Chapter 694: Terrifying Royal Territory
The old man Long Shan met Long Chen again to tell him everything he knew about the Ancient Graveyard. He learned that in a month’s time, the Ancient Token would directly take him to the Ancient Graveyard, where he would meet masters from the other Nine Great Empires, as well as countless tiny kingdoms. There would be at least ten thousand people there who would be at least at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage, making them comparable to Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji!
There were countless hidden masters in the other empires too, so there would surely be many people stronger than Long Chen.
“No one from the Divine Martial Empire has managed to return from the Ancient Graveyard alive in the past few centuries. That’s why I don’t know much about the place. However, I must remind you that killing is unavoidable. I heard that you need to kill a certain number of opponents and merge their Ancient Tokens with yours to get the right to exit the Ancient Graveyard. If not, you’ll die in there.”
“What?” Long Chen gasped. In that case, there would surely be an intense massacre in the Ancient Graveyard. Those people would not kill just one, but a certain number of opponents.
“How many people specifically?” asked Long Chen with furrowed brows.
“I don’t know, but I heard that it’s very difficult and terrifying. Once you enter the Ancient Graveyard, you will be immersed in the massacre. Ten thousand people enter, but less than a thousand exit every time. There was a particularly terrifying time when only a hundred-plus people returned. Of course …” Long Shan paused, then he attempted to comfort Long Chen. “Every person emerges from the Ancient Graveyard with a great boost in strength and wealth. There are treasures left behind by countless masters of the Middle Ages there, and many of those masters were at the Heavenly Martial Realm. If you return to the Ten Thousand Nations Territory with a Heavenly Martial Realm master’s inheritance, you’ll basically be the king!”
Long Chen recalled how the Ancient Token could not be stored in a Universe Pouch. It was so that it was more convenient for people to fight over it in battle and merge it with theirs. However, this further proved that someone was controlling all of this behind the scenes. He wondered who.
In order to win the game, he would have to play it. He would only understand everything when he entered the Ancient Graveyard.
“Only people who can survive the massacre will become true masters. I am old. I previously wanted to go to the Ancient Graveyard so I could see that legendary place before I die. But you’re different—you’re born with the combat factor and are suited for a place like the Ancient Graveyard. Be very careful when you’re in there and keep a low profile. Don’t offend the influential figures of the Nine Great Clans. That way, you’ll survive the frontmost period where your cultivation level is still low. Once you survive that, you can do whatever you want,” warned Long Shan as he knew that Long Chen had great potential.
