Chapter 631: Three eyed Clan
"So... This is the real Ancient Ruin!"
After moving around more than a month, Ye Xiao finally took care of all the places where Ancient Devils were sealed. After that, he wandered around here and there when he suddenly felt a sudden burst of energy fluctuations from behind. This wave of energy was especially strong. Ye Xiao stopped in his tracks and turned around. It was a sound coming from the abyss.
What was in it?
The fluctuation of energy was extremely strange and after pondering for a while, Ye Xiao guessed that down the abyss might be the real Ancient Ruin.
Ye Xiao jumped into the abyss, but strangely, the next moment, he found himself standing at the bottom of the abyss even before he could complete his jump. Ye Xiao frowned but could not guess what just happened.
Helplessly, Ye Xiao could only move forward. He moved forward and was surprised to see the corpses of many people. There were thousands of corpses here. These people might have been the ones killed by Ancient Devils during the process of sealing those devils here all around the place, or they might be the ones who came here to explore in previous eras just like Ye Xiao and a few other peoples of the Moon Shadow Family but ended up being dead.
After all, no one can say for sure that after so many eras, this Ancient Ruin was not discovered by anyone.
After pa.s.sing by the corpses of the people on the ground, a faint black gas suddenly floated in the air. The moment Ye Xiao came into contact with the black aura, he immediately felt a little absent-minded, and his eyes became a little blurry as well.
The deeper he went, the thicker the black aura became. It was as if there was some terrifying prehistoric beast hidden inside that could jump out at any time and swallow Ye Xiao whole.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ye Xiao seemed to have lost himself in the black aura. At this moment, his body suddenly trembled, and his thoughts became clear once more.
"What was that?" Ye Xiao was shocked and didn"t know what to say. He didn"t even know why or how, but he came to this place absent-mindedly. It was as if someone controlled Ye Xiao for a few moments and brought him to the place he was standing now.
It has to know that Ye Xiao was already someone who could fight against a martial artist at the Divine Lord Realm. But even so, he actually became absent-mind for a few moments and came here.
How can Ye Xiao not be shocked?
"This is?" Ye Xiao was stunned when he saw what was in front of him. In front of him was a gigantic palace.
Yes, it was indeed a palace. Ye Xiao rubbed his eyes, his face was full of disbelief. The palace was dazzling in gold and jade. It had glazed tiles and a crystal floor. The golden pillar that was carved with dragons and phoenixes were supporting the top of the pillar. And at the center of the golden pillar was a pair of strange green eyes. And in the middle of these two green eyes, slightly above, there was yet another eye but this eye was completely white.
Was it an illusion? It was really unbelievable, so much that it seemed like an illusion.
Forcefully suppressing the surging feeling in his heart, Ye Xiao walked towards the palace. When he took the first step, the feeling of stepping on the floor was very real. It did not seem to be an illusion at all.
After entering the palace, the first thing he saw was a skeleton at the entrance. Ye Xiao frowned, he could not help but become more alert. The skeleton crawled forward with its ribs and spine broken. The leg bones below its waist were in a state of disintegration.
Hiss!
Ye Xiao could not help but take in a breath of cold air. This man probably had all his bones broken from the shock. The person who attacked could be said to be ruthless.
Without stopping on the skeleton"s body, Ye Xiao shifted his gaze towards the upper part of the great hall. In the center of the palace, there was actually a blood-red coffin.
The blood-colored coffin emitted a strange, devilish light. Strange arrays were engraved on it as if they were flowing red blood. It made his scalp tingle.
Palace? A coffin?
Ye Xiao"s heart palpitated even more. Just what kind of place was this? He was clearly in a bottomless abyss just now, but this definitely wasn"t a bottomless abyss. He had never heard of a place like this standing tall at the bottom of an abyss.
"This place is too strange, I can"t stay here any longer." Ye Xiao thought of retreating, but at this moment, his attention was attracted to the words written on the door.
"Three-eyed Clan!"
Ye Xiao"s eyes suddenly lit up as he made a new discovery.
The Three-eyed Clan was one of the renowned Ancient Families of the Ancient Era. If his memories were serving him right, in the Second Test of the First Trial, Ye Xiao had come across an ancient book. In that Ancient Book, there was some matter related to the Three-eyed Clan.
The Three-eyed Clan was an Ancient Family but they were not humans. Instead, they were of a different race. They had the body of a human but had four hands and three eyes. It is said that the Three-eyed Clan were proud of their eyes and were extremely powerful.
It is a pity that their clan never gave birth to a single Ruler.
When Ye Xiao got his hands on that ancient book, he was not aware of the cultivation realms of the Divine Realm, so he didn"t know what the Ruler signifies.
But now, he does know.
According to the Ancient Book, The Three-eyed Clan never gave birth to a Ruler. It might be a curse given to the Three-eyed Clan by the Heavens for having three extremely powerful eyes.
No one knows what exactly were the abilities of their three eyes. It is because the Three-eyed Clan were very careful and secretive about their eyes and never let a person outside their clan know about the abilities of their eyes.
They were also very united, because of this, buying a person with resources of money from this clan was impossible, causing no one to know the truth about their eyes.
It is said although the Three-eyed Clan never produced a Ruler, together they were powerful enough to kill hundreds of Rulers. Together, they were also powerful enough to threaten the life of an Exalted Ruler.
And all of these were because of their three powerful eyes.
Strangely, one day, in the mid-period of the Ancient Era, the Three-eyed Clan suddenly disappeared. This caused a storm at that time.
Some people said that the Three-eyed Clan had offended a G.o.d, causing that G.o.d to be furious and he destroyed the entire Three-eyed Clan.
Some people said that it was the retribution from the Heavens. They had done many bad things secretly and this was their punishment.
And some people said that Heavens was jealous of the Three-eyed Clan, so it took action and the Three-eyed Clan disappeared overnight.
But what the truth was, no one knows till this date!
.....
Reading the words "Three-eyed Clan" on the door, how could Ye Xiao not become excited when he clearly knows what these words meant.
It means that this palace-like Ancient Ruin was actually left behind by the Three-eyed Clan.
Ye Xiao suddenly shifted his gaze and looked at the pillar where a pair of green eyes and a white eye above the pair of green eyes were looking at the sky blankly.
Realizing that this was the ruin left behind by the Three-eyed Clan, Ye Xiao"s body trembled in excitement.
"Shhkk!"
Suddenly, Ye Xiao"s eyes were attracted by something. He shifted his gaze and saw the previous skeleton crawling at him. But this time, in the skeleton"s right hand, there was actually a grayish-brown thing.
Ye Xiao curiously took it off from the skeleton. It was actually a ball of beast skin and it was only the size of two palms. There was a strange pattern drawn on this Beast Skin.
There were people on the diagram, as well as beasts. There were also some unknown monsters, such as winged people, and other people of several other races. But the most eye-catching thing in this Beast Skin was the three eyes. These three eyes were slightly larger than other things carved in the Beast Skin. And these three eyes were exactly the same as the eyes on the pillar.
"What a strange thing. What exactly is this thing?" Ye Xiao revealed a puzzled expression as he looked at everything in the Beast Skin.. He didn"t know what this thing was but he had a feeling that this Beast Skin was not simple and it must have something to do with the Three-eyed Clan.
