When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1349 - 864: Half a City

The city that suddenly appeared in front of them looked exactly like the City of No Pretense.

But soon, Xiang Beifei suddenly frowned.

"No, this is not the City of No Pretense."

He was still quite familiar with the City of No Pretense. Although the aura was similar, many parts of the city walls were still different.

It could only be said that it belonged to the same category as the City of No Pretense.

Everyone quickly noticed this point, since both Xiaohei and Erha had rolled around in the City of No Pretense during that time, they were too familiar with the appearance of the city.

"Do you think there might be a City Lord like Uncle Melancholy inside?" Xiaohei asked excitedly.

"Hard to say."

Xiang Beifei leaped upward a distance, looking down on the city from above.

But immediately they were all stunned.

Because this was not a complete city, but a half-city!

It was as if some great power had forcibly blasted the city in half, and the houses inside were all in ruins.

"This... this city is also shattered?" Xiaohei exclaimed in surprise.

"Wait, wasn’t Uncle Kongcheng so powerful? How could the city still be shattered?" Erha asked.

"This is not the City of No Pretense!" Youmong corrected.

"But this city is of the same type as the City of No Pretense, right? Look at that momentum, that shape, even if it’s not the City of No Pretense, it belongs to the same category, doesn’t it?" Erha pointed at the half city in front of them.

This was indeed true.

When they first saw the City of No Pretense, they always felt that the city seemed to be alive, dormant there and breathing steadily, like an ancient beast lying in wait, ready to spring.

The half-city in front of them, though lacking the oppressive feeling the City of No Pretense gave them, did not appear as a dead city, rather like a giant beast on the edge of death, struggling to breathe.

In other words, it was as if the City of No Pretense had been attacked, and Xiang Beifei was sure that this half-city should have been the same as the City of No Pretense once upon a time!

They knew the City of No Pretense was formidable, a place where even high-level masters in the Ancestral Dao Realm bombarded with various Heavenly Dao Laws couldn’t budge it, thick-skinned and robust, yet the half-city of the same level in front of them was shattered just like that?

"What kind of force can smash a city of this magnitude?" Youmong exclaimed.

"Fool, didn’t Uncle Kongcheng already say it, the power of chaos!" Erha replied.

Xiaohei asked, "Should we check out the half-city? I feel like there’s some strange aura inside."

"You feel it?"

"Yes, it’s just my feeling, but I can’t be sure what it is." Xiaohei nodded.

Xiang Beifei pondered for a moment and said, "Then let’s check it out."

He must first figure out what is special about this place; the situation is unclear for now, but since Xiaohei has a clue, they should follow it.

Xiang Beifei cast all the Heavenly Dao Laws he could confirm upon himself to ensure absolute security before cautiously flying toward the city.

This time the city didn’t drift away from them as if it was merely drifting aimlessly, allowing them to reach its edge easily.

Xiang Beifei didn’t go in immediately. The last time they went to the City of No Pretense and came out was actually quite fortunate, but this place is different; not sure if this half-city is friend or foe, he must be cautious.

He reached out a palm, placed it on the half-city, and sent the power of the Heavenly Dao Laws through, searching for any anomalies within the half-city.

But he perceived nothing.

The Heavenly Dao Laws affected a slightly distant area, and Xiang Beifei lost control over them, as if they sank into the sea with no signal returning.

"It’s the power of chaos."

Xiang Beifei sensed the force of the primordial beginning, but beyond that, he could also feel other chaotic and powerful forces he couldn’t identify specifically.

He hesitated for a moment, then withdrew the Heavenly Dao power and, following the city wall, landed on the wall, overlooking the scene within the half-city.

Inside lay desolation and ruins, more decrepit than the City of No Pretense; some places were leveled, with not a single intact house remaining.

And within this city, several clouds of mist of different colors swirled. These mists were the forces of chaos but did not actively attack Xiang Beifei.

Yet, at this moment, there suddenly came a howling sound from all around, penetratingly harsh and powerful, even piercing through the protection of Xiang Beifei’s Heavenly Dao Laws and coming straight at him!

"This is—the sound of the Withered Spirit at the End!"

Xiang Beifei realized. When he was repelled in Houtu, the ancestral jade piece he took out was the Withered Spirit at the End, and its sound was exactly like the one now!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Before Xiang Beifei could think more, he felt the surrounding space seemed to twist and turn, the various colored mists gathering into some strange shapes, not like humans, nor any animal he could name, but strange glows appeared.

These glows gathered together, like numerous eyes hidden within the mists, and within an instant, these glows surged toward Xiang Beifei!

Xiang Beifei did not hesitate; he immediately condensed a series of powerful Heavenly Dao Laws before himself, the protective Heavenly Dao Laws known as [Recoil in Fear], an amplified version of his Tail Constellation capability.

This Recoil in Fear at the level of Heavenly Dao Laws could make everything come to a halt, even spiritual power attacks, extremely powerful.
