Chapter 587: Time's up!

【Welcome to Myriad Heavens Battlefield!】

A system prompt sounded, Xiao Feng's vision shifted, and he arrived at a huge teleportation array.

This teleportation array spans dozens of kilometers, even more extravagant than a city.

The entire teleportation array was enveloped by a shimmering hemispheric protective shield, keeping it safe inside.

Stepping out means you're in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

【Ding~ Friendly reminder: The Myriad Heavens Battlefield syncs with real-world time, no longer enjoying the 10x time-flow cultivation boost. In this plane, you will gain more opportunities, more treasures, and a higher level cap! For more details, please consult the Myriad Heavens Newcomer's Handbook!】

Another prompt sounded.

Xiao Feng froze for a moment.

Syncing with real-world time?

No 10x speed?

"Damn it..."

I never heard it would be like this! The Shen Chuo and Cong Cong I met before in the Myriad Heavens Tower never mentioned this, and he subconsciously assumed all environments in the game world were the same.

If there's no 10x speed, why come here? Wouldn't it be better to cultivate at 10x speed in the Divine Realm?

"A higher level cap… does that mean leveling in the Divine Realm will get stuck?"

After reviewing the announcement again, Xiao Feng frowned in thought.

An item appeared in his backpack—the Myriad Heavens Newcomer's Handbook mentioned in the system prompt.

He quickly took it out to browse.

The booklet isn't thick, only a dozen pages or so.

Opening the first page, the first sentence that met his eyes was: 【The Myriad Heavens Battlefield is the true battleground of the Myriad Heavens game. All other planes are mere civilizations' nurseries; although they enjoy various benefits and speed buffs, they cannot make you a true powerhouse.】

There followed a lengthy introduction.

Roughly speaking, the basic planes and the Divine Realm planes are "greenhouses" created by the Creator God to quickly nurture player seedlings.

In those "greenhouses," players can at most rise to the peak of 500th-level Upper God, unable to break into the Supreme God Realm.

To break past level 500 and grow to higher tiers, one must come to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

Staying in the Divine Realm to grind levels gives a huge early-level advantage, but it's detrimental to combat ability growth.

Meanwhile, the Myriad Heavens Battlefield is fraught with danger at every step, requiring constant combat; it greatly aids skill comprehension and law insight, forging true experts.

Moreover, this place abounds in various treasures that can boost raw strength, with an effect not much inferior to bitter level-grinding.

Xiao Feng flipped further; the handbook also introduced some common questions about the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

This world lacks transportation teleportation arrays; to go

anywhere, you must rely on your own legs or a mount; or, once your civilization level is high enough, you can build an artificial teleportation array yourself.

The teleportation array beneath your feet is the entrance/exit of the Elemental Divine Realm, allowing only travel to and from that realm—no other destinations. It is protected by supreme law; normally only natives of that divine realm can enter.

If you die out there and your clan has no artificial teleportation array, you will also respawn here.

The Myriad Heavens Battlefield has no return-city scrolls for sale.

If you run far out, to return you must either painstakingly run back, or commit suicide on the spot, losing some cultivation to save travel time.

Even the map function is incomplete.

This world only displays areas you've explored; the rest are shrouded in black mist.

However, you can share maps!

If you come from the same civilization, you can mutually share the map areas you've explored; with enough people, you can also illuminate a large region.

Now Xiao Feng's map is still pitch black, with only the base camp—the "origin"—emitting a faint glow.

The handbook advises that newcomers should not stray more than fifty kilometers from the base camp, otherwise it's very dangerous.

But this advice is merely for ordinary demigod players; Xiao Feng's strength is overwhelming, so he doesn't fear it.

Xiao Feng opened his friend list to check.

His three cross-server friends were all offline; he had wanted to chat and ask about fun gameplay, but there was no one to ask.

"Staying here one minute equals ten minutes in the Divine Realm—I need to save time, can't linger too long." Xiao Feng thought.

This trip, he mainly wanted to familiarize himself with the Myriad Heavens Battlefield gameplay, and also see what kinds of places the late-game "Civilization War" mode can plunder and occupy.

Now the whole map is pitch black; he can see nothing, so he must rely on his own feet to slowly explore.

Time is pressing, can't waste it; he took out his two-handed weapon, maxed his state, and flew out of the base camp.

As he flew out of the base camp's defensive shield, a system prompt suddenly sounded.

【Only characters above level 500 may use flight skills in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield; you cannot currently use Wind Control Art!】

Then with a crack, Xiao Feng fell straight from the sky, losing tens of thousands of HP.

Although it instantly refilled, the feeling still left him very vexed.

"What the hell? Not even letting me fly—this is outrageous!" Xiao Feng snapped.

This world is a super huge map, estimated to be tens of thousands of times larger than the Divine Realm at least.

If flying isn't allowed, how long would it take to run on two legs?

One might run a lifetime and still not get far!

Fortunately, he has a mount!

Xiao Feng summoned the Thunder God and leapt onto it.

The fully grown Angry Thunder God Eagle, with a wingspan nearing twenty meters, flies slower than his own Wind Control, but still quite well.

A beat of its wings, and it shot up instantly, carrying Xiao Feng off into the distance.

Flying at 300 meters altitude, he could see far into the distance.

As far as the eye could see lay an immense expanse of mountains and rivers, the ground almost devoid of roads—only primeval forests, river valleys, and cliffs, completely untouched and unaltered by humanity.

「Aooo—」

In the distance, the howls of wild beasts rose and fell.

In the sky, many birds flew by in flocks.

Xiao Feng took a look at the birds' information and was quite shocked.

【Spirit Tribulation Sparrow】

Camp: Spirit Bird Tribe (NPC tribe)

Level: 260 (Demigod)

HP: 40 million/40 million

Divine Origin Power: 580

Divine Power Resistance: 320

Qi Luck Point: 1

Skills: Wing Slash, Shrill Cry, Summon Flock

This bird that looks utterly ordinary is actually a demigod lifeform!

It looks like a little sparrow, but it's about 1 meter long.

Although its 1-meter size is much larger than an ordinary sparrow, it's still a tiny speck compared to the Thunder God Eagle.

Speaking of attributes…… ten Thunder God Eagles might not even match it!

More importantly, Spirit Tribulation Sparrows move in flocks; when they appear, there are dozens of them!

「Chie—」

A lead Spirit Tribulation Sparrow spotted the huge Thunder God Eagle, immediately flew over and launched an attack.

The sharp birdcall is a form of attack; a few two-digit points of minor damage appeared on Xiao Feng's head, then instantly replenished by the artifact belt's healing effect.

At the same time, the Thunder God Eagle beneath him also got hit, with successive damage ranging from 30,000-100,000 popping up; although it had 5,760,000 HP, it was quite painful, and when dozens of damage instances appeared together, it instantly dropped to half health.

「Fireball! 」

Xiao Feng dared not let his mount continue to endure it; he quickly focused his will, instantly creating 18 large fireballs that roared toward the Spirit Tribulation Sparrow flock.

Boom boom boom—

The 14-meter-diameter fireballs' deterrent power was still extremely strong; over a dozen fireballs detonated together, turning the area within 300 meters into a sea of flames, and all the Spirit Tribulation Sparrows were devoured.

【You defeated the Spirit Tribulation Sparrow, plundered 1 point of Zuzun Qi Yun!】

【You defeated……】
