Chapter 803: Divine Space Talisman
Chapter 803: Divine Space Talisman
“A Divine Space Talisman?” Long Chen made a mental note.
“The good thing about this round is that casualties do not usually happen, but there are also disadvantages. Just think about it. The Five Elements Alliance has five clans, so they will send a total of ten people. Once these ten people meet each other in the ruins, they will become allies and travel together. In the end, they may even gather all ten of their mates and eliminate everyone else together. How could we be a match for that?
“The Divine Wind Faction has Wu Guangyu, whom they are afraid of. They’re also a bit scared of some of the other Divine Wind Faction people. However, our situation is different. That is why after we reach the ruins, we must first learn how to keep a low profile. The bird who stands out from the flock gets shot. If you keep a low profile, you may even get a chance to enter the top eight.”
Trapping eighteen people in a natural Confounding Array was not a bad idea at all. Long Chen knew how strong he was, so he had some confidence. He was not afraid of the first round in the ruins.
“You’re stronger than I am, but you must hide it. If I lose to the Five Elements Alliance group or Wu Guangyu, the hopes of the Demon clan will be in your hands.” There was worry in Suxue’s eyes.
“Alright. It hasn’t even started yet, so don’t worry. Your father said that this mainly depends on me. You just need to go there and get some experience. Let those people admire your beautiful looks, and that will be enough,” said Long Chen with a mischievous grin.
“I hate you!” Suxue glared at him in exasperation.
Long Chen retracted his smile and said, “The remaining eight will fight each other, and three rounds of duels will determine who gets first, second, and third place, right?”
“That’s right. Even if you enter the top eight, you will still need to fight three times. How long you can last depends on your luck and capabilities.”
Eight to four, four to two, and the final two would determine the champion. Long Chen counted the duels. Even if he was lucky in the ruins and only met one opponent, he would still have to fight four consecutive duels.With Bai Lan and Lei Ji protecting them, nothing happened along the way. Long Chen could sense that they were about to leave the Wood District. The Eternal Battlefield was the center of the Five Districts, so theoretically, they could follow any boundary between two districts and reach the Eternal Battlefield as long as they were facing the right way.
About seven or eight days after setting off, they finally arrived.
“According to the legends, the Eternal Battlefield is where the Five Emperors led the masters of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory to fight invaders as a final front. There is a legend of a sea of bones left behind by the corpses, but it is just a legend. The Eternal Battlefield is desolate; it has nothing,” Lei Wu explained cheerfully to Long Chen, as if he was not anxious about the upcoming battle at all.
“Although the sea of bones doesn’t exist, the war during the Middle Ages that killed the Five Emperors is real. We have long known who the mysterious invaders who fought the Five Emperors were—they were from the Three Royal Territories. To us, the Five Emperors War was a great war where we defended our land, but it was probably just a minor event to the vast Three Royal Territories.”
Long Chen had not heard this tragic story before. This was his first time learning that such a huge war had happened in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory. He previously thought that it was internal conflict, but it was actually due to the Royal Territories.
To the Ten Thousand Nations Territory, the Royal Territories were just too vast. Even now, the Ten Thousand Nations Territory was under the Royal Territories’ control, and the Five Emperors had passed away. This proved that the Ten Thousand Nations Territory had lost the war. Just a few Divine Martial Realm masters were not enough to fight against the masters of the Royal Territories.
Long Chen was now even more suspicious of the mysterious people who had appeared in the Ancient Graveyard. Who were they? What were their intentions?
Everything remained a mystery!
As he learned about these things, Long Chen was suddenly curious about the Eternal Battlefield, and after traveling for many days, they finally arrived. After passing through layers of forest, a desolate region appeared before him. It was desolate, but the conditions were not harsh. It was just devoid of any living being.
Cold gusts of wind blew through the desolate region and a layer of gray clouds hung very low in the sky. There were a few almost-wilted patches of grass ahead, and yellow sand was everywhere in the air.
This was the Eternal Battlefield.
Long Chen smelled the scent of blood in the air, and the scent of rusted metal. He did not know if the winds had brought the scent here, or perhaps it had been here for countless years.
Looking far ahead at the desolate patch of land, Long Chen suddenly felt his hand vibrate. The Five Emperor Seal in his right palm had vibrated once, as if it had arrived in a familiar place. Through the seal, he felt like a blurry image had appeared in his mind.
He saw a vast battlefield. The terrain looked exactly like the place he was looking at, but it was filled with endless killing and a dense crowd of soldiers. Fresh blood, weapons, and pieces of flesh were scattered on the ground. Corpses were everywhere as well, and there was so much blood that it formed rivers.
Above the crowd were a dozen shining silhouettes. One of them had a long, starry spear in his hand. This was undeniably the Seven Star Lord. The others were likely the Seven Lords. Above them were five silhouettes bathed in lights of different colors. Those were the famous Five Emperors. 𝑅𝖆N𝘖B̧
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth. The Five Emperors held the highest ranks in the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory, and they were considered the founders of the human race in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.
This image flashed in Long Chen’s mind only for a moment. He only managed to catch a glimpse before it completely disappeared. He had not even confirmed if those were the Five Emperors, but when the image disappeared, he got a brief glance of the Five Emperors’ enemies.
They were a group of black-clothed people, and they approached from the horizon far away. They were radiating a terrifying killing intent.
Long Chen trembled. He remembered that Suyan had been hurt by black-clothed people like them. Could these black-clothed people be the ones who appeared in the Middle Ages? Were they the mysterious invaders? Why were they here now?
Long Chen felt like he had a brief idea of the situation.
He felt slightly uncomfortable, especially when he saw the Five Emperors’ enemies and realized they were also black-clothed people. However, he was helpless, as he was no match for them. The black-clothed people were at least on Lei Ji’s level.
Their presence was like a thorn in his flesh.
They are probably the ones who designed this game in the Ancient Graveyard. Why are they doing this though? What are their true intentions? Long Chen could not figure it out.
Since they have planned the game, then they will surely appear at the end of the game. The ultimate treasure in the Ancient Graveyard is the Five Emperors’ treasure, and we are about to fight hard for the Yellow Emperor Key. Could these people’s true intentions be related to the Five Emperors’ treasure?
Long Chen was only guessing. He could not confirm if this was true.
He was only dazed for a moment as many thoughts ran through his mind.
“Long Chen, what are you thinking about? Let’s go. The gathering point with the other factions will be outside the city ruins. The other two factions are closer to this place, and tomorrow is the start of the event. They should have arrived by now,” Suyan said softly in his ear.
Long Chen smiled, then he caught up with the group.
“Right, Long Chen, why haven’t I seen this cat before?” Suxue was struck in the heart by the fuzzy little cat, and her eyes shone with maternal love as she looked at the cat on his shoulder.
“Uh … I found him next to a road and took him in as a pet. If you want, you can have him,” Long Chen said with a chuckle.
“Really?” Suxue’s eyes lit up as she stared at the black, fuzzy Dream Demon body that Little Cat had possessed. She said gently, “Come to me, darling.”
Women could not resist cute pets like this one.
Little Cat’s eyes widened. He had no reason to refuse such a tempting offer, so he immediately shot into Suxue’s arms. Then he reached out toward her full chest with his fuzzy claws. But when he almost touched her, Long Chen quickly snatched him back.
“You smelly bastard! What are you doing? I almost got to touch her boobs! You ruined everything! You deserve a beating.”
Little Cat glared at Long Chen, baring his teeth and waving his claws. Unfortunately, the Dream Demon only knew hallucinatory magic and was weaker than the average beast, so he could not break free.
“You perverted cat! If I don’t discipline you, you’ll just keep embarrassing me.” Long Chen laughed, then stuffed him in the Primordial Realm. Although Little Cat was unwilling, he was not strong enough to resist.
“You bastard! You’re jealous of me! I am a handsome, magnificent god, and years ago, I was the number one, most handsome man in the beast world! No beautiful girl could escape from me! It did not matter if they were human or beast, I gladly accepted them all! This beautiful maiden came to me herself, yet you stopped her! You imbecile! You deserve to be chopped to pieces!”
Suxue looked at Long Chen and Little Cat, stunned. Although it was a little cat, it spoke human language. That was shocking enough, but the most shocking thing was that it was a perverted cat …
