164: Chapter 164 The Ancient Battlefield of the Heavenly Demons Officially Opens!
Looking at Sect Master Min Qingrou's personal state, one could not tell at all that she had experienced a great battle yesterday and personally slaughtered an entire Sect.
In short, that graceful and enchanting body had restrained all traces of bloodthirsty sharpness.
What remained for others was only endless reverie, not the peerless terror of staring into an abyss!
Today was an extraordinary day.
Because the time had come for the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons to open!
Consequently, experts from various regions of the Nine Heavens God-Demon Continent flocked to the entrance of the Secret Realm.
The Barren Northern Region, Falling Flower Valley.
This place had always been the passage within the Northern Region leading to the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons.
Unfortunately, due to Bai Fangqian's actions, the Secret Realm passage was no longer fixed.
Furthermore, the Lingzhou Continent could also use that demon Seal to enter.
This led to an endless fire of slaughter spreading over tens of thousands of miles, signaling that it would not easily cease.
At this moment, experts from all factions of the Barren Northern Region had already gathered in Falling Flower Valley.
But after the leaders of all factions arrived, they quickly realized something was wrong.
Someone was missing.
To be precise, one faction was missing.
"Where are the people from the Hundred Ghosts Demon God Sect? Isn't today the agreed-upon day? Why are they still nowhere to be seen?"
The reason the Hundred Ghosts Demon God Sect was so conspicuous was not because their status was particularly powerful or noble.
Rather, it was because their Sect's supreme treasure, the blood demon gourd, would provide them with great assistance within the Secret Realm.
Without this aid, although they could forcefully break through those demon souls filled with blood-colored Evil Qi, it would ultimately require much more time and energy.
"Could they have met with some mishap?"
As they spoke, most people couldn't help but cast their gazes toward the rising new star of the entire Barren Northern Region, whose fame was currently unrivaled—Sect Master Min Qingrou.
If anyone dared to be so presumptuous and ruthlessly slaughter other Sects, it was undoubtedly her.
Previously, they had used the resources at their disposal to thoroughly investigate her background, but the information they received was inconsistent.
Sect Master Min Qingrou was like a figure who had suddenly appeared; her rise to power and the speed at which she established her prestige were parallel and extremely swift.
"The Hundred Ghosts Demon God Sect at least has a Soul Transformation Stage expert guarding their Sect; they wouldn't be destroyed so easily."
"Could it be that they are afraid? Do they want to preserve their strength and thus dare not come?"
In everyone's eyes, even if Sect Master Min Qingrou was strong, she was at most invincible among those of the same Realm.
Taking a step back, the Hundred Ghosts Demon God Sect's Old Ancestor, Mo Wendao, was a Cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage.
To suppress and kill him, with the opponent's Peak Nascent Soul Stage strength, it was far from enough.
Even so, they were secretly on high alert against Sect Master Min Qingrou and the people of the Moon God Sect.
They were afraid of being caught off guard and suffering a great loss.
Everyone waited and waited, but they never received news of the Hundred Ghosts Demon God Sect's arrival.
At this point, they concluded that the Hundred Ghosts Demon God Sect believed their own strength was insufficient and had given up on the Opportunity to seize treasures within the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons.
Although it was a pity that they could not use the blood demon gourd to make the exploration of the Secret Realm smoother, all in all, having one less competitor was considered a good thing.
Standing far away from the crowd, Sect Master Min Qingrou's beautiful eyes quietly looked toward the top combat forces and elite Disciples of the various Sects.
To integrate the Barren Northern Region and use it for her own purposes!
Among the various regions of the Nine Heavens God-Demon Continent, the Barren Northern Region was the most barren, and its cultivation resources were the most inferior.
However, it also had a unique advantage.
It was removed from chaos, with no need to contend with the world.
If she could seize the land of Luomeng Ziyuan and use it to completely Seal the boundaries, the Barren Northern Region would become a self-contained system within the entire Nine Heavens God-Demon Continent!
Perhaps someone would ask, this is a world of immortal cultivation; even if a region defends itself, what use is that?
It is not like the mortal world, which emphasizes establishing power through territory, forming shapes through implements, utilizing strategies to kill, and replacing others.
The answer is, it is extremely useful.
Luomeng Ziyuan is a magical place that transcends the world.
As long as one steps foot here, the Cultivator's cultivation Realm will automatically drop to the first level of the Qi Refinement Stage, without even any fluctuations.
Moreover, all weapons, Physiques, secret techniques, etc., will lose their effectiveness.
No matter how Heaven-Defying and honed your previous cultivation Realm was, or how magnificent your appearance, it is of no use at all.
Not to mention those in the Venerable Realm, even if Saint Realm or Emperor Realm experts came, they would still be restrained and trapped.
The plain and unadorned power of rules forms a substantial blow to reality, binding every intruder!
However, after gaining the recognition of Luomeng Ziyuan, one will not be bound by these rules.
Furthermore, one can arbitrarily control whether others' cultivation Realms fluctuate downward.
Therefore, Luomeng Ziyuan is a natural barrier.
Once the prerequisites are met one by one, she can rely on this dangerous terrain to establish her prestige, dominate the Barren Northern Region, and not be troubled by disputes from the masses.
On the other side, many Cultivators standing in the front row had already rushed in.
"The situation seems to be gradually becoming wrong."
"Even if the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons is full of dangers, it definitely shouldn't be like this."
"It can only be said that this time, an unprecedented crisis has been ignited."
"What should we do?"
"The bold are stuffed to death, the timid are starved to death. Immortal cultivation is inherently a Heaven-Defying act; if one does not fight for that glimmer of survival, one is destined to fall and perish."
After entering the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, this transcendent Secret Realm is destined not to achieve the worldly wisdom of "you are good, I am good, everyone is good."
The alliance between their various Sects will instantly collapse into nothingness.
If there is a dispute over interests, heads will be smashed, and the ground will be paved with bloody corpses; all of this is expected.
"Sect Master, what should we do?"
Looking at the entrance of the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons ahead, a wave of fierce and evil power permeated and intimidated from afar, making Wen Fenglian feel somewhat uneasy.
If she had a choice, she would definitely abandon this dangerous and suicidal behavior, prioritizing stability above all else.
One might ask, is it not good to be alive?
Why seek a "true self Breakthrough" in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?
But now, since she had boarded the pirate ship and was like a grasshopper on the same rope, she could only choose to go down this path to the end.
"Wait." Sect Master Min Qingrou quietly watched the actions of that group of Cultivators rushing to their deaths, her red lips parting slightly as she calmly spat out one word.
"Wait?"
Other high-level Elders belonging to the Moon God Sect were extremely puzzled.
It was extremely unreasonable for the Sect Master to be so indifferent and give away the first-mover advantage.
Unless there was some special danger mixed in!
Just as the people of the Moon God Sect were still pondering the intention behind Sect Master Min Qingrou's decision, the results at the scene in the distance served as a wake-up call for them.
They saw that those Cultivators who had rushed in first were now fleeing back in a sorry state.
Most of them were injured.
More accurately, it was not just tattered clothes; some even looked as if they had been gnawed and bitten by some unknown Vicious Beast.
However, this was still considered a good result.
Because, comparing the Cultivators who just entered with those who came back alive, less than one in ten survived.
From this, one could glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the level of terror.
