Austin heard what the soldier said and instantly deduced that the city was not ordinary.
The soldiers led Austin into the inner city and walked him around the city.
Although the solider was a guard of the city, he was an old man as compared to the young Austin.
He had been living alone in the city for many years ever since his comrades died in that ferocious battle years ago. He wasn't
afraid of shedding blood or standing on the wall for eternity to safeguard his beloved homeland. It was just that sometimes it felt
really hard living here because loneliness and depression were his only closest friends and companions in his life.
To his surprise, a young man from the Immortal End World had unexpectedly appeared and added a little energy to the city. His
visit livened the city, and he was very glad to have someone to talk to for a while.
"Could that be..."
Austin stared at a distant place from where he was standing. He saw a palace that was surrounded by a surging fairy aura. The
palace was brilliant with flickering flames and was almost transparent so one could clearly see its interior.
Austin could vaguely see a few tall figures sitting in the palace. Their bodies were burning in the sea of fire. Their bones were lit,
and their blood essence and energy was being released from their bodies. The aura formed by the burnt energy shrouded the city
to protect it.
"They were the five leaders of the city. They had been leading the city in the past.
However, they died many years back in battle, but their bodies were still kept in the city after their death. Their bodies have been
constantly burning for many years. The heat produced from their bodies protects the city and frightens demons from outside."
The soldier looked at the five tall figures in awe as he told Austin about their legendary heroics and how they cto be the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprotectors of the city.
"They died in battle, but their bodies were left here to protect the city! That's unbelievable! I've never heard anything like that!
How did they manage to do that?"
For the first tin his life, Austin heard about such an astounding story. He could not but feel dumbfounded.
He kept observing the burning divine figures and could not but imagine how powerful the five leaders must have been when they
were alive.
Based on his current cultivation base and other strong cultivators that he had cacross, it was impossible for Austin to
comprehend how a single being could have such powerful strength.
"What the hell is that place?"
Soon Austin found another strange place in the city.
He saw a sealed entrance that looked like the opening of a well at the corner of the city.
Several powerful arrays and layers of rune were placed around the entrance of the cave to guard it.
However, there was still a torrent of a dark evil and vicious energy emerging from the entrance. It changed into a black hurricane
as soon as it shot out, and whirled and roared like a flood of water filling the whole city.
"That's where all belligerents are held as prisoners," replied the soldier.
He cast a cold look at the place that Austin was looking at.
"You have prisoners here?
You mean evil demons from other lands? Is that where they are all imprisoned?"
Austin was startled by the soldier's revelation.
"There are evil demons from other lands, as well as wicked scoundrels from other races.
I'm not sure if you young generation these days are aware of this. Anyway, to put it simply, let's just say that the Immortal End
World we are living in is a very big world.
However, that doesn't mean that we are the only world. There is an infinite universe beyond our realm where other worlds exist. It
is too broad for us to see or comprehend.
There are many other worlds like the Immortal End World. The number may be around tens of millions.
When the Immortal End World was invaded and attacked many years back, most of the intruders were the evil demons from the
Evil Abyss World; but they were not our only aggressors. There were invaders from other worlds as well.
It was an army where our enemies ctogether as allies. It was a huge army.
Although the evil demons from the Evil Abyss World were our greatest enemies and aggressors, there were other creatures and
spirits from other races including human cultivators. The prisoners were made up of everyone we had defeated and captured at
spoint."
The soldier recalled the past and relayed it to Austin as if it wasn't a big deal.
"There were human cultivators as well? Human like us?"
Austin was stunned at the soldier's words.
"Yes, it's true that there are human cultivators. After all, human beings live in other worlds outside this land as well. So it's not a
strange occurrence."
The soldier seemed composed as compared to Austin who seemed to be astonished with every sentence he uttered.
"You are right. Humans indeed could be found everywhere outside the Immortal End World."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAustin nodded in agreement with the soldier.
Austin followed the soldier and walked around the city for a while.
Generally speaking, the city was in complete ruins in appearance. It was very old and dilapidated.
Because of Austin's arrival, the soldier had an urge to speak. He had probably not seen another human being in a long while and
therefore wanted to tell everything he knew to the young man as much as possible.
So they talked a lot on the way.
The conversations between the old man and the young man had made their relationship grow closer within a short period of time.
"Sir, is there any way in the city that | can use to get back to the Immortal End World?"
Austin suddenly asked.
Austin wanted to know the answer because that was the one thing he cared about the most.
"Well to be honest, in the ancient times, the city was situated within the borders of the Immortal End World.
