Skyfall City

Chapter 31: Skyfall City

In less than half a day, Chen Yun and his companions had left the jungle without encountering any formidable Fierce Beasts.

Chen Yun was easygoing and good-tempered. Although he didn't talk much, he quickly gained the favor of the other five people.

Among them, Brian was the most talkative and friendly. His every move exuded an indescribable noble aura, which greatly increased Chen Yun's good impression of him and made him curious about Brian's identity. However, he couldn't ask directly.

Niya, on the other hand, kept looking at Chen Yun. She had always felt a strange sensation and a sense of curiosity towards the young man who had saved her.

After all, a Fourth Order Peak King at such a young age, with combat power comparable to an ordinary Fifth Order Sect Master, possessed terrifying talent.

As for the rugged and honest-looking France, his personality was completely at odds with his appearance; he was like a living treasure.

Chen Yun's image of being powerful, invincible, and violent that day was deeply etched in his mind.

Therefore, France followed Chen Yun enthusiastically, acting as if he were taking Chen Yun as his leader, which made Chen Yun quite helpless.

France, with eyes full of admiration, declared, "You are my big brother from now on! Big brother, please take me as your little brother!"

Chen Yun naturally refused. He was only 12 years old, while France was a full five years older. Although Chen Yun looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, the childishness on his face had not yet faded.

Moreover, having a rugged-looking guy constantly calling him "big brother" made Chen Yun feel strange!

France kept circling Chen Yun the entire way. Chen Yun had no choice but to use the "Push" technique, telling France to reach Fourth Order first.

This statement was interpreted by France as his own strength being too weak to be worthy of being Chen Yun's little brother.

However, France quickly thought it over and agreed. His boss was so strong, so he, as a subordinate, couldn't be too weak.

He immediately patted his chest with a "bang bang" sound and solemnly agreed with a face full of determination.

As for Lia, she was also easy to get along with and naturally quiet. She admired Chen Yun greatly.

Although Guke didn't say a word the entire way, a hint of admiration could be seen in his gaze towards Chen Yun.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way. As the sun began to set, the group finally reached a human city.

Skyfall City, its name lived up to its reputation.

Black city walls stood tall and majestic, about a hundred zhang high. As far as the eye could see, the entire sky seemed to have fallen onto the top of the city, giving a strong sense of oppression.

The entire city was made of uniform black-gold giant rocks. Black-gold giant rock was a very hard type of stone, wide and thick. Even the full force attack of a Sixth Order Emperor could not completely penetrate it, demonstrating its remarkable hardness.

Chen Yun looked at the jet-black giant city before him with awe. This was the first human city he had seen since being reborn into this world. In his previous life, he had never seen such magnificent and towering architecture.

At the same time, information flashed through Chen Yun's mind. This was all told to him by Siri before he left.

The entire War God Continent had four great empires.

The Tianwu Empire, occupying the southwest region.

The Sage Empire in the southeast region. Legend had it that its founding emperor was a Saint, hence the name Sage Empire.

Then there was the God Empire located in the northeast region, rumored to have some connection with the War God Academy.

And in the northwest region was the Proud Moon Empire. Skyfall City was the gateway to the northeastern border of the Proud Moon Empire.

In addition, there were four academies in the four regions of the continent.

The War God Academy in the north, the Knight Academy in the south, which specifically recruited Knights. Knights were also a very important profession on the continent, and their dean was a Saint Dragon Knight.

To the west and east were the Purple Moon Academy and the Golden Moon Academy, named after the two moons in the sky of the War God Continent. The two academies had a good relationship and were collectively known as the Twin Moon Academy.

The geographical locations of the four academies were precisely between the four great empires. The continent had been peaceful for a hundred years, and the four academies played a significant role in this peace.

Of course, the War God Continent was vast, and some areas were unknown. People's understanding of the entire continent was limited to a certain range.

For example, the Heavenly Chasm Gorge in the central part of the continent, the Golden Beast Forest within the northwestern border of the Proud Moon Empire, the Bone Burial Desert within the northeastern border of the God Empire, the Volcano Ridge within the southeastern border of the Sage Empire, and the Forest of Curses within the southwestern border of the Tianwu Empire.

These were known as the five dangerous lands of the War God Continent.

Legend had it that many powerful individuals had ventured deep into them to explore, but without exception, no one who entered ever came out. Since then, no one dared to enter.

As for the Hundred Thousand Forest where Chen Yun's village was located, it was not among them. After all, the unknown was what was truly terrifying.

Although the Hundred Thousand Forest was rampant with Fierce Beasts, and there might even be Venerable Rank Fierce Beasts, it paled in comparison to the five dangerous lands.

It was known that powerful individuals, including Venerable Rank powerhouses, had entered the five dangerous lands in the past, yet no news of them had ever returned. It was clear that the five dangerous lands deserved their name.

The entire War God Continent was still vast and not as simple as it appeared on the surface. This was what Siri had told him before he left.

Chen Yun took a deep breath and praised in a low voice, "As expected of Skyfall City, its name truly fits!"

Niya, hearing Chen Yun's words, proudly chimed in, "Of course! Skyfall City is the gateway to the northeastern border of my Proud Moon Empire. It's the largest city besides the imperial capital, and it faces the Hundred Thousand Forest, having repelled wave after wave of Fierce Beast tides."

Chen Yun looked at her in surprise and asked, "Are you from the Proud Moon Empire?"

Chen Yun had long been curious about their identities. Judging by her and Brian's demeanor, they should be nobles of the Proud Moon Empire!

Chen Yun himself was mature and meticulous, so he had guessed some of it.

Brian, standing nearby, subtly glared at Niya and replied with a smile, "That's right! My little sister and I are indeed from the Proud Moon Empire. We were too busy rushing on our journey and forgot to introduce ourselves, hehe. Guke and Lia are also from the Proud Moon Empire, as for France..."

Before Brian could finish speaking, France quickly ran to Chen Yun and said with a simple smile, "Big brother, your little brother is a citizen of the God Empire... a citizen! Hehe!" France paused slightly, his eyes flickering, and chuckled.

"Oh!" Chen Yun looked thoughtfully at France and Brian.

"I'm also from the Proud Moon Empire, aren't I? Hehe!" Although the Hundred Thousand Forest wasn't within the borders of the Proud Moon Empire, it was close enough. He could consider himself one of them, Chen Yun thought.

"Oh? Chen Yun, you're from the Proud Moon Empire too! Haha... I never expected our Proud Moon Empire to have a genius like you! Truly a blessing for the empire!" Brian stared at Chen Yun with a gleam in his eyes, speaking loudly.

"Of course!" France said with a fawning expression, "He's the boss I've chosen! Hehe."

His honest demeanor immediately drew laughter. Even Guke, who was usually cold, had the corner of his mouth twitch upwards.

Chen Yun gave France a helpless look and said, "Then let's head into the city now!"

With that, he walked towards the city gate, which was about three zhang high. The others quickly followed behind him.
