Chapter 2519: On the Eve of the Phenomenon’s Manifestation
The four men and five women were naturally Fang Bai, Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor, and other Emperor’s Palace Immortals."The anomalies of the ancient battlefield here are evolved from the Heavenly Dao, and they are different every time..."
Upon hearing Disciple Xiao Qi’s inquiry, Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor patiently began to explain.
The anomalies of the ancient battlefield appear once every hundred years, and each time the opening lasts only ten days. You could say that if you arrive slightly late, you’ll miss it.
Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor, having previously trained in the Immortal Realm, had visited Demon-Slaying Immortal City multiple times and witnessed the anomalies produced by the ancient battlefield in the mountains multiple times. Each time, he carefully observed, gaining occasional insights.
Therefore, when explaining to Disciple Xiao Qi, he was meticulous and thorough.
Linghu Baimi, Rou Fu, and their four sisters were also visiting the vicinity of this ancient battlefield for the first time. Excited and thrilled, they perked their ears to carefully listen to Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor explaining the anomalies of the ancient battlefield to Xiao Qi.
Yet Fang Bai’s mind was not focused on the impending anomalies of the ancient battlefield.
At this moment, the sky and ground around the vast valley were already crowded with no less than a hundred thousand immortals, most of whom were either Immortal King Realm or Immortal Emperor Realm experts.
Fang Bai spread his Divine Sense, searching for familiar auras among the many immortals.
The appearance of anomalies at the ancient battlefield outside Demon-Slaying Immortal City was a rare grand event in the Immortal Realm. Numerous immortals gathered here from the nine major Heavenly Domains, among whom there might be surviving disciples of the Emperor’s Palace or ascended immortals from the lower world.
"I didn’t expect them to come too..."
At that moment, three streaks of light flew from the horizon, landing on a distant mountain peak. When the three immortals’ appearances became clear, a cold light flashed in Fang Bai’s eyes.
The middle one of the three immortals was indeed Red Ape Immortal Emperor, and Fang Bai also recognized the two immortals beside him as two stewards from Dragon Taming Palace.
Previously, Red Ape Immortal Emperor summoned two fellow sect members to return to Demon-Slaying Immortal City to confront Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and others but found they had already left.
Seeing that the anomalies of the ancient battlefield were about to appear, the two stewards accompanying Red Ape Immortal Emperor decided not to leave and came here with him to try their luck.
Their cultivation levels had stagnated in the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm for thousands of years, with most of their life span already spent, eager to find an opportunity for breakthrough.
If they could glimpse a thread of the Great Dao from the anomalies appearing on the ancient battlefield and gain some enlightenment, it would be ideal.
Fang Bai immediately transmitted a message to Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and the others, urging them to remain vigilant, conceal their aura for now, and wait for the anomalies of the ancient battlefield to end before looking for an opportunity to eliminate Red Ape Immortal Emperor and the two high-level members from Dragon Taming Palace.
Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and the others exchanged a look after hearing Fang Bai’s message, seeing a sense of excitement in each other’s eyes.
Although Red Ape Immortal Emperor and the two high-level members from Dragon Taming Palace appeared overpowering in strength compared to Fang Bai and the others, Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and the others knew that within Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring were two Puppet Corpses of high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm.
As long as Fang Bai was willing, he could easily eliminate Red Ape Immortal Emperor and the two high-level members from Dragon Taming Palace by summoning any of the Puppet Corpses.
Therefore, Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and the others looked at Red Ape Immortal Emperor and the two high-level members from Dragon Taming Palace as if they were looking at three lifeless corpses.
Since Fang Bai and the others had all disguised and concealed their auras, and Red Ape Immortal Emperor and the two high-level members from Dragon Taming Palace had not closely observed each immortal near the valley, they were unaware that Fang Bai and the others were only a few dozen miles away.
At this time, various immortals continued to arrive.
"Those are disciples from the Myriad Sword Sect!"
"Red Lotus Palace disciples are here too!"
"Two stewards from Flying Swan Peak have arrived!"
"There are also direct disciples from Qingtian Palace present!"
"I see several Female Immortals from Ice River Palace!"
"Thunder Palace disciples have come to join the fun too!"
"Including Red Ape Immortal Emperor and the three immortals from Dragon Taming Palace, disciples from the seven top forces in the current Immortal Realm are all here!"
"If Golden Crow Palace hadn’t been destroyed, disciples from the eight top forces would have gathered!"
"It seems this ancient battlefield anomaly truly holds great importance to immortals from all sides!"
...
As they saw disciples from the major top forces appearing among the continuously arriving immortals, the crowd was stirred, thinking it was fortunate they weren’t vying for some Immortal Realm treasure. Otherwise, with disciples from several top forces present, how could they compete?
"Ha... they’ve all come..."
Fang Bai squinted his eyes, sweeping his Divine Sense over the disciples from the seven top forces one by one, a flicker of flame flashing in his pupils, murder intent brewing within him.
The disciples coming from the seven top forces this time were almost always accompanied by one or two Immortal Emperor Realm experts, bringing along several prodigies.
Fang Bai understood such an arrangement usually meant sect leaders accompanying palace disciples on tempering exercises.
And for a rare, once-in-a-century opportunity like the manifestation of anomalies at the ancient battlefield, disciples of the seven top forces naturally wouldn’t miss it.
After flying to the vicinity of the valley, disciples from the seven top forces each occupied a mountain peak, standing proudly, looking down on the other immortals.
The other immortals kept their distance to avoid inadvertently provoking these behemoths.
With limited space around the valley, everyone wanted to get closer to have a better view of the manifesting anomalies of the ancient battlefield.
As a result, some of the late-arriving but powerful immortals began using coercive means to expel weaker immortals occupying favorable positions.
Some of the expelled immortals, who were hot-tempered and unwilling, resisted, which led to fighter encounters in the void, resulting in injuries or even death, which was not uncommon.
Such scenes replayed every century; some immortals had long gotten used to it.
Linghu Baimi, Rou Fu’s four sisters, Great Sage Sun, and Xiao Qi, being first-timers, found the lively scene intriguing.
The mountain peak where Fang Bai, Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor, Great Sage Sun, Linghu Baimi, Xiao Qi, and Rou Fu’s four sisters gathered was in a reasonable position, naturally drawing attention from some strong individuals.
However, likely due to Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor, a mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm expert, being present, some immortals coveting this mountain peak but had self-awareness dared not rashly provoke them.
"Trouble is at our doorstep..."
Fang Bai suddenly murmured to himself, looking towards the left void.
Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor immediately raised his head to look as well.
They saw a gaunt, cold-eyed immortal flying over on Auspicious Clouds from the sky, surveying all around before descending towards the mountain peak where Fang Bai and the others were located.
"Get lost! This mountain peak belongs to me, Soul Pursuit Immortal Emperor!"
Before the gaunt immortal’s body landed, he shouted, sending out sound waves like an invisible giant wave towards the mountain peak where Fang Bai and the other nine immortals stood, intending to give them a "show of force".
