Chapter 1610
Chapter 1610
Zi Chen's injuries were very serious and required a period of time to heal. During this period, Zi Chen didn't leave his room.
But in this Royal Sky City where there were only 2th-level adventurers and 4th-level guards, an 3th-level cultivator suddenly appeared. The arrival of the other party was very sudden, causing everyone to be taken aback. But after hearing that the other party was here to look for someone, they didn't think too much of it.
The Imperial Sky Region occupied three cities and these three cities were collectively known as Imperial Sky City. They were divided into three layers, representing the three realms.
Occasionally, people from other cities would come here to look for people, but most of them were from clans that wanted to provide some help to the younger generation.
This Eighth Layer cultivator was here to look for Zi Chen and through the scum wandering outside, he quickly found out about Zi Chen's whereabouts.
Zi Chen didn't change his appearance and with the three weapons, it was actually very easy to find him. The Eighth Layer cultivator was very surprised that he could find Zi Chen. Originally, he thought that Zi Chen had died in the Desert of Death.
But when he thought about the price he had to pay to come here, his heart couldn't help but tremble. This time, the Wang Clan had made sufficient preparations. Other than the Seventh Layer cultivator, they also sent the Eighth Layer cultivator, a total of five Eighth Layer cultivators. And he was the only one that successfully made it here.
After finding Zi Chen, the next step was to contact the other Wang Clan members. When the second wave of Wang Clan cultivators entered the Battlefield of Despair, there were also Seventh Layer cultivators who made it here alive. But compared to the number of people who entered, it was a lot less.
These people were scattered all over the city, intending to find out about Zi Chen's whereabouts. But Zi Chen seemed to have evaporated from this city.
They knew that Zi Chen was recuperating because his injuries were too serious. Once his injuries were healed, he would definitely come out again and go out to hunt again.
In the blink of an eye, Zi Chen had already been recuperating for seven days. During these seven days, Old Man Schenker had already reported the matter of the foreign invaders attacking the city. However, it didn't receive the attention it deserved.
Because this matter was too inconceivable. It seemed that ever since the Imperial Sky City was occupied by the human race, such a situation had never happened.
However, due to old man Schenker's strong request, the cultivators of Imperial Sky City still sent some people to investigate the Dax Plains.
Unfortunately, these people were all at Tier 2, and were unable to venture deep into the Dax Plains. Naturally, they were unable to see the foreign army. As soon as they reached the outskirts, they were discovered by the foreign army, and a battle broke out.
Some of them came back alive and reported that there were indeed many foreign races in the periphery, but they didn't find any foreign race army.
The higher-ups signaled for the guards to be on guard, but they didn't ask for help from the other two cities. After a while, the foreign races in the Dax Plains would appear. It was said that there were too many of them, so they needed to expend some resources. This time, they didn't mind.
Ten whole days passed before Zi Chen's injuries were completely healed. When he walked out of the room, he had already changed his appearance.
First, he went to the market and made a round. After haggling, he used three crystals to buy a weapon. After that, he bought some cheap food and water. Then, he took the weapon and carried a bag on his back and walked out of the city.
With a three-meter-long storage bag, Zi Chen could store all of his weapons inside. It was impossible for the Wang Family to find Zi Chen through the previous information.
Zi Chen still believed what he heard that day. The foreign races would definitely come knocking on his door. At that time, if Zi Chen was still in the city, even if he wasn't killed by the foreign races, he would definitely be killed by the Wang Family.
It was already full of danger, and Zi Chen didn't want to be surrounded by enemies. Leaving was Zi Chen's only choice.
Walking out of the city, Zi Chen clearly discovered that the number of adventurers outside the city had increased. They were using their sharp eyes to stare at the adventurers who were leaving.
Everyone's gaze swept past Zi Chen, who was holding a shabby weapon in the early seventh stage, and they completely lost interest in him.
Faintly, Zi Chen heard someone muttering, 'Why is that guy's injuries still not healed?'
Zi Chen headed straight for the Dax Plains. That place was very dangerous, but it had attracted many powerful adventurers.
These adventurers were all experts on the same level as Wharton. Even if they discovered humans, they couldn't be bothered to attack. In their eyes, the foreign races were the most valuable.
When he was a day away from the Dax Plains, Zi Chen suddenly changed his path. It seemed like he was going to go around the Dax Plains.
Zi Chen's journey took an entire five days. He directly went around the most likely place for the foreign races to appear. If the foreign races were determined to invade the human cities, they would definitely travel in a straight line.
The Dax race's forces had all gathered, but unlike the human world's armies, they didn't move in an orderly fashion. Instead, they were very lazy, moving in groups of three to five, and some were even alone, moving towards the human world from a certain distance away.
Early in the morning, the foreign races received the order to clear out all the humans on the outskirts. Thus, all of them moved out.
Apart from this, many ninth level experts appeared among the foreign races. They turned into streaks of light, heading towards the human cities in a straight line.
From a visual estimate, there were no less than fifty ninth level experts. Moreover, there was still an endless stream of experts behind them.
From the depths of the Dax Plains, they had spent a long period of time. They had purposely gathered at the outskirts and spent another period of time. However, in less than a day, they had arrived at the human cities.
When the powerful auras of the foreign races appeared in the line of sight of the guards, their expressions changed drastically.
Then, the alarm sounded. This city, which had been peaceful for who knew how many years, finally welcomed its first baptism of war.
Although the defensive formation had been activated immediately, faced with the attacks of the foreign races, the humans began to die en masse.
Before the human reinforcements could arrive, the foreign races had already broken through the city and led their army into the city.
The foreign races, on the other hand, had only used a single day.
Thus, the city had been conquered.
When the news spread, it caused an uproar.
A city had been conquered in a single day. Firstly, it was because they had been caught off guard. But more importantly, it was because this city had always abided by the rules of the Battlefield of Despair. There were not many ninth level cultivators guarding this place, and there were no true powerhouses among them.
Those guards were all unwilling to go out and hunt the foreign races. Although their cultivation levels seemed high, without the incisive flames of war here, their battle prowess was not high at all.
Apart from this, the Dax foreign races had already prepared meticulously for a long time. They had even mobilized many of their main forces, which was why they were able to defeat the Imperial Sky City, the base of the seventh level adventurers.
As such, the human seventh level cultivators would have to fend for themselves when they arrived here. They would not be able to provide any support.
After successfully conquering this city, the foreign races did not wantonly destroy it. In truth, there were many things that they were unable to destroy. For example, the ancient city walls, the towering seventh level military board, and the golden words on it.
They did not even have the ability to destroy a small general store.
It was said that this city was under the protection of the rules. Once they destroyed something that represented a special meaning, it would be equivalent to breaking the rules and they would be punished.
The rumor that the Royal Sky City originally existed was verified. This was something left behind by the original world. This was also the reason why until now, the words' Royal Sky City 'still didn't appear on the entrance of the Royal Sky City.
Zi Chen was not clear about the fall of the seventh level stronghold. He just happened to go around the foreign race army and entered the depths of the Dax Plains.
As if it was because they had turned out in full force, Zi Chen rarely encountered any Dax foreign race experts along the way. Most of them were at the seventh level.
As such, Zi Chen began to slaughter without any hesitation. However, he was a lot more careful when he was killing. Although he did not know that the Imperial Sky City had been invaded, Zi Chen had a faint feeling that once the foreign races invaded, the humans who did not care much would not be able to defend against them.
Thus, even if Zi Chen had to expend a bit of energy, he was determined not to let himself be injured.
As for the energy he expended, he could slowly recover it. After all, he had spirit crystals that could recover energy, as well as inner armor that could recover energy.
The foreign races had taken over the first city of the Imperial Sky Region, but they were not satisfied. They quickly mobilized their army and began to move towards the second city.
However, this time, the Imperial Sky Region was prepared, and the foreign races were destined to return without success.
The foreign races who were successfully repelled could only helplessly defend the first city. What followed was a war of attrition between the two sides.
It was very difficult for the foreign races to take down the second city, but it was also extremely difficult for the human experts to reclaim the first city.
As time passed, the number of humans who went out to train without any support gradually increased. At the same time, the Dax foreign races' territory also increased.
This was very suitable for Zi Chen. Thus, he specifically targeted a few foreign races who were alone to kill.
At the Desperate Soldiers Ranking, which was where Zi Chen had first reported, there were foreign races who were paying attention to the rankings of the human adventurers.
Apart from being able to see the top 655 rankings, they could also see the situation of all the seventh level human contribution points.
During the time when they had taken over the city, the foreign races had been paying attention to the rankings. Among them, there were two names that attracted the foreign races' attention.
One was called Zi Chen, and the other was called Wharton.
Wharton's contribution points had already reached six thousand. In other words, he had already killed six thousand foreign races. Moreover, this number was increasing every day, ranging from a few to a dozen.
As for that person called Zi Chen, he only had a few hundred contribution points. It could be seen that he was still a rookie among the humans who had just entered this world.
However, his contribution points were increasing extremely quickly. Every day, he would kill at least a dozen, and on a single day, he would kill as many as forty.
In other words, there were dozens of seventh level foreign races that died at the hands of this human called Zi Chen every day.
Unfortunately, they could only see the increase in contribution points, but not the human's position. This made the foreign races extremely angry.
News of the loss of Imperial Sky City quickly spread through the mouths of the foreign races. Zi Chen, who had hundreds of foreign hearts in his storage pouch, naturally knew of this news.
At this point, Zi Chen knew that there was no turning back. If the Cauldron Spirit he summoned didn't have the effect he had imagined, Zi Chen would be exhausted to death.
Furthermore, because he had killed hundreds of enemies, Zi Chen's spirit crystals had been greatly depleted. Gradually, he began to show signs of exhaustion.
