Chapter 361: Forerunners

Chapter 361: Forerunners

In the era Chu Tian was born, barbarians had long ceased to exist.

Chu Tian had done his research on this race. It's said that the barbarians were the closest relatives to humans in the ancient era, but they were mixed with ancient era beast blood. The forerunners for the barbarians were very strong, but after several tens of thousand so years, the barbarian blood's wild power became thinner and thinner, so the race became weaker and weaker.

The barbarians were a rare race on the continent that depended on physical strength. Although they couldn't awaken Source Spirits and were not suited to practicing any cultivation techniques, the barbarians had a very strong life potential energy.

If they cultivated a cultivation technique without any attributes and raised their physical strength to a peak, the barbarians would still be a very strong race.

The Wild Blood Medicine was a kind of medicine that could incite a wild transformation.

What was the wild transformation?

The wild transformation was like the demonic transformation.

When the Hell Fire Demon invaded Thunder State, the abyss aura turned large amounts of humans into demons. It allowed many weak humans and weak cultivators suddenly turn into terrifying abyss demon soldiers, allowing them to even threaten higher level cultivators.

This was the effect the demonic transformation had.

The wild transformation was like the demonic transformation, but the base was different. Dark energy invading a life form was the reason for the demonic transformation and the wild transformation used the power of wild beasts to provoke one's potential, allowing one to develop their physical strength.

The demonic transformation was more radical, so it couldn't be reversed. The wild transformation was not as intense as the demonic transformation, but a normal life form needed to pay a large price to use the wild transformation. It could increase one's strength, but the price was losing one's reasoning, turning one into a wild and bloodthirsty being that didn't separate friend from foe.

The person undergoing the wild transformation would wildly kill everything they saw. They wouldn't feel pain or be tired, finally withering away.

The barbarian had a special physique and bloodline, being one of the creatures that could accept the wild transformation. The «Berserk Art» cultivation technique was tailored for berserkers. It not only allowed berserkers to incite a higher potential, it also suppressed the berserker's wild state, allowing the berserkers to keep their mind while in battle.

The most important thing was that with each wild transformation, this cultivation technique would quickly evolve!

After this group of soldiers with terrifying strength was formed, Chu Tian would bring them to battles everywhere. Letting the berserkers participate in battle would make the berserker's strength higher and higher!

Each berserker had a strong destructive might and once they underwent the wild transformation, they would not feel pain, tiredness, or fear. They would be a group of killing machines that never stopped!

This was a group of soldiers that could be quickly trained!

Gu Qianqiu began the berserker transformation on the other barbarian warriors.

These barbarians were already the barbarian race's elites. When they underwent the wild transformation, in a close combat situation, they could instantly cripple a 2nd-3rd Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator. If these soldiers could form a large army, it would become a sharp knife in Miracle Commerce's hands. Even in a warring kingdom, this would be considered a trump card army!

They could even grow to a more advanced army.

Chu Tian had planned on creating a berserker army in a single month!

The initial cost of creating these berserkers would not be low and it was mainly spent on making the Wild Blood Medicine. When the barbarian army was formed, they still needed Wild Blood Medicine to become stronger, but compared to the value this army had, Miracle Commerce could accept this price.

A strong army could not lack strong equipment!

Chu Tian had ordered a special set of equipment for this barbarian army.

The first things were conventional weapons and armour. The barbarians warriors had infinite strength, so weak normal armour and weapons didn't suit them. Therefore, the berserkers received a set of thick profound iron armour and another giant axe that was several hundred pounds. The armour itself was made of level three metal engraved with runes, so normal Awakened Soul Cultivators would find it hard to break it. If normal humans were to wear this armour, they wouldn't even be able to take a few steps, but it was as light as a feather to the berserkers.

When these heavy profound iron axes were raised by the barbarians, they had enormous power that could split apart the land itself. If there were tens of thousands of these barbarians, they would become an unstoppable force on the battlefield. At least in the Southern Summer Country, other than the airborne griffin knights, there wouldn't be another army that could penetrate their defenses.

Would only conventional equipment be enough?

This was Miracle Commerce's subordinate army!

Chu Tian arrived at the weapons department of the Yun Sect, "How is the personal cannon research going?"

Yun Tianhe was working with a group of scholars and Meng Qingwu was also helping the laboratory. She said to Chu Tian, "There's no success right now."

The personal cannon was something Chu Tian was building for the berserkers.

This weapon was a compressed Source Energy Cannon. Although it didn't have the same destructive might as a Source Energy Cannon, it was much more portable that could definitely be carried with the barbarian soldiers' strength. With a few dozen people, they could carry a cannon onto the battlefield and greatly increase the army's destructive might.

Although it was just making it smaller, it wasn't that simple, so it was normal that it wasn't completed yet.

"What about the Source Energy Sword?"

"We have a bit of results, but it can't be used yet!"

When he passed by a laboratory window, Chu Tian saw some researchers working on a strange weapon. This weapon looked to be a small hilt with a high intensity energy structure as well as an array on the outside. When this weapon was activated, a high energy light beam would appear from the hilt.

This seemed like it was a flashlight.

However the different part was that the beam released was condensed. This powerful energy combined to form an almost substantive material. It created a very terrifying temperature that could cut through steel like tofu.

This was the fundamental close combat Source Energy Weapon.

Chu Tian had provided the diagram and had the researchers attempt to make one. From what could be seen now, the effects were not very good and each sword did not seem stable.

"Where is the main problem?"

"The main problem is material and energy!" Meng Qingwu replied, "Most of our materials come from the Southern Summer Country, so even if we use the highest level materials, it is still very hard to contain the strength and temperature of the sword. Other than that, our energy battery is very weak, so the sword can only be maintained for ten seconds, making it very hard to stabilize the sword. Almost all of our high level materials were used up to make the Source Energy Cannons."

Chu Tian gave a sigh.

There really wasn't a perfect matter!

He had planned on creating five-eight thousand berserkers, with each one wearing heavy armour and carrying a heavy battleaxe. They would also be equipped with Source Energy Grenades and Source Energy Swords. The personal cannons and Storm Rifles would be distributed according to the enemy being fought.

If he had this kind of army, Chu Tian could kill his way into the Forest of Chaos. Even if the locals were strong, could they block this kind of lineup?

Perhaps a hundred Storm Rifles could make the locals flee like rats!

"We need a large amount of weapons." Meng Qingwu was very clear on the situation of Miracle Commerce, "Especially powerful weapons Source Energy Cannons and Storm Rifles. Only, the material required to make these weapons are very high level and the Southern Summer Country doesn't have a supply. Perhaps we'll be stuck here for a long time."

"Time is precious, we can't waste it." Chu Tian said, "From tomorrow onwards, we will be moving separately!"

"Are you entering the Forest of Chaos first?"

When Miracle Commerce wasn't ready yet, wouldn't rushing into the Forest of Chaos alert the enemy?

The Eagle Burial Kingdom could move against the Southern Summer Country at any time, so Chu Tian had to quickly prepare ahead of time, "You will stay in Southern State to prepare for the installations on the outer layer of the Forest of Chaos, as well as preparing for war. I will enter the Forest of Chaos. Relax, I'm just looking for materials and asking for information, I won't make any large moves."

Meng Qingwu was still a bit nervous, "Perhaps this is too dangerous."

"I will bring Vivian, everything will be fine."

Vivian had a deep cultivation and had spatial energy, so even if they met someone they couldn't beat, they could still run away. So, having Vivian follow Chu Tian meant he was very safe.

Just like this then!

Meng Qingwu would take care of all the work and begin to develop the berserker army.

The next day, the hundred barbarian led away by Miracle Commerce were reborn. They were had a set of awe inspiring armour and weapons as they followed Meng Qingwu back to the barbarian city.

They created a large stir in the barbarian city!

The tribe chiefs never would have imagined that after their clansmen left for a few days, they would all change like this. Their strength had increased by more than five-six times. If they picked any individual out of the hundred people, perhaps they would be an existence even an intermediate level Awakened Soul Cultivator would fear!

The barbarians were all filled with jealousy.

The Southern State Marquis Meng Qingwu announced: These over a hundred people had already joined Miracle Commerce and were currently trained troops of Miracle Commerce headquarters.

This was equal to obtaining a stable job!

Miracle Commerce was famous for their well treatment!

Not to mention each of the berserker barbarians gaining incredible strength, their family would also be taken care of by Miracle Commerce. The berserkers had signed a contract with Miracle Commerce where they wouldn't be restrained as long as they devoted five years to Miracle Commerce. The berserkers would then have the choice to leave the armed forces and return to living in the barbarian city.

Miracle Commerce did not need to actively recruit.

In just a few short days, several tens of thousand of young barbarians begged to become Miracle Commerce's soldiers.

Giving them strength, freedom, and caring for their families. To the barbarians, this was an opportunity to become extraordinary!

Of course Miracle Commerce was not polite.

Meng Qingwu used her Southern State Marquis status to announce: Anyone who has success in cultivating the «Berserk Art» would be able to join Miracle Commerce's army and accept the transformation into a berserker.

As soon as the news came out, in just two short days, the number of people in the berserker reserves passed over a thousand.

Miracle Commerce produced Wild Blood Medicine in large capacity, barely meeting the demand with their supply. However, with the increasing number of people in the army and the Wild Blood Medicine materials being used up, this work could not be completed in a short period of time.

Recently Meng Qingwu had been in charge and Chu Tian had not appeared in the past few days. Only the high level members of Miracle Commerce knew that he had already left Southern State and was headed to the unknown region to the south.

Chapter 362: Forest of Chaos

Chapter 362: Forest of Chaos

The Forest of Chaos did not have four seasons, only having rainy and dry seasons.

It was currently the Forest of Chaos' rainy season. The warm and moist air current blew over the western mountains to fill the entire Forest of Chaos. The fertile soils and low population made it very easy to obtain food and there was a rich variety to it. Whether it was the spirit beasts, the elves, or even the orcs, as long as they found a plot of land to sprinkle seeds in, even if they didn't take care of it, they would be able to harvest many tasty fruits the next year.

There were no kingdoms, laws, or order here. People did not need to pay taxes and they didn't need to submit to anyone. As long as they had enough power, they would have inexhaustible resources in this forest.

This was a paradise for experts!

Also hell for the weak!

The rich and complex environments bred many kinds of life forms. From the strange races of the ancient era to the beasts of the modern era. From the ancient dragons to the graceful elves, they all regarded the Forest of Chaos as an ideal home.

Although the resources here was enough to support even a hundred times the population, but it was a place where fighting was inevitable. People fighting against people, people fighting against beasts, and beasts fighting against beasts, it was already a normal scene for the Forest of Chaos.

Desire was endless.

For example, the Dragon Lord. This was a giant dragon that had lived for several thousand years and occupied the great Dragon City, with wealth that could be piled up into the sky. However, he was not satisfied and would plunder large amounts of wealth from the surrounding cities each year.

The giants of the giant mountain range, they emptied several hundred miles of mountain ranges to construct the largest palace in all of the Forest of Chaos which housed treasures that attracted the greed of countless experts of the continent.

The Elven King ruled the Elf Council, while also controlling several dozen elven cities and uniting several dozen medium and small sized powers. They became one of the strongest alliances in the entire forest and controlled ancient knowledge and wisdom.

The beautiful sea race queen built a city in the ocean. Stretching from the far west coast to the center of the Forest of Chaos, she tried to take all the treasures on land and in the sea for herself...

All these different powers who weren't inferior to peak warring kingdoms, they wildly explored the Forest of Chaos. There was always endless fighting and struggles as the powers interacted with each other, causing the Forest of Chaos to be in turmoil.

The strong will rise and compete with each other. The weak could only choose to submit, with many weak people trying to hide themselves, trying to follow the dark forest law. No one knew just how many unknown secrets and powers were hidden in this ancient forest.

...…..

The region area of the Forest of Chaos, it wasn't affected strongly by the rainy season, but it was still moist and warm. It was a savage region with a low degree of development. The roots of the giant trees intertwined and various kinds of plants and fungi could be found. There were many poisonous snakes, flowers, and grasses, filling each corner of this place with danger.

In the center of this lush jungle.

There was a stretch of open space.

This seemed to be the lair of a demon beast, with several dozen giant lizards crawling around. Each one of them was releasing a terrifying aura. They were covered in emerald scales which reflected the light, making it seem like they were made of emerald. At the center of these lizards was a spring that was filled with strong life energy. When they soaked in this aura, the demon beasts did not even need to hunt to continue growing.

Su, su, su, su!

The sounds of movement suddenly came from the forest.

The giant lizards stood up when they smelled the air, letting out a low warning sound into the forest. That bush full of berries began to tremble a few times as several streak of incomparably sharp sword qi flew out. It instantly slashed through the giant lizard's sparkling scales and caused several lizards to be injured.

"Roar——!"

The lizards angrily counterattacked as they opened their mouths wide open. Without seeing anything come out, several tree roots and bushes on the ground seemed like they were hit by energy as they were blown apart. Each fragment seemed like it was twisted.

Five people wearing cloaks came into sight.

Although these five people were normal humans, the lizards could feel a dangerous aura and immediately attacked together. Who would have known that in this moment, one of the people would wave their hand to crack the space in front of them. The invisible energy released by the lizards were all sucked in by that crack in space.

Dong!

The scales of several lizards were blown off as their energy fell onto themselves.

The lizard king was filled with rage. It stepped off with all four limbs as it threw itself at three people.

A small, white fox jumped out at this time and its small body suddenly changed as it turned into a large demon fox. When the demon fox's eyes stared at it, the lizard king was instantly frozen on the spot. It suddenly turned around as it began to attack the other lizards.

Another person jumped out.

A cold current froze a group of lizards into ice sculptures.

Another person formed a giant sword and used a single slash to turn those ice sculptures to pieces.

There was no suspense in this battle. The several dozen lizards were not weak, but they were only level two demon beasts. There were a few strong lizards that had reached the 8th Awakened Soul Layer, but the weakest among the humans was at the 7th Awakened Soul Layer. There was even an elf in the True Spirit Realm.

That's right.

These five people were none other than Chu Tian's group!

Meng Yingying took out a whistle and blew into it. The surrounding woods began to shake as a large group of people came out. When these people saw the ground covered in lizard corpses, they all began to cheer in joy.

The village head gave Chu Tian several pieces of Sacred Herbs.

This was gratitude to Chu Tian from their group.

This Life Essence Water belonged to their village, but a group of passing lizards had forcefully occupied it. The village tried attacking them several times, but they were sent back heavily injured.

They met five outsiders that were willing to help, causing everything that had just happened.

They never thought that!

Just by eliminating a nest of lizards, they could receive such precious herbs. This was just only a small and unknown village. The Forest of Chaos was truly rich, it could not be compared to the Southern Summer Country!

That night, the spirit beasts had created a fire and were cooking the large pieces of lizard meat. They were all placed over the fire with iron rods and the fragrant fat kept dripping into the flames, letting out sizzling sounds.

The rabbit people were dancing around the fire.

They all had looks of joy on their faces.

Several cute young rabbit girls were carrying cooked lizard meet as they delivered them to Chu Tian with blushed faces. Their eyes were filled with meaning. If there was a need, they would be willing to give special service. There were no moral restraints in the Forest of Chaos, this was especially so for the spirit beasts.

Chu Tian looked at the young rabbit girls with relish.

From their appearances, the rabbit people conformed to the human's standard of beauty, not being covered in fur like some spirit beasts. There were many differences from humans on these spirit beasts, having long bushy rabbit tails, rabbit ears, and etc. The rabbit race did have the style of an exotic beauty.

These young rabbit girls were clearly picked out by the village head to please these people.

Chu Tian had several young rabbit girls stay behind to drink with him, while also asking for information.

Meng Yingying used a prepared Source Energy Cooking Array to cook the meat once again.

"This meat's flavour isn't bad!"

"Really? I feel that it's a bit tough!"

The several people had mouths covered in oil and the little fox had already finished several kilograms of cooked meat. They were surrounded by rabbit people, delicious cooked meat, and unique fruit wine. In this backwater village, everything had a special taste, at least one that couldn't be found in a human kingdom.

There were a total of five people that came this time.

Chen Bingyu, Dongfang Haoran, and Vivian all came as bodyguards. Only Meng Yingying was just here to have fun.

Chu Tian was already a high level Awakened Soul Cultivator being in the 8th Awakened Soul Layer. Meng Yingying had just broken through to the 7th Awakened Soul Layer two days ago, only being a bit later than Nangong Yun and being faster than Meng Qingwu and the others. Because of Vivian's strong requests, Chu Tian had also brought her along as a reward for her diligent cultivation!

In a few days.

They had only arrived in the outer region of the Forest of Chaos.

The Forest of Chaos was very big, at least being several dozen times bigger than the Southern Summer Country. Although this area was mainly covered in forestry, it wasn't all forests. There were also deserts, beaches, and swamps. Other than that, the Forest of Chaos's population density couldn't compare to the Southern Summer Country, but their demon beast density was several times higher.

It was because the Forest of Chaos was too big.

Vivian couldn't tell him clearly about the situation here, she could only introduce those large powers. As for the small and hidden powers, not to mention her who rarely went out, even an elven elder wouldn't be able to describe it clearly.

Meng Yingying bit into a mouthful of cooked meat, "How can we create a base in the Forest of Chaos?"

"Is there a need to say this? Of course it's by stealing a city!" Vivian said without even thinking, "The Forest of Chaos is dotted with tens of thousands of cities which are mainly built on spirit veins with rich spiritual energy, creating rich products and safe environments. As long as we steal a city, we can become its lord and develop a power by operating the city. For a small village like this, it is very moveable and can't establish a name for itself!"

Meng Yingying was very interested, "What are we waiting for? We should just go and steal a city!"

Chu Tian rolled his eyes, "If capturing cities were that easy, the Forest of Chaos would have been united already."

"That's right, that's right!" Vivian nodded in agreement, "The Forest of Chaos is much stronger than the Southern Summer Country. Any city in the forest would have several True Spirit Realm experts guarding it. If you want to capture a city, it's harder than capturing the Southern Summer's Imperial City."

Meng Yingying was speechless.

Any city in the Forest of Chaos had this kind of astonishing strength? With Miracle Commerce's current strength, they wouldn't be able to capture one. Even if they did, they would not be able to defend it. After all, in this chaotic area, the separation of the various races was also very chaotic.

Vivian said with a sigh, "It's a pity that I'm still young, otherwise I could ask my royal father to give me an elven city."

Pu!

These people almost spat out what was in their mouths.

Chu Tian looked at Vivian in shock. Although he knew Vivian's status was not low, he never thought that it would be this high. Could it be her father was the Elven King?

"But now there doesn't seem to be any hope. I can leave home to gain experience, but this matter must be approved by the council. With this stain, the council will not approve of this."

Chapter 363: Little town

Chapter 363: Little town

So what if Vivian could ask for a city?

The elves isolated themselves and especially feared humans. They would not allow humans to live in elven cities and they would not allow humans to manage their cities. Having Chu Tian live in an elven city was rather a restraint.

The Forest of Chaos environment was different from the Southern Summer Country. If one's fist was not hard enough, they wouldn't be able to stay no matter how many they had. This was also the reason why Chu Tian was not in a rush to find an ally. In this lawless and chaotic place, one would attack as they pleased. As long as there was profit, there would be no reasoning at all.

"Honoured guests." The rabbit people village head walked over leaning on a cane. He spoke in a fearful and respectful voice, "You have helped this village reclaim our spring and we are very grateful to you. Is there anything we can help you with?"

The rabbit people were a type of spirit beasts, but they were low class spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts were one of the most complex races on the continent.

Humans had dwarves, barbarians, and giants as distant relatives. The elves had forest elves, snow elves, fire elves, and other differences. However, there has never been a race like the spirit beasts that could have several hundred branches, with each branch being a separate species. This was actually very incredible.

The characteristics of a spirit beast lied in the higher level of a spirit beast, the crueler they were and the lower level of a spirit beast, the more docile they were. The rabbit race was a species that didn't like fighting because they were very weak. The rabbit race usually lived with higher level races. There weren't many of these independent rabbit race villages because once they targeted by other race hunters or strong demon beasts, they would all be wiped out.

The rabbit race did not have many skills and weren't very civilized, not even understanding source energy arrays, not to mention alchemy and other skills. The Spring of Life was the only way for the rabbit race to survive. Chu Tian's group recapturing the spring from the demon beasts was a very large favour to the rabbit race.

The rabbit race was only worried of them having other plans. If these people had bad intentions in their hearts, this village could not be saved. The rabbit people would have to evacuate as soon as possible or they would be completely destroyed.

"We are just a few ordinary adventurers. We came into the Forest of Chaos this time to purchase some materials. But we are not familiar with the people and land of the Forest of Chaos, so we don't know where to buy materials. We have to ask the village head for some advice.

When they didn't have enough strength, it wasn't bad to be low key.

Chu Tian had already thought of a goal for this trip into the Forest of Chaos, they just wanted to secure a supply of materials for Miracle Commerce. He wanted to supply Miracle Commerce with high level materials to satisfy the needs in making the Source Energy Weapons. He would not be participating in the battles of the Forest of Chaos for now.

Capturing a city to create a power? Forget it! With their current power, any random tribe would be enough to destroy Miracle Commerce!

Everything would be ruined by rushing, he would first create the berserker army before saying anything else!

"Around a hundred miles from here, there is an inhabited area which is a temporary little town. When the village needs to exchange for supplies, we always go to that little town." The rabbit village head let out a sigh of relief, "This little town is not big, but it carries many of the forest's special products. If sir does not find anything satisfying, perhaps you can also obtain information from there."

A temporary little town?

Chu Tian could understand this!

For the small and even medium sized powers in this forest, they all needed to follow the dark forest law. The dark forest law were not hard to understand, they meant that in a dark forest, there were many hunters. These hunters all hunted each other's prey, so it was necessary to hide oneself in this kind of environment.

Once that was revealed.

It would be very risky!

Not only would it invite other hunters, it would also attract the attention of certain giants. This would invite the danger of being annexed or completely exterminated. Therefore, for the small and medium powers that didn't establish a city, they could only follow the dark forest law if they wanted to develop in the Forest of Chaos.

Because they didn't dare reveal themselves, how could they exchange for supplies with others? This kind of temporary little town was one method of doing so. When a village needed supplies, they would disguise themselves to come to this little town. After obtaining the things they need, they would immediately leave this place, not daring to remain longer or else they would attract the attention of others.

Since they had obtained information, they would now leave.

"Sir, please wait."

The rabbit race village head could see Chu Tian was the leader. He softly clapped his hands and several beautiful rabbit girls came out. These rabbit girls were all dressed up and were looking at Chu Tian with watery eyes.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"These are the ten most beautiful girls in our village and are all virgins. We are giving them to sir to have them become sir's maids. The rabbit race is very docile and will properly serve sir."

Fuck, it can't be!

Chu Tian was a bit stunned.

The rabbit race did look a bit strange because they were a different race from humans. But from the aesthetic sense of a human, the rabbit had petite, full, and soft bodies, they were excellent female servants. In the human world, a single beautiful rabbit could be sold for a very high price, not to mention a virgin.

However, Chu Tian could clearly feel a knife like gaze staring at him. Even Chen Bingyu was silently staring at him and Vivian had knit her brows.

How could he want them?

Chu Tian righteously declined, "Am I, Chu Tian someone who is eager for beauties and steps over others? I understand the village head's good intentions, but I can't accept this kind of gift."

The rabbit race village head said, "No, it is their honour. I hope sir will not decline."

These words were not false, the young rabbit girls revealed looks of hope. They lived in the Forest of Chaos, living every day dangerously. If they could become the maid of an expert, it would be like turning into a phoenix. Not to mention the fact that humans conformed to the rabbit race's aesthetics, it was better than a fierce looking tiger race or bear race person.

From the perspective of the rabbit village, they could also monitor Chu Tian. If Chu Tian were to give the position of the rabbit race's village away, these rabbit girls could come back to report and protect the village.

In the Forest of Chaos, they had no choice but to be careful!

"Village head, don't force it. The temporary little town is not safe, so it isn't safe for us to bring these girls along!" Meng Yingying suddenly stood up and said, "We'll leave them here for now and take them when we have a chance. We'll do this first!"

The rabbit race village chief saw that the other side was not willing, so he felt a bit of loss in his heart.

Were your truly noble in not seeking small profit or were you prepared to want more?

It was hard to tell if this was a blessing or a misfortune!

The rabbit race village chief looked at Meng Yingying, Vivian, and Chen Bingyu for a few seconds. This person had so many beauties by his side, perhaps the mediocre girls of the rabbit race village really couldn't catch his eyes. At least he could only comfort himself like this.

Chu Tian left the little village!

Meng Yingying coughed twice before saying, "You've lost ten beautiful maids, are you disappointed?"

"How could that be? I, Chu Tian am not that kind of person! I am an advocate of free love, this kind of buying and selling business needs a firm mind!"

"Who know what kind of things you're thinking!" Meng Yingying rolled her eyes. She looked back at the rabbit village covered in faint light and sighed, "But these rabbit people are really pitiful. They're this weak and have to live in this dangerous environment, I'm afraid them being discovered and eliminated is just a matter of time. But it's truly strange, the Forest of Chaos is this rich in resources, why do they fight each other so brutally?"

"The Forest of Chaos has always been like this, it's either you die or I die." Vivian didn't find this strange anymore, "It has always been hard for a small power to survive. As long as they are set on by a stronger power, they will be attacked without any hesitation."

Meng Yingying said to Chu Tian, "Hey, since this place is so chaotic, you should unify it and allow those weak races to live in peace!"

Damn, look at your tone! You say it like it's easy to do!

Not to mention the others, how do I even deal with the Dragon Lord?

The weapons that Chu Tian had produced up to now couldn't even hurt a single one of his scales. Not to mention the other strong existences like the Elven King, the Titans, the Beast King, and the Sea King!

But Chu Tian was not someone that feared others, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Since it's Yingying's orders, then I have to do my best to complete it!"

Meng Yingying revealed a sweet smile as her heart filled with satisfaction. Chu Tian had already said this, that meant there was no problem since there was nothing he couldn't do in this world! Vivian was envious of the relationship Yingying and Chu Tian had, Chu Tian was the person she worshipped!

When the five of them left, it was already the middle of the night.

Travelling the forest by night was very dangerous because it was filled with demon beasts. No one wanted to travel at night, but Chu Tian was filled with courage, not thinking that anything that could threaten him would appear on the edge of the Forest of Chaos.

The Forest of Chaos was filled with fireflies, sunlight vines, glowing grass, fluorescent mushrooms, and etc. They automatically glowed at night and although it wasn't bright, it wasn't dark enough that they couldn't see their hands in front of them. Of course, not all things filled with light were good. There were someone monsters that used beautiful light and illusions to confuse people, attracting prey to them.

This beautiful and magical scene was actually lurking with dangers. The sounds of insects filled the forest and demon beasts roars could be occasionally heard.

The five of them did not stop for a second.

Although they were attacked several times on the road, they all avoided it without any danger. Finally they arrived at their destination in the early morning.

The rosy clouds draped over the forest like flames and the light golden sunlight was draped over the little town which blended into the dense forest around it. If it wasn't for the rabbit race village head, even if they approached it, they would not know there was a little town hidden there. It was completely hidden, being covered in green vines, almost becoming part of the forest.

Saldo was the spirit beast's word for "Forest House", so the majority of people in this little town were spirit beasts.

This town had no guards or leader. In this place where law didn't mean shit, one's strength represented everything and whoever's fist was harder could act however they pleased.

What made Chu Tian very surprised was that although it was small and shabby with less than several thousand people living here, there were bars, general stores, and other stores. However to settle down here, they definitely were not ordinary people.

For example, the boss of the alchemist guild, he was a criminal that had escaped the Great Zhou Country.

The alchemy skills of this person was very skilled, refining a poison that killed three hundred people from an enemy noble clan, causing him to run flee from the Great Zhou Country to the Forest of Chaos. He was hiding in this small town, being one of the few humans living here.

Over these years, he had mixed himself into this society.

Because alchemists were very rare here, when the important people of various villages were sick, they all came to him for treatment. Therefore in just a few years, this fellow had recruited many female apprentices who all had exceptional beauty.

These female apprentices only learned simple medicinal knowledge, helping in the day and draining his desires at night. When a customer liked one of them, he would be free to use them which would become an additional fee added to their medical fee. There were times when this income was higher than proper income.

These girls did not have any possessions and had to endure torment all day long, but they were satisfied with their masters and their lifestyles.

If it wasn't for the small status of their master, how could they fill their stomachs and live safe lives?

After all, slaves were no different from bugs here.

Alcohol, tobacco, drugs, slaves, violence, and sex trade...This small town was just a small part of the Forest of Chaos, but it represented the situation of the majority of the Forest of Chaos.

Chapter 364: Hotel

Chapter 364: Hotel

The small town gave people a very strange feeling. Every person tightly wrapped up, not only wearing a large hood, but also wearing all kinds of strange masks. They all rushed around without talking to people.

This was a convenient town made to exchange materials, so most of the moving population came from the surrounding villages, so they were all on guard against each other. As for the population living in the town? Whether it was the Great Zhou Country's alchemist or the boss of the weapon shop, they were all criminals who had escaped from somewhere. Each person was a hidden danger.

Who was willing to deal with these kinds of people?

There were also a kind of people hiding in the little town.

They were hunters, robbers, or slavers. Their jobs were to find suitable villages and slaughter them for profit. Rabbit race, fox race, and elven girls could all be sold for a good price. As for dwarves, bear race, tiger race, and etc. would all make good slaves.

The Forest of Chaos was rich and even the smallest village would have several treasures stored. Therefore, plundering and slaughtering was the fastest way of becoming rich. There were no laws or rules here, who could resist this kind of enticement?

Being surrounded by all this danger, the small town in the Forest of Chaos was different from that of a civilized country.

Coming here each time was very dangerous.

It was not just a danger to one's own life, it could even destroy one's entire tribe!

It was because of this that Chu Tian's group was too eye catching. The five of them did not hide themselves and were just swaggering around. Other than the elf that they couldn't judge, the other four looked very young and did not seem very powerful, so how could they not be eye catching?

They were simply large pieces of meat!

After the five of them had arrived in the small town, they felt over ten different gazes filled with bad intent.

"Dongfang, go and ask around." Chu Tian ignored the person in the corner sharpening his knife, "Dongfang, go and ask around to see if this town has the things we want."

"Alright!"

Dongfang Haoran turned to leave.

This Dongfang Haoran was the previous Southern Summer King's eldest son. He had the chance to become the new Southern Summer King and had now joined Miracle Commerce. Destiny truly played people. However, Dongfang Haoran was not interested in the king's throne, he could grow better from being in Miracle Commerce.

This fellow was a uncut jade. As long as he carved him properly, he could become another Calm Martial Ruler or even surpass Dongfang Gan.

Chu Tian had already decided to train Dongfang Haoran into Miracle Commerce's general. Commanding the Miracle Commerce's armies would all depend on him from now on. However, Dongfang Haoran was still too young, so bringing him along for experience was a good thing.

"We should find a place to rest, there should be a hotel here!"

The four of them had not even taken four steps.

"Stop!"

Several strong and large figures appeared in front of them, with each person holding a weapon.

Chu Tian looked at them. There were a few fierce looking foreign races, mouse race thieves, large barbarian men, and a green scaled lizard man as the leader. Because of how close they were, Chu Tian could even smell the fierce stench coming from their bodies.

Chu Tian knit his brows, "Can I help you?"

The people looked at each other as they revealed looks of greed.

"Your goods aren't bad!" That lizard man leader three down three low quality source stones and pointed behind Chu Tian as he said, "Those three women, I'll buy them! Take this money and scram!"

Chu Tian was a bit stunned. What was he doing?

Three pieces of low quality source stones?

That fierce looking lizard man looked at Chu Tian, "Are you deaf? The money has already given to you, the women are now ours. If you don't scram soon, be careful we'll teach you a fierce lesson! Go ask around, who dares to offend me in this small town!"

Meng Yingying, Vivian, and Chen Bingyu's faces fell.

Although they knew the Forest of Chaos' environment was bad, they never thought anyone would act this unscrupulous and unreasonable in broad daylight. It really filled them with rage. Although there were many people surrounding them, they were all there to watch the fun.

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems like you don't understand the situation!"

"Refusing to accept a toast!" The lizard man pulled out the sword at his waist and released an emerald green spirit energy, "Then you can die!"

Not weak!

He was in the Illustrious Soul Realm!

In this unknown little town, even the smallest character was at the 4th Awakened Soul Layer. It was no wonder they could act so arrogantly, the entire strength of the Forest of Chaos was way above that of the Southern Summer Country. However, he offended the wrong people!

Dang!

No one could clearly see what was going on.

The lizard man chopped down on that ice crystal like blade with his blade, but his blade was instantly shattered like tofu. The lizard man's people were all shocked. This was a high level Soul Weapon, but it actually shattered instantly, how was that possible?

"I want this sword!"

The lizard man's wrist swept out like a eagle claw, trying to grab this sword. Chu Tian's wrist flicked and the Netherworld Sword came out. Before the lizard man knew what had happened, his entire arm had been cut off. He gave a pitiful cry as he held his broken arm and moved back, but that cut off stub was covered in blue white Netherworld Flames.

The flames quickly spread, withering his muscles wherever it went. It spread over his entire body in just a few seconds and that strong man turned into as thin as bones, instantly disintegrating and turning into ashes.

The other people all revealed looks of terror seeing this.

They couldn't understand no matter how they thought about it. Only the neighbouring small villages knew about this small town, how could such a powerful character appear in a small village?

It seems like it was too late to run!

Chen Bingyu raised her hand and large amounts of crystalline snowflakes flew out, instantly hitting those people. Several sharp ice thorns formed in these people turning them into giant ice porcupines, not being able to resist at all as they were instantly killed.

Meng Yingying spat at the corpse as she said, "These fellows wanted to have ideas about us?"

This kind of bad people, even Meng Yingying would not have pity on them!

The surrounding people were all filled with fear. Wherever these four people went, everyone moved away from them, with no one daring to approach them. If they could kill some fools to stop others from bothering them, that would be better, but would the situation proceed like Chu Tian wanted?

The surrounding people were talking in whispers with eyes that were filled with schadenfreude, looking like they had just seen a good place. Chu Tian knew that this matter would not pass as simple as he wanted it to. However, even if it was like this, Chu Tian was not afraid. He did not believe that a small village on the border of the Forest of Chaos would have anything that would threaten him.

"This is considered a hotel?"

Meng Yingying stood in front of an incomparably crude stone house that seemed like several stone balls buried in the ground. It was covered in vines and moss, with poisonous insects crawling through the cracks. The inside of the stone building was not good, with each room being sealed, not even having windows.

There were no lamps.

The light in here was something filled with the illuminated liquid of fluorescent bugs.

Each stone room was less than two meters tall and the inside was less than ten square meters, just like a dog kennel.

Meng Yingying felt that it would be better to camp in the forest than to live in a place like this. In the Forest of Chaos, safety was the number one concern. Although they were very crude, they were quite firm on the other hand.

What made it impossible for Meng Yingying, Vivian, and the others hard to accept was.

The owner of the hotel was an orc.

The orc was a different race from the spirit beast and there were many of them living in the Forest of Chaos. Their specialty was their green skin and incomparably strong bodies. They had two large buckteeth and looked more barbaric than the barbarians.

The orc boss was wearing an apron with a body that was covered in scars and two short axes on his back. There were several dozen long hair braids on his back and his mouth was filled with stink, which could knock people out from three meters away. The wall behind him was covered in the meat of various demon beast meat which already had maggots in them and there were bottles of wine brewed from an unknown ingredient.

"Looking for a room?" The orc said in the spirit beast language, "Each day is a single low grade source stone!"

"So expensive!" Meng Yingying's eyes went wide. One low grade source stone was worth one million gold coins and four-five million gold coins were enough to buy a good hotel in the Southern Summer Country, "You must be cheating us because we're outsiders!"

The orc dug through his large nose as he ignored Vivian and Meng Yingying's disgust. He pulled out a sticky booger from within, "So what if I'm cheating you? It's your choice!"

"You..."

"Yingying, enough!" Chu Tian didn't want to cause trouble, so he took out three low grade source stones, "At most three stones, take us to a room!"

The orc's eyes lit up and immediately took the source stones. He had a smile on his face, "Good, good, come with me!"

That green skinned fellow led them to a room.

Meng Yingying looked at this dirty orc and she began muttering in her heart. The orcs were known as the most notorious race, even more so than the barbarians. Was it worthwhile to live in this kind of place?

When the orc boss received the money, he instantly became much warmer.

Dongfang Haoran came back at this time, "I didn't find any ores being sold at the market, there were only local products being sold here."

Was this a futile journey?

They even had to live in this damn place!

"It's not strange at all. A little town's weapon refining skills are low, so they might not even be able to harvest high level ores even if they find them. Even if they can harvest them, they wouldn't be able to refine them." Chu Tian shook his head as he said, "At least this isn't a fruitless journey. At least we can obtain more information in this little town, perhaps even finding the closest city."

While they were talking.

The orc boss came back carrying a dirty tray. He warmly placed it in front of everyone and they saw that there was a bottle of wine and several black pieces of beast meat.

The boss took his greasy and dirty hand and rubbed it against his dirty apron twice. He revealed a large grin, revealing his frightening yellow buckteeth, "Honourable guest, please have a taste, this is our orc clan's wine. It's free of charge and you're sure to love it!"

After saying this, he personally poured a cup and gave it to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian looked at the muddy liquid in the cup and his expression became strange.

The orc boss was very angry, "In the orc tribe, rejecting the wine of friendship is a very big offense!"

"Old brother, it's fine if you drug the wine." Chu Tian said with a voice filled with disgust, "Can't you use a better wine at least? If you give this kind of muddy wine, who are you hoping will drink this!"

The orc boss was shocked.

He had bought this poison from the town's alchemist and he was promised it wouldn't be see through. There were many foreign visitors who had been poisoned to death by the orc boss, so how could this fellow see through it.

"You dare reject kindness!" The orc boss slammed the cup down and took out his two short axes. In a fierce voice, he said, "I'll let you see the consequences of rejecting an orc's goodwill!"

The hard treatment after the soft treatment failed?

Dongfang Haoran kicked out and the orc boss was sent out the door.

This powerful?

The orc boss quickly stood up. Before he could even speak, an arrow pierced through the stone wall and penetrated the orc boss' chest.

Da...Damn!

Where did this arrow come from!

The orc boss did not even understand how he died.

More and more arrows came through the walls on all sides, wildly being fired at the people inside the hotel. It was clear the people shooting from outside the hotel wanted to kill the people inside. Chu Tian's group of five felt this was very strange. Who the heck was shooting outside? Could this place become even more chaotic?

"I'll do it!"

Vivian opened an opening in space and brought everyone out of the hotel.

Chapter 365: Spider coun

Chapter 365: Spider count

There were several dozen bandits of different races that had tightly surrounded the small town's hotel. Each person was shooting into the hotel with the box in their hands. They clearly weren't normal people because each arrow contained strong spirit energy that could easily pierce the little stone house.

That orc boss was shot to death by the arrows.

"This is the consequences of offending us!"

The serpent race leader summoned several large fireballs.

The small and tattered inn finally collapsed from the explosion. The raging flames burned the hotel to ashes and under that high temperature, the corpses were turned into charcoal.

"Humph!" The serpent race head waved his hand, "They should be dead already. Pull out the corpses and let everyone have a look at it. I want to see who it was that dared to kill my Si Ke's subordinates!"

"Yes!"

The fierce bandits rushed over to put out the flames and immediately began to look for the corpses.

"Boss, there's no one here?"

"What did you say?"

The serpent man Si Ke was stunned.

This is impossible. They were clearly here, could those people have evaporated?

A voice came from behind them at this time.

"Hi, are you looking for me?"

Si Ke turned around and people people appeared behind him, less than ten meters away. It was as if they had been standing there a long time ago, but Si Ke did not notice them at all.

These four humans and one elf.

Aren't these the people who had offended his people!

Now they were strangely appearing behind him unscathed.

Meng Yingying looked at the other side and said in a disgusted voice, "What kind of race is this, they're even uglier than the last one!"

The serpent race was not a spirit beast, but its own race. The bottom half of their body was a snake's body and the top half was a human body, but their skin was still covered in fine scales. His eyes were cloudy and cold, his voice was low and numb, and his tongue was also forked, so he looked very ugly.

These fellows should be in the same group as the lizard man. This motley crew had all kinds of races, clearly this was a group of bandits that dominated the area.

"Damn, daring to play tricks on me!"

Chu Tian revealed a taunting face, "Playing tricks on you? Are you worthy!"

Si Ke's forked tongue popped in and out as his serpent eyes were filled with rage, "Do you know who I am?"

"Fuck, does it matter to me who the fuck you are!" Chu Tian impatiently waved his hand, "He is truly loud, who can make him shut up?"

Chen Bingyu and Dongfang Haoran stood out.

Si Ke drew out a trident, "You dare challenge the great Si Ke just depending on you. Overestimating your strength, die!"

Si Ke's three meter long tail kicked off and he jumped off the ground. He charged forward like a green meteor, with a dark green poisonous snake source spirit appearing, surrounding him in a green poison cloud.

A poison attributed source spirit?

This kind of source spirit was a bit hard to deal with!

But this serpent man was only in the 7th Awakened Soul Layer. Although he could be considered in the True Soul Realm and could be considered a senior elder if placed in the Three Great Clans, being considered an expert in the Southern Summer Country, meeting Chu Tian's group, he could only be considered unlucky.

Finally Chen Bingyu directly grabbed the trident.

Si Ke revealed a sinister cold smile, "Seeking death!"

Large amounts of green poison gushed out of the trident and instantly sprinkled onto Chen Bingyu. This poison had a strong corrosiveness to it that could easily corrode a True Soul Realm Cultivator's protective spirit energy. This girl actually grabbed this attack, she was no different from a dead person.

Who would have thought that Chen Bingyu would have no reaction at all.

This was a strong corrosive venom, but it could not corrode through the Starlight Immortal Body and could not injure Chen Bingyu at all. Instead Chen Bingyu released a cold energy that sealed all of the poison. The cold ice spread across the trident, moving towards the serpent man's body.

The serpent man began to retreat when he saw this was bad.

Ah!

A pitiful scream rang out.

Si Ke did retreat, but a pair of frozen arms holding the trident shattered off and fell to the ground.

This fellow's hands had been crippled!

Everyone was shocked. Si Ke was not weak, but he was defeated this easily and the human girl did not even use her full strength. This meant that this human's strength far surpassed everyone's here.

"You, you…..If you dare kill me, you will definitely regret it!"

Si Ke retreated in terror. Dongfang Gan's source spirit turned into a flaming giant sword. With a step of his feet, he flew out and the sword glow instantly appeared in front of Si Ke.

"Wait a minute! I am the great Spider Count Kanun's subordinate….."

He did not even get to finish.

Dongfang Gan had already passed through him and the terrifying sword glow did not slice his body in half, it had turned him into a pile of flesh. There was also a deep mark that formed in the ground!

"Boss is dead!"

"Everyone, escape!"

This group of lackeys usually only bullied people in small villages, how could they have ever met such a powerful person?

They were scared shitless in just an instant. Chen Bingyu and Dongfang Gan charged forward. There was a series of pitiful cries and begs of mercy, but in just a few seconds, everything returned to normal.

If they didn't turn into ice sculptures, they turned into piles of flesh. In short, there was not a single person left standing.

"Si Ke is dead!"

"Si Ke is dead!"

This group was clearly the local bullies. When the serpent man and his subordinates were all killed, the other people in the small town all revealed looks of horror!

"Everyone calm down, everyone calm down!" Chu Tian was feeling very good. He raised his hands and said, "You don't need to thank me or worship me. Saving the people from evil and punishing the wicked, this is what I should do!"

Vivian doubtfully said, "Big brother Chu Tian, they probably won't thank us."

Why?

Chu Tian was a bit stunned. When he looked over the crowd, he saw these people weren't weeping in joy, but rather they all revealed looks of terror.

"Si Ke has been killed!"

"This little town is done for, this little town is done for!"

"Damn, where did these people come from? It was hard for us to establish this little town, but it was destroyed by them!"

"Quickly leave! We can't withstand Kanun's rage!"

These people did not feel any joy, rather they felt like a disaster was imminent. They looked at Chu Tian's group, but they did not have any joy in their eyes, rather it was filled with anger. If it wasn't for their strength, they would have tied they up already to plead for forgiveness from Kanun!

"What is going on here?" Meng Yingying scratched her head, "Could it be by killing some bad people we were in the wrong? What kind of logic is this!"

When she saw the eyes filled with anger, fear, and blaming.

Meng Yingying felt that her own views were subverted!

Killing bad people is considered wrong now?

Chu Tian knit his brows. These fellows did not seem simple. The power structure of the Forest of Chaos was structured and these fellows could have been under another power, so they could act unbridled in this small town. The reason why the small town was not smashed could be because of this power's protection!

"You can't blame them." Chu Tian patted Meng Yingying's shoulder, "It's hard for these low influences to form a small town and many villages depend on this small town for survival. Now that they might not be able to protect it, of course they would hate us."

"What do we do?"

"We're not wrong either!" Chu Tian gave a shrug, "Could we just allow them to bully us and swallow that anger? That is not my style! You don't need to think too much, there are many things in this world that are hard to classify as right or wrong. We should look at these fellows' place and see if we can find any clues. It's best if we clearly investigate the count behind the serpent man, I don't want to cause trouble without any information."

Who was the Spider Count Kanun?

Vivian hadn't heard of him before, so he shouldn't be anybody important!

Si Ke's group were slavers in the Forest of Chaos, but after meeting the Spider Count, they became his subordinates. They were the Spider Count's agents in this small town, collecting protection money and other fees. Of course, most of this money was moved up.

In a place like the Forest of Chaos, one could not survive without a strong enough protective umbrella.

The Spider Count Kanun's fame was not small, it was his fame that protected this small town from being smashed by outsiders. Si Ke as his agent naturally had no one go against him, so he acted in an overbearing manner in this small town. Not only did he crush the other villages, he also promoted the businesses of his people.

"This poor beast doesn't have any property at all!"

Chu Tian searched the place Si Ke lived.

This a dungeon that held over a hundred people and was filled with Si Ke's items. Chu Tian found around one-two hundred low grade source stones which wasn't a small amount to normal people, but it could not enter Chu Tian's eyes!

"Open the dungeons and let the people out."

Chu Tian naturally did not have any interest in becoming a slaver, so he opened the dungeons and let the people go.

However, at this time, there was a special slave that caught Chu Tian's attention. This was a man who was only one meter and thirty centimeters, being even shorter than Vivian. His muscles were very developed and he had a red beard covering his face. His age was around fifty human years.

Dwarf?

Why was there even a dwarf!

The dwarves were famous for their blacksmithing!

Each dwarf was blessed with talents in blacksmithing, so the price of a dwarf slave was not low! The most important part was that dwarves usually lived in mines. If he could find a single dwarf, how could Chu Tian not find the high level ores he needed?

Chu Tian quickly had him stay.

Dongfang Haoran carried the dwarf as he walked over and placed him in front of Chu Tian.

The dwarf was mumbling a lot while his little eyes formed circles, looking very angry.

Meng Yingying did not understand the dwarf language, "What is he saying?"

Vivian explained, "The dwarf is treating us as bad people! He thinks we're also slave traders!"

Chu Tian explained everything in the dwarf language before discussing the matter of obtaining ores. After all their trip into the Forest of Chaos this time was primarily to buy ores.

It was impossible for the dwarves not to know about ores.

This was something they depended on to eat!

The dwarf half doubted Chu Tian. He spoke in a heavily accented human language, "You aren't Kanun's lackeys?"

"So you can speak the human language!" Meng Yingying rolled her eyes, "We don't even know who Kanun is. You just need to tell us if there are ores or not, we need them!"

The dwarf revealed a dejected expression, "There are many ores in the dwarves' mine tunnel, only….."

"Only what?"

The dwarf revealed a look of anger, "Our mine tunnels were taken away!"

"Taken? Who did it!"

"The Spider Count Kanun!"

Good. Chu Tian patted his head. This really did go in a circle!

But speaking of this, just who was this fellow?

Chapter 366: Oldman mines

Chapter 366: Oldman mines

The dwarves were naturally cautious against humans.

This was for the same reason why elves were cautious against humans.

Humans were one of the most complicated races on the continent. Saying they were noble did not fit and saying they were evil was not completely right, but the slavers and hunters in the Forest of Chaos were mostly composed of humans. Humans were gradually becoming the richest and most technologically advanced race on the continent.

Although the humans were still weaker than the spirit beasts and elves by a bit, their potential could be imagined.

The dwarves already had nothing.

Even being on alert, there was nothing to lie about, so he said everything he could say.

This dwarf's name was Tino Oldman and he lived in the Oldman Mines two hundred kilometers away. The Oldman Mines in its peak had around fifty thousand dwarves and over a hundred years of development, they had created a giant underground palace.

The dwarves had the same personality as the dragons, having a strong hobby of collecting things, liking to collect precious items. However, they did not want everything like the dragons and the dwarves only like collecting minerals. They liked precious metals, precious crystals, or divine weapons.

So the mines being operated for over a hundred years was no different from a hidden treasure!

This also became the source of their disasters!

The dwarves followed the dark forest principle and hid themselves from others. The only difference between them and other races was that once other races were discovered, they would immediately leave, but the dwarves would never let go of their mines.

When the Oldman Mine was revealed, it attracted countless people's greed.

But the dwarves were warriors by natural. They had very strong weapons and their warriors were very strong. Adding in the defenses built over a hundred years, it was hard for invaders to break through. They had been constantly attacked over the years, but the dwarves had won every time. Only, these fights consumed the dwarves' population, with only around half of their peak population remaining.

When the dwarves had been exhausted.

A powerful enemy had appeared!

This fellow was named the "Spider Count", Kanun!

Kanun used large amounts of bandits to attack from outside and sent a spider troop to launch an ambush in a tunnel they dug. After a long and tragic battle, the dwarves either died or were captured. The entire Oldman Mine had fallen to the enemy and even those that were lucky to escape were powerless.

The hundred years of dwarf wealth was occupied by Kanun and over a thousand dwarves were sent into human countries as slaves. The Oldman dwarf tribe was finished.

Tino drank wine cup after cup with a face filled with bitterness.

Vivian was filled with righteous indignation, "A nameless person this princess has never heard of actually dares to act this overbearing! Brother dwarf, don't worry, we will help you steal back your mines!"

Meng Yingying scratched her head as she was a bit confused, "I know Spirit Beasts and Elves, but what are Spirit Insects?"

From the nickname "Spider Count" and the description from the dwarf, it was clear this fellow was a Spirit Insect.

The Forest of Chaos did not just have the strong powers on the surface, there were also powers that were hidden that no one knew about. The Spirit Insects were one of these powers. Although they were strong and the elves had knowledge on them, they were not certain on anything.

The Spirit Insects were specially, generally living underground. Most of the cities underground were ruled by the Spirit Insects, so in terms of influence, the Spirit Insects were not below the elves or the spirit beasts. However, because the Spirit Insects live underground rarely fight against the elves and spirit beasts, it was hard to estimate how strong they were.

There were some elven elders that have given their views on this. All signs indicated that the Spirit Insects hidden underneath the Forest of Chaos were more powerful than they expected. They were one of the most mysterious powers in the Forest of Chaos and the elves had to prepare protection against them.

But some elves believed that the Spirit Insects were like the Spirit Beasts. There were many different races and various Spirit Insects fought with each other, with battle intensity that didn't lose to the surface. Although there were many of them, there was no need for worry.

No matter whose views were correct, the large amount of Spirit Insects in the Forest of Chaos was a fact.

From what Tino described, the Spider Count Kanun was very strong and he had an army of at least twenty-thirty thousand people who formed a strong army.

Although Chu Tian's group was strong, if they met a battle with higher quantities, they would be consumed by the masses of soldiers in the end.

Once their spirit energy was used up, their higher cultivation would have no use!

"Our people are not enough, how many dwarf soldiers are left!"

Although the dwarves were not smart, the matter concerning his comrades' position he had to be careful about. Who could tell if this fellow was someone sent by Kanun to take care of the remaining dwarves?

"If there is no basic trust, how can we help you?"

"Human, why should I trust you?" Tino coldly said, "Would you help the dwarves fight out of good intentions?"

"Dwarf, look at this!" Vivian suddenly released a powerful spirit energy and a spatial dagger appeared in midair, "If you still think that I am Kanun's subordinate, I have nothing else to say to you!"

This spirit energy...True Spirit Realm!

This was a space attributed Source Spirit!

A True Spirit Realm was very rare, not to mention one with natural spatial energy. Kanun had a lot of skills, but he could not find this kind of person to work under him. Not to mention the fact that Vivian was an elf and the elves were a quite trustworthy race.

"The dwarves have five thousand warriors in a new mine preparing to fight!" Tino was no longer hesitant as he stood up and said, "As long as you help the dwarves recapture Oldman Mine, we are willing to accept any conditions you have!"

Five thousand people?

The amount was a bit short, but it was still enough!

This place was very far from the Southern Summer Country, so Chu Tian could not bring his army along and could only fight with what he had. The dwarves were brave warriors, so five thousand people was not a weak force.

The dwarves were gathering in a mine that had been developed for less than two years.

From the surface it looked like a cave which had long rails running through the middle and black iron carts on the rails. The forging room had just been built, so it looked very simple.

The five thousand dwarves were hiding inside, planning on how to recapture Oldman Mine.

Although they knew that with the strength of five thousand people, it was no different from sending themselves to their deaths, the dwarves were a stubborn people and they had to try no matter what.

When Tino brought in reinforcements at this time, the other dwarves were very surprised. An old dwarf chief was skeptical of their strength, after all, these humans and the elf were all very young.

Chu Tian felt that to negotiate with these fellows, he had to show his strength first.

"Yingying, you can go." Chu Tian said to the dwarf chief, "This is the one with the lowest cultivation among us. If the old chief is able to touch a single one of her hair, we will help the dwarves for free."

"Arrogant humans!" The old chief disdainfully said, "I have an 8th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivation and the dwarf's cultivation technique is very strong. Even a 9th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator would not dare promise he would be uninjured, how can you be this confident?"

"This is only a bet." Chu Tian softly said, "If you can't hurt her, after we defeat Kanun, I want half of the treasures in the dwarf mines!"

Half?!

Every dwarf was foaming with rage.

This fellow was too greedy, immediately asking for half!

The reserves of the Oldman Mine was the dwarves' collection over a hundred years!

Kanun had only seized Oldman Mine for less than half a year, so he wouldn't have had time to move most of it. Half of what remained was a shocking number! This fellow dared to talk this boldly!"

"It's very fair." Chu Tian did not feel this price was high at all, "If we five don't help you, your five thousand people shouldn't even mention half, you would just be sending yourselves to death!"

The dwarves were famous for being stubborn.

How could they accept this kind of arrogance?

A dwarf shouted out, "You five people want to take half, don't you feel you're being too greedy?"

"We are quality over quantity. The reward and risk are balanced." Chu Tian did not make any concessions, "No one knows if there is a stronger power behind Kanun or not, so helping you all this time is a very large risk for us!"

"Good, I'll bet with you!" The dwarf picked up a battle hammer. The hammer was completely black and the light of flames surrounded it. From the powerful aura it released, it was clear this was a Soul Contracting Weapon, "I want to see if you can block an attack from me!"

The might of a Soul Contracting Weapon was terrifying!

The dwarf's old chieftain had a deep 8th Awakened Soul Layer cultivation!

The most important part is that the dwarf's cultivation technique is famous for being fierce and overbearing. Even if a 9th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator took this hammer at close range, if they weren't dead, they would still be seriously injured.

Meng Yingying gave a snort as her body released starlight, "Just go all out. If I dodge at all, it is your win!"

The old chief gave a low roar before his feet shattered the ground with his strength. The giant hammer released an intense flame as the entire mine's air began to burn. When the hammer was heavily slammed down, the surrounding air began to crack, like an old fire dragon waving its hand.

Meng Yingying's slender brows jumped up. The dwarf's strength was really strong and the disdain she felt immediately disappeared. She released her source spirit which was the smooth and beautiful mirror. The mirror released a glow that instantly covered Meng Yingying's body.

Meng Yingying's Mirror Source Spirit had two abilities.

The first ability was imitation. As long as she was strong enough, Meng Yingying could copy any cultivation technique or source spirit. Although it was only temporary, this allowed her to use various skills.

The second ability was reflection. This ability was a defensive skill. When Meng Yingying was attacked, her source spirit could reflect a portion of the power.

When the Starlight Immortal Body and the Mirror Source Spirit was released at the same time, Meng Yingying's defensive ability doubled.

When the dwarf chief's wild hammer strike landed on Meng Yingying, they heard the sound of an explosion as the ground around them was cracked by their power. Meng Yingying used her arms to block it and was not injured at all.

"What?!"

The dwarf's chief was shocked. The power that could move mountains was reflected back like a mountain and the dwarf chief spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying into the wall and instantly created a large hole.

"Chief!"

The other dwarves were all shocked!

Meng Yingying revealed a proud expression. Although the Starlight Immortal Body showed signs of cracking, it did not break at all. This old fellow was indeed strong, but Meng Yingying stimulated her Mirror Source Spirit with all her strength and consumed half of her spirit energy to send him flying away like a ball.

The dwarves were no longer looking down on these five people.

If the weakest person among them was this strong, then how strong was their strongest person?

The five of them really had the ability to help the dwarves turn defeat into victory. The dwarf chief walked over while being supported by a clansman, "The dwarves agree to your condition. As long as you can kill Kanun and help the dwarves recapture the mine, we'll give you half the treasures!"

Chapter 367: Spider people

Chapter 367: Spider people

The five thousand dwarves neatly stood in the large hall.

Chu Tian sat in a high place looking down on them and couldn't separate them in terms of gender or age because the dwarves were of the same height and looked the same. Their faces were covered in hair, especially the faces covered in beards which had already become their defining feature. It was the same even with men or women. Their general height seemed to be one meter and forty centimeters. They seemed to grow horizontally instead, becoming triangles filled with muscles.

"Kill Kanun!"

"Kill Kanun!"

"Reclaim Oldman Mines!"

"Reclaim Oldman Mines!"

The dwarves had already put on their armours as they raised their weapons and cheered.

Following this, the entire warehouse worth of meat and wine was taken out, letting each person fill their stomach. This was to prepare them to fight all out and fight to their deaths.

The dwarves was not a good race to get along with, not only were the very irritable, they were also very stubborn. Once the dwarves recognized a fact, even the heavenly emperor could not change their mind. So once one was recognized as an enemy by the dwarves, this grudge would remain for their entire lives.

Actually even anyone with a bit of brain would know that Oldman Mines would not remain, The dwarves would not have the power to defend it even after recapturing it, so this hundred year old mine was destined not to belong to the dwarves. Still, could these several thousand people not defend their homeland?

Would the dwarves run away?

Impossible!

Chu Tian understood these tenacious fellows. They knew that staying in the mind meant death, but they weren't willing to give it to anyone. However, this was actually an opportunity for Chu Tian.

Chu Tian was very interested in the Oldman Mines and the dwarves.

Because the dwarves that could keep living were all elites among their clans. Putting aside their fighting strength, they were all generally speaking expert blacksmiths. Chu Tian was strictly a merchant, so the benefits these dwarves could bring him were huge.

Miracle Commerce was still lacking in refining materials and producing items, so if they could annex Oldman Town, wouldn't that greatly make up for Miracle Commerce's shortcomings?

Not bad, not bad!

Deceiving others is what I specialize in!

Vivian was eating a fruit she noticed Chu Tian secretly smiling, "What is big brother Chu Tian smiling about?"

"He's most likely thinking about harming someone!" Meng Yingying understood Chu Tian the best.

Vivian was shocked, "Big brother Chu Tian is a good person, how could he hurt people?"

These words almost made the silent Chen Bingyu on the side choke.

Did the little elf selectively lose her intelligence? Far away, Chu Tian had destroyed the barbarian's home without any mercy, but in the end, the barbarians were singing praise to him and filled with gratitude! If anyone were to fight him to life and death in the future, they would surely be as pitiful as the barbarians.

Dong, dong, dong!

The dwarves hit the battle drums!

The chief personally led his tribe with his armour on.

Chu Tian walked over to the four of them and said, "We should leave too!"

The Oldman Mines was at the end of a canyon. This canyon was very ordinary and if one flew above in a flying demon beast, they would just see the normal sea of trees and no other defining features.

Who would have thought that there would be several mineral veins underground that attracted the dwarves to this place!

This region had many canyons and each canyon had many forks. Although the terrain was very normal, the structure was very complicated. The entrance to the Oldman Mine was a very ordinary looking mountain wall.

Chu Tian looked at it from afar. The entire mountain wall was covered in vines and moss, even with a small waterfall covering it. No matter how one looked at it, there was nothing special about it, it seemed like an ordinary place.

"This is the Oldman Mine, the covering on the wall was designed by the dwarves." The dwarf chief spoke while removing a foot long stone key from his chest. This key's structure was very complicated and there were several different shaped crystals mounted to it, "As long as we insert this key, the stone cliff will separate. Dwarven brothers, let us kill our way in and reclaim our mine and property!"

The dwarves shared the same hatred as they prepared to rush in.

"Wait a minute!" Chu Tian blocked the crude dwarves, "Kanun has several times your troops, so charging does not have any chances of victory."

"We have to fight even if we can't win! Us dwarven brothers do not fear strong enemies!"

"That's right, dwarven brothers do not fear strong enemies!"

"We have to kill Kanun even if we lose our lives!"

"Don't be too excited!" Chu Tian said to the dwarves, "First, let's not rush right now. How about waiting for a bit while you let us go in and assassinate Kanun? Then the spider army will fall into chaos and wouldn't you all have your chance?!"

"Assassinate Kanun?" The dwarf chief's expression changed, "Can you do this? Other than here, we have no other ways of entering!"

Would I mention it if I couldn't do it?

Chu Tian first looked over a detailed map of the Oldman Mine. After sizing up the area, he couldn't help praising it. This mine was truly very big and the dwarves had built a palace inside of it!

The Oldman Palace's design was very suitable with the entire palace being divided into three floors. The excavation and refining areas were on the lowest level, with six main mine tunnels and several dozen work rooms. The living area and storage area was on the middle floor, with over twenty thousand rooms and fifteen streets. The top level was the breeding, cultivating, and activity area, with over eight hundred rooms and special breeding areas.

The entire structure of the mine was like an upside down trapezoid. The top floor was the biggest, being able to accommodate several tens of thousands of people. If they could solve the problem of food and supplies, it was possible for even two-three hundred thousand people to live in here.

How was this a mine?

This was simply an underground city!

"I want you to lead us inside." Chu Tian gave the map to Vivian, "Do you think it's possible?"

"Of course it's no problem!" Vivian raised her chest and confidently replied. However, she did have one worry, "Only I don't know the situation inside the mine and I don't know where Kanun will appear. If we teleport inside and there are a large amount of enemies gathered, wouldn't we be falling into a trap?"

"Ji, ji!"

The little fox's head popped out and there was an extra large jade ball that had appeared in his hand at an unknown time. This was not an ordinary jade ball, there was a pupil on it and it was releasing a strange power.

"Stop showing off!" Chu Tian slapped the little fox's butt, "Do work!"

The little fox gestured with its claws a few times.

"You little fellow, actually trying to bargain with me. Is your skin itchy after not being beaten for too long?" Chu Tian had a clear understanding of the little fox's style. This fellow would not work without profit, so he could only agree, "Alright, alright. I'll give you a portion when the time comes."

Vivian did not understand Chu Tian's pet too well, she just knew that it had a few skills. Moreover, it possessed a human nature and its intelligence was much higher than normal people's.

The little fox gave a satisfied response as it held the divine eyeball and began releasing its Divine Sense.

After a few seconds, the little fox opened its eyes. Its crystal like eyes were sparkling as it jumped into Vivian's hand and pointed at a spot on the map.

"No problem!"

Vivian released her spatial energy to lock onto the position as she brought everyone one by one away. The consumption increased when she teleported with people, so she could not hold on if there were too many people that came with her. Four people already consumed a third of her spirit energy, so she did not dare take anyone else.

The last one to come was Meng Yingying.

Meng Yingying felt space changing around her before she appeared in an unfamiliar environment. Her four sides were sealed and there were no lamps here, but it was not dim at all, rather it was quite bright.

Meng Yingying took a soft step.

Hua la la la la...

This was the sound of jade meeting silver, creating a clear sound. When she looked at it, Meng Yingying was instantly stunned. This was because under her feet were silver "rivers". She had accidentally kicked something when she took a step and a large amount of metal kept falling down. It was very bright as it flowed down like a river.

Meng Yingying picked up a silver ingot. The silver was very smooth and covered in a faint glimmer. This was clearly a kind of energy filled metal like mithril.

The entire ground was covered in the same kind of metal!

When she looked around in shock, she found that this silver river was only a small stream and there were mountains of materials all around her. There were mainly metals in these mountains and most of them were level three and up materials!

"This is too much!" Meng Yingying excitedly said to Chu Tian, "This is exactly what Miracle Commerce needs. After we divide these materials, we'll be able to make weapons immediately!"

There were so many high level metals in here!

They could turn them into many Storm Rifles and Source Energy Cannons!

Miracle Commerce's science and technology would all be able to skip another level!

"Come back here!" Chu Tian grabbed the little fox's tail and pulled it out of the mountain of treasures, "You little fellow, I know why you chose to come to this place!"

The little fox's mouth was filled with fine gold which it swallowed into its mouth. Then it turned into mist as Chu Tian felt his hand become empty. The little fox had jumped several meters away and a small hill was being loaded into the little fox's stomach at a visible speed.

"Little fox, how can you be this disobedient!" Meng Yingying was somewhat curious, "These are all metals, can you digest them after swallowing them!"

The little fox disdainfully looked at Meng Yingying.

You're asking this kind of stupid question? This fox does not need this junk, but the master really needs it. When this fox stores a part of it in my stomach to bargain with, I'll be able to make a killing of my master!

This bastard would become naughty if it wasn't beaten every three days!

This damn fox was asking for it, he should be taught a proper lesson!

How could the little fox be easy to grab? Chu Tian ran all around, but he couldn't grab it in the end.

The storage room's doors suddenly opened.

"What is going on?

"Why is there noise suddenly coming from inside!"

Several strange intelligent beings walked into the storage room.

They seemed to be a mix between humans and spiders. Their top half was just like a human's, but their bottom half had the eight legs of a spider. They walked very fast and each leg was as hard as a steel blade.

The spider people, one of the Spirit Insects!

Chapter 368: Assassination

Chapter 368: Assassination

The spider people were half human and half spider, but one shouldn't think that their top half was the exact same as that of a human's. Even ignoring the bottom spider half, the upper half was like that of a human, but they were still a completely different race from the humans.

First, they did not have mouths and had mouth holes similar to arthropods with two venomous parts sticking out, looking very fierce. The spider people also had insect eyes and a total of four eyes. Their hairs were grey white in colour and it grew very sparsely

Just describing this was enough to imagine just how ugly of a being they were.

Of course, ugly was relative. After all, appraising everything with human standards, there were going to be limits. In the eyes of Spirit Insects, weren't humans ugly?

Of the spider people's eight legs, six were slender just like iron blades and the front two were very thick, easily unearthing the ground. Actually the spider people were a commonly seen Spirit Insect. They were sly and ruthless, good at using traps, and often used poison. The majority of them were experience hunters.

The sounds coming from inside the storage room attracted the attention of the guards.

The few spider men came in to inspect and their knife like legs made clear sounds as they moved across the metal on the ground. Actually the legs of the spider people were special, not only could they easily unearth the ground, they could absorb spirit energy to allow them to walk on walls or even walk on the ceiling.

No matter what the terrain was, it couldn't stop the spider people.

As well, the spider people's legs were covered in fur. This fur was not just ornamental and it could use the spirit energy only the spider people had. This spirit energy could be sent several meters away and if they encountered any kind of vibration, it would not escape the detection of the spider people.

The spider people inspected everything and did not find anything strange.

Were they being too sensitive?

When the spider people's minds were filled with doubt, they suddenly felt something. It was a very soft vibration, just like a sound coming from beneath their feet.

When the spider people looked down, a blue white frost quickly spread from the metal beneath them. They did not even have time to think this was bad before the frost quickly came out. The spider people did not even have time to react before they were turned into ice sculptures.

Chu Tian hit each ice sculpture with his blade and they instantly shattered to pieces.

"Make use of this time!"

The little fox was not too willing as he took out the eyeball. It spread its Divine Sense through the divine eyeball and the entire Oldman Mine, even the smallest detail could not escape his detection.

In a magnificent palace on the second floor, there was a tall and strong spider person who was currently resting in a large pile of dwarf treasures, only revealing half his body. This spider person was not the same as the others. Although he was also half spider and half human, his build was at least double that of a normal spider person!

The skin of his upper half was dark blue and he was covered in strange totems and incantations. He was wearing a beautiful armour as well as purely ornamental cloak, with an over three meter laying beside him.

That's right.

This was surely the Spider Count, Kanun!

Kanun was sleeping soundly, but surrounding the palace was a dense web of spider silk. When the little fox's Divine Sense entered the palace, almost all the strands of spider silk began to shake. These vibrations followed the thread into the pillar and the ground before reaching the structure surrounding Kanun's legs.

Hu!

Kanun's body rose from within the countless treasures and the ugly Spirit Insect face was filled with vigilance, "Divine Sense? Someone is spying on us with Divine Sense. There was a mouse that snuck in!"

When they heard the leader's voice.

Several hundred elite spider race warriors charged in.

"Search!" Kanun angrily roared, "They should be close, have everyone gather here. Find that mouse for me!"

Almost instantly, several thousand spider people gathered together. They quickly searched high and low, quickly searching around the main hall.

The little fox put away the eyeball and gestured a few times to Chu Tian.

Vivian asked, "Did it find him?"

"It did, but it's a bit bad. We have already been found."

"What? How did they notice us!"

Chu Tian never would have thought that the spider race would have this kind of special ability. Not only would the spider silk tremble from normal vibrations and energy, it could even sense Divine Sense scanning. This was very rare.

"Kanun has gathered his army, it is impossible to ambush him now. The entire mine is filled with spider people searching for us, once they find our position, it will be impossible to complete our task.

Their faces all fell slightly.

Although the five of them were very strong, they could not resist being surrounded by tens of thousands of people!

Not to mention the fact that from the dwarf's descriptions, Kanun was a True Spirit Realm expert!

They thought they could use Vivian's spatial skills to easily assassinate them, but who would have thought this accident would occur? They had underestimated these insects!

Meng Yingying nervously asked, "What should we do?"

"This matter is a bit troublesome, but there's no need to worry." Chu Tian maintained his calm. It actually wasn't all that scary, "The little fox using the divine eyeball to release its Divine Sense is directly jumping over space to investigate a spot, this is different from normally releasing one's Divine Sense. Kanun will definitely focus on searching the surrounding area first and when that fails, he will gradually send people further. When the troops slowly spread out, we will choose that time to strike!"

"Alright!"

It was as Chu Tian speculated.

Kanun thought the intruders were near the palace, so he gathered several thousand people to search, not leaving any corners unturned. The spider men had very good detection abilities, so with this many of them searching around, even if the other side had powerful hiding cultivation techniques, they would still be found.

However, no matter how the spider people searched, they could not find the other side at all.

This made Kanun worried. Could the other side have escaped the moment they were discovered? The inside and outside were all heavily guarded, so if they could escape from these defenses, they were certainly not ordinary people.

"Humph, these sly mice!" Kanun was a bit restless, "Search. Turn the ground upside down, you still have to find them! I don't believe that they could disappear into thin air!"

Kanun ordered the spider army to disperse and search, but there was spider silk in every part of the palace, so this defense was enough to prevent them from launching an ambush. Even if they are skilled in sneaking, could they pass this wall? Even if they could, the slightest bit of energy would cause this spider silk to vibrate.

Not to mention the fact that Kanun was discrete, sending people out while keeping one-two hundred elites by his side. So, he could easily deal with any situation that arises.

Kanun could not understand, how did people come in?

While he was puzzled, the spider silk around him trembled. This time wasn't a Divine Sense scan, but rather a strong energy vibration. An incomparably sharp energy sliced through all the other energy in the space and directly ripped the space apart.

"This is bad! Spatial energy!" Kanun was shocked, "Be careful, there's an assassin!"

Vivian created a spatial channel and they charged through it. There were over a hundred spider people guards around Kanun, but Vivian raised her hand to slice the space and several dozen guards were cut into two pieces.

This spatial attack could completely ignore all defenses!

Because the attack warped space itself, causing the attack to come at a spatial level, no matter how condensed or compact an item was, it would still be torn apart.

Kanun quickly released his spirit energy and used his energy to distort the space, thus reducing the effect of the spatial attack. He loudly shouted, "Kill them all!"

The spider people guards raised their weapons and charged forward.

Chen Bingyu and Dongfang Haoran went left and right respectively, instantly killing several dozen spider people guards.

Kanun felt that this matter was bad, these people were especially strong and just these few guards could not stop them, he had to quickly call the rest of the army over. He released his energy into several strands of spider silk and that energy was transmitted to various places. Almost every single spider person received this urgent message and immediately headed in the direction of the main hall.

The sounds of the spider people army charging in could be heard in every direction.

At most in a few seconds, this place would be surrounded!

Meng Yingying quickly shouted, "Vivian, quickly kill him!"

Vivian sent out another spatial cut, but Kanun had already spread his energy around him. Although his cultivation base was not high enough to stop the spatial attack, it could still slow down this spatial cut. Kanun dodged to the side and avoided being seriously injured, but one of his legs was still cut off.

You have good luck!

Vivian gave a snort as she gathered even more spirit energy.

Kanun was a True Spirit Realm expert, but he was only in the 1st layer. This elf with spatial energy was at least in the 3rd True Spirit Layer, so he was definitely not her match. He had to quickly escape!

Pu!

Kanun spat out a mouthful of poison fog and immediately began to run away.

"Flame Demon Transformation!"

Chu Tian turned into the flame demon and entered his second form. Like a speeding meteor, he overtook Kanun in front of him and slashed down with his flaming sword.

"Seeking death!"

Kanun could feel from Chu Tian's aura that this person was probably in the 8th Awakened Soul Layer. Even if he released a strange secret technique, not being weaker than a peak 9th Awakened Soul Layer, but thinking that he could defend against a True Spirit Cultivator was being too overconfident.

He pulled out a spear!

Who would have thought that when Chu Tian released his full strength slash, he also released his Demon God's Sword Source Spirit. This close to God Level Source Spirit immediately increased the power of the sword glow several times.

Dang!

A fissure appeared in Chu Tian's protective starlight and he was sent flying several feet, while Kanun was only pushed back a single step, but he still revealed a look of utter disbelief. Although Kanun did have the advantage, forcing back a True Spirit Realm Cultivator with strength in the trivial Awakened Soul Realm was an almost impossible matter!

Chu Tian's cultivation had increased recently, so he was satisfied with this first fight!

Kanun's cultivation was only a bit weaker than Malim's, being able to fight this kind of opponent and not being injured, this was enough to fill Chu Tian in the 8th Awakened Soul Layer with pride.

This did not mean it was Chu Tian's victory. If he didn't use the power of his main source spirit, he would not last more than ten rounds. But the most important thing was that it wasn't important if Chu Tian won or not, he just had to stop Kanun's movement!

Vivian exploded with power to create several slashes on the spatial level!

"No!"

Kanun gave a pitiful scream as he was turned into different sized pieces. Neither his protective spirit energy and defensive cultivation technique had any effect as he was turned into neat fragments like cut tofu.
