Chapter 495: Chapter 293: Divine Ruins, System Malfunction

"What is this?"

The words were murmured softly. Count Engel looked at the shattered ruins, his brow slightly furrowed. Having reached Half-Step Sanctuary, he could clearly sense the extraordinariness of this place.

"Such intense Power of Laws!"

Reine whisperingly commented, his expression somewhat puzzled.

In contrast to the two men’s surprise, Thor was scrutinizing his surroundings with keen eyes.

Count Engel and Reine may not know, but Thor was aware this was a Divine Ruins.

Moreover, it was the remains of a top-tier Deity who had fallen.

His gaze studied the site.

His Spiritual Power permeated throughout the entire Divine Ruins.

And seemingly because of their entry.

A hidden force within the Divine Ruins was triggered.

"Buzz!"

A ripple spread downward, and the next moment, countless Powers of Laws began intertwining, while simultaneously, a fluctuation echoed from the space-time around them.

"Not good!"

"Retreat!"

Count Engel’s expression changed, and the next moment, he grabbed Thor, ready to retreat swiftly.

Yet he was already too late when he reacted.

Boom.

Rumble.

The entire valley started to tremble violently, with sand and rocks tumbling down rapidly, while the ruins swayed and numerous broken structures began shaking.

The space-time within the valley intertwined, instantly isolating it from the outside world.

Outside.

Above the valley.

"Roar!"

A tremendous beast roar sounded, as a Tier Five Earth-bound Dragon appeared, causing a Knight Order to completely scatter, with a young knight desperately fleeing.

Yet the oppressive sensation behind him grew even stronger.

"Boom!"

A vast, scorching Dragon Breath swept across.

Fapuer instinctively ducked down.

The Dragon Breath passed by, the scorching heat seemingly combusting the air, and his clothing instantly caught fire. He hurriedly struggled to remove it.

But before he could take his next step, the rumbling sound echoed from behind, as two Earth-bound Dragons emerged from the forest, their eyes bloodthirstily fixed on him.

He instinctively wanted to retreat.

But just a few steps back, his movements involuntarily stopped, because behind him was a cliff.

"Damn it, how could there be so many Earth-bound Dragons here!"

Fapuer’s expression was grim, his thoughts constantly swirling.

But despite the countless thoughts intertwining, he couldn’t figure out any solution at that moment.

The power of the Earth-bound Dragons, even at their lowest as Tier Four Magical Beasts, was not something he could contend with at the Great Knight Peak.

Not to mention competing.

He couldn’t even manage to escape.

Looking at the two Earth-bound Dragons fixating on him, then at the towering cliff that stretched hundreds of meters high.

Fapuer gritted his teeth, then without any hesitation turned around and leaped off the cliff.

He understood very well, at this moment, aside from jumping off the cliff, he had no other option.

Escape was impossible with his strength, and fighting was downright impractical.

Conversely, if the river below the cliff was deep enough, he might have a slight chance with his Great Knight’s physique.

His silhouette plummeted rapidly.

Moments later.

"Splash!"

A clear sound of entering water resounded.

Following the current, Fapuer managed to crawl ashore with difficulty.

His luck seemed decent; the river was deep enough that he wasn’t shattered to death.

Not even his body suffered any injury.

And as he struggled to climb out, his eyes couldn’t help but brighten.

For right in front of him, a gleaming fruit tree appeared, with a fragrant fruit hanging on its small branches, causing him to involuntarily swallow.

"This, is this?"

Fapuer murmured, his eyes wide in disbelief.

He recognized the tree before him; it was none other than the Fruit of Life.

After leaping off the cliff, he unexpectedly found a Fruit of Life.

Instinctively glancing around, and feeling elated, Fapuer carefully proceeded forward to pick it.

Yet during the picking, for some unknown reason, he felt a sense of emptiness, as if he had missed something.

But soon, Fapuer shook his head to dismiss this feeling; the acquisition of a Fruit of Life was far beyond his expectations.

With this Fruit of Life, he now had considerable assurance of advancing to Sky Knight.

Sky Knight, even in his family, wasn’t achievable by everyone.

Of course, Count Engel and others were unaware of this individual’s experiences.

Nor would Thor know about the inadvertent entry of an unknown figure into the Divine Ruins, though he failed to explore it but unexpectedly acquired a Fruit of Life.

If known, even Thor couldn’t help but marvel at the individual’s luck.

After all, such luck couldn’t be possessed without considering the daily intelligence system.

Yet at this moment, he was unaware, as the daily intelligence system had failed to refresh due to the conflict between Fruit of Life and Divine Ruins.

Boom.

Rumble.

The enormous tremors continued to spread.

The entire surrounding space-time was completely isolated.

Meanwhile, the tattered ruins faintly transformed, with the Power of Laws continuously spreading, reality and fantasy began to intertwine, and the broken buildings seemed to commence a reversal of time.

The fragments gradually began forming a whole, and figures started appearing around them.

As time passed, people felt as if they were standing in a wondrous domain.
