Night Without End-Chapter 814 - 413: Land of the Chosen
Is this reaching above the Nine Heavens? Or a higher realm, even Outer Heaven? Qin Ming pondered, gazing at the towering giant city.
Nine-colored auspicious clouds roamed above the sky, weaving through endless black mists, tiny like a boat in a vast ocean, yet incredibly swift, shooting forth.
"Hiss!"
Qin Ming, amidst the sea of clouds, took a deep breath of the fierce gusts of wind. The majestic city looked near, but it was an illusion; ripples spread ahead, as if a mirror surface blocked the way.
With a whoosh, he charged through, seemingly entering a watery mirror surface, or piercing a strange passage.
"This is..." Upon passing the rippling area, he glimpsed the hazy truth, seeing boundless grandeur.
It was a vast cliff where the Heroic Pass sat, though still far away, its imposing presence could still be felt.
Towering walls stretched like mountain ranges, winding like a giant dragon, a mighty essence swallowing the heavens; towering buildings linked with stars and moon, gleaming auspicious light, flowing Tao rhythm.
Even the thick swirling black fog couldn’t cloak this city.
But why is it perched on a cliff?
Qin Ming believed he rode auspicious clouds, should have reached above the Nine Heavens.
He stared deeply; the distance between him and the cliff was vast, too wide, if not for using the Newborn’s Eye, he wouldn’t see the opposite side.
Qin Ming lowered his gaze to his feet, a shock in his heart, there were still smoldering meteorites, enormous star fragments.
This seemed like an unimaginably vast abyss stretched across this place.
Qin Ming gasped, was he not ascending to the sky, but rising from the Endless Abyss, witnessing the fractured high ground ahead?
"Perhaps the problem lies in the rippling mirror surface." He speculated that it might be a portal, leading him to a Mysterious Realm.
Soon, the nine-colored auspicious clouds accelerated, passing through a misty area, instantly shortening the distance to the city upon the cliff, arriving in the blink of an eye.
Upon truly arriving, Qin Ming immediately felt his own insignificance; the so-called "cliff" should be a torn continent.
Moreover, the scene before his eyes changed again; the majestic city, suddenly, seemed to have undergone thousands of years, decaying in the blink of an eye.
Walls like mountain ranges collapsed, buildings entwined with magic chains decayed, shattered, collapsing in masses, even the towering Divine Tree withered, turning to ash, rippling regular lakes dried in an instant.
This transformation seemed like the shifting of the stars, the changing of seas, everything vividly reflected.
From all directions, many descended upon the great cliff, still the beings from last night, numbering in hundreds, each veiled in mist, obscuring their true forms.
"Where is this?" Someone asked.
"The chosen land." Again, it was that mysterious being, consciousness waves emanating from the deep night sky.
Qin Ming realized the nature of this place, his "good friends" Bai Meng and the red-skirted woman Tang Yushang hailed from a similar place.
This place is destroyed, yet Tai Xu still exists.
In history, Yujing occasionally truly descended to the world, merging with the projection on the ground, achieving Unity.
Such a domain is termed the chosen land!
Now the glory has ended, only fractured earth and ruins remain; is this due to passing years, Yujing’s departure, or external forces breaching it?
A voice from the night echoed: "This is the chosen land from eight thousand years ago, you’ve witnessed its state, strive, lest your domain one day faces the same fate."
Many quietly observed, the entire domain was desolate, what kind of destructive power was endured?
"Is a new chosen land about to appear?" Some sensitively speculated, wondering if Yujing would descend upon Ye State?
The night remained silent, the unknown being didn’t immediately respond, only after a moment it said: "It will appear!"
"Why was this chosen land abandoned?" Someone questioned.
"Destroyed by adversaries." The voice from the sky candidly informed.
Instantly, commotion swept through the cliff.
In people’s hearts, Yujing stood supreme, possessing boundless might; for even its descent location to be reduced to ruins by opponents, a significant impact on the hundreds present.
Unfortunately, the voice was unwilling to communicate further.
"Coming here wasn’t to reminisce; enter the remnants, if seeking truth, explore the ruins, bravely confront, which serves as a trial for you." The instant following, the colorful auspicious clouds shot up, ushering everyone into the giant city, each placed in different regions.
"What you see has been the cleared battlefield, already devoid of the former great adversary’s presence, even now, it isn’t an easy path." The voice from the night reminded.
The ruins were boundless, hundreds dispersed here, all invisible to each other.
"Will people die here?" Someone asked, during last night’s journey back, someone had an accident, yet eventually resurged in their body.
"If killed, experiencing the agony of death, I... will try to save you."
Many felt chills on their scalps, trying? Does this mean some might not be saved, really dying entirely?
After landing, Qin Ming scrutinized the surrounding scene, broken walls and debris, the place was once a grand mansion but was destroyed.
He even saw a building’s dome made of Mutton Fat Jade Iron material, shattered on the ground, how extravagant!
He walked over, gently touched it; the Jade Iron crumbled, lost its luster, as though something drained all its Spiritual quality, not even as good as Mortal Iron.
