Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7618

Chapter 7533: Ruins!

“Let’s go. I, Wan Yao, have never been afraid. It’s not like we’re going to our deaths. At most, we’ll just be eliminated. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Xiang Qin nodded in agreement. “I’ll listen to you all. If you all go, how can I stay outside?”

Li Tianming nodded in satisfaction, seeing that the others were quite determined. But when he looked at Ji Xuanjian, it was a completely different scene.

Ji Xuanjian was already ahead, grabbing Li Tianming’s wrist and cursing, “What’s with all the fuss? Let’s go!”

Wan Yao and the others exchanged glances, but quickly followed.

Whoosh!

The five of them stepped directly into the outermost colorful star ring of this interstellar ruin, their figures immediately obscured.

Only then did Li Tianming realize that the colorful star ring was actually composed of mist.

Some panicked when they couldn’t see the others.

“Brother Tianming, where are you?” Wan Yao called out through the mist.

“Over here!” Li Tianming replied.

Fortunately, it was merely a matter of obscuring vision; no illusions were created.

Soon, the group regrouped. Ji Xuanjian hadn’t let go of Li Tianming’s hand at all, so he didn’t get lost. The

others formed a chain, holding hands, with Huangfu Yu eventually pulling on Li Tianming’s shoulder.

The five of them now formed a human centipede, advancing through the universe.

“Be careful, there seem to be some lurking things here. Don’t hold on too tightly if necessary; just don’t run around when you let go,” Li Tianming patiently advised.

During their advance, Li Tianming occasionally heard the booming sounds of Dao Calamities.

Unknown dangers are often the most terrifying. Losing sight could easily lead participants into areas of chaotic cosmic ray bursts.

These cosmic rays are common in desolate star systems, acting like a swamp for cultivators. Once contacted, these rays not only fail to benefit the cultivator but also erode their divine seed, gradually rendering them immobile until they are completely burned to death.

Of course, the dangers extend far beyond this.

Just as Li Tianming and the others seemed to be groping their way forward in the colorful star mist circle…

Suddenly!

Ji Xuanjian cried out in surprise, seemingly flustered.

At that moment, Li Tianming pulled him back, and due to the angle of the pull, Ji Xuanjian crashed directly into Li Tianming’s arms.

“What happened?”

“What’s going on?”

The group immediately became alert, with Wan Yao and Huangfu Yu asking in unison.

“It seems… it seems there’s a broken Dao array, but I couldn’t see what level it was,” Ji Xuanjian said, sounding somewhat shaken. “It’s alright

, the Dao array wasn’t triggered. Let’s just carefully avoid it,” Li Tianming said.

At this moment, Ji Xuanjian also left his embrace. Under the veil of mist, not only was his expression unclear, but Wan Yao and the others couldn’t even tell what distance had just passed between the two.

This was indeed a slight oversight on Li Tianming’s part. While the silver dust could cover most of the field of vision, it was indeed difficult for it to penetrate Dao arrays.

However, there was a solution: to avoid the area with the Dao array.

In short, as long as their final destination was within the interstellar ruins, that was all that mattered.

The group proceeded even more cautiously through this completely obscured area, where even external images were lost.

This sight caused Ji Ziling some anxiety, as she didn’t know Ji Xuanjian’s condition.

After some time…

finally, Li Tianming and the others passed through the outermost moat of the interstellar ruins, a colorful mist.

Their vision suddenly opened up, revealing a city that, even in its past glory, was still faintly discernible!

The city was a scene of ruins, riddled with the ravages of destruction. The

already dilapidated city itself, coupled with the harsh environment after the annihilation of the star system, meant it was constantly being corroded.

However, unlike what Li Tianming and the others had just experienced, this place, while more dangerous and containing many broken Dao formations that could collapse at any moment, was mostly visible in the open.

But this doesn’t mean we can walk through it safely. At most, we won’t be too worried, going from being eliminated by accidentally stepping on some danger to being attacked by the rampaging Dao Calamities or even Dao Beasts and Dao Plants.

“This should be the true face of the interstellar ruins. Let’s go in.” Ji Xuanjian still hadn’t let go of Li Tianming’s hand and swaggered over.

Li Tianming nodded slightly and was just about to step forward as well.

“Wait!”

He was about to lead the five good boys in when he suddenly stopped them, because Yin Chen had suddenly sent new information.

Ji Xuanjian and Wan Yao were puzzled, but they didn’t speak yet.

In that pitch-black environment, Li Tianming had made several decisions, leading the team out of the fog. They already greatly admired Li Tianming’s decision-making abilities.

Li Tianming then offered an explanation, saying, “Let’s walk around this interstellar ruin first. The main entrance of a city usually has the most powerful Dao array. If it’s safe, that’s fine, but if there’s a risk of collapse, plus other Dao disasters and other dangers, we could all be in trouble.”

It was a reasonable explanation, and Ji Xuanjian and the others had no objections. So, instead of rushing in, they walked around the outside.

Of course, the real reason was that Yin Chen discovered two teams searching for treasure within the ruins.

This was the fundamental reason that drove Li Tianming to change his mind.

While they were searching for other entrances, Yin Chen was also investigating these people’s backgrounds.

Although Li Tianming possessed considerable strength, he didn’t dare claim to be invincible. Moreover, his team included Ji Xuanjian, who was hiding his true strength, and several others; the entire team was far from being the strongest.

Therefore, Li Tianming would not enter the arena until he understood the strength and identities of the others.

While searching for other entrances, Li Tianming also encountered some surprises.

“These ruins are larger than I expected, at least the size of a level nine star system, roughly a hundred thousand light-years in diameter,” Li Tianming thought to himself.

During this process, he didn’t see any other teams.

Even though the obscured view opened up slightly, visibility was still limited in this chaotic space, and danger lurked everywhere.

Of course, poor visibility was actually an advantage for Li Tianming, because his route could all be explained by ‘luck’.

Those watching the battle through the images on the Qianfeng Ring couldn’t tell at all how many dangers Li Tianming and his group had avoided.
