Chapter 774: New Battlefield

After traversing numerous forests and hills, they arrived at a vast, desolate plain stretching as far as the eye could see.

As they walked, a white light suddenly appeared before them without warning!

Initially, everyone was highly hostile towards the sudden white light, but Xu Yang stopped them.

Xu Yang immediately ascended into the air, approaching the white light, only to discover it was not what they expected, but a very powerful elder.

The elder had a pure white beard and hair and wore a white robe, appearing like an immortal sage. Yet, he exuded an ethereal, otherworldly aura, as if from a forgotten age.

"Young people, are you from the deepest reaches of the desolation?"

Only then did Xu Yang learn from the elder that the entrance they had used to enter this space was known as "the deepest reaches of the desolation."

Xu Yang gently nodded and said, "Elder, we are outsiders, and we seek some guidance."

The elder chuckled, stroking his beard. "I understand," he said. "Tens of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye. You are not the first to enter here, but those who manage to reach me are rare individuals from the outside world. This place is actually called the Evernight Kingdom, and it is broadly divided into five independent state territories.

The place I guard is Ying Province, one of the five major territories!

My authority is limited. If you require my assistance, I can only randomly teleport you to a random point within the Ying Province region. As for whether you will meet again later, that will depend on fate."

Xu Yang was not in a hurry to have the elder teleport his team away, at least not before understanding the special rules of this so-called Evernight Kingdom.

"To be honest, Elder," Xu Yang said, "we are all prisoners from Night Cold Mountain within the Myriad Heavens World System! What we wish to know is, what is the connection between this so-called Evernight Kingdom and the three words 'Moonless Sky'?"

The elder looked deeply at Xu Yang and nodded slightly.

"To learn about Moonless Sky," the elder explained, "you must find the Kings of the five major territories and gain their trust. Only then will you be qualified to touch upon the supreme secret of Moonless Sky. I can tell you explicitly that the three words 'Moonless Sky' are the greatest taboo for the entire Evernight Dynasty! Unless you gain a King's trust, anyone who mentions these three words will be considered a prisoner and traitor by the entire region, destined to face the judgment of the most ruthless forces. If you wish to uncover this secret, you must reach the very pinnacle of the Evernight Dynasty, prove your unparalleled worth, and only then will you be qualified to delve into its supreme mystery."

Xu Yang nodded solemnly. "Thank you for your guidance, Elder," he said. "If that is the case, then please teleport us into Ying Province. It would be best if we weren't scattered too far from each other."

The elder smiled and nodded. "I can do that," he said. "However, there is one thing I must warn you about: while the five major territories all fall within the Evernight Dynasty's domain, each territory is an independent continental space. Therefore, the law systems governing each of the five territories are completely different.

In other words," he continued, "just because you can cultivate to the peak in Ying Province doesn't mean you'll thrive in the other major territories. Therefore, you must never lightly provoke anyone you meet. Perhaps they are an old fishing master or a rustic blacksmith, but they could very well be among the continent's most powerful individuals.

In summary, do not bully the weak, otherwise, you will suffer unprovoked disaster."

Everyone in Xu Yang's team nodded, and then the elder began his ritual. A milky white light fell upon each member of Xu Yang's team.

Before long, a brilliant runic array totem, resembling a mountain valley, appeared before the elder. The symbols within this array were strange glyphs that Xu Yang could not understand.

"Listen everyone," Xu Yang instructed, "After entering Ying Province, we might not meet in the same place. If we are separated, we'll need a common clue to gather again."

As Xu Yang spoke, he conjured a totem mark of three flames before everyone.

"This will be our mark to search for," he explained. "It will guide our entire team to reunite. In Ying Province, remember, after we land, you must use your individual abilities to the fullest and get as close as possible to the power of the royal family! Because the royal family is our ultimate objective, and the key to uncovering the true secret."

"Don't worry, boss," Long Kun and the others assured him, "we will definitely do as you say and strive to reunite in the shortest possible time."

Long Kun and the others each gave their assent, and once again looked at the brilliant array light conjured by the elder before them. In that instant, everyone's vision went black. When their senses and sight returned, the scene before them had completely changed.

As soon as Xu Yang landed, he found that the continental space he was in had a beautiful landscape. The only difference was that, just as the elder had said, it was truly eternal night here. The bright moon in the sky was exceptionally clear and flawless.

"Moonless Sky…" Xu Yang murmured to himself, "Why is there such brilliant moonlight here? It seems the secret contained within the words 'Moonless Sky' isn't easily uncovered. Following the elder's guidance, I must try to get opportunities to contact members of the royal family, as that might be the only way to unearth the most important secret."

Xu Yang composed himself, pulled his gaze away from the clear full moon in the sky, and carefully observed his surroundings. He found himself standing within what appeared to be the gates of a mansion.

It was a very spacious courtyard, adorned with various scenic elements, and curiously, there were guards moving about, dressed in a distinctive manner.

These guards wore wooden shoes and plain, simple robes. Each had a slightly curved long blade tucked into their waist, and even their hats were uniform in style.

Xu Yang instinctively tried to access the laws of space, but he quickly realized that the elder had not deceived him: in Ying Province, the system of Myriad Heavens' laws was completely ineffective.

That is to say, attempting to guide power fluctuations according to the Myriad Heavens' laws would yield no response whatsoever.

However, the primordial power within Xu Yang was not bound by these laws!

This was one of the greatest advantages of the primordial power system.

Whether on Yinghuo, in the Myriad Heavens Planes, or even any independent continental space, primordial power had its own unique environment for release.

Because this power did not originate from external space but from within one's own body, the sheer advantage of not being bound by space alone was enough for primordial power to stand superior among all others.
