Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-One: Twenty-Four Directions Battle Platform
"Come out..."
As his eyes slowly opened, Sun Zhe let out a gentle sigh, a hint of helplessness flashing across his expression as he calmly spoke to the void. At the same time, he gradually stood up from the ground.
"Subordinate Han Yun pays respects to Sword Sovereign!" From the void, a gray ripple spread out, and then a figure in black appeared, bowing respectfully to Sun Zhe. The aura emanating from him clearly indicated that he was a late-stage Holy Rank expert.
"Did Domain Lord send you to inform me?" Sun Zhe did not look at the figure in black but instead gazed toward the southernmost part of the continent. He could sense that the space in the Southern Region seemed to be somewhat unstable, and he could vaguely see countless powerful figures flashing in that area, along with a faint trace of Demonic Energy amidst the surging aura.
"Yes, Domain Lord ordered me to inform Sword Sovereign that the Twenty-Four Directions Battle Platform has been fully activated. The forces of the Demon Clan will likely arrive soon, so I hope Sword Sovereign can prepare accordingly. As for Sister Tang, if Sword Sovereign is concerned, I can take her to Blade Domain..."
At this point, the figure in black couldn't help but glance at Tang Yuexi beside Sun Zhe. He was conveying the Old Domain Master's words, and it was clear that the Old Domain Master intended for Tang Yuexi to be taken to Blade Domain; otherwise, as merely a messenger, he would not dare to act on his own.
"You go back and report to Domain Lord. I will head to Border Battlefield immediately!" Sun Zhe said lightly, with his hands clasped behind his back.
"But..." Upon hearing Sun Zhe's words, a hint of hesitation flashed across the face of the figure in black. The Old Domain Master had instructed him to bring Tang Yuexi back as well, but it was evident that Sun Zhe did not have this intention.
"Did you not hear what I said?" Sun Zhe suddenly turned around, his tone growing cold. A terrifying pressure surged toward the figure in black, causing him to stagger back seven steps until he reached the edge of the cliff. Only then did Sun Zhe withdraw his oppressive aura.
"I understand my mistake. I will immediately return to convey Sword Sovereign's intentions to Domain Lord!"
Glancing down at the howling winds of the cliff below, cold sweat trickled down the back of the figure in black. The terrifying pressure earlier had made him feel as if he were facing a Supreme Combat Body. He suddenly remembered that this Sword Sovereign was not someone to be trifled with; if he continued to hesitate, he might truly be cut down.
Having said that, he dared not linger any longer. With a flash of his figure, he directly vanished into the void using teleportation techniques, seemingly afraid that taking even a moment longer would provoke Sun Zhe's displeasure.
"You see how scared you made him..."
A light and graceful voice sounded from behind Sun Zhe; it was Tang Yuexi, who had somehow awakened and was now standing behind him with a playful smile as she watched where the figure in black had disappeared.
However, there was no smile on Sun Zhe's face. He turned around and looked at Tang Yuexi, who was dressed in a white gown like a fairy, and his expression became serious as he said earnestly,
"I am representing the War Clan this time, and I must go to the Border Battlefield!"
Since he had promised the War Clan, Sun Zhe would definitely follow through. Moreover, this was a war that concerned the entire human race. As a member of humanity, he had an undeniable obligation. If he hesitated in such a battle, then he would no longer be the Sun Zhe he knew.
"I'm not forbidding you from going, but you can't leave me behind!" To Sun Zhe's surprise, Tang Yuexi showed no signs of anger or resentment; instead, she spoke to him as if it were only natural.
"Are you also going to the Border Battlefield?" Sun Zhe was taken aback and immediately understood the implication of Tang Yuexi's words.
"What? Is that not allowed? Hmph! Don't underestimate me; I'm also a powerful Holy Rank expert. You are a Holy Rank too, and you might not even be able to defeat me!" Seeing the astonishment on Sun Zhe's face, Tang Yuexi snorted lightly, raised her head, and spoke to him with an air of arrogance.
Seeing Tang Yuexi's demeanor made Sun Zhe smile. Her physical condition was indeed somewhat unusual; her cultivation had been stagnant for a long time, but in recent years, her progress had skyrocketed as if she were on a rocket. The speed of her improvement was even faster than Sun Zhe's. After spending more than half a year together, her cultivation had directly broken through from Emperor Level to Holy Rank. As for her specific combat power, Sun Zhe dared not think too much about it.
However, despite his amusement, upon hearing Tang Yuexi's suggestion, Sun Zhe couldn't help but feel tempted. Taking Tang Yuexi to the Border Battlefield wasn't out of the question; he could simply use all of the Sword Corpse Guard to protect her while he himself would be fine.
"What? Is that not possible?" Seeing that Sun Zhe remained silent for a long time, Tang Yuexi began to doubt.
"Of course it's possible. Since you asked, how could I refuse?" Sun Zhe smiled slightly and picked up Tang Yuexi. With a scream from her, he used the Space Rift technique to tear open a rift in space, and they instantly disappeared from their original location.
When Sun Zhe and Tang Yuexi reappeared, they were already standing at the southernmost part of the continent, within the territory of the Great Han Empire among the Nine Great Empires. At that moment, there were no ordinary people left in the Great Han Empire; all of them had moved to other empires. The remaining shadows were all formidable Cultivators, numbering at least several million.
On the southern land stood dozens of enormous cities. It was unclear when these cities were built, but each one was nearly as large as Xianyang City. Moreover, each city's perimeter radiated strong fluctuations of formation energy, clearly indicating they were protected by impressive formations. Ordinary attacks would not shake them at all; even with all his strength, Sun Zhe had no confidence in being able to destroy any of those formations.
These dozens of giant cities were not just for show; each city housed hundreds of thousands of elite troops composed not of ordinary soldiers but of powerful Cultivators. Each faction from various worlds and the Nine Great Empires occupied one city while others belonged to those Superpowers.
However, these giant cities were not the most astonishing sight; what was truly remarkable was the Twenty-Four Directions Battle Platform suspended in half-Void space. That was where the pinnacle combat power of the Nine Continents World resided.
The Twenty-Four Directions Battle Platform consists of twenty-four floating continents, each battle platform measuring at least a hundred feet in size, with the largest reaching a staggering thousand feet. These twenty-four massive battle platforms are suspended in the air, and the sheer overwhelming presence they exude can shock countless powerful beings.
However, the Twenty-Four Directions Battle Platform is not arranged randomly; it is divided into three levels from top to bottom. The lowest level contains nine battle platforms, each one a hundred feet wide, where the peak powerhouses of each empire are stationed.
For instance, Bai Qi from the Qin State sits coldly on the northernmost battle platform, while Wang Jian, dressed in a Purple Robe, sits cross-legged beside him. In addition to them, there are over a hundred formidable figures on this platform, their presence equally imposing. At the edge of their battle platform stands a gigantic character for "Qin," signifying that this is the battle platform belonging to the Qin State.
The leader of the Qin State's powerful figures is a Supreme Combat Body adorned with a crown and wearing a dragon robe. Upon seeing this person, Sun Zhe cannot help but tremble slightly because this individual is none other than Qin Shi Huang, the founding emperor of the Qin State—a figure of extraordinary means and an unparalleled hero whom even Sun Zhe admires greatly.
Apart from the Qin State, the other eight battle platforms at this level are also filled with powerful beings. Each platform gathers numerous renowned peak powerhouses, such as Tian Dan from Qi Kingdom, Le Yi from Yan Kingdom, Zhao She and Li Mu from Zhao Kingdom, and Lu Bu and Dian Wei from Han Kingdom. Each empire's leader has already reached the Divine Realm, showcasing for the first time the true strength of the Nine Great Empires before everyone.
Above these nine battle platforms are eight larger platforms, each measuring three hundred feet across. Their presence is significantly more powerful than that of the nine lower platforms. The first platform is adorned with a large flag bearing the word "Flame," engulfed in fierce flames. Countless cultivators dressed in crimson robes sit within; they are powerful beings from the Flame Continent.
The second platform displays a flag marked with "Thunder," surrounded by terrifying purple arcs of electricity that envelop it in a thunderous inferno. Sitting prominently on this platform are numerous strong figures led by the Withered Old Man from Thunder Continent, including Yuan Mansion Master and Earth Spirit Palace Master.
The remaining six platforms bear flags representing "Winged Wind," "Thick Earth," "Water Cloud," "Light," "Darkness," and "Green Forest." Clearly, these eight platforms represent the pinnacle powers of their respective worlds. Each Supreme Combat Body on these platforms exceeds ten individuals, while Saint-Level Experts number over a thousand, collectively exuding an astonishing aura.
Above them are seven additional platforms, each reaching a height of one thousand feet and swirling like colossal entities in the Void. Compared to the battle platforms of the Nine Great Empires below or those of the eight world powers in between, these seven platforms are evidently far superior because they represent the seven most powerful super forces in the Nine Continents World—the fundamental strength of the entire Nine Continents World!
The first platform has no flags flying; instead, a gigantic character for "Blade" hovers above it. The character is so large it resembles an ancient giant sitting cross-legged. On this platform stand numerous blade-wielding warriors in the Void; each blade is an eternal Divine Blade capable of shattering space when combined—representing the immensely powerful Blade Domain!
The second platform emits a faint yellow glow with an enigmatic character for "Dao" hovering above it. Sitting cross-legged on this platform are individuals clad in Daoist robes, radiating a profound aura that seems to emanate from beneath the earth itself. They seem to embody celestial authority, evoking an instinctive sense of reverence—this represents Ancient Superpower: Daoism!
The third platform is shrouded in darkness unlike that found in Dark Continent; this darkness is elusive and seems to swallow everything within it. Above this platform hovers a black character for "Witch," emitting a faint glow that flickers enticingly—representing the eerily mysterious Witch Clan!
The fourth platform features an incredibly noble character for "Dragon" hovering above it. Below are handsome men and women clad in golden dragon robes, each exuding an unparalleled regal aura that surpasses all royal offspring because they are extraordinary powerhouses from the Dragon Clan who could transform into colossal dragons over a thousand feet long.
The fifth platform bears similarities to the fourth; it also radiates an air of supreme nobility associated with royalty but features more women among its ranks. However, there isn't a single weak individual present. A silver character for "Bird" glimmers continuously; while one might typically regard such a character with disdain, here it commands respect because it represents the immensely powerful Bird Tribe!
Sixth Battle Platform, a gigantic character "Beast" stands tall in the air, exuding a strong primitive aura. The powerful beings on it, though varying in size, all emanate an astonishing and fierce presence, coming from the Beast Clan. Each individual within has transformed into a humanoid form of an Ancient ferocious beast!
However, the Seventh Battle Platform is completely empty, with not a single person on the thousand-zhang large battle stage.
"Let's go!"
Seeing this scene, Sun Zhe no longer hesitated. With a calm remark, he took Tang Yuexi's right hand and instantly teleported forward, directly crossing over the Seventeenth Battle Platform and stepping into the highest Seventh Battle Platform.
Witnessing this, countless eyes turned towards the highest Seventh Battle Platform. Even many powerful beings from the other twenty-three battle platforms looked towards Sun Zhe, who appeared on the Seventh Battle Platform. This platform was reserved for the War Clan and to prove the significant contributions made by the War Clan to the Nine Continents. However, they all knew that members of the War Clan could not appear here because they had more important tasks.
Yet, Sun Zhe paid no attention to the gazes of others. The Supreme Battle Technique operated at full force, and an incredibly dense primitive aura immediately emanated from him. In the Void, a massive War Ancestor's Phantom also materialized. With a wave of his right hand, that War Ancestor's Phantom mirrored his movement. The two hands overlapped, and with a thunderous roar, a gigantic character "War" flashed into existence.
As soon as the character "War" appeared, the entire battle platform rumbled to life, and a frenzied battle intent surged into the sky, overwhelming with domineering power!
