Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Earth City was extremely far from the imperial capital of the Atu Empire.

However, Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao were very fast.

In almost no time at all, they arrived at the vast city complex where the imperial capital was located.

This city complex was situated on a vast plain, occupying almost the entire area of the plain.

The plain was not without mountains, but they were relatively few, and the mountains were relatively low, mostly not exceeding two thousand meters.

Compared to the mountains over ten thousand meters high on the three sides of the plain, those mountains were simply not worth mentioning.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao were standing on the summit of a towering mountain in the mountains hundreds of miles away from the plain city complex.

Standing in such a position, they could see the entire panorama of the city complex.

This city complex was composed of hundreds of cities.

These cities were basically nearly half of all the cities in the Atu Empire.

The Atu Empire did not have many cities, only a little over a thousand in total.

However, the scale of these cities was not small.

Now, after countless years of development, the Atu clan could be said to be quite prosperous.

Their population had grown from less than 100 million in the past to several billion now.

Of course, these several billion people did not refer to the total population of the Atu Empire, but only the population of the Atu clan.

Within the territory ruled by the entire Atu Empire, there were hundreds of billions of people, which was quite terrifying, and it was composed of many large ethnic groups.

Apart from the Atu clan, the status of other ethnic groups was not high, but they were not regarded as slaves like the Xia clan.

However, for the Atu clan, the status of other ethnic groups was just slightly higher than that of the Xia clan, and they were still considered commoners, while the Atu clan was born with noble blood, high above, enjoying the preferential policies given by the empire, enjoying various benefits, and even receiving basic cultivation funds for free.

These treatments were unimaginable for other ethnic groups.

The struggle and hard work of other ethnic groups, their tireless efforts day and night, supported the Atu clan, enabling them to enjoy high-quality resources, and from the beginning, they were far ahead of people from other ethnic groups.

In the Atu Empire, eight or nine out of ten people with status and position were Atu clansmen.

Especially imperial positions, there was not a single person from other ethnic groups besides the Atu clan.

People from other ethnic groups could only strive for a little status in this empire through other means, but it was very difficult, and those who could stand out were all dragons and phoenixes among men.

These were all information that Jun Wuxie had learned from the memories in the sea of consciousness of the people in the city, by releasing his divine sense from the summit of the ten-thousand-meter-high mountain.

The vast city complex stretched as far as the eye could see.

Hundreds of cities, surrounded layer by layer, formed a huge circular layout, circle after circle.

The Atu imperial capital was located in the very center of such a multi-layered city circle.

"It seems that the Atu clan had some powerful talisman masters in the past."

Jun Wuxie looked at the city complex in his sight and found that it was built according to the shape of the Taiji Bagua.

Some of the cities were exactly on the Bagua positions, and those cities were relatively special, with auras beyond the Saint Realm lurking inside.

Obviously, each city located on the Bagua position had a strong person in the demigod realm sitting in it.

It was just that they were hiding very well, restraining their own aura, and it was difficult to detect unless someone like Jun Wuxie had a soul far beyond the demigod level.

He had to admit that the layout of these city complexes was really extraordinary, forming a huge Taiji Bagua formation.

Combined with the will of this continent, its power could be greatly enhanced.

Such a large formation was really strong, relying on hundreds of cities and the power of the continent's will, it had the strength to suppress and kill demigods under the accumulation of long years.

Even a demigod powerhouse like the Xia clan's totem priest would find it difficult to leave alive.

This was just the power of the great formation, if coupled with the cooperation of the Atu Empire's demigod powerhouses, its power would only be even more terrifying.

"Yue'er, let's go."

Jun Wuxie no longer stayed, and pulled Yue Yao down from the summit of the mountain.

They drew countless afterimages in the sky, disappearing with each step, and the mountains and rivers retreated under their feet.

In an instant, they came to the outermost city of the Atu Empire's imperial capital city complex.

Currently, the city in front of them was very magnificent and majestic, with a hundred-zhang-high city wall, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Under the tall and wide city gate, two teams of soldiers in armor stood in two neat rows, holding spears, with cold expressions and indifferent eyes, looking at the people entering and leaving the city.

From time to time, their eyes and expressions would become gentle, but then they would return to indifference.

Jun Wuxie found that the eyes of these soldiers guarding the city gate were gentle when people of the Atu clan entered and left the city.

If people from other ethnic groups entered and left the city, they would return to their indifferent state.

They were both people of the Atu Empire, but the discrimination and differential treatment were very obvious.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao were not far from the city gate, about several hundred meters away.

His eyes were indifferent, and a little of his aura was released, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet instantly.

In this area, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Almost instantly, everyone entering and leaving the city focused their eyes on him, especially those soldiers guarding the city gate, their eyes were as sharp as knives, and they stared over in an instant, their killing intent was blazing!

They dared to release a cold aura in front of them, it was simply courting death!

That pair of men and women were not Atu clansmen, even if they had a not-low cultivation, they should maintain a low profile and humility, daring to do so was provocation!

In this empire, who was noble and who was lowly was destined from birth, and if they did not recognize their identity, they would easily die young.

As those soldiers thought of this, they saw that the pair of men and women were walking towards the city gate, and were already very close.

The released cold aura made them feel a serious discomfort.

"Bold commoners, you actually do not know respect, committing offense as lowborn against the noble!"

A captain walked over, his eyes extremely cold.

There were actually commoners who dared to provoke them like this in front of them!

"Take them down for me and escort them to the Tribunal!"

The captain raised the corner of his mouth, his face full of sneer.

No one dared to oppose the empire, no matter who he was.

Today, this pair of men and women dared to do so, and their ending was already destined.

A group of soldiers holding spears rushed up, surrounded Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao, and sharp spear points stabbed over.

A large number of people around watched, whether they were leaving the city or entering the city, they all stopped at this moment.

Faced with these Atu Empire soldiers who wanted to capture him, Jun Wuxie did not have any counterattack, only treating them as if they did not exist.

He still pulled Yue Yao towards the city.

When those spears were about to stab them, the blood energy overflowing from his body spread out like gentle waves.

Suddenly, all the spears were blown away, and the rushing soldiers were all blown away, spitting blood in the air, their bones broken and tendons fractured, and they could hardly get up after landing.

Jun Wuxie had already shown mercy, otherwise, these soldiers would have already been reduced to ashes and turned into bloody mud.

"Bold commoner, are you rebelling?"

The captain was furious, shouting loudly, putting on a brave face, his eyes fierce.

However, when he came into contact with Jun Wuxie's eyes, his body couldn't help but shake.

"Go and tell the person in charge of this city, I want to go to the imperial capital, do not stop me, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Jun Wuxie just glared slightly, and the captain was directly blown away by an invisible force, spraying blood all the way, his muscles cracked with many openings, almost disintegrating on the spot.

He was horrified!

Since ancient times, no one has dared to do this!

What was this behavior, openly challenging the authority of the empire?

He was both afraid and angry, and quickly ran his life essence to repair his injured body, while quickly running towards the City Lord's Mansion.

He knew that he had encountered a crazy person who was not afraid of death today, and also a powerful crazy person.

He was impossible to fight against him, he did not have that strength at all, he must report to the City Lord's Mansion and let the adults of the City Lord's Mansion capture and kill that commoner!

Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao entered the city, and a large number of troops appeared, surrounding them.

However, the spears in the hands of those troops were shaking, and they did not dare to attack him at all.

They just surrounded him, and as Jun Wuxie moved forward, the troops surrounding him in front also retreated, always maintaining a distance.

In front of the buildings on both sides of the street, and in those houses, countless eyes focused on Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao, and those troops who seemed to be surrounding them but did not dare to step forward.

Most of them looked excited.

They were waiting to see a good show!

For the Atu Empire, most of these people did not have any sense of belonging.

All those in power in the empire were Atu people, and in the eyes of the Atu people, they were just low-level commoners, without any dignity.

Whoever loves such an empire can love it!

They had long wanted to get rid of it, but the continent was vast, but there was no place for them to live, and they did not dare to leave the Atu Empire at all. Once they left, they would be pursued and captured, and then become slaves even lower than commoners, or even be publicly executed!

Just then, talisman light appeared in the sky, and a beam of light fell down, enveloping Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao.

Immediately afterwards, the runes in the sky turned dark red, as red as blood, making people feel palpitations.

"Outsiders! They are actually extraterritorial visitors!"

Just when everyone showed surprise, a cold, murderous voice sounded from a certain area in the city.

Almost at the same time, the owner of the voice appeared.

A middle-aged man, looking to be in his forties, was very burly, with a face full of stubble, wearing high-level armor, and holding a halberd.

"That people from beyond the realms dare to run wild again, truly courting death!"

After that person appeared, his gaze instantly locked onto Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao, captivated by Yue Yao's beauty.

However, he was, after all, a powerful figure in the military, and although deeply amazed in his heart, he did not lose his composure.

The war戟 in his hand was swung, forming a rainbow stretching tens of thousands of meters in the air.

That was 戟芒!

With one strike, he cleaved through the sky, the 戟芒 dazzling and filled with killing intent, causing everyone to feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar in an instant.

Immediately following, an extremely scorching aura permeated the air, making people feel unbearably hot, as if they were in a sea of fire!

The coldness was caused by the murderous aura, while the heat was due to the cultivation method practiced by the Atu people.

A palm radiating chaotic golden light stretched out, its fingers like immortal divine gold, obliterating the killing芒 released by the war戟 with irresistible force, causing the pupils of the powerful military figure who attacked to constrict violently.

Just as he was about to launch a second attack, he didn't expect that the palm had already arrived before him.

He found that he could not move, imprisoned by the laws released by the palm.

In the next moment, the powerful military figure who attacked roared, and Jun Wuxie's blood energy palm grabbed his neck and brought him forward.

At this moment, the army surrounding him and Yue Yao almost couldn't even hold the spears in their hands steadily.

When had these soldiers ever seen such a battle?

Their general, the powerful figure in the military of this city, was actually so vulnerable in front of this outsider!

If the general was like this, then if they attacked, they would probably turn into bloody mud in an instant.

They knew very well that if they wanted to live, they could only attack, only pretend to surround them like this.

If they didn't surround, and the higher-ups blamed them, they would inevitably be punished.

Retreating before the battle was a serious crime, even if they were all Atu people, they would still be skinned alive!

"Release this general! You outsider, you are so audacious, how dare you do this? Do you know what a miserable end you will have!"

The general was held in the air by Jun Wuxie's neck, his legs constantly kicking, struggling non-stop, but he couldn't break free.

His face was full of anger, his eyes fierce, roaring sternly.

On this outsider's body, he felt a very strong aura of danger, a threat of death.

A certain aura emanating from his body was all-pervasive, penetrating into people's hearts, making people uncontrollably feel a sense of trembling.

This caused fear to grow in his heart.

However, he knew that he must not show any fear.

This was the city of the empire, with countless eyes watching.

And he was a high-ranking general in the military of this city, representing the dignity of the empire's soldiers. If he showed fear, wouldn't he be embarrassing the empire's soldiers?

In that case, even if he died, his family would not be able to hold their heads up. They would be criticized and taken advantage of by competitors!
