I'm A Wasteland Giant

Chapter 192: 191: Entering the Ruins!

Translator: 549690339

“Whoom! ”

With a sound of a spatial shock wave emanating, the once bustling hilltop quieted down. Everyone was gazing into the void, ready to enter the ancient ruins at any time. “Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Following that, three more resounding booms rang out. The void again experienced a wave of ripple-like shocks, yet it still did not open. “Kong Luo, are you not yet taking action?”

As everyone in the mountains was waiting, an unsatisfied voice suddenly emerged from the void.

“Hahaha! ”

Following that came a hearty laugh, “Jiang Tianpeng, after all these years, you haven’t made any progress at all!”

Jiang Tianpeng sneered, “If you’re so capable, why don’t you open this barrier!”

At this moment, another unfamiliar voice sounded, “Kong Luo, everyone else is helping out. You’re just watching. That’s not very nice, is it?”

Kong Luo laughed and said, “Originally, I thought that such a small world barrier would be enough for you all… Since you can’t handle it, let me do it!”

“Hmph!”

As soon as his words ended, a cold grunt once again emanated from the void.

The people in the mountains soon found that the violent spatial vibrations had gradually disappeared.

It seemed that the other eternal level powerhouses had truly been provoked by Kong Luo.

Du Gang quietly asked to Prince Kong Xu, “How many eternal level powerhouses are in the void?”

Prince Kong Xu shook his head and chuckled, “I don’t know, but there are about thirty or forty. Apart from those from Penglai Island, many have come from other cosmic nations…”

“So many…”

Before the two could continue their conversation, the voice of Kong Luo was once again heard in the void.

“Since everyone wants to see how I, Kong Luo, break through the barrier, let me show a little of my hand…”

“Break! ”

With a loud shout, the entire space shook violently once again, this time, the frequency of the space vibration was much higher than before. “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Before everyone could react, an explosion echoed from the void. All of a sudden, a semi-open passage appeared in the mid-air of all the hilltops.

“The passage is now open, all those who have not reached the level of the Sector Lord, don’t bother to join the fun. This ancient ruin will collapse at most in a month, don’t linger too much… Now, enter!”

With Kong Luo’s stern shout, all the strong men standing on the hilltops bolted into the passage.

Standing on this hill, Jiang Wenxing glanced at Du Gang and said with a faint smile, “Ancient God, if you’re brave enough, come in!”

After saying that, he immediately led a group of over a thousand strong men from the Jiang family and soared into the sky, entering into the passage in mid-air. In an instant, they disappeared without a trace.

Little Hawk King was quite proud. After seeing Jiang Wenxing enter, he didn’t bother to greet the others and directly ordered his men to fly in.

Yu Shuiyao merely nodded to Du Gang, then turned to Prince Kong Xu and said with a smile, “I won’t disturb you guys, I’ll go in first!”

With that, she also quickly led her people into the passage.

Prince Kong Xu snorted without paying attention to her and turned his head to Du Gang and said, “You just stay outside, with Uncle Kong Luo’s clan here, you are safe!”

He still didn’t want Du Gang to go in because it’s too dangerous, and he alone wasn’t adequate to deal with it.

However, Du Gang did not reply, instead he asked, “I heard that once you enter these ruins, you will randomly appear in different locations. Is this true?”

Prince Kong Xu’s eyebrows furrowed, he nodded and said, “Yes, it’s true, but I still hope that you…”

Du Gang gave a faint smile and said, “It’s okay, you go in first, I definitely won’t joke about my own safety!”

At this point, Prince Kong Xu didn’t say much either, just nodded. He led his own team of a hundred people and flew into the entrance in mid-air.

Soon, the crowded scene on the entire mountains changed in an instant. All the Sector Lord-level powerhouses had entered the ruins, and those left behind were some discontented Domain Lord-level powerhouses.

Among these people, Du Gang was the only Sector Lord-level powerhouse. Their hilltop, being occupied by him and several other sacred bodies, was already the centre of attention. Now him standing here alone gave many people a surprise.

“Isn’t the Ancient God going in?”

“He doesn’t dare to go in. He is only at Rank One of Sector Lord level, if he encounters people from the Jiang family, he will undoubtedly die!”

“Indeed, the gap is too big. Any random Rank Two or Rank Three of Sector Lord level should be able to kill him, right?”

At this moment, the crowd is still discussing, and the center of their discussion, Du Gang, is expressionless and indifferent to their comments.

Right now, he was silently communicating with Bala la.

“When does the qualifying contest start?”

“There’s still a week’s time, Du Gang, do you really want to go in?” Bala la had been with Du Gang for so long that she could guess his thoughts and knew he wanted to go in.

Du Gang nodded and said, “I’ve tried sneaking around Prince Kong Xu in the size of a bacterium before, and he didn’t notice. That’s enough to show that if I shrink, these Sector Lord -level powerhouses still can’t find me!” Just then, a loud shout interrupted their conversation.

“Even though I, Lin Hu, only have Ninth Rank of Domain Lord level, I can remain invincible within the same level. Besides, I have mastered a trace of the original source of spatial laws, I must be able to break through this trifle of a ruins passage!”

Du Gang looked over to see a man dressed in extravagant clothes, with a face of arrogance, slowly rising into the sky under the watchful eyes of a crowd, flying towards the ruins passage in mid-air.

“Break for me!”

Lin Hu shouted loudly, using his full domain to attach to his body, and then headed straight into the tunnel.

“Boom!”

“Sizzle!”

Astonishingly, Lin Hu was only halfway through the passage when his body started to self-ignite. “No, no, save me!”

Lin Hut s face was now filled with nothing but terror, he tried to retreat, but it was not that easy.

His body was still moving backward, but his flesh had been almost completely burnt. Even his skeleton was gradually scattering with each motion.

“Boom!”

Lin Hu didn’t even hold on for a second before he was annihilated.

Below the hill, all the Domain Lord-level powerhouses who were eager to try were stunned and had cold sweat streaming down their backs.

At this moment, an eternal-level powerhouse in the void laughed coldly and said, “The path of cultivation is long and arduous, as warriors, we should aim for rapid advances, but we must also know ourselves. Anyone who dares to show no respect for the world’s rules will inevitably be backlashed…” Hearing these words, everyone on the hilltop was silent.

Many of them thought that these eternal level powerhouses were cold-blooded.

In their minds, with these powerful entities nearby, even if Lin Hu couldn’t make it, someone would help him. But, those powerful beings just looked on as he died.

Or rather, even Lin Hu thought that if he couldn’t make it, these powerful entities would come to his rescue.

Thus, he wanted to show off in front of his Domain Lord-level peers, but in the end, he paid the price with his life.

Seeing the tragic end of this man, Du Gang couldn’t help but shake his head.

Expecting others to save him, that’s a loser’s mentality!

Besides, even at this moment, the children of those eternal level powerhouses are in the ruins. They dare not interfere with the passage of the ruins for fear it would collapse prematurely.

Even under normal circumstances, whether these Eternal Level experts would choose to save someone or not was entirely up to their whims.

If they were in a good mood, they might help; if they weren’t, they wouldn’t bother saving anyone. And no one would dare to reprimand them for their decision.

“The Ancient God is moving!”

Someone who’d been closely watching Du Gang suddenly exclaimed.

Instantly, everyone who hadn’t yet entered the ruins turned their attention towards him.

True enough, Du Gang was already floating in the air and, at an incredibly fast pace, plunged into the semi-open passageway. With a flash, he disappeared, just like those who’d gone in before him.

“He really went in!”

“This guy, he’s not afraid of dying…”

Suddenly, everyone present began to discuss among themselves.

Meanwhile, high up in the void, Jiang Tianpeng sneered: “Kong Luo, you didn’t expect to be protecting such a fool, did you? His abilities are clearly poor, yet he still insists on charging in. Does he think the words ‘Ancient God’ are enough to scare people?”

At this moment, Kong Luo looked none too pleased. Like his son Kong Xu, he hadn’t wanted Du Gang to enter.

Who would have thought the man would actually refuse to listen? If someone was hell-bent on courting death, Kong Luo wasn’t about to stop them.

However, a sense of deep disappointment welled up within him.

Not everyone in the Kong Family agreed with the decision to protect the Ancient God, with a portion of the family reluctant to intervene in the conflict between the Ancient God and the Jiang Family.

However, the patriarch of the Kong Family had approved the decision. On top of that, most of the main family members agreed, leaving the other branches no way to contradict them.

Now, if Du Gang died inside, Kong Luo’s branch of the family would probably end LID a laughingstock.

After all, unlike the main branch, Kong Luo was part of a side branch, but he still hadn’t sided with most of his branch, instead choosing to support the protection of the Ancient God.

“I hope he can come out alive…”

Despite saying this, Kong Luo felt that the odds weren’t in Du Gang’s favor.

Even a Rank One Sector Lord, let alone a Sacred Body, would die if faced with a Ninth Rank Sector Lord. Yet Du Gang’s current strength was even weaker than that.

As the protector, Kong Luo had naturally watched some of Du Gang’s battle videos. To be honest, Du Gang wasn’t exceptional. He wasn’t even as good as some of the Kong Family’s notable mortal descendants.

“Now that’s what you’d call asking for trouble!”

“Heaven blessed him with a mighty physique, but not with a sturdy spirit…”

Meanwhile, within the ruins, Du Gang knew nothing of the outside world’s perceptions of him. Even if he did, he wouldn’t have cared. He always believed in doing what he wanted and ignored everyone else’s opinions.

Right now, after entering the passageway, he found himself in a forest.

What surprised him was the intense gravity here – a whopping billion times that of Earth’s. Consequently, his speed had taken a severe hit, slowing by a billion times.

This meant that he wouldn’t be able to finish exploring these ruins for at least a month or two at his current speed.

For Du Gang, this was good news as it reduced the chance of running into other enemies.

“The energy here is really abundant!”

Upon sensing this, Du Gang couldn’t help but exclaim aloud, “This feels almost the same as when I was at the core area of the Qiankun continent.”

“Of course, this is the internal world of an Eternal Level expert. Over the years, the accumulated energy here isn’t something to scoff at…”

Bara laughed, “Du Gang, let’s get moving and find that Divine Crystal!”

“Right!”

Du Gang nodded, glanced around, and failing to discern anything unusual, arbitrarily chose a direction and proceeded swiftly.

The forest was dense with very tall tree trunks. Du Gang had been trekking for a few minutes without noticing any changes or seeing any Divine Crystals, so he paused.

“I’ll check the situation from the treetops!”

With a brief step, he flew upward and quickly reached the top of a tree, hopping on gently.

“Screech! ”

No sooner did he appear, with the forest underneath him looking like a green ocean, than a large bird flew towards him from a distance.

“Such power!”

Du Gang was taken aback and quickly dived back in without a word.

“Boom!”

The moment he landed, the bird swooped down and attacked.

“Shhhh”

The towering tree, well over a hundred meters tall, was uprooted by the bird and carried away.

Seeing this, Du Gang quickly fled, but the bird, which spanned over a kilometer, seemed to have no intention of letting him go. It kept attacking, carrying away tree after tree.

“Boom!”

Du Gang narrowly escaped another attack from the bird.

“You’re pushing it!”

He was a little agitated. He had felt this bird was at the Sector Lord level and planned to avoid it. He didn’t expect the beast to be relentless, apparently intent on eating him.

“Die!”

Stopping in his tracks, Du Gang quickly brandished his Ancient Divine Spear and charged at the bird.

Simultaneously, his body and the Ancient Divine Spear rapidly grew during the attack. In an instant, he was two thousand meters tall – twice as big as the bird.

“Die!”

With a low shout, the Ancient Divine Spear pierced the bird in a flash.

“Bang!”

To his surprise, the bird’s body vanished after its death, transforming into a crystal the size of a grain of rice.

“Whizz!”

In mid-air, Du Gang quickly readjusted his position and chased after the rapidly falling crystal, catching it in his hand with a ‘slap’.

“Is

Looking at the rice grain-sized crystal in his hand, Du Gang was somewhat surprised.

“A Saint Crystal!”

At this point, Bara quickly explained, “I checked. In the ruins left by an Eternal Level expert, there might not only be Divine Crystals, but also Saint Crystals. They are a type of energy crystal with a concentration ten thousand times less than that of a Divine Crystal. Essentially, they are worth about the same as what I originally had!”

“Compared to Divine Crystals, it’s easier to find and deal with Saint Crystals…”

“You’re saying that both Divine Crystals and Saint Crystals will transform into these beasts?” Du Gang asked in surprise.

“That’s right!”

Bara laughed, “These beasts are just a manifestation of the energy. The bird you just encountered is, at most, equal to a Rank One Sector Lord. If you were to encounter a Ninth Rank Sector Lord, it’s surely a Divine Crystal’s manifestation…

“I see! ”

Du Gang came to a sudden realization. Though it was less than he had hoped for, it wasn’t too bad, as the Saint Crystal could at least increase his cultivation.

“Fine, let’s settle for Saint Crystals then. After all, collecting ten thousand of them would still be enough for my cultivation…”

With that, Du Gang swallowed the Saint Crystal in his hand, then continued flying in the direction he was going..
