Mass Burial Mound …
The most dangerous place in the Blood Demon Battlefield was also the place with the most treasures.
It was not that big, only a few thousand miles in radius. The terrain inside was strange, with bones everywhere. Because people had been trying to find treasures, they had opened up countless tunnels. These tunnels crisscrossed, running through the underground. It was hundreds of times more complicated than the most complicated maze.
Although most of the Astral Reaching Realm warriors knew that there were a lot of treasures in the Mass Burial Mound, and that there was a fifty percent chance of getting a mid-rank treasure, there were not many people who dared to go. It was simply too dangerous. If four or five people went, perhaps only one would make it back alive. It was a dangerous place with only four or five people going.
Of course, the temptation of the treasures was too big. Some of the weaker Astral Reaching Realm warriors would try their luck there. But, there were too few of them. Those who had the confidence to go to the Mass Burial Mound were basically the more powerful Late Astral Reaching Realm warriors. Besides them, the top Astral Reaching Realm warriors had chosen the Mass Burial Mound as a must-go place. For them, the Mass Burial Mound was only a small dangerous place.
As for Extreme Astral Reaching Realm warriors, they were rarely seen in the whole South Rudra Region. They did not lack mid-rank treasures, so naturally, they would not go there.
All in all, the Mass Burial Mound was a place for the top Astral Reaching Realm warriors.
Shoo!
In the sky, a blue shadow streaked across at an extreme speed. From time to time, there would be blood light shooting up into the sky. However, without exception, they were all killed by the sword qi.
"When I was at peak level Early Astral Reaching Realm, I could already fight against Ice Sky. Now that I have reached the Mid Astral Reaching Realm, most of the top Astral Reaching Realm warriors would not be my opponent. However, the situation in the Mass Burial Mound is quite complicated. There might be a couple of top Astral Reaching Realm warriors working together. I still have to be careful."
In the battle for treasures, it would be fine if there were only two people. But once there were a lot of people, a couple of people against one would definitely happen.
…
This was a blood-red world.
The clouds in the sky were so red that they looked like they were about to drip blood. The ground was full of holes, and there were many broken stone tablets stuck in the ground. The smallest of them was seven to eight meters tall, while the tallest one was hundreds of meters tall. They were covered in blood stains, and filled with evil qi.
Caw! Caw!
A few crows flew past. Unlike ordinary crows, the crows here were Blood Crows, the same race as Blood Devils. They lived by devouring blood essence.
Puchi!
All of a sudden, a beam of blood-red light flashed across, and all the blood crows in the sky were swept away. Swoosh! The blood-red light returned to its original spot, condensing into a human shape. It was clearly a high-grade blood demon. Beside him, there were two people. One was wearing a black robe and a ghost mask; it was indeed the Corpse Man. The other was wearing a blood-red robe, and his blood-red pupils were like two blood diamonds, shining with an evil light.
"Tang Xue, your Blood Demon Doppelganger is getting more and more powerful. Its power should have reached the top-level Blood Demon level, right?" The Corpse Man did not let out his Gold Shell Corpse, so his tone was a bit flattering.
The man in the blood-red robe glanced at the Corpse Man, "Just a little bit more. The Blood Demon Doppelganger's growth speed is two times slower than a free high-grade Blood Demon. The reason it could grow until now is because I often bring it to the Blood Demon Battlefield to hunt. Oh right, you are doing well in the Windy Nation. How come you have the time to come to the Blood Demon Battlefield? This is not a place for you to rampage."
The Corpse Man felt a bit embarrassed after being looked down upon. This man was none other than the infamous Master Blood Demon. Master Blood Demon's cultivation had reached the peak of Late Astral Reaching Realm a long time ago. Among the one hundred and eight ghost warriors of the Nine Ghost Cult, he was one of the top warriors. He was more than twice as powerful as the Corpse Man.
"Something unexpected happened. Therefore, I wanted to get a mid-grade artifact from the Blood Demon Battlefield." Although the golden skulls on his body were powerful, they were not artifacts. This time, he wanted a mid-grade claw. If he had a mid-grade defensive artifact, then it would be even better.
"Just follow me. Among those people, any one of them could take your life." The Blood Demon licked his lips as he stared in front of him. A couple of people had appeared out of nowhere.
On the dozens of meters tall stele, a skinny sword artist wearing a blood robe stood. He looked to be in his thirties, and his face was strangely pale. His pitch-black pupils seemed to have the power to pierce through the surreal space, shining brightly and piercing.
"This is the Blood Sword Artist!"
The Corpse Man was stared at by him, and his hair stood on end.
The Blood Demon said, "This man is even crueler than us. His battling power is extremely powerful. He once killed three Late Astral Reaching Realm warriors with one sword attack. Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not provoke him. Otherwise, even if you run to the ends of the earth, he will still be able to catch up."
"Indeed." Although the Corpse Man looked like neither a human nor a ghost, he was also afraid. From the Blood Sword Artist, he could feel a bloody, murderous sword intent. Subconsciously, he did not want to provoke this person, so he did not need the Blood Demon's reminder.
Glancing over the Blood Sword Artist, Master Blood Demon's vision landed on a tall and sturdy man, "Ghost Bear, the leader of the bandits in the Star Lake Black Dragon Empire. He has a large group of Astral Reaching Realm warriors and a lot of underlings. He is also a top Astral Reaching Realm warrior himself. We can pull him into our ranks."
"It does not seem that easy. Our Nine Ghost Cult used to be unparalleled in the past, but now, everyone wants to kill us. Not many people would dare to join us. "
"Everything depends on effort. How would you know if you do not try? The day the leader returns will be the day the South Rudra Region becomes the new leader." The Blood Demon's body emitted a soul-stirring domineering aura.
The Corpse Man was secretly shocked.
The top Astral Reaching Realm warriors were not only the Blood Demon, but also the Blood Sword Artist and the Ghost Bear. On the ground between the steles, there were many different sized tunnels. Right then, a large group of people rushed out. Among them, there were a couple of people with horrifying auras, which were comparable to the Blood Demon and the other two.
Boom!
After a while, beams of blood-colored light shot up into the sky. These light beams appeared from the underground passageway, and they were shot out from the ground.
"Every three days, the Blood Devil Baleful Qi will erupt. Those who are infected by the Blood Devil Baleful Qi will fall into an illusion of slaughter, unable to extricate themselves. The Blood Devil Baleful Qi is no exception. Now that the Blood Devil Baleful Qi has appeared, we will be safe for the next three days.
Waiting until the light beams disappeared, the Blood Demon's body flashed, flying into the nearest tunnel. The Corpse Man and the Blood Demon Doppelganger followed closely behind.
"Go in!"
The Blood Sword Artist and the Ghost Bear jumped in.
As for the people who had just come out, some of them went back to the Demon Defiance Fort, while others rested for a bit before continuing to enter the tunnel.
Soon, there was no one above the burial mound.
…
Shoo!
Landing on the seven meters tall stele, Ye Chen frowned slightly. Just as the Red North Duo had said, there were countless tunnels in this place. People who came here for the first time would definitely be hesitant, since the underground was not like the surface.
"Hehe, I did not expect to meet a newbie here!"
All of a sudden …
A rock behind Ye Chen vibrated, turning into a human shape. It was an Astral Reaching Realm warrior who was good at disguising. Without thinking, he threw a deadly attack toward Ye Chen.
"Didn't anyone tell you that the people who come here are not normal people?"
Turning around, Ye Chen pointed out his finger.
Shoo!
The cloth-like Green Lotus Sword Qi pierced through the warrior's head, causing a blood mist to burst out.
"How is this possible? You are obviously a Mid Astral Reaching Realm warrior." He still could not understand how Ye Chen's battling power could be this powerful.
His right hand made a grabbing gesture, and the warrior's storage ring landed in his hand. Without looking at it, Ye Chen flashed his body and disappeared into the tunnel ten meters away.
"Powerful! Fortunately, I was far away, and could not assassinate him in time. Otherwise, I would be the one dead."
On a slope far away, the soil split open, and a human figure rose up. He looked at the place where Ye Chen had disappeared, and thought to himself that he was lucky. Ye Chen's cultivation base and battling power were not comparable, which made him easy to be overlooked. And, the consequence of being overlooked would be his life.
…
Ah!
Traveling through the pitch-black tunnel, Ye Chen could already hear the sounds of fighting. After a few blinks of an eye, a scream was heard, and the underground returned to silence.
"Every step in this place is dangerous. Not only do I have to guard against the sneak attacks from the top Astral Reaching Realm warriors, I have to guard against the blood demons as well. They are the true masters of this place."
Wearing the Star Scar Sword on his waist, Ye Chen released his soul power. Everything within five hundred meters was under his control. Once there was a slight movement, he would be able to sense it immediately.
Woo woo woo …
A ghostly wail and wolf howl was heard as a few blood lights converged from five hundred meters away.
"High rank blood demons, a bit strange!"
Blood demons were good at sneak attacks, and there were very few examples of them attacking humans head on. These high rank blood demons seemed to be afraid of not being noticed, so they did not hide their aura at all, and even let out a mournful roar.
Ye Chen's goal this time was to find a mid rank great sword. He did not want to be entangled with the blood demons, so he flew down the tunnel.
Shoo!
Sword light flashed!
The high rank blood demons blocking his way were sliced into dozens of pieces.
Gradually, Ye Chen arrived at a depth of a thousand meters. Before he could do anything, an intense battle came from above. The earth shook, and the mountains shook. Mud and rocks flowed down, flooding the tunnels one after another.
Bang!
A huge chunk of mud was thrown at Ye Chen.
"Break!"
The sword light flashed, and the mud chunk was cut in half.
"Eh? There are treasures inside."
Once the mud chunk was separated, countless rays of light could be seen, as if it was embedded with hundreds of bright gems.
"There are a few mid rank treasures."
Easily distinguishing the aura of the mid rank treasures, Ye Chen reached out his hand to suck.
"Courting death! How dare you steal our things!"
Two human figures shot down from above, each throwing an ace attack at Ye Chen. The destructive shockwave collapsed countless tunnels.
Using the Separating Shadow Flying Art, Ye Chen dodged as he raised his head. The first one that entered his eyes was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man, carrying a frightening evil aura. The other one was a short old man with wrinkled skin, looking like dried tree bark.
"Not bad, but your luck is bad!" The old man stared at Ye Chen with evil intentions. He and Ghost Bear had fought over the mud chunk containing many treasures. He did not expect that Ye Chen would appear down there. Unfortunately, he and Ghost Bear were both top Astral Reaching experts. Killing Ye Chen would only take a few moves.
