Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Boom!”

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, illuminating the wilderness, the thick rain, and the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop.

Huang Zhongyun was riding on the back of a black bull spirit beast and recalling his glory in the past. Suddenly, his spiritual senses tingled and he went on alert.

He hurriedly slapped the black bull he was riding on. Panic appeared in the black bull’s eyes as it quickly came to a stop.

Spirit beasts were the names given to the mutant beasts that had been tamed by humans. Some of them were even as intelligent as humans. Therefore, they naturally understood the team’s situation that they could be discovered by their pursuers at any time.

“Everyone, stop!”

Someone in the team behind shouted in a low voice. Then, the entire team came to a stop in an orderly manner.

In the wilderness, the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop stopped quietly in their tracks, letting the rain fall on them and the carts carrying the source ores.

From Elder Huang to the guards, to the young geniuses escorting the team, everyone restrained their auras.

It had to be known that the weakest of these people was an ordinary guard at the level of the inscription realm. At this moment, his body was drenched by the rain like a mortal.

Who wouldn’t feel aggrieved?

Who wouldn’t be furious?

However, what could they do? At the moment, whether they stayed in the wilderness or in Heaven Suppressing City, it was not a good choice. Only by successfully reaching the floating canyon could they resolve their predicament.

Not long after.

In the darkness behind them, figures gradually surged out through the rain.

It was the Heaven Suppressing Army. The pursuers from the city ruler’s faction had caught up.

Soldiers in black armor confirmed that the team in front of them was the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop that they had been chasing after for a long time. Each of their bodies burned with purple flames, and their auras soared into the sky.

Then, hundreds of purple flames fused together to form a purple flame giant that reached up into the sky.

This was a joint killing technique of the Heaven Suppressing Army. Everyone cultivated the same technique and chose those who had similar cultivation progress to form teams or squadrons.

At the same time, this was also a technique that could truly fight against the weakest gods. Although there was a time limit for its use and it could only hold them back, if they worked together with the generals at the level of the gods in the army, the weaker gods would be surrounded and killed.

“Elder Huang, long time no see.”

A general in armor slowly walked out of the Heaven Suppressing Army.

He held a thick halberd in his hand. This was a powerful divine artifact. As his aura surged, one could vaguely hear the cries of gods. In the past, there had been more than one or two gods killed by him.

In fact, the lingering cries of these gods had already turned into a terrifying curse that was used as an alternative attack.

“Xie Qu.”

The team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop recognized this person.

Xie Qu from the Xie clan was an important member of the Heaven Suppressing Army. Although he had yet to reach the jade star realm, he was not inferior to the geniuses of the younger generation.

Coupled with the cooperation of a team of hundreds of soldiers from the Heaven Suppressing Army, he could fight against a jade star realm expert like Huang Yuzhong.

“Xie Qu, the city ruler’s faction is only using you guys in the end, while the source ore shops provide an important cultivation resource of the source ores.”

“How about pretending not to see us? When we meet again in the future, we will naturally repay you,”

Huang Zhongyun suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly.

His voice echoed in the harsh weather, which was filled with lightning and thunder. However, the heavy rain did not stop him from accurately conveying his words to the troops from the Heaven Suppressing Army behind him.

“Elder Huang, you’re still daydreaming. It won’t be long before the factions behind the source ore shops are wiped out. How can your promise compare to the actual source ores in front of us?”

Xie Qu laughed.

This laughter made the hearts of the members of the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop turn cold.

The team from the source ore shops that was retreating to the floating canyon naturally did not want to be held back. Once they were held back by the hundreds of soldiers led by Xie Qu, they would sooner or later be surrounded and doomed.

At this moment, the man from the Nine Rivers Sect stood up and said to Huang Zhongyun, “Elder Huang, I’ll hold back the Heaven Suppressing Army led by Xie Qu.”

As soon as he finished speaking, beside him, the young geniuses who were also escorting the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop were all shocked.

The decision was definitely not a spur of the moment decision made by the man in tight-fitting clothes. Instead, it was under orders from the Nine Rivers Sect.

It turned out that the Nine Rivers Sect was really not joking. At the critical moment, they were willing to sacrifice their young geniuses to help the Seven Stars Group.

Huang Zhongyun naturally understood all of this. He nodded and said, “I’ll leave everything to you, but just hold them back for a while. The team will use a random teleportation formation to leave.”

What Elder Huang meant was that he wanted the man from the Nine Rivers Sect to leave on his own after stalling for time and not join up with the team.

In reality, it was impossible for the team to wait for the man to catch up to them.

To put it nicely, they were retreating. To put it bluntly, they were escaping. In their current situation, every time they were caught, they had to use a random teleportation formation to escape.

Soon, the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop continued on their way, leaving the man behind.

Xie Qu from the Heaven Suppressing Army seemed to have expected this situation. He could only let Huang Zhongyun lead the team away and disappear from sight.

If he wanted to continue his pursuit, he had to pass the young genius who was blocking his way.

“Boom!”

A long saber formed by purple flames cut through the thick rain.

The purple flame giant that was standing between the sky and earth moved. With a wave of its arm, it controlled the purple flame saber and slashed down at the man.

Seeing this, the man in tight-fitting clothes roared, and the lightning and thunder in the sky stopped.

Then, he pressed his palms together, and the power of the world from his inner world surged out. Two huge palms appeared on both sides of the purple flames giant.

In the next moment, before the purple flame saber arrived, the two huge palms pressed together, instantly killing the purple flame giant.

From the start to the end, the time that passed was less than the duration of a breath.

It was not a technique that the Heaven Suppressing Army could not fight against. Instead, it was because the man in tight-fitting clothes was the face of a faction like the Nine Rivers Sect, so he had combat strength far stronger than an ordinary expert at the star condensation realm.

The purple flame giant could fight against the weakest god for a short period of time, but that did not mean that it could fight against a genius like the man in tight-fitting clothes.

“Kid, you’re quite powerful. Even the ancestors of your Nine Rivers Sect don’t dare to provoke our Heaven Suppressing Army. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, die here.”

Xie Qu had presided over the army and protected the hundreds of soldiers under him. He had only managed to kill the purple flame giant that they had created.

In the next moment, Xie Qu personally charged over and fought the man.

The Nine Rivers Sect had focused on the path of martial arts, and every move and stance in their techniques involved martial arts. Even those who had cultivated to the level of gods were no exception.

The Heaven Suppressing Army technique that Xie Qu cultivated had the same goal. It was a powerful killing technique that belonged to the physical type, and every move he made was filled with a barbaric aura.

The battle between the two was comparable to a collision between planets. The void exploded, and a violent aura soared into the sky.

The thunderclouds in the sky were dispersed, and a large area of the ground cracked open. The harsh lightning and thunder also disappeared because of the two of them.

If not for the fact that the abandoned world was not an ordinary living planet but an unimaginably huge planet, it would have been destroyed by the two of them.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of blows had been exchanged.

The man in tight-fitting clothes and Xie Qu were evenly matched. Xie Qu was indeed an important member of the Heaven Suppressing Army. He was not at a disadvantage even when facing the genius of the Nine Rivers Sect.

At this moment, the hundreds of soldiers from the Heaven Suppressing Army moved again.

They tacitly split into four teams and split up dozens of kilometers away. After surrounding the two people who were constantly fighting, they set up a square purple barrier.

This was another technique of the Heaven Suppressing Army. It was a powerful method to surround and kill enemies when facing an existence that they could not defeat easily.

The situation was just like this.

Within the purple barrier, purple flames that could invade one’s mind appeared one after another, causing the combat environment to change drastically. However, Xie Qu was not affected.

In addition, the sound waves emitted by the soldiers of the Heaven Suppressing Army from the four corners of the barrier fused seamlessly into the formation.

At the same time, because of the sealing characteristics of the barrier, the rebound became stronger and stronger, gradually becoming powerful enough to interfere with the judgment of the man in tight-fitting clothes.

Soon, the man from the Nine Rivers Sect was suppressed by Xie Qu due to the interference of many factors. He was at a disadvantage and even began to suffer injuries that dyed the air red with his blood.

Seeing that he seemed to be trapped by the barrier and had held the troops back for a while, but he was also about to be killed by Xie Qu, the situation could be said to be extremely dangerous for him.

At this moment, at the top of the barren mountain, Chen Yiming, who had witnessed all this, muttered to himself, “The team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop brought a large group of unrelated people with them. It’s just right for me to take the initiative to thin them out.”

If Xie Qu instantly crushed the man in tight-fitting clothes, Chen Yiming might have to attack him.

However, since the man in tight-fitting clothes had the ability to stall for time, Chen Yiming wouldn’t care if he survived or not.

With that, his figure disappeared and he chased after the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop.

…

Not long after, just as the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop was discovered by a Heaven Suppressing Army and was forced to let the man from the Nine Rivers Sect cover their retreat, the team used the teleportation talismans to escape.

On the other side, tens of thousands of kilometers away, the team from the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop was also severely injured. Furthermore, they were in a much worse situation than the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop.

The team from the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop was ambushed by three generals from the Heaven Suppressing Army leading troops that numbered more than 2,000 people.

Usually, it was already a good outcome if the three generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army trapped the team from the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop for just a while. However, the team from the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop did not dare to stay any longer.

In the end, when they tried to break out of the encirclement in a hurry, the three generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army split the team from the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop into two.

A large group that was mostly formed by the people from the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop used one person as a sacrifice to cover their retreat and used the teleportation talismans to escape.

The other team was relatively weak and consisted of a small group from the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop and two young geniuses who were escorting the team.

However, this relatively weak team had brought along almost half of the original team’s source ores in the chaos. This was undoubtedly causing trouble for them.

As expected, the three generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army chose to chase after and kill the relatively weak team.

Furthermore, due to the difference in strength between the two sides, the two young geniuses had not been able to find a suitable opportunity to use the teleportation talismans to escape.

Not long after.

“Boom!”

The spirit beast pulling the cart was beaten to a pulp.

The vehicles carrying source ores behind them exploded from the aftershock. At the same time, the source ores inside flew out in all directions.

There were at least 1,000 fist-sized source ores.

This was not because any of the three generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army had made a move. Instead, it was because the team from the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop was in trouble. Since they were carrying the source ores, they would be surrounded and killed sooner or later.

They had no choice but to make the decision to cut off their tail and survive, hoping to use the source ores to stall the pursuers.

Soon, this trick worked.

Facing the source ores that was equivalent to half of the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop’s resources, and since their target was not the main force of the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop, the three generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army stopped their pursuit.

In reality, in order to prevent his subordinates from secretly slacking off, the ruler of the Heaven Suppressing City had promised 30% of the source ores obtained from this operation as rewards for them.

There was room for manipulation of the ‘30%’ of the loot. Under normal circumstances, there would be a certain amount of loss.

This way, the three generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army were unwilling to chase after the team that had escaped.

What if, when he returned, the other two generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army split the loot first in private? There would be no way to explain themselves. Therefore, they had to split the loot before continuing to chase after them.

“F*ck, after cultivating for so many years, this is the first time I’ve obtained so many source ores.”

The source ores were still scattered among the rubble and grass. A general of the Heaven Suppressing Army was so excited that his face was red and his voice was trembling.

If he could take these source ores for himself, he was even confident that he could rely on the help of a large amount of essence energy to force his way through to the jade star realm.

The surrounding soldiers of the Heaven Suppressing Army were also envious, but they knew very well that the amount of essence energy distributed to them would only be in small amounts.

In fact, it would depend on the final performance of this pursuit to get a share. Not everyone could get a share of it.

“Elder Zhang, isn’t it just some source ores? The soldiers are all watching. Watch your image.”

“The situation is going to get more chaotic. The source ore shops must have accumulated a lot over the years. We will have a chance to obtain more source ores,”

another general from the Heaven Suppressing Army said as he pretended to be calm.

“That’s true. You have to know that these are only half of the source ores in one of the source ore shops in Heaven Suppressing City. Who knows how many there are in the base of the factions behind the source ore shops or in their secret strongholds?”

Chen Yiming walked out of the void. The three generals of the Heaven Suppressing City had their backs facing him as he joined them.

“Hahaha! You’re right. The abandoned world is going to be in chaos. For a long time to come, it will be a free-for-all to hunt down the factions from the source ore shops. We…”

At this point, the three generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army felt that something was amiss.

The soldiers of the Heaven Suppressing Army were standing guard in a circle a few kilometers wide. However, at some point, the three people had become four people, and an unfamiliar voice sounded from among them.

Earlier, the three of them had been too excited and had too been careless with their surroundings.

Chen Yiming nodded and continued, “Thank you for breaking up the team from the Jade Void Source Ore Workshop. These source ores are mine.”
