Capítulo 1723: Chapter 1809: Ancient Battlefield
“These people’s movements are so mysterious, I really don’t know what they’re up to.”
Chen Nan quietly followed behind. However, in just a few breaths’ time, he watched as the figures of the dozen or so practitioners ahead vanished one by one in the distance.
It was as if they had vanished into thin air, not a trace of their presence could be detected.
When chasing the little Heavenly Demon, Chen Nan was too far away and couldn’t see clearly, but this time he noticed everything distinctly.
The dozen practitioners led by the half-step supreme didn’t actually disappear into thin air; they entered a vortex and then were no longer seen.
“That must be a spatial node, but I don’t know what’s beyond it,” Chen Nan muttered to himself with furrowed brows as he gazed at the distance.
He waited a few breaths’ time before flying to the vortex’s location. Scanning it with his divine sense, he found nothing.
With his current cultivation, he simply could not peer beyond this spatial node.
Reflecting carefully, Chen Nan realized that the little Heavenly Demon must have entered here earlier when he disappeared.
However, these people seemed to enter this place with a purpose, while the little Heavenly Demon was merely flying aimlessly. So how did he know of this place?
Feeling somewhat puzzled, Chen Nan estimated that the dozen or so practitioners led by the half-step supreme had moved far ahead. Only then did he act, plunging into the vortex.
Upon entering the vortex, Chen Nan’s face changed drastically as he felt an uncomfortable stagnation all over his body. This place was full of death energy, making him feel very uneasy.
It was only then that he saw the surroundings clearly.
This place turned out to be an ancient battlefield, under a dim sky and a land marked by all sorts of terrifying traces of destruction. Chen Nan, scanning with his divine sense, even saw a bottomless crevice not far off.
That crevice seemed to have been caused by some weapon, for despite the countless years that have passed, it still bore remnants of a weapon’s terrifying killing aura.
The dozen practitioners weren’t too far away. Scanning around with his divine sense, Chen Nan quickly located them.
Not in a hurry to follow, he noticed that upon reaching this battlefield, they didn’t fly immediately. Instead, their bodies were enveloped by divine power to protect them from the death energy. They seemed to be discussing something.
With a Chaos Sacred Body, even in the face of this dreadful death energy, Chen Nan, though uncomfortable, wasn’t actually harmed. In fact, it even offered some benefits to him.
Within chaos lies both life and death. The death energy, transformed by the Chaos Body, could be turned into vitality, strengthening his life force.
Having previously used the Heavenly Reversal Demon Technique, though halted by a Heart Demon, his spirit had been somewhat depleted, leaving his current power not at its peak.
His body soon began to absorb and transform the death energy, even feeling a warm comfort as countless vital energies burst forth in his body, entering his meridians to refine them.
“The death energy here is so dense, but the Chaos Sacred Body is truly powerful. No wonder my grandmaster was so formidable back then. With this Chaos Sacred Body, should I one day ascend to the Supreme Realm, there might be few opponents in the world.”
Chen Nan couldn’t help but daydream, losing focus for a moment.
But he quickly regained his senses, immediately halting such thoughts.
As his thoughts ceased, a drop of sweat trickled down his forehead. “That was close. I almost succumbed to evil thoughts,” he thought to himself.
One must have indomitable spirit but should never have arrogance.
There are always others stronger, and beyond Heaven stands a greater Heaven. There are countless powerful beings in the Mortal World I am unaware of, and who knows how many geniuses exist in the Outer Domain.
Steadying his mind, Chen Nan utilized the Earth Element Heaven Technique, instantly diving into the ground to move close to the practitioners and stealthily listen to their conversation.
Among these dozen or so practitioners, the strongest was the half-step supreme, while the weakest two were Heavenly Monarch Eighth Layer super strong men, and the rest were invincible Heavenly Monarch Ninth Layer warriors.
Seeing their cultivation, Chen Nan couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
Even if he pushed his current power to the utmost, he could only contend with invincible strong people.
Among the dozen or so practitioners, the two super-strong men would be the easiest to deal with. But he had no idea where the little Heavenly Demon was on this ancient battlefield, just hoping he wouldn’t encounter them, or it would be unpredictable.
While pondering, he heard voices speaking above.
“This Ancient God Demon Battlefield is indeed powerful. Though countless years have passed, the battle scars are preserved so intact. It’s a pity that the presence of death energy means many treasures, even if not completely destroyed, have lingered here for countless years and likely can’t be restored.”
“Brother Ni Tian is right. There are indeed many treasures in this Ancient God Demon Battlefield, but many have been eroded. Venturing deeper into the core might be dangerous, especially since the Palace Master of the Twelve Palaces was killed by the Heaven Punishment Alliance. The prohibition has faded, and if there’s anything strange inside…”
The speakers were invincible Heavenly Monarch Ninth Layer practitioners, powerful but seemingly indecisive.
Chen Nan wasn’t surprised by their attitude. He was immensely shocked when he had just entered. His divine sense couldn’t extend too far, lest it be consumed by death energy, and there seemed to be a terrifying lingering force across the battlefield.
Confronted with the unknown power, regardless of cultivation level, fear is natural.
Even these powerful Human Clan practitioners, mostly at the invincible realm, had fears they couldn’t shake.
Amid the conversation between the two, the half-step supreme spoke: “The disappearance of the Heavenly People Twelve Palaces’ prohibition is both good and bad. We can easily enter here but must face the unknown. From predicting the heavenly secrets, I knew earlier the Heavenly People Clan is resurrecting the Demon Clan Supreme, and this ancient battlefield might still harbor some giants. Even if I intervene, the outcome is uncertain.”
“What, even if you intervene, Old Ancestor…”
The dozen practitioners all expressed their shock simultaneously, their reliance on the half-step supreme palpable.
No one expected their ancestor to make such a statement, leaving them truly surprised.
