90: Ancient God Burial Domain

The news of the Burial God Ancient Domain manifesting was like ice water thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting the entire Thirty-Six Prefectures of the Eastern Domain.

Greed and fear intertwined into an invisible giant net, enveloping every inch of land.

Countless streaks of light, from the depths of the impact crater in Starfall Prefecture, the ice fortress of Xuan Shuang Prefecture, the lava underground city of Yanfen Prefecture, the ancient mountain ranges of Dragon Abyss Prefecture, the abyss of ten thousand swords in Jianzhong Prefecture... and even those remote prefectures with thin Spiritual Qi, all surged toward that terrifying battlefield constantly eroding Scarlet Wasteland Prefecture like sharks smelling blood, regardless of the cost!

The initial fervor was quickly extinguished by the cold reality.

"Rumble—!"

"Ugh—!"

"Retreat! Quick, retreat! It's a forbidden zone inside!"

At the edge of the Burial God Ancient Domain, chaotic energy storms raged like a meat grinder.

Fragments of broken Law, like the sharpest blades, sliced through space, cutting through the protective spiritual light and flesh and blood of those who trespassed.

Screams, the sound of Magic Treasures shattering, and the piercing shriek of space being forcibly torn mingled with the distant, mournful cries echoing from the depths of the ancient battlefield, playing out a bloody prelude to death.

The first wave of Loose Cultivators and Cultivators from minor Sects who rushed into the edge of the Ancient Domain were like moths flying into a flame.

Some of the star boats they piloted, upon contact with the distorted edge of the battlefield, were crushed like paper by an invisible force, instantly turning the occupants into dust before they could even scream.

Others relied on their cultivation to forcefully break in a hundred zhang, only to be engulfed by a river of blood-colored Evil Qi that had solidified for ten thousand years. Their Physical Bodies withered and shriveled at a visible rate, and their Divine Souls were torn apart and devoured by the resentment within the Evil Qi, resulting in piercing, desperate wails.

Even more seemed lucky, stepping onto a relatively stable, massive piece of Divine Gold. Before they could rejoice, the fragment beneath their feet suddenly glowed with incomplete runes, unleashing an annihilating torrent of energy that completely wiped out everything within a thousand zhang!

The casualties were so heavy it made one's scalp tingle!

The survivors who narrowly escaped, covered in blood and weak in breath, brought back even more terrifying news:

Temporal Turbulence! The spatial structure within the Ancient Domain was shattered, and the flow of time was bizarre and unpredictable. A moment ago it might be calm Void Realm space, and the next, one could be sucked into a time fault, instantly aging or regressing to infancy! Even Law Realm experts could not guarantee their safety.

The entire Ancient Domain was permeated by a terrifying Evil Qi that had not dissipated for ten thousand years, sedimented with the ultimate resentment and killing intent from the fall of countless Gods and Demons!

It not only eroded the Physical Body but also directly polluted the Divine Soul, inciting Heart Demons. Those with weaker cultivation would fall into madness within moments of entry and slaughter each other!

Countless broken fragments of Law power remained in the battlefield, lying dormant like invisible venomous snakes among the ruins, broken weapons, and even bone dust.

Once triggered, they unleashed world-destroying killing moves! Even more terrifying was that these Law traps were interconnected; disturbing one could set off a chain reaction, forming a deadly forbidden zone covering ten thousand miles!

Those who luckily ventured deeper vaguely sensed terrifying, suffocating auras lying dormant. It was as if ferocious beasts, having slept for ten thousand years, were slowly awakening due to the intrusion from the outside... Just a trace of leaked aura caused Law Realm experts' Divine Souls to split, and even Venerable Realm powerhouses felt a chill down their spines!

"The Burial God Ancient Domain... is a man-eating devil's den!"

"It's not an Opportunity, it's a graveyard!"

"Even the Law Realm Elder was critically injured and carried back!"

"Look! That's the 'Rift-Sky Beast Venerable' from the Demon Domain, his innate ferocious bird... only half a charred skeleton remains!"

"That's the 'Golden Abacus' Venerable from the Wang Family, I heard he lost a protective Magic Treasure just to escape with his life, and half his body was corroded beyond recognition by the Evil Qi!"

Fear spread like a plague.

All the factions whose minds had been clouded by greed were instantly sobered up, as if doused with ice water.

Looking at the teams fleeing back in panic from the direction of the Ancient Domain, each one wounded and depleted, and seeing the lingering horror and despair on their faces, no one dared to easily step into that land of death anymore.

Dragon Locking Prefecture, Heavenly Law Divine Palace.

Before the massive Cosmic Mirror, the atmosphere was even more solemn than before.

The edge of the Burial God Ancient Domain reflected in the mirror was still chaotic, but the frantic influx of lights had clearly thinned out significantly. In their place were more factions hovering around the periphery, observing, or even setting up temporary camps.

The Adjudicator·Yu Heng's icy voice broke the silence: "Preliminary investigation shows that Law Realm experts die instantly upon entry. Venerable Realm experts struggle to protect themselves, and venturing deeper carries immense risk. Only those at the Saint Realm or above are qualified to explore the core area."

The Adjudicator·Kai Yang chimed in, his voice carrying a trace of imperceptible gravity: "Thirty-seven factions have already suffered major losses, including three ancient Sects that possessed Saint Domain Realm backing. The danger of the Ancient Domain far exceeds initial estimates."

Neither the Law Enforcement Hall alone nor any single faction could penetrate the core.

"The Burial God Ancient Domain battlefield is currently very unstable and not suitable for entry. We will make plans after the Burial God Ancient Domain completely stabilizes."

The Town Suppression Guardian·Yue Zhen's Battle Intent grew stronger, licking his lips as if he could already see the boundless battlefield of slaughter.

The Law Harmonizing Guardian·Qing Yin played with his jadeite short flute, the smile on his lips deepening, as if he could already hear the chaotic yet beautiful symphony played by countless factions.

Dragon Abyss Prefecture, deep within the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range, a vast Dragon roar sounded, carrying ancient unwillingness and a hint of solemnity.

Fengqi Prefecture, atop the tallest Wutong ancient tree, a stream of scarlet-gold flame shot into the sky, vaguely transforming into the phantom of a true phoenix, letting out a clear cry.

Xuan Huang Prefecture, Chaos Qi surged, and the phantom of an ancient stone hall flickered indistinctly in the mist.

Tianji Prefecture, countless divination symbols flashed and reformed in the air, deducing fortune and doom.

Jianzhong Prefecture, ten thousand swords sang in unison, and a sharp Sword Qi that cleaved the firmament lingered for a long time... These behemoths standing at the apex of the Eastern Domain were all watching. For a moment, undercurrents surged violently throughout the Eastern Domain, and numerous powerful and ancient auras intersected and probed each other in the Void. A massive storm set to sweep over the Eastern Domain's top powers was slowly taking shape above the alluring yet fatal vortex known as the Burial God Ancient Domain.

Godfall Di Clan.

A silent sense of urgency, suppressing fervent Battle Intent, permeated every corner.

"The Burial God Ancient Domain... an ancient battlefield..." Flames burned in Di Lingxiao's eyes, and the Indestructible Black Markings on his arm faintly glowed, "If I could fight and temper myself on such a battlefield, my Undying Battle Body could surely advance further!"

"Going now is sending ourselves to death." Di Wushang's voice was as calm as ice, his fingertips quickly sketching complex array patterns in the air, seemingly deducing something.

"The surrounding Evil Qi can now corrode Heaven-Reaching Realm Cultivators, and the Temporal Turbulence... is impossible to guard against. We are too weak right now." He mercilessly pointed out the cruel reality.

Di Qianjie, who was beside them, silently polished the Thousand Tribulations Sword, the cold blade reflecting his equally cold eyes.

The feeling of powerlessness he experienced when facing the Nether Spring Dharma King in the Netherworld Secret Realm flashed through his mind. That absolute despair brought by the crushing difference in Realm pierced him more profoundly than the dangers of the Burial God Ancient Domain.

The Thousand Tribulations Sword let out a faint hum, as if responding to the surging Sword Intent and unwillingness in its master's heart.

Become stronger! Only by becoming stronger! He needed greater speed and a sharper sword to sever all obstacles!

"starfall pagoda... Star God Art... I need stronger control." Di Xingyun murmured to himself, starlight swirling in his eyes. The Bottleneck of the Tenth Level of the Purple Mansion Realm had already loosened after the life-and-death battles in the Netherworld Secret Realm.
