As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

Ron, Elsa and Philomena are all very fast.

The Temple of Dusk was at least several thousand kilometers away from the Dulles Mountains, but for these people it would only take two or three days.

Coming back to the Dragon Valley, looking around, I saw that the surroundings had almost completely turned into a desert, with large and small stones piled together randomly, and pits dug by practitioners everywhere.

It seems that even after Ron and his people took away almost all the dragon crystals, dragon bones, and dragon meat in the Dragon Valley, there are still many adventurers trying to search for treasures in this dilapidated Dragon Valley.

For those adventurers, even if they could find a piece of rotten dragon meat, a broken bone, or even just a dragon nail in the Dragon Valley, it would be considered a very good harvest. After all, these things could be sold at a very exaggerated price in the Dusk Continent.

Golden light scattered from the top of the head.

The ground was also covered with a layer of golden light.

Looking up, the Dusk Temple was still suspended in the air, shining brightly like a golden sun, emitting dazzling light both day and night.

There are no practitioners coming to explore the Dragon Valley.

Ever since the last Dusk King Zhou Yang moved back into the Dusk Temple two years ago, the gates of the Dusk Temple have been closed. Since then, countless practitioners have tried every possible means to reopen the gates of the Dusk Temple.

Unfortunately, their efforts received no rewards.

Over time, the once popular Dusk Temple lost its former bustle and gradually became deserted.

Standing on the Gobi Desert, Ron sighed and glanced at the rubble around him. Everything he had experienced in the Dragon Valley emerged in his mind.

The time spent practicing on the Soul-Ferrying Boat was really too long.

Eighty-nine years.

Many memories have even become a little fuzzy.

He shook his head and slowly floated towards the sky.

Philomena and Elsa followed immediately.

The vertical distance between the Temple of Dusk and the Dragon Valley is about one thousand meters, which is not very good. In just a few tens of seconds, several figures have landed at the gate of the Temple of Dusk.

It is still the gate that towers into the clouds.

Magnificent.

On the gate, one can even see some traces of knives, hammers, axes and chisels. It is obvious that many adventurers have tried to remove this Dusk Gate and take it away.

After all, it is pure gold.

Look at the height and thickness of this gate, its weight is absolutely exaggerated.

Even a legendary practitioner would be tempted.

But it was obvious that those people's efforts were meaningless.

The Temple of Dusk has always been filled with some kind of mysterious power, which connects every corner and every building of the Temple of Dusk into a whole. The difficulty of destroying this door is definitely no less than destroying the entire Temple of Dusk.

The dragon clan had once tried to destroy the entire Dusk Temple, and the end result was the complete demise of the dragon clan.

Ron's finger fell on the door and he pushed it with a little force. There was a rumbling sound and a creaking sound of metal rubbing against stone, which almost entered the ears of several people at the same time.

The heavy golden door, which weighed dozens or hundreds of tons, could not hold its own at all at this moment and was pushed open little by little by Ron.

As soon as the golden gate cracked open a gap large enough for one person to pass through, Ron immediately stopped what he was doing, dodged, and walked in through the gap.

Elsa and Philomena did the same and quickly entered the interior of the Temple of Dusk.

After all three of them entered, there was another strange roar from the door behind them. The door that Ron had just pushed open closed by itself without anyone operating it.

Ron did not show much surprise at this situation. He did not even turn his head to look. He just looked forward. The Temple of Dusk was not much different from what he remembered.

If I have to say there is something different, perhaps it’s... the aura?

That's right, it's the breath.

Although the Dusk Temple was flashing with golden light everywhere, the golden light was also mixed with gloom and depression.

The eerie feeling makes people tremble inexplicably with every step when walking in the Temple of Dusk.

But now, that eerie feeling has disappeared, and what remains is pure brightness... Even if there is no sunlight shining down, it can still make people feel warm in their hearts.

After taking a quick look, Ron quickly retracted his gaze and walked deeper into the Temple of Dusk.

The road was so wide and the wall next to it was so tall that when Ron was walking on the road, he even felt so small, like a tiny insect, not worth mentioning.

The Twilight Temple appears to have been cleaned.

Ron remembered it very clearly. In the Dusk Temple, there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, broken stone slabs on the ground, broken bricks, collapsed houses, and rusty weapons everywhere.

But now, all of this has disappeared.

The filthy ground seemed to have been washed many times with clean water, and the ground was clean as a mirror.

Ron could even vaguely see his own image on the extremely smooth polished floor.

The collapsed courtyard wall was rebuilt.

Dilapidated houses were also renovated.

Except for the fact that no one lives there, it's a perfect, giant city, spotless.

Although it is very quiet, the journey makes people feel happy.

No one knew how long they had been walking, but the sound of heavy metal boots stepping on the ground came into everyone's ears. Not far ahead on the road, a row of warriors in golden armor appeared in front of everyone.

All of these warriors are of a size comparable to that of giants.

Their entire bodies are covered with golden armor, even their heads are no exception. Their pairs of golden eyes may be the only parts of them exposed to the air. Thick and long metal spears like pillars are held in the arms of these burly warriors. Just by looking at the size of the spears, it is not difficult to guess the weight of this weapon.

If hit by this thing, even a legendary practitioner would not be able to gain any benefit.

This is Duskguard.

Ron frowned slightly. He could clearly feel that these Dusk Guards were different from those he had encountered before.

When the Temple of Dusk was first opened, the Dusk Guards were the main monsters in the Temple of Dusk. Most of the practitioners who broke into the Temple of Dusk and tried to find treasures died at the hands of these Dusk Guards.

Although the Dusk Guards at that time were also wearing armor, through the gaps in the armor, one could still see the bodies inside the armor. They were as shriveled as tree trunks, like a group of huge mummies.

There was only a strange dark red light emanating from under the eye sockets of the helmet.

Their movements were as rigid as their bodies.

But now, that feeling of stiffness has disappeared, and under the helmet are a pair of golden, lively eyes.

It was as if these mummies, which had been dead for eight thousand years, suddenly came back to life.

A former Dusk Guardian, he hated all living things, and any practitioners who broke into the Dusk Temple would be hunted down and attacked indiscriminately.

But now, even though these Dusk Guards noticed the existence of Ron and others, they had no intention of launching an attack immediately. Ron even saw a few Dusk Guards nodding slightly at him, behaving very politely.

When Ron and the others approached, these huge monsters, which were fifty or sixty times taller than Ron, even took the initiative to make way for Ron to travel with them.

Even though Ron was knowledgeable and experienced, his expression became very strange when he saw such a scene.

After passing through these Dusk Guards, Ron headed straight towards the royal tomb.

He did not go to the palace of the Dusk King. He knew that Zhou Yang was most likely hiding in the royal tomb.

When he arrived at the entrance of the mausoleum, Ron found that the mausoleum that had been destroyed had been renovated. In fact, he also had a contribution in the destruction of the mausoleum. He hoped that Zhou Yang would not care about this little thing since they were all from the same hometown.

Philomena and Elsa quietly followed Ron as he walked through the twists and turns. The passages in the mausoleum were complicated and there were countless forks in the road, but Ron was obviously very familiar with the place and walked along without any hesitation.

But it only took a few minutes to finally reach the end of the passage, and in front of them was an extremely wide and huge square. The area of ​​this square was probably wider than the squares of any country in the Dusk Continent.

The square is nearly 10,000 meters long, several thousand meters wide, and several hundred meters high.

There are torches on the stone walls around.

The atmosphere here is a little depressing and a little eerie.

Around the square, there are huge stone pillars with a diameter of at least one meter and a height of hundreds of meters. The tops of the stone pillars are shaped like huge flower pots. The flower pots seem to be filled with a large amount of fuel that will never be exhausted. Clusters of flames are jumping on the tops of the stone pillars.

There are at least hundreds of giant torches like this throughout the square.

The jumping flames illuminated the interior of the mausoleum with a strange light, and the shadows of the people on the ground were also swaying.

The firelight dispelled the darkness and shone on the huge ancient bronze coffins in the center of the square, even making these bronze coffins appear somewhat bright red.

Each ancient bronze coffin is at least a hundred meters long and several dozen meters wide. They are all wrapped with densely packed chains as thick as an adult's waist. The other side of the chains is connected to the void.

This scene is almost exactly the same as the scene where the last Twilight King was suppressed.

"Brother, you are finally here."

Just as Philomena was shocked by the exaggerated scene in this place, a muffled sound like thunder resounded in the space, tearing the silence at the scene and entering everyone's ears.

Philomena's body trembled slightly, and her pretty face turned pale.

Ron and Elsa immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from. It was in the left corner, between two giant torches, sitting a huge monster.

Even when sitting on the ground, he is still several dozen meters tall.

His legs were as thick as stone pillars, looking even more exaggerated than the torch next to him.

There was a slight smile on his square face.

Well... this guy's smile is a bit creepy.

There's no way around it. No matter who it is, seeing this guy smile and his front teeth that look like door panels exposed will be creepy.

It is so huge that any normal human being would feel instinctive fear when facing such a behemoth.

This person is naturally Zhou Yang.

Just like the news Philomena received, Zhou Yang has not been idle in these years.
