Chapter 53: The Gathering of the Strong, the Divine Ruins Open!
Before the Divine Ruins, countless cultivators converged.
The ship of the empress, the All Gods Pirate Ship, also stopped not far from the Divine Ruins.
But the empress did not appear again.
Many gazes still couldn't shift away from the All Gods Pirate Ship.
Because everyone wanted to catch another glimpse of the empress.
Her beauty.
One look,
would be forever etched in the depths of the soul.
Hard to forget.
One by one, powerful beings arrived.
The rumbling thunderous sound transmitted, a huge ship measuring one hundred thousand meters crushed through the void.
"People from Penglai Ancient Sacred Land."
Some cultivator exclaimed.
The Three Saints and Four Immortals.
Penglai! The ancient Holy Land!
The most top-level force of the Human Clan.
The strength is unimaginable.
The giant ship of Penglai Immortal Island docked in the void.
The cultivators of Penglai Immortal Island did not come out; they were waiting for the opening of the Divine Ruins.
Soon, endless flames swept heaven and earth.
"Look quickly, is that a sun?" a cultivator pointed to the distance.
Everyone looked over.
To see in the distance, a Divine Sun was rising.
As if the sun from the depths of the universe starry sky had fallen down.
This kind of scene,
truly shocks people.
Not long after.
Terrifying aura spread in the void.
A Sun God Car, pulled by nine Flame Divine Birds, appeared.
"The Sun God Car of the Golden Crow Clan, the powerful ones from Golden Crow Island have arrived," a cultivator called out.
Golden Crow Island.
Also one of the most powerful forces in the East Sea.
Scream!
The wailing sound resonated through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
In the distance.
A continent flew over.
Fearsome aura spread forth.
As if the Ancient Demon Gods had revived.
All watched.
All were shocked.
Because that was not a continent.
But a Divine Peng Bird.
However, that Divine Peng Bird was too massive.
Feathered wings unfurled, they spanned three thousand miles.
"The people from Divine Peng Island have arrived,"
...
This is also among the top-level forces in the East Sea.
Immediately after, the forces from Ancient Clouds and Rain Sacred Land, Feixian Ancient Sacred Land, Fire Cloud Island, and Flame Island all had strong practitioners arrive.
The most powerful Seven Great Forces of the East Sea, all arrived.
The opening of the Divine Ruins.
Too important, these forces naturally would not be absent.
"Rumble rumble…"
The sound shook the heavens, the void cracked open.
Endless Death Energy spread out.
In the sea domain, a large number of beings perished.
Some cultivators engulfed by Death Energy were deprived of their lives.
Rapidly aging.
Those cultivators screamed in terror, flying rapidly toward the distance.
Following that.
Within the cracked open void,
An ancient black magic ship surged forth.
"The Ship of Death, it's the Pirate King Barbossa," someone called out in horror.
Barbossa is one of the most ferocious existences among the pirate kings.
Speaking of Pirate King Barbossa, no one is not shocked.
"There really are quite a number of people outside this Divine Ruins," Barbossa's sinister voice emanated from the Ship of Death.
The powerful beings of the Seven Great Forces such as the Three Saints and Four Immortals glanced coldly towards the Ship of Death.
This ancient ship inherited from the Ancient Era was very demonic.
It also made them feel apprehensive.
Although heroes converged,
No one made a move against Barbossa at this critical juncture.
After Barbossa arrived,
One after another, ancient ships broke through the void and surged out.
Divine Punishment Pirate Ship!
Hell Pirate Ship!
Heavenly Dragon Pirate Ship!
Demon God Pirate Ship!
Evil Dragon Pirate Ship!
Ten Thousand Demon Pirate Ship!
Storm Pirate Ship!
Including the Divine Punishment Pirate Ship of the Empress and Barbossa's Death Pirate Ship,
the Sea Domain World.
Nine Great Pirate Kings, coming together.
Nine ancient ships.
Some shrouded in black fog.
Some obscured by divine light.
Others enveloped in ghostly energy.
...
But every ancient ship exudes an ancient aura.
It was for this reason that the Nine Great Pirate Kings were able to stand out during the great age of sea expeditions.
And become Pirate Kings.
It was related to the ancient ships they possessed.
Ordinary ships.
If destroyed,
with enough money, one could build or buy another.
But these nine ancient ships were all remnants from the Ancient Era.
And they were no ordinary ships; they had survived the ancient wars and remained undamaged.
Their legacy continued to the present.
The nine ancient ships possessed unimaginable power.
Especially within the seas.
Even the mighty Sea King was unable to swallow up the Divine Punishment Pirate Ship.
After the Empress activated the Divine Punishment Pirate Ship,
she drove back the Sea King.
This made it clear,
how terrifying the Divine Punishment Pirate Ship was.
The other eight ancient ships were no different from the Divine Punishment Pirate Ship.
Just how terrifying,
only the Nine Great Pirate Kings knew.
...
Now that the Nine Great Pirate Kings have come together,
many top-level forces look on with solemn caution.
"Hmph."
At that moment, a cold snort sounded.
An ancient copper carriage approached from the distance.
The carriage was drawn by three bronze celestial horses.
"This is the bronze celestial horse carriage, a powerhouse from the Heavenly God Hall,"
someone exclaimed.
This most ancient force had also arrived.
A terrifying presence emanated from inside the bronze carriage,
enveloping the Divine Punishment Pirate Ship.
Clearly, the powerhouses from the Heavenly God Hall were targeting the Empress.
Previously, the Empress had almost slain Heavenly Law,
enraging the Heavenly God Hall completely.
Such a top-level force as the Heavenly God Hall,
would naturally not submit in silence.
"The Heavenly God Hall is targeting the Empress, and while it's unlikely they'll make a move on the outside, within the Divine Ruins, I suspect the Heavenly God Hall will certainly attack the Empress. I wonder if the other eight Pirate Kings will get involved. If the other eight Pirate Kings do take part, this battle will have far-reaching consequences," Lin Feng whispered.
The Shangyuan Daoist nodded and said, "The power of the Nine Great Pirate Kings is extremely strong, not to mention the power of the Heavenly God Hall. And since the Heavenly God Hall has ties with many terrestrial forces, if they are determined to deal with the Empress, this matter will inevitably explode into a large-scale battle, leading to rivers of blood."
Many other ancient forces had arrived.
The Four Great Ancient Imperial Dynasties of Central Province.
Great Xia, Great Shang, Great Zhou, Great Qin.
Their powerhouses had come.
Additionally, the Longevity Hall, the Barbarian God Temple, and other top-level forces from the Seventy-two States in the north had sent their powerhouses.
Cangzhou, Immortal State, Huazhou, Yunzhou, and so on.
From the Three Thousand States of the Heavenly Martial Continent,
at least more than half of the states
had top-notch forces' powerhouses arrive.
Outside the Divine Ruins,
countless cultivators swarmed.
There were so many cultivators that no one knew the number.
It was even Lin Feng's first time seeing so many cultivators gathered together.
The number,
probably required astronomical figures to calculate.
This showed,
the impact of the opening of the Divine Ruins
was indeed immense.
But then again, it seemed normal.
The last time the Divine Ruins opened was four thousand years ago.
Besides those with long life spans who had entered,
most people had never been inside the Divine Ruins.
And the Divine Ruins were battlefield remains from the battle of the gods.
Inside, there were bound to be countless opportunities.
If one could find the legacy of an Ancient God,
they could rise to great heights overnight.
Rumble rumble...
Ten days later, the restrictions enveloping the Divine Ruins trembled violently.
Following that, a huge vortex appeared above the Divine Ruins.
"The Divine Ruins have opened!"
A cultivator shouted excitedly, swiftly rushing towards the twisted giant vortex above the Divine Ruins.
That was the space-time gate of the Divine Ruins.
