From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

”Blackshield, are you trying to cause trouble for us?” Ling Yue frowned at him.

’I’ve made myself perfectly clear, yet Blackshield is still speaking up for this Mu Xu?’

Even if they had just teamed up with Mu Xu, they had only known him for a few minutes. All in all, he was still a stranger.

When faced with someone like Mo Xian, a teammate who was practically a stranger was completely disposable.

Seeing this, Blackshield started to say something, but Ling Yue cut him off and turned directly to Mo Xian. With an apologetic look, she said, ”Brother Mo Xian, we just met this Mu Xu. We won’t get involved in this matter, so I hope you won’t hold it against us.”

With just a few words, she had completely severed all ties to Li Yang.

Hearing Ling Yue’s words, Mo Xian replied coolly, ”Since you’ve spoken up, Ling Yue, I naturally have no objection.”

He couldn’t care less about Blackshield or Ling Yue, but he was still wary of the Celestial Profound Sect, which was also a faction backed by Tri-System Deities.

Mo Xian turned to Li Yang, his expression still icy. However, this was the main plaza, and fighting was strictly forbidden. So, no matter how powerful he was, he didn’t dare make a move on Li Yang here.

He might be backed by a Tri-System Deity faction, but this plaza was under the direct control of the most powerful expert in the Fire Liao Star Continent—the Fire Liao Emperor himself!

Therefore, if Li Yang was determined not to give up his seat, there was absolutely nothing Mo Xian could do about it.

Continuing this scene would only make him a laughingstock.

As this thought crossed his mind, Mo Xian looked at Li Yang, his expression suddenly calming. ”Mu Xu, is it? Very good. Let’s see if you can still talk so tough once we’re inside the Slaughter Battlefield!”

A vicious glint flashed in Mo Xian’s eyes. He had come here expecting to be met with gazes of awe and respect, but instead, he had been made a laughingstock.

Without another word, Mo Xian went and sat in a back-row seat, directly behind Pu Waka.

’There’s no point in saying anything else now. Once we’re in the Slaughter Battlefield, I’ll make sure I see the look of regret on Li Yang’s face.’

Beside Li Yang, Pu Waka—a Cultivator at the Peak of World Realm who possessed the strength of a Deity—had watched the entire conflict without saying a word; he clearly had no intention of getting involved. Mo Xian then began discussing a plan to team up with Pu Waka, right there next to Li Yang.

Hearing Mo Xian’s blatant threat, Li Yang remained perfectly calm and continued to wait in silence.

”Haha, Li Yang, my boy, trouble seems to follow you wherever you go,” Soul Ink’s voice echoed in his mind.

Li Yang replied helplessly, ’I didn’t want this either. If Mo Xian had been the least bit polite, I would’ve given him the seat. But with that commanding tone, how could I possibly obey him?’

’The path of cultivation is all about following one’s true nature. If you displease me, why should I defer to you?’

While he was casually conversing with Soul Ink, Blackshield sent him a voice transmission. ”Sigh... Mu Xu, with a temper like Mo Xian’s, he’ll definitely go find his brother once we’re in the Slaughter Battlefield. You...”

He trailed off, at a loss for what to say.

”It’s fine.”

Hearing Blackshield’s warning, Li Yang was not the least bit concerned. He smiled and sent a transmission back, ”Blackshield, thanks for earlier.”

He actually had a pretty good impression of Blackshield. Under the circumstances, Blackshield had absolutely no reason to speak up for him, yet he did.

The bonds between teammates who had just met were extremely fragile.

”It’s nothing.” Blackshield shook his head. He looked at Li Yang, but ultimately, he was still at a loss for words.

Beside Blackshield, the Foxman Race girl, Ling Yue, glanced at Li Yang before sending a voice transmission to Blackshield: ”Blackshield, that Mu Xu has offended Mo Xian. Once we get into the Slaughter Battlefield, we must stay far away from him.”

’If I were the leader of this team,’ she thought, ’I would have ordered Blackshield not to interfere in the matter between Mu Xu and Mo Xian.’

...

Nothing else of note happened after that.

Time flew by, and soon, ten hours had passed. By now, over three hundred people had gathered in the plaza, all preparing to enter the Slaughter Battlefield. Among them were only two Deities; the rest were all at the Peak of World Realm.

Even for the Human Race, Deities were not easily born. It might take a long time for even one to emerge. Moreover, most Deities who intended to enter the Slaughter Battlefield had likely already done so, meaning few were left to enter now.

SWISH!

Just then, a ripple of energy flashed across the plaza, and a cold-faced, middle-aged man appeared.

BOOM!

A powerful aura erupted from the man, a pressure that had clearly reached the level of a Tri-System Deity.

After appearing, the middle-aged man swept his gaze over the crowd below.

”The person in charge from Fire Liao Star Continent is here! The passage to the Slaughter Battlefield is about to open!”

”It’s finally opening! Cultivation is much faster inside the Slaughter Battlefield than in the outside world, and it’s filled with opportunities. You might even stumble upon one just walking down a path.”

”There may be opportunities, but the Slaughter Battlefield is also countless times more dangerous than the outside world.”

”With great reward comes great risk.”

The middle-aged man’s appearance immediately sent a buzz of discussion through the crowd.

Nearly everyone rose to their feet, their faces etched with tension.

The death rate in the Slaughter Battlefield was notoriously high, but the allure of breaking through to the Deity realm compelled them to go.

To remain trapped at the Peak of World Realm was to eventually turn to dust anyway. It was better to risk it all for a chance in the Slaughter Battlefield.

Of course, even if they were willing to take the gamble, they were still filled with fear and apprehension.

And now, on the verge of entering the Slaughter Battlefield, their nervousness was palpable.

”SILENCE!!!”

The middle-aged man glared at the crowd, and the immense pressure of his aura washed over them, inspiring awe and fear!

With the power of a Tri-System Deity, one could do practically whatever they wanted within a Star Continent.

”I am Heng Lu, serving under the command of the Fire Liao Emperor. I am responsible for your entry into the Slaughter Battlefield!”

Heng Lu’s voice boomed across the entire plaza.

There was only one passage to the Slaughter Battlefield in the entire Fire Liao Star Continent. With several hundred people waiting to enter, a sense of order was necessary to prevent chaos.

According to the rules, everyone would board the same airship and travel together, rather than entering one by one.

”Now, line up according to your seating arrangement and board the airship one by one,” Heng Lu commanded.

With a wave of his right hand, a massive airship materialized before them.

Immediately, figures began to fly up from their seats and stream into the airship.

’Is it time?’

Li Yang wondered to himself as he watched the scene unfold, observing the nervous expressions on everyone’s faces.

He too was about to enter the Slaughter Battlefield.

But unlike the others, who were filled with tension, Li Yang was filled with anticipation!

’I wonder what that Land of Legacy will be like?’

The Slaughter Battlefield contained a well-known, supreme Land of Legacy, meticulously crafted by the Creator Ancestor. Entry was divided into seven tiers, each requiring a corresponding Token. Li Yang possessed a second-tier Token, which would grant him direct access to receive the inheritance.

What’s more, the inheritance process lasted for ten years! Of course he was filled with anticipation!
