288: Star-Moon Ancient Battlefield

Twenty-seven years in the Grotto-heaven, yet only twenty-seven days had passed in the outside world.

However, the last three years within the Grotto-heaven were estimated to be extremely intense. In just about three days, Xu Qing settled down in a tavern.

Star Moon Grotto-heaven, on the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield.

A vortex appeared, and then dozens of figures stepped out from it; it was Xu Yuan and his group.

As they stepped onto this battlefield, a surge of overwhelming Evil Qi assailed them, causing Xu Yuan and his group to involuntarily stiffen.

This Evil Qi was such that anyone below the Quasi-Emperor Realm, without protection, could easily have their minds lost to it, thereby becoming soulless living dead.

Xu Yuan even separated his Divine Sense to carefully perceive it, only retracting his Saintly thought moments later, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes.

"As expected of what that transcendent existence left behind, it truly is extraordinary!"

His Saintly thought could not probe the entire battlefield; it was suppressed after only extending ten thousand miles!

Xu Chun, Wang Yanan, and the others experienced even more obvious suppression, able to probe a maximum of a thousand miles.

But this small trouble was no problem for Xu Yuan and his group.

"For the next three years, this will be our battlefield!"

Xu Yuan said.

The Star Moon Ancient Battlefield was the largest Secret Realm within the Star Moon Grotto-heaven. Only beings below the Emperor Realm were allowed to enter here, and it was precisely this ancient battlefield that concealed numerous Legacies from powerful individuals of myriad races.

Each time the Star Moon Ancient Battlefield opened, it would release several, or even dozens, of Legacies for the Prodigies of various races to choose from!

Over so many years, many Legacies had been claimed, and some Legacies, due to their immense difficulty, had never been taken!

Before they entered the ancient battlefield, they had obtained information from their respective elders.

This time, when the ancient battlefield opened, thirty Legacies would be activated: fifteen Great Emperor Legacies, nine Dao Severing Legacies, five Dao Lord Legacies, and one Dao Monarch Legacy.

Many people's goal was the Dao Monarch Legacy, so upon entering the ancient battlefield, they conducted a carpet search, attempting to obtain the Dao Monarch Legacy; others had self-awareness, knowing their capabilities were limited, and thus chose to seek Legacies they could approach.

However, some Legacies would not appear prematurely if their time had not come, as there were, after all, three years!

For the Xu Family, Dao Severing Legacies were available in the family's Scripture Pavilion, and they believed that with Xu Qing's methods, even a Dao Monarch Legacy would not be an issue.

Therefore, they appeared composed. Their trip was for the resources within, and as for Legacies, it was best to obtain them, but it didn't matter if they didn't.

"Let's split up. Cousin, you take our cousins and nephews to other areas!"

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Chun and said!

Among the Xu Family members, although Xu Chun's cultivation was not the highest, he was stable in his actions, far stronger than his cousin Xu Ji. With him leading the team, and with a group of Heavenly King guards by his side, their safety would certainly be assured.

"Are you not taking guards with you?"

Xu Chun frowned, a little worried.

Xu Yuan laughed, "No need! I still have the methods Big Brother left behind!"

Xu Ji chuckled playfully, "Brother Chun, you don't need to worry. Let's go! We shouldn't disturb their 'two-person world'!"

Wang Yanan's face flushed upon hearing this!

Seeing this, Xu Chun couldn't help but smile and didn't say much more, simply admonishing, "Be careful in everything!"

"Okay!" Xu Yuan smiled.

After Xu Chun and the others left, Xu Yuan looked at Wang Yanan with gentle eyes, "Let's go!"

"Okay!"

The two transformed into a streak of light and sped off into the distance!

Several months later!

"Rumble!"

In a certain desert of the Star Moon Battlefield, Wang Yanan was battling a Seven-Step Quasi-Emperor Realm Silver-Tusked Tyrant Dragon. As terrifying attacks rained down, Sword Intent permeated and Origin scattered, causing the Void Realm within a hundred thousand miles to tremble incessantly.

Half an hour later, everything returned to calm!

Beneath Wang Yanan's sword, the Silver-Tusked Tyrant Dragon's eyes were wide, dying unwillingly.

"Not bad! Your Sword Intent has already reached the Upper Sword Venerable Realm!"

Xu Yuan floated down from above. This Silver-Tusked Tyrant Dragon in front of him possessed the Bloodline of a Deep Abyss Fiend Dragon and a Silver-Armored Fierce Lizard, making it extremely ferocious. Although it was only a Seven-Step Quasi-Emperor, it could unleash the combat power of a Nine-Step Quasi-Emperor.

Wang Yanan was also a Seven-Step Quasi-Emperor; being able to kill the opponent meant her combat power was also comparable to a Nine-Step Quasi-Emperor.

In these past few months, he hadn't sought Opportunities, but rather took Wang Yanan on various trials to hone her Dao of the Sword, finally achieving a Breakthrough to the Upper Sword Venerable Realm today.

"Compared to you, I still have a long way to go. If you were to act, it would only take one sword, right!"

Wang Yanan said somewhat dejectedly.

"What? Want to catch up to your husband? Then come!"

Xu Yuan laughed loudly and sped off into the distance!

Seeing this, Wang Yanan smiled charmingly and chased after Xu Yuan!

A few days later, a cluster of smoke-billowing volcanoes appeared before them. Even from a distance, they could feel the scorching heat.

The two were Quasi-Emperor powerhouses, yet they felt the intense heat at this moment, indicating that these volcanoes were extraordinary.

Xu Yuan gazed at the volcanoes and surprisingly discovered a wondrous Dao rhyme emanating from them.

"Yuan Lang, this volcanic cluster is somewhat unusual!"

Wang Yanan said.

Xu Yuan nodded, "I feel it too! Perhaps there's a treasure, or perhaps a Legacy of a powerful individual!"

"Legacy?" Wang Yanan was surprised!

"Hmm! From the intelligence, there are four fire-elemental powerhouses: one Dao Lord, two Dao Severing, and one Great Emperor!"

"No matter what it is, we'll know once we go see! Let's go!"

With that, Xu Yuan took Wang Yanan's soft hand and flew towards the volcanic cluster.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

However, before they had traveled far, A rain of red arrows shot towards them from the volcanic cluster!

"Who goes there?"

Several red-armored figures soared from the volcanic cluster, looking at them with a warning in their eyes!

"It's actually people from the Fire Clan!"

Xu Yuan was surprised!

The Fire Clan, this is one of the top ten Spirit Races among the myriad races. There are a total of nine branches of the Spirit Race, also known as the Nine Great Spirit Races. Among them, the royal Spirit Race is the Holy Spirit Race, but the Holy Spirit Race is rare, and it is said that there are no Holy Spirit Race members left in the Lower Realm.

And among the Spirit Races in the Spirit Realm, the five major Spirit Races of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth are dominant. The three major Spirit Races of Lightning, Wind, and Ice rarely appear in the myriad realms due to their small numbers of clansmen!

Among the myriad races that entered the Star Moon Grotto-heaven this time, there were people from the Spirit Race, specifically the Fire Clan. It is said that the Spirit Race's leader this time is a God Child from the Upper Realm.

This person's strength is extremely formidable. In the past twenty-seven years, he has consecutively slain several Peerless Quasi-Emperor level figures. Currently, on the ancient battlefield, his combat power can definitely rank among the top twenty!

There are rumors that he once fought a Great Emperor alone and remained undefeated!

On the Dao Academy's side, only the golden-eyed youth could contend with him.

"So it's Human Race ants!"

"Just as Your Highness commanded us to quickly ascertain the situation below. Isn't this just the right person to scout ahead?"

Recognizing the identities of Xu Yuan and Wang Yanan, the Fire Clan powerhouses rejoiced!

They quickly flew over, each with a sinister smile on their faces!

Seeing this, Xu Yuan frowned!

"You two, don't be in a hurry to leave. Come with us, there's a great Opportunity in this volcano!"

One of the red-armored men said, without giving Xu Yuan a chance to speak, he directly raised his hand, and a fiery red rope shot out from his sleeve, attempting to bind Xu Yuan and Wang Yanan.

Xu Yuan's eyes instantly turned cold!

This man's cultivation was not weak, having reached Quasi-Emperor Perfection. This was already considered a powerhouse on the ancient battlefield, but unfortunately, they had provoked the wrong person!

A flash of sword light appeared on Xu Yuan's body, easily annihilating the rope in the Void Realm!

"What?"

Seeing this scene, the expressions of the several Fire Clan members instantly froze.

That rope was a unique Quasi-Emperor artifact of their Fire Clan, specially forged for binding Quasi-Emperor powerhouses. Its material was even crafted from their Fire Clan's unique Fire Spirit Divine Gold, which even a Quasi-Emperor in Perfection could not shatter.
