The expression of the late Overgod who had comprehended the Laws of Wind at the very front changed drastically. Even though he was one of the few late Overgods in the group, he would probably become heavily injured if he had to face the attacks of several dozen experts at the same time. He might even die here.
This was because a few of the attacks came from other late Overgods.
The liquid rock was precious, but no matter how precious it was, it was insignificant compared to his life. At that moment, the person who had comprehended the Laws of Wind had also comprehended the Laws of Wind.
The late Overgod at the very front did not hesitate at all. He immediately gave up on the idea of taking the liquid rock. With a single movement, he left behind an afterimage where he was, appearing several hundred meters away, dodging the attacks.
With his departure, the people at the very front became Yang Kai, Master Chanlong, and the five other late Overgods. The seven of them basically moved at the same time, charging towards the liquid rock with lightning speed.
The liquid rock was effective on Overgods as well. What truly caught their attention was the liquid rock's ability to increase comprehension. This was because an increase in comprehension would be extremely beneficial to comprehending the laws of the world, allowing them to achieve twice the results with half the effort. If they were lucky, they might even be able to use it to reach the level of the Divine King.
It was just that Stalactite Milk was very rare, and its price was extremely high. Almost all of them were monopolized by those large clans and sects that were far more powerful than them, so it was very difficult for them to buy it. At this moment, such a large basin of Stalactite Milk had appeared here, so they were naturally very moved.
In their eyes, the liquid rock was an opportunity for them to reach the level of the Divine King. Even though the chances were very slim, it was still fatally attractive to them.
Powerful origin energy and pulses of laws wreaked havoc in the surroundings. The several dozen mid and early Overgods behind all struck out at that moment as well. They sent powerful attacks towards the seven late Overgods at the very front in an attempt to stop them.
Ling Tianhou struck out as well. He swung his sword and sent out a huge sword Qi that directly shot towards Master Chanlong.
The situation was chaotic. At a moment like this, no one cared about whether you were a mid or late Overgod. All they cared about was the great benefits and the temptation of the liquid rock.
The seven Overgods at the very front all used their protective treasures to block the attacks from behind. They did not slow down at all and instead sped up. A formation disc appeared above Master Chanlong's head. It was immediately activated, forming a powerful defensive formation that protected him. The formation continued to envelop him, moving with him.
With a string of heavy sounds, the attacks from the several dozen Overgods landed on the seven late Overgods at the very front, causing their protective treasures and formations to dim. Aside from Master Chanlong, the others all paled. Every single one of them had received attacks from several experts at the same level as them. Even with protective treasures, it was very difficult for them to remain unscathed.
However, the seven late Overgods did not slow down at all after receiving the attack from behind. Instead, they converted the force of the attack into forward momentum, moving even faster. They arrived before the stone basin with the stalactites in a single instance.
However, the basin was only the size of a washbasin, while there were seven of them. It was impossible for the basin to hold so many people. As a result, in order for them to approach the basin and collect the liquid rock, they all struck out at the same time. They attacked the people beside them in an attempt to force back their competitors.
When an Overgod struck out, it caused a great disturbance. When the terrifying ripples of energy swept towards the stone basin with the stalactites, the ordinary stone basin immediately shattered. The milky-white stalactites were blown into the air by the turbulent streams of energy, turning into over a hundred balls of milky-white liquid of various sizes. As the ripples of energy spread out, they scattered in all directions like flowers scattered by a goddess.
"Hurry up and grab the liquid rock! It belongs to whoever grabs it!"
Someone cried out. At that moment, no one paid any more attention to the late Overgods. They all scattered in all directions as their eyes burned with desire. They chased after the scattered stalactites as quickly as they could. Various jade bottles appeared in their hands as well.
The late Overgod who had comprehended the Laws of Wind was the fastest. No one could match him in terms of speed. In the blink of an eye, he collected three balls of liquid rock, which amounted to over twenty droplets.
Jianchen looked around as well, and his eyes narrowed very soon. He was overjoyed. Two balls of liquid rock, one large and one small, flew straight towards him.
Three Overgods rapidly approached the two balls of liquid rock from behind. To no surprise, their targets were the two balls of liquid rock as well.
Jianchen charged over without any hesitation. He pushed his speed to the limit, and with a flip of his hand, a jade bottle appeared. He directly sucked the two balls of liquid rock into it.
The eyes of the three Overgods who originally wanted to collect the two balls of liquid rock turned cold. They glared at Jianchen, but they did not collect the other balls of liquid rock. Instead, they continued in the same direction, directly surrounding Jianchen.
They had their eyes on the larger ball of liquid rock that Jianchen had collected. Just that one ball was equivalent to four or five balls of liquid rock.
A cold light flickered through Jianchen's eyes when he sensed their actions. With a thought, two strands of Profound Sword Qi immediately appeared, radiating with surging sword Qi. The sword Qi was so powerful that all the Overgods present raised their eyebrows. They looked at Jianchen with a sliver of fear.
It had already been a year since Jianchen last used the Profound Sword Qi. During that year, the power of Jianchen's soul had recovered to its peak, so he could use the two strands of Profound Sword Qi again.
With the appearance of the Profound Sword Qi, the expressions of the three Overgods who charged towards Jianchen suddenly changed. They all came to a halt as fear filled their eyes.
Two of the three Overgods were early Overgods, while one was a mid Overgod. However, as Jianchen used the Profound Sword Qi, they no longer dared to approach Jianchen.
Jianchen did not shoot out the Profound Sword Qi. Instead, he tossed it above his head to deter the people in the surroundings. Afterwards, he clasped his hands at the three Overgods and said, "I only want these two balls of liquid rock. There's still some liquid rock in the surroundings that hasn't been collected. If you keep wasting time here, you might end up empty-handed."
The three Overgods secretly weighed the pros and cons. In the end, they did not take the risk of stealing from Jianchen. They split up and went to collect the remaining liquid rock in the surroundings.
In just a few seconds, the basin of liquid rock had been emptied out. Naturally, the late Overgods had collected the most. In particular, the late Overgod who had comprehended the Laws of Wind seemed to have collected around fifty droplets.
Of course, not everyone benefited. There were still a few weaker Overgods who were empty-handed. They failed to collect a single droplet, and they were even heavily injured when they fought for the liquid rock. Their faces were pale right now.
The Overgods who had been injured by Godking Duanmu's sword Qi were still injured, so they ended up empty-handed when they fought for the stalactites. Their faces were all extremely sunken.
Jianchen stowed the jade bottle of liquid rock away in satisfaction. Although he had not obtained a lot of liquid rock, he was still very satisfied with around twenty droplets.
He understood that the only way he could deal with Overgods was with Profound Sword Qi. If he shot out both strands of Profound Sword Qi, he would not be the Overgod's opponent at all. It was already quite impressive for him to be able to collect around twenty droplets.
