Chapter 2763: The Battlefield of Planes, Keer
If Wyatt Barnes were here, he would definitely recognize at a glance:
This unkempt figure is none other than ’Ernest Summer’, whom he had met in the mortal plane, and who is also Keer’s third uncle from her past life.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the space channel between the Divine Ruin Lands and the major dimensions has been closed, so I am unable to personally send you back... However, with my power, I can still open a channel through which those below the Daai Law Golden Immortal level can travel to the mortal plane."
"I will now open the channel for you... You may encounter spatial turbulence, but with my ability, I can ensure your safe passage to the mortal plane. As for which mortal plane you will arrive at, it’s beyond my control."
"I’m in a hurry to send you away now because I’m worried that after my brother deals with the stronghold from the ’Land of Retribution,’ he’ll discover your whereabouts... As long as you remain in the Divine Ruin Lands, once my brother comes to his senses, you will be left with nowhere to hide."
Ernest Summer looked at a delicate palace-shaped seal in his hand, his voice traversing the void, merging into the seal.
It was as if someone inside the seal was listening to him.
Almost as soon as his words fell, he raised his hand, slicing through the air with a sweep.
Instantly.
Tearing!
A spatial rift appeared in the void, with an unknown destination.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
After the spatial rift appeared, Ernest Summer abruptly shook the hand holding the seal.
Immediately, figures began emerging from the seal, growing larger and larger, as miniature figures transformed into normal human size in the blink of an eye.
Once these people returned to normal size, they were enveloped by a layer of dark light, then passed through the spatial rift, disappearing into it.
If Wyatt Barnes were here, he would certainly recognize at a glance:
The people now emerging from the seal and passing through the spatial rift, disappearing into it, are none other than his father Lanni Barnes, his mother Christina Lee, his wife Jovie Lee, his son Adonis Barnes, and others...
Additionally, there is his daughter Sienna Barnes, whom he regards as a little sister, Karina Hanson, his senior brother Trevor Baillie, his prospective father-in-law Taoi Romero, and others.
These people, without exception, were those who had been imprisoned by the Cloud Family young master Rocky Cloud in the Divine Ruin Lands to coerce Keer into returning with him.
They were all Wyatt Barnes’ friends and family.
Back then, after Rocky Cloud took this group of people back to the Divine Ruin Lands, they were handed over to the Summer Family Clan Chief, who is also Keer’s father from her previous life and imprisoned.
He intended to use these people to force his daughter to marry Rocky Cloud.
As the major dimensions created by the strongest were colliding, opening up a ’dimensional battlefield’ that would last for a thousand years, he postponed the matter, planning to have his daughter marry Rocky Cloud after a millennium.
The space channel between the Divine Ruin Lands and other major dimensions was closed because of the collision between the Divine Ruin Lands and several parallel dimensions; as long as the dimensional battlefield remains open, the space channel must also remain closed.
Due to her unwillingness and desire to change her fate after a thousand years, Keer ignored Ernest Summer’s advice and ventured alone into the life-threatening ’dimensional battlefield.’
"Without these ties... A thousand years later, Scarlett will feel much more at ease."
"Of course. The premise is... That girl Scarlett makes it out alive from the dimensional battlefield."
After the last person disappeared into the space rift, Ernest Summer sighed and simultaneously raised his hand again, causing that spatial rift in the void to vanish and putting away the seal in his hand.
The seal he held was an imperial-grade Immortal Artifact, similar in nature to the ’Seven Treasure Jewel Tower’, capable of containing living beings.
"However... This time, thanks to Baylor Colby, the Grand Elder of the Colby Family from the Land of Retribution. Had he not come to our Summer Family, I would not have had the opportunity to rescue them and send them away from the Divine Ruin Lands."
Ernest Summer knew clearly:
If not for the enemy’s attack on the Summer Family today, he would not have had the chance to save those people imprisoned by his brother.
After sending Wyatt Barnes’ friends and family away, Ernest Summer vanished in a flash, returning to the Summer Family territory.
With a powerful enemy attacking the Summer Family, as a member of the Summer Family, he naturally couldn’t stand by.
On the other side.
As Ernest Summer raised his hand and the space rift closed, Lanni Barnes, Christina Lee, Jovie Lee, Adonis Barnes, Sienna Barnes, and others were escorted by the power left on them by Ernest Summer as they easily traversed the spatial turbulence.
In the end, heading towards the same mortal plane.
Originally, the group was supposed to go to the same mortal plane, and Ernest Summer thought so too.
But no one expected that during the transport of Lanni Barnes and others towards the mortal plane, a rare turbulent storm erupted in the spatial turbulence along the way, splitting Lanni Barnes and others into several groups, sending them into different mortal planes separately.
Fortunately, because of Ernest Summer’s protective power, each of them safely entered a mortal plane.
The force protecting them by Ernest Summer, upon contact with the spatial barrier of the mundane plane, forcibly tore it apart and sent them inside.
And neither Wyatt Barnes nor Keer were aware of any of this.
The Plane Battlefield.
The ’Plane Battlefield’ of the Divine Ruin Lands opens once every ten thousand years and lasts for a millennium.
The Plane Battlefield can be described as the ’hub’ connecting several parallel planes at the level of the Divine Ruin Lands.
Whether people from the Divine Ruin Lands want to go to other parallel planes or those from other parallel planes wish to come to the Divine Ruin Lands, they all must pass through the Plane Battlefield.
Just like Trevor Baillie, the Grand Elder of the Colby Family from the Place of Sanction, who appeared in the Summer Family’s territory in the Divine Ruin Lands, he entered the Plane Battlefield from the Place of Sanction before coming to the Divine Ruin Lands.
Within the Plane Battlefield, people from several parallel planes, including the Divine Ruin Lands, engage in combat and slaughter each other.
Everyone who enters the Plane Battlefield, regardless of their plane, will be issued a token.
The token indicates which plane the holder is from, and the tokens obtained by individuals of different cultivation levels also vary.
Thus, the tokens are categorized into different levels.
In the Plane Battlefield, people from the same plane, unless they have personal grudges, will not kill each other.
Because killing someone from the same plane and merging their token into yours yields no ’battle merits’; only by killing someone from another plane can you acquire ’battle merits.’
The initial ’battle merits’ depend on the token’s level.
The higher one’s cultivation level, the more battle merits one’s token starts with...
If a person from the Divine Ruin Lands holds a token with only 100 battle merits at first, then when they kill someone from another plane with similar cultivation, they can forcibly swallow the opponent’s token.
Since the cultivation levels are similar, the opponent’s token initially has only 100 battle merits as well.
In such a case, killing the opponent allows their token to swallow the opponent’s token, plundering the battle merits within the opponent’s token, increasing their own token’s battle merits from 100 points to 200 points.
In the Plane Battlefield, there are occasional encounters with ’secret realms’ hidden with various opportunities.
Entering those secret realms often requires consuming battle merits.
The greater the opportunities hidden in the secret realm, the more battle merits are required.
This is why those entering the Plane Battlefield desperately fight against people from other planes, primarily to plunder their battle merits, hoping to accumulate enough to enter the opportunity-laden ’secret realms.’
The secret realms within the Plane Battlefield are said to be left behind by ’The Strongest One’ who opened planes parallel to the Divine Ruin Lands, and the opportunities within can even change a person’s destiny entirely.
This is why the perilous Plane Battlefield never lacks adventurers.
After all, fortune favors the bold!
In a certain corner of the Plane Battlefield, accompanied by the sound of a loud ’bang,’ a breathtakingly beautiful silhouette raised her hand, severely injured a young man, and took his life while he was on the verge of death.
Swoosh!
Almost the moment the young man was killed, a pale cyan token flew out from his body and merged into the token held by the woman who killed him.
Causing the faint gray light on the woman’s token to deepen slightly.
Tokens flashing with gray light indicate a person from the ’Divine Ruin Lands.’
While tokens surrounded by blue light represent a person from the ’Place of Sanction.’
"The battle merits are still too few... This amount can’t even open the lowest grade of ’secret realm.’"
The woman, dressed in a white robe, beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, slightly turned her autumn-colored eyes to the token in her hand that shimmered with faint gray light and sighed heavily.
"I wonder how Brother Leandro is doing now... Has he ascended to the heaven planes yet..."
Suddenly, the woman seemed to think of something, and an intense longing appeared in her eyes.
This woman was none other than ’Keer.’
Since entering the Plane Battlefield, Keer has been adventuring inside, but because she has yet to recover her full strength from her previous life, she has been forced to proceed cautiously.
To this day, though her time inside the Plane Battlefield hasn’t been too long, she has already faced a life-and-death peril once.
Yet even so, she has never regretted coming here.
"Let’s continue... Hopefully, the next target will provide me with more battle merits..."
