"Since you guys were forced to leave the Yellow Dao City due to the presence of a high-level demon beast, then you probably haven't found any information regarding the situation in the Sky Vault." Wei Suo frowned as he spoke to Li Ruo Hai.
"We didn't find anything. After we left Yellow Dao City, we came all the way here to wait for fellow daoist." Li Ruohai nodded his head and muttered to himself, "However, both the Beiming Sect and the Winter Palace are here. Furthermore, it is said that they are joining forces to seal the opening. According to the situation in the Yellow Dao City, if it was in the southern part of the Profound Sky Continent, no city would be able to withstand it. Moreover, if there are many cracks, even us Aurous Core stage cultivators might not be able to escape safely. "Based on the current situation, this trip to the Green City's Ruins is even more urgent."
"Since Fellow Wei has arrived, let's hurry to the Green City Ruins."
After exchanging a few more words with Wei Suo, the group of people immediately flew up and departed.
… ….
At this moment, this place outside the dome of heaven was still considered calm and peaceful. The surroundings of the Yellow Dao City that Li Ruhai and the rest of the group had mentioned while conversing with Wei Suo was actually a completely different scene.
When Wei Suo and the rest rushed to the Yellow Dao City, more than half of it was destroyed.
Although most of the buildings and halls were destroyed, many of them still looked the same.
The mountain gate of the Yellow Dao Sect at the peak of the Yellow Dao City was still shrouded in a green light; it was still intact.
However, at this moment, it was as if the entire Yellow Dao City had experienced the eruption of a volcano. The entire city was filled with deep ravines and various holes.
Some of the holes were formed by various magical techniques and magical equipment, while some were obviously formed by demonic beasts that drilled in and out of.
All the buildings had been turned into ruins, and there were barely any signs of the street.
The top of the Yellow Dao City had been reduced to ruins. For some unknown reason, the peak seemed to have been suppressed by a terrifying force, losing dozens of feet in the process.
There were traces of intense magical battles everywhere within a thousand miles around the entire Yellow Dao City. It was as if they had used thunder and fire to search the entire area. There were charred black spots everywhere and smoke still rose in spirals from many places.
Although almost all of the cultivators' corpses and demon beasts' corpses had already been disposed of, this radius of over a thousand miles was still unavoidably littered with many broken magic clothing, magic tools, broken limbs, as well as shattered carapaces, bones, and hair of demon beasts that didn't have any use. These things that could be seen everywhere gave off a shocking feeling.
However, in the night sky, within a radius of thousands of miles around the Yellow Dao City, the most astonishing thing was the crack in the sky that Wei Suo and the others had not come close to.
The rift in the sky directly split open at a place close to the ground. It split upwards about two thousand feet, and was over five hundred feet wide.
At this moment, not too far away from the crack, a fiery red altar had already been erected.
This altar had a circumference of approximately four hundred feet and a height of over a hundred feet. The entire altar was formed from a fiery red jadestone filled with a thick fire aura. The entire altar was covered in runes.
Thick, fiery clouds continuously radiated from the altar, and it seemed as if it was snowing above the altar, continuously condensing crimson flames.
These fiery clouds and crimson flames continued to condense upwards, forming a massive divine bird, the Vermillion Bird.
The Divine Vermillion Bird landed right in front of the tear in the sky, completely sealing it off.
The firepower coming from his body was astonishing, clearly far surpassing Wei Suo's Primordial Fierce Flame. The two hundred zhang of ground below the rift in the sky had been melted, forming a huge magma pool.
Behind this altar were another thirty-six black and red tower-shaped buildings, cast from pure gold, surrounded by lightning. On top of the tower sat a cultivator, looking as if he could control these thirty-six mind-boggling towers of gold at any time.
The ground behind the thirty-six pagodshaped buildings was about five to six hundred feet in radius, but it had been flattened and covered with a layer of hard and smooth green jade.
These green jades were engraved with lines of runes and symbols, and there were all sorts of crystals embedded on them. It was obvious that they had been arranged to form an astonishing large-scale spell formation.
On the two sides of this large formation, there were still four dark gray clouds roiling non-stop. Among them were four icy-cold Fiendgod statues that were fifteen meters tall.
This Demonic Divinity Statue seemed to be made from a unique grayish-black crystal, but a brilliant light surged in its eyes. From time to time, layers of yellow light would shine out, as if it were alive, and stared fixedly at the gap that the Fire Yuan Divine Bird had formed.
Two huge light shields, one blue and one white, surrounded the altar and the arrangement of the spell formations.
Outside the two shields of light, within a radius of several dozen kilometers, there were even more lights surging everywhere. It seemed that there were at least a dozen restrictions surrounding them.
There were at least fifty streaks of light circling the area. They were clearly guarding and patrolling the area.
On the east side, a few large halls were actually built. It seemed like they were for the cultivators who were guarding this place to take turns and rest.
At this moment, three cultivators were standing on the crimson altar.
The auras of these three cultivators were each more terrifying and vast than the last. The weakest among them was even more powerful than the previous Sage Coiling Dragon and the Ancient Alligator Cave Master.
A person who could emit such an aura must be a stunning, peerless figure in the world of cultivation! An existence of incredible power!
In reality, even if all three of them restrained their presence, if any cultivator were to see them here, they would be certain that these three were extraordinary existences.
This was because the attire and bearing of these three people were far beyond what ordinary cultivators could compare with.
Amongst the three of them, the person with the weakest aura was an old man wearing a purple robe. The old man wore a precious crown made of purple gold and white jade as he sat within a chariot.
The old man's face was as white as jade, but his eyes looked very old, and there was not a single wrinkle on his face.
The entire robe was made of a type of purple gold thread, without any runes or patterns. However, the spirit light it emitted was actually golden in color, and on the robe, there were actually nine golden dragons, giving off a powerful aura that was unique to me, like the nine heavens and ten earth.
The war chariot he was riding on was also purplish-red in color. Its entire body was a certain type of gold and it looked extremely heavy. At the bottom of the war chariot, a dense black gas continuously flowed out.
From a distance, these two strange beasts looked like they were made of gold. However, upon closer inspection, their bodies exuded a thick aura of death. It seemed that they were made from the corpse of two high level strange beasts.
If Li Ruo Hai was here and could see the war chariot, he would definitely recognize it as the Ghost Emperor's war chariot from the Netherfrost Palace!
The Ghost Emperor's war chariot was crafted from two Level 8 Intermediate Blackwater Qilins. It was one of the mountain guarding treasures of the Netherfrost Palace.
At this moment, the body of the old man carrying this chariot emitted a huge black tombstone made of Spiritual Energy. There were even some inscriptions that looked like talismans on it. It was ten zhang tall and extremely terrifying.
With this war chariot and this strange spiritual energy, the identity of the purple-robed old man whose aura was comparable to that of a prehistoric beast was revealed.
This person was definitely the Netherworld Palace's Grand Elder, a fourth level Aurous Core stage Ghost Emperor!
At this moment, beside the Ghost Emperor was a cultivator wearing white feathered clothes.
This cultivator's hair was all snow-white, tied up with a jade hairpin. However, he only looked to be in his thirties or forties. His thin lips were slightly raised, giving him an unspeakably arrogant appearance.
His feathered clothes were made from some unknown bird's feathers, and it looked indescribably white and elegant. Even without the stimulation of his primeval essence, it formed a snow-white spiritual light barrier around him. The spiritual light around him twisted and distorted as it transformed into the image of a white-robed Dao Sovereign, just like Patriarch Blood Spirit had done.
This white-robed Dao Sovereign looked extremely cold. His body exuded a brilliant light that danced in the air like countless lines of Ying and Si strings.
From the looks of it, this person had already reached the fifth level of the Aurous Core stage, just a step away from breaking through to the Divine Profound Realm!
Underneath him was also a white jade sword. This jade sword was also shockingly large. It was around 15 to 60 feet long, but the various parts of the sword were perfectly coordinated. It was shocking and magnificent. Unlike Vyso's flying sword, it looked like a door board.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the jade sword with his eyes lowered. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
This person was obviously the Supreme Elder of the Beiming Sect, the second most powerful person in the sect, Daoist Master Jade Sword!
Sage Jade Sword was said to be not only a cultivation genius, but also a cultivation maniac. He was famous for being vicious. If he didn't act, he would definitely kill his opponent the moment he made a move, leaving no survivors. Ever since he broke through to the second level of the Aurous Core Stage, he rarely left the Beiming Sect. Most of his time was spent cultivating in the Jade Sword Palace of the Beiming Sect, but now he was here.
But Adept Jade Sword was not the most terrifying out of the three.
Amongst the three of them, the one with the most terrifying aura was a middle-aged, bearded cultivator who wore a purple crown and a black and gold dragon robe.
The aura of this cultivator was extremely majestic, as if he held the life and death of thousands of creatures in his hands.
The spirit energy in his body formed a churning pool of blood above his head. It seemed as if there was a demonic god that was about to emerge at any time.
Below him was a black ancient dragon that was several tens of feet long. This ancient dragon's body was covered in black flames and its bones were emitting an enormous aura that was not inferior to that of a third or fourth level Jindan Stage cultivator. This aura was something that even a low level eighth level demonic beast would avoid if they were to sense it.
This skeleton was actually a ninth level mutated beast, the Ancient Heavenly Dragon's corpse!
The treasure that was currently being refined by the extremely large ancient dragon bone was placed slightly in a ring. Otherwise, it would spread out and be even larger than this altar.
It was recorded in the Nether Palace that the founder of the sect, the True Lord of the Nether Realm, had acquired the skeleton of a dragon in the netherworld and forged it into a heavy weapon. The inheritor of this heavy weapon was the palace master of the Nether Palace.
Right now, the person who was carrying this Heavenly Dragon Bone Dragon was clearly the current master of the Nether Palace, Emperor Nether!
Ghost Emperor Spiritual Master, Jade Sword Spiritual Master, and Ghost Emperor. All three of them could shake the entire northern part of the Profound Sky Continent with a single stomp of their feet. But now, these three people had all gathered here!
What kind of earth-shattering event was about to happen?
From the looks of it, these three people seemed to be waiting for something, and it was obvious that they were not waiting for some demonic beast. This was because Spiritual Master Ghost Emperor's gaze would occasionally sweep over, not towards the crack in the sky, but towards Yellow Dao City.
