Han Li's ears buzzed, and he felt as if countless strange sounds were drilling into his brain. He felt as if he were drunk and the world was spinning around him. Not only did he lose all five of his senses, but his vision was pitch black and he couldn't think in the slightest.

After an unknown period of time, he suddenly felt his body stop and sink.

"Bang!" A dull sound rang out.

Han Li felt his body hit hard on a hard ground, and half of his body was in pain.

Luckily, his body was extremely tough. Although his body was in pain, he wasn't injured, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

However, this fall also allowed his consciousness and five senses to recover, and his vision returned to normal.

Han Li looked around and faltered slightly upon seeing this.

All he could see was a dim yellow ground. There were countless black and yellow gravel of various sizes scattered everywhere. There was an endless wasteland in all directions. It looked like he was in a boundless, desolate desert.

The sky above his head was also a strange yellowish brown, as if there was a thick layer of yellow clouds. Occasionally, he could see a small white light flashing through the clouds, and it looked like white lightning.

The yellow clouds above his head rolled, and a vortex was faintly visible. It was quickly calming down, as if it had fallen from here.

Han Li slowly stood up from the ground and looked around.

He was the only one in the vast desert, and there was no trace of the others.

"Could this be the Great Ruins?

It's not much different from the outside world, and I wonder where the others are. "Han Li muttered to himself.

Just as he was about to leave, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he looked at the surrounding void.

In the void, there were traces of vital qi fluctuations. This vital qi was different from the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, and even the devil qi. Instead, it was very similar to the power of the stars, and it seemed to be quite dense.

Perhaps it was because of the nourishment of the power of the stars, there were some white moss-like plants growing between the cracks of the Stone on the ground, and it was no longer a lifeless land.

A strange light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. He silently activated the Heavenly Fiend Prison Suppression Technique.

The power of the stars in the vicinity immediately gathered and merged into his body.

Moreover, there was a lot of star power gathered. The speed at which he was absorbing the star power was not any slower than when he was refining the beast cores.

A hint of joy appeared on Han Li's face. He was already seventy to eighty percent sure that he was in the Great Ruins. Only a mystic realm like the Great Ruins could have such rich power of the stars.

Only an environment like this that was filled with the power of the stars would give birth to treasures like the Celestial Qilin Meteor Crystal and Sulphurflame Blood Cloud.

Although he wasn't injured, he was exhausted. There was no danger here, so he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the power of the stars.

In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

When Han Li opened his eyes again, he was full of energy and had completely recovered.

Not only that, one of the profound apertures on his body that he had been trying to break through for many days was stirring, showing faint signs of opening.

The power of the stars here seemed to be especially useful for opening new profound apertures. As long as he spent some time cultivating, this profound aperture would definitely open.

Even so, Han Li didn't plan to continue cultivating here. He got up and looked around again, his gaze quickly stopping in a direction on his right.

The situation in all directions was exactly the same. Only in the far horizon on his right, he could faintly see one or two shadows flashing by. However, the distance was too far, so he couldn't see clearly.

The pressure of the space in the Great Ruins was much stronger than in the Ice Fire Mountain Range. The range of his consciousness was reduced once again, to only a dozen miles. It was still incomparable to his eyesight.

Although he didn't know what was there, it was still somewhat different.

Han Li's body moved, and he hurriedly rushed in that direction.

After a moment, the shadows in front of him gradually became clear. They were short mountains that were dozens of yards tall. They were connected to each other, forming a continuous mountain range that stretched to the end of his vision.

These mountain peaks were completely black, faintly emitting rays of black light. They didn't seem to be ordinary mountain rocks, and the ground gradually changed from a desert to a hard mountain.

There were also quite a number of white plants growing on the ground, making the environment look less monotonous.

Han Li came to the front of the black mountain range and stopped in his tracks. He didn't enter rashly, but instead spread out his consciousness to explore all the movements in the surroundings.

Everything in the Great Ruins was unknown, so he didn't dare to be careless.

He carefully probed with his consciousness and didn't discover any danger in the mountain range in front of him. Only then did he step forward.

After walking for half a day, he didn't encounter any danger.

However, the nearby mountain peaks were getting taller and taller, reaching several hundred yards. However, the gaps between the mountain peaks had become wider.

After walking for a while, Han Li suddenly gave a soft cry of surprise and quickened his footsteps. After a moment, he came to the vicinity of an abnormally tall mountain peak.

The mountain was completely black and towered into the clouds like a black heavenly pillar. The top of the mountain impressively entered the clouds in the sky, and the top couldn't be seen.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a greyish-black palace building that occupied a huge area. It stretched to the end of his vision, but it was a pity that most of it had collapsed.

However, from the towering pillars of the palace and the exquisite murals and reliefs, one could vaguely feel the magnificence and magnificence of the palace in the past.

He took a few glances at the group of palaces in front of him and circulated the Myriad Apertures Silence Technique to conceal his aura. He carefully walked in and at the same time, spread out his consciousness to explore the surroundings.

After walking forward for a while, Han Li raised his eyebrows and hid behind a long wall of the palace. He walked along the wall to the end and carefully looked ahead.

A series of dull footsteps came from the front, and he saw a yellow puppet that was several yards tall walking slowly in the ruins not far away. From time to time, it would turn its head to look around, as if it was patrolling.

The puppet looked like a long-armed giant ape. It wore a heavy armor that was mostly broken, and the body beneath the armor was also covered in cracks. It held an old sawtooth battle knife in its hand, and it looked like it had stayed in the river of time for countless years.

Although the armor and the battle knife were weathered and broken, they still gave off a faint white light and rippled with the power of the stars.

"A Star Tool?" Han Li's eyes flashed as he looked at the giant ape puppet's armor and battle knife.

Then, he pondered for a moment and stopped circulating the Myriad Apertures Silence Technique. His figure shot out from behind the wall, and with a flash, he pounced behind the giant ape puppet.

The giant ape puppet suddenly turned around and let out a low roar. It raised the battle knife in its hand, and was about to chop down on Han Li's head.

But before its arm could chop down, a white light flashed, and the giant ape puppet's head flew into the sky. Its body was separated from its head, and its raised arm also froze in place.

"Rumble!" The giant ape puppet's huge body fell to the ground with a loud rumble.

Han Li's figure floated down from the air and landed beside the giant ape puppet.

The puppet was badly damaged, but it could still sense his attack and react. It should be quite powerful if it was in its prime.

He picked up the saw-toothed saber. The entire saber was made of a lustrous white material. It had been weathered a lot, and one could vaguely see some runes on the saber's blade that were faintly flashing with light.

"Huh?!" Han Li looked surprised.

The runes on the blade were extremely similar to the star runes that Madam Liuhua had taught him.

'Didn't Madam Liuhua's Star Restriction originate from her?

Could it be a coincidence? 'Han Li thought to himself.

He then turned his gaze to look at the puppet's armor, and it quickly stopped at a star rune.

This star rune was exactly the same as the "Star Link Rune" that Madam Liuhua had taught him. The minute changes were also completely identical, so it couldn't be a coincidence.

Han Li couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The puppet here seemed to have existed for tens of thousands of years, far longer than Madam Liuhua had created the star runes.

Perhaps Madam Liuhua's Star Restriction came from this Great Ruins, but how did she get it?

He waved his hand and threw away the battle knife in his hand. Although the knife still emitted some fluctuations of the power of the stars, it was already on the verge of collapse and couldn't be used anymore.

Han Li didn't stop there, and continued forward. Soon, he arrived at the depths of the palace.

The palace buildings in the depths were relatively intact, but it was a pity that it seemed to have been ransacked, and there were no precious treasures left.

He searched along the way, but other than a few ordinary ores, he found nothing.

However, he encountered quite a few puppets along the way.

He didn't get entangled with these puppets, either. He would hide if he could, and attack if he couldn't. These puppets had already been weathered and damaged, and their strength was greatly reduced, so it didn't take him much effort to deal with them.

After continuing onward for a short while, Han Li suddenly stopped.

His field of vision suddenly widened, and a tall, silver-gray building appeared in front of him. It seemed to be an altar, and it was surrounded by the buildings around the plaza like stars surrounding the moon.

The altar was built with a kind of rough and huge silver-gray boulder. It looked abnormally sturdy, and in reality, it was indeed so. Most of the buildings in the vicinity had collapsed due to weathering, and the altar was basically intact except for some mottled walls.

Han Li looked at the building in front of him, and his gaze landed on a horizontal board hanging at the entrance of the altar. On it were three big words, 'Glory Temple Hall', written in profound writing.

The door of the altar was wide open, and he could only see several yards ahead. The area in the depths was shrouded in darkness, and the door was like a huge mouth that swallowed everything that entered.

On the walls of the altar, he could faintly see star runes, and they gave off a restrictive force that prevented his consciousness from probing inside.

Han Li's eyes lit up when he saw this scene.

The altar here was well-preserved, and there was even a restriction laid down on it, so there must be something inside. It couldn't be an empty shell.

However, he couldn't go in rashly. He spread out his divine consciousness, and carefully explored the surrounding environment. He didn't find anything unusual, and his heart was slightly relieved. His figure flickered and appeared at the entrance of the altar hall.

Gusts of cold wind blew out from the door, brushing against his body. The wind contained a hint of coldness, and although it wasn't strong, it faintly seeped into his bones.

Han Li's brows wrinkled, but he didn't flinch, and walked into the hall.
