Around the small desolate mountain, black-armored soldiers with powerful auras were scattered within a radius of dozens of miles. They were connected to each other and formed an array formation. They vaguely enveloped the small desolate mountain in a haze.
Their actions were very cautious. They had no choice but to be cautious.
After all, this was the Eastern Wasteland and not the Central Continent. It wasn't the main place of the Yuhua God Dynasty. It was a secret that the black-armored commander led the team to the Eastern Wasteland. His mission was to collect the dragon veins. The more, the better. The more secretive, the better.
It wasn't just him. In the entire Eastern Wasteland, their figures could be seen in many places. They all belonged to the Yuhua God Dynasty of the Central Continent. They specialized in collecting the dragon veins in secret.
As for why they were collecting the dragon veins, the black-armored commander wasn't too sure. He only needed to follow orders.
"Reporting to the commander, the entire small desolate mountain has been completely surrounded by the array formation!"
"Good!"
The black-armored commander nodded in satisfaction when he heard the report from his subordinate. He immediately ordered, "Start extracting this dragon vein immediately. Do it in the shortest time possible. Don't let those aristocratic families and factions find any clues!"
"As for the indigenous villagers below, kill them all!"
"Understood!"
Just like that, disaster struck without any warning.
Not only Liu Xian Village, but all the villages in the entire small desolate mountain were enveloped.
Their lives were as cheap as ants!
…
At the bank of Li Shui River, Lin Lin was still cultivating.
Suddenly, without any warning, the ground began to shake. The entire Lishui Ancient River surged with monstrous waves. The ferocious waves bombarded both sides of the river, creating splashes on the rocks.
The ground trembled and cracked.
Huge cracks could be seen with the naked eye from the ground under their feet. The soil rolled like waves and flew wantonly. The surrounding vegetation collapsed and fell to the ground as the swaying ground continued to fall, breaking into pieces.
"Is it an earthquake?"
Lin Lin's face was filled with shock. His body kept shaking and he almost couldn't stand steadily. He stared at the doomsday-like scene around him. A look of disbelief flashed across his eyes.
The power of nature was too terrifying, far beyond his imagination at such a young age.
Even the various records of earthquakes in the ancient books probably didn't have such a commotion, right?
Moreover, there had never been an earthquake in the history of this mountain. How could there be such a big movement this time without any warning?
"Grandpa!"
Lin Lin's heart tightened. He immediately thought of his grandfather.
With such a terrifying upheaval, no one knew what would happen to the village. The elder was already old, he was afraid …
Thinking of this, Lin Lin hurriedly ran towards the Retaining Immortal Village. He stumbled along the way, and finally returned to the Retaining Immortal Village.
However, there was nothing in front of his eyes. There was only a huge crack left where Liu Xian Village used to be. It was as if the entire Liu Xian Village had been swallowed by the crack. There was no trace of it at all.
"No!!!"
Lin Lin's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the huge fissure off in the distance. He roared and leaped to the edge of the fissure, then looked down.
However, he couldn't see anything. The crack was too big and too deep. All he could see was darkness. There wasn't even a trace of Liuxian Village.
"There's actually someone else?"
Just as Lin Lin was roaring, a cold voice came from above his head.
Lin Lin raised his head and saw two soldiers in black armor looking down at him from above the clouds. Their gazes were cold as if they were looking at a dead person.
"He's just a child. He has no value at all. Just kill him!"
"Alright!"
As they spoke, one of the soldiers didn't give Lin Lin any chance to react. He pointed his finger, and a black divine light turned into lightning. It carried an absolutely terrifying aura and instantly pierced through Lin Lin's heart.
"Pfff!"
Lin Lin spat out a mouthful of blood. His body tilted, and he fell from the edge of the huge fissure. He fell straight into the bottomless fissure.
At the original spot, there were only some mottled footprints and a mouthful of golden blood stains.
"Is he dead? His heart was pierced and he fell into the ground. It's hard for him to not die! However, this child's blood is interesting. It's actually golden. Hehe, could it be that he has some special physique? "
One of the soldiers laughed. This sentence was purely a joke. In his heart, he didn't think that Lin Lin was a genius with a special physique. After all, if he was really a genius, why would he stay in such a small village? Moreover, his cultivation was close to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.
"Alright, don't worry about it. Our main task is to stabilize the array formation. Cleaning up these villages is just a matter of convenience!"
"As long as the array formation is stabilized, we can better extract the Dragon Vein later. This way, we can save a lot of time!"
…
No one would care about the life and death of a child. Even if this child seemed to be a little special, it was not worth mentioning compared to their mission!
Lin Lin's heart was pierced and he fell into the fissure. The last thing he felt was a 'plop' sound. His body was in pain, and he fainted.
At the original location of the small barren mountain, the entire mountain range was uprooted and suspended in the air. It was dozens of meters high, and it looked like an island suspended in the sky. It was very shocking.
"Absorb!"
It was about time. The young man in luxurious robes stared at the floating barren mountain with a solemn expression. He formed a seal with his hands, and Dao and Truth intertwined with his hand seals, emitting a misty light.
As he roared, the misty clear light in his palm suddenly shone brightly. Beams of light burst out from his palm, piercing through the space in all directions like sharp swords. Wherever the light spread out, the space twisted into a ball.
However, this phenomenon was not useless. As the light scattered, the shadow of a dragon was extracted from the floating barren mountain.
This illusory figure was extremely damaged, but it emitted a mysterious aura. It was like a coiling dragon that was churning. Every time it churned, terrifying ripples would spread out, as if it was struggling to escape from the young man's grasp.
"It's useless. Collect!"
The young man in luxurious robes sneered and pressed his palm. Suddenly, the light wrapped around the dragon-shaped shadow and condensed into a ball. With a wave of his hand, the dragon-shaped shadow flew into his hand.
In that instant, time and space rotated. It was as if all time and space were compressed and transformed by his technique, radiating all around.
The dragon vein was condensed into a ball just like that.
"The extraction of the dragon vein has been completed!"
The young man in luxurious robes held the ball of light in his hand and nodded in satisfaction. He said to the black-armored commander, "It's much better than I imagined. Although this dragon vein is broken, its basic form and framework are still there. When the time comes, it can move heaven and earth and gather dragons to capture caves. It's not bad!"
"Since the mission is completed, let's go to the next place!" The black-armored commander was also very satisfied. However, their mission was to collect more dragon veins. There was only one left. Although it was very big, it was very broken and far from enough.
