Echidna's breakthrough can be considered a minor episode in this journey.
About two days after her breakthrough, on this morning, almost everyone in the rear cabin of the Metal Lifeform became excited. Through the transparent metal, they could see the enormous city outside, built of blue ore.
The city is a shade of blue, exuding an air of grandeur and antiquity.
Tagan City! One of the ten largest cities within a radius of two billion li of Redbud Prefecture!
"This is Tagan City?" Suosuomiluo's eyes lit up instantly; this was the place he had been looking for.
Luo Ao and Echidna also looked at this large city with some novelty. A city spanning thousands of miles was something that could not be seen anywhere else on the Boya Continent. Moreover, this Infernal Realm city had withstood countless years of wind and rain, and its ancient aura was truly captivating.
"We've finally arrived!" Everyone was filled with excitement.
Immediately, a large number of people from the Metal Lifeform flew down one after another.
"Mr. Luo Ao, then we'll take our leave now." Kele already knew that Luo Ao and his companions would part ways with them after arriving in the city, and he made a point of saying goodbye before leaving.
Luo Ao and his two companions nodded and headed ahead to Tagan City, while the group from the Sinking Fire Tribe gathered in mid-air before entering the city in turn, arranged by Steward Kele.
Luo Ao, Echidna, Suosuomiluo were seeing a large city in the Infernal Realm for the first time, and they all found it very novel. As they walked, they also looked at the magnificent and ancient blue city.
"Those who went in without paying must be Fiend, right?" At this moment, the three of them also noticed that three people in purple robes walked directly into Tagan City, and the guards at the Tagan City gate did not stop them.
" Fiend have a special status, so it's normal for them to have some privileges." Luo Ao nodded with a smile.
Muja Army, Fubing (a type of soldier), and Fiend are not required to pay an entrance fee to enter the city.
However, whether it's Muja Army, Fubing, or the Fiend, the assessment and selection system is very strict.
Luo Ao, Ao, and the other two were not Fiend yet, so they had no choice but to obediently queue up and wait for a while before paying the fee and successfully entering the city.

Inside the Tagan City.
As they entered Tagan City, Luo Ao, Echidna, and their companion walked together. Strolling along the wide streets, they looked around at the grand buildings. An ancient and magnificent atmosphere enveloped them; each building was a masterpiece of sculpture.
"These buildings and sculptures are probably the work of masters; they are indeed very pleasing to the eye." Although Luo Ao wasn't an expert in this field, he could still appreciate some of their unique charm.
As they continued their journey, Luo Ao and his two companions truly witnessed the magnificent sights of a bustling city in this Infernal Realm.
Soon, they followed the crowd to the most bustling and lively part of Tagan City.
" Fiend Castle!" Suosuomiluo pointed directly at the castle in front of him.
Luo Ao and Ao also turned their gaze to the rather eerie castle building.
This is an ancient purple castle, a hundred meters high, but the purple has turned almost black! There is a giant sculpture on this castle, which is a face! The face shape is very blurry, but the single, bewitching red eye on the face is very striking.
For some reason, the eerie red single eye on the blurred face of that giant sculpture, though merely a sculpture, still sent chills down one's spine.
"Is this the Fiend Castle? Luo Ao, I'll go in and take a look." Suosuomiluo greeted them and headed straight for the eerie castle, while Luo Ao and his companion were in no hurry to go in. Instead, they headed towards a blue castle in the distance to the right.
This ancient castle, entirely constructed of blue ore, has a crescent moon of blue hue atop it. The two recognized this crescent moon as Muja Army's emblem.
"I heard that Muya Castle sells everything, let's go in and take a look." Luo Ao Echidna towards Muya Castle.
He had previously killed more than a dozen bandit leaders of the Azure Snake Organization, and the wealth these people had accumulated over the years was now all in his hands, so he naturally had the confidence to come in and buy goods.
Muya Castle was packed with people.
The main gate of Muya Castle is a hundred meters wide, and a bustling crowd poured in. It's easy to imagine how good the business at Muya Castle is.
"The items on the first two floors seem to be of average quality, let's go straight to the third floor." The items sold on the third floor are generally more valuable, so although many people come in to look at the goods, not many actually spend money to buy anything.
"Weapons, materials, clothing..." The items on this third floor were indeed dazzling and overwhelming, and many of them looked extremely extraordinary.
"Hmm? This thing is actually somewhat useful?" Luo Ao walked to a counter that specialized in selling medicines and discovered that there was a pill specifically for healing the soul.
"Guests, this is a pill meticulously crafted by Highgod who cultivates the Life Law. Each pill is priced at one million Inkstone." The person in charge of the counter was a beautiful Highgod with purple hair. When she saw the two of them come here to inspect the Life Spirit Pill, she immediately began to introduce it mechanically.
Although her words sounded perfectly normal, there was no warmth in her tone, clearly indicating that she didn't believe the young couple in front of her had the financial means to buy this item.
"This stuff is actually quite useful, have a bottle." Unexpectedly, Luo Ao suddenly spoke up and took out eight azure stone tablets, which were exactly eight million Inkstone!
"Yes, sir, your choice is absolutely right. There isn't much of this in stock right now..." The purple-haired beauty suddenly realized what was going on after seeing the Inkstone, and immediately enthusiastically facilitated the transaction. At the same time, she was secretly surprised. Who was this young master who had gone out and was so generous?
After buying some interesting trinkets, Luo Ao and Ao first found a hotel to dine at, enjoying some delicious Infernal Realm food, and then booked a quiet little house to stay in.
"Is the timeline already this far back? Sure enough, the Sovereign Spark I obtained was one of the unlucky Sovereign who were caught in the crossfire after that earth-shattering battle." Luo Ao flipped through the historical data book in his hand.
Although the text does not record in detail the events that occurred among the Sovereign countless years ago, Luo Ao can easily deduce through indirect inference that we are now in the ' Linley ' era.
After all, not just one or two Sovereign perished in that upheaval, but at least a dozen, including at least two Sovereign- level Sovereign. Such a huge change could not have gone unnoticed, even if the Sovereign deliberately concealed the details.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that after the death of the Light Sovereign, Augusta, the vast Angel Legion that was originally under his control has now become free individuals makes it easy to guess that one of the Sovereign Light may have perished during that period.
While the fall of other Sovereign wasn't as dramatic as that of Augusta, it's impossible for it to have been completely without any change.
