With the stone statue’s enhancement, Jun Changxiao completely dominated two Heavenly-grade Battlefield Phantoms, showing just how powerful it was.
However.
After gaining power, he even attacked his own people—this was a bit extreme.
Honestly speaking, in Jun Changxiao’s state of lost reason at that time, it was fortunate he beat the cute and durable Hall Master Purple. If it had been Elder Ding and the others, they’d probably have died long ago.
“I did this?”
“Yes.”
“I really did this?”
“Yes!”
“…”
After confirming repeatedly, Jun Changxiao, sitting in the great hall, took out the stone statue that made him suddenly transform into a devil and said in collapse: “This thing is toxic!”
His memory stopped at defeating the second Heavenly-grade Battlefield Phantom. What happened afterward, he knew nothing about.
The system said: “At that time, a force instantly rushed into the host’s sea of consciousness and took control of the body.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao became serious.
Although the stone statue could allow him to gain power in a short time, it would control his mind and body, causing him to do things that harmed his teammates. The problem was serious.
“No, no.”
Jun Changxiao said: “This thing is evil. Can’t use it anymore!”
The enhancement of powerful force was certainly refreshing, but losing rationality because of it was definitely unacceptable.
Moreover, if it had been Li Qingyang and the others outside at the time, and he attacked them, he might commit an irredeemable grave mistake!
Thinking to this point.
Jun Changxiao’s back broke out in cold sweat.
The system then said: “So, treasures from the system shop are still reliable. Although things from the Upper Realm can make people powerful, the side effects they bring are completely uncontrollable.”
Elevating shop products while demeaning Upper Realm opportunities.
A qualified salesman.
“Yeah.”
Jun Changxiao looked at the stone statue in his hand and said: “A treasure that makes me lose rationality—even if it were strong enough to destroy heaven and earth, I can’t use it anymore.”
“Swish!”
He tossed it into his spatial ring, placing it in a remote corner.
He didn’t throw it away because if he encountered danger in the future, he might be able to use it, but the prerequisite was that no disciples were present.
…
“Creak.”
The infirmary door was pushed open as Jun Changxiao walked in from outside.
Originally lying on the bed with legs crossed humming a tune, Demon King Zilin hurriedly turned to his side, covering his waist with one hand in a pained state, wailing: “Ouch… ouch… my waist…”
Though his acting was still slightly immature, it was obviously much stronger than before.
“Hall Master Purple.”
Jun Changxiao sat down and said apologetically: “You’ve been wronged.”
Demon King Zilin grimaced: “My bones were nearly beaten apart… Sect Master should at least show some gesture, right?”
Jun Changxiao said: “This month’s beast cores will be doubled.”
Demon King Zilin’s eyes immediately brightened as he thought secretly: “Not in vain to take a beating!”
The king.
Had truly changed.
For his clansmen, for resources, he could let go of many things.
If it were in the past, forget being beaten savagely—even if someone touched a single hair, he’d grab a weapon and fight back.
“Sect Master.”
Demon King Zilin stopped performing and said seriously: “The divine ability you used yesterday is powerful, but it causes loss of reason. In the future, never use it casually, or it’ll implicate the sect’s disciples.”
Although he’d always firmly believed he was enduring humiliation and planning for the future, his feelings toward Myriad Ages Sect were genuinely increasing.
Today’s words proved everything.
Similar to Hall Master Purple was the arrogant tsundere Ye Xingchen.
Though both continued to deny it, they’d already invisibly cultivated sufficiently deep feelings for this sect that constantly made them stronger.
Look.
After witnessing Jun Changxiao completely dominate two Heavenly-grade Battlefield Phantoms, even though the battlefield was already approaching dusk, Night Bull was still actively participating in construction, diligently dedicating himself to the sect.
“Second Senior Brother.”
Xiao Zuiji said: “It seems Junior Brother Ye has truly integrated into the sect.”
“Yes.” Li Qingyang said with relief.
As the earliest disciples to join, the two could tell that Ye Xingchen had a very proud personality and had always been incompatible with the sect. Now that he could focus on participating in construction, it meant he’d completely integrated into the sect as a member.
“There’s also Senior Sister.”
Li Qingyang looked at Lu Qianqian standing on the mountain peak, white robes fluttering, and murmured: “When will she let go of her cold personality and get along with fellow disciples?”
Xiao Zuiji shook his head: “Senior Sister cultivates ice techniques. It might be very difficult.”
…
After eliminating two Battlefield Phantoms, the stronghold area expanded considerably again, already very close to large city scale.
“Finding two or three more Heavenly-grade opportunities should achieve it.”
On the main peak, Jun Dogsheng smiled.
There were still over two months until the settlement of Epic Quest Nine. The city would soon reach large city scale—progress was very fast.
As for Epic Quest Ten…
“Right!”
Jun Changxiao slapped his forehead: “The agreed battle between Totem Continent and Star-Moon Continent is today. I can go watch.”
“Whoosh!”
As he spoke, he’d already flown out of the stronghold.
The Slaughter Asura Field was located in the battlefield’s center region, surrounded by flowing light barriers, like an enclosed bullfighting arena.
When searching for opportunities, Jun Changxiao had passed by many times, but because there were no people inside and no battles, he’d merely glanced once before leaving.
Now, when he rushed over, looking through the transparent flowing light barrier, he discovered two groups wearing different attire gathered inside. Estimating from the numbers, there were roughly four to five thousand people.
“As expected.”
Jun Changxiao thought darkly: “Both planes have assembled their forces.”
This kind of large-scale battle was rare even in the Planar Battlefield, unless there were opportunities that had to be fought over.
The Slaughter Asura Field covered an area of several dozen li. Planar warriors gradually gathered around the perimeter barrier, quietly waiting for a slaughter feast to unfold.
Of course.
Warriors also came to Jun Changxiao’s area.
Seeing this fierce man was also there, they hurriedly changed viewing areas, maintaining absolute distance from him.
…
More and more warriors gathered outside the flowing light barrier in different positions and areas to spectate, their gazes flashing with anticipation.
Jun Changxiao enjoyed a quiet area alone, arms crossed, constantly staring at the two groups inside.
They didn’t immediately fight but stood on opposite sides in a tense standoff, then conversed about something.
Outside warriors could clearly see everything inside but couldn’t hear sounds, so they couldn’t determine whether the two planes were making threats or desperately taunting each other.
“Yawn…”
After waiting a quarter-hour, Jun Changxiao yawned.
Damn it!
Should I take a nap first?
Just then, the two groups finally took action, instantly flying to high altitude. Various energy lights flashed as they engaged in the most violent combat!
“It’s finally here!”
“Though we can’t hear battle sounds, from the momentum, it’s definitely brutal!”
“Those flying high in the sky are probably all Earth-grade!”
Inside the Asura Field, the two planes engaged in fierce confrontation while outside warriors spectated and discussed.
Jun Changxiao was also watching.
And watching more intently than others.
Soon, he discovered these warriors fought as if they didn’t care about their lives!
“Dear participants, once you enter the Slaughter Asura Field, it’s either life or death,” the female system reminded.
“Cruel.”
Jun Changxiao shook his head.
Because no sound came out, even if the battle was spectacular, there were no combat effects, so it looked quite uncomfortable to watch.
One hour later.
After the two planes’ frantic slaughter, at least a thousand warriors fell from high altitude, lying on the ground unmoving—clearly dead.
Jun Changxiao couldn’t help but sigh: “If your strength is inferior, you can only die.”
Upper Realm.
You view mortal beings as grass!
Watching those warriors fighting to the death in the Asura Field, Jun Changxiao suddenly felt nameless anger rise, furiously looking up at the firmament.
This place with slaughter as its theme—wasn’t it like a large beast-fighting arena? He and everyone who came in were nothing but chess pieces used by the Upper Realm for gambling and entertainment!
I’m unhappy!
I’m very unhappy!
Following traditional rhythm, at this moment the protagonist would definitely shout: “I will defy heaven!”
However, Jun Changxiao’s brain circuits suddenly took a turn as he thought darkly: “Find a plane to act together, each side taking Yellow Springs Pills to play dead in the Asura Field together. The Upper Realm probably won’t discover it, right?”
The system said: “Very imaginative!”
