The sky was filled with countless powerful warriors engaged in battle, and streaks of light flashed in the void. Legendary God Dou Weapon and Demigod Dou Weapon were everywhere, breaking apart like clay sculptures in the fierce fighting. The blood of the powerful warriors floated in the sky, turning the world crimson, and blood rained down, as if it were the end of the world.

Sun Fei did not know why this war had broken out.

He was like a transparent person, witnessing a fragment of the battlefield as an observer. The powerful figures in the battle did not even notice him. The shock in their hearts was indescribable. This was definitely a battle between gods, capable of breaking continents, shattering the sky, and destroying everything. This was a contest between gods and demons!

As the battle drew to a close, everything between heaven and earth blurred. Sun Fei vaguely heard a deafening roar echoing from the Sky City, and countless powerful figures rained down, their bodies shattering and falling to the ground...

Then, everything returned to reality.

Sun Fei opened his eyes, panting heavily. He felt a warm touch on his palm. Looking closer, he realized he was still standing beneath the walls of this magnificent Sky City. The terrifying battlefield from before was just an illusion that had completely vanished. Nothing had happened. The surroundings were quiet, with blue skies, white clouds, green trees, and fragrant flowers—a scene of unparalleled beauty.

"It turns out that this colossal city witnessed a brutal battle from countless years ago. Perhaps the battle was so tragic that it left its mark on the world. This city wall, made of some unknown material, has fragmentedly 'remembered' certain moments from that battle. The scenes I just 'saw' weren't fictional; they were real events..."

Sun Fei gradually understood.

But the shock I felt did not diminish in the slightest.

It's unbelievable that such a brutal battle once took place in this world, that so many powerful figures perished, and that the location was right here in this Sky City. What forces were those involved in the battle? Were they truly gods and demons? If so, the origins of this Sky City, this small world, and even the God and Demon Palace outside are truly terrifying.

I wonder if there are any living beings left in the city?

Perhaps endless dangers lurk within the city?

Regardless, in order to find the [ God and Demon Altar ], Sun Fei had to enter the city and investigate. After pausing outside the city for a while, Sun Fei walked around the city wall for a while, but strangely, he did not find the city gate. He had no choice but to flap his Silver Sword Wings and fly up to the city wall.

Standing on the city wall and looking into the city, Sun Fei saw a perfect, colossal city.

The city was constructed entirely of the same silvery-white material, with its well-planned war fortresses and towering magic towers transforming Sky City into a terrifying battle-ready monster.

Even though Sun Fei had seen countless magnificent medieval castles on computers and televisions in his previous life, none of them could compare to this giant city.

Wide streets and towering spires, carved railings and jade steps, magnificent temples and squares, and some places resembling Barracks and training grounds. The entire fortress seems to be built along the mountainside. Below the city walls, a wide silver avenue slopes down to the mountain peak in the city. On the slope of this enormous mountain, various buildings and stone palaces are built, and tall humanoid warrior statues stand in a staggered arrangement. In the distance, the central mountain peak of the city rises into the clouds, and its top is not visible.

"If the [ God and Demon Altar ] truly exists, then it should be located within this giant city." Sun Fei carefully observed the style of the buildings in the city, which was absolutely identical to the appearance of the [ God and Demon Altar ]. This further solidified his belief and greatly increased his hope.

Strangely, however, there seemed to be no life in this city.

From the moment he first stepped onto the city wall, Sun Fei's Spiritual Power spread out silently like a tide, but he didn't detect the aura of any powerful being. It was like a dead city. If it weren't for the sacred and vast aura contained in the air, Sun Fei would have thought he had encountered a ghost city.

Vibrating his Silver Sword Wings, Sun Fei, like a birdman, skimmed the ground for three or four hundred meters, traversing between the city's major buildings, searching carefully. This time, his speed was much slower, and his search was even more meticulous, unwilling to miss any clues.

About three hours later, Sun Fei searched all the buildings surrounding the giant city but found no trace of the [ God and Demon Altar ].

He followed the central thoroughfare, climbing towards the massive mountain in the city center.

At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and another night was about to fall. There was no Sun in this small world, but there was light, and there was the alternation of day and night. When night fell, the light in the sky would dim. The methods of the powerful beings who created this small world were simply beyond human imagination.

Under the cover of night, Sun Fei reached the summit of the mountain half an hour later.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find any trace of the [ God and Demon Altar ] along the way.

The mountain peak was about 300 meters high, composed entirely of white Rock. Its slope was more than 60 degrees from the ground, and various buildings were built on the slope, including battle fortresses, magic towers, training grounds, and even what looked like Barracks camps. Although there was no sign of human activity, these buildings were remarkably well-preserved, spotless and pristine, showing none of the dilapidated signs that Sun Fei had seen on the plains and hills before. Perhaps due to the wind, there was not a speck of dust on the buildings; everything was perfectly preserved.

At the top of the mountain stands a magnificent palace, not large in scale or particularly ornate, but extremely sturdy. Its ancient simplicity exudes an indescribable nobility. It consists of three side halls and a main hall, with a thick and tall foundation that is incredibly solid, supporting the palace. There are ninety-nine steps on all four sides. Climbing the steps, you can reach the entrance of the main hall of the palace.

The two colossal warrior statues, each a hundred meters tall, are placed here like two living God of War, creating immense pressure and making it impossible to muster even the slightest thought of Resist.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, one can look down upon the entire giant city below, like a deity sitting high in the clouds, looking down upon all living beings, inevitably giving rise to a sense of loneliness and isolation at the top.

Unfortunately, the [ God and Demon Altar ] could not be found.

Sun Fei was extremely disappointed.

Just as it was about to spread its wings and leave this magnificent Sky City, for some reason, a thought suddenly arose, and it turned around and walked towards the main hall behind it, as if something in the dark was calling to it.

Night had completely enveloped the world, and the hall was very dark. Fortunately, seeing in the dark was not a problem for Sun Fei. The hall was very spacious. Twenty Dashi, which would take four people to encircle, supported the dome of the hall, which was a hundred meters high. The floor was also paved with white material, which looked very smooth. You could see the reflection of the paintings on the dome, but walking on it was exceptionally stable, without the slightest feeling of slipping.

As Sun Fei walked deeper into the main hall, he saw a huge stone seat standing in the center of the back of the hall. The stone seat was incredibly ancient, as if it had been carved out of a huge Rock. It was clear that two people could sit side by side on it, but for some reason, Sun Fei had a feeling that it was most suitable for one person to sit on this stone seat.

In front of the stone seat was a small, clear pool, in which several plants resembling water lilies grew gracefully. They had not yet bloomed, but their golden hues were faintly visible. Clusters of golden mist bloomed out, appearing exceptionally beautiful in the darkness, filled with a sacred and ethereal aura.

Sun Fei was suddenly overcome with an impulse. He moved and came to the stone seat. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and sat down lightly on the Dashi seat behind the pool.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but the moment Sun Fei gently sat down, he felt as if the entire world seemed to tremble slightly.

On the armrests on both sides of the stone seat, Sun Fei discovered two magical engravings cleverly hidden in the stone's texture. The lines were smooth, almost inlaid in the natural grain of the stone. It was really hard to notice them without careful observation. The patterns were not extremely mysterious, but they were so dense that they would make one feel dizzy at first glance.

The engraving techniques used for these two magic circles are extremely rare, completely unlike the magic principles of Meteor in the Azeroth Continent. After careful study, Sun Fei was astonished, for this was actually a magic system from the Diablo World.

The magic systems of the Diablo World and the Azeroth Continent are different, even completely contradictory, and full of surprises. However, after the magic madman, Grandpa Cain, translated and deciphered them, some patterns were found. Sun Fei had also studied this kind of knowledge with Grandpa Cain. Although he was not an expert, he had a deep understanding. After observing for a while, he finally deciphered the magic circle diagram, which was not very complicated.

"I wonder what the purpose of these two small magic circles is?" Now that he had deciphered the two small magic circles, Sun Fei sat on the stone seat and subconsciously placed his hands on the armrests, injecting a wisp of Magic Power into the magic god's guiding array.

A faint, almost invisible, deep blue fluorescence spread along the magic array patterns, gently covering the entire armrest of the stone seat, like protruding capillaries. Sun Fei tried to withdraw his hands, but suddenly found that his hands were as if they had merged with the entire stone seat, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not move them even a fraction of an inch.

This sudden turn of events was no small matter; Sun Fei was utterly terrified.
