Chapter 751 Enter the City (1/2)
Most importantly, another change had happened to the city.
One scarlet-coloured pillar of light after another shot up into the sky. The interval between the emergence of each pillar of light was gradually decreasing and it didn’t take long for 81 scarlet pillars of light to rise up before them.
Every one of the pillars of light was of the same size, possessing a diameter of 50 kilometres and containing a destructive power that could send a chill down the spines of every cultivator present.
By then, the pillars of light had already smashed apart the sky above to reveal turbulent void space.
“Every one of the scarlet pillars of light is the equivalent of an attack from an Immortal artefact. Looks like this city is unlike what we had first imagined.”
“Heh! I heard that someone actually tried to utilize a cosmos pouch to collect the city before, how laughable!”
“That is true. Just by looking at the pillars of light, you will be able to tell that the one who constructed this city is at the very least an Ascendant Immortal. Rather, it might be someone stronger than that.”
“If it’s really someone at a higher level, everyone here will definitely have to go all out. By the way, would something like this lure over even stronger individuals?”
“That’s why, its is critical for the city to emerge faster. That way, we can enter as soon as possible. Then, after getting what we want, we’ll book it.”
“As if it’s that easy.”
“The number of pillars has reached 90.”
“Let me test the might of these pillars of light!”
A battle lance pierced through the void as it shot towards one of the scarlet pillars of light.
“A low-grade Dao artefact. Heh! This fellow sure is willing.”
“That’s Archdemon Watermoon from the Demon Plane. He had killed an uncountable number of Earthen Immortals from the Immortal Plane before. Tossing out some Dao artefacts is nothing big for him.”
Everyone was able to clearly see what happened next. The Dao-tier battle lance shot into the scarlet pillar of light and was never seen again. It was like a piece of wax thrown into fire, melted away into nothingness.
“100 pillars of light.”
Weng!
Finally, no more pillars of light emerged. Before them all were 108 scarlet pillars of light, each and every one of them piercing into the sky to take on a peculiar form.
After receiving power from the 108 stars, the city finished emerging from the ground. It stood steadily on the desert. Appearance wise, the interior of the city seemed tranquil even as a formidable atmosphere of coercion continued spreading out from the city.
When they finally beheld the full scope and shape of the city, all of the cultivators there sucked in a sharp breath of air. Even the cultivators from the Immortal Plane who had seen much were in shock at what they saw.
It was not because there was no city of such scale in the Immortal Plane. Rather, it was because a city this large should not have appeared in this Heavensday Battlefield.
“This city is likely not a relic from the war. I suspect that it has existed even before the war.”
“Surely not! Isn’t that too long?”
“What is so surprising about that? With the reinforcing magic of grand dao powers, a city can remain untouched for tens of millions of years.”
“This city has been sleeping for so long, not appearing even during the war. For it to appear now, there must be a reason for it.”
“Who cares about that? All that matters is that we can get some benefits from it.”
“It probably wouldn’t be easy to get benefits from this place.”
It was due to this change that Tian Xiaozi and Qing Hun’s group stopped confronting one another. Qing Hun did not look down on Chen Feng due to his cultivation level. On the contrary, he gave a display of good will before moving away.
As for Tian Xiaozi, he gave Chen Feng a cold look before leading his men away. He went to talk to other cultivators. It seemed he was making preparations for what might happen next.
“A city with a radius of over 50,000 kilometres. I have never even heard of such a thing, let alone see it,” Chen Feng said smilingly. Although he was still feeling shocked, he had calmed down somewhat.
“It’s not just 50,000 kilometres. There is no telling if this city’s interior has its own dimension or not. Brother Chen, our harvest this time will likely exceed our previous one. Assuming, of course, we succeed. Right now, I can feel a mountain-like pressure bearing down on me.” Liu Wuxiang shook his head. Although his face appeared calm, his eyes kept flickering. It was obvious that he was deep in thought about something.
“Let’s observe the situation first. We’ll decide after the others enter.”
“I fear no one will be willing to take the lead.”
“Did you two discover anything?” As Chen Feng was talking to Liu Wuxiang, he was also secretly communicating with the tree yao and Hell Dog.
“A bit.” The two Yao Immortals answered at the same time.
That surprised Chen Feng. He secretly continued, “Tell me about it.”
“This city has existed for at least several million years, maybe longer.”
“There should be some living creatures inside it.”
“This city is intact.”
“The one who constructed this city should be an existence surpassing the Ascendant Immortal stage.”
“Shape wise, it doesn’t look like something a cultivator from the Immortal Plane would build.”
“It also doesn’t look like something from Hell, the Ghost Plane or Nether Plane.”
“Entering it will likely be very dangerous.”
The Hell Dog and tree yao kept speaking, one following the other. Hearing them, Chen Feng grew stunned. Then, he began pondering the situation.
“There is indeed the power of a True Immortal here,” Tower suddenly interjected.
