Chapter 164: Ancient Land of the Divine Kingdom (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As memories of the majestic landscape of King Kong Island flooded his mind, Ji Chen’s conjecture grew even more resolute.

His excitement grew stronger.

This was an ancient divine realm!

Even if there was hardly anything left inside, anything related to gods would undoubtedly be among the best.

The only thing he had encountered so far that was related to gods was the Love Potion he had caught from the sea shortly after starting the game. Its effect was to forcibly increase the favorability of any intelligent being towards the user to 100 points.

The effect was overwhelmingly powerful.

It was because of this potion that he had recruited Alice, the Siren hero, and his early battles were almost smooth sailing with few opponents.

If he could obtain some divine relics in this ancient divine realm, he would truly strike it rich.

He wasn’t greedy, just a few divine artifacts would satisfy him.

With this in mind, Ji Chen’s interest and motivation were ignited, and he couldn’t wait to rush in and plunder.

Boom-

In front of him.

The Ruins Guardians finally arrived not far away.

Each step of their massive bodies caused the ground to tremble violently, and their blood-red glow exuded an intimidating aura.

They didn’t carry any weapons, but any part of their bodies could easily crush intruders.

Waves of pressure swept over, and Ji Chen’s expression became solemn, not daring to underestimate them.

At Tier 3, 8 stars, and Level 17, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to fail if he didn’t handle the situation properly.

The pre-arranged formation played its role at this moment.

With a command, various units began to exert their strength.

While the Pure Water Sea Pixies were still preparing their spells, the Dragon Blood Murlocs forcefully threw their tridents.

The sharp trident tips seemed to be able to penetrate everything.

Tearing through the air, they reached the Ruins Guardians in the blink of an eye.

Snap—

The trident tips directly pierced the rocky skulls of the Ruins Guardians.

The Dragon Blood Murlocs swiftly pulled out the tridents, and the barbs on the tips tore off about half of a head.

Only a small portion of the head remained.

However, even with such injuries, the Ruins Guardians seemed unaffected, continuing to move forward.

Ji Chen’s mouth twitched, realizing that he couldn’t judge the weaknesses of these alchemical creations with human common sense.

His gaze shifted.

His attention was drawn to a distinct area on their bodies, approximately at chest level, where a blue crystal was embedded.

These Ruins Guardians were alchemical constructs, reliant on energy to operate, and it seemed that the blue crystal served as their energy core, potentially their vulnerable spot.

Realizing this, Ji Chen immediately shouted loudly.

“Attack the crystal in their bodies directly; that’s their weak point!”

Upon hearing this, many Dragon Blood Murlocs changed their attack strategy, aiming for the blue crystals of the Ruins Guardians and throwing their tridents.

Snap—

A Dragon Blood Murloc accurately hit a Ruins Guardian’s body, with the trident’s tip striking the blue crystal directly.

Subjected to a formidable force and impact, the crystal fractured approximately halfway, succumbing to its power.

With the damaged energy core, the patterns and aura covering the Ruins Guardian’s body dimmed, and its movements became rigid.

Ji Chen’s eyes lit up—it was working!

When the Ruins Guardians were hit by the tridents for the second time, the patterns and aura all over their bodies instantly extinguished, and their bodies crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

Seeing that he had found a way to defeat them, not only the Dragon Blood Murlocs but also the Sea Pixies started shooting water arrows at the blue crystals.

In a series of explosions, the crystals shattered one after another.

The Ruins Guardians fell to the ground, scattered in all directions.

There were only a few who managed to break through the firepower and approach.

The situation was looking great.

When the last Ruins Guardian fell, raising a cloud of dust.

A system notification quietly sounded.

“Ding- You have achieved a glorious victory and obtained 16,000 experience points.”

Ji Chen looked at the scattered bodies of the Ruins Guardians, feeling great.

These guardians looked frightening, but they weren’t that terrifying in reality. The exposed cores in their chests were their fatal weakness.

If their blue crystal cores were hidden inside their bodies, the battle would not have been so easy.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Chen led his army through the fallen Ruins Guardians and arrived at the end of the canyon.

There were three recessed areas under the closing rock wall, roughly the same size and shape as the three keys.

There was no need to say more, these should be the keyholes to open.

Without wasting time, he took out the three keys and inserted them into the holes one by one.

Click—The keys fit perfectly.

In the next moment, the high tower pattern on the rock wall shone brightly again. With a loud rumble, the closing rock wall split open, opening to both sides.

Once the rock wall was completely open, a vast basin with an inward depression appeared before his eyes. Terrace-like platforms descended layer by layer around the basin, resembling terraced fields. On top of the platforms stood countless ruined buildings.

Although most of them had become ruins, one could imagine how prosperous it must have been when the gods were still present.

Encircled by towering rock walls, the scene was adorned with a series of silver-white waterfalls, cascading down in various sizes and lengths. These majestic waterfalls flowed along meticulously crafted channels, converging into a vast lake nestled at the basin’s base.

In the lake, there stood a white tower several hundred meters tall, reaching into the clouds and connecting with the blue dome.

Inside and outside the dome seemed like two different worlds.

Seeing this, Ji Chen suddenly realized.

It was no surprise that the towering tower remained concealed from the outside, as it was shielded by this dome. While the exterior couldn’t glimpse the interior, the reverse held true—the interior could gaze upon the world outside..
