Chapter 47 Black Abyss Ancient Land

Two years have passed, and although the Great Wilderness has not yet fully recovered, it is more vibrant than it was two years ago.

Along his journey, Shi An encountered many people from beyond the Great Wilderness, who were searching for the ruins of those great clans that had been wiped out. These people were either looking for rare spiritual materials or seeking out the precious techniques of these great clans to improve themselves.

Shi An didn't pay much attention to them, but silently observed them, occasionally trying to glean information from them in hopes of finding an opportunity to improve his strength.

Half a month later, Shi An, who had traveled 100,000 miles into the Great Wilderness, finally heard some interesting news.

"Hey, did you guys hear that?!"

"What?"

"I've heard that someone discovered an ancient ruin in the Black Abyss, deep within the Great Wilderness, inscribed with ancient divine script. It may contain the legacy of an ancient powerhouse!"

"How is that possible?! If there really were the inheritances of ancient powerhouses, those great clans of the Great Wilderness would have already seized them for themselves. How could they still exist today?"

"It is said that this ruin was not originally revealed to the world; it was shaken out of the void by that great battle. Furthermore, according to some people who have entered the edge of the ruin, the pressure and aura emanating from it are far beyond what ordinary powerful clans can possess; it is very likely a true treasure left behind from ancient times!"

These words stirred something within Shi An.

Although he doesn't need many cultivation resources in the early stages, he does need experience. Only through experience and immersion in the mortal world can he improve his mental state, break through his own limits, and advance to the next level.

Therefore, after obtaining the approximate location of the Black Abyss Ancient Land, Shi An did not linger and headed straight for it.

The Black Abyss Ancient Land is located in a very deep place in the Great Wilderness, and it is also a forbidden place shrouded in endless darkness and mist.

Legend has it that this place was one of the battlefields where ancient gods and demons clashed, where countless powerful figures perished, the earth was torn apart, and abysses crisscrossed, forming a dark and unpredictable realm of death.

Not only does it never see the light of day, but it also harbors boundless resentment. Even those with profound cultivation dare not venture there lightly, lest they lose their lives in vain.

But when Shi An set foot here, he found that although he could feel a sense of oppression and antiquity, the air was also filled with a faint smell of blood and decay, as if every breath he took could inhale the dust of history.

However, it was not as astonishing as rumored, nor was there any overwhelming resentment that inspired fear.

At least, compared to the extreme danger he had anticipated, there seemed to be an unusual tranquility here.

This situation made Shi An ponder to himself that perhaps the rumors from the outside world had been exaggerated due to various factors, or perhaps because so much time had passed, those ancient grievances and the shadows of the battlefield had gradually been diluted by the years.

With that thought in mind, Shi An cautiously stepped into the mist, relying on his keen intuition and perception of the laws of earth to avoid potential dangers.

As Shi An continued to venture deeper, he found the surrounding landscape increasingly desolate. Huge cracks, like the fangs of a giant beast, stretched across the land, and occasionally, he could see some skeletons eroded by time, silently telling tales of past glories and tragedies.

In addition, he saw many ancient runes that had become dilapidated due to the erosion of time. They were either engraved on boulders or imprinted on the ground. Although they had lost their former glory, they still revealed a powerful fluctuation of energy that should not be underestimated.

Unbeknownst to him, Shi An had traveled countless miles. The scenery before him finally changed. On the once barren land, strange plants appeared, emitting a faint light that stood out in the dim environment, as if they were the light of life left over from ancient times.

More importantly, a hundred miles ahead of him, in the void, hovered an ancient bronze gate, covered with extremely complex ancient divine script, shimmering with a faint light, as if resonating with heaven and earth, or as if telling a long-forgotten history.

However, Shi An did not act rashly, because he was not the only one present.

Looking at the several camps in the air, Shi An became secretly wary.

Among these camps were powerful human warriors, clad in various spirit armors, wielding magical treasures, and possessing sharp eyes.

There are powerful ancient species, who are agile and either take human form or retain the characteristics of demon beasts, exuding a wild power.

There are also beings from other mysterious races, each with a different form. Some are like phantom shadows, while others are covered in strange runes, making them appear both ancient and mysterious.

They designated the area within a hundred miles of the Bronze Gate as a restricted zone, prohibiting anyone outside their territory, whether human, ancient remnant, or anything else, from setting foot there.

Time passed slowly, and the tense atmosphere in the air grew stronger.

Suddenly, one of the human powerhouses spoke up: "Gentlemen, since we have all come for this ancient inheritance, why don't we join forces to break through this bronze gate first, and then each compete for the inheritance based on our own abilities? What do you say?"

This statement immediately garnered support, but others expressed opposition, fearing that joining forces might backfire and lead to betrayal by allies.

In short, no one could make a decision for a while, until a cold voice rang out.

"Enough. Pointless arguments only waste time. Although our races have different stances, we share the same goal today: the ancient heritage behind that bronze gate. Instead of arguing endlessly, let's work together to break through the gate. As for the subsequent struggle, let's rely on our strength and leave our fate to destiny."

The voice came from an ancient remnant species. He was tall and covered in dark blue scales. His eyes were like abysses, exuding an undeniable domineering aura.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt resentful, but they also knew that there was some truth to it.

"Alright, as you say, let's work together to break down the door first."

Finally, an elderly human stepped forward. He had white hair and beard and held a cane engraved with intricate runes. He clearly held a high position in the race, and his decision represented the opinion of most of the strong humans.

Then, people from other forces echoed this sentiment. In an instant, representatives from several forces stepped forward, either displaying the power of their magical treasures or releasing their own cultivation aura. The energy fluctuations in the entire space increased sharply, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

"boom!"

All the powerful figures present unleashed their strongest attacks at the bronze gate. In an instant, the area was filled with dazzling light and surging energy, and the space itself seemed to be torn apart by this force.

The divine runes on the bronze gate began to flicker under the onslaught of the crowd, their light growing ever brighter. The ancient runes seemed to come alive, illuminating the entire area.

Immediately afterwards, an ancient and powerful pressure came from behind the door, making everyone present feel unprecedented pressure.
