From the Metropolis to the Strongest in the Cosmos

Li Yang was filled with anticipation for the supreme legacy ground within the Slaughter Battlefield.

In Li Yang’s experience, the legacy palace of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall was the most effective.

Even with his Fire Nether Divine Beast clone and Time Divine Tree clone constantly training in the legacy grounds of their respective races, a full year there felt less effective than a single ten-day session in the Eternal Saint Hall.

The difference in effectiveness was staggering.

The legacy palace of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall was clearly created by the likes of Li Yang’s master, the Eternal Ancestor, while the supreme legacy ground of the Slaughter Battlefield was created by the Creator Ancestor!

Of course, perhaps only the highest-level Token could grant access to a legacy comparable to that of the Human Race’s Eternal Saint Hall. But Li Yang’s Token was of the second-highest level. Even if the effect couldn’t match the Eternal Saint Hall’s, it surely wouldn’t be far behind.

More importantly, Li Yang had ten years of access to this legacy!

One could only imagine how much progress Li Yang would make in ten years.

That was why Li Yang was so full of anticipation.

Across the plaza, some were nervous and others were expectant. Beside Li Yang, Mo Xian and Pu Waka were still talking.

”Haha, Pu Waka, it’s settled then. We’ll explore together for the first ten years and split any fortuitous encounters fifty-fifty...” Mo Xian said with a laugh.

”Alright.” Pu Waka nodded with a faint smile.

The two had clearly reached an agreement.

After he finished speaking, Mo Xian’s gaze fell on Li Yang.

”Mu Xu, we’re about to enter the Slaughter Battlefield. If you get on your knees and kowtow to me a few times, I might just find it in my heart to let you go,” Mo Xian said, his expression indifferent.

But a closer look revealed a faint glint of excitement in his eyes. Mo Xian was actually feeling ecstatic. He couldn’t make a move in the plaza, and for the past ten hours, he had been stewing in frustration. But soon, he would be able to unleash it all!

There were no rules to restrict him in the Slaughter Battlefield.

’This Mu Xu dared to humiliate me. I’ll make him regret it.’

Hearing Mo Xian’s words, Li Yang glanced at him and said calmly, ”You talk too much.”

”You!!!”

At Li Yang’s words, Mo Xian’s indifferent facade shattered, and he erupted in fury. ’Even now, this Mu Xu is still running his mouth!’

He couldn’t stop a sliver of his aura from flaring up.

BOOM!

Just then, a powerful pressure descended. It came from Heng Lu, the Divine Eternal Path under the Fire Liao Emperor, whose gaze had turned toward them.

”No fighting in the Slaughter Plaza,” Heng Lu said, his face devoid of emotion.

He recognized Mo Xian, but if Mo Xian dared to break the rules, he would arrest him without hesitation.

Hearing this, Mo Xian immediately reined in the sliver of aura he had just released, no longer daring to act out.

However, his face was extremely grim as he stared at Li Yang.

”Very good, Mu Xu. Once we’re inside the Slaughter Battlefield, we’ll see what ace you have up your sleeve that makes you so damn arrogant!”

Mo Xian was genuinely furious now.

Ignoring Mo Xian, Li Yang turned his gaze to the massive airship. It was their turn.

Ahead of Li Yang was the young man, Black Shield, and his two companions.

Black Shield truly admired Li Yang’s courage. If it had been him, he would never have dared to speak to Mo Xian that way.

Outwardly, Black Shield remained impassive, but he sent a voice transmission, ”Mu Xu, once we’re in the Slaughter Battlefield, Mo Xian will definitely come after you. You should stick with the main group. With so many people from the Human Race around, he won’t dare to make a move casually. In the Slaughter Battlefield, even when experts of the Human Race fight among themselves, they make sure to do it in private. If he attacked you in front of a crowd and word got out, it would reflect very poorly on him.”

Hearing Black Shield’s words, Li Yang replied, ”Thanks for the warning.”

”Don’t mention it.”

Black Shield shook his head. ”You shouldn’t be thanking me. I’m the one who should be apologizing. I can’t team up with you anymore.”

Under the circumstances, no matter how much he wanted to help, he couldn’t afford to be on the same team as Li Yang.

Being on the same team would mean being targeted by Mo Xian.

Mo Xian himself wasn’t the main problem; his older brother was a Dual Pantheon Deity.

”I understand,” Li Yang nodded.

They were communicating via voice transmission, but beside Black Shield, the Foxman woman, Ling Yue, keenly sensed that he was speaking with Li Yang.

”Senior Brother Black Shield, what are you talking to that Mu Xu about now?” the Foxman woman, Ling Yue, transmitted with a frown. ”Look at Mo Xian! He’s definitely going to cause trouble for Mu Xu in the Slaughter Battlefield. We need to completely cut ties with him and avoid any involvement.”

From their brief exchange, anyone could see the conflict between Li Yang and Mo Xian had escalated.

Hearing Ling Yue’s words, Black Shield replied, ”Junior Sister Ling Yue, you’re being too fearful of the power backing Mo Xian. We also come from a faction of Tri-System Deities. Do we really need to be afraid of him?”

The faction behind them was by no means weaker than Mo Xian’s. Cultivators of their strength were highly valued by their sect; it was just that their personal status wasn’t as high as Mo Xian’s was within his own faction.

”It’s not fear, it’s that it’s completely unnecessary.”

Hearing Black Shield’s defense, Ling Yue frowned. ”We only need to say the word, and countless experts at the Peak of World Realm will flock to befriend and team up with us. This Mu Xu offers us no value whatsoever.”

”Junior Sister Ling Yue, I have a feeling there’s more to this Mu Xu than meets the eye,” Black Shield said in response.

’Black Shield had told Li Yang everything about Mo Xian’s background, yet Li Yang wasn’t the least bit worried. It was obvious he had an ace up his sleeve.’

’That was one of the reasons he had spoken up for Li Yang.’

’Perhaps Mu Xu came from an extraordinary background.’

’Having cultivated to the Peak of World Realm, Black Shield was no fool.’

”More than meets the eye?”

Hearing this, Ling Yue’s frown deepened. ”Are you suggesting his background is even more terrifying than Mo Xian’s?”

’In the Fire Liao Star Continent, besides the Emperor’s own faction, the strongest powers were those of the Tri-System Deities!’

’If this Mu Xu really came from a major power and was highly regarded, he would have been famous long ago. Yet, nobody has ever heard of him.’

Frowning, Ling Yue said bluntly, ”Forget it, Senior Brother Black Shield. Since you seem intent on causing trouble for our sect, I won’t say anything more. But I will give a full, detailed report to the sect when we return.”

She clearly disapproved of Black Shield’s approach.

Black Shield didn’t say anything in response.

...

On the plaza, figures flew up one by one, until all three hundred-plus people had entered the massive airship.

Heng Lu then boarded, piloting the airship directly into the Space Teleportation Array and vanishing from sight.

The airship shot through a wormhole. Heng Lu looked out at the crowd and announced, ”Everyone, the Slaughter Battlefield is a great distance from our Fire Liao Star Continent. The journey will take approximately twenty days. You may use this time to cultivate.”
