Chapter 1585: The Secret of the Ultimate Void Battlefield!
Chapter 1585: The Mystery of the Ultimate Void Battlefield!
With a single motion of his right hand, the Supreme Will saw a pristine white light burst from the shattered violet throne and soar into the air, landing precisely upon his palm.
Zhou Shiyu's heart leapt at the sight of that light.
Through the fragments of the Delusion Holy Seal found within the First Treasury, he had suddenly and clearly sensed that the light contained within was, in fact, another fragment of the Delusion Holy Seal.
Could the Supreme Will recognize it instantly?
If only he could have it.
That thought had just begun to form in his mind when he saw the Supreme Will toss the fragment of the Delusion Holy Seal directly into his hands.
Zhou Shiyu instinctively caught it, only to feel a sudden wave of confusion and disorientation.
Was it really that simple? Was it truly given so easily? ???
(End of translation)
Is this a treasure of the immortals, the beings of eternal unbreakable realms? Even the Supreme Will, so powerful, should care deeply about it, right?
At this moment,
the voice of the Supreme Will resonated.
"This item is merely a reward for you."
"Since you came for this, you can't just return empty-handed after accomplishing nothing."
Zhou Shixi hesitated, asking:
"Supreme Will, do you know what this thing truly is?"
To this day, the Supreme Will has no knowledge of what the so-called 'Foolish Legend Holy Seal' actually is—only that it is connected to the immortals of the eternal unbreakable realms.
Yet, what exactly it is remains a mystery to Him. He has no idea how to use it.
"By the scent and name alone, it's likely something from the race of the Illusory."
"It should be the inheritance of a powerful being from the Faction of Illusions, one who has attained the eternal and unbroken state."
"But only by gathering all the fragments can one claim the inheritance."
"Hard! Too hard!"
The Supreme Will shook its head.
Hard, is it?
Zhou Shiyu stared at the fragment of the Legendary Seal of Illusions in his hand, and scratched his head in confusion.
Yet he felt it was surprisingly easy.
He hadn't even searched much, and already he had three of these fragments.
There are only five in total.
He already possesses more than half.
"Don't compare yourself to other creatures."
The Supreme Will, seeing the look on Zhou Shiyu's face, instantly knew what he was thinking. It remained silent and said:
"You were able to obtain it first because you carry great fortune within you—every good thing and fortunate event naturally gathers toward those blessed with such fortune. This includes the fabled, illusory fragment of the Sacred Seal."
"Secondly, you may have some kind of connection to this thing. Otherwise, in terms of fortune, my own fortune far surpasses yours. Yet why, precisely, has it chosen you instead of me?"
"Most likely, your fortune aligns perfectly with its desires."
"Creatures seek treasures, and treasures seek their rightful owners."
"You are probably the one it was meant to find."
Zhou Shiyu nodded.
That was sound reasoning.
Though fortune might draw good things and fortunate events constantly toward those blessed with strong fortune, it still held a certain mystery—something deeper, something more personal.
But when two individuals of equal destiny encounter the same treasure, then who does the treasure seek?
At that moment, it depends on the compatibility between the great destiny and the treasure itself.
That is what is known as "fated resonance."
If the resonance is strong, the great destiny and the treasure will naturally come together.
If the resonance is weak, the one of great destiny might receive another treasure of similar level, but the original treasure will never find you—it will instead seek its preferred master.
Zhou Shiyu looked at the fragment of the Virtuous Legend Sacred Seal in his hands.
Could it be that he truly resonates well with this treasure?
Recalling the entire journey through which he had obtained it, it seemed indeed so.
It had come to him effortlessly, without any effort on his part.
Zhou Shiyu couldn't help but laugh.
The Supreme Will, witnessing this, shook his head with a gentle smile.
Among His four heirs, the Emperor of the People was indeed the one with the most prominent fate, standing at the same level.
"Supreme Will, sir,"
"Shouldn't you need this?"
Zhou Shiyu, curiously pointing at the fragment of the Fable of the Sacred Seal in his hand, asked.
"I already have it."
"And at my level, I've long since forged my own path. Additional inheritances from eternal immortals are merely references—nothing more."
"Having more of them holds little significance."
"You are no different."
The Supreme Will solemnly cautioned: "Do not place too much emphasis on this."
"When you eventually seek to transcend the Boundless Will Realm, or even attain Will Transcendence, you may study how they achieved it—follow the pattern, copy it."
"But when you come to break through the Ever-Immutable Immortality Realm, this can only serve as a reference."
"Excessive attachment to it might lead you astray."
"Understood."
Zhou Shili nodded thoughtfully.
Then, he set it aside.
The Ever-Immutable Immortality Realm lay too far beyond his reach.
For the purpose of breaking through the Boundless Will Realm or Will Transcendence, this inheritance was sufficient.
At this moment, the Supreme Will asked again:
"This is one of the fragments. How many fragments do you still have on your side?"
"Two."
Zhou Shiyu spoke honestly.
"So you still need two more fragments to complete the entire Void Legend Sacred Seal."
"That's quite difficult."
"I can tell you now."
"Just a moment ago."
"I scanned the entire Supreme Grand Universe and found no trace of the other two fragments of the Void Legend Sacred Seal."
"Therefore, the remaining two fragments are not within the Supreme Grand Universe—they are likely located somewhere else in the Ultimate Void Grand Universe, possibly even within the world of the Void Race."
"You may be blessed with great destiny, and perhaps the inheritance has particularly favored you, yet you must prepare yourself for the possibility that you won't obtain these two fragments within a short time."
"Grand Will, rest assured."
Zhou Shixi grinned widely. "I'm merely a Third-Class Supreme God, how could I possibly be anxious about the inheritance of the Eternal Immortality Realm?"
"I understand clearly that my current foremost duty is to further refine my cultivation and strive to break through into the Supreme Will Realm as soon as possible."
"What comes after that—let's discuss it later."
"I won't be preoccupied with distant matters."
"Good mindset."
The Supreme Will praised this, then looked down upon the battlefield before them and smiled:
"From now on."
"Only then will this ultimate void battlefield be completely safe, free of any hidden dangers."
"Take good care of this place from now on."
"You can't underestimate it. This ultimate void battlefield I spent immense effort crafting originally—due to a series of fortunate coincidences, its potential rivals even the Supreme Continent, the River of Time, and the Dusk Battlefield."
"Manage it well, and it will not disappoint you."
"Even equal in potential to the Supreme Continent, the River of Time, and the Dusk Battlefield?"
Zhou Shiyu was startled by this.
"Yes."
"As to why...," the Supreme Will smiled, "you'll naturally understand when you begin to manage this place."
With that,
the Supreme Will said no more, simply vanishing from sight, leaving only Zhou Shiyu standing alone, lost in thought.
"Equal in potential to the Supreme Continent, the River of Time, and the Dusk Battlefield."
"Is this ultimate void battlefield that powerful?"
"Besides the abundant cultivation energy within the void sanctuary and the ability of the ultimate void battlefield to harvest unclaimed treasures from the ultimate void cosmos, how come I don't know of any other advantages this battlefield might possess?"
Zhou Shiyu felt a flicker of suspicion.
After a moment's thought, he decided to seek out Wan Xie Magistrate.
Wan Xie had been managing the ultimate void battlefield ever since his arrival. If there were any secrets hidden within it, Wan Xie would most likely know.
But he didn't go immediately. Instead, he first pulled out his other two fragments of the Delusional Legendary Seal, then fused them together with the newly acquired fragment.
Soon enough.
The three fragments fully merged into one.
A textual prompt appeared.
[Item Name: The Legend of Illusion Holy Seal (3/5)]
[Item Rarity: Unknown]
[Effect 1: (Awakening in progress...)]
[Item Description: Unknown]
Zhou Shiyu had assumed that this fusion would bring no noticeable change, after all, the item was still incomplete, and the previous fusion had yielded nothing significant.
But he could never have imagined that this time, after the fusion, the item's effect would display the words "[Awakening in progress]."
"Awakening in progress?"
"Not fully formed, merely possessing three fragments—yet it already shows effects?!"
Zhou Shiyu's eyes widened in astonishment.
A blessing.
"Don't know how long I'd have to wait?"
Zhou Shizhi thought.
But He wasn't in a rush.
He then placed the fabricated legend of the Holy Seal back into the First Treasure Vault, and immediately activated the ultimate void transit, leaving this place and returning to the realm of the Ten Thousand Evil Demons.
As for this Holy Domain?
After all, whether it was the Chaos Divine Treasure, the Ultimate Void Crystal, or the fabricated legend of the Holy Seal—He had already secured them all. There was nothing left to linger over here anymore.
Soon enough.
He arrived at the realm of the Ten Thousand Evil Demons.
At that moment, the Master of the Ten Thousand Evil Demons was walking alone across the battlefield of the Ultimate Void. When Zhou Shizhi appeared before him, his face revealed astonishment: "Brother, you're already done so quickly?"
"It wasn't really something that took time. Once the matter was settled, I returned."
Zhou Shixi said, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm about to take my subordinates and leave. Before I go, I just want to look around one more time."
The Master of Ten Thousand Evil spirits sighed with a sense of melancholy.
"If you don't want to leave, why not join me in managing this place instead?"
Zhou Shixi offered a sincere invitation.
The Master of Ten Thousand Evil spirits immediately jumped with alarm, quickly saying, "Forget it, forget it. After all, I've finally managed to escape this place and enjoy my own free life. I've even found a vacation spot—how could I possibly come back here?"
Zhou Shi was speechless.
He had just left the Ultimate Void Battlefield, and already he had planned out his vacation destination.
How much did he truly long to escape this place?
Zhou Shixi shook his head, not thinking too much, and simply asked, "Master, do you know of any special places within the Ultimate Void Battlefield?"
"Special?"
Wan Xie Mo Zhu stiffened, then cautiously asked, "Is the Ultimate Void Battlefield, the only ultimate void arena between the Supreme and Crimson Universes, considered special?"
"No, that's not what I mean."
Zhou Shijiu stared blankly, then recounted to Wan Xie Mo Zhu once again what the Supreme had told him.
Wan Xie Mo Zhu's eyes instantly widened.
"Can the Ultimate Void Battlefield rival the Supreme Continent, the Time River, and the Dusk Battlefield???"
"Are you kidding me???"
"I never knew that???"
Zhou Shijiu: "..."
Wow.
What a beast.
Even the Master of a Hundred Evil Demons doesn't know what special qualities the Ultimate Void Battlefield possesses—how could he possibly know where to go?
Did the Supreme Will hide the benefits of the Ultimate Void Battlefield so deeply?
At the same time,
right now, the Master of a Hundred Evil Demons felt as if he had just been struck by lightning.
The Ultimate Void Battlefield—does it have secrets even *he* hasn't discovered?
And secrets so powerful they rival the Supreme Continent, the River of Time, and the Twilight Battlefield?
Is this some kind of joke?
If it's not a joke—but real—then what in the name of all that is eternal has he been doing in the Ultimate Void Battlefield for all these years?
That's a timescale measured in *millennia*.
I truly didn't gain a single benefit—only suffering.
Thinking of this,
the Supreme Evil Mage Master felt his spiritual resolve teetering on the edge of collapse.
Now he felt like an ordinary person suddenly realizing they had missed ten billion yuan.
Who could bear such a revelation?
While Zhou Shiyu was in a state of deep frustration, he also noticed the Supreme Evil Mage Master's crumbling expression.
Upon a single thought, he instantly understood what the Mage Master was crumbling under—the sight of it made him unable to suppress a smile.
Compared to himself, the Supreme Evil Mage Master was truly in despair.
"Brother,"
Zhou Shiyu patted the Supreme Evil Mage Master's shoulder, "We didn't know before—now that we do, you should come back and help me. I promise you a fair share of the benefits from the Ultimate Void Battlefield."
Zhou Shizhi spoke these words with genuine sincerity.
Just as He treated His chosen people.
As long as one treated Him well, He would repay them tenfold, hundredfold.
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Demon Lord's expression became deeply conflicted, yet ultimately He exhaled a breath and decisively declared:
"A true man never turns back!"
"If I have never sensed any hidden benefit here while I've been present, then it is fated that this thing does not belong to me."
The Supreme Demon Lord's face broke into a serene smile. "I still prefer the life I have always longed for."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shizhi patted the Supreme Demon Lord on the shoulder. "At any time, come back to me, brother."
"Thank you, brother."
A smile bloomed upon the Supreme Demon Lord's face.
Then Zhou Shixi and Wan Xiamiang master chatted for a while before Wan Xiamiang master bid farewell and departed.
Looking back at the battlefield as Wan Xiamiang master led his vast army away from the Final Void Battlefield, Zhou Shixi turned to gaze upon the scene before him now.
"What is the true benefit of the Final Void Battlefield?"
After long contemplation, Zhou Shixi decided not to speculate further.
He was going to go all-in!
With a flick of his right hand, he saw Bodhi Master appear in his grasp.
"I know what you're about to ask."
Bodhi Master smiled gently. "This question, you're lucky—just one ordinary clarification is enough."
"Alright."
Although Zhou Shixi was curious as to how such an answer could be so inexpensive, he still agreed.
"The answer to this question is simple."
"When you send your troops to occupy every city in the Ultimate Void Battlefield, you'll then discover the benefits of the Ultimate Void Battlefield."
Bodhi Master said.
Zhou Shiyu nodded.
Bodhi Master nodded in return.
"None?"
Zhou Shiyu was taken aback.
"None."
Bodhi Master spoke plainly.
"Is that called an answer?"
Zhou Shixi was startled.
"Otherwise, why do you think it's so cheap?"
Bodhi Master countered.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shixi found himself at a loss for words, unable to come up with a rebuttal.
