Chapter 1961: Entering the City of the Dead
“I finally believe what Mr. Bowman told us back then!” Azure Dragon said after taking a deep breath.
“Traveling by starship from a third-tier star domain to a fourth-tier star domain, not to mention the time it takes, just the cosmic storms and black holes are enough to doom anyone!”
“If it weren’t for Boss and Harleen working together during that storm, we would all be dead by now.”
“Indeed!” One of the people nodded in agreement.
The last time they encountered a cosmic storm, it didn’t seem too severe; even a second-tier starship passed through easily.
But the storm here was estimated to be seven or eight times stronger!
And who could guarantee that there weren’t even more terrifying storms or black holes in the vast star domain?
“Thank you, Mr. Billy, Lady Harleen!” At this moment, members of the Mysterious Hall Sect approached the two and bowed.
Each person’s face showed a hint of admiration.
In that situation, if any one of them, or even all of them together, had tried to handle it, they probably wouldn’t have been able to avert the crisis.
But Billy and Harleen, just the two of them, with a knife and a sword, had pulled everyone back from the brink of death. It was truly impressive!
“You’re welcome!” Billy responded with a slight smile and then looked at Aydin. “Aydin, let’s go!”
“Okay!” Aydin replied, and the starship sped away.
The journey ahead was mostly uneventful as the starship traveled at full speed.
One day, the starship stopped, hovering in an unknown star domain.
“Boss, are you sure the City of the Dead is around here?” Judge asked Billy.
“It should be,” Billy nodded.
“But there’s nothing around here. Where is the City of the Dead?” Judge continued.
“Judge, did you forget that the City of the Dead is protected by a formation?” Soul Chaser responded. “The city must be hidden by the formation.”
“Oh right! I forgot about that!” Judge replied and then looked at Billy. “Boss, what do we do?”
“Let’s get out first,” Billy said and then led everyone out of the starship.
Soon, they stopped about two or three thousand meters away from the starship.
Billy then released his spiritual power, covering an area of several kilometers around them.
Where there is an array, there will naturally be formation lines. Ordinary warriors might not sense it, but for Billy, it was no problem.
About fifteen minutes later, Billy’s eyes lit up slightly.
“How is it, Boss? Can you sense the formation lines?” Casey asked.
“Yes,” Billy nodded and instructed everyone. “Stay here and don’t follow me.”
He then flew towards the right side.
Soon, he reached a spot three or four thousand meters away from everyone else.
He released his spiritual power again.
Then, his hands moved rapidly, creating dozens of afterimages that formed a mysterious pattern several meters high in mid-air.
“Break!”
With a deep voice, the mysterious pattern flew forward, creating a whirlwind.
To Casey and the others’ surprise, the pattern disappeared after traveling several kilometers, as if sucked away by something.
The space returned to calm as if nothing had happened.
“What does this mean?” Stout couldn’t help but say. “Isn’t Maga City’s Ancestor playing with us?”
“Who knows!” Vermilion Bird shrugged.
“Quiet!” Ivy looked at Stout. “I can sense that the formation lines in this space are much denser than before. There should be a reaction soon.”
“Really?” Stout asked again.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Really! Look over there!” Felicia pointed towards Billy’s direction.
Everyone looked and saw an air vortex slowly forming several kilometers in front of Billy.
As time passed, the vortex grew larger and faster.
“Damn! Are we going to face another cosmic storm instead of finding the City of the Dead?” Stout shouted again.
“Retreat quickly!” Billy shouted as he flew back towards everyone.
Casey and the others hesitated for a moment before retreating.
Just as they moved back, a deafening roar came from that space. Thunder flashed, and the void shook several times.
At the same time, an immense aura surged into the sky, more terrifying than the previous cosmic storm.
Even though Billy and the others were several kilometers away, they were blown back a thousand meters, their blood churning.
The entire process lasted about five or six minutes before the space returned to calm.
“Is everyone okay?” Billy asked after adjusting his breath slightly.
“We’re fine!” Everyone responded after calming their blood.
“Look over there!” Alex Long shouted.
Everyone looked and saw a massive city appearing within their sight. The city’s scale was astonishing, at least twice the size of Great Blue City.
Like Sky City before, this city floated in mid-air like a giant beast lying in the sky.
The difference was that this city had no walls; instead, there was a large archway several hundred meters high in front of them. The top of the archway was engraved with two large characters in dragon-like calligraphy.
Because of the distance, they couldn’t see what the characters were exactly.
Such a large city hidden by an array was truly a miracle!
Without a map and a way to break the formation, who would have thought that such a massive city was hidden in this vast star domain?
“Is this the City of the Dead?!”
After a moment, Stout spoke up.
“It should be,” Bowen replied, his eyes lighting up.
Not only him but all members of the Mysterious Hall Sect also showed joy on their faces.
This place was what countless martial artists in the Great Blue Star Domain had been searching for. Now that it was finally in front of them, they were naturally excited.
“Mr. Billy, shall we go in and take a look?” Lacey Allison asked Billy.
“Let’s go!” Billy nodded.
He then led everyone towards the city.
Soon, they landed on an open space in front of the archway.
“It’s amazing how thick the spiritual energy is inside this city!” White Tiger couldn’t help but say as they walked into the city.
As he said, the spiritual energy here was indeed thick, comparable to Great Blue City.
Outside were rolling forests with occasional beast roars and unknown flying beasts passing overhead from time to time.
“It must be because of the array,” Black Tortoise replied.
“Boss, can you sense anyone inside?” Night Orchid asked Billy.
“I can’t sense anyone,” Billy shook his head and looked at Bowen. “Grand Elder, can you sense anything?”
“I can’t sense any human presence either,” Bowen also shook his head.
“Let’s go in,” Billy thought for a moment and added. “Be careful!”
With that, everyone stepped into the city.
