Chapter 416: Empress (1/2)

In a world far beyond the mortal realm, there existed a planet.

The planet was covered in many shades of colors and people could be seen flying out it from on various magical tools and vehicles.

This planet also had a moon that revolved around it. This moon emitter a pale green light from it and illuminated the planet with it. The strange thing was the sun that existed in the solar system was a dark blue color as well.

The light of the sun barely reached the planet and most of the light was provided by the pale green moon. There were forests, deserts, seas and snow mountains on the planet. But the most impressive part was not that but rather the massive amount of buildings that covered nearly half of the planet's surface.

There was a common symbol on each of the buildings and even on the ground itself. The symbol was that of a serpent biting its own tail. But the serpent didn't look like a normal one, but had the features of a dragon having a dragonic head.

If one looked up at the moon from the surface of the planet they would see another shocking sight. The moon had the symbol of the serpent present on it too. The serpent was emerald green in color and glowed with a stunning allure.

Among these countless buildings, cultivators could be seen going about their duties. Some flew to their destination, some teleported, while some just walked.

There existed an exquisite temple upon the top of the peak of the tallest mountain on the planet, far from the dense buildings. The temple was built directly into the mountain and the rest of the mountain was covered in a forest.

The mountain was rather peculiar in that, even at such a tall height there was no snow falling on it, despite the fact that the other mountains around it were covered in snow. At the foot of this very mountain, an old woman was standing.

Her hair was black but her face was still covered in wrinkles. She looked up at the peak and sighed.

She hesitated a bit before starting to climb the mountain. Despite being old her speed was astonishing and it was as if the space itself shrunk below her feet. With a singe step, she would cover tens of kilometers but even then the mountain still stayed the same.

One could tell from this just how tall the mountain was. If one looked at the clouds, they would find that they were quite far down from the peak. The woman continued to climb and was at the level of the clouds now. The dense clouds masked one's vision and made it difficult to see.

~Boom~

The woman had just entered the cloudy forest when suddenly an explosion happened. She didn't seem fazed by it and quickly dodged it.

”Hmph! Stop this!” She spoke.

~Hisss~

From behind the foggy forest, a giant head appeared. Its features were still hidden, but the glowing red eyes could not be missed.

”The mountain is forbidden for entry! No one is allowed!” A deadly voice came from the giant head.

~gulp~

The woman gulped in fear as she finally witnessed what the voice belonged to. It was a massive snake, just head of which was bigger than tens of elephants combined.

”It is urgent! Tell the Empress… 'his' presence was detected.” The old woman spoke.

~Hiss~

The hissing sound of the snake instilled fear into the old woman's bones, but she still held on.
