Chapter 448: Joining the Heaven Suppressing Army
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The air suddenly fell silent.
The three generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army stiffened. Before they could turn around to see who it was, they felt a pressure as if the sky was about to collapse.
After the inner world was formed, everyone would be at the level of a god. However, there was also a difference in strength between gods. Sometimes, the difference was even greater than the difference between gods and mortals.
The surrounding Heaven Suppressing Army soldiers also sensed that something was amiss.
Someone had just exclaimed when he was scolded by the soldiers beside him in a low voice. After confirming the situation, their expressions froze.
To be able to appear silently behind the three generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army and only be discovered after a while, and to be all by himself, meant that he was powerful.
His absolute strength against the Heaven Suppressing Army was shown in the fact that he had taken the initiative to step into the encirclement and did not care at all.
“We are the Heaven Suppressing Army working for the city ruler. Who are you?” one of the generals asked.
In his heart, he did not want to give up the source ores so easily. Not only would he fail the mission, but he would also have to give up on his only chance to break through to the jade star realm.
After all, how could there be many opportunities where they had the right time, place, and people to chase after the teams from the source ore shops like this?
When another general from the Heaven Suppressing Army heard this, he suddenly felt that it was not appropriate.
This place was already quite far from the Heaven Suppressing City. If they dared to appear and snatch the source ores even though they knew that they were from the Heaven Suppressing Army, they would naturally not be easy to deal with.
If they questioned the other party like this, he might not give the city ruler any face and might just kill them all to obtain the source ores.
The third general of the Heaven Suppressing Army held the halberd in his hand tightly.
Although he had yet to really fight the person in front of him, the judgment made by his intuition formed after fighting many battles in the past would not be wrong. If they did not risk their lives, they might not have a chance of surviving at all.
These subconscious reactions happened in just a moment.
Seeing this, Chen Yiming thought to himself, “It seems like things can’t be settled peacefully. The other party has the support of the city ruler above the jade star realm. Now, the city ruler’s faction has created a person with the twin pupils bloodline.”
Thinking of this, he shamelessly made the first move.
He threw out a punch.
With an earth-shattering bang, even though the abandoned world had a powerful suppressing effect on one’s power, an area of tens of thousands of kilometers was still drowned out by a hemisphere of white light that spread out.
From the generals to the soldiers, all the troops of the Heaven Suppressing Army were within the range of this punch. No sound was made.
In fact, the tremors could be felt even from far away. The soldiers on the city wall could see a small white ball exploding in the distance.
“Not bad. They already forced the elders from the source ore shops to fight them while risking damage from breaking the natural laws.”
The ruler of Heaven Suppressing City sat on a platform. He had originally been a little worried, but now he was completely relaxed.
The path of the gods was essentially a path of cultivation based on the natural laws.
The star condensation realm did not need to take any risks yet. However, from the jade star realm onwards, every single natural law would be a serious burden for the inner world.
In other words, the natural laws in the inner world that imitated the real world were like double-edged swords that were swung at oneself. While it could allow the inner world to undergo a further transformation, it would also cause damage due to the natural laws being broken.
Therefore, breaking through from the fusion realm to the star condensation realm and forming the foundation for the inner world determined the potential of the path of the gods. If this foundation was not strong enough, one would die from the damage due to breaking the natural laws.
However, there was a mistake in the city ruler’s judgment. The one who had made a move was not the elders from the source ore shops, but Chen Yiming, who had appeared to steal the loot.
…
“Huff!”
A gust of wind blew past.
The dust dissipated, revealing the flattened ground and a lone figure. The troops from the Heaven Suppressing Army had completely disappeared.
At the same time, Chen Yiming had broken the source ores on the ground. He didn’t waste any of the essence energy inside and converted it all into Skill Points.
Chen Yiming
Talent: Undying Body — Level 6, Giant — Level 5, Space Anchor — Level 4
Level: Star Condensation Realm
Physique: Advanced Undying Giant Body
Sword Spirit
Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 7
Level: Star Condensation Realm
Physique: Advanced Sword Body
Skill points: 15,643,784
“I’ve increased by about 2 million Skill Points. I’m one step closer to the required 30 million Skill Points.”
Chen Yiming nodded in satisfaction.
The reason why there was a clear difference from the 5 million Skill Points he had expected to gain was because the rare source ores were basically all with the other team at the moment.
However, there were many waves of pursuers, so Chen Yiming wasn’t in a hurry. He just had to wait patiently for an opportunity.
Chen Yiming continued to chase after the teams from the source ore shops that had disappeared into the distance.
…
Another day passed by.
The team from the source ore shops changed directions and luckily managed to avoid a few ambushes from the Heaven Suppressing Army.
However, after leaving Heaven Suppressing City and retreating northwest, the general direction they were traveling in was clearly revealed as time passed.
Their destination was the floating canyon, which was now also known to the Heaven Suppressing Army. The pursuit became more and more intense, and they seemed to be determined to kill them along the way.
At the same time, more factions from the Heaven Suppressing City, led by the Heaven Suppressing Army, continued to chase after the teams from the four source ore shops.
There were also factions like the Nine Rivers Sect that were allies of the source ore shops. They sent in reinforcements to help the source ore shops to create fake traces to confuse the pursuers.
In a town in the wilderness, there were dozens of low-rise houses, and the people inside were cautious of outsiders.
The silver-winged woman and the man from the feathered snake clan carried a small number of source ores to attract the attention of the pursuers. They reached a small river that was not too deep and walked straight in.
In order to reach the floating canyon successfully, the factions in the teams from the source ore shops had been forced to split up. Other than the rare source ores, most of the ordinary source ores had also been split up.
“Don’t worry. This town is a supply stronghold for the feathered snake clan.”
The man from the feathered snake clan smiled.
The silver-winged woman nodded.
She did not care about this. The reason why the two of them had formed a team was only because the two clans had a good relationship and they could trust each other for the time being.
After entering the town, after confirming the identity of the man from the feathered snake clan, the cautious gazes quickly disappeared. A snakeman who looked like a butler walked out to receive him.
However, seeing that the two of them were discussing something as they walked, he followed at the side and did not interrupt them.
“After this, do you plan to return to the clan or continue to get involved in this mess to draw away more pursuers from the team from the Seven Stars Source Ore Workshop?” the man from the feathered snake clan asked casually.
“Naturally, we have to have a fight with the generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army,” the silver-winged woman said calmly.
She was not afraid of the pursuers at all. Instead, after she no longer needed to protect the team from the source ore shops, she intended to use this opportunity for her own training.
Usually, even if they met on a normal day, they would usually be wary of each other’s status. For example, the generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army would not fight to the death.
“Snakeman, are you afraid?” the silver-winged woman asked.
“How is that possible? I’m indeed not a match for the person with twin pupils, but the generals of the Heaven Suppressing Army and the other pursuing factions from the Heaven Suppressing City are nothing much to me.”
The man from the feathered snake clan smiled.
He did not seem to be concerned about the rumors that the man from the Nine Rivers Sect had been killed by the Heaven Suppressing Army.
Soon, the silver-winged woman and the man from the feathered snake clan were led by the butler to a restaurant. Those who came were all guests, let alone the genius woman from the silver-winged clan. They treated her with utmost respect.
…
Just as the silver-winged woman and the man from the feathered snake clan walked into the town in the wilderness, dozens of kilometers away, Chen Yiming appeared wearing armor and holding a halberd.
Behind him were hundreds of soldiers from the Heaven Suppressing Army. However, each of these soldiers had a bitter expression on their faces, as if they had nothing left to live for.
The reason for this was because Chen Yiming had killed the general leading the troops and put on the general’s standard equipment.
This was not all. He even forced all the soldiers to follow him and chase after the scattered teams from the source ore shop.
The team from the source ore shop had split up, so Chen Yiming couldn’t directly make a move on the members who had the rare source ores.
Therefore, he could only attack the team carrying the ordinary source ores that were meant to attract the pursuers first. Furthermore, he did not want to be exposed so quickly, so he could only push the blame to the Heaven Suppressing Army.
“Sir, the stronghold of the feather snake clan is ahead,” a captain from the troops pointed out in a trembling voice.
His original intention was to hope that the reputation of the feather snake clan could intimidate the man in front of him. After all, paper could contain a fire. One day, the truth would be revealed.
“Got it. Hurry up,” Chen Yiming nodded and ordered.
He instantly thought of the snakeman at the special gathering. The other party seemed to know Wen Qi.
What puzzled Chen Yiming was that Wen Qi seemed to have disappeared completely. He had not found any traces of her along the way.
When the soldiers of the Heaven Suppressing Army behind him heard this order, some of them almost peed their pants. When they came back to their senses, they cursed under their breath. That captain was too nosy. Why didn’t he restrain himself?
Everyone had seen with their own eyes that a general of the Heaven Suppressing Army was as weak as a lamb in front of this person. He did not have any room to put up a resistance.
In fact, along the way, there were faint rumors that certain troops from the Heaven Suppressing Army mysteriously disappeared. They could not help but suspect that this person was the one who had done it.
Soon, Chen Yiming led this troop of Heaven Suppressing Army soldiers and quickly approached the town.
…
Not long after, the entire town was instantly alarmed. Snakemen came out of the houses one after another.
They did not expect the Heaven Suppressing Army to be so bold as to openly attack the feather snake clan’s resupplying stronghold. It had to be known that this was equivalent to an undeclared war.
Furthermore, it was different from when they were chasing after the geniuses of the feather snake clan. At that time, it was the team from the source ore shops that was their target. Everything else was secondary. In other words, they were taking care of their enemies who were in the way.
The feather snake clan’s sphere of influence was not only limited to the south mountain range. Many of the inhabited planets in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy were within their sphere of influence.
Other than that, there was also a rumor that the feather snake clan in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy was only a branch of a larger clan. Their true clan was extremely powerful, and they were not something that ordinary factions could compare to.
The young genius snakeman walked out of the town with an ugly expression.
After sizing them up, he said to Chen Yiming, who was leading the troops, “Did you bring your troops here because the city ruler wants to start an all-out war with the feather snake clan?”
Chen Yiming, who had led hundreds of soldiers over, also sized up the snakeman and the silver-winged woman behind him.
“He’s probably just a young genius stationed at the base of the feathered snake clan in the abandoned world. He can’t even be considered a true genius. It shouldn’t be a problem to kill him.”
This was what Chen Yiming thought. He had already killed the genius of the Roc Clan, so would he be afraid of an unknown genius from the feathered snake clan? Even if he stood his ground here, he couldn’t take the source ores away.
That’s right. If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame themselves for insisting on taking the source ores that were his target.
The source ores represented essence energy, which was equivalent to Skill Points. Chen Yiming naturally wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.
Seeing this, the snakeman’s expression darkened even more. He had misunderstood that this general from the Heaven Suppressing Army represented that the ruler of the Heaven Suppressing City had shed all pretense of cordiality and was not afraid of starting a war with the feathered snake clan.
In addition, the silver-winged woman represented the silver-winged clan. If he took a step back here, the feathered snake clan would definitely lose face in front of the silver-winged clan.
“Kill!”
The snakeman did not waste any more time. He charged over with a divine artifact, the Golden Snake Sword.
The small scales on the surface of his body could reduce air resistance. As he charged over, his strange wings flapped and he turned into a stream of light.
The divine weapon, the Golden Snake Sword, in his hand pierced through the air at a speed faster than light. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Heaven Suppression Army, they could only see a flash of golden light. Its speed was too fast.
“He’s just a general from the Heaven Suppressing Army. The snakeman should be fine,”
the silver-winged woman thought to herself.
The feathered snake clan was also good at speed, but their technique was different from the silver-winged clan. The silver-winged clan’s speed was based on their movement speed, while the feathered snake clan’s speed was based on their attack speed.
Furthermore, the soldiers of the Heaven Suppressing Army had yet to set up a barrier to help their general in the fight. It was only a one-on-one battle.
In such a situation, if she interfered, she would be looking down on him as a genius. There was a high chance that she would make the snakeman unhappy.
“Boom!”
Faced with the snakeman’s attack, Chen Yiming held the halberd in his hand and exerted his strength casually, landing a strike on the golden light that was flying towards him.
The snakeman’s figure was stopped and suddenly appeared in the air. The divine artifact, the Golden Snake Sword, in his hand was extremely sharp, and it actually pierced through the halberd.
However, his face was red, and he was clearly not just trying to test the waters. Instead, he had used all his strength, but it was useless even with the advantage of the divine artifact.
“You’re too weak.”
Chen Yiming smiled disdainfully. He exerted a little force, and with a bang, the snakeman was sent flying back.
In addition, the powerful force almost caused the snakeman to fall to the ground. At the last moment, he spun a few times in the air before stabilizing himself and landing on the ground.
In order to put on a pretense, Chen Yiming didn’t unleash his overwhelming strength.
“This Heaven Suppressing Army general is rather strong!”
The snakeman’s expression was extremely ugly. The light between his wings had dimmed a lot, and he could not calm down even after taking a deep breath.
He did not expect that he, who was known as a genius, would be sent flying in a head-on collision. He had lost face by being sent back to his original spot.
“This…”
Seeing this, the faces of the soldiers from the Heaven Suppressing Army twitched.
Previously, their boss had been reduced to ashes with a single strike. At this moment, he was deliberately hiding his strength. After this, the source ores would be taken by this person, but the Heaven Suppressing Army would take the blame.
However, it was too late to step forward and expose him. If they spoke up, they would definitely be killed instantly. It was like they were being cuckolded but could only watch helplessly as the blame fell to them.
