Fang Chen's heart shuddered.
What did he just see? Why were True Martial Realm experts reduced to cannon fodder?
There weren't many True Martial Realm experts in the Five Elements State. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that True Martial Realm experts could dominate the Five Elements State.
Even on the Ancient Sword Continent, True Martial Realm experts were considered lords of a region.
Such experts had actually become cannon fodder in droves in the battle.
Moreover, True Martial Realm experts were only the lowest standard in this battle.
Countless True Martial Realm experts slaughtered in a frenzy. In the end, they all died.
Corpses were strewn all over the battlefield. Blood flowed like a river.
"Who is that black-robed man?"
Thinking of that black-robed man, Fang Chen's heart was in turmoil.
That black-robed man was the leader of the dead True Martial Realm experts. His aura had completely surpassed the True Martial Realm. He just stood there quietly, but Fang Chen felt as if he was one with heaven and earth.
Mystic King Realm expert. He was definitely a Mystic King Realm expert.
On the Ancient Sword Continent, the strongest realm recorded in ancient books was the Mystic King Realm.
Spirit Vortex Realm experts were considered lords of a region in the Five Elements State. However, on the Ancient Sword Continent, they were only above average.
Only True Martial Realm experts were considered true lords of a region.
As for Mystic King Realm experts that surpassed the True Martial Realm, Fang Chen had yet to see one.
Even on the Ancient Sword Continent, there weren't many Mystic King Realm experts.
In other words, it was a mystery whether there were any Mystic King Realm experts on the Ancient Sword Continent.
This was because in the Ancient Era, the Ancient Sword Continent had suffered a great crisis. This crisis had engulfed the entire Ancient Sword Continent, causing it to be in ruins.
After ten thousand years, the Ancient Sword Continent had slowly recovered. However, the laws on the Ancient Sword Continent were no longer complete.
The incomplete laws meant that there were almost no Mystic King Realm experts.
As for the black-robed man that Fang Chen saw on the battlefield, every move of his was able to trigger the power of heaven and earth.
Such an expert was definitely a Mystic King Realm expert.
"Could it be that what I just saw was that great battle in the Ancient Era?" Fang Chen's heart palpitated.
Originally, he was about to see the black-robed man's face, but suddenly his consciousness returned to his body.
At this moment, Fang Chen's forehead was full of sweat. His body was trembling involuntarily as if he had encountered something terrifying.
The Little Mouse and the Old Faker looked at Fang Chen in surprise.
The Little Mouse jumped onto Fang Chen's shoulder. A purple halo flashed around its body and instantly enveloped Fang Chen.
Enveloped by the purple halo, Fang Chen tried his best to calm down.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Little Mouse asked anxiously.
At this moment, Fang Chen finally regained consciousness. He glanced at the Little Mouse and the old faker, and then looked at the peak of the mountain. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So it was an illusion."
"What illusion?" The old faker asked.
It felt that this was an extraordinary place.
"Just now, my consciousness entered a battlefield. Corpses piled up and blood flowed like a river.
Experts of the Genuine Martial Realm could only be cannon fodder. "Fang Chen said in a low voice.
"What? Experts of the Genuine Martial Realm could only be cannon fodder?" The old faker cried out in surprise.
"Moreover, I also saw an expert who surpassed the Genuine Martial Realm." Fang Chen said to himself.
"Why did you see this? Is it a sign of something?" Little Mouse asked in confusion.
Fang Chen shook his head. He did not know why he saw this.
But now, Fang Chen felt that his golden heart was beating rapidly. Traces of clear energy were flowing through his limbs and bones.
Gradually, Fang Chen felt that his heart had finally calmed down.
"This mountain is very strange."
At this moment, Fang Chen began to think. He felt that the reason why he was in an illusion was because of this mountain.
"Boss, do you want to climb the mountain?" Little Mouse also felt that something was wrong. It was afraid that there would be danger on the mountain, so it asked.
"Let's go."
Fang Chen said in a low voice. Then, he took the lead to climb the mountain. Little Mouse and the old faker followed closely behind.
When Fang Chen stepped on the mountain, every step he took felt extremely heavy.
The closer he got to the peak, the more he found that the rules here were different from the rules in the Five Elements State.
"How could this be?"
True Intent automatically surged around Fang Chen as he stared at the mountain peak, dumbfounded.
Because at this moment, Fang Chen found that the rules here were exactly the same as those in the Heaven's Pass.
In other words, the rules here were complete.
"Is there any connection between this place and the Heaven's Pass?" Fang Chen thought to himself.
After thinking for a while, Fang Chen continued to climb the mountain.
Finally, after fifteen minutes, Fang Chen reached the top of the mountain.
The mountain peak was originally empty.
However, the moment Fang Chen stepped on the mountain, the Sword Intent around him instantly filled the entire mountain.
Then, a cauldron suddenly appeared in the center of the mountain.
Yes, it was a cauldron.
There were complicated runes on the cauldron. These runes looked like characters from the ancient era. Fang Chen carefully examined them, but he was unable to recognize them.
It had three legs and two handles. This was clearly a cauldron from the ancient era.
"What kind of cauldron is this?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
"This cauldron is not ordinary," said Ancestor Bronze.
Fang Chen hastily asked, "Ancestor, do you recognize this cauldron?"
"Strictly speaking, this cauldron doesn't belong to the ancient era. It's a cauldron from the primordial era.
According to legend, every expert in the primordial era would use their blood and sweat to nurture a cauldron. And when those experts died, they would be buried in the cauldron, "said Ancestor Bronze.
Fang Chen was shocked. This cauldron's origin was actually so great.
Why would a cauldron from the primordial era appear here?
The Five Elements Academy was nearby, so why hadn't he discovered it before?
Hiss!
While Fang Chen was talking to Old Ancestor Bronze, the three-legged, two-eared cauldron suddenly absorbed Fang Chen's True Meaning of Sword.
"Hmm?"
Fang Chen turned pale with fright. He desperately tried to control his Sword Intent, but to no avail.
The suction force from the cauldron was too strong. Fang Chen couldn't resist it at all.
"Damn it."
Fang Chen couldn't help cursing.
It was also at this time that traces of blood appeared on the cauldron.
These traces of blood covered the entire cauldron in the blink of an eye.
"What is this?"
Fang Chen turned pale with fright.
Why would a cauldron from the primordial era have traces of blood?
Could it be that the owner of this cauldron was the black-robed man on the battlefield?
Thinking of this, Fang Chen actually had the urge to lift the lid of the cauldron and see what was inside.
"Boss, there's something strange about this cauldron," shouted the Little Mouse.
The old faker also looked at the cauldron warily.
Fang Chen signaled for them not to act rashly. He walked step by step towards the cauldron.
At the same time, Fang Chen was still talking to Ancestor Bronze.
After all, Ancestor Bronze was an ancient expert. Although he had been dead for many years, his knowledge was not something that Fang Chen could compare to.
"The owner of this cauldron must have gone through a bloody battle when he was alive," said Ancestor Bronze.
"There are traces of blood around the cauldron. I can sense the aura of the primordial era from these traces of blood."
"Under normal circumstances, this cauldron wouldn't appear unless …"
Ancestor Bronze said in a deep voice.
"Unless what?" As he spoke, Fang Chen had already arrived in front of the cauldron. His body was filled with Sword Intent, and his golden heart was beating rapidly.
"Unless he found a suitable physical body," said Ancestor Bronze.
He was an ancient expert, so he didn't know much about the primordial era.
This was also a bit of information that he had read in a book back then.
"A suitable physical body?"
When Fang Chen heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Don't touch it."
Ancestor Bronze shouted when he saw Fang Chen's palm touch the cauldron.
However, Fang Chen realized that he couldn't control his body at this time.
His palm couldn't help but touch the cauldron.
When his palm touched the cauldron, all the blood on the cauldron surged into Fang Chen's body.
"This is …"
Fang Chen felt the overbearing power of the blood. His body was swelling rapidly, as if it was about to explode.
"Ah!"
Fang Chen let out a miserable cry. He wanted to move his palm away, but there was nothing he could do.
"How could this be?"
At this time, the golden heart in Fang Chen's body was beating rapidly. The blood that surged into Fang Chen's body was completely absorbed by the golden heart.
Then, the Undying Flame released by the Undying Bird's essence blood burned the blood to ashes.
The swelling body finally calmed down.
Fang Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He realized that the golden heart seemed to have a strong desire for the thing in the cauldron.
"What is in the cauldron?"
Fang Chen was puzzled. Could it be that the black-robed man was really buried in the cauldron?
At this moment, Fang Chen hesitated.
Should he lift the cauldron?
Once it was lifted, it was unknown whether it would be a blessing or a curse.
"Ancestor!"
Fang Chen asked.
"This cauldron is ominous. Leave this place quickly." Ancestor Bronze advised.
If Fang Chen was a Genuine Martial Realm expert, Ancestor Bronze would definitely let Fang Chen try to lift the cauldron.
However, Fang Chen was only a mid-level Spiritual Vortex Realm martial artist. If he lifted the cauldron, it would bring about a fatal disaster.
"They are all dead."
Just as Ancestor Bronze finished speaking, Fang Chen heard a strange voice.
Fang Chen's face changed. This voice was clearly the voice of the black-robed man on the battlefield.
Why would it appear here? Could it be that what he just saw was not an illusion, but a real battle that happened in the ancient times?
Fang Chen's heart was in a mess. The speed of the golden heart's beating exceeded Fang Chen's imagination.
The Undying Bird's essence blood in the golden heart was also rotating, as if it wanted to rush out of Fang Chen's body.
"Why is this happening?"
This cauldron was too strange.
After coming here, Fang Chen encountered a series of strange things.
