I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 406: Chapter 296: The Spirit Ruins Emerge!

Amidst the white beam of light, countless heavenly patterns flowed, emitting a heart-wrenching spatial fluctuation.

"It’s the Gate of Spirit Ruins!"

"The teleportation channel has opened!"

The crowd erupted in exclamations of shock.

The beam of light gradually condensed into a towering white light gate, with intricate ancient patterns carved on the door frame.

Through the gate, the vast ancient scenery of heaven and earth could be faintly seen.

There, is the legendary land of Spirit Ruins!

Just as everyone was in shock, nine illusory white chains suddenly appeared around the gate, firmly binding it.

On the chains were engraved obscure heavenly patterns, clearly aimed at restricting the cultivation realm of those entering.

The Empress’s phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as she softly said, "The restriction of the Spirit Ruins still exists; those above thirty years old are not allowed to enter."

"Everyone, the supreme opportunity lies before you, each relying on their own abilities."

At this critical moment, all the prodigies turned their gazes towards the imperial carriage in the clouds.

The place fell silent, with even the sounds of breathing clearly audible.

Empress Xia Mingyue slightly lowered her phoenix eyes, her hands folded behind her back, causing the originally turbulent atmosphere to freeze instantly.

As for why Empress Xia Mingyue hadn’t started granting permission, naturally, someone had yet to arrive.

The old ancestors of the eight great families below, as well as the leaders of the five great forces, tacitly remained silent, staying quietly in place.

Lu Xuan!

This guy.

Such arrogance!

In all the land, only this once-in-a-lifetime peerless genius could make the Emperor of Great Xia and the major forces wait for him.

If it were anyone else, not to mention, just the Sect Leader Gu Yan of the Extreme Flame Saint Sect among the five great forces wouldn’t let it go lightly.

This hot-tempered old ghost, with his hands stained with the blood of countless people.

He would probably slap down an Extreme Flame Palm without hesitation, giving the person a painful lesson.

However, those familiar with Lu Xuan have long been accustomed to this, not feeling any surprise at all.

Lu Xuan, this guy, seems to never have the habit of arriving early.

As time passed, the martial prodigies of the various major forces, including members of the Great Xia royal family, gradually noticed the increasingly tense atmosphere on site.

It was permeated with an indescribable eeriness.

"I apologize for being late, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

A clear voice suddenly pierced the sky, with a purple stream of light swiftly arriving from beyond the clouds.

The void rippled like a water surface, and Lu Xuan stepped out of the air, surrounded by a faint purple glow.

He landed steadily at the center of the altar, bowing slightly in the direction of Empress Xia Mingyue.

So many people are here; it seems I’m not late after all.

Lu Xuan felt no slightest guilt, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the white light gate.

The power emanating from that white luminous gateway struck him to the core.

This power is akin to that of the Earth Venerable realm beast, the power of small world laws.

A supreme force that transcends the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Hole Void True Prince!

"Is this inside the Spirit Ruins?"

Lu Xuan pondered silently, his eyes shining brightly.

He could clearly sense that the opportunities within that realm were enough to make his cultivation take a qualitative leap.

After saluting Empress Xia Mingyue, Lu Xuan discreetly scanned the entire scene.

He finally focused his gaze on the old ancestors of the eight great families and the leaders of the five great forces.

Lu Xuan being the last to appear wasn’t because he wanted others to wait for him.

It was because of these terrifying old fellows down below.

Seven days ago, Lu Xuan, after being injured by a fearsome bird-like beast, hastily found an unknown place to restore his injuries back to normal.

Without ensuring his strength was fully restored, Lu Xuan would not easily appear before the world.

Especially before those old geezers who harbored animosity toward him.

Finally, Lu Xuan’s gaze returned to the imperial carriage in the clouds, finding Empress Xia Mingyue watching him thoughtfully.

"Mr. Lu, no need for excessive courtesy!"

This Lu Xuan indeed possesses a mysterious Horizontal Training Skill for protection.

To retreat unharmed before that demon emperor, without even a trace of injury.

Clearly, Empress Xia Mingyue knew about Lu Xuan’s ordeal that day.

It was Zi Yao who, en route to support Lu Xuan, saw from afar the scene of Lu Xuan being attacked by that demon emperor.

"Isn’t that... the chief examiner?!"

At this moment, several shocked exclamations suddenly arose from the crowd.

They were young martial artists who had ranked in the top three of the martial arts competition.

Now, the three of them stared with wide eyes, looking incredulously at the suddenly appearing Lu Xuan.

Their weapons unconsciously lowered, their faces written with shock and confusion.

"Why is the chief examiner appearing here?"

The burly young man in a sleek black martial outfit murmured, the heavy sword in his hand clanging to the ground.

Beside the burly young man, the swordsman in white slightly narrowed his pupils: "Could it be..."

His slender fingers unconsciously stroked the sword hilt, his Adam’s apple moved up and down.

The youngest among the three, a young woman in green, suddenly covered her mouth: "Could it be that... the chief examiner also wants to..."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but the other two understood what she meant.

This unfathomable chief examiner was also among the young generation under thirty!

This thought struck them like lightning.

They clearly remembered, at the recent martial arts competition, this chief examiner had been above the Left and Right Prime Ministers of Great Xia, a towering figure!
