Seventh level of battle!

The moment he passed through the Star Gate, the cold wind of the Eternal Sacred Ruins, carrying a mixed scent of sandalwood and blood, assailed him.

White Night stepped onto the dark grey giant stones, and the black moss in the cracks crackled faintly as it touched the lightning glow from his shoe soles.

He looked up at the Eternal Divine Tower in the distance; the faint golden light flowing on the tower seemed even dimmer than before, and the sound of chains dragging vaguely echoed from within the swirling mist.

"It seems the disturbance deep within the Sacred Ruins has already affected the Eternal Divine Tower."

White Night rubbed the poseidons ring on his finger; the blue gem on the ring felt slightly warm, as if sensing some power.

He had only taken a few steps when the Star Gate behind him suddenly erupted with a dazzling red light. Five figures clad in silver-white battle armor emerged through the light, the black feathered wing patterns on their armor writhing like living things in the red glow.

They were the pursuers from the Star Palace of Feather Assassins.

The leading middle-aged man had a stern face, with a scar extending from his brow bone to his jaw on his left cheek. He held a longsword wreathed in purple-black flames, and his aura had actually reached the peak of Seventh-Turn!

Seeing White Night, the man's eyes blazed with intense hatred: "You little bastard from Blue Star, trying to run?!"

The four Star Palace of Feather Assassins members behind him simultaneously unfurled their black wings. Viscous black mist dripped from the wings, transforming into faceless Shadow Beasts upon hitting the ground. The Shadow Beasts' sharp claws gleamed with a chilling light capable of tearing space, as they converged on White Night.

This was the Star Palace of Feather Assassins' "Shadow Strangling Array," specifically used to encircle and kill powerful enemies.

White Night's gaze sharpened. The poseidons ring suddenly erupted with a dark blue light, and the surrounding water vapor instantly condensed into three water walls, blocking the Shadow Beasts.

The Shadow Beasts' claws scraped against the water walls with an ear-piercing sound, but they couldn't break through.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man swung his longsword, and purple-black flames surged towards the water walls like a tide. Instead of extinguishing, the flames caused violent explosions upon contact with the water, and the water walls disintegrated inch by inch amidst the blasts.

"Seventh-Turn peak Flame Law, and it's also fused with Shadow power?"

White Night tapped his toes, his body soaring into the air amidst the explosion's shockwave. The Eternal Demon Blade's body was wreathed in grey-black Thunder Law, and simultaneously, he activated the power of the poseidons ring. Dozens of ice spears condensed from the water vapor in the air, their tips gleaming with a faint golden divine radiance, shooting towards the middle-aged man like a meteor shower.

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his longsword carving out a purple-black flame vortex that swallowed all the ice spears.

But just as the flame vortex was about to dissipate, grey-black lightning suddenly erupted from its center. The lightning backlashed along the flame's trajectory, catching the middle-aged man off guard. His left arm was struck by the lightning, his silver-white battle armor instantly charred black, revealing a bloody, mangled wound beneath.

"You little bastard! You're asking for death!" The middle-aged man roared, unfurling his domain. Purple-black flames and shadows intertwined into a demonic domain a hundred zhang in diameter, filled with countless black feathered wings. As the wings flapped, a ghostly shriek echoed.

White Night's Thunder Domain collided with it, the two Laws annihilating each other and erupting in a visible energy shockwave. The surrounding broken walls and ruins collapsed with a crash in the shockwave.

The four Star Palace of Feather Assassins members seized the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Their longbows shot black feathered arrows, which split into hundreds of illusions in the air. Each illusion contained the power to tear apart a divine soul.

White Night activated Time-Space Thunder Step to its utmost, his body weaving through the illusions. Simultaneously, the Eternal Demon Blade carved out a circular blade aura, within which grey-black Thunder Law and dark blue Water Law intertwined, forming a rotating energy storm that shredded all the feathered arrow illusions.

"Thunder • Water Prison Cage!"

White Night let out a low cry. The power of the poseidons ring perfectly fused with Thunder Law. The accumulated water on the ground and the water vapor in the air simultaneously erupted, transforming into countless water chains wreathed in lightning. The water chains flew towards the four Star Palace of Feather Assassins members as if alive, binding them tightly to the tilted stone pillars.

Lightning surged into their bodies along the water chains, screams rose one after another, and their silver-white battle armor gradually melted in the lightning.

The middle-aged man watched his companions' tragic state, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

He realized that the Blue Star native before him was by no means an ordinary Fifth-Turn professional. The longsword in his hand suddenly erupted with dazzling red light, and all the black feathered wing patterns on the sword expanded, emitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation!

This was a forbidden move he exchanged for by burning his life force.

"Feather Assassin • Star Fall!"

The longsword transformed into a purple-black meteor, trailing a long fiery tail as it slashed towards White Night's head. Wherever the meteor passed, a dark crack was burned into space.

White Night's eyes narrowed. He simultaneously unleashed the Sea God Domain and the Thunder Domain. The water currents and lightning within a hundred-mile radius converged to form a blue giant whale clad in lightning armor. The giant whale opened its massive mouth, spewing an energy torrent containing both Laws, which collided with the meteor.

An earth-shattering explosion echoed deep within the Sacred Ruins. The shockwave dispersed the surrounding mist, revealing a bronze giant gate half-buried in the distance.

The giant gate was carved with lightning patterns similar to those on the Eternal Divine Tower. The door knockers were two thunderbirds holding chains, the other ends of which disappeared into the deep mist, where grey-white scales could vaguely be seen wrapped around the chains.

Those were the scales of a Divine Abomination!

When the smoke and dust from the explosion cleared, the middle-aged man was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood. His longsword had shattered, and his aura was extremely weak.

White Night slowly walked up to him, the tip of the Eternal Demon Blade pressed against his throat: "Why is the Star Palace of Feather Assassins so obsessed with the Eternal Sacred Ruins?"

The middle-aged man let out a cry of agony, his eyes filled with terror and regret, black blood oozing from the corner of his mouth: "I..."

Before he could finish, his head suddenly exploded, turning into a ball of purple-black flames that incinerated all information.

White Night frowned at the spot where the flames had extinguished, then turned and walked towards the bronze giant gate.

The giant gate was about ten zhang tall, with a line of ancient runes carved on its lintel. The runes suddenly lit up with a faint golden light when they touched the lightning glow from his fingertips, and a piece of information directly entered his mind: [Ruins of Gods Fall seal, requires nine Law keys to open]

"Nine Law keys?" White Night rubbed his chin. The Water Law of the poseidons ring lit up one of the runes, and the Thunder Law within him lit up another. It seemed he needed to gather nine basic Laws to open this gate.

Just then, the bronze giant gate suddenly vibrated violently. The chains behind the gate groaned under the strain, and an aura several times stronger than the Seventh-Turn Divine Abomination he had encountered before emanated from behind the gate.

Grey-black mist seeped from the gate's cracks, and within the mist, a giant claw covered in dark golden scales could vaguely be seen. The tip of the claw gleamed with a grey light that could corrode Laws.

White Night quickly retreated, gripping the Eternal Demon Blade. He could feel that this was a mutated Divine Abomination, and its strength had probably reached the early Eighth-Turn!

The mist grew thicker, and the owner of the giant claw slowly emerged. It was a Divine Abomination ten zhang long, its body covered in dark golden scales, with purple-black blood vessels flowing beneath them. It had three pairs of bone wings on its back, the edges of which were as sharp as blades.

The most bizarre thing was its face; although it still had no facial features, a vertical eye grew on its forehead. Grey-black flames burned in the vertical eye, emitting an aura of destruction.

When the mutated Divine Abomination saw White Night, the flames in its vertical eye suddenly surged. It didn't use a weapon but directly swung its giant claw to strike, the claw wind carrying the power to tear Laws, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

White Night didn't meet it head-on. Time-Space Thunder Step and spatial penetration Law were simultaneously activated, his body appearing at the mutated Divine Abomination's side. The Eternal Demon Blade was infused with demigod power, its blade glowing with a faint golden light as it slashed towards the base of its bone wing.

"Clang!"

The blade collided with the bone wing, emitting a crisp metallic clang. Only a shallow white mark appeared on the mutated Divine Abomination's bone wing, while White Night was shaken back five zhang.

He looked down at the Eternal Demon Blade; the white mark on its blade was deeper than when he fought the remnants of Poseidon.

"The defensive power of an early Eighth-Turn is indeed terrifying."

White Night took a deep breath. The poseidons ring suddenly erupted with dazzling blue light, and the Sea God Domain was fully unleashed. The water currents within a hundred-mile radius converged to form a blue giant dragon, which held a grey-black thunder pearl in its mouth.

This was the thunder core he had formed by compressing tens of thousands of Thunder Laws.

The blue giant dragon roared as it charged towards the mutated Divine Abomination. Along the dragon's path, water vapor condensed into sharp ice shards. The ice shards and the thunder pearl resonated with each other, erupting with world-destroying power.

The mutated Divine Abomination let out a silent roar, its bone wings flapping violently. Grey-black mist condensed into a massive bone shield, carved with distorted runes, emitting an aura that devoured everything.

The moment the giant dragon collided with the bone shield, the entire deep Sacred Ruins trembled. All the lightning patterns on the bronze giant gate lit up, as if responding to this earth-shattering collision.

Seizing the moment of their stalemate, White Night combined the Thunder • God's Fall Slash with the water-based piercing technique from the Sea God Combat Art. The Eternal Demon Blade transformed into a grey-blue stream of light, piercing into the pupil of the mutated Divine Abomination's vertical eye.

"Roar!"

The mutated Divine Abomination let out an unprecedented scream of pain. The grey-black flames in its vertical eye flickered wildly, and its body struggled violently. Dark golden scales fell off one after another, revealing the collapsing flesh beneath.

White Night didn't give it a chance to breathe. The divine thunder core within him operated at full power, and the Eternal Demon Blade churned within its head, completely destroying its core.

The mutated Divine Abomination's massive body crashed to the ground, its dark golden scales losing their luster and turning into flying ash. In the spot where it dissipated, a dark golden crystal floated in the air, enclosing a wisp of grey-black airflow, emitting an early Eighth-Turn aura.

White Night reached out and grasped the crystal. A pure Law of Destruction surged into his body, creating a wonderful resonance with the Thunder Law and Water Law.

[Obtained Divine Abomination Core • Early Eighth-Turn]

[Effect: Contains the Law of Destruction, can be used to strengthen weapons or comprehend Laws]

He put away the crystal and turned to look at the bronze giant gate.

At this moment, two of the nine runes on the giant gate had lit up, corresponding to Thunder and Water Laws respectively.

The chains behind the gate no longer vibrated, and the sound of Laws flowing vaguely emanated, as if something was awakening.

White Night walked to the giant gate and reached out to touch the thunderbirds on the door knockers. The thunderbirds' eyes suddenly lit up, and a piece of information entered his mind: [Gather the Nine Keys, open the Ruins of Gods Fall, and obtain the Eternal Legacy]

"Eternal Legacy?" A trace of anticipation flashed in White Night's eyes. He could feel that behind this bronze giant gate lay the ultimate secrets about the divine selection world, the Eternal Divine Tower, and the Divine Abominations.

He glanced in the direction of the Eternal Divine Tower. The faint golden light on the tower seemed to have dimmed even further, and the sound of chains in the mist grew clearer.

"It seems I can't delay any longer."

White Night gripped the Eternal Demon Blade and turned to walk deeper into the Sacred Ruins.

To gather the nine Law keys, he would inevitably face more powerful enemies: subsequent pursuers from the Star Palace of Feather Assassins, mutated Divine Abominations, and possibly even top powerhouses from other civilizations.

But he felt no fear. His Fifth-Turn max-level body contained world-destroying power, and the poseidons ring and Eternal Demon Blade resonated with each other, two completely different Laws perfectly fused in his hands.

The bronze giant gate in the distance stood silently in the mist, like an old man who had waited countless years, awaiting the moment to unveil its secrets...
