Chapter 1638

In the past half a year, they hadn't rested at all. They had been fighting all day.

Compared to half a year ago, their cultivation levels hadn't changed much, but their combat power had greatly increased.

Everyone was filled with a murderous aura, which was the result of half a year of killing.

Zi Chen had also condensed thousands of items in the past half a year. Now, everyone had top-grade items in their hands. With these items, they could definitely kill an alien at the same level as them.

After several months, they returned to their former gathering place. Old Schenker had been waiting for them for a long time.

"Have you prepared everything?" Zi Chen asked.

Old Schenker pointed behind him and said, "The quantity is enough."

Large wooden barrels were placed there one after another. There were more than a hundred of them, and they were all filled with wine according to Zi Chen's instructions.

In the Battlefield of Despair, even water cost spirit crystals. As for wine, it was a real luxury.

However, the war was imminent. After today, there might not be a tomorrow. Zi Chen wanted to reward everyone.

This might be the last wine in their lives.

"Man Shi, take some people and bring back some prey," Zi Chen shouted at Man Shi in the distance.

Man Shi walked over. When he saw the barrels, his eyes immediately lit up. He almost instantly understood Zi Chen's meaning. He directly called over twenty people and rushed into the forest.

Miserable cries rang out one after another. About a quarter of an hour later, everyone returned, carrying two huge exotic beasts.

"Come and help," Man Shi shouted. Everyone immediately surrounded them and began to dissect and clean them up.

Zi Chen walked to the side with Old Schenker to discuss the details of the siege.

"When do you plan to attack?" Old Schenker asked.

"Three days later, at noon. We'll attack on time."

Zi Chen said in a deep voice, "I'll definitely attack on time, but you can't make any mistakes."

"Don't worry. I can make a round trip in three days. Moreover, I'll rush over and attack the city with you."

"Then are you sure there won't be a Ninefold in the city?"

"Don't worry. A Ninefold won't be in the mood to stay in the city."

On the other side, the two were still discussing the details.

As for the rear, everyone had already started to roast meat. This was a rare gathering, so everyone was very excited.

Bonfires were set up one after another. Soon, waves of meat fragrance wafted out.

There was a bonfire in front of Zi Chen. Only he and old man Schenker were sitting there. There was no roasted meat in front of them, but they were whispering something to each other.

Without waiting for the meat to be roasted, barrel after barrel of wine was opened. Bursts of wine fragrance wafted out. Someone had already begun to distribute the wine, carrying barrel after barrel.

"Why can't we talk about it tomorrow? Why must we talk about it today?"

Man Shi walked over and interrupted the conversation between Zi Chen and Old Man Schenker, placing a large barrel of wine beside them.

Zi Chen used his energy to condense two wine bowls. He looked at the old man and asked with a smile, "Old man, you look old. Can you still drink?"

"Kid, you're underestimating me. Back then, Tang Nuo couldn't even beat this old man in drinking," Old Man Schenker said with his head held high.

"Who is Tang Nuo? I don't know him. Come, let me broaden my horizons."

Zi Chen tossed a wine bowl to the old man, then poured out two bowls of wine. He downed one bowl and shouted happily.

Speaking of which, this was his first time drinking in the Battlefield of Despair.

The old man didn't hesitate and downed one bowl.

Not far from the bonfire, Man Shi, who had downed a bowl of wine, looked at Wu Xie in confusion and said, "I already gave you wine. Didn't you say you would give the meat? Why are you still eating?"

Wu Xie rolled his eyes and pointed to a spot not far away, saying, "Idiot, do you still need me? Look over there."

Looking at where Wu Xie was pointing, Man Shi saw the three women carefully roasting meat. He immediately understood and closed his mouth, only pouring wine.

The three women were very careful when roasting meat, but they rarely did this kind of thing in the past. Shangguan Hong and Jin Qingcheng were a little flustered, but Dong Qing seemed to be very skilled.

Clearly, the three of them were going to give the roasted meat to Zi Chen.

Sure enough, three portions of roasted meat were placed in front of Zi Chen. The color of Dong Qing's portion wasn't bad, but the other two were a little black and smelled burnt.

Looking at the three portions of roasted meat, Zi Chen was slightly stunned when he saw the three people.

The three of them said in unison, "Thank you, Lord Zi Chen, for your generous help during this time. This little girl will definitely remember it."

The three of them didn't speak softly, and many people heard them. They looked at the three of them in a daze, then looked at Zi Chen and couldn't help laughing.

Clearly, if Zi Chen accepted the roasted meat, he wouldn't be able to accept spirit crystals. One had to know that the three of them had spent a huge amount of money.

Zi Chen shook his head and said helplessly, "When did you learn to be like this? Sit down."

"Old man, let me introduce you …"

As soon as Zi Chen opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Old Man Schenker. He said with a smile, "No need to introduce me. Of course, this old man knows the three of them. For their things, this old man has traveled a lot."

The three of them smiled gratefully at Old Man Schenker. During this time, the old man had sent them things of good quality and special effects.

Then, Shendao, Fortune Teller, Man Shi, Wu Xie, Dark Mantle and others also came and sat down.

"These are all brothers who have gone through life and death with me." After Zi Chen introduced everyone one by one, he said to Old Man Schenker.

"It's really rare to find so many brothers who have gone through life and death with me." Old Man Schenker said with emotion.

Tonight was a night of revelry. After tonight, the next time they drank would be after the battle.

As for these 6,755 people, it was unknown how many of them would survive after the battle ended.

Thus, everyone was also constantly competing with each other in drinking.

Zi Chen stood up with a bowl of wine in his hand. Everyone gradually stopped drinking. Everyone looked at Zi Chen. Everyone knew that their leader had something to say.

"Everyone, today is a happy day. Let's not talk nonsense. I hope that everyone can drink together today. Three days later, we can still drink together."

As soon as he finished speaking, he downed the wine.

Loud cheers came from all around. Bowl after bowl of wine was drunk.

The atmosphere here was even more lively.

Shoumu and Wharton also came to Zi Chen's side. After a while, Mou Si also came to drink a few bowls of wine with Zi Chen.

Then, the others came one after another to express their gratitude. Zi Chen, the leader, drank a lot.

"Lord Zi Chen, I heard that you came from the Tianwu Continent. I wonder what kind of place it is." Shangguan Hong teased under the influence of wine.

Her little face was a little red. She looked at Zi Chen and giggled.

"The Tianwu Continent. Zi Chen, you came from the Tianwu Continent."

Clearly, not everyone knew that Zi Chen came from the Tianwu Continent. Quite a few people were curious. Even Old Man Schenker looked at Zi Chen in surprise.

This was Shoumu's first time hearing the name of the Tianwu Continent.

Everyone looked at Zi Chen expectantly, hoping that Zi Chen would tell them some interesting stories about the Tianwu Continent.

Zi Chen smiled. "That world doesn't have any domains. What's there to talk about?"

"Tell us about your past. We're all very curious." Shangguan Hong asked again.

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

"Yes."

Zi Chen looked up at the sky, seemingly lost in his memories. A moment later, he said, "In truth, I lived in the Tianwu Continent for over a thousand years."

"What?! A thousand years?!" Everyone was startled.

They all had some understanding of Zi Chen. Zi Chen's breakthroughs were already very fast, but he had lived in the Tianwu Continent for over a thousand years. If they didn't know that Zi Chen was human, they would definitely suspect that Zi Chen was some kind of strange lifeform.

"From the Mortal Realm to the Earth Realm, just breaking through that bottleneck took me over a thousand years."

"Isn't it comprehending laws? Why does it take so long?" Man Shi scratched his head.

The others also didn't understand. Only a few people were lost in thought.

"In over a thousand years, how many laws have you comprehended?" asked Old Man Schenker.

Zi Chen gulped down a bowl of wine and shook his head. "I can't count. If I count all of them, there should be dozens of them."

Everyone was speechless. They all looked at Zi Chen like he was a monster.

"Tell me, what kind of friends did you make in the Tianwu Continent? Did you have any life-and-death friends?" asked Shangguan Hong. This was the thing she was most concerned about.

As if recalling a memory from the bottom of Zi Chen's heart, Zi Chen suddenly felt a little tipsy, and his head was a little dizzy. He said, "Of course there are life-and-death brothers. Oh right, one of them is my brother."

Everyone was a bit dumbfounded. A Chosen Beast was an existence that was even stronger than a higher lifeform. If they weren't mistaken, then a Chosen represented a Chosen. That was an existence that far surpassed a World Master.

"There was also a flying divine tiger that I suspected to be a Chosen Beast. A barbarian dragon, or perhaps a cyan barbarian dragon. He was from the dragon race, and a very pure kind. He should count as a Chosen Beast. Ah, there was also a devil ape. He was a Heaven Splitting Battle Ape. No matter how weak he was, he could count as a higher lifeform. There was also an assassin, a formation brother, and … oh, right, there was also that hateful bald monk."

Zi Chen was completely immersed in his memories. His eyes shone brightly as he spoke of their names and their deeds.

Everyone was stupefied. They sighed inwardly. These people were all extraordinary existences.

"Baldy He Shan was called Good and Evil. However, I only saw his evil side and never saw his good side. This guy didn't have the slightest bit of compassion for the state of the universe. Instead, he was greedy by nature. He was proficient in swindling and cheating. However, his battle prowess was very strong. When I first met him, I couldn't beat him. Later on, as my realm increased, when we were on the same level, I could barely suppress him."

Everyone's expression changed. They were all existences that had fought side by side with Zi Chen. Zi Chen's battle prowess was definitely unrivalled within the same level.

If those friends of his were really as strong as Zi Chen said, then wouldn't it mean that they were equivalent to the titled existences of the Shuntian Dao?

Zi Chen spoke very energetically. Everyone listened attentively. However, Shangguan Hong was somewhat absent-minded. She didn't want to listen to this. She wanted to listen to something else.

Therefore, while Zi Chen was still reminiscing, she appropriately said, "Also, I don't have many good female … friends."

Everyone looked at Shangguan Hong strangely. However, Zi Chen didn't notice anything unusual. He whispered, "Su Mengyao has done me a great favor. Calculating the time, she should also be in the Zhan Wu Continent."

After that, Zi Chen looked at the Fortune Teller and said, "She is the same as you. She is proficient in the Dao of Divination. However, it is not the Dao of Divination. It is the Dao of Inaction."

"Ethereal Region, Dao of Inaction."

The Fortune Teller looked at Zi Chen in amazement. That was very famous. He didn't expect that Zi Chen's confidante had comprehended this Dao.

Shangguan Hong got the answer she wanted to know. Now, she finally understood why Zi Chen's heart was closed. It turned out that Zi Chen's heart was already occupied by someone else.

"Are there any experts in the Tianwu Continent?" Without Shangguan Hong interrupting, Man Shi asked.

Zi Chen nodded. "Usually, the Earth Primes are the strongest. However, if something big happens, experts will appear."

"What big thing?"

"For example, when the Lightning Divine Temple appeared, many False Heavens appeared. However, several of them died. Oh right, I also saw a heaven-defying artifact that killed several False Heavens in one move."

When this sentence was said, everyone was at a loss. They didn't understand at all.

On the other hand, Old Man Shink's expression changed again and again. His eyes were filled with unconcealable shock.

The Tianwu Continent truly lived up to its reputation.

"What is a False Heaven?" Man Shi asked again.

Zi Chen shook his head. "I'm not sure. It is a realm second only to the Heaven Realm. As for its combat power, it is hard to estimate. However, it can probably kill hundreds of World Lords with one slap."
