Chapter 492 - Entering the City
Below the sea, about ten meters away.
Xiao Budian grabbed onto Tang Huan"s collar and Flamewing Phoenix King"s small hands as he quickly traveled forward. The existence of water magic caused Tang Huan to still be like a fish in water. Even if he had to stay underwater for a day and a night, he did not have to worry about being suffocated to death, nor did he have to care about the pressure and resistance of the water.
Not long later, Tang Huan estimated that he had already walked forward a few thousand meters.
Deep within the ocean, his field of vision had been greatly affected. However, what made Tang Huan distinguish the direction he was heading was not by his eyes, but by the obscure connection between "Xuan Ming Initial Fire" and "Flame Heart". As long as one advanced towards the location of the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire", one would definitely be able to reach the "Forgotten City".
Time flew by like a shuttle. Tang Huan maintained the powerful Perception Ability at all times.
After almost half an hour, the surrounding seawater suddenly became pitch black. Tang Huan was not alarmed, but instead happy. The reason for such a situation should be because the light above had already been completely blocked, which very likely meant that they had entered the fog-shrouded ocean near the "Forgotten City".
Very quickly, Tang Huan sensed numerous undercurrents.
"We"re almost there!"
Tang Huan was overjoyed. The appearance of this undercurrent allowed Tang Huan to confirm his earlier judgement that this place was indeed near the "Forgotten City".
The reason why the "Forgotten City" had not been known for so long, aside from being hidden by the dense fog, was another very important reason: the hidden currents that surrounded the island.
If they went the wrong way, the moment the s.h.i.+p entered the fog, it would be pulled away from its original position by the undercurrent, and then it would continuously circle around the island. If they were lucky, they might be able to escape from the fog, but if they were unlucky, they would never be able to leave.
However, Tang Huan was not so worried.
Although it was pitch black, Tang Huan could still feel the direction he was heading in. As long as he could find the right direction, it was impossible for him to get lost. After all, he wasn"t just by himself, he was also bringing along the Flamewing Phoenix King and Xiao Budian.
One of them was a Stage Nine Martial Saint, the other one was a Demon King of the Stage Nine.
They traversed through the layers of undercurrents, their speed plummeting.
After almost an hour, the surrounding water suddenly became quiet, and the darkness gradually dissipated. Faintly, Tang Huan could even see the land in front that was diagonally extended into the sea. This was clearly an ocean which had successfully pa.s.sed through the dense fog, it was extremely close to the "Forgotten City".
"Yiya!"
Xiao Budian seemed to have realized this and shouted out emotionally.
To the side, Flamewing Phoenix King who was being held by Tang Huan"s hands secretly heaved a sigh of relief as her beautiful face revealed a slight smile.
Tang Huan"s speed increased greatly, in a moment, he was already out of the water.
In the air, the layer of dark blue aura enveloping his body quickly dissipated. On Tang Huan"s back, a pair of wings had already condensed and formed. At practically the same time, Xiao Budian opened up three pairs of small fleshy wings, and Flamewing Phoenix King also revealed two fiery red wings.
Three figures flew up into the sky. Within their vision, they were suddenly enlightened.
The clear seawater continued to extend forward for several hundred meters before a ma.s.sive island appeared. The shape of the island was rather strange. After the land was above the sea surface, it slowly moved towards the center and then slanted upwards, looking like a huge funnel that was dozens of meters tall.
A majestic city lay atop it, and all sorts of large and small buildings rose up from the ground. They were arranged in an orderly fas.h.i.+on, and seemed to be endless, to the point that their size was definitely comparable to the Heavenly Forging City s.
"Forgotten City!"
Tang Huan"s eyes lit up slightly as the wings on his back began to flap rapidly. Not long after, he and the Flamewing Phoenix King almost simultaneously landed on the side of the city. However, Tang Huan felt an extremely stifling sensation the moment he entered the "Forgotten City".
Xiao Budian also felt that something was amiss, he retracted his wings and sat back down on Tang Huan"s shoulder, but his blue eyes continued to look around.
"Whoos.h.!.+" "Whiz!"
Tang Huan and Flamewing Phoenix King followed suit and walked along the street.
At this moment, the "Forgotten City" was simply too quiet. It was as if everyone had fallen into a deathly silence. The huge city seemed to only have the slight sound of two people"s clothes tearing through the air as they moved out. As a famous experiential learning place, how could it be so calm?
Could it be that all the people in the city had been killed by the "Xuan Ming Ghost King"?
"Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and "Five Colors Spiritual Pills" were frantically circulating. Within a radius of a hundred meters, not a single movement could escape from Tang Huan"s senses.
The further they travelled, the more astonished Tang Huan became.
This "Forgotten City" did not look like a city that had existed for countless years at all.
In just a few short decades, Dragon Spring Ancient Town in the Origin Continent was already in ruins, with ruins everywhere and overgrown with gra.s.s and trees. But in this city, the roads were still clear, the houses were continuous, and on the streets, forget about plants and even dust.
The entire city was extremely clean. It appeared to be completely spotless. It appeared as though it was a new city that did not have the slightest ancient feeling.
This region seemed to have been frozen in time countless years ago. The "Forgotten City" he saw this time was completely different from what Tang Huan had imagined.
"Could it all be illusions?"
Tang Huan could not help but frown, he suddenly suspected that the scene in front of him was not an illusion created by the "Magic Demon Illusion Array", if not, how could the "Forgotten City" that had been here for countless of years be preserved so well, without any damage?
It wasn"t impossible that there was such a possibility!
If the "Xuan Ming Ghost King" was really targeted at Yu Feiyan, the "Magic Demon Illusion Formation" that she had set up would definitely cover the entire Forgotten City.
"Feng Ming, you … "Hmm?"
In the next moment, Tang Huan"s footsteps paused slightly, but before he could even finish, he couldn"t help but raise his eyebrows and exclaim in surprise. At the end of his vision, a large group of black figures appeared, rolling down the wide street like raging waves, in an instant, they were less than a hundred metres away from Tang Huan. They were all black figures, and every single one of them was several metres tall, which was extremely huge.
"Yiya!"
Xiao Budian suddenly raised her claws and pointed to her left and right.
Tang Huan looked over in the blink of an eye, and discovered that there were also a large group of st.u.r.dy black figures surging over from the two sides of the street. Not only that, but the back streets had also been blocked by the people who had appeared out of nowhere. An unusually cold and sinister aura had simultaneously swept out from all directions.
