Chapter 584: Entering the Core of the Ancient City Ruins

Swish~

Having decided to enter the core part of the ancient city ruins even without reaching the fourth stage of the Core Formation Realm, Chu Yang left the corpse of the frog demon beast, as he jumped back over the outer wall of the ancient city ruins. Soon finding himself back inside the ancient city ruins again.

Compared to when he had first entered the ancient city ruins, there was not a single demon beast in sight after he entered the ancient city ruins this time around… The main reason for this, was that most of the demon beasts inside the ancient city ruinʼs outer part had been scared into hiding after they had witnessed the slaughter brought about by him not even a day ago.

Not to mention his wanton slaughter of any Core Formation Realm demon beast that he found in the outer parts of the ancient city ruins, the demon beasts hiding away had also been scared into hiding by the powerful Core Formation Realm demon beasts from the core part of the ancient city ruins when they had searched through the outer parts of the ancient city ruins for him!

All things considered, the demon beasts below the Core Formation Realm still alive inside the ancient city ruins were all hiding away inside some of the still standing houses of the ancient city or inside small holes in the ground that they had dug out just a few hours earlier. Hoping that they would not end up dead to Chu Yang or any of the powerful Core Formation Realm demon beasts…

Squeak!?

Whoosh~

Finding out about this through witnessing a small demon beast in the earlier stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm hiding away the moment it saw him, Chu Yang could not help feeling a bit wronged.

He had mostly just hunted down the demon beasts in the Core Formation Realm, yet the Foundation Establishment Realm demon beasts were avoiding him like the plague upon seeing him!

”Thinking about it… Most of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts I killed were leading a large group of demon beasts in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation Realm… Ah… I think I understand why the demon beasts are so scared of me…”

Realizing that he had essentially killed off all the leaders of the demon beasts in the outer parts of the ancient city ruins, Chu Yang could not help smiling wryly as he felt like he understood why the Foundation Establishment Realm demon beast had run away the moment it saw him. After all, there was a rather high chance that he had killed its leader not too long ago…

No use thinking about all of this, my goal is not to become friends with the demon beasts in the outer parts of the ancient city ruins, its to enter the core part of the ancient city ruins! Hopefully without the group of Core Formation Realm demon beasts noticing me in the process…

Swish~

Shaking his head as he reminded himself of his goal for entering the ancient city ruins, Chu Yang ignored the fearful gazes he could feel from the demon beasts peeking at him from afar before heading towards the centre of the ancient city ruins.

…

Swoosh!

Coming to a stop just before entering the core part of the ruins, chu yang stared towards the centre of the ancient city ruins where several unfamiliar and familiar Core Formation Realm demon beasts were visible.

The last thing he wanted to happen was for these demon beasts to notice him the moment he entered the core part of the ancient city ruins and for this reason, Chu Yang slowed down and did his best to hide himself before truly entering the core part of the ancient city ruins.

”As long as there arenʼt any demon beasts in the Nascent Soul Realm with divine sense, I should be fine…” Muttering this to himself as he officially stepped into the core part of the ancient city ruins, Chu Yang could not help sincerely hoping that none of the demon beasts inside had developed their divine sense yet.

After all, if any of the demon beasts inside had developed their divine sense or reached the Nascent Soul Realm, Chu Yang would have no way to hide from them no matter how much he tried.

Divine sense was simply way too powerful. Allowing someone to easily grasp everything within oneʼs divine sense. The only thing that allowed someone to avoid someoneʼs divine sense, was something belonging to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, like a pseudo domain or a domain belonging to the realm above the Nascent Soul Realm!

No matter what it was, Chu Yang had neither of them and was still far away from any of those two things… So… If anyone inside the core part of the ancient city ruins had developed their divine sense, he would not be able to hide and would get found out the moment he unknowingly wandered into the range of the demon beastʼs divine sense…

Rustle~

Still continuing forward, Chu Yang decided against trying to kill any of the many Core Formation Realm demon beasts that he saw wandering around the core of the ancient city ruins without the slightest bit of worry that anyone would suddenly launch an attack on them.

He understood very well that if he attacks any of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts, he would instantly get found by all the demon beasts inside the core area. At that point, he would not have a chance to enter the core part of the ancient city ruins any time in the nearby future. Not to mention, he had no idea if he could even kill a single of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts wandering around alone in time before more demon beasts showed up to help…

Before trying to kill any of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts for the transparent stone inside of them, Chu Yang wanted to first explore the core part of the ancient city and see if he could find anything of interest that could help improve his cultivation base like the transparent stones, he had gathered from the Core Formation Realm demon beasts so far.

At the same time, Chu Yang felt that it was weird that the Explorer Union and the members of the Explorer Union would stop coming to the ancient city ruins all of a sudden due to it having been emptied out.

After all, if he could tell how useful the transparent stones were to increasing his cultivation base, so could the many explorers of the Explore Union who had come before him… Unless, something had changed in the ancient city ruins during the few hundred years that had passed since the Explorer Union lost interest in the ancient city ruins.

Although explorers still came to visit the ancient city ruins from time to time. Most of them had only reached the Foundation Establishment Realm and was similar to the three explorers he had talked with before leaving the Small River Town and heading to the ancient city ruins.

With their strength only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, there was no way for them to kill any of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts and get a chance to get their hands on one of the transparent stone located inside them!

”I wonder if I will find an answer to this after reaching the centre of the city…” Muttering this to himself as all kinds of thoughts swirled through his mind, Chu Yang felt more and more curious about just what had taken place inside the ancient city ruins to cause the transparent stone to appear inside the body of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts that lived inside the city ruins.

Even if he understood it would be dangerous for him to go to the centre of the ancient city ruins, Chu Yang wanted to understand where the transparent stones had come from and more importantly understand why only the demon beasts at the Core Formation Realm inside the borders of the ancient city ruins could form a transparent stone inside of them while the ones just outside the outer walls could not!

Chu Yang felt that understanding this might help him not only better understand the origins of the transparent stone he had devoured without any worry, but might also help him understand where he might be able to find more of the transparent stones in the future!

After all, Chu Yang doubted that it was only the demon beasts inside the ancient city ruins who could form this weird transparent stone useful for increasing his cultivation realm inside their body, there had to be more similar places out there… And more importantly, there had to be a story behind this…

Swish~

Thinking this to himself, Chu Yang narrowed his eyes as he slowly began moving towards the centre of the ancient ruins while doing his best to avoid any demon beast along the way.
