Tianxie Prefecture was originally a wild land, filled with the stench of decay. It felt as if taking a breath of its air could make one age.
This place is not suitable for cultivation; strange auras still linger in the world. Neither humans nor other races choose to settle here.
Here, only some low-level rats and insects breed underground; aside from them, the place feels like a land of death.
However, when Long Chen and the others arrived, the place was bustling with activity. On the high mountains, grand formations lit up, gathering a large amount of spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy here is sparse, but many people, eager to adapt, have resorted to using formations to release the chaotic energy from the Chaos Spirit Stones. Within the formation, people do not feel uncomfortable.
Additionally, these mountains are all set up with Sky-Peering Formations. Many people avoid going to Miesheng Mountain or Juelong Ridge because battles of that level are too close and could cost them their lives.
If the distance is too far and you can't see clearly, it's better to stand here and watch the battle through the formation—safe, fast, and painless.
As Guo Ran's flying boat swept through the void and saw the endless formation on the ground and the densely packed figures inside, Guo Ran and the others unconsciously began to feel their blood flow quicken.
The further the flying boat advanced, the denser the formation became. Soon, an endless stretch of black mountains appeared ahead.
The mountains are pitch black as ink, barren of grass, and life has long since vanished—this is the Mountain of Extinction.
In the middle of Extinction Mountain stood a massive ridge, like a giant dragon winding forward, splitting the mountain area in two.
As the dragon neared its head, it was severed by a natural barrier. From above, it looked as if a dragon had its head severed, hence the name 'Dragon Ridge.'
Juelong Ridge once had many legends, but the era was so ancient that none could be verified.
People only know that a world-ending war once took place here, severing all vitality in an entire world and turning it into a place of death.
Around Extinction Mountain, countless powerful figures had already surrounded the area into a massive encirclement.
These were all powerful spectators. Those who dared to watch here were either peerless prodigies or immortal-level experts. They were extremely confident in their own strength and disdainful of watching battles from the grand formation.
After all, watching from a grand formation is flat, not only lacking three-dimensionality, but also lacking that violent pressure and immersive feeling, the experience is definitely much worse.
Today is the day of the great battle. Around Juelong Ridge, the area is already packed with people. Here, prodigies from various races have gathered, coming from various worlds just to witness this unparalleled battle.
As soon as Guo Ran's flying boat arrived, it immediately drew everyone's attention. The people who had been chatting all stopped, and the noisy scene instantly quieted down.
Buzz!
When the flying boat stopped, Long Chen pulled Xiao He'er down from it. At that moment, countless eyes focused on Long Chen, as if billions of sharp swords were aimed at him.
Clearly, these gazes were almost entirely malicious. Their gazes contained doubt, contempt, provocation, and even a strong murderous intent.
Faced with countless blade-like gazes from powerful figures, if it were any other expert, they would have already been suffocated, yet Long Chen still strode leisurely, his face expressionless.
Long Chen had fought countless battles in his life—what scene hadn't he seen? He had seen this kind of spectacle many times.
But Xiao He'er was clearly a bit awkward being stared at by so many people. She held Long Chen's hand tightly and applied some force, clearly feeling a bit nervous.
"Such a strong hostility,"
Xiao He'er couldn't help but say.
Of course, the hostility is intense. Those who come here are truly strong, and true strength is not taught but fought through battle.
Every powerful figure had endured countless bloody battles, breaking through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. When they showed hostility, their terrifying aura sent chills down one's spine.
Not to mention Xiao He'er—even Ye Ling, a Saint-level powerhouse, couldn't help but frown. Being stared at by so many people made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
The Dragon Blood warriors, on the other hand, were all very calm, completely unaffected by their gazes, quietly following behind Long Chen.
However, among the Dragonblood warriors, only Guo Ran looked around, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding powerful figures, his eyes full of excitement.
"Wow, with so many people, if they all attack me at once, I wonder if my armor can withstand it." Guo Ran chuckled.
There was a hint of worry in her words, but the smile on her face was so annoyingly annoying. Clearly, this was a low-key way of showing off.
"Long Chen, long time no see. I miss you very much."
Just as Long Chen and the others stepped off the flying boat, a fragrant breeze greeted them. Feng Fei, dressed in a palace gown, walked over, smiling warmly as she greeted Long Chen.
Feng Fei actually had little to do with Long Chen, and they weren't really close, but Feng Fei's warm and friendly attitude, as if they were familiar with each other, was not unpleasant.
"It's been a long time. How have you been lately?" Long Chen looked at Feng Fei and greeted her, but after greeting, he was momentarily stunned. He noticed a peculiar aura emanating from Feng Fei.
That aura was actually somewhat similar to Minglong Tianye, which surprised Long Chen.
"Impressive?" You saw through all this? However, with the help of my family, I have only just begun to awaken a trace of Destiny energy, and now I can't even be considered a quasi-Destiny Being. Feng
Fei glanced behind Long Chen and smiled slightly, "By the way, that jealous beauty isn't here, is she?" Can I speak further? The
jealous beauty she mentioned was Tang Wan'er. Last time, Tang Wan'er showed great hostility toward her, leaving a deep impression on her. So now, when she spoke to Long Chen, she deliberately kept a certain distance.
Long Chen was speechless. If Tang Wan'er hadn't come down from the flying boat, or if she was already in the crowd, he would have stirred up a hornet's nest.
"When you have leisure, reflect on your own faults; don't gossip about others afterward. Isn't it inappropriate to gossip about others behind their backs?" Bai Shishi, standing next to Long Chen, said coldly.
Long Chen was taken aback. Bai Shishi actually spoke up for Tang Wan'er, and his heart warmed. It seemed Bai Shishi already considered Tang Wan'er one of her own. She didn't have the magnanimity of Yu Qingxuan. When others spoke of Tang Wan'er, she naturally became unhappy.
"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault. I was just joking. Please don't hold it against me, Fairy Shishi."
Bai Shishi's words were sharp, as if she could bite someone off with a single bite, but Feng Fei didn't care at all. She apologized with a cheerful smile, which surprised everyone.
You have to know, Feng Fei is the prodigy of the Jiang family, a celestial clan, showing signs of becoming the leader of the younger generation. Yet she never expected her temper to be so good.
"Miss Fengfei, do you have any advice?" Long Chen didn't want to waste time on such a scene, so he asked.
"I'm here to introduce a few friends to you." As she spoke, Feng Fei waved her jade-like hand, and a group of people walked over behind her.
When he saw the group behind her, Long Chen's pupils contracted slightly.
