68: An ancient beast? A terrifying place?

Inside the inn, at a table by the window, Tang Tian and his group had just sat down when they became the center of attention.

It was all because of the Big Black Dog.

That fellow actually ate two tables worth of exquisite food and wine before finally lying down beside Tang Tian, letting out satisfied burps.

“Are you that hungry?”

Rolling his eyes, Tang Tian grumbled with a hint of exasperation.

“Brother Tian, I didn’t want to.”

“My appetite is naturally large, don’t forget, this Lord…”

Looking at Tang Tian with innocent eyes, the Big Black Dog explained.

However, before it could finish its sentence, Tang Tian stopped it with a look.

The Big Black Dog said nothing more.

Next, Tang Tian and the others enjoyed their meal while chatting idly.

“Young Clan Leader, are you not planning to return directly to the Family?”

White Sha asked, looking at Tang Tian with a surprised expression.

“That’s right!”

Tang Tian nodded and replied.

“What’s the point of rushing back so quickly?”

Then, Tang Tian added another sentence.

Black and White Shuangsha exchanged glances, both smiling bitterly.

In the end, they still nodded.

They were merely Tang Tian’s servants and Dao Protectors!

Since Tang Tian had made up his mind, what more could they say?

“Then… Boss, where are we going next?”

Ye Wuming couldn’t help but ask Tang Tian curiously.

Immediately, Black and White Shuangsha, Ouyang Lang, and the Big Black Dog all pricked up their ears curiously.

They also wanted to know what Tang Tian’s plans were.

Not returning to the Emperor Clan Tang Family?

Then where was he planning to go?

“Haven’t thought about it yet…”

Taking a sip of wine, Tang Tian said leisurely.

Hearing Tang Tian’s words, everyone was speechless.

Still haven’t thought about it?

This guy was truly a character!

As Tang Tian and his group chatted, they were drawn to a conversation from some people nearby.

“Have you heard? It seems an Ancient Ruins has appeared nearby?”

“How could I not have heard? Apparently, quite a few Saints have already died in that Ruins, right?”

“Hiss! What kind of Ruins is so powerful? Even Saints can’t escape disaster?”

“I don’t know! It’s said to be related to some Ancient Vicious Beast? Those Saints died because of the Ancient Vicious Beast.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t this Ancient Ruins alarm those Great Emperors?”

“Impossible! Which of those Great Emperors isn’t in seclusion Cultivating? No matter how powerful the Ancient Ruins, it wouldn’t be able to attract them, would it?”

“…”

Hearing the discussions around him, Tang Tian’s face couldn’t help but show a curious expression.

Ancient Ruins?

Ancient Vicious Beast?

Quite a few Saints have died?

Tsk tsk tsk!

How interesting!

In an instant, Tang Tian made up his mind.

Since he had nothing better to do, he absolutely had to investigate.

Ancient Vicious Beast?

Perhaps, if he was lucky, he could control it with the Beast Mastery Art?

Not only Tang Tian, but Black and White Shuangsha’s reactions were also similar.

As the saying goes, one must seek wealth in danger, right?

This was what they were thinking.

Before long, Tang Tian and his group had a certain understanding of this Ancient Ruins.

The Ancient Ruins was located nearly two thousand miles away from Harbor City!

It was deep within a desert!

This Ancient Ruins had appeared more than ten days ago.

During this period, many Cultivators had entered it.

However, as of now, not a single person has been seen coming out of it.

Instead, many Cultivators and powerful individuals waiting outside had acquired shattered Soul plates and extinguished Soul lamps.

It was precisely because of this that this Ancient Ruins also acquired a new name.

Peerless Ominous Land!

No matter how powerful a Cultivator entered it, they would face a near-certain death. What else could it be but a Peerless Ominous Land?

“Boss, are we really going to this Peerless Ominous Land?”

After eating and drinking their fill, Ye Wuming asked tentatively.

“That’s right!”

“Is there a problem?”

Tang Tian nodded and retorted.

“There’s no problem, it’s just that I’m a little scared…”

Scratching his head, Ye Wuming said honestly.

“Ye Wuming, can’t you show some ambition?”

“We Cultivators should always advance bravely. Only by possessing an invincible heart can we reach the peak of the Great Dao. Understand?”

The Big Black Dog glared at Ye Wuming, scolding him for not living up to expectations.

“I…”

Hearing the Big Black Dog’s words, Ye Wuming was speechless.

He understood the reason (Dao).

But the problem was that even Saints had a near-certain death in this Peerless Ominous Land.

How could he not be scared?

He was just a small Cultivator in the Nirvana Realm!

Especially, based on his previous experience exploring some Ruins.

Presumably, upon entering this Peerless Ominous Land, everyone would be teleported to different locations, right?

Thinking of this, Ye Wuming felt a chill down his spine.

“Let’s go!”

Shaking his head with a light laugh, Tang Tian said.

“Yes!”

Subsequently, the group swaggered away, flying towards the Peerless Ominous Land with lightning speed.

Along the way, Tang Tian and his group encountered virtually no Cultivators.

Perhaps, it was because of the Peerless Ominous Land’s notorious reputation?

Therefore, no Cultivator had the courage to investigate?

“It seems we underestimated this Peerless Ominous Land a bit!”

Before long, Tang Tian and his group arrived in a desert.

Seeing the surrounding scenery, Tang Tian said with a myriad of emotions.

Coincidentally, everyone nodded in agreement.

Whether it was Tang Tian’s five companions or the Big Black Dog, all of them had eyes full of shock.

Before them, this boundless desert was actually enveloped by a sky-filling blood-red mist.

These blood-red mists emitted extremely powerful killing energy.

Furthermore, there were violent energy fluctuations permeating the air.

Cultivators with slightly weaker wills would probably collapse directly, right?

However, Tang Tian and his group did not intend to stay long; they flew directly into the depths of the desert.

The further they went, the denser the surrounding blood-red mist became.

At the same time, the surrounding energy also became stronger and more violent.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the first person to be affected appeared.

Ye Wuming!

At this moment, his eyes had already turned blood-red.

He was already on the verge of Qi Deviation.

Without any hesitation, the Big Black Dog swiftly knocked Ye Wuming unconscious.

“So weak!”

Pursing its lips, the Big Black Dog grumbled.

Beside him, Ouyang Lang tacitly carried Ye Wuming on his shoulder.

“Let’s keep going!”

Since they had already come, Tang Tian naturally had no intention of giving up halfway.

However, seeing some of the surrounding scenes, even with Tang Tian’s strong psychological fortitude, he felt a wave of discomfort.

Along the way, there were corpses of Cultivators from various races everywhere.

Moreover, these corpses appeared to have suffered extreme pain before death.

Every corpse looked extremely gruesome.

“These guys don’t look like they died from Qi Deviation!”

Frowning, White Sha said.

Similarly, Hei Sha also nodded in agreement.

Then, everyone tacitly looked at the Big Black Dog.

This fellow’s background was quite astonishing; surely it must know something?

“These Cultivators indeed did not die from Qi Deviation!”

“They all died because their Souls were devoured!”

“Presumably, it’s the Ancient Vicious Beast inside this Peerless Ominous Land causing trouble?”

“I just don’t know what kind of Ancient Vicious Beast this is?”

Shaking its head, the Big Black Dog said unhurriedly.

Immediately, Tang Tian and the other three were stunned.

Devouring Souls?

What kind of Ancient Vicious Beast is so sinister?

“Even you can’t tell its origin?”

Looking at the Big Black Dog, Tang Tian asked with a hint of confusion.

“Is that so strange?”

“There are plenty of Ancient Vicious Beasts in the world capable of doing that!”

Letting out a breath, the Big Black Dog said faintly.

Hearing the Big Black Dog’s words, Tang Tian was speechless.

However, he also had no intention of dwelling on it too much.

Advance!

The group continued to move forward!

An hour later, Tang Tian and his group finally arrived at the entrance of the Ancient Ruins.

This place truly deserved to be called a Peerless Ominous Land.

Just around this blood-red passage, there were many corpses.

Without exception, they were all existences above the Quasi-Sage Realm.

Seeing the ground littered with corpses, Tang Tian and the others felt a bit numb.

“How about?”

“You all wait here?”

“The Big Black Dog and I will go into this Ancient Ruins to take a look?”

Scanning the group, Tang Tian suggested.

“No!”

“I’ll pass! I don’t want to go into this Ancient Ruins.”

What Tang Tian hadn’t expected was that the first to object was actually the Big Black Dog.

Seeing this, Tang Tian and the others were a bit slow to react.

All this time, wasn’t this fellow lawless?

Why did it seem a bit timid now?

“This place makes me feel threatened!”

“An unprecedented threat!”

Sighing, the Big Black Dog said with a bitter smile.

“Besides Brother Tian, I don’t recommend them going in.”

With that, it looked at Black and White Shuangsha and the others with serious eyes.

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Young Clan Leader also be in danger?”

Frowning, White Sha said with concern.

“Are you underestimating Brother Tian’s spiritual pet too much?”

“This Lord can tell you responsibly, this Ancient Vicious Beast might be very fierce.”

“But, with Brother Tian’s spiritual pet, it absolutely won’t be a problem for Brother Tian to retreat safely.”

Rolling its eyes, the Big Black Dog said with certainty.

The Big Black Dog’s words left Black and White Shuangsha and Ouyang Lang a bit stunned.

Wait!

Is the Young Clan Leader’s (Master’s) spiritual pet really that fierce?

Terrifying!

Then what is the origin of his spiritual pet?

Judging by the Big Black Dog’s tone, his spiritual pet was clearly much more powerful than it!

Thinking of this, the three of them stared at each other.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll go into this Ancient Ruins to take a look!”

Waving his hand, Tang Tian said.

Without any hesitation, he flashed directly towards the entrance of the Ancient Ruins.

Besides smiling bitterly, what else could Black and White Shuangsha say?

Originally, they had wanted to persuade Tang Tian to be more cautious.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

“This is definitely not a problem, right?”

Looking at the Big Black Dog, White Sha asked.

“It’s fine!”

“…”
