Although this was merely the outer region of the ancient battlefield, and they hadn’t yet truly entered the Imperial Dynasties Assembly, everyone who could enter the ancient battlefield was without exception a young genius from the various Imperial Dynasties. Wanting to control a gathering point was no simple matter!
To be able to occupy a gathering point in such an environment, just what Imperial Dynasty was this, to be so tyrannically overbearing!
“Control it? Hmph, I’d like to see which Imperial Dynasty is that capable!”
However, as the Young Pavilion Master of the Rainbow Light Pavilion, Liu Yun was clearly arrogant as well. Before Qin Yichen could even dissuade him, he had already walked toward the gathering point.
“Everyone, this gathering point has already been occupied by our Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty. If you wish to lodge here for a night, each person needs only pay one Spirit Seed.”
At that moment, at the entrance, a resonant voice rolled out, and the Yuan Energy fluctuations contained within caused quite a few people’s expressions to change.
“On what grounds? Gathering points are for public use. Being so tyrannically overbearing is rather inappropriate!”
Very clearly, those who had come here were all genius figures from the various Imperial Dynasties. Perhaps they did not care about a single Spirit Seed, but this threatening method of demanding payment still caused many to feel dissatisfied, and immediately someone voiced their discontent.
At the main entrance, a large man with a face full of scars and a fierce countenance heard this, and a flash of vicious light passed through his eyes.
In the next instant, before anyone could see how he made his move, a cold gleam flashed past like a meteor, and then a head soared into the sky.
An expert who had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm didn’t even have time to resist before his body perished and his Soul dispersed, dying with grievances unresolved!
Seeing this scene, quite a few people’s expressions immediately changed. Only at this moment did they perceive that the burly man before them was actually a Mid Stage Martial Emperor, and moreover, they had not even clearly seen his attack just now. This indicated that he was definitely no ordinary Mid Stage Martial Emperor!
As for Liu Yun, who had originally been preparing to step forward and rebuke them, upon witnessing this scene, his figure immediately froze in place like a wooden chicken.
Such decisive and ruthless methods truly made him, who had not experienced slaughter, feel somewhat chilled in his heart!
Qin Yichen’s eyes also narrowed slightly. Having only just entered the ancient battlefield, he had already glimpsed the cruel nature of the Imperial Dynasties Assembly.
Here, whoever had the bigger fist had the say. This was the hard truth!
If one lacked capability yet also lacked discernment, they would likely end up like that fellow who had objected earlier, not even knowing how they died!
“Everyone, our Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty has no intention of making things difficult for you. You need only symbolically pay a single Spirit Seed, and we guarantee you’ll be able to spend the night safely within this gathering place!”
Just as the crowd before the main entrance fell into silent stillness, a light chuckle was timely transmitted out from within the gathering place. This voice was mixed with rolling Yuan Energy, finally echoing endlessly before the gathering place.
Upon perceiving that the Yuan Energy pressure within this voice was even stronger than that of the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm burly man ahead, quite a few people’s faces immediately surged with a trace of shock.
Peak Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm?
Qin Yichen’s expression condensed as his gaze looked toward the depths of the gathering place. He had not expected that even in this outermost gathering place, they would encounter a Peak Mid Stage Martial Emperor.
This level of strength could completely crush people like them who came from regions with the Six Imperial Dynasties. No wonder the Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty dared to control the gathering point, they were truly not weak.
At the entrance, several groups of people all fell silent for a while. After a long moment, a few discerning individuals suppressed the fury and frustration in their hearts, and after paying one Spirit Seed, entered the gathering place.
Watching the sky gradually darken, if they did not find a foothold soon, there would likely be no small danger.
Qin Yichen also followed behind the several groups ahead, and after symbolically paying three Spirit Seeds, they too were able to smoothly enter the gathering place.
Within the gathering place, there were basically no structures. Only at the very centre were three stone platforms, which were also the most eye-catching location.
What made Qin Yichen somewhat surprised was that at this moment, on those three stone platforms stood three figures, each possessing formidable aura fluctuations. Any one of those auras was not weaker than that of the Mid Stage Martial Emperor man at the entrance earlier!
Furthermore, the youth on the central stone platform had an even more magnificent aura. Just looking at him once gave one a somewhat suffocating sense of oppression. Clearly, that voice from before had originated from this youth’s mouth.
At this moment, within this gathering point, there were already several dozen figures who had all casually found places to rest. After all, once daybreak came, they would still need to rush to Heart Trial City, and along that route, there wouldn’t be such a comfortable environment for them to recuperate.
Qin Yichen and his companions also didn’t attract anyone’s attention. Casually finding a quiet place, they sat down cross-legged.
Watching the gradually dimming sky, all three quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had reached a gathering place before nightfall descended.
Due to an entire day of traveling, Qin Yichen’s mind and spirit had been in a tense state throughout. Now that he had quieted down, he somewhat impatiently absorbed the magnificent World Energy.
Still at the Peak Stage Martial King Realm, his cultivation could barely count for anything in this gathering place. Looking around, among ten people, at least half were Martial Emperors!
“Sky Elephant Imperial Dynasty, what sort of thing is that? If this Young Pavilion Master had brought people from our Sect, with just these people, they’d still want to control a gathering point?”
After sitting down, Liu Yun seemed to still feel dissatisfied in his heart about submissively paying the Spirit Seed. However, he clearly also harbored no small wariness in his heart, deliberately keeping his voice very low.
Night gradually shrouded this land. In the sky above, a crescent Moon hung suspended, and what made one’s scalp tingle was that this crescent Moon displayed a blood-red colour!
Streams of dark-red moonlight poured down from the sky, and roars of violent beasts rose and fell continuously! Even within that magnificent World Energy, there existed a type of extremely uncomfortable savage aura!
In the midst of cultivation, Qin Yichen’s brows also furrowed slightly. That savage aura mixed within the World Energy, causing the Yuan Energy within his body to become somewhat restlessly agitated.
However, with the circulation of the Spirit Body Technique, flowing through from his Dantian, that savage aura completely dispersed, and even that restless energy settled down.
Regarding this, Qin Yichen did not think too much about it.
“Ahhh!”
However, at this moment, within the originally quiet gathering place, a miserable scream suddenly rang out!
