High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

In fact, Ouyang Xun's final act was to sacrifice himself to resurrect Dark Ruins.

However, the Dark Ruins resurrected using this method are not as powerful as the real Dark Ruins.

According to the secret methods of the Beast Master lineage, the black mud inside the cave is actually the remains of the Dark Ruins. Dark beasts can be generated from the remains of the Dark Ruins, and then the dark beasts are devoured by the black mud.

As long as enough Dark Beasts are consumed, Dark Ruins can be resurrected in a special way.

However, Ouyang Xun clearly did not have enough time to complete this process, so he could only commit suicide and sacrifice himself.

Although it wasn't a complete resurrection of the Dark Ruins, it was still extremely terrifying. Dark beasts were already difficult to deal with, and only divine souls could kill them.

The Dark Ruins are even more powerful, as they are immune to most of the power of the divine soul.

Throughout the entire history of the new calendar, only Marshal Chen Han, who surpassed the realm of Martial God, was able to eliminate a large number of Dark Ruins.

"run!"

Without hesitation, Li Mo shouted, "Faced with such a natural disaster, they have no power to resist and can only flee as quickly as possible!"

The group immediately fled in a frantic rush, causing the entire mountain to shake violently and making it difficult for anyone to stand.

"Waaaaah~"

For some reason, a chilling scream, similar to the cry of a baby, came from all directions, sending shivers down one's spine.

The textbooks record that this is a special sound that can only be emitted by the Dark Ruins.

It was only at this moment that Li Mo realized that Ouyang Xun's final action was to revive Dark Ruins.

As they ran, the mountain collapsed, but fortunately they were all fast enough to avoid being buried by the landslide.

After a while, they finally ran out of the cave.

He thought he was safe now, but when Li Mo looked back, he saw a scene he would never forget.

The entire mountain behind them had turned into a pitch-black mass, and this darkness continued to expand outwards, obliterating almost everything that could be called matter.

The sky and earth were dark, the wind and clouds changed color, and everything seemed like the end of the world.

At this moment, almost everyone in the Sumeru Secret Realm was drawn to this pitch-black mass and unconsciously looked over.

"Holy crap! What is that thing? What happened?"

"Something's not right! Something's really wrong! Nothing like this has ever happened in the secret realm before!"

……

Even the few martial gods who maintained the stability of the secret realm at this time could sense the instability of the secret realm.

"That's... the Dark Ruins? The Dark Ruins have reappeared? How is that possible!"

"No way, Marshal Chen Han has basically wiped out the Dark Ruins on Earth! How could they possibly be in the Sumeru Secret Realm?"

Even these martial gods, who represent the highest combat power, looked at Dark Ruins with fear.

Fortunately, Qin Ming remained relatively calm and immediately said in a deep voice, "The question we should be asking now is not how the Dark Ruins appeared, but how to rescue those young people from the secret realm!"

Qin Ming hadn't forgotten that his great-grandson, Qin Zhengnan, was still inside the secret realm. If anything happened to him, his Qin family line would be wiped out.

"We're probably helpless against those people in the secret realm now! Not only can we not interfere with what happens within it, but even if we could get in, who could possibly be a match for the Dark Ruins?"

"Yes! Entering the secret realm consumes a great deal of the divine soul for a Martial God. At least ten Martial Gods are needed to allow one Martial God to enter the secret realm to intervene!"

From the conversation among these people, it can be seen that it is not entirely impossible for a Martial God to enter the secret realm, but a sufficient number of Martial Gods are needed to maintain the stability of the secret realm in order to support the entry of a single Martial God.

Currently, there are only five martial gods who can maintain a stable spatial connection.

Furthermore, these martial gods weren't worried about the people within the secret realm; they were simply afraid!

As the saying goes, the older you get, the more afraid you become of death!

The path of cultivation is originally for the purpose of achieving longevity. These old martial gods are all basically over 150 years old. Who wouldn't want to live longer!

"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to abandon this Sumeru Secret Realm! We can use its spatial power to trap the Dark Ruins, otherwise the whole world will suffer!"

Forget about saving people, several martial gods even considered running away.

More than rescuing people, they were relieved that Dark Ruins was trapped in the secret realm.

Upon seeing this, Qin Ming immediately began to curse: "A bunch of cowards! You dare to cultivate to become Martial Gods?! Is cultivation only for yourselves?"

"With great power comes great responsibility! Without the resources provided by the nation, how many of you could have cultivated into Martial Gods? Now, at this critical moment, you dare to stand by and watch these young people perish? You are truly unworthy of the name Martial God!"

Qin Ming's few words were so scathing that the other martial gods didn't dare to raise their heads.

Even if they wanted to help, they don't have the numbers to do so.

With no other option, Qin Ming immediately returned to Great Xia after stabilizing the morale of his troops.

"I'm going back inland to get reinforcements. You absolutely must stay here and hold out! Don't leave!"

Qin Ming's great-grandson, Qin Zhengnan, was currently in the secret realm. Since Qin Ming was willing to let his great-grandson leave temporarily, the other martial gods couldn't say anything and could only agree.

Logically, Qin Ming's round trip shouldn't have taken long. The Martial God's speed is extremely fast, and the time flow in the secret realm is different from that in the outside world, so it wouldn't be long before Qin Ming was able to bring reinforcements over.

However, the Dark Ruins devoured them even faster. Li Mo and the others were still trying their best to escape, but the darkness was already right behind them.

In the blink of an eye, half of the Sumeru Secret Realm had been swallowed up by the resurrected Dark Ruins.

In the beginning, the Dark Ruins was only the size of a mountain, but now it has become a towering behemoth, covering an area of ​​more than 100 kilometers!

Looking at the overwhelming darkness, everyone in the secret realm felt a sense of despair.

"Heaven has forsaken me! Heaven has forsaken me!"

"Damn it! I'm really going to die this time! Move your dead legs already..."

"What's the point of running anymore? The secret realm is only so big; it'll be swallowed up by the Dark Ruins sooner or later!"

……

Seeing this scene, Li Mo finally understood how the people of Great Xia felt when the Dark Ruins descended upon the land hundreds of years ago.

Now I finally understand why Commander Yue wiped out the entire lineage of Beast Masters and eradicated them completely.

This is truly a world-destroying object, an invincible object.

Forget about researching it, you can't even touch it!

They ran for an unknown amount of time without stopping, but the endless darkness seemed to be chasing them, relentlessly pursuing them.

If you stop, you will surely die!

During his escape, Li Mo also saw some people being swallowed up by the Dark Void, a true disappearance, leaving not even a single cell behind!

Despair spread, but just when Li Mo himself was about to give up, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky.

A man appeared in the golden light. He was handsome and had a calm look in his eyes. Incredibly, the Dark Ruins, which was invincible and could sweep away everything in its path, actually stopped when it came into contact with this man!

Even though the man stepped on the darkness of the Dark Ruins, he was completely unharmed!
