a mirror, he was astonished to find that around his divine consciousness, an endless number of mirrors appeared again.Even then, he knew that if he allowed his consciousness to enter one of the mirro...Ji Kongfan at this moment, is walking through a place of extraordinarily eerie darkness.

Around him, sometimes a flame flower would quietly bloom, sometimes a vortex of wind would appear out of thin air, and sometimes a thundercloud covering an area of tens of thousands of miles would appear across the sky!

Here is the connecting area between the third and fourth layers of this relic site.

Those suddenly appearing scenes are from some kind of power left behind by an unknown emperor, incredibly powerful, like ghosts, appearing and disappearing silently.

Even with Ji Kongfan's formidable strength, several of his avatars have already died here.

And about a hundred meters ahead of him, there was another figure, moving almost at a snail's pace, inching forward bit by bit.

Of course, this figure was an ice puppet made by Gu Bingyan.

Although it is merely an ice puppet, because of Ancient Bing Yan's divine consciousness residing within it, it can also be considered his avatar, possessing its own divine intellect.

The two of them had entered this area, one after the other, and it had already been three days.

And at this moment, Gu Bingyan's white clothes were already tattered and torn, his whole body covered in large and small holes.

He originally thought that as long as he sacrificed some cultivation, he should be able to pass through this area smoothly.

But he never expected that the power within this area would suddenly become stronger and more chaotic than any other connected region.

If that's all there is to it, then with his skill and a little bit of pain, he could make it through.

But to him, what was more terrifying than all these imperial powers was Ji Kongfan who always followed behind him!

Ji Kongfan was like a death god, several times he almost killed him, leaving him to flee for his life.

Even, he was somewhat suspicious that Ji Kongfan was like himself, also coming from the sixth layer of the ruins, and also a king-level expert.

Otherwise, how could there be such terrifying strength!

Furthermore, the magical techniques Ji Kongfan wielded and the power they possessed were beyond anything an imperial-level expert like him had ever seen or even heard of.

Apart from the fact that Ji Kongfan possesses time-manipulating abilities, what puzzles him most is the sheer number of his avatars. There are simply too many.

It can be drawn upon endlessly, used without depletion, and each avatar seems to possess the same immense power as the original.

Or perhaps, he doesn't even know which Ji Kongfan is the true original.

He personally witnessed Ji Kongfan being struck by the Emperor's power several times, even reduced to ashes.

But in the blink of an eye, another Ji Kongfan appeared unharmed behind him!

This made him almost completely lose his courage to continue fighting Ji Kongfan, and he deeply regretted why he had provoked Ji Kongfan.

Originally, Ji Kongfan was preparing to leave. But she unexpectedly stopped him!

Now, his patience, stamina, everything is truly reaching its limit.

Finally, when the distance between Ji Kongfan and him had shrunk to only ten meters, he suddenly stopped his movements, turned around, and facing Ji Kongfan, said with a sincere expression: "Friend, can you please hold on for a moment I have something to say."

Ji Kongfan really stopped his steps and looked at him with interest, saying: "Go on!"

Gu Bingyan swallowed hard and said, "Friend, I don't know if you have ever traveled through such an area, but I can tell you for sure that I have crossed it many times, but I have never seen an area where the power of emperors is so chaotic and powerful."

"Back then, although this place was dangerous, it wasn't nearly as bad as now. Even strong individuals like us could have fallen here."

"Therefore, I think that within the three layers of the ruins, something major must have happened, causing this area to be affected."

Although we are enemies, the Imperial Battlefield Ruins are extremely important and relate to the safety of our four surrounding regions. Therefore, we should temporarily put aside our grudges, return to the fourth layer of the ruins as soon as possible, leave the ruins, and inform the powerful figures guarding the ruins about the abnormal situation here so that they can be prepared.

"If we continue to fight here, even if you ultimately manage to kill me, you will undoubtedly be seriously injured. Perhaps, you too would meet your end here."

Furthermore, although we have some past grievances between us, and I admit I was in the wrong first, it doesn't mean we have to fight to the death.

"Why don't we do this Just let me go, and I will agree to any condition you ask for."

"I am merely a puppet. My true self is an Emperor-level powerhouse. My clan, the Four Realms Hidden, is considered a powerful one. Therefore, I can definitely fulfill your conditions."

For example, your clan, the Annihilation Clan, should just be a small clan. When I return to the Four Realms after this, I can completely help your clan and let all your people live better lives.

After hearing Gu Bingyan's words, Ji Kongfan seemed to be moved, lost in thought.

In fact, Ji Kongfan had already noticed that this Gu Bingyan who was chasing him was just a puppet.

After being injured, the opponent's body wouldn't bleed. Instead, a faint chill would emanate from them, unlike that of a normal human body.

A moment later, Ji Kongfan spoke, "Do you think something big might have happened on the third floor of the ruins"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Gu Bingyan nodded repeatedly. "It's not possible, it's certain!"

"The anomaly here is the best evidence!"

Then Ji Kongfan continued, "So tell me, what kind of major event could have happened"

"I don't know about that," said Gu Bingyan, shaking her head.

"The Imperial War Ruins, don't be fooled by the fact that they are now open for all talented individuals from different races to test their strength. In reality, this place still holds many secrets and dangers."

To be frank, one of the purposes of opening up these ruins is to allow talented individuals from various races to explore the secrets within.

"And every batch of prodigies who enter will have a large number of deaths, but the secrets hidden here, I'm afraid not even one-tenth has been explored. Therefore, I really don't know either."

Ji Kongfan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Since that's the case, you can die too!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ji Kongfan suddenly raised his hand. A gust of wind shot out from his palm and directly enveloped Gu Bingyan.

The latter's face changed drastically in that moment, he didn't expect Ji Kongfan to actually make a move to kill him.

And feeling the terrifying power contained within this gust of wind, Gu Bingyan also gave up struggling. He just had a ferocious face and glared fiercely at Ji Kongfan: "You killed, only my puppet."

Then, just wait for the pursuit of my true self!

I will not only kill you, but I will also eradicate your Annihilation Clan!

Ji Kongfan looked at Gu Bingyan with a calm expression and said, "Forgot to tell you, our Mie clan is not some small clan, but a unique and powerful clan!"

"It has always been, and it always will be!"

After uttering those words, Ji Kongfan ignored the rapidly vanishing Gu Bingyan, whose body was already being blown away by the Annihilating Wind. He took slow steps and walked past him.

However, Ji Kongfan did not heed Gu Bingyan's advice and return to the fourth layer of the ruins, but instead continued walking towards the third layer.

Looking at Ji Kongfan's back, Gu Bingyan let out a roar filled with unwillingness from his mouth, and finally disappeared completely, returning to oblivion!

Ji Kongfan shook his head gently and sighed, "I don't know. I wonder if what happened on the third floor has anything to do with Jiang Yun."

"I won't rest easy until I see it with my own eyes!"

---

At the same moment Gu Bingyan's ice puppet dissipated, his main body also squeezed out six characters from between his teeth.

"Ji Kongfan, the Annihilation Clan!"

Although he didn't know exactly what happened in that chaotic area, he at least knew his ice puppet died at the hands of Ji Kongfan!

And with Bing Kui's death, it meant that he had to personally go to the third layer of the ruins to complete the mission the Forbidden Land had entrusted him with.

"Well then, I'll grab that Gu Yun and Ji Kongfan too. While I'm at it, let's see what happened on the third floor!"

Gu Bingyan finally stepped out from beneath the ice-covered land that had been sealed for ten thousand miles. With a gloomy expression, he walked towards the ruins on the third level!seal is also the standard that people use to judge whether there will be good things inside the blood-sealed stone.Needless to say, some blood-sealed stones might even display some anomalies before th...
