Chapter 467: The Second Ruins Appear

Li An raised his hand, attempting to grasp the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window.The more life force flowed into the Dao Fruit, the stronger his perception of life became.So strong that Li An even had the illusion that he could control the life around him.Alas, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't finally grasp the setting sun's light within his palm.Just then, the colorful bird Yuri flew over and called out, "Li An, Li An, you're finally out! Something terrible has happened!""Oh?" Li An turned and walked away.At this moment, the sun had completely set, and the sky and earth should have been dark.But behind Li An, a faint twilight still lingered by the window.Yuri, facing Li An, turned his eyes and caught sight of the afterglow of that light.It vanished in a flash."What's wrong?" Li An turned again, following Yuri's gaze, but there was nothing outside the window.Yuri also flapped his wings and patted his head, a large question mark forming in his bird's eyes. It was as if I saw a glimpse of dusk, still lingering before the sun set.A very strange scene.An illusion?"No, nothing." Yuri shook his head.Lean wondered, "Nothing, you mean something serious?"Yuri: "Ah, no, something's wrong.""Huh?" Lian wondered if Yuri's speech system was malfunctioning. Yuri continued, "Business, business.""While you were busy, another ruin appeared.""It's quite lively.""Ghost Lord, Hades, and your human race's Zhao Shaolong and Frost Snow are all here.""They're fighting outside that ruin.""They've been fighting for a long time, with no outcome, but the crowds of spectators keep growing.""Now, a bunch of geniuses are gathered there. Don't you want to go and take a look?"Li An frowned and asked, "Are there no Mesozoic experts to take charge?""No," Yuri shook his head. "I heard someone from the Alliance has said that the younger generation should handle their own affairs."Li An wondered, "So there really aren't any Eighth or Ninth Realm experts to take charge?""Not yet, anyway," Yuri said.Hearing this, Li An pondered."Is the stuff in that ruin bad?"As the saying goes, money makes the world go round.If it were truly good, no one would be able to hold back." Yuri, somewhat excited, asked, "Want to go check it out?""Wait." Li An turned and headed for the refining room."Bang, bang."After knocking twice, he pushed the door open and entered.Liu Dahu was concentrating on smelting the willow branch, and the sudden interruption made him irritated."What for?"Li An quickly replied, "A relic has been unearthed.""Frost and Snow, Pluto's group is at a stalemate over there.""I'll go check it out.""Of course you can go. Why are you telling me this?" Liu Dahu frowned. Li An said with a smile, "It's always good to have many skills.""Someone important seems to have said that the Mesozoic Era shouldn't interfere.""Only geniuses my age can compete for those ruins.""You know the human race has few allies here.""You're a weapon refiner, do you have any treasures that could hold your own?"Li An thought of the black and white beads he'd used during his previous mission in the Immortal Realm. They'd been taken back, but their almighty power had left a lasting impression.With something like this in his pocket, he felt at ease wherever he went.Liu Dahu snorted, thinking this guy was here to collect a debt.He really had become the head of the logistics department.His storage ring flashed, and a round, azure bead the size of a fingernail emerged. "K89 source bomb.""It can kill or cripple an ordinary peak-Eighth Realm cultivator.""Although none of you have reached the Eighth Realm yet, with the Dao Fruit, we can't judge your combat effectiveness based on normal circumstances.""The K89 should be about the same power."Li An raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't you have a K99?"Liu Dahu curled his lips and said, "A Divine Realm cultivator wouldn't be harmed by this explosive device.""The K99 explodes at the peak of the Ninth Realm, the most powerful explosive in the human world.""Each one is a strategic-level weapon.""You don't think that stuff is soybeans, a handful of them?"Li An said with a smile, "Then you're different.""Once the greatest weapon refiner in the human world.""You changed the world with a single move. Making this explosive is just a matter of a flick of the finger.""Amateur!" Liu Dahu snorted.If something capable of exploding a peak-Ninth Realm cultivator could be made with a flick of the finger, then there would be no need for the Great Wall. "Each K99 requires a massive amount of source energy. What do I mean by massive? Enough to boost a Ninth Realm cultivator's progress by 40%!""Do you understand?"Li An's face changed slightly upon hearing this.I see.40% of progress, even for a Ninth Realm cultivator, is better than using it as a one-time explosive.The cost-effectiveness is too low, so its availability is limited."Give me a few K89s then," Li An chuckled."Right now, Frost and Pluto are at loggerheads, with dozens of geniuses gathered. I can't control them."Liu Dahu, looking at Li An's sly eyes, snorted, "Only three, no more."He tossed two more to Li An, then pulled out a booklet, saying, "Read the instruction manual thoroughly before using!""Okay, Li, I understand." Li An, reading the booklet, led Huihui and Yuri out the door. He even disguised himself, afraid of being recognized on the street. He simply adopted a scoundrel hairstyle, donned sunglasses, and wore a deep-V shirt, walking with a swagger.Gray led the way to the boat landing area.On the way, Li An kept his head down, reading the instruction manual.After understanding it, he suddenly snapped the booklet shut and said with a smile, "Wait.""What's wrong, Li An?" Gray asked innocently.Li An said, "Do you know where I can buy a heavy battleship in Cross City?""Huh?" Gray was startled. "Why buy a heavy battleship?""It's always good to have many skills." Li An looked at Yuri with a smile and said, "You definitely know.""I know, Li An." Yuri flapped his wings. Li An nodded and said, "Let's go buy something first."Gray Gray wondered, "When are we going to the ruins? It feels like a fight might be about to break out there.""I'm going to the restroom. Wait."Li An turned and went into the public restroom.When he came out again, Gray Gray was startled, looking at Li An with a strange feeling: "You changed your clothes?""Let's go," Li An said calmly.Then he boarded Gray Gray's shuttle and headed for Ruin Planet No. 2.
