Chapter 375: Chapter 333 Black Sky City (4th Update)

Black Sky Plain spanned tens to hundreds of millions of miles, even dwarfing many kingdoms in its colossal size.

The land here was barren year-round, not a blade of grass to be seen, engulfed in the climate of the Great Desert with scant rainfall. If not for the thriving trade business still fraught with the appearances of bandits, which added vitality to this wasteland, it would be bleak.

But it wasn’t entirely so. The closer one got to the Central Region, the more it changed, as oases began to emerge one after another, like pearls adorning the earth.

Moreover, the green representing life became more prolific closer to the Central Region, an area spanning only tens of thousands of miles. The most central part spanned tens of thousands of miles and was a massive oasis, covered in forests and interlaced with lakes and rivers, exuding vibrancy.

This was the main stronghold of the Black Sky Eight Bandits, with at least three of the Eight Great Bandits based here year-round. It was said that this vast oasis was miraculously evolved by them with astounding methods.

Naturally, this central area also housed over half of the bandits in Black Sky Plain.

It is worth mentioning that the central oasis was not only inhabited by bandits but also by many common folk and was frequented by merchants from various kingdoms, making it a bustling and flourishing trade route.

Furthermore, while bandits were almost everywhere in the central oasis, no one dared to cause trouble here. The irony lay in the fact that there was an order that everyone here adhered to, creating a peaceful land—a sanctuary in the Black Sky Plain decided upon by the Black Sky Eight Bandits.

Of course, the primary landmark was Black Sky City at the core, an immense and magnificent giant city, sprawling over thousands of miles, far more prosperous than the royal capitals of many large countries.

From the Western Regions of Black Sky Plain, Ye Chen and Chenn Ruo had been rushing towards the central oasis zone. Thanks to Ye Chen mastering the Reverse Space Eight Steps - an unmatched speed in the world - and Chenn Ruo’s proficiency in the Void Dao, the two traveled nonstop. Even with the Seventeenth Elder in pursuit, he could not truly catch up. Instead, under their lead, they gradually neared the core of the oasis zone.

After a relentless half day of flight, they had crossed nearly half of the Black Sky Plain and were now approaching the core area. High in the sky, they could see from afar over the barren horizon, the emergence of a thriving green - the heart of Black Sky Plain.

Once they covered another hundred miles, they would truly enter this safe zone.

Within the core area were several of the Great Bandits from the Black Sky Eight Bandits, figures comparable to those of Saint Lord level; they didn’t believe the Seventeenth Elder would dare to pursue and launch an all-out attack in the core area.

The Seventeenth Elder, who had been in hot pursuit, seemingly understood their intentions and couldn’t help but darken his expression. He drove his Divine Ship even more fervently in their chase.

If the two of them did manage to enter the core area, even he would have to be cautious.

The Black Sky Eight Bandits were too powerful, including Saint Lord level characters, comparable to the level of their Red God Valley Master. Although he, as a Semi-Saint, was also considered a top-class fighter, he was insignificant compared to those of the Saint Lord level.

Those beings were the ones who openly governed the ups and downs of the world today, their Cultivation outstanding - how could he compete?

"We absolutely cannot let them enter the core area smoothly; otherwise, there will be no way to pursue and kill them," the Seventeenth Elder thought, his aura brimming with killing intent. He let out a long howl and used some powerful Magic Technique, which drastically increased his speed, unexpectedly closing nearly half the distance between them.

This caused Ye Chen’s expression to change dramatically. He grabbed Chenn Ruo’s delicate hand, and his feet traced out eight steps, with sheets of golden patterns weaving into existence, forming a golden Dao, pointing into the distance.

Whoosh—

The two streaked across the sky, crystallizing into a dazzling golden meteor that cut through the Changkong, racing toward the core area like chasing stars and moons.

"Don’t even think about escaping!"

The Seventeenth Elder struck with a palm, his terrifying palm strength carrying an endless force of heaven and earth that surged forward, dust flying skyward, the ground trembling as it struck, levelling everything within a hundred miles.

"This old bastard dares act in this place, isn’t he afraid of alarming the Black Sky Eight Bandits in the core area?" Ye Chen cursed inwardly, as the palm strength was so powerful, he couldn’t possibly withstand it.

The vast difference in their realms was too great, one was a Semi-Saint and the other at the Demigod Peak, far more than just a difference of a single Great Realm.

Whoosh—

At that moment, Chenn Ruo grabbed Ye Chen’s hand, merged with the void, and once again performed the Void transfer. With a whoosh, they sidestepped over a hundred miles, entering deep into the core area.

The palm strength from behind them hit the ground, flattening the wilderness outside the core area, disintegrating everything into ash, leaving nothing intact.

Ye Chen finally exhaled in relief but also furrowed his brows. This Void transfer wasn’t always successful and could only be performed about once every hour.

Fortunately, both had completely entered into the core area. In this territory, he couldn’t believe the Seventeenth Elder would dare to blatantly pursue and kill them, unless he truly was unafraid of offending the Black Sky Eight Bandits.

However, they had miscalculated. The Divine Ship from Red God Valley also charged in, with the Seventeenth Elder still at the helm entering the core area, bringing with him the overwhelming pressure of a Semi-Saint. The mountains and ravines trembled, startling many in the area. The pressure was too strong and frightening, making their hearts quiver.

Could it be that a terrifying powerhouse among the Black Sky Eight Bandits was on the move?

"Has this old bastard gone mad? He really isn’t afraid of death."

Even Ye Chen turned pale as the Seventeenth Elder behind him wore a dark and heavy expression, nearly dripping with water, and said, "You have killed a king of my tribe, I have no face to return to the Valley Master and the others. If I can kill you, even if I have to lay down my old life here, it would be worth it."

He kept attacking relentlessly, heedless that this was the core territory of Black Sky Plain with the Black Sky Eight Bandits’ stronghold. He struck without restraint, shattering swathes of mountains and rivers to nothingness.

This was the might of a Semi-Saint, whose fury could shatter mountains and rivers, and crack the land for hundreds of miles.

Ye Chen and Chenn Ruo dashed desperately towards the innermost part of the giant city of Black Sky, the very heart of Black Sky Plain’s Ancient City. They couldn’t believe there wasn’t even one of the Black Sky Eight Bandits present. As long as they alarmed one of them to make a move, this Seventeenth Elder, however powerful, would be suppressed.

"Thinking of fleeing to the innermost Black Sky City? You’ll have to have that chance," said the Seventeenth Elder coldly, undaunted by the possibility of their escape. He steered the Divine Ship lightning-fast, halving the distance and soon able to strike.

In the end, Ye Chen and Chenn Ruo broke into the Black Sky City, and a powerhouse was alarmed within. Soaring into the sky, they shouted toward the Seventeenth Elder: "Who goes there? Stop immediately! How dare you intrude upon Black Sky City?"

Splat—

A cloud of Blood Mist burst forth!

The Seventeenth Elder made his move, slaying the powerhouse!
