"Let's go. I want to see who it was that stole the peak grade spirit vein."
A smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face as he took the lead.
As long as it was not Di Wuque who obtained it, it would be fine. Since the Muddy Sky Gate obtained it, Xiao Chen could use his relationship with Qi Wuxue to observe it in the future.
Xiao Chen was extremely interested in the Spatial Dao contained in the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting. Of course, the most important thing right now was the hundred Peak Spirit Veins.
Most of the roaming dragons formed by the one hundred Peak Spirit Veins in the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland had already been subdued. However, the heat did not decrease. Not many people left.
The cultivators who managed to obtain Peak Spirit Veins by luck were very confident. They wanted to obtain a few more. Very few people were satisfied.
Those who didn't manage to obtain a Peak Grade Spirit Vein were naturally even more anxious, and they racked their brains to find a Peak Grade Spirit Vein.
Immortal artifacts had nothing to do with them, so they could not compete for them. However, the Blue Robed Emperor was not interested in top-grade spirit veins. Furthermore, there were many of them, so they had to compete for them.
Peng, the ground exploded, and Xiao Chen's group of three appeared on flat ground.
"We're finally out. I wonder if Di Wuque and Tianyou Xi have left yet." At this moment, not only had Ye Chen recovered to his peak state, but his strength had also soared significantly by relying on the Cycle Banner's Qi of Massacre, Death, and Ruin.
Right now, he was brimming with confidence, and he could not wait to have a great battle with Di Wuque.
Xiao Chen also felt a sense of heroism in his heart as he said, "Old Jiu, lead the way. This time, we will kill our way there in an upright manner."
Lord Jiu sniffed twice. Then, he raised his head and laughed, "Coincidentally, there are two targets one hundred and fifty kilometers to the north. I remember that they seemed to have obtained a Peak Spirit Vein not long ago."
"Go!"
Without saying anything more, the three of them immediately headed north. Along the way, Lord Jiu was very excited. He had long since wanted to make a move. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough, so he could only watch.
With Lord Jiu leading the way, the target had no chance of escaping. One hour later, the target appeared before the three of them.
However, all Xiao Chen could see were two corpses. The spatial rings on their hands were still there, but the Peak Spirit Vein was nowhere to be found.
Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Who is it? How could he kill two grandmaster-level Martial Sages so quickly? We chased him all the way here."
Xiao Chen bent down and checked the cause of death of the two corpses. There were no visible wounds on the surface. There was only a palm print on each of their chests. Their ribs were not broken, but their internal organs had all been shattered. They died in an instant.
"A great grandmaster-level Martial Sage made a move," Xiao Chen said with a grave expression.
Even among grandmaster-level Martial Sages, there were differences in strength. Most grandmaster-level Martial Sages only had higher cultivations than Superior Grade Martial Sages. As for the air of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage, they only had a basic understanding of it.
At the level of the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders, with the accumulation of time, one or two centuries, their understanding of the Martial Dao would increase.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen's cultivation was incredibly deep. When he attacked, he could bring great pressure to others. He could integrate all the Martial Techniques he had learned and modify them to suit himself.
Above that would be the level of the Haotian Sect's Han Qinghe. Not only were his cultivations deep, but he had also grasped the air of a grandmaster.
With a raise of his hand, he could bring out a hundred and twenty percent of the might of any Martial Technique he had learned. He was known as a great grandmaster.
These people could establish their own sect and leave behind their own inheritance for a thousand years. If they had a fortuitous encounter, they could soar to the heavens in one step, becoming an influential person on the level of the Blue Robed Emperor.
The person who killed these two people was a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage.
Ye Chen analyzed, "Normally speaking, the great grandmaster-level Martial Sages of the various sects have their own things to do. Peak Spirit Veins are useless to them. They can use the Holy Spirit Veins of their sects at any time. The one who did this was probably a loose cultivator."
Lord Jiu's lips twitched as he said, "Which old fellow is so shameless? For the sake of one or two Peak Spirit Veins, he is not afraid of ruining his reputation."
Great grandmaster-level Martial Sages were people only one step away from ascending to the heavens. If word of such actions spread, it would not be good.
Xiao Chen stood up and said, "One or two Peak Spirit Veins are not worth him making a move. He is like us, probably trying to pocket one hundred Peak Spirit Veins."
"That's impossible. Aside from this Lord Jiu, who else could remember who obtained the Spirit Veins and the smell of these people?" Lord Jiu said, unconvinced. "Even a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage would not be able to do that."
"Never mind. Just continue leading the way. Let's not worry about this for now. However, we need to be prepared to clash with a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage. "
As they continued forward, Lord Jiu sniffed the air and revealed a smile on his face. He had found another target.
However, this time, they were too late. All they saw was a corpse and nothing.
"Damn, I'm too late again." The result of the third target was the same. Someone else took away the Peak Spirit Vein before them again.
The corpses on the ground were all killed in one strike. Needless to say, there had to be a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage with the same target as them.
Xiao Chen's expression turned cold. After thinking for a while, he unfurled the Freedom Wings. Xiao Chen's body became as light as the wind. Crystalline, pure-white feathers drifted down from his body.
"Lord Jiu, point me in a direction. Even if it is a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, I have to fight for it today."
Xiao Chen looked in the direction Lord Jiu pointed. A scene appeared before him, then froze.
Xiao Chen took a step forward, carrying Lord Jiu and Ye Chen across fifty kilometers. The space behind him scattered, forming a wondrous scene.
This time, no one got ahead of them. Of the five targets, only one was a grandmaster-level Martial Sage.
There was no need for Xiao Chen to make a move. Ye Chen, who had grown much stronger, fully executed his Massacre saber Dao within one hundred moves and killed this person, snatching away the Peak Spirit Vein's origin.
Lord Jiu smiled widely and quickly put away the spatial rings of the five. Ye Chen handed the Peak Spirit Vein to Xiao Chen for safekeeping.
Xiao Chen spread his wings and flew away, quickly bringing the three away from this place.
After a while, an old man in azure-colored robes landed. As he moved, he exuded an air of elegance, exuding a natural aura.
If Lord Jiu were here, he would recognize this person. This azure-robed old man was Zhuang Zhenghe, who was ranked tenth on the Primal Chaos Domain's Evil Cultivator Ranking. His ancient Buddhist Palm Technique had reached perfection, reaching an unimaginable height.
Zhuang Zhenghe looked at the corpses on the ground and frowned slightly. However, he did not care. The Heavenly Ruin Wasteland was chaotic in the first place. Killing for treasures was a common occurrence.
More importantly, even if someone snatched away the Spirit Veins, it did not matter. They would end up in his hands sooner or later.
Zhuang Zhenghe had an incomplete Secret Treasure called the Armillary Sphere. As long as the Spirit Vein left the ground, it could sense it within two hundred and fifty kilometers.
Normally, this Secret Treasure was of little value. However, it was now very useful in the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland.
The instant the one hundred Peak Spirit Veins flew out, Zhuang Zhenghe made up his mind to collect all one hundred Peak Spirit Veins.
"This time, the heavens are helping me. After collecting one hundred Peak Spirit Veins, I will have the capital to go to the Heavenly Starry Ocean and establish my own sect. I will obtain great Luck and become Emperor Wu's disciple!"
However, after that, the situation of others getting ahead of him happened. Zhuang Zhenghe's face sank as he took out the Armillary Sphere and infused it with surging Law Energy.
Most of the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland immediately fell within the range of the Armillary Sphere. Zhuang Zhenghe saw spots of spiritual light on the Armillary Sphere. Each spot represented a Peak Spirit Vein.
Zhuang Zhenghe looked around and discovered ten-odd spots densely packed together in the Armillary Sphere. Soon, he understood what was going on.
"Haha! It turns out that there is someone else with the same idea as me. With your help, I can save a lot of time."
Zhuang Zhenghe laughed loudly and put away the Armillary Sphere.
The battle with the Blue Robed Emperor had caused spatial tears to appear everywhere in the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland. Several hidden restrictions had been activated as well.
As a result, Zhuang Zhenghe's efficiency dropped significantly. Naturally, it was great that he had someone to help.
On the other side, Xiao Chen unfurled the Freedom Wings and continuously executed So Close Yet Worlds Apart. His efficiency increased significantly, and no one managed to get ahead of him.
After two days, he had collected more than twenty top-grade spirit veins. Such a harvest made Ye Chen feel embarrassed. When he thought about his actions in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, they were simply small skirmishes, not worth mentioning.
On the fourth day, the three finally met with a strong enemy.
After Xiao Chen tricked the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders and the Black Mountain Four Bandits in the heavenly palace, they actually worked together. During this time, they had also collected many Peak Spirit Veins.
"Xiao Chen, you are really bold. To think that you dare to appear before us." The hemp-robed old man watched as Xiao Chen leaped through layers of space and appeared before them. Then, he stared at the Freedom Wings on Xiao Chen's back with a fervent gaze.
The leader of the Black Mountain Four Bandits, Meng Bai, held up his heavy staff and smiled sinisterly. "We are already preparing to leave the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland. Unexpectedly, a fat sheep delivered itself to us. White Robed Xiao Chen, do you know how valuable your head is now? Even a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage would be tempted. "
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, there is no need to worry about this Xiao. Think about how to protect your own heads first!"
A strong wind howled, and the sound of killing came from the wind.
Ye Chen's black hair turned red, and his eyes turned scarlet as well. He took a step forward and charged at the Black Mountain Four Bandits. He smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, let's treat this as our unfinished battle. Let's compete and see who can end it first."
Compared to the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders, the Black Mountain Four Bandits were slightly weaker. However, the difference was not too great. Ye Chen's bet was not too unfair.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and clashed with the Demonic Brilliant Two Elders. Now that he thought about it, this was his third time clashing with the two.
The first time they clashed, it was just the middle-aged man, yet Xiao Chen was already tired out dealing with him. In the end, he had to use his Immortal Arts and Magic Skills as a trump card before he barely managed to escape. There was no chance of victory.
The second time they clashed was in the heavenly palace's restrictions. Xiao Chen had used the Cycle Banner and clashed with the two briefly.
In that battle, Xiao Chen had used external force to suppress the two, preventing them from getting up. Hence, it could not be considered a true fight.
The hemp-robed old man took out his flaming fan, and a fiery cloud spread out for five kilometers around his head. It looked very horrifying. He said coldly to Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, hand over the Primal Essence Nature Pill, and the two of us can spare your life and let you leave the Heavenly Ruin Wasteland."
The Primal Essence Nature Pill was a King Grade Medicinal Pill. Mister Qin had spent his life's effort and failed countless times before barely managing to refine one.
