Chapter 1510: Chapter 658: Demon Capital Ruins! Encircling and Attacking Ji Xiuning!
“Whoosh… whoosh, whoosh…”
The two people and one beast suddenly plunged into a doorway like a black hole.
At the same time, the Skyguard Knight Order led by Ji Xiuning swiftly reached the seabed, getting as close as within a hundred meters to Lanling.
The energy traces of Lanling and his companions completely disappeared from Ji Xiuning’s spirit vision, vanished without a trace.
Lanling’s spirit could see the ruins of a city, shimmering like light and shadow.
Yet, in the eyes of Ji Xiuning and the others, the seabed appeared empty, filled only with countless stones and flickering energy jellyfish.
The three energy bodies they had been tracking were utterly gone.
Unwilling to give up, Ji Xiuning searched everywhere on the seabed, releasing powerful spiritual power to sense every inch within a hundred miles, but found nothing.
“Saintess, could they have died?” a Skyguard Knight suggested.
Ji Xiuning did not reply, continuing to search and explore the seabed.
After entering that doorway like a black hole.
Lanling’s spirit experienced bewilderment and transit!
It took quite a while before he regained clarity and perception.
Here, there was no more seawater, they were no longer underwater.
Moreover, he, Gou Li, and the three-headed Chimera Beast were no longer just soul lights, they regained their complete bodies.
Looking around at the ruins again, they were no longer mere shadows, but real, tangible ruins.
This vast expanse of ruins was boundless.
Everywhere in sight was a decaying city.
Indeed, this was the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, once the capital of the Ancient Misfortune Empire.
Previously, Lanling searched the entire seabed in vain to find these city ruins because they lay in a separate realm of life and death.
Strictly speaking, only the dead or souls could see these ruins.
After Lanling, Gou Li, and the three-headed Chimera Beast’s bodies were shattered, and they turned into pure souls, they could see the omnipresent ruins of Doom Magic Capital.
Moreover, he no longer had to worry about Ji Xiuning and the others catching up because this was true isolation between life and death.
Walking in the gigantic ruins of Doom Magic Capital was truly like walking in a primeval forest.
The entire city was beyond recognition now; everywhere were shambles, not even a single complete building could be found.
Where could one possibly start searching for the Ghost King in such immense ruins?
How did the Ghost King enter these ruins, and where did it finally perish, or whether it even died, remained unknown.
“Master, let’s fly into the sky to search!” Gou Li suggested.
At once, Lanling slapped his forehead; they had already entered the world of ruins and were no longer underwater, so of course, they could fly into the sky.
Thus, Lanling and Gou Li mounted the three-headed Chimera Beast and flew high into the sky.
At this moment, Lanling realized that this world of ruins was not in the same time and space as reality.
It wasn’t an illusion; it was real. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novｅlfire.net
However, it existed in another time and space.
As Lanling flew higher on the three-headed Chimera Beast, he found the sun remained out of sight, and the sky was eternally gray, as if in the underworld.
Moreover, the clouds here were motionless.
The ruins, too, showed no signs of change.
No wind blew, no sun shone, no rain fell.
Flying at an altitude of twenty thousand meters, the entire ruins came into view.
Indeed, this was the location of the Sea of Misfortune, identical in circular outline.
However, in this space, the three hundred fifty thousand square kilometers had become a ruin, and a sunken circular ruin at that.
Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years ago, this was where Doom Magic Capital stood.
One city, of such incredible size, showcased just how astonishing the Demon Race civilization was?
What force could have instantly destroyed such a colossal city?
“Master, even the three-headed Chimera Beast can’t fly out,” Gou Li remarked.
“Of course, they can’t fly out; this is a separate space,” Lanling replied.
Gou Li said, “It feels place has completely died; what kind of weapon could instantly destroy such a large city?”
Lanling said, “This weapon came from outer space, the legendary Star Power, which instantly destroyed Doom Magic Capital. The tremendous energy tore everything apart, including time, and space! Hence, here, time is stopped. Even though outside, time has passed for thousands or tens of thousands of years, in here, the destruction of Magic Capital happened just a second ago. This post-apocalyptic world was instantly preserved forever, isolated into an independent space dimension. Outside, the Sea of Misfortune is the natural evolution of time, where a massive crater turned into a massive inland sea.”
Gou Li said, “So, we are still in the Sea of Misfortune, just the same location in a different time-space?”
Gou Li asked, “How do you know?”
Lanling said, “Look at the ruins of the Magic Capital; are there any signs of wear on the walls?”
Gou Li took a closer look and indeed found none; all the ruins were new, as if they had just been destroyed.
Gou Li said, “Then why aren’t there any bodies? If time-space is frozen, there should be bodies!”
Lanling said, “There are two possibilities: first, when the enemy attacked Doom Magic Capital with Star Power from outer space, all life instantly evaporated without a trace. Second, the people of Doom Magic Capital knew doomsday was approaching, so they escaped in advance.”
Gou Li said, “Let’s hope they escaped in advance.”
Lanling was taken aback and asked, “Why? You don’t seem like a sentimental person?”
Gou Li said, “Because they are from the same nation as us, my master.”
Then, Gou Li asked, “Master, do you think the Ghost King is here?”
“It must be,” Lanling replied.
Gou Li said, “The time-space here is frozen, meaning if it’s here, it hasn’t died yet!”
An undead Ghost King, hiding in this Magic Capital ruin, how terrifying could that be? One could fully imagine.
How powerful was the Ghost King?
It single-handedly unified a third of the Southern Barbaric Lands and defeated seven major Demon Army Federations.
Such strength was nearly on par with the Dragon Emperor.
If it hadn’t died and was somewhere in the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, would Lanling even attempt to devour its energy?
That… would be truly absurd.
A single finger of the Ghost King could probably crush a Demon Sect.
Lanling and Gou Li, riding the three-headed Chimera Beast, hovered above the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, searching for traces of the Ghost King!
After searching for several hours, to no avail, Ji Xiuning finally temporarily gave up and led the Skyguard Knight Order to the sea surface.
“Guard every corner of the Sea of Misfortune from above; he will come out eventually,” Ji Xiuning ordered.
“Yes!” The hundred Skyguard Knights swiftly dispersed, each monitoring a range of thirty-five hundred kilometers, releasing spiritual power to monitor every energy fluctuation.
Ji Xiuning said, “Send a message to the Sky Holy Palace, saying that the remnants of the Ghost King have been found, requesting more Skyguard Knights for support!”
“Yes!” a Skyguard Knight responded, flying eastward.
Traveling from the Human Kingdom to the Southern Barbaric Lands was convenient; one could cross the Aurora Gate. But returning to the Human Kingdom would be troublesome, requiring an unknown number of miles in flight.
Then, Ji Xiuning led ninety-nine Skyguard Knights to monitor the Sea of Misfortune, waiting quietly.
One day, two days, three days, five days…
As time gradually passed, Ji Xiuning seemed not the least bit anxious.
And just then, the clouds in the sky seemingly split apart.
A dazzling ray of light!
One after another, peerless beauties appeared, riding fire phoenixes from the crack in the clouds.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of them!
Anyone witnessing this scene would be utterly astonished!
To encounter one peerless beauty was already rare.
Yet now, thousands of peerless beauties appeared.
Each carried grace and elegance.
In this world, only one place harbored so many peerless beauties.
That was the Witch Kingdom, where women could reproduce without men, and all the offsprings were girls!
Thousands of witch warriors surrounded Ji Xiuning’s Skyguard Knight Order!
