The Great Wild God - Chapter 434

Chapter 434 Ghost

This was truly bottomless. Chen Xun spread out his divine sense and extended along the Great Rift Valley to the depths of 30,000 feet. Space began to distort violently.

At this time, Chen Xun’s divine sense seemed to be blocked by a layer of water waves, unable to extend another inch forward.

That was the entrance to the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield located deep within the Western Ancestral As an array eye of the Dragon Sealing Mountain River Array, the Coiling Dragon Altar made of copper floated above the rift valley. The Nine Dragons Cloud Soaring Banner shot out a ten thousand meter radiance, illuminating the early morning sky.

Jiang Mingtai wore a bright yellow robe and stood on the Coiling Dragon Altar. He threw streaks of profound light into the flag of the Nine Dragons Cloud Soaring Banner. The rusted five-clawed golden dragon seemed to have come to life. It spat out clouds and mist. It was shaped like a first-step staircase that stretched all the way to the edge of the cliff. It was as if the entrance to the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield would open at any moment.

The Great Rift Valley was more than 30,000 feet deep. The cliffs were wet and slippery, and there was no way to reach the bottom of the valley. Moreover, the space here was extremely distorted, making it extremely difficult for ordinary floating boats to enter. The best method was to use clouds and mist as a staircase. Everyone walked to the bottom step by step, waiting for the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield entrance to open.

Chen Xun held the halberd in his hand and stared at the Nine Dragons Soaring Cloud Banner on the Coiling Dragon Altar. Beixuan Armor, Golden Wolf, Chi Hai, and Shewuxin were all wearing battle armor. As retainers, they followed closely behind Chen Xun. Black Tea was also dressed in exquisite battle armor and mounted on the back of a tall Black Sly Horse.

Beside Chen Xun, led by Su Wuyang, were three hundred armored and sharp Divine Guards soldiers.

Chen Xun’s face was relaxed, but Su Wuyang’s heart was extremely stressed.

The three hundred armored and sharp soldiers behind him were all recruited from the Su clansmen who had joined him in the Jade Province, which could be said to be the last bit of wealth in his hands. If he ran out, he would be completely alone.

Apart from groups of extremely powerful armored soldiers, the three thousand disciples of Heaven Mending Pavilion had already gathered at the rift valley.

The Nine Thousand Armored Soldiers of the Divine Guard and Spirit Heaven armies were at a much higher level than the Azure Water Armored Soldiers.

Apart from Su Juntian and the other four commander-level generals, the commanders of the various battalions were all at the late Origin Core Realm or even above the peak of the late Origin Core Realm.

At the same time, they were accompanied by True Monarch Pinecrane and two peerless Celestial Realm experts from Lord Crimson Brow, who entered the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield to escort them.

Old Lord Crimson Brow’s face was as gloomy as water, and he hadn’t seen any change in his expression for a long time, as if he had suffered from facial paralysis.

Chen Xun was quite far from Lord Crimson Brow. He thought to himself, Lord Crimson Brow had just been transferred back to Xuanjing from the Northwest Region, and he was responsible for guarding the three thousand disciples of Heaven Mending Pavilion to enter the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield. He was probably extremely depressed.

Although the few people beside Lord Crimson Brow occasionally looked at him with hostile eyes, Chen Xun had a calm expression on his face.

Lord Crimson Brow only had the right to control the nine thousand soldiers of the Divine Guard and the Spirit Heavens Army. He had to bypass Su Junchen before he could control him. Chen Xun was not afraid that Lord Crimson Brow would have a chance to put on his shoes for a while.

*********************

Chen Xun and Su Wuyang led three hundred soldiers. The last batch of them entered the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield through the spatial rift. They discovered that they were standing in a circular mountain range. The horizon was covered with magnificent flowing flames, as if rivers of Heavenly Flames were upside down in the sky above the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield.

It was exceptionally hot. No wonder God-controller Mansion called this place the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield. It was as if a person had truly entered a large furnace.

A lot of people’s cultivation levels were slightly lower, standing there, they felt that they were about to be roasted, and the smell of their hands was suffused with a fragrance of meat.

The Ring Mountain Range was badly weathered, and the rocks were fragile. Not to mention the extremely heavy Black Sly Horses, the heavily armored soldiers would accidentally stomp a hole in the rocks.

The plateau to the north of the ring of mountains was filled with shocking cracks.

There were no rivers. The air was only flowing with a very thin amount of spiritual energy. The Spirit Gathering Array was completely useless here, and the terrain on this side probably didn’t need to count on finding many spiritual veins and spiritual acupoints.

How could the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth be so sparse? This environment was truly terrible.

Chen Xun raised his head and looked at the magnificent streaks of flowing flames. He felt that unless he could attract the Heavenly Flame flowing flames, he would only be able to rely on medicinal pills to support his magic power in a fierce battle with the enemy. This consumption would be terrifying.

In the distant clouds, there was a faint flash of purple lightning, indicating that the space there was extremely unstable. Occasionally, there would be extremely hostile roars, like thunder rolling down from the depths of the heavens and earth, shaking people’s hearts.

In the northern part of the ring of mountains, on that extremely vast plateau, the soldiers who had entered the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield had already continued to advance northward.

Tens of thousands of ghosts emerged from the cracks in the ground, holding heavy spears and giant sickles in their hands. They were like a raging flood, rushing towards the array of armored soldiers from all directions.

Most of them had just witnessed this scene. Although they hadn’t entered the battlefield yet, many of them had already turned pale. They hadn’t expected the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield to look like this, like a purgatory in the mortal world.

There were also some experienced martial artists who had entered the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield before. They were whispering to comfort the frightened recruits,

“These ghosts are the remnants of the ancient Fiendgods. They look very frightening, but they are not very powerful like primordial spirits that have lost their physical bodies. Whoever wants to cultivate the puppet technique, as long as they can withstand the backlash of the remnants of the ancient Fiendgods, refining their Soul Essence Battle Souls with these ghosts will be much more convenient than capturing the beast souls in the wilderness.”

No matter how low the voice of the pawn was, it was hidden from Chen Xun’s ears. Su Wuyang also subconsciously glanced at Chen Xun.

Almost everyone in the Northwest knew that Chen Xun was an expert in refining puppet souls. The endless ghosts that surged in from all directions could provide him with endless materials to refine soul essence battle souls.

Chen Xun looked thoughtfully at the endless ghosts outside the ring of mountains. If the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield had truly been the battlefield of ancient gods and devils, the ghosts formed from the remnants of the gods and devils should be endless. However, after billions of years of evolution, there was no more powerful existence in the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield than these ghosts. The information God-controller Mansion had provided them was truly too limited.

Hearing the old soldier’s words, the expressions of the recruits relaxed. They began to discuss the magical creatures mentioned in God-controller Mansion’s decentralized information, as well as the spells and tactics to restrain them.

Chen Xun had long since familiarized himself with God-controller Mansion’s information. At this moment, his eyebrows furrowed slightly as he extended his divine sense in all directions. He could feel that Lord Crimson Brow and True Monarch Pinecrane were also like him, extending their divine senses and digging into the heavens, not wanting to miss out on any tiny parts of the Ring Mountain Range.

Lord Crimson Brow and True Monarch Pinecrane were both Celestial Realm experts, and their divine senses could sense weak auras thousands of kilometers away, ten times as far as Chen Xun’s.

After a long time, True Monarch Lord Crimson Brow and True Monarch Pinecrane simultaneously withdrew their divine senses. They looked at each other and confirmed that there were no abnormalities in their respective search areas.

Chen Xun’s brows furrowed in puzzlement. One had to know that the Thousand Devil Realm Devil Ruins were as powerful as the remains of the Devil Dragon. In fact, they were all formed from the remnants of the soul and body of the Chaos Giant Devil after its death. If this was truly an ancient battlefield abandoned by the God Devil, as long as there was a God Devil body left behind, it might be giving birth to a new God Devil.

Looking at the solemn expressions of Lord Crimson Brow, True Monarch Pinecrane, Jiang Mingtai, and the others when they parted at the Western Ancestral Dragon Mountain, Chen Xunhui suspected that the purpose of their trip was very likely to be to enter the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield to search for new Xiantian Fiendgods.

The first-rate sects raised spirit beasts, and the Jiang clan, as an ancient royal clan, had to raise a few Xiantian Fiendgods to be impressive.

Of course, the treasures left behind by the ancient Fiendgods on the ancient battlefield should also be the focus of this trip.

Just north of the ring of mountains, on the edge of the northern plateau, there was an ancient castle.

While Chen Xun was speculating on God-controller Mansion’s purpose this time, the vanguard soldiers who had recently entered the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield were already close to approaching the ancient castle.

The ancient castle was built by the Jiang family when they entered the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield in the past. Every time they entered the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield in the future, they would have to reoccupy the ancient castle. It was used as a spatial passageway and a base for advancing towards the northern plateau. Underneath the ancient castle, there were also extremely rare spiritual veins and water sources of the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield.

In the past, God-controller Mansion had also built many sentinel forts in several directions towards the northern plateau, serving as sub-bases for advancing layer by layer and interlocking with each other.

According to the established plan, Chen Xun and Su Wuyang would also lead the three hundred soldiers behind them into a sentry fort in the border area, so that they could support the disciples of the Heaven Mending Pavilion who were cultivating nearby at any time.

Right now, the ancient castle at the foot of the Ring Mountain Range had yet to be seized from the endless ghosts. The last batch of soldiers Chen Xun and the other three thousand disciples of the Heavenly Furnace Battlefield and Heaven Mending Pavilion had temporarily stopped on the Ring Mountain Range and remained motionless.
