Chapter 444: The First Three Days

Boom!

A giant monster bird more than 20 meters long made a low pass in the sky. The flame sprayed out of its mouth, melting a small hill into magma. The giant bears which were eating there were steamed instantly. The giant monster bird swooped down and gripped two of them, each weighing a ton, and flew up into the sky with a long cry…

But before long, a giant ape with a height of more than 100 meters jumped up from behind a mountain in the distance. The ape quickly grabbed that hairless giant bird with its two claws and tore it apart. With a sad scream, the strange bird’s black internal organs and blood poured down. The giant ape stood on the top of the mountain, then grabbed and ate the giant bird’s body. Even the flesh, bones and skin were all chewed…

However, before it finished its meal, a blue-striped snake with long horns which was about to become a dragon entangled that giant ape. The two monsters roared and fought. The snake tail cracked the mountain and its scales were ripped off one by one. Blood flowed down like a river, forming a red waterfall in the mountains…

Brutal!

Violence!

Forces collided. To survive, it was ‘either you die or I live.’

Ding Hao was full of scars, hiding in an ancient tree five hundred meters away from the mountain, while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

That was the second day after he entered the Sage Battlefield. He had encountered dozens of dangers, and was almost killed by the terrible beasts several times.

That was just like a magical version of the modern Jurassic Park. All kinds of unknown prehistoric monsters were everywhere. They weren’t demons, but they had lived for many years in that area which still retained the elements and rules of ancient times. That was why so various terrible variations had been born, which made them have the power to move the mountains and the seas. Plus, with some Divine Beasts having the blood of ancient beasts, that place was as dangerous as a living hell.

When Ding Hao was teleported through the space crack, he fell into the old nest of a group of six-winged saber-toothed lions. Those monsters were as giant as hills, possessing the power of Martial King artists, and mastered the power of the Five Elements. One small step of theirs would crack the ground and collapse the mountain. If he hadn’t escaped fast, he would have become a pile of poop just then…

He looked at the silver ring on his finger. It was dim.

It showed that within a few hundred miles, no disciples of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect were present.

Ding Hao was worried.

The danger of that world far exceeded his worst estimate, and even he was barely surviving. Ding Hao didn’t know where Li Yiruo, Fang Tianyi and the others were transmitted and what kind of danger they had encountered. Or, maybe they had already…

“All these thoughts are redundant. I have to hurry up to improve my strength. I must be able to protect myself first.”

Although Ding Hao had many scars on his body, he was full of energy.

Although that world was dangerous, it was indeed full of opportunities as rumored. In the past two days, he had picked more than 30 strains of 500 to 600 years-old magic medicine. At first, Ding Hao wanted to save them and refine them into elixirs to maximize the potency, but later Ding Hao found that there was no need to do that. There was too much divine medicine there. He could eat for a hundred years and his storage ring would still be full, with no place to save them.

In the end, he began to eat every medicine that he saw, like a cow grazing.

In just two days, with the help of Divine Medicine, Ding Hao’s strength had been continuously improved by two small realms; he had reached the four-apertured congenital Grandmaster Realm by then.

Ding Hao could smell the scent every time he opened his mouth.

If someone grabbed him and placed him into an Elixir Furnace, it was estimated that he could be turned into a batch of spirit elixirs.

“Now my dantian and my meridian channels are all full of Qi. It’s time to make a breakthrough again…”

Ding Hao sat cross-legged on the branch of a giant ancient tree with a diameter of more than ten meters, and arranged the inscription formation on all sides; then he began to cultivate. His special constitution, the Saintly Being of Saber and Sword, had no bottlenecks in cultivation. It played a great role in that world. As he rapidly improved his strength while taking the magic medicine, he had the excitement when he played online games without a limit upgrade in his previous life.

…

Giant Holy City.

On the edge of the primitive mountains.

The sun began to fall toward the west. The earth was quiet; the twilight burst, rays of light appearing like a waterfall. The scenery was extremely beautiful.

The dozens of blue space rifts in the sky slowly disappeared like dry rivers. It was the third day that the space cracks were opened, leading to the Sage Battlefield. The cracks closed as on previous occasions. If someone wanted to enter the Sage Battlefield, he had to wait and no one knew when it would open again…

On the edge of the mountain, there were more than one hundred Mysterious Frost Holy Guards stationed.

They were responsible for guarding the passage of the Human Tribe, avoiding demons or some speculators who didn’t follow the rules set by the God of War of Mysterious Frost in the Northern Region, trying to secretly enter the Sage Battlefield. They would not leave until the rifts in the sky completely disappeared.

Time flew.

Cracks disappeared one by one.

In the end, only the largest crack remained, and it continued to shrink. At that time, it had become a small gap of about two meters long and one meter wide; it was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. 15 minutes later, all cracks would disappear.

The Mysterious Frost Holy Guards breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

That time the task would be completed. Nothing happened, and no one appeared to make trouble either.

The last gap at the moment was a little less than a meter long, like a puddle that was about to dry out…

Just then, all of a sudden—

Whew!

A sharp, whispering sound of blasting air rang from the distance of Giant Holy City.

“Miaow! Finally, I’m here… Hey, hey, stop, I haven’t gone in yet…” A loud strange voice came. The Mysterious Frost Holy Guards saw a white streamer whooshing to the last crack and it was about to enter.

“Who is it?”

“Dare you break in? Stay.”

The Mysterious Frost Holy Guards moved extremely quickly and wanted to intercept it as soon as possible.

“Meow, get out of my way. I am qualified…” The white light flashed and fell into the space rift, and the next moment, the last crack completely disappeared.

…

…

“Phew…”

Ding Hao got up slowly from the trunk, and it was already the next morning.

He stretched his waist and was refreshed.

The night before, he had good luck. No horrible beasts fought within a kilometer around. The ancient tree was not destroyed, and Ding Hao didn’t have to change places. He practiced smoothly all night and opened two more acupoints in one of his twelve standard meridians and six strange channels. At last, Heaven Fire Qi and Hell Ice Qi were both improved to the five-apertured congenital Grandmaster Realm.

“At this rate, in a dozen more days, I can enter the realm of the great grandmaster.”

Ding Hao stood on the top of a giant tree, enjoying the rays of sunlight, while absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and cultivating.

He had always lacked a method for practicing his body. He was still practicing the Nine Levels of Golden Body Building by Ice and Fire, which was an Earth Rank elementary manual. Although it had been modified by the Saber Master and the Sword Master, having reached the top level of the Earth Rank, Ding Hao had cultivated to the top level and was still unable to catch up with the realm of his Qi.

“It’s time to find a monster to practice.”

After improving his strength, Ding Hao urgently needed to fight to stabilize his realm.

After packing up, he leaped forward like a monkey, deftly jumping among the branches of giant trees.

That was the best way that Ding Hao had found to mobilize in the past few days. High-altitude flight easily attracted the attention of some giants in the sky. When walking on the ground, it was very easy to be attacked by some strange poisonous beasts. Even some plants with beautiful looks could sometimes instantly become the deadliest carnivores…

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed.

That time Ding Hao dug a cave at the bottom of a towering peak as a temporary foothold.

After several days of investigation, Ding Hao found that his situation was a little bad.

That was, because four powerful beasts were found in the four directions; their territories surrounded him and he was currently on a mountain more than 1000 meters high. The area within two dozen miles was the buffer zone of the four beasts, and it was the safest place. Once he stepped out, he would be attacked by any of those four monsters.

Ding Hao was temporarily trapped within that area.

“It looks like I can’t get out…”

Ding Hao tried a few times and found that the Body Oven Realm, his fifth level of the Mind Essential, could not trick the four beasts. Every time he was within 100 meters away from any of them, he would be immediately noticed. If he wasn’t careful enough, and without the help of the Saber Master and the Sword Master, he would have died several times.

After several unsuccessful attempts, he could only carve out a cave as a temporary foothold, to think carefully about how to break through.

“I must leave here as soon as possible. If I’m trapped and cannot conduct a broader exploration, I won’t get other opportunities on the battlefield.” Ding Hao knew very well that he could not delay and remain there. Though there were lots of elixirs, it seemed to be a relatively ‘desolate’ area in the Sage Battlefield. Staying there was simply a waste of time and opportunities. In the end, he would get nothing.

The Saber Master and the Sword Master gave him some suggestions, but were difficult to put into practice with Ding Hao’s current strength. He had to increase his strength to the state of the great grandmaster in the shortest time and then it would possible to be off the hook.
