Dragon-Blooded War God

Long Chen finally sighed in relief.

To be honest, being around so many Divine Martial Realm experts made him feel suffocated. He was only at the Fifth Heavenly Martial Stage. Forget about Su Mo; any of the Ten-Thousand Sergeants could kill him a thousand times over. Long Chen felt like he was very weak.

I won’t get out of the Underworld Battlefield until I reach the Divine Martial Realm, he told himself.

The Divine Martial Realm was a long journey on its own. Long Chen knew it would not be easy.

“Brother Chen, I’ll head to the Underworld Battlefield first. See you soon!” said Ye Xuan with a salute after putting the Universal Getaway Talisman away.

Long Chen was looking in the direction where Su Mo and the others had gone.

Through his Soul Swallowing Gaze, he suddenly noticed something strange.

Within Su Mo’s entourage of Ten Thousand-Sergeants, one of them was familiar, as if Long Chen had met him before.

“Why do I feel like I’ve met this person before? But where?” Long Chen tried hard to recall. Previously, his attention had been fully on Su Mo, so he had not noticed the tall and muscular Ten Thousand-Sergeant.

Ye Xuan called him louder this time when he saw that Long Chen did not respond.

When Long Chen saw Ye Xuan, he suddenly recalled that the Second Divine Martial Stage Ten Thousand-Sergeant was the person who had tried to kill Ye Xuan. Although this was shocking, this was just a sudden thought and he could not confirm it.

“Ye Xuan, the culprit who tried to kill you—do you know who it was?” Long Chen asked solemnly after he escorted Ye Xuan out of the plaza.

“I do. He’s a nemesis who previously held a grudge against me. He tried to kill me again, and my sister caught him and directly sentenced him to death. His body shape, the techniques he used, and his aura were all similar to the person who tried to kill me the first time, and he even admitted it himself. I’m a hundred percent sure it was him. Why do you ask?” Ye Xuan asked, surprised.

Long Chen shook his head and smiled. “Oh. I guess I was thinking too much, then. See you soon!”

“Remember our deal! I’ll be waiting for you at the Underworld Battlefield, Brother.” Ye Xuan did not think much of it and left. He quickly disappeared from Long Chen’s sight.

I’ll stay another half a month in the plaza, then head to the Underworld Battlefield. It’s almost time to go. Long Chen made his plans, then sat down. Fifteen days passed very quickly, and to the outside world, the fact that Long Chen could cultivate the Underworld Qi successfully in about three months made him a prodigy. However, due to Ye Xuan’s shining achievement, very few people paid attention to him.

Long Chen had long learned about the entrance to the Underworld Battlefield.

He had been waiting for this moment.

After making all the preparations, Long Chen went to the Underworld Battlefield. Amidst the endless training camps, there was one known as the Camp of Life and Death. The Underworld Battlefield was in this camp.

The Camp of Life and Death was a pitch-black building with strict security. People who were not Underworld Soldiers and did not provide detailed personal information could not enter.

The entrance was inside the Pavilion of Life and Death, which was inside the camp. The Underworld Battlefield was a gigantic miniverse, or at least, it was the largest miniverse Long Chen had ever seen.

Security was strict there. Usually, there would be at least one Ten Thousand-Sergeant and several Thousand-Sergeants stationed there.

Within the Underworld Battlefield, regular training was led by Hundred-Sergeants if there were no assignments. Thousand-Sergeants were Divine Martial Realm cultivators who did things that Hundred-Sergeants could not, such as guarding the Camp of Life and Death.

When Long Chen came up to the entrance, someone stopped him.

“Display your Underworld Armor,” said one of the men at the entrance. There were twenty-plus men like him, and they were likely Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage Hundred-Sergeants. They were much stronger than Long Chen, so Long Chen’s arrival did not really catch their attention.

The suit of Underworld Armor that Long Chen was wearing not only boosted his essence, but also provided a great defense.

It was also custom-made for his body, and his name and camp were recorded in it. There was also information on his appearance in the runes on the armor, so based on all this information, they could confirm that Long Chen was the owner of this suit of armor.

“A soldier from Camp Wolf? You’re so young and you still dare come to the Underworld Battlefield. The newborn calf isn’t afraid of the tiger. Are you here to die?” The man rolled his eyes at Long Chen.

When they saw that Long Chen was so young, another Hundred-Sergeant was mildly interested too and said, “People with cultivation levels like you have a ninety-nine percent chance of dying in the Underworld Battlefield. You should go back.”

He was telling the truth. Even a cultivator at the Seventh Heavenly Martial Stage would just be prey for other people and Underworld Beasts in the Underworld Battlefield.

The two Hundred-Sergeants were just offering legitimate advice.

Long Chen shook his head and said, “I have already made up my mind. I am going in. I won’t regret it.”

The two Hundred-Sergeants were initially chatting with each other, but they were surprised when they heard Long Chen’s response. One of them patted Long Chen’s shoulder and said, “You’re brave, kid. Your name is Long Chen, right? I’ll remember it.”

“Every person decides how they will live their own life. We won’t intervene in yours. Come, register your name. I hope you come back alive and strike off the name yourself.”

Long Chen left his personal details in a book.

It was a very thick book with many names recorded inside. Some were struck off in black, while others were struck off in red.

“A black strike shows that the person has returned from the Underworld Battlefield, while red means it is confirmed that this person has died in the Underworld Battlefield,” explained a Hundred-Sergeant.

“I’m guessing that your name will be struck off in red in a few years,” said another tall cultivator with a laugh.

“It will be black,” said Long Chen with a smile. Then he strode over to the Pavilion of Life and Death. There were indeed many Thousand-Sergeants present in the camp, and there was even a Ten Thousand-Sergeant. However, since they were usually stationed here, they did not appear in public often.

When Long Chen entered the pavilion, the others looked at each other.

One of them suddenly slapped his head and said, “Long Chen? Isn’t Long Chen the one who had an outstanding performance at the Underworld Arena four months ago when he first joined? It hasn’t even been four months, and he has already cultivated the Underworld Qi?”

The other people were shocked too.

They thought that the youth had been too calm and too bold, but they never thought he would make such a great achievement.

“Young Master Ye Xuan took more than two months. Although Long Chen is not as good as Young Master Ye Xuan and General Su Mo, he is very talented.”

“It’s too bad that he did not come from a strong background, or he would be an excellent prodigy too.”

“He’s too impatient. Young Master Ye Xuan only dared to enter the Underworld Battlefield because he had reached the Divine Martial Realm. Long Chen is just the most regular type of soldier in the Underworld Army, and even if he seems like he has Eighth Heavenly Martial Stage abilities, his chance of survival isn’t high.”

“I didn’t recognize him just now. If I did, I would have stopped him, and we would have prevented the loss of a prodigy.”

“Should we enter and get him out?”

“I don’t think so. He made his own choice, so we shouldn’t intervene. We just need to report this to management.”

After he spoke, someone walked out from one of the minor pavilions and said in a low voice, “You all are being so noisy; is that appropriate?”

Everyone quickly shut their mouths.

It was Song Yang. He walked over and eyed them, then took the book from their hand. When he saw the final row, his eyes lit up.

“Did someone named Long Chen from Camp Wolf enter the Underworld Battlefield?”

One of them quickly nodded and said, “Yes, Thousand-Sergeant.”

Another person said excitedly, “Thousand-Sergeant, Long Chen was able to cultivate the Underworld Qi in less than four months. Despite what he looks like, he’s actually a prodigy with outstanding comprehension abilities and has great potential. If you’re able to mentor him a little, he’ll achieve great things in the future!”

“Yes. With outstanding comprehension abilities, his cultivation speed will also surpass regular people. Maybe in a few decades, Camp Wolf will produce a Divine Martial Realm expert.”

A strange smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

“You’re right. I should enter the Underworld Battlefield to take a look at this young prodigy.”

After he spoke, Song Yang went towards the Pavilion of Life and Death.

When the others saw him leave, they wanted to speak but stopped.

After Song Yang left, a Hundred-Sergeant said, “I think I heard that Thousand-Sergeant Song Yang’s grandson was eliminated by Long Chen. Also, Long Chen humiliated Thousand-Sergeant Song Yang in public, and Ten Thousand-Sergeant Qin Xiong directly fired him from his examiner’s role …”

“I think I heard that too …”

“This means that Song Yang is going to …”

“Alright, everyone. Shut your mouths. Guard the Pavilion of Life and Death well. Let’s not talk about other things,” one of them said.

The others looked at each other and stood at their posts. They knew the odds were against Long Chen this time. Pitying him was the only thing they could do.

***

The Pavilion of Life and Death was vast. It was at least five hundred meters in length and width. Walking through its grand entrance, Long Chen could see an ink-green array at the center. Two cultivators stood next to the large ink-green array. They were both at the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage.

“Come here.”

When they sensed Long Chen’s arrival, one of them waved at him.
