Chapter 500 Ghost City
Wind Domain, not far from the entrance of the Ice Domain, Xiao, who was caught up by Zhao Letian, undoubtedly became a corpse, buried beneath the sand and wind.
All of his possessions were naturally taken by Zhao Letian.
After that, Zhao Letian continued to delve deeper into the Wind Domain with an expressionless face, his heart undisturbed by the slaying of Xiao.
Although Xiao was undeniably a rare talent, Zhao Letian's enemies were none of them ordinary, and he was very aware that in the coming time, he would need to kill many more geniuses whose talents were not inferior to Xiao's.
Or rather, Xiao was just the first appetizer he encountered since entering the Imperial Secret Realm. More killings lay ahead for him.
Those enemies wanted him dead here, and he, in turn, wished to eliminate all his enemies in this place.
Of course, the pressing matter at hand was still to prioritize the mission.
His mastery of wind force had reached an exquisite level, which allowed him to search for mission items in the Wind Domain with peace of mind.
At the same time, after killing Xiao, Zhao Letian once again released the Wind Roar Beast.
This Wind Domain was a perfect place for the Wind Roar Beast to cultivate, so he planned to stay here for a while longer, waiting until the beast had grown stronger before venturing into other domains.
...
Time quietly passed.
Without realization, it was already the tenth day after the opening of the Imperial Secret Realm.
During this period, Zhao Letian stayed within the Wind Domain, not only finding many mission items but also breaking through to the grand completion of the True Martial Ninth Realm.
Moreover, his Micro Wind Force had also improved significantly.
Compared to him, the progress of the Wind Roar Beast was even more astonishing.
In just a few days, the Wind Roar Beast had raised its cultivation to the True Martial Seventh Realm and its understanding of the Martial Arts Realm had even reached the Nine-layered Wind Force.
"The mission items are almost complete; it's time to leave this place."
Zhao Letian stood on a bare hill, looking toward the direction of the Fire Domain with a glint of anticipation in his eyes, he thought to himself.
Besides the mastery of wind force, his fire force and thunder force had already reached the pinnacle of the ninth layer, just one step away from breaking through to the Micro Realm.
Therefore, both the Fire Domain and Thunder Domain were places he needed to visit.
"Roar!"
The Wind Roar Beast by his side, sensing Zhao Letian's intent, couldn't help but let out an excited roar.
During this time, it had improved enough, and this place was becoming less and less beneficial for its cultivation.
In other words, there was not much reason to stay here any longer; it too was eager to follow Zhao Letian and explore other places.
Subsequently, the man and the beast set off in the direction of the Fire Domain.
After they left, the hill was left with only broken corpses, belonging to a group of wind-attributed demon beasts they had recently slain.
...
The space within the Imperial Secret Realm was vast, and even with Zhao Letian's astonishing speed, it took three full days to reach the edge of the Wind Domain.
"What is that? A city!"
While on the move, Zhao Letian suddenly discovered a majestic city amongst the expansive yellow sand ahead.
The information provided by the Sky Dome Dynasty did not include records of this city.
Meaning, this city might be appearing for the first time, and it may hide tremendous opportunities within.
"Swoosh!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Letian and the Wind Roar Beast turned into an astonishingly fast streak of light, rushing forward quickly.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! ..."
However, before he could get close to the city, Zhao Letian was surprised to find that more than a dozen Martial Artists, like him, had discovered the city and had rushed in ahead of him.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Letian's brow furrowed. He put away the Wind Roar Beast immediately, and then the Wind Thunder Wings appeared on his back. He activated the Micro Wind Force and used the Body Technique "Carefree Travel," suddenly doubling his speed and heading straight for the city gates.
Since mastering the Micro Wind Force, Zhao Letian's Body Technique "Carefree Travel" had finally reached a rudimentary level of mastery.
Even though it was only rudimentary, his speed far surpassed that of his peers.
It wasn't long before Zhao Letian arrived at the city gates.
"Divine Wind City!"
Looking up, Zhao Letian saw three powerful and vigorous characters above the city gate, subtly exuding an astonishing Martial Arts Realm.
However, Zhao Letian was not in the mood to comprehend the intent within the characters, his figure flickered and he directly dashed into the city.
There were many people who had rushed in before him. If he didn't hurry, he'd likely miss out on even a drop of soup.
"What a bizarre city, with not a single person to be found, completely devoid of any signs of life. It's like a Ghost City, and moreover, these dilapidated buildings still bear the marks of a fierce battle."
Flying over the city, Zhao Letian looked down at the scene below, his brows slightly wrinkled as he thought to himself.
This city had been abandoned for who knows how long, with hardly a single intact building. Every wall bore the traces of swords and the terrifying claw marks of unidentified demon beasts.
Clearly, a long time ago, this city had experienced a fierce battle that led to its destruction.
"That's not right, how come not a single skeleton can be seen in such a large city?"
After flying for a while, Zhao Letian suddenly stopped, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment.
If this place had experienced a battle, how could there be no skeletons left behind?
Could someone have cleaned up the battlefield?
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ..."
Just as Zhao Letian was puzzled, a series of intense battle sounds suddenly came from ahead.
"It's from the center of the city, the direction of the City Lord Mansion!"
Zhao Letian followed the sounds and his eyes flashed sharply, promptly rushing towards it.
Since people had already started fighting, it meant that treasures had likely been discovered ahead.
"So many people?"
Moments later, Zhao Letian arrived above the City Lord Mansion, spreading his Divine Thought Power. He discovered that there were over twenty True Martial Realm geniuses from various nations below, inside the palace.
Moreover, many were fighting in the palaces below, scrambling for the treasures inside.
"The treasures here must be extraordinary to make all these True Martial Realm geniuses fight so fiercely!" Zhao Letian thought, then directly found a less crowded palace and rushed in.
"A mere oil lamp? No, this is a Calming God Lamp, able to suppress inner demons and increase the chances of a Martial Artist's breakthrough, its value is comparable to a High Grade Spiritual Artifact!"
Upon entering, Zhao Letian was surprised to see two True Martial Realm geniuses struggling over an oil lamp. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the seemingly scrap-metal-like lamp was, in fact, a famous Ancient Treasure. His eyes immediately lit up with ardor.
