Chapter 606: Chapter 501: Golden City, Who is Calling Me?_2
"It’s a wonderful feeling, as if one can really transcend countless calamities and achieve liberation!"
"But it’s just an illusion after all!"
"Only the liberation of the soul is true liberation!"
Sukhacara Sage also lifted his head, murmuring to himself.
In his sight.
The Golden City and the Silver City moved slowly, like the sun walking across the sky, flying straight into the dark expanse, becoming smaller and smaller until they vanished from Earth.
Boom!
The two cities tore through the void, charging straight toward the Mortal Realm.
Across the Four Great Continents, many races, many nations, many kings, many warriors, and many subjects all looked up, watching the two gigantic cities.
The golden light was like the great sun, and the silver light was like moonlight.
Whoosh!
The lights of both cities merged, cascading down upon the Mortal Realm.
"What a marvelous radiance!"
"This is what devotion yields! This is the convergence of great asceticism! I will go there, get close to it, feel it!"
"The Silver City, the radiant Silver City!"
At that moment, countless ascetics gazed intently; some were dumbfounded, some had tears streaming down their faces; some could not help but kneel, prostrating themselves on the ground; others even began to sing hymns.
"The Silver City, surrounded by clouds and mist!"
"Moonlight showers down, the pure land is elusive!"
"Oh Silver City!"
...
The praises of the Mortal Realm’s ascetics echoed through heaven and earth, as these ascetics each set out toward the Silver City.
"This is the blessing of Mahadeva, the triple city shall be eternal!"
"Hahahaha!"
[Lianmu]’s mouth curved slightly, saying cheerfully.
The Golden City continued to ascend.
Whoosh!
Glowing with gold, it flew over the Mortal Realm and eventually settled in the vast starry sky, among the bright stars, without ascending to the Heavenly Realm.
In the Heavenly Realm.
The Devas convened, each glancing downward, their faces showing astonishment.
"!!!"
Sun God Surya’s eyes narrowed, revealing a grave expression.
He shifted his body, the gold cloth on his lower arm fluttering gently, and the gold light shining from his back reflected the turmoil within him.
"These Asuras are indeed coming, bringing with them such a Golden City!"
"It’s even brighter than me!"
Sun God Surya took a deep breath, looking at the golden city with discomfort and vigilance.
"!!!"
Hearing this, the other Devas turned their attention in unison.
They directed their gazes downward, toward the vast starry sky.
In the light of the sun, the moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu, among others, the Golden City shone brilliantly, positioned right in the middle of these celestial bodies, as if it was the master of all stars, guarded by the surrounding stars.
"This city is truly magnificent and vast, sacred and eternal, as if it’s an immovable entity, yet it’s filled with the breath of Asuras!"
"It must be the Asuras inside!"
Wind God Vayu’s senses were sharp.
Inhale~
His head adorned with a headband leaned forward slightly, his nose twitching as he sniffed downwards, the breath of the wind drifting out and falling into the starry sky.
In an instant, he perceived that within the starry sky, the Golden City contained not only an eternal aura but also the hidden presence of the Asuras.
Water God Varuna felt a tightening in his heart.
He subconsciously touched the Rope, looking tense.
"What if they attack the Heavenly Realm, what shall we do?"
"We need to be careful!"
Water God Varuna said.
Fire God Agni’s gaze hardened, and he slowly raised his right hand, pointing his fingers to the sky, as a faint flame burned in the palm of his hand.
"This Golden City is definitely not simple!"
"Should we take action, to probe it a bit?"
Fire God Agni said.
Upon saying this, the Devas exchanged glances, some hesitant.
Moon God Soma frowned slightly, stealing a glance at the Golden City and thought to himself: "This Golden City is too dazzling, it has even overshadowed my beauty and radiance, I must destroy it."
Thinking thus, he stepped forward, shaking his head.
"I agree with Agni!"
"This city is no simple matter, it’s necessary for us to take action and see exactly what they’re up to!"
Moon God Soma shifted his body.
The silver armor on him sparkled, his handsome face bearing a solemn look.
"Soma is right!"
Sun God Surya clenched his fist, saying in a deep voice.
This thing that obscured his radiance was indeed very annoying, and it was imperative to remove it as soon as possible.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Devas’ eyes sharpened, their gazes converging as they looked at each other.
"Good!"
"Let’s take action together!"
"Yes, together!"
The Devas spoke in unison.
Their eyes were steely as they gazed at the triple city among the stars, their bodies radiating bursts of bright light.
The next moment, they shook their bodies and vanished from the Heavenly Realm.
Right then, the fixed stars in the night sky twinkled, and the sun, moon, and stars suddenly brightened.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Surya and Soma then appeared above the sun and the moon, respectively.
They descended here, their gazes intense.
"Since we’ve arrived first!"
"Let’s strike together!" Sun God Surya’s eyes hardened.
His figure manifested inside the sun, taking on form and transforming into a divine body, and he called out toward the distant moon.
At that time, the visage of Moon God Soma also reflected in the moon.
"Good!"
"Together, let’s bring down this city that obstructs our radiance!" said Moon God Soma.
As his voice fell, he waved his hand, and his large hand beneath the silver armguard suddenly clenched, bringing forth a Curved Saber in his grasp.
He swung the Curved Saber, and it came slashing down.
Swoosh!
A beam of silver light immediately shot out, heading straight for the Golden City.
Simultaneously, a golden light of the sun was released from Surya’s hand, resembling a gold flame burning in the void, forming into a blazing celestial horse that instantly galloped, creating a trail of fire in the void.
The attacks from Sun God Surya and Moon God Soma both lunged forward.
Whoosh!
The light of the sun and moon invaded, falling on the Golden City, silent and unnoticed.
The walls of the Golden City merely stood still, a faint gold glow emanating from them as if they were Maya’s net, quietly absorbing the two lights of the sun and moon.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Surya and Soma couldn’t help but stare, casting shocked gazes, all deeply watching the scene unfold before them.
The Golden City was so sturdy, not shaken in the slightest!
Whoosh!
At that moment, beams of light also descended.
The other Devas also arrived one by one.
"Let’s act together!" Fire God Agni declared.
As his words fell, he pushed his hands forward, and raging flames burned, turning into a pillar of fire that charged towards the Golden City.
Wind God Vayu, Water God Varuna, and others also made their moves.
Swoosh!
Surya and Soma exchanged glances.
They struck again!
At this moment, various Divine Powers entwined, elements collided, and an assortment of forces interwove, unleashing powerful waves of energy.
Boom!
But after the dazzling divine radiance dissipated, the Golden City remained as it was.
What!
At this moment, the Devas’ eyes widened, showing a grave expression.
Sun God Surya looked solemn, his body slightly trembling; Moon God Soma’s handsome face showed panic.
Water God Varuna gripped his Rope tightly, his expression somber; Fire God Agni was very vigilant; Wind God Vayu tensed his large arms, extremely anxious.
They had mentally prepared themselves earlier, but their powers were far from weak; on the contrary, after many years of honing, they had become even stronger.
Alas, it was all in vain!
"This Golden City cannot be destroyed!"
"We’d better think of a way to seal this city!"
"Why don’t we have Rahu and Ketu align their birth stars in a line, forming an ill-omened star constellation to trap this city within it," Varuna pondered.
"Good idea!"
"Let’s do that!"
Hearing his suggestion, the gods nodded slightly and then brought their hands together in prayer, summoning Rahu and Ketu.
"Om~ Praise be to Rahu, Ketu!"
"Om~ Praise be to Rahu, Ketu!"
...
Amid the repeated chants of praise, a large bearded head and a long swaying serpent tail came hurtling from afar.
"This wonderful sound of praise!"
"This sacred sound of celebration!"
"Who is summoning me?!"
Rahu blew his beard fiercely, his crescent beard instantly billowing, and Ketu with his thick long tail eagerly flew in, excited.
