It was a silver-white light gate, about ten zhang tall and five zhang wide. The frame of the gate was covered with dense ancient runes, which flowed slowly in the light, as if they were breathing.
Behind the light gate lay an ancient battlefield.
David quickened his pace and rushed towards the gate.
Just when he was less than three meters away from the portal, the spatial turbulence around him suddenly increased several times.
The black spatial power condensed into a giant palm, which hit him hard.
That palm contained enough power to crush a fifth-grade Golden Immortal cultivator into pulp. If David is hit, he will be seriously injured, although not fatal.
David didn’t give up.
The Dragon Slayer Sword was unsheathed.
Purple sword energy condensed on the sword, and with a single slash, it smashed straight into the giant hand.
“explosion……”
The chaotic purple power and black spatial power collided violently at the point of impact, resulting in a deafening roar.
The shockwave spread out in all directions, scattering the surrounding spatial turbulence.
The giant hand was shattered into pieces by a single sword slash, turning into countless tiny fragments that floated in the air.
Taking advantage of the counterforce of the sword attack, David dashed and charged into the silver-white light gate.
The portal behind him slowly closed.
David landed in a land that was foreign to him.
Beneath our feet lay whitish-gray sand, mixed with tiny bone fragments and countless shards of metal, which crunched and crunched underfoot.
Above us stretched a hazy gray sky, with no sun, moon, or stars, only the ever-enveloping thick gray mist.
Mist floated slowly in the sky, like a gray river that flowed silently.
The air was filled with a pungent stench of rot and blood, the aura of death accumulated over thousands of years, now inseparable from the spiritual energy of this land.
Looking into the distance, the land stretches as far as the eye can see, marked with traces of battle: huge craters, cracked mountains, dry riverbeds, and scattered skeletons.
Some of the skeletons looked like humans, some like wild beasts, and some like creatures that had never been seen before.
Some skeletons were as big as mountains, with a single rib measuring tens of feet long; others are as small as needles, scattered in the sand and almost invisible.
The skeletons were of various colors: white, gold, silver, and black. Some of them still emitted a faint spiritual light, proving how powerful their owners were when they were alive.
This place was even more remote, scarier, and more dangerous than the ancient battlefield that could be entered from the Ruins of Homecoming.
David didn’t know whether he had entered the ancient battlefield or not.
After all, the aura here not only contained the lingering grudges of ancient great figures, but also an inexplicable hatred
This world itself seems to be full of hostility towards all life.
David’s divine sense spread out, covering an area of a hundred miles.
No signs of life were found.
However, he felt many strong auras, which were not alive, but dead, obsessions that remained from the ancient great figures who had fallen here.
Those obsessions, after thousands of millennia of sedimentation, have merged with this world, becoming part of this battlefield.
If disturbed, they will wake up and attack any intruders.
David retracted his divine sense and looked around.
He was in a relatively flat valley.
The valley was surrounded by low hills that were barren and completely devoid of vegetation.
In the center of the valley was a dry riverbed, covered in whitish-gray gravel and bone fragments.
The scene here was very different from the ancient battlefield he saw at the Ruins of Homecoming.
The Homecoming Ruins battlefield was more ancient and more remote, but at least there was still sky, sun, and wind.
Here, there is nothing but eternal gray and eternal silence.
Then, more than a dozen figures rushed out of the light portal.
Wu Yuan led the group, followed by more than a dozen elite cultivators from the Void Merchant Guild. Their faces were pale, clearly having consumed a lot of spiritual energy while passing through the void passage.
When Wu Yuan saw David, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly walked over.
“Mr. Chen, your skills are amazing!”
His voice was filled with excitement, “When I saw that black hand slapping towards Master Chen outside the hall, I thought Master Chen would but I didn’t expect Master Chen to destroy it with a single slash of the sword. Amazing, truly amazing!”
David glanced at him but didn’t say anything.
