Top-class Bodyguard

The sound of the howling seemed as if it would engulf them, especially since their entire field of vision was filled with this storm!

Yet within the storm, the Primordial Emperor remained calm and composed. His left hand rested behind his back, and with a gentle clench of his right hand, this terrifying storm vanished instantly!

Without a trace of smoke or fire, it disappeared directly from the world, and in mid-air, a perfectly round elixir appeared, still spinning.

"This elixir can help you perceive and break through to the second step."

The disciple was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master."

The Primordial Emperor smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping across the entire scene, then his figure began to fade and turn transparent.

The rest of the disciples in the square were the same; they began to disappear.

Ren Feng watched the Primordial Emperor intently, but saw that as he seemed to disappear, he glanced at him!

The meaning within that gaze was indescribable, but it sent shivers down Ren Feng's spine.

Everything in the square vanished, the other experts seemed still shaken, while Ren Feng and the others calmed down.

"Was that Primordial Emperor really alive?"

Sima Nan asked with a frown.

"It's very likely. Everything here in the relic was under his control," Ren Feng replied.

"Then what does he want to do?"

"We don't know yet, but we'll find out soon." Ren Feng took out the map, "This is the map I got on the third floor. Look, we're currently in this square, and we're very close to that city. Once we pass through here, we'll reach the city and find out if the Primordial Emperor is dead or alive."

"And we might also learn something about the Ancient Era," Elder Mu Han said, "Just like the Jurassic extinction, these cultivators from the Ancient Era disappeared almost entirely in a short time. I'm curious what happened to them. Did they all die?"

"Perhaps we can find the answer in that city. Alright, let's rest a bit and gather our strength, then we set out."

The others nodded and resumed sitting cross-legged.

The other experts also reacted, recalling similar experiences in the courtyard.

The square quieted down, with no more experts appearing there. Only this small number of people remained alive now.

On their first day here, not many faced fatalities since the experience of the Saint Realm and the Life and Death Realm was sufficient to handle those scenarios.

But after being separated by that mysterious energy, the bizarre beasts were beyond their understanding, leading to many casualties.

Hours later, everyone's physical and mental conditions were at their best.

"Let's go," Sima Nan said, "Let's check out the last place and find out if the Primordial Emperor is dead or alive."

The group stood up, and seeing others rise, the remaining experts also got up.

The group headed directly to the other side of the square, followed closely by all the experts. However, ahead of Ren Feng and others, some experts had already moved forward.

The path after the square was downhill. Everyone heightened their alert, ready for any beasts, but like the way up, there were no beasts.

After walking for more than half an hour, upon descending, the terrain flattened, and after another hour, a military camp suddenly appeared ahead!

Everyone halted their steps, approaching to find the camp empty. However, in the middle of the tents stood a towering stone tablet!

"What's this?" Long Su asked in confusion.

An expert's gaze sharpened as his Qi Force circulated, reaching out to touch the stone tablet. In the next instant, his pupils shrank, and he staggered backward!

"Such strong Evil Qi!"

The expert was somewhat apprehensive, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, "And there's a very dignified aura, quite strange."

Others also stared at the stone tablet, while Ren Feng quickly surveyed the surroundings.

The military camp was ordinary, with nothing but the peculiar stone tablet. Yet behind it, the view was expansive.

The terrain they stood on was at least dozens of meters high, and below was a plain covered in yellow sand!

"Look, the city lies just beyond this stretch of yellow sand!"

An expert shouted, his gaze fixed on the distance. The city seen earlier was faintly visible amid the sand, unclear but with a distinct outline.

"Yes, once we descend from here and cross the plain, we'll reach the city."

Another person spoke.

The experts were immediately tempted; undoubtedly, this city was the most crucial part of the entire relic. Its contents were certainly more than in the courtyard and much better!

However, nobody rushed down recklessly. If this were the first day, some would have dashed down immediately, but having faced so many dangers, they became increasingly cautious.

Modo looked at the howling yellow sand and suddenly said, "There's something wrong with this plain."

"What's wrong?"

"Look, aren't there bones in that spot? And a suit of armor not far from it? Also, though the wind is calm here, why is the plain so full of yellow sand despite being so close? It's not even a battlefield."

Everyone was startled, gazing at the plain ahead. Indeed, the overwhelming yellow sand was almost like a sandstorm!

Elder Mu Han, who had been silently observing, looked at the plain below, then turned his gaze back to the stone tablet. Suddenly, a flash crossed his mind like lightning.

"I know what this is."

Elder Mu Han's eyes glowed with excitement, "This should be the Commanding Stone!"

"The Commanding Stone? What's that?"

"In ancient times, military camps had General Selection Platforms, and the Commanding Stone served a similar purpose, likely selecting the most outstanding experts. The yellow sand ahead probably marks the battlefield."

Surrounding experts looked at Mu Han as one spoke, "An ancient battlefield?"

"No, I believe it's more inclined to be a battlefield among those Ancient Era strongmen."

Mu Han turned with a solemn expression.

A battlefield of Ancient Era strongmen?

Everyone inhaled sharply, gazing at the overwhelming yellow sand, their eyes filled with gravity.
