Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 492 - 488: Entering the Outer Battlefield

On the third day, early in the morning, the courtyard at the entrance of Northern Cloud Residence was already bustling with people. Naturally, those who could come here today were undoubtedly the cream of the crop of Xuanyuan Nation, as all of those present were preparing to enter the Outer Battlefield, with the weakest among them being at the peak of Martial King Realm and all of them quite young.

Back when the quotas were allocated, Ye Feng, as the team leader, had already set rules that those chosen to enter the Outer Battlefield should not be older than thirty-five years of age and must at least be at Martial King Level in terms of cultivation realm. After all, entering the Outer Battlefield meant that older individuals, despite higher cultivation, would often have diminishing potential.

Ye Feng was clear that today's entrants to the Outer Battlefield, if they could return safely after their trials and hardships, would undoubtedly become key pillars of Xuanyuan Nation in the future. Therefore, their age naturally couldn't be too high.

A total of thirty people gathered on the square. Originally, the plan was for fifty, but the twenty slots allocated to the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts were revoked when they unexpectedly changed their minds and entered the battlefield early under their own leadership. The Utility Pavilion was quite angry about this, but Ye Feng remained silent, even pleased by this turn of events.

After all, he was the captain leading the team, and a larger number of people would have meant greater responsibility. Now that the disciples from the Nine Great Sects of Ancient Martial Arts were unwilling to join his team, once inside, Ye Feng wouldn't need to bother with them.

The descendants of the direct lineages of the Cao Family and the Duan Family, whom Xiao Chuanqi had been sent to inform, were also present today—two young Martial Kings who appeared somewhat uneasy among these exceptionally talented individuals from Xuanyuan Nation.

Ye Feng did not meet with them separately, as there was no need. After all, his intentions were clear; once inside the Outer Battlefield, it would all depend on their individual abilities.

Ye Feng slowly walked onto the high platform. He scanned the crowd, gestured with his hand for silence, and then declared loudly, "Since you have all managed to come here, it sufficiently proves that you are the elites among the great powers. I won't say much more, but I do have one requirement!"

"The Outer Battlefield is not like our nation; it is fraught with extreme danger. Therefore, I demand everyone's absolute obedience. Once inside, if anyone disobeys and acts on their own, they will bear the consequences. We depart now!"

After speaking, Ye Feng waved his Great Hand, and the thirty-member team proceeded directly to the nearby small airfield. Five small helicopters soon started up and majestically headed eastward.

Since Hong Qingyan and Yu Feiyu did not accompany Ye Feng's team, he only brought Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and Leng Wuming, along with one Shadow—a total of five people. The other two slots were given to the young scions of the direct lineages of the Duan Family and the Cao Family.

Beyond this, the remaining ten slots were divided between the Eastern Border and Southern Territory, along with successors from the General's Residence of the Utility Pavilion and those from Aristocratic Clan Gates.

The entrance to the Outer Battlefield this time was located above the East Sea, so the first destination for everyone would be to fly to the East Sea. In fact, each time the entrance to the Outer Battlefield is not fixed; it appears randomly, and sometimes there's more than one. This time around, there were three, with the other two located in Snow Wolf Country and in the West.

Therefore, this time around, the Snow Wolf Country and the Western Vampire Alliance, as well as the Yin-Yang Masters from the Fusang Sword Saint Palace, have chosen to enter early, breaking the previously agreed-upon pact. Compared to these groups, due to several prior incidents, Xuanyuan Nation's departure was delayed.

Of course, the entrances to the Outer Battlefield are highly unstable when they first form, with many chaotic time-space streams that are extremely dangerous. Even Golden Core Realm or Sacred Realm Level Great Powers could only face the danger of being devoured upon entering them.

Thus, entering before the entrance is completely stabilized would entail significant risks, but many powers from the West and the Snow Wolf Country risked danger to enter early to seize resource treasures.

Ye Feng disapproved of such actions. After all, like Zhuge Wuming said, "Treasures are tempting, but you need to be alive to claim them." Being the first to enter doesn't necessarily mean you'll seize the best resources and treasures.

Over an hour later, five helicopters arrived above the East Sea. The vast sea surged beneath them, with a gigantic whirlpool below that seemed bottomless.

"Is this the entrance to the Outer Battlefield?" Ye Feng looked on and couldn't help but feel amazed. He was curious about this gate of time and space, which was still beyond his current understanding.

Of course, for the moment, Ye Feng didn't dare to probe any further. Even though he released his spiritual power downward, as soon as it touched the area around the whirlpool, it was immediately shredded and devoured, prompting him to hastily stop and refrain from any further reckless inspection.

"Prepare to enter in the established order!" Having said that, Ye Feng dove headfirst into the vortex. As the team leader, he naturally took the lead. Following him, Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and others jumped in one after another. Soon after, all thirty people leapt into the gigantic whirlpool atop the sea, and the five helicopters turned back.

As Ye Feng leapt into the vortex, the Spirit Essence in his acupoints surged out, forming a protective shield to prevent any accidents. At the same time, the Mental Power Nucleus in his Sea of Consciousness began spinning rapidly, releasing spiritual power.

However, he soon felt a wave of dizziness engulf his mind, and even his consciousness started to blur. Zhuge Wuming had previously mentioned that this was due to the strong temporal and spatial fluctuations, which ordinary people could hardly withstand. One would usually pass out as soon as they entered.

But Ye Feng soon realized that although his consciousness was blurry, it remained lucid. Meanwhile, the teammates around him, including those with the strongest cultivation levels like Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhan Tian, had all fainted.

"It seems that the influence of this spatial jump fluctuation is greatly related to spiritual power," Ye Feng thought to himself. It was then that he noticed the chaos surrounding the vortex, where time seemed to be at a standstill, giving him a palpable sense of heart palpitations.

Ye Feng did not doubt that if one were to fall into such a land of chaos or a temporal-spatial turbulence, their life and death would be left to fate.

Fortunately, this oppressive feeling did not last long. In fact, it lasted only for a few breaths. Suddenly, Ye Feng felt a heavy pressure envelop his entire body, and then he was falling downwards. With a thud, his feet finally hit the ground firmly.

Subsequently, a series of thumping sounds followed. Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhan Tian, and the others smashed into the ground one after another. They were not as fortunate as Ye Feng; all twenty-nine of them were still unconscious and hence got bruised and battered, some even breaking their legs.

"Ouch... my leg!" A powerhouse at the Third Realm of the Divine Path Realm began to wail on the spot, perhaps from the pain of the fall, as one by one, they slowly regained consciousness.

"What's going on, why do my legs feel as heavy as if they were filled with lead? It's even difficult to walk now, what's the matter?" Suddenly, someone got up, took a few steps, and then started to make a fuss.

Of course, those who woke up newest were Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhan Tian, along with Leng Wuming and Shadow. As soon as these few awoke, they were alert and scouting their surroundings, a level of vigilance that the pampered offspring of the large families selected as the Son of Heaven could not compare with.

Beyond that, Ye Feng also noticed that the young scion of the Cao Family awoke relatively quickly. After coming to, he immediately moved closer to where Ye Feng was standing, full of vigilance. Ye Feng nodded slightly upon seeing this, thinking to himself that the lad was not bad, knowing to come over and seek protection right away.

After all, the Outer Battlefield was full of unknowns and dangers. The most correct course of action was to lean on the strongest leader immediately upon arrival. By contrast, the young man from the Duan Family was far inferior.

Having passed through the whirlpool, Ye Feng was clear that the order in which these people awoke roughly reflected their innate bone talent. The young man from the Cao Family undoubtedly possessed a certain level of innate talent.

Ye Feng chose not to answer the question posed by that person earlier. After all, they had been told before entering that the Outer Battlefield belonged to another space and time, with gravity quite different from that of Earth World. The gravity in the Outer Battlefield was much stronger, which is why everyone felt heavy and partly why they had been bruised and swollen from the fall.

Of course, greater gravity also meant that everyone's strength would be somewhat limited after entering the Outer Battlefield. According to the experiences others had summarized, upon first entering the Outer Battlefield, one can only exert about half the strength level they could on Earth.

These people could not even remember these basic common sense points and babbled in confusion upon arrival. Clearly, their characters were not very impressive, and Ye Feng did not bother with them.

At this moment, Ye Feng looked around and realized they were in the middle of a vast wasteland, with no end in sight. There was no sun above their heads, and the sky dome looked grey and overcast, instilling a feeling of oppression. Furthermore, even the air was much thinner. Thankfully, everyone's cultivation level was not low, with the weakest at the Peak of Martial King Realm. Otherwise, even breathing would be problematic in this environment.

Ye Feng's gaze sharpened, and he instantly mobilized his Mental Power Nucleus. His spiritual power spread out silently. He quickly discovered that even spiritual power was suppressed in the Outer Battlefield, its coverage halved compared to the outside, and even his Spirit Sense Divine Consciousness greatly constrained.

"Worthy of the Outer Battlefield, an entirely different space and time from Earth World, it truly is extraordinary," Ye Feng thought to himself before announcing loudly, "Everyone, rest in place, do not wander around carelessly. Those who are injured, treat your wounds first!"

Everyone naturally had no objections. Though everyone was curious, as newcomers, they refrained from acting rashly and opted to look around restlessly but obediently in their spot.
