Chapter 567 Changes on the Battlefield

As his voice fell—

The Golden Light decomposed into a dense light rain which silently enveloped Ding Hao.

Ding Hao wanted to say more, but the Golden Light had completely dissipated.

The friendly spiritual fluctuation had completely disappeared. The golden rain of light gently infiltrated Ding Hao’s body and turned into a warm current, wandering in his limbs and bones. That wasn’t an ordinary Qi power, but the essence of divinity. It also contained a fluctuation of pure Divine Senses. Ding Hao’s body was silently transformed.

Ding Hao was deeply touched. He quickly collected himself, ran the Mind Essential, and began to absorb this power.

The pure fluctuation of Divine Senses, in particular, was a rare tonic for Ding Hao. The Mind Essential was running crazily, turning the energy of the Divine Senses to his own use. He could clearly feel that his Divine Senses, which had been cultivated, were slowly and firmly changing.

Time ticked by.

Ding Hao was completely immersed in this cultivation.

His body also underwent some magical changes.

His muscles gradually disappeared as if they were transparent, and his bones were as if they had been carved out of white jade.

Rays of golden light flared on his bones. His ribs were shining with a strange luster on top of which an ancient character gleamed. It was related to the bones that Ding Hao had practiced in the Yinyang Jade in Stone that faintly gave off a kind of divinity.

After an indeterminable amount of time, the white jade bones gradually vanished.

Ding Hao’s flesh and blood reappeared. He looked solemn. The divine light filled the air while the mists of heaven rose around him.

He looked like an eminent monk who had attained enlightenment, carrying an air of indescribable peace and solemnity. He was majestic like a holy spirit. The beating of his heart was like the roar of dragons and tigers and the ringing of a fairy bell. His blood was steaming; it rushed through the blood vessels like a roaring river. His vitality was incredibly vigorous.

With the pulsing and throbbing in his heart, the muscles in his body vibrated over and over again, expelling the impurities from his body.

Ding Hao had entered a strange state.

Wave after wave of barely discernible power pervaded his body as if an invisible heart was constantly contracting and expanding.

“What’s wrong with Brother Ding?” Ji Yingqi stood on the platform at the top of the great golden tower, looking worried.

The small golden altar was in front of her; in turn, the altar was in front of the statue of the god-like master in golden armor-. Ding Hao sat cross-legged in the void. Clouds of golden light were constantly emitted from the statue, pouring into Ding Hao’s body.

This state had lasted for more than a month.

For more than 40 days before, Ding Hao had entered this state since he touched the statue of the golden-armored supreme master for the first time.

At first, Ji Yingqi thought that Ding Hao was lighting the divine fire of this golden-armored statue.

But after such a long time, she was a little uncertain.

As time went by, the deadline for the Sage Battlefield’s conclusion drew closer and closer. If he failed to ignite his divine fire before he was expelled by this space, his divine soul would be destroyed if he were to be disrupted. It was extremely dangerous.

Several times, the troublemakers Ren Xiaoyao and Evil Moon went to the top of the great tower and tried to wake Ding Hao up, but they were stopped by Ji Yingqi.

But then, Ji Yingqi also started to lose patience.

She could clearly feel that the world was beginning to reject her.

It was as if the gravity under her feet was about to disappear and she were to float up.

As she raised her head, she saw that the walls in the sky were no longer stable and cracks that looked like spider webs were beginning to form. That was a sign that the transmission grid to this space was about to rupture. Once the time was up, no matter which part of the Sage Battlefield they were at, they would be expelled through those cracks.

“If Brother Ding still hasn’t woken up by that time, what should we do?”

Ji Yingqi was worried.

“If all fails, then I can only… destroy this golden-armored statue!” This was the only solution that she could think of. She presumed that as long as she destroyed the divine fire tower, there would be no injuring power, so it wouldn’t harm Ding Hao.

However, this would also take away a valuable opportunity from Ding Hao.

She was in a serious dilemma.

Over the past few days, on the top of the giant tower, one could occasionally hear some roaring sounds over the distance and sense the terrifying energy fluctuations emitted from this massive Fake God city. It was clear that some masters were fighting with the stone puppets and the results were hard to predict. However, no one had been able to break through the stone puppets line of protection to reach this great golden tower, where countless divine fire towers were placed.

The strength of the stone puppets was truly terrifying.

The suppressive force of this world was so great that it was impossible for the masters of the Human and the Demon Clan to break to the tower.

If it weren’t for the bone bracelet in Ding Hao’s hand that triggered the transmission grid on the wordless stone tablet, Ding Hao’s group would have been unable to reach that place. It would have been impossible, even if Ding Hao had summoned the forbidden force of the rusted sword and the magic saber.

After all, every time he summoned the forbidden force, it would consume too much of his Qi, so it could only last for a moment.

“Meow. My human pet hasn’t woken up yet?” A white light flashed and Evil Moon, the Fat Cat, appeared.

“Senior Brother Ding’s Qi is constantly strengthening. A small portion of Zhu Huai blood in the four cauldrons has yet to dry up. The process of igniting the divine fire has not yet been completed…” Ren Xiaoyao also landed at the top of the great tower and concluded after some careful observation.

“Make preparations. If Brother Ding still hasn’t woken up after a day, go ahead and break the golden-armored statue. Brother Ren, can you do that?” Ji Yingqi frowned.

Ren Xiaoyao shook his head and said, “I’m not sure.”

Before he had finished replying.

“Boom!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

A burst of loud bangs broke out in the distance.

The two of them and the cat looked back. In the far end of the Fake God City, there seemed to be a massive earthquake. The high-rise buildings collapsed. Smoke and dust rose to the sky. Underground flames burst out. Magma began to flow like a river between the huge buildings along the street…

“What’s going on?”

“It seems like this world is about to be destroyed….”

“Meow, I can smell the destruction of the world!”

The two men and the cat were shocked by what they saw.

It was the hard rocks that even the Martial Emperor had failed to break, but they were like sand in a hurricane; such a destructive force was turning them into dust. The magnificent buildings slowly collapsed and shattered like sand sculptures that had been struck by the tidal waves…

Smoke rose in the air. The place was like a battlefield.

The stone puppets, which had the combat strength of a Martial Emperor at his peak, also collapsed under the destructive power.

“The world is about to end. Not only this city but also the entire Sage Battlefield is going to collapse!” Ji Yingqi seemed to have sensed something.

Endless illusions.

Li Lan was exhausted both physically and mentally.

He slowly walked through an unlit wilderness barefoot, wearing a white robe with his hair down.

With no fearsome attacks or fatal traps, there seemed to be no perceivable danger on this ancient westbound road.

But he just couldn’t walk out of the wilderness.

He was still on the eleventh section of the ancient westbound road, not knowing how much time had passed.

The land mass wasn’t very large, but it was barren and deserted. Withered yellow weeds grew wildly under the dark light. White bones were scattered. Black wastewater flowed along the rolling hills. All the power in Li Lan’s body had been sealed. He was like an ordinary person walking in the wilderness with no idea how to get out.

The only unusual thing was that he was being followed by a beautiful woman with black hair, exquisite figure, and snow-white skin.

She was like a ghost floating in the void, light as a feather.

He stretched out his hand but his finger passed through her body. It was just an illusion.

However, the woman’s face stayed blurred the whole time. She was shrouded in a white mist with no facial features.

This ghost-like woman appeared beside him from the moment Li Lan entered this world. She didn’t say a word. Although she had no eyes, she seemed to be staring at him. She kept following him closely like a shadow.

“How could it be? There must be a way to get out of this illusionary ancient road. There should be a solution to this!” Li Lan thought hard.

He was resourceful. In the past, he had encountered many difficulties but he successfully solved them all.

Unfortunately, this time, he didn’t have the slightest clue.

What exactly did this barren world represent?

Who on earth was this ghost-like woman in white?

He couldn’t find any clues.

“Will I spend the rest of my life in this illusion?”

Li Lan frowned.

He had a vague feeling that there was a light ahead: a light that could dispel all haze and darkness, one that could save him. However, for some unknown reason, no matter how he ran or pursued, how fast or slow he moved, the light remained at the same distant; neither closer nor farther from him.

He couldn’t catch the light of hope.

Finally, Li Lan stopped.

Looking down, he found that the last pair of shoes had been worn out. His bare feet were almost deformed, covered with cracks and scars. Blood and pus were flowing. It gave him a heart-wrenching pain.

Li Lan was a little tired.

He quietly stood there. Looking at his own face through the reflection on the puddle at his feet, he sighed in his heart. “If I can’t find a way out, why don’t I just stop and resign myself to fate?

“If I die here, it is also a peaceful way to end my life, isn’t it?”

He slowly sat down.

His eyelids grew heavy. He had an urge to fall asleep and never wake up.
