Chapter 690, Storm Martial Emperor
The huge wooden door and wooden frame were extremely thick, not like ordinary wood, and dark in colour. Under the illumination of the distant stars, the dark colour was glittering, as if something had whizzed past. It looked incomparably ancient. The deep brown markings were unexpectedly glowing like black gems, like there was a vague life force waiting to come out, but was confined in the wooden frame. Upon a more careful look, there were small green buds growing between the wood markings.
“The nineteen levels of the road of chaos. This is the entrance to the first city. Once you walk through this door, you really are on the road of chaos. There may be many obstacles along the way, take care.” The chubby old man seemed to have finally found the opportunity to speak, smiled at Ye Qingyu and the others behind him.
Everybody looked at the huge wooden door carefully with a slight solemn look.
At least in Heaven Wasteland Domain, there absolutely wasn’t such a huge tree to be found to make a giant door of more than four hundredmeters high.
“Woof! Quickly go, quickly, its one month, don’t waste time, woof will lead the way!” The silly dog suddenly drilled out of the crowd and flew towards the door.
“Wait…” The fat old man waved his hand in panic.
But as soon as he uttered a word, he heard a gallop, and the fat body of silly dog had passed through the wooden door and fell hard on the black rock on the other side of the door.
The others couldn't help bursting into laughter.
“Woof! Hurt! This…” Silly dog twitched about his limbs, trying to get up for a long while. Then turned his head toward Yan Wushuang, grinned with pain, revealing his milky white teeth, and roared, “Fat old man, why is it like this? It hurts, you, don’t tell me you are deliberately teasing us?”
“No, no, no, little dog, you misunderstood, not like that, this door is located at the beginning of the Ruins Domain. It is the first guarded checkpoint, ordinary people cannot enter. You need our seal to open it…” Yan Wushuang's temper was too good, smiling as he explained. And as he was speaking, his face was beaded with sweat, like he had just jumped out of the water.
What was strange was that, although the chubby old man’s round face was soaked in sweat, his clothes were dry and did not show a bead of sweat.
At the same time, the frozen statue-like Shuang Wuyan finally reached the front of the crowd.
He and Yan Wushuang each took out half a seal of ice and fire respectively, and affixed it to the wooden doorframe.
The next moment, a blast of ice and fire spread from the seal and covered the wooden door. Totems and statues similar to ancient symbols instantly surfaced on the originally extremely smooth edge of the doorframe. Like it was lit up all of a sudden, they were lifelike, and full of a sacred and majestic imposing manner.
The totems, fused with ice and fire, erupted in a burst of silver and red light.
In a flash.
A water screen, like a silver waterfall pouring down, suddenly emerged over the door.
In the water screen, vortexes of ice and fire that were constantly changing shapes and intersecting were frantically surging towards the center of the doorframe, as though it wantedto suck in everything into the vortex.
The first door of the Ruins Domain was finally opened to the people of Heaven Wasteland Domain.
“Go.” The skinny old man Shuang Wuyan was the first to step through the water screen, expressionless.
“Haha, right, come on, everybody, I know you're in a hurry.” The chubby old man Yan Wushuang grinned, fingers pointing to the water screen splashing out silvery light, but did not reveal the slightest of what was behind the door.
Ye Qingyu looked at the water screen in front of him, incredibly astounded.
Because vaguely he could feel that the fire and ice in the water screen unexpectedly contained a hint of the power of laws of fire and ice.
The crowd followed the skinny old man, entering through the giant door in succession.
“And you little fellow, let's go.” Chubby old man Yan Wushuang crouched down to pick up silly dog Little Nine who was growling in fury, held him in his arms, and turned toward the water screen.
“Woof woof!” Silly dog struggled discontentedly, but was still unable to free himself from the chubby old man's hands.
Ye Qingyu also followed.
The moment he stepped through the water screen, his eyes blurred, his body felt lighter, and he fell into nothingness.
But in the blink of an eye, there was another flash of brilliance and his feet firmly stepped on the ground.
A boundless and barren desert of about several thousands of miles came into view.
Lonely, desolate, and bleak.
It was a new world different from the dark and empty welcoming plaza from before.
In the distance of the barren land, there was an imposing yellow city like an immemorial sacred mountain, looming in the yellow misty sky, like a mirage.
The giant city was like a giant guarding the center of the barren desert world.
With everybody’s eyesight, even from afar, they could see that in this huge city there was an imposing building that towered into the sky.
At the top of the towering building there was a crown-like structure that was about four hundred or five hundred meters in diameter, peculiar in shape, and emitting a golden glow, like it was constructed from pure gold. It resembled a sun illuminating the world. The golden rays of light, which contained a strange power, were the light source of this desert, illuminating the barren land like the sun in daytime.
And tense of thousand of meters above the tremendous city, there was also a layer of silvery wind, similar to the one in the welcoming plaza. It was about a hundred meters thick, like a glass shield shrouding the giant city together with the people in the desert. Outside the wind layer was the lonely and dark universe void, as well as the endless storm of chaos, the space of death of star fragments.
The silver wind layer guarded the land.
Without it, the desert, along with the tremendous city, would have been destroyed in an instant.
Ye Qingyu's cultivation was the highest, and he could also see the clearest.
He was certain that the silver wind layer as well as the desert were by no means formed naturally. Rather, an unfathomably almighty person had reversed the rules of the universe with the supreme power of laws, in order to build such a world in the middle of the storm of chaos.
Who was it that could achieve such a thing that defied the heavenly law?
Could it be the legendary martial arts emperor?
The astonishment within Ye Qingyu’s heart was indescribable.
This was the first city of the nineteen cities on the road of chaos.
He already had a faint grasp of what this just meant.
“Haha, well, finally arrived, you see, this huge city in front of you is the first of the nineteen chaos cities, called [Sunrise City], which is named after the person who established the city,” finally came the voice of the chubby old man Yan Wushuang from the water screen.
Although the chubby old man had a round figure, but he was exceptionally agile and not clumsy at all.
Silly dog Little Nine finally struggled free from the old man’s arms, like a bag hanging on the chubby old man's wrist while his little white teeth firmly gripped onto the old man's wrist, growling. It was clear that he was furious and was not going to let go. The old man simply stood there with a helpless expression across his face.
Ximen Yeshui who was teasing his parrot also felt a light pain at his heel when he saw this scene.
He looked gloatingly at the chubby old man and could not help remembering the miserable experience back in the Formation Emperor Luo Su’s palace when the silly dog bit onto his heels for several days and was unwilling to let go.
“The person who built this city…” A glint of astonishment flashed in the eyes of Empress Ye Xiaoxing.
She looked at the distant awe inspiring [Sunrise City], which was standing in the distance like an imposing giant, and could not help opening her mouth to ask, “Elder, you mean this huge city was not built from the collective efforts of countless former sages, but the power of one person?”
“Yes, this city was built by one person, overnight. There have also been evildoers and almighty ones, as well as sacred ones among the later generation who had occasionally repaired the city, but those were only minor repairs… This giant city was personally created by His highness Ou Xuri with a lot of effort.” The chubby old Yan Wushuang smiled.
In his tone of voice there was undisguised respect.
On the other side, Shuang Wuyan, who was like a block of ice and as if everyone in the world owed him a lot of money, when he saw the huge city in the middle of the isolated desert, took on a respectful and solemn expression.
“Ou Xuri… His highness?” Ye Qingyu exclaimed.
After he had read the bamboo scrolls of the Immortal God Emperor Sect, he had a better understanding of the great wide world and the Domain Alliance, and vaguely felt that the name Ou Xuri seemed a little familiar, as if he had heard of it before. For a moment he did not respond.
However, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the name.
“Hahaha… the name Ou Xuri may be a little unfamiliar to you, if I say his honorific title… I'm sure you would know.” The Chubby old man Yang Wushuang rubbed his belly, revealing a proud smile on his simple face.
“What honorific title?” Wen Wan was very curious.
“Storm Martial Emperor.” The skinny old man Shuang Wuyan, who was unwilling to say a word all along, stated loud and clear.
Before his voice faded.
Everybody was frozen.
Including Ye Qingyu.
After a long while, a number of incredibly shocked voices sounded.
“Storm Martial Emperor!”
“The Storm Martial Emperor of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors at the top of the Human Race?”
“Heavens.”
“This huge city was founded by a martial arts emperor of the Human Race?”
The people of the Heaven Wasteland diplomatic corps found it hard to contain their emotions. In everyone's heart, there was a sense of belonging bubbling forth. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, as the most powerful people in the history of the Human Race, as well as the spiritual pillar and pillar of strength for the Human Race to be able to survive among the three thousand domains and the thousands of races, all had an incomparable weight in the hearts of every human.
Although Heaven Wasteland Domain was a small domain that had just begun to try to integrate into the great wide world, the legends and great miracles about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had long been circulating. The stories of their heroic achievements were frequently heard and repeated in detail among Human Race martial artists——and even the civilians of the Human Race.
It was a pity that no one of Heaven Wasteland Domain had ever seen the historical relics of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
When they suddenly heard that the giant city in front was built by the Storm Emperor of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, everybody could not wait to visit the place——
