The Magus Era

Chapter 284 – The war between Emperors

In the air above the Chi Ban Mountain, around a billion feet above the ground, were two magnificent floating mountains. Both were over ten-thousand zhangs tall and had radiuses of over a hundred miles. And even though the two floating mountains faced each other, they were far away from each other.

One of the floating mountains seemed primitive and simple, filled with naturally crafted cliffs and mountains, as well as ancient, towering trees that were coiled around by thick vines. Streams of crystal clear spring water ceaselessly gushed out of a spring hole and flowed on the floating mountain along a coiling stream, after which they turned into different sized waterfalls on the edge of the floating mountain, falling onto the Midland world.

On the peak of the mountain, on top of craggy gigantic rocks, nearly a thousand tall and muscular men were standing. They were either wearing roughly sewed leather capes, or had bare upper bodies. Coiled around their bodies were either huge serpents or nimble magical snakes. Some of these men even had flood dragons or fierce wild tigers coiled on the ground behind them. Others were accompanied by powerful, legendary creatures such as Peacocks, Cyan Phoenixes and Great Gale birds.

Each of these men were releasing an extremely dense and strong sense of power, which gave a feeling similar to magnificent mountains and boundless oceans. Their eyes were sparkling like stars, and behind their bodies, all kinds of natural element-related phenomenon were clearly visible.

Three thousand miles away, the other floating mountain looked incomparably beautiful and exquisite. The entire mountain was entirely jade-like, pure white without so much as a single flaw. Every piece of rock was carefully crafted by a master craftsman, and entirely covered in seemingly naturally-formed spell symbols.

This floating mountain was filled with all kinds of perfectly designed sceneries. Beside the small trail that wriggled up to the peak, were fresh plants, blooming flowers and streams. Every single petal, leaf, branch, stone, water, the shadows or even the sand were extremely exquisite and well designed. All these elements formed an amazingly beautiful, heaven-like scene that was beyond any description.

Tens of magnificent palaces were located on the mountain side. All of these palaces were made of pure gold, silver and other rare, expensive materials, and casted with a single mould, without so much as a single joint. These palaces were all thickly decorated with large gemstones and magic crystals, brightly shining under the rays of the sun.

With those dazzlingly shining palaces, this exquisite and beautiful floating mountain seemed even more glorious, even more ravishing and unimaginably beautiful.

In the front of those palaces were groups of young and beautiful girls. They were wearing long and pretty dresses, which didn’t cover their shoulders and arms. Now and then they would chase each other while chuckling, causing their dresses to flutter in the air, showing their perfectly shaped legs. Outside the front gates of these palaces one could see large groups of armoured warriors and even more beautiful girls.

Whether it were the Jia Clan warriors or the Yu Clan warriors among these warriors, all were carefully selected for the special purpose of guarding these palaces. These warriors all had the exact same height and body shapes, as if they were forged from the same mould. All of them hadespecially handsome, pretty and carefully embellished faces. Alll fine hairs were shaved off and every single eyebrow was brushed meticulously as well.

The armours worn by them were well designed for both defensive and ornamental functions. But apparently, those designers and craftsmen had paid more attention to the exhibitive and ornamental function of these armours. Every single armour had completely different patterns, which were all kinds of magical, rare plants, legendary animals or buildings, cities and natural sceneries. All of these patterns were exquisitely embossed on their armours by master craftsmen, then carefully decorated with gem stones of different colours and sizes.
