153: Chapter 152 Conscious, but not intelligent

Crossing over the small hill.

Many black branches, resembling barbs, appeared upon the land.

Ye Xiu stopped beside a slightly larger branch.

He reached out and placed his hand on the trunk.

A surge of power of death instantly poured in from his hand; that terrifying power was far greater than what had been on the shadow before.

"What is going on?"

Ye Xiu frowned deeply.

The power of death on the Supreme Remnant did not actually come from itself.

Instead, it shared the same source as this Return Ruins.

"Could it be that the power of death within them only gradually formed after they entered the Return Ruins?"

Filled with doubt.

He began to carefully study the black branches.

It was bone-chillingly cold.

The power of death must come from underground.

The branches on this black land seemed like things derived from the earth itself.

After a long while.

Ye Xiu began to slowly ascend.

He wanted to catch a glimpse of the full landscape.

But as his altitude increased, a feeling of palpitations suddenly appeared.

In the darkness.

It seemed that many terrifying things were hidden.

As Ye Xiu ascended, many things were moving forward, advancing in his direction.

Seeing this scene.

How could Ye Xiu dare to remain in the high altitude?

Although he could see many places from a high vantage point, doing so carried too much risk.

Furthermore, being at a high altitude did not yield the expected results.

Darkness covered the land.

Even from a high altitude, he could only barely see the area within a few miles.

For the sake of this small area.

Exposing himself to the sight of those unknown monsters was not worth the gain.

After landing.

He did not wait in place but continued to Move towards the depths of the Return Ruins.

"Woo..."

In the darkness.

Suppressed roars sounded.

As he went deeper.

There were more and more unknown existences in the Return Ruins; in some areas, there were even sounds of fighting.

Perhaps in this Return Ruins.

There were also disputes.

Perhaps, like beasts, they also had their own territories.

With a bit of trepidation.

Ye Xiu, while moving forward, was extremely cautious.

Several hours later.

A mountain several thousand meters high faintly appeared in his field of vision.

"Should I go and observe it?"

Looking at the oppressive feeling in the darkness, it was needless to think that the monsters inside were definitely not few; if he were to enter.

Even if he could defeat one or two Supreme Remnants.

The fluctuations from the battle would attract more terrifying monsters.

After thinking for a long time.

Ye Xiu still decided to bypass the mountain.

After all, he was not here to risk his life; there was no need to take risks and enter these meaningless places.

If it were the Final Place.

He would choose to consider it.

But this mountain was clearly like the previous small hill; apart from Supreme Remnants, perhaps there were only unknown monsters.

The things he wanted to understand.

Should not be in this area, which was not yet considered deep.

In order to bypass the mountain.

He specifically spent some extra time walking along the foot of the mountain for over half an hour, only then did he cross the mountain area and enter an area that was slightly higher.

The land here was significantly higher than the area before the mountain.

The darkness was also becoming increasingly dense.

"Whoosh..."

A sound of breaking through the air came.

Something was moving quickly in the darkness.

"What the hell... wait, is it not coming for me?"

Ye Xiu was a bit surprised.

He specifically concealed his own aura and hid behind a thick branch.

He just watched quietly as the figure rushed through the darkness.

After a dozen seconds.

A reptilian monster with six arms and five legs appeared.

It roared.

It moved rapidly towards the direction of the mountain.

Not far away.

A dozen or so reptilian monsters followed behind it, all moving towards the mountain together.

Terrifying power of death emanated from their bodies.

Even from far away.

Ye Xiu, hiding on the side, was breaking out in a cold sweat.

The strength of these monsters probably surpassed that of the Supreme Remnants; if he encountered one, it would be fine, but if he encountered a group, he feared he wouldn't even know how he died.

After waiting for a long time.

A terrifying roar suddenly came from the mountain.

Those crawling monsters seemed to have started a great battle with the Supreme Remnants on the mountain.

Ye Xiu stared at the mountain.

His eyes revealed deep trepidation; what on earth was going on in this ghost place?

His own Dao and immortal power were infinitely suppressed.

It was one thing for those Supreme Remnants to be able to act on instinct, but what was the situation with these crawling monsters?

"Get lost!"

In an explosive shout.

A divine light suddenly emerged on the mountain, dispelling the boundless darkness.

At this moment.

The mountain area suddenly lost the cover of darkness.

This allowed Ye Xiu to clearly see all the situations on the mountain.

On the hill.

A figure covered in Death Qi was fighting against the reptilian monsters he had encountered earlier.

Even though it was fighting over a dozen monsters alone.

That Supreme Remnant was still incomparably fierce, possessing an overwhelming momentum.

Seeing this situation.

The solemn expression on Ye Xiu's face became even more intense.

That Supreme Remnant on the hill had undergone Awakening of consciousness; it no longer relied solely on instinct to fight but was able to use Moves.

"Too strong."

A Supreme Remnant capable of using Moves.

Its combat power was truly unimaginable.

Just like himself.

Originally, the gap between him and a Supreme Remnant was difficult to bridge.

But after using the Heavenly Emperor Fist and [Law-Breaking Path].

He could still fight against it; this kind of improvement was unimaginable.

Just like now.

That Supreme Remnant with consciousness, under the enhancement of Moves, was smashing the dozen or so reptilian monsters until they crumbled inch by inch.

Ye Xiu watched for a long time at the foot of the mountain.

Without waiting for the battle to end, he discovered something extremely terrifying.

Those reptilian monsters could not be killed.

Even if beaten into ashes, they would emerge from the earth again and continue to join the battle, as if this land were the mother of the monsters.

It could infinitely provide them with immortal life.

"How the hell is one supposed to fight this?"

Watching the Supreme Remnant charging again and again.

Ye Xiu was somewhat speechless.

Although this guy had undergone Awakening of consciousness.

It was clearly not very smart.
