# Chapter 1088: Ancient Ruins
"How is this possible, a living person appearing from within the Huangshi!" The crowd's hearts trembled violently. What kind of terrifying existence could this living person be?
"Boom!" The Huangshi exploded apart, revealing a man with a bare upper body, his long hair wildly dancing in the wind, his eyes emitting a terrifyingly cold light.
"Hand over your life!" He stomped his foot heavily, cracking the ground beneath him. This newly appeared person charged straight toward Gu Qiuyun within the pavilion, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
"You're still alive!" Gu Qiuyun's body trembled violently. How could he still be alive? They had clearly been buried in the abyss of the Wasteland Sea. How could he have appeared from within the Huangshi?
"Great Pest!" Lin Feng's eyes twitched. He never expected that the living person emerging from the Huangshi would be the Great Pest, Huangfu Long.
The Great Pest also saw Lin Feng, but only glanced at him briefly, as if he didn't recognize him.
"Lin Feng, this villain sent us to dig Huangshi from the Wasteland Sea, then buried us within it. We don't know each other now."
Suddenly, the Great Pest's voice transmitted into Lin Feng's eardrums, causing Lin Feng's expression to stiffen. The Great Pest was reminding him of what Gu Qiuyun had done. As for not acknowledging Lin Feng, it was naturally because the Great Pest knew that Nine Dragons Island's strength was terrifying and didn't want to implicate Lin Feng.
"Kill!"
The Great Pest roared, dragon energy soaring into the sky. A massive dragon-shaped battle axe appeared in his hand, true dragons coiling around it, dragon energy bursting forth as if roaring toward the heavens.
Gu Qiuyun's body retreated wildly. How could this be? Huangfu Long's strength had become so terrifying. He should have died.
"Rebel, how dare you!" An old man behind Gu Qiuyun extended his hand, which trembled slightly. Instantly, thousands of threads materialized, blocking the Great Pest's terrifying axe strike.
"Ao..."
"Boom!"
Dragon energy surged into the sky. True dragons crashed against the net of thousands of threads, tearing it apart. The old man behind Gu Qiuyun struck out another palm, finally extinguishing the dragon energy.
But by then, the Great Pest's body had already shot into the sky. Having missed his strike, he immediately fled.
"Do you think you can escape?" Several figures simultaneously leaped into the air, charging toward the Great Pest. At the same time, Yang Zilan also said to the experts behind him, "Capture him!"
He hadn't expected a living person to appear from within the Huangshi. But since he had paid a huge price to auction it, as long as he obtained that dragon-shaped battle axe sacred artifact, he wouldn't lose.
"Kill!"
The Great Pest's killing intent soared. He turned back and swung his axe, sending out a blast. Instantly, streaks of true dragons appeared in the void, their power fierce and overwhelming, charging toward those people.
"So strong. It's only been a few days apart. How did the Great Pest become this powerful? And he emerged from a Huangshi. What did he encounter?" Lin Feng's heart was shocked. The Great Pest's combat power right now was terrifying.
However, at this moment, experts in the void soared into the sky one after another, determined to kill the Great Pest. These people were all Venerable Martial Realm experts. Even if the Great Pest's combat power was terrifying, he would likely find it hard to escape death.
Lin Feng's icy gaze swept over Gu Qiuyun, causing Gu Qiuyun's entire body to stiffen. He retreated rapidly. The killing intent emanating from Lin Feng right now was so terrifying, cold to the bone.
"What do you want to do?" Staring coldly at Lin Feng, Gu Qiuyun's aura roiled.
"Scum, wait for me to take your life!" A cold sound emerged from Lin Feng's lips. Then his body shot into the sky. The Void Ship appeared beneath his feet, and he rode it straight toward the Great Pest.
"Kill him, kill them both!"
Gu Qiuyun's gloomy face grew even colder. He had actually been frightened into trembling by a person at the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Martial Realm. He wanted Lin Feng dead.
The Void Ship reached Huangfu Long in an instant. Lin Feng shouted, "Get on!"
The Great Pest's expression froze, then he quickly stepped onto the Void Ship as it fled into the distance.
"Get out of the way!" The Celestial Fate Sword in hand, Lin Feng directly slashed at the person blocking their path. The sword split the void, and the Void Ship's speed was extreme.
"Void Demon Art!" A voice emerged from Lin Feng's mouth. Snowflakes fell, and with Lin Feng at the center, a void snow path spread out, instantly enveloping the Void Ship. Terrifying killing power howled toward them from behind. A booming sound of explosion rang out as powerful attacks blasted the void power apart. But by then, the Void Ship had already gone far. It was too fast. Within a few breaths, it was no longer visible.
"Chase!" Several experts gave chase. But the Void Ship's terrifying speed made it unattainable even for ordinary Venerable Martial Realm experts. By the time they reached the edge of the Wasteland Sea, the Void Ship had already disappeared into the vast Wasteland Sea. There was no way to catch up.
They had escaped!
The crowd's faces were ugly. A sacred artifact battle axe, just lost like that. No one was more frustrated than Yang Zilan. He had paid such a huge price, only to end up with nothing. The person from within the Huangshi had also escaped.
Lin Feng and Huangfu Long arrived above the Wasteland Sea. At this moment, Lin Feng's expression was serious as he asked Huangfu Long, "Where are Youyou and the others?"
The Great Pest's mouth twitched. He wanted to speak but didn't know how to start.
"That bastard Gu Qiuyun had his eyes on Youyou's beauty, but Youyou refused him. So he sent us to dig Huangshi from the Wasteland Sea. During the digging process, he abandoned us in the abyss of the Wasteland Sea." The Great Pest spoke, causing Lin Feng's face to instantly turn pale. Abandoned in the abyss of the Wasteland Sea, there was no way to survive!
"Gu Qiuyun!" Killing intent flickered in Lin Feng's eyes. He said to Huangfu Long, "Great Pest, since you managed to survive, they might still be alive too, right?"
Lin Feng still held a sliver of hope. Although the abyss of the Wasteland Sea was a dead end, hadn't the Great Pest also survived?
"I hope they're still alive!" The Great Pest's eyes twitched as he said to Lin Feng, "The abyss of the Wasteland Sea where we were abandoned is an ancient battlefield ruin. I encountered corpses that hadn't decayed for millions of years and managed to survive by luck!"
"Ancient battlefield ruins!" Lin Feng's expression froze. He had long heard that the Wasteland Sea was once an ancient battlefield. Now, Huangfu Long had survived a great disaster and actually encountered ruins.
"Since they were corpses, why do you say they hadn't decayed for millions of years?" Lin Feng asked.
"Their divine thoughts hadn't completely dissipated. For millions of years, they didn't decay. I received the inheritance of a powerful expert and sealed myself within a Huangshi, taking a gamble to see if I could come out alive. It seems that Nine Dragons Island indeed gained benefits there and went to the abyss again to dredge up Huangshi, which is how I was dredged up!"
"I see!" Lin Feng murmured to himself, but his brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes full of worry.
"Lin Feng, maybe they also received inheritances. That place is vast like an abyss, where top experts once fought. There were probably more than one powerful expert buried in the ruins, so they might have survived too." Huangfu Long comforted Lin Feng, and also comforted himself.
Lin Feng was silent for a moment, as if thinking. After a while, he spoke again, "Take this Void Ship and head to the Eight Wastelands Realm. I'm going back to Nine Dragons Island!"
"No, you can't go back." Huangfu Long exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger." As Lin Feng spoke, he reached out and wiped his face, instantly changing his appearance. "Give me the coordinates of the Eight Wastelands Realm."
With that, Lin Feng's divine thoughts surged, and a streak of light drilled into Huangfu Long's brow.
"Whoosh!" A brilliant white light burst forth. Silver Wing light spread across the void, and a pair of wings grew from Lin Feng's back. It was the Silver Wing Battle Soul.
"Shadow!"
A sound emerged from his mouth. In an instant, Lin Feng's figure gradually became illusory until it completely disappeared, becoming nothing but a shadow. Even his Silver Wings vanished along with him.
"Go to the Eight Wastelands Realm first and wait for me at the Heavenly Terrace. I'm going to Nine Dragons Island to kill someone and then return!" Huangfu Long only felt a gust of wind surge, and then there seemed to be no one in front of him, causing his eyes to tremble slightly.
"This guy, he's getting more and more monstrous!" Huangfu Long murmured softly. Lin Feng dared to fly directly over the Wasteland Sea, clearly unafraid of its invasion.
Establishing a connection with the Void Ship, Huangfu Long headed toward the Eight Wastelands Realm.
However, Lin Feng soon descended upon Nine Dragons Island again. But this time, he descended silently, rapidly flashing toward the place where the nine dragons spit pearls. There were still two Huangshi that hadn't been split open. He wondered if Youyou and the others might also have been coincidentally sealed within Huangshi.
Because of the earlier disturbance, the auction had been temporarily halted, and the Huangshi had been taken away. Only after everything had calmed down did the auction of the final two Huangshi resume. By then, Lin Feng had returned to this place. Among the crowd, he had silently manifested as a real shadow. Even the people around him didn't notice, as if he had always been there, completely natural.
Yang Zilan's face remained gloomy. Eight thousand Essence Crystals was an enormous sum even for him. But it had been thrown away for nothing, making him feel like he was going crazy. Moreover, the person who had rescued Huangfu Long this time was Lin Feng again. It was Lin Feng again. His hatred for Lin Feng was now beyond words. If Lin Feng ever fell into his hands, he would definitely cut him into a thousand pieces!
