Chapter 1645 Another Heavy Water Alien Stronghold Destroyed
The old man withered tree coughed and forcibly changed the subject: "Gentlemen, the situation is beyond our control now. How about this, we can turn a blind eye to what has happened, and even provide some information about the situation and resource distribution in this area." He deliberately emphasized the word "convenience".
"And the price?" Elder Ni Yuan Tianhe asked indifferently.
Li Gang grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth: "Simple! I can tell that you fellow Daoists have extraordinary auras, and you must come from a prosperous land. We live a hard life here and lack some cultivation resources, especially treasures that can stabilize our Dao foundation and resist the erosion of this place's filth, or things that can enhance our bargaining power with the Holy Clan."
His gaze swept intently over the crowd, especially lingering on Zhang Xuan and several Mahayana cultivators.
Both sides understood each other without saying a word.
These eight slave Mahayana cultivators intended to use the presence of Zhang Xuan and others to demonstrate the external threat to the Chongshui alien race, thereby demanding more resources and even seeking greater autonomy.
Zhang Xuan and his group also needed intelligence and to understand the current situation of the Central Ancestral Vein.
What followed was an extremely hypocritical exchange, each person harboring their own ulterior motives.
A silent deal was struck.
Xuanjizi removed the Dao principle that concealed the secrets of heaven and cause and effect, and the two sides began a "battle".
Xuanjizi and the others indeed went through the motions but didn't put in much effort, exchanging a few token blows with the Ghost Emperor and his group.
The clash of laws appeared intense, but in reality, it was all bark and no bite. The energy was controlled perfectly, demonstrating strength while avoiding real casualties.
Ghost King and others were "forced" to hand over some of the precious pills and materials that could purify energy that they had brought from the Dragon Spine Divine Realm.
Having benefited from the situation, Xuanjizi and the others' attitudes noticeably softened.
The transaction is complete, and the intelligence has been obtained.
Xuanji Zi and his men fought for a long time without success, and finally withdrew with their subordinates in a "sullen" manner, giving the Ghost Emperor a "warning" before leaving.
Watching the eight Mahayana monks walk away, everyone remained silent.
"A bunch of parasites!" the leader of the Burning Heaven Holy Sect spat.
“It’s pitiful, lamentable, and hateful,” the Palace Master of Yuanliu Dao Palace said quietly.
The Ghost Emperor looked at Zhang Xuan: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, what news have you received..."
Everyone sensed something was amiss with Zhang Xuan's persistent questioning about the Mahayana cultivators of the Central Ancestral Lineage.
Now that things had come to this, Zhang Xuan recounted his first visit to the Central Ancestral Vein to everyone.
Everyone was shocked to hear this.
True immortal! That's a legendary realm!
It was one thing for this fellow Daoist Zhang's son-in-law to become a true immortal, but unexpectedly, his son, who was born in the central ancestral vein, also became a true immortal.
Is the Zhang family's ancestral grave emitting auspicious smoke?
It's practically a paradise on earth!
Zhang Xuan grabbed two strong legs.
Along the way, everyone's respect for Zhang Xuan only increased!
After feigning friendship with the eight "fellow clansmen" who were also Mahayana cultivators, Zhang Xuan and his group, based on the situation, identified another stronghold of the alien race located underground in the heavy water—the Dark Current Abyss.
This place is rich in an eighth-order spiritual ore called Netherworld Marrow Crystal, which is a top-grade material for strengthening the soul and cultivating certain Yin-attribute supernatural abilities.
The underground space of the Dark Abyss is vast and boundless, with stalactites and stalagmites standing tall, but it has long been transformed beyond recognition by the heavy water alien race, becoming a strange and bizarre underground world.
Countless viscous black fungal carpets covered the rock walls, emitting a faint phosphorescent glow.
This underground world is interconnected, filled with the dull hum of mining and the shouts of overseers.
The air was filled with a strong stench of blood and the chilling energy fluctuations unique to the Netherworld Marrow Crystal.
"The guarding force consists of one late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Heavy Water race, three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from the Heavy Water race, approximately two hundred Nascent Soul and Void Refinement cultivators from the Heavy Water race, and over ten thousand Nascent Soul cultivators and below." The Ghost Emperor quickly made his judgment. "A swift and decisive battle is needed. Prioritize controlling the central hub and block any calls for reinforcements."
Swift as lightning!
Everyone worked together seamlessly.
The Ghost King's Netherworld Domain unfolded silently, enveloping the entrance and isolating the inside from the outside.
The Palace Master of the Source Flow Palace stirred up the underground currents, transforming them into an invisible water lock that entangled the heavy water alien race in the late stage of the Integration Realm.
The Supreme Elder of the Reverse Primordial Heavenly River's power of time interfered with the perception of time throughout the cave, causing the Heavy Water Alien Clan to react a beat slower.
Zhang Xuan did not manifest the complete Great Dao Tree, but instead concentrated his power on the side branches of the Space Tree and the Gravity Source Core.
His figure moved like a ghost, traversing the intricate caverns, with space folding beneath his feet.
Wherever it passed, the heavy water alien races often had no time to react before being crushed into flattened discs by the sudden collapse of space or tens of thousands of times the gravity, greatly reducing even their chances of splitting apart.
Zhan Wushuang's spatial sword is even more formidable. Wherever the sword light passes, whether it is a hard rock wall or the body of an alien race, it is smoothly cut open, and the space at the cut is disordered and difficult to heal.
Huang Quanlingyu, the chief of the Feather God Guard, was tasked with eliminating the leaders of the Heavy Water alien race who attempted to release alarm signals.
Under the surprise attack, the defenses of the Dark Current Abyss collapsed rapidly.
Like tigers among sheep, the group quickly cleared out the remaining resistance while heading straight for the core of the mineral vein and the storage vault at the deepest part of the cave.
The storage room is located at the bottom of the cave, guarded by a huge black fleshy sac.
After the flesh sac was forcibly broken open, the mountain of resources inside moved even the most knowledgeable Mahayana practitioners.
Besides the vast amount of Netherworld Marrow Crystals, there are also various strange treasures nurtured in extremely polluted environments, including the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Eating Mushroom, Abyss Cold Iron, Thousand Illusion Jellyfish Essence, Earth Vein Blood Marrow... and many other rare treasures.
Although its attributes are somewhat yin and evil, the laws and energy it contains are of an extremely high level. For cultivators at the Integration and Mahayana stages, it is a priceless treasure with a little processing.
Everyone took what they needed and quickly divided it up.
Zhang Xuan mainly collected materials containing spatial fluctuations, chaotic energy, and materials that could be used to comprehend the Golden Crow Reincarnation Law.
While everyone was busy reaping the spoils of war, Tian Yezi, a cultivator who had been silently following along, turned his burning gaze toward the divided Heavy Water alien race.
“This place…this place is simply a natural forge!” he murmured to himself, his voice trembling with excitement.
Tianyezi drove the millions of weak and weak heavy water aliens into a naturally formed depression in the center of the cave.
At the bottom of the pit, one could vaguely see naturally formed, twisted runes, indicating that it was originally some kind of ancient altar.
Then, Tianyezi sat cross-legged on the edge of the altar and took out the weapon-forging furnace that he regarded as his life.
As the immortal runes appeared, Tianyezi's aura surged. Although he was still at the Refinement stage, the power of the laws he invoked underwent a qualitative change!
He suddenly sprayed his own blood essence onto the Myriad Souls Furnace, and the painful faces on the furnace body seemed to come alive, emitting silent wails.
"Using countless lives as fuel, the deathly aura of the netherworld as fire, and immortal runes as the catalyst, the furnace of purgatory is here!"
boom--
The entire cave shook violently!
Within the crater, the mountain of weak, heavy water aliens instantly transformed into towering black flames!
The flames had no heat; instead, they radiated extreme cold and deathly stillness. Countless twisted faces struggled and wailed within the flames!
