When Yao Wumeng and his three companions each stepped through the western West City Gate, Yao Wumeng had already sensed that the City of Ruins was probably not just a simple ruined city. Because this city, though separated from the outside by only a wall, was almost another world entirely. In fact, it was a world within the Sand Realm, a small world created within a larger one by Supreme Great Magical Power without interfering with the larger world, and the City of Ruins was precisely such a place.

No poisonous insects, no ferocious beasts. Whether they looked with their naked eyes or scouted with Divine Sense, they couldn't feel the slightest breath of other life.
