Ambush!
The ambush was so sudden that Chen Zong did not even sense it until it was launched.
It was worth noting that Chen Zong's perception was very sharp, far better than that of other Path Manipulation Realm cultivators. Even so, he only sensed it at the beginning of the ambush. If it were other Path Manipulation Realm cultivators, they would have sensed it even slower, or even be killed.
That cold and violent killing intent was very strong, very clear, and very shocking. It was as sudden as a bolt of lightning or a flame. Chen Zong felt that this aura was very familiar.
It was the aura of the Demon Barbarians!
If he was not mistaken, it was the Demon Barbarians who launched the ambush.
There were Demon Barbarians here, 40,000 light miles away from the No. 9 small fortress. It was incredible.
In an instant, Chen Zong's thoughts flashed like lightning, and he quickly deduced.
Either that, or there were traitors, commonly known as barbarian traitors, cultivators who had been secretly recruited by the Barbarian Tribe for some reason. They lurked among the humans, secretly providing information to the Barbarian Tribe and setting up traps for cultivators.
Or the Demon Barbarians were very terrifying and had amazing infiltration ability, sneaking in here without anyone knowing and attacking the cultivators.
No matter which it was, now was not the time to think about it. Moreover, he had just arrived.
In an instant, three terrifying attacks came from three directions. One was extremely sharp, with sharp claws tearing through the air, as if tearing through everything. One was extremely violent, with great force, as if it could destroy everything. One was cold, strange, tricky, and frightening.
The three attacks came from three different directions, and they were very well-coordinated, directly blocking all of Chen Zong's escape routes.
It was like a well-planned ambush, but Chen Zong was more willing to believe that it was an accident.
The attacks came in an instant, as fast as lightning.
The battle prowess of the three Barbarian Demons had reached the seven-star level.
Seven-star was very strong, but it was nothing to Chen Zong.
Chen Zong did not dodge. In an instant, he swung his sword.
The sword flashed and returned to its scabbard in an instant. The three Demon Barbarians who attacked all stopped and died.
Attacking him with such combat strength was simply courting death.
Chen Zong had killed three barbarian warriors with a single sword strike. Then, he collected the corpses of the three barbarian warriors, and prepared to take them to the No. 9 small-sized fortress.
There were still forty thousand light kilometers to go.
Not long after, Chen Zong finally arrived.
Although it was said to be a small fortress, its scale was astonishing from its appearance. It was like a low-level star that was slowly rotating, and its surface was covered with all kinds of buildings.
It was indeed the style of the Eternal Battle Fort.
It was like a battle fortress.
Just by looking at its appearance, Chen Zong felt a sense of horror, and his hair stood on end. He felt that if he approached it rashly and was identified as an enemy, he would suffer a devastating blow.
The Battle Fortress was a camp for cultivators. At the same time, it was also a weapon of war, a gigantic weapon of war.
The next step was to verify his identity. After that, someone led Chen Zong into the Battle Fort to report everything.
"True disciple of the Will Heavenly Palace, Chen Zong. Good, there is no problem with your identity. This is your battle order." At the reporting office of the Battle Fort, Chen Zong received his battle order after passing the second round of verification. After refining it, the battle order turned into a brand that fell on the back of his hand according to Chen Zong's will.
After receiving the battle order, Chen Zong was also assigned a room to rest in. Not long after, someone came to invite Chen Zong, saying that one of the ten Great Generals of the Battle Fort, Cold Wave General, wanted to see him.
Chen Zong's heart skipped a beat. It just so happened that he needed to find the upper echelons of the Battle Fort, so he followed.
There were ten Great Generals in the No. 9 small-sized fortress, and all of them were Yuan Underworld powerhouses.
Although the main combat strength in the light war zone was the Dao Manipulation Realm, which corresponded to the Demon Barbarian Race's warrior level, there would occasionally be Yuan Underworld Hero level experts. Once they appeared, they would cause great casualties to the Dao Manipulation Realm experts.
Therefore, it was very necessary to have Yuan Underworld powerhouses.
Cold Wave General was one of the ten Great Generals of the No. 9 small-sized fortress and was ranked second.
When Chen Zong saw Cold Wave General, he was a middle-aged man with a restrained aura. Even with his strong senses, Chen Zong couldn't sense it. However, Chen Zong sensed a familiar aura from Cold Wave General.
The aura of the Will Heavenly Palace fluctuated.
"Chen Shidi, you are indeed extraordinary." Cold Wave General smiled. "I am Li Hanchao, a true disciple of the Heart Chen Palace of the Will Heavenly Palace."
"Greetings, Senior Brother." Chen Zong saluted unhurriedly, although he was a little surprised.
However, there was nothing strange about it. There were thousands of people in the Will Heavenly Palace, and the number of true disciples was the highest. There were thousands of them and they covered the Dao Manipulation Realm and Yuan Underworld Realm.
Of course, the number of true disciples in the Dao Manipulation Realm was the highest, and there were fewer Yuan Underworld Realm disciples.
There were also a small number of Yuan Underworld Realm disciples who weren't true disciples but had a status higher than that. However, they weren't elders either, because only those in the Divine Ability Realm were qualified to become elders.
However, Yuan Underworld Realm disciples who had another status weren't inferior to elders in the slightest. In fact, their status was even higher than many elders.
"No need to be so polite." Cold Wave General smiled and gestured for Chen Zong to sit down. "This is a war zone and we can be mobilized at any time. Therefore, I won't treat you to a drink."
"Although I'm in charge of the No. 9 small-sized battle fort, I still receive news from the Heavenly Palace every once in a while. Therefore, although I've never seen you before, I still know your name." Li Hanchao smiled again.
"Senior Brother, you flatter me. I am just an insignificant member of the Sky Palace," Chen Zong said modestly.
Li Hanchao smiled faintly and didn't continue on this topic. Instead, he changed his expression and became serious. "Junior Brother, you are new here, while I have been overseeing this place for more than 100 years. Therefore, I know more about it."
Chen Zong also stopped smiling and put on a solemn expression. He seemed to be listening attentively.
"The Demonic Barbarian Race is very ferocious. Anyone who is careless in any battle may die. This kind of war isn't an ordinary battle of experience or a simple life and death battle. It is a war between races and a void battle. It is dozens of times crueler than you can imagine." Li Hanchao's tone and expression were extremely solemn.
"Therefore, even if you are the fifth true disciple of the Wholehearted Palace and have outstanding talent and strength, you absolutely can't relax in this place." Li Hanchao explained the situation here to Chen Zong using the identity of a senior who had many years of experience on the battlefield. He also told Chen Zong a lot of things that he should pay attention to.
After all, Li Hanchao was a true disciple of the Will Sky Palace, and the people of the Will Sky Palace had always been very united.
Li Hanchao told Chen Zong about all kinds of things, and Chen Zong took them all down.
Chen Zong also knew how difficult it was to obtain battle merits.
In simple words, the most direct way to obtain battle merits was to kill a Demonic Barbarian.
Killing a one-star Demonic Barbarian warrior would give you one battle merit, and so on. Killing a two-star Demonic Barbarian warrior would give you two battle merit points.
Killing a nine-star Demonic Barbarian warrior would give you nine battle merit points.
It was very difficult to obtain battle merit points.
However, there would be no change after reaching the ten-star level.
Killing a ten-star Demonic Barbarian warrior would give you 20 battle merit points, killing an eleven-star Demonic Barbarian warrior would give you 100 battle merit points, and killing a twelve-star Demonic Barbarian warrior would give you 1,000 battle merit points. The increase was amazing.
Of course, there were relatively few supreme realm Demonic Barbarian warriors, especially twelve-star Demonic Barbarian warriors.
Therefore, in terms of status, twelve-star Demonic Barbarian warriors were better than most Demonic Barbarian Warriors. Once a twelve-star Demonic Barbarian warrior broke through to become a Hero, his potential would be amazing. It was very likely that he would grow into a twelve-star Hero and be the best among his peers.
It was the same for cultivators.
After all, there were very few people who could break through the norm and reach the Limiteer realm in terms of fighting prowess.
Many Dao Manipulation Realm cultivators could only reach nine-star Demonic Barbarians when they reached the ninth transformation. They could not break through the norm and reach the supreme realm.
It was like a natural chasm.
Killing a one-star Yuan Demon warrior would only give you 100 battle merit points, which was equivalent to killing an eleven-star Dao Manipulation Realm cultivator.
Seeing Chen Zong's strange expression, Li Hanchao seemed to have thought of something. "Junior Brother, how many battle merit points does Wholehearted Dao Master want before you can leave the battlefield?"
"One hundred thousand." This wasn't a secret, so Chen Zong naturally wouldn't hide it.
"100,000!" Li Hanchao suddenly exclaimed, looking very surprised. This made Chen Zong's expression change. It was a little strange.
"100,000 is quite a lot." Li Hanchao sighed and looked at Chen Zong. "Junior Brother, do you know how many battle merit points an ordinary true disciple of the Heavenly Palace needs to serve?"
Chen Zong shook his head. He did not know about this. Was it not 100,000?
"10,000!" Li Hanchao spat out two words, which surprised Chen Zong.
An ordinary true disciple of the Heavenly Palace required 10,000 battle merit points or a hundred years of service.
An elite true disciple of the Heavenly Palace required 50,000 battle merit points or a hundred years of service.
Chen Zong's requirement was 100,000 battle merit points or a hundred years of service.
"Although I don't know why Wholehearted Dao Master wants this, there must be a reason. Junior Brother, you should do your best." Li Hanchao suggested, "A hundred years of service is the minimum requirement. There is no requirement for battle merit, but I still suggest that you try to get 100,000 battle merit points within a hundred years of service. Only more, not less."
Chen Zong nodded, thinking of why Wholehearted Dao Master wanted this.
Title!
True disciple title … Unparalleled!
It seemed to be a little extraordinary.
That was why Wholehearted Dao Master wanted him to serve a hundred years of service or 100,000 battle merit points.
It was just that 100,000 battle merit points were not easy to get.
He did not know how many Demon Barbarian Warriors he had to kill.
Thinking about it, Chen Zong felt that there was still a long way to go.
100,000 battle merit points, in exchange for one-star combat strength, meant that he had to kill 100,000 Demon Barbarian Warriors.
