153: Chapter 153 A storm is brewing, frost covers the tower; chaos is imminent!

Nine Heavens God-Demon Continent, the extreme northern frozen land.

On a ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice platform, letting the snow in the air fall like fine salt, an old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the entrance of the Secret Realm that exuded an eerie and sinister aura.

"The emergence of the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons will inevitably stir up a storm of blood."

"However, within this gathering storm, there is a mix of inexplicable ambushes."

"Who exactly is it that went out of their way to set up this scheme?"

"And what exactly is he aiming for?"

Suddenly, his dim eyes flashed with brilliance, and his vigor and spirit instantly increased by an unknown magnitude.

At this moment, it was difficult to associate him with a sickly person who had one foot in the grave.

The Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons was the site where Gods and Demons fought to the death, and where the myriad races gradually faded into hidden stars.

The secrets hidden within are simply unimaginably vast.

"This battle of conquest seems quite extraordinary!"

"Everything seems to be pushing toward a specific treasure."

Beihu Ming Prefecture.

As a mid-tier prefecture, it is bustling with activity.

However, this place is not a heaven for Cultivators; on the contrary, it is a living Hell.

"Interesting. When did my Beihu Ming Prefecture become capable of opening the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons?"

The person speaking, judging by his attire and accessories, did not look like someone from a wealthy family at all.

Instead, he looked exactly like those temperamental evil Cultivators.

Generally speaking, they are cruel and act without regard for the consequences.

A moment later, a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't look like the will of heaven; it looks more like human intervention."

After observing for a while, he obtained an accurate answer.

And the significance behind this is quite different.

"There are quite a few enemies! One would think that the schemes of the mastermind lurking in the shadows are surely involved."

Meanwhile, Siya Qian Prefecture, Wangling An Prefecture, and Baihuang Prefecture are all seeing powerful figures from various factions rising to the occasion.

In the past, even if some people wanted to set foot in the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, they had to enter the territory of the Nine Heavens God-Demon Continent and obtain the randomly appearing Devil Emperor Order to participate.

But now, the situation has changed drastically, immediately attracting the attention of all parties.

Wushi Imperial City, City Lord's Mansion.

This place cannot compare to the grandeur of those large Sects and major factions, but it is filled with an ancient charm that has settled over time.

Wushi Imperial City once saw the emergence of a Great Emperor, Shen Xuanji.

At the same time, this Great Emperor was once the Old Ancestor of the Shen clan.

In other words, the Shen clan was once a supreme Imperial Clan.

However, with the mysterious disappearance of the Great Emperor Shen Xuanji, the Shen clan was left without a leader and quickly suffered joint attacks from various enemies.

Coupled with the successive passing of the clan's powerful figures, it led to their complete decline and loss of power.

However, in a recent era, the Shen clan has shown signs of rising again.

And all these events revolve around one person's name: Shen Fengyuan.

Relying on years of hard cultivation, he emerged suddenly and reclaimed the throne of the City Lord of Wushi Imperial City, attempting to lead the Shen clan toward a more glorious moment.

Furthermore, his cultivation has already stepped into the Peak of the Venerable Realm, and the time for him to transcend and become a Saint is not far off.

"The Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons is appearing in these places one after another?"

At this moment, Shen Fengyuan's brows were locked tightly, almost forming the character " river".

Others might not know the inside story, but as the City Lord of Wushi Imperial City, how could he not know?

If these places were combined, they would form the once-renowned Heavenly Demon Domain!

What is even more troublesome is that the reason the original Heavenly Demon Domain was divided into five mid-tier prefectures was entirely for the purpose of reinforcing the Seal.

And what they sealed was no ordinary object.

To be more precise, it was the corpse of a Devil Emperor.

This Devil Emperor was once a renowned Prodigy of the Human Race.

However, due to some unknown reasons, he betrayed the orthodox supreme Immortal Dao Sect, invited demons into his body, and tempered his Divine Soul.

Even more terrifyingly, this Devil Emperor cultivated by fighting and killed all the way along his path.

If it were just ordinary killing, he might not have been specifically hated.

After all, among Cultivators, if a conflict of interest arises, it is natural to kill one another.

However, his killings exuded a scent of blood sacrifice, leaving people with lingering fear and extreme apprehension.

Soon, his actions attracted fierce attention from various factions and also caused dissatisfaction among other experts of the Great Emperor Realm.

Consequently, a crazy war of slaughter began.

The world originally thought this Devil Emperor would likely become a corpse in a short time, but the result far exceeded their imagination.

At the beginning, those Great Emperors who besieged him used their strongest means, wishing to end the battle as quickly as possible.

However, things changed.

The Devil Emperor reached into Baihuang Prefecture.

It was this time that became the key turning point for his death.

Afterward, although the Great Emperors participating in the siege did not use their full strength, it was still enough to make him suffer.

In the end, the Devil Emperor died in battle from exhaustion.

However, although he died, it was not death in the complete sense.

His body was sealed into fragmented parts, sealed within the special Forbidden Grounds of the various prefectures, becoming the Seal stones that would suppress him for eternity.

Thinking of this, Shen Fengyuan felt that the matter could not be taken lightly.

After all, the sphere of influence involved with the Wushi Imperial City he controlled was mostly within Baihuang Prefecture.

If Baihuang Prefecture had a problem, he would also suffer significant losses, or even be severely injured.

"Truly an unknown variable."

Faced with this situation, even as a Venerable Realm expert, Shen Fengyuan had no good way to prevent all of this from happening.

The reconnection and integration of the Heavenly Demon Domain invisibly announced that a bloody, epoch-making war was about to begin.

His Wushi Imperial City should also make some preparations early.

"Go quickly and pass on my order to recall the Ten Directions Imperial Guards, the Hundred Rows Battle Army, and others."

"City Lord, the Young Miss is currently still outside. Should we recall her as well?"

"Not for now. Her Opportunity is very likely in the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons."

"If I insist on destroying it, it will be counterproductive."

Shen Fengyuan had a precise grasp of the situation in his heart.

At the same time, he had once spent a huge price to invite the number one physiognomist in Baihuang Prefecture to read the fortune and observe the trends for Shen Wulei.

The conclusion reached was that recently, she would encounter an event that was auspicious but contained danger, and dangerous but revealed auspiciousness.

Now it seems, this matter fits exactly with that.

As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger, but as the saying also goes, do not fight a battle without preparation.

As the only heir to Wushi Imperial City, Shen Fengyuan naturally cared more about Shen Wulei's safety than anyone else.
