Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Beginning

Chapter 980: Chapter 978: The Vast Border Desolation, The Trial Officially Begins

Jun Xiaoyao’s spiritual sense was extremely sharp, with an unusual insight into danger.

In addition, he was quick-witted and intelligent.

He always felt that the three Imperial Race prodigies in front of him had some malicious intent.

Up till now, Jun Xiaoyao had made quite a few enemies in the Exotic Realm.

But he believed that the likes of the previous Black Peacock Royal Family no longer had the nerve to provoke him.

And these three before him, if they truly meant him harm, must have been incited by someone.

”Is it the Mingzhao Emperor Race, the Mojie Emperor Race, or... King Fufeng?”

In an instant, Jun Xiaoyao’s mind turned over thousands of thoughts.

With his Three Lives Primordial Spirit, his mind was like a supercomputer.

He had grievances with Li Jiuming, but logically, Li Jiuming was still alive at least.

He wouldn’t be so impulsive.

That leaves only the Mojie Emperor Race and King Fufeng.

Both parties were possible.

Especially King Fufeng, as Jun Xiaoyao had already seen his narrow-minded nature.

Learning that he was one of the Six Kings of Destruction, naturally made him more displeased.

Plus, he was an ancient supreme of the academy, a Quasi-Immortal, with a lot of energy to mobilize.

Jun Xiaoyao was speculating.

However, Jun Xiaoyao did not particularly care about it.

Although these three Imperial Race prodigies were all Supreme Venerables,

they were still dreaming if they thought they could kill him in the Border Desolation.

”It’s just some empty fame, not worth mentioning.”

Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly and responded.

”I hope that you, Chaos War God, can earn some prestige for our realm in the Border Desolation,” said Emperor Ji Meng with a smile.

”The same to you,” replied Jun Xiaoyao.

This conversation seemed peaceful, yet undercurrents flowed.

But outsiders found it difficult to detect.

Afterward, more Imperial Race prodigies appeared, each with overwhelming auras.

The weakest amongst them was also a Quasi-Supreme Venerable.

This made Jun Xiaoyao frown secretly.

Indeed, the power of the Immortal Realm had some disparity compared to the Exotic Realm.

If not for some Seed Level figures still slumbering in the Immortal Realm,

it was difficult for the contemporary prodigies alone to match up with the Exotic Realm.

”Alright, everyone, let’s not talk much more and set off.”

Elder Mu appeared and said.

This time, it was he who led the team.

One after another, ancient warships, hundreds to thousands of feet long, hovered in the void.

There were also various ferocious Flying Ancient Beasts, pulling Bronze War Chariots, all ready to set off.

This Border Wilderness Training wasn’t considered a true decisive battle between the two realms, but it was still a grand scene.

Jun Xiaoyao and others, under Elder Mu’s leadership, departed from the War God Academy in a mighty procession toward the Border Desolate Land.

Besides the War God Academy, the Ten Great Realms of the Exotic Realm also mobilized in unison.

The major General Races, Royal Races, Quasi-Emperor Races, and Imperial Races all dispatched numerous creatures and young prodigies.

The War God Academy was just one branch of power.

Of course, the Immortal Realm also didn’t have just the Nine Heavens Immortal Academy, the Nine Great Immortal Dynasties of the Immortal Court, the Jun Family, the various Ancient Desolate Families, the Taigu Royal Family, the Super Divine Dynasty, and the Immortal Dao Lineage would also join the battle.

Even though this wasn’t the decisive battle, it could be called the first large-scale mobilization between the two realms.

Jun Xiaoyao observed the Exotic Realm’s overwhelming army, a weight hidden deep in his eyes.

The Exotic Realm’s foundations and power were even more formidable than he had imagined.

It was no wonder they posed such a threat to the Immortal Realm.

Jun Xiaoyao was very curious; what exactly was the source of the Exotic Realm?

As the Exotic Realm mobilized, the Immortal Realm’s army naturally also moved in a vast procession towards the frontier and then exited to the Border Desolation.

On the borderlands near the Great Realms of the Exotic Realm, there were giant teleportation arrays that could directly send them to the Border Desolation.

The Exotic Realm didn’t have a frontier Great Wall like the Immortal Realm.

Because the Exotic Realm was itself the aggressor, they were not afraid of the Immortal Realm’s invasion.

Moreover, the dark matter of the Exotic Realm wasn’t something the creatures of the Immortal Realm could easily withstand.

After entering the teleportation array,

Jun Xiaoyao only felt the surrounding space violently shake.

The scenery around him twisted in an instant.

Sometimes, flames reached the sky, with lava everywhere, as if returning to the initial formation of an Ancient Star.

Then there were thick mists, stretching over countless billions of miles, all enveloped in Primordial Magnet Qi.

Afterward, there were various poisonous swamps, thunderous lands, and domains of fierce winds.

It was unknown how long it had been or how many regions they had traveled through.

Finally, the chaotic space around them came to a halt.

Jun Xiaoyao took a deep breath as he looked out.

In his view was a boundless desert.

Smoky trails rose in the vast desert, with long rivers setting under the sun, like a desolate Gobi Desert.

Even sweeping with Divine Thought, he couldn’t discover the end of the desert.

Above the sky wasn’t a blue sky, but a pitch-black, deep starry sky.

Various celestial bodies flickering, stars shining.

This was a desert beneath an endless starry sky.

”This is the Border Desolation...”

Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

Not only him, but the vast majority of young Exotic Realm creatures here were visiting the Border Desolation for the first time.

They were all shocked by the scene before them.

The bones of unknown giant beasts, enormous like mountains, thrust into the starry sky.

Collapsing ancient mountains, stellar bodies falling from the starry sky, creating ancient deep pits upon striking the ground.

This was a desolate, dead, and chaotic land.

Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward, scooping up a handful of sand.

This sand was bone-white.

”This isn’t sand; it’s the dust left after bones have weathered,” said Jun Xiaoyao.

Other prodigies also noticed and were all incredibly shocked.

This boundless desert of the Border Desolation was actually all formed from the weathered bones of deceased creatures!

”Exactly how many creatures have died?”

An Exotic Realm prodigy murmured in a daze.

Even though the Exotic Realm upheld a law of the jungle, witnessing this scene still shook their hearts.

”Green hills are everywhere buried with loyal bones; why must one return wrapped in a horse hide? This is the glory of those who died fighting here for our realm.”

”And what we need to do is fulfill the will of our predecessors, break the frontier, and trample the Immortal Realm!” shouted Boss Mu loudly.

”That’s right, break the frontier and trample the Immortal Realm!”

A large crowd of Exotic Realm creatures started shouting.

Jun Xiaoyao frowned silently.

Why was the Exotic Realm so stubborn about invading the Immortal Realm?

Was it merely for the lands and resources of the Immortal Realm?

Jun Xiaoyao vaguely felt that there were deeper secrets within.

”Alright, next, our realm’s army will face off against the Immortal Realm’s army in bloody combat.”

”But your task is not to go to the battlefield with the army to kill the enemy but to penetrate various regions of the Border Desolation and battle against the Immortal Realm’s prodigies.”

”As many Immortal Realm prodigies as possible, kill as many as you can, sever their younger generations’ paths of growth, and create a gap,” said Boss Mu loudly.

The true war had yet to begin, so the major figures of both realms were sitting in command and would not act lightly.

The troops below were merely testing the waters.

The main focus was on these young generations’ trials.

”Young friend, are you sure you don’t need anyone else to look out for you?” Elder Mu looked at Jun Xiaoyao.

He initially intended to have a few Imperial Race elites accompany Jun Xiaoyao to look out for each other.

Even if danger arose, these Imperial Race elites could serve as a buffer, as long as Jun Xiaoyao remained safe.

After all, he was special and very significant to the Exotic Realm.

”True gold needs to be tempered; if I, holding the title of War God, were still too cautious, wouldn’t it be laughable?” said Jun Xiaoyao with a carefree smile.

But actually, he didn’t want to be constrained.

Elder Mu nodded in response.

”Young master, I wish to train alone,”

beside him, Su Hongyi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

She hoped to become stronger to not hold Jun Xiaoyao back.

”Alright,” replied Jun Xiaoyao.

Su Hongyi had her secrets, and her talent was strong.

She just lacked the tempering found in life-and-death situations.

Jun Xiaoyao believed that if Su Hongyi was truly one of the Six Kings of Destruction, she wouldn’t easily fall into danger.

”How are the Immortal Realm folks faring?”

Jun Xiaoyao murmured in his heart, a step into the void, his figure disappeared.

The Border Wilderness Training officially began!
