Chapter 1503: Outside Battlefield
Xiang Shaoyun did not understand what the crow was talking about, nor did he have the time for the so-called inheritance. Once again, he arrived before his father's coffin and reached out for it. However, he couldn't move or open the coffin even after exerting all his strength due to the god-grade seal on the coffin. Unless he was a God, he wouldn't be able to open it.
Xiang Shaoyun was unwilling to give up just like that. He wanted to take out the Yin Mother Sword and swing at the coffin. He believed that the Yin Mother Sword would be powerful enough to cut the coffin apart. However, the Yin Mother Sword was an extremely important sword. If the crow developed a desire for the sword, things would become troublesome for him.
Just as he was hesitating, the crow said, "You won't be able to open the coffin with your strength. Your only option is to accept the inheritance trial. If you succeed, you'll be able to open it."
"Lord, can you tell me just what is going on here?" asked Xiang Shaoyun, confused.
"We'll talk after you get through the trial," said the crow. A wave of energy shot out from the grave and enveloped Xiang Shaoyun's body before pulling him into the grave.
Xiang Shaoyun was thus forcefully brought into the grave. He felt himself being brought to a bleak space. Within the space, he could see powerful humans fighting against aliens from the outside domain. There were many humans on this battlefield and fewer aliens. Even so, the humans were at an obvious disadvantage.
Countless wails rang out, a vast amount of blood was spilled, and numerous severed body parts flew everywhere.
Xiang Shaoyun discovered that many of the alien beings were similar to the devils. Of course, the non-human races that resided in the dominion, such as the dwarves, the shadowrunes, and so on were also involved in the battlefield. The alien beings from the outside domain had clearly joined hands to invade the dominion.
Looking at the humans being killed one after another, Xiang Shaoyun erupted with a sense of grief and indignation. He roared, "You animals!"
He then charged toward the nearby aliens and swung at them with his finger sword. These aliens were Saints, but they weren't anything special for Xiang Shaoyun. He discovered that these alien beings each owned different abilities. Their offensive capabilities seemed incredible, as they were all strong enough to punch above their class. On average, the alien cultivators seemed stronger than the dominion cultivators. It was unknown if they were born stronger or if they had merely become stronger due to training.
Xiang Shaoyun joined the human side and killed more than 10 alien Saints in a row, causing morale to rise. However, he also attracted the attention of the stronger aliens. Five peak Saints attacked him, each wielding a different weapon.
One of the five was a three-eyed alien. Each eye shot out a beam of light that could trap one in an illusion. Another had three heads and six arms, wielding six different weapons and unleashing powerful attacks that seemed unblockable. Another one had long hair covering his entire body, with the hair being his weapon. The moment the hair tied up an opponent, the opponent would be crushed into mincemeat. These aliens were peak Saints, but they could unleash a strength beyond their level. When working together, they could even kill pseudo-Gods.
"Bring it on! Let me battle to my heart's content!" roared Xiang Shaoyun. He did not know if he was in some sort of illusion or if he had arrived at the outside domain. He only wanted to enjoy the fight.
Black Yin Magnetic Field!
Instantly, a chaotic and corrosive energy field spread out, catching the five alien attackers by complete surprise. With the Divine Devilish Black Saber in hand, Xiang Shaoyun launched powerful offenses toward the aliens. An intense battle erupted between him and the aliens. With the Black Yin Magnetic Field, two of the aliens were instantly killed. Of course, the other aliens had struck his back. If it weren't for his body's resilience, he would have suffered grave injuries.
Not satisfied with the speed at which he was killing the aliens, he took out the Radiant Saint Sword as well. With a sword in one hand and a saber in the other, he fought until he forgot everything.
The alien beings had many variations in their attacks. If it weren't for his divine dao eyes, Xiang Shaoyun would have a hard time discovering their weak points. And without the discovery of their weak points, the battle would drag on even longer.
None of the five aliens was weaker than the 10 geniuses he had encountered at the Darkdevil Sect. In fact, under certain circumstances, those geniuses wouldn't even be the match for these aliens.
One ought to know that the five aliens he was facing weren't even the strongest. The stronger ones were still in the middle of the battlefield, engaged against the human experts.
The Black Yin Magnetic Field was extremely suited for a chaotic battleground. With the field, Xiang Shaoyun quickly killed the aliens he was engaged with.
After killing his five opponents, his battle intent reached a new high. He charged toward more aliens and unleashed a barrage of attacks. His attacks came in numerous elements, but each element was not weaker than the other.
Alien limbs were sent flying everywhere while alien blood flooded the battlefield. None of the aliens seemed to be Xiang Shaoyun's match. After all, there were no Gods on this battlefield. The strongest participants were all Saints. With Xiang Shaoyun's strength, he was also among the strongest participants.
"Yet another human king among Saints. Feasting upon him will enhance my blood and life force," said a humanoid alien.
Most of the high-tier aliens loved taking on a humanoid form because it was their way of showcasing their intelligence. The alien who had just spoken was a member of one of the stronger alien races, the rockscale race.
At a height of about seven meters, the alien was tall and sturdy. His muscular body was brown in color and protected with a layer of scales. He was powerful both in offense and defense. His name was Shi Chen, and he was among the strongest participants on this battlefield.
As he charged over, he threw a punch at Xiang Shaoyun. It was as though an entire mountain was crashing down on Xiang Shaoyun. The punch was comparable with the punch of a pseudo-God. It was further powered by a gravity field that greatly suppressed Xiang Shaoyun's Black Yin Magnetic Field.
Xiang Shaoyun narrowed his eyes when he sensed the pressure coming from this opponent. In fact, he had only felt the same pressure when he had faced Liu Qingchen. This was obviously an opponent of the same level.
"Kill!" With a roar, Xiang Shaoyun swung his Radiant Saint Sword at his new opponent.
