Chapter 2002

Under the watchful eyes of all the cultivators in the city, Zi Chen's group of ten left. Everyone knew what they were going to do, and their expressions became very complicated.

That was the strongest shield, the most powerful Saint Weapon. Once it was reassembled, the person who obtained the shield would not need to fear even a Saint.

Everyone was unwilling to lose this opportunity. After seeing Zi Chen's group leave, some people also followed.

The place where the shield was located must be very mysterious. Perhaps there were some other opportunities.

There were quite a number of people with such thoughts, and there was no lack of Heaven-Defying Cultivators among them. Therefore, these people all followed.

The ten people in front naturally sensed that the people behind them were following them from afar, but they did not stop them.

"You guys are really persistent." Qing Feng turned around and looked at those people. When he saw a few familiar faces, he coldly smiled.

Behind them, there were six people who were very conspicuous. They were the six people who were about to join forces to deal with him.

These six people's positions were very close to the front, even among the Heaven-Defying Cultivators. Originally, they should have been closer to the front, but they had missed the opportunity. Naturally, they were unwilling to accept it.

Qi Wei also noticed the familiar people behind him, but he only shook his head and said, "It's useless. Even if they catch up, it's meaningless. Only the ten of us can pass through that place."

"Where is that place?" An Peng asked curiously.

This was once a secret, but now that everyone was preparing to go, it was naturally no longer a secret.

"In the Slaughtering Heaven Cave."

"Slaughtering Heaven Cave."

Hearing Qi Wei's words, An Peng's expression clearly changed. He cried out involuntarily, "Why is it that damned place? That place is said to be able to slaughter Heavenly Realm cultivators. Only Saints can enter. Rumor has it that it is connected to another world. Even Saints will be in danger if they enter rashly."

Lei Dong, Wu Xing, and Hei Long nodded. Zi Chen noticed that even Qing Feng's expression had become much more serious.

The first continent was mysterious to begin with. There were many hidden families, and at the same time, there were many dangerous places. However, the most famous one was undoubtedly the Slaughtering Heaven Cave.

Just from the name alone, one could tell that it was a black hole that slaughtered Heavenly Realm cultivators.

In the past, the First Continent did not have a Slaughtering Heaven Cave.

This had to be traced back to the last invasion of the foreign tribes. At that time, there were not so many Heaven Defying Cultivators in this world. It was just a battle between the foreign tribes and the Zhan Wu Continent. It was also a battle of the whole nation. All forces were united against the foreign tribes and were determined to drive the foreign tribes out.

In the middle of the battle, a mysterious relic suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield, which made both sides very surprised.

In this Zhanwu Continent, every time a relic appeared, it naturally represented some kind of great opportunity. Especially for the foreign races, they urgently needed this kind of opportunity.

As a result, the foreign races defeated the humans of the Zhan Wu Continent and forcibly occupied the ruins. Then, they constantly sent powerhouses to explore the ruins.

It had to be said that this relic was like a natural treasure trove. During this period of time, the non-humankind had discovered many good things.

There were incomplete Heaven-grade weapons, incomplete Heavenly Dao techniques, and many Heaven-grade materials. Apart from those Heaven-grade materials, there were also many other items required for cultivation.

As soon as they entered the ruins, they found such a good thing. The alien race thought that they had found a huge treasure, so they immediately sent more people to investigate.

During this period, the humans did not give up and continued to send powerhouses to attack.

In the process of exploring the ruins, the foreign races suffered great losses. During this period, they had to fight against the natives of the Zhan Wu Continent, so the death toll was increasing. It seemed that they could not hold on any longer. Fortunately, more reinforcements arrived in time.

Under the double pressure, they finally found the outside of the Slaughtering Heaven Cave. It was a big black hole, like a black hole in the void. Back then, it wasn't called this, it was just a black hole with a strange wind blowing.

After the first batch of foreign powerhouses entered, no one came out alive. At that time, most of those who went in were Supremes.

But the Supremes who were immortal and indestructible all died in that black hole.

Then, a fake Heaven led the team to explore, but it was still the same.

After that, there was also no news of the Heavenly Realm. After entering, it was unknown whether they were alive or dead.

Helpless, they could only send a large number of Heavenly Realm experts in. That time, they sent nearly a hundred Heavenly Realm experts, but in the end, only one came back with serious injuries. His whole body was covered in wounds as if he had been dismembered. Just one sentence and his soul was destroyed.

"The strange winds in the black hole can slaughter Heavenly Realm experts."

Thus, it was called the Slaughtering Heaven Cave. Since then, no Heavenly Realm experts dared to enter.

Because they concluded that there might be treasures inside, it attracted some Saints. It was said that Saints could pass through the Slaughtering Heaven Cave, but the foreign race Saints who went in quickly appeared and said that it was very dangerous inside.

Over time, no one went to explore there, so what was behind the Slaughtering Heaven Cave became a secret.

"How could it be that damned place? Even Saints are unwilling to enter that place."

Five Elements' face was a little pale. Although he was not from the First Mainland, he had heard of the Slaughtering Heaven Cave.

When the foreign races gave up on the Slaughtering Heaven Cave, humans also sent many powerhouses to explore, but the results were the same. There was even a family that was not crippled by the foreign races, but in order to force their way into the Dark Wind Cave, they lost too many powerhouses and completely declined.

That family had never risen. This time, when the foreign races invaded, they became the first family to be destroyed in the First Mainland. The one who destroyed this family was Gao Wei.

Looking at everyone's changing expressions, Gao Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry. That place may be a land of death for others, but it's not dangerous for us."

After hearing about the Slaughtering Heaven Cave, Zi Chen's expression became more serious. That place was said to be able to slaughter Heavenly Realm experts, and even Saints were wary of it. It was obviously very dangerous.

If Gao Wei did something in the cave, it would be very troublesome, and he might even die.

As he moved forward again, he became more vigilant in his heart.

After traveling at full speed for a few days, they arrived at the ruins that had appeared because of the great battle. Although many years had passed and the battlefield was completely covered by vegetation, the traces of the great battle were still very clear.

The mountain peak was split by a sharp blade, the giant mountain was broken in half, and the huge energy crater … There were too many traces of the great battle.

The ancient trees here were verdant and lush, but the exposed roots were all blood-red. There were many other plants here, and they were all blood-red. The same was true for the mountain rocks, as if they had been watered with blood.

"The great battle back then was very tragic. For the sake of the ruins, those forces went all out. Countless cultivators died here, and their blood almost formed a lake. In the end, the blood seeped into the ground, and this place became like this."

Seeing the confusion on Zi Chen's face, Black Dragon, who was not far away from him, said, "Those ancient trees are called Blood Tear Trees. Once the tree trunks are cut, the sap that flows out looks like blood tears."

Looking at the traces of the battle, Zi Chen felt as if he could see the tragic battle of the past. Regardless of whether it was for the sake of the ruins or to chase the alien race out of this world, the aboriginals at that time were so united.

The traces of the battle continued to extend. After traveling for another few dozen kilometers, Zi Chen saw a huge mountain rock that was more than five kilometers wide. At the center of it was a huge black hole.

Looking at the black hole, Zi Chen asked curiously, "Is that the Slaughtering Heaven Cave?"

"No, that's just the entrance to the ruins. Back then, this place was a huge mountain, and this mountain rock was the foundation of the mountain. However, the battle back then was too intense. Many Heaven Realm cultivators attacked, and a lot of energy shockwaves and vibrations fell. The huge mountain exploded, and finally revealed the black hole below."

Ahead, Ya Wei and the others had already reached the entrance of the cave and were looking inside.

Near the entrance of the cave, there were some blood-red thorns. They grew out of the mountain rocks, which showed their powerful vitality and sharpness.

"Come, let's go in."

Following Ya Wei's words, he was the first to enter the black hole.

Then, Zi Chen and the others entered the black hole one after another.

Behind them, those people who were unwilling to give up caught up. When they saw that everyone had entered the cave one after another, their expressions changed drastically.

The ruins in the cave had been discovered long ago. After so many years, who knew how many times it had been rummaged through. It had long lost its value. The only thing that had not been explored was the Slaughtering Heaven Cave.

Now that everyone had entered, it was obvious that they were here for the Slaughtering Heaven Cave.

"Could the complete shield be in the Slaughtering Heaven Cave?"

"Even Saints are wary of the Slaughtering Heaven Cave. How could they enter?"

"Could there be hidden ruins there?"

Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

If it was really in the Slaughtering Heaven Cave, then this time, they would have no chance at all. However, if there were undiscovered ruins inside, then they might be able to encounter some opportunities. Hence, they all rushed in.

Entering the black hole, Zi Chen saw many blood-red thorns along the way. These thorns seemed to have a life of their own. As the group moved forward, they began to wriggle and spread out like spiritual snakes.

Wherever the group passed, the thorns dispersed and automatically made a path for them.

Looking at Zi Chen's curious expression, Black Dragon said, "Don't be fooled by their obedient appearance. That's because they have sensed danger. If it were someone of another realm, these bloodthirsty thorns would have swarmed over. Even if there are no more ruins in this place, with these bloodthirsty thorns, only Immortals and Indestructibles can enter."

After successfully passing through the thorny black hole, the ten of them arrived at the ruins. The entire ruins still exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, but many places were already desolated. Along the way, they could see many broken buildings. Outside the buildings, there were some fluctuations of incomplete formations. It seemed to be the place where some Heavenly Soldiers were placed.

"This place has already been rummaged through. There is nothing valuable left."
