Chapter Thirty-Four: Going into Battle

  Today is the third watch...

  And just like entering the Blood Cavern, they spent a large amount of Crystal Stones before being teleported into the Blazing Sky Demon Domain. Zhang Chong also recognized that among the people who had accompanied him in the Longevity Gate were several familiar faces.

  Lin Ye, entered the gate five years ago, a strong fourth-stage Godly Power user.

  Ma Cheng, a four-year newcomer, is a strong third-tier Godly Power user.

  Xu Guang, a four-year entrant, a strong third-tier Godly Power stage cultivator.

  Liu Sheng also managed to catch the last bus, and in the last month, he broke through to become a strong first-class Godly Power, while his advantage in the domain made him the most formidable figure among the five.

  "Refining the body already has a domain, really is a young genius." Lin Ye sighed and said that he only realized the domain after reaching the fourth stage, compared to Liu Sheng, it was unknown how long later. And among these five people, only he and Liu Sheng had domains, the other two powerful gods did not have domains, let alone Zhang Chong.

  "Your movement is fast enough. Even if you're just a Body Tempering stage strongman, it's possible that you can still pass the first round of eliminations." Ma Cheng said to Zhang Chong.

  "Really? I can pass the first round, aren't you guys joking?" Zhang Chong said with a smile, not minding his own lack of strength. He got along quickly with others, and everyone else took a step closer to him in their hearts since he wasn't afraid to talk about his weaknesses.

  "It's indeed possible," Lin Ye said.

  Lin Ye explained the rules of the first round, which was actually very beneficial to Zhang Chong. The ten thousand people would be divided into groups of a thousand each, and all one thousand people in each group would enter the stage at the same time with no restrictions on any rules. In the end, the hundred people left on the stage would be considered winners.

  "But among these ten thousand people, less than five percent of the young geniuses are Refining Body level strong practitioners, and the rest are all Divine Power level strong practitioners. Therefore, if you can really advance, you will not be inferior to the person who finally wins the championship. Not only that, but the reward for advancing also includes ten fourth-grade crystal stones." Lin Ye said this last sentence with a smile.

  His qualifications are considered to be above average, and he is also a direct disciple of Ting Feng Luo. Although this time he was sent out by Ting Feng Luo, in his heart, he knew that the two people Ting Feng Luo valued the most were Liu Sheng and Zhang Chong. Liu Sheng's domain was extremely powerful, although he was only at the first stage of the Divine Power level, he thought to himself that he was no match for this Liu Sheng.

  As for Zhang Chong, he was the more mysterious one. His speed was extremely fast, which was obvious at a glance. However, judging from Feng Xia's attitude towards him, it seemed that he valued Zhang Chong even more than Liu Sheng. This suggested that Zhang Chong must also have some incredibly powerful hidden moves up his sleeve.

  Lin Ye immediately understood that this trip was necessary to get along with Liu Sheng and Zhang Chong, as it seemed that after getting along well with these two in the Changsheng Gate, the road ahead would be much smoother.

  With these thoughts in mind, Lin Ye was nominally the leader of the five, but he was extremely humble towards Liu Sheng and Zhang Chong. The other two people also followed suit when they saw Lin Ye's attitude.

  "Ten fourth-grade crystal stones." Zhang Chongzheng was being toyed with by Wang Daozhong, feeling embarrassed and frustrated, when he heard these few words. His eyes suddenly lit up. He had made up his mind that no matter what, he would fight to be the last one standing on stage. Ten fourth-grade crystal stones were equivalent to a thousand third-grade crystal stones after all.

  The environment of the Blazing Heaven Demon Domain was vast and expansive, and as soon as Zhang Chong walked out of the transmission array, he felt refreshed and invigorated. He could faintly sense that the heavenly energy here was much denser than in the Yang Realm.

  Lin Ye, although not as talented as Liu Sheng, had been in the Long Life Gate for a long time and knew a lot about this demon realm. He told them the situation here. Originally, only the boundary was naturally formed, but the demon realm was not naturally formed. It was created by powerful demons using their great magical powers to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The power of heaven and earth here is dense, suitable for cultivation, but it does not produce heavenly materials or earthly treasures.

  Because the heavenly material and earthly treasure are born from nature, they exist in all realms. Therefore, the struggle for control of the realm between the cultivators of immortality and the cultivators of magic is extremely fierce. Their goal is to control a realm, then concentrate the heavenly material and earthly treasure within it, using these to create a territory suitable for themselves.

  The Demon Realm is a place where demons cultivate. Different demon realms have different purposes, and the Blazing Sky Demon Realm was created for young geniuses among the demon clans.

  After hearing Lin Ye say these words, Zhang Chong finally somewhat understood why the cultivators of immortality and the cultivators of magic would constantly fight over the boundary.

  But there was one thing that he found extremely strange, if both sides would fight fiercely for the border, why were the strongest powers on both sides in the Yang realm only at the Yuan Ying and Night Demon levels?

  "It's like this, both sides are fighting for the resources within the boundary. But if the forces dispatched by both sides exceed the boundary's tolerance range, it won't just affect the ordinary people living within the boundary, making them suffer a disaster, but also may directly destroy the boundary itself. If such a situation occurs, neither side will benefit, and instead, it will lead to extreme chaos."

  If the cultivators and demon cultivators really fought to the point of no return, then it would be a case of two losses, and even if one side emerged victorious, there would be very few remaining heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could still be used.

  That's why both sides define the scope of their strength, and for different boundaries, they are divided into different levels. Both sides have a tacit understanding and will not send out teams that exceed the tolerance range of the boundary. As for Yangjie, it can be considered a mid-to-low-level boundary, so at most, only one strong Night Yaksha can stay within the boundary."

  Lin told them about these things in great detail, and finally added a sentence.

  "In fact, in this world, apart from the 360 realms, there are still many places where heavenly treasures exist, such as the Desolate Ancient Land, the Mountain Range of Demonic Beasts, the Rakshasa Sea, and the Heavenly Canopy. These places are also filled with abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, these places either have extraordinary dangers with powerful demonic beasts roaming about, or are mysterious and unpredictable, making it difficult to enter or exit. Therefore, these places are more suitable for adventurers to explore, whereas for large groups, competing for the realms is faster and more stable."

  Zhang Chong listened to Lin Ye say these unheard-of places, and he was also extremely curious. He thought to himself, "There are actually so many places in the world that hide treasures? It seems that on this trip back, if there's an opportunity, it's worth going to these places to try one's luck." Thinking about it, his own luck had always been exceptionally good, and who knows, he might stumble upon a huge treasure trove, which would make him set for life.

  A few people chatted and walked around, under the guidance of the road, they also found the rooms arranged for them and settled down.

  The first stage of the competition was divided into three days.

  Although there were 10,000 participants, according to the rules, it was divided into units of 1,000 people and competed in ten rounds of elimination matches, so the competition also proceeded extremely quickly.

  The area of the trial field is extremely large, suspended high in mid-air, with fifty powerful night yaksha-level experts arrayed around it to provide emergency medical treatment for the injured at any time. As a result, although the trials are intense, the mortality rate is not high, generally around five percent.

  Liu Sheng was assigned to the first group, he stood on the field, holding a dark long gun in his hand, and as soon as he looked up at the gun body, he felt a heavy feeling. Lin Ye was in the same group with him, and in his hands were two flying knives. The two of them being from the same school, stood together.

  "The competition is about to begin!" With a loud shout, the crisp sound of the starting bell rang out.

  "Be careful~~~" Liu Sheng and Lin Ye reminded each other before charging forward.

  Liu Sheng's figure was not swift, but when his big step leaped forward, the long spear in his hand swung out and actually emitted a clear ringing sound.

  "Great Wall~~~"

  Shen Lao's expression turned stern, he was a Shura-level expert and one of the five judges this time. Seeing Liu Sheng's magic guard, which seemed ordinary but moved like a living thing, he already understood in his heart.

  This black long spear is a high-ranking magic guard. In contrast, Liu Sheng's potential is also extremely strong.
