Dominating Martial King

All the Eternal Gods in the vicinity who entered the Demon Realm Battlefront with their true bodies had beforehand absorbed a certain amount of baleful sin-aura into themselves; even he, Ghost Star, was no exception.

Only in this way could they make War God Li Tan harbor scruples.

However, Ghost Star knew that the Vermilion Bird Star Lord suspected whether this method could truly restrain Li Tan.

The firmness of War God Li Tan’s will was by no means inferior to Burial Sky; his upper limit was exceedingly high.

"Then go."

The Vermilion Bird Star Lord’s face was expressionless: "I know that if you don’t fight for it, you’ll be unwilling. In any case, be extremely careful!"

She truly did not wish for this capable subordinate of hers to fall here.

The Battle Wind Realm and the War Tribulation Realm were separated by three levels of world; it took Chu Xisheng and the others an hour to cross layer after layer of Time-Space Crystal Walls before arriving at this Small Thousand World.

The environment here was actually far more favorable than that of other Small Thousand Worlds.

Chu Xisheng gazed into the distance and discovered that in the far reaches there were even three floating continents, each over five thousand li in length and breadth, as well as twenty-seven smaller floating islands, each still on the scale of a thousand li.

Suspended above each of these floating continents was a gigantic gem, radiating silvery-blue brilliance and illuminating the vast lands below.

On these lands grew dense patches of strange plants. Their trunks and branches were all twisted and crooked, bearing only a few sparse leaves, looking half-dead.

Curiously enough, although this Small Thousand World clearly had a superior environment, there were hardly any Demons here; instead, there was an abundance of Yin Spirits.

Chu Xisheng was astonished: "I didn’t expect the Demon Realm Battlefront to have such a place."

"The Battle Wind Realm was originally the earliest territory of the Yin Queen, and also the first paradise of the Human Clan’s Yin Spirits. In the past, when the Yin Queen was weak, she had no choice but to seek shelter under the three War Gods in order to survive within the Battle Realm. Only after the Yin Queen subdued the Hundred Demons and truly rose to power did she move out beyond the Demon Realm Battlefront and establish the Yin Dynasty on the outer rim of the Battle Realm.

From then on, the Yin Souls of the Human Clan also had a destination. When Mortal World sorcerers encountered Yin Spirits, they no longer indiscriminately purified them regardless of right or wrong, but would, as circumstances allowed, send some Yin Spirits who had not committed evil into the Yin Dynasty."

Si Wufa explained as he let his gaze roam about: "Those are Yin Yuan Fruit Trees, discovered by the Yin Queen and brought in from outside the Demon Domain to be planted here; they count as food for the Yin Spirits. The oil pressed from Yin Yuan Fruits can help them stabilize their soul bodies.

After the Yin Queen fell, Shen Tu and Yu Lei led a portion of the Yin Dynasty’s core followers to retreat into this Battle Wind Realm. I did not expect them to have such ability in developing this place."

The problem was: what exactly did Shen Tu and Yu Lei intend by bringing them into the Battle Wind Realm? Although a great many Yin Spirits lived here, they were of no assistance at all in Divine-level Combat.

Having lost their fleshly bodies, Yin Spirits possessed no Emperor’s Secret Technique or Blood Coagulation and Vein Gathering.

At this moment, within the Battle Wind Realm, more and more Yin Spirits had already noticed the arrival of their group.

These strangely shaped Yin Spirits first stared fixedly at the Yin Vein Wings behind Si Huangquan, then all silently prostrated their bodies toward Si Huangquan, bowing down to the ground.

Si Huangquan’s gaze, however, was drawn to the southern end of the central continent in the distance, to a gigantic palace platform, piled up from huge boulders, about seven thousand zhang high, overall in the shape of a Pyramid.

The reason it was called a palace platform was because atop this Pyramid-shaped Stone Platform there also stood a magnificent complex of palaces.

Chu Xisheng likewise raised his brows, revealing a trace of unusual expression.

He had already cultivated the Cosmic Heaven Technique to an extremely high level.

He was thus able to discern that this palace platform had existed for an incomparably long Time, very likely possessing a history of tens of millions of years.

This should be a Creation from the era of the Human Clan’s Emperor.

It was said that in that era the palaces of the Human Clan were all built upon this type of Pyramid-shaped high platform. The height of the palace platform represented the status of the palace’s master.

It was said that the closer the palace platform was to the heavens, the higher the status.

And the palace platform before Chu Xisheng’s eyes was seven thousand zhang tall; even in the Ancient Heavenly Emperor era, such height was extremely rare.

Moreover, the entire palace platform was radiating splendid Golden Light, clearly visible even from ten thousand li away.

From this, one could see that tens of millions of years ago, its master’s status in the Heavenly Court had been exceedingly exalted.

However, the reason Chu Xisheng was astonished was that within this palace platform, he sensed a power similar to Si Huangquan’s Yin Vein Wings.

"This is—"

Si Wufa also noticed this grandly scaled structure. His expression was doubtful: "Could this perhaps be the former palace of Her Majesty the Queen Yin in the Battle Wind Realm?"

The problem was that he did not possess the relevant information; he had never heard of such a gigantic Stone Palace platform existing in this Battle Wind Realm.

Nor was it recorded in the notes left behind by Yin Hou Tian Nai Luo.

"No." Lu Luanti shook her head. "This should not be something native to the Battle Wind Realm; it ought to have been moved here from some other place in recent times."

She surveyed the land surrounding the gigantic Stone Palace platform.

In theory, a large-scale Array would, as a matter of course, transform the surrounding environment, causing it to be permeated by Primordial Power and display all sorts of divine and strange changes.

—This is the origin of many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the world.

Yet the gigantic Stone Palace platform before their eyes was not merely a high-platform palace; it also contained a vast, rough yet Mysterious Ancient Divine Array.

However, the soil around the palace platform was all dark, sandy earth, imbued with a thin taint of evil sinful turbid qi, a very ordinary type of Demon Realm Evil Soil.

Just as Lu Luanti was Concentrating and observing, two figures successively strode through the air and arrived.

One of them wore a suit of variegated War Armor, with eyes that reached almost to his ears, brows slanting toward the heavens, his features strange, his bearing martial, powerful, and dignified. The other was short and stocky, with black, coiling whiskers, bristling brows and hair; a loose black Iron Armor hung off his body, his demeanor rough and unrestrained.
