The Tianyuan Battlefield is a place where demonic energy surges and eerie mists permeate the air. The quiet and sinister atmosphere is filled with all sorts of unpredictable dangers.

Compared to the other three arenas, the Tianyuan Battlefield is undoubtedly the most bizarre. Unlike the spatial turbulence of the Outer Domain Battlefield, the various ancient killing intents of the Ancient Battlefield, or the heavenly lightning of the Thunder Battlefield, the danger here is not out in the open, making it impossible for people to take precautions.

Instead, it lies hidden in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike, like a venomous snake lurking in the dark, ready to pounce at any moment and deliver a fatal blow.

Of course, as the most mysterious place in the Seven Absolutes Tower, and modeled after the Tianyuan, the number one forbidden land on the continent, the Tianyuan Battlefield has already been thoroughly studied by predecessors.

The dangers here are mainly divided into three categories: the curses of witchcraft, the soul-devouring of ghosts, and the inner demons of demonic forces.

Curses inflict various negative statuses, Soul Devourer devours the soul of the trial participant, and Inner Demons are even more unpredictable, capable of subtly influencing the trial participant's state of mind and causing them to sink into despair. This is extremely dangerous, whether in battle or when facing the devouring of Soul Devourer.

However, these dangers were completely ineffective against Chi Yuan, whose spiritual strength was sufficient to make him immune to any attack in this place.

Moreover, Chi Yuan can also comprehend and utilize the various techniques of this place to fight his enemies.

At this moment, through the deconstruction of the array secret and the comprehension of the ninth level of the Spirit Venerable, Chi Yuan has already gained a preliminary grasp of the Tianyuan Battlefield.

That's right, it's about mastering.

Whether it's a curse, a soul devourer, or a demon in one's heart, they are all essentially created by the restrictions on the Tianyuan Battlefield, and these restrictions fall within the scope of the Array Secret.

To put it simply, the Tianyuan Battlefield is composed of countless restrictions. These restrictions are spread throughout the entire battlefield. Once triggered, they will trigger corresponding attacks. Chi Yuan only needs to break through and control these restrictions to master them and make them his means of fighting against enemies.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, break!"

Yan Li raised his right arm high above his head, palm facing the sky, holding a giant black iron sword interwoven with divine light. Then he suddenly swung it down, and the giant black iron sword suddenly roared out, splitting the heavens and earth with a cleaving strike on the array plate's protective shield.

Click!

The array shield, already strained, shattered instantly under the fierce attack. Chi Yuan, trapped beneath the shield, was powerless to resist and was reduced to a bloody mist by the terrifying impact of the Xuan Tian Giant Sword.

"What...what's going on?"

Yan Li was dumbfounded. Chi Yuan was able to set up such a powerful formation as the Spirit Devouring Revolving Array, so his actual combat strength should not be weaker than his. Moreover, Chi Yuan had the confidence to seize the position of the champion, so he must have enough strength. How could he be so vulnerable under the sword?

Could it be that setting up the Soul Devouring Revolving Array exhausted Chi Yuan's spiritual power, leaving him powerless to resist?

Wait, something's not right!

Yan Li was startled and instantly realized that something was wrong. The array plate was the foundation of the array. Logically, since he had destroyed the array plate, the Soul Devouring Revolving Array should have failed. However, his spiritual power was still leaking away, which meant that the Soul Devouring Revolving Array had not failed.

"Oh no, I've been caught in the mind-demon illusion."

Yan Li quickly discovered the problem, and at that moment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly struck him. He decisively bit his tongue, and the scene before him instantly returned to reality.

In the instant his mind cleared, dozens of sword energies from the Six Meridians Divine Sword shot towards him. His hair went numb, and he hastily summoned a scroll-shaped spiritual artifact to block the sword energies. He then retreated dozens of feet, took out a giant black iron sword, and suspended it at the top, assuming a defensive stance.

Yan Li stared warily at Chi Yuan, who was unharmed in the array plate, and a suspicion arose in his heart. He had been affected by the demonic inner demons of the Tianyuan Battlefield before, but the effect was far less intense than this. Could this be Chi Yuan's method?

Just then, a strange power descended, and Yan Li felt as if he had been hit by a dull thud. His brain was buzzing, and his cultivation level dropped to the late stage of the eighth level of the Spirit Sect under the influence of this strange power.

A curse from a sorcerer's spirit possession ritual!

Yan Li's pupils contracted. Could he be that unlucky? He had just been trapped in the Mind Demon Illusion and now he was also subjected to the Spirit Summoning Technique?

Yan Li's shock had only just begun. He was then treated like a lab rat in Chi Yuan's experiments, with one restriction after another being applied to him: the Fear of Injury Curse, the Peach Blossom Slaughter Technique, the Soul Devouring Curse, the Vengeful Heart Demon, the Heart Demon of Heartbreak…

"You brat, do you dare to come out and fight me fair and square!"

Yan Li shouted angrily, but inwardly he was in despair. Just resisting the various restrictions had already consumed most of his spiritual power. If this continued, even without Chi Yuan's intervention, the Soul Devouring Revolving Array would wear him down to death.

It's unclear how Chi Yuan managed to control various spells and inner demons in the Tianyuan Battlefield. Who could possibly defeat him? Wouldn't that put him in an invincible position?

Chi Yuan would certainly not be provoked into going out to fight Yan Li head-on. Not to mention that he needed to conserve his spiritual energy, he had not yet fully mastered the restrictions of the Tianyuan Battlefield. These techniques could not only be used now, but also later when he learned them, and they would be a great weapon against enemies.

Imagine if you could inflict a bunch of negative status effects on your opponent with a single move, directly weakening their strength by several percent. Wouldn't that be equivalent to increasing your own combat power?

"Elder Yan, there are no rules in martial arts competitions that require weapons to be drawn and face each other head-on. If you can't hold on, it would be better to admit defeat as soon as possible."

Chi Yuan's calm and unwavering voice rang out, and he cast two more spells on Yan Li: the Soul-Losing Spell and the Soul-Stealing Spell.

It wasn't that he was afraid to fight head-on; it was just that the restrictions on the Tianyuan Battlefield were too useful. They were like a field-type restriction magic weapon. Not only did they not require him to provide spiritual power to maintain their operation, but they could also be activated and controlled with very little spiritual power. Moreover, he could use whichever restriction he wanted without having to cast it himself.

With such a huge advantage, why wouldn't he use it?

Elder Yan felt dizzy and disoriented. After finally recovering to normal, he had lost 20% of his spiritual power.

He knew he had already lost; if Chi Yuan attacked while he was in a negative state, he would be powerless to resist.

But he was still unwilling to admit defeat in such a frustrating way. He should at least be allowed to make a proper move, since so many people were watching!

"Yay! Take this sword!"

Yan Li let out a strange cry, urging the Xuan Tie giant sword to a length of several tens of feet, pouring all the remaining spiritual power into it. Instantly, the Xuan Tie giant sword burst forth with a soaring divine light, and slashed down heavily towards the array plate's protective shield with overwhelming force.

Boom!

Like a giant hammer smashing into a tortoise shell, the array plate's protective shield held for a moment before shattering. Upon seeing this, Chi Yuan immediately raised his palm and caught the Xuan Tie giant sword from a distance.

Um?

Yan Li didn't expect that this sword could break through the tortoise shell. With his current combat strength of just the early stage of the eighth level of the Spirit Sect, he shouldn't be able to break through it. Could it be that Chi Yuan deliberately reduced the defensive power of the array plate to save face for him?

"Elder Yan, your swordsmanship is excellent. I have been impressed. Would Elder Yan like to fight again?"

Chi Yuanqing spoke clearly.

"Cough cough... No need to fight anymore, I concede defeat."

Having barely managed to save face, Elder Yan was unwilling to continue fighting. He immediately sheathed his Xuan Iron Greatsword, and once Chi Yuan opened an opening in the array barrier, he hurriedly flew away from this awful place.
