"Ah..." Xun Ye screamed and fell face down on the desert. The sand and stones left bloody marks on his face, and then he rolled over weakly.
Everyone was stunned. Before they could see clearly, Xun Ye's figure disappeared in the wind and sand because the sand centipede was too fast.
"well… "
Sighs kept coming from the back of the sand centipede, but no one pleaded for Xun Ye. Xun Ye's obstruction of Fang Yun in the Holy Ruins was no different from indirect murder, especially when Fang Yun was poisoned, he called Fang Yun a piece of waste paper, and finally did not help. So now no one is willing to save him.
Fang Yun frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows, as if he had figured something out. He looked quietly at the sandstorm ahead without saying a word.
The big rabbit hopped to the front of the sand centipede's head and squeaked, and the sand centipede also responded with a few squawks from time to time. The rabbit and the big centipede seemed to be chatting very happily.
The sand centipede moved forward rapidly, and the sandstorm became thinner and thinner. Soon, the sand centipede left the range of the sandstorm and left the desert.
It was very bright outside the sandstorm, and a plain covered with green grass appeared in front of me. In the far distance there was an extremely large mountain. The mountain was full of mountain roads and caves where monsters lived, as well as a few human-style buildings.
Everyone felt as if the huge rock that had been weighing on their hearts had disappeared, and they breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at the plain full of vitality.
But then everyone was stunned. Everyone slowly looked up at the starry sky, extremely shocked.
Huge stars hung in the night sky, each of which was several times larger than the stars visible in Shengyuan Continent, and seemed to be ready to fall at any time. Among them, hundreds of stars were like small moons.
Fang Yun observed carefully and found that the sky seemed to be separated by countless transparent glass, as if the stars of different distances were pulled into the sky by a great force. It gave people a feeling of spatial confusion, but Fang Yun knew in his heart that the positions of these stars had not changed, but the distance of the starlight had been changed by the terrifying power, and the star power projected to the demon ancestor's gate increased by dozens of times.
The stars are like lamps, filling the sky and illuminating the demon ancestor's gate as if it were daytime.
"That must be the legendary chessboard of chaotic stars. This kind of phenomenon can be seen in some special ancient places. Legend has it that Confucius and the saints of the demon clan used the sky as a chessboard and the stars as chess pieces to compete with each other. In the end, Confucius suppressed the chessboard of chaotic stars with the help of Wenquxing, expelled all the stars, and narrowly won." Li Fanming murmured to himself.
The Tiger Demon Hou snorted lightly.
Fang Yun was stunned, because he had never heard of this legend. Just imagine the scene. Confucius sat on one side of the void. The demon saints sat on the other side, and both sides played chess with the stars in the sky as chess pieces. The magnificence could not be described in words.
Fang Yun suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen something in the Holy Ruins, which was as shocking as the Chaos Star Chessboard, but he couldn't remember it. He subconsciously entered the world of strange books, and then saw the sloppy painting of the giant claws of chains. The memories in his mind unfolded from nothing to something. He recalled the scene of that day.
"The power of that giant claw is truly terrifying. It actually completely wiped out my memory."
The more he saw, the more he felt that this world was mysterious and strange. As a juren, he probably hadn't even seen a small part of this world.
"It seems there is no Wenquxing." said one person.
"No, these star powers are useless to our human race, but they are useful for the demon race to improve their cultivation. The demons in the Demon Ancestor's Gate are probably stronger than those in the demon world."
"It's stronger than the ordinary places in the demon world, but probably slightly inferior to the area around the Moon Tree."
"That's natural."
"It's worth the trip to see the Chaos Star Chessboard! Even if I get nothing, it's worth it!"
The sand centipede continued to move forward, while Fang Yun and others looked up at the Chaos Star Chessboard. Everyone was immersed in it, as if they understood something, but without a clear understanding.
After a while, the sand centipede slowed down.
"We are about to reach the First Star City."
Only then did everyone reluctantly give up looking at the starry sky and looked towards the mountain city while rubbing their sore necks.
It was an extremely huge mountain. The Daofeng Mountain in the Holy Academy was just an ordinary thousand-foot-high mountain, but this mountain was probably tens of thousands of feet high, which was completely beyond common sense.
This mountain city stretches for hundreds of miles, with winding mountain roads everywhere and caves everywhere on the mountain walls. Countless monsters live in the mountain city.
There are many large flat areas on the mountain, and many monsters are either practicing, competing, fighting to the death, or trading in the market.
Ninety-nine percent of the people in the mountain city are monsters, there are very few barbarians, and no humans can be seen.
There are waterfalls or rivers everywhere on the mountain city, flowing down the mountain and finally converging on the east side to form a lake like the ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Soon, the sand centipede arrived at the foot of the mountain city.
The foot of the mountain is well connected, with no walls or gates, and you can go up the mountain from anywhere.
"Star City is complicated, and you are a human. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's go up the mountain on a giant eagle." Tiger Demon Hou said, taking out a voice-transmitting conch from the lake berry to make contact.
Soon, a giant eagle swooped down, holding a huge basket in its claws.
When the giant eagle landed, everyone saw that the wingspan of the giant eagle was actually longer than that of the sand centipede, more than ten feet, incredibly large. The huge basket was actually a large wooden house with a door. Everyone went in one after another, and the Tiger Demon Hou jumped in from the basket. Everyone huddled together.
"Coo, coo..." The giant eagle called twice, then flapped its wings, held the handle of the basket with its claws, and slowly flew high.
The giant eagle flew higher and higher, and the basket kept shaking. Everyone felt very uncomfortable, but they had to endure it.
However, everyone's attention was soon distracted by the scene outside the basket. Looking at the Demon Ancestor's Gate from high in the sky, there was a different view, and one could even see the outline of the entire lake. To the east of the lake was an endless ocean, and one could even occasionally see huge sea beasts emerging from the water.
Everyone was curious. Many of them had ridden in the Grand Secretary's or the Great Scholar's flying boats, but this was the first time they had ridden in a big basket.
The giant eagle flew to the top of the mountain, and the buildings on the top of the mountain were full of human style, but they were several times larger than ordinary human houses.
The giant eagle placed the basket in a wide square. Many demons were standing not far away and slowly approached. An ape demon king and a bear demon king walked in front, followed by many demons.
The demon king is equivalent to the university scholar of the human race. Before they get close, Fang Yun and others feel a surge of blood and energy in front of them, and hear the sound of drums beating in their ears, which is the heartbeat of the demon king.
"But Lord Moon Guard?" The Ape Demon King showed joy.
Tiger Demon Hou went out first, but everyone stayed in the basket, not daring to move, and looked at Fang Yun together.
Fang Yun smiled, straightened his body, and walked out slowly. Niu Shan hurriedly followed.
After stepping out of the basket, Fang Yun immediately felt a lot of eyes on him, especially the two demon kings' eyes, which were as real as substance. His skin even felt a slight sting.
"It's me." Fang Yun looked calmly at the two tall demon kings. The ape demon king was as tall as two stories high, while the bear demon king was three stories high. They both lowered their heads.
The ape demon king nodded and said, "It is indeed Lord Yuewei."
However, a barbarian in black armor suddenly shouted among the monsters: "This man is not the Moon Guard. He is the genius of the human race, Fang Yun! Come on, behead him on the spot!"
Two Niu Man Hous wearing golden armor of flesh and blood rushed over. Fang Yun discovered that the style of their armor was exactly the same as the ten golden guards of the Demon King in front of the huge bronze gate. However, the armor of these Niu Man Hous was more blood-colored than gold, and the armor had completely penetrated into their flesh and blood.
Fang Yun vaguely guessed the barbarian's approximate identity.
"Slow!" The Ape Demon King said only one word, and the two Bull Barbarians had to stop.
"Lord Yuanwu, has this First Star City become a place for humans?" asked the barbarian.
"Third Prince, this person has strong moon power. There is a crescent moon in his eyes, which is obviously the moon power bestowed by the Moon God. How can he not be a Moon Guardian?" The Ape Demon King looked at the Third Prince.
Fang Yun carefully observed the third prince. He could not tell which barbarian tribe he belonged to just from his face. However, he had protruding fangs, dark green pupils, thick animal hair all over his body, skin like rhinoceros skin, and various demonic characteristics, which were very different from humans.
Apart from the black armor of the human race, he only resembled a human in his upright posture and outline.
Fang Yun recalled the legend about the Demon King, which said that his bloodline was very mixed, but this was very normal among the barbarians. Nearly one-tenth of the barbarians could not be assigned to a certain ethnic group.
The Third Prince said, "As far as I know, every time before entering the Holy Ruins, the human race would recite poems and lyrics, and then steal the power of the moon. And this year's moon power is more than before. You don't know, but I already knew it."
"I testify!" A wolf-barbarian walked out from the group of monsters. It was none other than the Wolf-Barbarian Saint who was scared away by Fang Yun after attacking the Star Monster Village.
"Your Highness." The third prince bowed slightly, but his attitude was not very respectful.
Although the Holy Son is the title of the Demon Saint's biological son, the Demon Emperor is the number one demon barbarian under the Half-Saint. It is generally recognized that he can be canonized as a saint within three years. By then, the Third Prince will also become a Holy Son, on par with the Wolf Barbarian Holy Son.
The Wolf Barbarian Saint smiled at the Third Prince, without any of the demeanor of a Saint Son.
The Ape Demon King looked at the Third Prince expressionlessly and asked, "Your Highness, even if this person's poems are known throughout the world and he steals twice as much moonlight, no, even if he has five times as much moonlight, can he still have a crescent moon in his eyes?"
"This..." The Third Prince and the Wolf Barbarian Saint looked at each other, unable to answer for a moment.
The Ape Demon King said, "Even if this person has ten times the moonlight that is passed down throughout the world, it can only form a crescent moon phantom, but the moonlight in his eyes is real. If it weren't for the Moon God's gift, he would never be able to do so. Among the human race, at least a university scholar can have a crescent moon in his eyes, but the moonlight of such a person is definitely not as solid and pure as this. My Ape Clan and Fox Clan have mastered the classics and history of the demon race. I know better than you whether he is a Moon Guardian!"
Fang Yun observed carefully and found that the ape demon king's blood aura was vast and mysterious, and the smell of blood was very light, unlike the Third Prince and the Wolf Barbarian Saint who had such a strong smell of blood. He should be a typical star demon barbarian, and obviously did not like the blood demon barbarian.
The bear demon king said, "Since ancient times, no demon has ever dared to pretend to be a Moon Guard, and it is even more impossible for humans to pretend to be one in my First Star City."
The Third Prince suddenly grinned and said, "I heard that there is a relic of the Moon God in the First Star City. It is a sculpture made by the Moon God himself. We can let Fang Yun say that he is a Moon Guard in front of the relic. If it is true, the Moon God relic will not move. If it is false, the Moon God is so powerful that he will definitely be punished by God!" (To be continued...)
