Chapter 496: Chapter 329: The Ultimate Interpretation Right of ’Cang Mountain Sword Discussion’ Belongs to the Court! [New Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets!]
"Prospered?"
"Mildewed, perhaps?"
Wang Zhengyi looked at the city in front of him, his teeth almost chattering: "This is the ’King City’? Is this really the ’King City’? Can I accuse the court of fraud?"
Accuse the court?
Who dares to accuse this official in court?
Yan Chuan helplessly said, "The Sword Discussion is organized by the court, and the final right of interpretation belongs to the court. If they say this is the ’King City,’ then it is the ’King City’!"
It was the first of July.
The Cang Mountain Sword Discussion had just ended a few days ago. Yan Chuan, Wang Zhengyi, Chen Ze, Wang Ge, Fu Yunzhan, and others followed Mountain and Sea Department Director He Hao through the Star Gate to an unknown domain in the Mountain and Sea Realm, to receive the ’Arena Master Award’s’ First Tier prize, which was—
King City!
However, what lay before them was not the imagined prosperity of Danhu Royal City or Hunxi Royal City, nor even the grandeur and bustle of Nanxiong City.
Desolation!
Ruin!
This was a ruined city!
The once mighty city walls were now reduced to broken remnants, massive stones scattered haphazardly on the ground. The patterns on the walls seemed to have been erased by the forces of fire and impact.
The city gates were no more, leaving only charred wood and twisted metal fragments. These were once the avenues in and out of the city, witnessing countless gatherings and farewells. Now, these pieces emitted eerie sounds in the wind, as if narrating the past horrors.
Looking further inside, one could see the remnants of palaces, once splendid and now only charred earth. The palace roofs had collapsed, walls full of cracks, with burned furniture and decorations still lingering in some of the corners. The grand halls once used for lavish banquets now only contained silence and darkness.
The temple’s stone columns were broken, with collapsed stones piled into small mounds. The idols were mercilessly destroyed, leaving pieces scattered on the ground, once symbols of faith, now silently enduring the erosion of time.
The market area was in even worse chaos, stalls thoroughly wrecked, goods burnt, with the once bustling scene nowhere in sight. The stone slabs on the streets were shattered, exposing dark channels beneath.
It seemed this place had suffered some cosmic calamity, as if a meteor had struck. In the center of the ’King City,’ a giant meteor crater had sunk, swallowing countless buildings, seemingly the culprit of the city’s destruction.
"This—"
Yan Chuan, considering that this was the Mountain and Sea Realm where martial levels were higher, couldn’t help but look at Mountain and Sea Department Director He Hao: "Lord He, is this the wrath of a Martial Arts Great Power, snatching stars and destroying a King City with their might?"
"..."
He Hao looked at Yan Chuan, his expression strange.
Seeing Yan Chuan’s wide eyes and innocent look, He Hao couldn’t help but laugh: "You young people and your imagination—"
"Martial Arts Great Power?"
He laughed, admiring Yan Chuan’s imagination: "There might indeed be such... ’Great Experts’ in the Mountain and Sea Realm, who could destroy a King City with a mere gesture. But as of now, we haven’t seen such powerful beings. It’s only something we’ve heard in myths, mere hearsay, without much basis."
Blast Bricks!
Blast Walls!
Blast Houses!
Blast Buildings!
Blast Streets!
Blast Towns!
Blast Mountains!
Blast Cities!
Even an Innate Grandmaster would have about the destructive capability to demolish a single house. ’Towers’ and ’Streets’ couldn’t be leveled with a single blow.
The ’Great Experts’ Yan Chuan mentioned belonged to the ’Blast City’ level, and furthermore, the ’Blast King City’ level. Between an Innate Grandmaster and the ’Blast City’ level, there were still several major layers separated by ’Blast Buildings,’ ’Blast Streets,’ ’Blast Towns,’ and ’Blast Mountains’!
Blast King City!
What level would that be?
He Hao couldn’t imagine.
...
"That’s good then."
Yan Chuan patted his chest, breathing a sigh of relief.
He was now just a small fry who had yet to achieve Innate, situated at the absolute ’Ant Realm’ among the ’Ant Realm,’ ’Fellow Daoist Realm,’ and ’Senior Realm’ in the background of immortal heroes and fantasy.
If this King City indeed got destroyed by a ’Blast City Level’ Great Expert, accepting this King City was one thing, but he was more afraid of prematurely encountering such a high-level Great Power, bringing him immense mental pressure.
Fortunately!
Fortunately!
"This was a meteor descending from the heavens, a pure cosmic disaster."
Yan Chuan listened in awe.
A King City!
Judging from the King Cities in the Guangling Territory like Danhu and Hunxi, there should be War God level masters here—
"War God!"
"Beyond Limit-breaking! Beyond Innate!"
"Such formidable individuals were also destroyed by a meteor?"
Wang Zhengyi was astonished.
Having been associated with the Guangling Academy and spent considerable time in Danhu King City, he had some understanding of a King City’s overall power.
King City had profound power!
In fact, at the start of the Sword Discussion, upon learning that the highest reward would be a King City, Wang Zhengyi was skeptical.
King City was invincible!
The Fifteen States of Great Yan, on the surface, only had forty-four Innate Grandmasters, counting the newly emerged Chen Ze, making forty-five.
Innate Grandmasters were certainly not weak.
But that’s in Great Yan.
In the Mountain and Sea Realm, even just corresponding to Guangling County’s Guangling Territory, there might be more than just several dozen Innate War Generals.
Wang Zhengyi previously doubted how Great Yan could conquer a King City, occupy a King City.
Now he understood.
It turned out to be a ruined city.
While he felt a bit tricked and cheated, he couldn’t help but find it incredible that an entire King City was completely destroyed by such a cosmic disaster like a meteor.
How small of a probability would a meteor striking a King City be?
