"Now what you're seeing is an overview of the 'Desperate Battlefield.'"
"So far, five 'Desperate Battlefields' have appeared around the world. We numbered them according to the order in which they appeared."
"The one behind Crimson Rock Base is numbered 03."
Xu Tao spoke loudly from the podium.
"An energy called 'Nether Particles' appears inside the 'Desperate Battlefield.' They're released by the 'Abyssal Vein.'"
"You all know what the Abyssal Vein is, right? Abyssal Veins usually appear in Forbidden Lands. By absorbing the energy of an Abyssal Vein, giant beasts can raise their rank."
"Normally, the 'Nether Particles' released by an Abyssal Vein are quickly neutralized by the ubiquitous Primal Energy."

"They're everywhere in the 'Desperate Battlefield.' Fortunately, the amount of 'Nether Particles' in each unit of space is limited, and their concentration hasn't reached a level fatal to ordinary people."
"Even so, 'Nether Particles' still affect us humans. Ordinary people's immunity will decrease in the 'Desperate Battlefield,' and their overall bodily functions will decline."
"Cultivators aren't affected much physically, but the circulation of their Primal Energy will be several percent slower than usual. Their senses will also be somewhat restricted by the presence of 'Nether Particles.'"

"A cultivator's Primal Energy can neutralize these effects,
