Library of Heaven 2 Destiny Eternal

Chapter 549 Ancient City
"Stronger than me... probably a royal-level expert!"

King Xuanjia realized what was happening.

The fact that she felt this way clearly meant that the other party was far more powerful than her.

"Don't worry about who I am, I just can't stand your despicable behavior!" Zhang Xuan said forcefully.

Bang!
Yan Yang Wang's body was instantly blasted into pieces. With a thought, Zhang Xuan tried to collect the dissipated power into the Suspended Realm, only to find that he had missed his target.

The opponent's power vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed.

Just as they were wondering what was going on and were about to search for him, the Xuanjia King, who was not far away, arrived in front of them, bowing and clasping his hands in greeting.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior..."

"It was nothing, no need to be so polite!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand casually.

Only upon closer inspection could one truly see the appearance of this Xuanjia King. She was indeed a beauty among beauties. Her tight-fitting armor perfectly outlined her tall and slender figure, and the bloodstains on her fair face added to her alluring charm.

"May I ask... which kingdom are you from, senior? And why have you suddenly come to our Eastern Region?"

Seeing him looking at her, King Xuanjia did not show the shyness of an ordinary woman, but looked back with a puzzled expression.

"I was just passing by..."

Zhang Xuan naturally couldn't reveal his identity, so he asked in return, "I came here to hunt down the enemy. Did you see four people passing by here a few days ago? They were a young man, a kind-speaking old man, a Buddha, and a powerful demon."

"No……"

King Xuanjia pondered for a moment and shook his head: "These past few days we have been preparing for the battle against King Yanyang and have not noticed any experts coming over."

Zhang Xuan was not surprised.

He had entered the Divine Realm of Destiny several times, mostly through random teleportation, so it was normal that the other party hadn't seen him before. For him, the most urgent task was to find the core of this level and find a way to enter the next level, and this Xuanjia King should be the most suitable person to question.

"I wonder... what is the reason for this battle? Where is the true center of the war?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuan asked.

"Reporting to Senior, my feud with King Yanyang stems from regional friction..." King Xuanjia quickly recounted the details he knew.

King Xuanjia and King Yanyang were both regional overlords who controlled their respective territories. Normally, they would keep to themselves and not interfere with each other. However, in recent years, King Yanyang had been instigated by someone and had been invading the border. Left with no other choice, they decided to fight to the death.

Both sides have a million troops each, and they have been fighting here. There have been no fewer than a hundred sporadic battles, and the war has lasted for more than three years.

"Three years...you're saying your war only lasted three years? Are you sure your memory hasn't been interrupted?"

Zhang Xuan looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief.

From ancient times to the present, countless tens of thousands of years have passed, which means their battle should have been ongoing. How could it have only lasted for three years?

"Of course not! Although my strength is not as good as yours, my memory is not wrong. It has been exactly three years and thirteen days since the King of Yanyang brought his army to the border!"

King Xuanjia looked arrogant.

Zhang Xuan was a little confused.

There are only two possibilities for this cognitive discrepancy. First, the Xuanjia King is lying; her memory is being clouded by some force, preventing her from detecting the true flow of time, which leads to this misunderstanding.

Secondly, they survived in this chaotic primordial domain. The war was indeed a recent event, but they had lived for countless years.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan looked over again: "I wonder... if it would be convenient for the Xuanjia King to reveal his age?"

“What’s inconvenient about that? I started learning martial arts at the age of four, and at thirty-seven, I reached the pinnacle of martial arts. I’ll be exactly 103 years old this year!” King Xuanjia smiled.

Zhang Xuan felt even more confused.

Having such strength at 103 years old shows considerable talent, but... tens of thousands of years have passed in the outside world, and you're only this old. Is the time flow in the Chaos Origin Domain different from that in the outside world, or is your memory faulty?

"Senior...do you think there's something wrong with what I said?"

Seeing his expression, King Xuanjia was slightly puzzled.

"This……"

Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still decided to tell the truth: "It's like this, actually... I come from a very distant future. According to the timeline, both you and the Flame Sun King should have already died and turned to dust..."

"That's impossible. With cultivation levels like ours, how could we not know whether someone is dead or alive?"

King Xuanjia smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for helping me kill King Yanyang. Let's celebrate together today. Whatever you want to do, or even leave, we can talk about it at dawn, shall we?"

"Well... fine then!"

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Since the only way to escape this place and enter the next level was to solve the problem at hand, Zhang Xuan was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he followed behind the Xuanjia King and flew in one direction.

Before long, a dilapidated ancient city came into view, with smoke rising from the crumbling walls, corpses everywhere, and ruined dwellings.

Clearly, the battle outside the city was intense, and the fighting here was equally fierce.

Xuanjia King: "Senior, I need to take care of things here first. Please wait here for a moment..."

Seeing that the fighting was still going on inside the city, the tall female general bowed apologetically and flew back into the city.

With a series of powerful roars, the battle quickly subsided, followed by cries and sounds of regrouping.

Knowing that this was a commotion that occurred near the end of the war, Zhang Xuan didn't bother to get involved any further and waited quietly.

Four full hours passed, and it was almost dawn when King Xuanjia finally returned, looking apologetic: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, senior. Please come and rest in my Xuanjia Palace!"

"Mm!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

Following behind the other party, they flew into the city, and soon a spacious palace came into view.

Despite the passage of ten thousand years, the buildings have not changed much and look very luxurious, completely different from the scene outside the city.

Stepping inside, although it lacked the opulence and grandeur of the women's quarters, it was clean and tidy, offering a tranquil and enjoyable experience.

"Senior, please rest here for a while. There are still many things to take care of after killing the Flame King. I will try my best to return before dawn..."

King Xuanjia clasped his hands in a fist salute once more.

"Go ahead!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

King Xuanjia nodded, then turned and flew away into the distance.

The surroundings were quiet, with no servants or soldiers attending to him. As Zhang Xuan's divine sense spread out, he was just about to see what the Xuanjia King was so eager to do when he suddenly froze.

Not far from the palace, a burly man, holding a long spear, quietly followed behind a group of people, patrolling silently.

"Erniu? Wasn't he dead?"

The person who appeared in Zhang Xuan's line of sight was none other than Erniu, the guy who had been killed by the Flame Sun King before and who had been longing to marry Sanya!
