Chapter 593: Taboo Ruins

"I have finally arrived here."

Looking at the place before him, Wu Hao's expression was extremely solemn.

By this time, fifty full years had passed since he learned the news of the Origin Dao Fruit from Blood God Venerable.

Even with Wu Hao's immense strength, it still took him such a long time to reach the location of the ruins within Blood God Venerable's memories.

Although the space in front of Wu Hao seemed empty, under Wu Hao's perception, nothing could hide.

With a stomp of Wu Hao's foot, an intangible power surged out from within his body.

The space right in front of Wu Hao immediately trembled, then directly collapsed and reassembled, subsequently forming the entrance to a God Realm.

Yet watching this scene, Wu Hao's expression appeared exceptionally solemn.

This was because, according to Blood God Venerable's memories, when the other party encountered these ruins, there had been no concealment whatsoever.

In other words, something must have happened during this period of time, though Wu Hao did not know whether it was good or bad and could only go in to take a look first.

Wu Hao was confident that unless the mastermind who had attacked him when he previously made a Breakthrough to the Divine Emperor Late Stage made a move, he would have no rivals within the Divine Realm.

Soon, Wu Hao arrived before the gate of the ruins, and after making thorough preparations, he stepped into the gate of the ruins.

With a flicker of his figure, Wu Hao entered the ruins in the blink of an eye.

However, the moment he entered the ruins, Wu Hao's expression abruptly changed, and his figure vanished instantly.

The very next second after Wu Hao left, the place where he had previously stayed was annihilated in an instant.

After Wu Hao stopped, he finally looked toward the person who had just launched a sneak attack against him.

The opponent's physique was just like that of the Forbidden Clan members killed by Wan Ling previously, except that the patterns on the opponent's body appeared much deeper and more bewitching.

"It really is the Forbidden Clan, and an extremely powerful one at that."

Wu Hao thought to himself with an extremely solemn expression.

Although the cultivation system of the Forbidden Clan differed from that of the Divine Realm, one could roughly judge their Realm from their general display of strength.

From Wu Hao's perception and the opponent's performance during the recent attack, the opponent's strength was roughly at the God-Venerable Peak.

No wonder the previous Blood God Venerable had almost perished after entering this place!

Moreover, what was most important was that Wu Hao could tell the Taboo that had attacked Blood God Venerable previously was not this current Taboo.

"Regardless, I'll kill it first and talk later."

Wu Hao thought no more of this matter and directly charged toward the opponent, beheading it with just a single move.

Yet this slight commotion failed to cause any massive impact within the ruins, showing just how vast these ruins were.

Watching the opponent fall, Wu Hao looked around, his expression growing even more solemn.

Things had not been seen very clearly from Blood God Venerable's memories, and experiencing that intense impact firsthand after arriving at the ruins left a deep impression on Wu Hao.

The surroundings were filled with dense Forbidden Power.

Blood God Venerable had simply been lucky and possessed great strength; if a God King or even a God Emperor had entered this place instead, they likely would have been eroded by the Forbidden Power in less than three minutes.

Even now, Wu Hao could sense a wisp of Forbidden Power attempting to erode his body, though it was completely blocked by his own power.

However, according to Wu Hao's own estimation, if things continued like this for about a hundred million years, he might really end up being completely eroded.

"Forget it, let's check what the current situation is first. The Taboo I just killed shouldn't be the most powerful Taboo here."

Wu Hao thought to himself, then immediately searched the ruins for other Taboos.

Every single Taboo encountered by Wu Hao was sent on its way without exception.

Of course, Wu Hao did not forget to search their souls, but without exception, none of the Taboos possessed memories concerning the Forbidden Clan behind them.

Even if some had memories, they would instantly self-detonate right after he searched their souls—the kind of self-detonation even he couldn't stop.

Wu Hao attributed all of this to the Forbidden Clan behind the scenes not wanting their secrets to be discovered.

At this, Wu Hao felt somewhat a headache coming on.

His life creed was that knowing oneself and the enemy guaranteed victory in a hundred battles, yet right now, he couldn't gather any information about the Forbidden Clan at all, and they even possessed a certain degree of suppression against Myriad Paths.

Unless it was an entity with a profound foundation like Wu Hao, one could only rely on suppression in terms of strength and Realm to win.

Furthermore, Wu Hao hadn't obtained any useful information from the Divine Dragon remnant soul either; he only knew that the Forbidden Clan were invaders from outside the Divine Realm countless years ago, and apart from that, he knew nothing at all.

"I'll take it one step at a time."

Wu Hao sighed, then continued hunting down any Taboos he could see within the ruins.

However, what Wu Hao did not know was that deep within the ruins, three Taboos looked at him with expressions of horror and spoke in disbelief.

"Why is there such a terrifying entity entering the Origin Land now?!"

"Damn it, the other party's Realm has already reached the Divine Emperor Late Stage, and even if the three of us joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for him."

"Then what should we do? Can we only wait for death now?"

The three major Taboos had extremely unsightly expressions.

They were the most powerful entities among all the Taboos in these ruins.

According to the Divine Realm's classification of Realms, they were all existences at the Divine Emperor Early Stage.

Previously, Blood God Venerable had strayed into here and was toyed with by one of them, but they hadn't expected Blood God Venerable to somehow manage to escape by a fluke.

But soon, one of the Taboos spoke, its tone carrying a solemn air: "No, not necessarily. We don't necessarily have to just wait for death right now. Given the current situation, unless we set up the Three-Soul Abyss-Extinction Great Array, it is simply impossible for us to be the opponent's match."

Hearing the words of that speaking Taboo, the expressions of the other two Taboos shook as they said in disbelief: "Are you serious? If we set up the Three-Soul Abyss-Extinction Great Array, our best outcome will be having our Realms plummet, and our worst outcome I'm afraid will be the complete destruction of our Divine Souls with never any hope left."

"But we have no other choice now. Everything is for the Forbidden Clan!"

That Taboo said in an extremely firm tone.

The other two Taboos fell silent upon hearing this, and the Taboo that spoke earlier said once more:

"Besides, do you think we have the option to surrender? The Exalted Sovereign is watching us, after all. If we defend the dignity of the Taboo, perhaps the Exalted Sovereign will show mercy to us and bestow hope upon us."

"Hah, in that case, let's do it!"

The other two Taboos quickly stopped thinking too much and nodded in agreement.

Yet at this moment, Wu Hao was completely unaware that three Divine Emperor Realm Taboos in the dark were about to make a move against him.
