Chapter 393: Chapter 387: Life and Death Trial Arena, Treasure Scramble Among the Crowd

The Bai Ze Divine Beast’s suggestion was quickly endorsed by everyone, and soon, those undead elders of the Ten Thousand Mountains reached a consensus.

They cast magic using the Sumeru Mustard Seed Containment technique, transforming the area of the battle between Wu Nengsheng and the World Honored into a special space resembling an ancient battlefield.

Outside the Ten Thousand Mountains, they left an entrance to this special space.

Only those with power below Tier Three could enter this special space. If those at Tier Three and above tried to forcibly enter, they would immediately be detected by those undead elders of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

These undead elders of the Ten Thousand Mountains were all Tier Two Peak Powerhouses, and when they joined forces, they carried significant weight in the Mysterious World.

The Bai Ze Divine Beast’s method not only prevented overly powerful individuals from engaging in private duels in the Ten Thousand Mountains but also showed that they were not trying to monopolize the treasures.

With this plan in place, those Tier Two powerhouses who initially planned on treasure hunting dared not voice any objections.

After all, the Ten Thousand Mountains were their territory, and if the hosts were unwelcoming, forcing your way in would inevitably lead to conflict.

The undead elders within the Ten Thousand Mountains were not easy to deal with.

Although those strong among the Tier Two and Tier Three couldn’t enter, they could send their disciples or younger family members inside.

After all, anyone who had reached Tier Two or Tier Three power had likely lived many years, so who wouldn’t have some disciples or juniors?

Soon, the news was spread out.

The area destroyed by Wu Nengsheng and the World Honored’s decisive battle got a new name.

This name was: Life and Death Trial Arena.

After the news of the Life and Death Trial Arena spread, even those who weren’t initially interested in the treasure fragments of the World Honored and Wu Nengsheng flocked here.

They came for the trials, hoping to seize the opportunity with geniuses gathered to fight their favored opponents and enhance themselves.

Lin Yuan changed his appearance and also arrived at the periphery of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The entrance to the Life and Death Trial Arena was unguarded and unwatched.

Anyone below Tier Four could enter without any hindrance.

The Ten Thousand Mountains spanned a colossal hundred thousand miles, and the area affected by Wu Nengsheng and the World Honored’s battle was about a third, approximately thirty thousand miles.

This meant the Life and Death Trial Arena was a vast thirty thousand miles.

So, even when many had already entered, the entrance remained desolate.

Lin Yuan hesitated not for a second and directly went inside.

All around was emptiness, a dead silence enveloped the surroundings; the blackened trees showed no vitality, and not a living thing was visible across the region.

It was known that this area belonged to the outer zone affected by Wu Nengsheng and the World Honored’s battle, the least damaged area.

At the central area of their battle zone, everything was obliterated, vanished, like a black hole.

Lin Yuan didn’t know where the center of Wu Nengsheng and the World Honored’s battle was; he just followed the traces of damage.

Moving from the less damaged areas toward the severely damaged ones, the heavily damaged area must surely be the core of Wu Nengsheng and the World Honored’s battle.

After walking quite a distance, Lin Yuan suddenly realized a problem.

The dean told him to gather the residual souls in this region, but he hadn’t found a single one!

Could it be because he was currently in the fringe area, and the residual souls the dean mentioned were all in the core area?

Thinking this, Lin Yuan hastened his pace, swiftly running towards the core area along the trail of destruction.

"Ah!"

"Roar! Ah!"

"Howl! Roar!"

After walking for about another ten minutes, Lin Yuan heard wails and howls coming from his front right.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan quickly stopped in his tracks.

Since entering this Life and Death Trial Arena, it had been a deathly silence.

Now that he finally heard some disturbance, naturally, Lin Yuan wanted to investigate.

With a decision made, Lin Yuan immediately headed in the direction of the sounds.

Soon, Lin Yuan arrived at the source of the sounds.

When he saw the scene before him, Lin Yuan’s pupils constricted sharply.

In a depression ahead, there was a blood-covered, hideously ugly burly man practicing with some kind of treasure.

That treasure was a banner, shrouded in sinister aura, filled with malevolence, where countless fierce residual souls roamed around, crying out in mournful wails.

Elder Bai had mentioned that these residual souls, due to their incomplete nature, were left with only the instinct to blindly wander.

In essence, these residual souls didn’t pose much threat.

However, once these otherwise harmless residual souls were practiced upon, it was a completely different matter.

At this moment, the residual souls on the demonic banner appeared particularly fierce, with extraordinary lethality.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan thought, no wonder there were no residual souls along the way! Turns out, this bastard had gathered them all to refine a demonic magical artifact!

Now, most people entering this place aimed for the supreme treasure fragments of the World Honored and Wu Nengsheng, gathering towards the core area of their battle.

Lin Yuan’s intentions were different; he wasn’t interested in the supreme treasure fragments of Wu Nengsheng and the World Honored. He was here solely for the residual souls.

He never expected to encounter someone with the same goal.

Moreover, this rival had arrived before him and had already amassed a considerable number of residual souls.

Lin Yuan thought, wait, I came for the residual souls, and now they’re all taken by you, wouldn’t that mean I came for nothing?

When it comes to matters concerning the Divine Country, there’s no room for error, so Lin Yuan was determined to acquire these residual souls.

Since he was late, he’d have to seize them.

Seize?

Lin Yuan felt he had thought of a great idea; directly seizing them would save the trouble of gathering them.

With the plan set, Lin Yuan stealthily approached the back of the evil cultivator.

At this moment, the evil cultivator was engrossed in refining his demonic magical artifact, clearly very pleased with himself.

"Hehe, these fools, battling for some magical treasure fragments till they’re battered and bruised."

"Little do they know that utilizing these residual souls, my Ten Thousand Soul Banner’s power is no less than those treasure fragments."

"Even if they obtain some treasure fragments, unless they gather more than half to compose a partial magical treasure, they won’t compare to my Ten Thousand Soul Banner."

"With so many experts vying for them, securing a partial magical treasure, or even a fingernail-sized fragment, is incredibly tough!" The evil cultivator laughed smugly.
