Chapter 501: Chapter 487: Trade Conference, Sacred Fire Shrine!_1

The Border Wasteland City.

Located in the center of the Border Wasteland Region, is an ancient city that is a legend on the entire Border Wilderness. It was built at the time of the establishment of the Purple Gold King Tribe, and even though the Purple Gold King Tribe was now extinct, the ancient city still remained.

Without the pursuit of the Silver Lightning Roc, Xiao Chen’s movements become more relaxed. Taking a deep breath, he looked at the ancient city that spanned the horizon, his gaze complex and indecipherable.

Once, the Border Wasteland City and the Dragon Fall Ancient City were the two most famous holy cities of the human civilization in the entire Border Wasteland Region. Now they were eroded by time, the Dragon Fall Ancient City was extinguished tens of thousands of years ago, and the ruins of the ancient city became the territory of the ancient Battle Division.

Yet, the Border Wasteland City still dominates over this vast wilderness, suppressing the luck of the Human Race. The branches of the Human Ancestral Court are in this city. Among the 89 middle grade human Battle Divisions, 9 high grade Battle Divisions, and a Marquis division in the Border Wasteland Region, all hold Border Wasteland City in high regard!

As the clouds and mist dispersed, the heavenly horse landed on the ground, shrinking into a size of half a foot. Seemingly aware of the attention it would attract from many warriors, the heavenly horse’s golden light was dazzling. When the light faded, its light gold mane fluttered in the wind. It appeared ordinary, like a horse-type beast one could encounter deep in the Desolate Ancient Forest. But the three golden stars in its forehead signified its strength.

The Border Wasteland City, though Xiao Chen had already seen its outline, was still hundreds of miles away from the ancient city.

A stretch of wilderness, the sky and the earth were desolate and quiet. There were no mountains, only endless broken stones and wild grass growing wildly. Even though Xiao Chen wasn’t walking fast, within a snap of his fingers, he had crossed several miles of land.

The closer he got to the ancient city, the more people Xiao Chen saw. Each burly man boasted significant strength. Mounting exotic beasts, some of which Xiao Chen couldn’t even identify. But their overwhelming Blood Qi permeated the air.

So Xiao Chen continued to move forward with the small heavenly horse. Even though the Human Race’s strength was weak in the Border Wasteland Region, this was the center of it. Even though strong ones were rare, their presence shouldn’t be considered strange.

About the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks because he felt the air around him growing stagnant. The wilderness fell silent instantly, and under Xiao Chen’s feet, he could clearly sense vibrations every few moments. Gradually, the ground began to tremble.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Finally, this mild vibration turned into a rolling thunderous sound, like the beating of heavenly drums. A wave of Blood Qi as vast as a sea, and as hot as the fierce sun, shrouded several miles of the earth.

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, in front of him stood a gigantic elephant, as large as a mountain, with a size of seventy feet. Its thick legs were like pillars of heaven, two white, curved tusks as clear as Luli were piercing the Vault of Heaven. Its formidable trunk was covered with black scales and full of wildness, its pale golden eyes emitted an indomitable spirit.

Black Armor Savage Elephant!

This was a Black Armor Savage Elephant. Every step it took caused severe vibrations within several miles of the earth, as if the entire Earth veins were trembling, its dense Blood Qi was not concealed at all.

On top of the ferocious-looking tusks of the three-starred Black Armor Savage Elephant stood a tall and straight figure. This middle-aged man emanated a profound and boundless momentum, making it seem as though he controlled the earth.

Perhaps having noticed Xiao Chen’s gaze, the man in the grey robe’s eyes moved slightly. He glanced at Xiao Chen and the little heavenly horse beside him, gave a cold smile, stepped onto the Black Armor Savage Elephant and sprinted away. In the blink of an eye, he had already covered ten of miles and disappeared from Xiao Chen’s sight.

Was he at the fourth, fifth, or even the sixth Heaven of the Towering Realm?

Xiao Chen couldn’t gauge the middle-aged man’s strength. Taming and controlling such formidable beasts required phenomenal strength. Without it, it would be impossible to subdue them. He was definitely a massively strong being.

In the following quarter of an hour, Xiao Chen saw several powerful three-starred beasts, roaring past. Their imperious momentum swept across the void and the earth; each one was controlled by powerful warriors. Not to mention the other warriors whose abilities fell below the Towering Realm.

Every one of these people was headed for the Border Wasteland City. Finally, Xiao Chen arrived before the ancient city. The ancient city, standing a hundred feet high, its dark city walls carried the marks of time. Endless damage from swords and axes, several cracks several feet wide, showing to everyone the kind of wars this ancient city had endured.

Gently patting the heavenly horse’s head, Xiao Chen followed the crowds into the city. The Border Wasteland City was an ancient city left behind from a hundred thousand years ago. Over countless years, in addition to the original residents of the ancient city, there were warriors from various Battle Divisions, and even other regions. Countless wanderers exchanged items in this city.

At this moment, Xiao Chen finally understood why he was regarded as a local. This was a difference in experience and knowledge. Even though he had now become a Towering Realm warrior, and the Ancient Yuan had been promoted to an intermediate Battle Division, but within this ancient city, he still felt an overwhelming grandeur.

Only at this moment, did Xiao Chen feel an aura, a grand aura belonging to the Human Race. This was the heritage accumulated in the reproduction of the Human Race’s Wilderness.

Almost none of the warriors around him were below the Blood Refining Realm. Although Blood Qi of the warriors in the Towering Realm was very concealed, Xiao Chen could still feel their vast Blood Qi.

The Human Ancestral Court is located in the very center of the Border Wasteland City. Following the surging crowd, Xiao Chen picked up some chatter and learned why so many warriors had gathered in Border Wasteland Ancient City.

"The Trade Festival that takes place once every hundred years really attracts a lot of strong ones, even some powerful rangers hidden in the depths of the Desolate Mountain Forest have been summoned out!"

"All are Massive Tower Realm Wu Experts who have stepped into the Towering Realm. Didn’t you see the savage beast master, the Black Armor Savage Elephant, walking on earth, tearing down mountains and splitting cliffs!"

"The Blood Fox Master of the Bai Ze Marquis Division arrived in the city yesterday. It’s said that his mount, the Blood Fox, carries the bloodline of the ancient nine-tailed fox. Now it has reached the peak of the three-star realm, and three years ago, the Blood Fox Master and his fox teamed up to slay a Ghost Marshal in the peak of the fifth Heaven of the Tower realm!"

"You didn’t see it, all of them are incredibly powerful beings in the Tower realm, each of them is at least above the third Heaven of the Towering realm. Their mounts alone, which are beasts in the three-star realm, exude such a strong blood qi that almost melted me!"

"What a pity, we are too weak, really want to go experience the Trade Festival!"

Some rangers in the Blood Refining Realm beside Xiao Chen said with envy, but there was nothing they could do. They were like ants compared to the trade meeting between those in the Towering realm. Even if they had treasures that could hearten the Great Tower Realm Martial Artists, they still would not have the rights to trade on an equal basis, mostly they would just end up dead before their time!

The Trade Festival!

A realization hit Xiao Chen. He understood why all these warriors had gathered in the Border Wasteland City. It turned out to be a trading convention among the powerful ones in the Towering Realm. However, this made sense. The only place capable of hosting a peaceful trade fair in the entire Border Wilderness Region is the Border Wasteland City.

As fascinated as Xiao Chen was about this trade fair, he knew it wouldn’t happen for another few days, so he wasn’t in a rush. His first priority was to head for the Ancestral Court to get a clan record for his tribe, the Ancient Yuan Battle Division.

At the center of Border Wasteland City stands the Sacred Fire Tower, a stone tower that covers an area of a hundred square miles and stands a thousand feet tall. Each of the ten floors of the tower is a hundred feet high. The ancient stone tower is embossed with dragon and phoenix runes and images of other ancient exotic beasts like the Black Tortoise, the Snake, and the Kylin, all of which were the most powerful beings in the ancient myths and legends.

It’s said that the Sacred Fire Tower used to be ten thousand feet tall, a place where the human race launched a counterattack upon the exotic tribes and lit the sacred fire. Later on, when an exotic beast king reached this place, the stone tower was broken to pieces, with only this thousand-foot fragment left. This is where the human race built a city ten thousand years, in memory of their forefathers.

Tens of thousands of years ago, with the fall of the Purple Gold King Tribe, the entire Border Wasteland became the hunting ground of the exotic tribes. The surviving human race lit the sacred fire at the top of this ruined tower, rallied human race warriors, and expelled the alien races from the Human World.

In front of the Sacred Fire Tower, on a giant stone platform, stands a huge Clan Stele made of bronze. It is a hundred feet tall and made of one solid piece of nine-sun divine bronze, a supreme divine metal that is said to be capable of forging king weapons and is among the top hundred in the Great Wasteland Ten Thousand Spirits List.

King weapons are the weapons that only a supreme king can wield. The nine-sun divine bronze is a supreme divine metal capable of carrying the Dao fruits of a king and withstanding the impact of a king’s power. Normally, a small piece of this divine metal would be enough for a battle division to take it as a clan’s heritage. Only the human race’s Ancestral Court could afford to take this hundred-foot divine metal out to forge the Clan Stele.

Packed with human race moving around, every warrior looking at this ancient tower showed a reverential look in their eyes. Below the Sacred Fire Tower, two figures stood, their armor shining and their war spears filled with killing intent. Just standing there, they gave off a strong aura of iron and blood.

Xiao Chen walked out of the crowd with Xiao Tianma, calmly looking at the stele made of divine metal, which was valuable enough to make even the supreme kings go crazy. On this stele, shimmering with a purple and gold color and engraved with very old characters.

Although Xiao Chen didn’t recognize the characters, he understood their meaning at first glance. The first listed on the divine metal Clan Stele was the Bai Ze Marquis Division, the purple Qi was the most vigorous, with a faint golden radiance.

Below the Bai Ze Marquis Division, there were nine high-grade battle divisions listed in order. Underneath were the eighty-nine medium-grade battle divisions of the Border Wasteland Region. The low-grade battle divisions did not qualify to be engraved with clan records.

Among the inscriptions of the eighty-nine medium-grade battle divisions, Xiao Chen saw the Iron Hoof Battle Division, which ranked sixty-third among the eighty-nine medium-grade battle divisions. It seemed that the engraving on this Clan Stele had something to do with the strength of the battle divisions.

Finally, someone noticed Xiao Chen’s unusual status. After all, it was just him and the yellow-maned horse that seemed to be nothing more than an ordinary exotic beast standing in front of the stone platform.

However, many just smiled and looked away. It was not common to see someone like Xiao Chen, but there were always a few individuals who would get lost in the moment every now and then. This one appeared to be another native from a remote place who had been stunned by the spectacle before him!

Roar!

But the next moment, a stream of purple gas formed a column above Xiao Chen’s head. It transformed into a dancing spirit snake, roaring toward the Vault of Heaven. The sound reverberated through the vault, spreading throughout the ancient city.

Ps, there’s some lag and it’s still hot out there. It took me almost five hours to slowly code this, I’m asking for any subscriptions, month tickets!
