Skyscraping Ancestral Land

Ancestral land of the Primordial Devils in the Skyscraping World
Two huge mountains appeared as they were walking. They formed a natural gate. Here, Yue Xiaoqian let go of Long Chen’s hand and her expression grew solemn.
Yue Xiaoqian and Long Chen passed through the two mountains. After a dozen miles, they reached a giant palace. It was an ancient palace, one that was grand and imposing. Although some areas were damaged and some looked like they had been patched, that did not hide its sacred air.
There was a statue of the original devil ancestor.
== Murals ==
Once they were past the statue, they entered a long corridor. The two sides of the corridor were filled with ancient murals. Many of them were motley, and some places had been damaged too badly to be understood. However, nothing had been repaired at all. They were still in their original form.
“These murals were carved by the ancestors of my race. However, so much time has passed, and it’s unknown just how many wars the Skyscraping World has gone through. This is the place enemies wanted to destroy, so some places are already incomplete. The material used to create these carvings is very precious, and the ancestors’ wills and divine charm are still present within them. With our current level, it’s impossible to restore them, so we don’t even dare to try,” sighed Yue Xiaoqian. Her voice contained respect for those ancestors, as well as sadness for the original devil race’s decline.
“Things decline and prosper. When things get so bad that they can’t get any worse, they can only get better,” comforted Long Chen.
=== NSHBA resonance ===
The murals here were mostly of scenes of the original devil race fighting against the devil creatures. There were all kinds of devil creatures depicted in the murals.
The number of different creatures shown numbered in the tens of thousands. Some were as large as mountains, while some were as tiny as flies. There were mountains of corpses depicted. Some were the devil creatures, while some were warriors from the original devil race. It was a bloody and cruel sight.
They quickly reached the end of the corridor, and there, Long Chen saw a scene that made his heart shake.
It was a giant mural, with millions of the original devil race’s experts kneeling on the ground. Their leader was a beautiful woman, also kneeling, her hands crossed before her. She was looking up, her expression sacred.
A brush was pressed against her forehead, leaving behind a seven-colored divine rune. That divine rune was the Devil character.
Long Chen instantly understood that this Devil character, this divine rune, was not innate to the original devil race. It was something that had been bestowed upon them.
What was truly shocking though was that the person holding the brush had nine stars behind him. The nine stars were unleashing brilliant divine light, and even through the mural, Long Chen felt a terrifying pressure that transcended through time.
Regretfully, the divine light was too bright, it was blinding. Those nine stars were like blazing suns, and their light drowned out the appearance of that person. Long Chen could only see a single hand through that light.
The hand was also covered in divine light and difficult to see clearly. It was hard to even say whether it belonged to a man or a woman.
Upon looking at those nine stars, Long Chen’s aura began to slowly rise. The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art began to circulate on its own.
Long Chen closed his eyes and felt a kind of summons. Perhaps he would be able to learn some secrets relating to the nine stars.
Regretfully, when he opened his eyes, that feeling of being summoned had vanished. The nine stars in the mural were the same and he felt a resonance, but all he had was a close feeling with them, a feeling like coming from the same source.
“Who is this person? Can you say?” asked Long Chen.
Yue Xiaoqian merely shook her head.
Long Chen nodded. Many things were forbidden. But looking at this mural, it seemed the original devil race’s divine mark had been bestowed to them by this person.
He examined the person. The nine stars revolving around them threw the laws of heaven and earth into chaos. They were so powerful that they could penetrate the cosmos. It was as if all things had to bow down before them.
Although it was just a mural and the leftover artistic will was from the original devil race’s experts, Long Chen still felt that compared to the entire cosmos, he was an incredibly insignificant speck of dust. The two of them were in different dimensions, and it was impossible to compare their power.
“Is this the realm that is obtained when all nine stars are activated?” Long Chen sighed. Without seeing the real thing, he couldn’t learn anything. The nine stars were too brilliant.
This was just a mural. Hence, Long Chen only felt a slight feeling but was unable to understand anything from it.
=== Divine seal ===
“The divine seal, the Devil character, was awarded to us by a supreme existence. It is an immense honor, as well as an immense responsibility. After countless years of fighting against the devil race, our divine seal has a great suppressive effect against them. That’s why I could help you suppress those Empyrean Winged Blood Devils. However, I’m too weak, and using my divine seal on such a scale exhausts all my energy. I can only keep it up for a short moment. If it had been my mom instead, then with just her divine seal, she could have annihilated all those Empyrean Winged Blood Devils in an instant.”
Yue Xiaoqian smiled proudly when she spoke of her mother. Clearly, she worshipped her mother.
“But then, why didn’t anyone use their divine seals against the Magical Beasts just now? Did you not permit them to use it for training purposes?” asked Long Chen.
Yue Xiaoqian shook her head. “No. Magical Beasts are not part of the devil race. Their bloodlines are completely different, so Magical Beasts are not suppressed by our divine seal. Let’s keep going. The Ten Thousand Devil Blood Pool is up ahead.”
