Chapter 223: The living

Su Nan left the ancient temple.

Since he was sure there was no danger outside, he didn’t need to continue using his foreknowledge in the temple.

The distance from the temple to the deep pit was too far, and continuing to use foreknowledge here would be a waste of his ability.

Knowing there was no danger, Su Nan moved quickly, and in just over ten minutes, he arrived near the deep pit he had seen in his foreknowledge. Only then did he continue to use his ability.

[You know, once you enter the deep pit, an unknown entity will pull your Divine Soul out, so you plan to directly use Across the Heavens Shift to reach the bottom of the pit.]

[Using Across the Heavens Shift, your avatar instantly arrives at a position three thousand meters inside the deep pit. To your surprise, you don’t directly arrive at the bottom but are caught in the process of falling.]

[You react swiftly, using Across the Heavens Shift again. However, you still haven’t reached the bottom of the pit. You don’t give up, continuing to use Across the Heavens Shift.]

[This time, you finally arrive at the bottom of the pit.]

[You see, at the bottom of the deep pit is an enormous underground space, surrounded by countless white bones. Each bone is incredibly large, and what makes your heart tremble is the presence of a giant monster lying here.]

[It is a monster a kilometer in length, resembling a gigantic crocodile. Its body seems like a stone but glimmers with metallic luster. Its pair of vertical pupils emit faint red light, appearing like two huge red lanterns in the darkness.] [Dozens of thick chains entangle the monster’s limbs, disappearing beneath the bones. The moment you see the monster, your strength freezes, making it difficult to exert your full power.]

[You don’t know that this is an Ancient Fierce Beast, which has existed for countless years. However, with the changes in Heaven and Earth since ancient times, although the beast has survived, it can no longer display its former power.]

[Before you can react, the terrifying beast slightly opens its mouth, and a powerful suction force pulls your Divine Soul, along with your avatar, towards it.]

[Your avatar enters the monster’s mouth, and you lose contact with it.]

“An Ancient Fierce Beast? A living Ancient Fierce Beast!”

Su Nan’s pupils contract, his face full of disbelief.

He had heard of Fierce Beasts before, but he never knew there were still living Fierce Beasts in this world, let alone one that had survived since ancient times!

Such a lifespan is simply terrifying.

“With such a terrifying existence there, wouldn’t anyone who enters the pit die?”

Although foreknowledge said that the Fierce Beast was no longer able to exert much of its former power, the strength it currently displayed was undoubtedly beyond his reach.

“The Fierce Beast is clearly trapped in the pit. Who could have trapped such a being here, and for what purpose?” Calming down, Su Nan wondered.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to begin using foreknowledge again.

His attention was focused on the Fierce Beast in his previous foreknowledge, and he hadn’t had time to observe what else was at the bottom of the pit. This time, he planned to examine the environment at the bottom of the pit.

[On the third use of Across the Heavens Shift, you arrive at the bottom of the deep pit, knowing that an Ancient Fierce Beast is here and that you will soon face an attack.]

[Your time is limited, so you don’t have time to think too much and immediately look around your surroundings.]

[You see that the size of the pit’s bottom is several times larger than the top. However, apart from the numerous bones piled up here, there is nothing else.] [Just as you’re about to continue your observation, a sudden great suction force arrives, pulling your Divine Soul, along with your avatar, towards it.]

[Your avatar enters the monster’s mouth, and you lose contact with it.] “There’s nothing? How can this be?” Su Nan frowns.

He had previously guessed that if Zhou Lingyin was in this ancient city, she would likely be at the bottom of the deep pit.

But now, there is only a trapped Fierce Beast at the bottom of the pit, which was unexpected.

“It seems Zhou Lingyin is in another place.”

His gaze turns to other directions in the ancient city.

At the moment, he is in the center of the ancient city. From just one glance, there are eight roads leading to his location, forming a “tK” character.

The road he came from is due west.

This means that the area he has explored is only one-eighth of the ancient city.

According to his foreknowledge, there are twelve temples and thirty-six ancient temples in the city. So far, he has only encountered four or five ancient temples, and not a single temple.

Perhaps Zhou Lingyin is now in an ancient temple or a temple somewhere in the city.

“No matter what, let’s explore the rest of the ancient city first.”

“A golden light and a halo appeared in the ancient city earlier. If it was a treasure, there should be traces.”

Su Nan decides to explore the ancient city first and, if possible, complete the task of exploring the ancient temples.

Of course, before that, he needs to release the Great Princess to help him defeat the Offering God Demons.

“This is the ancient city?”

As soon as the Great Princess leaves the Cosmic Ring, she immediately observes her surroundings.

“Yes.” Su Nan nods.

“You actually entered this place!” The Great Princess looks at Su Nan, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Su Nan is only at the Xuan-level. In theory, with his realm, he should be struggling to move an inch in the Divine Ruins, let alone enter the core of the Divine Ruins. He could die at any moment just by delving deeper into the Divine Ruins.

And yet, Su Nan has done it. Not only has he successfully entered the heart of the Divine Ruins, but he has also reached the ancient city, which is difficult for even King-level Powerhouses to enter..
