The city walls were covered with axe marks, sword holes, and mottled with ancient ruins. It was difficult to conceal the heavy atmosphere of history and added a kind of desolation.
Dao patterns were faintly discernible. This was the number one city on the path of the strongest trial, so there were naturally arrays carved into the walls to protect the peace of this place.
The majestic city gates were ten feet tall and built from a rare stone material. There were some sword marks and hammer marks on the surface that caused Ye Fan's heart to tremble. He could clearly feel the aura of the ancient Great Sage.
The city gates were very high and very deep. One man and one horse were traveling alone, and no one was keeping pace with him. The scene was very depressing and oppressive.
Ye Fan's spear was too breathtaking. It was so fast that no one could react. It had directly nailed a half-step Saint level beast to death. Many people were wondering if they could dodge it if it was aimed at them.
The middle-aged Daoist nun's face was gloomy. She stood in front of the grand city and stared at Ye Fan's back. Her eyes were malicious and murderous, but she had no way to make a move.
On top of the city gates, the soldiers' killing intent was too thick. They glared at the people below like tigers watching their prey. Since the rules of this place had already been announced, no one was willing to challenge them.
There were also several soldiers inside the city gates. Their murderous auras were biting cold. They were clad in heavy armor and metal battle suits, making it hard for people to breathe.
"I'm warning you once. Don't cause trouble here. Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot!"
A soldier with a medium build, dressed in black iron armor, and holding a bronze spear said. The cold light in his eyes was terrifying.
Ye Fan didn't say anything. His expression was calm and indifferent as he sat on the horse's back. He was as steady as a pine tree on a peak.
The Longma was a divine steed. Its four hooves stepped on the bluestone ground, emitting sonorous sounds. Its rhythm was calm and steady as it advanced forward.
"I'm talking to you. Did you hear me?!" The captain of the soldiers shouted. The bronze spear in his hand flickered with a cold light as if it was about to stab out.
Many cultivators revealed strange expressions, but they didn't say anything. They just watched this scene in silence. No one would have thought that the soldiers guarding the city gates would try to intimidate Ye Fan by taking him down a notch.
Everyone knew that these were definitely not ordinary soldiers. They had to treat them cautiously. These were definitely terrifying cultivators, experts who had crawled out from piles of corpses.
"I'm not a troublemaker. Don't provoke me." Ye Fan didn't turn around, nor did he look back. He sat on the back of his horse and passed by coldly. He didn't even look at the captain.
Many people were shaken. Even though Ye Fan spoke calmly, there was a hidden power hidden within. He didn't want to stir up trouble, but if he was targeted, a storm would definitely erupt!
"Are you threatening me?" The captain's eyes were cold. He pointed the ancient bronze spear in his hand forward, but he didn't stab it in the end.
Ye Fan didn't turn around, didn't explain, and didn't pay attention to him. He only left behind a silhouette as he entered the city. The black spear hanging on the Longma's back emitted a cold black light. Killing intent reflected in the eyes of the people behind him.
"I'm warning you. Once you enter the number one city of the human race, even a dragon has to coil up and a tiger has to lie down. No one can behave atrociously here!"
Ye Fan's indifference, as well as his cold words and actions, made the captain feel as if he was being challenged. He coldly transmitted his voice and heavily stabbed the bronze spear into the ground, causing the bluestone ground to rumble.
"What kind of soldiers are these? Why do I feel that they are stronger than us and not weaker?"
Outside the grand city, people entered the city in an orderly manner. Some people were discussing in low voices, feeling that these armored soldiers were very special. It wouldn't be wrong to call them heavenly soldiers.
"Because their origins are similar to ours, they are naturally exceptionally powerful." A slightly older cultivator sighed.
"They … what exactly are their identities?" Many people were astonished.
"They are also people who stepped onto the ancient path of the most powerful trials. They came a few years or even a few decades earlier than us, but they failed and remained on this path."
After learning of this secret, everyone was shocked. These people could be said to be the same kind as them. They were the first batch of people to set off. They were heavily injured and on the verge of death. After being treated, they were scattered to various parts of the ancient path.
"Don't provoke them. With so many people, there will naturally be good and bad people mixed in. Even though some people failed, they still couldn't let go of their hatred."
Many people nodded. At the very least, the captain in front of the city gates was definitely not a good person. Just now, he was quite hostile towards Ye Fan.
The number of people in the star domain became fewer and fewer. They formed a long dragon as they gradually entered the city. There were some people who were undoubtedly powerful, establishing their initial status.
The city was enormous and the streets were wide. Ancient trees lined both sides of the road, their branches lush and luxuriant. There were also many buildings, such as pill stores, weapon shops, restaurants, inns, casinos, and so on.
Everyone was shocked. This was a city suitable for living. Even though it was situated in the cosmos and not on a planet, it was separated from the heavenly domain's vacuum. There were quite a few residents in the city.
This was an enormous city full of life. A few children were running about. They were quite curious towards these people, continuously sizing them up.
Normally, the streets should be bustling with activity. From the buildings, one could guess how prosperous this place was. There should be streams of people moving about, shoulders rubbing against each other.
However, today, there weren't many people hawking their wares. The people in the shops were all looking outwards. Many of the people buying and selling along the streets also temporarily moved into the alleys, making way for them.
"Why are there so many people here?" Longma revealed a strange expression.
Ye Fan listened carefully. There were some people who understood this and began to discuss quietly. He learned quite a bit.
The ancient path of the most powerful trials had always existed since the ancient times, opening once every ten thousand years. However, how many people were able to ascend to the extreme since the ancient times? Countless experts had failed!
Quite a few people didn't return to their homeland, staying behind along the way. They excavated some pure lands, turning them into ancient lands of life.
Meanwhile, an enormous city like this was originally a perfect place to live, so it naturally became the first choice. In this world, it was hard to say what the ancestral lands of the residents were. It was extremely large and complex.
"Some of them became mortals, but there are still terrifying cultivators. It can be said to be a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are." Someone warned, telling them not to provoke the natives.
In reality, ever since they entered the city, everyone began to take precautions against each other, no longer trusting anyone else. It was because they were all competitors.
The middle-aged daoist nun and Ye Fan entered the city one after the other, so they naturally weren't far from each other. Her eyes were cold as she coldly said, "You should properly cherish the time before you. I will kill you!"
A wave of cold air immediately pervaded the streets. The people in this region all paid close attention, waiting for a conflict to break out.
The middle-aged daoist nun could be said to be overbearing, killing intent like a cold tide. She faced Ye Fan, as if she was going to immediately start a battle.
Ye Fan gave her a look. He knew that she didn't want to fight here, but rather was purposely provoking him to take action. She wanted to draw in the soldiers and kill him with a borrowed knife.
The captain at the city gate bore hostility against him. If he was successfully provoked, he would definitely use this as an excuse to ruthlessly suppress and kill him.
"Your heart is quite vicious, but I advise you not to provoke me. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences!" Ye Fan's eyes erupted with divine light. He sat majestically on the Longma, releasing the aura of a monarch.
The middle-aged daoist nun's eyes became sluggish. Her plan failed, but she didn't want to waste any more time. With a cold snort, she walked forward.
A total of 437 people entered the city. They walked along the wide streets, and then they were led to the plaza at the center of the city by several soldiers.
This place was paved with ash-brown stone slabs. Many traces had been carved over time. There was a tall stone platform in front of them, and an elder silently appeared.
His silhouette was blurry, and only a pair of eyes were like golden lanterns. They shot out terrifying divine light in the distorted space, and he said, "I am the guide and also the lord of this city. I only want to say a few things. First, not everyone can continue on their way. You all need to recuperate. Not long after, you will enter a training field to undergo the first test and selection. Second, during the time you stay in the city, you are strictly prohibited from fighting. Alright, everyone is dismissed. Find a place to stay and recuperate. "
Everyone originally thought that there would be a detailed explanation, but they didn't think that he would only say two things. His words were so short, and there were many things that they didn't understand.
"Senior City Lord, I want to ask you something. What should we do if we are attacked?" Someone asked.
"We can defend ourselves." After the blurry figure finished speaking, he instantly dimmed and disappeared from the spot.
Everyone was silent. This was too irresponsible. He just answered one question, and then he left. He didn't want to explain anything at all, and it was too half-hearted.
The heroes were dissatisfied, but they couldn't say anything. From now on, they were competitors and enemies. They didn't want others to have something to use against them.
The crowd dispersed, and everyone went to find a place to rest.
At this time, the peace in the city disappeared. The natives began to do business, and no longer made way for them. They appeared on the streets.
"Scarlet Moon Fruit Skewers, a thousand year ancient medicinal fruit, sweet, crisp, and delicious."
"Flood Dragon meat buns, thin skin and large fillings. It's free if it's not fragrant."
The ancient city was flourishing, and it recovered its liveliness and liveliness. The endless stream of horses and carriages made everyone stupefied.
"Am I on the ancient starry sky path, or am I in a mortal city?" Longma said to himself. Moments later, he calmed down quite a bit. Even the food being sold was very particular. There really were Flood Dragon meat buns, thousand year Scarlet Moon Fruit Skewers, Lightning Bird roasted wings, and so on.
If one wanted to stay in the inn, the waiter asked for a piece of divine source. This made everyone stupefied. The price here was too excessive.
The natives had an explanation, but they had no choice. The number one city of the human race was located in the depths of the cosmos, and it was too barren.
"Everyone, we are about to go to the training grounds. I believe you will return with great rewards. Divine source, ancient medicine, and so on won't be a problem."
Ye Fan rode his horse and wandered around the city to understand the situation. He raised his head and looked into the sky. There was a layer of sparkling divine glass that covered this place. The stars in the sky flickered, scattering down and absorbed by the ancient city. It was gorgeous and beautiful.
"Get lost!"
The streets were in chaos. A group of armored horses rushed over, their steps making the road rumble. It was as if raging waves were beating against the shore.
It was precisely the thirteen divine mounts that came from the ancient star domain of endless wasteland. Every single one of their mounts was a primordial species. They swallowed clouds and spat out mist. Their scales were brilliant, and they were like dragons leaving the abyss. It was as if phoenix cries shook the nine heavens.
Longma's scarlet scales were like multicolored clouds, flowing with precious splendor. The mane on the back of its neck was a foot long, and it was as if raging flames were jumping about. It was an extremely divine steed. It stood at the center of the road and didn't move at all. They met again, and it was still berated. Its killing intent surged!
Ye Fan didn't move either, coldly watching them approach. He was calm like a towering and unclimbable mountain that towered for tens of thousands of years, unshakable.
