Chapter 1704: Chapter 720: Star City Tomb Sea
At the end of Li Yuan’s vision, there stood a towering, endless, immense Heavenly Pillar that spanned the entire Starry Sky.
The Heavenly Pillar stretched over countless light-years, with each end extending into the unfathomable depths of the Starry Sky, swallowed by endless darkness. The surface of the pillar was intertwined with black and gold, engraved with countless mysterious runes… Even at an infinite distance, these runes remained clearly visible.
And the aura it emitted felt eternal, undying, inspiring a sense of reverence in Li Yuan’s heart.
At first glance, it seemed as if it were a weapon left behind by an unimaginable being, which continued to shine brilliantly across the heavens even after endless ages.
“Immortal Sky Pillar.” Li Yuan murmured softly to himself.
He knew that this pillar was the legendary ‘Sky-Supporting Pillar’ left by the creator of Immortal Heaven and Earth, also known as the Immortal Sky Pillar.
This legend emerged from the three great Immortal Divine Halls, and it should be true.
“Swish swish swish~”
The countless mysterious runes on the surface of the Immortal Sky Pillar continuously released waves of magnificent divine glow, containing astonishing might. As they surged outward, they gradually transformed into various flames, streams, golden light, mist… The flames flowed like rivers surrounding the pillar.
Streams spread freely through the void, resembling colorful ribbons of mist…
Golden light, alive and ubiquitous, dazzling and brilliant…
Mist scattered… Ice formed into cones, suspended in the void, reflecting countless rays and shadows… Numerous phenomena rendered this part of the Starry Sky splendid and beautiful.
However, this was merely surface.
Across the entire Starry Sky, what most shocked Li Yuan were the immense, fragmented, surroundingly orbiting Starry Sky Continents of the Immortal Sky Pillar.
Each Starry Sky Continent was incredibly vast, and if observed closely, one could discover many ancient cities within… These were Star Cities!
Every massive, fragmented continent was a Star City.
“Legend has it.”
“Whenever a Star City Master falls, the Star City becomes ownerless. Under the invisible rules of Immortal Heaven and Earth, they eventually drift toward the Immortal Sky Pillar,” Li Yuan gazed from afar, feeling inexplicable awe: “Here lies the burial ground of a lost era’s Star Cities in the history of Immortal Heaven and Earth.”
“Star Cities like the sea… This Starry Sky is also known as the Star City Tomb Sea,” Li Yuan thought to himself.
This is one of the most mysterious regions of Immortal Heaven and Earth.
It is also deemed a place of origin, a place of destruction… Numerous Star Cities gradually drift closer to the Immortal Sky Pillar.
The closer the Star City is to the Immortal Sky Pillar, the more decayed and ruined it becomes, with many fragmented, until they eventually are utterly annihilated in the endless divine glow released by the Immortal Sky Pillar.
And just from Li Yuan’s observation, he had already seen more than three thousand Star Cities.
Currently, Immortal Heaven and Earth has only slightly over two hundred, mostly born in the recent tens of billions of years… From this, one can infer the ancientness of the Star Cities in the Star City Tomb Sea, likely originating from billions of years ago.
“Li Yuan.”
The voice of the Little Tomb echoed in Li Yuan’s mind, expressing with some sentiment: “Whether it is a Star City opened by a Dominator, or one opened by a Supreme, without exception, each Star City will eventually be destroyed under the function of the Immortal Sky Pillar, transformed into the most primitive energy flow, returning to the original rules of Immortal Heaven and Earth.”
Li Yuan understood.
Immortal Heaven and Earth is vast and limitless, its functioning rules perfected, indeed incredible… It is hard to imagine this realm being opened by a single formidable being.
Is this what the Eternal Realm is?
“Little Tomb, is your treasure hiding within this Starry Sky?” Li Yuan asked curiously.
“Fly to the left,” Little Tomb said, “Seek out the Honghe Supreme Star City, where the gift I prepared for you is located.”
Honghe Supreme Star City?
Just hearing the name, it’s evident that it should be a Star City jointly established by the two Supremes of the Honghe Alliance.
…
Li Yuan continued onward, repeatedly traveling the void.
After a long time, he finally entered within the Star City Tomb Sea.
In the outermost region of the Tomb Sea, many Star Cities, continents mostly remained intact, surrounded by countless strange energies and light, still dazzling endlessly, although the entire continent no longer emitted any vitality…
“Hmm?”
“There are still quite a few Quasi-Saints?” Li Yuan, using strong sensing, instantly detected some traces of powerful beings emanating from ruined Star City Continents nearby.
And this was only in the area he could observe.
What about the other abandoned Star Cities? Could there be no strong beings residing within them?
Thus, it can be inferred that the Quasi-Saint elites and even Emperor Realm gathered in the Star City Tomb Sea must not be few.
“Each Star City, at its peak, gathers a large number of Emperor Realm and low Rank Quasi-Saints. When the Star City Master perishes, whether due to the end of Cosmic Realm or due to very special circumstances, the entire Star City will inevitably march toward irreversible destruction. The Star City’s destruction also leaves behind numerous treasures and relics.” Little Tomb conveyed, “This attracted many strong beings seeking treasures.”
“Hence, historically, when any Star City is newly destroyed, it’s brimming with treasure, drawing numerous strong beings of Immortal Heaven and Earth to gather around for treasure-hunting, including Emperor Peak and even Dominating Existence.”
“These strong beings come quickly and leave quickly.”
“Under normal circumstances, a Star City is newly destroyed only every several million, tens of million years.”
“So most of the time, the entire Star City Tomb Sea remains relatively peaceful.” Little Tomb explained.
Li Yuan realized.
Most abandoned Star Cities within the Star City Tomb Sea have already been explored by generations of strong beings; few treasures are left behind, making it hard to attract any top-tier powerhouses to linger here for long.
