Chapter 412: Chapter 336: Three Years! Epic Confrontation!_1
Wilderness, Splendid Forest.
At this time, the Splendid Forest had already undergone a vast transformation from its prior state.
In the center of the forest, a giant tree, reaching a kilometer high, stood tall, its crown touching the clouds.
The tree seemed somewhat like a pine tree, with dense and numerous needles displaying a silver-green color.
Its overall shape was triangular, resembling a colossal tower piercing straight into Yunxiao.
Strangely, its branches bore large numbers of structures similar to pine cones, laden with fruit.
The trunk was thick, with layer upon layer stacked upwards, forming a thick protective shield.
And in the center of the trunk, an ancient face could faintly be seen, eyes tightly shut, as it slumbered.
Pull the view higher still.
Ten kilometers to the east and west of the giant tree, two giant fortresses of starkly different styles stood proudly!
One was cast from reinforced concrete, approximately three thousand meters long, twenty meters high, with a base width of eighteen meters and a top width of fifteen meters.
At intervals of about thirty meters along the city wall, there were turrets bristling with a large number of artillery shells and weapons, all aimed eastward.
Sentries stood firm atop the walls, vigilantly surveying the surroundings.
Patrols of fully armed soldiers marched by, their gaze sharp.
Within the city were barracks, tents, concrete buildings, and so on.
Numerous soldiers and Professionists bustled about, creating a lively scene.
This place was the Human Race’s city in the Wilderness battlefield for non-human races and was also the second city established by the Blue Star People in this area, serving as the forefront fortress!
Ruin City!
And ten kilometers away on the western side of the Wind-Speaking Prairie stood the territory of the Cave Beastmen, where another giant fortress rose from the ground.
Constructed entirely from giant stones with special crystals embedded within, it was incredibly sturdy.
The city walls were adorned with patterns drawn with special blood and oil, revealing a unique aesthetic full of savagery, blood, and power.
On either side of the city wall stood four gigantic towers, guarding the massive city like fierce fangs.
Atop the towers were four huge Magic Crystal Cannons, aimed across the river.
Within the city, there was a multitude of Jackal Werewolves, Hyena Men, Spiderfolk, Lizard-men, and even a minority of Bat-men taking flight.
In the northeast corner of the city was a huge fenced area, housing both rideable wolves and Bipedal Flying Dragons.
The Blue Star People of the Human Race and the Cave Beastmen of non-human races were in actuality confronting each other across this space, using that enormous tree as the central axis!
Atop the walls of Ruin City, several figures looked out towards the giant tree.
The leader was an old man with silvery white hair, wearing a green robe adorned with strange patterns that formed layers of array-like designs.
A Formation Master of the Blue Star People, Epic Level, Xin Ruhuo!
Following behind him were several figures, leading them was the current leader of the Li Clan, Yang Ru’er!
“Ru’er, has there been any change at the entrance to the Blessed Land near the Ancient Tree?”
“Master Grandfather, there have been no changes,” Yang Ru’er replied. “Our sentries there still report daily, all is normal.”
“Spirit Charm Blessed Land…” Yang Ru’er expressed her concern, “Master Grandfather, it has been three years since the incident at the entrance to the Blessed Land. I wonder if the people inside…”
Xin Ruhuo said indifferently, “As long as the entrance to the Blessed Land remains, it proves that nothing will go wrong in the short term.”
“Moreover, the Blessed Land has its own space inside, with entirely different world rules, including the passage of time.”
“Three years may have passed in our outside world, but inside the Spirit Charm Blessed Land, it could only have been one year, a few months, or even just a few days.”
“It’s fortunate that you didn’t enter the Blessed Land back then; otherwise…”
Yang Ru’er also felt relieved as she said, “At that time, I was being hunted by the Bat-men and barely managed to escape, so I didn’t go to the Splendid Forest. I never expected a Blessed Land would appear there!”
“That was your good fortune,” said Xin Ruhuo with a glint in his eye. “Also… the Graduation Assessment of the School is half a year away, have you thought about where you want to go?”
In a low voice, Yang Ru’er asked, “Master Grandfather… do you have any recommendations?”
“The Chasm,” replied Xin Ruhuo.
“Three years ago, there was an anomaly in the Chasm, and a new ‘Gopher King’ emerged. This demon is a gopher that attained enlightenment and led the race to occupy part of the Chasm, exploiting our Human Race’s territory.”
“The Chasm is one of the three great battlefields of different races. It yields a large number of cultivation resources, especially Magic Crystals which are the main resource produced there.”
“The ongoing battle between the Underground Great Wall in the Chasm and the Gopher King still attracts countless talented youths, making it worth visiting.”
“Most importantly…”
Xin Ruhuo continued, “The Chasm is one of the most special worlds among all Heavens and Myriad Worlds. It is located underground, not beneath the earth, but beneath all Heavens and Myriad Worlds!”
“Almost every world has a Chasm underneath it, which connects to countless worlds in all Heavens and Myriad Worlds.”
“And in these underground worlds, there exists a ‘Dragon Vein,’ also known as the Earth’s Vein.”
“As Formation Masters like us, if we can set up arrays in accordance with the Earth’s Vein, the power could be increased by at least fifty percent.”
“Moreover, in the Chasm, one can also comprehend the way of Array by following the Earth’s Vein.”
“Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books. Your theoretical knowledge is already sufficient; what you lack is only practical application.”
“The Graduation Assessment of this batch is the perfect opportunity for you.”
Yang Ru’er immediately said, “As you say, Master Grandfather, I will heed your teachings.”
