Chapter 2156 - 2153: Endless Battlefield

Chapter 2156: Chapter 2153: Endless Battlefield

To leave the Void Path, one needs the approval of the Void Empress, so leaving the Void Path is not a difficult task for Ling Feng.

"Big Brother Ling, as long as you pass through this Space Gate, you can leave!" Xiao Xi pointed at the Space Gate ahead and said, "Don’t forget our agreement!"

Ling Feng smiled: "Definitely!"

As he spoke, Ling Feng’s figure flickered and appeared inside the Space Gate, disappearing from sight.

"Big Brother Ling, you must succeed!" Staring at Ling Feng’s disappearing back view, Xiao Xi murmured to herself.

...

After entering the Space Gate, Ling Feng felt a flash of white light before his eyes. Immediately, he found himself standing in a gigantic plaza.

"Where is this...?" Ling Feng looked around. Seven massive stone pillars surrounded him, forming a strange formation.

"Hey kid, come over here!" At this moment, a rough voice called out as four figures emerged beside Ling Feng.

Four Golden Armored Warriors appeared next to Ling Feng. Three of them pointed their weapons at him, while the other said solemnly: "Kid, be obedient and come with us!"

Ling Feng’s expression darkened: "Who are you people?"

"When we say move, you move. Be obedient!" One of the Golden Armored Warriors shouted coldly, then swung the spear in his hands towards Ling Feng’s back.

"Get lost!" Ling Feng shouted lowly, waving his hand to try to fend him off. But to his shock, he found his inner power sealed, unable to manifest.

With a thud, the spear struck hard against Ling Feng’s back, tearing flesh and drawing blood.

"Haha, this little lad still doesn’t know our Endless Battlefield’s rules, how amusing!" Another Golden Armored Warrior laughed coldly.

"My power...is sealed again?" Ling Feng’s heart sank. In this unpredictable environment, being powerless was truly dangerous.

"This is the Endless Battlefield. All newcomers who enter here have their powers sealed. To unseal your powers, you must battle continuously to obtain the Unsealing Fruit. Only by consuming the Unsealing Fruit can you gradually restore your power!" The Golden Armored Warrior who spoke first said calmly: "As of now, you are like fish on a chopping block, unable to resist us, so... be good and come with us, we won’t treat you badly!"

"Haha, follow you? You hypocrites only know how to exploit newcomers, what else can you do?" At this moment, three people clad in black armor appeared before them.

"Hey buddy, come with us to the Dark Demon Clan, we’ll ensure you enjoy yourself!" said a female with a seductive charm and giggle.

Seeing the three appear, the four Golden Armored Warriors’ expressions changed: "Dark Demon Clan, you dare show yourselves in front of us, don’t you fear death?"

"Stop boasting!" the Dark Demon Clan woman snorted coldly: "All your Golden Armor Clan’s skills are just in talking. Since when have you been able to overshadow our Dark Demon Clan on the Endless Battlefield?"

"You..." The Golden Armored Warrior gritted his teeth in frustration, but found no rebuttal to the truth of her words.

At this time, Ling Feng’s voice came through: "So... can you tell me, what’s really going on here?"

"Little brother, ask me anything, I can tell you everything!" the Dark Demon Clan woman said, winking.

"What exactly is the Endless Battlefield? Why is my power sealed? And what’s the deal between your factions?"

The Dark Demon Clan woman replied: "I can only tell you, in the Endless Battlefield, there are three factions: the Dark Demon Clan, the Golden Armor Clan, and the Celestial Clan. Of course, the Celestial Clan is naturally arrogant and looks down on other clans, they have no interest in newcomers."

"As for the Endless Battlefield... it is an unending battleground. Our opponents are creatures known as Puppet Insects." the Dark Demon Clan woman explained calmly: "We can only acquire a Crystal Core from the bodies of these Puppet Insects after killing them, and these cores can nurture Unsealing Fruits."

Ling Feng nodded quietly, so that’s how it is. But why are they competing for me? At present, I’m just a powerless newcomer.

"What’s the reason for fighting over me?" Ling Feng said solemnly: "I presume there must be a special reason behind your efforts to recruit me as a newcomer, right?"

Members of both the Golden Armor Clan and Dark Demon Clan were silent for a moment, exchanging glances unsure of how to respond.

"It’s simple, because you’re a newcomer, free from the Puppet Insects’ scent. This allows you to enter the relic and obtain its treasures!" Another voice suddenly chimed in.

Both the Golden Armor Clan and Dark Demon Clan were shocked: "Celestial Clan members, how can this be? Something’s amiss!"

A man with Light Wings appeared in front of everyone and said to Ling Feng: "Their aim is simple, yet insidious, which is to have you enter the relic. The relic can only be accessed by those free from the Puppet Insects’ scent."

Ling Feng squinted, gauging the expressions of those around; it seemed the Winged man’s words were true.

"Follow me, we Celestial Clan disdain using such methods!" the Winged man said calmly: "If you want to survive in the Endless Battlefield, following us is the wisest choice!"

"And what do I need to offer?" Ling Feng asked.

"Nothing at all!" the Winged man replied: "We Celestial Clan are different from them. You’re just a newcomer, with no strength, you offer us no utility."

"Relic?" Ling Feng raised an eyebrow: "What’s in the relic?"

"Various treasures or Battle Techniques, maybe even Divine Techniques!" the Dark Demon Clan woman said beside him.

Divine Techniques? Ling Feng’s heart skipped a beat. The thought of finding Divine Techniques in the relic stirred his interest.

"So, you mean only newcomers can enter the relic, right?"

"That’s right. After staying more than three days on the Endless Battlefield, you become marked with the Puppet Insects’ scent, and can no longer enter the relic. But be warned, the relic is very dangerous..."

"I see!" Ling Feng chuckled: "I’m actually quite interested in the relic!"

"What?" The crowd was taken aback, staring at Ling Feng in shock. Was this guy insane, thinking of going to the relic? Doesn’t he know it’s perilous, with survival unlikely?

"What do you mean?" The Celestial Clan male asked, somewhat displeased.
