Titan Sky City (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)

Chapter 049

The Steam Locomotive roared within the Wasteland Mist, but the sound of the Steam Engine was confined to a small area.

Beyond a foot, not a single sound could be heard.

Moreover, the Steam Locomotive was completely invisible. If not for the path cleared in the mist along the way, which closed up in an instant, the Steam Locomotive would have truly been like a ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Even so, a few Mist Beasts encountered along the way were startled.

From afar, Li Mu could already see the colossal structure faintly appearing ahead.

He didn't go straight there, as he suspected something was unusual about the city ahead?

Every Spark City had a virtual replica on the Spark Network.

The City Lord of a Spark City did not have the authority to hide their city on the Spark Network, but they did have the authority to set who was qualified to log into the city's local area network. Of course, if a HuoZhong Professional had a very high permission level, they could ignore such restrictions.

Normally, no Spark City would restrict outsiders from logging into its local area network.

Unless there was something to hide, and they didn't want any information about their Spark City to be leaked.

Therefore, it was highly likely that he had encountered an Ember City.

The power of a Spark City originated from its City Spark. The City Spark could give life to a city, and the City Spark itself could be extinguished by external forces. A Spark City whose City Spark had been extinguished was an Ember City.

Because the City Spark had been extinguished, Ember Cities could not obtain a stable source of Spark Energy.

What to do in such a situation? They could only plunder from others to barely survive.

They would try every means, by any means necessary, to reignite the extinguished City Spark. Most Ember Cities eventually perished in the mists of the Spark World. Less than one in a thousand Ember Cities managed to reignite their City Spark.

So, those Ember Cities with a way out would sometimes choose to abandon their city and flee.

Those without a way out would struggle to survive by any means necessary.

Polymorph Spell!

Li Mu pointed his Elder Wand at two stones. The stones transformed into Wasteland Moles, the most common creatures in the Misty World, and crawled towards the city ahead. Soon, using the Wasteland Moles' vision, he saw a destroyed Spark City ahead.

This was not an Ember City, but a Spark City that had been destroyed!

Judging by its form, it was a Titan Sky City.

The entire Titan Sky City was embedded in the ground at an angle, with a hole blasted through its center, as if a beam of light had descended from the sky and pierced through the Titan Sky City.

Li Mu transmitted everything the Wasteland Moles saw to the Shipborne Optical Computer.

After calculations by the Shipborne Optical Computer, this Spark City had fallen from an altitude of about 100,000 meters. Apart from the fatal wound in the center, the rest of the Spark City was largely intact after falling from such a height. This indicated that the Titan Sky City was of a very high level.

It was far superior to Frostfire City, yet such a city had fallen here without a sound?

There was only one possibility: the City Lord and residents of this Spark City had died in an instant. Otherwise, even if they had lived a tiny bit longer, the ordinary residents might not have had the time, but the City Lord definitely would have had time to log into the Spark Network to call for help.

Because as long as one was willing to expend HuoZhong Source Power, one could truly roam the local area network of all Spark Cities on the Spark Network.

Judging by the situation, this Spark City had already fallen for over two months. If the City Lord had called for help before the crash, it would have been swarming with people by now.

Those Spark Professionals from the surrounding areas would absolutely have taken away everything that could be dismantled from this Titan Sky City.

Thinking of this, Li Mu's heartbeat began to accelerate.

How many ownerless treasures would be inside this Titan Sky City before him?

Li Mu took out a few Alchemy Puppets, cast the Illusionary Body Curse on them, and approached the crashed Titan Sky City in the air. Fortunately, the Spark City's function of repelling mist had not completely failed, so he could see the situation inside the city more clearly from the air.

He couldn't see any corpses, only many human-shaped black shadows on the ground and walls.

It seemed that in an instant, everyone in the city had been burned to just a trace.

Because he didn't know if the automatic defense system of Titan Sky City had failed, Li Mu only controlled one Alchemy Puppet to ride a Flying Broomstick and approach. However, the moment it got close to Titan Sky City, the Alchemy Puppet disappeared without a sound.

"Not even ashes left..."

Li Mu's temples throbbed, startled.

Through the Spark Energy attached to the inside of the Alchemy Puppet, he could feel that the Alchemy Puppet had been burned to death.

Using the remaining Alchemy Puppets to confirm a safe distance, Li Mu slowly approached on his Steam Motorcycle.

Upon reaching a position where he could see with his own eyes, he immediately gathered Spark Energy into his eyes.

Only then did he finally see it. Centered on the wound that pierced through the middle of Titan Sky City, a colorless and transparent flame was gushing out in all directions. This flame could not be sensed for temperature, nor did it affect the environment, but it was burning everything that approached Titan Sky City.

"Another one comes..."

Li Mu heard a joyful laugh in his ears.

Almost instantly, he unfurled the Super Iron Skin Charm of his Elf Wizard Robe and simultaneously cast Apparition, preparing to teleport to high altitude. As long as he could successfully teleport, he could release the Phoenix from the air and then pilot the Phoenix to escape this place.

However, the Super Iron Skin Charm, which could block 85 points of damage, was completely ineffective against the white shadow that flashed before him.

In just an instant, the white shadow penetrated the Super Iron Skin Charm and drilled into Li Mu's body.

In a moment of life and death, Li Mu activated a Magic Ring on his left hand that could release Fierce Fire.

His entire body was immediately enveloped by Fierce Fire. His Elf Wizard Robe and other Acquired HuoZhong also merged into his Origin HuoZhong. His defenseless body instantly turned to ash under the burning of Fierce Fire, but the white shadow that had entered his body was unharmed and entangled with his soul.

Li Mu did not choose to revive on the spot, but chose to revive inside the Phoenix.

So the Phoenix appeared directly, and the white shadow, entangled with Li Mu's soul, appeared together inside the Phoenix's Shipboard Spark.

The flames of Nirvana ignited. The White Shadow Undead Soul, already startled by Li Mu's suicide, trembled violently. In the next moment, it was burned to nothingness by the flames generated during Nirvana from the Shipboard Spark. Li Mu, too, was reborn and his body reshaped within the flames.

His first reaction was relief. His second was to get away from Titan Sky City as quickly as possible.

They say curiosity killed the cat. Without sufficient strength, even looking at some benefits could get you killed.

If he hadn't had Nirvana, he might have been finished today.

However, just then, Li Mu felt some fragmented memories appear in his mind.

These memories seemed to originate from the White Shadow that had been burned to death?

It turned out that the true identity of this White Shadow was the City Lord of Titan Sky City. More than two months ago, Titan Sky City was flying smoothly when it was suddenly destroyed by a Super Main Cannon from an unknown-class Seedship. Even White Shadow's Own Cruiser was instantly sunk.

Finally, with the help of a special Subordinate Module, White Shadow managed to preserve a sliver of its Remnant Soul.

It wasn't that no HuoZhong Professionals had discovered this place these past few days. The commotion of Titan Sky City's crash had indeed attracted many nearby HuoZhong Professionals. However, all the HuoZhong Professionals who approached had their lives stripped away by White Shadow, used to reshape its body and heal its dying Remnant Soul through that special Subordinate Module.

PS: This wasn't luck falling from the sky. The crash of Titan Sky City was related to the Phoenix.
