Chapter 683: Advance together
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
A new outer city jutted out from the ground after seven days. This new city wall was more imposing, seeming like a never-ending mountain range. Although it wasn’t even, the lowest point was around one hundred meters high.
This radiant silver city seemed to be made of metal, standing firmly while diffusing a cold aura that never dispersed.
Under the cooperation of the Human Clan, Monster Clan, Dark Devil Clan, and the Winged Clan, the new city wall seemed invincible. Carved formations decorated the wall, bringing out a tremendous energy.
The day the outer city was finished, many humans felt happy, as they believed that this city was their new home. They had to protect it at any cost to preserve the last piece of land of the Human Clan.
As the owner of the city, Shi Yan had joined the construction from the beginning to the end. He had concentrated on carving the formation and refining the liquid steel, that made this city wall more rigid than the hardest metal.
Yan Long, Xue Lie, Glacial Armor Giant Alligator, Nine-headed Bird, and Silver-winged Sky Wolf had used their monster forms to hit the city wall to test its endurance. Although the impact had crashed their armors, it left no cracks in the wall.
The two Head Masters of the Demon Clan had tried the defensive ability of the city wall discreetly. They were astounded to see that if they wanted to smash this city down, they would have to pay a big price.
Everybody had their spirit boosted. They had survived the disaster, and they felt lucky that they made a wise decision to not leave the city.
Alien tribes were still hunting humans in the Perpetual Night Forest. People who didn’t belong in this city had become their targets. After seven days, most of the human warriors had been killed, becoming wandering ghosts under the pagan’s slaughter, or the fertilizer for their sacrificial altar. The number of people who could survive was pathetically little.
In the outer city, all formations and barriers worked well. Qi Tian Oldie Long Zhu had restored half of his power. The city had Yun Hao and Yu Wan Jiang at the Second Sky of True God Realm, and Di Shan, Li Zheng Rong, and Yu Rou at the First Sky of True God Realm.
With this force in the city and the city’s defensive ability, Shi Yan felt more determined.
He believed that even if the four alien tribes returned and attacked his city, it wouldn’t be any easy for them.
Finally, he could exhale in relief. Next, he had to prepare for the big business of his realm advancement.
Shi Yan called Long Zhu and Yun Hao and explained part of the secrets of the Utmost Eight Purgatories City. He arranged everything and then left quietly with Yang Tian Emperor.
When he got out of the city, Bao Ao and Jie Ji recognized immediately. They stepped forward and asked for his opinion.
"Give me half a month. After that, I will go with you guys." Shi Yan told them and then took Yang Tian Emperor to the Creator’s Divine Pond.
Bao Ao and Jie Ji had to wait for so many years, so the period of fifteen more days wasn't too long for them. They gladly agreed.
…
Near the Creator’s Divine Pond…
Shi Yan and Yang Tian Emperor smiled, looking at the platform in the middle of the miraculous pond.
"With this pond, we can have more True God Realm warriors. Not long afterward, our general competence will increase fast. Later on, even if Qin Gu Chuan, Guan Ho, and Lu Miao haven’t died, they would never replace us in the Human Clan." Yang Tian Emperor felt relaxed, as a glorious light sparkled in his eyes.
Currently, the Yang family was prosperous like they had never been before, much more than when they were in the Endless Sea.
Although the Yang family was the overlord of the Endless Sea, its structure was small, which was insignificant in the eyes of the experts in the Divine Great Land.
However, it was different today. They were in most mysterious Perpetual Night Forest of the Divine Great Land, building the main line of the Human Clan. Today, they were the future of the Human Clan!
The Cao family, the Dark Devil Clan, the Winged Clan, the Fighting Union, and the Radiant God Cult, together with the small forces, had gathered in the Yang family, which was a situation he had never dared to imagine. However, everything came true now.
The Yang family had become the owner of the Utmost Eight Purgatories City. All people who stayed here, no matter they belonged to the seven alliances or the small forces, had to follow the Yang family’s arrangement.
The power and the force of the Yang family had leaped to a new peak they had never seen before.
All of this was thanks to Shi Yan, the young man he had picked up from the Quiet Cloud Land.
Looking at Shi Yan in front of him, Yang Tian Emperor was extremely proud, thinking that bringing Shi Yan from the Quiet Cloud Land here was the best decision he had ever made in his whole life.
"Great-grandpa, you should go first," Shi Yan chuckled, taking out the Soul Gathering Pearl. He sent the bead to the platform to release the crystal clear soul energy.
The Soul Gathering Pearl had collected a large amount of soul power from Ling Meng and Nie Ruo. The soul energy it had refined was translucent and condensed. Shi Yan felt pleased on seeing it.
After observing the soul energy a little bit, Shi Yan saw that it was enough for ten warriors to enter the True God Realm easily without any risks.
"No, I’m not hurried." Yang Tian Emperor shook his head and smiled, "The two Demons are still waiting for you. You should break through to the True God Realm first. It’s easy to talk with them then. Moreover, if something unexpected happens, you would already be in the True God Realm, which will be a tranquilizer to the Utmost Eight Purgatories City. You are more important than me. You should go first."
Shi Yan was surprised. He pondered for a while and considered that it was logical.
If he used the cultivation base of True God Realm to control the Utmost Eight Purgatories City, he could advance the power of the formations and barriers in the city by one more level. This city would become tremendously strong and would better protect his people.
From this point, he had a bigger value than Yang Tian Emperor.
He didn’t deny, smiled and said, "Then, I’ll get in there first. Great grandpa, please watch over me. I will reach the True God Realm quickly."
"Little Yan, you want to know how that little girl is, don't you? She has entered the chaotic space basin. I guess she is more likely to die than stay alive. Do you still want to use the Immortal Blood?" Yang Tian Emperor frowned.
The Immortal Blood could see what the user’s close acquaintance had experienced. As long as the other’s realm was lower or equal to his, Shi Yan could use the Immortal Blood to know the location and current situation of that person. He hastened to enter the True God Realm also to check how Xia Xin Yan was.
Shi Yan knew what had happened in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain from Bao Ao and Jie Ji. He totally agreed with Xia Xin Yan when she resolutely decided to enter the chaotic space basin to avoid the alien slaughter.
He believed that if he were in the same situation, he would have made the same decision.
Xia Xin Yan had the understanding of the martial path of a King God Realm expert. Shi Yan thought that she would be alright even if she were in the chaotic space basin. However, he was still worried about her.
That’s why he wanted to use the Immortal Blood to see her whereabouts. However, Xia Xin Yan had reached the True God Realm, and he was just in the Spirit Realm. If he forced himself to process the reading, he would get hurt.
Only if he reached the True God Realm would using the Immortal Blood vaguely show him whether Xia Xin Yan’s soul had vanished or not. To him, it was enough.
"Yes, I always worry about her. Haha... She took me to the Endless Sea. She took care of me well. When we were in the Endless Sea, she had never done anything to be ashamed of. I know what happened with the Xia family and Xia Qing Hou. However, t isn't related to her," Shi Yan smiled.
Yang Tian Emperor frowned, "But her grandpa..."
"We didn’t do anything to him. We don’t know whether he’s alive or not. I think... she would be alright."
Shi Yan smiled begrudgingly. He pulled himself together, then concentrated and washed away the chaotic thoughts like gossamer in his head.
Yang Tian Emperor wanted to say something, but he noticed Shi Yan’s bright eyes and his calmed down aura, and knew that Shi Yan had started the process. Yang Tian Emperor didn’t talk more. He moved away and sat down cross-legged to protect Shi Yan.
Shi Yan floated like a lily water pad, then slowly landed on the spiritual platform in the center of the divine pond. He sat down, then closed his eyes and let his soul sublimate. His Sea of Consciousness settled like the mirror of his consciousness.
Light rippled from the top-grade Essence Crystals scattered around the place, pouring into the spiritual platform from the special ditches to supply energy for the magical formation.
Yang Tian Emperor observed to see the changes of the divine pond.
…
Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, Vault of Heaven Sea, Endless Sea...
This place had the endless mountain range where many demon beasts gathered in the Endless Sea. It was also the forbidden area of the Human Clan. Strong beasts wandered here and there year around. Even when the Martial Spirit Palace was at their peak time, they had never dared to trespass this area.
The sun, moon, and stars shone over a ten-thousand-meters-high mountain, jutting to the sky, as if it wanted to connect the sun, moon, and stars.
Boom Boom Boom!
All of a sudden, many head-splitting explosions reverberated from this grand mountain. An energy wave flooded the area, expanding everywhere from the mountain.
Crack Crack Crack!
Wherever the energy wave washed over, mountains collapsed one by one. This endless mountain range seemed to cave in terrifyingly.
Under the shining light of sun, moon, and stars, the energy wave had peeled off the surface layer of rock, revealing the true shape of this mountain.
Dazzling massive pillars with many colors shot up to the sky!
Each pillar was at least several thousand meters tall, with many patterns and drawings in the old style of the Monster Clan. Under the bright sky, it radiated shiningly.
It turned out there were so many giant pillars hiding in this endless mountain range. These pillars were scattered thickly in every corner of the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, creating a massive ancient formation of the Monster Clan.
After the rock layer was slid away, an inexplicably massive ancient formation was exposed at the ten-thousand-meter-high mountain in the center of the place. This formation was supported by seven ferocious monster hands.
Each monster hand was around ten mu. A fierce, cold aura diffused from them, while the monster scriptures drawn on the palms sparkled. Seven monster hands supported a Star of David Formation, where some tiny figures of the beast were sitting.
From a close look, those were the Ghost Hunter, the Devouring Gold Silkworm, and the King of Demonic Insects. At this moment, they seemed to receive some ancient inheritance of the Monster Clan, taking in the energy and powers from the giant pillars of the demonic formation around them.
