btth: receive your own sucide note

  . After sending off Venerable Lei, Chen Guan and his group experienced no further incidents, a tranquility that stood out from the rest of the powerful realm.

  During this quiet wait, Chen Guan and his companions could see that more and more powerful individuals were flocking to the Skeleton Mountain Range. Later, even late at night, the mountain range was bustling with activity, its clamor reaching the heavens.

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

  The distorted space high in the sky, the focus of countless people, its chaotic spatial forces visibly calmed down. Through the spatial rifts, a sea of white bones could even be seen within the ruins.

  Clearly, this was a sign that the ancient ruins were about to be opened.

  This realization heightened the atmosphere throughout the mountain range. The allure of the ancient ruins seemed to intensify, and everyone seemed to become increasingly irritable. The slightest friction would escalate into a desperate fight.

  In this atmosphere, another two days passed.

  Late in the night, clear and cold as water, the icy moonlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the brightly lit mountain range, draping it with a mysterious veil.

  At this moment, the spatial rift in the sky seemed to expand to its limit, and the terrifying spatial force of the previous few days completely vanished.

  In an instant, the bustling Beast Skeleton Mountains fell into a profound silence. With a powerful glance, one could see pairs of wolf-like eyes fixed on the space, breathing heavily.

  "Bang!"

  Suddenly, a tent exploded. An anxious person moved first, shooting towards the spatial rift like an arrow from a bow.

  As if a powder keg had been ignited, the silent mountain range erupted in chaos. The sound of breaking air echoed in Xiao Yan's trance, and a faint sound of breaking wind echoed one after another. The dense crowd of figures soared high in the sky, blocking out most of the moonlight.

  "The Phantom Sect's eldest daughter has arrived! Get out of the way!"

  "Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

  "Idiot!"

  "Charge! The ancient ruins are open!"

  The opening of the ancient ruins threw the entire Beast Skeleton Mountain Range into complete chaos. Over a thousand people scrambled to enter the ruins as soon as possible and seize the initiative.

  They might have known this was a bit rash, but this place was packed with major factions, with Dou Zun masters numbering on a handful. If they didn't seize the opportunity now, they would be left with nothing.

  The whimsical pursuit of a bargain is something only a few people can

  hope for. As weaklings, we should have the awareness of the weak. When faced with an opportunity, we must risk our lives.

  Perhaps this is the only chance for most weaklings to change their fate!

  In contrast, forces like Chen Guan, the Falling Star Pavilion, the Burning Flame Valley, the Yellow Spring Pavilion, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and others remained calm and composed.

  Different levels of power necessitate different perspectives.

  In their eyes, these people are the best pathfinders!

  "Retreat!"

  Although Chen Guanren didn't move, he released his spiritual power to probe. Suddenly, he roared, pulling Medusa beside him with him, and retreated a thousand feet.

  Upon hearing the warning, Skyfire Venerable, Little Medical Immortal, and the others reacted swiftly. Without hesitation, they followed Chen Guan from directly below the ancient ruins.

  As Chen Guan and his companions retreated, a number of figures suddenly retreated from the surrounding giant trees, evidently having discovered something.

  Just as they were evacuating, the peaceful spatial rift in the sky suddenly shifted. With a loud bang, a terrifying spatial force that would terrify even a Dou Zun master erupted from the rift like a storm, sweeping in all directions.

  Those who rushed the fastest bore the brunt of the storm. In the blink of an eye, they were engulfed by the storm, and shrill screams echoed across the sea of bones.

  The violent space ripples, like cutting wheat, swallowed up all the people rushing in the front, leaving no corpses!   

  Some powerful individuals further back finally realized something was amiss, and the group that had been rushing forward suddenly turned and fled in panic. For a moment, chaos reigned outside the sea of bones.

  "Bang!"

  Because of the distance, by the time the spatial storm had spread, it posed no threat to Chen Guan and the others.

  While they breathed a sigh of relief, a glance around them filled them with a sense of trepidation. The entire Beast Skeleton Mountain Range seemed to have been emptied, its summit shattered. Countless figures howled miserably, writhing on the ground, their blood staining the vast sea of bones crimson.

  Thousands had perished in the mere beginning!

  The devastation of the ancient ruins was truly evident!

  "This is the rupture of the ancient ruins' seal. After countless eons, it still possesses such terrifying power—a feat worthy of a Dou Sheng. However, this also means we can officially enter," exclaimed

  Skyfire Venerable. The moment before, even he felt a pang of fear.

  "Since that's the case, let's move! Move together and don't get separated."

  There was no time to sympathize with the fallen; everyone must take responsibility for their own actions.

  With a wave of his hand, Chen Guan transformed into a flash of lightning, charging into the sea of bones.

  Medusa, Little Medical Fairy, Zi Yan, Qing Lin, and the others followed closely behind.

  Drawing on the treasure trove of information in his mind, Chen Guan knew exactly what valuable treasures the ruins held. Therefore, there was no need to disperse; gathering together would actually increase their competitiveness.

  As for the rest of the trinkets, he left them to others to fight over; he didn't care.

  As they engaged the group, other powerful figures who had previously successfully avoided the spatial fluctuations also immediately launched themselves, transforming into blurry figures and darting into the sea of bones.

  It was clear that those charging ahead this time were significantly more powerful than the previous group. They were all renowned figures from various factions, their figures almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

  As Venerable Skyfire had predicted, the group successfully entered the ancient ruins without encountering any further danger.

  The first thing that caught their eye was a sea of white bones, visible from the outside.

  This sea of bones was immense, stretching over ten thousand feet at a glance. It was hard to imagine how many lives must have perished here to create such a scene.

  After Chen Guan and the others entered the sea of bones, they looked out into the distance and could faintly discern the outline of a towering mountain at the end of the sea. Like a ferocious ancient beast stalking the sea of bones, it was a terrifying sight.

  Even Chen Guan couldn't fathom every detail of the ancient ruins, so upon entering, everyone's flight speed involuntarily slowed considerably.

  After all, the previous spatial storm, as well as the information gathered by spies from various factions who had recently entered, showed that this ancient ruins was no safe place. It harbored a variety of bizarre mechanisms and countless powerful monsters. If one wasn't careful, losing one's life here was a real possibility.

  As they approached, the white mist drifting within the sea of bones gradually thinned, and the colossal structure finally emerged clearly into view.

  It was a grand palace!

  Nearly a thousand feet tall, almost as vast as a mountain!

  Even the majestic Dan Tower of Shengdan City seemed incredibly small in comparison. Looking up at this behemoth towering between heaven and earth, a sense of insignificance arose.

  The vast palace was blazing crimson, and from afar, it looked like a rising flame, glaring against the azure sea of bones.

  The surrounding experts were also momentarily stunned by the sheer size of the crimson palace. After a long pause, they finally recovered and looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

  As expected of a legendary Dou Sheng, this masterpiece was truly magnificent!

  While everyone was stunned by the massive palace, no one noticed that at the edge of the sea of bones, black and white mist intertwined, and several pairs of scarlet eyes stared at them like hungry wolves.

  "Hehehe, Sect Master Chen, are you absolutely sure that middle-aged man is Chen Guan?"

  "My son's body is still warm. Even if he turns to ash, I can find him!"
