The Death Relics were located in the northwest of the Meteorfall Battlefield, some distance from where Mu Chen was. After they had made up their minds, they went straight ahead without any hesitation.

Due to time constraints, they were all in a hurry. Even though the Spirit Seeking Compass detected many relics along the way, and there even seemed to be a Grade Two Relic, Mu Chen ruthlessly ignored it, as his mind was set on the Death Relics.

Of course, to be exact, it was the information about the war troop dispatcher in the Death Relics that drove Mu Chen.

In today's vast Great Thousand World, war troop dispatchers were even more scarce than Spiritual Array Masters, so information about war troop dispatchers was rather rare. Anyone who had the opportunity to become a war troop dispatcher would most likely not pass up this opportunity.

Perhaps the two prodigies of fighting intent from Tian Xuan Hall and the Divine Pavilion had the same idea as Mu Chen, or else they would not have rushed so quickly.

Thus, with the same mindset, Mu Chen was heading as quickly as possible to the Death Relics that were now increasingly known to more and more people.

However, even though Mu Chen had pushed them to the extreme, it wasn't until the next evening that they set foot in the northwest.

Northwest region.

When Mu Chen stepped into the arena, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were darker, as the number of people there was much higher than anywhere else along the way.

On all sides of the sky, a steady stream of forces of different sizes roared past, then galloped toward the depths of the northwest.

Obviously, these men were coming towards the so-called Death Relics. Although it was clear that the Death Relics must be a murderous place, the rumor of the Grade One Relic was enough to tempt countless forces to the point of losing their rationality.

After all, the Grade One Relic was second only to the Earthly Sovereign Secret Treasure, including the legacy of the Divine Arts, natural treasures, divine artifacts, and so on, thus Sovereigns ranked lower than Earthly Sovereign would naturally be tempted.

Mu Chen looked at the level of activity bustling in the northwest, and his brows knitted as he frowned. Obviously, he had not expected that the uproar would be so great in the Death Relics.

Although the situation was somewhat chaotic, Mu Chen was not too worried. Their forces were strong, including their regular troops, four elite troops, plus four Sixth Grade Sovereigns. Such a lineup would be able to match some of the first-class forces who had come out in full force.

No matter how it was, this kind of strength under this prevailing trend would be sufficient to fight on par with the other powerful forces.

Mu Chen gazed into the distance, and in that deep place, there seemed to be a dark shadow looming over the heavens and earth. It was depressing, but in the end, it did not cause Mu Chen to be afraid. He smiled faintly.

"Let's go. How can Daluo Territory miss out on such a grand event? Let's see how many powerful men have come to the Death Relics."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to sweep out. Behind him, Nine Nether, the other four lords, and their elite armies transformed into silhouettes and followed closely behind.

With such a massive movement of people and horses, the magnificent gesture suddenly caused other forces' expressions to change as they hurriedly avoided them, not daring to obstruct them. They waited until Mu Chen had gone before murmurs began to spread.

"That seems to be the forces from Daluo Territory…"

"That leader, could it be Mu Chen, who has a famed reputation spreading wildly recently? I didn't expect him to rush here, too."

"It is said that the Death Relics have information about war troop dispatchers, and that Mu Chen seemed to be able to control fighting intent, and naturally would not let this opportunity pass."

"Heh heh, the two prodigies of fighting intent from Tian Xuan Hall and the Divine Pavilion have come, too. They seemed to be looking for Mu Chen before, but they didn't expect him to charge here himself."

"I have seen many battles between strong men. This confrontation between the gifted and talented prodigies will be my first time witnessing it. Now it is time to open our eyes and be impressed."

"Looks like this trip to the Death Relics will be rather interesting."

"…"

...

Deep in the Northwest region.

There was a vast darkness looming over the sky and the earth ahead, and in that darkness, it seemed as if the light had been swallowed up. Darkness surged, inflicting palpitating fear. This was where the Death Relics were located.

The bustle of activity reached its extreme on the periphery of the dark ruins, and countless silhouettes came in from the distance. Finally, they descended on this land.

Some powerful forces occupied the closest position to the Death Relics. If there was any change, they could seize the first opportunity at any time, while weaker forces could only retreat, not daring to compete for the favorable positions.

In such a place, it was clear that those who were stronger got better treatment.

All the forces in the world looked around, assessing the strength of others to determine how many competitors they would have on this trip.

These sweeping glances full of fear were mostly directed towards the various mountains ahead. On those peaks were the most famous and top-notch forces in the North Territory. They were incredibly strong and had a frightening lineup.

The most striking of them was near a mountain in the north, above which there were only a few figures, but all of their surroundings had astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations, the power of which could be clearly felt even at significant distances.

However, they apparently were not the focus of attention on the mountain. In front of them, there was a woman in a white dress sitting in a wheelchair. The woman's hair flowed freely down. She had fair skin like snow, her face was exquisite, and she had a kind of delicate and gentle demeanor, which made people want to embrace her, giving her a tender feeling of love.

However, although the girl in the white dress emanated an aura of weakness, the forces present dared not underestimate her, because they all knew that the person in front of them was the hidden prodigy of fighting intent.

Zhantai Liuli.

Although many people in the North Territory knew Fang Yi, the best of the young generation in the Divine Pavilion, only some really capable people knew that in the Divine Pavilion, in terms of potential, Zhantai Liuli was superior.

Although the latter was inferior to Fang Yi in terms of cultivation, in terms of being gifted in fighting intent, she far surpassed Fang Yi. The Master of the Divine Pavilion had made it clear that Zhantai Liuli was bound to become a true war troop dispatcher, and such a statement was sufficient to determine her extraordinary position in the Divine Pavilion.

However, the hidden prodigy of the Divine Pavilion did not pay attention to the countless gazes on her. Her gaze was calm as water, and looked only at the distant Death Relics enshrouded in the darkness, her eyes flashing as if they were detecting something.

In the silhouettes behind her, there were many "acquaintances" of Mu Chen's. Not only was Fang Yi there, but also Xu Ba, Lord Flaming Wolf, and Lord Celestial Bear. The lineup was equally extraordinary.

At the foot of the mountain, a silhouette suddenly swept up, and then whispered something to Fang Yi. The latter's face sank immediately. He turned to the crowd and said, "The forces of Daluo Territory are here, and Mu Chen is among them."

Upon hearing Mu Chen's name, Xu Ba and the others' faces turned steely.

The lady dressed in white remained calm, and there were no fluctuations in her beautiful eyes. A moment later, she just sighed softly and said gently, "Lord Xiao Fang, at present the relic remains the most important thing, and… there will be some people helping to test how capable the other party is."

Upon hearing her words, Fang Yi's expression flickered as he looked at a mountain in the distance and nodded slightly.

Whoosh!

Not long after they finished speaking, there was suddenly a gust of wind behind the arena, and countless forces turned around as a huge army that was like a rainstorm emerged, causing many people's expressions to twist in fear.

"Those are the forces from Daluo Territory!"

Among the numerous exclamations in the heavens and the earth, the vast army appeared directly in the sky, and Mu Chen, Nine Nether, the other lords appeared.

Mu Chen's gaze swept across the sky and the earth, feeling the strong and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations. Their eyes were slightly narrowed. This time, the relics had indeed attracted a lot of powerful forces.

"Let's head there."

Soon, Mu Chen turned his attention to the best places in front of them, and though there were already strong men gathering there, they were equally fearless due to their esteemed position in the North Territory.

Lord Mountain Cracker and the others nodded arrogantly, and then, with a wave of his hand, Mu Chen led a large army to pass by and to be stationed on the huge mountain that had been vacated.

However, just as Mu Chen was about to descend under the gaze of countless eyes, a shrill little chuckle was suddenly heard in the sky and the earth.

"Everyone, this place is not somewhere you can come and go as you please…"

Lord Mountain Cracker and the others felt a sudden chill as they turned their cold eyes to a distant peak where they could see the same majestic spiritual energy surge, and a figure emanating great spiritual power stood proudly.

Those were the forces from Tian Xuan Hall!

In front of the crowd, a black-clad man with bloodshot eyes smiled as he looked at the emotionless Mu Chen.

"I'm Xiao Tian from Tian Xuan Hall…"

His scarlet tongue licked his lips and then smiled unsettlingly at Mu Chen.

"I would like to borrow your head."
