The four stepped out, their figures transforming into streaks of crimson light that crisscrossed the sky, soaring past countless peaks. Half an hour later, they had left the endless mountain range far behind.
Beyond the mountain range lay a vast plain, dotted with myriad trees reaching a thousand zhang high, piercing the clouds. Beneath the roots of these trees, ancient, long-abandoned pavilions and palaces lay covered in dust.
A seemingly bottomless chasm split the massive ruins of the city in two, the air thick with a turbid, blood-red mist that enveloped the desolation.
Xia Xin Yu and the other three slightly reduced their speed, their divine senses spreading out, scanning the ruins for any signs of life.
Although isolated from the outside world for an era, this place had weathered millennia, forming a small world of its own. The towering trees were irrefutable proof.
"I have been here before. This city is on the outskirts of the battlefield of Chang Sheng City. The beings who fight here are generally between the Sovereign and Heavenly Sovereign realms."
Xia Xin Yu walked to the city gate, which had collapsed to half its original height, and said slowly.
"Let's go inside. There should be a spirit material garden within. Perhaps, if we're lucky, we can find precious spirit materials from the million-year level."
"Someone's coming!"
Xia Xin Yu's expression turned cold. She instantly turned her head, and Dian Wei and the other two hurried to look. They saw that from all directions of the ruined city, rumbling sounds echoed, and spatial rifts appeared, revealing figures that shot forth.
"Boom!"
Some beings hadn't even stabilized themselves before Sovereign beings attacked, commencing a frenzied slaughter.
The Sealed Land!
Although thirty-odd Dao Provinces sounded immense, over tens of millions of years, nearly half of them had been gradually developed. This current opening would be the last.
The Sealed Land was boundless. Tens of thousands of beings below the Sovereign realm had entered this time, each of them an extraordinary prodigy within their own realm.
They couldn't possibly traverse the entire ruin, nor could they venture into the depths to contend with powers like the Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty. As for the core area, that was even more impossible.
By all estimations, ninety-nine percent of the beings entering this ruin would remain on the periphery, engaging in fierce combat to obtain abundant and precious resources.
In the sky, countless blade energies, sword qi, and fist shadows collided, divine power surged, and sections of broken walls crumbled, sending rocks scattering.
"Ah!"
In just a breath, several beings vanished into the void.
"Where do you think you're going!"
A furious roar echoed as a saber cleaved through the sky. A Sovereign being attacked, cleaving open the head of a being.
"Kill!"
The ruins were filled with killing intent. Countless beings had bloodshot eyes. This ruin was vast, but who could say how much precious resource it contained? Only the strong who reached the end would have the ability to control this ruined city.
"How dare you ambush me!"
Long Ju raised his spear, a beam of spear energy sweeping across the sky, directly tearing apart three Quasi-Sovereign beings. Puffs of hot blood rained down, attracting many gazes.
Boom!
Innumerable figures immediately retreated from the area where Long Ju and the other three were located, yet some beings still attacked at the risk of their lives.
A bald Sovereign, raising his Damo Zen staff, cleaved through the void and attacked from behind Long Ju.
"Hmph!"
Dian Wei turned, his right hand throwing a short halberd. With a bang, it shattered the silver Zen staff. The terrifying shockwave caused the bald man's arm to shatter, and waves of blood surged outward.
"Die!"
Dian Wei's eyes shot out two beams of bloody light, directly striking the bald man. He was sent flying hundreds of zhang, his body exploding on the spot.
At this moment, the battlefield of ruins fell silent. In a mere few breaths, no less than thirty beings had perished. But after the death of the first Sovereign being, everyone ceased their attacks.
They looked at Dian Wei and the other three with fear!
"Hahaha!"
"There are actually Human race beings here!!"
"Kill!"
A blood-red light shot from the southern sky and stopped in mid-air, followed closely by six figures, each with a human body and a dragon's head.
The one leading them wore black mystic robes, with a white bone pin in his hair. His eyes held endless greed.
"It's a powerful being from the Hei Shui Immortal Dynasty's Ya Yu tribe!!"
"Quick, flee!!"
Countless beings, upon seeing the man in black mystic robes, fled in terror.
"The Ya Yu tribe?"
Dian Wei glanced at the man, his eyes blazing with fury. "General Long, I have endured this filthy race for over a year. Today, can you cede them to me?"
"General Dian may make his move!"
Long Ju sheathed his spear and stood beside Xia Xin Yu.
"Die for me!!!"
Dian Wei roared. A year ago, at Zhu Lu City, he had taken a disliking to this Ya Yu race. Today was a rare opportunity. He raised his eighty-jin iron halberd and slashed horizontally through the void. With a bang, two chasms of void instantly tore across the man in black robes.
"Ah!!"
Half of the black-robed man's body turned into bloody mist. A dignified Sovereign being, unable to withstand a single blow from a Human!
"Quick!"
"Protect the Lord!"
Countless Ya Yu beings instantly attacked. Terrifying divine power and blood-red light clashed in the air, blocking Dian Wei's path of attack.
"Dan Wan!!!"
The black-robed man, with only half a body remaining, shrieked in terror. Under that blow, he felt how insignificant and powerless he was.
"Insignificant ants!"
"How dare you block this general?"
Dian Wei glared in all directions, his iron halberd tearing apart the sky.
Innumerable sealing divine powers were directly ripped apart by this halberd strike. A divine light, burning with crimson flames, struck the black-robed man who was still repairing his body. In an instant, the Sovereign being of the Ya Yu tribe met a tragic end within a few breaths.
Dian Wei strode forward, his massive hands covering the sky, and with a single palm strike, he pulverized six Quasi-Sovereign beings into bloody mist.
Dian Wei turned, blood constantly dripping from him, resembling a demon god from hell.
"Your Great Han Divine Dynasty is becoming ever more powerful!"
"In this ruin, for a Sovereign realm expert, perhaps only the heavenly prodigies of the eight great families of the Central Province could stand against the three of you!" Su Dan Novel Network
Xia Xin Yu looked at Dian Wei, who emerged from a sea of blood, and sighed.
The sudden出手 of Long Ju and Dian Wei stunned all the beings present. Unhindered, the four of them walked into the ruined city first. After they left, the bloody battle once again erupted.
"Is that Dian Wei from the Great Han Divine Dynasty?"
Half an hour later, in the center of the ruined city, Gu Po Sovereign and Gui Hai Sovereign from the Zhu Lu Immortal Dynasty arrived at a messy, abandoned spirit material garden.
From afar, they saw Xia Xin Yu carefully introducing to Dian Wei, Long Ju, and Yang You Ji the spirit materials that had long since become extinct in the outside world.
However, they were not particularly precious.
