In the Fallen Battlefield
In this ancient battlefield that was brimming with danger, the flow of time seemed to have slowed down by quite a bit. Due to the high sky being covered by violent Spiritual Energy all year round, the day and night in this battlefield were hard to detect. However, regardless of the environment, the cruelty of the Hunting War was still quietly being emitted with the flow of time.
In just a few days, more and more factions swarmed into this ancient battlefield. They were like rats searching for relics everywhere. Every time a relic was discovered, it would be followed by a group of people who were like sharks smelling the scent of blood. As a result, a relic had become a bloody meat grinder …
For the ownership of those ruins, a bloody battle was unavoidable. In the brutal battles, countless experts had fallen and the entire heavens and earth was enveloped in a brutal slaughter.
But the chessboard had already been laid out and anyone that entered was a chess piece. As for who could break out of the chessboard, they would definitely have to experience a battle of life and death.
…
The battle between Mu Chen's party and the Divine Pavilion had also swiftly spread out over the past few days. After all, Mu Chen had chased the Skycroc Troop for a thousand miles back then, so it was impossible to hide the commotion from them, even if they wanted to.
The Great Heaven Domain and Divine Pavilion were, after all, peak forces in the Northern Region. Thus, every single one of their actions would attract attention. Thus, when the news spread out, it had caused quite a commotion, as expected.
Especially when Mu Chen relied on his own strength to fight Fang Yi to the point that both of them were heavily injured. Thereafter, he had controlled the Jiu You Troop and borrowed the power of Battle Will.
When the news of him suppressing Fang Yi and holding back Arachnosuchus and Xu Ba spread out, the commotion had turned into astonishment and disbelief.
After the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, Mu Chen's name had spread throughout the Northern Region. However, he was ranked third on the Dragon-Phoenix Record.
But there were still some people that did not comment on it.
That's because, in many people's eyes, the reason why Mu Chen could become the greatest beneficiary in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven was due to the assistance of Emperor Yan's daughter. Thus, his achievements would definitely attract a lot of doubts.
But this kind of doubt.
But at this moment, it was smashed into pieces by a single punch.
A few months ago, even if Mu Chen gave his all in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, he could only barely hold back the Netherworld Prince. Furthermore, he was clearly in a disadvantageous position. However, in just three to four months, he could actually rely on his own strength to fight against the Overlord of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Fang Yi.
Both sides would suffer!
This speed of improvement in strength was simply astounding.
Furthermore, what shocked everyone the most was the contents of the news.
Mu Chen was actually able to control Battle Will and had even refined the Spirit of Battle Will. If he could infuse this energy into his body, even Fang Yi would be crushed by him … He could even confront veteran experts like Arachnosuchus and Xu Ba!
Such power.
This was already enough to make the various factions treat Mu Chen with caution. They no longer dared to easily treat him as a greenhorn.
As the Hunting War gradually unfolded, a brutal battle unfolded.
At this moment, Mu Chen's reputation had already started to spread …
However, this time, no one dared to question his words.
…
Boom!
Violent Spiritual Energy exploded between the heavens and earth. In the next instant, it transformed into a bolt of light that pierced through the sky, shattering an expert that was retreating into a bloody light that blotted the sky.
The Netherworld Prince retracted his fist without any expression on his face, before he descended from the sky. Behind him, a figure flew over in a flash and whispered beside him.
"Mu Chen …" The Netherworld Prince narrowed his eyes as a smear of shock flashed across his eyes. He never expected that the fellow that he had forced into a perilous situation back then would improve his strength to such an extent in just a few months, to the point that he could even fight against Fang Yi to a draw.
The Netherworld Prince slowly retracted his hands, before he turned around and left with a cold voice that gently resounded in the air.
"Originally, I wanted to personally defeat Fang Yi. However, since you're able to fight against him to such an extent, I'll deal with you first if I meet you … However, this time, no one will be able to save you."
In an ancient ruin, boundless Battle Will was spreading out with a massive troop standing in the sky. Above this troop, there was a silhouette standing with his hands behind his back, with an ocean of Battle Will beneath his feet.
At this moment, that silhouette was grinning as he looked up ahead. There was also a troop over there, but at this moment, the Battle Will of that troop was being suppressed by him.
"All of you, die!"
He sinisterly laughed with bloodlust in his voice as he abruptly clenched his fist. The ocean of Battle Will whistled and formed into a blood-red python.
It was also a Spirit of Battle Will!
Boom!
The tail of the python, which was formed from boundless Battle Will, instantly pierced through the heavens and earth. Thereafter, it was like a huge axe that tore apart the troop before it. Instantly, innumerable shrieks resounded as silhouettes fell from the sky along with a rain of blood.
That silhouette laughed at this scene before turning his head and looked at a silhouette behind him. "Young Palace Master, the person you're talking about is called Mu Chen, right?
His name has been spreading like wildfire right now. "
Behind that silhouette, a somewhat grim face was revealed. It was Liu Yan of the Sky Profound Palace. At this moment, his face was filled with deep hatred.
In the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, Mu Chen had destroyed his physical body. If it wasn't for his father spending a great amount of effort to reconstruct his physical body, he would have probably been crippled by now.
"I never expected that not only could that brat control Battle Will, but he has also refined a Spirit of Battle Will." Liu Yan eerily said.
That silhouette lightly smiled as he licked his scarlet lips. The veins in his eyes grew denser as he softly said, "Young Palace Master, we can make a deal. I will make Mu Chen kneel before you like a dog, as long as you can help me become the Chief Commander of the Sky Profound Palace …"
Liu Yan slightly narrowed his eyes.
A ferocious light rose in his eyes as he nodded his head a brief moment later.
"Alright!"
…
This was a plain.
But at this moment, this plain was in a complete mess with countless corpses and blood flowing everywhere.
On a small hill in the plain, a young lady sat on a wheelchair with her black hair draped down as she quietly looked at the mess before her.
Behind him, a black mass of soldiers spread out.
As they breathed, they seemed to be one with boundless Battle Will spreading out between the heavens and earth.
Everyone's gazes were filled with respect.
They were all looking at the frail figure of the young lady with revere.
A silhouette suddenly appeared behind the young lady and the latter slowly opened her eyes.
"Commander Mu, there's news from Little Fang."
The silhouette behind the young lady softly said, "She wants to request for Commander to deal with Mu Chen of the Great Heaven Domain. It's said that Mu Chen has also refined a Spirit of Battle Will. Lord Fang said that if you're willing to deal with Mu Chen, he will request for the Nine Heavens Soul Replenishing Grass for your sister."
Hearing the name of the Nine Heavens Soul Replenishing Grass, the young lady's pupils rippled.
The young lady's deep pool like eyes finally rippled a little. Soon after, she lifted her fair and beautiful oval face and gently nodded her head.
"I understand."
…
…
In the vast Fallen Battlefield, cruelty was constantly shrouding this place.
Cruelty shrouded this place at all times. As time passed, cruel battles broke out one after another. The strong preyed on the weak. This was a vivid display of the law of the jungle.
As the commotion caused by defeating several troops of the Divine Pavilion, Mu Chen, who was the main character, paid no attention to it.
However, he didn't pay any attention to them. After racking his brains to rope in the Mountain Splitting King, the Four Kings, and the four powerful armies that they brought,
After that, he had started to utilise the Spiritual Compass to the limits.
At this moment, everyone was fighting for Fallen Origin Pellets, since they might be able to obtain sufficient Fallen Origin Pellets and obtain the initiative to seize the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasury. Therefore, since Mu Chen had a Divine Artifact like the Spiritual Compass, he naturally couldn't let it go to waste.
Under the all-out search of Mu Chen's party, in addition to the help of the Spiritual Compass, Mu Chen's party had obtained an astonishing harvest in just four days.
In the short span of four days, they had explored over thirty ruins. Among them, there were about a dozen that had yet to reach grade 3. As for grade 3 ruins, they had also found a dozen or so grade 3 ruins. In fact, they had even found a grade 2 ruin...
In those thirty-odd ruins, they had obtained a total of nearly ten thousand Fallen Origin Pellets. According to the ratio, they had obtained over two thousand Fallen Origin Pellets. Even with the bearing of the Mountain Splitting King, he couldn't help revealing joy on his face. That's because if they were to blindly search, it would be impossible for them to obtain over two thousand Fallen Origin Pellets in just four days.
Mu Chen was pretty satisfied with this. That's because when they found some ruins, it was unavoidable for the other forces to sense it. But generally speaking, when the other forces saw their terrifying formation, they would choose to give up. What a joke, a total of five Sixth Grade Sovereigns, in addition to five elite troops. Even a Seventh Grade Sovereign would have to take a detour.
Furthermore, some of the ruins were also filled with danger. Take the only Grade-2 Ruin that they had found, for some special reasons, there were no less than ten fallen Primordial Sovereigns. Amongst them, there were even four that were comparable to Sixth Grade Sovereigns.
That Grade-2 Ruin had brought quite a bit of trouble to Mu Chen's party. It was so much so that there were even casualties. This was also the reason why Mu Chen had brought along the Mountain Splitting King and the rest. If their Jiu You Highness had barged in by themselves, the casualties would probably be even greater.
Therefore, he rejoiced that he had pulled the Mountain Splitting King and the rest over as helpers …
Outside an ancient ruin, several troops stood in an orderly manner. Looking over, it was a sea of people. This was Mu Chen's party that had just completed an exploration and was currently preparing to rest.
Mu Chen sat on a lone peak, quietly cultivating with his eyes closed. A long while later, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked down. The five troops, including the Jiu You Troop, were quietly seated with boundless Battle Will surging in the sky above them.
The five boundless Battle Wills weren't compatible with each other, occupying a corner of the sky.
Mu Chen stared at the five boundless Battle Wills and his black pupils gently rippled. A peculiar thought rose from the depths of his heart.
He wondered if he could control the Battle Wills of the other troops while controlling the Jiu You Troop?
