After staying in the Venerable City for a few more days, Lin Xiu and Liu Cheng had no choice but to continue on their journey.
Although the two of them were powerful existences in the Venerable Realm, the central region where the Great Emperor of the Antiquity resided was indeed extraordinary. If ordinary powerhouses did not have detailed directions, they would not be able to find the correct path no matter how hard they searched.
Moreover, the Great Emperor of the Antiquity had a very strange condition for the recruitment this time. No one was allowed to use teleportation to quickly reach the center of the world. Instead, they had to rely on their own abilities to reach the Emperor City.
This time, according to Liu Cheng's conservative estimate, there were at least a hundred powerhouses in the Ancient Antiquity World that had reached the Venerable Realm. This force could be said to be extremely powerful.
Faced with such a large number of powerhouses, no matter what dangers there were in the Ancient Antiquity World, they should be able to easily deal with them. Therefore, everyone was puzzled by the Great Emperor of the Antiquity World's thoughts.
Although there were many bumps along the way, Lin Xiu and Liu Cheng managed to get through most of them without any mishap.
During this period of time, the most powerful demonic beast they encountered had even reached the second level of the Venerable Realm. If Liu Cheng had to face it alone, he would have been extremely cautious. However, in front of Lin Xiu, even a second level powerhouse could not do anything to him. Instead, it was heavily injured by Lin Xiu and left in the end.
This also made Liu Cheng feel a little more confident. With his strength, he was probably at the bottom of the Venerable Realm. As long as one reached the second level of the Venerable Realm, they would all be famous overlords.
Liu Cheng was only envious of Lin Xiu for being able to reach such a level in such a short period of time. However, he did not feel much jealousy.
After all, everyone had witnessed Lin Xiu's hard work. For more than a decade, he had been constantly searching for cultivation techniques in an attempt to master them. One could imagine how much effort Lin Xiu had put in.
The two of them were friends who had gone through life and death together. Lin Xiu's strength meant that Liu Cheng's safety would be greatly guaranteed.
Both of their speeds were unparalleled. In an instant, they streaked across the sky, leaving beautiful traces in the sky.
On this night, a layer of gray mist suddenly appeared in the sky before them. For some reason, Lin Xiu felt a sense of fear. Then, without hesitation, he grabbed Liu Cheng's collar and instantly retreated.
"What is this thing? Why do I feel so afraid? " Liu Cheng opened his mouth wide and muttered to himself. However, Lin Xiu could not give him any answer and just shook his head silently.
"I'm afraid that this is the true test that the Emperor of Antiquity has for us. The beasts are just an appetizer. Only in such an extremely harsh environment can one see the state of mind of a person." After thinking for a while, Lin Xiu could only speculate like this.
But things did not end there. The gray mist seemed to have sensed the presence of the two and expanded rapidly. Soon, it engulfed the two of them.
Within the gray fog, one couldn't even see their own fingers. At this moment, Lin Xiu seemed to have lost his sense of direction. Although he cultivated the Star Refinement Technique and could resonate with the Star Refinement Technique in the sky, it seemed that even his perception was completely blocked at this moment.
As for his own safety, Lin Xiu had nothing to worry about. After all, there was no doubt about his strength. However, he was a little worried about Liu Cheng. After all, Liu Cheng had just entered the Venerable Realm not long ago and his combat strength had not been excavated to the extreme. If he really encountered any danger, he was afraid that he would really be in danger this time.
At this point, Lin Xiu could only take one step at a time. He slowly descended and stepped on the ground. What surprised him was that there seemed to be a lot of buildings on the ground and there were many warriors coming and going.
Lin Xiu carefully searched with his divine sense and found that everything in front of him was not an illusion, but a real existence.
But there was a voice in his heart that kept reminding him that there must be something wrong. Even Lin Xiu could not resist the gray mist. Most of these warriors were only in the Cosmos Realm, how could they move freely in it?
Lin Xiu shook his head silently. Anyway, he did not have any good ideas now. He could only come forward and see if he could get some useful information from these warriors.
However, the divine sense of those people was also very sharp. After noticing Lin Xiu, one of them immediately flew over and seemed to have completely ignored the common sense that in the Light Valley world, one could not fly after reaching the Dao Enlightenment Realm.
"Haha, I didn't expect another brother to come. I believe you must be very curious as to why we can be safe and sound in the mist. And I only seem to be in the Cosmos Realm, how can I fly in the air?" The person in the lead was a fat man with a big belly. He had a gentle smile on his face and said directly to Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu did not expect the fat man to see through the doubts in his heart at a glance. This made Lin Xiu a little surprised, but without Lin Xiu asking, the fat man took the initiative to explain everything clearly.
It turned out that the perception in this world was not born naturally, but was created out of thin air by the Emperor of the Ancients with his powerful and unparalleled power according to the will of the world.
As for the conscription this time, Lin Xiu finally found out the reason from the fatty.
Worlds with extremely powerful cultivation strength like this all had their own camps. Originally, there were three rulers in the starry sky. The three forces were like three legs of a tripod, and they were afraid of each other. This also gave the powerhouses of the middle-level worlds a chance to breathe and ushered in a rare period of peace.
But tens of thousands of years ago, the fall of the Starry Sky Ruler broke this delicate balance. The remaining two rulers were originally incompatible like fire and water, and at this time, there were even more rounds of battles. When the strength of both sides was greatly damaged, they suddenly thought of starting to start to incorporate the forces that originally belonged to the Star Ruler to replenish their strength.
What shocked Lin Xiu even more was that he did not expect the Ancient Desolate World to belong to the camp of the Star Ruler back then. That Emperor of the Ancients was even a fierce general under the Star Ruler and could be said to be loyal to the Star Ruler.
The reason why they were gathered again for the first time was to screen out the powerhouses of the Venerable Realm with the most potential and give them the greatest degree of training, so that they could select brave and fierce generals who could fight with him.
Although the Star Ruler had been dead for tens of thousands of years, the forces under him hadn't completely disappeared. On the contrary, because the Star Ruler was a very amiable person, the powerhouses under him had great trust in him. Even though tens of thousands of years had passed, their feelings for him hadn't faded in the slightest.
After listening to the fatty explain the cause and effect of the matter, Lin Xiu also let out a long sigh of relief. Since there was such a loyal existence like the Great Emperor of the Ancients under the Ruler of the Stellar Star, his future path of martial arts would definitely be easier.
But at this moment, Lin Xiu still did not want to reveal his identity prematurely. After all, tens of thousands of years had passed, no one knew whether the Emperor of the Ancients had changed or not.
Once he secretly defected to the other two Juggernauts and used the recruitment of powerhouses as bait, he would attract all the power that originally belonged to the Astral Ruler. That would definitely cause an extremely devastating blow to the Astral Ruler.
Now that he had understood the truth of the matter, Lin Xiu was not so worried about Liu Cheng. No matter what, at least the other party should be very safe now. As expected, after just ten minutes, Lin Xiu found Liu Cheng's figure.
There were about 30 powerhouses gathered in this small town. From their conversation, Lin Xiu found that these powerhouses were familiar with each other and were very respectful to three of them. Lin Xiu did not know where they came from.
Fortunately, the three powerhouses quickly came to Lin Xiu's side and said in a friendly tone, "Brother, you must have just advanced to the Venerable Realm, so you look a little unfamiliar. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Mu Hu, and my strength is at the second level of the Venerable Realm. The two next to me are my brothers, Xiao Yan and Xiao Ding, who have also reached the second level of the Venerable Realm. "
The gentle words entered Lin Xiu\'s ears and set off a storm in his heart. He didn\'t expect the three in front of him to actually reach the second level of the Venerable Realm. It was no wonder that the people around were so fawning over them.
The two sworn brothers next to him also nodded slightly at Lin Xiu. As for Liu Cheng, they had already done some investigation. After all, Liu Cheng replaced Yao Kun and became the ruler of a region. Most of the Venerable Realm powerhouses had information about him.
Lin Xiu also bowed slightly. No matter what, his strength was indeed the lowest among the people present. However, he did not know what this expert at the second level of the Venerable Realm wanted.
Very soon, everything was revealed. Mu Hu came to the center of the crowd and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, there are about a hundred Venerable Realm powerhouses under the Great Emperor. This time, they are divided into four directions: East, West, South. I'm afraid that this batch of people is almost all here. Although the majority of people already know the purpose of this conscription, let me tell you the specifics in detail."
Mu Hu nodded to Xiao Yan, who was standing on his left. Xiao Yan immediately took a step forward. After which, he spoke with a solemn face, "This time around, not everyone will have the honor of following the Great God into battle. If you wish to obtain all the resources that are tilted to you, you must show your true ability. We've been split into four camps: North, South, East, West, and South. We have a short month to rest and reorganize here. After a month, the gray fog will transform into an enormous teleportation formation that will teleport us over a hundred Venerables to an ancient battlefield, where we will undergo the Trial of Blood and Fire. "
When everyone heard this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
It seemed that the Great Emperor of the Antiquity was not so assured with the strength of the Venerables under him. Hence, he wanted to train them in the ancient battlefield.
As its name suggested, the Primordial Battlefield was the main location where the three powers had fought in the past. It was filled with an oppressive killing intent, and it was filled with boundless spatial fragments. Even a supreme expert at the Exalt Realm might get lost there if they were careless.
