194: Chapter 193 The Remains of a Battle SaintDeep within the Dou Sheng Ruin, by a quiet little lake, the surface was as calm as a mirror, reflecting an ancient tree in the clear water.

In the center of the lake grew a strange tree with twisted and winding branches. On this tree grew an even stranger fruit; it was pitch black, yet it faintly emitted waves of mysterious soul energy.

”Oh, Chen Yang, is the important thing you mentioned this fruit on the tree?”

Xiao Yi Xian’s lively eyes were fixed on the fruit in the middle of the lake. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a charming smile as she softly asked Chen Yang. Her voice sounded exceptionally crisp and pleasant in the quiet environment.

Chen Yang nodded slightly, his eyes revealing how much he cherished this fruit. He patiently explained to Xiao Yi Xian, ”This fruit is called a soul infant fruit. It has miraculous effects for repairing the soul and replenishing the soul origin, making it an extremely precious high-grade medicinal ingredient.”

He paused slightly, a glimmer of emotion flashing in his eyes. ”Moreover, this fruit is very hard to find in the outside world; it is almost impossible to come by. Who knows how many years of growth this fruit has gone through here, yet it still hasn’t fully matured.”

”So that’s how it is.” Xiao Yi Xian gazed at the pitch-black fruit and murmured to herself. Afterward, her figure flashed like a light phantom as she flew directly toward the center of the lake.

With an elegant and fluid movement of her hand, she plucked the soul infant fruit and landed lightly beside Chen Yang. She handed the fruit to him with a sweet smile on her face and said, ”Here, for you.”

Chen Yang smiled as he took the fruit and carefully placed it into a prepared jade box. He knew full well the preciousness of this fruit; once its medicinal properties dissipated, its value would be greatly diminished.

After storing the fruit, powerful spatial energy surged around Chen Yang. The group tore through space once again, leaving the small lake and heading deeper into the Dou Sheng Ruin.

After Chen Yang and his group left, a timid snake head slowly emerged from the calm lake water.

The snake’s scales were rough, and its eyes held a sense of unwillingness and disappointment. As a Peak Dou Zong snake-type magical beast, it had guarded this little lake for countless years, just waiting for this fruit to mature.

Although it did not know exactly what use this fruit had, its instincts kept telling it that if it ate this fruit, it might be able to break through to the dream-like Dou Zun realm.

Over the years, it had repelled wave after wave of enemies trying to snatch the fruit here. However, with the arrival of Chen Yang and his group, it keenly sensed their objective—it was precisely the fruit it had guarded for many years and which was about to mature.

It had wanted to rush out of the lake and deliver a fatal blow to these uninvited guests, but the moment it prepared to act, the powerful bloodline suppression emanating from Zi Yan and Gu Yuena left it unable to move.

Its bloodline seemed to be screaming in terror, reminding it that these two women had extremely high bloodline levels and unfathomable strength, far beyond what it could contend with.

Helpless, it could only watch as Xiao Yi Xian plucked the fruit away. It had no way to stop her and could only sigh inwardly.

At this moment, Chen Yang and his group had already arrived in an ancient and magnificent hall.

The hall was empty and permeated with an aged atmosphere. In the center of the hall stood an ancient chair, and sitting quietly upon it was a skeleton.

”Could this be the master of this ruin, the skeleton left behind by a legendary Dou Sheng expert?”

Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Yuena exclaimed almost simultaneously. Their voices were filled with shock and awe. Even before approaching the skeleton, they could clearly feel the powerful pressure radiating from it.

Although this Dou Sheng expert had been dead for who knows how many years, the skeleton left behind could still emit such a powerful aura. This gave them a deeper understanding of what a true powerhouse was.

The white skeleton sat perfectly upright on the throne, its empty eye sockets staring straight at Chen Yang and his group as if it had crossed the boundaries of time and had been watching their every move all along.

Chen Yang took a jade bottle from his storage ring. Inside the bottle was the blood of a low-grade magical beast. This blood was the key for Chen Yang to trigger the final move left behind by this Dou Sheng expert—the Heaven Tier Low Grade Dou Technique, ”Great Creation Palm”.

Chen Yang was also very curious and wanted to test the power of this Dou Technique from an ancient Dou Sheng expert, to see just how strong the Dou Sheng experts of that era were.

Chen Yang flicked his finger slightly, and a drop of bright red blood, like a shooting star, tore through space and landed precisely on the white skeleton.

As the blood dripped down, the skeleton instantly absorbed it.

In an instant, a strange red light lit up in the previously empty eye sockets, staring fixedly at Chen Yang.

The white skeleton slowly stood up. Its movements were stiff and slow, as if it were breaking free from the shackles of time.

Following that, it opened its fleshless mouth and let out a low, hoarse voice: ”Great - Creation - Palm!”

The skeleton slowly raised one of its hands. The white bone instantly turned dark gold, emitting a mysterious metallic luster.

In the center of its palm, a small black vortex slowly appeared, beginning to generate a massive suction force.

As the vortex continued to grow, everything in the entire palace began to be devoured by it. The floor tiles and the runes on the walls were all swept into it, emitting sounds of howling wind.

Chen Yang, however, remained calm. His expression was focused as he carefully felt the power of this Dou Technique.

He pondered to himself that the skeleton’s power could indeed kill a Dou Zun below seven stars with one strike, without any suspense.

But if it wanted to contend with a Peak Dou Zun expert, there was still a certain gap.

However, it was just a skeleton after all. The fact that a skeleton left behind by a Dou Sheng expert could possess such powerful lethality was enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of Dou Sheng experts.

”Four Seals Combined.”

Chen Yang raised his hand and shouted in a low voice. A small seal flew rapidly from his hand, emitting five-colored light as it collided with the Dou Technique unleashed by the skeleton.

”Boom!”

A loud explosion shook the heavens and earth, as if ancient thunder had detonated beside their ears.

Under this strike, the entire palace instantly turned into powder, dust flew, and smoke filled the air.

As the smoke gradually dispersed, everyone saw that the skeleton still maintained a standing posture. However, the red light in its empty eye sockets had vanished, as if its last trace of power had been exhausted in this clash.

Chen Yang waved his hand and stored the skeleton away. He turned to Xiao Yi Xian, Gu Yuena, and Zi Yan and said, ”Alright, this ruin exploration has ended perfectly. It’s time for us to go back.”

After saying this, he once again utilized powerful spatial energy, taking the three of them and disappearing into a spatial rift.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, numerous experts were still struggling to break through the barrier of the Dou Sheng Ruin.

They used all their abilities, continuously bombarding the barrier with various powerful Dou Techniques. However, this barrier was like a towering mountain, remaining unmoved.

Just as everyone was feeling despair, a huge explosion suddenly came from within the ruin.

This sound was like a thunderclap, instantly breaking the calm of the outside world. The moment everyone heard the explosion, they were shocked into standing frozen on the spot.
