Chapter 263: A Murmur

This ancient battlefield is extremely tragic.

Everywhere are scattered weapons and spears, as well as corpses.

Yes, they are corpses, not skeletons.

Although judging by the traces, at least a thousand years have passed, and they have weathered many vicissitudes, the weapons scattered or stuck in the ground are severely weathered and covered in rust.

However, those corpses are lifelike! It is as if they have not died, but are merely sleeping, and could wake up at any moment.

Li Heng finds it interesting and strides into this ancient battlefield with a swagger, not caring whether his loud movements might cause these corpses to awaken; he is not the protagonist of a horror movie.

The Red-Haired Monster is suddenly stunned to see Li Heng appear again.

How did this thing appear again?

"Go wherever you want to go, I will not stop you."

Li Heng speaks out.

The Red-Haired Monster is frozen in place, as if it does not understand.

Li Heng's expression is calm, and he does not continue to speak.

Since it is a Heavenly Human Corpse that has gained sentience, there must be something strange about it. He does not believe that with the Red-Haired Monster's means, it would not understand the general meaning of his words.

Sure enough, after a long while, the Red-Haired Monster's body moves.

It seems to have finally understood Li Heng's words, turning around to continue walking deeper, heading into the depths of this ancient battlefield.

Li Heng follows behind at a leisurely pace.

He observes this ancient battlefield and finds it somewhat strange.

Because this place contains no Yin energy, baleful energy, or fierce energy; it is as if it were a simple stage set, not a real battlefield, and it seems as if no one ever died here at all.

But looking at the surrounding corpses and weapons.

It is impossible that a war did not occur here.

Could this place be capable of absorbing Yin energy, baleful energy, and fierce energy? Li Heng mutters to himself. He casually pulls out a long spear stuck in the ground that is weathered beyond repair and pokes a corpse on the ground.

The skin sinks in, then bounces back.

These corpses still have elasticity?

Well, they are like living people, with blood still flowing in their bodies.

With their bodies preserved so well, could this place be an excellent Corpse Raising Ground? But don't Corpse Raising Grounds all contain extremely dense Yin energy and baleful energy?

Doubt fills his heart.

But Li Heng is not in a hurry; he has a premonition that as long as he continues walking, he will certainly be able to know part of the truth. Perhaps the Red-Haired Monster in front is the clue.

Not long after, the Red-Haired Monster stops.

Li Heng stands near the Red-Haired Monster and looks around. He discovers that the surroundings are similar to the ancient battlefield he saw before, except that the corpses have become fewer, and a faint, intangible pressure permeates the Void.

This appears to be a higher-level battlefield.

He frowns and turns his attention to the surrounding corpses, releasing his Divine Sense to investigate the strangeness of these corpses. However, he discovers that as soon as his Divine Sense tries to intrude into these corpses, it is repelled.

It is repelled by the pressure emitted by these corpses.

Li Heng remains calm.

This phenomenon also confirms his conjecture.

These corpses have been dead for so long, yet they can still emit pressure to repel his Divine Sense, which means they were also powerhouses in their lifetimes, only now they are all like common soldiers.

All of them died here.

Based on the strength of the Divine Sense he just released.

Li Heng estimates that these corpses capable of repelling his Divine Sense are at least in the Dharma Aspect Realm, and they are definitely not ordinary Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators. There might even be Heavenly Human powerhouses among these corpses!

Interesting.

What kind of great battle happened back then?

To be able to make so many powerhouses die here?

Li Heng smiles slightly, becoming more and more curious.

At this moment, he discovers that the Red-Haired Monster walks in front of a somewhat special corpse, stares blankly for a long time, and then suddenly kneels down, emitting a whimper similar to crying.

Li Heng walks closer to look.

This corpse is actually a woman of peerless beauty and magnificent grace, only slightly inferior to his little maid Kong Que. This corpse is not lying down like the other corpses, but is standing with a sword, standing in place, looking into the distance, as if not dead.

But the vitality within her body has already dissipated.

Li Heng cannot help but sigh with emotion.

This place preserves corpses too perfectly, right?

Could it be that it is waiting for them to return in the future?

It is fortunate that it is he, Li, who came to this place; if it were some guys with strange hobbies, they would probably take the opportunity to have a go.

"What, is she your Dao companion from when you were alive?"

Li Heng asks aloud.

The Red-Haired Monster does not seem to hear him, still kneeling and whimpering, as if calling for a soul, tears flowing from its eyes, its body trembling uncontrollably, a bit like an epileptic seizure.

Just as Li Heng intends to do something.

Suddenly, the entire ancient battlefield shakes.

He looks up at the mist in front that has not been illuminated by the light of the Great Sun Dharma Image and frowns.

Such a fierce and baleful aura, could it be another monster?

And this monster should be very big, right?

As soon as this thought arises, the mist, which had been eternal and silent, is suddenly stirred up, and a huge palm, like a small mountain, reaches out from the mist.

Following closely behind.

A behemoth appeared before Li Heng.

This monster was entirely green, the size of a mountain, bloated in form, and composed of piled-up flesh and blood; it was truly a mountain of meat in every sense of the word.

Upon seeing Li Heng and the Red-Haired Monster, the monster was taken aback.

"Interesting, interesting. I thought it was you, you damned fellow, who had suppressed the Pollution within your body and returned to mourn this group of damned fellows. I didn't expect you to bring an outsider along."

The meat-mountain monster said this and laughed heartily.

"Eh, no, you are not him!"

Suddenly, the monster looked at the Red-Haired Monster, furrowed its brows, and revealed a look of confusion, though it soon came to a sudden realization.

"So that's how it is. So you died long ago. You couldn't hold on, and now you are nothing more than a corpse that has gained sentience! Hahaha, you died, serves you right! You damned fellow, if it weren't for you damned lot, how could I have ended up in such a state!"

Realizing this point.

The meat-mountain monster looked up and laughed wildly, its bloated body trembling violently, much like the belly of a five-hundred-pound fat man, laughing in a crazed manner.

At this moment, the Red-Haired Monster had already arrived before this meat-mountain monster and let out a threatening roar. This big thing is so annoying! The dim-witted intelligence within its body thought so.

After the meat-mountain monster finished its wild laughter, it lowered its head and saw the Red-Haired Monster hissing and making threatening gestures at it, and it couldn't help but shake its head and laugh dumbly. "I didn't fear you even a bit when you were alive, let alone now that you are dead? You want to threaten me now?"

"Does that mean you want to protect this fellow?"

He stretched out a fat finger and pointed at Li Heng.

"Look, this is actually an outsider, a living person, a normal person, not a monster like the two of us. Hahaha, how rare, it has been so many years."

The meat-mountain monster laughed crazily again.

"Kid, your expression looks very confused."

"Do you want to know what happened here, want to know who I am, and who this damned fellow is? Come, come, come, I have always been understanding; I will tell you!"

He stared at Li Heng and laughed gloomily.

Immediately, an invisible ripple emerged and rippled outward, instantly affecting the surrounding area; the environment began to distort like ripples on a water surface. Li Heng did not resist, and in the blink of an eye, the Heaven and Earth had already changed.

The sounds of slaughter and the clashing of weapons entered his ears.

This is...

Li Heng furrowed his brows and looked around, discovering that he was actually placed in the middle of a Zhanchang.

He felt that this Zhanchang had dense Yin energy and oppressive baleful energy; if a mortal were to stay here for a second, they would die instantly, and even a Foundation Establishment expert could not last for more than a short while.

In such a harsh environment, only those in the Dharma Aspect Realm could survive, and the crowd fighting on this Zhanchang were all, shockingly, in the Dharma Aspect Realm. Li Heng looked into the distance and could only see that the auras of some people in the distance were faintly even above the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Is this... a reenactment of a historical scene?

Li Heng furrowed his brows.

He saw an expert beside him fighting others and manifesting a vast Dharma Aspect. He recognized this expert; he had seen this expert's lifelike corpse in the Gu Zhanchang earlier.

Upon learning this current situation, he was not alarmed and strolled through the Zhanchang. Even if the aftermath of the fighting was about to affect him, he remained calm, letting these ripples of conflict come and pass through his body.

He walked slowly toward the depths of the Zhanchang.

Soon, he arrived at the Zhanchang of the high-level experts.

This Zhanchang seemed to be divided into only two camps.

On one side, one person, with Magic Qi surging to the heavens.

And on the other side, more than a dozen people, with righteous energy awe-inspiring.

But regardless of who they were, their auras were all above the Dharma Aspect Realm.

It was clearly Heavenly Human experts.

Seeing this, Li Heng couldn't help but raise his thumb in approval.

That's more like it.

Evil Demon and Outer Path, everyone should join forces to kill them; who would fight you one-on-one?

The leaders of the Righteous Dao side were a man and a woman, each holding a sword.

"Demon Venerable, you have nowhere to run!"

The man held a divine sword and pointed it at the person opposite with surging Magic Qi.

"Hmph, ridiculous. If it weren't for you damned lot attacking when I had failed to establish Reincarnation and my power was greatly depleted, none of you together would be a match for me!"

The Demon Venerable said proudly.

"Husband, there is no need to waste words with him. Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit; let's kill him first." The woman said coldly.

"That's right, Jian Xianzi is correct."

"Such Evil Demon and Outer Path, everyone should join forces to kill them; he even dreams of establishing Reincarnation and controlling all living beings?"

"How can Reincarnation be established by a mortal? It is a blasphemy against Heavenly might!"

The crowd behind the two also spoke up, expressing their indignation.

Seeing this scene, Li Heng's expression was somewhat strange.

The Six Great Sects besieging Bright Peak, is it?

Then where is Zhang Wuji? It wouldn't be him, would it?

"Utterly ridiculous. Do you really think you have me cornered? Do you really think I would try to establish Reincarnation without any preparation? Now, let me show you my power!"

The Demon Venerable laughed heartily.

"Reincarnation Disk, appear!"

A bronze-material hexagonal disk suddenly appeared before him, emitting a vast, ancient, and mysterious aura that possessed a sense of being able to rotate the Life and Death of all heavens.

However, Li Heng could clearly see.

Only one corner of this Reincarnation Disk was True Reality, while the other five corners were simulated using Heaven and Earth Principles. It seems this so-called Reincarnation Disk is incomplete?

Is the next act for both sides to perish together?

Li Heng guessed in his heart.

Then, the next moment, a warning sign arose in him, and he secretly thought, "Not good."

He did not think much further.

He immediately erupted with his strongest power, manifesting the Great Sun Dharma Image and the Earth Dharma Image, while the Taiyuan Scripture within his body circulated frantically, his Qi and Blood surging; yet even so, the feeling of impending Life and Death in his heart still did not vanish.

He made a prompt decision.

Li Heng directly burned Source Power to protect himself!

Under the protection of the Source Power, the sense of crisis in his heart finally disappeared.

At this moment, a murmur rang out.

This murmur carried no meaning; it was purely Chaos, madness, Weird, and indescribable.

An inconceivable scene appeared before his eyes.

Under this murmur.

The Demon Lord, who had originally possessed Infinite ferocity and had brought out the Reincarnation Disk, froze directly in place; the Reincarnation Disk flickered with light, enveloping this Demon Lord, seemingly trying to restore him to normal.

But very quickly, the light of the Reincarnation Disk also extinguished.

It fell onto the ground.

And on the side of the Righteous Dao.

One saw the leading man roar a Heavenly Dao Divine Curse, blooming with Infinite light centered on himself, radiating a sense of upright brightness to protect everyone of the Righteous Dao, then telling everyone to run outward and leave this place.

However.

Although they were protected by the light of the Heavenly Dao Divine Curse.

Except for him, everyone else froze in place and no longer had any breath of life; only he himself seemed unaware, running rapidly outward, and in the process of his sprint, red hair began to appear on his body, gradually covering him entirely...

And on the side of the Demon Lord, a distortion also began; the body started to grow continuously, slowly forming a mountain of flesh...

The murmur lightly brushed past this time and place, gradually moving away and vanishing; following the departure of the murmur, with a "Crack!", the surrounding space-time shattered like a mirror.

Li Heng stepped out and returned to the present, returning once again to this Gu Zhanchang filled with fog.

Seeing Li Heng appear again, and unscathed at that, the flesh-mountain monster could not help but be somewhat stunned, its expression extremely bewildered.

"How is this possible? Why were you not affected by the Pollution! Did you not hear that damned murmur!" it asked in bewilderment.

Immediately, its expression became somewhat manic.
