The Way of the Heavens

Mu Yuan stood on a mountain with cliffs on all sides. Gusts of wind roared past, but when it hit Mu Yuan's side, it instantly turned into a gentle breeze caressing his face, blowing the moon-white clothes he was wearing slightly. .

Light clouds and mist float around the mountain peak, half-obscuring the appearance of the mountain. From a distance, this place looks like a fairyland on earth.

In sharp contrast, an extremely brutal war was taking place in the wasteland a hundred miles away, with a total of 16.7 million soldiers from the two armies fighting each other.

The wasteland in front of Tianmen Pass is like a meat grinder, killing lives wantonly. One after another, living people are turned into cold and mutilated corpses and buried forever on the battlefield.

Behind Mu Yuan, a woman with a charming temperament and a hot figure was half-kneeling beside a newly formed stone table, brewing spiritual tea with her eyes focused.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a cup of spiritual tea containing rich spiritual energy and fragrance was completed in her hands. If a Body Tempering Realm warrior drank this cup of spiritual tea, it would be enough to save several days of hard work.

Shangguan Wan'er stood up and stood behind Mu Yuan, saying respectfully: "Master, the tea is ready."

Mu Yuan nodded slightly, took a step forward, and his figure appeared on the stone table in an instant. He picked up the spirit tea on the table and took a sip, and said calmly: "What is the situation in Xuanyu now?"

Shangguan Wan'er replied: "I will soon open the ruins of the ancient battlefield. After the news that it contains the inheritance of the ancient strong people spread in the remaining seven regions of the Zhenwu Continent, the top forces in the seven regions have sent strong men here..."

One year has passed since the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty transmitted the information about Zhenwu World back to the Yuanjie deity.

During this year, Shangguan Wan'er used the confidants she had cultivated in Tianji Tower for many years to inform the top forces in the other seven domains about the ruins of the ancient battlefield, and emphasized that there might be inheritance left by ancient powerful men in the ruins.

As Mu Yuan expected, for the possible existence of ancient ruins, the top forces in the seven regions sent some powerful people to Xuanyu to find out whether the news was true. After all, a divine object fell from the sky when he was born with a vision before, and it was suspected to be dropped. Falling in the mysterious realm.

By consuming a large amount of resources to open several inscription teleportation arrays left over from ancient times, the top powerhouses quickly descended on the Xuan Realm.

They also knew that during these days, all the major forces in the Mysterious Territory were looking for the "key" to open the ruins of the ancient battlefield - the rectangular stone slab. The entire Mysterious Territory was plunged into a bloody storm, and countless forces were wiped out.

After some forces secretly seized a rectangular stone slab, they saw images of ancient battlefields and an ancient atmosphere contained in the stone slab. The stone slab even vaguely guided the holder to a certain place to live.

The strong men of these forces immediately realized that the news from Shangguan Wan'er was true, and they contacted the sect through various means and asked it to send more and stronger strong men.

The forces that had not obtained the stone slab discovered their movements, and not to be outdone, notified the sect forces to send strong men.

With the arrival of powerful top forces from the other seven regions, the situation in Xuanyu becomes more complicated, and many local forces in Xuanyu have a sense of urgency that a storm is coming.

The rectangular stone slab is rumored to be the key to unlocking the ruins of the ancient battlefield. It is also said that after entering the ruins, one can obtain the inheritance of the ancient powerful through the stone slab. The top forces in the seven regions began to join in the fight for the stone slab.

In addition to creating twenty-one rectangular stone slabs that grow with the source-devouring vine, Mu Yuan also created fifteen other rectangular stone slabs scattered throughout the Xuanyu, for a total of thirty-six stone slabs.

These thirty-six stone slabs were too few compared to the forces that wanted to compete for the "key", so the crisis came for those top and first-class forces in Xuanyu who had obtained the rectangular stone slabs.

Many forces that secretly obtained the rectangular stone slabs may have powerful men at the peak of Yuantai come and directly seize the stone slabs, or they may be directly destroyed.

For example, the Crimson Blood Sect, which was once one of the six top forces in Xuanyu, was directly destroyed by the strong men of Eternal Shura Holy Land because it refused to hand over the rectangular stone slab. The once prosperous sect was reduced to ruins, with only a few disciples surviving. come down

The destruction of the Scarlet Blood Sect immediately shocked the entire Xuanyu. Countless forces were in danger. Those who obtained the rectangular stone slabs donated them one after another and did not dare to hide them privately. The remaining five top forces formed an alliance to prevent themselves from being destroyed by the other seven. Domain forces are wiped out.

So the thirty-six rectangular stone slabs were divided up by the top forces in the eight regions of the Zhenwu Continent, either one, or two or three, just waiting for the remains of the ancient battlefield to be revealed...

"Six Holy Lands, Holy Land of Shura..." Mu Yuan tapped the stone table with his slender fingers on his right hand, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, as if thinking.

Then Mu Yuan chuckled, drank all the spiritual tea in his hand, stood up and looked at the tragic battlefield a hundred miles away, and a word drifted away in the wind.

"Since you are looking forward to the opening of the ancient battlefield ruins, then as you wish."

After hearing these words, Shangguan Wan'er's face, standing behind her, became more respectful, and her charming eyes were filled with admiration.

…

Outside Tianmen Pass, the sun is about to set, the smell of blood is rising in the wasteland, and broken limbs can be seen everywhere, which is shocking.

After several hours of fighting, both the Sirius army and the Tang army had already lost their nerves and fell into instinctive crazy killing. They repeatedly raised their swords and spears to slash and stab at the enemy.

Nearly two million troops fought in this wasteland. Corpses covered dozens of miles in radius, blood dyed the ground red, and broken blades and arrows were stuck in the soil everywhere. In this battle, three hundred thousand soldiers were wrapped in horse leather and buried on the battlefield.

Even the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty, the Yanyun Iron Cavalry, had less than 2,000 people after this battle, which shows how fierce this battle was!

Just as the Yanyun Iron Cavalry was about to charge at the Tianlang Iron Cavalry again, the war drums suddenly sounded in the Tang Dynasty camp in front of Tianmen Pass, ordering the Tang army to withdraw from the battlefield.

Although the remaining Yanyun Iron Cavalry were unwilling to retreat, they had to turn around and return to the camp because the military order was as strong as a mountain.

On the temporary high platform in the Tianlang camp, the commander of the Tianlang Kingdom saw this scene, looked up at the setting sun, and his face was calm. He also ordered the war drums to be sounded, and the army retreated and returned to the camp.

"Send an order, light a fire to cook, reward the soldiers, and send people to strengthen the vigilance tonight to prevent the Tang army from attacking the camp at night!"

The two armies retreated to their respective tents like a tide, leaving a field of corpses and blood. After a day of fighting, the soldiers on both sides were already exhausted.

Afterwards, the two armies tacitly sent some soldiers to bury their dead soldiers on the spot. If they encountered a soldier who was still breathing, they would kill him with a knife if he was from the enemy army, and then leave him to the enemy army to bury him;

If he was from their own army, they would see whether to carry him back to the tent for treatment or help him get rid of his pain according to the situation.

What the Tang Dynasty and Tianlang Kingdom and others did not know was that the energy contained in the bodies of the soldiers who died in this battle continued to flow into the earth and was swallowed up by some existence, even their souls.

The sun set in the west, the moon rose, and night fell. On the wasteland outside Tianmen Pass, the tents of the two armies were brightly lit, and patrolling soldiers were on guard one after another, guarding against the enemy's night attack.

At this time, strange changes were taking place on the cruel and tragic battlefield during the day...
