The Strongest War God

Chapter 1569: Mysterious Mirror

“The Land of Return is filled with opportunities,” the leader of the holy masters said solemnly. “But it’s also the most dangerous place in the Spirit Sea. This is your first time here, so remember not to risk your lives or get injured!”

“Isn’t it common to get injured in a competition between cultivators?” one of the followers asked, puzzled.

The leader stopped and lowered his voice. “Do you feel the ferocious aura around you? If you aren’t injured, these baleful auras are nothing to worry about. But if you get hurt, they become incredibly fierce.

“If you are injured, your baleful aura will increase a hundredfold!

“And if 30% of your body is damaged, the baleful aura increases ten thousand times!”

The words of the leader were filled with deep fear.

This was common knowledge in the Land of Return.

Instantly, the two followers were terrified.

They realized that if they got injured, they would likely be at risk of dying.

The sudden increase in the baleful aura would crush their minds and consciousness, turning them into killing machines, walking corpses.

If more than half their body was injured, death in the Land of Return was almost certain.

There were only three things that could save lives in the Land of Return:

The first was a spirit pill that could resist the evil aura, clear one’s mind, and prevent being affected by it.

The second was a path talisman.

The third was a special spirit artifact that could resist the baleful aura.

Braydon Neal took in all this information and frowned.

The Land of Return had a huge impact on the Northern Army!

The men were all good at fighting, each with a strong killing intent.

If they got injured, they’d be more easily affected by the fiendish energy here.

“Skylar, be careful,” Braydon said. “If it’s not necessary, don’t use your weapons. If you’re injured, the baleful aura here will increase by ten thousand times and attack you.”

“Got it!” Skylar Neal responded, calm and composed.

This place seemed dangerous, but if other cultivators could navigate it, so could they. The sons of the Northern Army were not weaker than others!

Braydon and Skylar traveled together, heading toward the location of Dragon Spring.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that place should be the family war ground—the battlefield where the Neal family and the Stone family fought.

It was a full 8,000 miles away.

In the past, Braydon could have teleported across this distance with a flick of his wrist. But now, he couldn’t.

The space in the Land of Return was extremely stable and sturdy, as if reinforced by a powerful expert.

Compared to the void outside, this place was at least ten thousand times stronger!

Even life and death realm cultivators couldn’t tear the void apart.

More importantly, even if he forcefully tore open the void, Braydon wouldn’t dare to enter!

The spatial compression force here would likely be 10,000 times stronger than in other places.

Even with a spatial body, he probably wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Braydon and his brother didn’t hide their auras.

They pushed their speed to the limit, turning into two streaks of light heading straight for Dragon Spring.

Despite the suppression, their speed was still terrifying.

In just 15 minutes, they crossed 8,000 miles and arrived at Dragon Spring.

Along the way, Braydon noticed more and more cultivators around them.

They also saw that many factions had established territories here, likely having been stationed for thousands of years because of the Dragon Spring.

Braydon could vaguely make out the outline of an ancient city, its walls made of bluestone bricks standing a hundred meters tall.

Outside the city gate, cultivators constantly came and went.

Because the Dragon Spring was controlled by the Spirit Sea’s super forces, ordinary rogue cultivators couldn’t enter.

Over a thousand factions had joined forces in this ancient city, competing with the superpowers, but their internal issues were prominent.

True unity was nonexistent, as each faction focused on its own interests.

With the Neal family and the Stone family already at war, the ancient city was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Braydon reached the gate and was stopped by guards.

“Do you know that private fights are prohibited in Haotian City?” one guard interrogated.

Braydon nodded lightly, having expected this.

The city was far from peaceful.

How could it be, when the super forces of the Spirit Sea were at war?

It was simply a fool’s dream!

Braydon stepped into the city.

Above him, an ancient bronze mirror hung over the words “Hoizen City.”

A gray light shone down, piercing through Braydon’s body and soul, probing straight to his essence.

Braydon narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing.

Being publicly exposed felt like a humiliation.

How could the Northern King accept this?

With a swift motion, Braydon opened his dual-pupils and stared at the copper mirror, blocking its probing gaze.

“Dual-pupils?”

The cultivators lining up to enter the city were instantly shocked.

“Neal family or Siegel family?”

The surrounding people couldn’t help but feel wary.

“This copper mirror is not bad. Can you lend it to me to play with?” Braydon asked, his tone light but challenging.

“This…” The guards’ expressions immediately turned ugly.

They didn’t dare to offend the Neal family, but the Demon Revealing Mirror had been on the city gate since the ancient city’s discovery.

It illuminated cultivators infected by the baleful aura and even demon beasts that had transformed.

No one could take it off or keep it for themselves.

Braydon smiled faintly, withdrew his dual-pupils, and entered the city.

However, he felt a trace of killing intent behind him.

Someone wanted to kill him!

If he was not mistaken, it should be a cultivator from the Stone family.

Skylar wore a ghost mask and followed his brother into the city, also illuminated by the Demon Revealing Mirror.

A gray light enveloped his entire body, probing his essence just like it did with Braydon.

Braydon turned to look at his brother, his gaze falling on Skylar’s chest.

The body carried the soul, and within his soul, there was an imprint on his chest—a soul imprint!

Sadie Dudley had not lied to Braydon; the people around him all bore soul imprints, like companions.

Braydon saw that Skylar’s soul imprint was black, the size of a palm, stark against his chest.

Feeling humiliated, Skylar’s eyes turned cold and filled with killing intent.

The mark on his chest and soul, normally hidden, was now exposed to prying eyes.

Swoosh!

The soul imprint reacted, emitting a dim light.

A faint glow appeared, followed by an angry roar of an old dragon.

Though soundless, the dragon’s fury reverberated throughout the Spirit Sea.

Sea beasts of the demon race boiled in response, jumping into the water in extreme pain.

In Hoizen, monks clutched their bleeding ears, terrified by the dragon’s roar.

The old dragon’s fury had been unleashed.

A dim light flashed in Skylar’s body, and an arm-long dragon appeared.

The gray dragon charged toward the copper mirror.
