Chapter 107 Arrival

"Bang!"

Above the Sea of Fire, thick magma splashed in all directions.

A figure, gripping an exotic beast, suddenly rushed out from the Sea of Fire.

However, after emerging from the Sea of Fire, Chen Long did not go far.

Instead, he frowned, suspended in mid-air, staring with a cold glint in his eyes toward the direction of the Sea of Fire he had flown out from.

After the blink of an eye, the Sea of Fire beneath Chen Long's feet immediately boiled as if it were a pot of boiling water.

Following that, hundreds of exotic beasts, identical to the one in Chen Long's hand, frantically rushed out from the boiling Sea of Fire.

The eyes of the hundreds of exotic beasts were filled with brutality and madness, and then they recklessly charged toward Chen Long.

"Courting death!"

A cold glint flashed in Chen Long's eyes, and one palm gently opened towards these exotic beasts.

Hundreds of microscopic Sword Qi shot out from Chen Long's palm.

Every single one of the hundreds of rushing exotic beasts was struck by a tiny strand of Sword Qi.

In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of exotic beasts were completely slaughtered by the Sword Qi emitted from Chen Long's wave of the hand.

Among these exotic beasts, the weaker ones were only around the Nascent Soul Stage, just like the one grasped in Chen Long's hand.

As for the stronger ones, they had even reached the Soul Transformation Stage.

Unfortunately, whether it was Soul Transformation or Nascent Soul, before Chen Long—who was a powerhouse among peak-stage Cultivators—there was no difference at all.

All of them were destroyed with a single strike.

However, after Chen Long slaughtered all the exotic beasts with a single strike, there was no trace of joy on his face, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Every single corpse of the hundreds of exotic beasts slaughtered by his wave emitted faint yet unstoppable weird fluctuations.

Within an even wider range of the Sea of Fire beneath him, towering waves of fire instantly surged, as if large swathes of the Sea of Fire were about to turn the sky upside down.

Seeing this, Chen Long's figure no longer hesitated.

Grasping that exotic beast, his entire body flickered through the air, and his figure dissipated above this Sea of Fire.

Moreover, layers of Seals were continuously applied by Chen Long onto the exotic beast in his hand.

After spending quite a bit of effort, the weird fluctuations on this Nascent Soul Stage exotic beast were finally barely sealed by Chen Long.

At this moment, Chen Long had returned to the boundary between the Sea of Fire and the dense forest.

Chen Long suspended in mid-air, threw the exotic beast in his hand in front of him, and a look of contemplation could not help appearing on his face.

The body of this exotic beast looked as if it were made of pieces of glazed glass emitting a fiery red luster, shaped like a strange ape with a single horn on its head.

Wisps of weird patterns covered the entire body of this exotic beast.

Moreover, the higher its strength, the larger its body size.

The exotic beast captured alive in his hand only had the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage, yet its body size was already a full ten zhang tall.

Among the hundreds of exotic beasts previously destroyed by Chen Long with a single strike, those Soul Transformation Stage exotic beasts had already reached a height of over a hundred zhang.

"This thing really has some peculiar traits.

Furthermore, once attacked by external enemies, it will emit an irresistible weird fluctuation.

This fluctuation will attract a greater number of companions to attack their enemies.

Moreover, even if this kind of exotic beast is killed, it can still emit this weird fluctuation.

It truly is rather weird!

However, it just so happens that the exotic beast tribe in this Sea of Fire will serve as the first gift I send to the Destiny Star expedition Cultivators!"

While speaking, Chen Long reached out into the air and pinched towards the exotic beast floating before his eyes.

This exotic beast instantly collapsed under Chen Long's palm.

Leaving only a wisp of singular fiery red thread, which twisted and condensed into a peculiar rune in the air, and was put away by Chen Long with a flip of his hand.

Afterwards, Chen Long gathered dozens of powerful Cultivators at or above the Soul Formation stage.

After giving a few instructions, everyone chose a direction and flew away into the Sea of Fire.

…

Sun Xuan and the others sailed at high speed through the starry sky. After continuing to sail for more than half a year, they finally arrived at this Barren Planet.

However, the landing spot chosen by Sun Xuan and the others had a considerable distance from the landing spot of the Daluo Sword Sect and others.

The Destiny Star Cultivators did not discover the Daluo Sword Sect Cultivators who had entered this Barren Planet in advance and were preparing to stir up trouble.

"All Grade 5 Cultivation Countries and their subordinate Cultivators, leave the starry sky giant ship.

Then, taking each Grade 5 Cultivation Country as a unit, disperse respectively and set up defensive Formations.

Each Grade 5 Cultivation Country shall dispatch Cultivators on its own to hurry and investigate the surrounding situation!"

After entering this Barren Planet, Palace Master Ouyang Mo of Jiuyou Palace immediately issued an order.

Driving out all the Cultivators who had boarded the Jiuyou Palace starry sky giant ship.

"After your respective protective Formations are set up, the Sect Masters of each Grade 5 Cultivation Country shall come here again to discuss our respective conquest and exploration directions."

After the order was issued, each Grade 5 Cultivation Country, including the Yusheng Sect, immediately left the Jiuyou Palace starry sky giant ship.

Then they each found their directions and flew apart in all directions.

The people of the Yusheng Sect rode on the body of that huge green turtle, swiftly galloping toward the distance.

As for the people of the Qianyuan Sect, they turned the starry sky giant ship in another direction and swiftly fled deep into the dense forest.

After all, the Qianyuan Sect's starry sky giant ship belonged to themselves, so naturally they could use it however they pleased.

Upon arriving at this Barren Planet, Sun Xuan and Sect Master Lü Daoxuan walked out from the seclusion cabin and came onto the deck of the starry sky giant ship.

"The Cultivation environment of this Barren Planet is really not that great!"

Sun Xuan said softly with some emotion to Sect Master Lü Daoxuan beside him.

Sun Xuan and the others naturally saw that huge Sea of Fire that occupied one-third of the entire planet.

To say the least, above that Sea of Fire, it was completely unsuitable for Cultivators to Cultivate.

High-stage Cultivators were easier to talk about; such a place of turbulent Spiritual Qi had little impact on them.

But low-stage Cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage wanting to gain a foothold in a place full of turbulent fire Spiritual Qi was simply courting death.

Moreover, it was unknown whether there were any other dangers hidden within this Sea of Fire.

Even middle and high-stage Cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage would not dare say they could definitely gain a foothold above this Sea of Fire.

In this way, a perfectly fine planet—not to mention those endless dense forests of unprobed depth—

just this Sea of Fire occupying one-third of the entire planet completely ruined one-third of the planet's land.

Judging solely from this point, the Cultivation environment of this Barren Planet was not even as good as that semi-abandoned Suzaku Planet.

At least the large expanse of the Xiumo Sea on Suzaku Planet, although its Cultivation environment was extremely harsh, at least still allowed Cultivators to Cultivate within it.

"If the Cultivation environment were exceptionally good, does Elder Sun think the main sect would allocate it to us Grade 5 Cultivation Countries?

Now, being able to possess this Opportunity to ascend to a Grade 6 Cultivation Country and independently occupy a planet

is already a monumental Opportunity for Grade 5 Cultivation Countries like us.

Although this Barren Planet's territory is nearly one-third abandoned,

the remaining territory is still pretty good. From my observation, the Spiritual Qi environment is not bad either.

I hope Elder Sun can lend me a helping hand to secure the battle achievements in the top five,

so as to obtain this precious Opportunity to ascend to a Grade 6 Cultivation Country."

Sect Master Lü Daoxuan first wore an expression of having long anticipated this,

and then said to Sun Xuan with a solemn expression.

"Sect Master, rest assured, this poor Daoist will definitely do his utmost."

Hearing this, Sun Xuan chuckled and said.

After flying at high speed for a period of time, the starry sky giant ship arrived above a mountain range.

Here, ancient trees towered to the skies, and the Spiritual Qi was passable, although a few Soul Transformation Stage Barren Yao Beasts lingered here.

However, under the action of the Qianyuan Sect Cultivators, they were all completely slaughtered within a short moment.

The temporary stronghold of the Qianyuan Sect was chosen to be in a massive valley within this mountain range.

The huge starry sky giant ship landed on one side of the valley, and immediately Qianyuan Sect Cultivators began to set up Formations.

While hiding the starry sky giant ship, they set up defensive Formations to prevent barrens giant beasts or other dangers from causing damage to the Qianyuan Sect Cultivators.

This was no small project; even with the Qianyuan Sect founding its school on Formations, it could not be set up in a short while.

After all, it wasn't just people from the Qianyuan Sect who came; the range of Formations that needed to be set up for the numerous Grade 3 and Grade 4 Cultivation Country Cultivators under its command was not small.

Just as the various Grade 5 Cultivation Countries of Destiny Star were busy setting up their temporary camps amid tight preparations,

the group of Daluo Sword Sect Cultivators quietly approached the camps of the various Grade 5 Cultivation Countries.

The moment the group of Destiny Star Cultivators arrived at this Barren Planet, the Daluo Sword Sect group had already detected their existence.

After all, the commotion caused by the arrival of more than a hundred starry sky giant ships was not small; it would be difficult for Chen Long and the others not to notice.

Some camps of Grade 5 Cultivation Countries with lower strength were headed to by ordinary Soul Formation stage Cultivators of the Daluo Sword Sect with average strength.

As for the few Grade 5 Cultivation Countries with stronger strength, they were headed to by the Twelve Sword Zodiacs.

As for the temporary camp chosen by Jiuyou Palace, Chen Long took action personally.

Not far from the temporary camp of Jiuyou Palace, Chen Long concealed his entire aura.

Then with a wave of his hand, a small Restriction ball with tens of thousands of runes flashing inside appeared in Chen Long's hand.

Chen Long let out a sinister laugh, lightly exhaling magic power into his hand, and the small Restriction ball instantly shattered.

Then, under the urging of Chen Long's magic power, tens of thousands of slightly distorted fiery red runes instantly scattered and shot towards the surroundings of the Jiuyou Palace temporary camp.

After finishing these matters, Chen Long immediately left the location of the Jiuyou Palace temporary camp without looking back.

After leaving a certain distance, Chen Long immediately went at full speed, as if he were fleeing from something.

Those runes were all collected by Chen Long and the group of Daluo Sword Sect Cultivators by slaughtering the Sea of Fire exotic beasts.

These runes were the fundamental reason why the Sea of Fire exotic beasts could emit weird fluctuations to attract and summon their companions.

Now that these tens of thousands of runes were scattered around the Jiuyou Palace temporary camp, streams of weird and secretive fluctuations immediately emitted in large quantities.

Palace Master Ouyang Mo, sitting cross-legged inside the Jiuyou Palace temporary camp, suddenly knitted his brows.

Although the fluctuations emitted by the weird runes were secretive, Palace Master Ouyang Mo, whose cultivation had reached the half-step Yin-Void stage, detected them very easily.

However, although Palace Master Ouyang Mo detected these waves of weird fluctuations, he could not understand what they actually meant.

After all, Palace Master Ouyang Mo and the others had just descended onto this Barren Planet and had not yet had time to conduct further investigations into it.

Regarding the Sea of Fire area that occupied one-third of the entire planet, they knew nothing about the dangers within it.

However, out of caution, Palace Master Ouyang Mo still ordered:

"Liu Qing, take people to investigate these few surrounding areas.

Weird fluctuations are coming from these few areas.

Go and inspect whether there are any abnormal situations."

As Palace Master Ouyang Mo's voice fell, an old man beside him immediately spoke in response:

"Obey the Palace Master's decree!"

After accepting the command, this old man named Liu Qing immediately led a team of Cultivators to investigate the locations where the weird fluctuations were coming from.

This old man named Liu Qing had cultivation that had reached the Early Stage, though his strength was very average among peak-stage Cultivators.

However, finding the source of this weird fluctuation was not a problem.

After a short while, Liu Qing came before Palace Master Ouyang Mo with several red runes trapped in his hand.

"Palace Master, the source emitting the weird fluctuations is this kind of rune."

Liu Qing said as he waved his hand, and several twisting and fluctuating red runes immediately fluttered toward Palace Master Ouyang Mo.

Palace Master Ouyang Mo raised his hand, and the several red runes were grasped in his hand.

Palace Master Ouyang Mo frowned and studied them for a moment before speaking softly:

"This weird rune seems to be constantly transmitting a piece of information outward.

As for what this information actually is, it is difficult to guess for a moment.

Liu Qing, take people to strengthen the patrol around the temporary camp. Once you find anything approaching the camp, slaughter it on the spot.

Also, the defensive Formations of the camp must be completed even faster.

When things are abnormal, demons are bound to appear; this seat has a rather bad premonition!"

Following the issuance of the order, Liu Qing immediately took the command and left.

As for the camps of the other Grade 5 Cultivation Countries, apart from a small few that detected a slight impropriety,

most of the Grade 5 Cultivation Countries did not detect any abnormalities at all, and were still unhurriedly setting up their camp defensive Formations.

Outside the temporary camp of the Qianyuan Sect, Sun Xuan wore a half-smiling expression, blocking a Cultivator in mid-air.

"Let me guess your identity!

Cultivator at the Soul Formation stage Perfection, Sword Qi piercing out through the body.

Looking shifty and cowering—tsk tsk, you must be Zi Shu of the Daluo Sword Sect, right!"

The expression of this Cultivator blocked by Sun Xuan turned extremely gloomy.

Clearly, he had hidden his aura extremely carefully; why had his traces still been seen through by this person?

Even his identity was called out in one breath.

But it didn't matter; as long as he quickly slaughtered this Cultivator, his mission could still be completed.

"A mere Nascent Transformation Initial Stage, your eyesight is not bad.

But sometimes seeing too clearly will instead make you lose your life faster."

Zi Shu's mouth revealed a hint of a sinister smile, and then he spoke softly with murderous intent in his eyes:

"Is that so?

If you want to take this poor Daoist's life, it depends on whether your means are hard enough!"

A hint of mockery appeared on the corner of Sun Xuan's mouth, and then he spoke softly.

On this Barren Planet, he actually ran into people from the Daluo Sword Sect.

Sun Xuan couldn't help thinking to himself, this matter was becoming more and more interesting.
