Shen Gongbao glanced at Qin Ze, a hint of amusement in his smile, then shook his head: "Don't ask so many questions. I need the Investiture of the Gods, and you need to improve your strength. That's the condition for the exchange."
Qin Ze frowned, lost in thought. Improving his strength was crucial for him, especially in the face of the impending confrontation with the will of Heaven. However, he couldn't help but consider the consequences of this condition. The power and significance of the Investiture of the Gods were so profound, why did Shen Gongbao need it so urgently?
After much deliberation, Qin Ze gritted his teeth and decided to grant Shen Gongbao's request. He understood that the current situation forced him to strengthen his power by any means necessary in order to have a greater chance of victory.
Shen Gongbao smiled with satisfaction, as if she had anticipated Qin Ze's decision.
She then took out her dust and opened a passage.
Without hesitation, she took out a crystal-clear token, which emitted a faint, mysterious light.
Shen Gongbao handed the token to Qin Ze and said softly, "This is the passage to the battlefield of gods and demons. When you want to leave, simply crush the token to return to the real world."
As Qin Ze stepped into the passage, a strong sense of spatial distortion enveloped him.
As Qin Ze stepped into the passage, a strong tremor spread throughout his body. When he regained his footing, he found himself in a world completely different from the one before—the battlefield of gods and demons.
A thick gloom hung over this battlefield, the sky shrouded in a layer of gray mist, seemingly forever obscuring the sun. A desolate and gloomy scene unfolded before the eyes, with shattered mountains and broken land everywhere, exuding an atmosphere of deathly stillness.
The ground of the battlefield between gods and demons was littered with countless corpses of gods and demons, their massive bodies exuding a strong stench of blood. Some of these corpses had already decomposed, leaving only remains, while others still retained some shape, but without exception, they were all bathed in a mixture of blood and mud. Broken weapons and shattered armor were scattered all over the ground, all bearing witness to the fierce battle that had taken place.
On this desolate battlefield, there was no life, only silence. The wind howled, like the mournful cries of countless vengeful spirits. The distant mountains, shrouded in thick fog, appeared even more sinister and terrifying.
Standing in the battlefield of gods and demons, Qin Ze felt a sense of oppression and fear. The place was filled with the aura of death; countless lives had perished here, and countless gods and demons had fought.
Qin Ze took a deep breath and steadily stepped onto the desolate land of the battlefield between gods and demons. His eyes warily scanned his surroundings, sensing the changes in the surrounding atmosphere. Suddenly, a strange sound came from the ground, a loud crackling sound echoing in his ears.
His attention immediately focused, his gaze fixed on the direction from which the sound came. With the sound, a golden skeleton crawled out of the ground, its entire body radiating a dazzling golden light, clearly an extraordinary being. What surprised Qin Ze even more was that this skeleton actually possessed the strength of the early stage of the Breakthrough Realm.
"A skeleton actually possesses the strength to break through to a higher realm! What kind of hellish place is this?!"
Before it could even be surprised, sensing Qin Ze's presence, the golden skeleton let out a low growl, its eyes flashing with cunning. It then transformed into a golden beam of light and charged swiftly towards Qin Ze. Qin Ze dared not be careless. With a thought, the power of reincarnation surged forth.
The golden skeleton approached swiftly, its movements as fast as lightning, its steps agile and nimble, seemingly leaping in front of Qin Ze in an instant. Its attacks were like a sudden storm, each movement imbued with terrifying power, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
Qin Ze sensed the golden skeleton's fierce attack and swung his fist without hesitation, unleashing a surge of energy. The immense power collided with the golden skeleton's attack, producing a deafening roar, like thunder colliding in the air, generating a shockwave that could not be ignored.
The two forces intertwined in the air, causing ripples that seemed to tremble the very fabric of space. Qin Ze's figure flashed nimbly during the battle, transforming into a flowing image that brushed past the golden skull's attacks while simultaneously launching a counterattack. His punches and kicks were imbued with the aura of reincarnation, each punch and kick radiating unparalleled power.
The golden skeleton was not to be outdone. It transformed into a golden lightning bolt, its body flashing swiftly to evade Qin Ze's attack. Then it launched another ferocious charge, its speed so fast it was almost impossible to predict.
Seeing that it couldn't subdue Qin Ze quickly, the golden skeleton's anger began to surge in its golden eyes. Its skeleton began to tremble, and with a soft crack, it broke off one of its ribs. The rib emitted a dazzling golden light, condensing into a golden longsword.
The golden skull gripped its golden longsword tightly, its rage instantly transforming into sword energy that filled its surroundings. No longer maintaining its distance, it roared and transformed into a golden lightning bolt, slashing towards Qin Ze. The sword energy tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, as if it would shred everything in its path.
Qin Ze sensed the golden skull's increasingly fierce attacks and dared not be careless, immediately drawing his Heavenly Question Sword.
The sword released a powerful sword aura, and the runes on the sword shone with a dark blue light.
His gaze was resolute, and his whole body exuded a dignified aura as he met the attack of the golden longsword without showing any weakness.
The two enormous forces collided, instantly triggering a terrible explosion. The shockwave swept outwards, causing the surrounding environment to collapse, with dirt and rocks flying everywhere and shattering.
Sensing the power of the golden skull, Qin Ze decided to hold back no longer. He resolutely unleashed the power of the Emperor's Way and the Way of Slaughter, his entire body radiating a dazzling golden light. His gaze was resolute, and his aura gradually rose, making him appear like an invincible war god.
Seeing Qin Ze's change, the golden skull sensed danger, but it was too late.
Qin Ze rushed towards the golden skull and threw a punch, imbued with the power of the Emperor's Way, instantly breaking through the golden skull's defenses.
Then, he gripped the Heavenly Question Sword tightly with his other hand, and the power of the Way of Slaughter condensed on the sword, forming a blood-red sword light.
The sword light sliced through the air, striking the golden skull like lightning.
The golden skull tried to dodge, but it was too late. The blood-red sword light pierced through its defenses and went straight through its golden skull.
With a loud bang, the golden skull exploded, turning into golden fragments that scattered in all directions.
As the golden skull dissipated, a golden crystal appeared where he had stood, shimmering with an alluring light. Qin Ze bent down, carefully cradling the crystal in his hands, feeling the powerful energy emanating from it. Within this golden crystal seemed to lie an incredible energy.
Qin Ze's eyes widened in surprise: "Could this be the energy crystal of the Golden Skull? That woman Shen Gongbao wasn't lying to me after all!"
Qin Ze carefully found a secluded and safe corner. He knew that in a place like the battlefield of gods and demons, it was not advisable to easily expose his actions. He chose a place hidden by ruins, making sure that no other gods, demons, or dangers were present.
