Li Qingshan remained silent, his eyes gleaming with the brilliance of 3,000 Rules.
Though he hadn’t broken through to Realm Master, his power was already unfathomable.
Seeing his opponent knocked back, Li Qingshan made a grasping motion with his hand, unleashing the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, trapping his opponent within his palm. He then stood in place, looking into the distance.
In the brief moment of their fight, several divine senses had swept over, and Realm Master experts were arriving one after another.
Li Qingshan, having fully unleashed his power to deal with his first opponent without fleeing, planned to capture a few more Realm Masters. This would provide him with more comprehensive information.
One Realm Master might have limited knowledge, but several Realm Masters combined would surely know much more, helping him to clear his doubts.
Boom!
In the next instant, three more Realm Masters arrived, looking around warily.
The aftermath of the battle lingered, but the opponent was nowhere to be seen. Only Li Qingshan floated in the air, exuding a majestic aura, his eyes shimmering with countless rules.
The three Realm Masters frowned at the sight of Li Qingshan. One of them questioned him.
“Where is Zhou Wei?”
The previous Realm Master was named Zhou Wei.
“I defeated him,” Li Qingshan said.
“A Venerable Completion defeated Zhou Wei so easily?” The three Realm Masters were shocked, staring at Li Qingshan without a trace of doubt.
“Hand over Zhou Wei’s points, and we can leave each other alone.” One of the Realm Masters demanded after recovering from his surprise.
“Yes, you may be strong enough to defeat Zhou Wei, but we are three. You don’t want to be suppressed, do you?”
“Hand over the points and leave.”
The three Realm Masters quickly shifted their focus to Zhou Wei’s points.
As a Realm Master who frequently hunted newcomers on the Supreme Path, Zhou Wei’s points must be considerable, something the three Realm Masters coveted.
However, Li Qingshan had no intention of complying with their demands.
“Zhou Wei’s points are not for you. On the contrary, I want your points.” Li Qingshan shook his head.
“How dare you!”
“Audacious!”
“Arrogant!”
The three Realm Masters shouted angrily, glaring at Li Qingshan. When it came to points, their anger flared instantly.
“Whether it’s arrogance or not, let’s see the truth in combat,” Li Qingshan retorted coldly, his eyes shining like the brightest stars in the universe.
In his hand, he condensed a spear, a manifestation of Rules, and hurled it directly. The phantom of the spear exuded an aura of final judgment.
Judgment Rule!
Behind Li Qingshan, halos emerged, within which appeared the images of countless kings, each different, lifelike, exuding the majesty of rulers of their own worlds. These kingly forms numbered three thousand, each representing a different Rule.
Suddenly, these 3,000 Rule phantoms converged into a colossal entity, seemingly the king of kings, which infused itself into the spear of rules.
At that moment, Li Qingshan’s aura surged, surpassing Venerable Completion and reaching the Realm Master level.
In the next second, the spear of judgment descended.
Boom!
The entire ancient battlefield trembled, collapsing instantly, turning to dust, everything around it obliterated.
The three Realm Masters bore the brunt of the impact, their bodies shaking as they struggled to resist. But all resistance was futile under the spear of judgment.
The spear carried all of Li Qingshan’s current power, pressing down on them. The three Realm Masters spat blood, their faces pale, completely overpowered in an instant.
As the spear of judgment approached, they felt the breath of death. Despite their desperate resistance, it was in vain. The spear shattered everything, unstoppable like the heavens pressing down.
Their end was imminent.
The three Realm Masters screamed, using all their abilities, but it was futile. The shadow of death enveloped them, sparing no one.
Fortunately, at that moment, Li Qingshan withdrew his power, grasping the spear of judgment and dispersing the 3,000 Rules, sparing their lives.
The outcome was determined the moment the battle began.
Looking at the collapsed three Realm Masters, Li Qingshan grabbed them, as he did with Zhou Wei, and threw them into the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm. He then left quickly.
Capturing four Realm Masters should provide ample information.
Moreover, the Realm Masters who hunted newcomers around here were just these four.
They didn’t have many points to begin with, and having four Realm Masters divide them made it even less. They couldn’t do anything to each other, so they united against outsiders, making this the first major hurdle on the Supreme Path.
These four deserved no mercy.
The Supreme Path was fraught with dangers, and dying elsewhere was possible.
But one couldn’t be treated as pigs to be slaughtered upon entry, right?
At least let newcomers have some adaptation time.
These four had killed countless newcomers. The vast Human World Universe saw many entering the Supreme Path, only to die at the entrance, provoking anger.
So Li Qingshan wouldn’t spare them.
Li Qingshan returned to the valley with the four captured Realm Masters. With a wave of his hand, he threw them down.
Demon Frog, Xia Wuji, Immortal Northstar, and Hua Yun all looked over.
“You dealt with four Realm Masters on your own?” Demon Frog asked in surprise. He had thought capturing one would be sufficient, but Li Qingshan had brought back four.
“Their power isn’t that strong. If they were truly powerful, they wouldn’t be in a remote area, hunting newcomers,” Li Qingshan replied.
“But they are still Realm Masters,” Immortal Northstar remarked with a sigh.
“Li Qingshan, you’re too strong. Trying to catch up to you seems impossible for me in this lifetime,” Xia Wuji said.
“Enough of that. You all should interrogate these four about the situation in the Supreme Path,” Li Qingshan said and shook his head. He gestured for Xia Wuji and Immortal Northstar to begin questioning while he held Hua Yun’s hand, silently observing.
“Hey, you four heard him. Answer honestly, and you might live. If not, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Xia Wuji threatened with a grin.
The four Realm Masters, pale and heavily injured, nodded hastily.
No one wanted to die.
Especially not Realm Masters who had reached such a high level of cultivation. They treasured their lives more than anyone.
If they didn’t cherish their lives, why would they hide in the corners, sneaking around to kill newcomers for a few points?
It was either because they couldn’t defeat others, didn’t want to take risks, or were simply too afraid of death.
The four immediately promised to answer truthfully.
Just as Xia Wuji was about to ask, Li Qingshan stopped him and suggested, “Separate one of them, seal his senses, and question the other three first. Then, cross-check the answers. If there are discrepancies, let them deal with it themselves.”
Xia Wuji’s eyes lit up at this idea. He grabbed one of the Realm Masters, sealed his senses, and locked him away, ignoring the terrified looks of the others.
“Now, you can start answering questions,” Xia Wuji said seriously.
The remaining three Realm Masters became earnest, realizing the gravity of the situation.
“What exactly is this place?” Xia Wuji asked.
“You call this the Supreme Path in your Human World Universe. We call it the Cosmic Battlefield,” Zhou Wei answered promptly.
“What is the Cosmic Battlefield?” Xia Wuji pressed on.
“Every few million years, the Six Equal Universes accumulate numerous grievances. If these grievances aren’t resolved, they will grow and eventually explode, causing great disasters. Therefore, the Chaos World initiated the Cosmic Battlefield to allow the major forces of the Six Equal Universes to settle their grievances here,” another Realm Master quickly explained, fearing that not answering would lead to dire consequences.
Li Qingshan glanced at Demon Frog. This aligned with what Demon Frog had told him, making it likely true.
The Supreme Path was indeed a battlefield, extremely perilous. No wonder Shi Tian had abandoned everything to return to the Human World Universe.
“Since it’s for resolving grievances among the Six Equal Universes, why are people from our Human World Universe involved?” Immortal Northstar asked, frowning.
Everyone turned to the third Realm Master, who hadn’t spoken yet.
After a moment of contemplation, the Realm Master responded, “There are a few theories. One is that when the Chaos World created the battlefield, they accidentally affected the Human World Universe, which is why people from your universe are drawn in.”
“Another theory is that the Chaos World discovered that the Human World Universe had lost its access to the Six Equal Universes. To give people from your universe a chance, the Cosmic Battlefield extended to the Human World Universe.”
Having finished his explanation, the Realm Master looked obediently at Xia Wuji, indicating he wasn’t lying.
This answer made everyone ponder. It was clear that the Supreme Path, or the Cosmic Battlefield, was indeed extremely dangerous.
“What is the purpose of our jade tokens and the points on them?” Xia Wuji asked after a moment of thought.
