Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!-Chapter 43 – The true great terror, the foundation of Xuanwu Nation

The crimson land stretched endlessly as far as the eye could see.
In the distance, a black mountain range stood in the middle of the red earth, creating a stark contrast between the two colors.
The million-strong army of the Xuanwu Nation was stationed at the edge of the crimson land. Even someone as powerful as the Left Emperor dared not step onto this land lightly.
For ahead lay the legendary Ancient Forbidden Zone.
The specific dangers of the Ancient Forbidden Zone were such that even the oldest records of the Xuanwu Nation could not provide any details.
The only description of the Ancient Forbidden Zone consisted of four simple words: "Great terror, certain death."
"Whoosh~"
The Left Emperor exhaled a breath of stale air, then waved his right hand, sending three humanoid puppets into the Ancient Forbidden Zone.
These three puppets were crafted using all the resources of the Xuanwu Nation.
Each puppet could rival a Divine Transformation stage expert, and their defense was such that even a full-force attack from a cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm couldn't easily break through.
Using these puppets to explore the Ancient Forbidden Zone was undoubtedly the safest and best method.
"Tap, tap, tap!"
Under the control of the Left Emperor, the puppets cautiously stepped into the range of the Ancient Forbidden Zone.
However, once the puppets entered the Forbidden Zone, the anticipated danger did not occur, and the puppets advanced several miles smoothly.
Seeing this, Zuo Xinghe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smile.
"It seems the Ancient Forbidden Zone isn't as..."
"Whoosh~"
Before Zuo Xinghe could finish his sentence, a gentle breeze blew over the three humanoid puppets in the distance, turning them into dust and scattering them.
Faced with such an unexpected situation, everyone fell silent.
"Gulp!"
Chen Changsheng swallowed hard, his mouth twitching. He wanted to ask the Left Emperor if he had seen what just happened.
But seeing the Left Emperor's cold expression, Chen Changsheng decided against it.
Seeing that the puppet scouting method was ineffective, the Left Emperor waved his hand again.
Behind him, the million-strong army of the Xuanwu Nation began to move, forming a mysterious grand formation.
They gathered everyone's strength together, finally condensing it into a black spear spanning several miles.
This method of consolidating everyone's strength was one of the Xuanwu Nation's trump cards and one of the reasons for their undefeated record over the years.
"Kill!"
The million soldiers shouted the word "kill" in unison, their voices so powerful that they shattered the clouds in the sky.
The spear, capable of destroying everything, charged towards the black mountain range of the Ancient Forbidden Zone with unstoppable momentum.
"Boom!"
The spear, formed by the million soldiers, did not hit the black mountain range but instead collided solidly with an invisible barrier.
In response to this powerful attack, the Ancient Forbidden Zone lit up with incredibly complex silver formation patterns.
These patterns covered every inch of the Forbidden Zone.
Chen Changsheng, proficient in formations, felt a splitting headache and his vision darken after just one glance.
Frightened by the intense backlash, Chen Changsheng quickly averted his gaze, not daring to observe the supreme formations within the Ancient Forbidden Zone.
"Kill!"
Seeing that they couldn't break through the supreme formations of the Forbidden Zone, the general of the Xuanwu Nation shouted again.
The million soldiers immediately began bleeding from their seven orifices, forcibly enhancing their strength at the cost of burning their life force.
With a massive infusion of vitality, the black spear turned blood-red, its power increasing severalfold.

Under such a desperate enhancement, the blood-red spear managed to achieve some results.
The invisible barrier was breached by an inch.
"Neigh~"
Just as everyone was excited about the recent achievement, the neigh of a horse echoed in everyone's ears.
Next, a skeletal horse emerged from the ground, with a suit of bronze armor sitting atop it.
At first glance, it looked like a human figure, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the armor was empty underneath.
"Tap, tap, tap!"
The bronze armor, riding the skeletal horse, charged quickly towards the crowd, shattering the spear formed by the combined strength of the million soldiers with a single strike from its decayed halberd.
Seeing this eerie scene, Chen Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine.
As the bronze armor was about to charge over, three white-haired elders suddenly rushed out from the crowd.
With their first move, they shook the mountains and rivers, changing the color of the heavens and earth.
These three elders were the foundation of the Xuanwu Nation, each having lived for fifteen hundred years.
The Left Emperor, nearing the end of his lifespan, planned to force his way into the Ancient Forbidden Zone.
And those "foundations" of the Xuanwu Nation also wanted to take this opportunity to extend their lifespans.
Seeing the "foundations" take action, the Left Emperor, who had remained inactive, also moved.
Driving a war chariot, he unleashed the full strength of his body, forcefully creating a crack in the supreme formations.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The intense commotion echoed in Chen Changsheng's ears, and the weak Chen Changsheng could only curl up in the corner of the war chariot, secretly peeking at everything around him.
Seeing the Left Emperor fighting with such frenzy, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but marvel at the Left Emperor's formidable strength.
The cultivation methods on this land were quite complex, some focusing on internal cultivation, others on external cultivation.
The Royal Dynasty was a standard internal cultivation, with realms such as Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Elemental Infant, and Divine Transformation.
The Xuanwu Nation, on the other hand, was a standard external cultivation, emphasizing physical prowess.
The realm divisions for external cultivation were simpler, referred to by simple levels.
As for the measurement standards, they were based on one's cultivation technique, and overall, there wasn't much difference.
Although internal and external cultivation methods and names differed, the realms and strengths corresponded to each other.
The first level of body refinement corresponded to the Qi Refining Realm, and the fifth level of body refinement corresponded to the Divine Transformation stage.
When the Left Emperor expressed his disregard for the Transcendent Realist, Chen Changsheng had always speculated about the Left Emperor's realm.
The Divine Transformation stage was the fifth cultivation realm, and for the Left Emperor to kill a Transcendent Realist so easily, he must have reached at least the sixth cultivation realm.
But now, seeing the Left Emperor's full strength, Chen Changsheng realized he had underestimated him.
His strength had already stepped into the seventh cultivation realm.
The only flaw was that he had just recently entered this realm.
"Sigh~"
A soft sigh echoed from within the black mountain range, and the three elders battling the bronze armor instantly turned into a mist of blood.
Chen Changsheng: !!!
Seeing the great terror manifest, the aura around the Left Emperor grew even stronger.
"Sword, come!"
The Left Emperor shouted, then punched through space, drawing an ancient long sword from the void.
With no one to restrain it, the bronze armor turned its attack towards the Left Emperor.
"Slash!"
A wave of Sword Qi swept out, and the Sword Qi stretching for thousands of miles instantly shattered the bronze armor into pieces.
This divine weapon was also the Xuanwu Nation's treasured heirloom, the True Martial Sword.
