were concentrated spread inwards to a radius of nearly ten meters, where they were all smashed into a bloody pulp.

With a mournful cry, the massive black shadow was sent flying backward, its spilled blood falling like a light rain, attracting a large number of lava creatures to fight over it.

Lin Ran opened her eyes, a bright silver light flashing in them.

A transparent spiritual blade sliced ​​through the sky, piercing the head of the dark figure and annihilating its spirit.

Boom~

The dark figure crashed into the lava river, sending up countless clumps of lava and sending some lava creatures flying.

Lin Ran lowered his hands, feeling awe at the power of the Eight Gates Formation.

Each time a gate is opened, it amplifies the power once. On the day all eight gates are opened, who knows how powerful it will be!

The shadowy figure quieted down, revealing its true form: a magma creature, but hundreds of times larger than an ordinary one.

Lin Ran glanced at the lava creatures fighting over the corpse and continued walking forward.

The direction we are heading is along the long river of lava, and the lava is flowing in this direction as well.

Lin Ran suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could the direction he chose be towards the depths of Fenglinshan?

Just in case, kill some lava creatures every now and then, and judge the direction based on their strength.

The good news is that the magma creatures are getting weaker and weaker, and according to normal speculation, his direction is indeed away from the wind, forest, and volcano.

About half an hour later.

At the end of the unchanging volcanic cluster, a splash of blue suddenly appeared.

Lin Ran perked up and immediately sped up.

After flying for another twenty minutes, we could clearly see the boundary between the wind, forest, fire, and mountain range and the outside world.

On one side of the boundary, volcanoes erupt, while on the other, the sky is cloudless and the grass is lush and green—two completely different worlds!

When near the boundary.

Lin Ran suddenly narrowed his eyes and locked onto several creatures at the foot of a volcano.

Fire Spirit Clan!

After a brief consideration, Lin Ran flew towards the Fire Spirit Clan.

Soon, the other side also noticed him and immediately became nervous, but not too nervous, because there was a third-tier fire spirit among them.

Lin Ran is currently equivalent to a second-tier player in the Battlefield of the Heavens.

Before long, the two sides met.

The third-tier Fire Spirit transformed into human form, as if wanting to say something.

Lin Ran's eyes flashed, and a dazzling array of ever-changing colors filled her vision.

In an instant, time in the world stopped for everyone except him.

Lin Ran used his mental power to launch a sudden slash, opening both the Rest Gate and the Wound Gate, and rushed forward abruptly.

In one second, all the fire spirits except for the third-tier ones had their cores shattered.

In one and a half seconds, the third-tier fire spirit was destroyed.

Two seconds later, time stop ends.

The bodies of the seven fire spirits exploded simultaneously, and crystals fell into Lin Ran's hands.

[Pupil Technique: Time, Experience +1]

Lin Ran touched her forehead; she hadn't consumed much spiritual energy.

The move of time consumes the "rules," depleting power on both sides, and then requires spiritual energy to replenish it.

Lin Ran then used the third-order crystals to replenish the energy. Two-thirds of the crystals disappeared, and the consumed [Rules of Time] were fully restored.

Lin Ran nodded in satisfaction and quickened her pace to leave Fenglinhuoshan.

Outside the barrier.

A cool breeze caressed my face; the air was filled with the spirits of wind, water, and all life forms.

Lin Ran took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

Looking around, one sees an endless grassland with some tall, unknown trees growing there, and the faint silhouettes of living creatures in the distance.

Having roughly determined the direction, Lin Ran set off forward.

He entered the secret realm not only to explore on his own, but also with the high-ranking members of the alliance and the mission from the human race's Heavenly Eye.

The Alliance's high command's mission is for the human race to build a fortress within this secret realm, in order to conquer it and ultimately turn it into their backyard.

The mission of the Human Race's Heavenly Eye is to find the area closest to the origin of this secret realm and leave its mark.

Then the Heavenly Dao of the Human Mother Realm can use this as a medium to devour the origin of the secret realm, thereby strengthening the Mother Realm and making its upper limit even higher.

Previously, the human race's mother realm had an upper limit of only the third tier. It only grew to its current level by devouring secret realms and relics along the way.

According to the standards of the Battlefield of the Heavens, the current human race's mother realm has a maximum capacity of over the ninth rank, which is a completely new realm.

If this secret realm were to be completely devoured, the Mother Realm would be able to support more extraordinary beings to break through to higher realms, and the overall strength of the human race would increase by at least 25%!

He will be able to act more recklessly when dealing with foreign races in the future!

These two mission objectives are not actually in conflict.

The secret realm belongs to the inheritance type. Generally speaking, the origin of this secret realm is placed together with the inheritance, and it is located in the center of the secret realm.

He didn't have the treasure map, so he doesn't know where the inheritance is for the time being.

However, the notes state that once the inheritance chooses a master, the entire secret realm will know about it.

Then the recipient of the inheritance will enter a deep slumber and remain so for a period of time.

This is the time for him to make his move.

As for the inheritance beyond the extraordinary, it is very attractive to other cultivators.

However, every first planner operates under an unspoken rule.

There is a chance to find a human superhuman and receive their inheritance.

The opportunities we are born with are only slightly less than those we inherit.

The current human realm is not yet capable of supporting a fifth transcendent being.

In conclusion, inheritance is not very attractive to the first option.

They valued the rewards for assisting the human race's mother world in devouring the secret realm, which was a much larger world origin!

Lin Ran flew for a while and casually destroyed several monsters that tried to ambush him.

Beasts that sense a presence and launch a sneak attack are directly labeled as demonic beasts.

Only animals that can be friendly and communicate with each other are called spirit beasts.

More than two hours later.

A city suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback. He summoned a wisp of wind spirit energy to conceal himself, then covered himself with a layer of dark spirit energy. Finally, he activated his dragon scale armor before continuing to approach the city.

Soon, the city came into view.

From afar it looks like a city, but up close it's a completely dilapidated ruin, with only some remnants of the city walls remaining.

Lin Ran's eyes shone brightly, but she did not detect any special spiritual energy patterns.

There were no signs of any formations or similar structures in the city, so I went inside to observe.

Upon entering the long street, one sees many humanoid skeletons lying on the ground, their clothing mostly corroded.

Judging from the direction in which they fell, something must have happened in the city center that caused these creatures to try to escape the city, but they were killed by an unknown force on the way.

Lin Ran touched a skeleton, and the skeleton turned into a pile of fragments, the time of which was unknown.

After observing several skeletons, Lin Ran suddenly took a step back and disappeared into the shadows.

A few seconds later.

A spirit creature walked into the alley.

Where are they?
