Online game: Basic attacks increase strength; the greater the power, the more powerful it is!

Karl, panting heavily, recovered from the near-death experience.

His wrinkled old face was now filled with relief and shock at surviving the ordeal.

"Young man, well done!"

Jun Heng did not answer, but simply waved his hand and turned his gaze to the circular sky above the eye of the storm.

The eye of the storm was calm, with a gentle breeze carrying the two of them into the air as if there were no gravity.

How long will it take to reach Stormrage?

Upon hearing Jun Heng's question, Karl calculated something with his withered fingers.

"At the speed at which this raging tornado is flying, it will take about a day."

"Let's stay safe in the eye of the storm for now."

Jun Heng nodded, then, after a moment's thought, he looked at Karl and said.

Upon hearing this, Karl's eyes flickered slightly, and he slowly spoke.

"The origins of the City of Storms are even older than those of this Eastern Kingdom."

"It is said that it existed in the Riftwind Plains even before the kingdom was established."

"There are many rumors about this city. Some say it is the palace left behind by the wind god in the human world, while others say it is a refuge built by an ancient mage in a desperate situation."

Carlton paused, then continued.

"But after all these years, I heard a different story from a dying explorer."

"What do you mean?" Junheng pressed.

A glint of light flashed in Karl's cloudy old eyes.

"The explorer said that the City of Storms was neither the palace of the wind god nor a refuge for mages."

"It was a prison built by the ancients."

"Prison?" Junheng raised an eyebrow.

"That's right." Karl nodded.

"A prison used to imprison a certain kind of being."

"The reason that city was built in the deepest part of the Riftwind Plains, and the reason why the raging wind tornadoes were the only means of transportation."

"It's to prevent things inside from escaping, and also to prevent things outside from getting in."

Jun Heng narrowed his eyes, quickly pondering the meaning of this information.

"What about the star map teleportation array?" he asked.

"You said it's hidden somewhere in the Riftwind Plains, could it also be related to this prison?"

"Yes, the ancient people who built the City of Fury were very likely related to a certain god."

"And that star map teleportation array might be their escape route."

"You also know from that stone tablet that the Tower of God is not on our continent."

"Besides connecting to the Tower of God, the Star Map Teleportation Array may also connect to places where ancient people once lived."

Jun Heng nodded thoughtfully.

As the two chatted casually, the day gradually passed.

"We're almost there."

Suddenly, Karl spoke, his voice tinged with barely concealed excitement.

Jun Heng opened his eyes and followed Karl's gaze to look at the storm ahead.

Through the rapidly spinning wind wall, a blurry outline could be vaguely seen on the distant horizon.

The outline was initially just a small black dot.

But as the raging tornado moved forward at great speed, the black dot was growing larger at a visible rate.

That was a city.

A colossal city standing deep within the Riftwind Plains.

The city wall was constructed entirely of a dark blue stone, and its surface was covered with dense runes.

The runes glowed with a faint blue light in the dim light of the day, like countless eyes gleaming in the darkness.

The city wall is hundreds of meters high, like a giant wall stretching between heaven and earth, completely isolating everything inside the city from the outside world.

The most awe-inspiring thing is the enormous barrier that envelops the entire city.

The barrier was hemispherical, like an inverted giant bowl, enveloping the entire city.

The surface of the barrier shimmered with a pale blue light, rippling like water, exuding an ancient and resilient aura.

Countless fine runes moved across the surface of the barrier, each flash causing a slight tremor in the air.

"That is... the City of Storms."

Karl's voice came through the howling wind, carrying an almost reverent awe.

Jun Heng stood in the eye of the storm, his gaze fixed intently on the giant city.

He could sense that the atmosphere emanating from that city was completely different from any other place he had ever been before.

It wasn't the majesty of a kingdom, nor the antiquity of the dragon race, but rather a deeper, more oppressive aura.

"Prepare to withstand the impact!"

As the raging tornado approached the giant city, Karl roared and suddenly formed hand seals.

hum!

The ancient tree spirit phantom behind him suddenly expanded, and countless emerald green vines emerged from the phantom, wrapping around Jun Heng and Karl, firmly fixing them in the eye of the storm.

next second.

boom!!!

The raging tornado slammed violently into the massive barrier.

In that instant, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble violently.

The raging tornado dissipated at that moment, and countless gusts of wind, like out-of-control beasts, splashed wildly in all directions, cutting countless dark cracks into the void.

The pale blue barrier suddenly erupted with an extremely dazzling light under the impact of the raging tornado.

Countless runes emerged from the surface of the barrier like living things, breaking down and dissolving the violent impact layer by layer.

Rumble!

The deafening roar lasted for more than a dozen breaths before gradually subsiding.

The moment the raging tornado dissipated, Jun Heng and Karl were propelled into the barrier by the immense inertia.

The whistling wind vanished instantly, and the two found themselves standing on solid ground.

Within the barrier, the city was finally fully revealed to Jun Heng.

The city was much larger than he had imagined.

Inside the city walls are buildings of varying heights.

Some are made of blue stone, while others are cast from black metal.

Some buildings are covered with dense vines and moss, as if they have existed for countless centuries.

The streets are narrow and winding, crisscrossing the city like a maze.

In the very heart of the city stands a towering black tower that seems to pierce the clouds.

The tower was entirely black, with no decorations on its surface.

Only one dark red rune stretched from the bottom of the tower to the top, like a giant snake spiraling upwards.

A fist-sized, dark red gem is embedded at the top of the tower. Inside the gem flows a viscous light like blood, emanating an aura that sends chills down one's spine.

"The star map teleportation array should be inside that tower."

Karl's voice came from beside him, slightly hoarse.

Junheng turned his head and saw Karl standing beside him, his wrinkled old face filled with a complex expression.

There was excitement, nervousness, and an indescribable sense of apprehension.

"Halt, outsider!"

However, just as the two were about to take a step, a cold and sharp shout suddenly rang out.
