169: Chapter 169 The Terrifying Battlefield

"Good grief, you were hiding it quite well." Mu Cheng instantly guessed that Peppa must have seen everything.

Mo Yanyan asked, "Was he successful in this situation?"

"It really is a Black Hole Seed, which is good." Peppa finally confirmed the answer it wanted.

Operating the high-tech bracelet, it sent the information out.

Mu Cheng looked completely bewildered and asked, "This... can't you just explain it properly?"

"There's nothing much to explain. In the future, you can devour, absorb, and refine without any scruples," Peppa said without much explanation.

After thinking for a moment, it added, "Sister Yanyan, why don't you test this guy's strength?"

"Are you... serious? She's at the Ninth Order Peak." Mu Cheng was naturally afraid.

Mo Yanyan smiled slightly. "No problem, let's do it!"

She struck as soon as she spoke. In just an instant, Mu Cheng was sent flying.

"This actually doesn't hurt at all?" Mu Cheng himself was shocked.

Not caring about much else, he hurriedly released his Purple Cloud Wings and flew up.

But before he could react, Mo Yanyan's attack was already coming; shadows from all directions surged toward Mu Cheng.

"I can't dodge, so I'll just have to try the Black Vine." Mu Cheng had no other choice but to use the Black Vine for defense.

As the shadows swallowed him, Mo Yanyan's figure reappeared on the defensive wall a moment later.

Furthermore, all the shadows had completely disappeared.

"I can't break your defense. It seems that as long as you're not on the Battlefield or in a Life Forbidden Zone, no one will likely be your match."

Mo Yanyan, a dignified Ninth Order Peak powerhouse, just admitted defeat like that...

"What's going on?" Mu Cheng also returned to the defensive wall, asking with a bewildered face.

Mo Yanyan replied, "It's devouring. It's devouring my Bloodline Power."

"Good grief, this is even more terrifying than I imagined. It seems the Devouring Bloodline you possess has already undergone a qualitative change," Peppa said in great surprise.

Mu Cheng smiled awkwardly and asked, "Speaking of which... what exactly are you trying to do by going to all this trouble?"

"To Slay the Heavenly Dao," Mo Yanyan replied.

Peppa: "You are no longer the only candidate now. There's a place that's very suitable for you coming up. One year will be enough for you to reach the Ninth Order level."

"Is it the Battlefield? I can't think of any other place besides that," Mo Yanyan asked.

Peppa nodded. "Mhm, it's the Battlefield. If you want to rapidly increase your strength, this is the only way."

"This... wait, I'm not going," Mu Cheng refused.

"You don't have a choice. Just leave the Menglou Pavilion to us!" Peppa suddenly released its Bloodline Power.

It directly trapped Mu Cheng, rendering him completely unable to move.

"Fine, fine, for the sake of the human race, let's make a sacrifice!" Mo Yanyan instantly understood the intention.

A dagger sliced across her palm, and she began to draw a Talisman Array with her fresh blood.

Mu Cheng felt bitter in his heart, but what could he do? At this moment, he couldn't move at all.

The Talisman Array was soon completed. Peppa didn't hesitate, giving a light wave of its pig trotter, and Mu Cheng was flung into it and disappeared.

"As expected, it was still too taxing. I'll leave the safety of the Ancient City to you for now." Mo Yanyan suddenly spat out blood.

Her face turned extremely pale, and before Peppa could say anything, she had already vanished without a trace.

"Holy cow, Ninth Order Peak Black Giant Rats." Mu Cheng had just been teleported into a City Ruins.

He was immediately surrounded by a group of Black Giant Rats, and a hidden hint appeared.

[Warning! Warning! Warning! Within a five-kilometer range, 1,000 Ninth Order Peak Black Giant Rats and 1 Nine-Star World King Black Giant Rat King have been detected.]

"Master, be careful. There's a Nine-Star World King Black Giant Rat," Xiao Yao's warning came through his consciousness.

The Black Giant Rats were still the same as before, with no major changes in size, but their strength was at the Ninth Order Peak.

"Come on! Let me devour to my heart's content." Mu Cheng released his Black Vine with full force at the charging Black Giant Rats.

Not a single one could escape; all were devoured and refined by him.

"This place... likely has even more terrifying existences." Mu Cheng didn't dare to be careless. Although he was releasing the Black Vine,

He was still multitasking, very cautiously watching his surroundings.

"Master, there's no need to worry. The Black Giant Rat King of the Nine-Star World King God Realm won't strike so easily," Xiao Yao's voice came again.

Mu Cheng hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to believe her, throwing himself wholeheartedly into devouring and refining.

"Still at One-Star Eighth Order. Just how much do I need to devour to level up?" After a while, he was greatly surprised.

He had devoured nearly four hundred Black Giant Rats, yet his body was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

Five hundred... six hundred... seven hundred... a thousand, but he still couldn't break through in the end.

"How is anyone supposed to play this? It feels completely useless," Mu Cheng complained angrily.

Xiao Yao: "Master, be careful, it's coming."

Just as she finished speaking, the Black Giant Rat King leaped down and pounced directly toward Mu Cheng.

"Perfect timing, I want to see where my limit is." Mu Cheng didn't hesitate.

qianji transformed into a black gold spear, which he thrust with all his might at the Black Giant Rat King...

In just an instant, the Black Giant Rat King collapsed to the ground, and after a moment, it turned into energy and condensed into a star-glow crystal.

"This wasn't as strong as I imagined, was it?" Mu Cheng himself looked bewildered.

"Although this Battlefield isn't restricted by the Heavenly Dao, a Black Giant Rat is still a Black Giant Rat; its defense isn't that high," Xiao Yao explained.

"I see." Mu Cheng didn't dwell on the issue. Noticing the unusual star-glow crystal,

He picked it up to take a look and was instantly dumbfounded. "The energy in this star-glow crystal is so pure."

"This star-glow crystal is ten million times more precious than those outside, so Master, don't make a fuss," Xiao Yao explained again.

Mu Cheng: "This... are you serious? Ten million times? Isn't this Battlefield incredibly rich in resources?"

"Pretty much! Although there are Traders, the chance of a divine artifact appearing is still very low, let alone a super divine artifact," Xiao Yao explained further.

"The question is, where to go next?" Mu Cheng suddenly realized and asked.

Xiao Yao: "The Super Ability Academy. Master, you can look at the map of the entire Battlefield through the high-tech bracelet."

Mu Cheng didn't hesitate and tapped on the high-tech bracelet. One look gave him a huge fright.

"The Battlefield has seven levels in total. Is this still the Blue-White Star?"

"Accurately speaking, you could say it is or isn't. This place is very important to the human race. Regardless, the forces of the entire universe are on this Battlefield," Xiao Yao explained simply.

Mu Cheng immediately became fearful. "Alright! We... let's hurry to the Super Ability Academy."

"Master, there's no need to worry. This is the seventh level of the Battlefield, and the entrance is guarded by the Lin Family, so there won't be any outside races," Xiao Yao said, her temper truly good as she kept explaining to Mu Cheng.

After thinking, she added: "Oh right, I almost forgot. Although the Lin Family is guarding it, if you're unlucky, you might still encounter alien species that were originally on the Battlefield."
