"God Emperor?"

Jiang Yuan was surprised not only by Commander Shatu speaking, but also by the mention of the Goddess Empress.

"This is the dojo of the Lord of War, and you, the descendants of the Divine Empress, are not welcome here!" Commander Shatu spoke in human language once again.

“Isn’t this supposed to be the site of Xu Fu’s tomb?” Jiang Yuan stated his previous theory.

"Xu Fu!" Commander Shatu circled Jiang Yuan twice, then said thoughtfully, "You mean Lord Xu!"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

"This is the tomb of the Lord of War, not the site of Xu Fu. Xu Fu was merely the fourth tomb keeper appointed by the Lord of War!" Commander Shatu's eyes were full of disdain, seemingly disgusted by Jiang Yuan's identity.

"The Tomb of the Lord of War!" Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment before continuing, "You mean the Lord of War died and was buried here? And Xu Fu was merely the tomb keeper!"

"How dare you! Lord Bingzhu's status is extraordinary, how dare you, a mere child, criticize him! Moreover, Lord Bingzhu's methods are extraordinary. He has only temporarily left us in some way. One day, Lord Bingzhu will surely return to this world with unparalleled glory!" Commander Shatu was furious and harbored great hatred for Jiang Yuan's words.

"It seems you know quite a bit!" Jiang Yuan waited with great interest for Commander Shatu to continue. His intuition told him that this strange beast, who had suddenly spoken, knew some little-known secrets.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not continue speaking as Jiang Yuan had imagined. Instead, his beastly face gradually became ferocious. "The Lord of War once instructed that, apart from the Jiuli tribe, all living beings that trespass into the Lord of War's tomb must be killed! So, you shall go to hell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sandstorm swept in, and Commander Shatu killed him without saying a word.

"Since there's nothing to say, then you have no value in living!" Jiang Yuan was also filled with killing intent. The man and the beast were completely at odds, and a battle was about to break out.

As the sandstorm raged, Jiang Yuan lost most of the moisture in his body, but upon realizing this, he immediately locked his physical shackles. After unifying the three shackles, he began to completely overwhelm the Sandtu leader in conjunction with the divine battle.

The spear struck the Sandtu leader's body time and again, but the beast's enormous size made it ignore the many wounds on its body, and the Mad Sand Prison gradually revealed its terrifying nature.

A series of binding forces were applied to Jiang Yuan, as if to bury him completely under layers of sand.

"The last ten seconds!"

Jiang Yuan kept calculating the time. After reaching the minor completion stage, the duration of the divine battle had been extended to two minutes. Although it was still not enough, it was much better than before.

"Quick-draw technique!"

Jiang Yuan unleashed the Four Seasons Spear Technique, each shot possessing ten times the power of a stealthy assassination. This was his decisive moment!

The first shot fired, but Shatu didn't react at all!

The same thing happened with the second shot!

However, as the number of guns increased, Shatu gradually showed signs of being overwhelmed.

"A hundredfold stealth kill!"

On the fortieth shot, Jiang Yuan unleashed a hidden attack with a hundredfold power, and this deceptive tactic severely wounded Commander Shatu. The hidden attack pierced through most of its body, and if it weren't for Kuang Shayu's last-minute intervention, Commander Shatu would have been dead.

"Sand Collapse!" Commander Shatu's entire body turned into sand, and it was about to merge with the Mad Sand Prison.

However, Jiang Yuan's luck returned to zero at the last moment, and at that moment, a beautiful voice entered his mind.

"Trial activated!"

The Sand King's expression froze the moment the trial was activated, and his fusion with the Mad Sand Prison also came to an abrupt halt. If one word were to describe it, it would undoubtedly be "sand sculpture."

"You, the descendant of the Divine Queen, have no martial virtue!" Commander Shatu glared angrily, but his last burst of anger vanished with the wind and sand, just like his life.

"I'm sorry, I never said I was a descendant of the Divine Empress!" Jiang Yuan said calmly. In a life-or-death battle, there was no such thing as martial ethics. Besides, luck is also a kind of strength.

The Shatu leader vanished with the wind, but thanks to the Balance Messenger, it contributed a portion of mithril-level divine blood power to Jiang Yuan, making the most of its resources.

The Sandstorm Prison did not dissipate with the death of Commander Shatu. On the contrary, the death of Commander Shatu intensified the rage of the Sandstorm Prison. Endless heavy sand forces pounded against Jiang Yuan's body, and even his ninth-tier robe could not withstand such a powerful spiritual energy impact.

This is a physical baptism. The first three shackles of ancient martial arts are a difficult path of washing away the impurities and breaking free from the cocoon to become a butterfly. If you want to go further, you have to endure more suffering.

The sandstorm lashed against his body, and the powerful spiritual energy penetrated his pores, seeped into his flesh and blood, and even eroded his bones. Every second he endured the sandstorm, Jiang Yuan felt immense pain. But correspondingly, there were also great benefits!

The flesh and bones that had stabilized within his body were gradually reorganizing, an evolution that was incomparable to normal metabolism. Each reorganization of flesh and bones was subtly changing the essence of his physical body.

Only when the power of the Sandstorm Prison and the body's regenerative abilities reached a balance did Jiang Yuan have time to think.

"The Judgment was triggered when my Luck Points reached zero. Was this a coincidence or inevitable?"

Jiang Yuan began to ponder this question. The origin of the lucky dice was mysterious, and the intelligence of the Heavenly Eye also gave the lucky dice a high evaluation, but the Heavenly Eye knew very little about its true uses, so he still needed to explore the other functions of the lucky dice himself.

"According to the rule that rolling the highest point of the lucky die grants a wish, the lucky die possesses the highest luck power at the moment of the result, and then it resets the luck points to zero! And just now, at the moment the luck points reset to zero, my luck value happened to be at its highest. Is this a case of extremes meeting, causing me to also possess terrifying luck power at the moment it resets to zero?" Jiang Yuan wondered, but he couldn't be sure if the lucky die was as he thought.

"Looks like I'll have to try a few more times!" Jiang Yuan spread his hands, but the sandstorm had completely covered the lucky dice, so rolling a number here wasn't a wise choice.

The Sandstorm had not yet dissipated, but he was not in a hurry. He simply focused on refining his physical body.

This encounter involved a total of thirteen ordinary ninth-tier sand beasts and one ninth-tier lord-level sand beast. These fourteen ancient beasts provided Jiang Yuan with nine streams of divine blood power, eight of which were of the black iron level and one of the mithril level.

"The power of divine blood!" Jiang Yuan discovered these nine streams of divine blood power in his dantian.

Divine Blood Power is different from the Core. It cannot be retrieved or traded. When you kill a monster and obtain Divine Blood Power, it will automatically be fed back into your physical body. This is a gift from the rules. You can only use it or lose it after being killed. There is no option to transfer it.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "It seems the Battlefield of Godfall is indeed extraordinary!"

This most direct way to become stronger is the most effective form of guidance. The desire to become stronger will only stimulate everyone on the battlefield to kill each other. It is a vast breeding ground for venomous creatures, cruel but effective.

"Let's try it out with a black iron-level one first!"
