Chapter 294: The Remains of a Meteorite

Some professionals who thought they were strong enough to get a piece of the pie in this feast, or who planned to fish in troubled waters, had already set off overnight and rushed to Magna Province by various means.

Of course, due to the advantage brought by the prophecy, the first to arrive, or to say that they had been waiting at the point where the meteorite fell, were people from the Gloria Royal Family, the Continental Magic Council, the Holy Light Church and other forces.

However, after all, they were located in the territory of the Gloria Empire, so people from other forces symbolically hid their identities.

As the ruler of Magna Province, the Enoch family's foundation cannot be compared with these real top forces on the continent, but after all, they have the advantage of geographical location and also arrived at the scene before the meteorite light fell to the ground.

At the moment when the huge meteorite hit the earth, two ninth-level extreme powerhouses of the Enoch family made a full-scale attack, directing most of the destructive force generated by the falling meteorite into the sky, minimizing the damage caused by the aftermath of the impact.

However, when the light of the meteorite faded, what appeared in the huge impact crater with a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers was beyond the expectations of almost everyone.

That star was not a special and precious alchemical material/extraterrestrial being/source of disaster as most people guessed, but an extremely vast and ruined city!

A huge platinum-colored ancient tower stood in a corner of the city, half of which had been torn apart by some force. The stone buildings were covered with cracks and signs of erosion, but one could still vaguely see their former elegance and magnificence.

Although it had just experienced an unimaginable huge impact, most of its architectural structures were still strangely well preserved, as if some force was always protecting it.

However, after taking a closer look at the city, the eyes of many professionals present suddenly had some unclear meanings.

In contrast, the expressions of the wizards of the Continental Magic Council became extremely solemn.

It’s not that the ruined city is so twisted and terrifying, but that unique sense of familiarity.

The architectural style of this ruined city is so similar to the floating city of the Magic Council that it seems as if they were designed by the same designer!

And considering the way it appeared by falling from the night sky, it is not difficult for people to come up with a shocking and bold guess.

This is most likely the remains of a floating city! If this is really as everyone speculates, then things will become interesting.

Today, the Yar Continent is no longer like it was during the heyday of the ancient magic empire, with nine floating cities hanging high in the sky.

Except for the only intact sky city in the hands of the Continental Magic Council, the other eight had already disappeared in the long river of history with the Day of Destruction.

The power of the Sky City was already proven in a devastating war.

At first, when the Magic Council had just repaired the floating city, the Saint Messia Empire and the Gloria Empire believed that the floating city, as the supreme magical creation of the ancient magic empire, would be an unstable factor if it was wandering outside, and both hoped to reclaim it.

The Magic Council flatly rejected the demands of the two empires, so the two empires directly sent troops to attack.

Saint Messiah I dispatched an elite army of judges led by several ninth-order extreme priests to the location of the floating city, which is the Mournful Forest in the west of the Itel Federation.

Gloria II dispatched high-level elite troops such as the Sky Knights and the Royal Mage Corps, led by three ninth-level warriors, and slowly advanced towards the floating city.

But secretly, the Empire sent out a secret team consisting of several ninth-level warriors, including two ninth-level extreme mages, with the intention of directly gaining control of the floating city and transferring it back to the Empire.

Before the war was about to break out, several lone ninth-level warriors went to the vicinity of the floating city, trying to see if there was any opportunity to fish in troubled waters after the war broke out.

The 26th day of the Frostfall month, the 452nd year of the Glorious Calendar.

The Inquisition arrives at the floating city and a devastating war breaks out between the two sides.

It is known in history as the Battle of Silver Sand Sea.

The war lasted for a day and a night, and the sky above the battlefield became extremely pure, without a trace of clouds.

The surface within hundreds of kilometers turned into fine silver-white sand, and the light of magic and divine arts illuminated the entire sky.

The Lone Ninth-Rank Warrior who was waiting nearby had already retreated far away to avoid being affected by the aftermath.

The result of this battle was beyond everyone's expectations: the Judgment Army returned in defeat, with their numbers reduced by 20%, and one ninth-rank priest died.

Several ninth-level warriors who watched the war publicly stated that they would no longer plan to attack the floating city.

In this war, the secret ninth-level team sent by the empire never showed up.

But at a certain moment, the slowly marching imperial troops suddenly changed their formation and marched back to the empire at a completely different speed from when they came, without making any comments on the outcome of the war.

The Free Federation of Itel announced that after friendly negotiations between the top leaders of the Federation and the Magic Council, the two sides successfully resolved previous misunderstandings and reached a deep strategic cooperative relationship.

The Federation recognizes that the territorial sovereignty of the Silver Sand Sea within hundreds of kilometers centered on the floating city belongs entirely to the Magic Council.

After the battle of Silver Sand Sea, all the forces on the continent had truly witnessed the terrifying power of the floating city, and they had developed a strong desire for it. There was even a brief craze for searching for the remains of the floating city.

After all, there were nine sky cities in the ancient magic empire. Even if the Magic Council found one, there were still eight that were missing! The three empires also secretly offered a sky-high reward, no matter who you were or what your previous identity was.

As long as they could bring any news about the whereabouts of the floating city and it was confirmed, they would directly obtain a ninth-level title, territory, and cultivation resources that would guarantee their strength to the ninth level! However, in the next few hundred years, no one on the entire continent gained anything, and several pieces of news that were difficult to distinguish between true and false were eventually proven false, and the craze gradually faded away.

But now, the ruined city before their eyes has once again made the minds of all the major forces become active.

The remains of a new ownerless sky city! If it could be repaired and raised into the sky again, it would indeed be enough to disrupt the current situation of the entire continent.

In fact, with the current level of development of magic on the continent, more than 90 percent of the magical structures of the Sky City can be perfectly restored.

The reason why all the major forces are still so keen on finding the wreckage is precisely because no one can restore the most critical core of the Sky City.

The synonym of miracle, the source of infinite magic power - the Eternal Core

The fall of this relic can cause the entire continent's web of destiny to vibrate, which means that the eternal core in this relic is very likely to be well preserved! At this moment, in everyone's perception, the power of destiny that enveloped the city during the fall has gradually dissipated, and only the faint residual heat generated by the friction of the meteorite in the air remains in the air.

After looking at each other vigilantly from a distance, everyone did not delay any longer and quickly turned into streams of light and rushed into the city.

Although they were in the enemy camp, no one took action yet. Because there were too many ninth-level masters present, a rash move could easily cause a chain reaction and lead to siege by others.

Moreover, this piece of city ruins is only a small part of the two halves of the meteorite fragments, and it is not certain whether it contains the Eternal Core.

It won’t be too late to take action until you really discover it.
