As the mysterious liquid appeared, the world was filled with an alluring fragrance. Li Xiaotian unconsciously inhaled, and his divine soul instantly cleared, his soul power even increasing slightly.
"This!"
Li Xiaotian couldn't help but be astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief. This was simply too miraculous.
The liquid flowing from the mountain could actually nourish the divine soul!
"What exactly is this place?" Li Xiaotian's eyes flickered with brilliance. It was truly inconceivable. Although he didn't know what this mysterious liquid was, based on its ability to nourish the divine soul alone, it was definitely a heaven-defying treasure.
What surprised him even more was that such a precious liquid was encountered so easily by him.
But in a moment, he understood. This was the edge of the third trial world. To reach here, one had to pass through the battlefield at the center of the world, then traverse a barren region, and only then could they arrive here.
The trial-takers were all focused on passing quickly and had no intention of wasting time exploring the edges of the world. After all, it was common knowledge that the edges of any world were barren and desolate.
But who would have thought that this place would be the opposite.
"Buzz!" Li Xiaotian's heart stirred, and he casually took out a storage artifact, intending to collect this mysterious liquid.
But to his surprise, the artifact vanished like a mud ox entering the sea, falling directly onto the mountainside, where it was then disintegrated, swallowed by radiant light, and absorbed into the mountain.
"Cannot collect!"
Li Xiaotian frowned upon seeing this, sensing the change in the mountainside. His item had been treated as nourishment by the mountain and was quickly digested.
Within the mountain, various streams of light danced. The crystal-clear liquid was scarce and extremely rare. It did not seep into the sand or cracks in the stones, but all gathered at the foot of the mountain, forming only small puddles.
"Could this entire mountain range truly be a living being?" Li Xiaotian wondered. This scene was too bizarre. He temporarily suppressed his desire to continue interacting with this mysterious liquid. After all, no matter how good the item was, without understanding what it truly was, absorbing it might lead to unforeseen consequences.
The surrounding mountains surged, and the alluring fragrance grew stronger. Only the giant tomb remained unchanged, lying there silently.
"Hmm? Someone!" Li Xiaotian suddenly frowned, looking into the distance, and simultaneously concealed his figure, hiding within a large mountain.
In the distance, over a dozen figures flew over, men and women alike, each possessing powerful auras and exuding a sacred aura. Clearly, they were all races from the Divine Realm.
The Divine Realm contained not only races like the Gods and Demons but also some races with very small populations. These races had little presence in the Divine Realm, but it did not prevent them from being of Divine Realm origin, always holding a superior status in the outside world.
"It seems the Heavenly God Liquid is about to be generated. It surges every time the Hundred Battles City opens. Our ancestors did not deceive us. After waiting in secret for many days, we have finally achieved our goal."
These individuals were all powerful, but they did not dare to venture deep into the forbidden zone. They all remained on the outside, observing. They had not discovered Li Xiaotian, who was already hidden.
"The Heavenly God Liquid has just begun to form. In some time, some precious liquid will settle. It is harvested once every ten thousand years, and its importance is immense. We must not relax our vigilance in these final days. If any outsiders come here, kill them without mercy, at all costs!" a man said in a deep voice, his tone filled with killing intent.
Li Xiaotian, in hiding, his eyes flickered. So this liquid was called Heavenly God Liquid, no wonder it had such miraculous effects.
At the same time, he muttered to himself. These people from the Divine Realm seemed to have known about this place for a long time, but the powerful races in the Divine Realm were unaware of it, which was rather intriguing.
Could it be that the Divine Realm was not a place of peace? With numerous races, while unified externally, within the Divine Realm, each race had its own schemes?
Li Xiaotian speculated. However, it made sense. No matter what kind of social model, there would always be conflict. In the Divine Realm, the God race held absolute dominance, suppressing the other races. It was likely that these races were extremely wary of the God race.
After all, everyone wanted to be the boss.
"Brother Taku, why is the Heavenly God Liquid generated here, and how is it formed?"
Among the trial-takers, someone, filled with curiosity, couldn't help but earnestly inquire and ask the leading man.
"This is the battlefield of the gods, where their blood and bones are buried. I'm not entirely sure of the specifics. I only know that in the very distant past, many gods died here."
The man named Taku said. His strength was astonishing, and to Li Xiaotian, he felt even stronger than Tian Qi. His black hair was dense, and he possessed a sharp aura.
Li Xiaotian, hidden in the shadows, was surprised by this. The blood and bones of gods, weren't these the blood and bones of high-level powerhouses? They were buried here, forming a deadly zone of life. These flesh and blood contained dense energy, which was why the Heavenly God Liquid was born, maturing once every time the Hundred Battles City began.
"Divine Realm. It seems these few races had powerful individuals come here for trials a long time ago and unintentionally discovered this place," Li Xiaotian observed them from hiding.
He knew that the leading figure, Taku, belonged to the Bone race of the Divine Realm, a race with very few members and extremely mysterious. Even in the Divine Realm, they rarely appeared.
The others included the Five Elements race and the Spirit race, all of which were sparsely populated races in the Divine Realm. In terms of individual strength, they were no weaker than major races like the God race and the Demon race.
"Brother Taku, what is the origin of the divine tomb in the deepest part? Have any powerful individuals explored it before?" someone asked.
"The divine tomb!"
Upon hearing this, Taku's eyes flickered, seemingly filled with great apprehension. He then said to everyone.
"This divine tomb involves too much. It is extremely ancient, and its secrets are beyond our current capabilities to comprehend. Remember, under no circumstances should you approach it, otherwise, even if a high-level powerhouse personally intervenes, they might not be able to save you."
"Hiss!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with shock. Even high-level powerhouses couldn't be saved? This was too terrifying!
"Legend says it buries the past, a tomb of the universe," Taku whispered, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.
In the shadows, Li Xiaotian gasped. Burying the past? A tomb of the universe? Even high-level powerhouses couldn't be saved? In an instant, he felt a sense of dread. He had wanted to investigate earlier, and if it weren't for the attraction of the Heavenly God Liquid, he might have already approached that divine tomb.
It was too bizarre, Li Xiaotian muttered to himself. The Hundred Battles City, an artifact from a past cosmic era, contained too many secrets!
"Perhaps the trials in the Hundred Battles City are not just simple trials," Li Xiaotian murmured, feeling that each level of the Hundred Battles City must hide great secrets.
