Chapter 975 Ancient Battlefield
The mountains are vast and the trees are towering, but most of them are broken and fractured.

The mountains and the land were covered with hideous cracks, and countless broken corpses were scattered everywhere that the naked eye could see.

The sticky blood has been flowing for countless years and it seems that it has not yet completely solidified, but it seems to have completely merged with the deathly silence, rippling, crystal clear, and even more indescribably weird.

In the midst of this endless flow of blood, countless corpses collapsed quietly on the ground. There were bodies of monsters as majestic as mountains, broken limbs like filling in ravines, and even the corpses of strange insects that had never been heard of before...

Strange shapes, all kinds of things...

The dead silence surged, and the smell of blood spread in all directions. The smell of blood was not pungent, but instead had an extremely pleasant fragrance.

But if you smell it carefully, you will find that this strange fragrance is also filled with a strong sense of decay and death.

When you smell it into your nasal cavity, you can even feel a stinging sensation as if it is being eroded.

This piece of world, or rather, everything on this battlefield, has undergone countless years of evolution and has long since completely merged into death, turning into a special and strange... "domain"!
"Heavenly Palace...ancient battlefield!"

Chu Mu's expression was solemn, his body tense, and he immediately tried his best to restrain his aura to avoid causing any unusual movement in the area.

He took a tentative step forward. With each step, his blood became thick, like some kind of extremely sticky glue. Even with his current physical strength, he could still feel the stickiness.

"Golden elixir, Nascent Soul, great monk..."

"A fourth-level demon..."

Chu Mu looked around and the approximate identity of the corpse came to his mind.

He half-knelt down, and in front of him was a broken human body.

The corpse's robes are still there, and even the eons of time have not been able to wear them away.

With the perception of spiritual consciousness, the internal condition of this corpse came clearly into his mind.

Before his death, his cultivation level was probably at the late Jindan stage to the perfect Jindan stage.

He should be a disciple of the Heavenly Palace. The robe he wore was no different from the one he saw in the Pure Soul Mountain that year.

His detailed identity in the Heavenly Palace is probably a member of a Taoist army corps.

This can be seen from the strength of his physique.

He was not a specialized practitioner of physical training, nor was he practicing both physical training and spiritual training. Instead, he was obviously practicing some special physical secret technique.

This kind of secret method has extremely obvious emphasis and also extremely obvious flaws.

The disadvantages outweigh the advantages of practicing multiple skills individually. Only the skills of group battle formations can maximize the power of such secret skills.

And according to the secrets he knew, the Taoist army corps of the ancient Heavenly Palace was not comparable to the battle corps of today.

There are two types of Tiangong Taoist Corps. One is the prefectural military corps. This type of corps is usually formed by local prefectures and is under the dual command of the local prefectures and the Tiangong.

The other type is the Taoist army corps directly under the Heavenly Palace.

It is said that there were nine such legions during the heyday of the Heavenly Palace!

In every legion, the lowest level of cultivation is at the fake elixir level.

Jindan Zhenren is the main force!
The nine legions conquered all directions and established a foundation that is not comparable to the current Daheng.

When the Heavenly Palace collapsed, none of the nine legions that suppressed the world appeared in the world, and they all disappeared mysteriously.

Just like the many powerful men who dominated the contemporary world in the Heavenly Palace, they all disappeared without a trace before the Heavenly Palace completely collapsed.

What was left behind was a mess. The provinces and cities in the Heavenly Palace fought each other, and then slowly evolved into separatist regimes, fighting for hegemony, and finally, the Heavenly Palace completely collapsed.

"The Sky-strike Legion..."

Chu Mu looked at the rotten jade waist badge on the corpse, and a clear answer came to his mind.

The nine military headquarters of Daheng were actually modeled after the nine Taoist corps of Tiangong.

The name Chongxiao refers to the Chongxiao military department of Daheng today, and also to the Chongxiao Legion of the ancient Heavenly Palace.

This corpse...was obviously a member of the Tiangong Chongxiao Corps when he was alive.

In other words, Chongxiao Corps, the nine great corps of the Heavenly Palace, and even the mighty Heavenly Palace masters who suppressed the world, did not disappear mysteriously...

But...

Chu Mu stood up and saw countless corpses stretching out along the ground, endless.

Wherever the aura can be sensed, there is no corpse whose cultivation level is lower than the third level. There are countless human bodies, and endless demon bodies. The corpses of those strange insects are even more difficult to count.

Level three, level four...

Endless!

After some identification, Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.

Everywhere you look, there are countless corpses, the lowest of which is at the third level.

There are also quite a few fourth-order monsters, cultivators, and those strange insect-like beasts.

It was also extremely clear what the strange combination of flesh and blood that he had encountered before was.

It must have been born in this ancient battlefield, originating from the countless powerful beings who fell in these ancient times.

With this boundless scale...

After countless years of evolution... "It should... not have intelligence, right?"

Chu Mu was a little hesitant.

With such a size, there must be quite a few strange creatures that can be born.

If it has no intelligence, then it's still okay. As long as you hide carefully and don't leave any traces, there shouldn't be any big problem.

But if you have intelligence, it's completely different.

A huge force, and it also contains the high-level essence of the ancient humans and monsters...

Chu Mu restrained his aura, and the dark abyss enveloped his entire body, just like a tiny black hole. All traces disappeared without a trace the moment of contact.

As he walked through this sea of ​​corpses and blood, everything was more intuitively reflected in his vision.

It is very obvious that this must have been a great war in ancient times, and it is very likely that the Heavenly Palace and the Demon Court at that time joined forces.

However, no one knows what kind of changes have taken place, and the huge power of both the human and demon races has been buried in this battlefield.

Because of the special nature of this place, it is difficult for the outside world to spy on it. Perhaps it was for this reason that the once prosperous Demon Court and the Heavenly Palace in ancient times collapsed and were destroyed.

And these strange insect-like bodies...

Chu Mu stopped and carefully covered the body of a fourth-level insect beast with his spiritual sense.

Sure enough, even after countless years, that strong force of death and silence is still extremely clear.

With his understanding of the evolution of heaven, it was not difficult to see that in this thick silence, the traces of the evolution of heaven were also very clear.

These insect-like animal bodies must be the so-called sand-tailed scorpion population from ancient times. However, the sand-tailed scorpions here are more numerous and more complex than the sand-tailed scorpion population in the heavenly palace illusion.

Just like the Zerg he knew in his previous life, each race had its own division of labor and clear tasks.

The demon clan today has obviously continued this division of labor. Every demon race has different roles and statuses within the large demon clan.

Time has not worn away these corpses, but the spatial treasures they carried could not escape the erosion of time either. He has been on this ancient battlefield for a long time, but has not found any trace of the spatial treasures.

"This is……"

I don’t know when Chu Mu stopped again.

In his field of vision, there were mountains of corpses and blood, but at the end directly in front of him, there was a mountain of demon bodies. Each scale was several feet in size, and the scales were stacked on top of each other, stretching and curving.

At the end of the corpse, the dragon head was raised high, and the dragon horns seemed like twisted towering ancient trees, reaching straight into the sky.

The beast's opened eyes were filled with blood, and the strong sense of grief and unwillingness, even though separated by eternity, came over him like a tide.

Even though his aura was extremely restrained, Chu Mu couldn't stop trembling at this moment. Even with his cultivation at the limit of the fourth level, he couldn't withstand the pressure from the corpse that had been dead for countless years.

"Level 5!!!"

Chu Mu's breathing quickened and his eyes instantly became hot.

He let out a low roar, and his body, which was the size of a normal person, suddenly swelled up.

The robe was tightened and rapidly adapted to the changes in the body. The body, several feet tall, moved up and down like a twisted tree root. A sense of tremendous power instantly surged into Chu Mu's heart.

He took a step forward, and a huge pit exploded in the blood-stained wet ground with a bang. A hideous body flashed in the sea of ​​corpses and blood. In just a few breaths, he was in front of the towering and endless body of the dragon monster.

call out……

At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.

The sword stabbed straight forward, the void shattered, and a chilling coldness appeared at Chu Mu's neck in the blink of an eye.

Clang!
There was a crisp collision, and the sword blade froze. Chu Mu pinched the sword tip with two fingers, and his cold eyes instantly locked onto the attacking body that was no less ferocious than his.

It has a human body and a beast head, and its arms are not made of flesh and blood. Instead, there is a sword embedded in its right arm, and its left arm is also covered with huge cold claws.

On his head, there was beautiful human hair that danced in the wind. The hair was like snakes, extending towards him and covering him.

Chu Mu moved his fingertips slightly, and the force burst out, directly breaking the sword tip. He took a step forward, approached, and grasped the neck of this strange creature with his millstone-sized palm.

With a snap, its neck was shattered. The hair that was flying like snakes and covering it drooped down in an instant, and the scarlet eyes of the beast head also turned dim.

"Everything will turn to its opposite, from death to life..."

"However, due to the peculiarities of this place, the incarnation of a broken body will instinctively seek to replenish the vitality of the body, thus evolving into this kind of flesh and blood fusion..."

"The silence is too great, it should be difficult for spiritual intelligence to emerge..."

A complete and strange corpse fell into his hands. With the help of a touch of spiritual light, Chu Mu analyzed it carefully. In just a few breaths, as clues became clear, a rough conclusion emerged in Chu Mu's mind.

Chu Mu casually threw the broken corpse aside. As long as this place still existed, after countless years, this corpse might be reincarnated again and become this strange existence again.

At this moment, with a clear conclusion, Chu Mu felt a lot more at ease.

Beings without intelligence are nothing to be feared no matter how many there are.

The shackles of heaven and earth have not completely disappeared, and it should be impossible for a true fifth-level being to be born here...
