"Indeed, this young man is unfathomable and terrifying. Fortunately, we have become friends with him. Once we get out, we must establish good relations with Chambord City. I have a feeling that this King of Chambord will one day shock the entire continent!" Another person nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you're right... Now that we've collected enough herbs, why don't we follow King of Chambord's advice and find a quiet, safe place together to support each other and break through this bottleneck? Relying on external things like herbs all the time isn't the right way," another person suggested.
"Okay." The group exchanged smiles.
They were originally strangers, but by chance, they came together because Sun Fei remembered that they had all been brought into the [ Elemental Gate ]. They were all elderly martial artists whose lifespans were coming to an end. Their fates were similar, and they cherished each other, which led to a friendship. The four of them found a natural stone cave on a solitary mountain cliff and began to cultivate in it, making the most of every minute.
Sun Fei flapped his silver sword wings, his body like a shooting star, flying rapidly at a height of a thousand meters above the ground. The [ God and Demon Altar ] he was looking for was a building a thousand meters high, grand in scale, and extremely conspicuous, making it quite easy to find. Sun Fei didn't need to search step by step on the ground.
This space is vast and boundless; its extent is unknown.
Sun Fei flew for at least a hundred miles, seeing towering peaks, flowing waterfalls, and rolling green waves of forest below. The scenery was magnificent and beautiful, captivating the heart and soul. In some areas, there were even some extremely powerful magical beasts, which made Sun Fei feel a little apprehensive.
Within a hundred miles, the [ God and Demon Altar ] was still nowhere to be found.
Sun Fei patiently flapped his wings, counting the speed in an instant, and continued his search.
Nearly half a day later, Sun Fei had searched an area of several thousand miles around and had left the forest area. He had arrived above a vast grassland, where unidentified wild grasses over a meter tall were growing vigorously. A wide river meandered across the grassland, and herds of deer, sheep, and bison, among other herds of wild beasts, roamed back and forth in a dark mass. Of course, there were also some ferocious monster-eating beasts lurking among them.
Sun Fei had a strange feeling that time and space were reversed, and he seemed to have come to the vast Africa savanna in his previous life. This was a real world, not a small world created by some powerful beings in ancient times.
Another half day passed, and he searched the entire grassland before arriving at the rolling hills.
Unfortunately, Sun Fei still didn't succeed here.
The only good news was that Sun Fei discovered the ruins of a dilapidated ancient castle on the hills. Although only some blurry foundations and broken walls remained, it had long since decayed and was covered by weeds and yellow earth, devoid of any life. However, this castle was the first man-made structure Sun Fei had seen in this space. Moreover, he could vaguely see that the architectural style of this dilapidated castle was very similar to the style of the [God and Demon God and Demon Altar ] shown on [The Demon King's Wisdom ]. This gave Sun Fei, who was gradually losing patience, a glimmer of hope again.
After searching for a while longer, they emerged from this hilly Hell and came upon a fertile plain, teeming with life and thriving with all things. Apart from traces of humans, or rather, intelligent races, they saw almost all other plants and animals.
Sun Fei surveyed the sky and gradually saw some dilapidated buildings: houses, castles, towers, fields, ponds, city walls, rotten wooden houses, and tombs with tombstones... These buildings had endured countless years and were all decayed and dilapidated, completely deformed.
"Could there be indigenous inhabitants in this space? Otherwise, why are there so many buildings? But there's no sign of any intelligent life below. There isn't even a single human corpse. It's as if everyone who lived here vanished in an instant. This is truly strange."
The more Sun Fei observed, the more astonished he became.
Continuing forward, more and more human-built structures appeared, but without exception, they had all been abandoned for countless years, utterly dilapidated, and showed no trace of human habitation. After traveling another few hundred miles, a strange change occurred.
Suddenly, Sun Fei's swift movements froze, as if he had fallen into some kind of viscous swamp. The whole process lasted less than a second, and then he instantly broke free and emerged from it, and everything returned to normal.
"This... seems to be a very concealed energy shield..." Sun Fei stopped and looked back. Everything was normal; the void was empty. But his previous feeling was definitely correct. He shook his head, turned around, and was about to continue advancing when, in that instant, he suddenly shuddered and almost fell headfirst from the void a thousand meters high. "Holy crap, holy crap, this is... a city floating in the air? A... Holy crap, this is too exaggerated, it's actually a Sky City?"
Sun Fei felt so shocked that he almost lost the ability to speak.
Before me stood a colossal city suspended in mid-air, about five or six hundred meters above the ground. Judging from the shadow it cast on the mountains below, this Sky City was at least six or seven kilometers in circumference. Its base resembled an inverted mountain range, seemingly propelled by some unknown force, as no energy fluctuations could be sensed. The city, along with the mountains below, shimmered with a soft, silvery-white light all day long, as if it were cast entirely from silver, sacred and magnificent, making one feel as if they had arrived before the palace of the gods in a celestial realm.
Faced with such a miraculous city, even a powerful figure like Sun Fei couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority, as insignificant as an ant, and instinctively wanted to prostrate himself in worship.
In fact, judging from the size comparison between the two, Sun Fei really does look like an ant that suddenly appeared in front of a dragon.
"Why didn't I see this sacred Sky City from afar before? It's as if it appeared out of thin air? Could it be..." Slowly recovering from the shock, Sun Fei suddenly realized that he seemed to have passed through a mysterious, invisible shield. "Could it be that the shield actually has an invisibility effect, hiding this Sky City? Even my Spiritual Power search couldn't detect anything unusual?"
After thinking it over, Sun Fei realized that this was the only possibility.
He flapped his Silver Sword Wings and slowly flew upwards, inch by inch crossing the inverted mountain peaks at the bottom of the city, finally arriving at the foot of the Sky City's walls.
The city wall, cast from an unknown silver metal, is not very high, only about 100 meters high. Outside the wall is an open space of about 1,000 meters. A crystal-clear river flows slowly around the wall, and the open space is covered with lush green grass, like a carpet. Birds sing and flowers bloom, making it as beautiful as a fairyland, where people can wander and forget all their worries and troubles.
Sun Fei slowly stepped onto the open lawn.
Reaching out to touch it, everything felt so real; it wasn't an illusion.
Gazing up at the distant city walls, Sun Fei didn't know what kind of feeling he was experiencing. Was it shock? Disbelief? Doubt that he was dreaming? It seemed to be all of those, and yet none of them. He came to the river that flowed around the city, stepped into the water, and the icy touch startled a few red fish that were leisurely foraging for food in the distance.
After crossing the river, Sun Fei finally arrived at the foot of the silver-white city wall.
Looking up at the towering fortresses, layer upon layer like the abode of gods in myths and legends of his past life, Sun Fei was once again awestruck by their grandeur. Subconsciously, he stretched out his five fingers and gently stroked the city wall. A warm, jade-like sensation came over him. Before Sun Fei could react, he felt as if his soul was being drawn by some kind of magical energy. The scene before him instantly changed, and he heard a deafening roar of battle cries.
In that instant, space and time shifted.
Sun Fei felt as if he were on an ancient Bloody battlefield, surrounded by deafening shouts of battle. The thick, pungent stench was overwhelming, and plumes of blood mist fell from the sky. Looking up, he saw flashing lights and figures of powerful figures everywhere in the sky. The scene was incredibly tragic, and an unbelievable killing intent filled the air. Sun Fei had no doubt that even a powerful Necromancer at the Moon Class Great Perfection would be killed instantly by the sheer killing intent here, let alone fight.
The battle was terrifying.
The scene before him kept changing, and people from both sides of the battle kept falling. Sun Fei finally saw clearly that the battle was taking place in this Sky City. The two sides involved were humans, orcs, magical beasts, and all sorts of strange creatures. All of these people were powerful beings, and even a casual wave of their hands could unleash earth-shattering powers, shattering the endless void and causing dark cracks to appear in the sky from time to time...
If these powerful individuals were in the outside world, they would undoubtedly be overlords, Extreme Dao masters on the path of martial arts. Even legendary Great Sun Class experts would be less than ants before them. Yet, despite their formidable strength, in this war, they were merely top-tier soldiers, their numbers as numerous as ants, and their lives seemed even less precious than ants', falling one after another from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot...
The brutality of this war is beyond description.
