Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 791 The Ten Legions of Cape City

"Which direction is the nearest large city?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Your Excellency, that's Cape City," the white-bearded man replied, pointing in a direction. "It's only a hundred million light-years away from there."

After saying that, the white-bearded man lowered his head and dared not look at Zhou Ze any longer.

"Lead the way—" Zhou Ze said calmly.

"Thank you for sparing my life, Your Excellency!" The white-bearded man breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he was not completely at ease. After all, Zhou Ze needed him now, but once he could see Cape City, he might just kill him.

To survive, he needed to prove his worth; his mind raced.

Without saying much, Zhou Ze, along with the white-bearded man, flew swiftly through the void in the designated direction.

"Your Excellency, you must be unfamiliar with Cape City. Would you like me to introduce it to you?" the white-bearded man asked cautiously.

Zhou Ze said calmly, "Tell me about it—"

The white-bearded man took a deep breath and said, "Ruiyang Chaos City is adjacent to the Snow Realm. Haijiao City is one of the four large cities of Ruiyang Chaos City, and it is the closest to the border of the Snow Realm—"

"Therefore, conflicts occur frequently, with wars being the most common occurrence."

Zhou Ze asked, "Why were you being chased by those puppets?"

The white-bearded man gritted his teeth and said, "It was definitely the Shuiyue family's doing. Although there's no evidence, they must have secretly contacted the Snow Realm, offering them benefits to get powerful figures from the Snow Realm to deal with me!"

Seeing Zhou Ze's expressionless face, the white-bearded man hurriedly said, "It's like this, Your Excellency, my family has a conflict with the Shuiyue family over mining issues. I never expected they would dare to secretly collude with powerful figures from the Snow Realm to deal with me!"

"Mmm." Zhou Ze nodded slightly. Conflicts of interest were commonplace, and there was nothing more to say. He didn't want to ask any more questions.

"By the way, what are the strengths of the forces in Cape City, and how strong is the strongest among them?" Zhou Ze asked again.

The white-bearded man pondered for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, there are four major forces in Cape City. Of course, the Flame Wind Guild is extraordinary. So, there are really only three major forces: the Night Shadow Guild, the City Lord's Mansion, and the White Warehouse Family."

"These three major powers each possess several Eternal Gods, making them the strongest forces. While other powers also have Eternal Gods, their overall strength is far inferior to these three!"

"There are probably around a dozen or so Eternal Gods in Cape City!"

Zhou Ze knew that the large cities on the Origin Continent possessed many Eternal True Gods, but he didn't expect so many. For a moment, he didn't want to go. But after thinking about it carefully, although the small city posed less of a threat, he couldn't make much money there either.

Yes, Zhou Ze is now only thinking about making money. Chaos Crystal is so useful, and he wonders what the effects of Cosmic Sand are.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ze immediately took out a piece of cosmic sand from the spatial equipment handed over by the white-bearded man and put it into his inner world.

"This effect is even better than in the Jin world!" Zhou Ze's eyes widened slightly. "Cosmic Sand truly lives up to its name; it contains miniature universe prototypes!"

Even the smallest microcosm is still a universe, possessing the origin of the universe. After being refined, this trace of the origin of the universe can be transformed into Zhou Ze's source power with almost no need for further transformation.

Moreover, if used to expand one's inner world, its effect is far superior to that of Chaos Crystal.

time flies.

Zhou Ze, accompanied by the white-bearded man, continued to traverse through the void when suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Is that Cape City?" Zhou Ze could already see an endless, majestic city at the far end of the direction he was flying.

This city was like a wall between heaven and earth; the height of its walls was greater than any mountain Zhou Ze had ever seen on the Origin Continent!

The majestic city was partially obscured by clouds and mist, the energy of heaven and earth condensing into a mist, making it impossible to see the end of the city, which was quite exaggerated.

Above this city, there was an incredibly astonishing sea, hidden in the clouds and mist.

"Although I knew that the large cities on the Origin Continent were extremely magnificent and huge, seeing them in person was still too shocking," Zhou Ze thought to himself.

"Your Excellency, we will arrive at Cape City soon." The white-bearded man could also see the outline of Cape City in the distance: "There are four large cities in the entire Ruiyang Chaos State. Each city is built on the Chaos Ruins. They were all built by experts of the Mechanical School. They are incredibly stable fortress cities."

"Your Excellency, you are new to Cape City and unfamiliar with the area. I am willing to guide you as a token of my gratitude for saving your life!"

At this moment, Whitebeard was filled with anxiety. If Zhou Ze agreed, it would mean that he was completely safe. If he disagreed, then his value would end there. As a powerful person, who wasn't decisive in killing? Using Zhou Ze as a shield was undoubtedly an offense to Zhou Ze.

In his view, even dying a hundred times wouldn't be enough to quell Zhou Ze's anger over his actions.

"Okay, thank you for your help—" Zhou Ze nodded slightly.

The white-bearded man immediately exclaimed excitedly, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all! I am already deeply grateful that Your Excellency has forgiven me. To serve as Your Excellency's guide is truly an honor for me and the Zhan Ying family!"

The white-bearded man wanted to say something more, but he still accepted the master, afraid of offending Zhou Ze.

He felt incredibly lucky. He had thought he was going to die, but then he unexpectedly met Zhou Ze. He had been filled with anxiety the whole way, fearing that Zhou Ze would hold him accountable for his previous offense. It would be perfectly normal for Zhou Ze to crush him with one hand.

""

But who would have thought that Zhou Ze not only didn't kill him, but also spoke to him politely and courteously? What kind of divine benefactor had he encountered?

As they flew closer, the white-bearded man followed Zhou Ze's gaze and immediately said, "Your Excellency, ahead is the west gate of Cape City. The enormous thing floating above the west gate is one of the ten great legions of Cape City—the Black Forest Legion."

""

"Mm." Zhou Ze nodded slightly.

Above the west gate of Cape City floated a colossal, jet-black mass, resembling a bamboo forest, with a true god residing within each bamboo stalk.

All the large cities in the Origin Continent have various legions, with ten legions being the standard. Each city gate is usually guarded by two legions, taking turns to protect the city.

The records of the ten legions of Cape City that cut off the Donghe River lineage also contain a little bit of information.

The Black Forest Legion is a legion-type mechanical treasure, and its value is much higher than Luo Feng's Wu-killing Wings. The number of True Gods required to drive it is also enormous.

The white-bearded man continued, "The ten legions of the Cape are each commanded by an Eternal True God, leading numerous Void True Gods and a vast number of True Gods. With the help of a super-giant mechanical treasure, their power is unified, and they even possess some of the power at the Chaos Realm level."

"Even the most ordinary soldiers in the ten legions of Cape City are at least at the ninth level of the True God realm," the white-bearded man remarked. "The ten legions, along with the Cape Guard, naturally intimidate the entire Cape City. Ordinary cities like mine also have legions, but they are far inferior to those in Cape City!"
