Chapter 2665: Chapter 2665: Desolate Land
"Did they all run away?" the Third City Lord asked.
"Nonsense, they have to restore their strength before going out," the Second City Lord immediately replied. "The cultivators in the Immortal Palace haven’t recovered yet, how could those outside run?"
"So where have they gone?" the Third City Lord asked blankly.
The Second City Lord didn’t speak but looked towards Su Yang.
Su Yang’s face was solemn. When he came over, he noticed there were no skeletal remains here, which was very peculiar and completely different from the arrays of other Great Worlds.
The Chaos Sparrow definitely wouldn’t lead the way casually. Judging by its serious demeanor, this place might indeed be special.
"Let’s go, explore around first!" Su Yang said in a deep voice.
The three Crystal Skulls immediately nodded, following behind Su Yang to circle around within the array.
Only after walking did they realize how shocking the place was.
This location, not only lacked skeletal remains outside of the Immortal Palace, but there was also a powerful battle aura outside, as if a Heaven-defying Level expert had fought here.
The arrays they visited before had no such aura. Although in Ancient Times, Heavenly Warriors and Guardian Gods fought here, after the battle, the aura was absorbed by the remnants of the Guardian God’s skeleton, and the battle aura had vanished.
Yet this place still retained such an aura, fundamentally distinguishing it from other places.
Moreover, there were absolutely no skeletal remains here, adding another layer of uniqueness.
The four exchanged glances; they had traversed many arrays in Great Worlds but had never encountered such a situation. What exactly was going on here?
"Which Great World is this? Why is it so different?" the Third City Lord wondered aloud.
Su Yang didn’t speak, instead looking beyond the array. His intuition told him the inside was different, and outside might be too.
"Let’s check it out outside!" Su Yang said in a deep voice.
"Good idea!" The three Crystal Skulls nodded; they also were curious about the world outside the array.
Su Yang concealed the three Crystal Skulls within the Chaos Gourd and stealthily exited the array.
Originally, Su Yang thought there would be formidable beings guarding outside the array. However, upon exit, he found his concerns were completely unnecessary.
Outside the array was a desolate ruin, not a single person was there.
Su Yang released the three Crystal Skulls; they looked baffled, utterly unexpected.
"Strange, why isn’t there a Guardian God guarding here?" the Second City Lord wondered. "Could it be all the Guardian Gods of this Great World went to our Great World?"
Su Yang remained silent, while the Great City Lord frowned and said, "Impossible! This Guardian Land is the foundation of the Guardian Gods. Even if they were to go to our Great World, they wouldn’t send everyone; some must be left to guard here!"
"Then why is no one guarding here?" the Second City Lord questioned.
"Er..." The Great City Lord was bewildered as well, unable to answer.
The Third City Lord examined the surroundings for a moment, then suddenly said, "Do you think this Great World might have no Guardian Gods?"
"What?" The Great City Lord and Second City Lord exclaimed simultaneously, with the Second City Lord responding quickly, "What are you thinking? How could there be no Guardian Gods? It’s understandable if you say there’s no Human Clan or Demon Beast Clan, but no Guardian Gods? That’s impossible!"
"You never know!" the Third City Lord replied. "Didn’t the Human Emperor’s Great World lack Guardian Gods?"
"In the Human Emperor’s Great World, there wasn’t even a Guardian Land; why aren’t you mentioning that!" said the Second City Lord.
"Er..." The Third City Lord scratched his head, "Could there be a Guardian Land here with no Guardian Gods?"
"Nonsense, if there’s a Guardian Land, Guardian Gods would be born. Even if this Great World truly lacks Guardian Gods, others would send Guardian Gods to guard it; it’s impossible to have none!" retorted the Second City Lord.
"Then what is the situation here?" the Third City Lord said disappointedly.
The Second City Lord opened his mouth but couldn’t explain the current situation.
At this moment, Su Yang suddenly spoke, "Perhaps not even Guardian Gods can reach this place!"
"Hmm?" The three Crystal Skulls were surprised, turning to look at Su Yang.
Su Yang didn’t answer but looked at the Chaos Sparrow, "Can Guardian Gods enter here?"
The Chaos Sparrow shook its head decisively, gesturing further.
Su Yang barely understood, saying in a deep voice, "The little guy means unless it’s it or the sovereign of the Chaos Worms, no one can find this place!"
"Really?" The Second City Lord said wide-eyed, "Even with that token, it’s ineffective?"
The Chaos Sparrow proudly shook its head, indicating that the token was useless.
"So this Great World is indeed a place Guardian Gods cannot enter!" the Second City Lord perked up, "Do you think it could be the place of those other two great figures from Ancient Times, like the Taoist Venerable or Buddha Venerable?"
"Unlikely!" Su Yang shook his head decisively, "Based on my understanding of the Human Emperor’s Great World, if it truly were the Taoist Venerable or Buddha Venerable’s Great World, it wouldn’t even have a Guardian Land, certainly not connected to the Immortal Palace."
"Then what place is this?" the Second City Lord questioned.
Su Yang didn’t answer, instead slowly ascending to observe the surroundings.
But when he barely reached fifty meters high, he was suppressed by an overwhelming power, unable to ascend further.
"This place seems confined by a power, making flight impossible!" Su Yang exclaimed in surprise.
The three Crystal Skulls tried it out and indeed found it to be true.
Su Yang no longer attempted to fly higher but led the three Crystal Skulls to fly low, scouting the surroundings.
After leaving the broken Main God Hall, Su Yang and his companions wandered around, astonishingly finding this area wasn’t vast.
According to the array’s position, they should be within this Great World’s Guardian Land.
But this area’s scope was minuscule compared to the Guardian Lands of other Great Worlds, less than one-millionth the size.
"What kind of place is this? Why so small?" the Second City Lord couldn’t help but say, "This isn’t a Guardian Land, is it?"
"No, this is the Guardian Land!" Su Yang replied concisely.
