Chapter 153 Ji Wuming Provoked, Remained Unmoved

However, the next moment.

Ji Wuming's expression changed drastically, and the Slaughter Sword Intent within him surged madly towards Zhou Chen, wanting to completely turn him into an idiot.

But to his shock, no matter how he urged his Sword Intent, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, completely unable to stir up any ripples!

What he didn't know was that Zhou Chen's Sword Intent was also Major Achievement Sword Intent.

Moreover, with the enhancement of the third layer of the 《Nine Heavens Linked God Art》, his Divine Sense strength was even not inferior to Ji Wuming's.

To try and suppress Zhou Chen purely with Sword Intent was like a fool's dream!

"This is impossible!"

A monstrous wave surged in Ji Wuming's heart.

He was at the Saint Realm Seventh Layer, and although Zhou Chen's specific cultivation couldn't be seen, it should be much lower than his.

But now, he actually couldn't do anything to a Saint in a clash of suppressive power?

Bai Yuting and Ye Xuan also had solemn expressions; they could feel that the Spiritual Qi emanating from Zhou Chen was of extremely high quality, as if it had undergone countless refinements.

"A bit interesting."

But Ji Wuming had clearly already harbored killing intent, pressing his hand on his sword hilt, preparing to teach Han Li a lesson.

Just as the tension was rising, a terrifying pressure suddenly came from the distant sky, and a golden streak of light cut through the air, heading straight for this place.

"It's a strong expert from the Thunder Clan!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

That golden streak of light instantly descended, transforming into a heroic young man in blue-gold armor, who was none other than the Thunder Clan's top Prodigy, Lei Ming.

He scanned the entire scene, his gaze lingering on Ji Wuming for a moment, and spoke indifferently: "Ji Wuming, the Starry Sky Emperor Road is about to open, and you still have the mind to bully Loose Cultivators here?"

To an Imperial Clan, even a powerful Holy Land was considered a Loose Cultivator in their eyes.

The reason was simple: they were too weak.

Ji Wuming frowned. Although unwilling, he knew it was not appropriate to conflict with a Thunder Clan Prodigy at this time, mainly because he couldn't defeat Lei Ming. He snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves, departing.

Lei Ming did not linger either and quickly left. His actions earlier were merely out of convenience; he detested Ji Wuming's bullying behavior the most.

Little did he know that his good deed would bring such a great Opportunity to the entire Thunder Clan, but that was a story for later.

Zhou Chen also checked Lei Ming's Opportunity panel; there was a good Opportunity for Body Refining in a Thunder Pool. Although this person was quite good, the Opportunity couldn't be missed; if it was meant to be stolen, then steal it.

At most, he would repay the favor if he had the chance later.

When one is powerful, one can choose to show compassion.

When one is weak, compassion will only become a fatal weakness.

This was a principle Zhou Chen had always believed in.

After the figures of several people gradually disappeared into the crowd.

Han Li, in the teahouse, let out a long breath.

"Brother Zhou, that was truly too dangerous just now. If we had really started fighting…"

"It's fine."

Zhou Chen sat back down, picked up his teacup, and took a light sip, "They are merely three arrogant scions who think too highly of themselves."

"True strong experts never easily reveal their sharp edges."

Han Li nodded thoughtfully, his admiration for Zhou Chen deepening.

To remain so composed in the face of provocation from an Imperial Clan Prodigy, such magnanimity was indeed extraordinary.

"Brother Zhou, the resource battle will officially begin in two days. Do you have any plans?"

Han Li asked.

"Meet aggression with aggression, and adapt to circumstances."

Zhou Chen stood up, "No matter what kind of monstrous beings come, I will take them on."

However, Zhou Chen was calculating the time difference in his heart. With so many Prodigies' Opportunities, he had to prioritize them. The Opportunities were ranked from largest to smallest, and if they weren't in the same area, he might have to selectively give them up.

Although it was a pity, he had to make a choice.

Bai Yuting, the Dan Clan's recent Opportunity, was the Dan Emperor Ancient Palace on the Starry Sky Emperor Road, a Ninth Grade Dan Fire ranked sixty-ninth on the Alien Fire List. The Opportunity was average; he would take it if there was time.

Ye Xuan, the Array Clan Prodigy's Opportunity, was in the Dead Emperor Cave on the Starry Sky Emperor Road, activating a damaged array foundation to obtain a Saint Rank Medium Grade Heavenly罡 Big Dipper Array Diagram.

It seemed these two were a team.

Zhou Chen continued to scan the Opportunity panel with his Divine Sense.

Shi Ritian, the Saint from the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, an Imperial Rank Low Grade inner armor, mark it down!

Xiao Yu, the Saint from the Tianxing Sacred Ground, a Saint Rank Top Grade Star Origin Essence, mark it down!

Yan Ming, the Saint from the Blazing Fire Holy Land, a chaos bell fragment, mark it down!

"It seems this time's harvest will be quite abundant."

Zhou Chen roughly scanned a circle and found that most of the Holy Land Prodigies' Opportunities were almost collected. A subtle smile, not easily detectable, appeared on the corner of Zhou Chen's mouth.

Seeing Zhou Chen's smile, Han Li thought Zhou Chen had adjusted his mindset so quickly, and his admiration deepened even further.

If Zhou Chen knew what Han Li was thinking, he would surely shout, 'You're overthinking things!'

The next day.

With a rumble in the Four Seas and Eight Desolations City, the world changed color.

A golden vortex, obscuring the sky and sun, slowly emerged. Ancient and mysterious array patterns flickered in the Void Realm, as if countless stars were floating within it.

"Everyone."

A majestic voice resounded through the heavens and earth.

On the high platform in the center of the city, a middle-aged man in a golden robe stood in the air, his suppressive power as heavy as a mountain. He was actually a genuine Quasi-Emperor Realm strong expert!

The City Lord of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations City, City Lord Li Feiyu!

A legendary existence, usually elusive, but today personally appearing to preside over the Central Continent's resource battle, which showed its importance.

"This old man, City Lord Li Feiyu, will preside over this Starry Sky Emperor Road."

City Lord Li Feiyu's voice was calm, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"The Starry Sky Emperor Road is the Dao field of an ancient Imperial Clan, filled with dangers and countless Opportunities."

"This opening allows young generation Cultivators below the Saint Realm Tenth Layer to enter. The time inside is six months."

"Remember, life and death inside are up to fate, and wealth is up to heaven. If you die, no one is to blame."

As his voice fell, countless Divine Senses clashed in the air, and the Elders of each Holy Land secretly instructed their Disciples.

City Lord Li Feiyu looked at the sky and continued: "The Starry Sky Emperor Road is divided into nine major regions: Dead Emperor Cave, Ice Emperor Abyss, Thunder Emperor Peak, Burning Heaven Domain, Myriad Beast Valley, Dan Emperor Palace, Artifact Emperor Mansion, Array Emperor Palace, and the central Imperial Palace Ruins, as well as many unexplored areas."

"The further in you go, the greater the danger and the more precious the Opportunities."

"This is the Emperor Seal, your only proof of identity and harvest in this place."

"The Emperor Seal has two main functions. First, life-saving. The Starry Sky Emperor Road is full of dangers. Once you encounter an irresistible life-or-death crisis, crush the Emperor Seal, and you will be immediately teleported out of this world. Of course, this also means you completely lose your qualification."

"Second, and most importantly — measuring your harvest."

City Lord Li Feiyu's voice became solemn: "Everything within the Starry Sky Emperor Road, whether it's Heaven And Earth Treasure, the spirit of ancient Vicious Beasts, or the Legacy Dao韵 left by long-vanished Imperial Clans, contains a unique energy that we call 'Emperor Road Luck'. Your task is to collect as much of this Luck as possible; the Luck will automatically be injected into the Starry Sky Emperor Seal."
