Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

Chapter 1988: Anomaly at the Chasm Entrance



“What the heck, this is too much!” Stout shouted.

“Amazing!” Bob exclaimed simultaneously.

“In the mid-level star domain, are all the martial techniques this insane? Are we just going to get ourselves killed?”

Azure Dragon and White Tiger had expressions of agreement on their faces.

Originally, over the past month, everyone’s cultivation had improved significantly, giving them some confidence about heading to the mid-level star domain.

But after seeing this sword strike, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.

This was too powerful!

If the mid-level star domain really had such formidable martial techniques, it would be better not to go!Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Don’t underestimate yourselves too much!” Opal said.

“According to the senior from Five Elements Realm, the high-end combat power in the mid-level star domain is indeed very strong, far beyond what the low-level star domain can compare to.”

“But that only represents the upper half of the food chain; it doesn’t mean all warriors in the mid-level star domain are that strong.”

“From what he said, the average warrior is at the Entering Emptiness Realm.”

Even at an average level, they were already at the Entering Emptiness Realm. Isn’t that strong enough?

“Opal, it would have been better if you hadn’t said anything. Now I feel even less confident,” Judge replied.

“Judge, what’s there to be afraid of? Just do it!” Stout said with a loud and boisterous expression.

“Pressure creates motivation!” Opal said calmly.

“Think about it. What was our situation when we first entered the Great Blue Star Domain? At that time, we probably didn’t even count as average level!”

“Heh, that’s true!” Judge grinned.

“Boss, when are we going to the City of the Dead?” Casey asked Billy.

“We’ll rest for a day and set off tomorrow…” Billy started to respond but stopped halfway.

He then took out a Mystic Echo Stone and covered it with his spiritual power.

“Hmm?” After listening to the message in the Mystic Echo Stone, Billy frowned.

“Billy, what’s wrong?” Harleen noticed his unusual expression.

“The Young Lady from Mysterious Hall Sect sent a message saying there’s an abnormal phenomenon at the Star Domain Chasm!” Billy responded.

“Abnormal phenomenon? Did she say what exactly happened?” Harleen asked after a moment of surprise.

“She didn’t say!” Billy thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s head back to the City of the Dead!”

“Alright!” everyone responded simultaneously.

Then, they flew towards the location of their third-level starship.

On the third morning, Billy led his group into the City of the Dead.

However, they hadn’t gone far before they stopped.

In front of them lay hundreds of bodies scattered around, with severed limbs and blood everywhere. The scene was horrific.

“What happened?” White Tiger couldn’t help but ask.

“Let’s go check out the Star Domain Chasm!” Billy frowned slightly, feeling a bad premonition.

After speaking, he led everyone towards the Chasm passage.

Along the way, they frequently encountered similar scenes-hundreds or thousands of people killed with no survivors.

“Billy Boy, could it be that the barrier inside the Chasm has been broken and people from the mid-level star domain have come to the City of the Dead?” Amber asked.

“No way?” Judge and Soul Chaser exclaimed simultaneously.

“It’s possible!” Billy nodded in response.

“The two barriers inside the Chasm have existed for a thousand years. People from the mid-level star domain have had plenty of time to find a way to break them.”

In fact, two days ago, when he received Lacey Allison’s message, he had already suspected this.

Seeing the current situation confirmed his suspicions even more.

About ten minutes later, they landed above a canyon below the Chasm passage.

Even though they were somewhat mentally prepared, they were still shocked by what they saw.

On the flat ground above and inside the canyon lay thousands of bodies. The scene looked like a small-scale hell.

They released their spiritual power to investigate and found no survivors.

“The barrier still seems to be there!” Judge looked up and said.

“Let’s go up and take a look!” Billy replied and led everyone towards the Chasm entrance.

Soon, they reached a distance of several dozen meters from the entrance. They saw ripples at the entrance but no apparent abnormalities on the surface.

“You all step back!” Billy said after thinking for a moment.

“Alright!” everyone responded and stepped aside.

Billy then used his full strength to strike at the barrier with his palm.

A loud noise echoed as the void trembled slightly.

Although the barrier itself didn’t react much like last time, there was no thunderous retaliation as expected!

Billy didn’t stop and continued to strike several more times at the entrance.

The result was similar; the barrier remained undamaged, but there was no thunderous retaliation either.

“Boss, why isn’t there any thunderous retaliation?” Casey asked as they approached Billy.

“The people from the mid-level star domain must have broken part of the array,” Billy responded thoughtfully.

The reason he said part of the array was because the barrier itself hadn’t been damaged; perhaps only the thunderous retaliation part had been nullified.

“The barrier doesn’t seem damaged. How did people from the mid-level star domain get through?” Judge asked.

“Without thunderous retaliation, someone with sufficient cultivation might be able to forcibly tear open a crack,” Aubree said from the side.

“No way?” Judge was stunned. “How strong would they have to be?”

“I’m not sure exactly how strong they’d need to be, but I estimate that someone at Entering Emptiness Realm would find it very difficult…” Aubree said with a serious expression.

So, does this mean that someone at Perfection Emptiness Realm from the mid-level star domain has come to the City of the Dead?!

A Perfection Emptiness Realm expert could probably obliterate them with just a thought.

“Let’s go down!” Billy’s face also showed a serious expression.

He knew very well that what Aubree said was highly likely!

To forcibly tear open this barrier, someone at Entering Emptiness Realm definitely couldn’t do it!

At that moment, a loud noise came from their right. In the distance, a mushroom cloud of air waves rose into the sky, causing the entire void to tremble.

From this display alone, it was clear that both sides of the battle were definitely experts at Entering Emptiness Realm.

“Hmm?” Casey and others were stunned simultaneously.

“Let’s go take a look!” Billy said in a deep voice and flew towards it. Casey and Harleen followed closely behind him.

As they arrived above a mountainous area about twenty or thirty kilometers away from the canyon, another loud noise echoed from ahead.

Afterward, they saw a middle-aged figure being thrown back a thousand meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
