When the black storm disappeared, the entire heavens and earth suddenly boiled as countless troops turned into streaks of light and flew towards the Fallen Battlefield. It was a magnificent scene.
The Great Havenlaw Domain's army had also moved under Mandala's gentle wave of her hand. The army was like a huge dragon as they flew through the crack of a few myriad feet and charged into the Fallen Battlefield.
When the army entered the Fallen Battlefield, everyone could sense an eerie chill enveloping over. The chill was extremely unusual, it was so much so that even the robust Spiritual Energy couldn't resist it. The sudden change had caused the Great Havenlaw Domain's army to be in chaos, but they swiftly calmed down under the consolation of the Kings.
Mu Chen stood at the front of the Jiu You Troop with a grave expression as he looked at the dusky heavens and earth. His Spiritual Energy perception seemed to be greatly disrupted in this place. Furthermore, the chill was like a parasite that lingered around his body. Although it didn't seem to cause any harm, it still made him feel uneasy.
"Be careful, there are tens of thousands of experts that have fallen in the Fallen Battlefield. Therefore, the Spiritual Energy here seems to be mixed with a trace of the will of death from those fallen experts. It's very troublesome and formless. But if it's too dense, it will invade your body and corrode your Spiritual Energy. At that time, it will greatly affect your fighting strength." The Jiu You Troop reminded.
"If you want to get rid of this hidden danger, then you will have to rely on extreme Yang energy."
"Extreme Yang energy?" Mu Chen's heart trembled.
The spiritual energy in his body had refined the Undying Flame and the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, and this flame and lightning.
From a certain degree, they were the nemesis of those strange energies.
As he thought of this, a thought flashed through his mind. Purple flames flashed across his body and a high temperature spread out. That bone-chilling cold feeling instantly disappeared and was replaced by a clear and comfortable feeling.
It made Mu Chen's tensed face loosen up.
"It's truly a forbidden ground."
Mu Chen sighed. The Fallen Battlefield was truly worthy of its name as a forbidden ground. They had just entered, and they had already encountered such a troublesome thing.
Even powerful Spiritual Energy couldn't resist it, and they could only rely on some special energy.
After dealing with the chill, Mu Chen started to look at the Fallen Battlefield, the place where their army had landed.
It was a scarlet plain.
The color of the plains seemed to have been washed by layers of fresh blood. Huge and sinister-looking cracks crisscrossed like scars on the ground, appearing in one's line of sight. It was a ghastly sight.
It was difficult to imagine just how intense of a war had erupted here during the ancient times.
"Oh, right. Why aren't there any corpses of the Fiend Clans?" Mu Chen looked at the white bones that were occasionally revealed on the ground.
Knitting his brows, he felt that something was missing.
After a brief moment, he suddenly recalled that there weren't any corpses of the Fiend Clans here.
That didn't make sense. Back then, there was an intense war here, so how could there only be the corpses of the Great Thousand World?
"The Fiend Clans are extremely bizarre. The moment they die, their bodies will melt and turn into a corpse aura. That corpse aura is extremely vicious, and the moment it spreads out, it will even contaminate the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth, making it impossible for anyone to absorb and refine it."
Jiu You pointed at this region. "The Fallen Battlefield was once contaminated, and after the war, it was cleansed by many powerful Divine Abilities. But even so, it took a thousand years for the Spiritual Energy here to recover."
Contaminating Spiritual Energy?
Hearing those words, Mu Chen's face couldn't help changing with shock and graveness in his eyes. One of the reasons why the Great Thousand World could become the gathering ground of the Lower Planes was due to the existence of Spiritual Energy in the Great Thousand World. But the Fiend Clans were actually so vicious. They're practically trying to wipe out all the cultivators in the Great Thousand World.
Mu Chen couldn't imagine how great of a blow it would be to the Great Thousand World if most of the territories in the Great Thousand World lost their Spiritual Energy.
Without Spiritual Energy, the Great Thousand World wouldn't be the Fiend Clans' opponent. At that time, the entire Great Thousand World would fall under the Fiend Clans' control, and the cultivators of the Great Thousand World would lose all their strength and be at the mercy of others.
"The Fiend Clans are truly vicious."
Mu Chen said in a solemn voice. It was no wonder why all the cultivators in the Great Thousand World viewed the Fiend Clans as their enemy. In ancient times, they even abandoned all their grudges and joined hands to resist the Fiend Clans' invasion.
"Although our Great Thousand World won the primordial war, it wasn't considered a victory according to the information that I've obtained from the ancient records." Jiu You sighed.
"It wasn't considered a victory?" Mu Chen's eyes narrowed.
"The current Great Thousand World is only half of what it was in ancient times." Jiu You faintly said.
Mu Chen's eyes narrowed with dense shock on his face as he looked at Mu Chen in disbelief and said with great difficulty, "Then there's still half …"
"It's naturally occupied by the Fiend Clans. Although we managed to repel the invasion of the Fiend Clans in the primordial war, the Great Thousand World also suffered a great loss. We don't have the strength to take back our lost territories, and we can only defend the remaining continents." Jiu You said.
Mu Chen fell into silence with unconcealable shock in his heart. Although he didn't have any interaction with the Fiend Clans, the Fiend Clans were still a boulder in the hearts of everyone in the Great Thousand World, like a fishbone stuck in their throats.
"But you don't have to be too worried. Although many pinnacle powerhouses of the Great Thousand World have fallen in ancient times, our Great Thousand World is still filled with heroes, and there's no lack of powerhouses. Take Lin Jing's father, Wu Zu, whom we met in the Merchant Continent, as well as the young lady that you befriended in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. Her father is the Endless Fire Territory's Yan Emperor, as well as the Grave Guardians of the Myriad Graves and the Azure Sword Saint of the Sword Domain …"
Jiu You smiled. "Those powerhouses can be considered pinnacle powerhouses even in ancient times, and they can't be underestimated. If the Fiend Clans want to make a move, then those powerhouses will definitely make a move."
Mu Chen gently nodded his head. Hearing the names of the Great Thousand World coming from Jiu You's mouth, he couldn't help feeling a surge in his heart. This was the path of an expert.
He looked forward to the day when he could stand at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World. At that time, he wouldn't have to fear anything that obstructs his path.
Huff.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen suppressed the surging waves in his heart. That level was his pursuit, and he had the confidence to chase after that level. He also believed that he would be able to reach that step. However, he still needed time to grow.
Right now, he needed to find an opportunity to grow stronger!
The higher hierarchy of the Great Havenlaw Domain was gathered on a hill in the crimson plains. Mandala stood with her hands behind her back. Although her girlish figure was petite, the pressure that was being emitted from her body made even experts like the three Emperors to lower their heads in respect.
"We have already entered the Fallen Battlefield, and I can sense that there are countless people here. Right now, the Fallen Battlefield is truly a battlefield." Mandala's faint voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"Next up, we will act according to the plan. I will search for the location of the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury with the three Emperors, and we will have to rely on you guys to obtain the Fallen Origin Pellets."
Mandala took a deep look at everyone and continued, "I hope that you guys will not disappoint me."
"We will definitely do our best!" The various Kings solemnly said.
Mandala nodded her head and waved her hand. Several streaks of light flew out towards the various Kings.
Mu Chen and the rest clenched their fists and the streaks of light turned into jade strips. There seemed to be a simple map on the jade strips, but everyone's map was different.
"There is a ruin on the map in your hands, and this is the limited information that we have. If we want to obtain more information, we will have to rely on you guys to search."
"Yes!" The various Kings nodded their heads.
When Mandala saw their response, she no longer spoke. Her golden pupils swept around the various Kings, before her gaze briefly paused on Mu Chen. She then nodded her chin towards him, signaling him to be careful.
Mandala's actions were extremely subtle, so the other various Kings did not notice it. After all, she couldn't show any differential treatment at this moment.
"Since everyone is clear, then lead your troops and move out." Mandala took a deep breath and said in a dignified manner.
The various Kings nodded their heads and flew back to their respective troops. Then, a roar rang out, causing the earth to tremble. Streaks of light began to separate from the Great Heaven Domain's army and whistled in different directions.
Mu Chen and the Jiu You Troop did not separate because if they did, they would definitely separate the Jiu You Troop, which wasn't good news for them. After all, it would be difficult for them to obtain any benefits in the Fallen Battlefield alone.
Therefore, the two of them had immediately joined together. With a wave of their hands, they led the Nine Nether Troop and flew out in every direction. That momentum was truly spectacular.
As the troops separated, the originally vast scale of the Great Heaven Domain's army rapidly shrunk. Mandala stood on the hill, looking in the direction of the troops as she slowly clenched her fists.
At this moment, the curtains of the Great Hunting War had finally been lifted.
