Chapter 1610: Chapter 1480: Void Sky Battlefield

The Void Sky Battlefield is a secret place of the Immortal Academy, hidden in the void, invisible to ordinary people.

For tens of thousands of years, aside from a few instances where Saint Lord Level strong people resolved grudges, the Void Sky Battlefield has never been open to disciples of the academy—this time, it’s a groundbreaking event!

This fully demonstrates the importance the Immortal Academy places on this sparring match!

At dawn, a streak of dawn light pierced the sky and earth, the red sun rose from the horizon, and the sunlight poured down as if draping the entire Immortal Martial Academy in a layer of rosy haze.

In the morning sunlight, the area around the Dragon Tower of the Immortal Martial Academy was already densely packed with people, with the various Di Clans and Holy Lands, and the Wu Shang Sect occupying advantageous positions, and no one dared to approach them.

The outskirts were filled with some loose cultivators who came after hearing the news; apart from super fierce individuals like the Nine Great Bandits, few loose cultivators could stand on equal footing with the Di Clans!

Naturally, the Demon Clan also occupied a favorable position, standing alongside the various major forces!

Around them, there wasn’t a single Human Race member, clearly leaving a vacuum area.

The Saint Lord of the Family of the Martial Emperor stood in the void in simple clothing, appearing no different from ordinary people, but no one dared to underestimate this family, proving Dao with martial arts already represents powerful combat power, and the Eight Styles of Martial Reversal pushed attack power to the extreme!

The Saint Lord of the Human Emperor’s family also arrived, shrouded in a layer of Mystic Light, appearing like an Emperor among people, exuding an intimidating aura!

"Buddha..."

With a chant, several Golden Arhats appeared, followed by a dozen young monks, each with a Buddha Light disc behind their heads, mysterious and powerful.

"These are people from the Western Regions Buddha Demon Sect!"

Many exclaimed, among the Five Domains, only the Western Region is particularly mysterious, generally not interacting with others, unexpectedly even the Western Regions Buddha Demon Sect arrived this time.

The large discs of Buddha Light behind those young monks’ heads are a secret technique of the Buddha Demon Sect, called the Buddha Light Rebirth Wheel, which allows one’s thoughts to be undying, and the Buddha Body to exist eternally.

Naturally, by reversing the Buddha skill, when the Rebirth Wheel turns black, Buddha becomes Demon, combat power skyrockets, almost immortal, unless one can obliterate their Buddha Light Rebirth Wheel, but that’s extremely difficult!

There are quite a few secret techniques capable of rapidly repairing damaged bodies, each exceedingly powerful, the Buddha Light Rebirth Wheel, One Thought Undying, Eternal Body, and the Phoenix Nirvana Technique Ye Fan obtained, all belong to the realm of Forbidden Secret Techniques!

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the distance as members of the Emperor Clan Ling Family arrived, a massive, overwhelming presence, hundreds came, it seemed this time the Ling Family deployed their entire strength, even several Supreme Elder level strong people came!

This sparring match holds significant meaning for both the Immortal Academy and the Imperial Academy, but it means even more for the Ling Family!

This battle will determine the ownership of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown, an Emperor Weapon, and also the Ling Family’s status among the Di Clan, they couldn’t take it lightly!

Although they don’t have an Emperor Weapon, the Ling Family’s foundation is extremely powerful, upon arrival, they immediately occupied a favorable position, and no one dared to compete with them, the strength of the Di Clan was fully evident!

"Why haven’t the people of the Immortal Academy and Imperial Academy arrived yet?"

Suddenly, someone grew impatient and muttered.

Following that person’s words, in a floating palace of the Immortal Academy, the Imperial Academy Director, Monk Dao Yan, led ten top disciples stepping through the sky, walking towards the Dragon Tower.

The top ten disciples of the Imperial Academy were mostly from the strongest heirs of the Di Clans or the Saint Heirs of the Holy Lands, and the Wu Shang Sect, all young geniuses selected from thousands, each possessing strength to fight across levels, the momentum they projected together was extremely terrifying!

"Can Ye Fan win?"

In the crowd, Tong Qianchen was full of worry, her bright eyes continuously searching through the crowd.

At this moment, Ye Fan and the disciples of the Immortal Academy hadn’t arrived yet, she stood abreast with Zhang Taiyi and Shen Tu.

This time, to cheer and support Ye Fan, the Xuanwu Sect almost came in full force, not only did the three of them arrive, but Sect Leader Tong Tianhao and Great Elder Wu Xinhai were also present.

Additionally, out of the three Supreme Elders, two came, leaving only one to guard the sect, Wang Qingshan and Shen Ximen were not far away.

With the status of Xuanwu Sect, they could not possibly contend against the Di Clans, Wu Shang Sect, and Holy Lands, they could only remain on the fringes.

"The Immortal Academy is nothing but a bunch of ants, they are doomed to lose this sparring match!" declared a disciple from the Imperial Academy.

As disciples of the Imperial Academy, they hailed from the Di Clans, Holy Lands, and Wu Shang Sect, naturally not putting the Immortal Academy in their eyes.

"Indeed, the Imperial Academy is quite commendable, not only is their strength formidable, but their preferences are also unique, surprisingly they have a fondness for Longyang, truly an excellent tradition!"

A young man with disheveled hair and a burly figure laughed and mocked.

"You..."

You Yunxiao and Liang Boyao were infuriated, this was a permanent scar in their hearts, being brought up again in front of others made them burn with shame and anger!

"What about you? Did I say something wrong?" The young man smiled as he spoke.

"Hmph!"

You Yunxiao snorted coldly and said no more, knowing that the more they explained this matter, the darker it became. Back at the Immortal Mansion Ruins, many saw his and Liang Boyao’s disgraceful scene, leaving no room for explanation!

"What is this? The Imperial Academy still has such traditions? How surprising!" some uninformed cultivators asked one after another, while those who knew added fuel to the fire in their descriptions.

As they spoke, saliva flew everywhere, listeners gasped in shock, occasionally breaking into bursts of uncontrollable laughter.

Although the crowd did not openly say who it was, no one was a fool, and naturally they could guess. Their eyes towards the people of the Imperial Academy held an added layer of meaning, which enraged the Imperial Academy’s people greatly, but there was nothing they could do!

"The time has come, Old Immortal, shouldn’t you appear now?"

The Director of the Imperial Academy, Monk Dao Yan, said darkly and deeply.

The crowd’s discussions made his face as the Director of the Imperial Academy lose light, and he wished to immediately start the competition between the two academies, no longer listening to the unbearable comments!

"Ants of the Immortal Academy, are you afraid? Why don’t you dare to appear when the time comes? Are you afraid of our Imperial Academy’s strength?"

"In every previous tournament, the Immortal Academy has never won, and this time is no exception. The overall strength of my Imperial Academy is much stronger than the Immortal Academy!"

Many disciples from the Imperial Academy shouted, doing their utmost to ridicule and suppress, their sense of superiority was too strong, they didn’t take the Immortal Academy’s disciples seriously at all.

In their view, the disciples of the Immortal Academy are all grassroots, not many disciples from major forces, born much inferior to them, feeling indignant to be on equal footing with such people!

"Noisy!"

With a loud shout, the Director of the Immortal Academy, Old Immortal, led Ye Fan and others before the crowd, coldly saying to Monk Dao Yan of the Imperial Academy, "Is this the quality of your Imperial Academy? If it weren’t for them about to participate in the tournament, I would teach them a lesson now to show them how to behave!"

"Less nonsense, since you’re here, let’s open the Void Sky Battlefield and prepare for the competition!" Monk Dao Yan said expressionlessly.

"As you wish!"

Old Immortal snorted coldly, his hands moved, and strands of mysterious and unpredictable Mystic Light emerged from his hands, forming a mysterious rune in the void.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the rune dispersed, and a quaint battlefield appeared on the Dragon Tower, built with cliff stones, each stone possibly holding a story.

Each stone surface was covered with knife scars and arrow holes, stained with blood, it’s unknown how many peerless experts stood here, battling to split the heavens, deciding life and death.

The vast Martial Arts Arena, boundless in sight, many stones bore the names of strong people, cracks were everywhere, resembling an ancient battlefield.

Although there were no remains scattered around, the aura left by fallen masters remained indelible, penetrating into one’s bones.

Everyone who came here couldn’t help but feel as if they experienced a thousand battles in an instant, sensing the aura of deceased masters.

"Whoosh!"

As the crowd moved, All Holy Lands and the Di Clan, Wu Shang Sect scrambled for favorable spectating positions; although it was just a competition among the younger generation, it concerned the future of the entire Xuan Realm, making them pay close attention!

"One of the most prestigious Ancient Battlefields in the Five Domains, deservedly renowned, but this time, will the Imperial Academy continue its previous glory, or will the Immortal Academy excel?"

"The last time this Void Sky Battlefield opened was eight hundred years ago, I clearly remember the old Saint Master of Purple Smoke Pavilion, swallowing mountains and rivers, an ultimate battle, slaying several formidable foes, but ultimately expiring, passing away here."

"I also remember, fifteen hundred years ago, the Supreme Saint of the Yin Yang Sect wielded the Yin Yang Xuan Skill, shaking the heavens, vanquishing unprecedented foes at this battlefield, blood staining the battleground!"

The opening of the Void Sky Battlefield evoked memories for many elders, numerous battles occurred here as if just yesterday, the people and events had not faded.

The Void Sky Battlefield of the Immortal Academy was indeed a unique place, many Saint Lord-level strong people resolved their grievances here on the ancient battlefield, with every occurrence a shocking great duel.

Throughout tens of thousands of years, countless brilliant figures fell here, leaving eternal legends, leaving later generations awestruck and sighing.

"Whoosh!"

Just as everyone was immersed in reminiscence, Old Immortal and Monk Dao Yan stepped onto the ancient battlefield side by side, simultaneously!

The top ten disciples of both the Immortal Academy and the Imperial Academy stood at the two ends of the ancient battlefield, distinctly divided, though the duel hadn’t started yet, an intense War Intent already filled both sides!

"Interesting!"

A few young people of the Demon Clan also saw the Immortal Academy’s Void Sky Battlefield for the first time, their eyes blazing with gun light.

"Don’t underestimate it!"

A Supreme Elder of the Demon Clan transmitted his Divine Sense to a few demon-level geniuses, saying: "This is the Human Race’s Ancient Battlefield, qualifying to open this battlefield are all outstanding strong people!"

Although the demon-level demons were arrogant and presumptuous, they were very respectful towards the Supreme Elder’s words, without speaking back, but even a blind person could see their disdain in their expressions!

"Tap tap tap..."

Soon after, an old man whose hair was all fallen walked through the void step by step towards the ancient battlefield, though seemingly shaky, ready to topple at any moment, yet no one dared underestimate this elder!

"It’s actually him?"

The Supreme Elders of some Holy Lands and Di Clan’s eyes blazed with intensity, they were already ancient-grade cultivators, and the elder before them was a half-generation above, the previous Manor Master of Spirit Manor, famed throughout the Five Domains two thousand years ago.

Five hundred years ago, he suddenly disappeared, many thought he had passed away, unexpectedly he wasn’t dead, judging by his appearance, it seemed today’s tournament invited him as the referee and host!
