Chapter 1595
The teleportation channel brought Zi Chen to the Battlefield of Despair.
This was a real world like the Zhanwu Continent, but it was already heading toward destruction.
In front of him was a boundless desert. The ground looked like it was being roasted by flames. The high temperature rose, causing the space to distort.
There was no energy of heaven and earth that cultivators could use here. Even the air was very thin.
As soon as he entered the Battlefield of Despair, Zi Chen had an extra light shield around his body. This light shield had a strong defensive power, even stronger than the three layers of light shields that Wang Dong had supported.
Zi Chen looked around vigilantly. He wanted to find the source of the defensive light shield.
Then, a message appeared in Zi Chen's Sea of Consciousness.
This was an introduction to the Battlefield of Despair. Every outsider of the Zhanwu Continent had this treatment.
This was a real world that was not inferior to the Zhanwu Continent. This world was called Earth, and it was destroyed because of the invasion of the alien race.
All the natives of this world had died in battle, and the whole world was occupied by the alien race.
There were many alien races here, and they came from other places. The only enemy of the Zhanwu Continent was the alien race.
When the experts of the Zhanwu Continent found this world, it had already been occupied by the alien race. As the number of alien races living here increased, the other party was likely to find the location of the Zhanwu Continent and open up a new passage to the Zhanwu Continent.
Therefore, that expert opened up a passage on his own, and at the same time, let the experts of the Zhanwu Continent join in to kill the alien race here.
There were many kinds of alien races here, and they had strong combat power. They had already adapted to this world, and each of them was very fierce. In addition to the alien race, there were also some mutated beasts in this world, which were very difficult to deal with.
The light shield that appeared on its own could only last for a quarter of an hour. However, during this quarter of an hour, the light shield was invincible.
During the quarter of an hour when the light shield appeared, it gave people a preliminary understanding of the Battlefield of Despair.
As for the origin of the name, it was called the Battlefield of Despair because this world completely isolated the domain of cultivators.
Zi Chen could still sense the domain world, but there was a mysterious Rule Force that blocked the connection between the two sides. He could sense but could not fight.
As he sensed, Zi Chen found that the domain world seemed to become active after arriving here, and the speed at which the Void Tree absorbed power had also become much faster.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the Invincible Light Shield around Zi Chen dissipated. This meant that danger could come at any time.
Zi Chen held the Dragon Spear tightly in his hand, the Dragon Stinger was on his back, and the sheathed long saber was tied to his waist.
Zi Chen spread his spiritual senses in all directions. He did not sense any danger, but the first problem appeared in front of Zi Chen.
He found that the power in his body was slowly dissipating. It was as if there was a spirit absorbing array under the desert that was constantly sucking away Zi Chen's power.
In addition to the loss of power, the high temperature of the desert also made Zi Chen sweat. The water in his body flowed away with the sweat, and Zi Chen felt a thirst that he had not felt in a long time.
Right now, Zi Chen's mouth was as dry as a mortal's. It was hard for him to imagine whether or not he would feel hungry in a while.
Unable to withstand the scorching heat, Zi Chen had no choice but to put up an energy shield.
His energy was already dissipating, and now that he put up a shield, Zi Chen's consumption was undoubtedly greater.
Zi Chen's top priority was to quickly pass through this desert and find an oasis. Otherwise, he would probably die here.
When he first entered the Battlefield of Despair, Zi Chen already felt the cruelty of the environment here.
Zi Chen moved forward, and his pace gradually increased.
As he moved forward, the yellow sand behind him slowly sank, as if something was moving underground.
With the energy shield protecting his body, Zi Chen could still feel a trace of coolness, but the speed of energy consumption was too fast.
After moving forward for five miles, Zi Chen did not encounter a single life form. There was still no end to the yellow sand as far as the eye could see.
He stretched out his arm and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
The yellow sand on the ground rolled, and the grains of yellow sand shot out with a sharp whistling sound. Suddenly, a cold light shot out from the yellow sand and stabbed toward Zi Chen.
"Clang."
With his sharp senses, Zi Chen quickly turned around, but he was still a step too late. The cold light instantly hit the shield around him. This attack did not break through his defense, but it contained a powerful force. This force directly pushed Zi Chen back.
"Ha!"
Zi Chen, who was retreating, shouted loudly and forcibly stopped his retreat. The long spear in his hand suddenly shook and stabbed at the yellow sand in front of him.
This attack was faster and fiercer, and at the same time, it was accompanied by drops of sweat that splashed in all directions.
"Pu."
The long spear stabbed into the yellow sand and hit something. Immediately, an ear-piercing sound came from the yellow sand.
This sound seemed to be able to penetrate the soul, causing Zi Chen's mind to tremble and his movements to become sluggish.
Zi Chen shook his head, and the sweat along with the discomfort was flung out. Before Zi Chen could dig out the thing underground with his spear, he suddenly felt pain in his leg. He subconsciously looked down and saw a sharp thorn. Not only had it pierced his defensive shield, but it had also pierced his calf.
Aside from the pain, Zi Chen also felt a sense of dizziness. He immediately knew that there was poison on the thorns. To be able to make someone as strong as Zi Chen feel dizzy, the poison on the thorns must be highly toxic.
First, he encountered a soul attack, and then he encountered a highly toxic poison. This place was indeed full of danger.
However, in the next moment, a deadly aura of danger rose from the bottom of Zi Chen's heart. His face changed greatly, and his body directly rose into the air.
The yellow sand filled the sky, and sharp thorns suddenly appeared, stabbing toward the place where Zi Chen had been standing.
The one-meter-long thorns flashed with a cold light in the hot desert.
Zi Chen looked down, and his body was already covered in cold sweat.
At this moment, two gigantic creatures appeared in front of him.
These were two gigantic scorpions. They were the same color as the yellow sand, and were two meters long with a one-meter-long stinger.
At this moment, one of them was nailed by Zi Chen's spear, but it wasn't dead yet. It was still struggling, and its one-meter-long stinger was constantly stabbing at the Thunder Dragon Spear, producing clanging sounds.
As for the other one, because its stinger had pierced through Zi Chen's calf, it was directly lifted up by Zi Chen. Its stinger was stuck, and the stinger was swinging back and forth in Zi Chen's calf, causing waves of pain. At the same time, it was also borrowing force, and its huge pincers and ugly and sharp mouthparts were constantly opening and closing, trying to attack Zi Chen.
These two gigantic scorpions looked like a male and a female. Their sizes were clearly different. The one that was pierced by the spear was capable of soul attacks, but its stinger wasn't that strong.
As for the one that pierced through Zi Chen's body, it wasn't capable of soul attacks, but its stinger was poisonous, and it broke through Zi Chen's defense in one hit.
Below, sharp stingers appeared one after another, and there were no less than twenty gigantic scorpions. Zi Chen's figure once again rose into the air, and his sweat flowed like water, dripping onto the yellow sand.
"Bang."
The spear in his hand shook, and the Collapse Formula was used. The gigantic scorpion that was pierced by the spear completely exploded, turning into many pieces and falling down.
Then, Zi Chen swept his spear again, and the second gigantic scorpion's tail was cut off by him. As soon as the scorpion landed on the ground, it screamed and tried to drill into the ground to escape.
"Puff."
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the gigantic scorpion that had lost its stinger was pierced through by a stinger that broke out of the sand. Soon, the cold light flashed again, and seven or eight stingers pierced into the body of the previous gigantic scorpion.
The gigantic scorpion that had lost its tail died instantly.
The sand below began to churn violently, and the gigantic scorpions emerged one after another. They glanced at Zi Chen in the sky, and then walked towards the two dead gigantic scorpions. Soon, the group of gigantic scorpions devoured each other.
During the process, there were occasional disputes, and some of the gigantic scorpions couldn't help but shriek. Zi Chen, who was above his head, felt dizzy again.
He shook his head, and pulled out the stinger that pierced his leg.
Black blood flowed out of the wound, and it was indeed highly poisonous.
Zi Chen, who was about to throw the stinger down, suddenly hesitated, and then put it into his storage bag.
The two gigantic scorpions were quickly eaten, and then the group of gigantic scorpions that hadn't had enough yet raised their heads to look at Zi Chen. Looking at their eager expressions, it seemed that they could attack at any time.
Zi Chen's expression changed, and he didn't stay any longer. He flew into the air and flew away.
The yellow sand below continued to churn, and he could vaguely see the appearance of poisonous stingers one after another.
The Battlefield of Despair didn't restrict flying, but flying consumed too much energy. Without the support of the Domain World, Zi Chen couldn't bear this kind of consumption.
Thus, he came into contact with the light barrier around him and began to fly at high speed.
He still had a trace of connection with the Heavenly Thunder Wings, but he couldn't summon them at this time.
This desert was almost boundless. With Zi Chen's current strength, even if he used up all his energy, he couldn't fly out.
The sand below continued to churn as gigantic scorpions appeared one after another. They stared at Zi Chen, their eyes emitting greed and thirst.
His energy consumption quickly reached fifty percent. In this dangerous place, his battle strength was naturally at its peak, so Zi Chen didn't hesitate to take out a spirit crystal and began to absorb its energy.
Sure enough, in this world, spirit crystals could be used.
Strand after strand of energy entered Zi Chen's body, recovering Zi Chen's energy consumption. Zi Chen, on the other hand, accelerated his escape from this desert.
Zi Chen didn't expect that the moment he entered the Battlefield of Despair, he would begin to flee.
However, when the energy in the spirit crystal completely dissipated, Zi Chen found that he only had forty percent of his energy left.
During this time, he had consumed forty percent of his energy. In other words, one spirit crystal had only allowed Zi Chen to recover thirty percent of his energy.
And he had only recovered ninety percent of his energy after consuming three spirit crystals. This was a huge difference from his original estimate of one spirit crystal.
"Damn it, why is it like this?"
Zi Chen was flustered and exasperated. If Meng Xi hadn't given him a spirit crystal, Zi Chen would have already died in the yellow sand.
The scorching heat rose, and Zi Chen had to resist the heat while moving forward. The entire desert was like a boiling sea, constantly boiling, and poisonous stingers would occasionally appear in his field of vision.
In the Battlefield of Despair, although strength was important, luck was also indispensable.
