Chapter 255 Ancient Battlefield
Three days passed in a flash, and the trial finally began.

The entire ancient city became very quiet on this day, and no shops were open on the usually bustling streets.

More than a hundred people gathered in the city square, including Chai Xin and his eight companions. The scene was very similar to when the second city trial began.

"Master, Yan Cangqiong has been holding back all this time. I'm afraid he will do something to the trial."

Li Danxi took a step forward and spoke cautiously.

Chai Xinzheng raised his head calmly, looking at the familiar old figure in the air, with a hint of teasing in his eyes: "Be more confident, and remove the word 'I'm afraid'."

Li Danxi was startled for a moment, then realized what he meant and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The trial of the 30th city is not easy to begin with. If the guide interferes, I'm afraid the danger we will encounter will be greater than we imagined."

He was naturally aware of Chai Xin's strength, and no matter how difficult the trial was, he would have no problem passing it.

But the seven of them were much worse.

If Yan Cangqiong intentionally interfered and wanted to influence their ability to pass the trial, it would be extremely easy.

"It's okay. If you really encounter danger, you can hide in the Lihuo Divine Furnace as usual. After I eliminate the enemies, you can participate in the trial."

Chai Xin stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly.

"I'm not afraid of him taking action, I'm just afraid of him not taking action. If he dares to act recklessly, I will kill him!"

Li Danxi and others felt relieved after hearing this.

Yan Cangqiong is a guide who is almost at the level of a high-level Saint King. Even if they are gifted, they will almost certainly die if they encounter him.

Even if one is an invincible saint, he cannot be a match for any saint king.

Even a peerless genius like Di Tian could only compete with the Saint King at the level of a Saint.

Wanting to win the battle is still impossible.

It is difficult to find a super evildoer like Chai Xin even if you search through ancient history.

"After entering the trial ground, everyone is responsible for their own life and death. If anyone wants to quit, it's not too late now!"

After Yan Cangqiong spoke a long paragraph of high-sounding words, he finally began to wrap up.

The square was completely silent. Those who could come here could be said to be the elites of the entire ancient trial road. Whether in terms of talent or belief, they were the best among the geniuses of the human race.

How could they retreat just because of Yan Cangqiong's warning?

"In that case, open the domain gate immediately!"

Seeing this, Yan Cangqiong waved his sleeves and disappeared on the spot.

From beginning to end, he never once looked in Chai Xin's direction, as if he had no idea that the other party was here.

But everyone knows that this is impossible.

This is Yan Cangqiong's territory. How could anything that happened be hidden from him?
The more he pretended, the more Chai Xin felt that he had something to hide.

Under normal circumstances, when enemies meet, even if they don't confront each other immediately, how can they just ignore each other?
"Later, no matter where or when, if you sense my divine consciousness, do not resist."

Before entering the domain gate, Chai Xin gave one last reminder through voice transmission.

Li Danxi and others nodded solemnly to show that they understood.

On the Ancient Trial Road, most of the trial sites will be reached through temporarily opened space passages, and only those extremely remote places will use domain gates.

After traveling through the starry sky for a long time, everyone finally arrived at a desolate universe.

In the boundless void in front of them, a yellow-brown planet was slowly rotating, flickering with a faint light in the desolation, and an ancient breath was blowing in the air.

"This star is the site of this trial. It contains a mystery. If one can comprehend it, then he or she has passed the trial."

The leader of this trial is a commander of the 50th city. He is also very powerful, and his every move is impressive.

"However, this is an ancient battlefield, not only is it filled with deathly aura, but there are also many powerful descendants of alien races that have survived to this day. They have been imprisoned for many years and are filled with resentment. You should take care of yourself. In ten days, regardless of success or failure, you must meet here. If you fail to meet here within the deadline, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

The moment the words fell, the commander disappeared with a team of soldiers.

Many people turned their eyes to Chai Xin, assuming that he was the strongest among this group of trial-takers and wanted to see what his plans were.

However, Chai Xin did not hesitate for a moment. He took Li Danxi and seven others and turned into streams of light, falling towards the planet below.

"This Chai Wudi is really a man of great skill and courage. He rushed in without saying a word."

"He is a being who can defeat the Saint King. Over the past few years, his strength has become even more unfathomable. Why would he be so cautious about a mere trial of thirty cities?"

"I don't think so. But don't forget who is the guide of this city..."

"Shut up! If you want to get into trouble, don't take us with you!"

After a brief discussion, many figures rushed towards the yellow-brown star.

However, these people all chose a different direction from Chai Xin and others.

Obviously, they were both worried about being involved in the dispute between the other and Yan Cangqiong.

Even if it is only a possibility and may not actually happen, a battle between two beings with the combat power of Saint Kings, even if it is just the aftermath, may cause their deaths.

No one with a normal mind would want to join in such excitement, not to mention that they are the most elite geniuses of the human race.

The yellow-brown star is not very big, and appears to be only about two-thirds the size of the Earth, not to mention compared with the giant Big Dipper.

However, the gravity here is enormous, at least seven or eight times that of the Earth.

Fortunately, those who can reach this point are not ordinary people. At the very least, they are cultivators at the peak of the Way of Slashing. Of course, they will not be troubled by this gravity.

The desolate and vast land, looking far away you can even see the curved horizon, which is an unimaginable scenery in Beidou.

There was no life in the surroundings, and there was swirling black fog everywhere. Even the soil was a faint crimson color, as if it was mixed with the dried blood of some creature.

All kinds of huge corpses of strange shapes can be seen everywhere. Traces of time flow on the white bones, and it is obvious that they have been dead for many years.

Even with Chai Xin's extensive knowledge, he still could not recognize the races of most of these corpses.

Of course, as they continued to move forward, they also saw quite a few human skeletons, but they were also huge in size, with the smallest being more than ten feet long.

There were also some broken weapons scattered around, and if you accidentally stepped on them, they would immediately turn into dust.

This was obviously a battlefield from ancient times, with both humans and alien races involved, and most of them were extremely powerful, so the battle was extremely brutal.

Although he could not recognize all the races of these ancient creatures, Chai Xin could clearly feel that each of them was extremely powerful when they were alive, and even not weaker than he is now!
In other words, among these corpses, there are at least beings at the Saint King level, and some have even reached the Great Saint realm!

Even Chai Xin was shocked, let alone others.

"All of you, follow me. Don't move around or touch anything at will. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I might not be able to rescue you in time."

Chai Xin opened his eye between his eyebrows, and a faint golden divine light penetrated the void, sweeping across the sky and the earth, gradually peeping out some clues. The terrain of the mountains and rivers on the stars is very unusual, and there are dragon veins almost everywhere.

Unfortunately, after endless years, the vitality of the entire planet has disappeared. Even though it was once prosperous, it is now like a dead place.

Chai Xin could see that this place was indeed a beautiful fairy star in ancient times, and it must have given birth to some astonishing treasures.

It could be a miraculous medicine, magical material, or some kind of powerful creature. It is difficult to determine based on the traces left now.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the reason why the human race and many other races fought a war here was to fight for that rare treasure.

This is a magical treasure that was created with the power of the entire planet and even the surrounding starry sky. Its attraction is naturally extremely amazing.

Otherwise, a group of great saints and sage kings wouldn’t be fighting to the death.

"The core area where the treasure was originally hidden should be in the mountain ahead."

Chai Xin did not fly in the air, but ran around on the earth, using the power of Yuan Tianshi to explore the veins of the earth and the terrain of the mountains.

In the end, he identified the place on the planet that once had the richest spiritual energy and the most vibrant life.

"If there is a mystery hidden, that area should be the place where the sense is clearest and can be better understood."

Everything Chai Xin did was naturally to pass the trial here as quickly as possible.

Only then can he wholeheartedly fight against Yan Cangqiong's conspiracy that may emerge at any time.

Several people were slowly approaching the mountain in the distance. Suddenly, a long roar came out of nowhere, shaking the space within a radius of tens of thousands of miles and causing their figures to pause.

"It came from that mountain. Judging from its power, it is definitely a saint-level existence. It seems that the place is really a den of dragons and tigers."

Zhu Zifeng frowned and looked at him, speaking in a cautious tone.

"Could it be that someone realized faster than us that that is the core of this star?" Chen Yan asked in surprise.

They all knew that Chai Xin had been promoted to the legendary Yuan Tianshi. When it came to finding dragon points and locating acupuncture points, there were probably only a handful of people in this world who could be compared with him.

Even some great saints and quasi-emperors may not be able to compare to him.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that someone has already got there first and set foot in that area.

"This trial planet has existed for countless years and has received many trial participants. Perhaps some people already know the secrets here, and it is not impossible that they even have a map."

Li Danxi pondered for a moment and slowly expressed his opinion.

Chai Xin nodded, this situation was not uncommon.

Although due to some regulations on the ancient human trial road, few people will leak the details of the trial field, but there are always some exceptions.

For example, between father and son, or between master and apprentice, the secret is passed on orally and no third party hears it. Who can stop it or hold anyone accountable?

In fact, there are some monks who make a living by selling information about trial sites, and they often hang out among the major ancient cities.

Of course, these are all underground businesses that are not allowed to be seen in the light, and no one dares to do them openly.

In short, it's like cheating on an exam.

However, cheating is not possible in the true sense in most trials, so the top management of Gu Lu turns a blind eye to this in most cases.

Just like the trial in the 50th city, one must comprehend the mysteries hidden in this place. Even though some guys know some extra information, the final comprehension still depends on personal understanding and opportunity.

If one's aptitude is too poor, even if one sits in a place where the mysterious mark is clearest, one may not be able to comprehend anything.

"The fight ahead is intense, do you want to go and watch?"

Hu Yue, who was most interested in watching the fun, looked at the mountains ahead and suggested with some anticipation.

Chai Xin shook his head and rejected his idea: "How can we have the time to do that! Let's go around and head straight to the core area."

Others also rolled their eyes at Hu Yue. He was still interested in watching the fun during the trial. His train of thought was really weird.

What's more, Yan Cangqiong might be watching secretly!

"Danxi's words reminded me..."

The moment everyone started again, Chai Xin seemed to realize something and suddenly stopped.

"Since even a trial-taker can possibly get information about this star, how can the old villain Yan, who is the guide of the 50th city, not get it?"

"Master, what you mean is that the old guy may have set a trap in the core area and is waiting for us to step into it?"

Zhu Zifeng was quick-witted and immediately understood what Chai Xin meant.

Seeing Chai Xin nod slightly, the others were also shocked.

"You should take shelter in the Lihuo God's furnace first. Otherwise, if they suddenly attack, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you in time."

While Chai Xin was speaking, he had already taken out the Lihuo Divine Furnace and glanced at the few people.

"Okay, Master, you must be careful!"

"Master will win!"

The others did not hesitate and all agreed.

They knew very well that they were not capable of participating in a battle at the Saint King level. If they tried to hold on for the sake of face, they would only hold Chai Xin back.

It would be better to hide in the Lihuo Divine Furnace. With Chai Xin's strength, even if the Great Sage came in person, he might not be able to do anything to him.

Chai Xin's mind moved, and the Lihuo Divine Furnace suddenly shone brightly, fell on the seven people, and absorbed them all.

With no worries in his mind, his pace suddenly quickened a lot.

Silver light flickered slightly at the soles of his feet, and in the blink of an eye he had already traveled a thousand miles and stepped into the mountains.

"Human race, suffer death!"

The moment he stepped in, a loud shout rang out, and the surging divine power wavered like a sea tide, rushing madly from behind a strange rock.

Chai Xin's expression remained unchanged. With his divine eyes and spiritual perception, he had naturally expected this.

He just casually waved his robe sleeves, and the Dao in the sky gathered into a dazzling huge sword energy, which cut through the void in an instant and directly split the whistling wave of divine power.

The momentum of the sword energy did not stop there, but continued forward, slashing towards a six-armed monster that was only a foot tall.

The six-armed monster's entire face was covered with green scales. Seeing that his long-prepared attack was easily broken, a hint of fear emerged in his red eyes.

Especially as the earth-shaking sword energy got closer, the fear in his eyes became more intense.
