Chapter 394 Arrived at the Ancient Battlefield
In the distance, heaven and earth changed again . Mu Yi felt a strong sense of awe in his heart . It was beyond his imagination .
The ancients often described immortals as being able to “call the wind and the rain” and “move mountains and fill the sea” . Now, what Mu Yi witnessed was the transformation of heaven and earth and the great storage of heaven and earth . Such means were beyond the imagination of ordinary experts . Mu Yi was no exception .
Although he had only opened four chakras, Mu Yi’s strength had reached senior level . Even still, he had only managed to barely reach the threshold . Though he also had some knowledge of perfection level experts, a real expert of the third stage was beyond his imagination .
If you wanted to be a strong person, you should be brave and determined, but more importantly, you should always be in awe . Once you lose your sense of awe, you would lose what drives you and it would cause you to become complacent . . Mu yi was in awe . What appeared in front of Mu Yi was a bleak battlefield with no boundary as far as the eye could see . The sky was cracked and the ground was tilted across the whole ancient battlefield .
No one would come here and think there was treasure . Did the Yellow River’s ancient road lead to a ruin?
Qiu Yuetong told him about it earlier so he wasn’t shocked, but looking at it, he still felt his heart palpitate .
This battlefield seemed to reverberate with a cry that had dissipated over the years . It was singing in the wind, but could not be heard clearly .
“What happened?” Mu Yi’s heart asked this question constantly, but no one could give him the answer . Even Qiu Yuetong looked at the ancient battlefield with a complex expression . No one knew what she was thinking at the moment .
After a long time, Mu Yi looked at Qiu Yuetong and said softly, “Here we are . ”
Qiu Yuetong nodded, “Yes, here we are . ”
Mu Yi looked around and saw no other figures, but he didn’t believe that the rest of those who had come were dead . At least, the forces must be alive . Surely, they had either not come out of the blue stone road or had already entered the battlefield before he had arrived . Mu Yi thought the latter was more probable .
He asked Qiu Yuetong to lead the way since she knew more about the battlefield . If he were to venture off alone, he may find it dangerous or otherwise waste a lot of time if he wandered here by himself, and there was a time limit when entering the Yellow River’s ancient road .
“Let’s go . ”
Suddenly, Qiu Yuetong put out her hand and Mu Yi looked where she was pointing . In the distance, a huge peak tilted, as if it had been pushed down by something despite its magnificence .
“Okay,” Mu Yi nodded . They carefully headed for the huge peak . The ancient battlefield was complex and they might encounter danger in the next moment, so they had to be careful .
Along the way, all was still . The earth was supposed to breed all things, but there was not a bit of green, let alone any animals or beasts .
They didn’t run into any danger on the way until they passed through a crack in the earth . Suddenly, dozens of dead spirits came out and frantically attacked them . These dead spirits had been very powerful when they lived, so as dead spirits, they had retained strength similar to that of the second stage . Despite this, they were all refined and turned into lamp oil when faced with the Nanming Li fire, which continued to repair the incomplete runes .
After killing the dead spirits, Mu Yi and Qiu Yuetong ran for their lives . Mu Yi had perceived a very powerful existence in the deep crack and although it couldn’t be compared with the terrible existence they encountered on the blue stone road, it was almost a perfect expert .

Of course, in addition to the dangers they faced, they also encountered some opportunities . Only godly weapons could survive in this dead place . Even then, godly weapons could become scrap iron with the passing of time .
Mu Yi and Qiu Yuetong got only broken godly weapons . There were real immortal godly weapons here, but they couldn’t take them .
The huge peak looked close, but required a much longer journey than it seemed due to the broken and ravaged ground . Many places couldn’t be passed, so they needed to walk in a big circle .
The biggest threat of the ancient battlefield were the dead spirits . They had no consciousness and instead acted solely on instinct . So once there was a strange aura in the territory, they would attack it together .
Dead spirits and spectres were, in essence, the same type of being . If there was any difference, it was that different environments led to the differences in form, just like the difference between Chinese and foreign people . Although they were all human beings, they could also be classified .
Half a day later, Mu Yi and Qiu Yuetong finally arrived under the huge peak . After some time, they found a path and entered the huge peak by way of a crack in the wall . Along the way, Mu Yi saw traces of people entering before them which meant that they were likely the last to arrive .
After a long and rugged path, a heat wave came, making Mu Yi squint his eyes . After the wave passed over him, he saw the forces not far away .
As soon as Mu Yi and Qiu Yuetong arrived, they were noticed immediately . The people who had come in early stood on an open platform . The platform was tens of feet long, and in front of them was a huge space that existed within the peak . In front of the platform, there was a river of magma which was where the heat wave had originated from .
The heat wave was nothing to these people . As long as no one was stupid enough to jump into the magma, it would be okay .

“Well, I thought you died on the road . ”
As soon as Mu Yi and Qiu Yuetong arrived, someone Zai Feng spoke . Although he was okay, there was one person missing from his group . Only Fan Yuan, the old eunuch and a man hostile to Mu Yi were left .
The intent behind Zai Feng’s words was very clear . If Mu Yi had died in the middle of the road, it would have been good for him . Since he had survived, he would kill Mu Yi .
Listening to Zai Feng’s words, Mu Yi sneered . He looked away and his eyes fell on the one from the ancient city of Dunhuang . Originally, there were four people around her, but now there was only one person remaining . When she saw Mu Yi, neither of them spoke, and the meaning was very clear .
The middle-aged Taoist of Mao Mountain stood nearby, and he was still expressionless with no sign of embarrassment .
The old Taoist from Longhu Mountain who had two little Taoists with him, only had one left . Looking at his sad face, the fate of the person was obvious . At this point, the missing were considered dead .
Mu Yi also saw a man who was beyond his expectation . Niu Ben had been a crude man in his eyes before, but now he lived and unharmed .
The only thing that puzzled Mu Yi was that he didn’t see Master Purdue and the Envoy of the White Tiger’s Flag . Did they have bad luck?
They were perfect experts . By reason, they were sure to come here, but they were still missing . It could only be attributed to bad luck . He was not surprised .

He had seen the dead spirit before . There were many powerful dead spirits hidden in the cracks in the earth, stronger than a perfect expert .
If the Envoy of the White Tiger’s Flag was really dead, Mu Yi was better off . Maybe if it worked well, he might take over his forces, but Mu Yi didn’t think that the other side would die so easily . It was just pure intuition .
It seemed that the major forces had been damaged . Of the ten experts who entered, only one survived, and the loss of these people from the world was grave . Mu Yi had thought that perhaps it was the main reason why these forces opened their quotas . In this, Mu Yi’s hypothesis had been proven .
The people of the world were trapped by these forces . How many factions could survive for thousands of years being pedantic? If they were really pedantic, they would have been eliminated by history .
After Niu Ben saw Mu Yi and Qiu Yuetong coming without Xin Lu’s three people, he sneered .
Mu Yi knew what he was thinking at a glance, but he didn’t intend to explain it . Instead, he took Qiu Yuetong to the side of the platform, away from Zai Feng and the woman from the ancient city of Dunhuang . It seemed more like he chose a corner .
When he came to the edge of the platform, he saw the magma river more clearly . There were sparks flying in the magma river from time to time, and it looked like an iron tree with silver flowers, which lit up the space repeatedly then disappeared .
In other places, there was a murmur from time to time, as if there was something coming up from below . The magma river seemed to be still, and it was about fifty feet long and ten feet wide . In addition, the rocks on both sides had been baked red by the heat of the magma, so it was hard to get a foothold . It would not be easy to cross it . The magma river was different from the cut-off blue stone road . He was sure of the latter, so he took a chance, but there was no need to do so again . He would not jump in this magma river .
It seemed that the other major forces were not in a hurry, so Mu Yi waited quietly . However, this kind of waiting was broken after a short time by the arrival of someone . Mu Yi turned around and saw Master Purdue and the Envoy of the White Tiger’s Flag .
Looking at their appearance, it seemed that Mu Yi’s assumptions had been correct once more . They had bad luck . Master Purdue had lost an arm, and the aura of the Envoy of the White Tiger’s Flag was a little unstable . His chest was also dyed red with blood .
