Divine-level Base
Chapter 205 - 204: Enter
On the battlefield, if someone were to engage in sabotage, even an expert at the Spirit Venerable Realm could perish from a single moment of carelessness.
The Erosion Realm was similarly fraught with peril, where the slightest misstep could lead to one’s demise. However, the choicest spoils in the Erosion Realm had already been carved up by the major Noble Families and Clans, leaving behind only the most dangerous and treacherous lands. In comparison, the Void Demon Hunting Ground was far more worthwhile.
Of course, without his two trump cards—the Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring and the newly born Blood Dominator, Su Mi—Shu Feng would never have dared to enter the Void Demon Hunting Ground.
Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow but didn’t press the matter further.
"This is my good friend, Zhang Ying. Come on, call her Sister Zhang Ying!"
Shui Lingyan said with a smile, pointing to a tall woman with short hair. Her features were plain, but she exuded a vibrant, heroic aura.
Shu Feng said, "Sister Zhang Ying!"
Zhang Ying raised an eyebrow and gave Shu Feng a slight nod. She didn’t seem inclined to talk, clearly viewing him as an arrogant genius who didn’t know his own limits.
The Void Demon Hunting Ground held countless Treasures of Heaven and Earth. One could find Profound Level treasures with just a bit of searching, and there were over a hundred types of Earth Level Spiritual Objects as well.
Profound Level Treasures of Heaven and Earth could easily fetch tens of billions at the Extraordinary Auction House, while Earth Level Spiritual Objects could be auctioned for over a trillion.
Finding and selling a single Earth Level Spiritual Object was enough to acquire wealth and glory beyond an ordinary person’s wildest dreams. It could also be exchanged for an immense amount of Cultivation Resources.
Over half of the Spirit Saints on Blue Star were prodigies who had emerged from the Void Demon Hunting Ground alive. That fact alone was enough to make countless young geniuses flock to the place.
The Hunting King exploited this very fact to lure prodigies from every world.
A burly young man with dyed yellow hair and an arrogant scowl on his face walked in. His eyes lit up when he saw Shui Lingyan, and he strode toward them. "Lingyan! What a coincidence. We meet again!"
Shui Lingyan’s delicate brows furrowed. "Luo Ye, we’re not close. Please use my full name."
"Heh heh. Shui Lingyan, I, Luo Ye, like you. In this life and the next, you can only be my woman! Remember that! I’m going into the Void Demon Hunting Ground with you. When I get back, I’m going to marry you!"
Luo Ye flashed an arrogant grin and strode away.
Shu Feng asked, "Sister Lingyan, who is he?"
Shui Lingyan replied, "He’s Luo Ye, the most outstanding genius of the Royal Luo Family’s current generation, and their best hope for producing a Spirit Saint. Of everyone here, he has one of the best chances of making it out of the Void Demon Hunting Ground alive."
Before long, four powerful experts in military uniforms stepped into the teleportation hall. They wore Heart of Steel emblems on their chests and radiated a battle-hardened aura.
Among the four experts from the Heart of Steel was a stunning beauty. She stood one-point-nine meters tall, with short hair, a curvaceous figure, and long, powerful legs. Her skin was a healthy tan, and she possessed a striking martial grace.
Shui Lingyan was taken aback. "Wu Yuexia? What’s she doing here?"
Shu Feng, still curious, asked, "Who is she?"
Shui Lingyan replied, "That’s Wu Yuexia, daughter of Wu Kuang, the Grand Marshal of the Heart of Steel. I never expected she would choose to enter the Void Demon Hunting Ground."
A man in black with plain features and a long claw mark across his face walked in. He said flatly, "I am Zhang Heng. I’m in charge of leading you to the Void Demon Hunting Ground. Follow me!"
As soon as Zhang Heng finished speaking, a Teleportation Light flashed below them, instantly transporting everyone to a Teleportation Array inside a city in the Erosion Realm.
A convoy of luxurious, Spiritual Power-fueled buses drove the group ten li outside the city before letting everyone off.
Zhang Heng took out a black scale and flicked it with his finger.
The black scale shot forward, absorbing the surrounding Power of Void Demon. It sent ripples through the void, finally forming a black gate fifty meters high.
Zhang Heng said, "This gate will remain open for one year. You can return through it three months after entering the Void Demon Hunting Ground. After a year, the gate will close completely. The next time a passage opens will be in ten years."
"No matter what powerful enemies you make inside, as long as you return to our world through this passage, you are absolutely safe."
Shu Feng glanced around, noting the area was filled with all sorts of fortifications and bunkers. Fierce, unyielding Spiritualist Warriors were on patrol everywhere.
Even if a Void Demon at the Spirit Venerable Realm dared to emerge from that black gate, it would be annihilated by the Spiritualist army stationed here.
Zhang Heng said, "Go on in."
Everyone walked through the black gate.
Stepping through the black gate, they found themselves in a world that was bright and sunny, with fresh air, shady green trees, and rich Spiritual Qi. It appeared completely untouched by pollution.
But upon seeing this new world, everyone’s nerves tightened. They scanned their surroundings, their eyes filled with apprehension.
In the Void Demon Hunting Ground, besides the Void Demon Nobles who came to hunt, there were also experts from other worlds, native factions, and terrifying monsters that had grown up within this realm.
Shui Lingyan asked, "Shu Feng, are you coming with us?"
"No thanks, Sister Lingyan. I prefer to travel alone. See you!"
Shu Feng waved to Shui Lingyan, and with a flicker of his body, he shot off toward the northwest.
A glint of delight flashed in the eyes of a few other experts who had entered the world. Their figures flickered as they also sped off to the northwest.
Zhang Ying’s delicate brows knitted together. "Lingyan, those guys are obviously up to no good. Shouldn’t we go and help him?"
Although Zhang Ying couldn’t stand reckless geniuses like Shu Feng, she was good-hearted.
"No need. That guy is as cunning as they come. Since he insisted on going alone, he must have a few tricks up his sleeve."
Shui Lingyan watched Shu Feng’s disappearing figure and said slowly, "Besides, he’s the one who chose to enter the Void Demon Hunting Ground. If he can’t even handle a small problem like this, he’ll die in here sooner or later anyway. Let’s move out! Time to carry out our mission!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
A solemn look flashed in the eyes of Zhang Ying, Jiang Feng, and Xu Sheng. They followed Shui Lingyan, and after a few quick bounds, they vanished from sight.
The more than four hundred experts from the various Major Noble Families and Clans also flickered into motion, speeding off toward their own objectives.
If one of them managed to acquire a single Earth Level Spirit Fruit or Spirit Grass, the Noble Families’ investment in that expert would pay off handsomely. Even obtaining a few Profound Level Spirit Fruits or Spirit Grasses would allow the Noble Families and Clans to recoup their initial costs.
