Chapter 158 Chaotic Battlefield

Lufan was also somewhat surprised as he looked at the results he had caused. He didn't expect the power of the spell he cast to reach above the ninth level of the Earth-soul realm.
In that case, he must already have considerable combat power in the Earth Soul Realm. Perhaps he is already invincible in the entire Earth Soul Realm. After all, it is not easy to break the testing stone of the Earth Soul level.
Many strong experts at the ninth level of the Earth Soul Realm cannot achieve this level, let alone those cultivators who have not reached the ninth level of the Earth Soul Realm.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Fan said to Liu Han, "Go get a testing stone for the Heaven Soul Realm, I want to test my current strength and see where I stand."
Now, what Lu Fan said is equivalent to a decree throughout the entire Flame Domain. After Lu Fan issued the order, Liu Han naturally dared not disobey. He immediately led his men to retrieve the testing stone for the Heavenly Soul Realm. They still had this kind of stone, but only one piece because they had no use for it. However, it was still worth keeping one or two pieces as backup, as testing stones were not precious.
Soon, Liu Han and a few others carried a huge stone to the front of everyone. As for why they carried it, although this kind of stone was not valuable and could not be used to melt any equipment or do anything useful, it could only be used for testing. However, its hardness and density were both very high, even a Spiritual Realm cultivator would find it difficult to lift it easily. Only a Spirit Body realm cultivator could easily pick it up, but Spirit Body realm cultivators were all sect leaders and it was impossible for them to personally take action. Of course, they would command their subordinates to carry this thing over.
After the stone was taken out, everyone's eyes became somewhat expectant. They looked at Lu Fan, wanting to know if with his current strength, he could also crack this piece of stone. As for directly shattering the entire stone, they simply could not believe it. After all, Lu Fan's strength was only at the ninth level of the Spiritual Body Realm. It was a bit impossible to shatter a test stone for the Tianhun Sword directly. Of course, they did not think that Lu Fan's strength was weak, but rather, crossing two major realms to shatter this testing stone was simply too unbelievable. They wouldn't believe it at all.
Aside from these people's expectations, in fact, Lu Fan himself is also very much looking forward to it. Currently, his own strength is still an unknown quantity, and if he wants to understand it, he can only use his magic to attack this stone. However, the highest level of magic he currently masters is only a yellow top-grade magic.
Like martial arts, magic spells also have levels. If the level of a spell is too low, it can only contain a small amount of spiritual energy, resulting in less power.
For example, the spiritual energy in Lu Fan's body is very abundant, but the Fire Dragon Tree can only infuse 1% of the spiritual energy, so the power will naturally be only 1% of his full strength. If there is a high-level calligraphy that can contain all of Lu Fan's spiritual energy, then the power will naturally be greater. Another point is that spiritual energy also has quality. For example, if two groups of 10 spiritual energy have different levels, such as 10 points of spiritual energy in the Heavenly Soul Realm and 10 points of spiritual energy in the Earthly Soul Realm, if they use the same technique, the 10 points of spiritual energy in the Heavenly Soul Realm will definitely have more power. This is beyond doubt, so even if it is a Earth-level technique, the power will become greater in the hands of advanced cultivators.
However, it's impossible to completely leave the fire domain. The highest level of magic in the domain is only a yellow-grade top-quality or rather a yellow-grade pinnacle. The yellow grade pinnacle was only acquired by Lu Fan after evolution. Prior to evolution, it was only a yellow-grade top-quality magic.
After waiting for a little while, Lu Fan raised his hand again and released a fire dragon tree. The fire dragon flew straight down to the testing stone for the Heaven Soul Realm placed below, and was heavily hit by the fire dragon tree.
This blow was fiercely struck on the testing stone, and soon cracks appeared on the surface, one, two, three, four, five...
After testing the Tianhuan area, there were 5 cracks before it stopped. This proves that Lu Fan's spell power has reached the fifth level of the Tianhuan area. This result surprised everyone present. They had not expected Lu Fan's strength to surpass that of the Earth Soul realm, let alone reach the fifth level of the Tianhuan realm. This is a terrifying number. It should be noted that Lu Fan is currently only a nine-level spiritual body cultivator, crossing 15 small realms. How can it not surprise everyone?
Although everyone was shocked, it was undoubtedly a good thing for them because now they were tied to Lu Fan. Although they were not willing, their lives were completely in Lu Fan's hands. They would either rise or fall with him. Until they had enough power to break the curse inside them, if Lu Fan died, they would also suffer. So they would rather have Lu Fan's strength increase, as they had already lost hope and felt they could never escape from his control. In that case, it was better to be a obedient dog and at least have a chance to survive, on the condition that Lu Fan could not be killed.
Moreover, from the current situation, Lu Fan did not pressure them too much, he just asked them to follow orders, which is something they can accept. So, there wasn't much resistance from them, only a little bit of unwillingness at the beginning. But now, after three months, they have already adapted to their current life. Isn't it just a matter of being a bit obedient? What's so difficult about it?
After testing his own strength, Lu Fan was also satisfied and then spoke of his plan.
"I plan to go to the chaotic battlefield, you guys can stay in the Flame Prison, no need to accompany me. After all, your strength is too weak. If you come with me, I may not be able to protect you."
Lufan's words shocked everyone as soon as he spoke. They didn't expect him to choose such a dangerous place to go. Zhang Jie and the others were unhappy, after all, Lufan's life was connected to theirs.
"Do we really need to take such a risk as adults? We are already the masters of the Flame Domain, why take further risks?"
"Yeah, what if something goes wrong?"
All the high-level officials are advising Landvan not to go to such a dangerous place. They are only concerned about their own lives. If Landvan had not cursed them, they would have ignored him and even wished him dead. But now the situation is different.
Lufan had already made up his mind, so he wouldn't be influenced by their words. He said, "My strength has reached a bottleneck in the Spiritual Body realm. If I want to break through, I must obtain the geomancy. But there is no geomancy in the entire Lihuo region, and I have no way of finding it. Under these circumstances, I can only go to the Chaotic Battlefield to obtain it. No other method will work. So I must go to the Chaotic Battlefield. As for your concerns, you can rest assured that if I am really going to die, I will lift the curse in advance."
Upon hearing Lan Fan's words, everyone was surprised because he had guessed their thoughts, but they were also satisfied with his decision. Since Lan Fan had decided to go and lift the curse just before their death in the life-and-death corridor, it didn't matter. They wouldn't mind if he encountered danger as long as he lifted the curse and restored them to their former status as small gang leaders.
However, just as everyone was secretly delighted, Liu Han spoke a sentence that made everyone stare at him.
"Sir, there is really no need for you to go to such a dangerous place. If you need an earth pulse, we can actually go to the Heavenly Temple, which rules over us, to exchange for one, but the price is very high."
Lufan did not know about the news of furrowed eyebrows, and now that Liuhan can say it, it seems that he is really considering it for him. Therefore, he said: "Do you know what kind of price we need to pay? Can our current financial resources exchange for a meridian?"
Liu Han, ignoring the looks of everyone present that could kill him, said frankly: "If it can be turned into spirit stones, it would probably require 10,000 high-grade spirit stones to exchange for a vein. With our current financial strength, it seems to be about the same."
Lufan thought for a moment and said, "10,000 high-quality spirit stones for one earth vein is quite a high price. Also, if I want to break through my current realm, one earth vein may not be enough. Furthermore, in the future, I will inevitably need earth veins as cultivation resources in the earth environment. So, this path is not viable for me. However, I understand your good intentions, Liu Han. How about this? You will take charge of the whole realm while I am away. "
Liu Han was overjoyed and then he realized that for someone like Lu Fan, the Flame Domain was only the beginning, so he did not try to persuade him any further: "In that case, I wish you a prosperous journey, my Lord."
Lufan just nodded, and then gave orders to everyone present to obey Liu Han's orders. If they disobeyed Liu Han's orders, the curse in their bodies would be triggered, making them unable to beg for death and causing them to suffer for a whole day before it subsided. With this order in place, no one present dared to disobey Liu Han's words, even if it was true. If someone dared to disobey, it would depend on whether their bones were tough enough.
After arranging the entire Flow Fire Territory, Lu Fan was ready to leave here and go to the chaotic battlefield. The distance from outside the battlefield to the Fire Territory was still quite far, and even with the current speed, full-speed flight would still take about three days to reach the chaotic battlefield. And after entering it, he still needs to explore and find the earth veins himself in order to have gains. Otherwise, these earth veins will not come to him on their own.
At this time period, the chaotic battlefield has been explored for many, many years. It is impossible to find good cultivation resources at least in the outer regions. If Lu Fan wants to obtain better cultivation resources, he can only go deep into the chaotic battlefield. However, the degree of danger will greatly increase. Fortunately, his strength is extremely strong now. It is just that he lacks powerful techniques, so he cannot fully exert his strength. With only the Fire Dragon Technique, he can have the strength equivalent to the fifth level of the Heavenly Soul Realm. The fifth level of the Heavenly Soul Realm is considered an unbeatable strong even in the 108 Domains, and even in the Heavenly Net Palace.
Therefore, even if he goes to explore dangerous and chaotic battlefields, as long as Lu Fan does not enter the core area, the periphery is not a big threat to him. Even loyal Cheng cannot pose a fatal threat to him. As long as he is agile enough to escape quickly if he really cannot beat them, there will be no danger to his life.
Lufan was flying towards the direction of the chaotic battlefield, while also quickly learning the different movements and postures necessary for navigating through the chaos. He couldn't afford to blindly fly around once entering the chaotic battlefield, as finding resources was crucial. However, even more importantly, he had to avoid encountering any terrifying deaths that may exist within the battlefield.
After cramming some knowledge about chaotic battlefields, Lu Fan quickly learned some key things, such as the fact that what posed the biggest threat in such battlefields were anomalies. However, if anomalies appeared, it also meant that resources were nearby, because anomalies often attach themselves to resources.
If there are no resources, the eerie beings are not humans but energy organisms. In order to survive, they must have sufficient energy in their bodies, and they also need to cultivate in order to become powerful.
Although weird creatures are born in a strange way, they are also able to absorb the power of the heaven and earth to improve their own cultivation, so there is nothing particularly strange about this.
After understanding the situation inside, Lu Fan had an idea about his next actions - finding the place where the anomalies were located. As long as he could find the anomalies, he could also find the cultivation resources he needed. However, he couldn't go directly to the depths or provoke powerful anomalies. He needed to familiarize himself with the power of the anomalies first, and then consider what level of anomalies he could handle on his own.
After clearly understanding his own strength, he was able to act freely and with discretion.
With this in mind, Lu Fan directly rushed into the chaotic battlefield without lingering too much on the periphery, because the periphery was not his target. Although there may be some cultivation resources on the periphery, it is only a small amount and he needs a large quantity. The cultivation resources on the periphery are not very helpful to him. His goal now is to enter the middle layer where there will be more cultivation resources, they will be easier to find, and there will be less threat to him.
Of course, when flying on the periphery, if encountering something strange, he will try to take action to probe. He needs to know the strength and attack methods of the strange phenomenon. Although he has some understanding from the information, it is only what he has learned from the data, not what he has seen with his own eyes.
However, he was somewhat unrealistic after all. After being cleared out many times on the outskirts, it was not easy for him to encounter anything strange. Therefore, when he flew out of the outer area, he did not encounter any anomalies. To meet an anomaly, he had to enter the middle range.
However, Lu Fan underestimated the situation. Even though he had flown a long distance into the middle region, he still hadn't encountered any anomalies. He couldn't help but remember the reports of anomalous nighttime activities in the area; it seemed he would have to wait until nightfall to have a better chance of encountering them.
