At the edge of a cliff, on a rock dozens of meters high, An Fuqing looked at Chen Chu with curiosity in her eyes. "Chen Chu, weren’t you deployed to the frontlines? The battle between us and the Purgatory Demon Clan must have been spectacular, right?"
Chen Chu nodded. "It really was grand. The recent battle at the Abyssal Battlefield mobilized eighteen legions, over a million high-level frontline troops, and another million in logistics support.
"The Purgatory Demon Clan had even greater numbers. Including their alien vassals, their forces exceeded three million in total, with over thirty demon kings. The battlefront stretched across twenty thousand kilometers."
Even An Fuqing couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment. Just the thought of a battlefield teeming with millions of experts at the Fourth Heavenly Realm or higher, alongside fifty to sixty king-level powerhouses, was awe-inspiring.
"Oh, I also met Mr. Pang Long and Mr. Lin Xiong at the Abyssal Battlefield," Chen Chu added.
"Mr. Lin is at the Abyssal Battlefield too?" An Fuqing paused in surprise; Lin Xiong was her homeroom teacher.
Chen Chu nodded. "Originally, Mr. Pang and the others were part of the Second Legion of the Sky Battlefield. Later, they were reassigned to support the Abyssal Battlefield, and I went to say hello to them."
An Fuqing blinked and smiled. "Did you fly over to greet them?"
"How did you know?" Chen Chu was slightly surprised.
Imagining Pang Long, who had just recently broken through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm and entered the battlefield, suddenly seeing Chen Chu flying over with an Eighth Heavenly Realm cultivation, An Fuqing couldn’t help but smile.
Suddenly, the ruin in the sky trembled, and a dozen tokens appeared simultaneously. The architectural projection then began to slowly disintegrate.
Immediately, an uproar erupted below.
"The ruin is about to open!"
"These are the last tokens!"
In an instant, all of the experts who had not yet obtained a token erupted with excitement, their bodies surrounded by various energies as they surged into the sky to seize their final chance—Hong Zhen and the others among them.
Chen Chu also paused slightly, surprised that all of the remaining tokens had been released at once.
Behind him, his four rotating light wheels spun rapidly as he stepped forward. Under the power of the Heaven-Stepping Divine Movement, he seemingly teleported thousands of meters into the air, reaching for a flying iron fragment.
A thousand meters away from Chen Chu, an alien expert with wings on its back, radiating the aura of a bginning Ninth Heavenly Realm cultivator, hesitated for a moment before ultimately turning and flying off into the distance.
This human is too terrifying—he effortlessly wiped out several middle- to late-stage Ninth Realm experts with a single strike.
Chen Chu extended his hands like claws, and two enormous blue-black lightning dragons, each spanning hundreds of meters, roared into existence. In an instant, they surged across tens of thousands of meters, detonating and engulfing over a dozen alien experts surrounding two tokens.
Under the bombardment of the Divine Thousand-Tribulations Lightning, infused with a trace of the power of laws, the protective energies surrounding the alien experts shattered instantly. They spat blood and fell downward, their bodies charred with black smoke.
All this without Chen Chu harboring any killing intent. His gaze remained indifferent as he glanced at the aliens blasted away. With a flash of his figure, he seized the two tokens effortlessly.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Chu had secured three tokens with overwhelming force and floated high in the air, his gaze shifting to the distance.
Several kilometers away, Hong Zhen radiated an overwhelming fist will, shattering the atmosphere within a kilometer radius with a single punch. The devastating shockwave sent three middle-stage Ninth Realm alien experts flying.
The sheer dominance of his fist will reminded Chen Chu of the legendary Sky-Suppressing War King, Hong Zhantian.
On the other side, a radiant blue glow surged through the air, forming a towering tidal wave thousands of meters high. The overwhelming force swept across the battlefield, leaving behind layers of transparent ripples that distorted the very space itself.
Under Chen Shuang’s tsunami-like strike, the explosive attacks of four Eighth Heavenly Realm and two middle-stage Ninth Heavenly Realm alien experts were utterly destroyed.
The six alien experts coughed up blood as they were sent flying tens of thousands of meters away.
This was the combat power of an Innate Awakener at the Ninth Heavenly Realm. If it weren’t for the interference from the Demon God Cult earlier, not even the strongest Divine Children could have stopped them—they would have easily seized at least two tokens.
However, after securing their tokens, Chen Shuang and Hong Zhen did not continue their assault. Instead, they turned into streaks of light and regrouped around Chen Chu, quietly watching as the remaining aliens battled fiercely for the last tokens.
Desperate to secure an opportunity to enter the ruin, the aliens—who had previously been united against Chen Chu—were now locked in ferocious combat with each other. Injured figures frequently plummeted from the sky.
Elsewhere, several aliens who had also already secured tokens stood observing the chaos indifferently.
Half an hour later, the battle came to an end. Only twenty-three figures remained in the sky. Those who had failed to obtain a token looked on with resentment and unwillingness to accept the outcome in their eyes.
In this place, however, strength reigned supreme—those who couldn’t obtain a token simply had no right to enter.
High above in the azure sky, space shattered apart, revealing a colossal black stone gate towering over a thousand meters tall and more than a kilometer wide.
It was engraved with countless ancient runes, depicting twisted alien figures kneeling in worship toward a towering, sky-covering silhouette. A grand and supreme aura emanated from it, awe-inspiring and overwhelming.
As the stone gate slowly opened, an irresistible pulling force instantly enveloped all those holding tokens. It was a force that could not be resisted or defied.
Under its immense pull, Chen Chu and the others were drawn into the gate, vanishing from sight.
