Chapter 90: Entry
This is a desolate planet, uninhabited. People from all directions of the universe descend upon a mountainous region of this uninhabited planet, with a huge canyon in the middle.
The starship of the O'Brian Republic lands on the mountains, and subsequently, practitioners begin to walk out from the starship one after another.
Xu Mo also stepped out from the starship. He glanced overhead, seeing starships and flying devices shuttling about, along with fully armed Transcendents clad in armor. The vast mountainous and canyon region is filled with a primal aura, yet the starships and Transcendents flying in the sky exude a mechanical sense.
This is not the Empire Trial Field, but rather the nearest planet to it. They gather here, and at the agreed time, they will depart from this region to the drop point, where members of various forces will be sent into the Empire Trial Field.
The Empire Trial Field is an enclosed planet.
Augustus and others stood beside Xu Mo, his gaze cast into the distance. In different areas of the mountains, Transcendents from various camps had arrived, representing major forces from all corners of the universe.
The Empire Trial Field will be a trial filled with crisis and limitless imagination.
"Someone is fighting." Lowell's gaze turned towards the middle of the canyon, where he noticed a battle taking place.
Xu Mo also looked in that direction. Even though it was very far away, his eyesight still allowed him to see.
Among the combatants, one person was fully armed with a mechanical style, while the other was tall and giant-like, appearing two or three times the height of the other, yet still of the human race.
"The Giant Clan?" Lowell expressed a strange look.
"It should be a race from the Tyr Star Domain." At this moment, a group of figures walked forward, and it was Oxso who spoke, looking towards the distance, saying, "The Tyr Star Domain is home to many ancient races in the universe. The race that rules the Tyr Star Domain now claims to be the Heavenly God Race, possessing the most powerful Giant bloodline."
"Heavenly God Race?"
Xu Mo revealed a hint of uniqueness as he thought of Tanis from Byron Star. Tanis was of the Titan Clan and carried its bloodline. Could it be related to the Heavenly God Race?
"Claiming to be the Heavenly God Race, nobody dared to do so during the Empire era," Proto stepped forward and said. He had read many books, always harboring admiration for the civilization of the Emperor River. Naturally, he knew of the Heavenly God Race from the Tyr Star Domain, a race with extremely strong combat power.
However, in the era ruled by the Silver Star Empire, all races had to submit. Who dared to call themselves gods?
In the era following the Empire's collapse, monsters and strange creatures emerged, and chaos reigned.
The rulers of the Tyr Star Domain now call themselves the Heavenly God Race, even though they had such a title in ancient times, they were suppressed during the Empire era.
Additionally, the rulers of the Saint Tiya Star Domain call themselves the Divine Country, believing themselves to be a civilization of higher dimensions, destined to rule the universe as gods.
Even in the Odyssey Star Domain, those major races that bowed down during the Empire era have now established a super alliance, aspiring to become the universe's overlords.
Of course, there is also the Church, always ambitious, with the Pope aiming to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with that legendary figure of the Silver Star Empire.
The era of chaos is the worst of times.
Proto hopes that one day, the Republic's fleet can venture to every planet in the universe.
Of course, this is merely a beautiful vision, impossible to achieve.
The O'Brian Republic and Kales Empire rule the vastest regions of the universe, occupying the most planets, but those are not what the civilization of the Emperor River deems worth contesting for.
The Emperor River Civilization's forces disregard the remote planets; otherwise, the O'Brian Republic and Kales Empire could never have developed to their current scale.
The battle in the distant canyon concluded with the giant's victory, his violent power crushing and defeating his opponent. However, he did not deliver a killing blow, for there was no need to be life and death outside the Empire Trial Field.
The real battlefield is inside the Empire Trial Field, where anything goes without outside interference.
A breeze blew, and Xu Mo gazed into the distance to see a menacing starship heading this way.
This starship resembled a colossal monster, its entire body dark, its design menacing and sharp.
"The starship of the Kales Empire," Lowell said in a low voice. Many people stepped forward, staring at the starship approaching, even the prominent figures accompanying them glanced at the starship.
As the starship of the Kales Empire hovered in front, a voice emerged from it: "O'Brian, welcome everyone to the Empire Trial Field."
This voice seemed welcoming but was filled with hostility, after all, they were natural enemies.
Heath O'Brien stepped forward, his gaze locked onto that starship.
"Heath O'Brien." The voice from the starship emerged again: "And the Transcendents from the Mystic God Temple, it seems this time the O'Brian Republic is well prepared."
Heath O'Brien's identity was evidently impossible to hide, recognized at a glance, possibly already known to the Empire even before his departure.
"If you wish to chat, why not come out of the starship," Heath O'Brien coldly responded.
A mocking laugh echoed from the starship, a voice said, "No rush."
Suddenly, the starship rushed forward as if to charge towards them, causing many people to step out and release a powerful aura, yet the starship drew a perfect arc, directly breaking through the air and leaving, still with the sound of ridicule coming from within.
"See you at the Empire Trial Field."
Everyone frowned as they watched the departing starship of the Empire, the people of the Empire were very arrogant, daring to come forward and provoke directly.
After entering the Empire Trial Field, there will likely be a fierce battle, first having to face the targeted approach of the Kales Empire.
The Transcendents of the Mystic God Temple were thoughtful; before their departure, the Mystic God Temple had already warned them of the high mortality rate, giving them a choice. Since they had come here, they were naturally prepared.
"Rest here," said Heath O'Brien, and immediately everyone camped on the spot, patiently waiting.
A few days later, an extremely fierce storm swept in from the sky, and when the people looked up, they saw enormous oval-shaped starships descending, with an elongated starship in the middle, like a sharp sword, adorned with very cool patterns of a sword and a crown.
"The Lin Clan."
The arrival of these starships stirred the hearts of everyone, as this symbol had influenced the universe for tens of thousands of years, ruling the known cosmos with supreme authority.
However, since the collapse of the Empire, the influence of the Ancient Royal Family was no longer the same, and various forces even dared to challenge them. If not for the fact that the Lin Clan still had a Great Practitioner in command, they might have been annihilated already.
After the collapse of the Empire, many forces at the time wanted to completely destroy the Old Imperial Family to eliminate future threats.
"Let's go."
A voice from the elongated starship, like a droplet, transmitted across the entire mountainous gorge region, prompting members of various forces to step onto the starships in succession, starting simultaneously.
The Empire Trial Field is the trial ground of the Old Empire. Although it is now open to the public, the rights to it remain controlled by the Lin Clan.
The starship of the Lin Clan headed into space, and immediately a grand procession followed.
They soon entered space and headed towards the nearest planet from there.
It did not take long for them to arrive at the outskirts of another planet in space, which appeared to be wrapped tightly by mechanical bodies, releasing powerful energy light.
The whole planet, from the outside, appeared to be a giant moving mechanical body.
At this moment, a section of the boundless mechanical body suddenly lit up with extremely magnificent energy light, from which emerged a terrifying suction force, forming a storm.
"The Empire Trial Field is now open, it will last for three years, everyone may enter," a voice from the starship of the Lin Clan announced, followed by figures appearing inside the starship, heading towards that storm.
When they appeared in the area above the storm, the terrifying suction force instantly swallowed them, pulling them into the storm and disappearing from sight.
The Lin Clan led the way, and then the armies of various forces marched forward, heading towards the storm and being sucked inside.
The O'Brian Republic took caution, as it was their first time coming to the Empire Trial Field. After the major forces entered one after another, they too headed in that direction.
The grand army flew through space like a cosmic army, fully armed.
Xu Mo piloted a sharp and fierce Black Mecha, pulling Zero along as they moved forward, following the main force toward the storm. When they entered the storm zone, the terrifying suction instantly pulled them into the storm, and in the next moment, Xu Mo felt himself falling rapidly.
A while later, when all the teams were inside, the silent space was filled with suspended starships. In the silent, dark universe, the starships exuded a chilling aura, with still many people inside. They looked through the starships toward the storm center, only to see the storm main ship dissipate, the light disappearing, and the Empire Trial Field closing.
The absolute Transcendents from top forces entered the Empire Trial Field simultaneously. No one could interfere with the events inside, and they wouldn't know what would happen over the next three years until people emerged from it, and only then could they learn some details from those who came out.
In the Empire Trial Field, all electromagnetic signals are blocked.
Moreover, if one's energy level reaches the Skywalker level, they will be eliminated by the Empire Trial Field immediately.
Thus, Transcendents entering the Empire Trial Field must remember one principle—even if they are about to break through to the Skywalker Realm inside, they must hold back; otherwise, they will be slaughtered by the Empire Trial Field.
The entire planet is wrapped by a giant mechanical body.
When Xu Mo felt that the suction had disappeared, his body was still falling. However, it was no longer in space but on the planet; he could already see the ground.
In the sky, there were actually Monsters flapping their gigantic wings.
At that moment, a Monster swooped down toward them.
Xu Mo gazed out, on the desolate planet, there were Monsters everywhere.
