Chapter 2031 Not Enough
Their minds were filled with thoughts of murder and slaughter, of flesh and blood… Nothing would satiate them… maybe even killing was not enough. **
"What did you just say?" "They're dead. They're all dead." The Ancient Battlefield was a land with one season. In fact, there was no such thing as day and night either. Everyday was pervaded was a dark red. It never became too dark, nor did it ever become too bright. Yet, this area was somehow a winter wasteland. The ancient trees were without leaves, the mountains were covered in white caps, and the soil beneath their feet was nowhere to be seen, buried beneath a sheet of snow. There was only one territory in this prison like this… The territory of the Ice Phoenixes. Unlike when he had done so simply for saving face, the Ice Phoenix Overlord usually spent his time in his human form. He truly looked no different from a man carved of ice. A handsome visage beyond compare, frosty sapphire pupils and ice blue hair, all adorned in a robe so white it was almost blinding. "Was sending six Overlords really not enough?" The Ice Phoenix Overlord frowned. Among the Overlords of the Phoenix Clans, he was actually of quite low status. If not, he wouldn't have to deal with this seemingly trivial matter. In reality, the 12 Overlord Clans didn't really care about the dwarves. Though the Phoenix Clan tacitly agreed with his actions, they didn't take an active part either. To those 12 Overlord Clans, all existences below them were nothing but ants. The truth was that even among Overlords there were separations. In fact, these separations could become very large. It wasn't as though Overlords were a new cultivation realm, because they weren't. What separated out most Overlords was in how many facets they entered the Overlord Realm in. Madeleine, for example, had entered the Overlord Realm with her comprehension, one of the four facets. However, there was still the body, soul and qi facets remaining. Though none in the history of the Ancient Battlefield had ever managed to reach perfection in all four facets, the true Overlords of the Ancient Battlefield were those who had managed to reach this Realm in at least three facets. Of these Overlords, there were 13! And each and every one of them came from the 12 Overlord Clans. This was why the reigned supreme over all others. However, even aside from these three facet Overlords, there were still two facet Overlords. This Ice Phoenix Overlord was a mere one facet Overlord. Of course, he was still fairly young, which was why his status was still decent. But in comparison to the others above him, he was still lacking. This was a reality that he could only accept. "Overlord Ascelyn, we cannot tell for sure what happened, but what is certain is that the dwarves suffered little to no damage. In addition, there's a dense death qi over the battlefield. "If we had to guess, there must have been some strong Necromancer hidden within the dwarven clan. Either that, or they had some hidden treasure with deep roots in the path of the death qi…" Overlord Ascelyn's frown only deepened at these words. "Necromancy? Neither the elves nor the dwarves have ever delved into such a thing."
After a few moments, he waved his servant away. "Allow me some time to think. Since this was such a resounding failure, instigating those Clans to act again will only cause them to rebel. Even if they are nothing more than ants, this isn't the time to be dealing with such troublesome matters." "Yes, Overlord…" The servant bowed deeply. "… This servant only has one more matter to report." "Speak."
"There's been movement on the Flat Plains once again." "Again? This is the second time in a little over a hundred years, no?" "Yes, last time it was a boy of unknown origins who crossed the Flat Plains and entered those untouchable lands. However, we lost track of him before we could take action. "Unfortunately, it happened again this time." "The same boy?" "No, it's someone different this time. He should be an Invader as well." "Did you follow him as instructed?" "We did, but we lost him as well. It seems that those who dare to enter that place without a plan died of their own foolishness long ago… Those who dare to do so now are entirely confident in their abilities… The problem is that their strength that baffles me. "Last time, the boy was a mere celestial realm pup even this lowly servant could kill with a thought. This time, though the boy is slightly more powerful, he is only of the Dao Realm. Their ability to disappear under our noses doesn't make sense…" Though the previous matters tilted the Overlords mood in an unfavorable direction, this did so as well to a far more severe degree. Of the Ancient Battlefield, only those 13 dared to venture into that region. And even then, they only ventured its outskirts, not daring to enter too far. These two boys were really too peculiar. "… There is good news this time, however, esteemed one. Learning from our previous failure, we focused on tagging his qi signature. As long as he exits that volatile region, we'll be able to pinpoint his location immediately without issue. "By then, all of his secrets will be yours."

In the southern region of the Ancient Battlefield, the atmosphere was completely unlike how it was elsewhere. There were well built cities, beautiful stretches of manmade rivers, and even the semblance of blue skies up above that looked so real it was impossible to tell it came from an array. At one particular city, an imposing woman with beauty beyond words took command. She stood in the skies, her violet hair gently wafting an intoxicating fragrance that made one's bones go soft. Yet, those below, listening to her commands, didn't dare to look on for too long. This woman was an Overlord. Not only that, but she was the wife of their Emperor. Even if they were a hundred times bolder, they wouldn't dare encroach upon her dignity. Once she finished giving her orders, the armies moved out once more. contemporary romance
