Chapter 201: A Dynamic Battle!

Chapter 201: A Dynamic Battle!

Shen Tian and the rest fell into deep thought as they gazed upon the skeletons battling at the bottom of the mountain.

These soulless skeletons were the main battle targets of this trial for the disciples from the two sacred grounds, six grotto-heavens, and 12 blessed-lands.

They were the defeated fighters from the major battle during the Primordial Age.

These defeated fighters’ skeletons had merged with the malevolent aura of evil spirits to give rise to these demonic beings.

As they had already lost a large part of their Divinity, their battle prowess was much weaker than when they were alive.

But to those Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were still a great challenge.

It could be said that most of the Foundation Establishment cultivators would have no advantage over these soulless skeletons.

They could be killed if they displayed a single moment of carelessness.

Qin Yundi narrowed his eyes, which flickered with worry. “There are a lot more skeletons here compared to the previous trial! Don’t tell me we have been sent to the Primordial Battlefield’s most advanced-level area?”

Most cultivators sent into the Primordial Battlefield for training would be kept within 1,000 miles of the borders.

The region within 1,000 miles of the Primordial Battlefield borders was kept especially safe and secure during this special event held once every five years.

But beyond the 1,000-mile boundary was the Primordial Battlefield’s real inner regions.

It was rumored that they held the greatest terrors left behind from the Primordial Age. Nearly none of the cultivators who entered the inner regions managed to escape alive.

The teleportation circles outside of the battlefield would teleport within 100 to 500 miles of the borders at random. Nonetheless, the battlefield was rather chaotic, so it was not uncommon for deviations to occur.

According to Qin Yundi’s experience, they had been teleported to the battlefield’s inner regions.

The danger level here was far beyond that of the area near the borders.

“Senior Brother, we are in trouble.”

After taking a deep breath, rows of Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns appeared behind him. There were a total of 64 guns.

Shen Tian shuddered at the sight of those pitch-black gun nozzles densely packed together.

This Qin Yundi was also an exceptional talent. He was able to maintain such perfect control over so many Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns at the same time.

His ability to control so many things at once was astonishing.

Compared to him, even the legendary Zhou Botong[1] would seem pathetic, right?

Shen Tian nodded. “Everyone must be on high alert. There is danger everywhere here.”

Shen Tian’s Purple Golden Hammer appeared in his right hand, and faint golden Divine Lightning crackled around his entire body. He looked exceptionally domineering.

He gazed above the heads of the crowd, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.

Shen Tian had been worried that his participation had caused a butterfly effect on Zhao Hao and the rest, such that their teleportation was messed up, and they would miss their fortuitous opportunities.

But as Shen Tian gazed at their halos, he could vaguely feel the general direction at which their fortuitous opportunities were.

This meant that not only could the red-colored providence show the time that the fated person would meet their fortuitous opportunity, but it also gave a general sense of where this fortuitous opportunity was.

There was no way Shen Tian would encounter any mishap or make any mistake with these details.

He was definitely well-primed to freeload their fortuitous opportunities!

But now, they had to clear this obstacle first!

“Thirteenth Brother, should we retreat now?”

Shen Ao swallowed hard as he surveyed the fighting skeletons.

They were standing at the top of a small barren mountain surrounded by scattered clusters of fighting skeletons.

Shen Ao took a quick count, and there were several hundreds of skeletons. There were also several hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators on their side.

Moreover, these skeletons looked like ordinary foot soldiers. There might be a big honcho lurking somewhere nearby!

They would be annihilated if that big honcho spotted them and decided to hunt them down.

To be honest, Shen Ao felt rather regretful following his thirteenth brother on this journey.

It seemed like his thirteenth brother’s luck had not turned for the better!

Shen Tian surveyed the skeletons at the bottom of the mountain, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “No hurry. You guys, stay here and wait for me.”

With that, the newly-purchased silver interspatial ring on his fourth finger started to glow.

A Black Tortoise Shield flew out, and Shen Tian caught it in his hand.

“In such a dangerous place, it is better not to make too much noise.”

Shen Tian faced the crowd. “Yundi, please ensure the Noise Reduction Array is activated for your Yin-Yang Demon-Penetrating Guns. Otherwise, do not fire a single shot.

“Song Fugui, Liu Taiyi, Xiong Meng. It’s the same for your Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talismans. Do not use them unless absolutely necessary.

“As for those skeletons at the bottom of the mountain, just give me a minute. I will open up a pathway for you all!”

At that, Shen Tian charged toward those skeletons.

Yes, he charged down the mountain all on his own.

The Shen Tian of today was utterly fearless.

Just one word—Reckless!

...

As the Primordial Battlefield’s nomology was very chaotic, the Sword Kinesis Flight’s speed was not fixed. It could be fast or slow without warning.

More importantly, the spatial order of the Primordial Battlefield was also very unstable. It was full of cracks.

It was very easy for one to accidentally fly into one of the cracks while using Sword Kinesis Flight and end up in god-knows-where.

It would be fine if one ended up somewhere near the borders of the Primordial Battlefield. But if one ended up in the deeper regions...

It would be a one-way road to death, even for a Perfected One!

Shen Tian didn’t use Sword Kinesis Flight, but he was sprinting as fast as the wind. His running speed was astonishing.

It was just a few miles from the top of the mountain to the bottom. Shen Tian covered the distance within moments and swooped right into the midst of those skeletons.

The rest of the crowd at the top of the mountain broke out in cold sweat as they watched Shen Tian charge down the mountain wildly.

They knew that Shen Tian was the Divine Firmament Saint and very formidable, but this was still the Primordial Battlefield!

Everyone’s cultivation levels had been suppressed back to the Foundation Establishment stage. Was it really alright for Shen Tian to dive into such a large crowd of skeletons in this manner?

As Shen Tian recklessly charged toward those skeletons, they all stopped fighting and turned toward him. Those soulless skeletons would only fight each other if there were no Yang creatures about. But the moment a Yang creature appeared, they would immediately launch a joint attack on it!

...

In reality, these skeletons were not humans.

Although these skeletons had a human shape, some had horns on their foreheads, some had wings on their backs, while some had beaks instead of mouths.

Nearly every skeleton had a feature that didn’t belong to a normal human being.

It was very clear that most of them were beasts that had cultivated their way into human-form. But some of their bestial features had yet to completely melt off.

This humanoid demon form was one of the demons’ cultivation goals. They would cultivate with the aim of morphing their bodies into human form.

After succeeding, not only would their powers increase, but they could even cultivate the humans’ Golden Core Qi Refinement techniques.

Of course, many demons were unwilling to cultivate their human form. They would maintain their original forms while continuously strengthening themselves. They would use illusion techniques to morph into humans when necessary but would otherwise retain their bestial forms.

These two demonic cultivation methods had their own pros and cons, just like Qi Refinement and Body Tempering. It depended on one’s own preference.

But it was clear that the majority of the skeletons before Shen Tian had chosen to cultivate their human form.

At this point, they had gone into a frenzy at the smell of fresh blood.

“Come at me, all of you! I am Shen Tian, and I am fearless!”

Shen Tian snorted as a faint golden lightning mark glowed between his eyes. Streaks of lightning crackled around his body.

A suit of battle armor was now materializing around Shen Tian’s body. It looked very impressive with all the dazzling lightning streaks.

The Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor would only materialize after the Five Heavenly Lightning Cultivation Technique was successfully cultivated.

It combined the advantages of the five types of lightning armor and was a huge boost to Shen Tian’s fighting abilities.

As for its appearance, the Longyuan Divine Armor had been based on the Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor, and they both looked very similar.

After the Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor was fully formed, Shen Tian’s attack, speed, defense, healing, and immunity were all greatly enhanced.

He had transformed into a golden figure standing proudly among the skeletons.

The full-body lightning armor created by the Black Tortoise Shield would send countless skeletons flying off when they tried to attack him. They crashed down several feet away, convulsing on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Purple Golden Hammer was covered in a thin layer of First Essence Heavy Water. Combined with the lightning, it was a truly formidable weapon.

Every time the hammer landed on those skeletons, it was enough to scatter their bones all over.

After the lightning spread across, the ghost fire in those skeletons’ eyes would be extinguished, and they would turn back into lifeless, dead corpses.

Their ghost fire might be reignited if they were buried beneath the earth for another 10,000,000 years.

But would Shen Tian offer them such a chance?

The silver ring on his right hand glowed, absorbing all the scattered bones into it.

Don’t underestimate these bone remnants. They were the bones of those huge demons during the Primordial Age.

Although the majority of their Divinity had already been lost, the remaining portion was still extremely precious and valuable.

Covered with a layer of First Essence Heavy Water, Shen Tian’s Purple Golden Hammer was able to smash through diamond. Even so, it only left the slightest marks on those bones.

It could be seen just how durable those demon bones were.

Whether as a material for making weapons or as fertilizer for the various sects’ medicine gardens, these bones were premium resources.

...

Boom!

Shen Tian swung his hammer wildly around.

Over a hundred skeletons had fallen victim to Shen Tian’s Purple Golden Hammer in just a short period.

High up in the barren mountain, Zhao Hao and the rest gaped at the sight.

Was this Senior Brother Shen Tian’s true power?

Even though they were at the Primordial Battlefield and their cultivation levels suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage—Shen Tian was still as powerful and mighty?

As everyone stood in awe and admiration, Shen Tian’s expression shifted subtly.

His golden Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor dimmed slightly while his Purple Golden Hammer shrank a little.

Yes, it looked like his power bar was nearly drained.

Damn, what a load of empty bravado.

He only managed to sustain that impressive stance for a mere few minutes and could no longer hold it anymore. What a pathetic excuse of a man!

A substandard product!

Shen Tian sighed as his Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor faded away. It turned into an Azure Dragon Armor.

The battlefield was filled with all sorts of Spirit Qi, all gushing wildly into Shen Tian’s body as the Azure Dragon Armor absorbed it all.

Using the Tinder Sutra’s refinement, he transformed the absorbed Spirit Qi into a basic power source to rejuvenate himself.

The rate at which the Five Heavenly Lightning Beast Armor replenished Shen Tian’s Spirit Qi was not inferior to that of the Azure Dragon Armor.

But in return, it also required much more Spirit Qi to maintain.

After changing to the Azure Dragon Armor, Shen Tian’s internal energy finally went back to equilibrium mode. It even started to increase slowly.

Sighing again, he placed the Purple Golden Hammer back into his ring.

In the next second, a jade-green vine shot out of Shen Tian’s right hand toward those skeletons like a long whip.

The vine’s tip was dipped in the silver-colored First Essence Heavy Water and exploded on contact with the skeletons.

Bang!

Bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

...

The sounds of the vine making contact echoed through the air.

Within seconds, the speed at which Shen Tian was clearing the skeletons increased exponentially.

Several skeletons would be dismembered with every single lash of the vine. Even their ghost fires would be absorbed into the vine.

The east side of the barren mountain was soon completely cleared by Shen Tian.

The crowd standing atop the mountain continued to stare in a daze at Shen Tian.

With the flower pot on her head, Li Lian’er’s cute little ahoge was standing straight up. “Brother Shen is indeed mighty. His vine is also very cool-looking.”

Inside the flower pot, the calabash wriggled its body, as if in agreement with Li Lian’er’s words. The calabash had grown by quite a bit after absorbing the Nirvana Holy Liquid.

Zhao Hao swallowed hard. “Is this Brother Shen’s true power? So mighty! So formidable!”

Qin Yundi narrowed his eyes. “Senior Brother’s fighting abilities are also full of color and artistry!”

Eunuch Gui gazed contentedly at Shen Tian.

“His Highness has finally come of age.

“If Concubine Lan could see how powerful His Highness is now, she would definitely be grinning from ear to ear!”

...

As for Shopkeeper Song, Liu Taiyi, and the rest, they had already taken out their Image Recording Crystals and started to record Shen Tian’s great show of power.

Master Heavens was so dashing as he conquered the entire battlefield.

Of course they must record down this scene!

They could then watch it and learn from it in the future. It would be a great help to the cultivators!

It would also benefit the disciples in the Favored Ones group, especially the female ones. How thrilled every single one of them would be if they could see how gallant and debonair their Senior Brother was now.

They might swoon on the spot!
