Moon Burial Valley is located in the far west of the Eastern Domain.
According to legend, during the Middle Ages, a falling moon phenomenon occurred, and after it appeared, a valley shaped like a half-moon was formed here.
Some say this valley was formed by the fallen moon, others say the moon landed here, and some even claim that a peerless mighty figure plucked the moon from the sky and buried it here, hence the name Moon Burial Valley.
After a group of two hundred people entered Moon Burial Valley, they found themselves seemingly in another space.
Outside, it had just been a bright sunny day, but here it appeared as if night had already descended.
Only then did they realize that the ancient ruins were not within Moon Burial Valley itself, but that entering the valley meant they had already stepped into the ancient ruins.
"Everyone be careful, these ancient ruins are strange."
Xiahou Lie softly reminded.
"These ancient ruins reside in another small world. It seems the Sovereign was right; it is very likely a remnant left by a power of the Essence Pill Realm."
Lin Jingfeng also spoke up.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes showed excitement and anticipation. They had naturally heard from ancient records and legends that only those of the Essence Pill Realm or above could use Supreme Divine Techniques to create small worlds.
A Storage Pouch, Jiezimina Xumi, is merely a creation of another space, but it doesn't qualify as a small world.
Because the space inside a Storage Pouch is not only quite small and unstable, but most importantly, it cannot store living beings.
A true small world is a self-contained system, independent from the outside world. It is extremely stable and can accommodate living beings. Over endless years of evolution, native life forms can even emerge within it.
It is said that in the Ancient Era, truly great powers could create small worlds in a grain of sand, a particle of soil, or a drop of water.
Wang Ruoxie understood this better than anyone. In his previous life, with a cultivation at the Celestial Monarch Realm, he was fully capable of creating a truly small world.
Even now, once he reaches the Innate Realm, he could refine a better spatial treasure than a Storage Pouch, like a Storage Ring.
"The small world where these ancient ruins are located seems incomplete."
Wang Ruoxie murmured softly.
"Incomplete?"
Even though Wang Ruoxie's voice was very light, Xiao Ningyue clearly heard it and looked at Wang Ruoxie with puzzled eyes.
"Yes, don't you feel it? The spiritual energy in this space seems particularly thin."
Wang Ruoxie nodded slightly and said.
"It really is extremely thin."
Xiao Ningyue nodded, then said, "So, from now on, we must try to conserve our True Qi as much as possible."
"This is just the beginning. I have a feeling these ancient ruins are not as simple as being a mere Essence Pill Realm inheritance secret realm."
Wang Ruoxie furrowed his brow and said.
"Then we have to be more cautious."
Xiao Ningyue's expression turned solemn as she spoke to Wang Ruoxie.
In fact, it wasn't just them; almost everyone's expressions at this moment had turned extremely serious.
Because as they advanced, the spiritual energy in the space became thinner and thinner, and eventually, it completely disappeared.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a terrifying beast roar came from the distant space.
"It's not good, there's a terrifying demon beast."
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone's faces changed.
Due to the dimness of the small world, their vision was affected, so they couldn't see far away. Just from the roar, they couldn't determine what kind of demon beast it was.
However, judging by the terrifying aura it exuded, it was at least a half-step Innate level demon beast.
Even though there were two hundred of them, including a dozen powerful half-step Innate cultivators, the strength of the demon beast was beyond estimation.
Even among half-step Innate beasts, some were much stronger than others. Some could be easily hunted, while others were so powerful that even a combined effort might not be enough to defeat them.
Before long, a massive figure appeared in their vision.
It was a black giant bear with a body several zhang tall. But it was obviously no ordinary bear, as its large mouth exhaled a mass of earth-yellow aura.
"Quickly, scatter! This is an Earth Demon Bear, and the earth-yellow aura it exhales is pure earth attribute elemental power, capable of instantaneously killing any Martial Cultivator of the Element Transformation Realm. Even a half-step Innate cannot withstand it."
A white-robed young man at the half-step Innate level shouted.
Hearing this, everyone's expressions shifted slightly, and they quickly scattered in all directions.
At that moment, the Earth Demon Bear already exhaled that mass of earth-yellow aura, blasting towards the group.
"Boom..."
With an earth-shattering roar, the ground trembled incessantly, and dust filled the air.
After a long while, the space gradually returned to calm. Looking intently, they saw a massive pit where they once stood.
The surrounding ground was riddled with countless cracks, spider-webbing outward.
There were even some severed limbs scattered on the ground, with blood staining the surroundings red.
"Ten or so have died."
Wang Ruoxie's gaze swept through the crowd and quickly calculated the number.
Although those killed by the Earth Demon Bear's breath were mostly of the Eighth Layer of Element Transformation Realm cultivation, it still proved its overwhelming strength.
Everyone's expressions were grim. Having just entered the ruins and encountered the first demon beast, they had already lost a dozen people. If they proceeded further and encountered even more formidable beasts, wouldn't they face total destruction?
"Let's join forces and kill it first."
Xiahou Lie said in a steady voice.
"Okay."
Lin Jingfeng nodded in agreement.
The other half-step Innate cultivators also nodded and, without hesitation, rushed toward the Earth Demon Bear.
The result was unsurprising. No matter how strong the Earth Demon Bear was, it couldn't withstand the combined assault of several powerful half-step Innate cultivators.
In practically an instant, the Earth Demon Bear's massive body was reduced to a heap of flesh and blood.
"Not good..."
Just as the crowd secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Ruoxie uttered softly.
"What is it?"
Xiao Ningyue looked at Wang Ruoxie, puzzled.
"Run, everyone scatter and flee. Whether you survive will depend on your own fate."
Wang Ruoxie turned his gaze to Zong Yuzhe, Ruan Junhao, and the others and said.
Without any delay, he grabbed Xiao Ningyue's hand and dashed into the distance.
Zong Yuzhe, Tang Liren, and the others exchanged glances. Although they hadn't understood what happened, they wasted no time, each escaping in different directions.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a thundering beast roar echoed through the space, filled with boundless fury and an inexhaustible killing intent.
In the next instant, a gigantic figure, several dozen zhang tall, appeared before the crowd.
It was another Earth Demon Bear, but its body was several times larger than the previous one, and the aura it emanated was incomparably stronger.
Everyone's face turned ashen, for this was an Innate Realm Earth Demon Bear.
