Unaware of everything that was going on around him, Lin Fan continued down the passage that was in front of them.

Compared to the last room that they had been in, this passage was completely dark. It was almost like it was the opposite of the last room and was completely filled with darkness laws. However, Lin Fan couldn't find anything, so he knew that this was just a natural darkness.

Even with his spiritual sense that could spread several kilometers, he hadn't been able to see the bottom of these stairs, so he wasn't surprised that he didn't reach the end even after several minutes.

While Lin Fan was calm and didn't mind this slow walk down, Mo Ze Chen was feeling quite impatient because he was actually quite the impulsive person. While he could force himself to calm down when acting, his true nature was one of following his impulses.

Lin Fan found it annoying how he kept asking if they "were there yet" like a child, but at the same time, he didn't mind someone like this because they were usually not one to lie unless it was absolutely necessary.

But as they continued along the passage, moving down those stairs, they could hear some sounds that were coming from in front of them. Listening carefully, they could hear the sounds of moaning coming from in front of them. These were clearly the moans that came from human voices, but why would there be humans in these ruins?

Unless the other examinees had already reached this place before them and it was their voices that they were hearing in front of them, that wouldn't make sense since Lin Fan couldn't sense anything coming from in front of him.

It was almost as if there were no living people in front of him.

Could that mean that there were people that had survived in these ruins all the time?

Or rather would they be ghosts that had been trapped in here?

As they went further down these stairs, the moans continued to grow in volume until they seemed like they were right in front of them. But that wasn't the only thing that appeared, there was also a light that came from the bottom of the stairs.

The closer they came to it, the more light came from the bottom of the stairs until it was almost as bright as the room they had just been in.

Once they came through the exit, the first thing that appeared in front of them was another tree that was glowing with light laws, but this one was much more different compared to the last one.

After all, compared to the last one, this one was on a completely different scale.

The tree that appeared in front of them was more than ten times, more than a hundred times, even more than a thousand times bigger compared to the previous tree.

This tree was like the sacred world tree that Lin Fan had heard about in myths before, as it sprinkled its light all over this space.

Of course, a space that was able to hold a tree that was over three thousand meters tall definitely wasn't small.

In front of Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen was a giant space, so big that they couldn't even see the end of it. In that space, there was a city that was at the trunk of the tree, spreading across several dozen kilometers, maybe even more because they couldn't see the end of it.

In this city, walking through the streets were people who just moved along at a snail's pace, aimlessly wandering around.

Mo Ze Chen had been shocked at first, but after overcoming his shock, he shouted, "What is this place…Mm?"

Before he could finish, Lin Fan had already covered his mouth and brought him behind one of the buildings that was in front of them.

There were a few of these people who had turned in the direction of this sound, but seeing that there was no one there, they went back to wandering around the city aimlessly.

Lin Fan looked down at Mo Ze Chen who had a confused look on his face with an angry look as he said, "Are you going to be quiet?"

Mo Ze Chen couldn't say anything, so he just gave a nod.

After seeing this, Lin Fan hesitated a bit before removing his hand from Mo Ze Chen's mouth.

Mo Ze Chen had an aggrieved look as he asked, "Brother Lin, what was that for?"

Lin Fan glared at him as he said, "Are you an idiot? How do you know that they won't attack us?"

Mo Ze Chen was surprised, but then he realized that he had let his emotions take over and he had lost his cool.

Mo Ze Chen was a qualified ruins explorer, so he knew that he should always be careful when exploring anything new, but he had forgotten this when he became too emotional and made this loud noise.

Mo Ze Chen revealed an awkward look as he said, "Sorry about that."

Lin Fan didn't bother with him as he turned his attention to these people.

These were clearly people, but for some reason, he couldn't sense any signs of vitality coming from them with his spiritual sense. Even when they were coming down and he heard the moans, he hadn't been able to find anything.

Actually, when they were on the stairs, there was a kind of barrier that was at the exit of the stairs that had blocked his spiritual energy, so he hadn't been able to see what was actually inside. When he walked through the exit, he had been as surprised as Mo Ze Chen, but Lin Fan could recover faster because he had much more experience compared to Mo Ze Chen.

After using his spiritual sense, Lin Fan focused on these people and found that they were a bit see through.

Could it be that his first guess had been correct?

Were these people all ghosts that were trapped down here after these ruins were sealed?

While this question was on his mind, Lin Fan chose to ignore it first and decided to explore the building that they were hiding behind.

Mo Ze Chen had seen that Lin Fan wasn't saying anything, so he had also been looking around at these people, but then he saw Lin Fan suddenly move, so he followed behind him.

The two of them made their way to the entrance of the building and Lin Fan slowly opened the door. Once it was open, they slowly peeked in to see if there were any people inside, but what they found was nothing at all.

After this, they moved into the building and found that it was completely empty from top to bottom. There wasn't a single piece of furniture or any items in these buildings, there was just an empty building.

But the strange thing was, when Lin Fan tapped on the walls, he could feel some kind of strange law that was coming from it.

Lin Fan focused his life energy into a single point on his finger before tapping the wall, but there was a strange life energy that had repelled this single point attack.

It had to be known, this single point attack had combined three laws, so it was able to easily defeat someone in the Embryo Soul Realm, but this wall that seemed quite flimsy had been able to stop that attack.

Just what were these buildings made from?

Mo Ze Chen also saw this and tried hitting the wall with his own tests, but he also found that he couldn't make a dent to the wall at all.

After seeing this, Mo Ze Chen's eyes lit up and he took out a dagger.

Lin Fan could feel a familiar law coming from it and when he looked carefully, he found that this was a dagger that was covered in spatial laws.

Mo Ze Chen took that spatial law dagger to the wall to try to cut out a piece of it for his collection, but the moment the spatial law dagger made contact with the wall, he found that he could cut through it at all. However, Mo Ze Chen wasn't willing to give up, so he drew back the blade and used more strength to try and cut through the walls again.

It was too bad that these walls still wouldn't budge.

It was even worse because when Mo Ze Chen's spatial law dagger made contact with the wall, there was a sudden "snap" sound as the blade of the dagger suddenly broke. It flipped several times in the air before falling to the ground where it was unable to cut through the floors as well. It bounced several times before landing flat on the ground.

Both Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen looked at the spatial law dagger in surprise.

It was common knowledge that spatial laws were the best for cutting things because they separated the space in between items, cutting them on a completely different level.

Yet somehow, this wall had been able to resist the spatial laws of the dagger and had even snapped the dagger clean in half when Mo Ze Chen used more strength in his stab.

Just what kind of material was this wall made of?

Or rather, the better question was, what kind of law did this wall contain?

Mo Ze Chen on the other hand had tears in his eyes because he had lost his precious spatial law dagger.

Any spatial law item definitely wasn't cheap.
