Chapter 490

The bamboo hat man's display of strength made everyone pay more attention to him.

The older sister of the twins was also at the peak of the initial stage of the Origin Realm. She was a sword user, but her strength wasn't as good as the bamboo hat man.

"The Origin Realm malicious ghosts are here."

Wan Baoguang reminded.

Three malicious ghosts that were larger than normal ghosts were shrouded in a chilling fog. They brought along a group of spirits and pounced over.

Origin Realm malicious ghosts were even more powerful in such a place.

One of them pounced towards Wan Baoguang who was the most eye-catching.

The second one went for the twin sisters.

The third one went for Chen Yu.

"Keke, this kid is probably finished."

As the twin sisters looked at Chen Yu, their lips curled up into sneers.

These types of spirits were the nemesis of physical cultivators.

They were immune to physical attacks and mysterious spiritual attacks. How could a physical cultivator who only knew how to strengthen his body be a match for these ghosts?

"This guy has his eyes on me."

Chen Yu looked at the malicious ghost. It was dressed in a grey robe and had two claws extended out. Its head was missing and its face was covered in blood.

What's more, this Origin Realm malicious ghost had a few elite Qi Transformation Realm ghosts beside it.

Without exposing his true strength, Chen Yu would have a hard time dealing with them. Hence, he decided to focus on defense.

They were a team. The others couldn't leave Chen Yu alone. After they dealt with the enemies, they had to help Chen Yu.

With this plan in mind, Chen Yu decided to slowly deal with this group of malicious ghosts without attacking them.

Boom! Boom!

Chen Yu brandished his giant sword and forced back some of the ghosts while weakening their attacks.

Even if some spiritual attacks hit Chen Yu, with his intermediate stage Origin Realm spiritual power, he was completely fine.

"I forgot. This kid said that he consumed a soul spirit type treasure and his soul spirit is stronger. Normal soul spirit attacks wouldn't be able to hurt him."

The charming older sister of the twins remembered after noticing Chen Yu's battle.

"The Origin Realm malicious ghosts are about to show their prowess."

The younger sister's cold voice echoed.

Howl!

The Origin Realm evil spirit let out a roar and spat out a cloud of black ghost mist. The black mist swirled and turned into a ghost face. It opened its mouth and rushed towards Chen Yu.

When this powerful mental attack approached, the jade pendant on Chen Yu's body released a layer of pure white halo that permeated his mind consciousness, giving Chen Yu a warm and comfortable feeling.

When the malicious ghost's attack arrived, it penetrated the pure white halo and its power was reduced by thirty to forty percent.

As for the remaining mental attacks, they rushed into Chen Yu's consciousness.

Chen Yu steadied his mind and defended with all his might to block this attack.

"This person actually has a mental defense treasure on him."

The twins were a little jealous and envious.

Not only had Chen Yu swallowed a soul-type treasure, but he also had such a defensive treasure. He must have had a great encounter.

Boom!

The Origin Realm malicious ghost's mental attack didn't hurt Chen Yu. He waved his claws and tore out a layer of black light.

Chen Yu waved his [Giant Ruler Sword] to reduce the power of the attack. The remaining attacks landed on Chen Yu's body and were all blocked.

The jade pendant on his body could only be activated once in a limited period of time. More and more ghosts were summoned by the Origin Realm malicious ghost, making it difficult to deal with them.

On the other side, the bamboo hat man was very relaxed. He waved his green ancient sword and killed one malicious ghost after another.

"Your sword skills are amazing. I am impressed!"

Chen Yu smirked and flew towards him.

"En?"

The bamboo hat man glanced at Chen Yu and saw that Chen Yu had attracted a group of malicious ghosts.

"I am also a sword user, but my sword skills are not as good as yours. I am here to learn a thing or two."

Chen Yu laughed.

The twins saw that Chen Yu lured the malicious ghosts to the bamboo hat man and couldn't help but curse at Chen Yu for being shameless.

"Keke."

The bamboo hat man laughed indifferently. It was hard to tell if he was happy or angry.

He didn't care too much and just killed the malicious ghosts around him. Although a portion of them were attracted by Chen Yu.

Those Origin Realm malicious ghosts didn't have high intellect and attacked randomly.

With the bamboo hat man sharing the burden, Chen Yu was much more relaxed.

At the same time, he was surprised that the bamboo hat man didn't say anything and didn't blame Chen Yu.

"Everyone, don't hide anymore. Let's explore the ruins and leave as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen events."

Wan Baoguang who was at the front whispered.

Immediately, he opened his mouth and released a strange sound wave that enveloped a malicious spirit in front of him. It caused its body to freeze, tremble, and howl a few times.

Taking this opportunity, Wan Baoguang and the short man launched their attacks. The power was much stronger than before.

On the other side, the twin sisters released a powerful water and fire sword intent and integrated it into their sword moves.

Sword intent could attack the spiritual level. With the two of them working together, their combat strength was even stronger. The Origin Realm malicious ghost kept on retreating and screaming.

As for the bamboo hat man, just like the twin sisters, he released his sword intent to amplify his attacks and affect the spiritual level.

Chen Yu mixed in with these people and occasionally attacked with his fists and palms.

At a certain moment, Chen Yu broke the stairs under his feet with a punch, revealing some black jade stones.

"Frosty Yin Stone."

Wan Baoguang took a glance and said, "No wonder these malicious ghosts are all lingering on these stairs. So this is the reason."

Frosty Yin Stone wasn't considered a precious item for Origin Realm martial artists.

But if the bottom of the stairs was filled with this type of jade stones, then the total value would be extremely high. But everyone's storage space was limited and they couldn't carry all these items away.

"Die!"

The twin sisters' attacks were swift and violent. Their fire and water swords were dazzling. That Origin Realm malicious ghost was severely injured. The two of them took the opportunity to unleash their killer move. Their treasure swords condensed a huge water and fire sword and attacked.

Boom!

The malicious ghost was blasted away by the twin sisters' sword light. Amidst the water and fire, it slowly dissipated.

Next, it was Wan Baoguang and the short man who dealt with the Origin Realm malicious ghost.

Wan Baoguang himself was extremely strong. Furthermore, he had the help of his companion who could also use spiritual attacks.

The last one to kill the malicious ghost was the bamboo hat man. He didn't use much of his strength but relied on his superb sword skills to suppress the Origin Realm malicious ghost and finally killed it.

After killing the three Origin Realm malicious ghosts, the rest was slightly easier.

Everyone killed their way to the bottom of the stairs and encountered another Origin Realm malicious ghost. They worked together to eliminate it.

After passing through this level of stairs, it was another dilapidated ruin that was relatively well-preserved.

Here, there were many preserved corpses. Some of the corpses had abnormally large skeletons and didn't look like humans.

"There are actually so many demonic race corpses here."

Wan Baoguang was surprised.

Other than the corpses, there were also quite a number of malicious ghosts. Although the numbers couldn't be compared to the ones on the top of the stairs, there were more Origin Realm malicious ghosts.

"Wan Baoguang, until now, we have only seen some Frosty Yin Stones. We haven't seen any other treasures."

The twin sisters saw this group of even stronger malicious ghosts and questioned at the same time.

"This is a relic, not an inheritance. Before we finish exploring it, who can be sure that there are treasures here or that there is nothing here?"

Wan Baoguang spread out his hands and put on an innocent look.

"Let's explore for a while more. If there is still nothing, we will retreat."

The short man with Wan Baoguang said.

They could be sure that this ruin belonged to the Yin Sifting Sect, but if the Yin Sifting Sect's people had looted this place before they left, they might not find anything.

But according to the records, there were plenty of treasures in the ruins. Everyone could only pray that their luck was good.

Thus, everyone started to fight with the malicious ghosts again.

This time, perhaps because everyone was a little anxious, they displayed a stronger combat strength than before. In a short while, all the malicious ghosts that blocked their way were killed.

After passing through this place, a dark golden hall appeared in front of them. Everyone's eyes lit up.

The places they had passed through before were all dilapidated. But this dark golden hall, although it looked a little tattered, it was still intact.

If that was the case, it could be that this building was more sturdy, or reinforced with arrays.

Then, there must be something important inside.

Years of treasure hunting experience told Wan Baoguang that it might be time to reap the rewards.

Everyone inspected the hall and didn't find anything wrong with it. They only found some weak and broken restrictions on the door.

"Wait a moment!"

As a veteran, Wan Baoguang had some understanding of arrays and restrictions.

This place had been around for a long time, so the restrictions on it were very weak. They were broken in a short while.

"Open!"

Wan Baoguang struck out his palm at the center of the hall door.

The powerful force caused the hall door to open.

Boom!

A crystal clear white light gushed out from the door along with a wave of dense heaven and earth energy.

Originally, this ruin was filled with baleful yin qi, making it very gloomy and uncomfortable.

Now that the enormous amount of heaven and earth energy rushed through, everyone felt refreshed.

Everyone's eyes widened. The small mountain of primal stones in the center of the hall attracted everyone's attention.

"So many … primal stones!"

The short man revealed a look of surprise, "At least a million …"

He was only at the initial stage of the Origin Returning Realm and a rogue cultivator. Even when he had the most primal stones, he didn't have more than a hundred thousand.

Inside the hall, the small mountain of primal stones was roughly estimated to be at least a million … …

This wasn't the end. Beside the primal stones, there were plenty of other precious ores and gems. They were colorful and dazzling. Everyone's heart couldn't help but speed up and didn't have the mood to identify them.

"There might be some ores that I need. Seems like I didn't come here for nothing."

Chen Yu smiled.

Furthermore, going into seclusion wasn't a solution. Occasionally, he would need to fight and explore the ruins to broaden his knowledge.

"There seems to be mid grade primal stones here. This trip wasn't wasted."

The bamboo hat man smiled too.

"One mid grade primal stone is equivalent to a hundred low grade primal stones. Seems like there are more primal stones here than what we see on the surface."

The younger twin sister, who was the colder one, smiled.

"Let's go!"

The twin sisters took the lead and walked in.

Wan Baoguang's expression changed slightly. He seemed like he was going to stop the twin sisters, but in the end, he didn't do anything. He followed behind the twin sisters and walked into the hall.

When the twin sisters stepped into the hall, they seemed to have sensed something. They suddenly lifted their heads and their expressions changed into fear.

Thud — —

The hall was very quiet just now. Perhaps it was because of the twin sisters' intrusion, there was a series of small and concentrated noises coming from the top.

Suddenly, hundreds of silver-black bugs flew down. They opened their sharp mouths and pounced towards the twin sisters.
