I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

Chapter 494 - 206: Heaven-Riding Race and Giant Spirit Pill!_3

"Continue!"

Seeing this, Shen Can wasn’t in a hurry.

It being hard was a good sign.

If it weren’t this sturdy, it would have long been dug away by the Earth Ant.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Inside the Grotto Heaven, the sound of continuous rumbling echoed, as the three Clan Guardian Beasts took turns in action, one exhausted, another one took over.

Shen Can wasn’t idle either, using Divine Sense to penetrate the ground fissures, directing the War Beasts on where to strike.

By channeling power along the fissures, it allowed the land to crack open more quickly.

Centered around the Earth Ant’s palace, the fluctuating hills within three miles had long collapsed into ruins, with the ground’s cracks spreading like a spiderweb.

The soil and stones spewing up were cleared layer by layer, yet the stones beneath grew increasingly solid.

Later, even the Old Profound Turtle and the clan members joined in, unleashing attacks under Shen Can’s command on this area.

A month later, the excavation range expanded to a radius of ten miles.

There was no choice, as some areas were too solid for even Tier Four to break.

Therefore, Shen Can could only use Divine Sense to locate relatively brittle spots, guiding the clan members in striking, thereby continuously expanding the range.

"This megalith is so solid, it would definitely be good material for building the Ancestral Temple!"

Looking at the bizarrely shaped stones standing in the pit, the resting clan members started chatting.

They had witnessed that even the Clan Guardian Beasts were powerless against these towering stones.

Soon after.

Two months passed, and the cleared area reached a radius of fifty miles.

"Crack!"

On this day, the resting Dragon Horn swung its tail and smashed down from above.

The sound of shattering echoed, initially unnoticed, but soon "crack," "crack" sounds followed.

The strike from the Dragon Horn triggered a chain reaction, with large fissures rapidly spreading like webs in all directions.

When each crack opened, the once steadfast stones standing like mountains began tumbling deeper into the fissures.

Some clan members working on the stones were unable to evade and slipped into the cracks too.

The commotion lasted for a quarter of an hour before ceasing, and calls of surprise came from within the fissures.

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, there’s a palace here!"

"Ancestral Temple Keeper, I found white bones here!"

...

In the sprawling cracks spanning dozens of miles, white bones were embedded in the crack walls, some half-buried in stone, with palaces stuck halfway out.

At the center of the fissures was a stone egg of considerable size, covered in layers of stone skin, endlessly emitting Earth Source Power.

Crack!

As a piece of stone skin fell, a golden shimmer burst out from the stone egg’s surface.

Crack!

As everyone gazed at the stone egg in astonishment, it cracked open.

The shattering stone egg emanated waves of golden light, rippling like water, with a powerful aura sweeping in all directions.

"There really is an egg, if it weren’t petrified, I’d eat it and become like that Luwu."

The Golden Sword looked at the stone egg, murmuring.

Sadly, the Dragon Horned Wilderness Beast mocked, "Even if it weren’t petrified at all, you wouldn’t be able to get close to it."

"Look at this pressure, even we can’t withstand it, how much essence could possibly remain?"

"Open your tiger eyes, it’s petrified, the emerging glow might be the only essence left."

...

Amidst the bickering war beasts, the Blazing Flame Clan People, after snapping out of their daze, quickly got busy.

After some bustling, they finally figured out the sudden appearance of the ruins.

Several complete skeletons were laid out before Shen Can, belonging to a race with white jade-like wings on their backs, feathered bodies.

"Heaven-Riding Race, residing on the backs of Giant Beasts, with no fixed abode."

Shen Can recalled that Master Huo Xian once said, in distant lands there were great clans, dwelling in the sky, unafraid of deluge or plague.

Master Huo Xian probably didn’t know the Heaven-Riding Race and most likely read about it in a travelogue or journal.

"Seems flying in the sky is dangerous too."

Tian Dan scratched his big head, comparing his size with a Heaven-Riding Race skeleton.

"Don’t just stand there, even with a Giant Beast as a habitat, flying requires great strength.

Clear out all the relics in the cracks, don’t miss a single character or patterned stone.

There should be a City of Giant Beasts here, continue excavating along the fissure for the others."

After arranging for the clan members, Shen Can and the Old Turtle approached the cracked Giant Pill.

"It’s a pity, it’s not aligned with my attribute."

The Old Profound Turtle circled around the Beast Pill, "But it’s preserved for so long with residual energy, the Giant Beast’s power in life must have at least been Tier Six or Seven."

Saying the Giant Beast was Tier Six or Seven was merely Old Turtle’s assumption based on personal perception.

"Who knows."

Shen Can wasn’t concerned about what tier the Giant Beast was in life.

To him, whether it’s Tier Six, Tier Seven, or even Tier Eight, he couldn’t consume it now if placed before him.

He’d rather let it vent on its own, the remaining energy is just right for his use.

No matter how good something is, if it can’t be used, it’s useless.
