East Pole, Life and Death Arena.
The Life and Death Ring was located in the Death Valley of the East Pole. It was surrounded by basin-like mountains, and in the center was a huge platform with a circumference of several hundred miles.
It was said that the black platform was made of Living Soil. No matter what kind of attack it received, it would slowly return to its original state. The surrounding mountains were strengthened by King Tianping himself, which was enough to restrain all powers below the Divine King level.
The Life and Death Arena could be said to be a small independent space. Under the witness of King Tianping, intelligent lifeforms could engage in a fair life-and-death battle here.
Of course, the cost of using the Life and Death Ring was not cheap. At the very least, it was a million Tian Yuan Value each time. Such a high price, ordinary Type 9 powerhouses simply could not afford it.
To be able to fight on the Life and Death Stage, one had to at least be an expert.
Therefore, there were many spectators here all year round. Spies from large organizations, traffickers who specialized in collecting and selling information, idlers who wanted to see the demeanor of a powerhouse, and so on.
The people who gathered all year round gathered together and built a temporary residence. As time passed, this place became more and more prosperous. Finally, it became a medium-sized city: Eight Trigrams City.
Eight Trigrams City was said to be a place where the roads were complicated, like the Xiantian Eight Trigrams Formation, which was hard to identify. However, as the city continued to expand, it was finally divided into eight regions according to the Eight Trigrams.
Eight Trigrams City was a mix of crooks and honest folk, with more than a million permanent residents. There were many unique specialties around the Life and Death Ring. For example, there were some poisonous herbs, strange spirit beasts, and all kinds of minerals. These resources were also important pillars of Eight Trigrams City.
As usual, Lang Fei left Eight Trigrams City's Zhen Fourth District's main gate and sped all the way to the West Mountain at the outermost perimeter of the Life and Death Arena.
The mountains surrounding the Arena of Life and Death were divided into North, South, East, West, and South. The best place to watch the battle was South Mountain. West Mountain's position was the worst.
Lang Fei was only at the seventh rank, and he was traveling alone. To be able to occupy a spot in the Western Hills, his luck was already pretty good.
In reality, because the distance was too far, and the Life and Death Arena was protected by the laws, most battles could only be watched to see the results. They couldn't even see the process of the battle.
Lang Fei had a fortuitous encounter when he was young and managed to refine his third spiritual eye. Although he was far away, he could still roughly see what was going on. If they were lucky, the wolf would be able to see some of the battle.
He enthusiastically watched the battle mainly because he wanted to secretly learn something from the strong. It wasn't to sell information. Of course, he could also sell information and earn some pocket money.
Today, Lang Fei had just reached the summit of the Western Mountain and saw that the summit was already densely packed with people.
There were all kinds of races here. Some were tall, some were short, some were fat, some were skinny, some had wings, some had long hair, some had four legs and eight arms.
Fortunately, the territory here had already been delineated. Lang Fei leisurely arrived at a small piece of empty land that belonged to him. He looked down, but all he saw was a vast expanse of whiteness. He couldn't help but be startled.
"What's the situation?"
The thievish-looking Wang Laowu next to him laughed smugly. "Have you seen this before?"
Lang Fei felt a little dizzy. He had been in Bagua City for more than ten years, but he had never seen such a scene. He asked, "Does booking the entire place mean that no one is allowed to watch the battle?"
"That's true. The one who's going to fight today is the Mysterious North Mountain's Lord, Ao Yin. He's a Heaven Saint, and it's said that he's going to break through to the Divine Level very soon. He's very famous!"
Wang Laowu was almost showing off as he said, "How can we let others watch a fight to the death between experts like this?"
Lang Fei was startled for a moment, then said: "Then how much does it cost to book the entire place?"
"I heard it's the highest level, 50 million."
Speaking of this number, Wang Laowu was also speechless. Even for a large organization like Bei Xuan Mountain, 50 million was still a large number. To them, even in their dreams, they didn't dare to imagine earning 50 million.
Thinking of how such a huge sum of wealth was so easily spent, just to prevent others from watching, Wang Laowu felt his heart ache for Ao Yin.
"If I can't see anything, then I'm finished!"
Lang Fei shouted. He had already collected the Heaven's Value and wanted to bring that person to watch the battle. He didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to see anything. Could it be that he had to retreat!
Lang Fei was somewhat unwilling, but he relied on his credibility in this line of work. He was originally a lone wolf, if he didn't have credibility, he wouldn't be able to survive. Furthermore, the other party was also a powerful character. It seemed like he couldn't afford to offend him!
"You must have brought someone again, hehe, who asked you to always think of taking advantage of others!"
Wang Laowu was very familiar with Lang Fei. Looking at his expression, he knew what was going on and laughed gloatingly.
Lang Fei glared at Wang Laowu. This guy was petty. Their relationship was obviously not bad, but he couldn't see him earn money. Sometimes it was really annoying.
But he didn't have time to care, that person had already contacted him through the Divine Martial Token.
Lang Fei, with an ugly face full of green fur, arrived at the agreed pavilion and found that customer.
"Sorry, the other party paid a sky-high fee to reserve the entire place. I can't see anything …"
Lang Fei said dejectedly, "Mister Yun, why don't I refund you the Heaven's Value?"
The customer opposite him wore a white Daoist robe and carried a black scabbard longsword on his back. He had handsome features and a carefree demeanor. It was the Human Realm Daoist Sect Saint Yun Jiutian.
After passing the Divine Martial Arena test, he obtained the right to directly enter the Four Poles because of his identity as a Sage level expert. So he chose the East Pole.
Wandering around the East Pole these few years, his horizons had been greatly broadened. But it was extremely difficult to meet a true expert, let alone spar with them.
Some time ago, he heard of the famous Life-And-Death Arena, so he specially came over to observe a battle between experts.
But after wandering around for a few days, he found out that the Life-And-Death Arena didn't have experts fighting every day. After all, there weren't many Sage level experts, and they couldn't fight to the death often. Therefore, exciting Life-And-Death Arena battles were extremely rare. One might not even see one in a few years.
Just as Yun Jiutian was about to leave, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering news. Gao Zhengyang was going to fight to the death on the Life-And-Death Arena.
Of course, Gao Zhengyang was unknown in the East Pole and only appeared as an unimportant name in the story.
Yun Jiutian was greatly shocked. After traveling around the East Pole, he realized that he was too inexperienced and narrow-minded in the past. Originally, he thought that Gao Zhengyang was tyrannical and invincible. But compared to the East Pole, Gao Zhengyang was obviously nothing.
Because of this, he even checked the Heavenly Secret Monument once, but he didn't find Shura Of Gojoseon's name. He guessed that Gao Zhengyang's name disappeared because he gave up the Divine Martial Arena.
But he never expected that Gao Zhengyang's name would suddenly appear and be linked to the big shots of the East Pole.
Yun Jiutian's interest was piqued. He immediately took out 1,000 Heavenly Essence Points to hire Lang Fei and buy a spot to watch the battle.
Spending so many Heavenly Essence Points was of course a little expensive, but with Lang Fei leading the way, it would reduce a lot of trouble. For a saint-level expert, earning Heavenly Essence Points wasn't difficult. Yun Jiutian didn't care about such a small expense.
But hearing that he couldn't watch the battle, Yun Jiutian was a little angry. His face darkened and he didn't speak. That awe-inspiring Sword Intent was like an invisible sword pressing on Lang Fei's heart, scaring him so much that his legs turned to jelly.
"Mister Yun, Mister Yun, don't be angry. I'm really not trying to fool you. You really can't see it even if you go up."
Lang Fei was almost about to cry. Seeing that Yun Jiutian wasn't moved, he could only say, "I'll bring Mister Yun up to take a look. It's free. Is that okay? "
"Let's go." Yun Jiutian didn't want to talk nonsense with Lang Fei. He had to go up to take a look no matter what.
Lang Fei led Yun Jiutian back to the top of the West Peak.
The spectators all knew that the arena was booked. They were all cursing, and the mountain top was extremely noisy.
When they arrived, Yun Jiutian saw that the Life-And-Death Arena was indeed protected by layers of powerful laws. The entire space was self-contained, and it was impossible to see anything.
Yun Jiutian was also very disappointed. But since he was already here, he had to wait for the outcome of the battle.
Gao Zhengyang might not be much in the East Pole, but he had unparalleled influence in the human world. If he lost and died, it would undoubtedly change the situation in the human world.
From his own and the Dao Sect's point of view, Yun Jiutian hoped that Gao Zhengyang would die. But from the perspective of the human race, Gao Zhengyang was like a stabilizing force with irreplaceable importance.
"Tell me everything you know in detail. You don't have to return the fee."
Although Yun Jiutian knew that Gao Zhengyang was going to fight, he had no idea why he was fighting or what Ao Yin's background was.
There were all kinds of rumors, but they were all hearsay and very unreliable. Lang Fei was, after all, a peddler of information. What he said was relatively reliable.
Lang Fei didn't know what Yun Jiutian was thinking, but he was still very happy to be able to use some information to protect the Heaven Essence he earned.
"Ao Yin, North Xuan Mountain Lord, Heaven Tier Saint. He's a descendant of an ancient divine dragon and has a pure bloodline. It's said that he's going to break through to the divine level soon. Although there are many experts in the East Pole, Ao Yin can probably be ranked in the top 100. "
"Top 100?" Yun Jiutian was a little confused. This ranking wasn't very high.
Lang Fei knew that Yun Jiutian didn't understand and explained, "The East Pole is vast and boundless. For dozens of eras, there have been many experts. Among them, there are no lack of divine level experts and even Divine King experts. Ao Yin is a Saint level expert. It's already very impressive for him to be ranked in the top 100! It's said that he's not even 20,000 years old, which is even more impressive … "
Yun Jiutian was speechless. Not even 20,000 years old was considered young. Then what if he was only 200 years old! And Gao Zhengyang was only a few decades old!
But he also understood what Lang Fei meant. Compared to other experts, Ao Yin was considered a young genius.
"North Xuan Mountain has 800 Peak Lords, each with their own special abilities. They dominate the north and are a powerful force that recently rose …"
Eight Trigrams City was located to the south of North Xuan Mountain, only a few million miles away. Lang Fei was rather familiar with North Xuan Mountain and talked non-stop.
Listening to Lang Fei's rough introduction, Yun Jiutian also had a basic understanding of North Xuan Mountain and Ao Yin.
In terms of strength, North Xuan Mountain could only barely be considered second-rate in the East Pole. But the few leaders of North Xuan Mountain were all pure-blooded dragons. Not only were they powerful themselves, but the dragon clan forces behind them were even more robust. Although there were many experts in the East Pole, no one would go against Ao Yin.
Such an expert with boundless prospects suddenly wanting to have a deathmatch with someone on the life-and-death platform naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
Lang Fei pointed to the mountain peak to the south and said, "I heard that the Immeasurable Sword Sect, Myriad Demon Pavilion, Heavenly Demon Guild, and other top organizations also sent people to spectate the battle! Not being able to see the decisive battle, being able to see these big shots is also good … "
Lang Fei's voice had yet to fade when a huge mutated beast suddenly appeared in the sky. Its body was like a fish, with translucent ice-blue scales growing on the surface of its body. Yet, it had two pairs of crystal-like long wings.
The moment the mutated beast appeared, it attracted many gazes.
Lang Fei thought for a moment, then pointed at the flying fish with a face full of surprise and shouted, "Flying Kun, one of the strongest battle generals of the Myriad Demon Pavilion."
Before Lang Fei's voice faded, the Flying Kun turned in midair and transformed into a nine-foot-tall burly man, directly landing on the peak of South Mountain.
With the appearance of the Flying Kun, the sky became lively. Tens of thousands of swords formed a sword wheel, the Nine-Winged Green Luan, and the blazing Scarlet Sun Wheel tore through the sky one by one.
Powerful auras emanated by experts soared into the sky.
Yun Jiutian looked over with his Spirit Eye and saw rays of divine light on the peak of South Mountain. The aura of the weakest Sage-level expert was much stronger than his.
Although he knew that there were many experts in the East Pole, seeing more than a hundred Sage-level experts gathered with his own eyes, even with his ability, he was still dazzled and could not control himself.
After a while, Yun Jiutian heard a long dragon roar. A divine mountain suddenly rushed out of the void, and a huge wave of Essence Qi caused the clouds in the sky to scatter. Even though he was hundreds of miles away, Yun Jiutian felt his Essence Qi stagnate.
Even those with Lang Fei's cultivation were kneeling on the ground. On the peak of West Mountain, only Yun Jiutian and a few others were able to stand steadily.
"The North Mystic Divine Mountain Warship!"
Lang Fei's body trembled. He seemed to be afraid and extremely excited at the same time. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Legend has it that a powerful person refined the North Mystic Mountain into a warship that can fly in the sky to defend against enemies. So it's true … "
Yun Jiutian was speechless. This North Mystic Divine Mountain was three thousand feet tall, majestic and heavy. Not to mention attacking, just its majestic appearance above the Nine Heavens already had a majestic aura that could suppress all directions.
Yun Jiutian was a prideful man, but the sight of this Divine Mountain was enough to crush his spirit. He did not have any fighting spirit at all. He just felt that the difference between him and the other party was like heaven and earth. They were not on the same level at all.
He let out a long sigh. "Gao Zhengyang actually provoked such a powerful enemy. He's really digging his own grave …"
At that moment, light and shadow flowed in the void, and a few people walked out of it.
The leader was dressed in golden armor, and his long blood-red cloak fluttered in the wind. He looked around proudly. Although he was far away, his domineering aura left a deep impression on everyone.
"Gao Zhengyang!" Yun Jiutian let out another deep sigh, feeling both pity and disappointment.
