A great bandit overlord turned and retreated, indirectly proving the true fearsomeness of a supreme True King—one who could already rival an overlord, possessing extreme power and was unkillable.
From this day forth, the twenty-four great bandits of the Plunder Heaven Plains would no longer target this category of supreme geniuses.
But this was only before the Dark Night Siege Battle. Once the Dark Night Siege Battle began, those who needed to act would still act.
The Primordial Demon God stood tall in that stretch of sky, holding a Doomsday Heavenly Halberd, truly resembling a peerless demon god with an awe-inspiring, majestic bearing that made many bandits watching from afar and some young prodigies who had not yet withdrawn sigh in admiration at his invincible demeanor.
Truly worthy of being a supreme True King, indeed incomparably terrifying.
Whoosh—
The Primordial Demon God suddenly swept his gaze toward several figures in the distance—Ye Chen, the Yuan Yao Divine King, the Sun God, and other Young True Kings.
Even for someone as powerful as him, only these figures were qualified to be his opponents in the same generation, considered true rivals.
However, he did not attack again, for it was not yet the true time, and after the battle with the overlord-level great bandit, his consumption was also significant, which was not conducive to a fight.
The other supreme geniuses also faced each other from afar. Although their auras were vast and powerful, given the pride of figures like them, they utterly disdained attacking when their opponent was greatly depleted.
Such methods were base; even if they won, it would not be glorious. On the contrary, it would invite criticism.
Finally, the Primordial Demon God left, his entire person tearing through the air and disappearing.
The Nine-Headed Sacred Dragon roared toward the sky, pulling the palace-like, grand and imposing carriage as it soared into the heavens.
The sun hung across the sky, and the Sun God also departed.
Several other blurry and terrifying figures each left afterward.
A peak-level confrontation thus came to an end.
Ye Chen strode away, heading straight for Dark Night City, stopping a thousand li away and advancing no further.
Even from a thousand li away, one could still feel the grandeur and immensity of Dark Night City.
During the day, it merely stood like an ancient metropolis, appearing magnificent and majestic. But after nightfall, this mythical ancient city, suspected to be where the Dark Night Sovereign passed away, would truly reveal its mysterious halo, capable of swallowing the starry radiance filling the sky, drawing it into the city, making it supremely sacred and extraordinary.
This ancient city was indeed extraordinary, possessing remarkable divine might.
"The Dark Night Sovereign held great renown in the Mythical Era, ranked alongside the Sun Sovereign as the Twin Sovereigns. Legend has it that once the two Sovereigns joined forces, they would harmonize Yin and Yang, giving birth to chaos, becoming invincible under heaven."
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor seemed quite knowledgeable, mentioning many ancient secrets regarding the Dark Night Sovereign.
Ye Chen, from a thousand li away, occasionally measured this grand ancient city, but did not enter within a thousand li, simply not wanting to alert or draw the attention of the powerful figures within Dark Night City.
However, for some reason, when he approached Dark Night City, an object on his hand suddenly grew warm, emitting a faint, ghostly light.
It was Old Yan's ancient ring. Since the Starry Land within the Heavenly Pass over a decade ago, Old Yan had seemed to suddenly vanish from the world, never appearing again.
Even in the Ancient Lan World, with his absolute control over the world, he had never sensed Old Yan's presence.
This matter had always been a puzzle in his heart.
What exactly happened in the Starry Land back then, causing Old Yan to disappear without a trace so suddenly?
Yet this time, when approaching Dark Night City, the ancient ring left by Old Yan suddenly glowed and grew warm, greatly surprising him.
Unfortunately, the ghostly light only flickered for an instant before disappearing, with no further movement.
"Old Yan..."
Ye Chen missed that old man who was both a teacher and a friend. Gazing at Dark Night City from afar, perhaps he might obtain some trace of news about the old man within that ancient city.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
While measuring, golden patterns continuously extended from beneath Ye Chen's feet, sinking deep into the earth, appearing very mysterious.
The Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor asked curiously, "Little Yue, what are you doing?"
Ye Chen replied, "A method that will come in handy later."
After staying outside the thousand-li radius of Dark Night City for a full half month, Ye Chen finally finished his measurements and let out a light sigh of relief.
If possible, when the Dark Night Siege Battle arrived, personally imprinting these array patterns and Dao marks would prove very useful.
Hum—
At this moment, a token in his embrace suddenly flickered with a ghostly light.
Ye Chen took it out. It was a communication token, containing an important message.
Wind Heaven City was under siege!
What happened?
Ye Chen was stunned, and the Corpse Devouring Insect Emperor was also stunned. They had only been gone for half a month, yet someone dared to attack Wind Heaven City? That was far too audacious. Who didn't know that Wind Heaven City was the ancient city under the control of him, the Battle Saint King?
Moreover, ordinary siege news wouldn't be transmitted to him. It must be that an extremely formidable figure had appeared, prompting the distress call.
"Let's go!"
Without much hesitation, Ye Chen immediately threw out the Void God Platform. With a whoosh, his entire person transformed into a blazing streak of lightning that vanished into the void.
Wind Heaven City.
Boom—
A group of powerful young prodigies suddenly descended from the sky, all extraordinary individuals—numerous geniuses and prodigies from the Dragon Phoenix Academy, numbering over a hundred. At this moment, they approached Wind Heaven City, directly pressing forward with imposing momentum, startling the people within Wind Heaven City. Someone shouted loudly, "Who dares to trespass into Wind Heaven City!"
"People of Wind Heaven City, open the city gates quickly to welcome our entry, or bear the consequences yourselves."
Among the over a hundred young elites outside Wind Heaven City, a powerful King roared, his authority immense and his Saint might vast, directly pressing forward.
If not for Wind Heaven City continuously maintaining its protective city barrier, under this King's pressure, many of the bandit guards on the city walls would have collapsed, unable to withstand it.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Powerful figures descended onto the city walls—the over a hundred young geniuses subdued by Ye Chen, including the three Kings among them.
Looking at the similarly over a hundred young prodigies who had come to provoke them, one of the Kings couldn't help but sneer, "I wondered who it was. So it's you, Zhao Wudao, along with Canglan Saint, the Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom, and the Saint of Blood Glow Valley—the four of you. Do you know whose ancient city Wind Heaven City is?"
Leading the over a hundred young geniuses were none other than Zhao Wudao and the other four Kings who had previously been defeated by Ye Chen. Now, they had actually led a group of young geniuses into the Plunder Heaven Plains and were clamoring to declare war on Wind Heaven City.
"It belongs to the Battle Saint King!"
The King spoke coldly. Every time this name was mentioned, it always evoked deep-seated fear and dread from the four Kings, for he was too powerful, making them suffer repeated defeats without the ability to resist.
"So what if it's the Battle Saint King? Today, this King will take this city!"
A terrifying figure strode out from behind the numerous young geniuses. He was born heroic and majestic, with golden hair cascading over his shoulders, holding a war spear, clad in golden battle armor, his gaze extremely intimidating.
Heavenly Roc King!
