Moreover, the crack continued to expand.
The impassive Nascent Soul Stage messenger’s mirror emitted a light that shone further and further.
Gradually, a bizarre crack, dozens of miles long, finally fully appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Strange lights flickered within the crack, seemingly filled with unknown dangers.
Once the crack had fully stabilized, the indifferent Nascent Soul Stage messenger suddenly waved his hand and tossed something out.
Innumerable triangular tokens flew out, magically forming a straight line and floating in front of the crack.
These triangular tokens only had two colors.
White and black.
They distinctly divided the straight line into two segments.
Yang Che clearly saw that the white tokens were engraved with the words 'Seven Alliance', while the black tokens were engraved with 'Mist Hidden'.
At this moment, the Nascent Soul messenger said loudly, “Everyone wishing to enter the Boundary Battlefield, listen carefully.
Each of you must take one of these tokens.
This token can not only help you resist the strong winds and turbulent currents of the Boundary Battlefield, but it is also the proof that will automatically transport you out of the Boundary Battlefield after one year.
If you lose this token, hehe, then you’ll have to stay in there for another five hundred years.
However, whether you’ll live to see that time depends on your own fortune.”
The Xiushi smiled sinisterly, immediately causing everyone to fix their gaze intently on those triangular tokens.
The Nascent Soul messenger gradually reverted to his indifferent expression and continued, “In this Boundary Battlefield, both of your great realms will rely on your own abilities.
Whichever side acquires the most full pattern star stones will have the right to mine two Spirit Crystal ore veins for five hundred years.”
As soon as the Xiushi finished speaking, the Cultivators from the two different factions immediately sparked hidden hostility towards each other.
To avoid attracting attention, Yang Che did not deliberately search for or sense any acquaintances around him, especially which Disciples the Qing Jian Sect had sent.
His attention was also focused on those triangular tokens.
Once the Nascent Soul messenger finally announced that they could enter, all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators flew towards the triangular tokens.
Yang Che was wearing Flash Cloud Boots, and when he activated his speed Divine Ability, he deliberately controlled himself to stay in the middle of the crowd, neither too far ahead nor too far behind, and quickly obtained a black triangular token.
However, he caught a glimpse and noticed that a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator from the Seven Alliance Realm, after taking his required white token, shamelessly took over a dozen black tokens nearby as well.
This Cultivator was tall and thin, with small eyes and a pointed chin.
After taking over a dozen black tokens, he even revealed a smug expression.
Upon noticing Yang Che's gaze, his expression immediately turned fierce and sharp, and he glared fiercely at Yang Che before flashing away and disappearing into the crack.
Yang Che sneered inwardly, firmly remembering the Cultivator's appearance.
Subsequently, the Cultivators who had received their tokens one by one entered the crack and stepped into the Boundary Battlefield.
Yang Che then recalled Tianxie Ziyin's words, telling him to be prepared at all times, as the moment he entered might be unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Therefore, Yang Che unleashed his Fusion power, activating his Physical Body strength to its maximum.
Immediately after, he tightly clutched an Elementary High-Rank defensive Spirit Talisman in one hand, while with the other, he activated two layers of lightning clouds around himself the moment he entered the crack.
The moment he entered the crack, Yang Che suddenly felt a powerful current of Qi inexplicably blow out from somewhere, directly 'blowing' him far away, like a piece of paper, swaying and stumbling, almost falling to the ground in a sorry state.
Fortunately, he had prepared himself mentally beforehand, and relying on the Flash Cloud Boots on his feet, he was ultimately able to control his speed well, which prevented him from being blown over.
Most Cultivators, however, were directly blown to the ground as soon as they entered, some even rolling several times, before quickly and awkwardly getting up, their faces flushed with embarrassment, and then swiftly heading deeper into the Boundary Battlefield.
Yang Che noticed that as soon as he entered the Boundary Battlefield, the crack began to close little by little until it was completely shut.
Carefully observing the so-called 'Boundary Battlefield' before him, Yang Che found that it resembled a boundless, colorless world.
Everywhere was a hazy gray.
Strong winds raged, and bizarre turbulent currents like the one just experienced could appear at any moment.
The power of these turbulent currents was very strong; even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, if not careful, could be blown to an unknown dangerous place at any time.
From Tianxie Ziyin, Yang Che already knew that this Boundary Battlefield gives birth to a very powerful and strange Yao Beast called a 'Star Pattern Beast', also simply referred to as a 'Star Beast'.
These Star Beasts are very special.
Their strength is ranked by the number of star patterns appearing on their foreheads: one star pattern is equivalent to a Rank 1 Yao Beast, two star patterns to a Rank 2 Yao Beast, three star patterns to a Rank 3 Yao Beast, and so on.
The strongest Star Pattern Beast here is said to have five star patterns on its forehead, equivalent to a Rank 5 Yao Beast comparable to an Early Golden Core Stage Cultivator.
Two-pattern Star Beasts are equivalent to Foundation Establishment Stage Early Phase, three-pattern Star Beasts to Foundation Establishment Stage, and four-pattern Star Beasts to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
However, even a Star Beast with only one star pattern on its forehead, only comparable to a Qi Refining peak Cultivator, should never be underestimated.
Because the lower the Rank of the Star Beast, the more likely they are to appear in groups.
Moreover, because this Boundary Battlefield is a special space, the number of these Star Beasts is astonishing.
The 'star rune stone' that the Mist Hidden Realm and Seven Alliance Realm need to acquire is also an incredibly strange stone.
This star rune stone is said to only have a very low probability of containing an extremely faint special power of the starry sky, but only the full pattern kind.
Those with great Opportunity can glimpse a trace of the Law of Heaven and Earth from it.
The strong Cultivators of the Rank 5 Realm, powerful Cultivators starting from Soul Transformation, have already begun to comprehend Law.
Therefore, the full pattern star stone containing this special power of the starry sky is also a rare Cultivation item they need.
However, in this special Boundary Battlefield, this stone only forms a batch of 'full pattern' star rune stones every five hundred years.
Furthermore, due to the Boundary Battlefield only safely allowing Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage to enter.
Therefore, the Rank 5 Xuanwu Realm opens the Boundary Battlefield once every five hundred years.
Originally, this Xuanwu Realm would send its own Realm's Foundation Establishment Cultivators into the Boundary Battlefield to collect this stone.
However, as the death rate became increasingly high, many Sects in the Xuanwu Realm were no longer willing to send their Foundation Establishment Disciples in.
After all, Foundation Establishment Disciples are also the bloodline of the Sect; for a Sect to prosper indefinitely, it naturally relies on these Disciples for continuation.
So, for the past two Boundary Battlefield openings, it has become a practice to have the subordinate Rank 4 Realms send Foundation Establishment Cultivators to collect full pattern star stones, with the five-hundred-year mining rights to spirit mines as a reward.
While all the entering Cultivators were hurriedly making their way to Starfall Mountain deep within the battlefield, Yang Che did the opposite and did not delve deeper, but instead, under the guidance of Tianxie Ziyin, followed a special trajectory, stepping onto the Dunjxing Shuo and speeding along.
However, he had barely flown far when he was stopped by someone.
Yang Che looked and saw it was the tall and thin, small-eyed, pointed-chinned Cultivator from the Seven Alliance Realm who had previously played a trick and taken over a dozen black tokens.
