Chapter 616: City Filled With Corpses
This was a period of chaos. The imperial rule was unstable after the coronation of the empress. Rebellions were rampant everywhere, so was the smoke of war.
Not only was the cultivation world in shambles, but the same thing also happened in the mortal land. Wails of lament pervaded the world.
The dragons have finally started devouring heaven.
The great powers decided to claim sovereignty over their regions and started recruiting cultivators in order to rise above all others.
The weaker powers could only take over a village or a town. Some chose the mountains and decided to become local kings.
This was an unprecedented time of chaos in Jin. The regional institutions divided the land. The laws and orders became empty and meaningless. One could kill blood and murders everywhere.
Heaven’s Equal Mountain Range, on the other hand, maintained a trace of peace. Refugees started running deeper in the mountains in order to find the legendary auspicious grounds of the immortals in order to escape.
They didn’t know that the competitions between cultivators were even crueler and fierce.
Many sects could be massacred overnight, not even a chicken would be spared. Their female disciples would be forced into wretched prostitution; the males shackled and bound into slavery.
A feast for the strong while the weak laments.
Up high among this range was a path spanning for 80,000 miles, leading to a citadel of steel.
It was built from blocks of black metals. Each piece weighed a million pounds, resulting in a mountain-like structure.
