125: Entering the battlefield ruins

At these words, Lu Ze frowned. Although he could discern some aspects of this formation, he never expected it to be like this.

Cheng Ran deduced several times, finally threw down his pen, and laughed, "As expected of a formation created to trap a Seventh-Order Demon Emperor, they had already planned to pay a huge price to ensure the Demon Emperor's demise!"

Cheng Ran pointed out several places on the blueprint, "This formation isn't just one as you see it, but three stacked together!"

"The first layer is a standard killing formation with separate gates of life and death! The second layer reverses the gates of life and death, and the third layer conceals everything!"

"Such a superposition of three gate formations is rare in the world. If you hadn't brought it today, I might never have seen such a formation in my life!"

Seeing Cheng Ran's astonishment, Lu Ze looked closely and finally understood some things.

"According to Teacher's meaning, entering might mean certain death?"

Once inside, every direction would be a gate of death. If he couldn't Breakthrough, he would be completely lost within it!

Cheng Ran was silent for a moment. "Not necessarily. This Battlefield Remains, after all, has endured for a long time. The energy operating the formation should not be enough to sustain its full power. Moreover, while it's said to be an immediate gate of death, there must be a point for Breakthrough!"

Cheng Ran pointed out a spot. "You can try to Breakthrough here when the time comes and see if you can break through the gate of death!"

Lu Ze nodded, remembering that location. With Cheng Ran's guidance, Lu Ze finally found some clues. After asking a few more questions, he left.

In the following days, Lu Ze remained immersed in cultivation and studying the formation.

Soon, the day to enter the Remains arrived!

...In the early morning.

Lu Ze and the selected individuals arrived at the South Plaza. Besides a few aristocratic young masters and Fu Liang, Xiong Lu was also among the group.

Meng Yanxing and Huan Shen did not show up; instead, Wang Ruzhu stood in mid-air, looking at everyone.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Wang Ruzhu directly said, "You should all have heard about the matters of this Remains, so I won't elaborate further. I will only highlight a few important points!"

"First, the opening time for this Remains is ten days! Second, upon entering the Remains, although various opportunities await you, remember that nothing is more important than your lives! You must protect your own lives!"

"Did everyone hear clearly?!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Wang Ruzhu nodded, then took out a star-disk-shaped object and injected Spiritual Qi into it.

"Buzz!"

With a slight tremor, the star-disk suddenly broke free from Wang Ruzhu's hand, ascended into the air, and then, from the star-disk, several light points shot out, landing in the sky, like several stars!

These stars automatically aligned, and between each star, Spiritual Qi connected them, linking them together!

Suddenly!

The several stars shone brightly, then dimmed, and a vortex-like entrance appeared before everyone's eyes!

"This is the entrance to the Remains, everyone, please enter!"

As Wang Ruzhu's words fell, several people eagerly rushed into it.

For them, this Battlefield Remains held countless rare treasures. As long as they could obtain one or two, it would be enough to benefit them greatly!

Whoever was a step slower would lose an advantage!

However, Fu Liang, Qin Wan, and the others did not move first; instead, they looked at Lu Ze, awaiting his command.

Lu Ze stepped forward and entered, and only then did the others follow!

As soon as they entered the vortex, the entire world transformed!

What appeared before their eyes was not the harsh, foul-smelling landscape they had imagined.

Instead, everywhere they looked, there was lush green grass and abundant vegetation, and a refreshing scent of grass filled their nostrils.

"I never expected such a world inside!"

Many people, upon entering, couldn't help but exclaim, as if in a dream. Even in Xuanyuan City, they had never seen such a vast expanse of green grassland!

Qin Wan and Fu Liang's group also relaxed considerably, looking around.

But Lu Ze and Xiong Lu's expressions both darkened at this moment!

Xiong Lu noticed Lu Ze's expression and lowered her voice, "Did you feel it too?"

Lu Ze hummed, his voice also very faint, "Don't act rashly."

Xiong Lu stopped responding after hearing that, remaining expressionless and still in place.

Lu Ze turned to look at Fu Liang and the others. They were very happy, even chatting about settling down here and never returning, and how terrible the environment in Xuanyuan City was.

Apart from these few, the other personnel began running towards the distance, each one overjoyed!

"Young Master Lu!"

Fu Liang suddenly turned his face and looked at Lu Ze, grinning, "What do you say we live here from now on and never go back?"

Lu Ze was expressionless, but Xiong Lu beside him had already lowered her gaze, not daring to open her eyes!

Because!

At this moment, Fu Liang's face had drastically changed, his eyes bloodshot and crimson.

The blood vessels, like a spiderweb, bulged from his eyeballs and covered Fu Liang's eyes, completely consuming both the whites and blacks!

If one looked closely, they could even see the blood vessels throbbing slightly, as if alive!

Looking at the others, they were all the same, their eyes consumed by these things, blood vessels intertwining, and even threatening to break through their eyes and entangle their entire bodies!

"Young Master Lu, why aren't you speaking?"

Qin Wan and Song Wushuang slowly walked towards Lu Ze, and Fu Liang and Tang Chenyi also moved, staggering as the four surrounded Lu Ze and Xiong Lu from all sides, blocking their retreat.

"If you're not speaking, does that mean you don't want to live here?"

Song Wushuang suddenly spoke, her words urgent, "You don't want to stay here, you want to go back?!"

Fu Liang was startled, his hands involuntarily began to grasp wildly, "You want to go back? No, you can't leave! None of you can leave! You must stay here!"

As they spoke, Lu Ze's gaze had been constantly scanning left and right, and at this moment, he suddenly perceived something!

"Found it!"

Lu Ze sneered, his figure suddenly vanished, instantly rushing out of the encirclement of the few people, directly arriving several meters away. His sword was drawn, Spiritual Qi fully infused into it, and then he swiftly slashed down at the air in front of him!

"Whoosh!"

The sword cut down firmly, but hit nothing.

Xiong Lu, still surrounded by the few, cautiously opened one eye, seeing Lu Ze hit nothing, and couldn't help but mutter, "No, are you capable or not! If not, send me out, let me do it!"

Although her voice was faint, Lu Ze heard it.

"If I'm not capable, sending you out won't help either!"

With that, Lu Ze calmed his mind. Immediately, an entire area appeared in Lu Ze's mind. Everyone transformed into a spirit body, ethereal yet clearly standing within the area!

And the boundary of this area was always blurry, with a ghost-like thing darting around!
