Chapter 2047: Chapter 2047: Disaster in the Outer Domain Battlefield

Outer Battlefield Area Two.

Ye Feng stood proudly in the void, surrounded by powerhouses like the Sun Divine King, all wielding quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons. They continuously attacked the invading enemies but did not bother with the bodies.

"Haha, hurry and divide the spoils of war!"

However, it was the Disciple of the Misty Holy Sect who quickly harvested those corpses, refining them into one meritorious deed after another, and then happily storing them away, as if they were celebrating a New Year feast.

This made everyone confused.

"Why are your sect’s disciples always collecting the corpses of the Cosmic Sea powerhouses? Shouldn’t they focus on defeating the enemy at this time?" The Sun Divine King expressed his lack of understanding.

Ye Feng smiled without saying a word.

Accumulating meritorious deeds can be exchanged for a chance at a baptism, which is a method for advancing to quasi-Heavenly Venerable status—not something to be publicized casually.

However, Ye Feng decided he would reveal this secret.

Only because, currently, only in the Twin Universe can one use meritorious deeds to exchange for a baptism opportunity.

Other Universes temporarily don’t have this benefit.

"The meritorious crystal refined from the corpses of Cosmic Sea creatures can actually be exchanged for a baptism opportunity from the Cosmic Consciousness, to advance to quasi-Heavenly Venerable!"

"Unfortunately, it seems only the Cosmic Consciousness of the Twin Universe has this feature. Otherwise, we could also accumulate meritorious deeds used for proving the path to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable."

"Indeed, it’s a pity."

The Sun Divine King and others felt quite regretful.

Ye Feng said, "Your ideas are not bad. You can try to communicate with your Universe’s Cosmic Consciousness. If you can use meritorious deeds to prove the path to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable or even Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, it would be a good way to improve yourself."

"I’ll go back and ask immediately." The Sun Divine King nodded, left Outer Battlefield Area Two, and returned to the Great Sun Universe, using the Eye of the Sun Scepter to communicate with the Cosmic Consciousness to inquire about the relevant situation.

"We will also go back and have a look."

The Crystal People, Ancient Trees of the Holy Tree Grand Universe, and other God-King level cultivators quickly retreated, inquiring their Universe’s Cosmic Consciousness to see if it’s possible to prove the path to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable by accumulating meritorious deeds.

Soon, the Great Sun Universe responded.

"Haha, it’s possible to prove the way, that’s great!"

The Sun Divine King returned to Outer Battlefield Area Two, declaring the result he found.

"In our Great Sun Universe, one can also prove the path to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable by accumulating meritorious deeds, but three God-King-level Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors must accumulate a certain amount of these deeds together to initiate a proving ceremony, which ends with the three God-King level powerhouses competing for the final qualification."

The Sun Divine King explained thusly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was taken aback: "Isn’t the condition for proving the path too deceitful? Isn’t this like paying two extra fees, and in the end possibly not even proving oneself, but rather working for others?"

The Sun Divine King suddenly realized, "You have a point. But at least we can prove to become Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, even though the probability is just one-third, it’s still much better than before."

Ye Feng gave a helpless smile.

The Cosmic Consciousness of the Great Sun Universe knew exactly how to make a profit. The strong in the Universe must first collect three portions of meritorious deeds for them, and then they only need to use one portion of the deeds to cultivate a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

Equivalent to earning two Half-Step Heavenly Venerable-level energies for every Half-Step Heavenly Venerable they cultivate.

This Cosmic Consciousness is practically a shrewd merchant!

Of course, it is a willing buyer and a willing seller. After all, without this method, the cultivators of the Great Sun Universe wouldn’t even be able to prove as Half-Step Heavenly Venerables.

"Haha, our Universe can also prove the path."

Before long, other Great Universe cultivators returned and announced similar good news.

But, the Cosmic Consciousness was too cunning.

It required five Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors to each provide one portion of Half-Step Heavenly Venerable-level meritorious deeds before opening a path-proving ceremony and selecting a final winner from these five to prove the path to Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.

The other high-grade Great Universes were the same.

At least three portions of Half-Step Heavenly Venerable-level deeds were needed to open a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable path-proving ceremony, earning at least two additional energies of Half-Step Heavenly Venerable level.

"Black-hearted merchant!"

Ye Feng shook his head helplessly.

Compared to the Holy Tree Grand Universe, the Great Sun Universe, and other high-grade Great Universes, the Twin Universe is practically an honest dealer, requiring only one portion of quasi-Heavenly Venerable-level meritorious deeds to promote a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable to a quasi-Heavenly Venerable.

So, this side barely skimps.

"Slay the Outer Realm Evil Spirits!"

"We all have quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons. By slaying enough Outer Realm Evil Spirits and accumulating enough meritorious deeds, we can start the Half-Step Heavenly Venerable path-proving war."

"Yes, let’s go!"

The Sun Divine King, Crystal People, Holy Tree Grand Universe’s Ancient Tree Immortal Emperors, driven by adrenaline, charged and brutally slaughtered the Cosmic Sea invaders.

In front of Demon-quelling City.

Qiao Jiaxi, Jia Yulan, and other disciples were slaughtering tens of thousands of Abyssal Demons. Although they were quickly submerged and torn apart by the army, they could rapidly resurrect and continue fighting.

Both sides were still evenly matched.

If a powerhouse with absolute strength did not intervene, this battle might last for tens of thousands of years.

In the high sky.

Ye Feng yawned, finding the battle between both sides truly bizarre, like evenly matched needles against wheat, neither able to completely suppress the other.

This kind of battle is most time-consuming.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of September.

Jia Yulan directly ended the battle, returned to the Twin Universe, smoothly fused with a path-proving qualification mark, and subsequently defeated nine competitors with ease.

This time, it was finally her turn to prove the path.

This matter did not cause a commotion.

After all, everyone was already numb, feeling that this year’s Half-Step Heavenly Venerables were mostly claimed by the Misty Holy Sect’s disciples, with others temporarily having no hope of proving the path.

To prove the path, one could only wait for the others to come after.

Outer Battlefield Area Two.

After proving the path, Jia Yulan returned, joining the battle with Half-Step Heavenly Venerable cultivation, and cooperated seamlessly with Qiao Jiaxi, starting to counter-press the Abyss Demon Army.

"Another Half-Step Heavenly Venerable!"

"That’s Jia Yulan, a First Generation Disciple of the Misty Holy Sect, with exceptional talent, her combat strength surpassing ten times the average Invincible Supreme. Now, proven as Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, her strength might contend with the usual quasi-Heavenly Venerable."

"She’s truly formidable!"

The God-King level powerhouses of several high-grade Great Universes, including the Great Sun Universe, were enviously admiring.

"Haha, I’ve accumulated enough meritorious deeds."

Before long, the Sun Divine King ended the slaughter at Outer Battlefield Area Two and brought deeds equivalent to those of three Half-Step Heavenly Venerables back to the Great Sun Universe.

"It’s a blessing!"

The Sun Divine King hastily summoned two God-King level powerhouses of his tribe, distributed the deeds among them, and the three of them fulfilled the path-proving conditions of the Great Sun Universe.

Thus, the Great Sun Universe began the path-proving ceremony.

The Sun Divine King, along with two God-King level powerhouses, each fused with a path-proving qualification mark and launched a battle in the starry sky, ending with the Sun Divine King’s victory.

Thereafter, he began merging the marks.

Several days later.

A powerful aura swept across the entire Great Sun Universe, attracting countless cultivators’ attention.

"It’s the Sun Divine King, he’s proven the path."

"Haha, that’s fantastic."

"Our Great Sun Universe finally has a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable to oversee, making it even more prosperous."

The people of the Great Sun Universe cheered one after another.

Amidst clattering sounds!

As the Great Sun Universe absorbed three portions of Half-Step Heavenly Venerable-level energy origins, it spent one to cultivate the Sun Divine King into a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, with the remaining two portions of the origin converting into abundant energy that continuously nourished the current Universe.

Countless worlds experienced a phenomenon of Spiritual Energy revival.

A large number of prodigies were born.

Some who were stuck at a certain realm managed to break through their bottleneck due to the revival of Spiritual Energy.

"This universe is not too greedy after all."

Ye Feng once again arrived at the Great Sun Universe and learned that the Cosmic Consciousness was releasing excess energy to nourish itself and in turn, benefitting the cultivators. Therefore, he nodded, expressing approval of the Great Sun Universe’s consciousness.

This Cosmic Consciousness is indeed generous.

The reason why it became a "black-hearted merchant" was ultimately to make the universe more prosperous.

In no time.

Cultivators from several Superior Universes such as the Holy Tree Great Universe and Crystal People Great Universe, also under the leadership of those holding Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons, successfully accumulated multiple Half-step Heavenly Venerable level merits, thus beginning their path to enlightenment.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Each of these Superior Universes gave birth to a Half-step Heavenly Venerable, all of whom were previously universe-master level powerhouses, similar to the Master of Demon Spirits.

Now, with the cultivation level of Half-step Heavenly Venerable and a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon in hand, they were formidable, capable of directly contending with Quasi-Heavenly Venerables.

On the Demon-quelling City.

"Kill!"

Several Half-step Heavenly Venerables joined forces, each wielding a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon, their unleashed power terrifying to the extreme, instantly eradicating a hundred thousand Abyssal Demons before they could resurrect.

"Haha, finally succeeded once!"

Everyone cheered excitedly.

This time, they effectively acted as multiple Quasi-Heavenly Venerables uniting, first feigning an attack, then concentrating their firepower to instantly annihilate an Abyss Demon Army.

With a crash...

As the hundred thousand Abyssal Demons fell, they transformed into abundant energy flows, vibrating in the void, with the majority absorbed by the disciples of the Misty Holy Sect, turning into merit.

The remaining part was obtained by the Sun Divine King and others.

"Fellow Daoist Qiao Jiaxi, let’s continue to collaborate, striving to eliminate this Abyss Demon Army numbering in the tens of thousands."

The Sun Divine King communicated.

"No problem." Qiao Jiaxi nodded.

Previously, the Sun Divine King and several Half-step Heavenly Venerables successfully obliterated a hundred thousand-strong army due to secretly collaborating with Qiao Jiaxi and others, with disciples of the Misty Holy Sect absorbing their fire and the others launching sneak attacks.

Clearly, this collaboration was very successful.

"Kill!"

Everyone continued to cooperate, replicating the strategy, and after several attempts, they succeeded once more, entirely wiping out a second Abyss Demon Army numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

This brought in a large amount of merit again.

Outer Domain Battlefield One.

"Hahaha, you’re doomed."

Just as Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others were battling against the tens of thousands strong Abyss Demon Army, Emperor Dragon Sovereign suddenly emerged from the ground, instantly eradicating the hundred thousand-strong army.

"Damn, it’s Emperor Dragon Sovereign!"

"This person is a top-level Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, and he resorts to sneak attacks, what a disgrace!"

The behind-the-scenes Silver Eyebrow Venerable and others were infuriated.

They had originally arranged for a massive Abyss Demon Army to enter the Outer Battlefield to stall Mo Ying, Qiao Jiaxi, and other disciples of the Misty Holy Sect, using the ability to resurrect to hold the battle, but didn’t anticipate this outcome.

The Sun Divine King, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, and other powerhouses resorted to sneak attacks, an approach that was indeed vexing.

Days later.

Nearly a million strong Abyss Demon Army dispatched to Battlefield One and Battlefield Two were entirely exterminated.

This greatly pained the Silver Eyebrow Venerable.

"Why are you worried? We still have the great Master of the Abyss. Once he emerges, the survival capability of the Abyss Demon Army can increase tenfold. By then, even multiple Quasi-Heavenly Venerables joining hands won’t be able to instantly wipe out any fifty-thousand strong Abyss Demon Army."

Venerable Hong Mei remained very confident.

He believed the strength of the Abyssal Demons was undeniable.

At present, the overall capability of such a strategy was likely stronger than the Destroyer’s Treasure Box, but it required the leadership of the Master of the Abyss, regrettably, this person had yet to emerge.

"Venerable, do we still need to continue deploying the Abyss Demon Army to invade those two Outer Battlefields?" a Half-step Heavenly Venerable cautiously inquired.

"No need." Venerable Hong Mei replied.

"Then shall we halt the invasion?" the inquiring Half-step Heavenly Venerable was visibly regretful.

Not continuing the invasion meant being unable to acquire new cultivation resources, which was indeed a pity.

"No, we can invade other Outer Battlefields; after all, there are over a hundred similar Outer Battlefields. Quickly dispatch the Abyss Demon Army into them, crush the myriad universes within."

Venerable Hong Mei coldly announced.

His decision directly determined the fate of countless lower and middle-grade Great Universes, as even Superior Universes would find it difficult to remain unscathed.

A certain Outer Battlefield.

This place is connected to several thousand universes, among which there are more than a dozen Superior Great Universes, each possessing a Half-step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon.

Therefore, the lineup here wasn’t weak.

Furthermore, the Abyss Clan’s army was dispersed, making it very challenging to capture this place, continuously keeping it in a tug-of-war state.

But, the tide of battle suddenly changed.

On this day, over a million-strong Abyssal Demon Army invaded this Outer Battlefield, directly forming ten teams, each with a hundred-thousand-strong army, spreading out for attacks.

"What are those monsters?"

"I don’t know."

"I haven’t seen them before, but we have several Half-step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons, what do we fear? Charge!"

These God-King level powerhouses were confident.

However, after one impact, several dozen God-King level powerhouses died on the spot, and although the million-strong Abyssal Demon Army lost tens of thousands, they quickly resurrected, continuing the battlefield assault, gradually taking the upper hand.

"There’s something wrong with these demons!"

"Quick, call for the Divine Weapons!"

Unfortunately, even with several top-tier God-Kings wielding Half-step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons, they remained helpless because these Abyssal Demons, once killed, could resurrect swiftly, continuing the fight against powerhouse after powerhouse from various universes.

In less than half a day.

The entire Outer Battlefield was massacred, even those wielding Half-step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons perished amidst the chaos, their paths cut short.

Thud!

A figure descended at the center of the battlefield, holding an orange mountain-splitting axe, glowing all over, picking up a few fallen Half-step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons off the ground, a sinister and proud smirk forming at the corner of his mouth.

"As expected of the Abyssal Demon Army, even those with Half-step Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapons couldn’t survive. Now, these things are all mine."

The person carried the spoils of war back.

Not long after.

A regular million-strong Abyss Clan army took residence in this Outer Battlefield, constructing an Ancient City, using it as a center to invade all the universes here.

Soon, numerous universes fell.

The resources within were all seized by the Abyss Clan powerhouses to cultivate more Abyssal Demons.

Ye Feng was unaware of all this.

Outer Domain Battlefield One.

Ye Feng took out two fully matured Destiny Fruits, handing them to Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie respectively.

"These are Destiny Fruits, all fully matured. Each of you take one."
