I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 200: Uncompleted Battle From Primordial Age

Chapter 200: Uncompleted Battle From Primordial Age

The Divine Firmament Flying Vessel descended. This time all sects entering the Primordial Battlefield trial had arrived.

Two gorgeous female Heavenly Venerables and 18 powerful Supremacies gradually appeared in the air. They exuded powerful auras and radiated bright l.u.s.ter, veiling their true appearance.

This was a special Dharma technique—Divine Light.

Its function was to purely create a mysterious vibe for cultivators and portray a high-end image.

This Dharma technique may not be practical, but it could make one look grand.

Many Supremacies had learned such a Dharma technique. Since their appearance was not enough, they used Dharma techniques to help!

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance looked at Xiao Ling’er and Shen Tian, her eyes betraying a shred of relief.

She gradually spoke. “The Primordial Battlefield trial that occurs once in every five years has arrived once again. I believe everyone’s seniors have already briefed you on things to take note of on the battlefield, so I will not repeat what you know. Anyway, everyone needs to remember this—dangers are hidden everywhere in the Primordial Battlefield, safety is first!”

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus nodded. “What Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance said is true. Everyone has the ‘teleportation jade talisman’ that your respective sects have made. If you are to be injured seriously and lose the ability to continue, you will just need to pour in Dharmic powers, and you will be teleported out.

“However, you must remember two things.

“Firstly, if you activate the teleportation jade talisman, it will mean you have forfeited from this trial, and you won’t be able to enter again.

“Secondly, when activating the teleportation jade talisman to return, you need to stand on the spot for three seconds. If you encounter any dangers, you must remember to find a safe place before returning!”

Heavenly Venerable Scarlet Dance added, “Convention dictates that there should be a reward system for this trial too.

“Be it killing monsters like Skeletons, Bone Demons, or Blood Demons in the Primordial Battlefield, or finding spirit herbs and treasures in the Primordial Battlefield, you can bring them and exchange them with your sects.

“Also, the top 20 disciples that kill the most monsters will obtain rewards that the various major sacred grounds, grotto-heavens, and blessed-lands have prepared.”

Upon saying that, a treasure box, exuding spirit light, appeared before everyone.

All the major sacred grounds’, grotto-heavens’, and blessed-lands’ marks were carved in sequence on the box.

Heavenly Venerable White Lotus presented the rewards in the treasure box one by one.

“The top contestant of this trial will obtain the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s supreme-grade Spirit artifact, Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer!”

“The second place will obtain the Jade Lake Sacred Ground’s superior-grade Spirit artifact, Black Spirit Bead.”

“The third place will obtain the Crimson Dawn Grotto-Heaven’s inferior-grade Spirit artifact, Red Amber Handkerchief.”

“The fourth place will have the chance to head to the Grand White Grotto-Heaven and learn Sword Dao from Heavenly Venerable Long River for three months!”

...

As Heavenly Venerable White Lotus presented the rewards, the disciples were instantly thrilled.

One had to know that for the previous Primordial Battlefield trials, both major sacred grounds would normally give middle-grade Spirit artifacts as rewards.

Who would have thought that in this trial, not only had Jade Lake provided the superior-grade Black Spirit Bead for the first time, but Divine Firmament had even provided a supreme-grade Spirit artifact!

One had to know that a supreme-grade Spirit artifact was something that was infinitely close to Divine artifacts. There were even many supreme-grade Spirit artifacts that did not lose to normal-grade Divine artifacts in value. The only difference was that Divine artifacts contained the Sage-level energy of Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.

Meanwhile, as for the materials used to craft the artifact, in terms of the power it displayed in the hands of disciples with a low cultivation level, supreme-grade Spirit artifacts were not weaker than normal Divine artifacts. It was even to the point that to cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, supreme-grade Spirit artifacts might even be stronger!

The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was actually willing to provide a supreme-grade Spirit artifact as a reward in this Foundation Establishment trial. It was evident how important they viewed this Primordial Battlefield trial.

In an instant, many geniuses from grotto-heavens and blessed-lands were full of enthusiasm. They wanted to obtain this Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer. Once they obtained it, their strength would experience a drastic increase!

However, when they looked at Shen Tian, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured onto them, extinguis.h.i.+ng their enthusiasm.

Fighting for first place with this fellow? How was it possible?

At that moment, the grotto-heavens’ and blessed-lands’ geniuses seemed to have suddenly understood the sacred ground’s scheme!

It was obvious that Divine Firmament was a.s.sured that Shen Tian would obtain first place. After all, only if Shen Tian obtained first place would they get back the Purple Firmament Heaven Hammer!

Shen Tian obtaining the reward was just the same as returning it to Divine Firmament—they would suffer no loss.

It was just a gimmick!

“Looks like this Divine Firmament Saint’s strength cannot be underestimated!”

“The Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is so daring. They actually directly used a supreme-grade as their reward.”

“They’re too arrogant! Aren’t they afraid that something might go wrong?”

“Something might go wrong? Are you kidding!? Just from what he showed us earlier, how could we fight with him?”

“I give up, give up! Competing for first place against the Divine Firmament Saint? Let’s just fight for the second Black Spirit Bead!”

“The third Red Amber Handkerchief is quite good too. I heard it could control the Bing Fire Essence. Although its power cannot be compared to exceptional fires, it’s quite fearsome!”

“Why is no one gunning for fourth? I heard that Sword Venerable Long River, Li Canglan, is the ‘best swordsman below Sage’?”

...

Before the trial even began, almost all the disciples had given up on fighting for the first place.

There was no other way. Shen Tian’s grand entrance and appearance were so impressive that it just made everyone feel like submitting.

All of them were just Foundation Establishment cultivators, but his appearance was even more high-profile and cooler than Nascent Soul cultivators. How could they compare with him!?

Since he had peerless looks, he had to endure everyone’s pursuit and praises. It was lonely at the top. That was the pressure a handsome-looking man must endure!

Now that the trial was about to begin, Shen Tian also started to search for his teammates at full speed.

The Primordial Battlefield’s situation was special. It was filled with all kinds of Yin Spirit beings, remnants of the battle back in the Primordial Age, and they were extremely sensitive to Yang creatures—living beings.

Thus, once a team had too many people, it would easily attract numerous Yin Spirits, which in turn would surround them, and even the more powerful Yin Demons would appear.

The Primordial Battlefield was not all filled with voids and turmoils, and it did indeed restrict the cultivator’s strength.

However, the strange demonic creatures, which had been bred through the combination of the ancient powerful beings’ corpses and the evil spirits, were not affected at all.

The Primordial Battlefield did not lack fearsome existences like Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or even Soul Formation beings.

Due to the influence of the laws in the Primordial Battlefield, the desire to kill and bloodl.u.s.t completely controlled these demonic creatures. They would slaughter and devour each other continuously.

Although such demonic beings’ intelligence was extremely low, their battle prowess was something that human Foundation Establishment cultivators could never rival.

To those demonic creatures, groups of human cultivators were definitely extremely delicious food. If 100 Foundation Establishment cultivators were to really travel together, their Yang aura would shoot through the roof, and in less than half a day, they would be wiped out.

Every five years, the frightening Nascent Soul, and above, beings would disappear from the Primordial Battlefield’s outer perimeter. Thus, it was the best chance for cultivation sects to send disciples to train during that period.

Foundation Establishment cultivators could form teams to enter the Primordial Battlefield.

It was worth mentioning that plenty of Perfected Immortals that had descended to this world had died during that shocking war 10,000 years ago.

As for cultivators below the Sage stage, they could only be counted as cannon fodder in that battle and had easily been wiped out.

Meanwhile, their blood, seven spirits, and three souls were then scattered onto the battlefield and absorbed by the battlefield.

After 10,000 years, all kinds of enormous but disorderly energy gathered, thus forming countless different types of demonic creatures, like Blood Demons, Bone Demons, and Evil Demons, in the Primordial Battlefield.

At the same time, there were also various precious spirit herbs and peerless treasures that were extremely difficult to find in the outside world.

The “Dragon Blood Gra.s.s” that could only grow by using a pure Blood Dragon’s blood to water it, “Sword Heart Fruit” bred by sword intents of countless supreme Sword Dao cultivators after they died, extremely rare treasures left by Perfected Immortals after they were killed, as well as those “Divine artifacts”, “Divine Fruit”, “astonis.h.i.+ng inheritances” that had converted to Spirit Ores and buried underground were such example!

One could say that the Primordial Battlefield was definitely Eastern Wilderness’ most dangerous forbidden land.

However, at the same time, it was also a land with the most treasures in the entire Eastern Wilderness.

Lian’er’s Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash and Zhang Yunxi’s Divine Firmament Drager Pendant were all obtained from a Primordial Battlefield’s outer perimeter!

According to rumors, a supreme Immortal artifact had appeared in the Primordial Battlefield near Country of Fire!

That was an invincible artifact, which had bred an Artifact Spirit by itself, something that even sacred grounds coveted.

It was a pity that this Immortal artifact had yet to be obtained by anyone.

It was hidden within this Primordial Battlefield, and its location could change anytime, awaiting its fated person.

Only after obtaining the recognition of the Artifact Spirit could one truly obtain control over the Immortal artifact.

It was a pity that although the number of people who had encountered the Immortal artifact was not in the few, the Immortal artifact had not recognized any of them as its master.

This was widely recognized as the biggest fortuitous opportunity of the whole Primordial Battlefield!

...

The teleportation circle for the Primordial Battlefield’s outer perimeter had already been prepared.

Shen Tian’s eyes widened as he tried to find those geniuses with fortuitous opportunities on top of their heads.

However, the people in the surroundings were just too many, and they were walking around. It was simply challenging to see clearly.

Li Lian’er, Xiao Ling, Qin Yundi, Eunuch Gui, Qin Gao, Shen Ao, and others had already gathered around Shen Tian.

After calculating roughly, Shen Tian’s team members had already exceeded 10 people.

According to the things to take note of on the battlefield, it was already at full capacity.

Seeing those youngsters with fortuitous opportunities on their heads walk past him, Shen Tian felt like he was suffering a big loss—they were all possible gains he might obtain!

However, after turning to see the fortuitous opportunity scene on top of Zhao Hao’s head, Shen Tian could not help but feel better.

When it came to things such as a fortuitous opportunity, quant.i.ty was never the answer—quality was forever more important than quant.i.ty.

Shen Tian was extremely relieved as Zhao Hao did not disappoint him!

His fortuitous opportunity was quite awesome.

No wonder he was an existence that could cause his Master’s death!

...

Everyone walked side by side and slowly entered the teleportation circle.

As the array formation was activated, everyone felt that the s.p.a.ce and light in front of them were distorted. When their line of sight returned to normal, they discovered they were already on a vast battlefield.

This was a barren land that was incomparably dead. The sky was dark red, the ground was dark red, and even the sun was dark red. It was as if everything on the battlefield was dyed in the color of blood.

There were no flowers or weeds on this battlefield, not a bit of greenery could be seen in a 1,000-mile radius.

It seemed like normal plants were unable to endure the fearsome aura of evil spirits and blood.

They could smell a faint smell of blood in the air.

They could also vaguely hear screaming and fighting sounds, as if it was from 10,000 years ago, magnificent and shocking.

Shen Tian and the others had appeared on a barren mountain. As they looked down, they could vaguely see figures fighting below.

Maybe those could not be called figures as when everyone looked clearly, they realized that those were not normal humans.

Those were skeletons. There was not a bit of flesh left on them, and the bones were exposed, s.h.i.+ning coldly under the blood sun.

They were wearing armors of the Primordial Age. These armors might have been tough, extraordinary, and indestructible in the past, but as time pa.s.sed, the Spirit Qi within them was lost, and they had long become rags.

Those skeletons were now wearing those armors and holding broken weapons to fight.

Their battle styles were extremely simple and savage. There was no use of Dharmic powers at all, just the simplest swinging of weapons to attack each other.

However, from their clas.h.i.+ng swords’ loud and vigorous sounds, it was evident that these skeletons’ battle prowess was not weak.

The strength of each skeleton could be compared to normal Foundation Establishment cultivators. It was obvious they were heroic souls from the Primordial Age!

Due to certain unknown reasons, they were resurrected from their burial ground. Their fighting spirit was lit once again to continue the battle they had yet to complete in their previous life!

When looking at those skeletons, Shen Tian was slightly moved. It was as if his blood was boiling.

Is this the Primordial Battlefield? Even after 10,000 years, there’s still such a scene!

It’s unimaginable just what had happened 10,000 years ago!
