It was indeed an immortal palace that stood high above the nine heavens, bathed in dazzling immortal light, with billions of divine rays falling down. Indistinctly, it seemed as if a plaque made of exotic immortal gold was hanging on the immortal palace. Written on the plaque was Central Immortal Court! On the stone pillars on both sides, two lines of shining immortal dao text were engraved. Looking down at the stars, traveling through the blue sky, and a golden bell was struck to gather immortals together. High above the galaxy, joining to the heavens, with the jade drum being struck to greet the gods! Every word was an exquisite pearl, penetrating the nine heavens and ten earths with their brilliance. When Lin Xun saw the plaque with the words Central Immortal Court written on it for the first time, he couldn't help but be shocked. That place simply had to be the place where the gods lived and true immortals discussed the dao. It was too sacred! "Could it be that the Central Immortal Court contains the supreme divine treasure from the last epoch?" “It is rumored that in the last era, the Immortal Martial Epoch, the Central Immortal Court controlled the four thousand nine hundred continents of the Immortal World and was the most supreme existence in the immortal path. I didn't expect that this rumor would actually be true..." "Look, is that the Battlefield of the Gods?" A burst of exclamations sounded from nearby. Lin Xun looked up and found that with the Central Immortal Court as the center, forty-nine bluestone paths had emerged in the surrounding area. At the end of each path, there was an arena in the shape of a petal. Each arena was very large, was paved with immortal stones and divine jade, and was covered with a strange and mysterious aura of immortal-level arrays. At this time, there were already thousands of figures standing in the forty-nine arenas. They were the cultivators who had entered the Ruins of the Gods earlier. At the end of the path where Lin Xun was, there were also hundreds of figures standing in the arena. There were men and women, old and young, and all had different cultivation levels. At this time, everyone was looking at the Central Immortal Court in the sky in the distance, and they were talking about it with different expressions. Lin Xun remained calm and walked straight forward. He had noticed that the law power that was oppressing him had not disappeared, which meant that he could not use his cultivation. This situation not only applied to him, but also to the other cultivators present. Otherwise, these people who had arrived early would have rushed to the Central Immortal Court as soon as possible to compete for the fortune in it. "Is this the Battlefield of the Gods?" Once he stepped into the arena, Lin Xun immediately saw that in the sky not far from him was a battlefield suspended in the air. It was very large, enough for two Emperors to fight in it. The entire place was light gold in color as if it had been made of divine gold and many law powers were engraved on it. In addition, he could see that the ground of the battlefield was still soaked in dried blood, which had not faded even after thousands of years. In fact, there were forty-nine battlefields , and all of them were not far from their respective arenas. "In the ancient books of my clan, it is recorded that every one hundred thousand years, the Central Immortal Court would hold a Heaven’s Chosen Battle. Those who won on the Battlefield of Gods could enter the Central Immortal Court and obtain a supreme inheritance,” said an old man in a low voice. Many others were familiar with this legend. It was said that those who were able to participate in the Heaven’s Chosen Battle were all the top existences in the Immortal World, known as the overlords of an era. These were true contests and confrontations between peerless figures, and they were known as the most brilliant, passionate and fierce battles in the Immortal World. At that time, peerless gods, breathtaking beauties, and world-class fairies would all ascend to the Battlefield of the Gods. These were battles between heroes and beauties in the quest for supremacy. Whoever could fight their way out of the Battlefield of the Gods would be the chosen one of that era and could enter the Central Immortal Court. They could even stand proudly at the top of the peak, achieving ultimate transcendence! Lin Xun had also heard of these legends, but he never expected that this grand event from the last epoch might actually be true! Someone said to himself, "It seems that if you want to reach the Central Immortal Palace, you must go through layers of selection and fights on the Battlefield of the Gods." According to rumors, the Heaven’s Chosen Battle from the last epoch had many requirements. The first level was called "Defending the Ring," and participants of the forty-nine arenas would fight to defend the ring. As long as a participant could achieve nine consecutive victories on the Battlefield of the Gods, they were able to stand out and enter the second level "Big Hunt." Seven days were allotted for the first level. Within that week, even if participants were defeated in the process of defending the ring, they still have the opportunity to fight again. After seven days, the battle to defend the ring would end. Of note, as long as someone was able to successfully defend the ring, they would get a generous reward! Furthermore, for those who could go through the selection process and finally enter the Central Immortal Court, they could get the supreme fortune hidden in it! Thinking of this, many people became excited. Someone laughed, "I thought that the Ruins of the Gods was incredibly dangerous, as it is known as the number one forbidden area, where there is death but no life, but now it seems that it is nothing more than a ring battle." "If it is just a ring battle, that would be great..." Someone's eyes were full of worry. The rumored battles to defend the ring were actually a matter of life and death! This was more scary than encountering any random danger or accident. After all, if someone wanted to achieve nine consecutive victories, casualties were inevitable! In addition, this was just the first level. It was said that the casualties of the second level, Big Hunt, was even higher. Some people were skeptical, "Who can be sure that what we are facing is the Heaven’s Chosen Battle from the last epoch? After all, the last epoch has long been destroyed." Someone explained softly, "When we arrived here, we were made as helpless as mere mortals. Didn't you notice that everyone's cultivation has been oppressed and imprisoned? This is one of the rules of Heaven's Chosen Battle. Attempts to act beyond the sanctioned arenas are not allowed." "Forty-nine arenas with their respective Battlefields of the Gods, seven days of Defending the Ring... Does this mean that most of the competitors will be eliminated in just this first level?" Some people took a breath. Many people's faces also changed slightly. Lin Xun listened to all this and thought to himself that this rule was not bad. At least there was no need to worry about sneak attacks and sieges! For original chapters go to noᴠelfire.net Suddenly, a surprised voice sounded, "Oh ho, that guy actually came to seek his own death!" A handsome man in a gray robe turned around from the front of the arena and looked at Lin Xun with a playful look. The powerful experts who had been looking at the Central Immortal Palace and the Battlefield of the Gods in the distance also noticed Lin Xun, who had just arrived, and they all revealed surprise. Not long ago, the discussion about whether or not Lin Xun would appear in the Ruins of the Gods had caused a lot of controversy in Chaotian City. After all, there were too many Immortal Imperial Clans who had threatened to kill Lin Xun, not to mention his old enemies such as the Wen, Heng, Luo, Zhu, etc. Just having the four clans under Donghuang against him alone were enough to send chills down people’s backs. After all, these were the behemoths of the Seventh Heaven Domain! If it were anyone else, how would they dare to rashly enter the Ruins of the Gods? Despite that, Lin Xun had come! This was beyond many people's expectations. At this time, Lin Xun's cultivation was suppressed, so he was naturally using his true appearance. Thus, Nan Tianzheng, the handsome man in the gray robe, had recognized him. "Before entering the Ruins of the Gods, you asked me if I had the guts or not, and now you're saying I'm here to die. In that case, when the battle to defend the ring begins, you must not be a coward." Lin Xun looked calm and the words he said were casual, but his murderous intent was already being revealed. Nan Tianzheng couldn't help but sneer, his eyes were as cold as a blade, and he said, "You’re the one who said it; it's only a matter of life and death, so you are not allowed to admit defeat!" "Don't worry, even if you admit defeat, I won't let you off." Lin Xun looked completely unperturbed. "Humph!" Nearby, Nan Yongqiang snorted coldly and said, "Tianzheng, why bother talking to a dying man? When the battle to defend the ring begins, you can take his life." Nearby, there were many cultivators of the Nan Clan, all of whom looked indifferent at the moment. They gazed at Lin Xun as if he were a dead person. This made many people nearby tremble, and there was no need to think that if the battle to defend the ring began, Lin Xun would definitely become the number one target "Old bastard, those who insult others will always reap what they sow. Don't blame me for not reminding you. I will definitely take your head in the battle to defend the ring." Lin Xun sneered. This Nan Yongqiang had not concealed his murderous intentions towards him in front of the Battle Stele of the Domains. Therefore, he would take this opportunity to kill him as well. "You..." Nan Yongqiang's face turned green, and murderous intent surged. Unfortunately, there was no reaction at all. Everyone’s cultivation was being suppressed, so he could only stare blankly. Suddenly, a cold and indifferent voice sounded in the distance, "This Lin Xun, always sharp-tongued, arrogant, and unaware of his imminent death, it's a pity that I'm not in the same arena with him, otherwise, I would have killed him first!" Lin Xun looked up and saw a man in an imperial robe with long hair and an unparalleled appearance from an arena in the distance. The man was gazing at him with murderous intent. "Which clan’s trash is this?" Lin Xun asked, very confused, as he really had no impression of the guy. Everyone looked at each other. That was the supreme eighth realm Emperor of the Li Clan, Li Feijing. He was a peerless ruthless man with a reputation even better than Nan Tianzheng’s! Despite that, Lin Xun had just called him trash... "Bold! Lin Xun, you deserve to be cut into pieces!" In the distance, many people around Li Feijing cursed, reacting even more strongly than Li Feijing himself. "A bunch of trash," Lin Xun remarked lightly. At this moment, everyone could see that Lin Xun was clearly doing it on purpose, just as he said, those who humiliated others would always reap what they have sown! There were a total of forty-nine arenas, and at this time, the cultivators distributed in them also noticed what was going on and spotted Lin Xun. Some of the experts from the Immortal Imperial Clans who had long hated Lin Xun couldn't help but sneer. This guy...obviously hadn’t figured out his own situation. Furthermore, those who had no grudges against Lin Xun all had different expressions. It was okay to be arrogant in the past, but shouting in front of the Battlefield of the Gods... Wasn’t that just courting death? This Lin Xun was really as fierce as the rumors claimed! Some people admired his amazing courage, but they could only do so within their hearts. They dared not say it out loud, for fear of being implicated. Unfortunately, almost all of these forty-nine arenas contained enemies of Lin Xun! He really was the number one target here. However, even in this situation, Lin Xun said slowly, "How about everyone who wants to die, raise your hands one by one and sign up so that I can remember who you are? Otherwise, I will have no way to recall who you are when you die.”
