47: Chapter 47: The Ancient Battlefield of Fallen Immortals

In the cultivation chamber of the Eternal Night Palace, Xiao Ran sat cross-legged.

A Demon Fetal Fruit floated before him, emitting an alluring dark purple luster; the majestic vitality contained within it could be clearly sensed even through a screen.

This was a rare spiritual object capable of increasing the success rate of forming a Nascent Soul by thirty percent for a Cultivator at the Peak of Golden Core.

If it were to appear in the world, it would be enough to cause countless Golden Core Cultivators to fight over it, setting off a bloody storm.

Yet, at this moment, it floated quietly before Xiao Ran.

"Having high talent and the backing of a major Sect is truly great!"

A smile appeared on Xiao Ran's face.

If this Demon Fetal Fruit were in other novels, wouldn't it be fought over for eight or ten chapters?

As expected, some protagonists are born in Rome.

Xiao Ran just happened to be the one closest to Rome.

"Unfortunately, it is still too early for me to consume it."

Xiao Ran murmured in a low voice.

His cultivation at the last stage of Golden Core had only just stabilized, and he was still some distance from Great Perfection; forcing a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul would do more harm than good.

"I will keep it for now and use it when I reach the Great Perfection of the Golden Core."

Xiao Ran carefully put the Demon Fetal Fruit away.

Afterward, he took out a bottle of Earth Rank healing Medicinal Pill and took three of them.

The Medicinal Pill entered his stomach, turning into a warm current that repaired his injuries.

His Myriad Dao Guixu Body operated simultaneously, devouring the medicinal power, and his recovery speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

In less than half a day.

The hidden injuries left by yesterday's fierce battle had healed by ninety percent.

Just as he was preparing to continue contemplating the Guixu Demon Scripture, Zhao Ying came to report in a hurry.

"My Lord, the Sect has issued an order for all Demon Sons to proceed to the Eternal Night Palace immediately."

Xiao Ran was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"Do you know what it is about?"

"My Lord, I do not have the qualifications to know."

Zhao Ying rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly; it was true that he was responsible for gathering intelligence, but that was just for Sect gossip, rumors, and the like.

Whenever it involved major events, he had no qualifications to know about them.

"Fine!"

"I will go and see for myself!"

Eternal Night Palace.

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the eight Demon Sons gathered here.

Li Tianxing stood at the head of the group with his eyes closed, his aura of blood and evil restrained like an abyss.

White Bone Scholar smiled while fanning himself, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

Poison Lady leaned against a palace pillar, colorful smoke curling around her fingertips.

Yin Jiuyou was hidden under a black robe, with a chilling aura permeating the air.

Blood Slaughterer carried a giant axe on his shoulder, grinning.

Ghost Shadow's figure was blurry, appearing and disappearing.

Xiao Ran and Tie Kuang stood at the end of the line.

On the high platform inside the palace.

Mo Yuan sat in the main seat, with three old men whose auras were unfathomable standing beside him; they were all Elders at the Late Soul Transformation Stage.

"Everyone has arrived."

Mo Yuan spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the palace.

"I summoned you here today regarding the Ancient Fallen Immortal Battlefield; the Demon Son ranking competition is temporarily suspended."

He swept his gaze over the eight people and continued.

"The Ancient Fallen Immortal Battlefield, which opens once every thirty years in the Northern Region, will open in three months."

"According to custom, anyone from the Northern Region's Righteous and Demonic Paths, the eight great clans, as well as the Loose Cultivators Alliance, who is under fifty years of age and has not reached the Soul Transformation Stage, may enter."

"The Ancient Fallen Immortal Battlefield is a fragmented space left over from the ancient Immortal-Demon war, containing countless Opportunities—ancient Cultivation Techniques, incomplete Magic Treasures, heaven and earth spiritual objects, and even... the Immortal-Demon Inheritance."

As his voice fell, the atmosphere in the palace tightened slightly.

Even Li Tianxing opened his eyes in excitement.

Xiao Ran's heart was shaken.

"The Immortal-Demon Inheritance?"

Above Void Refining is Body Integration, after Body Integration is Undergoing Tribulation, and only after the Undergoing Tribulation Stage are the legendary Immortals and Demons.

"Is this Ancient Fallen Immortal Battlefield really that prestigious?"

In fact, it was true; it is said that the Ancient Fallen Immortal Battlefield is an Ancient Battlefield left behind when the void shattered due to the ancient war between gods and demons.

However, there was one thing Mo Yuan did not tell them: after that battle, the Ancient Fallen Immortal Battlefield shattered into many space fragments, and each one was an Ancient Battlefield ruin.

And the ruin Mo Yuan was asking them to participate in this time was exactly one of these small Ancient Battlefield fragments.

"Of course, Opportunities come with risks."

"The Ancient Battlefield is filled with Restrictions, the space is unstable, and there are ancient wandering souls and resentful demonic creatures; the mortality rate of those who have entered in previous sessions... is as high as thirty percent."

Mo Yuan continued.

"Thirty percent!"

This meant that for every ten people, three would remain there forever!

These three people were all Prodigy Disciples from various Sects, which shows the danger level of the ruins.

"The Sect wants us to go in?"

The fifth Demon Son, Blood Slaughterer, licked his lips, his eyes burning with Battle Intent.

"Correct."

"The condition for entering this time is to be below the Soul Transformation Stage, and the Sect Master has ordered that all eight of you must enter."

Mo Yuan nodded and said.

Every time the ruins open, there are different entry conditions; if someone who does not meet the conditions forces their way in, it will cause the ruins to shatter, and no one will be able to play.

Therefore, every major Sect and Holy Land selects candidates based on the requirements of the ruins.

This time, it just so happens that the requirement for the ruins is below the Soul Transformation Stage.

The eight Demon Sons of the Eternal Night Demon Sect exactly meet this requirement.

"Moreover, if you can bring back spoils of sufficient value, the Sect will grant corresponding contribution point rewards based on the grade and quantity of the resources brought back. At the same time..."

"If you can find the blood god flower or nine netherworld underworld iron in the Ancient Battlefield, you can exchange it for a chance to enter the Eternal Night Demon Pool to Cultivate."

Mo Yuan looked at the others and said.

Of course, the last sentence was mainly spoken for Li Tianxing.

Li Tianxing's pupils shrank upon hearing this.

The Eternal Night Demon Pool is the most core Holy Land for cultivation in the Eternal Night Demon Sect.

It is said that the pool contains ancient demonic blood, which has miraculous effects on tempering the demonic body and breaking through Bottlenecks.

Even he, the first Demon Son, has not had the Opportunity to enter it in decades.

White Bone Scholar and the others also had fiery eyes.

"In addition, fighting is not prohibited within the Ancient Battlefield."

"The Righteous and Demonic Paths, as well as various Sects, will all send their most outstanding Disciples to enter; you may... act as you please while inside."

The meaning of these words was very clear.

If you encounter people from hostile Sects, kill them without mercy.

Even if you encounter precious resources, you can fight for them, even if the other party is from your own path.

The rules of the Demonic Path have always been this way.

"Palace Master, are there area divisions within the Ancient Battlefield?"

White Bone Scholar suddenly asked.

"Yes."

Mo Yuan waved his hand, and eight Jade Slips flew toward everyone.

"The Jade Slips record the known map of the Ancient Battlefield, dangerous areas, resource distribution, and intelligence on the Prodigies that other Sects might send."

Xiao Ran took the Jade Slip and scanned it with his Divine Sense.

The map was quite detailed, dividing the Ancient Battlefield into nine areas: four outer areas, four inner areas, and the core Fallen Immortal Platform.

The intelligence section was even more detailed.

Supreme Dao Palace: Ling Jianxin (Peak of Nascent Soul, Sword Bone Dao Fetal), Su Qinghan (Peak of Nascent Soul, Taiyin Spirit Body), Li Changsheng (Middle Stage of Golden Core, Innate Dao Embryo Sacred Body).

Heavenly Sword Sect: Jian Wuchen (Nascent Soul middle stage, Heavenly Sword Spirit Body)...

Xuan Yin Cult: Fairy Youyue (Late Nascent Soul Stage, Mysterious Yin Body)...

Righteous Alliance: Ba Dao (Late Nascent Soul Stage, Tyrant Blade Battle Body)...

In total, it recorded nearly a hundred well-known young Prodigies in the Northern Region, with cultivation levels ranging from the Middle Stage of Golden Core to the Peak of Nascent Soul.

"Li Changsheng..."

Xiao Ran's heart stirred when he saw this name.

So this kid is the one with the lowest cultivation level among everyone; I must mock him fiercely later.

"This opening of the Ancient Battlefield will last for three months."

"After three months, the space channel will close; if you fail to leave in time, you will be trapped inside and have to wait for the next ten years."

"Of course, that is assuming you can survive until then."

Mo Yuan gave a few well-intentioned reminders and finally said.

"You have three days to prepare; you may go to the Sect treasury to exchange for Medicinal Pill, Magical Artifact, and Talisman. Those who lack contribution points may overdraw them and pay them back after returning from the Ancient Battlefield."

"Now, disperse and prepare."

The eight people bowed and exited the palace.
