Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji's cultivation reached the Martial Core Realm, the third level of the Extraordinary Realm, the moment they stepped into the Tianyuan Continent.
The Martial Core Realm is the fifth major realm of martial arts cultivation. Martial artists who advance from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm will have their abundant liquid true essence condense into a Martial Arts Golden Core.
Once a martial artist condenses a martial arts golden core within their body, not only does it greatly increase the amount of true essence stored, but each portion of true essence can exert a power a hundred times greater than that of a martial arts grandmaster.
A martial artist at the Martial Arts Mirror level could wipe out an area of tens of thousands of square meters with a single full-force strike, easily destroying mountains and stopping rivers.
Besides their immense destructive power, human warriors who break through to the Martial Core Realm can possess a lifespan of up to two thousand years.
After undergoing the baptism of ascension, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji not only reached the Martial Core Realm in cultivation, but also received a great improvement in all aspects of their lives, including their talent and physique.
"Grandmaster, is this the legendary Heavenly Realm? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is indeed much richer than that of our mortal world!"
"Look, the ground is covered with rare spiritual herbs that are hard to find in the human world. Do these precious spiritual herbs grow everywhere in the celestial realm?"
Zhang Wuji looked around at his surroundings, filled with emotion.
"Back then, that great immortal who descended from the heavens told me that the heavens, like our mortal realm, are a world where ordinary people live, only that the heavens are much more advanced than our world!"
"Perhaps in the world we lived in before, these were rare spiritual herbs, but in this celestial realm, they may really just be common weeds!"
After saying this, Zhang Sanfeng was also very moved.
"Hmm! Wuji, someone's here."
Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji looked up at the same time, staring at the figure flying rapidly toward them from afar.
When the newcomer landed in front of them, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji were both startled.
So strong!
The oppressive aura emanating from the person before them brought immense pressure to the two of them.
The person who came before Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji was dressed in black armor and looked like an extremely dignified middle-aged man.
Upon seeing Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji, the middle-aged man immediately became excited.
"May I ask if you two are from the human realm? Which city of my human race are you from? Or were you sent by the Human Emperor to find my Blood Battle City?"
Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji looked at the excited man in front of them, exchanged a glance, and then Zhang Wuji spoke first.
"This is my grandmaster. My grandmaster and I originally lived in a secluded place. We came out to travel. But the outside world is too vast, and we have lost our way without knowing when, and ended up here by accident."
The middle-aged man looked at Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji. Although he didn't believe Zhang Wuji's words, he still extended an invitation to them.
"We are all human beings and should help each other. Since you two have lost your way, why don't you come back to Blood War City with me first?"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded to Zhang Wuji.
"In that case, we shall respectfully comply. Please lead the way!"
Zhang Wuji cupped his hands in greeting to Xuanyuan.
This middle-aged man was none other than Xuanyuan, the city lord of the Human Race's Blood War City.
After the first great war between humans and orcs, Xuanyuan, who had rendered meritorious service in defending Blood War City, was quickly promoted to city lord by the human emperor Shennong.
After becoming the lord of Bloodbath City, Xuanyuan repelled several large-scale attacks launched by the orcs, earning him great prestige in Bloodbath City and among the entire human race.
Seeing Zhang Wuji's way of speaking, which was completely different from that of the Tianyuan human race, Xuanyuan became extremely interested in these two humans who had already reached the Martial Core realm and could be considered strong even in Blood Battle City.
However, Xuanyuan was only interested in Zhang Wuji and Zhang Sanfeng. He did not want to delve into their origins. He only wanted the human race living in Blood Battle City to live better.
After all, Bloodbath City has been isolated from the entire human race for seventy or eighty years. How much has the human race changed over these years? What is their attitude towards Bloodbath City now? Nobody knows for sure.
As they flew away with Xuanyuan, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji, with their already powerful eyesight, noticed that as they traveled further and further, towering mountains began to appear in the distance on both sides.
As they approached Bloodbath City, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji noticed that the towering mountains on either side of them were gradually growing in their direction, with the land in front of them sandwiched between endless mountain ranges.
After traveling some distance, the mountains ahead began to merge into one, forming an endless cliff, and the land between the two cliffs began to gradually narrow.
Suddenly, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji, who were flying in the air, stopped. They had discovered an incredibly magnificent city in front of them.

················
The city has a magnificent city wall facing the direction of Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji.
The city wall is over a thousand meters high, connecting to towering cliffs on both sides, and is over ten thousand meters long.
In the center of this magnificent city wall, on the gate that is hundreds of meters long, are engraved three mysterious characters that Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji did not recognize, but understood their meaning.
Although Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji did not recognize the three characters on the city wall, they understood their meaning at a glance: Blood Battle City.
Looking around, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji saw countless rugged buildings behind the city wall that connected the two cliffs of Blood Battle City.
Countless humans were coming and going inside those buildings, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene.
Beyond the walls of Bloodbath City, the land became increasingly open, and the human dwellings stretched for an unknown distance.
Even with Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji's keen eyesight, they could only see that behind Blood City, on the increasingly wide land, a wall even wider than the Blood Battle City wall in front of them was vaguely appearing.
"Gentlemen, this is the Blood War City that countless members of my human race have painstakingly built over the decades. Let's enter the city!"
Xuanyuan, who was standing to the side, looked at Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Wuji, who were in a daze, and said.
