Chapter 218: The Lost Divine City
The man who shouted loudly is named Xuefeng, the sole son of the Ten Great Demon King Xue Te.
According to the agreement among the ten Demon Kings, after seizing the Fallen Demon Cave, each of the Ten Great Demon Kings dispatches one child and three subordinates to explore and search for treasure inside.
Regarding the subordinates' cultivation, they agreed that it must not exceed the Demon Lord realm.
Zhang Xingyu could not understand why Te Fu brought the three of them instead of her own trusted followers.
Nevertheless, that doesn't matter.
He was also very eager for this kind of treasure‑hunting expedition.
Ahead of the group stood a black stone gate.
Behind the gate lay the legendary site where the Terra Demon God fell.
"Everyone, since the personnel are all present, let's get started at once!"
After Te Fu finished speaking, she took a magic bow and a pot of magic arrows from her magic ring.
She drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and shot.
The magic arrow struck the stone gate, causing it to flash a golden light that gently bounced the arrow back.
Seeing Te Fu act, the other princes and princesses also drew their magic weapons to attack.
For a moment, the stone gate rang with clanging sounds nonstop.
With each attack, the golden light on the gate dimmed a little.
Zhang Xingyu glanced at the strength of their attacks and made a preliminary estimate of their cultivation.
These ten demon princes and princesses, though they appeared very young, actually possessed considerable cultivation.
Each of them had reached the early Demon General stage.
Each of their equipment was top‑grade magic gear.
Grandma's bear would probably not find it easy to take food from them!
Zhang Xingyu silently plotted in his mind.
After a quarter of an hour, the princes and princesses were already panting heavily from fatigue.
Te Fu halted her actions and shouted loudly at Zhang Xingyu and the others, "You servants, why are you standing still? Move and attack at once!"
With Zhang Xingyu and the others joining, the attack power increased considerably.
An hour later, the golden light on the gate had become barely perceptible.
"Now! Attack together!"
Te Fu shouted loudly.
"Three, two, one"
The moment her words ended, the stone gate shattered in response.
Behind the gate, the golden light was dazzling.
Besides the golden light, there was still golden light.
The group could not see what lay inside.
"You, go in!"
Te Fu pointed her finger at Zhu Dafu.
Zhu Dafu's legs trembled, and he could not move his feet for a long time.
"Princess, perhaps let me go!" Zhang Xingyu said to Te Fu.
Te Fu glared at Zhu Dafu, then nodded.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Xingyu walked step by step toward the doorway.
At the doorway, he took a deep breath, turned, waved at Zhu Dafu, and then strode through.
One step, one world.
Above his head was a golden sun, beneath his feet lay fine, soft golden sand, and ahead stretched rolling dunes.
It was essentially a golden desert.
The golden sunlight bathed him, making his whole body feel warm.
The air was filled with Divine Essence, making his spirit feel very comfortable.
Within the Divine Court, above the Divine Sea.
Golden specks of light fell like yellow sand.
A golden dwarf shouted, "Heaven, the Divine Essence is so dense—could it be that we've entered the Divine Realm?"
Zhang Xingyu cautiously explored forward.
Crack.
A soft sound.
Zhang Xingyu lifted his foot.
A snow‑white leg bone buried in the sand was broken into two pieces by his foot.
Zhang Xingyu squatted down to examine carefully, but found no other foreign objects.
He lifted his leg and continued forward.
Soon, the white bones in the dunes grew increasingly numerous.
Beside the bones lay many shattered fragments of magical artifacts.
Because of the great age, the Spiritual Aura in the artifact fragments had long since dissipated.
Just as Zhang Xingyu picked up a fragment, it silently shattered.
Zhang Xingyu walked while inspecting.
This seemed to be an ancient battlefield where countless cultivators had perished.
After walking forward more than ten li, he crossed a tall sand ridge, and a huge golden mountain appeared before his eyes.
On the golden mountain, temple after temple glittered.
Divine city! It's probably a lost divine city!
Zhang Xingyu was about to fly on his sword toward the golden mountain when a loud shout suddenly came from afar.
"Hey, divine city, I'm here!"
Someone!
Zhang Xingyu quickly activated his divine ability "Thousand Mile Eye".
Through the vast golden light, a group of cultivators appeared in his vision.
This group of cultivators was shouting as they advanced toward the golden mountain.
What the hell?
Isn't this the Demon Abyss? Isn't this place supposed to be surrounded by the demon race?
He thought for a moment.
Zhang Xingyu hid himself in the sand dune.
Treasure hunting, safety first.
Just as his body had slipped into the sand dune, a hurried footsteps sounded behind him.
Demoness Tefu and the other demon princes and princesses were leading their minions rushing toward the golden mountain.
The two forces unexpectedly met before the golden mountain.
After a brief surprise, both sides immediately clashed.
Demoness Tefu fiercely waved her staff, venting the anger in her heart.
Today is really unlucky.
After great difficulty I found the fallen place of the Tela Demon God, only to run into some human cultivators who came out of nowhere.
If the Tela Demon God's inheritance crystal is taken by those human cultivators, then my family's millennia-long scheme will come to naught.
Damn humans, and that damnly powerful magic.
If he hadn't delayed sending word, I wouldn't have been waiting outside the cave for half a day.
If I hadn't been waiting outside the cave for half a day, I might have already found the Tela Demon God's inheritance crystal.
Demoness Tefu gritted her teeth in fury, her magic output already at maximum.
Opposite, a handsome male cultivator struggled to block Tefu's magic.
Beside him stood a beautiful girl with large eyes.
They fought for a while, each sustaining injuries, yet neither could gain the upper hand.
Tefu deflected Yun Feiyang's incoming flying sword, then retreated several steps.
"Stop, everyone stop!" Tefu shouted loudly.
The handsome male ceased his attack.
He curled the corner of his mouth and lightly laughed: "What? Princess Tefu, can't hold on?"
Tefu coldly snorted: "Yuan Wushang, the divine mountain lies ahead; the treasure is on the mountain. Rather than fight here, let's wait until we find the treasure before deciding the victor."
The handsome male pondered, then nodded: "All right! Let's decide life and death after we find the treasure."
Under their persuasion, both sides ceased fighting.
"Go!"
An impatient demon prince summoned a demonic cloud and flew toward the golden mountain.
Having flown less than ten meters, his body split into two halves.
In the sky, a faint light flickered once and then vanished again.
"A seal! There's actually a seal set up in this void!"
Tefu exclaimed in surprise, stopping her magic carpet beneath her feet.
After thinking, she took out a staff and poured magic into it.
A sheet of crimson light shot toward the sky.
Soon, golden lines lit up in the sky.
"Indeed there is a seal! It looks like the entire sky is covered with it!"
After thinking, she turned to Yuan Wushang and shouted: "Yuan Wushang, the void is filled with seals; let's combine forces to break it!"
