Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 1335 - 647: Defending the City

Chapter 1335: Chapter 647: Defending the City

Molten Fire City.

On the majestic city walls, a tower stood tall, with the topmost level being a vast void. Within the void, around a dozen figures floated, some with towering and imposing physiques, others concealed in dim light.

In the next moment, the void rippled slightly as another figure appeared, stepping into the tower’s interior. Clad in a green robe, his skin bore fine green scale armor, and his aura reached the level of the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak. However, upon entering the tower, he restrained it as much as possible.

Lv He, the Divine Monarch, glanced over the many figures within the tower and quickly noticed a figure deep within the group. His gaze shifted subtly, then he cupped his hands in a salute, smiling as he greeted:

“Divine Monarch Jingtian, it’s been a long time.”

“With Divine Monarch Jingtian stationed at South City Pass, we can all rest easy.”

As a Seventh Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarch, the only individuals who could command his respect were the Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch Dominators. The figure clad in a white robe was indeed an Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch Dominator, Divine Monarch Jingtian.

Divine Monarch Jingtian was obviously acquainted with the newly arrived Divine Monarch Lv He. He looked Lv He over and sighed regretfully: “It’s been several eras, and Fellow Daoist Lv He has further improved. Although I remained in seclusion during those eras, I still have nothing to show for it.”

Only Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarchs could choose to guard the city, and below the Eighth Layer Heaven, only Seventh Layer Heaven Peak Divine Monarchs had a chance to be assigned such a role, which they often did not refuse.

Several eras ago, Divine Monarch Lv He had yet to reach the peak of Seventh Layer Heaven. Now, after many eras, he had finally made a breakthrough, which left Divine Monarch Jingtian rather wistful. For he had joined the Flame Sun Association at least several hundred tribulations of time ago, and during this long period, he had witnessed many individuals achieving breakthroughs in cultivation and power levels, yet he remained at the Eighth Layer Heaven.

On one hand, advancing in strength after reaching the Eighth Layer Heaven was more challenging. On the other, his situation differed from others. While others still had avatars in the outside world to gather resources and comprehend the Great Dao, all his avatars had been destroyed, leaving only his Divine Power True Body trapped in the Abyss of Eternity.

The Abyss of Eternity offered no resources to collect, so to comprehend the Great Dao, he could only sit and ponder in isolation, accumulating enough guarding time over long years to eventually engage in prolonged seclusion in hopes of gaining insight.

Alternatively,

he could take a risky venture outside to find some unusual sights in the Abyss of Eternity to aid his comprehension. But that was often quite dangerous, and for someone like him, who only had his Divine Power True Body trapped there, he was naturally unwilling to risk anything.

Upon hearing Divine Monarch Jingtian’s words, Divine Monarch Lv He also sighed: “We, trapped in the Abyss of Eternity, have our paths of cultivation ultimately obstructed. If it were the outside world, Divine Monarch Jingtian might have long reached the peak.”

From the standard Eighth Layer Heaven level to the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak, it was essentially a matter of course, requiring comprehension of more Mystical Fusion of the Three Profound. Having already entered the Eighth Layer Heaven and comprehended at least one Mystical Fusion of the Three Profound, further comprehension should not be as difficult as the initial ’from nothing to something’ stage.

Often, with enough accumulation of time, one could eventually reach the peak.

But the Abyss of Eternity was ultimately too barren, with no resources and little available for comprehension, which is why Divine Monarch Jingtian remained stuck in the Eighth Layer Heaven for such a long time.

Indeed, what concerned Divine Monarch Jingtian more was not the path from Eighth Layer Heaven to the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak; after all, regardless of the predicament and scarcity, with his foundation and realm, he could reach it through long periods of accumulation.

What troubled him was that even the step from Eighth Layer Heaven to the Eighth Layer Heaven Peak was so difficult. After reaching the peak, attempting to break into the Nine Layer Heavens seemed extremely unlikely, suggesting he might be eternally trapped in the Abyss of Eternity!

Eternal Beginninglessness, Abyss of Eternity.

It truly lived up to the name of this perilous place.

After hearing Divine Monarch Lv He’s words, Divine Monarch Jingtian only slightly shook his head, casting his gaze into the distance at the vast red rock cavernous land. He remained silent, offering no further response.

Meanwhile, the other nearby Divine Monarchs all exchanged greetings with Lv He, the Divine Monarch.

“Lv He, congratulations.”

“The last time we discussed the Dao, I felt your accumulation was deep, needing only the final push. Indeed, in just several eras, you took that step, and now we all look towards the Eighth Layer Heaven together.”

Apart from Jingtian, the numerous Divine Monarchs were all Seventh Layer Heaven Peak figures, treating Lv He with much courtesy.

On one hand, Lv He had reached the Seventh Layer Heaven Peak, matching their strength, and on the other, within the Abyss of Eternity, the Divine Monarchs in the cultivator camp were on the same front. Furthermore, for the next ten thousand Boundary Years, they would be responsible for guarding the city together, requiring mutual cooperation with no room for errors.

After hearing the words of everyone, Divine Monarch Lv He smiled faintly, responding to each of them in turn.

“There should be no one else arriving for this city guard duty, right?”

Someone suddenly asked.

Generally, for city guarding tasks, having one Eighth Layer Heaven Divine Monarch stationed with over a dozen Seventh Layer Heaven Peaks was sufficient to handle typical-level Abyss Beast harassment, with only rare events proving challenging.
