Chapter 214: Attack On The Primordial Battlefield
Blood Demon Valley, 500 miles away from the Primordial Battlefield’s perimeter...
A group of disciples wearing the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s garment entered the valley.
“Be careful, guys. This Blood Demon Valley is the only way to the battlefield’s inner region. Be on alert for ambushes,” Zhang San reminded his team. He was this group’s leader and had a strong aura around him.
He was ranked 10th in the Divine Firmament’s Foundation Establishment List and was a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator. In fact, his rank was higher before Shen Tian, Zhao Hao, and Eunuch Gui joined the sacred ground.
Other than Qin Yundi, there were few who could beat him in combat.
However, things changed after Shen Tian, and his friends joined.
These fellows possessed Mixed Divine Lightning Origin, so after they got their hands on the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique, it would be easy for them to get its basics.
They had a huge advantage among their peers as the Mixed Divine Lightning Origin boosted their power greatly.
Although they looked super weak compared to Shen Tian, they were powerful cultivators if they were to compare with the rest of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sacred ground.
This was especially so for Zhao Hao, Qin Gao, and Eunuch Gui as they also cultivated the Sun Imperial Sutra.
Not only that, but Zhao Hao also had the Nan Ming Li Fire and Qian Yang Sword Art. These allowed him to be almost invincible among the Foundation Establishment cultivators. He was only weaker than Shen Tian and Qin Yundi.
Qin Gao had caught up with the rest quickly. After refining the Nirvana Holy Liquid, he had successfully become a Foundation Establishment cultivator and achieved Greater Mastery over the Demon Book of Hyuga.
His sword attack was incredibly fast, and cultivators at his level could not take more than three attacks from him. Some even called him Three Strike Man.
For Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, Zhen Zhijia, and Xiong Meng, their power had been boosted by the Nirvana Holy Liquid and Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique too. They were ranked among the top 30 on the list.
Some of the other disciples that used to rank higher had been pushed back because of them. However, they did not complain about it at all as they had better privileges than in the past.
Ever since Shen Tian had appeared, the Lightning Explosion Talisman’s price had dropped significantly. It was at least half the price compared to outside.
With the cheaper talisman, the disciples were safer when going out for experiential journeys. Some even bought the talisman for their friends outside of the sacred ground and managed to earn some money from it.
Thus, everyone had a favorable impression of the new Saint. They respected and supported him wholeheartedly.
“I wonder what Senior Brother Yundi and Zhao Hao are doing with the Saint.”
Zhang San sighed and said to himself, I heard from other disciples that our Saint is the Son of Providence. He can encounter a fortuitous opportunity by just strolling around.
It’s my fault for being so weak. My strength is not good enough, and I’m not so good at flattering him, unlike Senior Brother Qin and Song. Otherwise, the Saint would have brought me with them for the trial too! I’m so jealous right now!
Although Zhang San had never mentioned this thought to others before, everyone knew what he was thinking.
Every Divine Firmament Sacred Ground disciple in the Primordial Battlefield was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with good foundations. Although there were many of them, that did not make them any less valuable as each individual could be another sect’s core disciple!
They were talented, so they could sense how amazing and transcendent their Saint was.
After joining the Favored Ones group, the Saint’s charm and influence only continued to mesmerize them.
Well... No female cultivators could control themselves after seeing Shen Tian’s smile.
No male cultivator could control themselves after seeing... the discount on Lightning Explosion Talismans.
Since they had gotten all the benefits simply by joining the Favored Ones group, what more could they get if they were to accompany him?
Zhang San was very envious right now.
There are so many fortuitous opportunities in the Primordial Battlefield. They must have fruitful discoveries by now!
I’m so jealous of them!
I should have flattered the Saint more too!
Sssss!
Oh, I’m so sour right now!
Zhang San took a bottle of white liquid out of his storage ring.
“Guys! Be Alert. Get ready to help one another and prepare the holy liquid!”
The ten disciples walked into the Blood Demon Valley carefully, each holding a few Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans in their hands.
There would be at least one or two Golden Core evil monsters guarding the valley from their experience. It was not hard for the ten of them to defeat the evil monsters together, but they had to be cautious.
After all, the opponents exceeded their cultivation level by one stage!
Zhang San led his companions into the valley slowly and carefully. When they were near the center of the valley, a bloody smell attacked their nostrils.
“It’s a Blood Demon! Watch out!”
Before entering the Primordial Battlefield, they had memorized the tips and strategies for the trial.
Zhang San yelled, “Brothers, use the Divine Firmament Killing Evil Sword!”
The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground disciples were very well-trained. Upon receiving Zhang San’s command, their swords flew out and formed a circle around the group.
Lightning sparked on the swords and formed a protective shield.
As the smell of blood got stronger, the group heard thunderous footsteps approaching them.
Soon, a giant Blood Demon appeared in front of them. Its body was formed by crimson red blood, and it was wearing a red helmet.
Zhang San’s heart sank when he saw the enemy and sensed the overbearing pressure the demon exuded.
This is not a Golden Core Blood Demon at all! It’s even stronger than a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Zhang San ordered swiftly, “There’s no way we can beat it. Use all your Lightning Explosion Talisman sand escape!”
Zhang San did not lose to his fear and made the right decision quickly. As for the others, they obeyed without hesitation.
Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
...
Numerous Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans shot at the Blood Demon and exploded.
Unfortunately, they were not trained in explosives like Qin Yundi, and thus the explosions’ impact was very diverted.
The talismans only managed to slow down the Blood Demon without hurting it.
Soon, all the talismans were exhausted, and the Blood Demon was only one step behind them.
The demon slammed the ground, and a pool of blood attacked them like a swamp.
In the next instant, the entire ground was covered by the blood pool, and it started to form a vortex in the center. The cultivators were trapped in it and were slowly being pulled toward the vortex.
“Damn! Why is a Nascent Soul monster here in the Blood Demon Valley?”
“Isn’t this the trial for Foundation Establishment cultivators? An undead monster this strong is insane!”
“By right, all the Nascent Soul monsters should be in the center of the Primordial Battlefield!”
“We need Senior Brother! Call his Saint Token and ask Senior Brother for help!”
“Yes! Senior Brother will have a way to kill this monster!”
...
After a few moments, all the shouting and crying voices were swallowed by the pool of blood.
The Blood Demon Valley became quiet again, and the demon walked away slowly.
Six men in black garments appeared from the darkness. They all wore special masks that covered their auras completely, and each of them had Metal, Wood, Fire, Earth, and All embroidered on their sleeves.
“This location is indeed the best spot to hunt! Your Highness is so clever! Black Wood admires you very much!”
“This is the seventh team we caught! Your Highness is so smart!”
“Your Highness, why don’t we stop them from asking for help?”
The one with the word ‘All’ on his sleeve said in a cunning tone, “I have my plan.
“I did my research regarding this trial beforehand. A few core members are participating in it, such as Shen Tian, Qin Yundi, and Zhao Hao from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, and the true disciple, Xiao Ling, from the Jade Lake Sacred Ground.
“Although they are only Foundation Establishment cultivators, they have more treasures with them than Nascent Soul cultivators, especially this Shen Tian! I heard that he has a large amount of Nirvana Holy Liquid with him. He is worth a thousand other talented cultivators.”
Hei Yuan removed his mask and licked his lips before putting the mask back on.
He then went on. “As long as we catch him, there will be a higher chance for our plan to be successful!
“I only let one Blood Demon out so that these guys will think they have the opportunity to save their friends!
“Then, we can catch them in one fell swoop!
“I would like to catch those avian demons too, but it would be too troublesome that way.”
Hei Yuan’s subordinates praised him after hearing the plan.
“Wow! Your Highness is so genius! You have planned everything!”
“If you can get that treasure you are looking for, you won’t have to worry about your future anymore!”
“Your Highness, we will depend on you in the future!”
...
Hei Yuan was very pleased with all the flattering.
He smiled and waved his hand. “You guys are Evil Spirit’s core members. You will be rewarded greatly in the future.”
Then, Hei Yuan frowned and looked at the other side of the valley. “Someone is here!”
The six of them quickly hid in the darkness and watched the pathway.
A half-naked man covered in golden light appeared. There was a pair of golden wings on his back. He was clearly not a human cultivator.
Hei Yuan smiled in the darkness.
“It’s you! And you are alone? Hmph! You killed my pet, and now it’s time for revenge!”
