Chapter 2485 - 2484: Departure for the Extraterrestrial Battlefield
Chapter 2485: Chapter 2484: Departure for the Extraterrestrial Battlefield
The dawn broke, and golden sunlight penetrated the mist, gently bathing the war department.
Lin Dong stood at the entrance of the small courtyard, looking at the five women in front of him who would soon part ways with him, his heart a mix of emotions.
Bai Jue gently caressed her slightly swollen belly, maternal radiance gleaming in her eyes.
Qiao Bing still maintained her ice queen demeanor, but at the moment, her eyes held warmth and reluctance.
Tang Mu was pure and flawless, like a newly blooming lotus, her eyes shimmering with worry about the unknown and attachment to Lin Dong.
Li Qingcheng, passionate and fiery, tightly held Lin Dong’s hand, as if she wanted to preserve this warmth forever.
And Qin Yitian, the most composed of them all, stood silently to the side, eyes filled with both determination and deep trust in Lin Dong.
"Dongzi, you can leave without worry. No matter where you are, take good care of yourself and return safely." Bai Jue’s voice was tinged with a hint of choking. She knew she could not become a burden on Lin Dong’s path forward, but the reluctance in her heart was hard to express.
Lin Dong gently embraced her, saying softly, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself. I still need to come back and watch our child grow up."
"These are gifts I’ve prepared for you all, to protect you at critical moments." Saying this, he took out five talismans that emitted a soft glow and handed them to each of the five.
"These are divine talismans I’ve refined, called Soul Talismans. Each Soul Talisman contains a ’mental power thought’ of mine. When you encounter a life-threatening danger, just recite the incantation to activate it, and the mental power thought within will transform into my shadow, with strength comparable to an Earth Realm martial artist, enough to protect you completely."
"But remember, each Soul Talisman can only be used once, so cherish it." Lin Dong’s words were filled with care and reluctance for them.
Receiving the Soul Talismans, all five felt a warmth in their hearts, their eyes slightly red.
Qiao Bing gently nodded, keeping the talisman close, hiding under her icy exterior a deep reliance on Lin Dong.
Tang Mu clasped her hands together, placing the Soul Talisman on her chest, praying softly, hoping this power would always guard the one she loves.
Li Qingcheng hugged Lin Dong tightly, as if wanting to engrave this moment in her heart forever.
Qin Yitian was the first to regain her composure. She knew deeply the significance of Lin Dong’s journey, silently keeping the talisman, her gaze full of determination for the future.
"Lin Dong, we’ll wait for you to come back with news of victory." Qin Yitian’s words were brief and powerful; she was the most steady among the five and the one who understood Lin Dong’s resolve the most.
She was also the only one who knew Lin Dong was afflicted by the Dead Soul Curse.
And she knew Lin Dong had to go to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield!
Looking at them, Lin Dong felt a surge of gratitude and reluctance.
He knew this farewell might mean a long wait.
He clenched his fist, silently saying to himself: "I must find the Dragon’s saliva and Heart Speech Flower to break the Dead Soul Curse on me! I absolutely cannot abandon them!"
"Goodbye, my loves. When I return, may we gather here again to admire the stars together."
With those words, Lin Dong turned and set off for the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, his silhouette gradually disappearing into the morning light.
Watching Lin Dong’s departing figure, the five prayed in their hearts for Lin Dong’s safe return.
"When will he be able to stop moving forward and live with us like an ordinary person?" Qiao Bing lamented.
Beside her, Qin Yitian said, "The Martial Arts World is like a Jianghu. Once you enter, you’re no longer your own master."
"Perhaps only when he reaches the peak of the Martial Arts and becomes the strongest myth of the present time, can he rest and stop."
...
Elsewhere, after leaving the courtyard, Lin Dong arrived at the Dragon Group Training Base.
There, several supersonic aircrafts from the Dragon Country War Department were parked.
Even the War God of the Nation and Dragon King War God personally came.
They came to see off Lin Dong and the Dragon Group members.
"War God Lin, when you reach the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, you can find War God Hei Long. War God Hei Long represents our Dragon Country War Department, leading warriors to guard a side. There is a safe base belonging to our Dragon Country!" the War God of the Nation said openly when he saw Lin Dong approaching.
Lin Dong nodded, "Okay, when I reach the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, I will certainly look for War God Hei Long."
"Hmm hmm, then the Dragon Group members are entrusted to you. Please, War God Lin, take good care of them." Saying this, the War God of the Nation saluted Lin Dong.
Lin Dong hurriedly returned the salute.
Afterward, the Dragon King War God spoke to Lin Dong: "War God Lin, we look forward to the good news you bring back from the Extraterrestrial Battlefield."
"Find what you seek! And make our Dragon Country’s War Department the strongest force in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield!"
Saying this, he patted Lin Dong’s shoulder.
Lin Dong nodded heavily.
After bidding farewell to the two war gods, Lin Dong boarded the supersonic aircraft with the Dragon Group members.
And the supersonic aircraft, carrying their group, headed for the entrance of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
The entrance to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield is in the Arctic Glacial Lands.
Three hundred years ago, the world suddenly changed, and a mysterious temporal space rift quietly opened in the void of the Arctic Glacial Lands.
There, a gate like an aurora opened, and martial artists who stepped inside discovered a vast void space.
This secret realm seemed to be detached from the known world, forming its own world, with spiritual energy so dense it was suffocating, far beyond the mundane. Martial artists who stumbled upon this realm were astounded by what they saw.
Ancient trees reaching for the sky, spiritual springs trickling, and the ground was littered with rare Heavenly and Earthly treasures, especially the legendary Semi Medicine Kings and Medicine Kings, whose quantity and quality were astonishing, with a value beyond measure.
The emergence of the secret realm quickly attracted the attention of the Martial Arts World of major countries worldwide, as well as major forces and powerhouses.
Martial artists, in order to compete for these precious resources, flocked to this void secret realm, and heart-stopping battles for possession ensued.
In this land, there were no laws, no rules, only strength and greed.
The collisions between Heavenly Realm powerhouses were earth-shattering, Earth Realm martial artists could not escape death, and grandmaster-level figures were like ants. The entire world’s Martial Arts World, during that period, descended into unprecedented turmoil and chaos because of this secret realm.
Facing such a tragic situation, major countries and forces finally realized that letting the situation continue unchecked would only lead to self-destruction.
Thus, after paying a huge price, representatives from all sides gathered to discuss countermeasures, ultimately reaching numerous agreements.
First, limiting the number of martial artists entering: Only elite martial artists dispatched by war departments or specific official forces of various countries were allowed to enter the void secret realm, with strict control on the number to reduce internal conflicts.
Second, establishing safe bases: Each country needed to establish safe bases within the secret realm as shelters for their martial artists and resource transit stations, and as platforms for handling internal affairs and mediating disputes.
Third, fair competition: For the rare resources within the secret realm, especially the top treasures like Medicine Kings, fair competition principles were implemented, prohibiting senseless slaughter and malicious robbery.
Heavenly Realm constraint: As the pinnacle power of the whole world, Heavenly Realm martial artists must restrain themselves and must not easily harm fellow martial artists. Offenders would be subject to joint sanctions by all parties involved in the alliance agreement.
With the implementation of the agreements by all parties, the chaotic situation within the void secret realm gradually came under control.
While competing for resources, martial artists also began to explore the true mysteries of this mysterious domain, with many achieving unprecedented breakthroughs and growth within the secret realm.
At the same time, cooperation and competition between countries’ war departments coexisted, promoting the exchange and development of martial arts skills and cultivation methods.
But despite this, the dangers inside are still unmatched by the outside world.
At the same time, it gradually evolved into the battlefield of the war departments of various countries.
For example, when certain irresolvable issues arose, the war departments of both sides would agree to battle inside.
Over time, this void secret realm was called the ’Extraterrestrial Battlefield’ by martial artists from countries worldwide!
However, the truth of the void secret realm remains shrouded in mystery; why did that space-time rift suddenly open?
Is there a deeper secret hidden behind the secret realm?
All of this is still unknown.
Although the Extraterrestrial Battlefield has existed for over three hundred years, and human martial artists have been exploring it for three hundred years.
But, in regards to this Extraterrestrial Battlefield, the understanding of human martial artists across the world still is just the tip of the iceberg.
There are still too many secrets inside, waiting for future generations to uncover.
