Chapter 1065 - The Attraction of the Ancient Battlefield

When the ancient battlefield appeared, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect—dormant for millennia to recuperate its lost strength—also took the opportunity to reappear in the world, shaking the Tianwu Continent to its core. Their return was especially shocking when they revealed four Void Immortal Supremes overseeing them, leaving countless people in awe.

It was no wonder that the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect was the only existence that could compete against the Nebulous Divine Palace back then. Although it had fallen apart in that huge battle, their resurgence sent waves across the continent.

With four Void Immortal Supremes overseeing them, what force could stand against them?

Even the True Martial Academy, which was the number one overlord class force on the surface, couldn’t compete against them.

Zhang Daoling had defeated two Void Immortal Supremes and was close to taking that final step, with the strength to fight one against two or even against three. However, that was only relative to those at Beishan Ling or Ji Huang’s level.

The Blood Heavenly Demon Sect had two ancient Void Immortals who had survived since antiquity. Even if they fell short of Zhang Daoling, they would still surpass the likes of Beishan Ling and Ji Huang. Could Zhang Daoling withstand both at once?

Countless people had doubts about that.

Those two were already Supremes at the Void Immortal level three thousand years ago. After lying dormant for three thousand years, could they really have stagnated after all this time?

As for the Void Immortal Supremes of the current nine overlord class forces, they had all broken through in the past three thousand years. None could compare to the two ancient ones, except Zhang Daoling.

Realizing this, countless people, including the nine overlord-class forces were shocked by the strength of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect.

As a former rival to the Nebulous Divine Palace, it proved that even a dying camel is still larger than a horse.

The reappearance of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect had caused the various forces to become extremely apprehensive, but they were not afraid either.

The situation was different from before.

The master of the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect of the past, the Blood Demon, could easily kill Void Immortals. It was said that they were like the Nebulous Divine Palace’s master, having surpassed the boundaries of a Void Immortal, and were a genuine immortal.

A genuine immortal could dominate the entire Tianwu Continent and force everyone into submission.

However, history had already seen the mutual destruction of these two legendary figures. This indisputable fact tempered the fear surrounding the sect’s return.

Therefore, although the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect had reappeared in the world, the nine overlord class forces were not too afraid.

If the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect were to repeat what had happened, the nine overlord class forces weren’t weak either. If they posed a real threat, an alliance wouldn’t be out of the question.

For now, however, they hesitated—not out of weakness, but because provoking the sect might drive them to a reckless, all-out war, disregarding everything and choosing mutual destruction.

That way, even if they could completely wipe out the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, several overlord factions would become history.

Naturally, none of the nine overlord class forces wanted to become history, so they decided not to ally now.

If the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect ever did something to threaten them, joining forces would be inevitable, and they would absolutely be united.

To guard against a surprise attack from the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect, the nine overlord class forces had set up transmission arrays with one another. Any disturbance would instantly alert the others, ensuring swift reinforcements.

Naturally, the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect understood this as well. It wasn’t as strong as it was, so it couldn’t sweep through the nine overlord-class forces alone.

Thus, instead of provoking conflicts, challenging superpowers, or targeting great cults, they focused on the ancient battlefield, dispatching a formidable team to search for treasures.

Though their return initially shook the entire Tianwu Continent, the excitement quickly faded, eclipsed by astonishing news from the ancient battlefield.

News came from the ancient battlefield, saying that someone had inherited the legacy of an invincible legendary realm expert, soaring to greatness overnight.

Another had obtained a Grade-9 treasure, sweeping through the area unrivaled.

As wave after wave of thrilling news captivated the continent, nearly no one talked about the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect.

All eyes turned back to the ancient battlefield.

Now, everyone felt sure that the ancient battlefield was indeed where the Nebulous Divine Palace and the Blood Heavenly Demon Sect’s numerous experts had battled back then.

Even many Void Immortal Supremes had died here.

Beyond the treasures and legacies left behind, even the spiritual herbs—nourished for three thousand years by the blood of fallen powerhouses—were enough to drive people mad.

The blood of Legendary realm apex experts held immense energy, let alone that of Void Immortal Supremes.

Even ordinary grass and flowers, having absorbed such power, had transformed into rare, precious medicine.

Apart from Legendary and Void Immortal level powerhouses, Manifestation and Heavenly Star realm experts had perished in droves here.

Their spilled blood, rich in energy, had also turned ordinary plants into high-grade spiritual herbs. The entire battlefield was an unparalleled treasure trove.

When the public heard the news of people obtaining opportunities and treasures, the allure of the battlefield grew, drawing more seekers in pursuit of riches and power.

However, the ancient battlefield was not without danger.

After all, countless powerhouses and experts had fought and died here. Even though three thousand years have passed, areas of intense combat still radiated lingering, deadly energy—some even fluctuated with the power of law.

Many, blinded by greed, trespassed into these zones and perished instantly. There were even Legendary realm experts who perished like this.

Worse still, the battlefield’s long history of bloodshed had given rise to sinister monsters. The lingering resentment of countless fallen warriors had coalesced into terrifying monsters, like frightened corpses, resentful corpses, jiangshi, and more.

While they weren’t as strong as when they were alive, they were still far from weak. Many people were attacked by these monsters, resulting in heavy casualties.

However, such news didn’t make the people retreat in fear, as even more people had found treasures, obtained legacies, or raised their cultivation. This roused the greed of those watching from the sidelines, drawing them into coming in to search for treasures.

After all, no pain, no gain.

If one did not enter the ancient battlefield and only watched, they wouldn’t obtain the treasures. After all, one couldn’t learn to swim by just sitting on the shore.

Moreover, more people obtained treasures than those who met with tragic fates. There was simply no need to think about which choice to make.
