Chapter 1 Start

"Let's begin." As the Dean spoke, a ball of burning black flame appeared behind him, and a terrifying aura spread out. Behind the Tower Master appeared a golden mountain, while behind the Lord of Time and Space Island appeared a semi-circular ring emitting a faint light.

The combination of the three forces became even more terrifying, and Xu Jingming, watching from the side, felt a tremor of fear.

"In a one-on-one fight, I am now stronger than each of them." Xu Jingming observed the Dean and the others using their forbidden weapons. "But these three forbidden weapons, when combined, seem like a complete whole. My mental strength cannot even lock onto their true forms."

"The Dean and the others seem to be in place, but in reality, they are hidden in another layer of spacetime that I cannot touch, let alone harm," Xu Jingming marveled inwardly.

Unable to even touch them, let alone harm them.

After the Dean and the other two used their forbidden weapons, they were not afraid of even half-step third realm experts! It was only natural that his mental weapons could not harm them.

"Now that everything is set up, we can start mining," the Eternal Tower Master said with a smile.

"Once we start, we must mine at the fastest speed," the Dean said. "Once we finish mining, we can leave this place. It will be useless even if other high-dimensional life forms arrive."

Although he was confident in their strength, he was still unwilling to fight other strong individuals.

Those who are good at swimming drown! The vast majority of those who drown are those who know how to swim.

The same principle applies.

Relying on their strength to fight time and time again would eventually lead to hitting a brick wall! Just like that old Abyss demon 'Nato', who had long engaged in plundering and killing, and eventually provoked Xu Jingming.

Even though Xu Jingming was very strong, he was still cautious. Because in the world of myriad races, there were many powerful beings who amazed him. For example, 'Lei Jiao Shan', who left in the first session, Xu Jingming believed that even now, he was still far from matching the other party in terms of mental strength.

"Dig!" With the Dean's order, the Dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord mobilized the power of their forbidden weapons and began to destroy the mountain wall.

"Rumble~~~"

The small deposit was deep inside the Yuanjin Mountains. The Dean and the other two took action with all their might, blasting away a large area of the hollow mountain wall. A large amount of rock shattered, and Yuanjin pearls detached from the rock and flew up, quickly collected by the Dean and the other two.

Xu Jingming dispatched exploration avatars to guard the surrounding hollow passages. He did not help to blast the rocks.

"What I am good at is mental attacks. Forcibly destroying the rocks? I am not as good as the Dean. The three of them working together to use their forbidden weapons are much stronger than me. I should not affect their cooperation," Xu Jingming knew his limitations.

His power would only affect the cooperation of the three forbidden weapons and reduce efficiency.

"The aura emitted by a large number of Yuanjin pearls when the mountain rocks of the deposit are blasted is too strong," Xu Jingming frowned as he watched this scene.

Yuanjin is a very precious and special 'spacetime' material. The spacetime in this area is extremely chaotic, and many 'spacetime lost' areas are connected to areas outside the territory, and even to some mysterious places.

Countless remote regions are connected here, and various energies converge to gradually form the Yuanjin Mountains.

The essence of which is Yuanjin!

"Buzz."

Previously, the Yuanjin pearls were integrated into the rocks and were very restrained.

But now, a large amount of mountain rocks had been blasted, and the restrained Yuanjin aura in the entire small deposit erupted in an instant, affecting the stability of spacetime. The Dean and the other two tried their best to envelop spacetime to minimize the impact.

...

"This is?"

In the nearby vicinity, there were a total of three high-dimensional life exploration teams that remotely sensed the Yuanjin aura.

"Being able to sense it from this far away, it must be a Yuanjin deposit."

"It's in that direction."

"We have to find a way to get there." Being able to reach the depths of the Yuanjin Mountains, the members of these three high-dimensional life teams were all at the Eternal realm level. However, passing through the winding hollow passages to reach the deposit was also very difficult.

The hollow passages could make dozens of turns and had forks. Who knew how to reach the deposit?

Among these three teams, one of them was led by Commander Moyu.

"Whoosh."

Their three figures entered a state of ethereality and entered the vast mother river.

Swish swish~~~

The water of the mother river covered everything.

"We can't observe the inside of the Yuanjin Mountains from the Heart Realm," the thin figure said. "The Yuanjin Mountains have a special material that affects spacetime. My Heart Realm clones must have accurate imprints to teleport there."

"Brother Moyu, can you find the exact location of the deposit?" The black-haired figure looked at the team leader.

The tall, horned figure 'Moyu' sensed the flow of the mother river water. "The aura of that deposit is erupting. Based on its impact on the spacetime mother river, I can determine its approximate location. Fei Xing, bring three Heart Realm clones, and I will send them over."

"Okay." The thin figure nodded, and three clones instantly appeared beside him.

"Go."

Through the mother river, Moyu sent the three Heart Realm clones to the speculated locations.

One of the three clones was sent inside the mountain rock, one was sent to another hollow corridor, and one landed in the corridor where Xu Jingming and the others were.

"We found the deposit. The high-dimensional life forms mining are from Wanxing Island," the thin figure said.

"Hurry over," Moyu urged.

The thin figure immediately took his two companions and teleported using Heart Realm teleportation to the location of one of the clones.

...

It may seem slow, but from the eruption of the Yuanjin deposit's aura to the arrival of this high-dimensional life team, less than half a minute had passed.

Although the Dean and the other three were strong, blasting Yuanjin rock on a large scale was too troublesome. In that short period, they had only mined a little over a thousand Yuanjin pearls.

"High-dimensional life forms are here."

The Dean and the others observed the three high-dimensional life forms descending in the distance. At the same time, they did not stop mining, continuing to use their forbidden weapons to unleash terrifying power, repeatedly blasting the mountain rocks and collecting Yuanjin pearls.

"It's them?" The Dean and the other three frowned slightly. Xu Jingming also observed the newcomers.

There were three figures coming.

One was a tall figure with curved horns, the Eternal realm peak expert 'Moyu', who was famous in this territory. His fame was even greater than that of Nato. However, his reputation was much better than Nato's. He was not part of the Abyss Sacrifice stream.

Another black-haired figure was 'Oloko', an Eternal realm peak expert from the Star Body lineage. The strength of the Star Body lineage was not inferior to the Heart Realm lineage in the slightest.

The smallest figure was 'Fei Xing', a Heart Realm Eternal realm expert. Although he was not at the peak of the Eternal realm, there were very few Heart Realm experts in the entire territory. It was already very difficult to invite a Heart Realm Eternal realm expert to join the team.

"Hahaha, Island Lord Chu, Island Lord Xihe, Island Lord Guhe, Island Lord Wuming, I have long heard of the names of the Wanxing Island Lords." The tall figure Moyu smiled, but his laughter caused spacetime to tremble, affecting the domain formed by the three forbidden weapons. "We are able to discover the same deposit in the vast Yuanjin Mountains, so we can be considered to have a connection."

"We found it first," Dean Chu spoke.

"Don't you still have a lot that hasn't been mined? Unmined deposits are unowned. Every high-dimensional life form that sees it has the right to mine it." The tall figure said indifferently, "I don't want much, just give me half."

"You have quite the big mouth," the Tower Master looked at him. While speaking, they continued to mine.

Seeing the rumbling mountain rocks shatter and Yuanjin pearls being collected, Moyu, Oloko, and Fei Xing became anxious.

"Stop it," the black-haired figure Oloko shouted.

"If you want to fight, then come. Since our Wanxing Island migrated to this territory, we've only killed Yu Fangtuo and the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon. We haven't killed enough, which is why you dare to provoke us," the Dean said coldly.

"Stop talking nonsense, if you want Yuanjin pearls, then rely on your strength to seize them!" The Tower Master also said coldly.

Moyu, Oloko, and Fei Xing's expressions were ugly.

The two sides were on the verge of breaking out, ready to fight.

...

"Our forbidden domain excels at protecting ourselves and killing enemies. But it is inferior in terms of trapping and stopping enemies. We can't stop them from killing their way over here. Everyone be careful," the Dean transmitted through sound. They had decided on this bias when they simplified and repaired the forbidden weapons in the beginning.

Survival was the most important thing. Once the three of them used their forbidden weapons, they could completely hide themselves. Even Gu Mo couldn't kill them back then.

Killing enemies was also important! The attack power of the forbidden weapons was extremely high.

Other aspects were more ordinary.

"The 'Oloko' with black fur all over his body is from the Star Body lineage and is extremely powerful." The Lord of Time and Space Island transmitted through sound, "Moyu is a strong individual from the Mother River lineage, and his strength is even above mine. His control over spacetime has reached an unbelievable level! Fei Xing is from the Heart Realm lineage, so everyone be careful of mental attacks."

The Dean and the others were very vigilant, and Xu Jingming was also ready to fight.

On the other side...

Moyu and the other two were equally wary.

"I can spy on spacetime, but I can't find their true bodies," Moyu transmitted to his companions.

"I have inquired with other Heart Realm experts. The three Island Lords of Wanxing Island have mastered forbidden weapons of the Scientific lineage. Once they join hands, they can even resist half-step third realm experts," Fei Xing transmitted, naturally well-informed as a Heart Realm member.

"Although I am good at head-on confrontations, they can all resist half-step third realm experts, so they can definitely block me," Oloko transmitted. "I don't think it's worth risking our lives for so few Yuanjin pearls."

Although Oloko was from the Star Body lineage, he had always been cautious.

...

"The four Island Lords of Wanxing Island have quite some courage," Moyu smiled slightly. "Well, we won't compete for this small deposit."

Even if they could seize two or three thousand Yuanjin pearls, their share would be very limited after the three of them divided it. It was not worth fighting Wanxing Island to the death. After all, the Wanxing Island side was not easy to mess with, and fighting to the death could lead to death. If it was a large deposit, they would definitely spare no expense.

A small deposit? It wasn't necessary.

"Let's go," the thin figure Fei Xing said.

Moyu was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Not long ago, the old Abyss demon 'Nato' who lived in the Yuanjin Mountains was killed! Was it Wanxing Island who killed him?"

"Nato was killed?" The Tower Master was surprised.

"You don't know?" Moyu was puzzled. "He was killed in his cave lair."

"Although we have heard of Nato's name, we have never met him, so there is naturally no causal relationship," the Dean said. "Wanxing Island asks itself, we don't have the confidence to kill him in his cave lair."

"It wasn't you?" Moyu nodded. "It seems that there are still some terrifying strong individuals hidden in the Yuanjin Mountains."

After saying that, Moyu left with his two companions.

Their figures phased out and disappeared.

The Dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, and Xu Jingming all relaxed.

"They actually gave up," the Tower Master laughed.

"It's probably because it's a small deposit, so it's not worth risking their lives," the Lord of Time and Space Island was also in a good mood.

"I didn't expect Nato to be dead," the Dean said in surprise. "This Nato is also an Eternal realm peak expert, and he has long been engaging in Abyss Sacrifice. His physical body has long been cultivated to an unbelievable degree. His strength is probably not inferior to mine. He was killed in his lair... tsk tsk."

Xu Jingming, who was on the side, couldn't help but say, "Dean."

"Hmm?" The Dean and the others looked at Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming didn't say anything when Moyu asked earlier, too lazy to bother. But he was unwilling to hide it from the Dean and the Tower Master. Xu Jingming still trusted the few high-dimensional life forms of the human race very much.

"I killed this Nato," Xu Jingming said.

The Dean, Tower Master, and Lord of Time and Space Island were stunned.
