Chapter 279 Heavenly Ruins Tower!
It was very dark inside the tower.
But it wasn't the kind of pitch-black darkness where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face; rather, it was a... eerie darkness that swallowed up light.
Su Fan took a few steps and realized he was stepping on something.
Looking down, I saw only bones.
More than one.
The area from the tower gate to the inside of the tower, a distance of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), was densely covered with white bones.
Some wore tattered armor, some held rusty weapons, and some remained in a crawling posture, their finger bones digging deeply into the cracks in the ground.
Su Fan stepped over the bones without expression.
The first level of the tower was empty, containing nothing but bones.
Su Fan went up the stairs to the second floor.
The second floor was also spacious, but the walls were covered with murals.
The mural depicts a group of people kneeling on the ground, worshipping a tripod.
The cauldron floated in the air, radiating light, while the faces of those kneeling in worship were filled with piety.
Su Fan glanced at it and continued upwards.
The third layer.
The murals have changed.
Those who had been kneeling stood up and began to fight each other.
Blood flowed like rivers, and corpses littered the fields, yet the cauldron remained suspended in the air, coldly observing everything.
Fourth floor.
The mural depicts mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as well as a... cracked cauldron.
The cauldron shattered.
Fragments were scattered all over the ground, and all those who fought were dead.
Su Fan continued upwards.
The fifth floor.
There was nothing there, just an empty floor, not even a mural.
Su Fan frowned and scanned the entire space with his divine sense.
There were no traps, no mechanisms, and no signs of life.
But the more it's like this, the more something feels off.
He gripped the Chengyuan sword tightly and slowly walked towards the stairwell.
The moment he stepped onto the stairs, a chilling aura suddenly erupted from behind him!
Without turning his head, Su Fan slashed out with his sword!
puff-
The sound of a sword piercing flesh.
Su Fan turned around and saw a humanoid creature shrouded in black mist, pinned to the wall by the Chengyuan Sword.
Its chest was pierced, and the black mist surged violently, emitting a mournful roar.
"That's it?" Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
The creature roared, and its body began to swell.
Su Fan's eyes turned cold.
He drew his sword and struck again, severing the creature's head.
The black mist exploded, and the creature's corpse turned into a pool of black water that seeped into the ground.
Su Fan shook the black water off his sword and continued upstairs.
The sixth floor.
As soon as I stepped onto the stairs, a strong smell of blood hit me.
Su Fan looked up and saw that there were more than a dozen corpses lying haphazardly on the ground of this floor.
This floor is finally no longer empty.
Against the wall, there were rows of wooden shelves, on which various objects were placed.
There were weapons, armor, jade slips, and bottles of elixirs.
But most of them were covered in dust, indicating that they had been stored for a very long time.
Su Fan walked towards the wooden frame.
He casually picked up a sword; the blade hummed softly, indicating good quality, far superior to some of the divine weapons on Earth.
But it's useless against him; he already has the Chengyuan Sword.
However, it can be taken back and given to other Divine Masters in China.
Su Fan stored the weapon in his system space, then picked up a jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.
It contains a technique called "Black Fiend Technique," which allows one to control fiendish energy after practicing it.
Su Fan glanced at it once and then threw it away.
Rubbish.
He rummaged through a few more items and found that most of them were junk.
Until he reached the innermost wooden shelf.
There was only one item on the wooden shelf.
A jade plaque.
The jade plaque is about the size of a palm, pure white, and has a single character engraved on it.
【make】
Su Fan picked up the jade tablet, and instantly, a surge of information flooded into his mind.
[Heavenly Ruins Token: The holder of this token may teleport freely within Heavenly Ruins City. Limited to three uses.]
Su Fan's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know if it was still useful, it was never a bad thing to take it.
Su Fan put the jade tablet into his system space and continued to examine it.
There is also a hidden compartment next to the wooden frame.
Su Fan opened the hidden compartment, which contained three pills.
The pills were golden in color and emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.
[Nine-Turn Golden Elixir (Genuine): After consumption, it can raise one's cultivation level by one major realm, with no side effects. Note: Only for use below the Divine Realm.]
Su Fan: "..."
