The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 728: Yaoyao’s Grandfather Battles the Great Deity

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Since ancient times, the starry sky had never been shocked like it was today. The souls of all of the evolvers across the heavens and lands were throbbing today.

That was because a heaven-illuminator ranked war had erupted and some people had fallen, surpassing what had happened between the saints at that time. This time, members of the Deity Race and Netherworld Race were dying.

Usually, people would say that every race was focusing their attention on some military campaigns, but that was just a general saying; it was an impossible feat.

But now, the whole world really turned their attention to this war. As long as the planet had evolvers and as long as the area had interstellar Internet coverage, everyone from every land across the cosmos was following this war closely.

No one would’ve thought that the silence that had prevailed since ancient times would be broken in this manner. Even an expert almost at the heaven-illuminator had fallen after someone had swallowed him in one gulp.

When the news spread and that scene appeared before everyone’s eyes, the evolvers from every region were petrified. They were emitting cold air from their heads to their feet; all of them were frightened.

That majestic demonic physique with that unrivaled attitude swallowed the Deity Race’s up-and-coming talented youngster in one mouthful—just what kind of sight was that? Countless people trembled in fear.

Furthermore, that big shot from Netherworld Race was harboring a grudge, too. Yaoyao’s grandfather had torn off his arms and legs and used them as a weapon against the Great Deity.

Above all, this mysterious expert wasn’t from the top ten nor was he from a powerful race in the cosmos. Rather, he was from a declining land.

This stunned everyone because from an outsiders’ perspective, what hope did an ancient planet have left? It had wasted away a long time ago and even its forebearers had been completely wiped out

Yet today, he gave everyone a ‘nice surprise’, an earth-shattering one at that!

In the galaxy, the golden light covering the Great Deity’s whole body stretched millions and millions of kilometers. His whole being was simply too bright. When one reached their rank, it was very difficult to cast armors for them. They were all formed of energy because they lacked that grade of material to do so.

A smidgen of mother gold was simply not enough!

They used their rare and precious divine materials on weapons.

However, the Great Deity was wearing a kind of armor that resembled gold yet wasn’t gold and resembled stone yet wasn’t stone. Tightly packed runes appeared on his physique which made his whole body appear divine and glaring.

He didn’t look old at all; he had the face of a middle-aged man with fair skin, long and narrow golden eyes that terrified people, as well as a head of long, golden hair that draped over his shoulders like a galaxy.

His body was sufficiently enormous and saying he was able to support both heaven and earth was not enough to describe his physique. Those planets looked very small around him; they weren’t even as big as his fingernails.

This person was overflowing with golden light which turned into a protective light around him. It was as though it could withstand numerous attacks yet remain immortal and would never fall!

Bang!

The duo collided fiercely because Yaoyao’s grandfather attacked with the intent to kill once he charged up. His eyes were red and his heart was filled with boundless anger and hatred.

At this moment, a huge explosion occurred in the starry sky. Borderless energy boiled and rushed forth like a starry sea that was boiling.

Whoosh!

The Great Deity moved his body horizontally. He was a little taken aback as he stared at this bold and powerful demonic god who was covered in long, black fur from head to toe.

At this moment, he clearly knew who the other party was!

“That year, you were absent from that battle. I never would’ve thought that you’re actually still alive!” The Great Deity’s long and narrow golden eyes sharpened like two rays of Milky Ways that released immortal radiance; it was extremely terrifying.

Although he had yet to fully unleash it, he exuded an imposing aura. Murderous intent was boiling in his heart because their race’s up-and-coming talented youngster was done for. He couldn’t feel that person’s life force anymore.

Bloodstains dotted the corners of Yaoyao’s grandfather’s lips. He spat out a few fish bones; it was obvious that he had eaten the person alive. A Deity Race bloodline with boundless prospects had been eliminated.

“Attack!”

The Great Deity was furious. His armor and body stuck together, overflowing with inexhaustible golden light. He took the initiative to attack with the intent to eliminate this existence that was as crazy as a demonic god.

Roar!

Yaoyao’s grandfather was attacking too but in an even more frenzied manner. He turned the humanoid weapon in his hands and threw it at the Great Deity.

This was a big shot from the Netherworld Race. He wasn’t completely dead, but he was very miserable. His spirit had split up into pieces, but it was being imprisoned within his body. He couldn’t escape at all.

He bore resentment in his heart, but more so of grievance. The Great Deity had arrived a long time ago, but he didn’t set out to save him. What made him feel particularly sad was that the heaven-illuminator was such a grand existence, yet in the end, he faced such a cruel fate. Yaoyao’s grandfather used him as a humanoid weapon and swung him about. This was an unprecedented event.

If he died like this, he would really be too sullen. There had never been a big shot that was in such dire straits before. When those from the later generations mentioned him, there naturally wasn’t going to be anything favorable to say.

Bang!

Yaoyao’s grandfather’s battling instincts were too impressive. His control over his attack route and the attacks he unleashed during crucial moments was very impressive. It didn’t resemble a person who had lost himself at all.

He attacked, dodging the Great Deity’s palm. His personal ‘single-legged bronze figured lance’ effectively and mightily attacked the enemy’s proximity.

The Great Deity had a chilly gaze. He didn’t care about whether the big shot from the Netherworld Race lived or died at all. A blindingly gold long sword appeared in his hands. Pfft! He hacked forth.

“Great Deity, you...” The fury of the big shot from the Netherworld Race charged through the firmaments. But his spirit’s roar couldn’t be transmitted because the Great Deity intentionally concealed it.

At this moment, that sword light was as bright as now. In just a moment, it sliced through the Netherworld Race expert’s body. Blood and flesh flew about, almost cutting his chest open completely.

The Great Deity was cold-hearted—he didn’t treat him as a living being at all, but rather he viewed him as a weapon that was attacking him. The might of a single sword that had rule runes circulating about almost scraped him until he was nothing but a human skeleton.

It had to be mentioned that the body of a heaven-illumination expert was tenacious and immortal as well as abnormally frightening. His body could withstand a sword like this; not only did his bones not shatter completely, but his body was still intact.

This was how Yaoyao’s grandfather’s battling strength defied the heavens because he could tear him apart while he was still alive and under such grief and indignation.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

In a split second, more than ten thousand rays of sword light swelled from the Great Deity’s back—Deity Sword after Deity Sword appeared continuously. His murderous aura completely massacred this entire galaxy.

A few planets immediately exploded in a flash while a few celestial bodies turned into shooting stars. They left their original orbit and flew out. Stars were hectically flying about over here.

The Great Deity was one of the main culprits who led the attack on Earth during ancient times. He had even joined forces with a few people and killed Yaoyao’s father. But now, he didn’t feel any guilt because the descendant of his clan had died tragically. He was itching to wipe all the natives on that dark blue planet clean. But more so, he wanted to exterminate the old man before his eyes!

“I killed your son and let others exterminate your granddaughter. What can you do about it? Does a crazy monster like you think you can kill me!?” roared the Great Deity. Battle aura violently rushed forth as he attacked forwards.

In an instant, everlasting sword light flowed out. He was known as the Great Deity and held that title in his race, even bearing the word Great in his title. So naturally, his abilities were boundlessly fearsome. This was an existence that was genuinely ranked as the cosmos’ overlord.

Womp!

Starlight was pouring down in torrents, and the cosmos was trembling. He moved forth while attacking. The attack from his sword dissipated everything; various celestial bodies were being smashed to bits and turning into fine powder. This scene was too terrifying.

What happened was practically inexplicable. The long sword in his hand along with over ten thousand rays of various colored Deity Sword light behind him swept over. He let out a long whistle as air swallowed the galaxy.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Not only did the single-legged bronze figured lance in Yaoyao’s grandfather’s hands have his flesh scraped off this time, but his bones were also breaking apart too. The Deity Sword hacked him until he was beyond recognition.

In the end, the big shot from the Netherworld Race let out an anguished howl. His body kept turning smaller, and it gradually disappeared. His soul was breaking down too.

Bang!

In the end, this big shot was clamped between two experts following Yaoyao’s grandfather’s grand fist attack. His entire being’s spirit core light ball and part of his disabled body split up into pieces before exploding!

In a split second, various illusions shone brilliantly as bloody rain poured down in torrents. Black Netherworld flowers blossomed and countless ghostly soldiers were crying and bawling. Spirit corpses and demonic bodies fell, too.

Naturally, these were all illusions; it wasn’t a real scene. They were all formed from energy.

A person of this rank was a true heaven-illuminator worshiped by many civilizations. Once he died, it was just as though the sky had collapsed and the earth had caved in.

As a result, anomalies started occurring on the altars of many powerful races in an unknown number of regions. The mark this big shot from the Netherworld Race left shattered into small pieces before exploding.

At the same time, chilly winds started blowing on these altars and bloody rain started falling ineffably.

This was an expert at the heaven-illumination realm—it was this terrifying even after they died once they had been worshiped and had divine altars raised. They were capable of strongly affecting the entire cosmos.

In comparison, that up-and-coming talented youngster hadn’t reached this level!

“Ahhhh!”

In the Netherworld Race’s ancestral land under a desolate cemetery that was drowned in endless corpses. Since ancient times, no one was allowed to set foot in this place.

But today, ghosts cried and spirits bawled. An ancient monster that was deep in sleep was roused, and it kept howling without end like a malicious spirit returning from hell.

In the galaxy, the Great Deity didn’t mind it one bit. When he was at war with Yaoyao’s grandfather, the two of them struck down the expert at the heaven-illumination realm from the Netherworld Race together. He didn’t feel guilty in the slightest.

One had to look at the time when it came to what was called allies. How did he dare to be distracted and save his so-called ally when faced with such a frightening enemy? Moreover, an up-and-coming talented youngster from their Deity Race had died. If a big shot from the Netherworld Race didn’t die, the balance would be broken. The race ranked eleven could possibly threaten their place as the ‘old tenth’!

Pchhht!

It had to be said that the Great Deity was too terrifying. With such a title and the exceptional lethal weapon, Deity Sword, he really possessed matchless fighting strength.

The long golden sword danced like countless bolts of lightning interweaving with each other. It lit up the pitch-black cosmos and tore the eternal starry sky apart!

Pfft!

Finally, over ten thousand wisps of sword light swelled from his back. Following which, he brandished his sword and hacked forward. A ray of sword light cut Yaoyao’s grandfather’s underbelly and blood cascaded from that region.

Bang!

However, Yaoyao’s grandfather smashed out with his fist at the same time, and Yang qi flared up as it landed on the long sword.

“Monster, you don’t have an ultimate weapon. You’re toast!” Even though the Great Deity was wounded, he still had some confidence in his heart because his opponent had lost his bearings. In the end, he lacked some ‘halo’ that needed to be exhibited in battle. The terrifying weapon that stood between them shook so hard that the Great Deity coughed out blood and fell very far back.

Added on to the fact that the other party didn’t have an extremely powerful weapon at hand, his opponent was destined to face a disastrous end!

Roar!

Yaoyao’s grandfather roared and a cluster of stars shook in a disorderly manner. Some of them even streamed down and exploded.

He was accumulating Yang qi. A large halberd formed in his hand. In a split second, he turned peerlessly tyrannical. His Yang qi turned into a battle halberd and he hacked forward immediately. This was the Heavenly Halberd Nine Forms battle technique!

“Old fellow, did you know that I personally chopped off your son’s head at the very last moment that time?” The Great Deity purposely aggravated Yaoyao’s grandfather.

He felt that even though this person had lost his bearings, he ought to have some consciousness in his heart and could sense everything that was happening in the outside world. If not, it was unlikely for him to be able to fight like this.

So he wanted to provoke Yaoyao’s grandfather and uncover what happened behind the scenes during the bloody battle that happened at that time.

“I have to admit, your son was very strong and incomparably breathtaking. He was already a heaven-illuminator at such a young age. As such, we old folks really feared that he would reach the apex and no one could control him. That kind of feeling at the exact moment when I cleaved his head and bathed in his hot blood was extremely splendid!” said the Great Deity indifferently as a cruel smile hung on the corner of his lips.

Roar!

Bloody tears dripped from the corner of Yaoyao’s grandfather’s eyes again. He dispersed his large energy halberd and used the Yang realm’s fist. The fist was like hundreds of suns emitting heat as surges of Yang qi boiled. He violently attacked like he had gone mad.

Bang, bang, bang!

His fist collided with the ultimate weapon. He still didn’t retreat when his palm was bleeding, but rather he violently attacked.

“I want to chop your head off today, too, so that you can be reunited with your son!” shouted the Great Deity as he smiled scornfully.

Pcht!

When another ray of blade light flashed by, a stream of blood cascaded down from Yaoyao’s grandfather’s shoulder without end. It almost struck his neck.

Bang!

All of a sudden, Yaoyao’s grandfather’s fist completely changed—it was like a phoenix bathing in fire as flames and divine light sprang from his back, emitting the cry of a phoenix.

The dao induction breathing technique combined with a kind of divine technique from the Yang realm that belonged to the Phoenix Race appeared here. With a bang, his attack shook the Great Deity to the point he was sent flying and blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth.

“I don’t believe you can contend against me without an ultimate weapon!” roared the Great Deity.

The effect was too tremendous with the addition of the ultimate weapon. When one reached this rank, their battle strength could soar if they possessed this kind of supreme weapon!

Bang!

The next moment, the phoenix’s shadow reappeared. Yaoyao’s grandfather utilized the dao induction breathing technique to use the Phoenix Race’s divine technique and had actually turned almost unstoppable.

The Great Deity coughed out blood again!

It was right at this time that the sound of metal chains suddenly came from within Yaoyao’s grandfather. Following which, a Mother Gold Divine Chain with tightly packed runes on top of it came out from his body, emitting immortal light. He abruptly swung the Mother Gold Divine Chain and swept it over at the Great Deity.

Clank!

The expression on the Great Deity’s face changed as he used the Deity Sword to block the Mother Gold Divine Chain.

However, a fearsome scene took place. The runes on the Mother Gold Divine Chain was extremely dazzling which could even make an almighty heaven-illuminator feel incomparable stabs of pain. That Yang qi rolled over in an incomparably terrifying manner.

One had to bear in mind that even Yaoyao’s grandfather was helpless in the face of this Mother Gold Divine Chain, too. The Yang realm’s supreme almighty had planted it in his body when he was young and had engraved a supreme rune on it.

Krrk! The Great Deity’s ultimate weapon, the Deity Sword, broke.

Not only that, Yang qi attacked him. It was too dense which made the Great Deity feel acute pain on his palm that was too much to bear. His palm crackled after the Yang qi corroded it and it was as if his palm was going to melt.

Bang! He disposed of the broken Deity Sword and it fell into the starry sky.

Naturally, a small chunk of the mother gold had broken apart, too, but it didn’t have much effect. This mother gold chain was always growing, and its purpose was to be used for harvesting more of it.

Roar!

Yaoyao’s grandfather pounced forth and grabbed the Great Deity’s arm.

“Get lost!” shouted the Great Deity when he sensed trouble.

Even so, how could he possibly break away at this time? Pfft! Yaoyao’s grandfather was physically exerting himself as he tore apart the Great Deity’s deity armor with his bare strength. He did it so forcibly that blood kept flowing from that arm and it was going to break off.

The Great Deity let out a blood-curdling shriek. He looked up at the sky and let out a long howl as he released endless runes to counter Grandfather Yaoyao’s attack.

Bang!

However, Grandfather Yaoyao’s severe attack struck him. The fist mark it left on him was as big as the sun and a phoenix covering the sky; it was so powerful that it penetrated his armor!
