Chapter 832 - Grade-3 Ruin

In the dusky desolate land that had a huge ravine, there were savage marks that made this entire region seem horrifying.

A chilling pressure had also spread out to every corner in this region.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, there were clear whizzes of wind that resounded, breaking the chilled desolation. From far away, the dusky sky was torn apart as an army at a scale of a few thousand streaked across the horizon.

This army was donned in black armour and the Spiritual Energy around them seemed to be in harmony with their movements, spitting out a cold Battle Will.

Before the army were two figures that travelled at a decent speed, they were Mu Chen and Nine Nether.

“According to the map that the Ruler gave us, the ruins should be in the northwest. We’ll reach there in another half-day.” Nine Nether swept her glance around, before looking at Mu Chen, and smiled.

“Although we have not seen that ruin yet, it should be a Grade-3 Ruin.”

“Grade-3 Ruin?” Mu Chen was briefly stunned.

“In the past, the Hunting War would classify the ruins by level. Aside from several small ones that couldn’t be classified a grade, the ruins here are classified in three levels. Grade-3 being the lowest and Grade-1 being the highest.”

Nine Nether explained, “Beyond Grade-1 Ruins would be the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasuries. But the Earth Sovereign Realm Treasuries are hidden in the Fallen Battlefield, protected by the Spiritual Array from the Fallen Battlefield. Not only can it be deeply hidden, but it will also be extremely troublesome to open it.”

“The ruin that we’re heading towards should be a Grade-3 Ruin. Hoho, it’s considered to be at mid-level, so it was worth us to make our move.”

Mu Chen nodded, “Then, will that Grade-3 Ruin be eyed by others as well?”

Nine Nether’s brows knitted as she answered, “There will naturally be others eyeing it. Every single opening of the Fallen Battlefield, the terrain would be greatly affected by the Spiritual Energy storm. So, in the past, the maps were practically useless. The map we have right now is not accurate, so we cannot rule out the possibility of others finding it as well.”

“The only benefit we have is that we can take advantage of the decisive moment and see if we can snatch the Grade-3 Ruin before the others, then refine the Fallen Origin Pellet and swiftly leave this place.”

Hearing her words, Mu Chen shrugged. It looked like there was nothing much to be said and they need to be prepared to fight at any moment. There were too many people in the Fallen Battlefield, and he didn’t believe that there weren’t any fortunate fellows that would manage to find it first.

Mu Chen tapped his feet in the air and abruptly increased his speed. At his rear, the Nine Nether Troop had increased their speeds as they turned into countless streaks of light, flew across the horizon, and quickly followed behind.

When Mu Chen’s group was moving towards the ruin indicated on the map, they finally sensed that the curtains of the Hunting Wall had been opened. In this half-day’s time, they encountered nearly ten groups of people. Before they could even find a ruin, some of those groups already had conflicts and fought, since the violent Spiritual Energy from their fights caused the entire region to tremble.

Mu Chen’s group wasn’t a small-scale one, so they naturally caused many fearful gazes to be directed at them. But, generally speaking, there weren’t any obstructions in their journey.

After all, the refined Battle Will emanated by the Nine Nether Troop made others know that this troop wasn’t something that could be nurtured by ordinary forces.

In the Northern Region, wanting to nurture such a powerful troop would require a huge amount of resources. Judging from the Nine Nether Troop’s bearings, anyone could tell that they weren’t something that those lower forces could nurture. Therefore, no one dared to provoke them. It was so much so that they didn’t even dare to follow them from afar. Anyone that could enter the Fallen Battlefield wasn’t a fool, so they naturally knew that recklessly following others was a taboo.

Another half a day later, under their unhindered journey, Mu Chen’s group finally started to slow down their speed.

This region was extremely desolate, with the earth presented in grey, causing the oppressive atmosphere to be even denser. Furthermore, after entering this region, Mu Chen could clearly sense the chilled atmosphere here was even heavier.

“We should be reaching it soon.” Nine Nether exchanged a look with Mu Chen and gave a hand signal. The Nine Nether Troop slowed down their speed as they cast their keen gazes over this land.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether moved as they flew up to a lone peak and their view instantly widened. What appeared before their eyes was a black wetland with dense pitch-black aura endlessly pouring out from those black palaces before gathering together, forming into huge black vortices above those palaces.

“These pitch-black auras are the Fallen Origin Auras. They can be refined into Fallen Origin Pellets!”

Mu Chen looked at those vortices and his gaze lit up as he chuckled, “Looks like the Fallen Origin Aura here is extremely thick, we should be able to refine a hundred Fallen Origin Pellets. It can be barely counted as a Grade-3 Ruin.”

Mu Chen was a little curious as he looked at those black vortices. Those black vortices seemed to contain boundless Spiritual Energy. However, those Spiritual Energies were extremely eerie. They were unique energies formed from the innumerable experts’ death wills that had fallen here. They were also necessary to refine the Fallen Origin Pellet.

Mu Chen retracted his gaze as he waved his hand. His figure flew down the peak with the Nine Nether Troop following behind him like a tidal wave as they landed on the wetland.

However, just when Mu Chen was about to make his move in this wetland, his and Nine Nether’s expressions suddenly changed as they narrowed their eyes with dangerous lights flashing through them.

That’s because, at this moment, they could sense the sudden emergence of numerous Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Furthermore, the objective of those Spiritual Energy fluctuations was this area.

Just as Mu Chen had expected, this Grade-3 Ruin had already been discovered by others.

“Looks like this ruin is not so easy to seize.” Mu Chen helplessly shrugged his shoulders at Nine Nether.

“Hmph, I’ll see who’s daring enough to snatch from my Nine Nether Palace.” Nine Nether coldly snorted as a chill covered her face. Clearly, she was a little enraged.

Mu Chen smiled, he wasn’t in a hurry. He remained still and did not have any intention of seizing that Fallen Origin Aura right now. That’s because it took some time to refine the Fallen Origin Pellet, and if they were disrupted by external matters, it would pose huge problems to the refining process.

Behind the two of them, the Nine Nether Troop clearly knew that there was someone interfering with their harvest and the warriors of the Nine Nether Troop’s eyes flashed with ferocious light.

Rustle! Rustle!

Mu Chen’s group waited for a few minutes, before the silence in this region was broken by the whizzes of wind. Mu Chen raised his head and saw a large group of light figures flying over, before they landed on the surrounding lone peaks.

Clearly, those that came weren’t from an ordinary force, since their scale wasn’t small and had a rather powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation around them. They cannot be underestimated.

Mu Chen maintained a calm expression as he looked over.

“Haha, looks like we’re pretty lucky to find a Grade-3 Ruin!”

“Looks like someone is here before us…”

“What a powerful troop… looks like the Nine Nether Palace of the Great Havenlaw Domain.”

“…What luck to have encountered a metal plate.”

“……”

When this troop appeared in this region, they naturally noticed the Nine Nether Troop, which was outside the wetland. Furthermore, they had keen eyes as well, since they swiftly recognised the origin of Mu Chen’s group. Immediately, the faces of many changed, since a peak force like the Great Havenlaw Domain was rather powerful in the eyes of other forces.

If it was normally in the Northern Region, they would naturally not dare to provoke the other party. But, right now, the Fallen Battlefield was too chaotic and the prestige of peak forces had decreased by quite a bit. Therefore, even if they were a little fearful, their eyes were flickering as well.

Mu Chen looked at that group with indifference and said with his voice wrapped in Spiritual Energy, “I’m Mu Chen of the Great Havenlaw Domain. This ruin is first found by us, the Great Havenlaw Domain. I wish for you guys to give me face and do not interrupt.”

“Mu Chen? He’s the Third Ranker of the Dragon-Phoenix Record, Mu Chen?!”

“Oh? He’s the dark horse that had a brilliant display in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, Mu Chen?”

“…”

Revealing his name, it immediately attracted some response. Evidently, Mu Chen’s fame had caused quite a billows in the Northern Region these days.

Those people exchanged looks with some intentions of retreating. After all, the reputation of the Great Havenlaw Domain and Mu Chen made them know that this Nine Nether Troop was extremely powerful and it wouldn’t be an easy matter for them to snatch from the mouth of a tiger.

When Mu Chen saw the intentions of retreat in the eyes of the other party, his expression slightly loosened up. However, just when he thought that he could deal with this matter without shedding blood, a ridiculing laughter suddenly rang out that sounded like a bolt of lightning, surging over from the horizon.

“Haha, a mere brat dares to be so arrogant? Is the Great Havenlaw Domain very powerful? It’s a question if it can still remain standing after this Hunting War. Stop trying to wear a tiger’s skin and scare others. Others might be afraid of you, but my Dragon Serpent Sect is not!”

When the laughter rang out, whistles of wind resounded as a huge group of light figures streaked over and landed in this area.

Raising his head, Mu Chen’s face turned dark when he saw the approaching light figure.
