Chapter 1633 - The Legendary City

The crude lines, simple strikings, these marks left in the dried earth formed a transport formation!

If news of this went out, it would definitely make one feel that this was absurd. It was just a few simple lines, not an altar made of divine stone, nor was it a magical formation made of precious materials, yet it had transport power?

Anyone who saw it would feel that this was something randomly drawn by a child!

However, it was now discovered. It was extremely resplendent, and also extremely divine. As the three of them infused magical force, the dried earth surged with power, moreover opening a set of gates!

At the same time, they saw an irregular scene in the desert. Like steamer baskets, bloody mists rose strand after strand, large amounts of dark light also interweaving.

Kacha!

In the distance, the Lightning Abyss erupted with noise. It was also unknown just how many streaks of lightning flew over, blasting this region.

“This place…” Shenming felt more and more uneasy. She finally found the source of this type of danger.

A wave of terrifying aura pervaded the air, carrying inauspiciousness. It covered heaven and earth, starting to ripple about powerfully.

The Lightning Abyss thus began to surge, lightning forming ocean waves, surging outwards, drowning the desert and this region.

“The Lightning Abyss’ existence, is it for the sake of suppressing this region?” Sanzang asked with a heavy voice.

They suddenly realized something. The Lightning Abyss, desert, earth, dam, all of these existences existed for a reason, not independent from each other.

At this moment, their scalps went numb, feeling as if something bad was going to happen to them, as if a calamity was about to descend. The desert became more and more inauspicious.

“Go!”

The gate was already opened. They didn’t dare stay for another moment, turning around and quickly rushing in, disappearing from this place.

Peng!

That light gate closed. At the same time, they heard a giant smashing noise. That gate was destroyed!

However, they already left, entering an unknown place!

If they were a step late, they might have been caught in a great disaster.

“What exactly was that?” Shenming was confused.

Was it some type of creature that awakened, some type of formation activating, or some type of strange power reviving?

“Don’t tell me it’s a creature that crawled over from the dam?”

“Perhaps there are true immortals or undying existences who were lying dormant in that region?”

They left that place while full of questions.

The path ahead was unknown. They didn’t dare act carelessly, all of them a bit apprehensive. It was because they continuously activated transport formations, yet each time, they didn’t find a way back.

“We can go back.” Shi Hao said. He believed in the road Willow Deity pointed out to them. It was definitely not some dangerous place.

The light of dawn shone before them.

It was as if it was daybreak, but also a bit indistinct, the radiance not strong, but it also released light.

Apart from this, there was a type of power that spread over, making it hard for them to breathe, making them feel like they were suffocating. It was dignified, and also ferocious, a type of killing intent being released.

It became clearer and clearer. It was extremely grand, resting before them.

They came out of that passage, arriving at their destination.

A city!

Where was this place?

This place was extremely barren, no sign of life visible, no human activity, only a deathly stillness, as well as a type of sorrow accumulated throughout the ages.

A city, cold and cheerless stood there, extremely lonely. The traces left by the flames of war could be felt even from far away.

When they arrived here, Shenming was shuddering, difficult for her to control herself!

Sanzang was also alarmed, his scalp becoming numb. He felt a tremendous pressure, as well as an austere aura. His body also began to shake uncontrollably, inwardly fearful.

The two were Golden Undead Knights. They sensed the abnormality of this place. This was a battlefield with millions and millions of corpses! It was unknown just how many creatures had died because of war!

The ground below their feet didn’t have any true earth or stone, all of it produced from corpses, the dark red parts blood, the snow-white color crushed bones!

Moreover, the creatures that died were too powerful. This place definitely had a few unmatched great figures buried here.

Shi Hao was also shaking, not from fear, but rather because his blood was boiling, resonating, surging. He felt an uncontrollable urge to roar out!

In this place, the space between his brows shone, forming extremely ancient patterns that flickered with light, making the clouds in the sky collapse!

Sinner’s blood surged, collapsing clouds, splitting the heavens.

In this place, the blood that belonged to Stone Clan was boiling, burning. Patterns belonging to his clan appeared on his forehead. It was like a character, incomparably resplendent.

The space between Shi Hao’s brows was like a small sun. When he raised his head, the light that was released tore apart the heavens.

Shenming and Sanzang were stupefied, both of them looking at Shi Hao.

They were shaking inwardly because of how terrifying it was beneath the earth. There were too many powerful creatures buried here, while Shi Hao had this type of reaction, this left them deeply shocked.

What kind of place was this? This was what all three of them were wondering.

That city was a bit far, but the battlefield between them already made their bodies go taut, feel a tremendous pressure. It was like a sleeping immortal dao giant.

The three of them tried to calm themselves, only after a long time had passed did they gradually become more relaxed.

However, the pattern that shone from Shi Hao’s forehead didn’t disappear. It surged like a divine flame, burning the heavens!

They sized up their surroundings. This was a vast land, but they could sense that there were borders, that it wasn’t limitless. That city was precisely at the center of this land.

They didn’t approach the giant city, instead walking towards the border.

There were many remains on the ground, some already skeletons, some still having flesh and blood. Even after endless years passed, they didn’t rot, still in good condition.

Sure enough, the land had a limit. There was a screen of light around the edge, surrounding this place. It couldn’t be broken through, unshakeable!

En?

Sanzang was shocked. He saw some abnormalities.

It was because the light was semitransparent. He could see some scenes of the outside world. They were floating high up in the sky!

Below was a great desert, the golden sand reflecting specks of light. There were dried bones and other things on the ground as well.

Apart from this, in the distant horizon was a great pass that towered into the heavens, incomparably large, stopping one side’s Desolate Border, protecting this place.

“Imperial Pass?” Shi Hao was moved, extremely shocked. He saw Imperial Pass! Where was this place?

Where were they standing right now? In midair outside Imperial Pass?

Soon afterwards, Shi Hao seemed to recall something, his breathing immediately becoming rushed, blood rumbling. He suddenly turned around, looking towards that mysterious and lonely ancient city.

“Could this be… that legendary… city?” Shenming was shocked, couldn’t help but cry out.

Shi Hao no longer looked at Imperial Pass, instead looking at the mysterious ancient city floating in the air, eyes releasing blazing radiance. His heart was pounding, emotions surging within him uncontrollably.

“Desolate Border’s Seven Kings… the ancient city they protected!” He said to himself.

His war blood immediately revived. He finally knew why his body produced such a great reaction after coming here.

This was where his clansmen were. His ancestors had fought bloodily here, protecting Desolate Border, their blood splashing across the heavens!

Back then, when Shi Hao participated in the great battle between the three thousand provinces in Immortal Ancient Remains, he had previously entered a blood-soaked black ancient boat drifting in the void. That place was inauspicious and ominous, even more so having a king’s corpse.

On that ancient boat, through an altar, he previously learned about some of Desolate Border’s tragedy, knowing that there were seven paramount beings who brought their clansmen to protect Desolate Border.

He saw the clansmen behind the seven kings fall one after another, their numbers falling more and more the longer they fought. In the end, even the weak elder and the children who hadn’t matured yet entered that city. For the sake of facing the great foreign army, for the sake of protecting the city, they gave up their lives.

In the end, even members of the seven kings fell, some of them dying. As for their clansmen, including the women and children, it was hard to say just how many could remain!

Shi Hao had always thought that the city the Desolate Border Seven Kings protected was definitely Imperial Pass.

However, only when he personally entered Imperial Pass did he understand that this was not the case at all. There was another city that was even further ahead.

Only, after all these years, that city never appeared, hiding in this world.

Many people thought that it had already been destroyed.

Now, he personally saw it, moreover arrived here!

Shi Hao walked closer step by step, wishing to arrive before the city. He wanted to enter it!

To be more precise, this was a floating island. It couldn’t be considered some limitless continent, but it was still extremely vast, enough to serve as a battlefield, enough to construct a giant city.

Only, comparatively speaking, this mysterious ancient city was much, much smaller than Imperial Pass. Even though it was grand and intimidating, it was still rather ordinary in size, not piled up by stars, made from ancient stone material.

For some reason, when Shi Hao looked at this city, it felt even more vigorous than Imperial Pass, feeling that it experienced greater changes, more sturdy and powerful!

It wasn’t something in its scale or size, but rather that this city seemed to possess a soul, recording the sorrow and great changes of endless time, experienced the smoke and flames of war, soaked in the blood of undying, becoming a type of imperishable masterpiece itself! It didn’t fall after endless battles, remaining powerful here, stopping the other side’s troops.

“The legendary city… the true Imperial Pass!” At this time, Shenming spoke, actually saying this.

“The true Emperor City! Who would have thought that it didn’t fall, still standing here!” Sanzang also said quietly.

Then, they looked at the space between Shi Hao’s brows, at those patterns, revealing strange expressions.

“The clan who has matchless contributions, glory flowing through their blood, the imperishable imprint.” Shenming commented like this, referring to the imprint between Shi Hao’s brows.

Shi Hao’s body trembled. The so-called sinner’s blood, the imprint of humiliation on his forehead actually had this type of truth behind it? The undead knights knew of it!
