'Where did you run away?'

[Beep! Target located! Sending coordinates.]

Leylin didn't waste time as he moved. His body flashed like the rainbow, weaving through the forest like a shuttle. Yalan and Terrace weren't able to follow him.

After ten minutes, he halted, looking at the valley in front of him with raised eyebrow. "Here?"

The valley in between the mountains was covered in layers of gray shadows and mists. Folds of barriers were set that covered the whole area. Chaotic energy stayed inside the barriers particularly. It seemed to hide the extreme dangers.

That area was apparently a prohibited land in the Extreme Purgatory Field. The magical Extreme Purgatory Field had so many similar areas. When normal participants encountered such places, they would try to avoid them at all costs. No one dared to intrude.

Rumors said that those barriers were made of the initial natural formations of this land. The Imperial Master of several previous generations had created them. Let alone the participants, even the owner of the divine nation Caligula couldn't understand all the mysteries of those barriers.

Before the participants entered the Extreme Purgatory Field, the host would explain and tell them to stay away from those prohibited areas.

According to them, those forbidden areas were the key nodes that created the Extreme Purgatory Field. These areas hid so many mysterious dangers. If they entered those places rashly, their soul altars could possibly vanish. They could also break the balance of the Extreme Purgatory Field which would prevent it from functioning properly.

Almost all the participants followed this rule. They wouldn't enter these places willingly. Out of those who dared to intrude, not many got out alive.

Magical energy fluctuations signaled from that valley, stating that it was one of the banned lands of the Extreme Purgatory Field.

"That old man has joined the Extreme Purgatory Field many times. He must be familiar with this place. If he dared to get inside, he must have a backup... Maybe inside here is the secret he is hiding." Leylin looked at the valley and felt the barriers restricting entry.

"It's pretty exquisite. Forcefully entering is gonna be hard." Leylin contemplated for one second and laughed, "But if it's just a barrier. It's doable."

Then, his thoughts flickered. The Sky-breaking Shuttle appeared from the Storage Ring. He sent a beam of his Soul Consciousness into the shuttle.

"Can you open the restrictions?"

"Yes."

"Okay!"

Wisps of fine energy circulated, rolling grumblingly and massively pouring into the Sky-breaking Shuttle.

Receiving the energy from his body, the Sky-breaking Shuttle, designed to break all kind of barriers and restrictions, turned into a shooting light that tore layers of barriers, flying toward the center of the forbidden land.

Leylin turned into a bunch of light before disappearing shortly.

'Although your creator was just a sacred level blacksmith, you are pretty capable to destroy barriers even here in Raging Flame Star Area. I am very impressed.'

'My creator was a genius, it's only a pity that his cultivation couldn't advance and lacked resources to advance his skills otherwise he would have naturally advanced to Divine level.'

'I guess.'

The light passage created by the Sky-breaking Shuttle gradually vanishedas Leylin entered.

-------------------

The scene changed subtly.

Leylin was standing in a beautiful blooming valley. Two streams crossed each other, which were clear enough to see the bottom. Small fish swam back and forth happily. Wild grass grew up to people's waist in every corner of the valley. They looked like the fuzz of a giant beast.

The air was fresh, cool, and humid in the valley. Earth and heaven energy were very thick. The wild grass was mowed in a small area of the valley where a small cottage stood. The door was open, revealing an old, pale man using pellets to recover.

He was the old man Leylin had encountered.

In the moment Leylin saw the man, the old man also noticed him. He jolted up, his expression changing dramatically in surprise. He shouted, "Kid, how did you get in here? Didn't those barriers make you struggle? How could you?"

"Insignificant things."

Leylin walked step by step towards that old man, "This is a good hiding spot. I reckon this is your secret to surviving 5 Extreme Purgatory Field. For you to give two hundred and fifty years of life here, I wonder what's so special about this forbidden ground."

That old man stopped restoring his aura and walked out of his cottage. In front of him were the two crossing streams. He had installed the net to restrain the fish in the streams. It seemed that he kept the fish for food.

The whole scene was beautiful and harmonious. The old man stood by the stream and he stooped to watch the small fish, inhaling the pleasant fragrance of flowers permeating the air. He wasn't tense or anxious at all.

He even beamed a smile at Leylin. "I don't know how you came here you are really a peculiar person but I'm glad you came. My Purgatory Token is here now."

Leylin smiled, slightly shaking his head. "*Sigh* Your chances of survival are none old man. Now that I have found out about your secret place, your life has lost its worth."

Leylin didn't even look at the old man, why bother looking at a dead man instead he was more interested about this place.

All of a sudden, Leylin disappeared from his spot and appeared just above the head of the old man. He urged the power of the Immortal Demon Blood, pouring it into his arm. His iron fist pounded towards his head grumblingly.

Boom Boom!

The impact from his fist pummeling the old man into the ground caused great tremors. An area of several tens of thousand meters seemed to get hit by a meteor. The ground cracked as if there was an earthquake. The pits that appeared were so deep that people wouldn't be able to see the bottom.

The condensed energy of the Immortal Demon Blood was sent to the ground, creating an earth-shaking scene. The tremendous energy ran deep under the Extreme Purgatory Field.

Grumbling noise from the tremors continually echoed. The mountain near the valley was trembling and collapsed. Such a scale of damage was really scary indeed.

Although he was at peak Third Sky of King God Realm, the old man's God Body wasn't able to withstand such a punch and his body evaporated into a blood mist.

Leylin retrieved his powers, looking at the pool of blood with crushed pieces of bone and flesh inside the dozen-meter-deep pit in front of him with satisfaction.

"A.I.Chip imprison his soul and use memory search!"

Dark Firnament Divine Nation

The whole scene where Leylin, Yalan and Terrace met and fought with that old man was hidden from everyone.

In their perception, everything was shrouded with mist and when it restored clarity, both the old man and Leylin were missing without a trace.

Caligula looked at that giant mirror with astonishment. He was baffled for a while then muttered, "They probably entered a forbidden zone. Our divine nation hasn't had an Imperial Master for a long time. I know the previous Imperial Masters all lived in the Extreme Purgatory Field. That place should store their inheritance. After this training ends, it's time for us to find an Imperial Master. How about the business you have done?" He glared at Zahira.

Zahira bold brows knitted together. Her beautiful eyes flared a strange halo. She pondered for a while then shook her head. "He doesn't want to take the Imperial Master role."

"The knot in his heart hasn't been untied yet. It seems that I will have to work on him myself." Caligula nodded as if he already knew this result beforehand.

The man he wanted Zahira to rope in is none other than his own brother-in-law and Zahira's uncle. That man is a top level and well renowned Alchemist but due to his resentment against the ways of Caligula he rejected all of his offers to join him.

Zahira was sent to the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field where he temporarily resided to convince him. Zahira was the spitting image of her mother, that's why Caligula thought she might succeed but alas that old man was too stubborn.

"After screening him, I can say that he is currently one of the most impressive alchemists of the entire Raging Flame Star Area. If he agrees to assist the divine nation, we will have more strong experts. Sigh… only if we had an Imperial Master, he could inherit from the few generations before him. We would have been able to give a clear path. What a pity. It is shameful for me to talk to him."

Zahira kept silent, her face complicated. She didn't know exactly what had happened that year.

"Little Zahira, you are not young anymore. Do you have anyone in mind right now?" Caligula suddenly asked.

Zahira's beautiful face blushed. She shook her head shyly. "I don't want to think about this for the time being."

"Previously, Heath Nash of the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce told me about his son. You've heard about his only son, Riyo Nash. His bearings aren't bad either. I heard that he is handsome. He is also excellent in many aspects. If we want to talk about the perfect match for you in the Raging Flame Star Area, he would be the one. What do you think?"

"No," Zahira shook her head after contemplating for a while. "I don't really know about this at the moment."

"Alright then. I also need time to think. Consider him." Caligula's eyes sparkled. "The Ethereal God Realm is a big door. I don't dare go before preparing. However, I have to do it. If something happens to you, you better find the man in the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field. He will take care of you."

"Father, if something happens to you, what about our divine nation?" Zahira forced a smile. "The five great feudal vassals have their own forces. They're all mighty. Without you, who would suppress them?"

Caligula kept silent. After a while, he answered deliberately, "I believe in their loyalty to the divine nation."

"But..." Zahira wanted to say something but she didn't finish.

"Do not babble!" Caligula shouted, giving an angry look. "When I'm about to break through, I'll have my arrangement!"

She nodded begrudgingly. Her look shifted to the shining mirror once again. She didn't know why she was worrying about Leylin. Perhaps it was because she didn't want anything bad to happen to him.

She had heard about Riyo Nash of the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce. She knew he was a great character. But she didn't know why she had no interest in him.

--------------------------------

Inside the forbidden land of Purgatory Field Star.

Leylin toyed with a cube-shaped stone in his hands. That stone had some patterns that looked like natural drawings or formations. It held magical energy that made the patterns move and shimmer.

After reading the old man's memories Leylin understood a lot or things.

First of all, the secrets behind his bizarre ability to hide the detection of others is this stone. This stone can cut off the sensing of the Purgatory Token.

With this stone, the contestants in the Extreme Purgatory Field can't find the holder with their Purgatory Token and one can also enter the ninety-nine forbidden places of the Extreme Purgatory Field easily without worrying about the barriers.

This cube stone seemed to be able to hide the God Soul and the soul altar. It was a marvelous device.

Leylin was intrigued to find that this old man wasn't the only one with this cube stone. There are several stones like this.

The old man was rather mild, but the others who keep this stone are all the craziest prisoners of the Extreme Purgatory Field. After participating in the Extreme Purgatory Field for several times, they agreed to keep this a secret. Even the owner of the divine nation doesn't know about it.

"Inheritance..This is all for the inheritance left by Imperial Masters. And after getting access to such a fantastic place who would want to go anywhere else either." Leylin muttered and started walking quickly. Following the memories of the old man he passed through the cottage to another place deeper inside the valley.

Flowers bloomed everywhere in this valley, grass also present in the entire area. Water murmured. Fish swam. The whole place was peaceful and harmonious like a fairyland.

No matter how hard people could imagine, they would never picture a wonderful place like this in the bloody Extreme Purgatory Field. The forbidden lands were intimidatingly dangerous, but they also hid a different world.

Out of the ninety-nine forbidden places in Purgatory Star, only five are actually wonderful like this and the only way to access them is cube-shaped stone in Leylin's hand.

There are four other people in the Extreme Purgatory Field with the cube stones. Despite the fact that the lands were harsh, they have stayed in Extreme Purgatory Field for a long time.

"Since they got the cube stones, even Caligula Arman couldn't find them or know their situations."

Leylin soon stopped walking. At first glance, he knew this place was something special.

It was a grand palace.

Stood between the two mountains at the end of the valley was a grand palace. The high mountain that jutted up to the sky provided shade for this palace. Thick clouds hovered above the palace like water ink that blocked light and didn't disperse.

The grand palace radiated immense divine light. It looked like this palace was made of gold, jade, and gemstone It was tall and pleasing to the eyes. Stone pillars stood in the center, supporting the palace. This scenery looked exactly like what you would find in a fairyland..

At this moment, they were standing next to the nearest pillar which could even shield the whole sky. Lifting up their heads to look at the palace, they felt so small.

Magical energy fluctuations diffused from time to time from the foundation pillar of the palace. They rippled out like magnificent waves. Each wave had at least dozens of layers, and each layer was a magical barrier. They were all mysterious and conveyed the might of Nature, which silenced them in awe.

The five palaces in the Extreme Purgatory Field all belong to the five previous Imperial Masters of the Dark Firmament Divine Nation. No one knows what they hid in there, but these palaces have something. The other four also believe the same thing. They aren't hurrying to leave because they want to discover this secret.

"Well that's just one of the reasons. The inheritance of Imperial Masters are obviously alluring but the main reason no one wants to leave is because of it's amazing environment."

Usually once the three years of the training in the Extreme Purgatory Field ends, the sensitive feelings towards earth and heaven powers will disappear.

After three years, the Extreme Purgatory Field will be like other places. It won't be able to offer assistance to warriors and their realms.

Ninety-four out of the ninety-nine forbidden areas will be the same. The energy there will disappear. However, the five forbidden areas with the palaces won't disappear. The sensitive sensing of natural energy will remain here forever!

Years ago, the old man that Leylin killed to rob the cube stone was only at Sky Realm. Back then, his whole family was massacred. His wife was raped in front of him. He desired nothing more than revenge!

But his archenemy was too strong. Living normally was hard for him. Although the Raging Flame Star Area's vast, he can't find enough shelter. But the Extreme Purgatory Field was just the place that he needed. With hands soaked in blood. He killed many to make Alavid jail him in the Extreme Purgatory Field. Staying here, He avoided enemy's pursuit.

Also, he can have a better place to cultivate and increase his realm. That is why he stayed idle here for two hundred and fifty years. From the Sky Realm, he reached the Third Sky of King God Realm. He sacrificed a lot for my revenge!

But unfortunately, his paths crossed with the God of Slaughter. He who devoids all hope, loathes all justice and erases all grievances, through the path of chaos Leylin freed another poor soul.

...

Time flies fast inside the Purgatory Star. Soon, the training in the Extreme Purgatory Field had come to an end. The term of three years was about to end.

No one saw Leylin. The battle that everyone had been waiting for didn't take place.

When the magical effects of the Extreme Purgatory Field vanished, Morgan and the five great feudal vassals cooperated in checking the battlefields. The lucky prisoners and villains who survived were jailed again.

Morgan faced the sky and shouted to call for the participants. Gradually, they came one by one. But Leylin had never shown up. Leona waited in silence. Her face gradually darkened.

It seemed like she lost her bet and Leylin died but... This was just another chapter of his astral journey.
