"Where in the world is this place, to spawn such a powerful demon beast?" In the sealed land, Yang Youji, having dodged a massive palm, asked with a pale face and a look of disbelief.
An hour prior, the four of them had encountered Wang Zhuo, a reincarnated supreme being from the Wang family, battling several powerful entities. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xia Xin Yu, along with Dian Wei and two others, traversed the void. However, as they traveled further south, the danger intensified. An inexplicable, indescribable aura sent shivers down Xia Xin Yu's spine.
After another half an hour of southward traversal, the four entered a plain that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were no trees, no flowers, and not a single blade of grass. It was a scene devoid of life, as if it had endured a catastrophic war; the word "desolate" fit perfectly.
As they ventured a few hundred miles further, the plain began to reveal numerous colossal skeletons scattered across the land. Beneath each skeletal remnant pulsed a blood-red formation, exuding divine power.
The scattered bones belonged to creatures unidentifiable, while the formations coiled beneath them were both strange and terrifying. As Xia Xin Yu and the other two passed one such formation, they felt a mortal danger.
"This place should be the outskirts of the Battle of Changsheng City. The owners of these skeletons were peerless powerhouses who once suppressed an entire region. See the blood-red formations beneath them? That is merely their divine power from life, now sealed within their bones!"
"Since this place has been sealed, these formations have gradually become deadly traps. Stay far away from them. Even an ultimate Xuan Zun would perish on contact!" Xia Xin Yu warned, her gaze fixed on a formation, her brow furrowed in deep thought.
The fact that so many skeletons remained after the Battle of Changsheng City attested to the immense power of their owners in life.
The Battle of Changsheng City was the most terrifying battlefield in the Eastern Remote regions and the decisive battle that led the Immortal Lord to pacify the East!
*Boom!*
A thunderous roar echoed from the depths of the land!
"Let's go! Let's see!"
Xia Xin Yu looked towards the depths of the plain, where divine power surged violently, causing the void to shatter inch by inch.
The four traversed hundreds of miles of void and witnessed several beings locked in a desperate, bloody battle. Space was being torn apart with every movement, yet Dian Wei and the other two noticed that the ground of the battlefield remained completely intact, not even a single crack appearing.
"It's the supreme beings from the four great families: the Zhan family, the Jiang Zuo noble family, the Chu family, and the Gu family. It seems we haven't gone astray!"
Xia Xin Yu observed the fierce battle ahead and said softly, "This land, having endured the Battle of Changsheng City, has been tempered and is incredibly stable. Even a supreme Xuan Zun being might not be able to shatter this place!"
*Boom!*
Countless terrifying auras, none weaker than Chu Sheng of the Chu family, clashed in the void. This battle could be considered a peak battle among the supreme realm beings in the current Three Thousand Dao Provinces!
In the intense battlefield, every move was a fatal strike aimed at the opponent, shaking the land violently. Suddenly, a white-haired being unleashed a saber strike, which was then shattered by another being. A sliver of saber intent, falling into a skeleton, acted like a key, activating the formation beneath the bones, all without anyone noticing!
With a deafening roar, several figures engaged in battle were slammed into the ground, and a formidable aura enveloped the entire region.
Even Dian Wei and the other three were pressed into the ground, unable to move an inch. From within the skeleton, a terrifying figure emerged.
The figure had a dark green face, framed by thick sideburns. Though it possessed a human visage, its mouth resembled an eagle's beak, and its pair of red eyes curved like scimitars.
In its massive hand, it held a saber that gleamed, still stained with blood.
This mere spectral figure stepped out of the blood-red formation. Its gaze swept across the land, shattering the sky for ten thousand miles. With a flash of saber light, it cleaved the heavens and earth.
"What is this thing?"
A fierce wind buffeted the void. Several supreme beings from the Azure Dragon Palace, Black Tortoise Hall, Fallen Immortal Dynasty, and White Tiger Pavilion, who had followed closely, were stunned as they gazed at the spectral figure. Furthermore, countless powerful supreme beings were pinned to the ground, unable to move.
The spectral figure that had emerged scanned the newcomers with its eyes. The newly arrived supreme beings instantly dissipated, dying in an instant, like vapor evaporating.
At this moment, all beings suppressed by divine power on the ground trembled. They were filled with shock and uncertainty. With a single glance, supreme beings perished. The eruption of its aura further pressed down on all present.
Especially those within the battlefield, each a peerless prodigy who had dominated their era, none inferior to Chu Sheng.
In the distance, Wang Zhuo, leading several figures, was traversing the void when his expression suddenly changed, and he halted. Gazing at the distant horizon, Wang Zhuo's heart pounded: "Ultimate Xuan Zun!!"
Not only him, but any being with a modicum of sense, arriving from all directions, immediately stopped, daring not to advance another step. The terrifying aura had enveloped the area for three full hours.
The emerging figure stood in the void, observing the scene. With a sigh, it dissolved into starlight, scattering in all directions. The skeleton and the blood-red formation were utterly annihilated.
"What realm was that powerful being in?"
Long Ju, his face pale, lay on the ground, still unable to move. As the divine power suppressing him vanished, he asked softly.
"Just an ultimate Xuan Zun who perished here in ancient times. We're quite fortunate. If a Creation Divine Venerable had emerged, we would all have met our end here!"
Xia Xin Yu lay on the ground, gazing into the distance. All beings remained motionless, waiting silently. After an hour, someone finally stood up and rushed further inland.
The several figures who had been fighting earlier exchanged cautious glances, then surveyed the scattered skeletons. They abandoned their conflict and proceeded deeper into the land.
"Yo!"
"Xia Xin Yu, I truly didn't expect you to get ahead of me!"
Wang Zhuo's figure appeared in the void. He looked at Xia Xin Yu and her three companions, who had just stood up, and said softly.
"Wang Zhuo, what, do you want to settle this here?"
Xia Xin Yu smiled faintly.
"Hmph! You're lucky this time! Let's go!"
Wang Zhuo's face turned cold. He roared and led the beings behind him, traversing further inland.
"Why are there two enormous deep pits? Look, in the four directions of southeast, northwest!!"
Half an hour later, as Xia Xin Yu and her three companions reached the very core of the sealed land, Yang Youji exclaimed urgently.
In the core of the sealed land, they discovered two massive deep pits. To the southeast, northwest, and in the four directions surrounding these two colossal pits, stood four intact and unharmed gigantic skeletons!
