Boom—
Across the primordial forest land permeated with an aura of wilderness, a massive golden meteor streaked rapidly through the sky overhead, trailing layers of immense pressure and a rumbling roar.
The divine ship traversed the vast expanse of the Qingyang Domain, swift as a flashing meteor, streaking across layers of void, arriving like lightning.
The Qingyang Domain was simply too vast, its territory bordering on the boundless, measured in hundreds of millions of li, unimaginably huge. Even with a powerhouse at the Saint Treasury Realm personally piloting this Saint Lord-level divine ship, crossing half a major domain could not be accomplished in a short time.
It took a full three days for the group to travel from the southernmost Black Sky Plains to the territory near the east.
After passing through a vast expanse of forested land, they entered a plain. Extending their gaze to the distant horizon, they could vaguely see an endless range of majestic peaks standing at the edge of that land, one after another, each reaching a thousand zhang in height, towering into the clouds, their forms grand and imposing, their aura overwhelming as they stood between heaven and earth.
This was the legendary Domain War battlefield between the Qingyang Domain and the nearby major domains.
Above the vast mountain range, the sky was covered with thick, layered blood clouds that perpetually shrouded that vast region, never dispersing, suffused with a bloody light as if condensed from blood itself, a startling and arresting sight.
Even before getting close, a thick, nauseating stench of blood wafted over from the other side of the mountains, so dense it was almost unbearable.
That was the blood cloud formed from the evaporated blood of countless living beings throughout the ages in the Domain War, never dispersing, perpetually shrouding the vast land of the Domain War battlefield, layer upon layer, oppressing the mind.
Even from afar, one could feel a sense of oppression emanating from the soul.
"Your Highness, this is the Domain War battlefield between the Qingyang Domain and the Xiangyang Domain, Modong Domain, Tianhe Domain, Xueyuan Domain, and Feilong Domain."
Ye Chen stood at the very front of the divine ship, his figure solitary, letting the fierce winds whip his clothes into a fluttering sound. Only his gaze looked toward the farthest distance, profound, as if encompassing everything between heaven and earth.
Slightly behind him stood the Second Commander of the three hundred Wilderness War Riders, Meng Shan, carefully explaining to Ye Chen.
Ever since Ye Chen challenged him a few days ago, shattered his fist with a single punch, nearly blasted apart his battle body, and then displayed his peerless treasure body strength, successively challenging the other two Wilderness War Rider Commanders and completely suppressing them in the aspect of physical battle body they prided themselves on most, all the Wilderness War Riders had been utterly convinced.
Because the three Commanders were the strongest among them. If even they were no match for Ye Chen, the others stood even less chance.
They simply couldn't believe that a young junior like Ye Chen had cultivated his physical battle body to such an extent, surpassing them to a degree they couldn't compare to, unbelievable.
And more importantly, in the following days, Ye Chen set aside his initial arrogance and aloofness, becoming approachable. He personally pointed out flaws in their battle body cultivation. Clearly just a young junior, yet he easily identified their shortcomings and, with a few words, went straight to the core, offering corrections, making them even more convinced.
No wonder Wang Shan looked at the youth with reverence, and why their master Wang Ming had them follow Ye Chen. It turned out this seemingly young Ye Chen was so extraordinary.
Ye Chen nodded, silent, his gaze fixed on the Domain War battlefield, saying nothing.
Whoosh—
The massive divine ship soared through the air, soon crossing the forested land, traversing layers of great mountains and colossal peaks, arriving above an incredibly vast crimson plain—the true Domain War battlefield.
As far as the eye could see, this Domain War battlefield was unimaginably vast, impossible to see through or discern its limits at a glance. It was the central buffer zone between six neighboring major domains, a no-man's-land not much smaller than the Black Sky Plains, developed into the current Domain War battlefield between the six major domains, where terrifying battles occurred daily.
On the Qingyang Domain side, ahead on the mountain bodies stood numerous grand palaces and even floating divine islands.
On the ground, countless soldiers were assembled, densely packed, wearing armor and carrying weapons. Additionally, many cultivators stood independently here, warriors dispatched by various forces of the Qingyang Domain specifically to participate in the Domain War. Powerhouses stood in great numbers, uncountable.
There were also countless demonic beasts. The number of warriors in this camp was uncountable, and the warrior numbers of the other five major domains were similarly vast. This was the Domain War.
At this moment, on the bloody battlefield, an army was retreating from the field, its ranks stretched long. It was the army that had fought today, now withdrawing after the battle's conclusion. But many were covered in blood, with severed limbs, broken bodies, shattered armor and weapons. Many could no longer walk off the battlefield alive.
This was the fearsome nature of war.
Boom—
The divine ship carrying Ye Chen and the others descended from the sky, slowly landing in the camp of the Qingyang Domain side. The moment it appeared, it attracted intense attention, for this was a Saint Lord-level divine ship, not something ordinary forces could possess. Moreover, because a large banner was planted on the ship, bearing the words "Black Sky Fourth."
This represented the Fourth Great Bandit of the Eight Great Bandits of Black Sky, Wang Ming's divine ship. Such an existence could absolutely become one of the supreme commanders of a major domain, unless a Heavenly King Invincible appeared.
But Heavenly King Invincibles basically paid no heed to worldly affairs.
The divine ship descended upon this Domain War battlefield and, under Wang Shan's control, landed on one of the massive divine islands—the island where the highest-level powerhouses of the Qingyang Domain gathered.
At this time, many powerhouses had already flown over. They were all top-tier powerhouses renowned across the domain, each either the master or a leading figure of a major force, high-ranking figures on the Qingyang Domain side, of significant weight, not to be underestimated.
Upon Wang Shan's appearance, everyone came forward, cupping their fists: "So it's Fellow Daoist Wang Shan who has arrived. We failed to welcome you from afar."
"With Fellow Daoist Wang Shan's arrival, representing the Fourth Great Bandit Fellow Daoist Wang Ming, our Qingyang Domain side can hold its head high once more this time."
"Indeed, with the arrival of the Fourth Great Bandit's divine ship and Fellow Daoist Wang Shan representing the Fourth Great Bandit, we can immediately suppress several major domains, leaving them speechless."
Many were speaking words of praise. Although this was the Domain War battlefield, a conflict between several major domains, intense large-scale battles did not occur every day. Usually, it was more ordinary combat, minor skirmishes, with existences at the Demi-Saint level and above rarely appearing.
