The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 128: The heroes gather together, the remains of the weapon refiner
The next day, the battlefield fell.

In this ancient battlefield full of crises, hundreds of forces, large and small, poured in within just a few days.

They explored the ruins like rats, and every time a relic was discovered, it would be followed by people from all sides like sharks smelling blood.

As a result, the ruins turned into bloody meat grinders, and countless strong men fell, making the entire sky covered with a layer of blood-red.

After everyone has rested,
Outside the crimson valley,
At the command of the Sky Eagle Emperor, except for the Mountain-Splitting King who stayed behind, Lu Chen and others all set off, each leading their own army and dividing into four groups to sweep towards the four directions of the Fallen Battlefield.

……

Time passed slowly during the march.

Three days later,

Fallen Battlefield, southwest area.

When Emperor Eagle and Lu Chen led the army into this area, they suddenly discovered that the popularity here was much stronger than any other place along the way.

At this time, in all directions of the sky, groups of people and horses of different sizes rushed past, and then rushed towards the depths of this area at lightning speed.

"It seems like quite a few forces have learned about this level of ruins."

"Old Ghost, are you sure this information is top secret?"

Looking at the light and shadows constantly passing by in the sky, Lu Chen's face unconsciously darkened. He pulled over the tied-up old man Cang Jian and questioned him sternly.

"Old man, old man doesn't know either. The Divine Pavilion... That's what the Divine Pavilion said. They said they detected a first-level ruin, but couldn't open it, so they summoned all the affiliated forces, hoping to gather everyone's strength and work together to open it."

The old man Cang Jian smiled awkwardly and said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Can't open it?"

"Who sent you the message from the Divine Pavilion?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned and said.

"It's Pavilion Master Nan, one of the four Pavilion Masters."

The old man Cang Jian replied quickly.

Hearing this, Lu Chen turned to look at the Sky Eagle King.

The Sky Eagle Emperor said solemnly, "An eighth-grade supreme being, his strength is on par with mine."

Lu Chen frowned and said, "Even an eighth-grade supreme being can't open it. Could it be that the owner of the ruins was a ninth-grade supreme being?"

The Sky Eagle Emperor shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid he's not even an ordinary ninth-grade being. Otherwise, after so much time has passed, the power remaining in the ruins would have long since weakened, making it impossible for him to stop an eighth-grade supreme being."

"The owner of that relic was probably a formidable figure among the Ninth Rank Supremes during his lifetime."

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly and said, "That's not surprising. I guess the Divine Pavilion deliberately released the news. Then let's go and see who the owner of the ruins is."

Immediately, the Sky Eagle Emperor nodded slightly, and the two led the army forward.

After a while,

Deep in the southwest region, the Skeleton Mountains.

In this vast area, amidst the numerous mountain ranges, countless bones were exposed. Looking around, the entire mountain range was rendered a bleak white...

In the past, this mountain range of bones was sparsely populated. After all, although many powerful people had fallen in this area, no valuable relics had ever been found there, so the major forces in the northern region rarely came here.

But this time, it was because of the news released by the Divine Pavilion that countless forces, both large and small, flocked to the area, and for a time, they were spread all over the mountain range.
When Lu Chen and others had just led the army here, suddenly there were sounds of breaking wind between heaven and earth, and countless black lights and shadows surged like black clouds.

Lu Chen looked up and saw an army of men clad in black armor, their bodies filled with a cold fighting spirit. Judging from the fighting spirit gushing from their bodies, it was probably comparable to that of a peak-level sixth-grade supreme powerhouse...

The leaders of that army were two figures, one old and one young. The first was a thin man in a black robe. His lips, like knife blades, were slightly raised, exuding a sense of sharpness.

The other one was an old man in a black robe. He had gray hair and seemingly cloudy eyes, but there was a gleam of brilliance in the depths. He held a skull staff in his hand and stood in the air.

The seemingly hunched figure exuded a terrifying pressure, causing all the strong men in this world to change their expressions drastically.

"It's Lin Ming, the battle formation genius of the Nether Palace, and Elder Netherfire, one of the Three Elders of the Nether Palace!"

"I didn't expect the Nether Palace to actually send him out. Elder Netherfire is an Eighth-Rank Supreme. Isn't the Divine Pavilion afraid of losing control of the situation and losing both people and money?"

"Who knows? But that's the remains of the Ghost Hand Old Man, who was known as a genius in refining weapons..."

……

Listening to the discussions between heaven and earth, Lu Chen did not stay on the people in the Nether Palace, but quickly shifted his gaze and looked at another part of the sky.

There, there is also a large group of people, that is the Divine Pavilion.

At the very front of the Divine Pavilion, there were three figures standing between heaven and earth.

On the far left was a gray-haired man with an extremely strong body, giving people a strong sense of oppression. When his eyes glanced around, he was filled with the might of a dragon.

In the middle is a woman in a white dress sitting in a wheelchair. She has skin as white as snow, oval cheeks, and a delicate face. She exudes a delicate temperament.

On the far right was an old man in a red robe, with a stern face and a particularly sinister look in his eyes. A tremendous spiritual power emanated from his old body, which was comparable to that of the old man Netherfire.

"The one on the far left is Tianlong Lord, one of the ten mountain masters of the Divine Pavilion. Inside the Divine Pavilion there are four pavilion masters and ten mountain masters, corresponding one to the Three Sovereigns and Nine Kings of our Daluo Heavenly Realm."

"The Dragon Lord is the number one among the ten mountain lords, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the seventh-grade supreme."

"The old fellow on the far right is Pavilion Master Nan. As for the girl in the middle, if I'm not mistaken, she should be the battle formation genius trained by the Divine Pavilion, Zhan Tai Liuli."

Seeing Lu Chen looking in the direction of the Divine Pavilion, Emperor Tianjiu smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and explained slowly.

Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded slightly and said, "From this perspective, half of the six top forces in the Northern Realm are here. Only the Demon Sect, the Snake God Temple, and the All Saints Mountain are not present."

As for Xuantian Palace, after losing Liu Tiandao, it was wiped out by other top forces. Lu Chen only learned this news after entering the Fallen Battlefield.

At this time, on the other side, towards the Divine Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master Nan, it's almost done."

"The troops from Daluo Tianyu and Nether Palace have all arrived. With three eighth-grade supreme beings here, this should be enough to open the ruins."

"Furthermore, the Netherworld Palace has always been at odds with the Daluo Heavenly Realm. The fact that only two of their top forces have come is the best outcome for us."

Above the sky, the Dragon Lord crossed his arms, turned to look at the red-robed old man beside him, and said.

Pavilion Master Nan nodded slightly, his eyes swept around, pausing only slightly at Emperor Tianjiu and Old Man Minghuo, then slowly retracted his gaze.

Facing the crowd, he clasped his hands together, smiled faintly and said, "Haha, I, the Divine Pavilion, would like to thank you all for coming here at our invitation."
