Chapter 6203 Moths Drawn to the Flame
BOOM!
A coffin slammed shut, sealing a powerful expert within. Mo Nian looked up at the giant golden scales in the sky, his expression dark.
“Fuck, what is going on?! I’m already doing my best here! How are the scales falling so quickly?!”
It wasn’t just Mo Nian. The Dragonblood Legion and the Dragon Domain’s experts were not searching for treasure either, but slaughtering as many enemies as they could.
Even so, the scales continued to tilt at an alarming rate. At this pace, they’d be expelled from the heaven region’s battlefield within two days.
The experts of the nine heavens were outraged and bewildered. In such a short span, they hadn't even had a chance to search for legacies.
Could this be it? Would it all end just like this?
BOOM!
Just then, the world shook, and everyone saw a speck of divine light approaching the giant scales. It was like a sesame seed in front of the giant golden scales, clearly insignificant.
Inside the battlefield and beyond, countless cultivators were stunned.
“Someone’s approaching the scales! What are they trying to do?!”
“These scales are located above the heaven region’s battlefield, and they are blocked off by the laws of nine worlds. No one can reach the scales. If they try, they will be destroyed by the laws.”
As countless experts discussed this sudden turn of events, within the Dragon Domain’s passageway, the Domain Protector and the others tensed up.
“Tell me... do you think... that it is Lord Long Chen?” wondered one elder.
No one responded as they were too nervous.𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The scales had severely tilted toward the other side. If someone was charging up at them at this time, they had to be someone from the nine heavens.
Just then, an ancient voice rang out.
“Throughout history, some people have managed to reach the scales. Once there, they will be able to see through the river of time itself... See the origin of the tribulation of the nine heavens, and even glimpse the future of the ten lands.”
Everyone stiffened. That voice had bypassed the laws of the passageway. Whoever the speaker was, their power was unimaginable.
“A Divine Sovereign...?”
“Senior, is it really possible to see the future by reaching the scales?” someone asked reverently.
“Who knows?” the ancient voice replied. “Legend says five people have reached the scales across history. But what they saw—or what became of them—no one knows.”
“Five people?”
They were all startled, even the Dragon Domain’s patriarchs. Not even their ancient inheritances had mentioned such a thing.
Who was this speaker? How could he know such secrets?
BOOM!
The golden scales quivered again. That speck of light moved closer, and it grew slightly larger, slightly brighter.
“The heaven region has nine layers. This little genius has reached the third level, but the later layers are stronger than the last. To reach the scales is as difficult as ascending the heavens,” mentioned that ancient voice.
At this moment, countless people were staring at the scales, both within the battlefield and the passageways of the nine heavens.
But not everyone looked on with hope.
The experts of the other world watched the ascending light with sneers of contempt.
To them, it was meaningless. Their world had no record of anyone ever reaching the scales. So, even if someone from the nine heavens had done so before, what of it? They still lost every time.
So when they saw someone attempting it now, they weren’t worried in the slightest. Instead, they were amused.
Meanwhile, hope surged among the cultivators of the nine heavens. If the battle continued like this, they’d be expelled. Charging the scales... might be their only chance.
BOOM!
That speck of light smashed into a fourth wall and exploded like a firework.
“Ugh.”
Despair gripped the hearts of the nine heavens’ experts. That beautiful firework meant a peerless genius had just died—erased by the laws of the battlefield.
“What...?”
The Dragon Domain’s elders paled, unable to believe their eyes.
The Domain Protector hastily said, “Don’t worry, that was definitely not Lord Long Chen.”
Just then, eight more specks of light appeared up in the sky. Eight experts were fearlessly charging toward the scales.
Everyone from the nine heavens felt their blood heating up. They had finally realized: the scales were their only hope, and these geniuses were ready to bet their lives on it.
Regretfully, five of those heavenly geniuses could only reach the second wall. The other three made it to the third—
And then, one after another, exploded in brilliance.
Everyone’s heart sank.
They clenched their fists, and some even wept.
Anyone who could blast through the first two walls was a one-in-ten-thousand genius, someone with a great future ahead of them.
But now? No one even knew who they were.
“Foolish children, don’t be so rash. Wait for me. Boss Mo’s about to go up,” Mo Nian muttered.
Mo Nian sat cross-legged on a massive coffin lid. Behind him, an ancient pine tree stretched toward the heavens, surrounded by swirling laws of the Grand Dao.
He was preparing himself. Once he charged up to the scales, there would be no going back. He had to be in his strongest state.
All across the battlefield, other geniuses were making the same decision. They understood—this was no longer about looking for their ancestors’ legacy. This was about survival, and the scales were their only chance.
Dozens more specks of light appeared in the sky. But the strongest only made it to the fourth wall before becoming another brilliant firework.
One after another, lives burned out like stars falling from the heavens.
Then, hundreds of specks of light lit up, signifying hundreds of experts blasting through the first wall in unison.
“Children, don’t be rash!”
Within the passageways, the cries of elders echoed with grief.
It didn’t matter who they were or what race they were from. They were all fighting for the nine heavens. Watching these children sacrifice themselves like moths to the flame was unbearable.
So many heavenly geniuses had charged to their deaths. None had passed the fourth wall.
Moreover, there were still five more beyond it—each one harder than the last.
Even the most hardened experts couldn’t watch anymore. Some closed their eyes, some turned away, and some simply wept.
BOOM!
Just then, another speck of light soared upward—like a comet tearing through the sky.
BOOM!
The second wall—shattered.
BOOM!
The third wall—gone.
BOOM!
The fourth wall—blasted through.
“That’s...!”
The speck of light ascended further and further, causing everyone inside the passageways to shout excitedly.
