Chapter 546 - A City Where Deities Could Dwell (2/2)

Once they stepped on it, they could imagine how glorious the city had been in its heyday. Even the Giant Holy City, known as the enormous city of the Northern Region, was nowhere near it in scale. It was just like a place where deities and devils lived in myths and legends!

These were the mysterious ruins!

An indescribable sorrow permeated the air between heaven and earth.

A suppressive force that was similar to the one present in the ancient westbound road grew more and more distinct.

Ding Hao managed to operate his Qi but found it had been suppressed to a limit. Even a powerful master at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm could not fly in such an environment; he could only move forward step by step.

More unusually, the suppressive force exerted a greater pressure on powerful experts, becoming lesser for weaker ones. People like Ji Yingqi, who had never learned martial arts, was free from pressure and could walk on the gravel road with great ease.

“Wheezing… Wheezing…”

There came a gust of wind all of a sudden.

Faintly, a strange sound was heard in the wind.

Ding Hao listened carefully and could not help showing an amazed expression.

Because the sound was changing with the wind. It sometimes sounded like a Holy Spirits’ battle song, sometimes like the neighs of horses and the clashes of weapons, others it was like countless elderly, weakened people, women and children weeping. It also sounded like the howls of beasts, and sometimes like the roars of devils…

The wind seemed to be retelling the story about everything that had happened in the ancient city.

“This city seems to have been destroyed in the war,” Song Que said thoughtfully as he looked at a half-collapsed building next to the gravel path.

Given the arena shape of the place, they looked at the arena, was covered in mottled weapon marks, along with a few palm and fist prints. Looking from the side, half of this stone building, which had been a hundred meters tall in its heyday, had vanished. There was an extremely clear giant palm imprint near the spot where he had been.

It was obvious that a sovereign master had struck with his palm in the distance, directly smas.h.i.+ng half of the building into powder.

Clang!

Bai Quanshui cut a rock with his sword.

Sparks flew everywhere.

He let out a cry of surprise.

The other people also wore grave expressions because there actually was only left a shallow white mark on the ochre rock that was seemingly decaying and unable to defend from a single blow after the expert Bai Quanshui chopped it.

Ding Hao hesitated for a while and then punched on a rock beside him.

Boom!

There was a shallow fist print left and the rock remains undamaged.

Ding Hao was totally shocked.

With the power contained in his blow, even a piece of thoroughly-tempered steel would be smashed. The weathered rock in front of him, however, was able to bear it, and he only left a shallow imprint on it. What an abnormal rock it was.

As they looked around, they found that the ruins of the whole city were piles of this kind of rocks. It was really hard for them to imagine what kind of force had destroyed such a hard and magnificent city, which had been decadent in those days.

Their shock was greater when they caught sight of the huge palm print on the collapsed ancient arena.

They failed to figure out who had actually destroyed such an enormous and majestic arena made from hard rocks with a single blow from a distance.

With the lights and shadows flickering behind, other experts of the Human Clan and the Demon Clan walked in through the portal in succession.

Everyone was stunned by the ruins of such a grand city.

After a short period of uproar and excitement, the crowd spread in all directions like streams and entered the other regions of the ruined city.

Those rogue cultivators and individual experts of the Demon Clan were unwilling to be together with people from the major forces.

After all, they didn’t know where the legendary divine treasures were in this giant city, so they were more likely to encounter some opportunities if they separated from the major forces. If not, they would draw water with a sieve once they found the treasures.

After taking the elixirs given by Ding Hao, Li Muyun and Liang Feixue felt much better.

They thanked him and waved Ding Hao off. Then, they went deeper into the city with more than a dozen rogue cultivators of the Human Clan.

Although they were from the same sect, they were seemingly unwilling to follow Ding Hao, for there was an estrangement between them.

An exclamation rang out nearby all of a sudden.

Ding Hao turned his head and saw several experts of the Demon Clan who had entered the collapsed ancient arena somehow. After searching for a while, they seemed to have discovered something.

A moment later, a Demon King with a dog’s head quickly ran out with excitement and kneeled in front of the Demon Royal Bu Tianjue with one knee. He held a broken stone spear in both hands and respectfully said, “Young master, I found a matchless sharp spear!”
