Chapter 441: Great Reward
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After killing the woman with one strike, Chen Yiming turned to the remaining three middle-aged men.
The woman was undoubtedly an important figure from the Illusion Sect who had received the news and rushed over with reinforcements. Other than the woman, there were also three middle-aged men who had come over to provide support.
“The three of you, retreat first,” the white-bearded elder shouted.
The three middle-aged men turned into three streams of light almost instantly and retreated in three different directions.
Even in the Heaven Suppressing City, the gods at the star condensation realm were esteemed guests no matter where they went. However, at this moment, they were like birds frightened by the twang of a bow. They were as powerless as ordinary creatures facing a natural disaster.
In fact, when the woman was crushed into dust along with her inner world, the scene of their own impending deaths had already appeared in their minds.
Too strong!
He was really too strong!
They had thought that he was just a pawn investigating the situation, so they did not expect him to be such a terrifying person.
In the next moment, “Bang! Bang! Bang!”
In the span of a breath, the three middle-aged men were also reduced to dust and killed in the Pearl of Illusion.
There was dead silence.
The white-bearded elder’s nostrils trembled, but he could only watch helplessly as everything happened.
When faced with the true teleportation speed of spatial ability users and the fact that he could not use the power of the world to completely control the this illusory space,
it might not be a problem for him to protect himself, but he was unable to guarantee anyone else’s safety. In the end, three more people at the star condensation realm died in succession.
Due to the large number of source ores produced in the abandoned world, it attracted the attention of many factions in the surrounding galaxies, including the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. This planet was often jokingly called the place where gods could be found everywhere.
However, within a faction, even among the large clans that had a sphere of influence that spanned across the galaxy, the weakest gods at the star condensation realm were still at the middle or higher levels of the organization.
For the Illusion Sect, four gods at the star condensation realm had died at once. Although the woman could not be considered a true genius, she was still a talented person with the potential to reach the jade star realm. It could be said that they had suffered heavy losses.
“The Illusion Sect has already taken the initiative to take a step back. Who exactly are you?”
The white-bearded elder suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew very well that he couldn’t defeat his opponent alone. He had already categorized Chen Yiming as a top genius.
“If you want to blame someone, blame your faction for monopolizing the supply of too many rare source ores. You know that if cultivation resources can’t be completely converted into your own strength, you will only bring about trouble for yourself.”
Chen Yiming pretended to be related to the Infinite Island Group and threw the blame on them.
“Trouble? If you want to frame someone, why don’t you just say so? Our Illusion Sect stopped expanding our business in the source ores a year ago. It’s clearly an excuse to steal the profits we have accumulated over the years.”
The white-bearded elder glared at him.
The faction called the Infinite Island Group was not really located on a fixed island, but a war fortress that could do whatever it wanted in the space-travel distortion.
Its reputation in the abandoned world could be described as infamous, but this did not stop the Infinite Island Group from gathering many factions to target the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop.
The factions behind the source ore shops had monopolized most of the source ore experts and controlled most of the transactions involving the source ores. They had long been monopolizing this delicious piece of meat. Even without the lead of the Infinite Island Group, there would still be other factions taking the lead.
This was the situation in the abandoned world after the matter of searching for the true dragon’s corpse was blown up. It was not something that any one person could control. Many factions even added fuel to the fire and secretly followed behind.
The two of them fell silent.
After Chen Yiming heard about the operation by the Infinite Island Group in the secret warehouse of the Water Moon Source Ore Workshop, he realized that there was a faction that had the same thoughts as him and Gao Shuai.
There was a problem with a large number of source ores in the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop. Now that it had caused a commotion in the abandoned world, there were many more competitors.
However, although the white-bearded elder was angry, he did not reveal much valuable information.
“Boom!”
Chen Yiming didn’t waste any more time. He teleported in front of the white-bearded elder and wanted to silence all those who knew about the battle in the Pearl of Illusion.
“Even if I have to destroy the Pearl of Illusion today, I won’t let you have your way.”
The white-bearded elder was furious. In an instant, three illusions appeared around him. The moment Chen Yiming’s figure appeared, he was surrounded from all directions.
At the same time, four streams of white light shot towards Chen Yiming. The speed that the white light was moving was extremely fast. In reality, they were divine weapons in the form of small swords that had been created in the inner world.
This was the special thing about the power of the god of illusion from the Illusion Sect. None of the four white lights were fake. The power of the god of illusion could even completely replicate a divine artifact in a short period of time.
“Boom!”
The white light drowned out the figures of the two people in the battle.
The space in the Pearl of Illusion suddenly shook, and countless cracks appeared. From the outside, if not for the white fog, one would have noticed that something was amiss.
The outcome of the battle between the two of them was not immediately decided.
In the blink of an eye, the space in the Pearl of Illusion shook violently again. Just the aftershock of the battle was already causing the world to gradually collapse.
The Pearl of Illusion wasn’t meant to deal with someone like Chen Yiming. The power of the world in his body was even more terrifying than that of a real living world.
The white fog that could interfere with the power of the world was easily destroyed. In the end, it became a cage for the white-bearded elder.
Gradually, the illusions were destroyed as soon as they appeared, and his true body was attacked many times. Blood covered the sky, and a painful sound which was the voice of the white-bearded elder echoed throughout the space.
…
“Crack!”
A figure passed through the remaining white fog and arrived at the corner of the illusory space in the Pearl of Illusion where the source ores were stored.
The Illusion Source Ore Workshop had already made preparations. They had separated out a small portion of the illusory space to store the source ores to prevent the aftershock of the battle with the intruders from affecting the source ores.
“It’s similar to the ruler of the Flying Cloud Planet. He’s someone at the jade star realm who doesn’t have a good physical condition to begin with.”
Chen Yiming recalled the battle earlier and keenly realized that the white-bearded elder couldn’t use his full strength, causing his inner world to collapse in the end.
Could it be that these old men at the jade star realm more or less had some physical problems? Were those who were truly healthy searching for source ores in the forbidden death zone?
Was it a problem for those at the jade star realm, or did he just happen to encounter the same situation twice in a row?
In other words, the path of cultivation of a god was to come into contact with the essence of the natural laws. Chen Yiming had a rough understanding of this.
However, because he was only standing at the starting point of the path of gods — the star condensation realm — and was not from a true large cultivation faction, his understanding of the jade star realm was extremely limited.
Another important reason was that he had not truly understood the true essence of the realm and cultivated step by step to reach this point.
The talent level given by the system was more than sufficient at his current level. Therefore, there was a situation where he would automatically break through as soon as he leveled up.
“Perhaps I’ll understand after breaking through to the jade star realm.”
Chen Yiming decided not to probe further and focused his attention on the source ores from the Illusion Source Ore Workshop.
The source ores stored in this corner of the space in the Pearl of Illusion were different from the previous Water Moon Source Ore Workshop. Ordinary source ores and rare source ores were hidden here together.
In any case, it was all essence energy. Chen Yiming only cared about the quantity, not the quantity of each source ore. All the source ores that contained essence energy would be converted into Skill Points by the system.
…
A few minutes later.
Chen Yiming’s expression darkened as he appeared on an ordinary street in the Heaven Suppressing City.
It was not without reason that the Illusion Source Ore Workshop had made use of the Pearl of Illusion to set up such a formation to openly warn all the spies.
When there were enough source ores, under normal circumstances, the probability of obtaining essence energy from them should not be much different. A small fluctuation could be understood as a difference in the level of an expert’s ability to select the source ores.
However, compared to the source ores from the Water Moon Source Ore Workshop, the amount of essence energy obtained from the Illusion Source Ore Workshop was less than a third.
Chen Yiming didn’t believe that there was anything fishy about it. The source ore experts must have used some unknown method to secretly trick those who were gambling on the source ores.
If something happened to the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop, the Illusion Source Ore Workshop was also afraid that they would be implicated. That was why they had put on such a strong stance. It was so serious that the woman wanted to bring him to the Illusion Sect to look through his memories.
In the end, Chen Yiming could only sigh to himself that he hadn’t chosen the right target for the second shop. Not only had he wasted his time, but he had also obtained less essence energy than his first target.
“The Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop was taken down so quickly?”
After observing the situation in Heaven Suppressing City again, he realized that the barrier surrounding the team from the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop had already disappeared, and the commotion had completely died down.
At the same time, Chen Yiming keenly noticed that the Heaven Suppressing City had become heavily guarded. Many gazes were scanning the streets.
These gazes seemed to be searching for those who had escaped, or monitoring the situation in the city. In short, if anyone acted strangely at this time, they would be easily noticed.
“Let’s walk over to the next source ore shop and check out the situation.”
Chen Yiming suppressed the thought of using the space anchor to teleport over. He walked along the street like a normal passerby.
Not long after, a gaze landed on Chen Yiming for a moment before shifting to another passerby.
“They should be secretly checking the information of the people who were not in their system. It’s unlikely that they suspect me.”
Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged as he pretended not to notice the gaze.
This was quickly confirmed. The Heaven Suppressing City seemed to have a special method of communication. Along the way, there were no more similar gazes that landed on him.
…
In front of the South Palace Source Ore Workshop, two statues of three-eyed generals stood on either side of the door.
Many muscular city guards surrounded the entire source ore shop. They allowed people to watch from afar, but they did not allow anyone to approach.
In addition, a faint smell of blood wafted out of the source ore shop. One could tell at a glance that something had happened to the South Palace Source Ore Workshop.
Chen Yiming, who had blended into the crowd, frowned. “Who made a move to attack the South Palace Source Ore Workshop before me? Since there are city guards here, could it have something to do with the internal affairs in the Heaven Suppressing City?”
After coming into contact with the Water Moon Source Ore Workshop and the Illusion Source Ore Workshop, how could he not understand that the city’s ruler’s faction was also involved?
Otherwise, the team from the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop would not have been surrounded in the city. They had completely left them in the lurch.
At this moment, low voices sounded from the side.
“How could something have happened to the South Palace Source Ore Workshop?”
“Indeed, the South Palace Sect is not a pure human clan, but they are known as the three-eyed gods. Every sect member is born with astonishing perceptual abilities. Be it cultivation techniques or exploring dangerous places, there is nothing they are not good at.”
“Do you think someone is spying on the South Palace Sect’s treasure? Could it be that they took advantage of the fact that the team from the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop had attracted everyone’s attention to launch a surprise attack?”
“That’s a possibility. After all, the most important thing in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy is to find the corpse of the true dragon. The South Palace Sect’s Heavenly Eye belongs to the perception type of spiritual talent. It’s normal for others to be interested in it.”
“However, since they’re not of the South Palace Sect’s bloodline, can this Heavenly Eye really unleash its original power after being transplanted? Furthermore, can they really retrieve the intact Heavenly Eye?”
“This is nothing. The universe is huge, and there are all kinds of special physiques. Perhaps the factions interested in the Heavenly Eye have found a way to resolve these problems.”
Chen Yiming listened patiently.
The topic of discussion among the people around him could not be separated from ‘Heavenly Eye’. They did not think that the faction the ruler of the city belonged to had secretly made a move, which was different from what he had guessed earlier.
“If the ‘Heavenly Eye’ was stolen by someone, it makes sense that the Heaven Suppressing City is searching for the murderer.”
Chen Yiming thought about it and gave up on his plan to attack the other source ore shops. He didn’t want to attract their attention for nothing. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
Besides, now that he heard that the Water Moon Group behind the Water Moon Source Ore Workshop had the intention to curry favor with Gao Shuai, it meant that Gao Shuai would not be too far away.
Even if he was not in a hurry to meet up with Gao Shuai, since the Infinite Island Group was targeting the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop, the factions behind the source ore shops were thrown into chaos and he would have more opportunities to obtain the source ores in the future.
Chen Yiming didn’t rush things. As long as he didn’t reveal that he had some special technique, no one would be able to think of a way to guard against him if he could suck dry the essence energy inside the source ores without any abnormalities appearing on the surface.
Footsteps sounded from the South Palace Source Ore Workshop from time to time.
Clearly, the people inside had not finished their work on gathering the clues.
Chen Yiming retracted his gaze and started to see what his rewards were.
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: 13,256,743
When the system interface appeared in front of him, he gasped. “This is too much. Instead of aiming at the star spirits, I should just have come directly to the abandoned world.”
At this moment, more than 13 million Skill Points were shown on the interface.
Although the 30 million Skill Points requirement needed to upgrade any of his talents was not met yet, he was not far from it. He could just steal the essence energy from two more source ore shops to reach that amount.
“This is only the essence energy brought by two of the source ore workshops in Heaven Suppressing City. I wonder how many large cities there are around the forbidden death zone?”
Chen Yiming automatically ignored the fact that most of the essence energy he had obtained came from rare source ores.
In reality, for ordinary source ores, not only was the probability of them containing essence energy low, but the amount of essence energy within a single source ore was also quite limited. Even if one relied on quantity, it would be difficult to make up for it.
In addition, every piece of rare source ore that appeared in any of the source ore workshops in the city would cause a commotion. Countless people would come to see it. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢
In other words, if all the source ore shops in Heaven Suppressing City were wiped out by Chen Yiming, it would take countless years for them to recover unless the factions behind the source ore workshops transferred their goods to other large cities.
