Mu Honglian, Li Shangtian, and others crushed their Enhancement Talismans to enter the Planar Battlefield. Discovering several hundred armored soldiers standing outside the outpost, their eyes immediately flashed with battle intent.
They had a premonition.
Finally, they could fight high-level warriors to their hearts’ content!
“Qingyang, Zuiji.”
Jun Changxiao said: “You assist Li Shangtian and them with these Yellow tier ones.”
Though the Battlefield Phantoms’ strength wasn’t impressive, there were still over two hundred. Disciples could use them for actual combat, but safety must be ensured first.
“Yes!”
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and others fully armed themselves.
With a pile of Earth-tier equipment enhancement, they still couldn’t contend with Profound tier equivalent to Half-Saints, but fighting Yellow tier, they could completely dominate in all aspects, fighting several at once would be no problem.
Full Earth-tier equipment sets were no joke.
“Hall Master Zi, Elder Ding.”
Jun Changxiao said: “The five Earth tier ones are yours.”
Purple Scale Demon King said coolly: “No need for Elder Ding to act. This Hall Master alone can handle them.”
Using Pantene, he was just that confident.
Jun Changxiao said: “Battlefield Phantoms have no physical form and wear extraordinary armor. Their strength may be stronger than planar Earth tier warriors. Don’t be careless.”
“Understood.”
Purple Scale Demon King’s strength was formidable, but his IQ sometimes went offline—otherwise he wouldn’t have repeatedly failed before accomplishing anything.
Jun Changxiao sometimes was also reckless, but thought things through more, able to compensate well for this deficiency, so they truly were a golden human-demon partnership.
“Elder Gongsun, Elder Niu.”
“These Profound tier ones are yours.”
“Yes!”
Jun Changxiao made simple assignments.
Core disciples and Li Shangtian’s group would target Yellow tier Battlefield Phantoms, Jiang Xie and Gongsun Haohai would target Profound tier, while Purple Scale Demon King and Elder Ding would main-tank Earth tier.
For this scene, Xiao Longlong and Little Demon Fairy were indispensable. The two contract beasts were also absolute main forces against Profound tier.
“Ding! Side quest triggered.”
Having just finished arranging everything, Jun Changxiao heard the system notification and skillfully pulled up the quest panel, which read—Kill the 255 invading Battlefield Phantoms [Elite Quest].
“Tsk tsk.”
He rubbed his hands together: “Not only a bunch of experience packages, but also a bunch of wealth-delivering children.”
“All disciples listen up!”
Jun Changxiao stood up and declared loudly.
“Swish! Swish!”
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and others immediately straightened their backs.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao pointed outside the outpost, saying: “Destroy them all for this seat!”
“Yes!”
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
All disciples flew down from the floating mountain, then landed outside the outpost, standing in opposition to the Battlefield Phantoms several dozen zhang away.
“Sect Master.”
Zhen Dejun approached, saying: “Should we set up Thunder Formations?”
“No need.” Jun Changxiao said.
With so many Battlefield Phantoms, disciples could use them for good tempering. If they all exploded, that would be boring.
Moreover, they all wore armor, representing formidable defense. Ordinary Thunder Formations might not overcome them. Using new Thunder Formations would be somewhat wasteful of Thunder Punishment power.
…
Outside the outpost.
Several hundred Battlefield Phantoms and dozens of Eternal Sect disciples stood opposed. Though they hadn’t yet started fighting, the atmosphere had already turned deadly.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Just then, many planar warriors flew over at extreme speed, then stopped in mid-air in the distance.
“These people…” Jun Changxiao interlaced his fingers, resting his chin on the back of his hands, murmuring: “Probably came to watch the joke.”
The Crimson Sea Continent’s Azure Sea Palace Master also brought people over. Seeing several hundred well-equipped Battlefield Phantoms, a cold smile immediately appeared on his lips.
“Palace Master, the Battlefield Phantoms’ strength isn’t strong—only five Earth tier.” an elder wondered.
Hong Yao said coolly: “Since the Upper Realm is sanctioning the Starfall Continent, they definitely won’t only send this much. Stronger phantoms will certainly appear later.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Warriors from Soaring Cloud Continent and Imperial Sword Continent also flew over.
Several big shots at moderate distances looked at each other, all showing smiles on their faces.
They’d been bullied by Jun Changxiao to the point of not daring to go out. Now not only coming to watch the excitement, their moods were extremely pleased. If they could also witness firsthand the Starfall Continent’s base being razed to the ground, that would be even better.
“So these are Battlefield Phantoms?”
“The armor they’re wearing looks extraordinary!”
“My god! Those Starfall Continent warriors’ equipment looks even better—are they all Earth tier level?”
Many locked onto Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and others’ bodies, eyes immediately showing envy, jealousy, and hatred.
On the battlefield, wearing a full set of Profound tier equipment was already extremely powerful. Wearing a full set of Earth tier equipment was simply unthinkable!
“Palace Master.”
The Azure Sea Palace Master transmitted: “These disciples’ equipment is quite good. We can snatch it after they’re killed!”
Hong Yao said: “Watch for my signal later.”
“Yes.”
Not only did Crimson Sea Continent’s side covet Eternal Sect disciples’ equipment, powerful figures from other planes also had that thought.
Of course, they didn’t dare charge in now. They’d wait for Battlefield Phantoms to kill them, then find the right moment to snatch.
So to speak.
Before Jun Changxiao lay not only Battlefield Phantoms, but also a group of scheming planar warriors with ulterior motives.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Just then, the over two hundred neatly arranged Battlefield Phantoms began moving. The ghostly light flashing in their eyes intensified, as if unsealing some kind of seal, awakening from a dormant state.
“They’re about to act!” someone said.
Watching planar warriors all widened their eyes, obviously not wanting to miss this good show of Battlefield Phantoms sanctioning a certain continent!
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Several hundred seemingly awakened Battlefield Phantoms simultaneously raised their hands. Light flashed in their palms, and pitch-black spears appeared from thin air.
The five phantoms standing in front raised their heads, eyes locking onto Purple Scale Demon King and Elder Ding.
“Hum!”
Space rippled lightly as they vanished.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
In an instant, continuous explosive sounds came from high above!
Purple Scale Demon King and Elder Ding had already appeared above, engaging in fierce combat with the five Earth tier Battlefield Phantoms.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
Energy spread, winds raged!
Warriors from all planes immediately widened their eyes, because that purple-haired guy’s clothes and pants consecutively exploded during combat, leaving only red underwear, and he was single-handedly fighting four Battlefield Phantoms!
Awesome!
“Boom!”
Purple Scale Demon King’s heavy punch struck a target’s armor. Though it sent the phantom flying, it quickly flew back up.
From its movement speed, it obviously wasn’t injured.
“As expected.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Very strong defense.”
“Tch.”
Purple Scale Demon King sneered coldly. Purple demonic energy erupted, forming countless fist shadows that bombarded forward. For a moment, the CPU and graphics card were working frantically, causing the author’s typing to lag and drop frames.
However, facing such terrifying bombardment, several Battlefield Phantoms were sent flying repeatedly but kept coming back, showing no signs of injury.
The most depressed was Ding Xingwang.
He was fiercely battling a Battlefield Phantom, but no matter how he executed Five Absolutes Palm Imprints, he couldn’t overcome the opponent.
If it were human, they’d have long been disturbed by Five Absolutes energy. But these creatures with no physical form simply couldn’t be affected.
…
Earth tier combat inevitably needed time, so the camera turned to lower altitude, where Jiang Xie, Gongsun Haohai, and others had already engaged Profound tier Battlefield Phantoms.
Though their armor wasn’t as strong as Earth tier, it was equally durable. Even with Xiao Longlong’s scorching flames burning them, no severe damage was caused.
“Charge!” Li Qingyang shouted.
“Swish!”
Xiao Zuiji rushed forward first.
As the Eternal Sect’s main tank, in this kind of combat, he absolutely led from the front!
Yellow tier Battlefield Phantoms didn’t just stand there either. They all charged forward, eerie energy gathering in their spears, then piercing through space, condensing beams of light!
“Shield Up!”
Xiao Zuiji suddenly stopped, both hands pressing on the ground, lifting upward with mountain-moving force.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Thick earth walls shot up, then arranged in an arc.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Streaming light like cannonballs smashed into the earth walls. Though they brought extremely strong impact force, Xiao Zuiji stood firm as a rock.
“Whoosh—”
Li Fei was quickest, rushing out from between shield walls. Spiritual energy gathered in his right foot, suddenly kicking out in the void. A footprint carrying foot odor heavily pressed forward.
“Bang!”
A Battlefield Phantom charging at the front was kicked flying.
Li Fei didn’t linger in battle, quickly returning, because countless beams were shooting forth again!
“Boom boom boom!”
After a wild bombardment, the earth walls standing before Xiao Zuiji consecutively crumbled, and he also retreated several steps before barely stabilizing.
A hundred Battlefield Phantoms equivalent to Martial Emperors, holding quality weapons to condense beams—the power was extremely strong. Not being able to withstand it was understandable.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, a sword light flashed!
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
The sound of clashing weapons came. Over ten charging Battlefield Phantoms had shallow sword marks left on their chests.
Ye Xingchen sheathed his sword, his brow furrowing.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”
Suddenly, heavy energy fluctuations came from the right. A Battlefield Phantom holding a spear fiercely thrust forward.
“Whoosh!”
Ye Xingchen was about to counterattack when a beam flew past him, directly striking the phantom’s helmet. It then fell to the ground with its head tilted, the helmet pierced with a hole.
“Clack!”
Xiao Zuiji shouldered his AWM, pulling the bolt to chamber a round.
This type of hot weapon theoretically had no damage against Emperor-level powerhouses, but the bullets were condensed from Six-Pointed Star Stone!
“Dead?”
Jun Changxiao saw the Battlefield Phantom hit by the bullet lying motionless on the ground, the light in its eyes gradually dissipating, and @all members: “Hit their heads!”
“Bang!”
As soon as he spoke, Li Qingyang had already charged forward. Heavenly Slaughter Thunder Pattern, infused with spiritual energy, directly pierced through the target’s helmet.
When the opponent fell to the ground, the light in its eyes extinguishing, Jun Changxiao was immediately certain—though Battlefield Phantoms had strong defense, hitting their heads could kill them.
Ye Xingchen also realized this. In subsequent attacks, he no longer condensed large-area sword qi but changed to single-point thrusts.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Two Battlefield Phantoms were headshot, then briefly froze in mid-air before crashing to the ground.
Ye Xingchen hovered in mid-air holding his sword, saying coolly: “Trash.”
Li Fei, Tian Qi, and others all followed suit, channeling spiritual energy into True Yang Swords, attacking opponents’ heads from various angles, killing five or six in a short time.
The main characters in this combat weren’t them—it was Li Shangtian, Mu Honglian, and others.
So after consecutively eliminating several Battlefield Phantoms, they intentionally took secondary roles, assisting fellow disciples in battle.
“Crimson Firmament Blazing Slash!”
“Seven Profound Sunset Breaker!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Li Shangtian and others, enhanced by Enhancement Talismans and equipment, began unrestrainedly slaughtering Battlefield Phantoms equivalent to Emperor level!
Though they were merely peak Martial Kings, relying on various props to break through to Emperor level and fighting warriors of this tier, their martial dao experience was definitely skyrocketing every minute and second!
“This…”
The joke-watching warriors were dumbfounded!
Starfall Continent clearly only had a few dozen warriors, yet fighting several hundred Battlefield Phantoms, they weren’t falling behind at all!
Jun Changxiao being awesome, they’d witnessed. But each disciple being like a monster—that was too world-shaking!
This was just one sect, and they’d sneaked in!
If that side sent warriors in large numbers, their combat power would definitely be even more terrifying!
The formidable performance of Jun Changxiao and his disciples made many begin speculating that the Starfall Continent might be a very unusual plane!
In fact, at this moment while the Eternal Sect fought Battlefield Phantoms, top powerhouses on the Starfall Continent were so worried they couldn’t eat.
What had originally been over three years suddenly shortened, making them deeply sense that their time until death had accelerated!
“Son.”
In a certain great family, an elderly man who had just emerged from seclusion said heroically: “Two years from now, your father will enter the Planar Battlefield. The family is in your hands.”
“Father!”
The young man beside him knelt on the ground, crying like rain.
“Disciple.”
On a certain mountain peak, a middle-aged sword-carrying man said with deep emotion: “After Master enters the Planar Battlefield, you must never neglect cultivation. The Ultimate Sword Dao still needs you to inherit it.”
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth wiped tears, saying: “Disciple will not disappoint Master and will definitely spread Ultimate Sword Dao!”
This kind of life-and-death parting scene played out successively throughout the Starfall Continent. Powerhouses confirmed to be in the first batch to enter had all begun arranging their affairs.
Central Respect Continent, Altar.
The remaining time displayed on the Earth Spirit Instrument suddenly jumped from over a year to one year.
“No good!”
The Great Priest shot up, collapsing: “The time to enter the Planar Battlefield has advanced again. What’s going on!”
…
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Outside the Starfall Continent outpost, Li Shangtian, Mu Honglian, and others, assisted by senior brothers with full divine six-piece sets, were consecutively killing Battlefield Phantoms. Each one eliminated extended the outpost area by dozens of zhang.
“Tsk tsk.”
Jun Changxiao said unexpectedly: “This also increases?”
The female system said: “Dear participant, Battlefield Phantoms created by Upper Realm great powers increase outpost range much more than killing planar warriors when killed.”
“I can see that.” Jun Changxiao said.
“Boom!”
Just then, an explosion came from high above.
Purple Scale Demon King consecutively bombarded a Earth tier Battlefield Phantom’s head dozens of times, finally exploding it like a watermelon!
Warriors from all planes watched with hearts pounding.
This violent guy could explode an Earth tier powerhouse with just fists—his strength was too terrifying!
Jun Changxiao didn’t care about the eliminated Battlefield Phantom, but looked at the outpost and found the area had expanded a full hundred zhang, so he grinned: “This experience delivery is super satisfying!”
He was satisfied!
The Great Priest in the Central Respect Continent Altar cried.
Because after the time reduced to one year, it didn’t stop—it was continuously decreasing day by day.
“Boom!”
Inside the outpost, Li Shangtian pierced through a Battlefield Phantom with True Yang Sword. The day count on the Earth Spirit Instrument decreased from 360 days to 359 days.
“Great Priest!”
An elderly man said heroically: “What should we do?”
“Sigh.”
Seeing the time decrease by another two days, the Great Priest shook his head, saying: “What must come will come. Fast or slow no longer matters. Notify all major sects to prepare to enter the Planar Battlefield at any time.”
“Yes!”
When the news reached major sects and top powerhouses at maximum speed, all were sighing, all prepared for death in battle.
“City Lord Mu.”
In the Eternal Sect’s hall, Li Luoqiu said: “Honglian is in closed-door cultivation.”
Mu Changhong stood up, seeming to age decades, then walked dejectedly to the cafeteria: “Miss Liu, could you make this old man a few bowls of fried rice?”
“Sure.”
Soon, several bowls of fried rice were placed on the table.
Mu Changhong struggled to lift his chopsticks. Thinking of how he would soon enter the Planar Battlefield and part from his daughter in life and death, he sadly put the chopsticks back down.
“Daughter.”
He thought: “How Father wishes you could break through to Martial Emperor only after the Planar Battlefield ends.”
“Bang!”
Outside the Starfall Continent outpost, a flame fist imprint directly exploded a Battlefield Phantom’s head. Mu Honglian withdrew her fist, eyes burning: “A few more battles, breaking through to Martial Emperor is no problem!”
