The competition regarding the Boundless Ranking was set to go on for a period of ten epochs. This ancient battlefield was chosen as the venue since the Boundless Tablet was found in this area.
Truthfully, a normal competition involving battles between cultivators would usually end fairly quickly. The duration of the competition was prolonged so that participants could venture out across the battlefield and perhaps come across treasures or opportunities of great fortune.
“Where are we right now? Also, how long will it take for us to reach the location that we are looking for?” Although James had memorized the map provided by Zeno, he still had no clue about his exact location at the moment.
Zeno replied, “We are currently situated somewhere outside the dark zone, whereas the person has been sealed at a place hidden deep in the dark zone. If we were to travel at full speed, we should be able to reach our destination within a few million years.”
Jamesʼ eyes widened.
‘It’s going to take a few million years for cultivators of our level to reach that place?! How big is this dark zone?’ James wondered.
Zeno could tell what James was thinking from the expression on his face. “The Heavenly Path does not exist in these dark, uncharted areas. What’s more, the dark zone is actually bigger than what you can imagine. As far as I know, it is even larger than all the Endlosʼ Nine Districts combined together.”
James was very surprised to hear about the size of the dark zone. Still, he quickly decided that it was time for them to move as there was no time for him to waste.
“Let’s go.”
Zeno and James decided on the general direction that they would travel in. Then, both of them started teleporting toward the dark zone at a high speed, with Livie following right behind.
Several million years passed as the three of them traveled further and further into the deepest and most deserted place of the dark zone.
A malevolent, vicious energy permeated the air and space in the darkness of that area. The ordinary people would not be able to get close to this area, in the first place. Even competent cultivators would not recklessly enter this zone since it was easy for anyone to lose their sense of direction there.
