Within Tian Yuan City, there was a Middle Thousand Worlds connected. This matter was basically known to everyone.

Moreover, that Middle Thousand World was not like the one in Ying Tian City, it was just a newborn state.

The Middle Thousand Worlds of Tian Yuan City had already reached a very perfect level. Some of them even gave birth to natives. However, the level of civilization development was very low, and they were easily conquered by the humans of the Great Thousand Worlds.

With such a path, Daqian Dynasty was not afraid of being trapped by the Great Zhou Dynasty for a long time.

“How should we get in? The defenses here are so tight that not a single fly can fly in. If we break in by force, it will definitely be very dangerous.” Liu Ke’er said worriedly.

Li Qing’s eyebrows were filled with urgency as he looked over from afar. Banners stood on the ground, stretching endlessly. The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was incredibly powerful.

If Lin Tianhao’s army were to be placed here, it would simply be a drop in the ocean. An inconspicuous drop of water in the ocean was insignificant.

Wherever his gaze passed, almost all of the places were built with war fortresses, covering almost all of the land.

Large-scale Divine Martial Cannons were built all around. Just this small piece of land in front of them, there were probably more than a thousand of them.

One after another, war machines were placed there to gather momentum.

If anyone dared to come out of Tian Yuan City and fire ten thousand cannons at the same time, even peak Void Realm experts would probably be beaten to ashes.

This was the power of war. In front of such an army, an individual’s strength was somewhat insignificant.

No wonder Tian Yuan City couldn’t break out of the siege of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even during Daqian Dynasty’s heyday, it wasn’t possible for such a huge net to break through.

This was the first time Li Qing had witnessed the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty! It was even more terrifying than he had imagined!

Li Qing said, “Tian Yuan City is heavily defended. It is indeed not easy to enter. The Great Zhou Dynasty must have considered the factors of Void Realm experts. They should have taken all kinds of precautions to sneak in or escape.”

Then, he pointed out, “The few formations in the distance are scouting-type formations. Ordinary Void Realm experts have nowhere to hide in front of these formations. Even if they cultivate concealment-type secret arts, it will be very difficult for them to get past them.”

“In addition, there will be Void Realm experts guarding the war fortresses every once in a while. They will release their divine sense and scan the fortresses for twelve hours without interruption.”

“More importantly, not only is the Great Zhou Dynasty heavily defended, even Tian Yuan City is doing the same. They have used all kinds of measures to prevent the spies of the Great Zhou Dynasty from sneaking in.”

“Under this dual defense, it’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens to sneak in.”

Liu Ke’er said, “Then what should we do now?”

Li Qing smiled bitterly and said, “I can only say that I have a chance to enter, but the risk is too great. Once someone finds out, I may suffer a situation of eternal calamity. I think it’s best not to take such a risk.”

The Devil Shadow Steps he cultivated, coupled with the hidden treasures given to him by the Myriad Devil Sect, were enough to render most of his detection methods ineffective, making it difficult for even the divine sense of a Void Realm expert to scan him out.

Of course, if there was a Void Realm high-level existence, or even a Void Realm pinnacle expert’s territory, it would definitely not be easy for them to enter.

However, the scope of Tian Yuan City was so vast that a loophole could always be found. As long as Li Qing studied it carefully, it wasn’t impossible for him to not have a chance.

The problem was that the risk was too great, and it was worth considering whether or not it was worth the risk. Once a small flaw was revealed, if someone discovered it, they could be attacked endlessly.

Under such dense attacks, Li Qing was not confident that he could successfully escape.

In fact, Li Qing didn’t really have to go in. Now that he saw this situation, a trace of retreat arose in his heart.

However, he would not give up so easily and said, “I want to wait here for a while to see if there is any chance. If there is still no chance after a month, then let’s not go in and just leave.”

“That’s good. This place looks a little scary. With so many war fortresses, shen wu cannons, and all kinds of war weapons, I’m afraid only Dao Realm experts can freely enter and exit.” Liu Ke’er said.

For the next period of time, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er waited at the top of the mountain near Tian Yuan City.

About half a month later, the opportunity finally appeared. In the distance, a loud bugle horn sounded, followed by rumbling sounds.

The war had begun!

Li Qing raised his eyes and saw the scene of thousands of cannons firing at the same time! A shocking feeling couldn’t help but arise in his heart.

Tens of thousands of Divine Martial Cannons continued to bombard the defensive array of Tian Yuan City. Intense rumbling sounds resounded, and endless light and flames spread out, completely covering up the situation there. One could only faintly see waves of energy fluctuating and violently colliding.

Heaven and earth collapsed, like the scene of the end of the world.

“If I were at the center of the battle, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to survive. I would be smashed to pieces!” Li Qing sighed.

After the first round of the Divine Martial Cannons, all kinds of weapons of war appeared on the stage. A huge tree that looked more than a thousand feet long had a huge circular head. It was carried by more than a dozen carts below and smashed towards Tian Yuan City.

Rumble!

The earth trembled and a violent collision sounded. The power of the siege hammer was boundless, and even Tian Yuan City was slightly shaken.

“Charge! Kill!” Along with the countless siege machines, countless warriors surged out of the war fortress and rushed towards Tian Yuan City.

The formation in Tian Yuan City had long since been activated, waiting for the enemy to attack. As these warriors entered the range of the formation, one attack after another descended, killing them.

“Heavenly Emperor Chariot!”

With a command, these soldiers immediately formed a formation, transforming into an incomparably huge phantom war chariot that enveloped them, blocking the attacks of the Heavenly Origin City formation. At the same time, they collided into the formation, causing a large amount of damage.

Li Qing and Liu Ke’er stood in the distance, watching this intense battle from afar. The Great Zhou Dynasty basically attacked Tian Yuan City every once in a while, consuming its strength.

In this situation, it should be a routine attack every month.

“The opportunity has come! Now that we’ve taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into it, no one should notice.” Li Qing said slowly.

“The Divine Martial Cannon just now has already fired one round at a time. It is impossible to fire again in a short period of time. Even if Tian Yuan City’s spell formation attacks were to cover it indifferently, it might cause some trouble.” Liu Ke’er nodded.

“It doesn’t matter. As long as you’re careful, you’ll be able to withstand it. However, your strength is too weak. I’ll put you away first.” After Li Qing finished speaking, he took out Yin-yang Chaos Bottle and put Liu Ke’er into it.

Immediately after, he used the Devil Shadow Steps and quickly rushed towards the battlefield.

Sure enough, no one noticed this illusory figure in this chaotic battlefield. Li Qing crossed the defensive line laid down by Great Zhou and entered the range of the Tian Yuan City formation.

In this place, endless attacks descended, covering the sky and earth. There was no way for them to dodge attacks of any kind.

Li Qing could only bear it head-on. Fortunately, his defense was strong and he could easily block these attacks.

Not long after, he passed through the layers of formations in Tian Yuan City and quietly climbed onto the city wall, successfully sneaking into the city.

The process went very smoothly, but considering Li Qing’s current strength, it was normal for his concealment technique to be so brilliant.

The atmosphere in the city was very tense, and no one noticed Li Qing’s existence as he was dealing with the Great Zhou Dynasty’s attack with all his might.

Soon after, he passed through the periphery of Tian Yuan City and entered the inner circle. Coming here basically meant that he was completely safe.

In front of him was the residential area of Tian Yuan City. Li Qing appeared from a corner and released Liu Ke’er.

…

The area of Tian Yuan City was extremely large, and its population was large. It was bustling, and it didn’t seem to have the sense of urgency for a great war to come.

The residents of the city were also used to it. The Great Zhou Dynasty attacked every once in a while. There had been too many such incidents in the past hundred years, and their hearts had long since calmed down.

Perhaps it was because of the long siege, the atmosphere in the city was somewhat oppressive. The residents inside couldn’t see any smiles on their faces, and their spirits were depressed.

Even though Tian Yuan City was self-sufficient and didn’t have to worry about the danger of starvation, there were always many drawbacks to being trapped in this place.

Perhaps in another hundred years, without the Great Zhou Dynasty taking down Tian Yuan City, they would collapse first.

The suppression of the mind was perhaps even more terrifying than the lack of material possessions.

He didn’t know if it was to cope with this increasingly depressed will, but Tian Yuan City had also used all sorts of methods. For example, it would build a landscape scenic spot every once in a while, allowing people to be open-minded and not feel too depressed.

The scenery was beautiful, and the city was orderly. Every once in a while, there would be troops guarding it. It was extremely safe. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were trapped, they would probably be a sacred land on earth.

It was a pity that no matter how good the place was, it could not be considered beautiful without freedom.

Most of the inhabitants of the city lived in this strange state, and there was no hope in their lives.

As for martial artists wanting to experience it, if they entered the Middle Thousand Worlds to hunt demonic beasts, they would barely be able to achieve some results.

The Middle Thousand World was very perfect. It was similar to the situation in the outside world. However, its area was a little smaller. Many demonic beasts had been born inside. It could be considered a good place for training.

“Tian Yuan City has been suffering for nearly a hundred years. Sooner or later, their family resources will be exhausted. Their number of martial artists should become fewer and fewer. Once they reach their limits, they will no longer be able to withstand the attacks of the Great Zhou Dynasty.” Li Qing observed the situation here and said slowly.

Liu Ke’er said, “To be able to last for a hundred years is already considered an extremely high achievement. Only Tian Yuan City can achieve this. There are countless influential families in the city with deep foundation and numerous experts. Only in this way can we continuously produce new forces and prevent the occurrence of dynastic situations.”

“But I guess they won’t be able to support us for long. Many powers in the city are probably already unhappy with the Da Qian royal family, and they might even be willing to be spies of the Great Zhou Dynasty and work together inside and outside the city.”

Li Qing nodded, “If Daqian Dynasty were to be destroyed, then I think it would definitely not be destroyed by the Great Zhou Dynasty. Instead, it would be destroyed by internal strife and betrayal. The strongest fortress would always be broken from the inside.”

“Dao Sovereign Zhulong can only continue this situation, but in the end, he is still powerless to go against the heavens. The ending of Daqian Dynasty is already doomed.”

“The Great Qin Dynasty in the north should also be doing its best to help Daqian Dynasty tide over the difficulties, but it doesn’t seem to be working well. The Great Zhou Dynasty is currently the dominant family and should be able to unify the Central Region in the future. It’s just a matter of time.”

As they talked, they passed through the bustling downtown area and finally arrived at the most famous place in Tian Yuan City, the Supreme Divine Palace.

This Supreme Divine Hall was built by the Extreme Emperor back then. At the beginning, it was only used to worship the great figures of past generations, or the sages of the ancestors, and so on.

Later, for some unknown reason, it was completely closed, and it had not been opened until now.

It was rumored that there was an inheritance of the Extreme Emperor. However, no one had seen it since ancient times, and it was unknown whether it was true or false.

The reason why Li Qing went all out to enter Tian Yuan City was precisely because of Supreme Lord Divine Palace.
