Chapter 1465: Chapter 1467: Chaotic Aura Chapter 1465: Chapter 1467: Chaotic Aura Song Jian followed Xin Ling as they both walked outside. Xuan Tian Sect and several large nearby sects were enveloped in a transparent barrier, spanning roughly a dozen kilometers or so. To enter the Starry Sky Battlefield, they needed to step outside this barrier.
The barrier also served as a defensive formation. Once inside, it was essentially like being in a safe zone, protecting the members of the Human Race who entered the Starry Sky Battlefield. The other species had similar defensive measures in place, ensuring that all clashes had to occur on the Starry Sky Battlefield and could not affect the defensive areas of the various species.
Of course, this situation only occurred in the early stages of the Starry Sky Battlefield. Throughout its history spanning more than a hundred thousand years, no species in the early stages was strong enough to annihilate the others. However, as time went on, the Human Race grew at an incredibly rapid pace, ultimately subjugating all the Starry Sky All Races. Thousands of xenogeneic entities were entirely exterminated, and the remnants of other species quivered before the dominion of the Human Race, which eventually established its supremacy.
All of this did not matter much to trial participants like Song Jian; with their current strength, they could only blend in during the early stages. In the later stages, people with their level of power wouldn't dare to step outside the defensive perimeter. Those who fought outside were at least of Legendary Realm, and even the aftermath of a single battle could eliminate anyone under that level.
The moment he stepped out of the defensive barrier, Song Jian's mind was suddenly hit by a powerful impact. Scenes of combat flashed before his eyes–mighty beings slaughtering each other, blood splattering, limbs flying in the void, explosions sounding incessantly, and the Power of Rules altering the landscape, leaving many powerful fighters bloodstained on the Starry Sky Battlefield.
In these combat visions, there were fights between the Human Race and other species, and also conflicts among xenogeneic entities. As battles raged on, the environment of the entire Starry Sky Battlefield changed rapidly, becoming wholly ravaged.
Assaulted by such chaotic information, Song Jian couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, clutching his head with a pained expression on his face. Xin Ling glanced at Song Jian with a hint of surprise on her face, “Senior Brother, it's your first time entering the Starry Sky Battlefield, it's inevitable you'll be affected by these chaotic energies. But you'll adapt after a while.”
“Senior Brother, you have the strongest resistance to the impact I've seen. The other disciples, when they first stepped into the Starry Sky Battlefield, were injured by the assault of these chaotic energies. Some even fainted on the spot and rested for a month or two before daring to re-enter the battlefield…”
Song Jian's forehead throbbed with prominent veins as his mind was in disarray, bombarded with chaotic battle scenes that took a long time to gradually subside.
Song Jian exhaled a turbid breath, the environment around him was filled with a violent and grim atmosphere. These chaotic energies would continue to assault the minds of the newcomers, and the weaker ones would pay a heavy price just resisting this influx. Their power would be significantly reduced.
What's worse, those who stayed too long on the Starry Sky Battlefield could be influenced by these energies to become bloodthirsty and furious, eventually losing themselves and becoming monsters driven by a primal instinct to kill.
However, for those looking to strengthen their willpower and mental fortitude, such chaotic energies could be beneficial. Those with strong mental attributes would be tempered here, turning their Mental Strength and willpower purer and more resilient.
Song Jian took steps forward, each one excruciating, as if walking on knife edges. Xin Ling, seeing his suffering, wanted to stop him, but her lips moved slightly, and she seemed to think of something, instead choosing to silently follow beside Song Jian.
One step, two steps, three steps…
Although constantly bombarded by these chaotic energies, Song Jian's mind was assaulted with many useless pieces of information, some beneficial ones could still be extracted.
For instance, Song Jian discerned from the jumbled intel that the Starry Sky Battlefield was not only a place for battles between races but more so, it revolved around the relics left behind. These fights were all centered around competing for these relics, leading to discoveries, conflicts, and the acquisition of tremendous benefits!
Some relics were left by powerful beings who had entered the Starry Sky Battlefield, while others dated back to ancient or even primeval times. Discovering such a relic could propel one to the heavens, elevating them from Legendary Level straight into Demi-God or even God Level!
However, such relics were exceedingly rare, as uncommon as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Most relics were those left behind by powerful entities upon entering the battlefield; when they were wounded or on the brink of death, unwilling for their lifelong learnings to be buried with them, they would leave behind their techniques and some items for those destined to find them.
Xin Ling watched as Song Jian steadily took steps forward, his body swaying initially as though he might collapse any moment, but as time passed, Song Jian's stride grew more stable, seemingly able to withstand the onslaught of chaotic thoughts and consciousness.
Ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps…
By the fiftieth step, clarity had returned to Song Jian's eyes, and his footsteps became firm and light.
System: You have withstood the chaotic aura of the Starry Sky Battlefield, Willpower attribute increased by 1 point;
System: You have withstood the chaotic aura of the Starry Sky Battlefield, Mental Strength attribute increased by 2 points;
System: You have withstood the chaotic aura of the Starry Sky Battlefield and extracted vital information, obtaining the location of a Legendary-level ruin;
System: You have withstood the chaotic aura of the Starry Sky Battlefield, Mental Strength attribute increased by 1 point;
…
Song Jian had no energy to check these system notifications before, but after withstanding the chaotic aura, he opened the system interface and began to examine each message.
Willpower, a secondary attribute, is difficult to enhance, yet it increased by six points, while the Mental Strength attribute increased by fifteen points, equivalent to the reward for a C-level combat power assessment, and also equivalent to fifteen Attribute Fruits, each worth at least one million Doomsday Coins.
In the scarcity of Purple Crystals, many items serve as forms of currency, with Attribute Fruits being one of the most resilient options available.
As for the increase in secondary attributes, it is more than ten times harder than enhancing primary attributes, and if a treasure is found that can increase secondary attributes even by just one point, it often sells for an exorbitant price.
However, more exciting to Song Jian than the rise in attribute points was the discovery of three ruin locations, two of which were from Legendary Realm powerhouses, and another from a Demi-God Level powerhouse.
The scenes of their discovery were almost instantaneous flashes; it seemed someone had already found the ruins ahead of him and battles had ensued. It was uncertain what, if anything, could be left for Song Jian — perhaps just an empty ruin that had been thoroughly searched.
“Song Jian, have you, have you completely adapted?” Xin Ling asked with an expression full of admiration. The impact of this chaotic information was sometimes like millions of flies buzzing incessantly in one's ears, and other times like a red-hot poker thrusting furiously into one's brain. It was difficult for most people to adapt on their first encounter, often requiring a dozen days or even a month to gradually acclimate.
“It's alright, the impact of this chaotic aura on me has already become quite insignificant.” Song Jian said with a smile, a star-like brilliance flickering in his eyes.
