Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: Heavenly Battlefield
After Priestess Shuiyue and Renowned Swords Ancestor were slain, the Earth Blessed Land returned to tranquility once more!
However, Lin Mu was about to depart.
Because he had reached the Peak of Integration and was heading to the Heavenly Battlefield to transcend the Heavenly Tribulation!
This news was both exhilarating and worrisome to all in the Earth Blessed Land.
With Lin Mu transcending the tribulation and becoming a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor, the Earth Blessed Land would undoubtedly become safer.
Yet, during Lin Mu’s absence, the defense of Earth Blessed Land would be compromised.
If a great enemy were to arrive, the Earth Blessed Land would face grave danger.
Ultimately, Miao Chen stayed behind to guard the Earth Blessed Land, while Lin Mu and Miao Jin headed to the Heavenly Battlefield!
As for Bloodthirsty Old Demon and others, although they were at the Peak of Integration, it would take some time before they could transcend the tribulation.
Even with the Earth Blessed Land’s innate blessings, it would take them several years to meet the standards for tribulation transcendence.
Lin Mu and Miao Jin rode the Imperial Sky Flying Boat, departing from Earth Blessed Land towards the entrance of the Heavenly Battlefield!
In the Heavenly Domain Continent, each state had an entrance to the Heavenly Battlefield.
The entrance in Barbarian Continent was located at its core.
After a month and a half, the two reached the entrance to the Heavenly Battlefield.
Miao Jin could even sense that Lin Mu’s strength seemed to have increased slightly!
Now, even without Lin Mu using the Six-Colored Divine Light, she could sense a feeling of danger.
"World Master, this is the entrance to the Heavenly Battlefield!"
The place where the two appeared was within a grand mountain.
Miao Jin activated her Divine Sense, splitting the cliff face of the mountain, revealing a portal.
The door to the Heavenly Battlefield could only be opened by a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor of that continent.
Otherwise, even those at the Fourth Tribulation Thunder stage could not forcibly open the door to the Heavenly Battlefield!
As they stepped inside the doorway, they saw a gray-clad elder reclined halfway between sleep and wakefulness along the entrance corridor.
This too was a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor.
Upon hearing the commotion, the Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor opened his eyes.
"Little girl Miao Jin, your Barbarian Continent has lost quite a few Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors recently..."
The gray-clad elder spoke to Miao Jin with a smile, his gaze inspecting Lin Mu beside her.
Lin Mu stood with hands behind his back, calm and composed.
The gray-clad elder’s pupils suddenly contracted.
He was initially just glancing casually, not taking it to heart.
Unexpectedly, he found several lines of resentment left by the fallen Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors on Lin Mu.
"Good heavens, is it possible that someone at the Integration stage killed eight Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors?"
The gray-clad elder initially wanted to gossip, but now gave up on the notion.
No one in his lifetime had ever heard of an Integration level master eliminating eight Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors.
Such a monster is better left alone!
"This way, please!"
The gray-clad elder put away his carefree attitude and stepped aside.
Miao Jin said no more and entered the portal of light.
Lin Mu followed suit.
The gray-clad elder watched their backs with a sigh, exclaiming, "Barbarian Continent, oh dear, that place surely faces a great tribulation! Those who can transcend the Ninth Thunder Tribulation are truly extraordinary!"
...
Lin Mu and Miao Jin reappeared in a desolate wasteland.
"This is the Heavenly Battlefield, but we have already cleared the demonic beasts near the portal. If you wish to retreat for the transcendence, I can choose two secret realms for you!"
Miao Jin briefly introduced the area.
Due to the lower power level in Barbarian Continent, the area they guarded was actually the edge of the Heavenly Battlefield.
The demonic beasts they had to clear were usually stragglers left behind from the real frontline ahead.
As long as they didn’t delve deeper into the battlefield, there would be no danger.
"Demonic beasts? Those with demon crystals?"
Lin Mu inquired.
Miao Jin quickly produced several demon crystals, placing them before Lin Mu.
All were crystals from demonic beasts at the Integration Path Boundary.
"Indeed, this is the object."
Lin Mu toyed with the so-called demon crystals in hand, a hint of delight upon his face.
"Take me to the true Heavenly Battlefield, I want to hunt demonic beasts!" Lin Mu declared.
Miao Jin froze.
Wasn’t the plan to retreat and breakthrough for the tribulation?"
Why the sudden desire to hunt demonic beasts?
Despite her doubts, she dared not oppose.
Besides, with Lin Mu protected by Six-Colored Divine Light, there would be no danger.
The two continued their flight forward.
About half a month later, the demonic beasts began to appear more frequently.
Lin Mu casually slew a few peak Integration stage demonic beasts, asking, "How do you usually use these demon crystals?"
Miao Jin replied, "Typically, they are accumulated until a certain quantity, then exchanged at the Heavenly Might Palace in the Heavenly Battlefield for resources needed for refining thoughts."
Waste!
Lin Mu internally criticized but said nothing further!
The two continued their relentless hunting!
The Heavenly Battlefield lived up to its name!
In just two months, they had slain more peak Integration-level demonic beasts than all the cultivators in Barbarian Continent!
Without the door of the Heavenly Battlefield to guard, should these demonic beasts charge into the Heavenly Realm, it would be a cataclysm!
"Ahead lies the territory of transcending tribulation demonic beasts. Shall we continue?"
Miao Jin realized that the Lord of the Blessed Land’s declaration of hunting demonic beasts was not a joke.
In two short months, they had already hunted nearly a thousand Integration stage demonic beasts!
"Certainly, I came precisely for them!"
A gleam flashed in Lin Mu’s eyes!
Just as they were about to enter the territory of Tribulation-Passing Monsters, ahead a squad of five flew towards them.
"Do you plan to bring an Integration-level junior into the territory of Tribulation-Passing Monsters?"
The woman leading the squad seemed to know Miao Jin and asked with a frown.
Miao Jin’s gaze turned dangerous, her voice cold, "Yue Feng, mind your own business!"
Meanwhile, Miao Jin transmitted to Lin Mu, "Yue Feng is from Lv Zhou, always at odds with me and Miao Chen!"
Lin Mu remained aloof.
Yue Feng gave Lin Mu a long look and said with a laugh, "The Heavenly Battlefield is full of dangers. Make sure to take care of your little paramour; it wouldn’t be good if he dies."
Saying this, Yue Feng laughed raucously and left.
The other four in her squad looked at Lin Mu as if he were already dead!
This Heavenly Battlefield is fraught with treacheries, with Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors falling victim to plots every year.
An insignificant Integration stage cultivator daring to venture deeper truly lacked awareness of impending death.
Lin Mu paid no heed and proceeded with Miao Jin.
Two days later, the sound of fierce combat suddenly came from ahead!
The turbulent air currents were perceptible even across thousands of miles.
Lin Mu activated his Divine Sense, saying, "Seems someone has grown tired of living!"
Before Miao Jin could grasp Lin Mu’s meaning, she felt the combat drawing nearer, accompanied by the roars of demonic beasts.
And it wasn’t just one demonic beast!
Miao Jin soon understood.
"That wretched Yue Feng!"
She hadn’t anticipated Yue Feng to be so despicable, deliberately luring demonic beasts towards them.
If Lin Mu truly were an ordinary Integration cultivator, Yue Feng might just succeed in getting Lin Mu killed!
"When a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor dies in the Heavenly Battlefield, does any celestial phenomenon descend?"
Lin Mu asked.
This seemed reasonable, as celestial phenomena mourning every death in the battlefield would result in constant lamentation.
In this vast Heavenly Battlefield, the death toll of Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors was immeasurable!
Miao Jin nodded with an odd expression, beginning to comprehend Lin Mu’s intention.
This killing-driven Lord of the Blessed Land intended to eliminate Yue Feng and her squad!
It made sense, given Lin Mu had already claimed the lives of eight Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors!
If caught by the Heavenly Realm Guard squad, he might be bound to guard the Heavenly Battlefield until death.
Taking out a few more wouldn’t matter much!
