Chapter 1281: A chance to show off the Boundless Battlefield

Despite the apparent calm in the current Immortal Domain, an undercurrent surged beneath the surface, resembling a hidden dark side. Even an immortal king, if inadvertently entangled, would find their body shattered at every turn.

The Moon King was self-aware, having broken through the immortal king realm with the legacy left by her predecessors. He became a generation of immortal male kings overseeing numerous universes. However, his talent was comparatively lower than others at the same level. Many individuals of her caliber had spent tens of millions if not longer, trapped in this realm.

While the environment in the current Immortal Domain had become more conducive to cultivation, it was only a temporary change. The Moon King foresaw a looming catastrophe shortly, taking decades at the fastest and a hundred years at the slowest.

What could they achieve in this time frame? Reach the unattainable emperor realm? That seemed even more impossible.

Consequently, the Moon King had a plan. He abandoned the pursuit of understanding Dao-building expertise and focused on serving Gu Changge, aiming to capture his attention. Believing this strategy to be his best chance at survival during the impending catastrophe, he aimed to prevent his Dao Fruit from shattering and her soul from scattering.

In the Moon King’s view, becoming Gu Changge’s companion would be ideal and perfect. Unfortunately, he considered the likelihood of this happening quite slim. Gu Changge showed no interest in him, even during his time in the Moon King’s mansion. Moon King had attempted to get closer to him, but Gu Changge treated him as if he were invisible.

This rejection left the Moon King disheartened. Despite his allure and the numerous immortal kings pursuing him in the vast Immortal Domain, Gu Changge seemed indifferent. Rumors even circulated that the Grand Palace Master of the Immortal Palace was one of his confidantes. However, Moon King remained skeptical about such gossip.

Considering even his confidante could attack, it raised questions about Gu Changge’s emotional detachment. The Moon King pondered the situation, reasoning, “Since I’ve identified clues that the land of reincarnation may appear, why not investigate it myself? It’s an opportunity for me to showcase my capabilities.”

His beautiful eyes flickering, the Moon King initially planned to send his subordinates to investigate the land of reincarnation. However, he reconsidered, recognizing that Gu Changge personally ordered this mission, indicating its significance.

Despite the potential dangers in the dark tide, the Immortal King possessed the means to confront them, ensuring his safety.

Willing to risk his life for this task, Moon King waved her jade hand, summoning a fog-like jade belt from the cave’s depths. Surrounded by chaotic air, it wrapped around her graceful waist. This was his Immortal King Weapon, crafted from exceedingly rare mother gold. Indestructible yet soft, it could transform into numerous weapons, displaying incredible power.

Even after securing the Immortal King Artifact, Moon King harbored concerns. He gathered a few more secret treasures before tearing apart the fabric of the universe, crossing the void, and heading to the boundless battlefield.

Guarded by several great families of immortal kings from the former Central Immortal Domain, the location was heavily fortified. However, it couldn’t impede an immortal king, and arriving in the name of Gu Changge, no one dared to obstruct him.

The Boundless Battlefield earned its name due to its connection to the vast Boundless Battlefield. In ancient times, it served as a battlefield with an unknown origin, burying countless individuals.

Some ruins date back to eras older than the Immortal Ancient Era, preceding the Forbidden Era. Signs indicated the existence of a more magnificent era before the Immortal Era. Many descendants had inherited the legacies of their predecessors from the boundless battlefield.

In the chaos of the Boundless Battlefield, someone unearthed an incomplete treasure infused with innate good fortune, ascending to the realm of an immortal king. Others discovered ancient pill recipes, reshaping the talent of their root bones and defying fate. Even the Moon King’s materials for crafting the Immortal King Artifact, the Moon God Belt, were acquired from this enigmatic battlefield.

The Boundless Battlefield held boundless possibilities for the diverse Dao practitioners across the Immortal Domain. Individuals were stationed to guard against outsiders attempting to infiltrate this realm. The Moon King himself harbored ambitions of claiming the vast battlefield for her own, seeking to monopolize its opportunities.

The expansive red terrain, seemingly stained with blood, exhibited rolling yellow sand, flickering skies, and pervasive gloom. The boundless expanse resembled an endless continent marked by devastation, scattered with numerous significant rifts and erupting bloody haze.

In the distance, spiritual energy surged toward the sky, emanating from the corpse of a peerless powerhouse that had perished countless years ago. Periodically, it released terrifying energy like a volcano, instantly reducing any creatures nearby to ashes.

For ordinary beings, this place resembled a tragic hell where countless corpses lay buried. Even minor patches of yellow mud or pools of blood exuded a terrible murderous aura capable of overturning the world.

While the Boundless Battlefield presented endless opportunities, it also housed countless crises. The pervasive yellow sand failed to conceal the traces of ancient wars that had left indelible marks.

A majestic ancient city was suspended in the air like an impregnable imperial gate at the border of this ancient battlefield. The aura exuded majesty, surrounded by stars that created a misty cosmic atmosphere around the city.

Each old star of life paled in comparison, appearing as insignificant dust in its presence. The city overlooked the entire world, while a terrifying and bottomless sword mark graced the sky outside as if seeking to cleave the world in two.

The expansive sword mark extended and transformed into a barrier, obstructing entry into the boundless battlefield. Even the Immortal King hesitated to approach as if proximity to the mark could cause their body to erupt.

Come back, come back, or your soul won’t return.

Ancient songs echoed within the old city, reminiscent of someone recalling ancestral memories, filled with lamentation and mourning. Those who heard the songs couldn’t help shedding tears.

The city walls bore the scars of countless battles—evidence of swords, guns, spears, and halberds clashing in fierce combat. After enduring numerous conflicts, the towering city gate stood as high as the heavens.

Each day, cultivators from across the immortal domain flocked to the city for training or to venture to the boundless battlefield in search of opportunities.

They seldom delved deep into the battlefield, as various Dao forces had already explored the outer regions. However, there remained a chance that something valuable had been overlooked.
