Chapter 2006: 830, our strength no longer allows us to keep a low profile?
A massacre lasted but a Hundred Breaths.
Thousands of Heavenly Demonic Beasts had been cleanly hunted.
Heavenly Beads were collected one after another.
The whole process was executed so cleanly and efficiently that it seemed as if they had practiced countless times.
Indeed, for cultivators from the Lingxiao Domain, such hunting missions had become so familiar they could do them with their eyes closed.
Especially the disciples from the Lingxiao Sword Sect and those from the tribes under Daqinei’s command—many already possessed Puppet Fighters or black armors.
Even a Battle Armor of Zenith Heaven could sweep through these Heavenly Demonic Beasts without a problem.
The Puppet Fighters regrouped, the black armors were retracted, and those from the foreign race dispersed in small groups.
The battlefield was left empty and deserted.
Only a pile of stunned figures remained.
After a long while.
“Am I, am I seeing things…” a voice sounded.
The speaker was from the foreign race, one of those who had just taken the task of collecting one hundred thousand Heavenly Beads.
Everyone slowly turned their heads to look at the large man standing in front.
At that moment, the large man was shivering all over.
“How is this possible…” he mumbled in a low voice, his eyes seemingly losing focus.
How could a spoiled scion from Daqinei be so powerful?
And those whose Cultivation Strength was as poor as dog shit, how could each have a Puppet Fighter or black armor to protect themselves?
This world had become utterly incomprehensible.
As for the young man who had just spoken sarcastically about Daqinei, he was now utterly overwhelmed.
What he was thinking now was whether he could still escape.
“What do we do now?” a younger member of the foreign race, his eyes gleaming, asked softly.
What to do?
All of them looked at each other, confused.
“I think we can continue to complete the mission,” a young man in black armor suddenly exclaimed.
Continue the mission?
Many eyes lit up at the suggestion.
That’s possible!
If they could continue to complete the mission, they could obtain those one hundred thousand Heavenly Beads.
But now, compared to forming ties with Daqinei, the Heavenly Beads seemed insignificant.
Daqinei commanded an incredibly powerful force that could destroy a Fifth-Rank Heavenly Demonic Beast with a single strike.
The cultivators under Daqinei’s command almost each had a Puppet Fighter or black armor, their combat strength was unmatched, hunting Heavenly Demonic Beasts as if playing a game.
With such strength, who could contend with them?
If they could gain favor from Daqinei, perhaps their futures would be without limit!
“Truly a young master of Daqinei, lacking neither strength nor opportunities,” a large man holding long sabers spoke with a smile, a look of wonder on his face, “I suspect he’s been hiding his strength just to make a stunning rise during the Contend of Ten Thousand Realms.”
“Of course, this is the young master of Daqinei. How could he lack strength and scheming?”
Everyone’s mood improved, their eyes filled with hope for the future.
Then, led by that middle-aged man, they started to venture into the void in search of more Heavenly Demonic Beasts to hunt.
They needed to hunt more than the equivalent of one hundred thousand Ninth Grade Heavenly Pearls’ worth of sixth and seventh-grade Heavenly Demonic Beasts before they could meet Daqinei.
At that time, Daqinei had already met Han Muye.
The Fifth-grade Heavenly Bead was also handed to Han Muye.
A faint golden light seeped through his palm, then condensed into a trace of illusion.
The spatial power within the Fifth-grade Heavenly Bead was indeed rich.
“Not bad, this is the first Fifth-grade Heavenly Bead discovered in this Continent Domain,” Han Muye said, playing with the Heavenly Bead and looking at Daqinei with a light smile and nod.
Daqinei’s face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression at these words.
Han Muye waved his hand, and sage-level armor dropped down.
Currently, only Chen Shaodong in the entire Lingxiao Domain possessed such armor.
“Thank you for the generous gift, Master!” Daqinei shouted in gratitude as he received the armor.
Han Muye waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling him to leave.
Just a small demonstration of loyalty.
Daqinei’s offering of the first Fifth-grade Heavenly Bead conveyed his loyalty, and Han Muye’s immediate reward of a sage-level armor, value worth ten million Heavenly Beads, showed his recognition of that loyalty.
As long as there was loyalty, treasures were plentiful.
If the members of a foreign race could be so loyal, what about the others?
Three days later, the Lingxiao Sword Sect’s Hunting Team returned, exchanging half a million Heavenly Beads of sixth and seventh grades.
Then Chen Shaodong himself came to see Han Muye.
He was holding a Heavenly Bead.
Not level five.
But Half-step Fifth Level.
“Master, I’ve discovered a secret,” Chen Shaodong spoke softly as he handed over the Heavenly Bead to Han Muye.
A secret?
Han Muye took the Heavenly Bead and sensed it, looking at Chen Shaodong: “This is a Heavenly Demonic Beast whose evolution was incomplete.”
A Heavenly Demonic Beast needed various powers to evolve into a higher grade.
“Is it by absorbing Origin for ascension or by devouring its kind?” Han Muye’s words made Chen Shaodong start, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
“Master, you already know everything,” he said, nodding.
This Heavenly Bead had been obtained while they were hunting a group of Heavenly Demonic Beasts.
Seeing no escape, that Heavenly Demonic Beast killed and devoured two nearby beasts, beginning to ascend in strength.
However, this was an incomplete evolution, so the Heavenly Bead was only half-step fifth-grade.
“Nourishing with Origin is one method, but extracting from the Origin of heaven and earth just for Heavenly Beads will be sensed by the Formless and Formless Heavenly Dao of the Ten Thousand Domains, which will then descend tribulations,” said Han Muye, holding the Heavenly Bead and a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He hadn’t considered cultivating Heavenly Beads because it didn’t seem necessary.
After the Great Domain fusion, there would be plenty of ways to obtain high-grade Heavenly Beads, so there was no need to attract celestial tribulations for these few beads.
