Chapter 628 - Brutal Game
It was the first time Tianming came to the Abyssal Battlefield in the nine divine realms. He felt that the Abyssal Battlefield here was very different. First was the skyit wasnt just the thunder spirit hazard, but there were storm, flame, ice, and thunder spirit hazards. The weaker ones had ordinary tribulation patterns, while the stronger ones had dozens of them.
Although these spirit hazards were incomparable to the ones in the Heaven Cauldron, they were present in much higher quantities. Not only the sky, but spirit hazards would erupt from the ground as well.
The Heaven Cauldrons spirit hazards were collected from the Abyssal Battlefield, and there were many spirit ores here, even some with tribulation patterns. They were the main materials to forge artifacts.
Spirit hazards, spirit herbs, and spirit ores were crucial cultivation resources. Divine realms would fight for those resources, and the best spirit hazards were collected in the Heaven Cauldron. The countless spirit hazards here did look majestic, but they were useless to Tianming.
Lets bring some back to the Decimo Dao Palace if I can return in the future. The spirit hazards here are simply too much. He still remembered the lightning spirit hazard Meow Meow had absorbed when it was born was only at the level of red heavenly patterns at best.
But Tianmings attention was elsewhere: the Deepstar Formation. The Deepstar Formation looked like an artificial star, making it look like there was a starry sky above your head when you entered. From the outside, it looked like a spherical astral object that looked boundless.
I heard that the Deepstar Formation is twenty times the size of Taiji Peak Lake! Furthermore, this is a genuine battlefield, not an illusory domain. The Illusory Battlefield back in the Human Branch was only ten times as big as Taiji Peak Lake.
This meant that the twenty thousand participants have a lot of room to move about. Aside from the last three days, the rest of the time would be for tracking and hunting. They could even use spirit hazards and demon beasts to set up traps.
Its also a win if I make use of demon beasts to defeat them before making the last hit. This way, even weaker disciples can defeat the stronger ones! There were too many possibilities in this battle.
Tianming was standing among the twenty thousand people with Fang Xingying beside him. There were people all around them, and none of them exceeded the age of twenty. Standing before the formation was a group of masters. There were roughly two hundred of them, and they belonged to Deepstar Hall.
Deepstar Hall managed the Old Deepstar Path, and they were the host of this game. It was said that they had a tribulation artifact, the Star Hooking Rod. It could stretch a long distance and bring out eliminated disciples.
The Deepstar Halls palace lord, Yi Xingyin, is actually here himself! Fang Xingying exclaimed, and Tianming followed his gaze and saw a middle-aged man wearing an astral robe. He had fair skin that seemed like the stars. He even seemed to have become one with the Deepstar Formation behind him.
Deepstar Halls palace lord was the best tribulation patternscribe in the Archaion Sect. The Archaion Sect has two threesource tribulation patternscribes, and hes one of them, said Fang Xingying.
Tribulation patternscribe? Theyre stronger than patternscribes? Tianming asked.
Youre really ignorant.
Cut the crap.
Tribulation patternscribes are above patternscribes, and theyre graded from onesource to threesource. Threesource tribulation patternscribes are the strongest in the Flameyellow continent! The tribulation formations created by them far exceed heavenly formations created by patternscribes. Theyre entities who can manipulate a tribulation patterns power, Fang Xingying said in a revered tone.
Tianming couldnt help taking another glance at Yi Xingyin when he heard what Fang Xingying said.
The Archaion Sect has nine divine halls. The Godservant Hall and Deepstar Hall are two of them. The nine palace lords positions are only second to the three sect masters, and theyre even higher than Tribulation Peaks tribulation elders, Fang Xingying continued.
Is Sourceglow Hall one of them?
Yeah. Sourceglow Hall manages the Earth and Heaven Branch disciples recruitment and structure. Theyre ranked the last of the nine divine halls. Youve seen palace lord Gou Yuqiu, and you didnt know that? Fang Xingying said with disdain.
Whats the Godservant Halls ranking?
First.
Tianming now knew why Fang Qingli was so aloof. Tianming now understood most of the Archaion Sects structure. There were three sect masters, nine hall palace lords, tribulation elders, and the Archaion Armys nine divine marshals.
At that moment, Yi Xingyin was handing out the Astral Formations to disciples. Just from his surname alone, everyone could tell that he was like Ouyang Jianwang; he wasnt someone from the three clans.
Yi Xingyin was fusing Astral Formations into the disciples bodies and telling them to enter the Deepstar Formation.
If youre severely injured, the Astral Formation will go into a protection state and protect the owner from all attacks? Tianming asked.
No. empyrean saints wont be able to do anything to the Astral Formation in protection state. But Samsara stage disciples can break through the formation and kill.
Tianming was taken aback by that. He asked, You mean Heaven Branch disciples can kill people?
Yes, as long as theyre faster than the seniors in the Deepstar Hall.
Why is that?
Thats to distinguish ranks and privileges to inspire Earth Branch disciples to reach Samsara stage and become a Heaven Branch disciple. Whats the matter? You think its cruel? Fang Xingying asked.
The winner is king, and they can control the life and death of others. Its not cruelty, but reality, said Tianming.
Twenty thousand disciples were waiting in line. Suddenly, someone called out, The Heaven Branch disciples are here!
Tianming turned to see over a hundred youths rushing over under the leadership of Human Branchs sect master, Fang Taiqing. With Fang Taiqing leading the way, their aura was even more ferocious. Wherever they went, Earth Branch disciples would give way and let them cut the queue.
Xingyin, Ill leave these children to you, said Fang Taiqing. The Heaven Branch disciples under his management might be few in number, but they were the sects elites.
Please be reassured, sect master, Yi Xingyin replied in an amicable voice.
Alright then. Fang Taiqing turned around. Perform well. Dont embarrass the Heaven Branch.
Yes, sect master! everyone said confidently.
Fang Taiqing then glanced at the rainbow-haired boy in the crowd, who was forced to lower his head from his stern gaze. After he finished speaking, Fang Taiqing quickly left. Yi Xingyin said nothing when the Heaven Branch disciples cut the queue since it didnt affect anything. He then continued fusing Astral Formations into the disciples. Among the crowd, Tianming saw Xuanyuan Muxue. She wore a white dress and a light blue cloak. After she obtained her Astral Formation, she stepped into the Deepstar Formation without a word.
Xuanyuan Muxue is one of the youngest disciples in the Heaven Branch. Shes only a few months older than Xingque, and she has a high status in the Archaic House of Xuanyuan. Shes a genius to be nurtured, the same as Xuanyuan Yuheng, Fang Xingying said while enviously looking at the Heaven Branch disciples.
Is Xuanyuan Yuheng overaged? Why isnt he here? Tianming searched the crowd and failed to find Xuanyuan Yuheng.
He has already been to the Deepstar Pool and formed an Ancient Deepstar Godbody, said Fang Xingying. The Ancient Deepstar Godbody was only a cultivation technique, the strength depends on the amount of astralsources absorbed.
Isnt the Deepstar Battle only held once a decade? He won when he was ten? Tianming sounded his doubt.
Of course not. Its because he performed well in the Archaionfiend Trial and obtained the qualification to enter the Deepstar Pool, said Fang Xingying.
Archaionfiend Trial? Is it related to the Archaionfiend Eye?
Thats right.
Whats it about?
No idea. Anyhow, its something that only those from the Archaic House of Xuanyuans Trioptic True Dragon Branch can join. Its related to their third eye, and its located in the Heaven Sacred Mountain, said Fang Xingying.
Tianmings eyes lit up when he heard that. He made up his mind to find out more about the Archaionfiend Trial. Who knew, it might be his opportunity to obtain the Archaionfiend Eye. Everyone from the Trioptic True Dragon Branch had three eyes, and so did he!
Disciples of the Sterling House of Fang, gather around me! Fang Xingque yelled. At least four hundred people stood out from the Earth Branch. In addition to those from the Heaven Branch, they had nearly five hundred people!
Among the Sterling House of Fangs disciples, Fang Hongxuan and Fang Bihan were the worst. All five hundred here were better than them.
Everyone listen up. Well pay back whoever dares to touch our men when were out! Fang Xingque declared and swept his glance into the surrounding.
Isnt that a little too arrogant? Tianming was speechless.
The Draconis House of Jian doesnt have many people, but theyre almost on the same level as the Archaic House of Xuanyuan. But the Archaic House of Xuanyuans seniors are stricter, and they have a solid foundation. Theyre very particular about their character, said Fang Xingying.
Different clans have different spirits. Suddenly, Fang Xingque turned to look at Fang Xingying.
You, come over, Fang Xingque said.
Shit. Im doomed! Fang Xingying had already tried his best to hide behind Tianming, but he was still discovered. In the end, he could only go up and get slapped.
Whyd you hit me? Fang Xingying asked.
Youre standing together with him? Are you stupid? Fang Xingque asked.
I tricked him into entering the Deepstar Battlefield for you so that youll have an opportunity to deal with him. Cant you see that? Fang Xingying gnashed his teeth.
Youre serious? Fang Xingques eyes lit up. Ive wronged you. Youve done well this time.
Yeah. Fang Xingying held his face. He didnt return to Tianming, but entered the Deepstar Formation together with the Sterling House of Fangs disciples. Before Fang Xingque entered the formation, he turned to look at Tianming and sneered.
What a fool. Tianming couldnt be bothered with him. No one could catch up to Meow Meow in the Deepstar Formation, yet Fang Xingque wanted to touch him?
