Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Lightning bolts struck the chains repeatedly, producing a loud clanging sound.

Bai E gazed ahead at the iron chains:

"Getting struck by lightning would be terrible, wouldn't it?"

"Brother Yan Huan, we need to think of a way to get through this."

"Hey, there's a prophecy stele here, why don't we... wait a minute! Should we just go over there?"

While Bai E was still trying to play with the traps, Yan Huan had already jumped onto the iron chain and sped through the thunderbolts.

"Wait for me!"

Bai E also jumped onto the iron chain, dodging and advancing amidst the stinging lightning.

The iron chain was very long, and it took them quite a while to reach the other end.

This place looks like an arena, with related decorations everywhere at the registration area: flags, weapons, armor, registration forms...

Bai E walked to the table and picked up a thin stone slab.

"This is... the Stone Tablet of Proverbs?"

The rest of the items on the table were covered in dust, but the stone slab was clean.

"Unlike the old things piled up here, this looks too new. Who left it here?"

Yan Huan also walked over and looked at the words on the stone slab.

“Read what’s written on this.”

"I don't understand," Bai E said honestly.

"This is probably an ancient saying from Suspended Peak City. Isn't there an expert next door? Let's have him take a look when we meet up with Wan Di."

"However... I suddenly thought of a question."

Bai E looked at Yan Huan and asked:

"Brother Yan Huan, you clearly come from outer space, so how come you can understand the writing and language of Onphalus?"

"..."

"You're only noticing this now?!"

Chapter 1199 What did you say?

"Could it be that Onphalus had far more interaction with the outer realms than people imagine? But there is no record of this in historical documents at all."

"Perhaps your arrival... will overturn many things."

The two then wandered around the nearby lounge, where the corner was almost piled high with suicide notes.

"Besides Wan Di, are there any other members of the Xuanfeng tribe in Ohema now?" Yan Huan asked.

“Of course,” Bai E explained.

"They look no different from others, except that they have some traditions that are different from ours."

Next, the two entered the front hall of the arena, which was filled with Heavenly Punishment Familiars, clearly a good opportunity to rack up points.

Without saying a word, Bai E grabbed his sword and charged forward.

Yan Huan was standing to the side when she suddenly noticed a blurry map in the corner.

"?"

He walked over, picked up the map, and examined it carefully.

If what is written above is correct, the center of the arena is directly below [Heavenly Punishment Edge], and the true name of this palace is [Suspended Edge Arena].

The fighters who participate in the competition all have to sign a waiver of life and death.

Those who survive will receive honor, while those who die will become firewood, fueling the divine retribution from above.

After Bai'e annihilated the Divine Punishment soldiers in the area, the two continued forward. At this time, Wan Di also advanced to a platform not far to their left.

The entire arena was like a palace, ridiculously large, and divided into many areas.

"Wan Di previously said that Nicardoli should be in the Soulforging Zone, and that the Scourge soldiers were created by the Titans there."

Bai E looked at the mural on the wall and said to Yan Huan:

"A body is forged from raw stone, then infused with the golden blood of a god to give it vitality..."

"The reason why Suspended Peak City was able to win one battle after another was because it relied on this method, which ensured a continuous supply of soldiers."

"Really?" Yan Huan pondered.

"How much golden blood must the Titan of Strife have? Could it all flow out?"

"Haha, let's not pry into the affairs of the gods. Let's keep going."

The deeper you go, the more traps and mechanisms you'll find.

Especially the so-called cliff, every time Bai E wanted to activate the mechanism, he would obediently walk across it.

Standing on high ground, Yan Huan looked down at the place filled with devices and couldn't help but wonder whether it was a fighting arena or the Brain Research Institute.

"What the hell are all these traps?"

Watching Bai E below obediently working on deciphering the mechanism, Yan Huan was somewhat speechless.

Suspended Peak City is home to both the Titans of Strife and the Arena; shouldn't it be a place that trains reckless brutes?

But the mechanisms here are like educational toys. Could a reckless man like Zhang Fei really enjoy playing with the puzzles and locks provided by Zhuge Liang?

……

Ten minutes later, Bai E and Yan Huan finally reunited.

"Too slow, what are you doing?" Wan Di had been waiting for a long time.

"Haha, here we are."

"Enough with the nonsense, look at your results."

Wan Di threw a bag of Suspended Peak Insignia onto the ground and said in a deep voice:

There are seventy-nine here.

“Ha, it seems I’ve won.” Bai’er also took out a bag of Suspended Edge Insignia. “I have ninety-four.”

"Hmm." Wan Di nodded slightly.

"Then I'll honor my bet and leave the final blow to you."

"Really? Hmm... I suddenly have a bad feeling about this."

Bai E smiled faintly:

"The stakes are too high. Deciding the glory through a contest is not a sign of reverence for God."

"I'll change the stakes; you just need to share half of your spoils with us."

"As for Nicardoli... we will join forces to defeat him."

Wan Di remained expressionless. "The premise is that we can do it."

"Since you want the spoils, then you can have all of these."

He gave all of his insignia to Bai Er.

Bai E carefully put away the spoils of war, then asked:

"So, it's right ahead?"

At this moment, the three of them had arrived in front of the Soul Forging Zone.

The god of strife is near at hand.

"Its presence is faint, but it's right here."

Wan Di remained calm.

"Our paths with [conflict] are about to intersect."

"..."

To Yan Huan's surprise, things had progressed to this point without them being attacked by Titans.

They could not even sense a trace of his presence.

Is this really a god?

Yan Huan stroked her chin, looking thoughtfully at Bai E and Wan Di's tense expressions.

Although the one that attacked the Marble Palace last time was not the Titan itself.

But right now, it should be in Suspended Peak City, right?

They've come all this way, yet their aura is still so weak, as if they haven't noticed any intruders. They could at least shout a few times.

"Alright, there's no point in thinking about it now. Let's just walk through this corridor."

Wan Di led the way to the end of the corridor.

There is a large golden lion head statue on the wall here.

Bai E looked up in surprise and exclaimed:

"Could this huge thing be the Lion's Mouth of Truth?"

"Show some respect. This is the [Golden Lion Head]. Don't compare it to those who spout rumors and unofficial histories," Wan Di explained.

"The Golden Lionhead is the foremost strategist of Suspended Edge City. His advice has won many battles for our people and thwarted countless conspiracies."

"Unfortunately, it has lost its voice. If only the Golden Descendants could borrow its wisdom—"

Just as he was deep in thought, the golden lion head suddenly spoke.

"Maide... Moss?"

"?" Wan Di suddenly looked up.
