Chapter 925: Chapter 484: Racing Against Time · Unexpected Gains_2

In the group chat, Song Baiyi softly reminded everyone with a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Song Hao’s mind sharpened, as if he had made up his mind.

“Break Limit State, activate!”

As the Limit-breaking State was activated, his eyes suddenly closed, and the power of his Spiritual Force capable of Twelve Uses with One Mind was completely gathered into the image of the brainwave imprint in his mind.

At the same time, the Shadow Soldier Puppets deep in the underground space stopped trying to hide their figures and began to sprint at full speed along the main descending corridor.

Under the full concentration of Song Hao’s Spiritual Force capable of Twelve Uses with One Mind, the Shadow Clan Soldier Puppets dodged the spatial fissures scattered throughout the corridor with almost perfect precision at high speed.

Suddenly, a trace of white light appeared at the end of the view in the dark underground corridor.

Instinctively, Song Hao believed that if the white light was there, it must be the very center of this underground space, and that all answers must lie there as well.

With this thought, he couldn’t help but further increase the speed of the Shadow Clan Soldier Puppets, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

In this last section of the corridor, there were not only spatial fissures, but also strands of Word Spirit Light that seemed to materialize, which were the original manifestations of the Word Spirit Law.

By the time he realized this, Song Hao wanted to slow down the Shadow Clan Soldier Puppets, but it was already too late.

The puppet body of the Soldier Figurine had already touched a strand of nearly materialized Light of Word Spirit.

“卍!”

In the group chat, Song Baiyi, with keen eyes, caught a glimpse of the special mark flashing in Song Hao’s eyes.

“It seems like a Buddhist True Words Handprint…”

“Second brother, wake up!!!”

However, his calls were not needed; the instant the Soul Subduing Stele within the depths of the Ancestral Torch resonated with the Buddhist True Words “卍”, it immediately emitted a blazing red light that dispelled the “卍” Curse Words directly.

In the underground space, the Shadow Clan Soldier Puppet continued striding forward, getting closer and closer to the end of the corridor with each step.

Finally, at a certain moment, the Shadow Clan Soldier Puppet completely stepped out of the corridor, and the scene at the end of the corridor also emerged before Song Hao’s eyes.

“This… this…”

The moment he saw the so-called answer at the end of the corridor, Song Hao was completely stunned in place.

It wasn’t until Song Baiyi’s call came through the group chat that he managed to come back to his senses.

Shaking his head and suppressing the incredulous thoughts bubbling up in his heart, Song Hao hesitated no further and directly activated the Ruins Market Projection Rank in the hands of the Shadow Clan Soldier Puppet below the ground.

Because right at the deepest center, a White Jade Tree towering over ten thousand meters tall was standing prominently.

Song Hao was very clear on the value of this ten-thousand-meter White Jade Tree.

The void shifted, and Purple Mist gathered.

Compared with the previous time, the arrival of the Ruin Market Projection was much faster.

At its core, this was due to the space underground being exceptionally weak.

However, what Song Chi was concerned about at the moment was not this point, not even the ten-thousand-meter White Jade Tree at the center of the open area ahead, but rather the ground beneath where the White Jade Tree was rooted.

Vast amounts of flesh and blood covered this spacious cylindrical space, and right in the middle of these tissues, there oddly stood a large Buddha head with elongated ears.

The reason the word “stood” is used is that beneath the giant Buddha’s neck, countless flesh roots were connected, tightly stitching the ancient Buddha’s head to the ground below with densely packed flesh roots. As for the Buddha’s golden body, if the guess was correct, it was probably devoured long ago by the will of the Secret Realm’s source beneath their feet.

Seeing this, Song Chi could roughly speculate the sequence of events that occurred in the ancient past.

For unknown reasons, a Dominator Level member of the Shakyamuni tribe who had cultivated a Buddha golden body, perished in a world-shocking battle. Because his golden body was too terrifying, his corpse fell into this unknown Secret Realm. The might carried by the fall of the Buddha’s corpse in its golden body form was so terrifying that it not only blasted a cylindrical pit of sheer horror on the surface of the Secret Realm but also shattered the spaces far beneath the ground.

And due to self-preservation instincts, the will of the Secret Realm, itself of no low position, began to devour the tremendous energy within the Shakyamuni Buddha’s golden body to slowly repair the shattered space beneath the ground.

After hundreds of thousands of years, the space underground was likely largely repaired, which could never be merely at this extent in the distant past.

Speculating to this point, Song Chi wondered who exactly were involved in that world-shocking battle from the past that even a Dominator Level Shakyamuni could fall. One could imagine just how devastating that battle was.

However, his increasingly drifting thoughts were soon reeled back in. After all, that was a time long gone by. What’s most important now is the Meter-class Time Realm Tree in front of him.

A Meter-class, the Northern Sphere Shen Family’s records did not mention the Time Realm Tree of such a height, but Song Chi could guess that this one was likely of the Seventh Rank Level.

With this thought, the Shadow Clan figure within the Ruins Market Projection stretched out a hand, directing the Triple Hand Seal condensed from three layers of energy towards the Seventh Rank Time Realm Tree.

The Hand Seal carrying the Power Of Domination landed on the Meter-class Time Realm Tree, yet to Song Chi’s displeasure, the Seventh Rank Time Realm Tree was more difficult to handle than imagined. Even the Projection of the Markets of the Heavens, with the Power Of Domination, was unable to move it in the slightest.

A Seventh Rank Time Realm Tree stood before him, yet he could not take it with him. Song Chi naturally was not willing to give up and tried twice more, but just like before, he was utterly unable to pull the Meter-class Time Realm Tree from the ground.

At this moment, the sounds of cannon fire echoed through the corridor behind him.

“No good, there’s no more time…”

Song Chi knew that it was probably the Chenxing Clan’s people coming, and in no small number.

For a moment, the idea of killing them to silence them even flashed through his mind, but he ultimately dismissed the thought.

The Chenxing Clan, with a heritage lasting over seven thousand years and immense underlying strength, might carry certain trump cards. If that were the case, even if the Projection of the Markets of the Heavens intervened, it wasn’t necessarily guaranteed that they could eliminate them all, which could instead risk exposing the Ruins Market.

With that in mind, he suddenly shifted his gaze, no longer looking towards the trunk of the Seventh Rank Time Realm Tree, but instead towards the Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit hanging upon it.

While the Time Realm Tree was immovable, there were no surprises with the Time Realm Fruit. A casual flourish of the Ruins Market Projection’s Hand Seal easily plucked the Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit.

Behind him, the cannon fire grew louder. Seizing this last chance, Song Chi controlled the Triple Handprints to grasp at a Five Hundred Meter Time Realm Tree to the side.

This was a Fifth Rank Time Realm Tree, valuable in its own right, but in fact, across from the center of the underground on the other side, Song Chi had also seen two Thousand Meter-Tall Sixth Rank Time Realm Trees, far more valuable than this Fifth Rank one. But there was no longer enough time.

Effortlessly pulling out the Fifth Rank Time Realm Tree, Song Chi distractedly cast a wave of Purple Mist Energy to smooth over the unearthed hole, making sure no abnormalities could be spotted anymore. Only then did he, along with the Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit and the Fifth Rank Time Realm Tree, disappear from this underground space.

Song Hao also wasn’t slow. The moment Song Chi’s projection disappeared, he proactively cancelled the summoning of the Puppet Soldier Figurines.

Mere seconds after their departure, hundreds of Torch Warships arrived from the space corridor behind, belonging to the newly-arrived members of the Chenxing Clan.

How exactly they managed to so easily find the heart of this underground space was unknown.

But following these captains of the Chenxing Clan, warships from the Song Family such as [Vast] and [White Day] were also not few in number. With this turnout, it would be impossible for the Chenxing Clan to monopolize the resources.

Up in the markets of the heavens, above The Vault of Heaven.

Looking at the Fifth Rank Time Realm Tree quietly placed in the free stall area, along with the lustrous and translucent Seventh Rank Time Realm Fruit, Song Chi heaved a sigh.

Although the gains were still alright, he naturally still longed for the Seventh Rank Time Realm Tree.
