The silver city was called the Utmost Eight Purgatories City. It was divided into East, South, West, North, Sky, Earth, Life Gate, and Death Gate. It was also divided into the outer city and the inner city, which were built by countless barriers, restrictions, and small formations.
To build this city, Shi Yan had almost consumed all of his efforts. He had used all the precious treasures that the Monster Clan had stored in the Perpetual Night Forest for thousands of years. With the help of the Monster Clan, the alien tribes, and the Yang family, he had finally built it.
Today, Yang Tian Emperor, Di Shan, Li Zheng Rong, Cao Qiu Dao, Bing Qing Tong, and Han Cui gathered by Shi Yan.
In the center of the inner city, a massive silver crystal was carved with so many seals and symbols. Dazzling light was moving on the crystal, emitting a beauty that could shake people's hearts.
The silver crystal was as big as a basketball court. It was complete and flawless. Energy lines were carved inside, interweaving with each other. It was so complicated that it was hard to describe them.
"Do we need a divine weapon to be the eye of the formation?" Yang Tian Emperor's face was heavy. He clenched his fists as he looked tense.
Just like him, Di Shan and the others held their breaths, waiting solemnly. They wanted to witness the completion of the Utmost Eight Purgatories City.
"It must be a divine weapon! Only a divine weapon can make the Utmost Eight Purgatories City work and bear the backfire of the great formation. "Shi Yan breathed steadily as if he was calm. However, only he knew how tense he was.
"Divine weapon … In the Divine Great Land, only the Sect Masters of the seven ancient factions can have the real divine weapons. Shi Yan, do you really have one?" Li Zheng Rong's voice was uncertain. His eyes sparkled as he wasn't so sure.
If they didn't have a divine weapon to be the eye of the formation, their efforts during this time would be in vain. They wouldn't be able to urge the power of the Utmost Eight Purgatories City. It meant that they couldn't resist the attack of the seven ancient factions.
Shi Yan was still dirty and disheveled. Dust covered his entire body, and his clothes had holes. He looked like a beggar. He didn't look like the owner of this silver city, the master who had gathered forces from everywhere to build this city.
"Divine weapon … I think I have one." At this critical moment, even Shi Yan was hesitant. He didn't dare to say anything.
Yang Tian Emperor and Li Zheng Rong didn't talk more. They just looked at him in silence, waiting for his next move.
Taking a deep breath, Shi Yan took out the Sky Destroyer divine sword and rubbed the Blood Vein Ring. He was hesitant.
He believed that the Sky Destroyer divine sword and the Blood Vein Ring were both Divine Grade secret treasures. However, he hadn't decided which one to use to subdue the Utmost Eight Purgatories City.
The power of the Heaven Destroyer Divine Sword was boundless. With this divine sword in hand, he could use a huge amount of power. In battle, it would give him great benefits.
And the Blood Vein Ring seemed to have its own world inside. The War Devil, the Earth Flame, the Ice Cold Flame, and the Corpse Vanishing Flame were all inside the Blood Vein Ring. Once he used the Blood Vein Ring as the eye of the formation, it would be inconvenient for him in the future.
No one said anything. Outstanding characters like Yang Tian Emperor and Li Zheng Rong didn't have any divine weapons to use.
In the vast Grace Mainland, divine weapons were the rarest things that ordinary people couldn't have. Although they wanted to help, they didn't have the power to do so.
Shi Yan frowned, hesitating for a while. Eventually, he decided to use the Sky Destroyer divine sword as the eye of the formation.
As soon as this thought arose, he didn't hesitate anymore. He used his Soul Consciousness to guide the divine sword, releasing his will to control the divine sword, stabbing the massive crystal in front of him.
The divine sword flashed and then disappeared, embedding itself in a groove inside the crystal.
In the next moment, Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness seemed to connect with the entire silver city. The silver city seemed to become a part of his body. He could see everything, including the mysteries of the formations, barriers, and restrictions in every corner. As soon as his mind flickered, the barrier released its power.
Waves of silvery light rippled out of the enormous silver crystal. Like raindrops, they shot out in all directions and entered the center of each and every barrier and restriction.
The Great Fortune Spirit Gathering Formation under their feet started to operate crazily. The top-grade Origin Crystals in the ground seemed to have been ignited. Waves of boundless energy rippled out from the ground under everyone's feet and filled the entire Silver City.
The Gateway to Heaven shot up to the sky, turning into a massive vortex that started to crazily absorb the heaven and earth energy in the Perpetual Night Forest. The energy turned into five-colored light strips that naked eyes could see, which were absorbed by the Gateway to Heaven, scattering to every corner of the silver city.
Heaven and earth energy changed dramatically. All the creatures in the Perpetual Night Forest at a certain level could sense this earth-shaking change.
The Essence Qi and Soul Consciousness left in Shi Yan's body were drained rapidly by the Sky Destroyer divine sword.
Standing in front of people, Shi Yan couldn't help but grunt as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on him. His knees softened, and he kneeled on the ground. His face paled, sweat dripping from his body like rain. He looked so painful.
"Shi Yan!"
"Little Yan!"
"Master!"
Li Zheng Rong, Yang Tian Emperor, and Di Shan couldn't help but scream in fear. They stepped forward, trying to help him.
Shi Yan was kneeling on the ground, struggling to wave his hand. His face was twisted as he shook his head, panting like a wild beast. "Don't come here! No one can help me! "
He was the master of the Sky Destroyer divine sword. The sword could only take energy from him. No one could help him.
If he couldn't get through this, he would be annihilated along with the Silver City and the Sky Destroyer Divine Sword. Nothing would be left behind.
Everybody looked as if they couldn't bear it. Yang Tian Emperor's eyes reddened, his majestic body shivering.
Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui bit their red lips, tears welling up in their beautiful eyes.
Boom Boom Boom!
ShiYan's body suddenly emitted the sound of bones breaking. In just a blink of an eye, his skin was broken, and blood splashed everywhere. Even his handsome face was badly mutilated in just a blink of an eye, which was extremely terrible.
He had never told anyone that the master of the divine weapon that suppressed the Utmost Eight Purgatories City didn't have enough energy to support it. At the moment when the sword recognized him as its master, he would have to bear a tremendous pain.
If his power wasn't enough, he would have to endure the extreme torment. Perhaps, his flesh and blood would be squeezed out, and his soul would be drained. Eventually, he would explode and die.
He didn't say it, but people could see it clearly. They all knew the pain and difficulty of this process. Puff!
Puff!
Shi Yan's blood flowed through his entire body, gathering into a stream under his feet. His blood flowed through the grooves, seeping into the silver crystal in front of him. Pieces of his flesh and blood were mixed with his blood.
Shi Yan's sturdy body was now just skin and bones. He looked like a skeleton whose flesh and blood had been shaved off. It was so horrible that people couldn't bear it.
Yang Tian Emperor knew this kind of pain. When he used the Immortal Rebirth Secret to refine his body, this kind of inhuman pain was something that even a madman couldn't endure.
The pain Shi Yan had to endure this time included the pain in his soul, which was several times more unbearable than Yang Tian Emperor's.
Yang Tian Emperor wasn't afraid that Shi Yan couldn't endure it. He was afraid that if Shi Yan tried his best to endure it, his soul would fall first.
Unknowingly, Yang Tian Emperor's ten fingernails had sunk deep into his palms, making his hands a bloody mess. His eyes were garnet, his face ferocious. He was trying his best to restrain himself.
Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui didn't dare to look at him. Tears rolled down their cheeks. They turned their heads away, their shoulders shivering as they tried to hold back their sobs.
Cao Qiu Dao, Ling Ming, Li Zheng Rong, and Di Shan slightly bent their bodies, their eyes filled with grief.
"After this calamity is over, I, Cao Qiu Dao, swear that I will follow Shi Yan for the rest of my life." After a while, Cao Qiu Dao lowered his voice, his face respectful.
Fan Xiang Yun and the other warriors standing behind him listened to his oath. They kept silent, kneeling on one knee in front of Shi Yan. They stooped, as if they were swearing something in their hearts.
ShiYan had almost used his own power to protect all of them. Every onlooker knew what it meant, and they couldn't help but respect him.
Long Zhu and Long Ying were standing on the outer wall of the city, watching from a distance. Although they couldn't see the fierce Master Acceptance Ceremony in the inner city, they could feel the earth-shaking change of the silver city. The city was filled with thick energy. All the barriers and restrictions were revived, releasing immense energy fluctuations.
"This is the most ancient Master Recognition Ceremony. If that kid really is the Master of this Silver City, then he's going through the most terrifying pain in his life right now. Every second, he could be reduced to ashes." Long Zhu's countenance was complicated. A gleam of respect sparkled in his eyes. "He's so young, but he can do that. He's an outstanding talent in this world."
"Is the Master Acceptance Ceremony that painful?" Long Ying was surprised.
"If his realm was high enough, it wouldn't be. But he's only at the Peak of Spirit Realm! In the oldest Master Acceptance Ceremony, the more powerful the formation is, the more painful and dangerous it will be for the Master. " Long Zhu explained in a low voice. "I think this silver city can even deal with the Third Sky of True God Realm warriors. It means that when the Master Acceptance Ceremony takes place, the backfire of the formation can be compared to the attack of the True God Realm warriors."
Long Ying discolored in fright, screaming. "Isn't he courting death?"
Long Zhu pondered for a while, then shook his head with a forced smile. "Who knows? Anyway, if he can endure it, his will and tenacious will will reach a terrifying level where he won't be affected by any Mara. It's a big benefit for him to reach the King God Realm. Only when he can endure what ordinary people can't, when he enters the King God Realm, he won't be afraid of any external dangers. He can stick to his heart, be fearless, and achieve his true self. "
"Is he really that dangerous?" Long Ying was startled. "Grandpa, I've never seen you compliment someone like that. Is he worth your compliment?"
"Perhaps his realm isn't as high as Lin Meng's group, but his will and tenacious mind, together with his fearless spirit, have surpassed Lin Meng's." Long Zhu sighed unceasingly. "I don't think Lin Meng can become the King God Realm. But if this kid can endure it today, as long as he doesn't get killed, he will be the one with the highest chance to become the King God Realm in the Grace Mainland."
"What about Xia Xin Yan of the Pure Land?" Long Ying's soft body shivered, her face disbelieving.
"That little girl … no one can compare with her luck. However, to become the King God Realm, we can't just rely on luck." Long Zhu shook his head. "In my eyes, this young man's chance of success is much higher than that little girl's. If I have to say who has the highest chance to succeed in the future, I'll say it's him. His heart is strong, and no one can compare with him. "
"Grandpa, if he survives this kalpa, and the seven ancient factions come to kill him, what will you do?" Long Ying pondered for a while, then asked seriously.
"If he survives, I'll choose him," said Long Zhu resolutely.
Long Ying's soft body shivered hard. She covered her mouth, her face disbelieving.
