The walls were completed in five days.

The golden walls stained with blood and bones were only 390 feet tall. They were hardly imposing but were still a breathtaking sight.

The walls seemed to coil around the land like a giant golden dragon.

Their surfaces were as smooth as a mirror, and they were so neatly lined up that barely any gap was visible between them. However, the golden, blood-stained walls also gave off a heart-palpitating aura.

"Focus!"

In the sky, Lin Xun, who had tirelessly worked for five days and five nights, waved his sleeves as a light flashed in his eyes.

Rumble!

Strange undulations emerged as a golden pillar of light abruptly rose into the air and dashed apart the clouds.

Beautiful rune pattern after pattern suddenly began glowing on the newly completed walls, sprinkling countless specks of light from their flowing radiance.

The Ancient Wasteland Domain experts were immediately alerted.

They looked over to see thousands upon thousands of golden rainbows interweaving in the air to produce countless dao flowers that exuded peaceful and sacred auras.

Next, the image of a vast galaxy filled with stars was reflected in the sky. Millions of stars twinkled brightly within it as they endlessly circulated into the infinite darkness.

They were seeing a vision of stars in the day!

The sight stunned everyone. From afar, the scene of a golden city under the endless starry sky made it resemble a land inhabited by gods.

"To think that such a grand vision emerged from the construction of a city! This is simply the work of the gods!"

Shaohao was dumbstruck while his heart violently thundered in his chest.

Ruowu couldnt help but walk forward and gently touch the wall with her fingertip. Rune restrictions immediately emerged and spread outwards like ripples.

On closer inspection, blood-red strands that resembled mist as well as white fragments were visible within the bricks.

Ruowu mumbled, "It's beautiful and scary..."

Standing so close to the wall made her feel a compact, oppressive aura.

It was the perfect fusion of the Saint-grade forbidden array and the walls!

In the camp, the crowd of Ancient Wasteland Domain experts finally returned to their senses and couldnt help but feel excited as they burst into cheers.

From this moment, the Ancient Wasteland Camp once again possessed the City of Protection, a glorious city that had evoked a heavenly phenomenon on the day it was completed!

All of this was thanks to Lin Xun!

In the sky, Lin Xun couldnt conceal the exhaustion on his face.

Five days ago, he had single-handedly trapped and slaughtered the seven domains army and then toiled for the next five days to construct the city. The entire process had nearly depleted all of his mental strength and energy.

However, when he heard the cheers from below and looked down at the grand city under his feet, Lin Xun couldnt help but grin as his heart swelled with pride.

This was his city!

Additionally, it would serve as a bastion for all the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts!

Soon after, Lin took a deep breath and took out a number of Saint treasures. Each treasure contained several thousand trapped seven domain experts.

There was no hesitation or mercy as Lin Xun inserted the treasures into the walls with a wave of his sleeve.

Rivers of blood quickly began to flow out of the Saint treasures and soaked deep into the earth. Subsequently, countless bones poured out and filled the ground under the walls.

Every single member of the seven domains army was sacrificed to the City of Protection!

The sounds of Saints deaths began to ring in the skies again as a blood-colored curtain spread.

It was because there was no lack of Saints among the sacrifices!

The slaughter of more than a hundred thousand lives in one fell swoop would definitely make him a murderous butcher in the outside world who would be endlessly cursed for being cruel and callous.

However, Lin Xun didnt care in the slightest.

After all, the Cities of Protection belonging to their enemies had been built from the remains of their Ancient Wasteland Domain predecessors.

He had merely returned an eye for an eye.

As the saying went, a thousand-year-strong reputation could only be built from killing ones enemies and one would rather teach ones enemies to grit their teeth in hatred than have no one curse ones name.

Ruowu and Shaohao quickly realized what was happening and couldnt help but be inwardly shaken as they looked at each other.

In the camp, realization also dawned upon the rest of the Ancient Wasteland experts as an inexplicable feeling of excitement rose within them.

"Great, kill them all!"

"Nothing feels better than having them all die!"

"Thats how a true man should be!"

Loud shouts resounded across the clouds, ringing out in all directions.

Amidst the cheers and shouting, Lin Xin descended from the sky and said to Shaohao and Ruowu, "I have to take a break, Ill leave the rest to you two."

Shaohao and Ruowu smiled and replied, "Go ahead."

Lin Xun nodded.

He was exhausted and was in dire need of some rest.

Shaohao said, "Next, we should demarcate the city into districts and build accommodations for every cultivator. Ah right, we should first build a hall for Lin Xun."

Ruowu smiled and said, "Leave these small matters to me."

Shaohao nodded. After some thought, he said, "I foresee that more and more Ancient Wasteland Domain cultivators will soon hear of the news and travel here. Once the population passes a certain threshold, we should set some rules."

Ruowu frowned slightly as she sneered and said, "Before the city was built, only sixty thousand experts came to support us. How can we let them take advantage now that the city is built?"

From what she knew, there were at least three hundred thousand Ancient Wasteland experts who entered the Nine Domains Battlefield!

Although many of them had been killed by the other eight domains over the past year, there were definitely still more than sixty thousand survivors.

It was clear that many of them had not believed Lin Xun would succeed and thus didnt come to support him.

While it might have been because they were concerned about their safety, Ruowu still disliked the fact that such people would seek refuge in the City of Protection.

Shaohao chuckled in a carefree manner. "This has nothing to do with who is taking advantage of who. At the end of the day, we belong to the same camp. Moreover, who could have expected that Lin Xun would manage to withstand the enemys assault and succeed in rebuilding the City of Protection?"

Ruowu let out a small sigh. "Yeah, we're from the same camp and have to think about the big picture."

A hint of killing intent rose in her eyes as her voice turned icy, "I can tolerate them coming to take advantage of the situation but whoever dares to cause trouble wont receive any mercy from me!"

With these final words, she turned around and left.

Shaomao smiled but didnt say anything.

There was no shortage of conflicts among the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts and quite a number of them even harbored deep grudges with each other.

Lin Xun, for example, was regarded by many ancient orthodoxies as a thorn in the flesh.

If he was caught up in his personal grievances, how could he have devoted his heart and soul to rebuilding the City of Protection?

Likewise, his enemies would not dare to oppose Lin Xun due to the current circumstances.

Otherwise, they would be torn to pieces by his supporters!

This was the power of the big picture!

After fending off the seven domains and rebuilding the City of Protection, Lin Xun's prestige had reached an unprecedented height.

It wouldnt even be an exaggeration to say that he was the leader of the Ancient Wasteland Domain and was acknowledged and respected by numerous experts.

Anyone who opposed him would also become an enemy of the Ancient Wasteland Camp.

Of course, Shaohao felt that it would be ideal if the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts, who were hostile toward Lin Xun, had a backbone and didnt come to the City of Protection.

However, neither Shaohao nor Ruowu would anticipate that a storm of blood would soon swallow the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts in the territories of the other eight domains.

Everything happened because of a single message from Xue Hongyi kill all the Ancient Wasteland supreme path experts to destroy the Ancient Wasteland Domain!

In the Nine Dark Territory, an Ancient Wasteland Domain expert sorrowfully howled as he barely escaped with his life, "Its retribution!"

Initially, like many other Ancient Wasteland Domain experts, he did not believe that Lin Xun would be capable of rebuilding the City of Protection and thus opted to watch like a bystander.

However, after learning that Lin Xun single-handedly stopped the seven domains armys attack and rebuilt the City of Protection in the Ancient Wasteland Territory, his first thought was to head to the Ancient Wasteland Territory and seek refuge in the City of Protection!

There were more than a few who shared such thoughts and the group had excitedly started traveling to the Ancient Wasteland Territory, hoping they would no longer need to spend their days hiding in fear after reaching the City of Protection.

However, none of them expected that they would encounter an ambush along the way.

In the end, he was the only person fortunate enough to survive and escape from the encirclement.

The expert couldnt help but grieve and regret that they had not headed to the Ancient Wasteland Territory back then.

Unfortunately, it was now too late for regret.

"Over there, quick!"

"Heh, that two-legged sheep must be a tough one to have survived till now."

In the distance, the sounds of the Nine Dark experts pursuit were heard.

The Ancient Wasteland Domain expert stiffened as his face paled. "It's over..."

Plop!

Soon after, blood splattered in the air.

The Ancient Wasteland Domain expert lay dying on the ground, wondering if things would have been different if he had headed to the Ancient Wasteland Territory earlier.

Similar scenes were occurring in the territories of the eight domains.

It was important to note that the Ancient Wasteland Domain experts scattered across these territories had concealed themselves well.

However, under the maniacal vengeance of the eight domains, numerous experts were discovered and executed without exception.

Of course, there were also many Ancient Wasteland Domain experts who managed to survive numerous dangers and ultimately make their way to the Ancient Wasteland Territory.

When these survivors, who constantly had to hide in fear for the past year, finally saw the golden City of Protection on the horizon, they couldnt help but tear up.

However, they started to grow nervous as they gradually approached the City of Protection.

After all, they had not come to support Lin Xun when he built the city out of concern for their safety.

In light of that, would they be turned away now that they came to seek refuge?
