Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1559 - Sealed Land

They all knew that the Hell Demon Realm had launched a massive invasion of the Heavenly Realm during the middle ancient ages. A great war broke out between the two realms. Countless experts fell in battle, including many Sage realm powerhouses.

The Demon Realm’s invasion in the middle ancient ages was the most intense conflict since the two world-ending wars of the primordial ancient era and the early ancient ages.

That war further fragmented the already-incomplete laws of the Great Dao in the Heavenly Realm. The bloodlines of many Sages were completely destroyed in this war, and the primeval qi was polluted, shattered into nothingness.

Both the Demon Realm and the Heavenly Realm poured an immense amount of resources and manpower into that war. The casualties were countless. Although the Heavenly Realm ultimately repelled the Demon Realm’s invasion, the war left them greatly weakened, never fully recovering since.

Because of this war, the Heavenly Realm lost many of its already scarce Sages. With the laws of the Great Dao further fragmented, attaining enlightenment became incredibly difficult.

Three hundred thousand years had passed, and the Heavenly Realm still hadn’t regained its strength, becoming a relatively weaker realm among the myriad realms.

The sea region had also been invaded by the demon race in the past, and many powers there had been annihilated.

An expert of the deep-sea giant shark tribe immediately went up and said in flattery, “It’s actually an ancient battlefield! There must be countless treasures and opportunities within. This time, Crown Prince will surely soar to the heavens in one go and trample all others under his feet. In the future, he’ll unite the sea region and rule over it!”

Everyone understood that the divine arts, once wielded by ancient powerhouses, were far stronger than most techniques available today. Obtaining even one of them could allow a person to soar to the skies.

The fallen experts might also have left behind all kinds of treasures. If one obtained and refined any of them, their strength would skyrocket in an instant, which was much faster than painstakingly cultivating divine arts and secret techniques.

As for the natural treasures of heaven and earth that could be found within, there was no need to mention them.

Most of those who perished at the ancient battlefield were top experts. After their deaths, their flesh and blood could nurture unimaginable treasures.

Their flesh and blood itself were already a rare treasure, precious divine materials seldom seen in the world.

Thinking up until this point, the crowd’s breathing grew clearly heavier.

Ancient battlefield! Chen Fan thought.

In this world, fierce battles were taking place at almost every moment. Once a truly terrifying war broke out, countless lives would be lost in mere instants. After an unimaginably long time had passed, such slaughterfields could turn into ancient battlefields.

It was the same back at the Tianwu Continent. However, the ancient battlefields there were nothing like those in the Heavenly Realm.

These ancient battlefields could either be great opportunities or lands of certain death. Some people obtained countless treasures within, but even more met tragic ends.

“By now, the major forces have already received word and are rushing here. The seal will open very soon. I have no time to gather more people from the tribe, so I had no choice but to summon you all here.” Shark Crown Prince said evenly, “I’ve already sent a message to the tribe. They’ll send Immortal Kings over very soon. When this matter is over, you will get your share of the benefit—so long as you survive.”

The crowd immediately grew excited.

Chen Fan was also shocked inwardly as he eavesdropped. Immortal Kings from the Shark Crown Prince’s tribe were on the way, and that would make things more complicated for him.

“Those people from the crocodile tribe actually tried to block everyone out. How foolish of them. We won’t do such stupid things. We’ll fight for the benefits with our strength.”

The deep-sea giant shark tribe’s experts chanted in agreement.

“Right, exactly. We won’t stoop to despicable methods like the poison flame giant crocodile tribe!”

“Right, right!”

Shark Crown Prince swept his gaze across them and said, “This time, quite a few Immortal Kings may be called into action. The barrier outside can’t withstand their combined might. We can’t enter the deepest areas of the sealed land, but there are still plenty of benefits to be obtained in the outer area. As long as you all do a good job, I won’t be stingy with your rewards.”

The deep-sea giant shark tribe experts expressed their loyalty one after another.

“We’ll gladly serve the Crown Prince!”

“We’ll climb a mountain of blades or jump into a sea of flames for the Crown Prince!”

Shark Crown Prince led the group and advanced rapidly.

After flying for about two hours, the group finally arrived at the sealed land. It was an underground world.

“Be careful, the demonic qi here is very intense,” warned Shark Crown Prince before transforming his law power into a barrier to shield himself.

The others also put up their protective law power, warding off the surging demonic qi.

The demonic qi here was more than ten times denser than outside the herbal garden. Inhaling a single breath of it could make them lose all reason, turn them bloodthirsty, and vicious.

“It’s here?” Chen Fan saw the underground entrance and narrowed his eyes, sensing the fluctuations emanating from it that made his heart race.

The underground world’s entrance was like an enormous beast’s mouth, waiting for people to enter.

Suddenly, another group approached from a different direction. It was Young Master Hai Long and members of the Heavenly Fiend Sect. They had also heard the news and rushed over with their own forces. No one was willing to give up such an opportunity.

Nor was it limited to these king-level forces. Other cultivators who had entered the herbal garden were also flying over in small groups.

Obviously, information regarding the sealed land had already spread far and wide. Many people were aware of it and were rushing here.

They had busied themselves for over three months and had not obtained anything worthwhile. Now that an ancient battlefield had been discovered, they would regret it for the rest of their lives if they missed such an opportunity.

Swish, swish, swish.

Numerous figures came from all directions and rushed into the entrance of the underground world.

Chen Fan also raised his protective law power and entered.

The passageway wound downward as demonic wind howled past his ears. Not long after, a sealed world appeared before his eyes. It was a massive barrier that enveloped thousands of kilometers underground, perhaps even more.

Through this barrier, he could see the demons within. Those demons were still alive and emitted even more intense demonic qi.

On one side of the seal, a large crack extended from top to bottom as if an enormous claw had torn it open. Endless demonic wind blew out from the crack, howling like evil demons.
