Inside the God and Demon Battlefield!
A week had passed since entering this world!
In this week, Chen Nan had gained a team of five hundred people behind him!
These were all disciples of the Dao Sect!
They gathered from all directions and eventually met.
"Something's not right, very not right!"
Under the night sky!
Chen Nan's voice was unusually solemn!
"According to what you said, you were all chased here by the corpses of demonic creatures!"
"But if that's the case, why would we meet here?"
"We should have fled in all directions!"
Xuan Yuan Yue, being one of the Five Great Prodigies and having displayed astonishing strength in this competition, naturally became the backbone of everyone's attention!
After all, he had always appeared very steady!
Being by his side, people felt an inexplicable sense of security!
"Junior Brother Xuanyuan, are you implying that our gathering here might be part of a conspiracy?" a middle-aged man asked.
Lu Yuqiu also voiced his opinion: "What Junior Brother Xuanyuan said is very true. Although you were attacked by demonic creatures before, you were merely attacked and driven away, and no one was killed as a result!"
"Don't you find it strange?"
Others exchanged glances!
Shock flickered in their eyes!
Initially, they had only thought they were lucky!
Now, they felt a chilling realization!
Chen Nan said, "When I came, Master told me that there is an entrance connecting to the Demon Realm here, but that entrance has already been sealed by a powerful being!"
"If I'm not mistaken, our final destination should be the sealed place!"
"And the meaning of our existence..."
"Is likely to be sacrificed, and then the seal will be opened!"
As soon as these words were spoken!
Everyone's faces changed!
Initially, they had thought that by gathering with so many fellow disciples, they could help each other and survive here!
But now, an ominous premonition enveloped everyone's hearts!
"What should we do now?"
"The path of cultivation is full of hardships and dangers. I have long been prepared to face death with a generous heart, but I do not wish to be sacrificed!"
Many were filled with fear!
Such a death would be meaningless!
"Junior Brother Xuanyuan, since Senior Uncle Grandmaster told you these things, did he also tell you how to break this predicament?" Lu Yuqiu asked Chen Nan anxiously!
Chen Nan sighed softly, "When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road. We'll take it one step at a time!"
He dared not imagine the consequences if the seal were to be broken!
Although there were eighteen smaller worlds outside Earth, these eighteen smaller worlds were all attached to Earth!
And they shared the same civilization!
In general, the indigenous people of the eighteen smaller worlds would not affect Earth's balance!
The Demon Realm, however, was different!
This was a true alien world!
If the seal were broken, powerful beings from the Demon Realm would undoubtedly enter the thirteenth smaller world!
They might even appear in the mortal world!
At that time, humanity would likely disappear into the vast universe!
"Is there a possibility that three days later, the strong cultivators of our sect will break through the void of the God and Demon Battlefield and rescue us?" someone asked tentatively!
As soon as this was said, many looked over involuntarily!
As if looking at an idiot!
They couldn't believe a normal person would say such a thing!
Although the competition would end in three days, they all had a premonition!
Even after the competition ended, they would not be able to leave this place!
On the evening of the third day!
According to regulations, the competition had ended!
However, no one tore through the sky of the God and Demon Battlefield to rescue them!
------
Five days later!
Chen Nan and the others appeared before a huge rift!
It wasn't that they wanted to come here, but they were driven to this place!
Calling it a rift was perhaps more accurate to describe it as a massive canyon!
The canyon was vast and spread in all directions, resembling a crossroads!
And in the center, there was a circular altar about tens of meters high!
The altar was large, capable of accommodating thousands of people simultaneously!
Around the altar stood ancient, ferocious beast statues!
Without exception, they were all demonic beast statues!
Of course, besides Chen Nan and his group, Yang Tu, Ao Hanye, and Geng Rao had also arrived here!
Each of them had hundreds of people following behind them!
Chen Nan estimated that out of a team of two thousand, there had only been a little over ten casualties in these past few days!
This loss was negligible in the God and Demon Battlefield!
"Where is my cousin Yin Jian?" Ao Hanye asked the young disciple named Zhi Yan!
He knew Yin Jian was with that person, but he never expected to not see him!
Zhi Yan's face showed a trace of nervousness, unsure how to answer!
At this moment!
Chen Nan's voice rang out, "Your cousin, I killed him!"
Ao Hanye was furious, "Just because we had a feud, you would kill him?"
Lu Yuqiu said, "Senior Brother Ao, your cousin Yin Jian and a few others had their minds controlled by the demonic consciousness. They worshipped the demons and were performing a sacrificial ritual!"
"Junior Brother Xuanyuan had no choice but to kill a few of them!"
She felt it was necessary to explain on Chen Nan's behalf!
Ao Hanye's face darkened!
He naturally did not believe Lu Yuqiu's words!
But he was not a match for Xuan Yuan Yue!
At this moment, he could only hide his killing intent in his heart!
"Now is not the time to talk about personal grievances!" Geng Rao said, "We have been in the God and Demon Battlefield for fifteen days, exceeding the ten-day period mentioned by our Sect Master Uncle. I believe all fellow disciples are aware of this!"
"Our current competition has deviated from expectations and control!"
"However, we are in the God and Demon Battlefield, and our sect cannot provide us with rescue!"
"The only thing we can do now is to save ourselves!"
Geng Rao was very low-key among the Five Great Prodigies!
But he was also very intelligent!
Therefore, his words carried significant weight!
He said, "Although we were attacked by many demonic corpses, those were all the work of Soul Devouring Ants, and everyone knows this!"
"However, why would the Soul Devouring Ants drive us from all directions to this sacrificial ground?"
Chen Nan: "To use us for a blood sacrifice and open the demon realm's seal!"
Geng Rao's pupils trembled, and he couldn't help but say, "Junior Brother Xuanyuan, is what you say true?"
Everyone else also looked at Chen Nan involuntarily!
Chen Nan said, "My Master told me this before I left. I believe she wouldn't lie to me!"
Everyone was filled with fear and trepidation!
No one doubted Chen Nan's words!
No!
To be precise, no one doubted Ye Hongyi's words!
After all, she was the daughter of the former Sect Master, and the most mysterious person in the Dao Sect!
"Did Senior Uncle Grandmaster tell you how to break the blood sacrifice?" Geng Rao asked!
Chen Nan: "As long as we don't step onto the altar, we should be fine!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The earth shook and the mountains swayed!
Roaring sounds came from all directions!
Demonic corpses appeared behind them one after another!
They came roaring!
The overwhelming demonic aura made everyone tremble with fear!
Before, they had only encountered attacks from Soul Devouring Ants!
They had not seen such large demonic corpses!
Now that they appeared, was this to force them onto the altar!
