Immortal God Emperor Imperial God Emperor 1374 - Burning Black Ancient Castle

w.a.n.g Jianru had given Ye Qingyu a piece of Beiming Departure Jade once. It contained the mystery of time and s.p.a.ce, and there was a technique in the bronze book [FiendG.o.d t.i.tled Chart] known as the [Master of s.p.a.cetime]. It was an Emperor-level technique that allowed the user to control the laws of s.p.a.cetime, and Ye Qingyu was hunting for it somewhat.

Before, Ye Qingyu used the tile as a medium for his Light Emperor Detection Technique divination, eventually discovering the lost ancient city. It existed in the flows of time and s.p.a.ce in an extremely isolated location. It was no wonder that Ye Qingyu could not sense its presence in the past.

He had already gotten a sense of the lost ancient City of Chaos's aura.

He was still unable to confirm if Nan Tieyi and Hu Bugui were in the city.

However, Liu Shaji's hypothesis was extremely reasonable.

Even so, Ye Qingyu unexpectedly sensed a somewhat familiar aura within the ancient City of Chaos that he had divined. He had encountered the same kind of aura on Little Ten, the white-boned battle beast, and it was for this reason that he summoned Little Ten the moment before setting off.

Little Ten appeared before Ye Qingyu instantaneously.

After the past few millennia, its level of cultivation had still remained at peak ninth Quasi-emperor realm, and it was still not truly at the Emperor realm yet. This was because it was restricted by its foundation. Little Ten was a parasite and could only improve its realm of cultivation by consumption. It had to consume the corresponding kind of being that possessed the kind of skills it wanted. As there were no Emperor-level experts that it could consume over the past two millennia, its realm of cultivation had remained stagnant.

"Master," Little Ten greeted Ye Qingyu respectfully.

Ye Qingyu nodded and looked at Liu Shaji. "Let's go," he said.

Just as his voice fell—

A dimensional ripple glittered, as if it were water ripples, and engulfed all three of them. With a flash, they had disappeared from the dimension they were in.

"This is the lost ancient City of Chaos?"

Ye Qingyu and the other two appeared in the s.p.a.ce that looked like an ocean tide. A s.p.a.cetime torrent was howling, and there were many unstable power of laws. Even Emperor-level experts would be stranded in such an environment—it was that terrifying. If it were not for Ye Qingyu, both Liu Shaji and Little Ten would be completely unable to stand their ground in such surroundings, just like people who could not swim when they were thrown into the ocean. They would definitely be swept away by the waves.

In front of them, an ancient black castle loomed on the horizon.

It was a rundown castle that was cast completely from black molten rock. The formations on it were crude, and dents of various sizes covered the black stone surface. There were dents made by various weapons, and roughly one-hundred-meter-tall castle walls surrounded the entire black castle. By raising their gazes above the walls, they could see that a strange tower-like structure had been erected. It surrounded a huge gigantic black tower, which was a few thousand meters high, in the center of the castle, and it looked like a sword thrusting into the sky.

The entire black castle gave them an ancient feeling.

"I wonder if there'll be residents in this ancient castle?" Liu Shaji asked, his heart full of curiosity.

He hoped that he could find his long lost brothers within.

"I seem to have felt a familiar calling. There are my kind within this ancient castle," Little Ten said, feeling emotional. It had been unable to achieve a breakthrough for a while now, and its power had remained stagnant. It felt lost and trapped, but now, the moment it saw the ancient castle, it seemed to have regained some of its memories, and it had a vague premonition.

"Let's go in to take a look."

Ye Qingyu brought the other two out of the s.p.a.cetime tide and advanced swiftly toward the black ancient castle.

Soon afterward, all three of them appeared at the huge gates beneath the ancient castle.

From a short distance, they began to understand its vastness and width. It was even greater than Heaven Connect City, the headquarters of the old Alliance of Domains. Ordinary people were no taller than ants before a rat hole when they stood beneath the castle gates.

"There are signs of underworld fire."

Liu Shaji reached out to stroke the black castle walls, sensing the presence of heat.

"Indeed, these are burn marks left behind by underworld fire... The entire castle was burned by extremely terrible Emperor flames. It was not originally black. Rather, it became black after being burnt," Ye Qingyu said in an extremely confident tone. It was only natural that someone of his ability would be able to tell from one look.

Evidently, a tragic battle had happened within and beyond the black ancient castle. It was a battle between Emperors.

Ye Qingyu's divination allowed him to sense many familiar auras.

He roughly knew what sort of battle happened here, and he even knew who the combatants were.

Liu Shaji reached his hand out to push the huge gates of the ancient castle, but they would not budge an inch. He channeled his Great Saint qi, but still, they would not move.

Ye Qingyu swept his gaze over them, and the gates opened.

After all three of them entered the gates and walked past the castle walls, a black, windy main service entrance stood before them. There were no plants of any sort in the city, and there were even no live animals. It was completely black, and the oppressive and strange color made them feel gloomy. The streets were not wide, but unique. The entire ancient castle gave them the feeling that it was built from the mountains. The pathways were mostly winding, and they climbed the stairs to ascend increasingly greater heights.

Ye Qingyu swept his gaze across the surroundings again, giving him a detailed view of everything within the entire castle.

Every kind of aura within the castle walls became clearer to him. It further advanced Ye Qingyu's previous deduction.

Liu Shaji and Little Ten's abilities were so far behind that of Ye Qingyu, and they did not manage to discover many leads.

Ye Qingyu led them along a winding black stone path. It kept going upward toward the most central and highest sword-like tower of the castle. He had already discovered some signs that were worth noticing, and if Nan Tieyi and Hu Bugui were really within the ancient city, they could only be inside this tower.

On the way up, they saw various signs of battle.

There were signs of underworld fire everywhere. Previously, after the battle here had concluded, a blazing fire had once burned over a long period of time, turning the entire city black. Even so, the fact that the castle still survived was proof of its exceptional quality.

"The material used to construct this ancient castle is the same as that of the Emperor-weapon level tile," Liu Shaji eventually concluded after observing along the way up.

He was greatly shocked.

Ye Qingyu smiled before replying, "Yes, the tile in Brother Hu's hand should be from the tower of this ancient castle. The castle itself is an impressive Emperor weapon... Legend has it that the twenty-four Cities of Chaos were built by Supreme Emperors, and this castle is no exception. Its power is even greater than that of Heaven Connect City and the others. The person that constructed them must have been an incredibly powerful Martial Emperor who most likely was on the way to achieving a breakthrough."

It was completely silent along their journey.

No living beings emerged from the ancient castle.

"Are brothers Hu Bugui and Nan Tieyi here or not?" Liu Shaji was becoming anxious; this was his last hope of finding both of them.

As they spoke, all three arrived before the entrance of the tallest sword tower.

It was slightly different from the other places they had walked past.

"If I didn't guess wrong, they should be within." Ye Qingyu smiled gently as he reached both arms out. He channeled his Eternal qi and imprinted it onto the gates.

The gates to the sword tower opened with a flourish.
