Central Divine Tower
"What is that seven-colored fierce bird?" Yi Yun asked the people around him. He had made a few friends these days.
"That's Fire Devouring Bird, possessing a trace of the bloodline of the ancient beast Vermilion Bird. Both the Blaze Beast and the Blaze Beast are Fire Element Savage Beast. Consuming the Fire-Splitting Beast will help it evolve and overcome its tribulation. Although they are both beasts, their strengths differ greatly!"
Beside Yi Yun, a slightly chubby boy spoke.
This boy's name is Xu Zheng, and he is a friend that Yi Yun met along the way.
Xu Zheng stroked his chubby chin, licked his lips, and said, "A wild beast with ancient bloodline, tsk tsk, this is a great tonic. If we could catch it and refine it into the Savage Bone Relic of the Fire Devouring Bird, it would be priceless on the market, and countless people would be vying to buy it."
These days, Yi Yun has also learned about the strength classification of the wild beasts.
The weakest are ordinary wild beasts. The difference between them and ferocious beasts is that they can manipulate the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, just like the difference between a mortal blood martial artist before the Qi Induction Realm and Purple Blood Martial Practitioner has broken through to the Qi Induction Realm.
After ordinary wild beasts come elite-level wild beasts, Beast General level wild beasts, King-level Savage Beast...
Further up, there are rumors of primordial beasts and ancient beasts, which are beyond Yi Yun's comprehension.
The most important criterion for judging the strength of a wild beast is its bloodline. Generally speaking, wild beasts with ancient bloodlines are more powerful.
If one could kill an Ancient Remnant Species, the relics and elixirs refined from their precious bones and blood would be of immeasurable value.
Of course, all of this is too far away for Yi Yun. He can barely defeat ordinary wild beasts now, let alone Ancient Remnant Species.
As darkness fell, the airship cabin erupted in noise again. Yi Yun looked into the distance and was completely awestruck by what he saw.
He had heard before that the Divine Desolation Army Camp was located in a city, a city that stood in the Divine Wilderness and was the divine city of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom!
Seeing is believing, and now that Yi Yun has actually seen this city, he understands why it is called the "City of Gods"!
On a vast, gray, desolate plain stretching for millions of miles, the city rose abruptly from the ground, built atop a massive, solitary stone pillar!
The city is a black fortress.
The foundation pillar below is a flattened, isolated peak that spans tens of miles in circumference and is tens of thousands of meters high!
A city built atop a stone pillar ten thousand meters high. From afar, it looks like a giant black dragon soaring through the sky!
It's hard to imagine that the Tai'a Divine Kingdom actually built such a city in the Divine Wilderness. Even powerful human beings would be amazed if they came here!
As the flying boat drew closer, Yi Yun gradually caught a glimpse of the city's outline. Yi Yun felt a magnificent and awe-inspiring aura, like that of Emperor, impacting his mind and body.
Yi Yun's chest was filled with an inexplicable surge of blood, and his whole body was boiling with excitement.
To describe this city as magnificent would be utterly inadequate.
The city's foundation alone is 10,000 meters high, and the city contains towering buildings, so much so that many of them have disappeared into the clouds.
The city walls surrounding the city seemed to connect with the sky, stretching endlessly.
In front of the city, a huge training ground was left empty, the dark brown bloodstains seemingly staining the ground, exuding boundless solemnity and bloodlust.
Beside the drill ground are some Gu Mu, thick and tall, like green giants.
The entire city is surrounded by solitary, sharply defined peaks with smooth, mirror-like cliffs, offering no roads whatsoever. Only thick, dark iron chains, as thick as buckets, hang down, one end embedded in the rugged rock face, the other connecting to the plains thousands of meters below.
Looking down from above, the iron chain is thick and rugged at one end, tapering to a point at the other before disappearing into the vast sea of clouds, a sight that sends shivers down one's spine.
These iron chains are bridges spanning the void, and also the passageways from the Divine Wilderness Plains into the city.
This method of city construction makes entering and leaving the city inconvenient, but it has one major advantage: it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The Divine Wilderness is frequently engulfed by Beast Tide, many of which are King-level Savage Beast. If it were an ordinary city, it would have been submerged by the Beast Tide long ago!
However, the city built on a ten-thousand-meter-high stone platform is an isolated and desolate place. As long as the iron chain bridge is removed, ordinary wild beasts will not be able to attack it.
The Floating Sky Ship landed on the training ground in front of the city.
Dozens of these enormous Floating Sky Ship were moored on the training ground.
On the vast training ground, rows of spirited soldiers stood guard.
Yi Yun, Song Zijun, and more than a hundred people in the airship followed the thin, bald leader as they disembarked from the Floating Sky Ship.
As soon as he stepped off the flying boat, Yi Yun immediately sensed an incredibly dense and violent surge of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi).
The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here is dozens of times more concentrated than that of Yunhuang. The concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is very important for martial artists' cultivation, and this alone makes Shenhuang a sacred place for martial artists' cultivation.
Standing on this training ground, Yi Yun truly felt the immense and vast aura of the city before him.
The first city of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom — Tai'a Divine City!
Although the capital of Zhongzhou is the central city of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, a magnificent and grand place, in the hearts of all the warriors of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, this majestic city standing in the distant Divine Wilderness is the number one city of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom!
For millions of years, Tai'a Divine City has nurtured countless iron-blooded warriors for the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, where they cultivate, fight, and grow!
"How do you feel?" the bald leader said with some pride. Tai'a Divine City was indeed the pride of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.
Every Divine Kingdom Warrior, standing atop the ten-thousand-meter-high city wall, overlooking the endless plains of the Divine Wilderness, inevitably feels a surge of pride!
"Let's go into town!"
The bald leader waved his hand and led the group of young talents into the city.
By this time, it was slowly getting dark.
Faintly glowing runes flickered on the city wall, and halos of light shone, allowing Yi Yun to clearly feel a vast power fluctuation.
For millions of years, the array masters of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom have repeatedly inscribed arrays on the city walls, infusing them with the primordial Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, until the array patterns were imprinted on every foot and every inch of the city walls, making them indestructible.
On the crenellations of the city wall, rows of crossbows, engraved with intricate runes, silently protruded their menacing muzzles, facing all around. The cold arrows of those crossbows continuously emitted purple energy light, merging with the grand array of the entire city wall and emitting a faint tremor.
Those crossbows were like ferocious beasts lurking in the night. Although they weren't aimed at Yi Yun, they still gave him goosebumps all over his body.
During Beast Tide, the greatest threat to Tai'a Divine City comes from the attacks of the Flying Wild Beasts. These crossbows are the nemesis of the Flying Wild Beasts!
It can be said that this is a colossal city of iron and blood, built with the wisdom of countless powerful figures from the Tai'a Divine Kingdom and the blood and flesh of its warriors.
At this moment, the city gates opened wide, and Yi Yun followed the bald man into the Tai'a Divine City. There weren't many pedestrians on the streets, making it seem somewhat deserted.
Upon entering the city, the most striking building is the giant tower located in the very center of the city. This giant tower is shaped like a square pyramid, and from the middle up, it has already pierced into the clouds, with its tip already blurred in the mist.
It looks like a giant pyramid.
Yi Yun gazed into the distance, comparing the size of the surrounding buildings and houses to the giant pyramid, and realized that the pyramid was ridiculously large; it was practically a gigantic mountain.
The pyramids are layered upon layer, filled with many honeycomb-like entrances. One can vaguely see flying Giant Beast and airships shuttling through these entrances. In the face of the massive pyramids, these originally large Giant Beast and airships appear as tiny as mosquitoes.
"That's the Central Divine Tower. The top floor is the residence of the Divine Desolation City and three elders. The lower floors are inhabited by the elites of Tai'a Divine City."
The bald man gave a brief introduction and then led the group deeper into the city.
The deeper Yi Yun went into the city, the more shocked he became.
The buildings within this city are not particularly exquisite, but they are rugged and majestic, exuding a fierce and indomitable aura, as if they possess unyielding spirit, which is truly admirable.
Some of the building materials contained numerous Ancient Remnant Species bones, Yi Yun could feel waves of vast beast souls surging within them.
Such buildings are sturdy and magnificent; even if wild beasts were to enter the city and attack, they would find it extremely difficult to destroy them.
Even the ordinary houses on the street are mostly protected by array formations, and they look ancient and simple. Some of the beams of the houses are made of the shinbones of unknown Giant Beast.
Using animal bones for beams is truly astonishing.
"Huh? What's that?"
A young talent noticed rows of black metal pedestals on both sides of the road. These pedestals were arranged neatly, and on them were stone sculptures, all of them human busts.
Beneath the stone carving are lines of text.
Find any round truncated cone; the text on it is --
"In the 2164th year of the Wande era, the Gao Zhi on the Heaven and Earth Platform, sustaining itself for three quarters of an hour and twenty-four breaths, breaking the record set by our ancestors. This is hereby commemorated to inspire future generations!"
The Heaven and Earth Platform? What's that?
Yi Yun was taken aback. "Gao Zhi" was naturally a person's name. If he was not mistaken, the half-human statue on the stone platform was called Gao Zhi.
This half-human statue depicts a young boy, exuding a spirited and ambitious air.
As for the year 2164 of Wande, that was the reign title of the emperor of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom. The Wande Divine Emperor was a divine emperor from over 50,000 years ago.
In other words, this metal platform, and the half-human sculpture on it, have stood for 50,000 years. This person named Gao Zhi may have already passed away!
"Are these records left behind by martial artists who Divine Desolation Training?"
Yi Yun understood. The neatly arranged metal stone platforms and sculptures on them along this street recorded the brilliant achievements of the geniuses who had once appeared in the Divine City, their glorious accomplishments during their trials there, and their names etched in history.
