From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Li Yang couldn’t receive special treatment upon entering the Slaughter Battlefield.

The slightest special consideration would likely alert the Alien Races immediately.

Perhaps their eyes were already on the entrances to those passages.

“I have constructed an identity for Young Master Li Yang, which will allow him to go directly to the passage.”

To enter the Slaughter Battlefield for training, one had to report an identity; Li Yang couldn’t just reveal his true one.

Therefore, a disguised identity was for the best.

“Thank you for your trouble,” Li Yang said with a nod.

The old man before him, Ba Jun, had been specially assigned by the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall to guide him to the Slaughter Battlefield. Li Yang naturally had no reason to be suspicious.

“It’s no trouble at all,” Ba Jun replied hastily.

‘No trouble? Are you kidding me? This is an incredibly lucky chance to get to know Li Yang.’

‘With Li Yang’s Talent, becoming an Emperor in the future will be a breeze! He might even become a top-tier powerhouse among Emperors. Of course I want to build some kind of connection with him.’

As the two of them headed toward the passages, Ba Jun asked, “Young Master Li Yang, how much do you know about the Slaughter Battlefield?”

Li Yang replied, “I’ve learned a little.”

Since he was preparing to enter, Li Yang had naturally made sure to carefully research the Slaughter Battlefield.

The Slaughter Battlefield was an extremely strange place with two major peculiarities. The first was its unique gravitational pressure.

As soon as one entered the Slaughter Battlefield’s domain, they would feel a pressure, much like gravity, that prevented them from using their full strength.

For example, if you had one hundred percent of your strength, you could only unleash about ninety-five percent of it under this gravitational pressure.

However, since the gravitational pressure affected everyone—your strength was reduced, and so was mine—it didn’t really have a significant impact on the balance of power.

Moreover, this gravitational pressure had another effect: it continuously tempered one’s physical body.

This tempering occurred constantly, without requiring any active effort.

The entire Slaughter Battlefield was like an immense gravity field, tempering the body of everyone within it.

The benefits were easy to imagine.

The gravitational pressure was one major feature of the Slaughter Battlefield. The other was that the battlefield was filled with a strange magnetic field.

It was called a magnetic field, but it was actually more like a peculiar kind of substance.

For instance, some precious treasures could help one comprehend the laws by calming the mind, and in such a state, comprehension naturally came easier.

The strange magnetic field of the Slaughter Battlefield had a similar effect.

Upon entering the Slaughter Battlefield, under the influence of that peculiar magnetic field, it was easier to calm one’s mind. This made it easier to gain insights into the laws, which in turn made it easier to achieve a breakthrough.

Two major features: the gravitational pressure constantly tempered the body, and the strange magnetic field aided in comprehending the laws.

In addition, there were countless opportunities within the Slaughter Battlefield.

On top of that, there was the site of a grand inheritance left behind by an Ancestor Realm powerhouse. To enter this inheritance site, one needed a seven-colored Token, and some of these Tokens were hidden within the Slaughter Battlefield.

The Slaughter Battlefield also had other functions…

All things considered, the Slaughter Battlefield had become a favorite destination for many powerhouses. The opportunities there were most beneficial to Deities, so Deities were the most numerous visitors, hailing from all the major races.

Conflicts were naturally abundant among the various Alien Races, leading to constant slaughter. Gradually, this place evolved into a true Slaughter Battlefield.

Of course, despite the rampant slaughter and the high death toll, many people also rose rapidly within the Slaughter Battlefield, marching forward over the corpses of the various Alien Races to stand at its very pinnacle.

Despite the high mortality rate, the Slaughter Battlefield was still regarded as the most suitable place for Deities to train.

Many powerful Deities who couldn’t break through their bottlenecks elsewhere managed to do so in the Slaughter Battlefield. As a result, a large number of newcomers entered it every year.

As Li Yang was mulling this over, Ba Jun spoke with a smile. “The Slaughter Battlefield is excellent for training, especially for those in the Divine Realm. However, the strength of the Deities varies between regions. The closer you are to the edge, the weaker they are. The closer you get to the interior, the stronger they become. It follows a completely incremental pattern.”

Li Yang nodded. ‘Since it’s for training, you’d naturally seek out opponents of similar strength. For example, a Dual Pantheon Deity would seek out other Dual Pantheon Deities to fight. That’s the only way it’s effective.’

‘If a Dual Pantheon Deity went looking for a fight with Tri-System Deities or Four-Element Deities, that wouldn’t be training—it would be suicide.’

Opponents of similar strength gathering together formed distinct battlegrounds.

The entire, massive battlefield was divided into areas for ordinary Deities, Dual Pantheon Deities, Tri-System Deities, and so on.

“So, Young Master Li Yang, until your strength is sufficient, don’t be in a rush to head into the interior of the Slaughter Battlefield. Although there are more opportunities there, it’s also where the powerhouses congregate.”

The closer one got to the center of the Slaughter Battlefield, the higher the probability of treasures appearing. The numerous top-tier powerhouses gathered there for two reasons: one was for training, and the other was for the many opportunities.

“I understand,” Li Yang nodded. He continued to listen to Ba Jun. He only had a general understanding of the Slaughter Battlefield; Ba Jun’s knowledge was certainly far more detailed than his.

“Additionally, some powerhouses have fixed territories where they operate exclusively. This is a map of their activity zones. Young Master Li Yang, you can take a look.” Ba Jun sent a massive map to Li Yang.

Li Yang glanced at it. The map primarily marked the peripheral regions of the Slaughter Battlefield.

These peripheral regions were naturally where the weaker individuals trained. Most of them were at the World Realm, with a small number of Deities.

However, a few exceptionally strong Deities also stayed there long-term. Perhaps they weren’t in a hurry to train and were just cultivating quietly, since it was easier to achieve a breakthrough within the Slaughter Battlefield.

One could imagine the consequences of accidentally provoking them.

“Zhongyu Mountain, in the western part of the Slaughter Battlefield, is a gathering place for World Realm Cultivators. A Dual Pantheon Deity of the Demon Race resides there…”

“Liushang River, in the southern part of the Slaughter Battlefield, is a gathering place for World Realm Cultivators. A Dual Pantheon Deity of the Water Source Race resides there…”

…

One piece of information after another appeared before him.

All this information pointed out powerhouses located in regions meant for the weak.

In reality, while the Slaughter Battlefield was suitable for Deities to train, World Realm Cultivators were the most numerous, and they were almost all concentrated in the peripheral regions.

Yet, some powerhouses—strong Deities who resided there long-term—would still appear in these weaker, World Realm regions.

And one could only imagine the consequences if a weakling provoked one of those powerhouses.

The information before him was clearly very valuable, as it marked the location of every powerhouse in the weaker regions.

As long as one was careful not to enter those territories and provoke those powerhouses, their chances of survival would increase dramatically.

As Li Yang looked, his eyes were rapidly searching for something.

“Are there any detailed locations for powerhouses from the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Thunder Star Beast races?”

‘I brought both my Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Thunder Star Beast avatars to the Slaughter Battlefield this time. The best way forward is for these two avatars to encounter Deities from their respective races here. After making contact, those Deities could lead them to the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon and Thunder Star Beast territories.’
