Chapter 241: Bloody Battle

One hour later.

Jiang Yan’s War Ruins Engravings had surged to sixty.

He had practically treated the five Ninth Rank Transcendent-level powerhouses as mere mobs to farm experience.

With the Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit by his side, Jiang Yan concealed himself completely in the shadows, waiting for opportunities to absorb Battle Intent to strengthen his Physique.

At the same time, he was quite curious about the Law powers released by the five.

The battle between the five left no room for holding back, each collision of Laws causing massive energy fluctuations.

The Four Directions Boundary Stone passed through many hands—from the Winged Clan’s Qing Yao to the Fire Man, who was besieged and suffered miserably, then to another burly man.

Though the burly man had thick skin and tough flesh, he couldn’t withstand the combined assault of the other four, so he gritted his teeth and threw the Boundary Stone away.

The green-skinned Transcendent was the first to react, leaping up to catch the Boundary Stone.

“Hahaha, it’s back in my hands again!”

The burly man also laughed heartily, glaring fiercely at the green-skinned one with murderous intent. “Now it’s my turn to beat you!”

The green-skinned one was startled and hurriedly threw the Boundary Stone away.

“I don’t want it anymore!”

“That’s not up to you!” A whirlwind lifted the stone, dropping it back onto the green-skinned one’s head.

The other four exclaimed in unison, “The Boundary Stone is on his head! Let’s attack together!”

Green-skinned: !

“You’re all just targeting me!”

Whoosh!

A fireball roared toward him, its blazing domain scorching the heavens.

The Fire Man, wielding raging flames, poured them relentlessly into the green-skinned one’s area without regard for consumption. “I don’t care! Just die!”

Boom! Boom!

The Law attacks of the other three followed closely.

Gritting his teeth, the green-skinned one vanished into the sea of flames.

“Sixty-five War Ruins Engravings now. This fight was really worth watching~”

Jiang Yan muttered to himself, unable to resist moving closer to the battlefield.

Even a Martial God-level existence couldn’t detect the Chaotic Void Ancestral Spirit, let alone these mere Ninth Rank cannon fodder. Jiang Yan believed he could afford to be bolder.

“It seems Qiao Yi really is on the brink of death. These five genuine Ninth Rank Transcendents are at least ten times stronger than Qiao Yi based on their performance!”

His assessment went unheard.

Under the combined assault of the four, the green-skinned one, enraged, latched onto the Fire Man, using a life-for-life tactic to break the siege.

“Don’t just attack me!” the Fire Man cried out in panic as he fled.

“Shut up and die, Fire Dog!”

The green-skinned one pursued relentlessly.

No matter who you fight, I, the green-skinned one, will only fight the Fire Dog!

The chase between the five top-tier Transcendents raged on.

One week later…

“These guys really have boundless energy.”

Jiang Yan watched from the sidelines, feeling drowsy. The five seemed to have inexhaustible stamina. Several times, he had almost lost track of them, but fortunately, he had the [Law of the Jungle] to lock onto them. Otherwise, his War Ruins Engravings wouldn’t have surged to the current number—

500!

That’s right, his Battle Intent was now sufficient to condense 500 War Ruins Engravings.

With 500 War Ruins Engravings as his foundation, his Heaven-Slaying Battle Intent could even neutralize Martial God-level attacks!

Owning such a life-saving ability was all thanks to the excellent performance of those five Ninth Rank powerhouses.

High-level battles, top-tier and pure Battle Intent—wasn’t this exactly the pinnacle “Dueling Arena” Jiang Yan had been seeking?

“Damn it! I don’t want this Boundary Stone anymore! Stop fighting!”

Qing Yao, dragging his battered body, staggered as he spread his tattered wings.

“Get back here!”

The green-skinned one had been driven into a frenzy, no longer caring about his millennia of arduous cultivation. Using his last remaining Law power, he transformed a planet into a Starry Sky behemoth.

“Birdman, you were the one who struck the hardest just now! I won’t rest until one of us is dead today!”

The green-skinned one’s entire body was swollen, his recovery speed no longer able to keep up with the rate of damage. Large chunks of flesh and tissue scattered everywhere, making him look utterly wretched.

“Let’s not go that far, let’s not! I can’t die here! Didn’t we cultivate for thousands of years just to achieve immortality? Why not let bygones be bygones? I’ll give you the Boundary Stone!”

Qing Yao felt a bit uneasy. It seemed he had struck a bit too hard earlier—in his panic, he had accidentally crushed one of the green-skinned one’s demon pills.

Moreover, he had infused it with Law power to Seal it, making it likely impossible to restore for the next hundred years.

“Hah, let bygones be bygones?” The green-skinned one let out a sinister laugh, his expression turning ferocious. “I’ll let bygones be bygones your mother!”

Boom!

The Starry Sky behemoth descended upon the battlefield.

The green-skinned one had gone mad, forgetting all reason. The grudge over his demon pill outweighed even his grand plan for immortality!

What restraint? What maneuvering?

All he wanted was for Qing Yao to repay him with double the demon pills!

“Die!”

Caught between the behemoth and the green-skinned one, Qing Yao was completely shrouded in shadow, looking utterly desolate.

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

…

Meanwhile, on the other side, Fire Man, Rough Man, and a Transcendent of no particular significance were locked in combat, watching Qing Yao and the green-skinned one at the center of the explosion with wary expressions.

“Are these two really going that far?”

Boom! Just as Rough Man paused to observe, a sky-obscuring fireball came crashing down.

The few remaining strands of Rough Man’s hair turned to charcoal.

“Hahahahaha, daring to lose focus in a fight? Looking to die!”

Rough Man fell into Silence, but a terrifying Aura slowly began to brew.

Fire Man’s breath hitched, and he retreated ten thousand steps.

“My hairstyle…”

“Was combed by my mom!”

Boom!

A hundred-thousand-meter giant filled half the battlefield, its terrifying pressure overwhelming everything in its path. Meteors turned to dust, and passing merchant ships suffered unjust disasters, reduced to powder.

The heavens collapsed and the earth split—the entire Void struggled to withstand this immense power, shattering inch by inch.

In the distance, Jiang Yan’s War Ruins Engravings surged to 550!

Jiang Yan jolted awake from his drowsiness.

What happened?

“Why are these Engravings increasing so quickly?”

Just as he was utterly confused, a shockwave collided from tens of millions of meters away. Jiang Yan shielded himself with Spirit Ink, retreating over a dozen steps before barely stabilizing.

“Such a powerful fluctuation? Could there be new Ninth Ranks joining the fray?”

At the edge of his vision, flames soared into the sky, and the Starfield Battlefield was filled with dust and clamor.

Amidst the rumbling sounds of physical collisions, Jiang Yan used his Spiritual Power to sense that one Ninth Rank had already fled the center of the battlefield, while the remaining four Ninth Rank Transcendents had plunged into a deathmatch.

Jiang Yan was stunned. Had he missed some major drama while dozing off?

Green-skinned vs. Qing Yao—The Grudge of the Demon Pill

Rough Man vs. Fire Man—The Hatred Over Severed Hair

In just an hour, Jiang Yan’s War Ruins Engravings surged to 600.

“What exactly did they go through?”

At this rate of growth, it could rival even Martial Gods fighting, couldn’t it?

These individuals were far from matching a Martial God in strength, meaning their Battle Intent was excessively high—surpassing the limits of their Rank!

“Is the Four Directions Boundary Stone really so precious that these life-cherishing Ninth Rank Transcendents would go to such lengths?”

It seems this Boundary Stone will have to wander a bit longer.

Using Spiritual Power to probe, I saw the fire man continuously apologizing to the burly man, saying things like “I’m sorry,” “I have hair growth ointment,” “You still look quite handsome now,” and so on.

As for Qing Yao, his side was like: “I’ll help you reattach the demon pill,” “My clan has the best physicians,” “If we can’t cure it, I’ll take off my own to compensate you!”
