Many people noticed that Yi Yun was studying the laws of the passageway but ignored him completely. They continued walking deeper into the Divine Perish Hall.
In fact, they had also sensed the laws of the passageway but had not studied them. There were many places in the ancient battlefield that had such strange laws. Many of their predecessors had spent a great deal of effort to study these laws but to no avail. They did not want to waste their efforts.
Most warriors that entered the ancient battlefield would have jade slips of experience left behind by their predecessors. They knew which forbidden lands were the most valuable and which places had the most opportunities. There were even some specific difficulties that the jade slips of experience would introduce tricks to clear.
Most people that entered the ancient battlefield would choose to follow these experiences. It would save them a great deal of time and increase their efficiency while ensuring their safety.
"This Yi Yun probably doesn't dare enter the Divine Perish Hall with us. That's why he's deliberately dawdling at the entrance," said Wan Qing with a scoff.
Wan Qing said with a scoff as he followed Li Fire Divine Lord into the Divine Perish Hall's inner sanctum. The moment he stepped through the inner sanctum, Wan Qing immediately felt the world spin around him. When he focused his eyes, he realized that his surroundings had changed drastically. There was no longer a hall in sight. Replacing it was a lush grassland.
The sky was dark and the sun was obscured by the perpetual clouds. The air was filled with oppressive Yuan Qi and killing intent.
"Lord Li Fire, what is this place?"
The world gave Wan Qing an extremely dangerous aura. It was not the Divine Perish Hall that he knew.
At this moment, the screams of a martial artist came from not too far away. Wan Qing hurriedly looked over and saw that the martial artist had followed them in. As soon as he came in, he took a few steps forward before his body suddenly exploded, turning into a mist of blood. The place where he died was clearly empty.
"This …" Wan Qing's pupils constricted. He had no idea how the person had died. Someone had died the moment they entered. This place was just too creepy!
"Lord Li Fire, what do we do?" Wan Qing turned a little flustered. He never expected to enter such a dangerous environment.
"What are you panicking for!?" bellowed Li Fire Divine Lord coldly.
At that moment, Li Fire Divine Lord was looking at the world with a frown. It was indeed not the Divine Perish Hall that was mentioned in the books. That meant that it was either an extremely similar forbidden land that was different or the Divine Perish Hall had undergone an anomaly.
"Hmm?"
Li Fire Divine Lord's heart suddenly stirred as he swiped his interspatial ring. An emerald-green jade token appeared in his hand.
This was the Primordial Battlefield's Teleportation Jade Token. However, the runes on the jade token had lost all their luster and were completely dim.
"The teleportation jade medallion has lost its effect."
Li Fire Divine Lord said indifferently.
"What … this …" Wan Qing's heart tightened. In the Ancient Battlefield, there were some worlds within worlds that had a world barrier between the Ancient Battlefield and the Ancient Battlefield. This prevented the teleportation jade token from being used.
Under normal circumstances, this sort of world within a world was extremely dangerous. Adding on the fact that one didn't have a jade plate, it was as if one's life or death was determined by the heavens. In the ancient records, there were even some danger zones where all the martial artists who entered died tragically.
"If you are worried about danger, leave on your own. Now that you have just entered the forbidden land, you should still be able to leave. But once you enter, it will be difficult for you to leave again," said Li Fire Divine Lord as he shot a glance at Wan Qing.
"I …" Wan Qing was indeed feeling apprehensive. His talent was not considered heaven-defying but he did not wish to appear cowardly in front of Li Fire Divine Lord. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Li Fire, I came to the ancient battlefield to challenge myself. If I were to shrink back in the face of such a huge opportunity, I would probably not be able to accomplish much in martial arts. I want to enter!"
"Then follow me!" Li Fire Divine Lord appeared rather cold towards Wan Qing. Although Wan Qing came from the same family clan as him, Wan Qing was not worthy of special attention given Li Fire Divine Lord's status.
"I sensed an intense killing intent just now. That person was likely annihilated by a blob of killing intent," said Li Fire Divine Lord.
Just killing intent alone could strangle a person to death? What sort of terrifying thing was that killing intent!? Wan Qing was alarmed but he did not dare ask further.
He followed Li Fire Divine Lord as though he was treading on thin ice. Unbeknownst to him, on the ancient Recognition Monument outside the Divine Perish Hall, some of the ancient names that were not deeply engraved were slowly vanishing. It was as though thousands of years of weathering had been compressed into a few seconds.
This scene was seen by many people who had arrived outside the Divine Perish Hall but had yet to enter.
"What's happening? The names on the monument are suddenly vanishing. There are only … two names left? "
Not only were there only two names, but the engravings on the two names seemed to have been eroded by sand. The engravings were very shallow, as though they were barely left on the monument. They would vanish in a few more years.
"Dong Xiaochen, Ziche Ze! These two names … "
Most people present did not know who Ziche Ze was, but Dong Xiaochen was a famous expert. Although he was only a double-sealed Divine Lord, he had fused with two Royal Seals. One of them was a Sage Royal Seal that had been passed down from ancient times.
Just that Sage Royal Seal alone made Dong Xiaochen's name known to many people. A few old freaks with deep cultivation levels had attempted to kill Dong Xiaochen and snatch his Royal Seal, only to be killed by him instead.
That battle caused Dong Xiaochen's reputation to soar.
"Impressive. Even someone as strong as Dong Xiaochen only managed to leave such a shallow name on the monument. Yet, the names of others have vanished. It's as though they are not qualified to leave their names on the monument. What's going on with the Divine Perish Hall?"
People were baffled but there was no doubt that the Divine Perish Hall had undergone some changes. Furthermore, it had become even more dangerous.
If Dong Xiaochen had barely managed to leave his name on the Divine Perish Hall's monument, then there was no need for most of them to enter the Divine Perish Hall. They might even perish inside if they were not careful.
But even though they realized this point, many people were unwilling to retreat. After all, danger meant greater opportunities!
"The Divine Perish Hall's opening this time is extraordinary. I have no idea how long this entrance will last. If we were to give up because of our cowardice, we might be giving up the only chance of making a great leap in our lives!"
"That's right. Riches come from danger. I can't accept not entering a mountain of treasure. Let's attempt it. At the very least, I won't regret it!"
The people who spoke were two young geniuses from the Magnificent Heaven. They were young and full of vigor. They had lofty aspirations. Although it was a forbidden zone that Dong Xiaochen might not have obtained much from, they had entered without hesitation!
As though they were inspired by the two young geniuses, many warriors that rushed later stepped into the Divine Perish Hall.
Despite knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, they still chose to venture into it! These genius warriors had come to the ancient battlefield in search of opportunities. Warriors defied the heavens. If they avoided danger at the sight of it, what was the point of cultivating in martial arts?
Of course, there were many people who did not share the same sentiments. If they lost their lives, there was no point in pursuing the martial path. It was important to know one's limitations.
"Oh? That person is … "
The moment they entered the Divine Perish Hall, they did not encounter the magnificent dangers they had imagined. Instead, they saw a person standing at the entrance of the Divine Perish Hall.
In the beginning, they believed that the person had sensed the anomaly in the Divine Perish Hall and did not dare enter. But on careful inspection, the person appeared to be studying something. Furthermore, from the way he looked, he had been studying it for quite some time.
This rendered them speechless. They were originally burning with fighting spirit as they charged into the Divine Perish Hall with their blood boiling. But now, there was a person standing there studying the Divine Perish Hall's passageway?
What was there to study about the passageway? It was obvious that the most dangerous places in the Divine Perish Hall were also the places with the greatest opportunities. They were all located in the deepest depths of the Divine Perish Hall. What treasures could there be in a seemingly clean passageway?
"Isn't he the warrior from the White Lunar Divine Empire?"
A few people recognized Yi Yun. They were somewhat astonished because Yi Yun had come here alone. He did not look weak, but the fact that he had stayed here to gain insight into the laws of the passageway was too odd. It felt like he had gone to an immortal peach garden to pick up firewood instead of peaches.
"Ignore him. Let's enter." Two Magnificent Heaven geniuses said. The passageway had laws of repulsion. They were no stranger to such laws. It was recorded in the jade slips of experience. All they needed to do was use some ingenious means to resolve it.
People began walking towards the Divine Perish Hall's inner sanctum. However, Yi Yun did not even give them a glance.
Yi Yun obviously had a jade slip from the Nanxuan family clan in hand. However, he did not wish to follow the experiences within.
After all, the person who left behind the jade slip was a human, not the Heavenly Dao or a god.
Following the experiences might allow one to take many shortcuts, but it would also cause one to miss out on the unknown due to the lack of experience. It would cause one's accomplishments in the ancient battlefield to be unable to exceed those of their predecessors.
This was also the reason why Yi Yun insisted on purchasing the Decimation Token despite knowing that it was useless.
Even now, the laws were chaotic and odd. Yi Yun still spent a great deal of time despite knowing that it was futile to try and figure it out. It might even be completely worthless.
He stayed at the Divine Perish Hall's entrance for a long period of time. He failed to figure out the laws but for some reason, the laws gave him a sense of déjà vu. But when he tried to search for it, the sense of déjà vu vanished. It was as though he had an instant of inspiration that he could not grasp.
Could it be that … the laws are related to the cultivation technique he once cultivated in?
Yi Yun recalled the most mysterious cultivation technique he had cultivated in — 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.
Back in the ancient Empyrean Heaven, Yi Yun had seen an extremely shocking scene from a Purple Crystal Chaos Stone during the Luo clan's trials. A long-haired man dressed in black armor wielded a spear. Back then, Yi Yun was a great distance away from the man but the instant he saw him, Yi Yun felt like he was facing the Universe and primordial stars.
The man's killing intent surged and just his aura was enough to stir the worldly laws. Yi Yun felt like he was a tiny boat in a storm amidst the suppressive might, about to be engulfed at any moment.
And what alarmed Yi Yun the most was that the spear-wielding man had a purple crystal in front of his chest. It was none other than the Purple Crystal Origins!
Following that, the man threw out the spear in his hand. The spear constantly grew in size in the Universe and finally, it reached an unbelievable size. It could string together hundreds of stars. When such a massive spear landed at the man's feet, it condensed land, oceans, plants, beasts, including Fey beasts and humans.
Just like that, the spear transformed into a long and narrow world.
Yi Yun did not know what it meant to casually transform his weapon into a world but he had a deep feeling that the long-haired man was stronger than anyone he had ever seen in his life.
Yi Yun had never seen a Godly Monarch before but he had seen the sculptures of the eight Godly Monarchs. He felt that even the eight ancient Godly Monarchs were inferior to this man.
And this man was the former owner of the Purple Crystal.
Yi Yun had also gained insights into the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence from the runic shadows the man produced when he created the world.
Even if Yi Yun only gained a fraction of this mysterious cultivation technique's insights, he was still able to produce unparalleled strength.
The ultimate law Yi Yun gained insight into — the Dao of Major Destruction — evolved from the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence.
Yi Yun recalled the legends of the Ancient Ruins world's ancient battlefield. Some people said that it was the true Sinkhole, while others said that it was the battlefield of ancient Gods. There were also others who said that the world was naturally formed by the Heavenly Dao …
The chaotic laws at the Divine Perish Hall's entrance were just the tip of the iceberg of the ancient battlefield. However, it made Yi Yun come up with a baffling bold theory. Was it possible that the Ancient Ruins world's ancient battlefield was created by someone who surpassed a Godly Monarch, such as the Purple Crystal's owner? Just like how he had created the world with his spear?
