Chapter 731: Soldier Of War, An Unexpected Benefit

The Battlefield was expansive, divided into nine zones, further divided by regions and various terrains, from muddy, to flat ground, to mountainous, to littered with various bodies of water, to filled with foliage and tree life. These environments were diverse, yet they were all tainted by the murky air, the turbid light, and horrific environmental conditions.

In these circumstances, the water was poisonous, the plants dispersed toxic spores into the air, the mountains were prone to collapse at a moment's notice, and the flat ground was a location without cover or protective sightlines. They all held their own disadvantages requiring armies to adapt or suffer.

However, few were aware among the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone that the Battlefield that they risked their lives in, to fight for resources and a better future, divided by racial lineage, isn't limited to just nine zones. There were actually ten. This tenth zone had a unique name, classified almost as a secondary Battlefield rather than a tenth zone. It was called the Nexus Battlefield.

It was an existence that only those who qualified could participate in, specifically to those who've collected a certain amount of merits and War Souls, typically reserved for repeaters and warmongering cultivators that thrived in the Battlefield. They thirsted for war, blood, death, and excitement. They slaughtered freely and without mercy.

The Nexus Battlefield itself wasn't large. In fact, it was essentially small by comparison to the others, roughly two hundred square miles. It was littered with a diverse environment that mirrored the nine zones. In fact, if one were to observe the entirety of the nine zones, they would notice a stark similarity between designs. The Nexus Battlefield could be considered a miniaturized replica.

However, there were two notable differences. The edges of the Nexus Battlefield was a vast, swirling wall of dark violet and silver light while the Battlefield seemingly was encapsulated in murky clouds and a simulated Dark Void beyond it, endless and reflecting existential chaos. Going too far was the same as entering chaotic space.

However, the Nexus Battlefield wasn't limitless and had defined boundaries. This boundary was the very same wall that reached beyond the limits of one's sights vertically. However, if one stared for too long at this wall, they may lose their sense of balance, yet it was still an astonishingly beautiful sight.

The other difference was that at the center of this environment, at the very center, there was a black monolith thirteen meters high and covered in silver characters. If Wei Wuyin saw this monolith, he would recognize it as the very same monolith from his first and only vision of the Battlefield.

Wei Wuyin was in a location of flat ground as far as the eye could see, leaving visible sightlines in all directions and no protections of any sort. This zone was called the Earthen Horizon Zone, and there was a similar environment within the Nexus Battlefield.

Within that specific zone, a figure shimmered into existence as if he had been brought into focus after a strenuous effort to squint.

Bam!

Wei Wuyin fell from a few feet and crashed against the hardened surface. He smoothly landed in a half-kneeling position. At the moment, his body was emitting a faint grey steam that dispersed into the surroundings and vanished.

'So that's what chaotic space is?' Wei Wuyin's first thought wasn't to observe his surroundings or question whoever brought him here, but relish in the sensation of traversing through chaotic space. In truth, he was merely shuttled through while protected, but he could see it. It was a strange, surreal experience.Fôll0w current novÊls o/n n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(c/o/m)

Was this when his clothes changed? But it couldn't have been too long since then, right?

Wei Wuyin found this absolutely terrifying. He felt as if he was put to sleep, and he hadn't even known it, feeling as if he was aware the entire time. He could even break the time freeze of the Heavenly Daos, how the hell did this go unnoticed?!

Eden analyzed, "Our body has been pushed to its limits deliberately."

"Our?' Wei Wuyin asked curiously. It was the first time Eden has referred to his body as 'our' body before.

Eden clarified, "Not just yours. I feel reinforced, my Astral Core."

"I do too! I do too!" Ori echoed. It felt itself abruptly strengthened. Its Astral Cores didn't enlarge, but it became reinforced resulting in a far more durable state. It was an inexplicable development. They hadn't sensed it at all! It just happened.

"Tch." King sounded out in agreement.

"I didn't sense anything..." Kratos felt uncertain. It was a Void Dragon, its senses and instincts were impeccably precise. It could sense the slightest shift in molecules in the air if it wanted, yet it was entirely unaware of how this happened.

Wei Wuyin was unable to explain it either. But the world was filled with things beyond their current knowledge, and whoever or whatever did this must be far, far beyond their scope of understanding. Just a few decades ago, he was unaware of what it meant to ascend beyond Mortal Limits, but today, he had these beings following his orders as a mere mortal.

There were far too many incredible things out there, and since the Realm of Sages seemed to be so far away, then there were existences harnessing power that he hadn't even begun to understand, rivaling or exceeding the Heavenly Daos. Even Fuxi had summoned his will without warning, dispelling the Heavenly Daos aggression without issue.

He inspected his internal body and realized that his body was truly pushed to its limits, not of his realm, but of his physical limits that matched his current physical energy quality. Wei Wuyin had used unprecedented alchemical products to elevate his innate physical energies, but this was regulated by his Void Dragon Bloodline, not his physical body itself, so if he used too much energy.

To refine his physical body would be similar to refining a physique, a subject he was still fiercely ignorant of. Well, he had a few ideas. In a way, his body had gained a physique that matched his physical energy levels without an attribute or specific quality.

Was this a benefit for qualifying in the Nexus Battlefield?

Wei Wuyin deeply inhaled. Just as he was about to open his eyelids to expose his silver eyes to the world, he heard an approaching voice suffused with playfulness.

"Oy! I didn't think I'd find another one here. It's my lucky day, huh? And a newbie no less, perfect!"
