Chapter 23: Heavenly Sword Sect World Ruins
After joining the Supernatural Administration Bureau,
Xu Xi already knew.
What descended upon Earth were not just all kinds of supernatural lifeforms, but also fragments from supernatural worlds, carrying otherworldly landscapes, buildings, and so on.
These otherworldly fragments were officially named [World Ruins].
The hidden value of World Ruins was extremely high; by studying them, one could decipher more information about supernatural systems and even obtain unique supernatural products from within.
The reason why the variety of goods in the Supernatural Home was so abundant…
…was largely because they were obtained from World Ruins.
However, the appearance of World Ruins did not necessarily mean it was a good thing. Some World Ruins were highly dangerous; not only was it difficult to profit from them, but they also caused harm to the vicinity of their landing.
What Xu Xi had to face now was precisely such a special case.
"It's actually a Cultivation-side World Ruins."
The outskirts of Yanshan City.
After receiving a message from Zhang Yaoguo,
Xu Xi rushed here at his fastest speed.
Looking from afar, the azure sky was shrouded in blood rain, and mountains of corpses and seas of blood were faintly visible through the rain, filled with nameless dread and overwhelming horror.
It was hard to imagine exactly how many people had died within the World Ruins…
…for such a Rakshasa ghost domain to form.
Vaguely, Xu Xi could see that the clothing on some of the corpses inside the World Ruins was very similar to the Cultivator attire he was familiar with.
"Could it be that the source of this World Ruins is that Cultivation World I simulated?"
"No, not necessarily. There's more than one Cultivation World."
Xu Xi gazed into the distance.
He observed for a long time.
Then he looked at Zhang Yaoguo beside him: "What's the situation now?"
"It's very bad," Zhang Yaoguo's expression was grave, and his face was incredibly grim. "This World Ruins appeared an hour ago and is expanding rapidly. If this continues, it will enter the Yanshan City area sooner or later."
"I've already requested reinforcements from the Main Bureau. Until then, everything depends on us."
Zhang Yaoguo's voice grew heavier.
Vigilant, apprehensive, and stifled.
This director of the Yanshan City Supernatural Administration Bureau, a middle-aged man who had dedicated most of his life to the country, subconsciously clenched his fists and stared straight at the indescribable sight of the World Ruins.
The World Ruins before them was too terrifying, with continuous blood rain and echoing ghostly wails.
Just a single glance at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood inside…
…would cause those with weak wills to lose the courage to oppose it.
More importantly, Xu Xi sensed a large amount of sinister Aura within, likely giving rise to some demons or ghosts.
Or perhaps the souls of those deceased Cultivators had turned into Ghost Cultivators.
"This is indeed tricky…"
Xu Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he was good at killing enemies above his level and the withered vine sword countered ghosts, there was ultimately a limit.
The scale of this blood-rain World Ruins before him was truly too massive.
He wondered which god of slaughter…
…had created such an exaggerated mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Fortunately, although this Yin Qi was startling, it was still within an acceptable range. Even if he couldn't eradicate the World Ruins, with Xu Xi's methods, he could still manage to escape safely.
Thinking of this, Xu Xi said to Zhang Yaoguo, "Have everyone below the Foundation Establishment Realm leave."
"This incident is too dangerous. Only supernatural beings at the Foundation Establishment Realm or above will have the ability to protect themselves in the World Ruins."
"Alright!" Zhang Yaoguo replied decisively. "You are a Golden Core Cultivator and more familiar with Cultivation-side World Ruins than we are. You can make the decisions on this."
Soon.
More than half of the supernatural beings gathered at the scene dispersed.
The remaining people…
…were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators or supernatural beings of the same level, such as Xiantian Martial Artists of the Martial Dao or Official Mages of magic.
Supernatural beings who reached this Realm had already moved past their greenhorn phase and could use their supernatural powers as they pleased.
They were considered reliable combatants.
Besides that…
Due to the overwhelming threat of this World Ruins, Director Zhang Yaoguo had also summoned another top combatant of the Yanshan City Supernatural Administration Bureau.
A Martial Ancestor powerhouse at the same level as a Golden Core Cultivator, who practiced Blood-Qi Martial Arts.
Wang Dali.
A muscular man who looked quite tall and sturdy.
"Hahaha! My super wisdom is telling me it's time to use my super strength to save the world!"
With a tall and strong build, powerful arms, and a steady gait like a heavy truck moving forward…
Wang Dali laughed loudly.
His voice was like a beating drum.
He walked up to Xu Xi, showed a row of big white teeth, and said heroically, "Long time no see, Brother Xu."
Xu Xi nodded: "Long time no see."
It wasn't the first time Xu Xi and Wang Dali had met.
Over the past month, they had crossed paths a few times at the Supernatural Administration Bureau.
To be honest, Xu Xi's impression of this big man was quite good; he was honest and upright, and his Aura as a Martial Artist was very strong.
He perfectly embodied the essence of Blood-Qi Martial Arts.
…
After resting for a moment and confirming their battle readiness, all the supernatural beings of the Yanshan City Supernatural Administration Bureau followed Xu Xi's lead and approached the World Ruins.
As the distance closed…
…the horror of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood became increasingly evident.
The sky and earth were dyed crimson, smelling foul and pungent. Red blood fell from the sky, quickly forming small puddles, within which lay the softened limbs of corpses.
Fascia was entwined, hair was tangled, and bone fragments were deeply embedded in rotting flesh.
"Ugh—!!!"
Within the team of supernatural beings…
…someone with a weaker mental capacity suddenly widened their eyes, clutched their chest, and vomited violently.
The scene before them challenged their very worldview.
One mangled corpse after another, in miserable states of death, were piled layer upon layer into a tall mountain of corpses, emitting an unimaginable stench.
Hatred, shock, anger, fear.
Countless complex emotions were visible on those blurred, rotting faces.
Making it impossible to imagine what had actually happened.
"Die—! Die—!"
A sudden change occurred.
Corpses filled with sky-high resentment suddenly moved, roaring as they lunged at the group, while lingering souls of Cultivators grinned hideously, attempting Possession of the supernatural beings' bodies.
Under Xu Xi's vigilance…
…these evil spirits and ghosts were directly slain by him.
However, the confusion on Xu Xi's face grew even deeper.
Xu Xi crouched on the ground and fished out a Cultivator's garment from the blood-water, his brows furrowed.
He was all too familiar with this clothing; when he finished his first simulation, the Demonic Cultivators who were his enemies wore these very clothes.
If he remembered correctly, it was a School called the Heavenly Demon Cult.
"Is there something wrong, Brother Xu?"
Wang Dali asked, remaining on guard.
"No, it's nothing. Let's keep moving."
Xu Xi shook his head and continued leading the team forward.
As they ventured deeper into the World Ruins, they used their respective supernatural powers to clear away the blood and corpses, preventing a vicious cycle from polluting the outskirts of Yanshan City.
But soon…
…Xu Xi made another unexpected discovery.
In a pool of blood, he found the corpse of a Heavenly Sword Sect Cultivator; both the attire and the waist token were exactly the same as in Xu Xi's memories.
A bold guess leaped into his mind.
"Is this the battlefield between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Cult?"
"The source of this World Ruins is that Cultivation World I simulated!?"
