336: Chapter 336 Arrival at the Ancient Battlefield!

It wasn't just the Contestants who hadn't expected this format.

At this moment, the Wushan Seat Public was also completely caught off guard.

"Ancient Battlefield? Killing spirit bodies?"

"Huh? The fourth stage this time isn't some secret realm, but an Ancient Battlefield?"

"Ancient Battlefield? In my memory, the large-scale wars that happened in our Wushan Seat don't seem that ancient in terms of time. What era is this Ancient Battlefield referring to?"

"No idea!"

"Forget about what era it's from for a second. This rule about not being able to steal points from other Contestants—doesn't that narrow the path? It takes away a lot of the fun from the competition!"

"Pfft! Why do I feel like this rule was specifically made to restrict Li Fan?"

"It doesn't just restrict Li Fan; it also restricts top-tier Contestants like Jiang Yunxu and Kun Yun."

"What's with all this talk about restrictions? If you ask me, this format is pretty good. It eliminates interference between Contestants, so it's all down to who has the strength to kill the most!"

"Compared to whether points can be stolen, I'm actually more curious about what this Ancient Battlefield looks like."

On the Wushan Seat Forum, there was currently nothing but surprise and curiosity regarding the format of the fourth stage.

The public wasn't surprised by the points-based system itself.

But an Ancient Battlefield and spirit bodies—that was somewhat beyond their expectations.

Especially the Ancient Battlefield part.

Looking at the known large-scale battles of Wushan Seat, there had only been a few over the past several thousand or tens of thousands of years.

But on a cosmic scale, this time span didn't qualify as an 'ancient' battlefield at all.

On a cosmic scale, for something to be called 'ancient,' it would have to be at least a hundred million or even several hundred million years old.

At that time, Wushan Seat mostly had minor skirmishes that weren't well-known to the public.

So, the public was completely baffled by the Ancient Battlefield mentioned in the announcement.

...

"Go to an Ancient Battlefield to defeat the spirit bodies of ancestors?"

Inside a reception room at the Cosmic Cloud Company Wushan Seat Branch, Jiang Ling also showed a hint of surprise when he saw the announcement.

Clearly, he hadn't thought in this direction at all either.

"Which battle's Ancient Battlefield is it?" Jiang Ling looked at Ai Xin beside him and asked the question that everyone in Wushan Seat wanted to ask.

This time, Ai Xin didn't keep him in suspense at all.

"I don't know either."

This answer clearly left Jiang Ling full of questions.

The situation for the fourth stage of the Inheritance Competition was handled between the headquarters and people like Ai Xin and Sang Gan. How could Ai Xin not know?

Immediately after, Ai Xin waved her hand, and in the next second, a clear image appeared in the void before them.

In the image floated a magnificent, pitch-black continent. It looked brimming with killing intent and was covered in all sorts of broken weapons and armor. From the side, it looked as if the continent had been forcibly sliced off.

In other words, this continent might not have been the original main battlefield, but just a corner that had been cut away.

"This continent was discovered by the headquarters in a void turbulence a few years ago. It drifted all the way from Dangyun Seat to Wushan Seat. According to the headquarters' judgment, this battlefield might have drifted over from another universe or a Boundary Corner."

"The specific era and the identities of the opposing sides can no longer be untangled. The only things remaining on it are the battle wills belonging to our human ancestors. With the idea of making the best use of everything, the headquarters sent people to use these battle wills to forge spirit bodies, leaving it as a trial ground."

Ai Xin slowly shared the information she knew.

Hearing this, Jiang Ling's brow was already tightly furrowed, and he couldn't help but murmur softly, "No wonder the headquarters has been so eager to launch various plans recently. It seems something has gone wrong over there."

"The war hasn't ended; it's just that only a few people know about it for now. You know how terrifying the battlefield over there is, don't you? Isn't it normal for some problems to arise?" Ai Xin spoke up, feeling that Jiang Ling was making a fuss over nothing.

After hearing Ai Xin's words, Jiang Ling couldn't help but smile and shrug. "True enough."

...

Turning back to the Contestants.

After reading the rules for the fourth stage,

although the Contestants were very surprised by the format, their minds quickly returned to the competition.

Their moods gradually became excited and full of anticipation.

Many Contestants who weren't as strong had already begun looking for teammates.

As time passed,

the Contestants could see a giant continent floating in the cosmic void through the transparent cabin doors from a distance.

That's right, that was the Ancient Battlefield they were about to enter!

"Look! Is that the Ancient Battlefield?"

"What a huge continent!"

"It's pitch black all over. If you don't look closely, you can't even see it clearly. How strange!"

"Why does it give off such a hair-raising feeling?"

The Contestants looked at the continent and couldn't help but chatter excitedly.

Li Fan's gaze was also fixed on this continent.

In terms of size, it was probably dozens of times larger than the Silver Dragon Central City he had seen before, even larger than some major planets.

And in Li Fan's heart, he couldn't help but feel the same way as the other Contestants.

That was a faint chilling sensation running down his spine!

And just then,

the broadcast on the spaceship rang out.

"The spaceship will arrive at the Ancient Battlefield in two hours. All Contestants, please proceed to the designated areas and wait!"

As the voice faded, the expressions of all the Contestants became solemn and invigorated.

They had gone through layers of selection.

Now, they had finally reached the final stage.

This would be the moment they were closest to the immortal inheritance!

"Brother Fan, let's do our best together. It's the final round!"

"Brother Li Fan, see you on the Ancient Battlefield. Good luck!"

"Yeah, let's do our best together!"

At this time, after hearing the broadcast, Peng Song, Duan Ping, and the others parted ways with Li Fan, encouraging each other.

Watching them leave, Li Fan took a deep look at that continent and then headed toward his designated area.

...

Time passed quickly.

Two hours had quietly slipped away.

Now, the spaceship had arrived not far from that ancient continent.

On the Wushan Seat Virtual Network's main channel, real-time footage was already being presented to all the citizens.

Finally seeing the true face of this Ancient Battlefield from such a close distance,

the faces of both the Contestants on the ship and the public on the main channel were incredibly solemn.

Looking up,

on the pitch-black continent, there were broken weapons and armor everywhere, along with flags and blood-stained clothes that hadn't completely decayed. The reason the continent was pitch black was that it had been stained by blood that had long since rotted.

Although everything here had long since decayed, one could still feel the overwhelming pressure blowing toward them.

Vaguely, everyone seemed to be able to imagine how tragic and terrifying the original battle must have been.
